* Crash Testing (Caolan)
    + 15 (+9) import failures, 15(+15) export failures
      + import issue should be fixed in the next round.
      + export looks like related to redlining
      + but not isolated a reproducer yet -    
    + ?? 8(+0) coverity issues
      + coverity was not working with C++17
      + https://community.synopsys.com/s/article/Coverity-Scan-Update actually
        now coverity is completely down for everybody with no ETA for
        restoration, so lets wait until it comes back up to see what version it
        will use if it comes back
    + 15 Google / ossfuzz: 13 timeouts.
        + 2 serious (probably both the same thing)
        + related to redlining in doc import - but ~pre-existing probably  
    + ?? ForcePoint, round 9
        + two asserts/crashes on using crashtester over round 9
    + CVE issues in progress for Jan 2019
        + no AOO release yet but … fixed by us for several releases.
    + CNA process fun
    + PVS Studio – some smallish issues remaining

    + 6.1.4.2 → mergedlo.dll is top 1 crash signature – not very informative
    + otherwise numbers are good.

* Hackfests & Events (Thorsten)
   + next year hackfests coming up:
	+ FOSDEM in February 2nd
          + ESC + BoD meeting ? (Xisco)

                 + do the ESC want to ?
               + do we have topics ? (Miklos)
                 + if not don’t waste time
               + if ESC – everyone could join (Heiko)
               + so far no topics, no-one promoting it. 
          + Wed/Thur- 2 days ~3 days before the conference confirmed.
          + lots going on on Friday there
          + Add yourself to the dinner / hackfest wiki page:
              + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/2019/FOSDEM
          + track: https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/track/open_document_editors/
	+ Tirana perhaps in March/April
	+ Paris in summer
		+ discuss timing – end of June or sometime July 
	+ tentative Dresden: late autumn (past mid-October, for having students)
   + hope to have one each quarter.

* GSOC 2019 (Xisco)
   + https://opensource.googleblog.com/2018/11/google-summer-of-code-15-years-strong.html
      + project signup (opening Jan 15th)
   + need to have an agreement that we want to mentor (Heiko)
      + a couple of students already interested
      + Markus may have some concerns wrt. mentoring B/W
      + need to attract new people (Michael)
      + suggest having a number of willing mentors say ~2 at least (Heiko)
         + completely agreed (Michael)
      + last year – not all mentors / co-mentors were so available (Heiko)
   + who wants to mentor ?
      + Kendy – yes, if a good student signs up; but not below Avg.
      + Eike – happy if someone is interested in calc table styles
      + Olivier – any coding here ? PHP ? But perhaps can’t mentor in PHP
      + Stephan – happy to mentor rust/UNO binding if someone wants it.
         + Michael S – happy to co-mentor.
      + Xisco – co-mentored python thing; happy to repeat if Markus likes it
      + Caolan – co-mentor last year; in general yes – specifically have to
        be able to do it yourself
   + perhaps ratchet down difficulty of GSOCs (Michael)
   => do apply – we have at least a few mentors.
