      + Slide Master → Master Slide
          + concerned about the size of the change – help?; also MSO uses ‘slide 
            master’ (Kendy)
          + from l10n perspective, this is fine (Sophie)
            + 54 occurrences of “slide master” in helpcontent2 (Eike)
          + https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/40485/

      + https://plus.google.com/107566594492891737454/posts/Gv86jqr9qyf
      + poll started
      + would be good to spread it on the ML too – projects@ etc. (Xisco)
        /done (Heiko) 

    + Discussion about pivot tables
      + ‘refresh all’ requested but always up-to-date needed 
        or at least proper feedback if not
 
    + Planning a survey about what aspects are important for users
      + preview: https://survey.documentfoundation.org/783768
      + additionally asking about: other tools, how long being a user, 
        expertise, version, affiliation, TDF member, OS
      + what else?
      + suggestions so far: extensions, help, online/mobile versions
          + please have a look & if you want to add / remove questions, tell Heiko
          + to be finalized the next week
          + the idea is to have general questions, not “do you use pivot tables”
            or so.
