    + getting into the start menu a 'get involved' button

* Distro branches & commits (Michael)

      so everyone's product is in git.
    + have to work on a quilt patch queue (Bjoern)
       + has a script to do this to/fro.

           + half of the patches are Debian pkging specific.
    + relatively few patches (Caolan)

       + can have a group in gerrit for a specific branch ? (Norbert)
       + already have the distro top-level distro/ ...
    + expect normally people to have commit access, but for special

* Crashtest update (Markus)
      http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/crashtest/91821848a3a50229b8b96e91e9eb053a8ebc5d9a/
      + calc seems reasonably good still,
      + writer has some issues & validation bits around DOCX etc.
         + around 75%+ invalid currently.
         + worth noting validation is vs. strict (Miklos)
            + we export transitional etc.
         + some elements written twice, and ordering issues.
 
* Certification Committee (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy)
 
* C++11 for 4.4 ? (Stephan)
 
    * Decided that 4.3 is the last version for OSX 10.6
        + would love to drop 10.7 too (Norbert)
        + PPC is currently a volunteer effort, publishing builds.
           + is there any 32bit only hardware (Michael)
             + yes, but not supported by Apple for a while (Norbert)
           + good to quantify the size of that pool (Michael)
             + 10.8 & 10.9 -> 80% of the market today.
        + we have only one 10.6 build box today ...
    * Also concerned wrt. Linux / CentOS builds
        + do we want to bundle libstdc++ again ?
        + or can we pull up the Linux baseline ?
           + makes sense to have RHEL6 as the baseline (Michael S)
               + gcc doesn't support it there, but gets rid of KDE3
                 and allows KDE4 enabling
    * Decision is to punt to the future post 4.3 etc.
