15:00:38 <jono> Welcome one and all to the Canonical Community Team meeting!
15:00:50 <jono> a place where you can find the latest goings on in this venerable team
15:01:18 <jono> prepare for a collection of status updates from this cacophony of wide eyed bandits
15:01:35 <jono> first up...a man who rejects the idea that "there are enough developers"
15:01:37 <jono> ...dholbach!
15:01:47 <dholbach> hello! :)
15:01:54 <dholbach> ☺ Dev Advisory Team: Continued review and improvements to the report of feedback we got from new contributors. Andrew mailed it out, I blogged it. Started to get in touch with contributors who mentioned docs as a shortcoming, to ask them to help identify and fix specific issues.
15:02:06 <dholbach> ☺ Dev News: Got another dev update out, this time's highlight: getting last-minute fixes in.
15:02:18 <dholbach> ☺ Sponsoring: Got some eyes on the sponsoring queue to make a decision about the items in there and figure out if we want to have them for 12.04 or 12.10. Current count: 50 items. Produced list of folks who didn't patch pilot. Had my patch pilot shift today as well.
15:02:28 <dholbach> err Current count: 33
15:02:37 <dholbach> ☺ Dev Infrastructure: fixed bugs in Harvest API - it was never used much, so there were quite a few things which had to be brushed up to make it truly useful. Worked on Dev Opportunities Lens, and got a first cut ready to work, now working on introducing categories/scope functionality.
15:03:03 <dholbach> ☺ CC: set up CC Trello - no more agenda writing, less note-taking - YAY. Posted new version of CoC to get more feedback from everyone - will be discussed in next CC meeting. Had some followup discussions. CC meeting with the ARB.
15:03:13 <dholbach> ☺ 12.10 preparation: some small edits and refinement to 12.10 plans. Filed blueprints.
15:03:36 <dholbach> ☺ Apps: Had a call with dpm, jono and mhall119 about getting apps into Ubuntu. Call with mvo about /opt requirement for ARB apps. Prepared https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OptRequirement - talked to several TB members about the topic. Sumarised meeting with CC/ARB. Had a chat with Michael Nelson about myApps priorities, discussed some specific bug fixes. Had several more phone calls with Michael Vogt about different ways to do app review
15:03:36 <dholbach> s in the future.
15:03:53 <dholbach> ☺ Misc: Helped some more with packaging the accomplishments bits. Helped jedimike with some django packaging. Did a server test install, which will become my Q devel vm - worked perfectly.
15:04:04 <dholbach> That's it from me.
15:04:15 * dpm hugs dholbach
15:04:26 * dholbach hugs dpm back :)
15:04:38 <jono> any questions for dholbach?
15:04:43 <dholbach> I'm looking forward to working with dpm some more in Q :)
15:04:55 <mhall119> dholbach: is MyApps open to community contributions?/
15:05:01 <dpm> \o/
15:05:04 <jono> mhall119, no
15:05:10 <dholbach> mhall119, you mean as others could review apps as well?
15:05:11 <jono> this is one area we need to fix
15:05:18 <mhall119> dholbach: I mean for adding features
15:05:21 <jono> oh I assumed you mean open source
15:05:22 <dholbach> ah no
15:05:23 <mhall119> to MyApps itself
15:05:28 <dholbach> not AFAIK
15:05:34 <jono> I talked to davidpitkin about focusing on this in the 13.04 cycle
15:05:34 <dholbach> I can ask noodles about it
15:05:46 <jono> for 12.10 we will request changes to their team
15:06:21 <jono> dholbach, so I would like to ask you to prepare a blueprint that summarizes all required MyApps changes
15:06:32 <jono> that we can present to David Pitkin for review after UDS
15:06:40 <dholbach> ok
15:06:54 <jono> importantly, we should only request changes that we are confident will bring a real and practical impact to the ARB
15:07:02 <dholbach> yes
15:07:10 <jono> thanks
15:07:18 <jono> any other questions?
15:07:29 <jcastro> \o/
15:07:50 <jono> alrighty
15:07:52 <jono> next up...
15:08:12 <jono> ...you don't know this yet, but you are about to write a new app for Ubuntu...and he will make it happen...

