   + tests that failed more than three times in last seven days:
      7 UITest_writer_demo
     10 UITest_writer_tests5
   + some were re-boots due to connection loss on slaves.
   + writer_tests5 – notably broke for ~10 builds.
      + who committed last ? (Michael)
         + red-lining added by Raal ? (Miklos)
            + fails 1/100 times – unclear quite why since added 
            + prolly race condition
            + perhaps disable it until its clear why it breaks.
            => disable it for now
AI:         + next time we see it fail chop out that sub-test (Miklos)
   + the writer_demo issues were all related.

* l10n (Sophie)
   + work in pootle is ongoing
   + launching a new website: “What can I do for LibreOffice”
      + will need translating into lots of languages.
   + weblate still in test; will write a report next week on it.

* keep kde5 as default on KDE Plasma and LXQt desktops for LibreOffice 6.2?
  (Michael W)
   + kde5 is currently default on Plasma & LXQt
   + tdf#124044 correctly states it’s not yet ready for “production”
   + concerned that by the time 6.2 is ‘still’ - will it be ready.
   + talked with Bubli – and suggest waiting some weeks until 6.2.5
   + happy if you are (Michael)
     + if you do the work – you decide (Miklos)
   => leave it to those doing the work to decide.

* Use jitsi instance next week? (Xisco)
   + https://meet.jit.si
   + working quite badly at jitsi.documentfoundation.org
   + struggling with chrome / firefox browsers
   + do you see the Online transcript ? (Michael)
      + seems to work – Xisco types here ...
   => lets try the jitsi instance instead next week.

* QA update (Xisco)
    + back from vacation 
    + big increase in unconfirmed; now catching up with the work.
    + happy to see most-pressing bugs getting reduced
    + been cherry-picking some of the worst bugs to previous versions.
