* Crash Testing
    + 1(+1) import failure, 2(+2) export failures
      + not reproducible, though
    + 5 coverity issues
      + next round will be lower
    + Google / ossfuzz: down for a while, build fixed again
      - 5 issues, 1 serious
      - build fixed now again
    + ForcePoint, round 9
      - 38 issues, 5 unfixed, all writer layout
      - complicated, no progress this week
        - perhaps will just throw an exception for the corner-case...

         + 2177 1626 (last 7 days) (+551)
         + top 1 - new crash in 6.1.0.3 in GL – looks like locking
           + epoxy upgrade on master didn’t fix tdf#119028
           + probably not worth backporting to 6.1
           + aware of no reproducer steps at the moment
         + top 3 – regression since 6.1.

   + Munich (Thorsten)
      + Oct 26-28th, CIB main office
      + an Open Gov’t meeting from the City of Munich
      + good to have a hack-fest back-to-back there.
   + Conference – September 26 - 28
   + DINAcon - Bern / Switzerland – Hackfest ~October 19th (Michael)

* Go back to weekly meeting on the same day (Heiko)
    + data is: https://demo.eu.collaboraonline.com/tdf/index.php/f/12850
        since June over 11 weeks we have 11.5 participants in average
        on Thursday vs. 8 on Wednesday (SD 2.3/1.4)
        at least 3 more on Thursday afternoon.
           + do we know who they are ? (Michael)
                + do we get new people or just loose them.
    + prefer to move it back to a single day – Thur (Stephan, Heiko, Sophie)
       + last week Kendy preferred Thur (Heiko)
    + anyone in favor of Wednesdays ?
       + only good if people are different on Wed (Cloph, Sophie, Michael)
         + not worth having wed.
    + don’t care much – like the same day each week (Michael S)
       + easier to remember.
    => no-one here on Wed. that wants Wednesday.
    => propose switching back to Thur – from next week & await screaming.
       + some would be persuaded by yet better data showing different people.

    + no exact names, but it feels the Wed meetings did not really attract new people
      + experiment is kind of failing => go back to always Thur from next week
