* Present:
+ Kendy, Miklos, Xisco, Sophie, Caolan, Michael S, Michael M,
Olivier, Heiko, Christian, Jan-Marek
* Completed Action Items:
+ reach out to Zotero (Michael)
[ not obvious how to move ahead; technology & license (AGPL)
installed it (Heiko)
+ Java - 100Mb install, connectors to different apps
+ LibreOffice connector – as an extension ]
+ blog poll with ~50/50 acceptance to drop bibliography (Heiko)
[ some accept getting rid of it, others say minimum func.
makes sense for basic users without online connection.
Could do a GSOC project (Samuel volunteered) ]
* Pending Action Items:
+ work with Mert to build an android l10n plan (Christian)
[ didn’t connect with him yet ]
+ mail BoD wrt. MS store update (Christian)
+ add screenshot builder to basic build stats (Christian)
[ it fails with Japanese locale – but it’s not in the translation
can build with all of these – and build runs fine, but with just
ja it fails – needs further research ]
* Release Engineering update (Christian)
+ 6.1.4 RC2 status
+ 6.2 RC 1 status
+ ready for the bug hunting Friday tomorrow.
+ 6.2 RC 2 – due week 2 – Jan 17th
+ still require 1 review for libreoffice-6-2
+ libreoffice-6-2-0 after RC2.
+ Late Features
+ red-lining paragraph attribute re-work (Thorsten)
+ merged into master & 6.2 branch in time for RC1
+ except for document indexes – still being worked on
which should be finished by tomorrow.
+ is it enabled by default ? (Xisco)
+ yes enabled by default (Michael S)
+ Remotes
+ Android viewer
+ will provide a new version to the app store but no up-loaded yet.
+ Online
+ 6.2 rc1 source up-loaded.
* Documentation (Olivier)
+ New Help
+ Added <pycode> for proper rendering of python code (ohallot)
+ Work on online editor: render XHP page while editing (ohallot)
+ Help contents2
+ many fixes by translators (S. Horacek, Sabri Unai, ohallot)
+ miscellaneous fixes (erAck, ohallot)
+ additions and corrections for Basic and Python pages (libreofficiant)
+ Issue: How to add menus and toolbars for new UIs such as:
Notebook bar, simple bar, grouped bars, etc.
+ Huge work to describe UNO commands in new UIs.
+ each page describes where a tool is eg. “menu → format → character”
+ considering all the cmds in an interface – quite a lot of work.
+ also confusing to list several (Michael)
+ the resulting is the same but the way to get it different.
+ should be able to do it programatically from
.uno:Format to a path in the UI.
+ menu never changes (Heiko)
+ help on notebookbars – perhaps just drop that.
+ concerned about the workflow around notebookbar,
too many options in the UI – and not close to usability.
+ we have five variants of similar UIs – which goes in &
is documented ?
+ development of new ones is easy.
+ propose to ship 1, not an arbitrary number of them.
+ making it an extension kills it (Michael)
+ few people install them
+ why should that be ? (Heiko)
+ practically it is – fixing that is hard (Michael)
+ if we get XML somewhere – can get it on pages (Olivier)
+ right transformation to find the files & simplify docs here.
+ in the end it is all .uno:Foo commands (Kendy)
+ menu/toolbar/sidebar
AI: + send some quick code pointers to Olivier (Kendy)
+ Guides.
+ Updates ongoing on Calc guides

=> WF
* Make presentation layouts editable
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112002
=> NEW/in discussion
+ no proposal yet – but would like user defined layouts
for presentations – perhaps a GSOC topic.
* default padding around Images
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122063
+ good idea to have more than 0 around images.
* Compatibility mode setting for Justified text terminated with
linebreak (<shift>+<enter>)...
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121984
=> accepted
+ plan to change this option to be less like Microsoft
+ concerned if we move in a positive direction
compat wise (Miklos)
+ if it breaks interop. it should go off by default (Michael M, Miklos)
+ even if it looks pretty (sorry).
* Show index entries which are names as "<last name>, <first name>"
in alphabetical indexes
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122124
+ needs a new field / feature – perhaps GSOC project.
=> needsDevAdvice
* Update Liberation fonts from new source
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121676
=> Fixed with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/65297/ in 6.2 RC1

+ 8 (+0) coverity issues
+ one build went through (or so it claimed)
+ next build stuck in the queue there, 180+ ahead initially, now 170+
+ last 4 days queue got shorter but not much.
+ 17 Google / ossfuzz: 16 timeouts.
+ 1 serious, lots of timeout issues
+ perhaps reduce size of what is fuzzed up to 0.5Mb not 1Mb eg.
+ ForcePoint, round 9
+ two asserts/crashes on using crashtester over round 9
+ couple of other issues
+ two CVE issues in progress for Jan 2019

+ do another 100 paper cuts project ? (Heiko)
+ developers, QA, etc. listed – and student picked a few & solve.
+ not a great success.
+ not a full GSOC project – could be part of paper-cuts.
+ if say – we want to solve it: decide what procedue here.
