* Documentation (Olivier)
+ Features x Doc gap wiki page: https://goo.gl/4m9rVS
+ Started with Drafts of Getting Started 5.1 in ODFAuthors Preface and
Introduction
+ to see how much work it is to update it.
+ contents needs to be examined deeply.
+ steep learning curve - absorbing the books; lots of good things there.
+ need to study and build some Easy-Doc-Hacks
+ hope to have a documentation track in Bruno.
+ Patch with XSLT experiment into Helpcontent2/: https://goo.gl/11FT9b
* l10n (Sophie)
+ it is quiet now.
* GSoC 2016 (JanI/Thorsten)
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas
+ 3 admin volunteers: janI, Moggi, Thorsten
+ mentors: please make sure patches from your students are merged, or
commented
+ 33 proposals at the moment:
+ more expected last minute.
+ March 25th last due for proposals
+ April 1st (no joke) last day for merged easyHacks
+ April 11th, last day for slot requests
+ need to be reviewed by this date.
+ mentors: good applicant, status "incomplete", please mail and help
+ the proposal has to be 'final' by tomorrow 19:00
+ people need to ensure that promising students set their proposal to
'final'
+ how can we check; is it visible from the UI ?
+
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/proposals/shared/?sp-organization=4911387578990592&sp-page=2
+ doesn't matter if the proposal is not in the wiki
+ but need to consider the final (ie. 'complete') proposal
* Firebird update (Michael S)
+ upgrade to Firebird to 3.0 and hope for the best
+ think it's a good idea.
=> good plan - consensus.
* Headless build - is OpenGL a hard dependency ? (Thorsten)
+ See discussion in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/23474/
(Thorsten/Oliver/Moggi)
+ likely if you run headless on Linux - don't have X installed.
+ OGL pulls some dependencies in.
+ having a tinderbox protect that.
+ GL a great cross-platform API (Michael)
+ love it, works everywhere except headless.
+ like flexiblity integrate everywhere (Thorsten)
+ concerned wrt. cost.
+ ideal to have Mesa / llvm-pipe GL anywhere (Michael)
+ want to protect the direction (Thorsten)
+ build llvm-pipe, as external ? (Bjoern)
+ headless - currently has no GL support (Michael)
+ it doesn't break anything that works currently.
+ We agree on the direction - towards GL (Thorsten)
+ happy to have and ship a fallback; Mesa / etc. eventually
+ pleased with the direction towards cross-plat. GL
+ could we not use glew (Miklos)
+ would it not be easier to use Glew.
+ lets clobber it there.
AI:+ investigate clobberring glew: (Oliver, Moggi)
+ have a compile-option to:
+ not hard-link GL
+ and -> do nothing =)
+ thanks to Oliver - identified all the hard places already (Thorsten)
* Windows XP: when do we drop support for unsupported OS ? (Thorsten)
+ "lets educate users not to user an obsolete system ?" - on IRC.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/end-support-help
+ According to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems#Web_clients
still used ~5-10% of all Windows clients
+ seems lame to force users' hands.
+ not our job to this (Jmux, Thorsten)
+ 1 technical argument (Miklos)
+ master not building on XP.
+ sha256 - using a constant not there in the sdk.
+ pushed a gerrit patch; but no XP machine to test it in.
+ do we have a tinderbox for XP ? (Michael)
+ there are tinderboxes, using the XP SDK base-line (Cloph)
+ been spamming for a while.
+ will new compilers support targetting Win-XP ?
+ apparently so (Thorsten)
+ the 64/32 thing (Norbert)
+ lets not spend much effort on it
+ but not do it for the sake of it.
+ nice transition point - don't want 32 & 64 XP.
+ when we switch to 64bit - drop XP ?
+ still have pre-XP compat code (Michael)
+ lets kill that first.
+ 20 open bugs on bugzilla - with WinXP in the title (Bjoern)
+ not a huge proportion (Michael)
+ announce it is deprecated in 5.2 ? (Norbert)
+ and close the bugs ?
+ tdf#98847: "it is impossible to install LibreOffice on Windows XP"
(Bjoern)
+ just a debug / tinderbox thing ?
+ SDK 10 base-line - does it work on XP ? (Norbert)
-> allegedly yes, see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35047957/visual-studio-2015-building-with-the-windows-xp-toolset-selected-still-results
→ with VS 2015 compiler, not necessarily with SDK 10
"The Windows XP platform toolset that's included in Visual Studio
is a version of the Windows 7 SDK
that was included in Visual Studio 2010, but it uses the current
C++ compiler" → 7.1A SDK
+ VirtualBox dropped support for XP last summer (Bjoern)
=> consensus to deprecate XP for 5.2 - but not remove support then:
=> -but- moving to VS 2015 is more important than XP support for 5.2
* UX Update (Kendy/Bubli)
+ 'save' toolbar button discussion
+ would like their own special toolbar with 'save'
that doesn't the other 'save to remote' bits.
+ agreed - will provide that.
+ can have links of UNO commands
+ code from Maxim to improve this.
+ sidebar survey:
+ completed, discuss results there.
+ trends need researching there.
+ how many people fill out surveys ? (Michael)
+ for draw - 1200 (Kendy)
+ for sidebar - 900
+ they get advertised on the design blog.
+ they read the comments not just numbers.
+ lots of good ideas in comments not numbers.
+ all raw data is published in the wiki.
AI: + provide Italo some data: "thanks to 10,000 respondants in last
year" (Kendy)
+ single toolbar mode (Jay)
+ have a UI that is google-docs-like.
+ possible with notebookbar work; with a new UI file there.
+ on-track with our general direction.
+ concern wrt. context sensitivity (Thorsten)
+ don't like new toolbars appearing and disappearing
triggering document re-size nightmares.
+ definitely; notebookbar discussed with Samuel (Kendy)
+ makes it possible to have the notebookbar at the top.
+ and yet have toolbars as now if you want.
+ What about these platform-specific keymapping changes (Bjoern)
e.g. https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98290#c5
+ do we have some consensus on when to be crossplatform,
what to be plaform-integrated?
+ Mac - different bindings: (Kendy)
+ Mac has platform-specific F11 etc.
+ not grauitous change.
+ best to discuss with Jay.
+ project needs to watch large-scale UI change (Thorsten)
+ tension between: OS style guide vs. cross-plat consistency (Michael)
+ expect design to balance that.
+ already have some Win not working vs. Linux (JMux)
+ have bug reports.
* Crashtest update (Caolan)
+ ? import failures, ? export failures, ? coverity ?
+ missing the Caolan.
* Hackfests (Bjoern)
+ next venues / suggestions
+ Ankara, Turkey
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Ankara2016
+ plan do an overview talk first (Michael)
+ Gran Canaria hack-fest (Thorsten)
+ April 6-9th variously 7th/8th is the core.
+ 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
+ 27-29 May (parallel to the Debian Sun Camp)
* Mentoring Update (JanI)
+ gerrit: 158 open patches of which 105 can be merged if no open comments
84 from contributors of which 52 can be merged if no open comments
+ hope to mail old developers (no contributions for 3 months) soon
+ GSOC burying JanI in work.
+ ask people to CC in gerrit those filing the easy hacks (Bjoern)
* Commit Access
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy/Thorsten)
+ pending next cycle.
* Jenkins / CI update (Norbert)

look from an experienced developer
