* Present:
    + Xisco, Stephan, Sophie, Heiko, Caolan, Olivier, Kendy, Christian, Thorsten

* Completed Action Items:
    + come up with a plan for un-blocking peak CI in future (Christian)
       [ one plan – have variants of the job to disable linux / gcc builder
         with high load, and have Windows VMs on them to handle Windows load.
         Can be done manually quite easily – enable 1 config vs. the other.
         Can be automated by querying the queue size etc.
         Could we spin-up cloud VMs here ?
         Is it better to revert more aggressively ? (Michael)
             + yes, was looking at a queue of dependent patches
             + things getting merged when queue is long (Thorsten)
                 + would be ideal to scale higher for a day eg. ]

* Pending Action Items:

* Release Engineering update (Christian)
    + 5.4.6 - RC2 next week (beginning of week March 13/Tue)
        + tagged and built yesterday, up-loading builds now.

    + 6.0.3 – RC1 and branch next week (end of week March 15/Thu)
        + plan to tag late this evening.
        + SalGraphics / jmux assert bits – have a patch, causes another issue
             + is another test breakage related or not (?)
             + unclear if the fix is effective.
        + ought to get this into RC1 if we can:
             + currently over 30x patches waiting for 6.0
             + a reviewing stall there:
    https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/q/status:open+branch:libreoffice-6-0

           + have a visual clue in the page – did it succeed or not.