15:12:05 <dpm> • Participated in the CC/ARB meeting
15:12:13 <dpm> 
15:12:18 <dpm> Translators
15:12:19 <dpm> 
15:12:39 <dpm> A crazy week it was
15:12:53 <dpm> as it was the translations deadline
15:13:20 <dpm> • Spent quite a lot of time fixing Kubuntu translation templates in Launchpad due to a bug in the packaging
15:13:37 <dpm> • Discussed final language pack schedule with pitti

15:17:19 <jono> any questions for dpm?
15:18:06 <mhall119> the cookbook section looks much nicer
15:18:09 <mhall119> +1 dpm
15:18:25 * dholbach hugs dpm
15:18:25 <dpm> glad you like it :)
15:18:33 <dpm> now we need more recipes!
15:18:46 <jcastro> thank you for not calling them charms

15:18:52 <jcastro> or candystix or somesuch
15:18:52 <dpm> hahaha
15:18:55 <jussi> will there be a flavours section if people will populate it?
15:18:59 <jono> :-)
15:19:01 <mhall119> dpm: we should probably make a note of which language the tutorials use
15:19:50 <dpm> mhall119, yeah, that's a good idea. We need to think how to record this kind of info. I was thinking of tags and categories, but by default it seems WP pages don't use tags or categories
15:20:04 <jussi> or will things more relatd to other DE's just go straight in?
15:20:09 <mhall119> for posts it does, maybe not pages
15:20:38 <dpm> yes, that's what I meant, pages don't support them
15:20:53 <mhall119> jussi: things for other DE will probably be linked to in the "elsewhere on the web" sections
15:21:01 <jussi> k
15:21:12 <jono> alrighty
15:21:14 <jono> next up!

15:21:38 <jcastro> WOO!

15:21:54 <jcastro> ## OpenStack Conference
15:22:01 <jcastro> - Mark demoed Bare metal to deployed OpenStack. This takes about _12 minutes_. We also announced full OpenStack backports for their next 4 releases back to 12.04. Great show that is growing very quickly.
15:22:08 <jcastro> - Did a charm school with Clint, about ~50 people. Clint nailed it, best charm school we've had so far. 2 hours of questions and demos!

15:24:51 <jussi> jcastro: how much is missing from the open week stuff?
15:24:59 <jussi> and what exactly needs doing
15:25:12 <jcastro> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek
15:25:17 <balloons> 7 open sessions
15:25:19 <jcastro> I need 7 more sessions/instructors
15:27:37 <jono> ok, no more questions?
15:27:42 <jcastro> oh wait!
15:27:54 <jcastro> hey so I've put out like 3 calls for instructors, ideas for more?
15:28:11 <jcastro> I'm kind of becoming a desperate begging mess. :)
15:28:13 <jussi> jcastro: Im just attempting to get someone

