Ideas from the Crowd

Feel free to add some.

• [Gerrit] Upgrade Gerrit to upcoming 2.11.6
• [Gerrit] Install gerrit-oauth-provider plugin and enable OAuth2 authentication scheme for GitHub and Google
• It would be superb if you could consider this for the FOSDEM 2016 hackfest; I assume this is an easy hack and a low-hanging fruit: "Improve usability of PDF export of documents with comments": In version 4.3, Caolán implemented the possibility in Writer to print PDFs with comments inside the margin. This is a very important feature collaborating with others and great to have it now. However, currently this is limited to printing and does not work in PDF-export. Like printing, PDF exporting of documents with comments is a very common use case. Unfortunately, no one has touched the PDF export dialog yet, so this new feature is not yet available in the PDF export dialog, although the feature itself is actually implemented. Caolán describes the (for users complicated) work-around in the related bug entry: To activate PDF export with comments inside the margin, it is necessary to change the settings in Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice Writer ▸ Print. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to activate/deactivate it from the PDF export dialog itself! Please see tdf#77650 for details and a sample .ui file how it could look like. It seems to me that this feature is a low hanging fruit involving mostly a small change in the UI.

Discussion Topics

Feel free to add some.

Accomodation

See FOSDEM accommodation for relevant information; the punch line is that most people stay at the Hotel Astrid.
