+ Results from deprecated features survey published
  + 
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2017/06/28/results-survey-libreoffice-features/
  + Interesting comments on the blog and at G+ 
(https://plus.google.com/107566594492891737454/posts/KSLmxKCT97M?cfem=1)
    challenging the survey itself but also with the explanation that 
function
    is not clear (checkbox → radio button)
  + should have added question about OS being used

+ Mascot competition has been started
  + 
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2017/06/28/competition-libreoffice-mascot/
  + lot of feedback and pingbacks

+ Planning a survey about LibO future, what soft aspects are important
  + based on / comparable with Github http://opensourcesurvey.org/2017/
  + input needed on what would be interesting to know in addition

* Crash Testing (Michael S)

* Berlin German community meeting (Thorsten)
    + This weekend of June 23 → 25 – Friday → Sun.
    + Hamburg meeting on Friday as a warm-up
    + Berlin:
         + Thorsten, Eike, Heiko, Bjoern, Cloph … have been there
         + Discussions e.g. of opportunities in education
         + also: workflows in the LibreOffice community (channels, 
sources and
           sinks of work items etc. => the project pipeline)
         + in general quite positive
    + Dev representative in UX meetings? (Eike)
         + anybody to step up?
         + summarize merged UX changes, were there dev comments on 
gerrit sidestepped etc. (Bjoern)
         + Kendy used to be there (Michael M)
         + Calls: Thursday 1PM Berlin time
     + Idea to have Mike/marketing in this call? (Björn)
         + very distant subprojects (different channels etc.)
         + not really directly for external product marketing, rather 
for internal project marketing/onboarding/recruitment
     + Hard to track changes going in for non fulltime devs (Björn)
         + somebody to summarize the commits going in?
         + would that actually be useful? (Michael S)
         + Stephan not eager to do such weekly summaries
         + Mentoring person to come up with that?
         + Good idea, but unclear who’s going to do it. (Michael M)
