* OOXML Strict namespaces (Markus)
    + import issues caused by namespace handling bits
    + most of the import issues solved now
        + Calc works mostly fine now
        + Miklos will have a look at Writer
    + export
        + would be good to get rid of the URL handling
        + and only use tokens
            + URLs to be moved to a shared code
            + not to be done soon
 
* Crashtest update (Markus)
    + no new crash-test / data etc.

    + we have incomplete result - 16k docs
        + http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/crashtest/2f4db1cf6eaf28fc5907dca4870368ea4b67fbc0/
 
* Certification update (Kendy/Bjoern/Stephan)
    + we should start a new round; need to run the script etc.
 
* sal ABI & mem / align fix back-port (Kohei)
    + Kohei found a solution without sal patch
    + we want a stable ABI that is forward moving (Stephan)
       + in this case, we could add these symbols.
       + but we want a linear ordering of increase in section
         numbering and consistency.
       + don't want to increase maintenance cost by un-necessarily
         increasing it; worth thinking twice before adding stuff.
    + but sensible change always possible, of course.
 
* https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70422 (Kendy)
    + Easy Hack to move huge amount of files in Writer
    + we've got a patch for that in gerrit, but I think this shouldn't be handled via gerrit
        + error prone - this should be an atomic git mv
    + and do we want / need to do this at all?
    + confusion wrt. what belongs to ui part, what to core (Miklos)
    + include files have moved, and no problem for cherry-picking (Caolan)
    + Kendy to CC Miklos in the gerrit to have a look / do it
 
* Gran Canaria hack-fest (Bjoern)
