      + providing arm builds on the mirrors currently, but don't advertise them on the download page (Cloph)
      + because no arm HW to test it
      + so compromise is: daily tinderbox, the builds are there, but not advertised
      + do we know if it's usable? (Thorsten)
        + Hossein tried it on rpi4 (Cloph)
        + works, but no testsuite that works on actual HW
        + Windows store to have it? (Thorsten)
        + some tablets run Windows arm
        + background: is that what the project / ESC wants to officially support?
          + currently cross-compiling: no unit tests are ran
          + also currently no CI
          + just want to start this discussion
    + currently no arm in the Windows store (Cloph)
      + the conversion for the store has to happen on actual arm HW
      + interested in seeing official support, having invested time here (Thorsten)
    + is it easy to reproduce build problems locally? (Miklos)
      + 2-3 additional VS components are needed, not much (Cloph)
      + there is a distro config this already (Thorsten)

* LibreOffice hackfest in Cambridge (Miklos)
  + as part of COOL days: 28 & 29th March 2023
  + https://www.collaboraoffice.com/cooldays/ has more info

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
  + Multi-page floating tables: behind SW_FORCE_FLY_SPLIT=1 for now (Miklos)
  + multi-color gradients (Armin)
    + focusing on plumbing / rendering, no model changes yet (Thorsten)
    + the XGradient/data structures/UNO API changes got started, see discussion on
      the dev ML
  + theming work (Tomaz)
    + focusing on Writer for now
  + PDF/UA is not enabled by default but Tagged PDF is (Michael S)

* LibreOffice conference Bucharest 2023 (Gabriel)

    + technical workshops for students from the university (faculty) that will host the

      conference: what can we offer ?

    + during the conference

    + after the conference

  + Gabriel is part of the organizing team
    + looking forward to get input on what's wanted
  + probably something for Hossein/Ilmari, to lead that (Thorsten)
    + did it two times
    + lot of work to prepare to be useful
    + half a day / full-day, so people can have build & easy hacks done
      + so the experience is rewarding
      + what can we require from students?
      + think it's C++ (Gabriel)
        + will ask
  + experience from hackfest at his university (Hossein)
    + can be half a day to just setup (download, build, etc)
    + two sessions is better: 4 hours each
    + if you don't need to build (e.g. python extension): ~no setup time needed
      + e.g. show off scripting possibilities
    + more detailed work (easy hacks, bugfixing): more time is needed
    + think there is no problem with the time (Gabriel)
      + can have a dedicated room, can promote it before the conference
      + 1-2 months before the end of the semester
    + may make sense to work with the students online, before the conference
      + that would be helpful
      + can discuss the idea (Gabriel)
  + experience from regional conference (LATAM) in Brazil (Olivier)
    + tried to bring the university / students some value
    + show them how we create FLOSS
    + including quality / how to report bugs
    + workshops on specific tasks
    + will talk to the university contacts if we can use their lab (Gabriel)
      + possibly students prefer their own laptops anyway
  + need to take some concrete proposal to the university (Gabriel)
    + will talk to Hossein/Ilmari separately
    + will announce this on the dev list (where, when)