15:28:37 <mhall119> :)
15:29:00 <mhall119> daker: would you be willing to run a session about loco team portal, how to use it, etc?
15:29:32 <daker> ma
15:29:46 <daker> mhall119, ok ツ when ?
15:30:00 <mhall119> daker: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek has the schedule
15:30:03 <mhall119> any time that's open
15:30:49 <mhall119> jcastro: next time, let's not schedule this during the design sprint :)
15:31:04 <technoviking> morning all
15:31:10 <jcastro> pleia pointed out there's a missing week this time
15:31:14 <jussi> hi technoviking
15:31:31 <jono> ok lets move along
15:31:36 <jono> next up...
15:31:45 <jono> ...quality is something that defines this guy...
15:31:49 <jono> ...balloons!
15:31:56 <balloons> :-)
15:32:01 <balloons> the intros never get old
15:32:31 <jono> :-)
15:32:44 <balloons> just so you know jcastro QA is by far the most exciting thing going on this week :)
15:32:51 <jcastro> indeed!
15:33:10 <balloons> Met with QA team to review the cycle and reflect on positives and negatives. Did a bit of self-reflection on what testing processes went well and what didn't. I'm happy to hear feedback on your experiences with the calls for testing, manual app testing, iso testing, or any other testing imitative we had this cycle.
15:33:38 <balloons> Talked with elopio from ubuntu one about moztrap, played around with his test instance.
15:34:18 <balloons> Kicked off adopting an iso. The goal was to promote iso testing for this last bit of precise. Over 100 folks responded and agreed to do their best in helping test. This has been amazing.
15:35:01 <balloons> Fun fact -- I sent and recieved over 200 emails in 24 hours on the iso testing subject. Talking to everyone was a blast ;-) I'm glad I decided to go the email route -- I hope it was enjoyable getting a live connection to a person instead of just a wiki page
15:35:13 <balloons> If you haven't / weren't able to help with iso testing, remember there will be more opportunities to get involved next cycle.
15:35:38 <balloons> Looking at the top testers report, http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers, we see several new faces in the top ten, and 96 different iso testers. This is a testament to those that stepped up and volunteered for iso testing.
15:36:09 <balloons> Blueprints and UDS planning has been in full swing. On the QA side we have several great conversations for UDS surrounding our tool adoption and strategy going forward, as well as continuing to reach new people and grow our QA community.
15:36:59 <balloons> Made plans to buy a new system so I can test more/better next cycle. (new hardware, yummy!) Yes all of you testers with multiple systems and big screens out there made me jealous, lol.
15:37:35 <jono> :-)
15:37:42 <balloons> Also recruiting volunteers for a QA session or two during open week. Heading to UDS early with jcastro and mhall119. I have the ideas, if you don't know what to speak about :-)
15:38:40 <balloons> ..
15:40:22 <balloons> crickets...
15:40:27 * balloons wonders if he dc'd
15:40:33 <mhall119> we didn't know you were done
15:40:43 <dholbach> ".." is release team meeting speak for "I'm done"
15:40:54 <jono> yeah you need to say you are done balloons
15:40:57 <balloons> mhall119, that's always an easy answer, lol
15:40:59 <jono> we are not mind readers :-)
15:41:02 <balloons> I'm never done
15:41:13 <jono> haha
15:41:14 <balloons> sorry :-)
15:41:19 <jono> alrighty
15:41:21 <balloons> I will take questions tho
15:41:22 <jono> any questions for balloons?
15:41:26 <balloons> hehe
15:41:51 <mhall119> with the email thing, did you have to keep everybody in the loop with what everyone else was doing?
15:41:56 <mhall119> or was that not really a concern
15:42:28 <balloons> mhall119, no the iso tracker handled that piece.. but it was handy to speak directly to everyone about what was going on with the iso's and what the focus should be each day, etc
15:42:34 <mhall119> like, for my blogs on quicklists and keywords, I had people leave comments about  which app they were working on, to avoid duplication of effort
15:42:40 <mhall119> ah, ok
15:42:43 <balloons> yea
15:42:55 <balloons> plus I assigned them an iso, based upon what they said they would/could test
