   * AppImage - Linux portable edition (Yousuf)
      + Bug report - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97269
      + moggi said on infra IRC that the decision should likely be talked here
      + would like to setup a download page - http://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/
      + appimages can be created by repacking existing builds
         + daily build example - 
https://github.com/AppImage/AppImages/blob/master/recipes/libreoffice/Recipe
         + Antonio Faccioli‏ is creating scripts for language bundles similar to the windows 
portable editions
           http://www.libreoffice.org/download/portable-versions/
      + unclear what the future holds here: Snap, FlatPack, AppImage (Michael)
      + no real need for Linux portable edition (Cloph)
         + tar-ball can be unzipped.
      + some people may want it do why not ? (Heiko)
         + up-loading takes time, maintenance etc. (Cloph)
         + if 2 people use it – build it themselves pwrt. daily builds.
      + how is flat-pack hosted currently ? (Michael)
         + build & up-load, and cloph pushes it (Stephan)
             + whenever there is a 5.3.x it is build – following Fresh.
             + no daily build.
      + the request is “become a linux distribution” (Michael)
        + flat-pack doesn’t include the GNOME run-time (Stephan)
        + AppImage sounds like it will include ~everything:
          Gstreamer + all codecs etc. - from some random PC (Michael)
           + can Jay distribute it instead ?
           + how large is it ?
           + AppImage works hard to solve a problem we already solved:
             of being an ISV on Linux – it is hard but solveable.
      + Sad to miss jphilips in the discussion; do it again later ?

  + Discussion about line spacing
    + Patch from Khaled https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/31053/
      aiming to standardize calculation
    + Considered as regression in document line spacing (tdf#105860,
      tdf#104932) and UI line spacing (tdf#107249)
      + line spacing - https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=131016
      + UI line spacing - https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=132669
    + Keep the patch and take backward incompatibility into account ?
    + UI: don’t care (Michael)
    + Documents → matter a lot – but …
      + currently was inconsistent cross-platforms.
      + new behaviour is more interoperable (Miklos)
      + what does backwards-compat mean wrt. An
        inconsistent previous state ? (Michael)
      + outside writer lack of compat-flags (Miklos)
      => defer until Xisco shows up with another view.

* Proposals for 5.4 deprecated section (Eike)
    + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Proposals_for_removing_features 
    + finding volunteers to:
       + Writer/Web
           => removing the UI parts to enable it making it hard to find,
              while making it easy to turn off …
           + not a lot of bugs specifically about this (Michael S)
           + who was it that wanted to get rid of it ? (Michael)
              + not me, had to fix bugs around this in online for customers (Kendy)
           + help-authoring uses the same web-view (Heiko)
              + prefer to get rid of features if we can.
          + Eager to make it harder to find (Armin)
          => wait for someone to be interested in doing it.

          + done quickly on G+ / English – have in a week (Heiko)
             + with 100 replies.
             + if localize it – maybe get more replies
             + if we want comments – analysis creates trouble.
               → so don’t do that.
          + should we localize the survey ? Could be done quickly.
AI:          + Build translations for survey (Sophie, Heiko)
               + as soon as it is translated – run it.
    + post-poll results:
       + drop Impress Flash export filter for 6.0 if not used.
    + un-decided:
       + Whatever it is that uses the sfx2/emojiconfig/emoji.json thing
