| sil2100 | o/ | 15:12 |
| sil2100 | So, this week I've been mostly busy with CI Train landing coordination and fighting with various issues we had from the landings we made | 15:12 |
| sil2100 | On Friday we landed a big feature, the split-out greeter from unity8, which generally caused many issues arising in our test infrastructure and image quality | 15:13 |
| sil2100 | Long story short, this got fixed, but now we're still battling the results of another buggy landing - the upstart-app-launch rename to ubuntu-app-launch, which seems to have caused some issues | 15:14 |
| sil2100 | In the meantime I also fixed some of the minor bugs in citrain code that we had and worked on some new features, like auto-updating changelog messages if there are dependency changes present | 15:15 |
| sil2100 | This can be disabled and tries to be smart | 15:15 |
| sil2100 | There were some more minor things going on, but probably got lost in my mind in-between the big firefighting we've been doing | 15:15 |
| sil2100 | Just as a final note: | 15:15 |
| sil2100 | We will be entering the so called TRAINCON-0 mode today again because there has been no promotions lately | 15:16 |
| robru | ooooh | 15:16 |
| sil2100 | So this will mean that landings will be slowed down a bit | 15:16 |
| sil2100 | Ok, I think that's all o/ | 15:16 |

| slangasek | [TOPIC] UOS | 15:34 |
| === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: UOS | ||
| slangasek | next week is the Ubuntu Online Summit (formerly vUDS) | 15:34 |
| slangasek | http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1406 | 15:34 |
| slangasek | everyone, please: | 15:34 |
| slangasek | a) make sure you're registered for it | 15:35 |
| slangasek | b) figure out if there are any sessions you want to propose for the week | 15:35 |
| slangasek | the format is being changed somewhat this time; you're encouraged to use it not just for discussion sessions, but for also presenting things that may already be decided but haven't been communicated out to the community | 15:36 |
| * jodh wonders if someone should change the registration default from attending physically :) | 15:36 | |
| cjwatson | this is guiding towards registering in summit rather than in LP as before; is that right? | 15:36 |
| slangasek | (so e.g., things from Malta that we're definitely doing the work on and don't need discussion on because everything's clear, but we should let the community know we're doing) | 15:36 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: uh, not sure, sorry | 15:36 |
| xnox | cjwatson: i had to register twice. | 15:37 |
| xnox | once in launchpad and once in the "summit django" | 15:37 |
| cjwatson | joy, ok | 15:37 |
| xnox | i'm not sure if the two are linked anymore. | 15:37 |
| slangasek | I seem to remember having to register twice in the past | 15:37 |
| xnox | was summit rewritten again or something?! | 15:37 |
| slangasek | not that I've seen :) | 15:37 |
| slangasek | (if it has, I guess I'll get a rude awakening when I try to merge upstream for DebConf) | 15:38 |
| slangasek | so currently, sessions proposed for UOS are going into some kind of limbo that I can't schedule from | 15:38 |
| slangasek | I'll work with mhall119 to get that figured out today | 15:38 |
| slangasek | in the meantime, aside from http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1406/track/development/, the only session I know about that's pending is "system-images on !phone" | 15:39 |
| slangasek | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/development-1406-server-system-images | 15:39 |
| slangasek | maybe that gives y'all ideas of other things that need scheduled | 15:39 |
| slangasek | (or if not, I'll come around and let you know what you should talk about instead ;) | 15:40 |
| slangasek | questions? | 15:40 |

| caribou | thanks | 15:44 |
| mhall119 | slangasek: you still can't schedule anything? | 15:48 |
| slangasek | mhall119: no, I don't have any of the links to do so | 15:48 |
| slangasek | I was looking at http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1406/review/ | 15:48 |
| mhall119 | slangasek: are you logged in? Does it display the correct username in the top of the page? | 15:48 |
| slangasek | which I can load but am also not given a link to anywhere | 15:48 |
| slangasek | yes | 15:48 |
| mhall119 | slangasek: it's not in /review/ because it's already approved | 15:48 |
| slangasek | ok, fine | 15:48 |
| slangasek | but I still don't have any links for scheduling | 15:49 |
| mhall119 | what links do you have in the "Quick Links" box? | 15:49 |
| slangasek | I don't have that box ;) | 15:49 |
| mhall119 | but you're logged in? | 15:50 |
