  + more builds this week (compared to usual)

* l10n (Sophie)
  + weblate instance status: migrating to a newer version
  + also to final hardware

* Graphics architecture (Thorsten)
 * https://pad.documentfoundation.org/p/ESC_graphics_architecture
 * skia status: see the updated feature/skia branch in core.git (Miklos)
   * hope to merge this branch to master after the libreoffice-6-4 branch-off
   * current defaults: enabled build-time, disabled runtime
     (later: replace the OpenGL default with skia+vulkan on Windows)
     * plan to merge it early next week
     * proposing it as Windows default only later (perhaps late in the 6.5 cycle) (Miklos)
     * OpenGL was a bad choice for users, happy to see it going away (Thorsten)
 * watch the dev list for detailed questions (Thorsten)

* docx/xlsx-aggressive-competitors (Miklos)
 + docx metabug status: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128194 7 open bugs
 + xlsx metabug status: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128382 4 open bugs
  + unchanged from last week

* require make 4.0? (Michael S)
 + confused developers run configure with make 4.0 then run make 3.81 from
   Xcode and it breaks mysteriously
 + even if configure sees a newer make, the actual build may see the older one
 + though, RHEL7 doesn’t have make 4.0 yet (have it in devtools)
   + should be fine from the Red Hat side (Caolan)
 + proposal: just require newer make and fail hard on older versions
 + AI: make it a requirement on master (Michael S)

* QA update (Xisco)

   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128882
	+ LibreOffice 6.4 beta1 for mac → newer build is meant to fix this

display (xcode 10)
           + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122218
             + probably depends on xcode version (Xisco)
             + but newer xcode is required by notorization (Cloph)
               + ideal would be to build with xcode 10 entirely
               + HiDPI screen for Cloph would be great (Michael)
               + found out: not a regression, but it is from a user’s PoV
    Fixed:
