pleia2knome: re: translations list email, is that https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2014-October/010427.html ?20:05
pleia2that's the last action item from last meeting20:05
* knome checks20:05
knomeyes, that's the thread20:05
slickymasterWorkyeaps20:05
slickymasterWorkthe pad is over at http://pad.ubuntu.com/xubuntu-apps-translations20:05
knomeand the pad is linked in the mail too20:05
slickymasterWorkmaybe it could be moved to the process page now20:05
knomeyep, we have an agenda item for that20:06
slickymasterWorkokie dokie20:06
knomeso maybe you both should read the meetings page ;)20:06
slickymasterWorkwill you do it knome?20:06
knomei will20:06
slickymasterWorklol20:06
* slickymasterWork has been having a hell of a day20:06
slickymasterWorkstill working :P20:06
pleia2heh20:07
pleia2alright, that's all the action items20:07
pleia2#topic Team updates20:07
pleia2I don't think I've done anything20:07
knome#done knome has worked on improving the process documentation20:07
skellat#info skellat has continued AskUbuntu patrol and the question mis-tagging where xubuntu is tagged instead of something else remains fairly high20:08
elfy#info Testing is still in the doldrums20:08
elfy#info RC testing isn't likely to be around till the weekend earliest20:08
skellat#info skellat and brainwash have been doing bug sorting/reassignments20:09
knome#done knome has been working with elfy et al. planning the QA processes and improvements for the V cycle and beyond20:09
skellatVictorious Velociraptor!20:10
pleia2so, any other updates?20:12
knomehmm20:12
knome#done bluesabre has uploaded some translation updates and bugfixes for packages20:13
knomei think that's it20:13
knomewe're past pretty much all freezes, so quiet20:13
pleia2ok, let's have some discussion!20:13
pleia2#topic Translations important for Xubuntu20:13
knomehttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2014-October/010427.html20:13
pleia2#link https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2014-October/010427.html20:13
knomethis is the discussion20:13
knomehas anybody anything else to add, or should we move the list to the processes page as is (remember, it's easy enough to update)20:14
slickymasterWork IMO it should be moved as is20:15
knome#action knome to move the "translations important for xubuntu" list to the processes page, discussion can continue when needed20:15
meetingologyACTION: knome to move the "translations important for xubuntu" list to the processes page, discussion can continue when needed20:15
knomelet's move on :)20:15
pleia2#topic Testing processes change proposal20:16
pleia2#link http://pad.ubuntu.com/xubuntu-qa-v-cycle20:17
knomei think that at this point, it would be great if all team members could go through the pad, and comment where appropriate20:17
elfydraft it is - would be good to see responses and discussions about that on the mailing list from the rest of team if not the pad20:18
pleia2where do I put "making a usb image is hard"?20:18
elfyit's important to me to get this sorted - while no-one should be expected to test all cycle long - apart from perhaps me 20:18
knomepleia2, add it somewhere20:18
elfybut if next cycle I get the same apathy then I'll be done and someone else can do it20:19
elfyblunt perhaps - but that's how team has made me feel about it20:19
elfywhat's even worse is people in team talking about installing this version and not showing up on the tracker20:20
knomeelfy, i was thinking that after N days of commenting time, we could put up a more formalized proposal up on the list, and then run that through the minimal bureaucracy we have, then start working with the work items that pop up from that20:20
pleia2there20:20
knomepleia2, thanks ;)20:20
skellatDo we need to have new/improved tutorial(s) on creating USB boot devices?20:22
elfyknome: perhaps 20:22
knomeskellat, i just wrote that in the pad20:22
elfyalso I would love for team to fill in the gaps on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Testing/TeamHardware20:22
pleia2just improve this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick20:22
knome#action knome to write a more formalized proposal about the QA process improvements with elfy after N days of comments/feedback for the pad20:22

elfyplease don't action me for things knome 20:24
elfywithout asking20:24
elfythat is :)20:24
knomeelfy, well i'm sorry... i was the main actioner anyway; if you don't want to do that, i'll just do it myself :P20:24
Unit193elfy: Hate to be a pain, but that testing page, is that installs/upgrades or do live count too?20:24
elfyUnit193: I don't understand the question20:24
knomeelfy, what i mean is... i don't consider you responsible for that item :)20:24
knome(even if the bot picks you up for that, so you can just ignore)20:25
knome(i'll be in touch with you)20:25
elfyknome: well for the most part I am xubuntu-quality as most of the rest is just people's names it seems20:25
knomeelfy, ah...20:25
knomeelfy, i consider all team-items to be loose-ended and not assigned to anybody either.20:26
skellat#nick xubuntu-bugs20:26
knomeelfy, i'll probably take the first part and talk with balloons on what he thinks we (the ubuntu qa team) should improve in the wiki20:26

