**Collabora Online Weekly Meeting #15**

Date: Mar 04, 2021

Next meeting: Mar 11, 2021

All minutes published on: [https://forum.collaboraonline.com/c/news/meeting-minutes/14](https://forum.collaboraonline.com/c/news/meeting-minutes/14)

**Attendees:**

- Nicolas Christener, Muhammet, Pranam, Andras, Yunusemre, Gabriel Masei, Ezinne, Szymon, Michael, Gokay, Pedro, Kendy

**Community update (Muhammet)**

- 80+ new contributors (25+ code contributors) since the move to github

- Roundup #10 published: [https://www.collaboraoffice.com/online/collabora-online-community-roundup-10/](https://www.collaboraoffice.com/online/collabora-online-community-roundup-10/)

- Roundups also shared on our [http://dev.to/](http://dev.to/) profile.

- Blog posts are much appreciated

**Template Contest (Nicolas)**

- 33 submissions, 10 really good

- Wrote a blog-post, currently in review – to be published tomorrow

- Heiko wrapped all the templates into extensions – which are now already published

- One per template ? (Michael)

- Perhaps need to put some more work into them to improve them

- also to get them up-stream

- What’s the l10n story ? (Michael)

- Localized templates – needed at TDF …

**JSON Toolbar / Notebookbar changes (Szymon)**

- No updates since last week

**Bind Mounting / Hard-linking (Gabriel)**

- Working on it right now – started this morning; nothing else too urgent today.

**CanvasTileLayer bits (Gokay)**

- Finished working on CanvasTileLayer on master

- are now porting to co-6-4 and testing to see if there are regressions

- bug-fixing & patch-porting going on now.

- Hope to have this released in CODE in around a week.

**Icon theming (css class names) (Pedro)**

- Tested with SVG symbols in the past

- Had a nice demo:

- Now tested with ‘object’; ‘embed’ & ‘iframe’

- GetSVGDocument is deprecated now – can use contentDocument attribute instead

- **=\> We have to do server side variable/color substitution → which is easy enough.**

- Load the SVG symbols, and reference parts of it in other places.

- We could do that on the backend / serving these potentially ? (Michael)

**Async Saving (Kendy)**

- Ash working on async save itself, and unit tests there.

- Previously used a remote server that answered test as needed – but not great for CI

- improving reliability with an own server with same http impl.

- Considered some small python thing but, decided to use the same code.

- Can we do that in-process in its own thread ? (Michael)

**Release schedule bits (Andras)**

- Originally wanted to have CODE this week, looked plausible

- Continuously releasing small / incremental fixes based on stable COOL for 6.4.6-

**Status of JS to TS move, and request for a (bunch of) easyHack(s) (Muhammet)**

- Good commits from Gokay & Dennis here

- Can we create an easy-hack for this ? To find leaf nodes & list them as easy-hacks ?

- Possibly a short tutorial on how to convert? To be published on dev.to?

- Might draw some attention of potential new contributors

- Sadly not as easy as that (Kendy)

- Need to search for that (Gokay)

**Pull requests in need of attention (Kara)**

- Several from Andreas – waiting for some weeks

- Thanks for the poke – was not aware (Pedro)

**Next Meeting**

Next meeting will take place on Thursday, Mar 11, 2021 at 11:00 am (UTC)

Here is the demo and I also added more options as requested by @kendy:

bottom line is: the only way to avoid glitch (icons switching color on loading) and without using server side is using inline svg