| slangasek | yes | 15:50 |
| mhall119 | what username does it display? | 15:50 |
| slangasek | 'vorlon' | 15:50 |
| mhall119 | slangasek: can you take a screenshot of http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1406/ for me? | 15:51 |
| slangasek | mhall119: hmm, need to figure out how to do that without PrintScreen | 15:53 |
| slangasek | (since I have a goofy Lenovo keyboard and have summarily remapped that key) | 15:53 |
| mhall119 | slangasek: alt+F2: gnome-screenshot | 15:54 |
| slangasek | gnome-screenshot -i, methinks | 15:54 |
| mhall119 | if you want interactive, sure :-P | 15:54 |
| slangasek | mhall119: http://people.canonical.com/~vorlon/no-really-im-logged-in.png | 15:55 |
| cjwatson | ok, for a change that ADSL outage was because somebody knocked a cable loose | 15:56 |
| cjwatson | sigh | 15:56 |
| mhall119 | slangasek: you are somehow getting a mobile-friendly version of the site, no menu items and no Quick Links | 16:01 |
| mhall119 | but that shouldn't happen when there's still space on the sites like your screenshot shows | 16:02 |
| mhall119 | slangasek: in the short term can you increase the width of your browser window? | 16:03 |
| mhall119 | anything above 960px should bring that box back | 16:06 |
| slangasek | mhall119: hahahathat's horrible | 16:07 |
| slangasek | ok | 16:07 |
| mhall119 | slangasek: yeah, I don't remember who did that code,I think it was aquarius | 16:07 |
| slangasek | right, have the quicklinks now, thanks | 16:07 |
| mhall119 | I can blame him anyway | 16:07 |

| dholbach | how are you all doing? | 17:01 |
| elfy | pretty good thanks dholbach | 17:01 |
| YokoZar | Good day folks | 17:01 |
| dholbach | Who do we have here from the Ubuntu GNOME team and from the Ubuntu Core Apps/Phone folks? | 17:01 |
| dholbach | #startmeeting | 17:01 |

| dholbach | ok, let's start with the Ubuntu GNOME team then :) | 17:02 |

| meetingology | Current chairs: YokoZar czajkowski dholbach elfy pleia2 | 17:03 |
| amjjawad | dholbach, hi, thanks for asking I'm trying to be in good shape ... hope all is okay at your end :) | 17:03 |
| dholbach | amjjawad, yep, all's good - thanks... did you bring anyone else from the Ubuntu GNOME team? :) | 17:04 |
| dholbach | how are things going with Ubuntu GNOME? how was the 14.04 release? | 17:04 |
| === vladk|offline is now known as vladk | ||
| amjjawad | Sadly, I did not. Tim is our head of developers but he is +10 GMT so he is sleeping right now | 17:04 |
| dholbach | ah yes, that makes a lot of sense :) | 17:04 |
| amjjawad | Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS was a huge success. At first, it was not yet confirmed whether we should go for an LTS release or not. But we didn't give up and we have done all what we could to gain the title. | 17:05 |
| elfy | well done :) | 17:06 |
| amjjawad | Ubuntu GNOME was showing a huge improvement lately. I joined the team in July 2013 coming from 2-years with Lubuntu Team. | 17:06 |
| dholbach | Brilliant... did that leave you with any work for 14.10 or are things nice and easy now? :-) | 17:06 |
| amjjawad | My first challenge was to create a Wiki Area for Ubuntu GNOME which wasn't there. There was only one page. Now, we do have a full Wiki System. | 17:06 |
| amjjawad | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/OneStopPage | 17:06 |
| amjjawad | elfy, thanks :) | 17:07 |
| YokoZar | I just wanted to say that there's been a bit of a rift between upstream Gnome and Ubuntu since Unity, and you are one of our best hopes for bridging that and bringing the best software to users. Thank you. | 17:07 |
| amjjawad | dholbach, we have put so much effort into 14.10 and I'm planning now as the other leader of Ubuntu GNOME to focus on the look and feel this cycle. | 17:07 |
| amjjawad | YokoZar, thanks :) | 17:07 |
| amjjawad | by the way, we do have a bit of problem with our users. Not all are happy :( | 17:08 |
| amjjawad | it is due to the fact that Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME can't use the latest GNOME version by default. It seems most of the users are looking for the latest release. | 17:08 |
| dholbach | amjjawad, I noticed for example that gnome-settings-daemon could now be updated again since many unity-related changes could be dropped (standard Ubuntu uses a forked version now) | 17:09 |
| amjjawad | I wrote this to clear things up: http://ubuntugnome.org/gnome-3-12/ | 17:09 |
| dholbach | amjjawad, do you know of any other modules which can't be updated? | 17:09 |
| amjjawad | dholbach, if truth to be told, I handle everything within Ubuntu GNOME team except Artwork and Technical stuff | 17:10 |
| amjjawad | so I can't state anything unless I'm 100% sure | 17:10 |