meetingologyRemoving item from minutes: ACTION20:27
elfyUnit193: livesessions are part of the iso testing if that's what you mean20:27

meetingologyACTION: xubuntu-bugs to create triage plan with QA20:27
Unit193elfy: I can list 'hardware' if I don't have to install or otherwise touch the installation.  I do of course have 2 I can (and do) run upgrade tests on.20:28
elfyoic sorry - that page20:28
elfyif you don't want me to assume you can do something don't tick it :)20:29
knomepleia2, gosh, that page is like wall of text20:29
pleia2knome: sure is20:29
knomeinstead of million different ways to do it, i think we need one that works20:30
pleia2they're all broken sometimes20:30
elfypleia2: you'll not see me telling people to testdrive - you'll see me telling people to not do that :)20:30
slickymasterWorkexactly knome 20:30
knomei would advise against testdrive as well.20:30
pleia2elfy: yeah, but looking at the Ubuntu QA docs, they all talk about testdrive20:30
elfyknome: so last cycle - unetbootin was \o/ and the buntu tool was /o\ 20:30
elfyother way round this cycle20:31
pleia2I was looking the other day after I submitted that bug about how I was using unetbootin and a response was like "you're supposed to just use dd to copy them"20:31
knometestdrive is not well maintained, and adds just another layer of possible places for bugs to hide20:31
pleia2really? I've been doing ISO testing for 2 years and I didn't "know" you are "supposed to use dd"?20:31
elfypleia2: I think the best thing is to write our own page - certainly more likely to be maintained20:31
pleia2elfy: that would be a good start20:31
knomeor something under the QA team20:31
pleia2we can push on QA team to fix their docs once we have something better20:32
pleia2I'm kind of sick of working with the Ubuntu QA team tbh, like talking to a wall20:32
elfyknome: I'd certainly be making it a https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Testing/foo page20:32
knomei go to the QA team wiki, and i don't even know where i can get instructions to start helping out.20:32
pleia2I shouldn't say that, where's the #undo for meeting logs? :)20:32
knomepleia2, no, that's your official statement now :P20:32
pleia2hehe20:32
skellatAt least it isn't "ex cathedra"20:32
knomepleia2, just threatening balloons directly usually works :P20:33
elfyha ha ha 20:33
* pleia2 too polite20:33
skellatI thought I was the one called fairly hostile in a separate thread elsewhere.  Am I the designated attack dog or something?20:33
pleia2anyway, yes, better docs for usb sticks20:33
elfyskellat: I'm happy enough to work towards some sort of triage plan - but it will have to come after planning the test cycle20:33
skellatelfy: Agreed20:34
elfyI'm generally the blunt one - good to not be the only one :p20:34
knomei guess i'm considered blunt as well20:34
knomebut at least i'm not the one spamming contributor lists full of borderline (and way out) discussions20:35

pleia2thank you :)20:36
skellatVictorious Velociraptor!20:37
pleia2I sidetracked with my usb rant, was there other stuff on this topic?20:37
elfymmm20:37
knomejust that everybody in team should read it20:37
knomeand comment if they feel like it20:37
* pleia2 nods20:37
knomei mean,20:37
skellatpleia2: If we can't get USB booting to work, that damages testing greatly.  That's not a sidetrack at all.20:37

pleia2skellat: could be I'm just stupid :)20:38
skellatpleia2: No, I've seen those issues too20:38
pleia2good20:38
elfyso has more or less everyone this cycle20:39
skellatAnd I use dd 20:39
knomemaybe you're both just stupid20:39
knomeugh, can i take that off from the logs? ;P20:39
elfyand then you get vbox issues if you're using that20:39
pleia2I have real hardware, I feel my testing time is most valuable there, vbox is when I'm lazy 20:39
elfytalking of which ... 20:39
elfyif nothing happens between now and the 23rd we'll be stuck with 2 issues I know of20:40
skellatWhich are?20:40
elfythe black background - which is us specific 20:40
elfyand the tty1/tty7 issue in vbox which I think is *buntu wide20:40
skellatDo we have bug numbers?20:41
elfybug 1378423 for the vbox one20:42

skellatelfy: Has there been anything from balloons level on those?20:45
elfyskellat: balloons is more than aware of the vbox issue 20:46
* elfy has done nothing BUT find vbox issues this cycle ... 20:46
elfyand ochosi has been trying to catch up with xnox re the other - if anyone else sees xnox try and grab him about it20:46
elfywe've had the same thing before20:47
* pleia2 nods20:47
