+ formerly Armin Weiss,
+ working on the code-base for ~15 yrs, from StarDivision, with Marco.
+ formerly at IBM, now at CIB.
+ working on LibreOffice immediately, starting now.
+ currently getting used to new stuff; gerrit, new builds etc.
+ warming up the fingers.
+ commit access for him? (Bubli)
=> adding him (Norbert) Done.
+ pushing to gerrit gives a free-build on all platforms in 30-40mins
(Norbert)
+ it's awesome (Armin)
+ if have a patch, want to test, but don't want it to go through:
+ put a -1 self review on it; it helps.
+ also can use a +2 to avoid others reviewing things (Bjoern)
+ or makes people think you forgot to press the button (Kendy)
* Widow / Orphan controls on by default (Justin)
"I would like to request that someone give official endorsement
to turning on widow/orphan controls by default for new
documents. I expect this probably fits ESC better than UI
group.
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89714;
+ replied on the list, pretty old feature & stable (Miklos)
+ just a UX decision if it should be on/off.
+ not entirely UX (Bubli)
+ changes ODF export around styles (are they default styles)
+ from the bug report (JMux)
+ default value currently not saved in the doc.
+ all old documents without this would get it on load.
+ he intends that only new docs get it (Lionel)
+ Can we store this 'on/off' setting for Microsoft docs ? (Michael S)
+ by default on since MS Word 2003 - so improves interop (Lionel)
+ all for it in general; no opinion on implementation.
+ not necessary for UX to discuss it (Kendy)
=> as long as it doesn't break old docs - happy for it to go in
with the new more interoperable default.
* Documentation (Kendy/Olivier)
+ someone working on online modification of help-files
+ Jay to encourage him to push that publicly.
+ in a while will need a VM from infra to test this.
+ more changes in help-authoring:
+ better image handling; new version needs releasing soon.
+ in the last week:
+ added nice new help pages from Lera Goncharuk (tagezi)
+ interested in cleaning trash from the help files too.
+ which may help translators too - avoiding redundant work.
+ Jay is updating the help for the menus & the authoring ext'n.
+ Regina & Eike did some work at the hackfest tool.
* UX Update (Kendy)
+ new icons 32pix vers of tango & Sifr as well.
+ code to enable 32pix icons coming soon.
+ need a switch in tools->options to enable them.

+ design session building ideas around NotebookBar.
+ ideally when Samuel is back
+ won't be (Bubli, Thorsten)
+ won't be only 1x session.