| dholbach | amjjawad, ok... I was just wondering if these are issues which are worked out with the Desktop team | 17:10 |
| dholbach | sure, I didn't want you to start speculating :) | 17:11 |
| YokoZar | Yes, I'm particularly interested in cases where we basically forked gnome but still kept the package as "gnome-whatever" rather than splitting it off into a separate unity-specific one, as such things basically aren't Gnome but are blocking us from having a newer Gnome :) | 17:11 |
| amjjawad | Tim is the best one to answer this and sadly, he's not here | 17:11 |
| dholbach | in any case, I'm sure Tim knows the relevant desktop team members, but I'm happy to liaise if necessary | 17:11 |
| YokoZar | We don't need to discuss technical details too much, but it's a sort of thing that happened mainly because we as a distro were being a bit careless | 17:11 |
| amjjawad | Yes, I'll send him the log so if there is anything, he will contact the correct team for that :) thanks a lot for offering your help and support | 17:11 |
| dholbach | YokoZar, well... things like that happen if you have tight deadlines, etc. | 17:12 |
| amjjawad | dholbach, I agree | 17:12 |
| amjjawad | the 6-month cycle is a burden if truth to be told. | 17:12 |
| amjjawad | at first, you think you have the whole time and suddenly, you find out that you don't have enough time so things at the last month will be really crazy | 17:12 |
| amjjawad | but I guess that is the fun part of it :) | 17:13 |
| dholbach | I merely asked the question to see if there are known problems and if the CC can help with anything | 17:13 |
| dholbach | yeah, that's right :) | 17:13 |
| amjjawad | what also worth to mention that a year ago, Ubuntu GNOME had no sub-teams but now, we have full set of sub-teams :) | 17:13 |
| dholbach | amjjawad, did you see any enthusiasts in your user community who were interested in helping out in any way? | 17:14 |
| cprofitt | amjjawad: I enjoy Ubuntu gnome and want to that you and your team for putting the flavor together | 17:14 |
| amjjawad | dholbach, the CC people are doing an outstanding job so I'm 100& sure if there is anything, you won't be late :D | 17:14 |
| amjjawad | dholbach, one of my tasks is recruiting :D just like I did with Lubuntu | 17:15 |
| amjjawad | please see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GettingInvolved | 17:15 |
| YokoZar | Has Ubuntu's (or Gnome's) release cadence crept slightly to make basing off newest Gnome in the future too difficult? | 17:15 |
| amjjawad | I keep this area as simple as possible and I always invite people to join and we're having many interested people to join and help :D | 17:15 |
| amjjawad | cprofitt, thanks a lot :) glad you like our system :D | 17:16 |
| dholbach | that looks very nice | 17:16 |
| dholbach | are you going to have a session at Ubuntu Open Summit next week? :) | 17:16 |
| amjjawad | by the way, I also applied for GNOME membership and got it :D | 17:16 |
| * mhall119 hugs dholbach for asking that :) | 17:16 | |
| dholbach | mhall119, ^ I thought you'd plug this much earlier :-) | 17:16 |
| amjjawad | Sure, that would be a pleasure. Is this going to be on Google hangout? | 17:16 |
| mhall119 | dholbach: I was being patient ;) | 17:16 |
| dholbach | haha | 17:17 |
| dholbach | mhall119, that'd be a first | 17:17 |
| mhall119 | amjjawad: yes, Google+ on-air hangout with questions over IRC | 17:17 |
| amjjawad | Nice :D | 17:17 |
| amjjawad | I always enjoy that with balloons | 17:17 |
| mhall119 | amjjawad: there are 3 tracks that might be of interest to you guys: | 17:17 |
| dholbach | amjjawad, yes, all sessions are hangouts and you can either (or both) do a demo session or a planning session - as you like it - http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2014/05/28/calling-for-ubuntu-online-summit-sessions/ has all the details | 17:17 |
| amjjawad | and it's been awhile since I have done one | 17:17 |
| mhall119 | 1) Ubuntu Development: where you can talk about how Ubuntu GNOME is put together, make plans for the 14.10 release, etc | 17:17 |
| mhall119 | 2) Community: Where you can tell people how and where to get involved | 17:18 |
| amjjawad | I've been sick lately and so weak so didn't catch up with all my emails. However, I'm charing now so should be back to my full power again hopefully soon :D | 17:18 |
| pleia2 | amjjawad: glad you're on the mend | 17:18 |
| mhall119 | 3) Users: Where you can show off your work, tell people the benefits of it, share tips and tricks to make using it easier/more productive, etc | 17:18 |
| mhall119 | we would very much like to get more Users track sessions in | 17:18 |
