* Crashtest update (Caolan)
    + 0 import failure, 136 export failures
       + export issues – prolly all the same one.
    + 8 coverity issues.
    + Google / ossfuzz
       + got integrated just for the meta-file format
       + getting a bug an hour or so.
       + seeded with a scraped bugzilla corpus from bugzilla
       + 90 day disclosure of the issues ...

* Private legacy DLP bug documents (Michael)
    + have some already for the crash-testing (Markus)
        + some old SUSE bugzilla & cached CloudOn & Caolan collection.
        + not public even for most developers; on gimli.
        => until they fail crash-testing people don’t get access to them.
    + difference between canary & active bug (Norbert)
         + can of worms with private bugs.
    + limit to BZ registered users ? (Heiko)
         + effectively public.
    + proposal: person who wants to solve the bug gets access (JanI)
    + reluctant to open can of worms (Thorsten)
         + don’t like an inner circle.
    + is it possible for repos that only committers can clone ? (Michael)
         + don’t like it – creates barriers (Thorsten)
             + lets not bless this into a full-blown process.
         + trust vs. capability to commit – different issues
    + concern that not privacy if all committers can see anyway (Norbert)
    => propose link documents elsewhere (as now)

* Easy IDE integration bits (JanI)
        + Document distributed to ESC mailing list
        + Lots of good comments received
        + next step, update document, incl. Priority, plan and who
      + 80% can be done/mentored by janI, with question/answer
        help from Bjoern/Moggi
            + need 2 students with time, to implement
      + proposal – discuss in January again.
AI:   + produce a trend / graph of last year’s work (JanI)
      + do we need to improve things ?
          + GUI bits for wikipedia didn’t help (Norbert)
      + suggest 1st step: (Markus)
          + test-ability & CI instability big issues
          + test fail pwrt. OpenCL, or CI fails.
              + worth telling them its not their fault.
          + discuss whether IDE is helpful after removing that.
      + CI stats > 50% of gerrit / Windows failed (Norbert)
          + people ignoring windows failure anyway
      => disable the OpenCL test now → move it to subsequentcheck
      + we have 1-2 tests that are more unreliable (Markus)
          + more of an issue since enabled subsequentcheck
          + more UNO/API test issues.
          + windows hangs → predominantly test/UNO (Norbert)
          + very hard to tell without debugging (Stephan)
              + local windows builds make check fine
              + known issue - toolbarmanager, accessibility writer
          + becomes a cultural problem; ignore Java test fails (Markus)
              + can we disable them in CI ? (Michael)
              + debugging is hard (Norbert)
                 + have to disable modal dialogs that block machines
                 + can’t do debugging then; needs to fail on its own.
          + can we disable them ? (Michael)
               + idea to enable is to test more (Markus)
          + would really like test framework to be resilient (Norbert)
               + can we detect deadlock / hanging and get a trace ?
               + doesn’t work (Stephan)
                    + can’t get enough information in a trace.
                    + need access to that machine.
                    + have a sol’n – have a VM:
                        + if it deadlocks pull it out & pass it to a dev
          + currently not running in a VM / on raw iron (Norbert)

* TDF / Budgeting / Brainstorming (Thorsten)
    + Ideas here:
        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Budget2017
      + Ranking Spreadsheet in ESC folder on Online server.
         + integers range 1-100 for each; 100 == top.
        + late; finished by when ? ...
