It probably needs to be on the loco.u.c blog feed too 16:24:54 yeah, same for d.u.c, we should follow up after the meeting 16:24:54 or better yet, file a bug against loco-team-portal for it 16:25:00 I know this because I follow "canonical" on twitter. So I ended up learning about canonical tags, canonical the company, and the bible. 16:25:12 mhall119: also I think at some higher level we need to be smarter about SEO 16:25:21 if you just copy things around it can be bad. 16:25:38 cool 16:25:42 anything else jcastro? 16:25:43 ok done! 16:25:48 any further questions for jcastro? 16:26:30 alrighty...step back and prepare for a solid dose of....wait for it....mhall119! 16:27:09 alright 16:27:10 * Got SUMO back up and running (and running properly in Apache this time) 16:27:28 * Added list of Global Jam activities to the dashboard on loco.u.c 16:27:45 ^^ I'd be interested to know if any teams used that list 16:28:09 I know we had at least one team doing Quicklists/Keywords, but not sure if they got it from there or not 16:28:21 * Hung out with the best LoCo Team around 16:28:40 with some pretty epic cupcakes too, thanks again for bringing those balloons 16:28:58 * Taught cjohnston how to debug in python, so that he's now a python guru available to help anybody who needs it 16:29:14 and now needs to review code 16:29:22 yes, he needs to review code too 16:29:29 i cant review my own code 16:29:37 mhall119 needs to review code 16:29:38 * Worked on getting updates on the status of Unity documentation for dpm 16:29:58 * Discussed other Unity/Ubuntu doc work being done with Kevin Wright 16:30:20 * Learned how to use edit-patch with the help of dholbach 16:30:38 * Found and fixed a bug in edit-patch that was preventing me from using it properly for geany 16:30:50 * Inadvertently learned how to use quilt 16:31:00 * Figured out how to submit the edit-patch fix upstream to Debian 16:31:15 * dholbach hugs mhall119 16:31:17 ^^ And as far as contributor on-ramp goes, ours is definitely smoother 16:31:30 :-) 16:31:33 * Blogged about the community authors and work happening on Quicklists and Keywords 16:31:34 that's perseverance 16:32:01 * Updated submitted Quicklist branches with instructions for fixing and upstreaming their changes 16:32:30 * Helped contributors getting their submissions upstream, fostering conversation between them and the upstream developers 16:32:57 ^^ again, as far as welcoming new contributors, we're doing pretty good in comparison to some 16:33:15 * Helped jono get the community-developed ubuntu django theme integrated with his accomplishments webapp 16:33:39 * Got quickly-unity-templates uploaded (waiting on final review) 16:33:59 * Got the new uds.ubuntu.com theme/content merged with uds-project on Launchpad 16:34:13 that's it for me 16:34:50 thanks mhall119 :-) 16:34:53 any questions for mhall119 ? 16:35:40 alrighty...kneel and bow to the QA master...balloons! 16:36:05 nice.. 16:36:11 not likely, sorry balloons 16:36:12 * balloons thinks jono gets better every week 16:36:15 lol 16:36:26 * cjohnston thinks balloons sucks up to jono 16:36:40 ok, if I have to follow jcastro I'll one up with a 11 min song :-0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BjSCO05pW4 16:36:48 for the updates 16:36:50 checkbox checkbox checkbox! Last week was all checkbox all the time :-) The precise beta1 release happened and we got out the call for some manual application testing using checkbox. It's been a great response so far. We've had several developers including the people in ubuntu responsible for gwibber, libreoffice, firefox, thunderbird, orca and more helping contribute. 16:37:20 orca testing? finally 16:37:27 o yea :-) 16:37:33 In addition, the community QA members have helped contribute tests for shotwell, gedit, firefox, rythmnbox and more! Thanks to everyone who helped contribute. Special thanks to roignac who has seen something like 6 or 8 merge requests go in! Rock on! 16:38:02 AlanBell rocked out those orca tests btw.. glad to see it got some <3 ;-) 16:38:18 AlanBell rocks 16:38:29 Last Friday, the call for running the tests came out, and thus far we've had 19 people there results into launchpad for everyone to see. I'm still working on parsing the data, but we've already had a bug found in eog as part of the testing fixed. 16:38:53 If you haven't yet had a chance to participate, but wanted to, it's not too late. Check out the wiki on how to run the tests -- http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/RunningCheckboxTestCases. Then submit your results. As always thanks for testing. 16:39:35 I also had the luxury of meeting the ubuntuone QA folks last week and discovered they are also looking into case conductor. We are now coordinating efforts in possibly adopting this tool. 16:40:04 Had a wonderful jam session with svwilliams, mhall and cjohnston and cjohnston's house. Some good work on the loco portal occurred, as well as a bit of work on summit. I got to learn more about packaging and using bzr; including setting up an environment. FInally, mhall showed us show python web debugging :-) 16:40:53 I also should mention I wanted to, but mostly resisted making everyone listen to Bob Marley for the entire event... it may have snuck in there at some point.. I can't be responsible for such slips... 16:41:19 We also put out a call last week for unity 5.6 testing, as well as wubi testing. Unity 5.6 testing has also gone well, and in general seemed to be a smoother experience on everyone than unity 5.4 :-) I expect didrocks will blog about more updates on that soon. 16:41:21 lol 16:41:37 we be jammin 16:42:01 * balloons thinks marley should have sponsered this session now ;-) 16:42:16 too late to turn back now, you're committed 16:42:46 On the wubi testing, we got some people hooked up with Steve Langsek and I hope they will help fasttrack that testing process 16:42:54 wubi testing is not easy.. +1 to those guys 16:43:14 Also during UGJ. Cupcakes! I hope everyone got to feast there eyes on the cupcakes mhall, svwilliams, cjohnston and myself enjoyed during global jam. Others *cough* jcastro *cough* weren't able to enjoy them. 16:43:39 hehehe 16:43:52 Finally, looking forward to the future, for beta2, checkbox app testing will be expanding, adding more tests, migrating (fingers crossed!) to checkbox-qt, and doing some fancier reporting :-) 16:44:19 Questions? Concerns? Thoughts on jammin'? 16:44:30 Yes I was totally cooler than jcastro... 16:44:35 \o/ 16:44:35 for those who missed the cupcakes: http://ubuntuone.com/15nClPfOMixOzysVmPzAsb 16:44:38 this song is awesome 16:44:53 also I can't really eat cupcakes anyway 16:44:56 so either way I miss out! 16:45:05 lol 16:45:10 oh...the cupcakes... 16:45:14 lol jcastro :-) I know.. perhaps it was for the best 16:45:23 it wasn't 16:45:48 http://ubuntuone.com/2Uncqei1c1V6DkfLFZ8L0R 16:46:16 ^^ epic! 16:46:53 haha 16:46:55 side note, but isn't publishing files and getting a URL from the context meny of Nautilus not just one of the most awesome features ever? 16:47:16 mhall119, indeed 16:47:20 any thing else balloons? 16:47:29 that's be it 16:47:36 thanks balloons 16:47:39 * balloons is confused at his own grammar there 16:47:40 alright, I am up next 16:47:53 * General: 16:47:59 - Burndown looking good; progress is being made. :-) 16:48:07 - Did a full review of our work and things are looking good. 16:48:19 * App Devs: 16:48:26 - Coordinating work to get Unity docs online on developer.ubuntu.com.