| amjjawad | pleia2, hi and thanks :) I'm trying to be back to action asap :D | 17:19 |
| dholbach | amjjawad, excellent - good to hear your well again | 17:19 |
| dholbach | maybe a demo session and some public planning at UOS will attract some more helpers to the team :) | 17:19 |
| amjjawad | mhall119, I'm not 100% sure about #1 but #2 and #3 look very interesting :) | 17:19 |
| amjjawad | dholbach, thanks a lot :) you have been a great help before with something related to Lubuntu | 17:20 |
| amjjawad | and all of you are great people if truth to be told | 17:20 |
| mhall119 | amjjawad: we would love to have them, UOS is next week though so we'll need to get them confirmed quickly, do you think you can pull some strings within the Ubuntu GNOME developers and community to see who could run them? | 17:20 |
| amjjawad | dholbach, yes, we're planning to change our website, and focus on the look and feel this release and also carry on with inviting more people to join us | 17:20 |
| mhall119 | amjjawad: http://uds.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/propose-a-session/ has instructions for proposing the session, or you can ask dholbach, pleia2 or myself for help if you need it | 17:21 |
| amjjawad | mhall119, sure thing, how much time do I have? 2-3 days? | 17:21 |
| mhall119 | amjjawad: first day is June 10, next Tuesday | 17:21 |
| mhall119 | sessions are 1 hour long, you can have as many as you need | 17:21 |
| amjjawad | I'm sorry, I mean when should I get back to you about who will be in beside me | 17:22 |
| mhall119 | amjjawad: today or tomorrow if at all possible, so we can get the schedule finished | 17:22 |
| amjjawad | I'll make sure to confirm with my team and get back to you but where should I send the email? or just contact anyone of you? | 17:22 |
| amjjawad | Okay, I will set my turbo mode then :D | 17:22 |
| mhall119 | amjjawad: if you follow the instructions I linked to above we'll see it when it comes into summit.ubuntu.com | 17:23 |
| mhall119 | thanks amjjawad :) | 17:23 |
| amjjawad | mhall119, I will bookmark the link and you're more than welcome :D | 17:23 |
| dholbach | amjjawad, do you have regular meetings within the team? | 17:23 |
| amjjawad | dholbach, I just sent today a proposal to have weekly meeting. This is the only thing that we so far failed to do :( | 17:24 |
| amjjawad | mainly, because Tim's time zone. | 17:24 |
| dholbach | of course, that makes sense | 17:24 |
| amjjawad | While I handle the non-dev stuff, it is highly important for him to cover the dev stuff | 17:24 |
| amjjawad | so, we mainly focus on the mailing list | 17:24 |
| dholbach | I hope you get around to organising it still, somehow | 17:24 |
| amjjawad | Yes, I'll put so much effort into this until I find a way to have a weekly meetings | 17:24 |
| amjjawad | this will reduce the time of waiting for a reply. | 17:25 |
| dholbach | Does anyone still have questions for Ali? | 17:25 |
| amjjawad | But I must say that Tim is the best developer that I have ever worked with for my 3-4 years within Ubuntu Communities | 17:25 |
| YokoZar | Speaking from a weekly meeter, I will definitely say it helps | 17:25 |
| amjjawad | He is always there when I need anything from him | 17:25 |
| dholbach | thanks a lot for putting Ubuntu GNOME together, so thanks a bunch for your hard work on it | 17:25 |
| amjjawad | YokoZar, big time yes | 17:25 |
| amjjawad | I'm also trying to get Ubuntu GNOME involves more with StartUbuntu | 17:26 |
| elfy | dholbach: not from me - I'm fine | 17:26 |
| amjjawad | dholbach, thanks a lot for all your support | 17:26 |
| mhall119 | amjjawad: you guys are doing great work, I'm so glad to see GNOME getting this much attention and support again | 17:26 |
| amjjawad | all in all, Ubuntu GNOME is doing great but we need a lot more ... I can't stay still :D | 17:26 |
| pleia2 | glad to hear it | 17:27 |
| amjjawad | mhall119, thanks a lot, appreciate that. We have small but active and great community | 17:27 |
| amjjawad | pleia2, thanks a lot and you have been a great support for StartUbuntu too | 17:27 |
| amjjawad | we hope to carry on with the good work | 17:27 |
| amjjawad | and above all, make our users as happy as possible | 17:27 |
| pleia2 | indeed! | 17:28 |
| amjjawad | we can't make them all happy :D that's not possible as you know but if we could make the most of them happy, that is the target. | 17:28 |
| dholbach | amjjawad, all right... thanks a lot for coming to the meeting - keep up the good work! :) | 17:29 |
| amjjawad | I also enjoyed now and in the past to work with some of you and it is all great experience. Such experience is doing wonders in real life and with different other projects related to FOSS | 17:29 |

| === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Catching up with the Ubuntu Phone and Ubuntu Core Apps folks | ||
| amjjawad | dholbach, thanks a million for you and everyone else for reading and for your time - much appreciated | 17:30 |
| dholbach | mhall119, do you have a list of people we could ping? :-) | 17:30 |
| mhall119 | popey | 17:30 |
| mhall119 | :) | 17:30 |
| amjjawad | balloons, hey, will catch up with you very soon hopefully | 17:30 |
| popey | oh hai | 17:30 |
| pleia2 | hey popey | 17:30 |
| mhall119 | popey: CC meeting to check in on the new app dev community and see how things are going | 17:30 |
| balloons | amjjawad, I've been following along.. Stay focused on yourself.. get healthy! | 17:30 |
| YokoZar | Hello popey | 17:31 |
| popey | Hi all. | 17:31 |
| elfy | hi popey | 17:31 |
| amjjawad | balloons, will sure do, thanks a lot | 17:31 |
| popey | How much pre-amble do you want? ☻ | 17:31 |
| mhall119 | popey: do you want to invite anybody in #ubuntu-app-devel in to this channel? | 17:31 |
| dholbach | I'm sure there's a lot of other phone/*-apps folks in here who are currently lurking and who have an opinion | 17:31 |
| mhall119 | s/anybody/everybody/ | 17:31 |
| dholbach | what is everyone's feeling about how things are going for a community which doesn't have an official device out there yet? :) | 17:32 |
| popey | We certainly can. I didn't put a call out because I didn't realise it was open to all. | 17:32 |
| popey | Wow, there's a setup. | 17:32 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 17:32 |
| popey | Ok, so we started with zero developers and a call for people to contribute to core apps | 17:33 |
| popey | Core apps being some of the things we ship on the developer phone image, but which may or may not end up on a "real" phone image later in the year | 17:33 |
| popey | nik90: is one of our developers, welcome nik90 | 17:33 |
| popey | We put a call out and lots of people replied | 17:33 |
| nik90 | popey: hi everyone | 17:34 |
| elfy | hi nik90 | 17:34 |
| popey | We have a small but focussed team working on the core apps | 17:34 |
| mhall119 | hi nik90 | 17:34 |
| popey | some of them were recently invited to a canonical sprint in malta | 17:34 |
| popey | which went very well, for numerous reasons. They all got to meet eachother, us, other teams (sdk, design, online services) etc | 17:34 |
| popey | And really sparked memories of UDS of yore. | 17:34 |
| popey | Everyone in a room together collaborating on getting stuff done. | 17:35 |
| popey | I think it helped to bring everyone together like that. | 17:35 |
| mhall119 | so the Core Apps project is a new kind of collaboration between Canonical and Community, it's very much directed and integrated with the internal teams and objectives, but it's also entirely done in the open and almost entirely by community contributors | 17:35 |
| nik90 | The malta sprint was amazing. Got to meet all the people you have been working with for more than a year. | 17:35 |
| popey | Indeed, it's very different from anything we've done before. | 17:35 |
| popey | Previously Ubuntu would pull together apps from the free software world and package it together. | 17:35 |
| pleia2 | it's great to see that some community members were able to make it to a sprint, I know a lot of folks are really missing that face time | 17:35 |
| popey | Now we're making our own apps | 17:36 |
| mhall119 | I think we (Canonical's Community team here) have learned a lot from the Core Apps, that we can apply to future collaborations with the community | 17:36 |
| popey | The only negative thing I have to say (which could be spun positively if I were that way inclined) would be that I wish we had more people like nik90 ☻ | 17:36 |
| nik90 | lol | 17:37 |
| popey | We just don't have enough resources. Finding great self-directed qml / js developers and designers is _hard_ | 17:37 |
| dholbach | mhall119, popey, nik90: do you see things which could have gone better? ie being aware of upcoming design / platform changes or stuff like that? | 17:37 |
| mhall119 | who wasn't even one of the original core apps devs, if I recall, he picked up the Clock when it didn't have any active developers anymore and then become one of the top leaders of the Core Apps project itself | 17:37 |
| YokoZar | I'm particularly interested in things we might be able to fix due to communication | 17:38 |
| mhall119 | dholbach: recruitment was hard, and still is, we've had a lot of the initial developers leave before the apps were done and have had to keep recruiting more | 17:38 |
