    + bonus project from Linux Foundation: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2024/projects/7Y7YYa2G
      + good if UX keeps an eye on this (Ilmari)
      + the idea is that the UI doesn't change (Michael W)
    + next deadline: end of bonding period: 27th of May

* Commit Access

* LibreOffice Technology hackfest at Budapest (Miklos)

* Developer Certification (Stephan/Miklos/László/Gabriel)
  + resting since: 3 weeks (limit: 20 weeks)

* Jenkins / CI update (Cloph)
  + stats are missing, problem with Jenkins
  + apart from that, (relatively) new problem with the macOS builders

      + some older builders start to segfault on the code (compiler crashes)

  + Noel had a stab at fixing those clang crashes, is this still outstanding? (Caolan)
    + not sure (Cloph)
    + seems to be limited to the macOS 12.5 / xcode 14.2 (Cloph)
    + newer macs are delivered with new macOS / newer xcode

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
    + A11y update (Michael W)
        + gtk4: improve a11y role mapping upstream and in LO
        + gtk3: working on issues with broken a11y hierarchy and wrong positions being
          reported (tdf#159369, tdf#160806, tdf#160837)
    + RTL/CTL/CJK update (Jonathan)
      + tdf#61444 Text layout broken across formatting changes
        + Candidate patch posted
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61444
      + tdf#124116 Hebrew & Arabic punctuation shifted across formatting changes
        + In-progress
      + Do you need commit access or you expect reviews for your changes? (Hossein)
        + Wouldn't mind a review, good to have a 2nd set of eyes
        + appreciate if others also take a look.
    + build with wsl-as-helper but from within git-bash (Cloph)
      + all changes are submitted to master
      + works with srcdir != builddir
      + not sure if to keep doxygen in wsl or not
        + initially was running out of memory with it, but have new ideas
      + considering it as finished for now
        + installer uses strawberry perl, not git-bash-perl for now.
      + thanks a lot, this is greatly appreciated, helped the Windows arm work (Thorsten)
        + seeing some hangs, though.
        + when building with help, saw those (Cloph)
        + saw it without help, but only on arm (Stephan)
        + would be interesting to see if the hanging process is also suspended (Cloph)
          + if so, that would be the one Cloph is also seeing with xsltproc/xargs
    + RFC: makefile cleanup/simplification (Cloph)
      + example: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/167005
      + if no concerns, would continue with this, turning these calls into just variablse
      + idea: give it a week for people to look at it, and decide
      + anything that makes gbuild less indirect, love it (Thorsten, Stephan)
      + what is the counter-argument? (Caolan)
        + makes the history harder to read (Cloph)
        + suggest to not wait for a week (Caolan)
    + Progress on Dev Guide API doc links (Ilmari)
      + changing to the use of wiki templates, that point to the correct API doc pages
      + even did some mass-replacements
      + perhaps even script some of this
      + 1400 items left, but improving
