   + tb69 (Dallas Mac Pro) will be taken offline early May
     + have spare Mac-mini capacity to smooth the transition
     + currently not used – taken off-line: no-one had GUI access (Christian)
        + discuss it off-line (Thorsten)
   + under 100minute mark for mean & median build times, with 500 builds.
   + failures – nothing that sticks out hugely.
   + some of the writer tests failed; but nothing major.
     fixed two of the UI tests – that had the same name (Miklos)
       + if were executed in parallel in the past – got a false positive.
    
* l10n (Sophie)
    + Christian will update LibreOffice Online template on pootle
    + Olivier is organizing a language sprint next month – June/July
       + Guarani language work is being resumed (Olivier)
          + hope to have a UI in the next 3 months.
    + otherwise work is smooth.

* ESC composition (Michael)
    + suggested list as circulated.
    + any objections ?
    + should we blog about it to get more people ? (Heiko)
       + do we want users ? (Michael)
           + we want the people doing the work
           + all are welcome to attend.
       + its about who can vote (theoretically ?) (Michael S)
       + who should be there that isn’t ?
       + tried in the past to get more people ? (Heiko)
           + people are always angry when things change or not change.
              + should get an opportunity.
           + want to have user representatives ? (Michael)
              + surely you are that ?
       + if we blog about it – should be clear who is addressed (Heiko)
          + if developers expected to raise a voice – fine.
          + if users – then that should be clear.
          + make it clear – who steers the project.
          + if we blog about it – make it clear how we steer the project.
          + not to invite people – but to do the best for the project.
          + why not talk with Italo if he wants to blog. (Michael)
     + need formal approval (Gabriel)
       + fair enough make membership conditional on that in proposal (Michael)
     => send the list to the BoD for rubber stamping. 

* Jitsi quality (Eike)
    + no better than TDF …
    + had many problems in the past (Xisco)
       + now using the Android app – works much better.
       + if others have a problem just try it.
    + what’s the difference to self-hosted (Thorsten)
       + build-your-own mobile apps ? (Michael)
          + only for PC screen-sharing is that baked on (Thorsten)
          + https://jitsi.documentfoundation.org/chrome.crx 
            (no extension needed for firefox)
    + performance is worse (Christian)
       + but rather close to the TDF server.
       + but for some reason jitsi doesn’t let me unmute anymore
    + quality is better for me (Thorsten)
    + breaking equally on both servers (Eike)
       + chopping every 3rd or 2nd word
       + only for some people – using Chrome.
    + run it on an extra system: 50% of CPU (Heiko)
       + processor speed is killing it
       + is that a Raspberry Pi ? (Thorsten)
         + MacBook Pro i5/2.5Ghz
    + the hangout + phone-line was worse (Michael)
    + so what do we do ? (Xisco)
    + proposal: (Thorsten)
       => try to improve TDF’s server, and stick with this for now.
