* Documentation (Olivier)
+ asking for help on the list to build docs around new features
+ contacted a couple of new guys interested in helping out there
+ setting up internal tooling, keys etc.
+ branching of translations ?
+ since 5.1 - there are lots of new pages in the help
that need translation
+ is 5.1 stable in terms of translation ?
+ new pages arrive in master.
+ already branched translations (Cloph)
+ bug in rc2 tag that made people think there was an issue.
=> why we had RC3 - there is no issue, move along.
+ pootle is currently being filled up as of now
+ tomorrow it will be done: separate master & 5.1 branches.
+ changes on master will not harm translators.
* GSoC 2016 (Thorsten, JanI)
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas
+ 3 admin volunteers: janI, Moggi, Thorsten
+ next step - mid next month: opens for students to apply.
+ last chance to add new GSoC ideas
+ people without projects to mentor: Eike, Caolan, Michael M, Norbert,
Andras
+ if you did not get a mentor invite ping us
+ unclear quite where to sign-up; not seen a mail (Bjoern)
+ subject: "GSoC 2016: Invitation to be a Mentor for LibreOffice" from
<summerofcode-nore...@google.com>
AI: + poke an admin if you didn't get the memo (All)
resent mail to Bjoern and Michael (janI)
* UX Update (Kendy)
+ statistics being built from the draw survey by Heiko
+ last meeting - finalized the sidebar survey
+ if you have a view - please participate.
+ where do surveys show up ? (Michael)
+ on the planet ?
+ design blog should be subscribed & shows up (Kendy)
+
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2016/02/26/what-do-you-expect-from-the-sidebar-in-libreoffice/
+ budget requests from design & docs team
+ lots of GSOC talk.
+ interest there, but need mentors.
* Crashtest update (Caolan)
+ 6 import failures, 0 export failures, 31 coverity
+ new coverity numbers expected by tomorrow
+ expected to shrink.
+ coverity - expected to halve, removed lots of Java bits.
* drop gstreamer 0.10/bump baseline (tdf#94508) (Bjoern)
+ are there parallel installable packages for 1.0 for CentOS6 ? (Michael)
+ don't know if we have packages (Caolan)
AI: + attempt to re-build a recent 1.0 / core spec file on CentOS6 (Cloph)
+ if that fails, abandon it; use a distro package ?
* development budget, late addition: "kill scp2" tender (Bjoern)
+ proposal to tender to kill scp2.
+ has lots of windows installer logic included
+ 15k under-maintained LOC
+ problems caused like GL file-list missing
+ do-able from releng, or tender it ?
+ is it split-able into easy-hacks ? (Kendy)
+ already have auto-install one (Bjoern)
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90753
+ are there somewhat mechanical steps ? (Kendy)
+ converted 50 files - and happy !
+ some - like auto-install; can be done in gbuild tdf#90753 (Bjoern)
+ some dark awfulness for Windows.
+ functionality around registry entries,
custom actions etc. (Timar)
+ goal to kill make_installer.pl msidb ? (Michael)
+ goal to kill make_installer for Linux at least (Bjoern)
+ technical level happy (Norbert)
+ not so happy with the tender.
+ not broken just now - why break it (Stephan)
+ concerns wrt. lack of pressing urgent need.
=> make a clearer proposal.
* Windows / fonts (Michael)
+ please read my mail; freetype / harfbuzz everywhere ?
+ seems sensible (Michael S)
+ concerned wrt. resources to maintain 5x different
platform rendering backends.
+ users expect stability across platforms (Miklos)
+ any insight into up-stream / harfbuzz development (Thorsten)
+ do we become the maintainer ?
+ background: Chromium already gone to harfbuzz everywhere (Caolan)
+ perhaps less of a layout concern.
+ thought about it in the past
+ ways from Adobe to add weird fonts.
+ pros can be unhappy.
+ OpenType helps &
+ concerned if it is a good idea.
+ not just Chromium using Harfbuzz on Win+Mac - also Mozilla (Michael S)
+ maintainer employed by Google, working full-time.
+ harfbuzz - has configuration mode; will not render fonts
by itself, but can use uniscribe on Windows
+ but encapsulates that with HarfBuzz API.
