the previous palette.
AI: + ask UX advise how to improve color management UI team (Markus)

+ can we use the a new color selection dialog mockup ?
+ tools->options for color selection.

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-ux-advise/2012-October/001468.html
AI: + setup call for designs for FOSDEM T-shirts (Astron)

* Release Engineering update (Fridrich)
+ 3.5.7 - retrospective / thoughts
+ released last week after small delay
+ found show-stopper before release
+ 3.6.3 rc2 status
+ tag for 3.6.3rc2 made, almost all are up-loaded to
pre-releases
+ waiting for Mac/Intel, mirror sync is started
+ 36 hours to announce / early evening/next week
+ bug-reporting assistant / wiki mismatch
+ all solved - thanks to Cloph & Rob Snelders
* Submodules / retrospective (Norbert?)
+ love it though it broke all the tinderboxes (Thorsten)
* What makes software good software (Lionel)
+ some concerns from integrators / deployers around speed
of release
+ tried to get to the bottom of this
+ concerns around different regressions across major
versions
+ desire for long-term support without any cost
+ an LTS version with bug-fixes etc.
+ this service / tedious work is provided in return for cash
which helps improve the ecosystem (Kendy)
+ some distros already do it - and back-port only
security issues (Lionel)
+ that wouldn't do it for these guys (Joel)
+ we're trying to improve quality generally, lots of ideas:
'sponsored unit tests' eg. otherwise either do it yourself,
pay for it, or persuade someone (Caolan)
+ they're trying persuasion here
+ happy to support new volunteers to do an LTS release if they want to.
+ concerned about stranding regressions that stop people upgrading
+ could create bug bounties for such regressions ? (Bjoern)
+ perhaps these scale to small sums nicely ?
+ how many are still listed UNCONFIRMED ? (Joel)
+ very rare for 'regression' to be in whiteboard status
+ Rob Snelders had a plan around getting
"is it a regression" into the BSA
* Proposed easy-hacks -> Easy Hacks (Joel)
+ Building a reasonable backlog of 'proposed easy hacks'
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=147895&status_whiteboard_type=anywordssubstr&query_format=advanced&status_whiteboard=ProposedEasyHack&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=REOPENED&product=LibreOffice
+ Request for developers to poke at:
+ is it an easy hack ?
+ get some code pointers into them
+ use of 'proposed easy hacks' as a pointer to do it later (Lionel)
+ could we defer filling out the task details until someone asks ?
(Joel)
+ if asked could get details in a few days (Lionel)
+ big preference for mentoring / deeper discussion on
the mailing list not in bugzilla (Kohei)
AI: + Do some triage as to who would be a good mentor ? (Bjoern)
AI: + re-visit next week / or so post conference (us)
* Easy hacks (Bjoern)
+ could we promote 3-4 of our own easy-hacks on twitter each ?
+ wiki is already upgraded, but keeps the old style markup with
an extension; worth going through and updating that syntax (Thorsten)
+ for anyone with lots of time on hands - we could improve / get
inspired by:
+ http://www.joshmatthews.net/bugsahoy/ and/or
+ http://whatcanidoformozilla.org/
* Daylight saving:
+ coming up to daylight saving time - US out of sync. for 1 week
+ Oct 28th - clocks change;
+ move the meeting to 15:00 UTC next week
* QA update (Joel / Bjoern)
+ ideas under discussion for localising the BSA
+ getting localised bugs to the local mailing list
so they can be de-duplicated
+ to encourage French + Brazilian users
+ why just English (Lionel)
+ confusion around hard-hacks
* Hard Hacks:
+ http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/HardHacks
+ fdo#48569 - crash in .docx saving thanks to Caolan.

(dtardon)
+ more progress thanks to David.
+ fdo#55570 - significant autocorrect slow-down (Stephan)
+ fdo#56291 - saving spreadsheets with passwd looses content (Markus)
