[17:05] I went and found the hat especially ... [17:05] popey: :-) [17:05] suits you [17:06] only me mhall119 :) [17:07] pretty much all's good [17:07] elfy: how has the forums activity been since the last checkin? [17:07] elfy: any specific events or activities to share? [17:07] pretty much static month by month [17:08] we've just finished trying to get people involved in nominating themselves for mod team [17:08] elfy: how successful was that? [17:08] that's not gone well really, not sure what we're going to do about that [17:08] pretty much the same as everywhere - hard to get people to want to 'leader' up [17:09] what did you do to attract people? [17:09] threads - public and in the area members can see, blog post [17:10] elfy: and in general have the the FC seen an increase in users or is it just static ? [17:10] elfy: how about directly asking people who you think would be a good mod if you can nominate them [17:10] ? [17:10] czajkowski: mostly static - get increases at release time [17:11] mhall119: that is an option open to us still - but we're trying to make it a bit more open [17:11] elfy: ack, but sometimes having a personal invite makes people more willing, we identified that in one of the UOS sessions earlier in the month [17:12] yes - and that's the way the forum has done it for 10 years [17:12] ah, ok, so a public call is something new that's being tried? [17:12] yea [17:12] ok [17:13] elfy: any highlights or praises you'd like to give? [17:13] well - not brand new, we tried a while back - same [17:13] we're thinking on next steps [17:14] we still get people applying for membership via us - that's still working [17:14] elfy: what do you think might be causing people to now want to step up and be a moderator? [17:14] not [17:15] * mhall119 guesses inertia is the most likely cause [17:15] cprofitt: not sure - could be the process, could be them seeing the 'troublesome' ones [17:15] and that mhall119 [17:16] the new supermod group's making transition for people to FC much easier all round [17:16] elfy: is there anything the CC can do to help with recruiting mods, or anything else for the Forums? [17:16] not with Mods no [17:16] as far as anything else - we're pretty good thanks [17:17] rt's are always a bit of an issue - but other than bumping old ones [17:17] things sitting around for 6 months or more get to be annoying [17:17] just finding one ... [17:17] elfy: is there anything outstanding on rt or in general the CC can help with ? [17:18] https://rt.ubuntu.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=25642 [17:18] we can try and bump priority on RTs, or at least get some action on old ones [17:18] I opened that last October -seems that all that's required is edit a config file [17:18] we of course don't have that access anymore [17:19] ugh [17:19] mhall119: surely we can get some bump on that RT [17:19] October is a long time ago [17:19] yup, I'll take an action item to do that [17:20] #action mhall119 to request a response to RT#25642 for the Forums Council [17:20] ACTION: mhall119 to request a response to RT#25642 for the Forums Council [17:20] 24227 - April last - mods can't set their own passwords [17:21] generally though - positive [17:21] elfy: as in april just gone ?

[17:29] #topic Core Apps checkin === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Meetingology documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology | Ubuntu Community Council meeting | Current topic: Core Apps checkin [17:29] popey: your turn [17:29] o/ [17:29] well if everyone is good - we can move on to popey fidgeting in the corner :) [17:29] Yo, wassup? [17:29] hi popey :) [17:29] I was passing time providing support in #ubuntu :) [17:30] [17:30] oh yes - words [17:30] so - anything awesome you can tell us about Phone :) [17:30] popey: ok, first off then, any notable activity on the core apps? [17:31] * mhall119 asks knowing there is [17:31] lol [17:31] Ok, so we had UOS between last time we spoke and now [17:31] Had a bunch of sessions for core apps [17:31] Lots of discussion and planning done for the coming months. [17:32] However, there's one overriding issue which I want to braindump at you. [17:32] if you don't mind. [17:32] go for it [17:32] Contribution is down, and it's quite hard to get more people involved and I have some theories why. [17:32] 1) Some aspects (such as writing autopilot tests) are not exciting but incredibly dull, and hard to 'sell' [17:33] 2) many people don't have a device. [17:33] 1 we can work on, we can make the tests easier to write [17:33] we can also find those strange people who like writing them [17:33] * popey looks at balloons [17:33] However, 2 is a bit harder. [17:33] yeah, I was a bit disappointed when I found my nexus 7 could not