minutes of ESC call ...

* Present:
    + Robinson, Jan-Marek, Sophie, Miklos, Andras, Kendy, Stephan, Eike,
      Christian, Muthu, Caolan, Michael M, Bjoern (last 5 minutes)
 
* Completed Action Items:
    + send welcome mail to Justin Luth (Miklos)
            + poke gerrit for him (Michael)
    + have a look at the CppUnit to implement 'expected failure' (Jan-Marek)
        [ Not much to do here. CPPUNIT_TEST_FAIL is already there.
          http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2015-October/070497.html
          Accounting of XFAIL and XPASS seems to be tricky with the current implementation,
          if we really want it. ]
 
* Pending Action Items:
    + please check if you're listed in the mentoring page (All)
        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Mentors
    + UserAgent - drop bundled-languages (Michael)
    + UserAgent - produce a patch for review (Michael)
    + ask students to write their own wrap-ups to aggregate (Cedric)
    + write a nice blog entry about 1000's bibisect - including flowers (Robinson)
        [ half way done, planned today ].
    + reach-out to Beta Co-working guy to book post-FOSDEM hackfest (Bjoern)
 
* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
    + 4.4.6 - RC2 status
        + due next week.
    + 5.0.3 - RC1 status
        + tagged and released for most platforms
            + up-loaded & ready for testing.
        + found a nasty OpenGL perf. issue (Michael)
    + 5.1.0 Alpha - week after next, code freeze mid. Nov.
        + tagging for 5.1 due next week.
    + Android & iOS Remote
        + Google-play dropped the 50Mb limit for APKs.
            + expecting another update in the play store.
 
* UX Update (Kendy)
    + discussing whether to remove industrial from git repo.
      or at least the unused icons; so far leave it there.
        + perhaps used for 'Human' - unclear.
    + 'Dark' themes discussed -> hicontrast etc.
        + Tomaz came up with a high-contrastifying algorithm
          for existing themes -> will save space.
    + start-center changes
        + rename the remote-files button, stay separate.
    + would like a dedicated design / UX blog
        + Jay filing a redmine ticket ( https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/1505 ) -> no 
problem (Cloph)
 
* Documentation (Kendy)
    + new release of help authoring ext'n on Monday
        + again more fixes; more reliable, better help output etc.
    + still would like to have on-line editable help.
        + Jay had some idea of not editable wiki necessarily ?
        + editing on top of XHP files ?
        + if we find some volunteers - web development ?
           + LOOL in a bit ? (Michael)
               + hard part - git repo & auto-pushing (Kendy)
 
* Crashtest update (Caolán)
    + 5 import failures, 2 export failures, coverity unbuildable at the moment
    + refreshed input documents, 3 import failures are new documents
    + remaining import/export failures may be related to a recent regression
      of mine caught by sberg's ubsan build, rerunning crashtest to find out
    + more effective than fuzzing to rely on public bug reporting.
    + coverity - C++14 / constexpr stuff causing grief ?
        + poking the guys over there.
 
* File format fuzzing to drive UX testing (Caolan)
    + some awesome intelligent fuzzers, work through code branches
    + re-purposing file-filters to drive UI input; 10x key strokes already.
    + working prototype already.
    + can iterate through 1x second; its learned how to open dialogs, open menu-bar etc.
    + first let it put keystrokes in, found it could enter large numbers.
    + need to be able to reset it to the start to make it faster
    + some sandboxing work would be good.
    + working on optimizing it.
 
* Hackfests (Bjoern)
    + Hamburg, Germany: Oct 23rd -> 25th (Bubli)
        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Hamburg2015

        + perhaps again at Las Palmas (Thorsten)
 
* l10n Update (Sophie)
    + after the workshop - some workflow clarification
    + several pootle improvements proposed.
    + Nicholas created a tool for menu-accelerator duplicate detection.
    + will create a l10n channel on IRC and setup monthly meetings.
