    Organization
    
     * How to work with both the design team and end users to improve LibreOffice UI/UX (Eric Ficheux)
       + Follows UX improvement requests from a user survey in Nantes
         + 5000 users asked a couple of open questions online
         + 75% are fine with LibO
         + First results indicate design relevant issues regarding printer setup and bullets/numbering
       + Goal is to study, make proposals and implement
         + happy to get the results and to help in analyzing (Heiko)
    
     * Major release update
       + Q1/18 - next steps?
       + Tender for design; Budget?
         + will ask the tdf team next Monday (Heiko)
       + New branding needed (KJ)
       + Coordinating work with Marketing team (maybe some stuff for conference?) (KJ)
       + we could have started with releasing of 5.0 (Jay)
       + we should hire an experience designer > have a tender (Jay, Heiko)
    
     * Custom Shapes
       + Had a kick-off today
         + http://pad.documentfoundation.org/p/UX-CustomShapes
    
    
    GSoC projects
    
     * Ideas do not have code pointers, making things harder for new gsoc students
     * Discussion on Customisation dialog (Akshay)
     * Akshay will do the special character project mentored by Samuel
       + limited scope without OCR part, which would be very pity as OCR would be a killer feature
       + maybe completed by another project
       + https://user-prompt.com/libreoffice-design-session-special-character/
    
    Tickets
    
     * New default bullets
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106507
       + Not a fan as presented (Stuart c4)
       + Better we align the bullet/numbering workflow/dialog to what has been done with area fill style
         meaning presets, show properties on selection, ability to add own presets... (Heiko c7)
       + Users actually requested the shown dash (Eric)
       + Looking forward to see the design (Jay)
    
     * Color picker
       + New default color palette https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87538
         + no of rows
           + 8 rows http://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=131473 (Heiko)
           + 9 rows http://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=131574 (Jay)
              + don't like scrolling in that dialog, so rather 9 than 8 rows (opinion Cor)
         + survey runs, results indicate equal acceptance of v2 and v3
         + lets have a talk during the week with Thibaut (Jay)
       + different number of rows based on OS or DE
         + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106458
         + was a GSoC project two years ago, maybe kendy knows (Samuel)
