Thanks to CIB, who sponsored the
event with their office location, drinks and food, we again had a LibreOffice
Hackfest at Hamburg on Saturday/Sunday October 24/25, and a get-together on
Friday evening with the opportunity to meet also some long time colleagues
from Sun and Star.
My timeline:
followed a nice introduction to the help authoring extension held by
Regina Henschel, for how to install and use it see the documentation
in the wiki
changed our own implementation of rtl_math_{erf,erfc} to follow the
C++11 standard's specification for input of Inf and NaN
added unit tests for rtl_math_{erf,erfc,expm1,log1p}
replaced implementation of rtl_math_{erf,erfc} with ::std::{erf,erfc}
attended a Gerrit inline editing introduction by David Ostrovsky (yet
another time his favorite feature ;)
replaced implementation of rtl_math_{expm1,log1p} with ::std::{expm1,log1p}
dug with Regina into the help authoring extension to spot a place for
switching the license text written based on the difference between
existing and new file, but the convoluted agglomeration of template,
fields, Basic and XSLT and the license text being an XML comment in .xhp
didn't offer a quick and easy to spot solution, Kendy please take over ;)
But, as usual no new hacker was interested in diving into Calc core code..
maybe you at one of the next Hackfests?

To those who want to review, the slides of my talk at the LibreOffice Conference in Aarhus are available as PDF from the conference's assets or from my own materials folder. Most if not all presenters have made the slides of their talks available at the LibreOffice conference site, take a look at the individual program pages.
