* What’s cooking (Thorsten) + alpha/transparency change in vcl (Noel) + we've always stored transparency the wrong way
    + and then had to convert, at pretty much every API surface, and during
      import/export
    + things are nice & clean now - some speedup, and easier to understand
    + next up: remove split alpha bitmaps, and have it inline (RGBA) instead
+ platform a11y tests for gtk3 (Colomban Wendling, Hypra): https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/153069
    + tender by TDF, last stage of the work
    + locking down what we do on internal a11y api
    + almost there, some last remaining problems
    + will need some extra packages on CI, to run those tests - already
      installed (optional, configure checks for them)

* LibreOffice conference Bucharest 2023 (Gabriel) + some visa issues, trying to work-around it
    + two speakers affected - trying to solve that creatively
    + around 60 registrations, around 30 for the workshop
      + will do more local PR - expects more people signing up
      + many people from outside Romania, for the workshop - very nice to see!
    + 70 presentation - and 53 speakers in total
	+ AI all accepted speakers please confirm your attendance (email from
	  LibreOffice Conference 2023 <noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>)
