 16:05:32 <dholbach> Done :)

 16:05:40 <jono> and all forms in Germany weird? :-)

 16:05:50 <czajkowski> lol

 16:06:15 <dholbach> jono, yes and very complicated, this one was really weird - try translating my job title into a different language and see how I struggled

 16:06:32 <jono> dholbach, fun fun fun

 16:06:38 <dholbach> but they said they can only pay me if I submit it, so I tried a bit harder ;-)

 16:06:38 <jono> dholbach, so what is the deal with the news team?

 16:07:11 <dholbach> jono, bkerensa and Alexander Vincent from AU (yes, we cover ALL timezones) both agreed to help out with compiling weekly dev news

 16:07:26 <jono> oh cool

 16:07:30 <dholbach> we had a call, we set up google docs to organise our news sources and to write up the updates together

 16:07:35 <jono> sounds great

 16:07:41 <dholbach> and we started putting together a list of people we want to interview

 16:07:50 <dholbach> we started slowly, but we're making progress

 16:07:53 <dholbach> it's good fun :)

 16:08:17 <jono> great stuff :-)

 16:08:20 <jono> any questions for dholbach ?

 16:08:51 <jono> I guess that is a no

 16:08:57 * dholbach curtseys

 16:08:58 <jono> alrighty, dpm, you are up

 16:09:02 <czajkowski> thank you dholbach

 16:09:06 * jono hi-fives dholbach

 16:09:10 <dholbach> :-))

 16:09:22 <dpm> ok, bear with me, I'm writing the notes right now

 16:09:32 <dholbach> haha

 16:09:52 <dpm> * Set up metrics for the app developer community growth items we're measuring this cycle

 16:10:08 <dpm> * Several talks with dholbach, the ARB and the MyApps team regarding statistics and making the ARB queue public

 16:10:09 <jono> dpm, slacker

 16:10:10 <jono> :-)

 16:10:28 * dpm kicks err... hugs jono

 16:10:32 <jono> haha

 16:10:53 <cjohnston> jono still misspells my name. :(

 16:11:11 <dpm> * Helped the Italian translation team get the sources to translate a Canonical document ('Successful Ubuntu migration')

 16:11:23 <dpm> * Wrote a blog post with an overview of the Ubuntu App Developer communication resources

 16:11:26 <mhall119> cjohnston: he's just using the British spelling

 16:11:29 <mhall119> ;)

 16:11:45 <dpm> * Set up a new time for translations calls to accomodate more participation

 16:11:48 <jono> cjohnston, oops

 16:11:51 <jono> sorry

 16:12:05 <dpm> * Talked to the CC about adding the translations portal and app developer site feeds to Planet Ubuntu - the answer was yes

 16:12:48 <jono> cool

 16:13:15 <dpm> There might have been other things, but I think these were the main topics

 16:13:22 <jono> thanks dpm

 16:13:25 <jono> any questions for dpm?

 16:14:11 <dholbach> not from me

 16:14:27 <jono> cool

 16:14:29 <jono> alright

 16:14:30 <dholbach> just wanted to say that it's good fun to work with dpm together on the app review story

 16:14:35 <jono> no jorge today, he is on vacation

 16:14:39 <jono> cool :-)

 16:14:48 <jono> I will go next

 16:14:55 * dpm hugs dholbach, ;)

 16:15:01 <jono> so, the caveat here is that I am full of cold, and feel like crap

 16:15:11 <czajkowski> awwww

 16:15:15 <jono> so get out your tiny violins please

 16:15:17 <jono> :-)

 16:15:22 <mhall119> better than the other way around?

 16:15:23 <czajkowski> jono: stop staying up so late!

 16:15:26 <jono> mhall119, LOL

 16:15:44 <jono> czajkowski, I wish I didn't need to

 16:15:47 <jono> ok

 16:15:49 <jono> * Finalizing metrics with dpm for the app dev work.

 16:15:57 <dholbach> o/~   ~\o

 16:16:06 <jono> * Finalizing metrics with dholbach and dpm for the ARB work.

 16:16:20 <jono> these metrics are going to be important for us to drive growth

 16:16:30 <jono> thanks to dholbach and dpm for focusing on this

 16:16:31 <jono> * Continuing to review UDS content.

 16:16:45 <jono> following up with folks regarding this

 16:16:52 <jono> thanks czajkowski for sending the LC content

 16:16:57 <czajkowski> np

 16:17:00 <jono> * Keynoted the Qt Dev Days 2011 event in San Francisco. Meeting with Nokia around Qt integration in Ubuntu.

 16:17:08 <jono> meeting seemed to go pretty well

 16:17:16 <jono> there was a lot of excitement about Ubuntu there

 16:17:29 <jono> I basically summarized the work going on between the two communities

 16:17:48 <jono> the meeting was good - David Pitkin (head of Consumer Apps) and I met them

 16:18:05 <jono> although we were a little outnumbered...there was like 8 Nokia people in the meeting :-)

 16:18:13 <jono> * Followed up and started building a reqs document around Qt needs in Canonical.

 16:18:26 <jono> this was more about collating together our strategy

 16:18:57 <jono> strategically Canonical has an interest in Qt (e.g. the Unity 2D) work, but the reqs for Qt were not really articulated all that well so I kicked this off yesterday

 16:19:23 <jono> * Continued hiring for the QA Community Coordinator role - zoning in on a candidate.

 16:19:41 <jono> I hope to get this finalized in the next few days

 16:19:49 <jono> * Planning the rally in January in Budapest.

 16:20:12 <jono> Budapest is going to be *cold* in Jan

 16:20:24 <jono> but the smell of burning keyboards should keep us warm

 16:20:36 <jono> * Discussed with the rest of the mgrs the rest of the fiscal year and budgeting.

 16:20:49 <jono> * 12.04 plan on-going: the team is in good shape, burndown looking good.

 16:21:10 <jono> this is when things start ramping down, so I am pleased with the progress being made

 16:21:17 <jono> * Helped Will Cooke to develop a strategy for the Ubuntu on TV community.

 16:21:27 <mhall119> \o/

 16:21:29 <jono> Will is a great person to be involved in this work

 16:21:35 <mhall119> lots of good discussion goinng on around that

 16:21:42 <mhall119> in #ubuntu-tv

 16:21:46 <jono> and he is passionate to work with the community

 16:21:47 <jono> yup
