Hi all,

Thanks for the great meeting yesterday! Meeting minutes are here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Meetings/2014/September_24#IRC_Minutes

Our next meeting will be in two weeks. We'll be working hard between
now and then to get even more people involved in QA, so please think
about inviting a friend or fellow LibreOffice user to the meeting or
to the #libreoffice-qa IRC channel:

+ Bjoern re-introduced mergelibs for 4.3.2
+ enabled for 4.3.1 without a patch, we need
  other libs in mergelibs to avoid circular deps.
+ some interesting bug reports wrt. dbtools moving
  into mergelibs etc.
+ anyone interested in investigating ?
+ mergelibs works nicely from 4.0.x -> 4.2.x
startup time is visibily faster with it.

   + we should drop by with 2 or 3 developers, if possible
+ Be great to have -really- easy easy hacks for devs (Bjoern)
 
* UX Update (Kendy)
+ asked for Sifr icon sources - sent to red-mine, apparently using it
want to make icon generation more predictable, avoiding black-magic
working on this with Mirek & sensibly ordered Inkscape sheet.
+ use of redmine discussion - issues / benefits (Bjoern)
+ Mirek won't be able to make the ESC call; so in absentia ...
+ Florian doesn't want the use of the redmine wiki - not backed up etc.
+ prefer a single tool used
+ how is redmine used for QA ? (Robinson)
+ specific admin pieces tracked in there.
+ happy to use bugzilla for that purpose
+ might already fit in the existing infra in Redmine ? (Bjoern)
+ could we merge those & close the project ?
AI: + move the data across to infra / bugzilla (Bjoern)
+ easy to do now - only 10x tasks or so.
+ sometimes there is infra not maintained by infra team (Robinson)
+ otherwise happy enough with UX guys in Redmine.
