    • [DONE] ACTION: Joel will bring up this topic to the ESC
    • [DONE] ACTION: Robinson will remove a lot of versions from the BSA (for EOL'd versions, collapse to just major versions (X.x)
      • June 16 - Robinson's patched merged-in and BSA updated.
      • Next step: Work with Joel to see we can remove all non-release version #'s corresponding to EOL'd builds (e.g. 3.5 now, and 3.6. in August)
    • [DONE] ACTION: Joel will hide one release in FDO today
      • If it's really simple to do, then Joel will consider doing this in parallel, otherwise we will work on FDO after the BSA

    NOTES: very simple - can still search for bugs but cannot change version to the version that is hidden nor report bugs against version. Tested with 3.3.0.Beta2 (right now this is hidden on FDO)

    • ESC told Joel: Go for it
    • Collapsed 3.3 and 3.4 to single versions in BSA
    • De-listed all alpha/beta/RC's for released versions

    New Action Items

    All items proposed between meetings go here

    NEW ITEM: Collapse versions on BSA 6 months after last release (Robinson, Joel)

    • We've been streamlining the versions listed in the BSA and would like to come up with some basic guidelines
    • 6 months after shipping the last version of a Release, we'd like to collapse the versions down to 'X.x all versions'.
    • This gives users plenty of time to transition to a modern, supported version of LibreOffice
    • Some corporate users/distros continue to use EOL versions for quite some time, but for end-users we think it's best to have a short list of versions
    • The short list will more clearly designate which versions are no longer supported by us

    We could list this date on the ReleasePlan page:

    basic dates for the initial and bugfix releases
    release freeze publishing
    ... ...
    End of Life August 15, 2013
    Single version on BSA January 15, 2013
    • Joel - We should go ahead and add this to the wiki
    • ACTION: Robinson will add this to the ReleasePlan page

    New Items (Proposed/Discussed at the Meeting)

    NEW ITEM: UX-Advice should be lowercase ("ux-advice") (Florian R.)

    • Florian R. - Because the "ux-advice" component is for internal use only, it should be in lowercase.
    • ACTION: Joel will update the text in FDO
    • ACTION: Robinson will update the BSA and the wiki
      • NOTE: Hopefully we can change case with a simple page-move on the wiki (and don't have to do a 2-step move or etc..)

    Announcements

    • ANNOUNCEMENT: Our next meeting will take place... July 26th (Friday) at 13:00 UTC, unless otherwise noted on the QA/Mailing List.
    • Joel notes that he and Florian R. will be unavailable for the next meeting
    • Robinson - Perhaps a break would be good for everyone :-)
    • We're planning to skip the next scheduled meeting (July 12) and meet again on July 26.

    End

    • Meeting adjourned at: 13:53
