   + was a normal week (Cloph)

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
  + multi-color gradients (Armin)
    + Heiko & Regina is creating pre-defined MCGRs, so e.g. rainbow can be inserted
  + document themes (Tomaz)
  + tdf#155118 multi-page floating tables in Writer (Miklos)

* LibreOffice conference Bucharest 2023 (Gabriel)
  + call for papers: https://events.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice-conference-2023/cfp
    + was extended till 15th July
  + what is the status wrt recruiting volunteers for the different parts of the workshop? (Gabriel)
    + discussed this in the team in Munich (Hossein)
    + idea is to present different parts of the workshop
    + will write down who does what
    + most part of the workshop is covered by someone by now
    + general discussions is not covered: e.g. opensource/free software in general can be provided by a university professor if wanted
    + will send details soon
    + great, want to see what parts are uncovered (Gabriel)
    + university feedback was: focus on actual programming
    + other feedback: at the end the students should feel they contributed something
    + easiest to mentor when the solution is already known (Hossein)
      + needs time
    + do you know the number of students to expect? (Hossein)
      + 2-3 students or more?
      + aware of >10 subscribers (Gabriel)
      + will continue promoting
      + would prefer to set a minimum (Hossein)
        + perhaps 5-7 as min
        + already at 12 as of 2 weeks ago, fear not (Gabriel)
        + hope close to 20
      + upper limit? (Thorsten)
        + if hands-on mentoring is needed
        + might also generate interest
        + 2 rooms are booked (Gabriel)
        + probably can't handle more than 20-25 (Thorsten)
        + have experience with ~15 attendees (Hossein)
        + then then can happen that half of them don't come the next day / until the end
      + We have to account for a potential high rate of dropouts (Stephane)
        + A helper is always good
        + We can also encourage peer-learning, students helping each other
      + should think of someone else helping Hossein (Gabriel)
        + expect to be busy with organizing
      + perhaps involve a few students prior to the conference, to help Hossein
      + will raise the idea to the university (Gabriel)
    + experience from Brazil (Xisco)
      + one problem was: many students appeared then many went away in the middle
      + wondering: if the university can give some kind of certificate
      + discussed this with the university (Gabriel)
        + officially this is not possible
        + but something nominal would be nice, perhaps TDF can give something? (Gabriel)
        + something like this happened in Brazil?
        + yes, that was indeed the case (Olivier)
        + could TDF implement something like this?
          + will discuss this later (Olivier, Gabriel)
