[07:25] <alourie|work> persia: thanks. I understand that. Are there plans to make qa.ubuntu.com something more than "some Canonical resources" holder?
[07:51] <persia> alourie|work: I doubt it.  It is nice that Canonical donates hardware and admin time, but we would not want to solely depend on a resource that only some folk could use.
[07:52] <persia> For some other resources, look at qa.ubuntuwire.com
[07:52] <alourie|work> persia: oh? why is it limited to only some folks?
[07:53] <persia> There are also some private resources, but these are less organised.
[07:54] <alourie|work> but it seems that qa.ubuntu.com is quite an official QA resource. Why not maintain it?
[07:54] <persia> There was an incident several years ago with having some *.ubuntu.com hosts managed by folk who were not careful enough, so Canonical IS has become very strict about what code can run on their machines.
[07:55] <persia> Oh, it is maintained, but only by Canonical folk.
[07:55] <alourie|work> ...and not for everyone? Only *for* Canonical folk?
[07:59] <persia> No.  The resources made available are for anyone to use, but the process of deploying code to the servers behind qa.ubuntu.com is limited.
[08:01] <persia> Note that this does not prevent arbitrary code from being deployed: it just needs to be advocated by someone at Canonical.
[08:25] <alourie|work> persia: so the question is if qa.ubuntu.com should be developed as "main" qa resource or not...and what are the future plans for it? Maybe ara knows :-)
[08:27] <persia> What?  Do you see a problem with the current structure that needs fixing?
[08:28] <persia> I think we shbould use as many resources as can be made available.  I also think we should use the wiki for team coordination, like all the other teams.
[08:59] <alourie|work> persia: oh, I don't object to having as much resources as possible...
[09:00] <alourie|work> it's just easier to understand the QA structure with qa.u.c I think
[09:00] <alourie|work> and purpose
[09:00] <alourie|work> but that's subjective
[09:27] <persia> alourie|work: I suspect there is work to be done to make everything a bit more clear: this is true for nearly every part of the project :)
[09:28] <persia> I'd just be concerned about setting a policy that said something like "all official resources must be hosted in this manner", as that restricts us.
[09:44] <alourie|work> persia: indeed so
[13:37] <primes2h> bdmurray: is there a page somewhere collecting all launchpad tags currently being used?
[13:39] <primes2h> bdmurray: I mean, bug report tags
[13:51] <charlie-tca> primes2h: there is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Tags, but it isn't all tags, since so many teams have their own tags in addition to these
[13:55] <primes2h> thanks a lot  charlie-tca, I thought there were a page with tags from all teams, but anyway, thanks for the info. :-)
[14:02] <charlie-tca> Keep hoping for such an organized page, but reality is when teams decide to create their own tags pages, they stop using that one, it seems.
