* Budget ranking (Thorsten)
   + on ESC share - “Budget2018”
   + should we include all members into the voting ? (Heiko)
       + helpful to have some expert views (Michael)
       + these are very technical (Thorsten)
           + perhaps a survey to get feedback on areas to improve.
   + getting any input at all is good (Michael)
       + only understood the UI topics (Heiko)
   + could you be interested in the survey ? (Thorsten)
       + good to have benefits of being a member (Heiko)
           + asking the community – get lots of input that needs aggregating
           + chunks of work
       + hard even in the ESC to get input.
       + we have a hear to improve – a talk at the conference ?
AI:    => end of call, mail spreadsheet for the board (Thorsten)

       + admins to sort by end of the week for Sophie (Thorsten)
             + err on generous side.
   + Coding: May 14 - August 6
   + Evaluation 2: July 9 – 13 - next week!
       + all students passed – 10 still going.
       + 1 feedback on somewhat inaccessible mentors
       + should have 2x assigned – if not available; please tell students
       + let Moggi/Heiko/Thorsten know if both are away
           + bad to let students stew for two weeks un-attended.
   + Students Submit Code and Final Evaluations: August 6 - 14

      5 CppunitTest_sd_export_ooxml2    (linux gcc release)

     16 CppunitTest_vcl_fontfeature             (windows)
   + Have the new Mac mini gooked up – with 2TB Fusion drive.
      + cached build in ~1 hour – in line with Windows.
      + to reduce the load froom multiple concurrent requests.
   + Last week – git killed on windows leaving a lock behind.
   + one Linux build had an soffice.bin from a previous build – making things fail.
   + failure number greater than reality – caused by earlier failure.
   + What is the cluster peak-rate ? (Michael)
      + around 600 commits/week currently handle at peak weeks (Christian)
         + no carry-over from one day to the next.
         + mean time ~100 minutes.
         + fastest limited by windows build time.

* l10n (Sophie)
    + Quiet – work going on nothing new to report.

* GCC 4.8 support no longer needed for master by City of Munich (Michael W)
    + prolly the only ones still using this vs. master.
    + 6.1 is the last one built for Ubuntu 14.04
    + new base-line is Ubuntu 18.04
        + gcc 7
    + would also require bumping base-line on TDF linux builds (Christian)
    + ideally wait for Stephan (Michael)
    + this may help wrt. C++ features, the VS 2017 upgrade didn’t much (Miklos)
        + due to older gcc baseline.
    + CentOS6 – continues until 2020, CentOS 7 til 2024 (Christian)
    + would like to build more KDE on a newer baseline (Thorsten)
    => when Stephan is back.

* QA update (Xisco)

    + looking good with unconfirmed <400
        + expect many new reports with the 6.1 release.
