    + Kendy, Xisco, Heiko, Stephan, Christian, Michael M,
      Sophie, Michael S, Caolán, Mike Saunders, Olivier, Thorsten,
      Miklos, Eike, Shinnok

* Completed Action Items:
    + ship the horror win / VC runtime DLLs with the installer (Cloph)
        [ patch appears to work, but we already have them in the installer
          if you do an admin-install they are already installed.
          we ship them twice – once as LibreOffice, but once as a run-time module
          not entirely elegant.
          for 5.4 – merge it as-is, for 6.0 do something clever.

        ]
    + research the best way to build HTML help / documentation (Olivier)
        [ working actively on this (Olivier)
              expect to have a solution quite fast.
          WIP patch pushed to gerrit for core/ (Kendy)
              checks if HTML help is installed or not,
              will add opening of pages later
              https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/43963/ 
        ]

* Pending Action Items:
    + run dev certification script (Kendy/Thorsten)
        [ have one name without running the script ]
    + provide / check web-page on dev certification process (Kendy)
        [ poke Italo to find out what to check (Kendy) ]
    + find data for x86 / Linux downloads with view to removing for 6.0 (Cloph)
        [ have the data, not broken down yet: termbin.com/2jc2 ]
    + fwd build details on Mac / CVE build / test failure to the list (Shinnok)
        [ Bartoz removed obsolete, non LODE details from the wiki
          removed quick-setup and mac-ports setup, recommends to
          --disable-cve-tests on the Mac. 
          It works for me; what’s the issue (Stephan)
          re-send the mail to the list / Stephan (Shinnok) ]

* Release Engineering update (Christian)
    + 5.4.3 RC2
      https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/q/status:open+branch:libreoffice-5-4-3 
      10 patches waiting
        + plan to tag this evening
        + please help review things.
    + 5.3.7 RC2 released as final today
      Resolves: tdf#111428 implement CellStoreEvent::swap() in ScColumn::SwapCol()
      possible ugly bug – 5.3.8 ?
        + Eike found a nasty bug, is it enough to do a 5.3.8
        + can lead to non-re-calculated values; would be nice to fix in 5.3
        + do we need a new release ? (Michael)
            + fixed in released 5.4.3 bits
            + merge it to the -5-3 branch in case of new release ?
            + quite a specific scenario (Eike)
               + would like to get it out if we can.
            + fine to encourage people to use 5.4 (Cloph)
               + move people to 5.4 a bit earlier too perhaps.
    + 6.0 Alpha1
        + 6.0 feature freeze: week 47 (Nov 20th)
        + late features
            + HTML help pieces (Kendy)
           + GPG / Windows bits (Thorsten)
           + Calc threading review with Eike (Michael)
           + KDE5 – merge but perhaps not ready for 6.0 (Thorsten)
               + can’t build on baseline anyway (Michael S)
           + bundling GPG-4-Win – a 25Mb package for GPG
             encrypt/sign for Win? (Thorsten)
               + pointer for an extra download ?
               + License ? (Michael)
                   + mix of GPL/LGPL (Thorsten)
               + want access to encryption reasonably easily
                   + maintenance / security updates etc. an issue.
               + 10% increase – for perhaps minority benefit.
AI:            + mail the list (Thorsten)
           + Calc column span update from Noel (Michael)
        + Updating service – expected to miss 6.0 (Cloph)
    + Android
    + Online

* Documentation (Olivier)
    + Broke large script for new help into smaller pieces
        + aim to make easy for build and packaging integration
        + looking into how to hack a makefile
            + https://goo.gl/A8dGVf
    + resuming book editing with doc community for 6.0
        + cover of the book – is under discussion.

        + a bunch of technical things to investigate here.

* UX Update (Heiko)
    + Bugzilla (topicUI) statistics
        252(252) (topicUI) bugs open, 395(395) (needsUXEval) needs to be evaluated by the UXteam

    + new table styles tdf#101349 
      (works under Linux but not at Windows – build issue?)
        + replacement of the binary file → XML ideal.
        + TB42 builds – apparently no styles (?)
           + choose default table size carefully ? (Miklos)
           + one item that is different on 32bit / 64bit platforms (Michael S)
              + we have two of these files.
        + not a big deal to setup styles locally,
          switch local files → shared (Heiko)
AI:        + build new binary style file for 32bits (Heiko)
           + tested table styles on Linux (Xisco)
              + couldn’t see it – but Heiko does.
    + new templates tdf#103317 – 16x9 the new default here.
    + Discussion about 115% line spacing for Default
       + request to move to this – under discussion. 

