    + discussed Nantes data
    + std. color palette survey almost finished
    + a proposal to move away from system-theme compliant LibreOffice
        + moving to a default style and branding unique on each system
        + suspect controversial
        + following system useful for a11y and familiarity (Michael)
            + we put lots of code & hard work into that.
        + there are code-paths already to hack-on here (Kendy)
            + if you disable native theming: looks like Win95
            + option already exists there to improve this.
            + can easily see that with the “gen” backend on Linux (Jmux)
        + will fwd. Ticket to the ML to start a discussion (Heiko)
    + been at the open-source design group meeting
        + interest in the next-gen branding task.

* Crashtest update (Caolan)
    + 18 import failure, 1 export failures

    + 160 coverity issues
        + up-loads to coverity failing to transfer at the moment
    + Google / ossfuzz: 24 fuzzers active now
        + no new fuzzers, PPT one still generating interest.
        + will try to expand it to UI testing

* Lot of irritating missing parentheses (tdf#106529) (Bubli)
    + tdf#80731: missing closing parenthesis in Basic code treated as error
      since 5.4, 5.3 cherry-pick (silently ignored previously,
      inherited from OOo)
    + change now reverted for 5.3.3
    + extensions and macros fail, some extensions authors have been
      notified and fixed their code already
    + if installed system-wide i.e. macro is read-only, no way for the
      user to modify the code and recover
    + to revert (on master) or not to revert, that is the question.
    + revert if it breaks old documents (Miklos)
        + agreed (Stephan, Michael)
    + would be lovely to have warnings instead (Bubli)
        + no warnings in StarBasic (Stephan)
        + would be lovely to have a Basic console with these (Michael)
    + can’t use a version in doc. due to system installed macros (Michael M)
        + version only tells you last version that wrote (Michael S)
            + not the original creator version.

        + monthly now (Bubli)
        + April 20th the next one
    + Italian hack-fest coming up: 4 days May 27-30th
         + Perugia University
             + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Perugia2017
             + will sponsor accommodation/food for 4 core hacker – need names
             + first names to be added there win.
         + http://www.perugiaonline.com/reach_perugia_by_air.html says “The solution that we 
suggest to you to reach Perugia by air is to land to Rome and to continue for Perugia with bus” – 
is this really the best way? (Miklos)
             + plans to come, but travelling a whole day both ways is sub-optimal
             + would be good to share accommodation booking.
    + CeBit hackfest ? (Bjoern)
        + re-booting the show, want to host a hack-fest ?
        + perhaps the most expensive place to host anything (Thorsten)
            + with the worst connectivity.
        + would be for ~12 months anyway ? (Michael)
        + seems more like some enterprise / support sales event (Bjoern)

        + will be in Malaga for Open conference in May
            + http://www.opensouthcode.org/conference/opensouthcode2017

        + suggestions for bike-shedding topics to get people interesting
            + UX / Extensions ?
        + suggested dates in April 15th or 23rd German community coming up with that.
        + not nailed down yet
