Re: [libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2023-Feb-15

Hi Eyal,

the meeting agenda is always announced in advance. This time it was on Wednesday 
what I assume to be possible for you. You could have sent a notice to postpone a 
topic.
Flagging tickets as to-be-discussed sounds easy but adds noise to the report and 
wouldn't solve your problem.
For the two topics from yesterday I think one was unanimously resolved/NAB and 
the other considered to not benefit the modification. Please don't understand 
input from UX as a gatekeeper to the development, you are free to reopen tickets 
and seek for response from other people.
Cheers,
Heiko
