Opening Discussion

PENDING ITEM: BugReport Page

 * ACTION: Joel will ping them (PT-BR) today
 * ACTION: Joel will look into additional languages on the wiki (do we have active wiki translators for each listed language?)


 * No Joel - Punt

PENDING ITEM: What to do with FDO bugs filed against Extensions, Templates

 * ACTION: Joel will continue to monitor the situation



PENDING ITEM: QA Website

 * ACTION: Joel will proof the macOS page


 * Florian R. - The website is running quite well, but waiting to hear back from Cloph re: stats
 * ACTION: Florian R. will ping Joel and start to work on the pending Action items.

PENDING ITEM: Tollef and Bugzilla TODOs and planning

 * ACTION: Will track the filed bug and wait to hear updates (re: Bold statement on FDO mail)
 * ACTION: Continue discussion (long-term) of move to Locally-hosted Bugzilla


 * Still in holding pattern here.

PENDING ITEM: Update the whiteboard/keywords page

 * ACTION: Joel will update the whiteboard/keywords page


 * Punt

PENDING ITEM: What to do with releases after EOL

 * ACTION: Joel will create new version in FDO "inherited from OOo" for bugs that predate our fork


 * Punt -- wait to hear from Joel

PENDING ITEM: Bibisect Repositories

 * ACTION: Bjoern/Robinson will investigate the possibility of being able to update the bibisect repository via git
 * ACTION: Florian R. will discuss with Bjoern the compression used for the daily builds [If possible "Save only". Fears a big redownload -> Untested...]


 * Florian R. - Script and notes about bibisecting here: http://flosmind.wordpress.com/libreoffice-bisecting/
 * Bjoern - We should discuss this in more depth at the conference
 * Florian R. - If new repo --> Include older versions!!
 * Bjoern - Including older versions would expand the repository and make the initial download size much larger (might be scary for first-time QA members?)
 * Bjoern - Will present more info about tinderboxes/ubuntu at the conference

PENDING ITEM: Feedback pages

 * ACTION: Robinson will go ahead with the Feedback page idea (and ping Rob)


 * Robinson - Still in process

PENDING ITEM: QA Meeting Times

 * [DONE] ACTION: Joel will start email thread about new time possibility and other options


 * Bjoern - Current time works for me
 * Florian R. - It depends upon class schedule
 * Let's revisit this topic in a month (after the conference)
 * ACTION: Robinson will ping the QA mailing list that we'll revisit the QA Meeting time in about a month

PENDING ITEM: Most Annoying Bug List

 * [SUPERSEDED] ACTION: Joel and others will work on moving MAB to a single list


 * Bjoern - Joel's proposal was to use prioritization (as it's quite good these days) and move away from our MAB lists
 * Bjoern - Users may be abusing the severity (setting more to 'blocker'), but not abusing the priority as much
 * Easiest: Re-index all of our bugs to turn MAB -> Highest priority, and bump the current set of 'Highest' bugs down to 'High'
 * ACTION: Florian R. will email out to the QA list and shepherd our trial of this process

PENDING ITEM: Bug Lists

 * [DONE] ACTION: Robinson will stub-in one or more wiki pages for this purpose (probably under QA/Bugzilla somewhere)
 * August 09 - Robinson created QA/Bugzilla/Useful Queries


 * This is done

PENDING ITEM: Known Limitations Warning

 * ACTION: Joel will add an enhancement request about adding a Known Limitation pop-up/warning tool


 * Robinson - I'll follow-up with Joel to make sure this is done