help test [17:33] if they were easy I would [17:33] The knock on effect of people not having a device is that they don't feel empowered to help in many ways [17:33] and they don't feel like they're scratching an itch [17:34] e.g. "Why would I work on the Ubuntu music app on ubuntu phone, when I have an android phone" [17:34] In the past, the desktop was 'easier' to get contributions to, because anyone could install it on any system [17:34] The fact that we need to port to specific devices actually makes it hard to get devices for people [17:34] especially when in some regions (USA) there's limited options (bq and meizu devices don't work well over there on all of their frequencies for example) [17:35] Is this making sense? [17:35] popey: do you forsee that getting easier once we have a usable Unity 8 desktop? [17:35] popey: it is [17:35] popey: yep [17:35] Ok. [17:35] Well, there's a few things that will help. [17:35] more devices being available, and having a better end user experience helps [17:35] as people will be more inclined to use them as their daily driver [17:36] if you use it daily and you notice janky things, you're way more likely to file bugs / patches / translations / documentation [17:36] we have seen this on the ubuntu-phone list [17:36] there's people writing their own documentation, prototyping apps, translating things etc [17:36] all things we used to get lots of contributions for on the desktop [17:36] but at a MUCH smaller scale [17:37] because few people have the devices. and those that do, don't use it daily, so don't see the issues, or don't feel motivated to fix them [17:37] Now, this leads ot a bit of a chicken and egg issue. [17:37] I feel like ubuntu phone is where ubuntu desktop was in ~2005 [17:37] works well for a subset of users, on specific hardware. [17:38] Oh, and another thing! [17:38] many regular contributors to ubuntu are students - people who traditionally have limited desposable income [17:38] so they often (generalising here) make the best of the equipment they have [17:39] popey: it's a daft idea but why not organise some some of phone jam - where you or others bring along hand sets and people play with them and use them and file bugs. New users = new bugs and new users = new ideas on the phone [17:39] people come and get to meet one another [17:39] and are more inclined to fix things because "It's my only PC". whereas everyone (mostly) already has a smartphone - even students with low / no / income [17:39] and you get some community interaction [17:39] Well. [17:39] Good idea to have events. [17:39] I will certainly note that. [17:40] However, right now, bugs we are not short of :) [17:40] we have encouraged people to bring their devices to loco team events [17:40] but that doesn't let others use it as a daily driver [17:40] well it's more about interaction and if you provide the devices then people can get involved [17:40] popey: perhaps for a student meet up you could give away one to the person who files the most bugs, or writes the best test case [17:40] put bounty on it [17:41] hmm. incentivising [17:41] you know how I feel about that :) [17:41] popey: I do :) [17:41] popey: next co working day bring devices and let people play and run the tests on them! [17:41] like I say, bugs we have. contributions we don't [17:42] I know in the past we have used the community donations to send devices to core apps developers, but we haven't expanded it to more general phone users/contributors [17:42] people often say "it doesn't do X or Y" and I already have the bug on my screen for them [17:42] even for core apps devs, we were bending the guidelines for them [17:42] I would love to have a bunch of devices i could take somewhere and get people to contribute [17:42] as many were not (yet) Ubuntu Members [17:43] Going back to the previous question, I do believe that things will get easier as we have snappy desktop in 15.10 [17:43] and converged device coming this year [17:43] right, it won't give a phone use experience, but it will at least make it easier for people to run the apps themselves [17:43] both of those should have an impact and we should make certain to capture those poeple who are interested in contributing [17:43] popey: is there anything we can do to encourage people to use core apps on current desktops? [17:44] popey: mhall119 could a loco team apply for funnds via the fund to buy phones for their team to get more involved? [17:44] yes and no [17:44] Perhaps the perception is you have to be a core dev to get a phone [17:44] so to mhall119, yes, i need to delete all the core apps wiki page and replace it with a pretty page on developer.ubuntu.com :) [17:45] czajkowski: I would think so, yes, but they would need to show that it would be