I just stumbled into this. What is pad ^ 20:11 the reason why i'd like to have at least something documented is that then we have at least... something documented 20:11 I'm just concerned that time will drag on and I'll end up with less time to plan 20:11 mikodo: http://pad.ubuntu.com/xubuntu-qa-v-cycle 20:11 elfy, thx and hie 20:12 *hi 20:12 knome: yep - anyway I think move this to mailing list now to at least try and get *some* comment 20:13 I can get something to the list by the end of the week if that's the case 20:14 elfy, let's work with that on the pad then or sth, we have the same goal anyway 20:14 yea - but we really need -team to be in this as well imho 20:14 it does kind of say that they've got to test if asked :) 20:15 #action xubuntu-qa to continue working with v-cycle qa pad 20:15 * meetingology xubuntu-qa to continue working with v-cycle qa pad 20:15 #action elfy mail the -devel list to garner comment on pad 20:15 * meetingology elfy mail the -devel list to garner comment on pad 20:15 knome: does that work for you? 20:16 yep 20:16 moving on then 20:16 #ACTION: knome to move the "translations important for xubuntu" list to the processes page, discussion can continue when needed 20:16 * meetingology : knome to move the "translations important for xubuntu" list to the processes page, discussion can continue when needed 20:16 hasn't been done yet 20:16 did you get around to that ? 20:16 * slickymaster hides 20:17 slickymaster: were you doing that? 20:17 no elfy, it was knome who would do it 20:17 at least that's what was decided 20:18 I thought so - anyway if it's not done - we can move on I guess 20:18 but I can do it, if he doesn't mind 20:18 or lacks the time to 20:18 knome: ^^ you can pass the buck if you like :) 20:19 i'll do that today. 20:19 ok - thanks knome 20:19 np 20:19 thanks knome 20:20 np again ;) 20:20 there were a couple of -quality actions on the logs from last meeting, neither have been started - not had time this week 20:21 likewise -bugs were going to talk to -qa re a triage plan - even if they'd wanted to I'd not have had time this week :) 20:21 I *think* that's all the open action items 20:21 if anyone thinks differently - speak now or forever hold your peace :) 20:22 moving on then 20:22 # Team updates 20:23 # Topic Team updates 20:23 I mean 20:23 no space :) 20:23 #Topic Team updates 20:23 sigh :D 20:23 anyone got anything ? 20:23 other than me :p 20:24 #info unixstickers has sold plenty of Xubuntu items, so we just need to let them know what we want for the reward based QA program 20:24 thanks :) 20:25 #info unixstickers will also be producing t-shirts soon, production info here: http://www.unixstickers.com/tshirts/underground-t-shirts/the-ultimate-pirate-bay-tshirt 20:25 nothing from me 20:25 nope 20:25 quiet week 20:25 ok 20:25 #info Image testing has been better for the final image 20:26 #info upgrade tests though only have 1 result from me so ... 20:26 I did some final iso testing when I was at home, but won't be able to pitch in this week because hotel wifi, etc :\ 20:26 image testing show a considerable number of test though 20:27 #action Any -team member who can do an Upgrade test of some sort - appreciated - concentrate on the Upgrade rather than Upgrade(image) 20:27 * meetingology Any -team member who can do an Upgrade test of some sort - appreciated - concentrate on the Upgrade rather than Upgrade(image) 20:27 I can do it tomorroe in a VM 20:27 * tomorrow 20:27 I can do my laptop tonight 20:27 #Action xubuntu-team to watch tracker for respins - if they appear please test what you can 20:27 * meetingology xubuntu-team to watch tracker for respins - if they appear please test what you can 20:28 #action #xubuntu-qa to ping team in channel if they see respins appear 20:28 * meetingology #xubuntu-qa to ping team in channel if they see respins appear 20:28 nothing else from me 20:28 xubuntu-qa without # :P 20:28 #nick xubuntu-qa 20:28 #undo 20:28 Removing item from minutes: ACTION 20:28 #action xubuntu-qa to ping team in channel if they see respins appear 20:28 * meetingology xubuntu-qa to ping team in channel if they see respins appear 20:29 #topic Discussion 20:29 happy release week :D 20:29 #subtopic Xubuntu+1 support in #xubuntu 20:30 I've got a comment from ochosi earlier re that 20:30 elfy: i kinda second the xubuntu+1 support proposal 20:30 we can say we accept that after final beta, makes sense to me 20:31 the thinking here from me at least is that - we're trying to improve testing and #ubuntu+1 is a bit xubuntu light 20:31 and if we are pushing we ought to at least give people the chance to get some help 20:33 Sounds food. Better than sending people to #ubuntu+1 and having them get no support there 20:33 yea 20:33 dkessel, FOOD? 20:33 is the traffic too high in -devel to send the people here? 20:33 freudian slip - or it would be if I said it 20:33 and I'm the one eating :) 20:34 good I meant. Boo, autocomplete... 20:34 hehe 20:34 knome: better than getting people in the devel channel imo 20:34 oh ;) 20:34 dkessel, you have "food" in autocomplete? 20:35 lmao 20:35 but tbh I'm quite relaxed about where - just so long as it's a #xubuntu channel 20:35 #xubuntu+1 works, but then we should know how's going to op that channel 20:35 knome: Ask the Android dictionary makers... 20:36 knome: oh 20:36 I propose knome and elfy to op it 20:36 didn't know we had that 20:36 and Unit193, also 20:36 unless we didn't ... 