* Release Engineering update (Christian)
+ 5.2.0 RC2
+ tagged yesterday
+ all builds except Win32 already up-loaded
+ Win32 just completed & will be up-loaded
+ Markus fixed the XP compatibiltiy (thanks)
+ libreoffice 5-2-0 branch
+ ensure you cherry-pick fixes to the branch
+ double review needed at this stage
+ when was it created ? (Stephan)
+ right before tagging; very early this morning (Cloph)
+ 12 patches on -5-2 branch not in -5-2-0 (Bjoern)
+ do we need to re-file ?
+ didn't review or pick changes in queue (Cloph)
+ just the XP ones.
+ please do take care of that.
+ please review your patches & target branches v.s 5-2
+ 5.1.5 rc1 : July 12th next week.
+ Android & iOS Remote
+ fixed the crashes on startup
+ builds prepared, but not up-loaded yet
+ want to test on actual devices first.
* tinderbox build up-loads (Michael/Robinson)
+ Two problems (Cloph)
+ packaging code missing a ';'
+ tests for some bugs failing without cleartype enabled
+ RDP connections - not working - now disabled.
+ patch here still in gerrit (Miklos)
+ patch is workaround for non-cleartype pixel counts
+ nice XML dump for text positioning is real fix (Thorsten)
+ perl send-email not working for a while (Thorsten)
+ google/SSL changes - builds not notifying.
+ http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/
+ Daily Mac builds? (Robinson)
+ only working with enable-debug configuration.
+ crashes without that; updated machine with el-Capitan
+ for master, but 5.2
+ without daily tinderbox / mac builds until we fix master crashes.
+ release builds are built on release base-line & not affected.
* Documentation (Olivier)
+ delivered chapter on 5.1 Draw.
+ last chapter that is missing is Impress - with a volunteer.
+ community stimulation
+ local teams, more active than English speaking community.
+ trying to get some ideas & actions of how to encourage
English speaking communities.
+ isn't it expected that devs write documentation ? (Heiko)
+ hard for devs to write docs (Olivier)
+ quite a gap here.
+
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=80430&hide_resolved=1
+ advice to give students workign on UI ?
+ producing bullet points of changes ?
+ been raised before (Olivier)
+ good to encourage students to document this stuff
+ one page on this helps; how to work with it etc.
+ can take & transform to a help page.
+ functions & featrues in calc - no line about them.
+ blog entries great - but any data is good.
+ blogs help qA & l10n too (Sophie)
+ filed a bug to add help menu entries
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96015
Added request for additional info to make it a valid EasyHack
(jani)
* GSoC 2016 (Thorsten)
+ Next deadline is August 23rd for final evaluation.
+ poke & ask/encourage students to submit & register for LibOCon
+ particularly for foreign students.
=> will be re-imbursed up to Eur 1k each, for more ask mentor.
+ concern wrt. students returning to university at end of month
+ be aware & work with them etc.
+ reminder - blogging at a minimum helps docs / QA teams etc.
* Suggested plan for OpenCL in Calc, going ahead (Michael)
+ talked with several Calc guys: Markus, Kohei, Eike etc.
+ help->about details implemented [ good idea ]
+ existing S/W performance unit tests improved [ ongoing ]
+ meeting concerns:
+ pre-qualify OpenCL driver before its use (ideally 1st ever start)
+ move and improve tests -> before first use [ in progress ]
+ have a small, simple spreadsheet: easy to add new tests.
+ disable CL if any problems found.
+ [ also include 'OpenCLZone' early crash / disabler ]
+ ongoing Calc maintenance
+ investing more here; driven by calc guys but plans are:
+ further MDDS corner-case / performance work & debuggability
+ continuing to cleanup formula & acceleration work
+ OpenCL kernel simplification
+ white & black-list improvement / download / sign (?)
+ could we use the new-driver / test-document for this ?
+ proposal:
+ get CL pre-validation into 5.2.0.x & 5.1.5.1
+ leave defaults as is.
+ re-visit in six months.
+ in general: sounds good (Eike)
+ not fond of adding into 5.1.5 - just one release to fix it.
+ rather switch default for 5.1.5
+ important for us to keep it on (Michael)
+ if it goes wrong - need to commit to fixing it asap (Eike)
+ weeks after RC2 - fixing things in not much time.