| popey | The top 3 things on my wishlist are:- More (excellent) designers to design beautiful apps. More developers to implement the apps. Improvements to the SDK to make the previous one easier to do. | 17:38 |
| mhall119 | I'd +1 that | 17:39 |
| popey | YokoZar: In terms of communication... | 17:39 |
| nik90 | YokoZar: I think the recent engineering ubuntu-on-air hangouts really help the community members know what's going on. Thats quite a improvement from before | 17:39 |
| popey | We have weekly IRC meetings with the team, although more recently we switched to hangouts. | 17:39 |
| mhall119 | having a bigger/stronger/active-er(?) design community would have helped many times over the past year | 17:39 |
| popey | and as nik90 says we have also a cross-app hangout on air regularly to collaborate, sync up, announce, call for help etc | 17:39 |
| dholbach | nice... the cross-app hangout sounds like a good idea | 17:40 |
| popey | Yeah, nik90 was mainly behind that and has been driving it. | 17:40 |
| mhall119 | having the core apps devs in Malta to sit down at the same table as the Canonical designers seemed to really help open up that communication channel too | 17:40 |
| popey | Same with SDK! | 17:40 |
| nik90 | mhall119: +1 | 17:40 |
| popey | nik90 brought a list of topics to discuss with the SDK guys. | 17:40 |
| mhall119 | well, we won't mention "The List" | 17:40 |
| mhall119 | or, maybe we will.... | 17:40 |
| popey | The core apps developers are really the first users of the SDK | 17:41 |
| nik90 | I think all the members who attended the sprint can now comfortably ping the SDK, platform canonical employees on IRC and discuss stuff freely. | 17:41 |
| popey | They are finding all kinds of issues, and reporting them professionally to the SDk team. | 17:41 |
| mhall119 | at any rate, I think the communication channels there will remain much improved because of that face time | 17:41 |
| popey | without them using the SDK on a daily basis we wouldn't be where we are. That feedback has been invaluable. | 17:41 |
| mhall119 | +1000 on that | 17:41 |
| popey | Also welcome ahayzen_ who is one of the developer on our awesome Music app. | 17:41 |
| ahayzen_ | o/ | 17:41 |
| nik90 | hey andrew | 17:41 |
| popey | ahayzen_: I realise you've only just arrived, we're just saying how awesome you are, no biggie ㋛ | 17:42 |
| dholbach | and in general... what do you feel are the things which could be improved from an organisational point of view? where do you feel it's still hard for somebody to join the community? | 17:42 |
| ahayzen_ | popey, heh thanks you guys are more awesome though :) | 17:42 |
| popey | One thing we have tried to do is increase the velocity of getting merges landed in trunk | 17:42 |
| cprofitt | all sounds very good popey | 17:43 |
| popey | We have had some lounge around for weeks, and not get landed. That is being addressed. We're constantly on top of them to make sure blockers are unblocked, and fixes land in the phone image | 17:43 |
| mhall119 | dholbach: I think it's just a general case now of motivating people do contribute to these projects, maybe focusing on providing some low-hanging fruit for the casual contributor to get started on | 17:43 |
| popey | We have also had some drive-by contributions | 17:43 |
| popey | It's great to see new people come by and fix bitesize bugs | 17:44 |
| ahayzen_ | the hardest thing for somebody joining is trying to find where to start within a coreapp | 17:44 |
| popey | and we try to encourage them to continue to contribute | 17:44 |
| popey | but it's difficult to do that without pouncing on them and scaring them away | 17:44 |
| popey | (we have done that) | 17:44 |
| dholbach | do we have drive-by contributions to Ubuntu phone (apart from the core apps) as well? | 17:44 |
| popey | I don't know the answer to that. | 17:45 |
| popey | I did a drive by contribution to the SDK recently after someone mentioned to me on irc that something was broken, if that counts ㋛ | 17:45 |
| popey | We also lose some people. | 17:45 |
| popey | We don't do "exit interviews" so it's hard to know exactly why people leave | 17:45 |
| mhall119 | dholbach: getting things into the SDK proper is more challenging, because any additions need to go through design and approval | 17:46 |
| mhall119 | specifically any new APIs | 17:46 |
| popey | Sometimes it's the usual family reasons, people getting busy with real life, which is of course perfectly acceptable. | 17:46 |
| popey | Other times it's more serious - one of the core apps developers is in Ukraine, where things are "tense" right now. | 17:46 |
| dholbach | oh... not only into the SDK - I was more wondering about other parts of what "make the phone" | 17:46 |
