[17:39] performing test runs are also helpful [17:39] just trying to jog up all the tasks that make sense [17:39] I'll highlight each of the bugs you mentioned specifically in there [17:39] well I'd happily see a bunch of xub package tests run :D [17:40] and the current emphasis on writing is with studio [17:40] balloons: re the bugs - I would suspect that they'd all come together as one thing - but no coder :D [17:41] it's php, I think there's a good chance [17:41] I mean perhaps not, but it's worth trying [17:42] personally getting a list of bugs, colour change when fixed, being able to filter the defect list would be my priorities :) [17:44] Would you be a mentor just to running xubuntu tests? [17:44] I guess so [17:44] balloons: i would be happy to mentor someone in running lubuntu tests and perhaps bug triage [17:45] balloons: so long as I don't need to join that m/l I refuse to read anymore ... [17:49] flocculant, nope, you do not [17:49] wxl, that's awesome as well! [17:50] I'm curious if lubuntu might have some other tasks like promotion, documentation, icons, etc as well [17:50] ahh, I see your response [17:50] balloons: my concern is i couldn't see how we could dedicate our time to help out except in little amounts. but if that's all you need, let me know how i can help, on any level, and i'll rally the troops. [17:50] so yeah i'm sure we could come up with some other stuff [17:50] you just want little bits, then? [17:50] wxl, yes it should be tiny. The idea is these are self-sufficent tasks [17:50] if you keep them straight-forward, the only thing you need to do is review the work [17:52] ie, for running tests as an example, you would simply need to review as you would normally. If someone makes a promotion video, review, blog post, etc, you review it [17:53] I think it would be a net benefit to flavors, and hopefully get some more help and love infused into your communities. [17:53] It's my first time doing this, but that's my thoughts [17:53] :) [17:54] balloons: sounds good to me. so where do i go to submit tasks and such? [17:56] isn't time running out for this? [18:04] wxl, I'll add you as a mentor [18:04] sounds good balloons [18:04] flocculant, I'll add you too. This is the last week before students begin. But you can add tasks all the way through [18:05] the more you can let me know about the process, i.e. where we actually go to add tasks, the better, balloons [18:05] wxl, flocculant https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GoogleCodeIn has the FAQ and summary of things [18:05] thx [18:05] I can answer anything beyond that of course :-) [18:05] balloons: ack [18:06] oh and did you notice kde is going to be a part of it, balloons ? [18:06] wxl, indeed. [18:07] that being said i'm not sure kubuntu will have much to offer, as they're tightly integrated with kde upstream [18:07] duuuude metabrainz is involved. cool. [18:07] yes, I suppose the KDE participation might align more with kubuntu.. it's up to them :-) [18:08] yeah well, the lxde team and the lubuntu team are fairly separate, but kubuntu/kde seems a bit different [18:10] for you wxl, I'm adding a picture to the wiki page. If i can remember the syntax ;p [18:11] good luck, balloons [18:11] * wxl LOOOOOATHES moinmoin [18:12] ahh.. it's {{}} not [[]] [18:13] balloons: could you please send the invite to bikefridaywalter@gmail.com? that's the account associated with my g+ [18:16] done [18:16] balloons: there appears to be a minimum of 75 tasks. is that the whole project or just me? [18:17] wxl, that's the whole project [18:17] balloons: so what would be a reasonable goal for lubuntu? [18:17] no worries. You can add as many or as little tasks as you'd like. Bear in mind, some of the tasks you ask for can be completed by more than one person [18:17] ok [18:17] wxl, there's not goal or requirement. I appreciate any tasks you wish to add [18:18] are translation tasks reasonable? [18:19] balloons: I assume that tasks can be added later on? [18:19] we've got a meeting on Friday - if we can add stuff later on then I'll bring it up [18:20] flocculant, yes indeed. We'll need more tasks as we go [18:21] * balloons is updating the FAQ with your questions :-) [18:21] :) [18:21] don't ask me too - don't have time left today to try logging into ubuntu wiki :D [18:22] nope, I'm on oit [18:22] you've supplied the questions, so I am already indebted to you [18:22] well i'm going to add translation tasks [18:23] wxl, that is another thing I should add [18:23] balloons: and where does one see what tasks are listed? [18:23] I found out translation tasks aren't allowed for GCI. I was surprised, but they say it's hard to control the quality so it's best to not have them [18:23] wxl ^^ [18:24] flocculant, good question. When you login, you should be able to see the list under manage tasks. [18:24] can you confirm you can indeed see it? I can, but then again, I'm an admin [18:25] that sucks, balloons [18:25] yea, it really does [18:27] login where ? [18:28] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GoogleCodeIn#Where_can_I_see_the_current_tasks\.3F [18:28] see if that answers it [18:29] 403. That's an error. [18:29] Your client does not have access to this page. [18:29] assume not a mentor [18:29] flocculant, did you accept my invite? [18:30] not seen it [18:30] yea, I don't see you in the list yet [18:30] so balloons my