Miklos, Robinson, Stephan, Jan-Marek , Lionel, Cloph, Caolan,
Jacobo, Eike, Michael S, Muthu
* Completed Action Items:
+ setup call to co-ordinate new load/save/validate hardware (Markus)
+ stick with the GetSolarVersion plan put it into the release notes
(Marcos)
+ revert boost::rational changes for now (Kendy)
+ poke Taras wrt. UI / telemetry code re-use here (Michael)
* Pending Action Items:
+ get a clear use-case description of what doesn't work vs. master wrt.
Calc sorting (JBF)
[ Work in progress. At the moment I have at least 3 different use-cases:
# bank account: the sorted range contains a column where each cell
contains the same formula (fdo#81633 and fdo#85215)
# sorting students by their scores: the cells in the sorted column
contains formula with functions like AVERAGE() or SUM() (fdo#79441)
# computing an indicator from data: the cell containing the formula
with references is outside the range of cells that is sorted (fdo#45146)
# I am pretty sure I will find other use-cases ]
AI:[ poke JBF - what is the status here ? and what to do next ? ]
+ look at regressions associated with a SUSE bugzilla bugfix (Timar)
* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
+ 4.2.7 4.3.3 released as final today
AI: + mention calc sorting issue in the 4.2.7 release notes.
+ unclear what went wrong wrt. bug reporting / fixing / on
that issue and/or how to fix it.
+ Questionable new feature breaks existing workflow / new behavior
set as default / new feature backported to stable
+ 4.4 Alpha 1 status
+ horrible problem with calc - not refreshing the background
+ zoom issues etc. a display problem.
+ fixed via a revert.
+ problem building all languages on Windows
+ prolly the PATH limit too: for now building in c:\lo\
+ working on a fix to make it less reliant on v. short paths
+ how did the VS 2013 build go
+ no problems related to this identified yet;
+ do we get issues with earlier CPUs with no SSE2 ?
+ good that we discovered these breakages early (Bjoern)
AI: + poke at fdo#84854 (Michael)
+ no harm in reverting for now, can always replace.
+ 4.4 Alpha 2
+ planning to do a new tag later this week for testing.
+ 4.4.0 Beta 1 / Feature Freeze
+ due November 17th.
+ 4.3.4 RC1 - Nov 24th
+ Android Remote
* Crashtest futures / automated test scripts (Markus)
+ call on Tuesday; new testing hardware.
+ result - get a Manitu server leave room in the budget for
ondemand Amazon instances (with spot pricing) if there is
special need at some point.
+ will migrate when we have the perf. crash. testing fuzzing,
and should bring down all the times.
+ perf testing: in 2-3 hours (same day)
+ crash testing: to ~1 day.
+ talked with Matus: a way to notify developers similar to tinderbox.
+ could have bibsect repositories there too (Norbert)
+ and at least 1 VM to try crazy new testing ideas.
+ budget specifically for load/save/validate testing (Michael)
+ any concerns / Bjoern ?
+ lets not let that creep in wildly; test new things,
but not burn lots of CPU.
+ what was missing - a real comparison of prices ? (Bjoern)
+ comparison happened on the mailing list by now.
+ decision to buy the base-load and dynamically rent the discretionary work.
+ when does it arrive ? (Michael)
+ Florian pinging Manitu wrt. conditions etc.
+ will take 2-4 weeks to get it setup.
+ right after Beta 1-2 will that be a good time ? (Bjoern)
+ mostly just migrating the VM(s) across (Cloph)
+ ~trivial to migrate the workload (Markus)

(25-Oct-2014)
+ still a big spike in DOCX export crashers
+ if no-one beats him: will look into it next week (Miklos)
+ otherwise similar to last week
+ most of the PDF import crashers fixed since last week
+ RTF import export are now set to zero (Miklos)
* Seattle Hackfest (Robinson/Norbert)

+ lots of Linux Mac users showed up, few Windows users

+ several people eager to come but couldn't make it - eager to come
next time.
+ lots of build work (Norbert)
+ lots of setup / long heavy etc.
+ got 5-6 new people with builds
+ how did pre-built VM's fare (Michael)
+ a couple of guys used that (Norbert)
+ 1x person on IRC, asked for help with x2go connection (Cloph)
+ saw 1x building 1x using only.
+ better documentation -