| popey | I honestly don't know. I don't look at the merges for parts of the stack I am not responsible for really. | 17:47 |
| mhall119 | dholbach: I think those are just more technically challenging, there's a lot of pieces that all have to work together | 17:47 |
| popey | What I have encouraged people to do is just test the apps out and email me directly when they have a problem | 17:47 |
| YokoZar | drive-by contributions are fantastic, yet surprisingly rare in a lot of open source | 17:48 |
| popey | to overcome the friction barrier of bug filing | 17:48 |
| mhall119 | dholbach: I'd like to improve the onramp to contributing to Unity 8,but that's out of scope for this topic | 17:48 |
| popey | Sometimes people don't know if a problem is a bug or a design feature. | 17:48 |
| nik90 | The hackathons were awesome in getting drive-by contributions | 17:48 |
| popey | Yes! | 17:48 |
| nik90 | we should keep continuing that tradition | 17:48 |
| popey | Hackathons were good for identifying and fixing bitesize bugs | 17:48 |
| popey | I'd like us to have an in-person hackathon at some point too, maybe in London. | 17:49 |
| nik90 | the thing with contributing to unity 8 or other "system apps" is that the designs are not out there like the core apps designs for instance | 17:49 |
| popey | True. | 17:49 |
| popey | They are there if you ask. | 17:49 |
| popey | But you have to go and ask for them. | 17:49 |
| ahayzen_ | nik90, i started contributing the music-app from one of those hackweeks ... otherwise i wouldn't be here | 17:49 |
| nik90 | ahayzen_: ooh I didnt know that..I believe riccardo also started like that | 17:50 |
| ahayzen_ | +1 to hackathons | 17:50 |
| popey | Ok, thats good feedback, I'll get another one organised! | 17:50 |
| mhall119 | nik90: I think it more a case of the designs not existing at all, not just not being public | 17:51 |
| popey | We also want to reach out at other non-ubuntu events to try and recruit people to help on core apps. | 17:51 |
| nik90 | mhall119: true | 17:51 |
| popey | Thing is, design are very approachable, and if they have stuff they share it. | 17:51 |
| popey | But because they work differently from the rest of ubuntu (mostly in one office) their work patterns differ from ours | 17:52 |
| mhall119 | yeah, we just need more of them | 17:52 |
| popey | Where we share stuff over bzr with our friends in the community, they get up from their desk and walk over to another designer. | 17:52 |
| dholbach | do you have people helping out with testing of system and core apps regularly? | 17:52 |
| popey | We did find our regular hangouts with design team people were very helpful for the core apps developers | 17:52 |
| popey | dholbach: not formally. | 17:53 |
| popey | Well, that's not true | 17:53 |
| popey | We have a small team of "dogfooders" | 17:53 |
| popey | That's mostly me, davmor2 and toykeeper | 17:53 |
| popey | We test a bunch of the apps every day. | 17:53 |
| mhall119 | dholbach: by "testing" do you mean using, or running autopilot tests? | 17:53 |
| dholbach | I just thought that if I was interested, and had no idea what to do, I would probably say "I can test stuff and file bugs" | 17:53 |
| popey | But we don't cover every use case, we don't have people being monkeys, smacking things with hammers. | 17:53 |
| popey | One of the problems is that of hardware | 17:54 |
| popey | Testing Ubuntu desktop is easy, you can find a pc (or vm) to install it on | 17:54 |
| popey | With Ubuntu for phones, we really need on-device testing | 17:54 |
| nik90 | actually popey I am sure there are people out there who might not be able to code but might be interested in just testing stuff. We could help get started with the emulator and test core apps on that. | 17:54 |
| dholbach | so testing on an emulator is not much help? | 17:54 |
| popey | real world stuff like walking down the street picking up a call while listening to music and taking notes ☻ | 17:54 |
| popey | dholbach: not really. | 17:55 |
| popey | I mean, there's some testing you can do. | 17:55 |
| popey | But the real world stuff really needs a device | 17:55 |
| popey | and we are short on those internally, let alone externally | 17:55 |
| mhall119 | dholbach: I think that for the things we can write down for people to do, we can write an autopilot test to do automatically | 17:55 |
| popey | I frequently take my phone to the pub and hand it to people and ask them to play with it | 17:56 |
| popey | I also take a notebook and later file bugs on their behalf | 17:56 |
| mhall119 | I give it to kids :) | 17:56 |
| popey | some would say I do the same ㋛ | 17:56 |
| mhall119 | heh | 17:56 |
