+ provide information for cloph on what the large Help change is (Bubli)
+ need a diff of the kind of string change, so Cloph can write a script.
[ outcome in IRC – will be postponed; packaging of help-packs also
changes → should not be part of 5.3 (Cloph, Olivier, Bubli) ]
* Pending Action Items:

[ expected to be fixed (Thorsten) ]
+ poke Florian to encourage posting of Macs (Cloph)
* Release Engineering update (Christian)
+ 5.3.0 B2 on mirrors & available for download
+ 5.3.0 RC1 – next week – and string freeze too ...

+ tag will be done on Wed. evening to match pootle.
+ Late features:
+ separating images and icons for help modules (Olivier, Bubli)
→ abandoned for 5.3.
+ Android & iOS Remote (Cloph)
+ master is green now.
+ will prepare a new build based on the branch-off tag
+ online (Michael)
+ branched for -5-3 ... will create source tarballs.
+ 5.2.4 RC2 (janI)
+ sources uploaded, but build problem with 32bit Linux
+ with a BadAlloc / MESA / EGL bits for master ?
+ trying to build RC1 on the same machine to check.
+ if so - suggest postponing 1 week to avoid RC3
* Documentation (Olivier)
+ Next: Will test screenshots make enabled by bubli
( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Screenshots )
+ will screenshots have operating-system information ?
+ under discussion
+ continuing to test screenshots.
+ on Mac screenshots are reversed (Bubli)
+ but has no mac.
+ happy to test things on a Mac (JanI)
+ rendering to VirtualDevice (Thorsten)

+ Tooltips (tdf#104413)
+ have ‘simple’ tooltips for all controls by default?
Additionally to extended tt with help installed
+ pro: support for beginners, good ux, postive a11y side effect
+ con: huge overhead to enter good tips and to translate
+ terrible startup performance problems from XPATH nonsense (?)
+ Markus had a prototype to extract & mirror these tooltips (Kendy)
+ with plan to keep XHP as help files; consider it again.
+ should we add a tooltip on an individual item ?
+ good usability to have tooltips consistently everywhere
+ student hasn’t finished the help on this topic.
+ happy to add simple tooltips to .ui files (Sophie)
+ adding five word tooltips to everywhere is ok with translators
+ there are 111k labels on widgets in .ui files (Michael)
$ git ls-files | grep '\.ui' | xargs cat | grep label | grep -v 'gtk-' | nl
+ 500k new words, 100 langs -> 50Mb of extra install
AI: + come up with a clear proposal with input from l10n (Sophie, Heiko)
+ best to apply some common sense wrt. Every control
having a tooltip (Cloph, Sophie)
+ Improve dialogs for gtk3 (tdf#103225)
+ http://i.imgur.com/PmCHOzv.png (gtk3)
+ controls are really huge; needs a new design so things fit.
+ most users are on Windows with lots of whitespace
making the layout unpleasant so better optimize for those
+ optimize for gtk3 or windows.
+ worst case – gtk3 users unable to use dialog (Bubli)
+ screenshot is a compromize, un-merged improvement
+ only v. large widget is the spin-button (Caolan)
+ this one looks particularly poor.
+ lots of wasted grey-space in bottom right (Michael)
+ too much white-space in current layout.
+ modal dialogs should not be re-sizable (Heiko)
+ decided in the ESC or in design team, somewhere.
+ now complaining there is no space ? (Michael)
+ example from daily build http://imgur.com/SAe5aox
+ windows: https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=128580
+ prefer to have the dialogs re-arranged (Thorsten)
+ lots of developers use Linux etc.
+ unclear why it is gtk ? (Caolan)
+ similar issue with Mac with slidey check-boxes(Michael)
=> re-arrange the dialogs in the UI file.
+ Color palettes
+ freeColor-HLC pallete compromise (Michael)
+ Christophe accepted that we can distribute it under MPLv2, if
TDF and/or ESC commits to distributing it un-modified.
+ distributing it as TDF un-modified
+ suspect 1% of users will use this palette (Heiko)
+ like the proceedure of the organization.
+ similar files around – eg. custom-shape / interop import bits (Michael)
+ add a comment to the file saying: “this is a generated file, please don’t change”
(Miklos, Heiko)
+ no concerns about new policy here (Thorsten)
+ common sense – we don’t want to break interop.
+ if we adhere to other standards we don’t break them (Stephan)
=> we treat this palette as an interop. specification, and TDF ships
it un-modified under the MPLv2.
+ Blog post draft
+ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1faOPqiJFmaj_9HJJqJKnEMg8biQj1bBEyOoTs5k3qes
+ Remaining change is an update of the standard.soc (tdf#87538)
+ does anyone disagree ? → no.
* XHP should it die ?
+ heard that XHP must die → become HTML (Bubli)
+ the original proposal for the BOD, no feedback on it (Olivier)
+ first time heard this (Michael, Kendy)
+ ESC decides this, drafted a tender for it (Olivier)
+ concerning (Kendy)
+ advantage of XHP – no translator effect.
+ write once and re-use in other pieces of the help.
+ example of extended tooltips – now they are part of this.
+ consider moving to HTML-only as the source, but may lose some semantics.
+ same reason why we abandoned wikihelp.
+ XHTML is a good thing we can use CSS etc. (Miklos)
+ can have standard tags etc.
+ extended tips – there is a field in the .UI format (Caolan)
+ hoped to extract from help & populate the a11y fields here to
improve a11y; the accessible_label field.
+ essentially the same information from extended tips.
+ there’s something to say in favour of having help contents close to each other, i.e.
locality of reference for translators (Thorsten)
+ we could split out the tags from XHP, Markus has scripts
to do this; but avoiding translator annoyance from changes.
AI: + re-visit the proposal with Caolan and/or Kendy and/or Sophie (Olivier)
+ include extended tooltips, a11y improvements etc.
* Crashtest update (Caolan)
+ ? import failure, ? export failures
+ Caolan fixed one, Michael S fixed one
+ ?? coverity.
+ partial build triggered bogus data.
+ new results due in a few hours.
+ Google / ossfuzz
+ one of the fixes we need up-streamed
+ working through a fully static build
+ re-using the Android stuff & fighting the code-generator
+ may have to come up with more cunning stuff.
+ think we can use the H/W – may need to change config to be a flat file-system
* TDF / Budgeting / Brainstorming (Thorsten)
+ Ideas here:
+ need approximate costs & clear descriptions:
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Budget2017
+ missing clear descriptions:
+ 32bit icon creation (Heiko)
+ Accessibility improvements (Bubli / Michael)
+ User Metrics - would like real user data (Heiko)
+ HSQLDB binary format migration (Michael)
+ Improved scripting debugging (Michael)
+ finish the API discovery/self-documentation by Bjoern
(done, renamed “… XserviceDocumenter …”)
+ SmartArt - missing feature (Michael)
+ Better integration of extensions (Heiko)
+ Design-team page of topics for GSOC (Heiko)
+ Ranking Spreadsheet in ESC folder on Online server.
+ integers range 1-100 for each; 100 == top.
+ finished by Wed morning / Thur next week ?
* Hackfests (Bjoern)
+ next venues / suggestions
+ 33c3 CfP open (Bjoern):
+
https://events.ccc.de/2016/09/01/call-for-participation-33rd-chaos-communication-congress-en/
+ FSFE will be there, we can meet up with them.
+ FOSDEM - confirmed dev-room (Michael)
+ 3rd Feb 2017 - board (+MC) meetings.
+ 4th/5th Feb 2017 - core FOSDEM dates
