      + a very busy week in CI – 200 builds more for Linux boxes
          + not uniformly distributed – end of last week: queue grew quite large.

* Budgeting (Thorsten)
    + collecting wish-lists:
        + get some fast new Macs and host at Manitu
        + gerrit updates
    + other ideas for development topics ?

* l10n (Sophie)
    + Christian installing pootle on a TDF server
        + waiting to do the migration on an ‘ack’ from translate.za
    + otherwise translators are happy.

* Implementing a11y non-regression tool (Samuel T)
    + hypra implementing a build-time tool to check for regression in a11y markup
    + should it be implemented in LibreOffice, or in glade ?
    + no glade dep – a python script would be great (Michael)
    + may be movements towards writing a new glade (Heiko)
         + perhaps best not to put work into glade.
    + expect libreoffice specific pieces in the end (Michael)
    + ok in principle with a python script (Samuel T)
         + will be at FOSDEM to discuss future plans.