+ of ~90 calc patches in - 5.1.x - 12 are us fixing this stuff (Michael)
+ so there is maintenance ongoing.
+ perhaps better to decide when we have the startup / test code
(Thorsten)
+ general question: would you trust your business to it ?
+ tests run every time ?
+ just first time when drivers change (Michael)
+ make it an easy-to-tweak spreadsheet
+ re-visit next week -> check with the calc guys.
=> get this into gerrit for review and see what we can do pre-release
(Michael)
+ no veto so far (Thorsten, Eike)
* UX Update (Heiko)
+ Proposal to improve layers and object selection in Draw by pushing the
navigator
+ issues and enhancement requests around dealing with layers & object
selection:
+ early stage hpowever, comments welcome
+ would like to discuss with UX team
+
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bbbjhMcbdbxPT3UQfaGDEhQ5vy2H1qu_a7b9ICeJ3Ck/edit?usp=sharing
+ will run for a few weeks; discuss & -> whiteboard & blog-posts
+ and then get feedback -> pushing to next year's GSOC (?)
+ two stage feedback process.
* Crashtest update (Caolan)
+ 0 import failures, 2 export failure, coverity out for a while
+ and with a refreshed bug database / set.
+ up to date with Monday's issues.
+ coverity - now on F24 - doesn't work there
* Hackfests (Bjoern)
+ next hackfests: nothing confirmed yet.
+ Hamburg Home-hacking setup (Bjoern)
[ just sent out an E-mail; perhaps in 2 weeks ? ]
+ next venues / suggestions
+ Chaos event - good for outreach; at the same time as Munich.
+ Infra Meetup: July 24th to 30th, close to Munich (kaufbeuren)
+ Akademy / FSFE summit - in the week before LibOCon ? (Thorsten)
+ more suggestions welcome
+ Autumn / week-long Home-Hacking in Hamburg with students? (Bjoern)-
+ advertise at university ? C++ training ? etc.
* LibreOffice Conference in Brno - CfP open (Sophie)
+ Kendy & Thorsten on program committee:
+
https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2016/04/08/libreoffice-brno-conference-call-for-paper/
+ deadline is mid July.
=> think what to submit / chase people ...
+ travelling to Brno -> fly to Prague / Vienna unlikely to go direct
(BMI has a flight from Münich, others from London).

+ Abandoning patches due to lack of review, so proposal:
+ have been doing this over a period.
+ When a contributor patch is more than 3 weeks old, has no negative
comments
from reviewers/jenkins and the code looks good, then I merge it
+ will review, even though not an expert in this part.
+ against breaking things (Eike)
+ often takes 2-3 weeks to get to patch reviews.
+ not seen any calc ones - good reviews from Markus & others
(JanI)
+ some things easy to judge; some not.
+ alternative - loose contributors - left hanging.
+ negative reviews (Stephan)
+ includes those comments that are negative - but not including
-1
+ all the comments are read (JanI)
+ these guys have no comments at all
+ try to guess who is the relevant developer who can do a proper
review ? (Miklos)
+ do it every morning, try to assign reviewers.
+ nothing has > 24 hours without a reviewer.
+ many areas where no active maintainer (Miklos)
+ like to restrict it to areas where there are fewer reviewers
(Michael)
+ throw people into maintaining by breaking it (Bjoern)
+ fine with it (Stephan)
=> consensus: let JanI get on with it as above
+ summer time, not many new people
+ a steady set of contributors working towards commitaccess.
+ starting to add code pointers to NEEDINFO, but do need help, suggestions ?
+ have added some to help people.
* Commit Access
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy/Thorsten)
=> timeout for 8 weeks.
* Jenkins / CI update (Norbert)
+ missing him.
* l10n (Sophie)
+ lots of work, busy chasing 5.2
+ lots of help file changes.
* Screenshot branch (Thorsten)
+ dialog screenshots branch
+ works on Windows & Linux
+ adds things to subsequenttests.
+ sounds cool: overview ? (Michael)
+ TDF tender from ESC, done by CIB.
+ being able to open every dialog, take a screenshot & put it into the
help.
+ also able to auto-update the help after that.
+ some dialogs need lots of context.
+ in the subesquenttests - now opens quite some dialogs
+ Bubli fixed a number of problems; Caolan helped out too.
+ Older mockup is here (Heiko)
