* GSoC 2020 (Ilmari)
   + https://opensource.googleblog.com/2019/12/announcing-google-summer-of-code-2020.html
       + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas
         + if you have the time, please do mentoring!
       + Student Application Period March 16 - 31, 2020
       + Application Review Period March 31, 2020 - April 27, 2020
   + students contacting potential mentors already, as usual

* easy hack future perspectives (Ilmari)
   + core devs seem to be of the opinion that difficultyInteresting should be the qualification threshold for GSoC
   + too late to change for 2020, but how about 2021? What does Thorsten say?
   + Muhammet proposed to have a new difficulty category. Ilmari thought it could be difficultyTrivial, for use with the ones like #pragma once and initializer_list ctor
     + trivial vs beginner, not clear which one is easier (Michael S)
       + can’t differentiate, either (Heiko)
     + sounds better to have difficultyMedium back
   + no rules from Google regarding that (Thorsten)
    + what is the advantage of a 3rd category? (Heiko)
      + not trivial and not challenging (Ilmari)
      + what is an example? (Ilmari)
        + most of them, unless trivial or challenging
        + could be the new default, then rank up or down if needed
        + e.g. sal_uLong → something else (Michal S)
          + but sometimes it’s more difficult
   + adding new tests and UNO commands
     + depends of if it’s copy&paste + adapt or something more complicated (Xisco)
   + approach: default to medium and it’ll be adjusted as necessary

=> no objections to make this written down / explicit

* mentoring/easyhack update
   + reviewing patches from first contributors is much appreciated (Muhammet)
