Dear Developers,
Thanks everyone for coming to this week's meeting. We had a short meeting and then worked through a bunch of really old merge requests. If you had an MR which was not marked as draft but had it's last activity more than 7 months ago, we might have closed your MR to keep things clean. Reopen branches and mark them as draft if you are still working on them. Some were also reviewed and approved.
We're down to 58 open merge requests.

# Bug Accelerator Program
Jonathan Has tried to contact pono who is the third people in the hiring committee to finalise the process. May have to create tickets and move forwards as best as we can.
# Machines for Developers
Sent out a poll if people need a windows or macOS machine for their work. 2 responses. Will be approved case by case basis by the PLC since there won't be very many requests.
# Website issues
Martin was working on spam protections this morning. No further issues with DDos this week.
# MacOS
Rene has made it possible to get log files in the macOS tests on the CI. Probably an oversight in how it was created. The good news is that it's as fast as it used to be, under 5 minutes instead of 20 minutes. Achieved by downgrading to a previous os version likely a gtk issue.
# Windows
Wants to work on the Gtk4 windows builder. It's not ready yet, but expected int he next couple of days.
# Gtk4
Tav has started working on a couple of different things. Doing the preview in the export dialog in the Gtk4 branch.
Vaibhav is working on bug fixes on the Gtk4 branch this week.
# Release
Mikekov is looking at discrepencies between master and 1.3.x to see what is happening and what might need be fixed. Especially for the migration work. Made some MRs to adjust those small things, maintly cosmetic.
Elendil - Reports an unstream windows issue with Pango which is fixed upstream but needs to make it's way to our msys2 builds. Will report it to msys2.
# Other items
Martin continues his work on the Color branch, not breakthroughs to report as of yet.
Thanks everyone, see you all next week!