* clang-format-ness (Miklos)
    + Came up with a prototype at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/43736/ 
    + got more input since last week: gerrit comments, ML posts
       + some are happy with git pre-commit approach
       + only way to enforce something
       + some people want to push it into gerrit/jenkins not locally
       + plan from DavidO on how this could be done in gerrit
       + style enforcement in different steps from Stephan
           + first - git-hooks, when clang-format is installed
           + second – jenkins-like auto-verification of style.
           + third – re-base button auto-fixes style in gerrit reviewer
    + question is who is interested in doing the work.
       + Miklos happy to do git-hook hacking
       + if people want features they are more than welcome to impl.
    + propose merge step#1 without clang-format enforced (Michael)
       + don’t like the auto-re-format of others’ commits (Stephan)
          + if want to have enforced – make sure all commits is formatted right
            or we get these issues.
       + we have a similar issue with warning fixings (Kendy)
          + starting with limited files.
       + concern that people wouldn’t install clang-format (Stephan)
          + if we have this merged with other stuff.
    + to what degree do we provision binaries ? (Michael)
       + builds on windows / linux / Mac (Miklos)
          + could add this in the hook ?
       + what do we do wrt. gerrit edits ? (Stephan)
          + very minority use-case (Michael)
          + one single place we check stuff going into Master (Thorsten)
             + gerrit is optional (Miklos)
                + you don’t have to go through it.
       + not eager to make the hooks more complex (Thorsten)
          + appreciate a move into the right direction, but …
       + getting somewhere we didn’t want to go (Kendy)
          + Rome: start small – with some few files.
          + enable just for a few files Miklos is responsible for
              + only for new files.
          + understanding from Rome (Stephan)
              + these test files don’t get a cleanup commit – where
                clang-format doesn’t need a follow-up commit.
          + very, very unlikely that 0.1% of web-edits convolve with this (Michael)
              + with the 1% of files that we cover with this..
       + getting this in optionally, and config in (Thorsten)
          + is quite valuable.
          + cases – where people push without git hooks setup at all.
             + true (Miklos)
    + thought only-new-files, Win, Mac binaries etc. was non-controversial (Miklos)
       + wait to find someone interested in the server-side hacking shows up.
    + propose to get the clang-format with it in as a hook on (Thorsten)
    + can we re-format only the changed lines ? (Michael)
       + tricky, and could go wrong (Miklos)
       + establish as a test-bed for the future for all files (Stephan)
          + no point in the experiment if we can’t make it 100%
       + we can generate data on how sensible if it works ? (Michael)
    + should we disable web-edit instead ? (Stephan)
        + web-edit has CI running make check (Miklos)
    + concern wrt. checking clang-config bits in (Stephan)
        + fear creation of cleanup commits from people that break history.
        + possibly too pessimistic.
    + with subset of files / script operates only on these files (Kendy)
    + in theory random people do random things (Thorsten)
    => merge step#1 and re-visit if we have problems in a week
        + as it is on gerrit, but do nothing if clang-format is not installed
        + ok with that (Thorsten, Stephan)
    + gerrit concern – if have no-one able to change it (Thorsten)
        + will have problems going forward, concern it bites us later.
        + longer discussion, trade-off via gerrit vs. not (Miklos)

* Crash Hunting (Caolan)
    + 0 import failures, 1 export failures (ODT export)
    + 8 coverity
    + 34 fuzzers, but now enabled ubsan so...
    + 34 fuzzers * 2 sanitizers (asan and ubsan) * 1 engine (libfuzzer)
      => fuzz-apocalypse 44 bugs on Tue+Wed
      => 7 today so far, hopefully tailing off
      + doubled the number of fuzzers we have active
      - xls now added, will run tomorrow I imagine
      + MS word format work is good.

    + new plan from Bjoern:
       + https://skyfromme.wordpress.com/2017/08/27/hackfests-the-next-generation/
         + good suggestions from Regina
    + Hamburg – 1st new-style hackfest
         + 9th-10th December possible, if it fits.
         + just after Beta2
         + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfests/HackfestTNG (Eike)

    + looks worse than they are
       + high failure rate of Mac compared to the rest
  + queue is quite large – a windows build ran out of disk
     + have brought it back.
     + expect the latency to improve

* l10n (Sophie)
    + work ongoing.
    + script / gettext migration (Cloph)
        + very picky wrt. Line-endings – build breaks hard
        + need to improve on the script to fix these too.
    + bit more work needed on getting export automated.
    + more work than needed (Sophie)
        + more for Cloph – checking the strings before build (Cloph)
        + translators concerned – lots of work that should not be there.
           + mistaken fuzzy strings issue (Cloph)
              + plan to auto-remove the fuzzy marker.
              + hope to have it improved a lot this week.
