[01:32] <ir0n0xid3> testing
[13:04] <djsiegel1> Hello, all.
[13:04] <djsiegel1> mpt is coming, his computer had to be restarted.
[13:05] <aday_> djsiegel1: hi :)
[13:06] <djsiegel1> Who's here for the ayatana-ux meeting?
[13:06]  * mgunes raises hand
[13:06] <aday_> me
[13:08] <djsiegel1> me
[13:09] <aday_> vish: ping!
[13:10] <mpt> Good morning sports fans
[13:10]  * vish just got back , will catch up with scrollback
[13:10] <aday_> mpt: morning
[13:10] <mpt> Hello aday_, mgunes, vish
[13:10] <mpt> and djsiegel1
[13:10] <mgunes> hi mpt, and all
[13:10] <mpt> So, a small short meeting today
[13:11] <mpt> ivanka apologizes that she's not here today, her brain is full
[13:12] <mpt> However, she did ask me to announce that the Launchpad team now have it on their roadmap to add the "UX advocate" field to Launchpad projects.
[13:12] <djsiegel1> Woo!
[13:12] <mpt> Once that's done, project maintainers will be able to specify in LP who their UX advocate is.
[13:12]  * mgunes apologizes for not being active in the team so far; his hands are full with work for the next two weeks, after which he hopes to get up to speed
[13:13] <mpt> And a few of us in Canonical have just been discussing how to publicize the idea.
[13:13] <aday_> the guadec bof of ux advocates has been timetabled: http://live.gnome.org/GUADEC/2010/BOFs/UserExperienceAdvocates
[13:13] <mpt> Sweet, thanks aday_
[13:14] <mpt> We want this to be something like the papercuts project -- something that open-source projects can adopt even if they have nothing to do with Ubuntu
[13:14] <mgunes> that's nice to hear. would be good to have a "circled ?" icon with a tooltip/link on what "UX" is near the UX Advocate field.
[13:15]  * mpt reads that guadec page
[13:15] <mgunes> aday_, how does remote participation work in GUADEC? Does it at all?
[13:15] <aday_> the main thing i want to do in that bof is get maintainers involved in the discussion
[13:16] <aday_> mgunes: i don't think we've had that in the past, unfortunately
[13:17] <mpt> Maybe we should invite Andreas Nilsson to join this team
[13:17] <aday_> mpt: good idea
[13:17] <mpt> Any objections? :-)
[13:17] <mgunes> of course not :)
[13:18] <mpt> ok, I'll mail him after the meeting
[13:18] <mpt> next
[13:18] <mpt> There's one design-related session from UDS that we didn't get time to discuss last week
[13:18] <mpt> And that was the idea of tagging usability-related bug reports in the bug tracker, with tags based on usability principles
[13:20] <mpt> For those of you who weren't at the session, this is based on something Mozilla is trying
[13:20] <mpt> You can read about it more here: http://uxmag.com/strategy/quantifying-usability
[13:20] <nigelbabu> @now
[13:21] <mpt> I don't remember the details of that UDS session, so I'll leave that until ivanka has time to explain it, maybe next week.
[13:21] <mpt> Is there anything else anyone would like to raise this week?
[13:23] <vish> wooho , UX advocate! +1 for andreasn ;)
[13:23] <mgunes> I'm wondering if any more of the UX-related sessions at UDS were videotaped
[13:24] <mgunes> (on top of those already available at video.ubuntu.com)
[13:24] <mpt> I didn't know (or had forgotten) that video.ubuntu.com exists
[13:24] <mpt> so I can't help you there, sorry
[13:25] <mpt> The Gobby documents probably still exist.
[13:25] <mgunes> mpt, check out the lovely video of Bruno Maag where he introduces the Ubuntu font, and the camera never points to the projection for 40+ minutes :)
[13:25] <vish> mgunes: http://ubuntudevelopers.blip.tv/file/3621745/, is for the fonts
[13:25] <vish> and there are a few other session that were recorded
[13:26] <mgunes> ah, I guess that's the one
[13:26] <vish> mgunes: not sure is video.ubuntu.com still exits , but blip tv is what is being used now
[13:26] <mgunes> vish, will check it out too, thanks
[13:27] <vish> mgunes: the slides >  http://www.daltonmaag.com/docs/FontDevelopment.pdf
[13:27] <vish> from Bruno's session^
[13:27] <mgunes> vish, I've gone through them; thanks
[13:28] <mpt> Ok, so nothing else to discuss today, let's end it there
[13:28] <mpt> though you're welcome to keep chatting :-)
[13:28] <mpt> Thanks everyone
[13:28] <vish> mgunes: as for the focus not bein at the screen , it kinda not possible unless we have dedicated cameramen ;)  those were just stationary cams on a stand :)
[13:28] <vish> mpt: thanks!
[13:29] <aday_> cheers all
[13:29] <mgunes> vish, I know; I can't blame anyone for not wanting to keep panning a camera while Mr. Maag is presenting..
[13:30] <mgunes> thanks everyone!
[13:35] <wers> hmm
[13:36] <wers> helloo
[13:36] <wers> mpt, is it done?
[13:36] <mpt> wers, yes, short meeting today
[13:37] <wers> ooh ok
[13:37] <wers> sorry was stuck in traffic
[13:40] <mpt> Sorry you missed it, wers-dinner, I'm posting out meeting notes now
[13:43] <mpt> mgunes, glad you made it. Maybe next week we could discuss how we can get UX ideas to/from the Ubuntu Forums?
[13:45] <mgunes> mpt, certainly. I'll actually post about that to the list, and we can expand the discussion further in the meeting.
[13:45] <mpt> cool, thanks