biggest problem is that most of our developers (all like 2 of them) are very busy. do you think i could find some co-mentor within the ubuntu community to help out with tasks? i know our big needs, code-wise, but don't feel like i can adequately help someone. [18:30] I sent it again [18:31] wxl, having someone to help out is a good idea. Hmm. What sort of coding tasks are you thinking [18:31] balloons: probably gmx bottlenecking it [18:31] balloons: bug fixes, really. [18:33] balloons: although i could probably find some tasks from the upstream team to work on XD [18:33] wxl, those sound like good options. Is there someone else knowledgable who could help out? I guess I'm curious where the gap lies. Many folks can help with generic questions like how to use launchpad, get code, submit an mp, etc [18:34] if you can sub for the lubuntu specific bits (and of course, the devs will end up reviewing things I suspect right?) [18:34] yeah i can help with all that stuff [18:35] i'm just not the local c++ wizard [18:35] and yeah i can make sure the reviews get fasttracked through the devs [18:36] I think you'll be ok. And don't worry, we won't abandon you if you need help or get stuck [18:36] ok, good [18:36] The entire commmunity will still be here. I plan to draw upon them for help as needed [18:37] great, then i'm excited! [18:37] :-) me too! [18:37] thanks for reaching out [18:37] flexiondotorg, think I can persuade you as well to consider adding some tasks? [18:37] i looked at that page several times and couldn't figure out how to make it work [18:38] wxl, which page exactly? [18:38] and thank you for volunteering! [18:38] the faq [18:38] ahh.. Is it better now? [18:38] balloons: oh [18:38] it's hard to write good faq's without feedback [18:38] i just kept thinking about having each member of my team be mentors and i couldn't necessarily see how i could make that happen [18:39] but if i'm acting as a liason for the team and also getting help from the community at large, no big deal [18:39] balloons: it needs my address [18:39] no way that I'm letting google know that :| [18:39] flocculant, your address? odd [18:39] ohh.. perhaps for the t-shirt. I think everyone gets one [18:40] so maybe adding some text that relates to that specific concern might be helpful, balloons [18:40] every field is required [18:40] not EVERY team is overflowing in resources, nor does every team have paid canonical contributors XD [18:40] phone number [18:40] flocculant, let me ask real quick about what to do with that. I have an idea though [18:41] balloons: sorry - not giving any of that out [18:42] have it go to canonical XD [18:42] seems wxl and I are on the same wavelength [18:42] great minds think alike, balloons [18:42] or put in my address so i can get another shirt hahahahah [18:43] hehe [18:50] balloons: you should note on there what i said above about not being alone and/or being a liason. also note asomething about no translations. [18:51] wxl, ack, editing away [18:51] balloons: writing email to team whilst you finish :) [18:57] balloons: cycle-wise, any work done will be ready in time for 16.04 then? [18:58] wxl, yes I don't see why not [18:58] it wraps up in JHan [18:58] balloons: yeah that's what i expected, but just wanted to be sure i wasn't missing anything [20:10] balloons: not sure what I could actually add and then mentor now ... [20:10] bug 1510939 would be nice to fix, but I assume that drupal and launchpad api - no good me doing that :p [20:10] bug 1510939 in Ubuntu QA Website "Bug colours" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1510939 [20:15] balloons: what about a 2 pronged thing - do an install, then try and confirm some bugs in an app - thinking thunar as that's problematic [20:32] flocculant, I think doing a basic testcase is an excellent beginner task [20:32] from there, confirming bugs, triaging, verifying, etc. All good stuff [20:32] running the entire application testsuite is a good one [20:32] that's non-trivial [20:33] yep [20:33] so 1 - install test, 2 - application tests, 3 - confirm (or not) say 10 bugs in a specific app [22:25] flocculant: with regard to your email: USC = software center? [22:26] yea [22:26] cool :) [22:26] I know the *plan* tbh [22:26] but it's a mystical thing :D [22:30] * balloons feels lost [22:30] well don't rely on me to help you find the way back :D [22:31] that way lies a world of pain :p [22:31] ahh, I see the mail [22:31] * teward uses advanced alien technology to beam balloons back to reality [22:31] balloons: that helps :) [22:32] * teward wants to know this plan you speak of [22:32] some gnome thing [22:32] which xubuntu is really looking forward to ... [22:33] yes, moving to more upstream stuff [22:33] which is a good thing really [22:33] well [22:33] luckily I don't use USC and am rather unlikely to use this new thing [22:35] https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Software [22:35] doesn't seem like a good scenario for us to keep usc if canonical don't want to use it - can't see any resources landing to fix it for anyone else [22:36] i use the command line directly and synaptic still cause oldschool [22:36] yea [22:37] frankly most new stuff just seems like a triumph of form over function [22:37] with that I'm off up the wooden hill [22:39] cheers gents [22:41] * tsimonq2 chhers for balloons [22:41] s/chhers for/ cheers with/