money well spent [17:45] i dont want to buy a bunch of phones to sit in a drawer somewhere [17:45] ^^ that [17:46] we've loaned devices to loco teams for use in events, but the expectation was that it would come back to Canonical afterwards so it can be loaned to someone else [17:46] nods [17:46] popey: got to run here - I'll read up in a bit - thanks :) [17:46] thanks elfy [17:46] I do know some locos are very proactive in QA and might enjoy this [17:46] perhaps they don;t know they could avail of the fund [17:46] maybe one thing they'd have to do is provide a bi weekly report of their work ? [17:47] elfy: thanks [17:47] czajkowski: yeah, and I think they would need regular in-person meetups in order for more than just one person to take advantage of the device [17:47] Again, QA isn't really what we need. We have people testing stuff. It's fixers we need. IMO [17:48] popey: is it time for another recruitment drive for Core Apps? [17:48] yes [17:48] so, todo list:- [17:48] 1) make a better home page on developer.ubuntu.com [17:48] ok, the hack days seemed to work reasonably well for that in the past [17:48] 2) Better articulate the things we need [17:48] 3) recruit [17:48] popey: ack [17:48] hack days were variable [17:49] popey: what part of that can the CC help with? [17:49] I'll make a start on 1 and 2 [17:49] Don't think anything (yet) [17:49] popey: has it helped to bring some of those core app devs to sprints? [17:49] I know it's highly motivating to the ones that go, but what about in recruiting new devs? [17:49] yeah, absolutely [17:50] not sure I understand the question [17:50] inviting community people to sprints is a mixed blessing [17:50] "Here, come along with us and hack on ubuntu" vs "Here, spend a week of your vacation working for no pay" [17:51] is that kind of involvement with Canonical something that helps motivate people to get involved, or does it only motivate people who are already involved? [17:51] I think it's motivating and fun for students [17:51] less so for people with families / careers [17:51] ack [17:51] ergo we should target students ㋛ [17:52] exams are now, summer holidays coming for many [17:52] now is the time to strike [17:52] popey: what about a GSoC project for this? [17:52] popey: contact unis that offer mobile dev courses and see if they'd like a semester project [17:52] too late for GSOC I think? [17:53] maybe [17:53] not sure if Google would approve it anywya [17:53] czajkowski: yeah, will add that to my list [17:54] popey: changing gears a bit, is there anything blocking or disrupting contributions from the people you already have? [17:54] Yes. Not having enough other contributors. [17:54] heh [17:54] People to review code for example [17:54] popey: I know we can only build for ubuntu devices there are no cross platform options out there yet [17:54] I'm not kidding [17:54] czajkowski: would be nice if the SDK ran on other platforms, but it doesn't right now [17:54] popey: do you still have people from Canonical helping with code reviews? [17:54] but have peple thought about going to many more mobile conferecens and talking about the Ubuntu phone theer to get developers who work on xamarin ios and android interested [17:55] mhall119: I poke people now and then yes [17:55] popey: I type slowly :( [17:55] czajkowski: we do go to conferences. not many, but targetted, dpm was at one this week doing exactly that :) [17:55] * czajkowski attends many many mobile events, but no sign of Ubuntu at them [17:55] and they're not just for android or iOS [17:56] anyways [17:56] yes, that is something we are trying to do more of within the community team at canonical [17:56] we've also been developing materials for community contributors to use at such conferences [17:56] we have to target events carefully. [17:56] we don't have a huge budget for events [17:56] and many are just not appropriate [17:56] yeah, a lot of mobile events seem very businessey [17:58] having the SDK working on Windows and OSX would certainly help, but I think the technical difficulties on that are too high for it to be realistic right now [17:58] yup [17:58] its even hard to run it other linux distros [17:59] I would like to see more of Ubuntu at mobile dev conferences though, perhaps we should go over our material again to make sure it's ready for non-canonicalers to use [17:59] ok, our hour is just about up, is there anything else you wanted to bring up or ask for assistance with popey ? [17:59] I think we'll be in better shape by the end of the year as we'll have more devices in more regions and converged device. [17:59] Nope [18:00] popey: any highlights or praises you want to give? [18:00] Not now, I'll save that :) [18:00] :) [18:00] czajkowski: cprofitt anything else for popey?
