    + branches split off from the stats – is that OK? (Cloph)
    + higher failure rate of Linux (Cloph)
        + transition of the setup
        + bots did do more builds, but broken-because-of-setup were cleared
        + master/feature: mac/win is only started if linux succeed before
          → much lower failure rate on win/mac expected compared to lin/plg
    + much improved now (Thorsten)
        + runtime high – anybody can have a look why the builds are much
          slower? (Thorsten)
        + Eike reported ~5 hours…
            + for the entire thing including waiting
            + the build per se takes less – <~20 minutes on Linux, ~50 for win etc.
             (huge difference mac pro vs mac mini, see e.g.:  
https://ci.libreoffice.org/job/lo_gerrit/Config=macosx_clang_dbgutil/buildTimeTrend
        + but similar speed of build on Linux compared to the last year (Eike)
            + probably takes more time on Windows? (Thorsten)
            + need faster Windows & Mac boxes (Cloph, Thorsten) 

* l10n (Sophie)
    + still waiting for fuzziness fix.
    + have a batch of fixes to push to pootle (Cloph)
         + not complete yet though

* KDE5 filepicker integration (Thorsten)
    + getting minimal invasive KDE5 integration (Milian)
    + proposed to do something similar to Firefox: file dialogs working
       + has a proof-of-concept (Milian)
    + so far pretty ugly
    + public on github so far
      https://github.com/KDAB/libreoffice-core/tree/wip/kde-dialogs-in-vcl-gtk3-backend 
    + Gtk+ properly maintained by LibreOffice people, hope to get native feel
      on Plasma this way too (Milian)
    + still using the vclplug? (Kendy)
         + not even that, maybe just separate filepicker
         + as optional as possible (Milian)
             + compile time, and runtime checks (Milian)
    + on github now, would be good to get push rights for Milian for feature
      branch (Thorsten)
    + single component, similar to what was there in the past (Caolan)

* QA update (Xisco)

    + Mac bibisect repos
        + Open https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/2412#change-13897
            + prefer not to build the bibisect repo at home ;-) (Xisco)
        + Building branch 6.1 locally

    + UNCONFIRMED: 381 (+18)
