+ have a list of people <-> bugs to process.
+ come up with a proposal for UNO breakage / ns timestamps (Stephan,
Michael S, Lionel)
+ punt to next time
+ setup LibreOffice 4.1 schedule in the wiki (Petr)

+ work on mail to encourage them to get certified (Kendy/Stephan/Bjoern)
+ [ in progess ]

+ no submodules by default, no gnome-vfs
+ persuade Thorsten of final MSI / pkg naming / resting place (Kendy)
+ update the 4.0 release notes wiki page to explain DocumentInfo
(Michael S)
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.0#Extensions_.2F_API_changes
+ kill legacy stlport packaging (Stephan)
* Release Engineering update (Petr)
+ 4.0 timeline:
+ Monday is the deadline for Beta2
+ ideally the last deadline for delayed features
+ still no double etc. review needed until we get to RC1
+ 3.6.4 retrospective
+ a good release, needed an rc3 only down to a minor slip
+ please don't forget to cherry-pick fixes from master -> 4.0 -> 3.6
+ 3.6.5 - in January 14th
+ completing generic / Linux builds -> RedHat (Caolan)
AI: + mail details on signing etc. to Caolan (Fridrich)
+ fdo#58165 - drop stdlibs foo
* UX input (Astron)
+ testing the Android remote
+ issues getting it connected, Android 2.3 + openSUSE
AI: + interactive debugging on IRC (Thorsten)
+ question from Mirek - someone to look into
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46517
+ full-word selection / editing ergonomics cf. UX-advise
+ template manager design concerns (Cedric)
+ ongoing discussion for 4.0
+ old design file->templates->organise, new->templates &
documents
+ new template manager replaces the latter, needs work
to replace the 'organise' function; seems similar but
really isn't.
+ missing fn is importing styles into documents.
+ at least the common UI is much improved.
* un-publishing DataPilot APIs (Kohei)
+ struggled to remove bits from types.rdb
+ done - thanks to Michael S.
* gnome-vfs / dependencies issues (Bjoern)
+ if adding libbonobo is the solution then we have the wrong problem
+ causing crash-on-starts etc. - bin it for gio ...
+ we need to get rid of gnome-vfs in our downloadable build
+ no gio in RHEL5 base-line ...
+ punt till next time - Fridrich input required.
+ could potentially build with newer glib
+ new dbus menu bits conditional on gio (Bjoern)
* bibisect build / brokenness (Bjoern)
+ 262 builds in a single bibisect repo 4GB small ...
+ poor download speed: 100k/sec (Joel)
+ bibisect could be improved to avoid compiling the center
of back-to-back checkouts
+ some 1/4 of random checkouts don't build successfully
* Disabling Office 95 export filters (Brian Q)
+ disable word 6 export ? (Caolan)
+ why are people even selecting that ?
+ decided: disable it for now, leave code in in case of
screaming for a release or so (agreed)
* Certification Committee update (Kendy/Stephan/Bjoern)
+ ongoing work as above.
* Features - please update:
+ http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.0
+ with screenshots / feature details ...
AI: + add impress remote shots (Thorsten)
* 4.0 completed tasks:
+ un-publishing of data-pilot interfaces (Kohei)
+ liblangtag - fixed wrapper to not require loading until started (Eike)
* 4.0 pending tasks
+ binfilter:
+ warn on legacy file-types with helpful dialog (needs owner)
+ drop Mozilla mess in the tree:
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56902
+ lots of cleanup in configure
+ remove Accessibility API use / sample from odk (Thorsten)
+ MSI file re-name to be renamed for 4.0 LibreOffice
+ also rename the Linux download tar-balls (Fridrich)
+ and Mac packages.
+ causes some pain for download scripts (Thorsten)
+ getting installer up on download list, other
shuffling is painful
+ LibO not a great truncation - branding-wise.
+ persuade Thorsten of final resting place goodness (Kendy)
+ user migration path thought / testing (Stephan)
+ seems to work nicely; modulo re-enabling of explicitly
disabled extensions post migration
+ if it is not going to work it'll be disabled again during
registration.
+ still issue with 'MIGRATED' flag, esp. on Windows + Mac
AI: + need to rename the MIGRATED flag and unwind re-migration
(Michael)
+ disable legacy stlport packaging for Linux + Mac (Stephan)
* Proposed easy-hacks -> Easy Hacks (Joel)
+ developers need to decide what to do next
+ punting for a month ?
+ re-visit finding devs to build code-pointers for these:

* Hard Hacks:
+ http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/HardHacks
+ mostly suspended until post 4.0 release.
* QA update (Joel)
+ include Android Remote in QA / testing day
+ PC World article had a write-up about test-week:
https://www.pcworld.com/article/2019594/help-improve-libreoffice-4-0-in-a-test-marathon-this-month.html
+ working on improving the wiki for the test-week
+ QA call tomorrow
+ more people showing up in IRC to help out
+ focused on getting test systems setup
+ a lot of stuff on fdo - lots of extremely technical bugs vs. 4.0
+ query 'UNCONFIRMED' vs. 4.0/4.0alpha/4.0beta
+ Joel's favorite bug of the week:
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57953
** Requests for specific areas for QA appreciated **
** Wanted: Hackers/Helpers to hang out in #libreoffice-qa over the week
**
+ please identify yourself in:

* regressions spike explanation ? (Michael S)
+ UI of BSA - uses unfortunate terms - users specify
their problem used to work in a previous version
+ what they mean is used it for actual work / or ambiguous
formulation
+ writer: removed 'regression' from 8-10 bugs, filed by BSA,
more or less obviously not regressions.
+ quick sanity check: version reported == last-known-working version
+ these are clearly nonsensical / not-regressions
AI: + can we elide 'regression' from those in the BSA (Rob S?)
+ lots of users: updating their versions to latest
+ user expectation is that versions bump forwards
+ first version tested against ...
+ discuss it at QA call.
AI: + can BSA add the version to the comment as well (Rob S?)
+ to avoid users double submitting that.
