* Release Engineering update (Christian)
    + 5.2.7 RC1 status
        + test failures, didn’t get a build that make-check worked for 1st time.
        + running checks manually – they pass.
        + issues with build parallelism here.
        + sometimes complex test or XStyleLoader2 test – only on Windows.
        + tried 4-5 times, not working – for complete check
            + is it upgrading the compiler ? (Thorsten)
                + random toolchain timing symptom (Michael)
            + random windows updates too – what changed ? (Cloph)

          alpha still from master , libreoffice-5-4 tag along with feature-freeze
        + translation problems
            + cleanup & re-shuffling in the src files
                + that changed lots of message contexts.
            + around 20k words to translate → thye’re not happy.
                + now down to 1500 – 2000 words; still some left.
                + improving quickly.
    + Android & iOS Remote
        + some patches need review, and some integrated.

     + Zarro unconfirmed documentation bugs
         + thanks to Xisco mailing him the doc. bugs quickly.

     + Fixes in help contents after translators
     + Tests LOOL to evaluate use for collaborative content insertion
       for Guides, encouraging results with track changes,

        + have to download / edit / up-load cycle currently – which is a pain.
     + use the current site – with latest master/online builds.
        + testing some issues; been reported & fixed by Pranav
        + poking at two users – to see how they interfere – v. optimistic.

* Commit Access

* Developer Certification (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy/Thorsten)
    + 2 week sleep.

* Jenkins / CI update (Norbert)

* l10n (Sophie)
    + tons of english function names used internally have been
      erroneously flagged as being translatable by one of the
      source-restructuring commits.
         + horrible.
         + want Cloph’s time to script this out.
    + ~25k new/untranslated words due to changing the way strings
      are referred to like in this commit:
 https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/commit/2c91fc19445bb503652e97cc8b9f9014db436c37

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b127134103e0fcf8b415f53eebed0b5180d782e3 

    + translators should not be impacted by this, they have already done their          translation 
work
    + l10n team and Cloph have to be aware of these changes asap
      in order for Cloph either to have time to script them or find help
    + currently working hard on fixing it (Cloph)
        + better for German & French now.
        + once they are sorted will run for all languages.
        + would have been best to get master done at 5.3.1 stage.
           + an artifact of having had pootle off-site.
        + an issue for 5.4 only
           + urgent need to fix it, but doesn’t impact 5.3 or before.
        + expect to be back to normal for UI next week for sure.
           + last 2k words / 400 strings to go
           + next week: help project.