| dholbach | haha, great :-) | 17:56 |
| popey | But again it's hard if I have a phone logged in as me | 17:56 |
| popey | I dont want to hand a phone to someone which is signed into fb / twitter / gmail on my accounts | 17:57 |
| popey | so there's a bit of preparation required to anonymise the phone first | 17:57 |
| dholbach | sounds like we need a guest session for the phone ;-) | 17:57 |
| popey | so it's quite a bit of effort. | 17:57 |
| popey | haha! | 17:57 |
| mhall119 | having that Guest session on the phone would be helpful | 17:57 |
| nik90 | I thought u had more than 1 device popey | 17:57 |
| popey | i do | 17:57 |
| nik90 | among the lucky ones | 17:57 |
| popey | and thats still not enough! :D | 17:57 |
| nik90 | :) | 17:57 |
| dholbach | good work everyone :-) | 17:57 |
| popey | Any other questions from the cc? | 17:58 |
| dholbach | is there anything you feel the CC could generally help with? | 17:58 |
| popey | help us get more developers ☻ | 17:58 |
| dholbach | does anybody else still have any more questions? I'm all set | 17:58 |
| popey | Oh, another thing I didn't make clear... | 17:58 |
| dholbach | popey, do you have enough sessions at UOS which might attract new team members? :) | 17:58 |
| mhall119 | none from me | 17:58 |
| mhall119 | dholbach: he just got another email about that :) | 17:59 |
| popey | oh, nvm actually. | 17:59 |
| elfy | I'm good - was nice to be reading all that - thanks popey nik90 ahayzen_ | 17:59 |
| popey | dholbach: good idea. | 17:59 |
| * dholbach hugs you all | 17:59 | |
| mhall119 | or is about to, I havne't hit "send" yet | 17:59 |

| s-fox | Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu Membership Review Board for the 2200 UTC meeting for June 5, 2014. | 22:06 |
| s-fox | The wiki page for the Review Board is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards | 22:06 |
| s-fox | We will attempt to get through all of the applicants that have added themselves to that list before today's meeting. If we are unable to make it through the entire list due to time constraints, then at the next meeting we will pick up where we left off. | 22:06 |
| s-fox | The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO). | 22:06 |
| s-fox | Each applicant should introduce themselves (1-5 sentences) and provide links to their Ubuntu Wiki page. After the introduction the members of the Membership Review Board will review the pages and, if needed, ask the applicant further questions. | 22:06 |
| s-fox | During this time it is encouraged for other members of the community to show their support for the applicant. Do not be alarmed if the members of the Membership Review Board are quiet during this time; they are most likely reading wiki/launchpad/forum/other pages and deciding how they are going to vote. | 22:06 |
| s-fox | When the board is ready to vote, they will publicly vote in the channel with either +1, 0, or -1 (for membership, abstain, and against membership, respectively). If the sum of those numbers is positive, then the applicant is now an official Ubuntu member! (feel free congratulate them!) | 22:06 |

| s-fox | Alright, first up is spineau. Please introduce yourself :) | 22:07 |
| spineau | Hello, I'm Sylvain Pineau (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SylvainPineau). I live in France. I'm a perl/python developer and Ubuntu addict since 2006 | 22:07 |
| spineau | My contributions to the Ubuntu Community: | 22:07 |
| spineau | I'm one of the main developers of CheckBox (the System Testing application of Ubuntu) | 22:07 |
| spineau | I wrote several tests that have been used by the Ubuntu Friendly community project (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFriendly) | 22:07 |
| spineau | I led a session during vUDS 1311 detailing the plan to use a new core (http://plainbox.readthedocs.org) and a new UI built using the Ubuntu SDK (QML) for 14.04 | 22:07 |
| spineau | I also contributed to various test frameworks over the past years (Mago, Xpresser) to enhance the overall quality of Ubuntu releases | 22:08 |
| spineau | I'm a 10k+ user on Ask Ubuntu (http://askubuntu.com/users/32239/sylvain-pineau) where I (amongst other things) try to help people creating Ubuntu Touch applications using the SDK | 22:08 |
| spineau | I'm (so far :)) the top answerer in both QML and ubuntu-sdk tags (see http://askubuntu.com/tags/qml/topusers and http://askubuntu.com/tags/ubuntu-sdk/topusers) | 22:08 |
| spineau | 4 Ubuntu members left their testimonials (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SylvainPineau#Testimonials) but are not able to join us (different timezones, it's midnight here in CEST) | 22:08 |