20:36 elfy, we don't, but if we set that up... 20:37 oh right :) 20:37 and we'll have to see if the irc team wants to take the maintaining responsibility for that 20:37 mmm 20:37 or if it's just like -devel (more probable) 20:38 i can take care of that with Unit193 if we decide to go ahead with that 20:38 so how about going with #xubuntu towards the end of the V cycle 20:38 trouble with having a new channel is it's likely not to see many people who can actually help 20:38 probably 20:38 well, 20:38 that's my argument for -devel or the general ubuntu+1 channel 20:39 the only reason the likes of *most of us* don't in #xubuntu is because it's nto channel policy 20:39 which I ignore if it's something simple or quick ;) 20:39 people who'd be helping in #xubuntu+1 is probably the same people as here or #ubuntu+1 20:39 holstein for instance commented 20:40 (and it's one more channel) 20:40 knome: yea possibly - but I'm more likely to notice someone saying something in #xubuntufoo 20:40 that's true 20:40 but -devel 20:40 i understand it's not the ideal solution either 20:40 maybe we should simply vote? 20:41 on which :) 20:41 or both? 20:41 well, all options 20:41 can be even a non-technical vote 20:41 just say what you think is the best option 20:41 you mean vote on the ML? 20:41 no, in irc, right now 20:41 I'd start here 20:42 let's not make it too bureaucratic 20:42 just shout out which channel you'd like 20:42 (no need to start a #vote even) 20:42 ok - I'll start then 20:42 sure 20:42 i'm still thinking 20:42 * slickymaster waits his turn 20:44 vote for support in #xubuntu channel for dev version once Beta 1 is testing 20:44 +1 20:44 +0 20:44 * slickymaster votes for support in a yet to be created #xubuntu+1 channel 20:45 #xubuntu-devel for x+1 support after beta1 is out; second favorite #x+1 20:45 more channels make me meh, and people end up lurking in -devel and asking support questions once we open that up 20:45 pleia2, that's fair, but mixing people who whine about each small feature breaking and very clueless people in #x... 20:46 sounds perfect :D 20:46 sounds like more frustration for both the supporters and people seeking help 20:46 i can live with that 20:46 awesome 20:46 I worry that we'll just spend half our time redirecting people to the right channel 20:46 but i'll tell you it'll be hard to police that "after beta 1 is out" rule 20:47 apparently even -devel vs support is hard for a lot of folks ;P 20:47 pleia2, that hasn't been a problem so far 20:47 so we've got half a dozen different ideas and still no further forward 20:47 elfy: yeah, how's that beer? 20:47 cold :) 20:48 i'd just go with elfy's suggestion if ochosi wasn't +1 on +1 20:48 ok - so it's now 21:47 here - executive decision is now that 20:48 we could just try out one suggestion and see how it goes 20:48 thanks elfy 20:49 #action Elfy to mail -devel re where we support testers 20:49 * meetingology Elfy to mail -devel re where we support testers 20:49 let's go with +1 support on #xubuntu agter beta then 20:49 elfy, well that's different 20:49 testers should be supported in -devel 20:49 good lord 20:49 people who just install +1 and ask a support question not :P 20:50 mmmm 20:50 i'm sorry for nitpicking :P 20:50 that's a matter of semantics 20:50 but the difference is that testers are useful for us 20:50 someone running +1 IS testing ;) 20:50 how can you tell the difference? 20:50 then we should support them here and make them report tests. 20:50 ali1234, see if they've submitted iso/package testing results. 20:50 ali1234: I guess we can see if reports are being made 20:50 yea 20:50 i never do that 20:51 ali1234, shame on you. 20:51 ali1234, you should. 20:51 i don't even understand how it is useful 20:51 reports go there to die 20:51 ali1234, i'll PM you 20:51 * elfy will still mail the list 20:52 #subtopic Decide on Trello or Launchpad 20:52 so 20:52 I've not got the energy to even go here tbh - I really don't care what we do 20:52 i still don't mind which one we use, as long as we only use one 20:53 i'm leaning towards launchpad because it has the real-time bug status synergy. 20:53 I don't look at trello much, it's just not in my workflow :( 20:53 launchpad emails me <3 20:53 both mail me pleia2 ;) 20:53 and launchpad is open source :D 20:54 anyway - I'm happy to do whatever we decide as a team 20:54 last cycle website was on a blueprint - from what I can see , that's not made it to anything this cycle 20:55 any point in doing anything like a vote with this? 20:55 oops :( 20:56 i think that and the situation with testing just reflects how much away people have been this cycle 20:57 I'm quite happy to just go back to using launchpad 20:57 anybody disagrees? 20:57 nah 20:57 I've been away more than normal 20:58 same here; in comparison to the trusty cycle, much more 20:59 I do know that ochosi will be wanting team leads to do their own blueprints 20:59 which is fair enough 20:59 absolutely. 20:59 they are the only ones who know what the goals for the cycle are anyway 20:59 yep 20:59 and/or are laying them out 21:00 if nobody disagrees to returning to LP, let's move on 21:00 somebody wants to send an email to the list, or just 3info it? 21:00 the other 2 discussion items we've dealt with afaik 21:00 . #info too.. 21:01 #info return to using launchpad, team leads to set out their blueprints 21:01 #info Trello can be used by subteams if they feel it's useful for them, but all general cooperation should go through LP 21:02 ok, let's move on 21:02 #announcements 21:02 Release in 2 days \o/ 21:02 yep, and no critical bugs :) 21:02 anyone got any others 21:02 indeed :) 21:02 good work everybody who did even a small bit 21:03 ^^^ 21:03 #Schedule next meeting 21:03 ochosi is up next for that 21:03 #endmeeting
