    + Caolan, Heiko, Ilmari, Xisco, Stephan, Kendy, Michael S, Thorsten, Olivier, Miklos, Eike,

* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
    + 7.0 status: feature freeze is last week of May
    + 6.4 status: final 6.4.3 is out, .4 rc1 in 2 weeks
    + 6.3 status: rc2 6.3.6 next week
    + Adapt to change in latest LLVM libcxxabi that may affect macOS (Stephan)
       + Got heads-up from someone at Apple that LO 6.3/6.4 started to fail
         for them (presumably against internal macOS update).
       + Nightly master with f4b6f6a8ae60bdec53512728d00853b73fa18500 “Hack to
         dynamically adapt to __cxa_exceptiom in LLVM 11 libcxxabi” reportedly
         works (making it likely that a backport would also fix 6.3/6.4).
       + Backported to -6-3 and -6-4; missed the boat for –6-4-3; backport to
         –6-3-6 at <https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/92300>.

* GSoC 2020 (Ilmari)
    + April 20: deadline for review of student proposals
    + April 21 18:00 UTC: Deadline to submit slot requests (Org Admins enter requests)
    + April 22 18:00 UTC: Slot allocations are announced by Google
    + April 22 - 30 18:00 UTC: Orgs select the proposals to become student projects. At least 1 
mentor must be assigned to each project before it can be selected. (Org Admins enter selections)
    + April 30 - May 4: Google Program Admins will do another review of student eligibility
    + May 4: Accepted GSoC 2020 students/projects are announced
    + We rejected a proposal for improving LibreOffice websites after receiving information from a 
Google rep on mentors list (note: correct place to ask would have been gsoc-support@google.com)
    + “GSoC projects need to be actual coding projects. Simply doing HTML & design work aren't 
appropriate for GSoC.”
    + The project would have been much more than HTML & design work
    + Conclusion: other orgs ignore this unwritten rule and do website projects anyway as can be 
seen by looking at the history of projects. LibreOffice is conservative and does not dare to risk 
getting punished by Google.
    + if you are a mentor and want to mentor a project, please press the “I want to mentor this” 
button (Thorsten)
    + then we’ll see how many slots we would like
    + 2nd mentor is now mandatory (Ilmari)
