   + Add Sukapura icon Theme to Core and Set It to Default for macOS
     + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130500
     + make it the default on macOS
     + mostly UX domain (Miklos)
       => no objections (all)

   + Add possibility to define tab positions in percentage of paragraph area
     width
     + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130420
     + needsDevEval
     + Word has something similar, paragraph tabs (can e.g. center)
       + if somebody wants to work on this, go ahead (Miklos)

   * Dark theme for the welcome window
     + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129725
     + accepted regression
     + would suggest checking why it was introduced, to understand who needs it (Miklos)


* Crash Testing (Caolan)
   + we’re missing Caolan
   + 1(-26) import failure, 2(-2) export failures
   + ??? coverity issues
   + Google / ossfuzz: ?? fuzzers active now
   + crashtesting machine status
     + probably nothing changed, still no results (Michael S)
     + https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/crashtest/?C=M&O=D
       + result from yesterday? (Miklos)
         + it’s probably the limited set (Cloph)

        + (+1932) 6774 4842 419 0

   + numbers are lower then usual, service was down for 2 days (Xisco)
     + the reproducible crashes are now fixed, waiting for the next release

* Update baseline to VS2019 on master before 7.0 (Cloph)
   + Noel lists benefits on the list:
     + ASan support, faster linking, better C++ conforming
   + Did somebody tried the Asan support? (Michael S)
     + no idea yet (Stephan)

=> re-visit this in 1 week, make a decision by then / by 27th

Update macOS Xcode baseline to 11 (Stephan)
   + and build-baseline to macOS 10.14.4
   + assumed that TDF Macs are using xcode11 anyway
   + benefits: we know how to fix the blurry text issue with Xcode 11
       (but not with Xcode 10)
     + also better c++ library support (e.g. std::optional)
   + OK to require xcode 11 on master (Cloph)
AI: + actually require xcode 11 on master (Stephan)

* GSoC 2020 (Ilmari)
   + https://opensource.googleblog.com/2019/12/announcing-google-summer-of-code-2020.html

           + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117088
           + Tamas Buth will take a look

	Fixed:

        + After Update to 6.1.4 on macOS fonts are blurred on retina
display (xcode 10)
           + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122218
            + Thanks to Stephan
		+ still affecting users while mac builds are done with xcode10
           + Still, my fix only fixes the symptoms with Xcode 11 (and who knows
             what bad side effects it could eventually have), not the
             underlying cause (whatever that is exactly, probably related to
             "Layer-Backed Views",
             <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122218#c172>)
             which should still be fixed. (Stephan)
