* Release Engineering update (Christian)
    + 4.2.5 RC2 deadline is next Monday
        + 7x patches queued in gerrit.
    + 4.3.0 Beta 2 status
        + delays around translation, lots of problems with context, not
          strings themselves: now fixed.
        + builds currently being pushed to mirrors; for public this
          evening / tomorrow.
    + 4.3.0 UI and string freeze: week after next - branch for first RC.
    + Android / iOS remote
        + will build a new version with buttons to start/exit remote
          ptr. feature.
        + builds pushed just now for the new version; and available.
 
    + Late features ?
            + libreofficekit bits / rename etc. (blocking on Michael)
            + OpenGL pieces / status
               + impress work as well ?

    + http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt
    + awaiting patch, lower priority - release on normal 4.2.5 cadence
    + should we disable heartbeat completely ? (Bjoern)
        + we don't really need it.
AI:     + merge existing Fedora patches (Caolan)
 
* allow upgrade of access2base (Lionel?)
    * no - Lionel, no discussion / decision.
 
    + access2base now included in LibreOffice 4.2 and later
    + technical structure: one Basic library (and that's it)
    + for other branches (other forks of OO.org & LibreOffice 4.1 and earlier),
      available as extension
    + competitive "disadvantage": users of other branches
      can have newer access2base faster (install extension)
    + not possible for LibO 4.2 & later because extension not allowed
      to override part of LibreOffice (only other extension)
       + policy exception for access2base can have new features within stable line?
          + I don't like that
       + allow extensions to override any part of LibreOffice?
          + no, significant resistance
       + allow extensions to override any *script* or *dialog* library from LibreOffice?
       + allow extensions to override any *Basic* or *dialog* library from LibreOffice?
       + allow extensions to override any *Basic* (not *dialog*) library from LibreOffice?
          + rationale: AFAIK, we don't ship any wizard / conversion / ... code as Basic, only 
examples
          + needs to be validated by domain expert
       + allow extensions to override only access2base?
       + demote access2base to bundled extension?
          + makes Acces2Base much less "official" in LibreOffice :-(
            (also more work)
 
* UX Update (Astron)
    + a few UX advise bugs getting discussed.
    + colour of non-printing characters ...
      + customizable or not ?
 
* Crashtest update (Markus)
      + new result including writer/impress/draw
      http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/crashtest/7c8b2f10310f0f64b111afb3012e82e9c4a690ac/
         + ignore the calc results, silly one writing invalid files.
      + new control script: looks quite nice alreay.
         + 25k files processed or so.
      + written a script to analyse the results:
         + will provide historic data for the results
      + currently running the whole test document set under memcheck on a server
        kindly provided by the City of Largo,
         + four or so serious issues fixed by Michael / Markus.
         + got through 12k (of 45k) or so documents at random.
      + kill the script tomorrow, re-build & run against a current master
        to avoid too many duplicates etc.
         + volunteers that like valgrind bug reports appreciated.
 
* Certification Committee (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy)
     + will wait for the next scan until ~September.
 
* Merging disruptive changes (Caolan)
     + should do in a branch, and merge fixes later.
 
* Hackfests (Bjoern)
    + Paris Hackfest:
        + June 27-28th
        + please add yourself to the wiki:
            + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Paris2014
    + new candidate - Tolouse ...
        + hope to have a November/December hack-fest there.
 
* QA (Robinson)
    + Bug Hunting Session for 4.3 went well
        + Seeing some new contributors in #libreoffice-qa
    + Even more bibisected regressions this week (64 -> 81)
      
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&query_format=advanced&status_whiteboard=bibisected&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&order=changeddate%20DESC%2Cop_sys%2Cbug_status%2Cpriority%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_id&list_id=426069
        + waiting for developer attention ...
        + anything can be done to make them more palateable would be helpful.
           + ideally pruning the problem down to a single-commit (Michael)
               + beyond skills of some QA members.
        + few new people in QA doing bisection to a single commit (Bjoern)
           + please encourage them ! or at least don't discourage them.
    + Unconfirmed count: down to 1100 or so.
        + Joel targetting 500 over the summer; we'll see.
    + closed out a number of un-responded-to NEEDINFO bugs.
    + Needadvice:
        + please keep track if you've tagged them; good to CC people on those.
    + buzilla migration (Norbert)
        + when its good enough will go back to Tollef for a real date.
             [ Norbert still crushed by a work cycle ]
        + need to get bugzilla migration bits under gerrit so we can get patches.
            + QA team eager to help out.
