[17:02:36] <jaheikki3> Any additional item to the agenda?
[17:03:57] <jaheikki3> Let's start from Qt 6.11 status
[17:04:24] <jaheikki3> Unfortunately Qt 6.11.0 release is delayed
[17:04:48] <jaheikki3> Some new severe security issues reported from Chromium so we want to follow rules and best security standards and take fixes in
[17:05:10] <jaheikki3> And actually some of those have already exploits in the web 
[17:05:27] <jaheikki3> Fix/update is integrating
[17:05:40] <thiago> ah, already integrating
[17:05:41] <thiago> good
[17:06:07] <jaheikki3> And new target for Qt 6.11.0 is Mon 23rd March
[17:06:40] <jaheikki3> That's all about 6.11 status. Any comments or questions?
[17:07:04] <jaheikki3> One addition: The webengine/Chromium update update is the only change we are including
[17:09:00] <jaheikki3> Then Qt 6.10 status:
[17:09:12] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.10.3 release delayed as well
[17:09:30] <jaheikki3> Those same same Chromium fixes needed in Qt 6.10.3
[17:10:00] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.10.3 will be updated with that one webengine change
[17:10:13] <jaheikki3> And the new target is Thu 26th March
[17:10:20] <thiago> two in the same week?
[17:10:34] <jaheikki3> thiago: Yes, that's the plan
[17:10:43] <jaheikki3> Should be doable
[17:11:17] <jaheikki3> it was all about 6.10 status. Any more comments or questions?
[17:11:39] <thiago> doable, yes
[17:11:51] <thiago> I was just thinking that Marketing hated when we released more than one thing a week
[17:12:35] <thiago> or on a day other than Tuesday or Thursday
[17:13:50] <jaheikki3> thiago: Yeah, I can ask if we can release those two at the same week. But I know releasing Qt 6.11.0 on monday isn't a problem; marketing is already included in that discussion
[17:14:44] <thiago> ok
[17:14:49] <jaheikki3> If they disagree releasing 6.10.3 Thu 26th then we just postpone it to the next week; Qt 6.11.0 is the important release now
[17:16:05] <jaheikki3> Ok, it was all at this time so let's end this meeting now and have new one Tue 24th March at this same time
[17:16:15] <jaheikki3> Thanks for your participation, bye!
[17:16:19] <thiago> bye
[17:21:05] <vohi[M]> bye