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/harfbuzz/tree/src/hb-shaper-list.hh
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/harfbuzz/tree/src/hb-uniscribe.cc
+ happy if that's reasonably serious (Thorsten)
+ damned if you do, or don't (Norbert)
+ love a free-software font rendering stack we can fix (Michael)
+ will need, for Windows - to use whatever weird Adobe fonts (Thorsten)
+ people feel strongly about their weird fonts.
* Hackfests (Bjoern)
+ next venues / suggestions
+ Ankara, Turkey
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Ankara2016
+ talked to them; lots of enthusiasm & desire for training.
+ suggested date: 2016-04-30
+ hope to go & do an overview talk first (Michael)
+ DavidO hoping to go
+ Gran Canaria hack-fest (Thorsten)
+ April 6-8th (7-9th) possibly
+ Plan is to craft it according to the Japanese
Mini-Conference, with a broader local community appeal
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/LibreOffice_Espania_Summit
+ announced on Spanish list (janI)
+ Germany, Munich, LiMux; End of May 2016 (Jan-Marek)
+ Orga: https://wiki.debian.org/BSP/2016/05/de/Munich
+ Weekend doodle:
https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/LiMux_Hackfest_May_2016/
+ 19-21 or 27-29
+ closes next Mon -> select weekend.
* Mentoring Update (JanI)
+ gerrit: 160 open patches of which 107 can be merged if no open comments
76 from contributors of which 44 can be merged if no open
comments
+ GSoC commits, please give a hand to get patches merged, so we can
evaluate students
+ need to have a good review to evaluate them.
+ added needsDevEval (easyHacks) to ESC report
+ 399 needs evaluation (and code pointers) please give a hand
+ lots can be converted to easy-hacks, but needs code-pointers.
+ Gerrit monthly abandon patches (only 1, so the regular work starts to
pay off)
+ started working on a tool to update easyhacks with many bz comments
+ added as infra-tdf admin
+ EasyHack https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91794
+ Discuss of when to use #if 0, and to use/not use #ifdef
<module>_DEBUG
+ lack of consensus here.
+ rationale so far (Bjoern)
+ we have two somewhat tinderboxed/CIed debug levels:
+ compatible build
(--enable-debug/--enable-selective-debuginfo/"make
sfx.clean && make debug=t sfx2")
=> must be compatible with rest of the build being
non-debug
+ incompatible build (--enable-dbgutil)
=> must be compatible with rest of the build being dbgutil
+ IMHO it doesnt make sense to have more than these two debug
levels (would bitrot anyway):
=> move all code in one of those or kill it
+ some code v. expensive / specifix (Norbert)
+ sympathetic to having it around.
+ dislike #if OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL > 1 etc. (Bjoern)
+ there are valid use cases for _DEBUG code (Eike/[Moggi])
+ see for example DEBUG_MATRIX in calc
+ code for debugging complex data structures
+ impossible to debug some parts of the code without such code
+ impossible to write that code each time you need to
debug it
+ agree with removing several debug levels (Eike)
+ but leave DEBUG_FOO macros
+ doing it blindly a problem; needs some insight & review.
+ could handle macros similarly for config feature-tests (Stephan)
+ where we define them as all as zero
+ and everywhere #if DEBUG_FOO etc. so we don't get
new ones of these
+ could change them all to 1 to avoid bit-rot
+ good to document them centrally.
+ concern wrt. ripple include (Michael)
+ we have around 15 pending (JanI)
+ concerned wrt. actions on review feedback.
+ wine has some complex debug env. var (JMux)
+ could be used to turn off expensive stuff (Stephan)
AI: => switch easy-hack to turn: OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL > 1 to OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL >
0 (Bjoern)
* l10n Update (Sophie)
+ nothing apart from glad to fix rc2.
+ genlang was introduced recently - what is it ? (Kendy)
+ an old project, brought in, currently runs as it used to run (JanI)
+ reading the code extracting & merging l10n
+ it replaces ulfex etc. into a C++ hierarchy using
lex to describe things so it is maintainable.
+ 1st ver -> don't change the po files.
+ goal is to generate the same po files as now.
+ including Online translations to pootle ? (Andras)
+ will do it once we have updated the project (Sophie, Cloph)
+ want the 5.1 project setup first.
* Commit Access
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy/Thorsten)
+ pending next cycle.
* Jenkins / CI update (Norbert)