15:43:16 <balloons> that I think worked out very well
15:43:22 <dpm> jcastro, sorry, MARBLES!!!
15:43:34 <dholbach> haha :)
15:43:35 <balloons> we got excellent coverage that way, where we traditionally don't since everyone tests the more popular iso's
15:43:44 <mhall119> dpm: just now?
15:44:01 <dpm> :-)
15:44:08 <jono> alrighty
15:44:10 <jono> next up!
15:44:20 <dpm> I was being pinged by somebody else and was in another conversation :)
15:44:45 <jono> ...a man swimming upstream and make them rock and roll in Ubuntu...this guy will make your software experience in Ubuntu 12.10 a good time for everyone involved...
15:44:49 <jono> ...mhall119!
15:44:57 <mhall119> :)
15:45:05 <mhall119> * Brainstorming improvements for App developers for the 12.10 cycl
15:45:24 <mhall119> if you've noticed a theme, you're right!  We're going to make Ubuntu rock for app developers
15:45:41 <mhall119> * Refactored developer portal Unity docs to make them more prominent and accessible: http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/
15:46:08 <mhall119> I'll be monitoring the traffic to see where we can improve getting people to the useful information
15:46:38 <mhall119> but we've already seen a slight increase in people looking at the Unity docs, and even more so the API pages, thanks in part to...
15:46:45 <mhall119> * Added API documentation pages for both 11.04 and 12.04: http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/platform/api/
15:47:13 <mhall119> so we now cover every version of Ubuntu that shipped with Unity as default
15:47:30 <mhall119> * Got with jbicha and bkerensa to collect documentation contributors for the 12.04 cycle
15:47:35 <mhall119> thanks again bkerensa
15:47:47 <mhall119> * Defined my objectives for the 12.10 cycle
15:47:57 <mhall119> very, very excited about what we're going to be doing in the next 6 months
15:48:11 <mhall119> * Started tracking upstreams to bring into USC
15:48:23 <mhall119> * Blogged about Ubuntu for App Developers
15:48:41 <mhall119> got a lot of traffic from that one, people are *definitely* interested in our app developer story
15:48:49 <jono> bring it!
15:48:52 <mhall119> * Helped cjohnston with some enhancements to summit.ubuntu.com
15:49:10 <mhall119> Track leads will now be able to create, approve and schedule meetings for their tracks!
15:49:34 <mhall119> * Finished and Published the new Unity contributor documentation: http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/
15:49:59 <jono> :-)
15:50:01 <mhall119> my gimp-fu is getting pretty good after all those screenshots and banners
15:50:09 <jono> heh
15:50:17 <mhall119> * Got Precise main and universe packages added to screenshots.debian.net
15:50:41 <mhall119> And finally
15:50:43 <mhall119> * Added sound menu example to hello-unity: http://ubuntuone.com/2usdghRU9SfugPYMOqZHqA
15:50:54 * mhall119 is done
15:50:59 <dpm> I've said it repeatedly, but I love the new API pages
15:51:04 <mhall119> :)
15:51:09 <jono> cool on the sound menu :-)
15:51:12 * dpm is also excited about 12.10 and app developers
15:51:20 <jono> dpm, totally :-)
15:51:34 <jono> any questions for mhall119?
15:51:38 <bkerensa> mhall119: no problem.... Still hoping for sumo in help.ubuntu.com ;p
15:52:03 <mhall119> bkerensa: yup, on my list to do
15:52:23 <jono> bkerensa, can you help lead that project?
15:52:44 <jono> bkerensa, mhall119 is going to be bery busy in 12.10, so help coordinating the sumo implementation for help.u.c would be great
15:52:48 <cprofitt> bkerensa: what is up with help.ubuntu.com?
15:53:27 <mhall119> cprofitt: just evaluating alternatives to moinmoin
15:53:37 <cprofitt> ah,... cool
15:53:38 <bkerensa> jono: I would have to confer with mdke and jbicha but yeah that is something I am interested in Q
15:53:52 <jono> bkerensa, cool, could you check into it and let us know?
15:53:59 <bkerensa> jono: yep will do

15:56:18 <jono> * OpenStack Conference:
15:56:25 <jono> - The majority of the week I was at the OpenStack Summit and Conference in San Francisco.
15:56:29 <jono> - sabdfl gave a fantastic keynote, and the entire team worked well in delivering it reliably and on time.

15:57:11 <jono> - We now have working packages and are getting our PPA in shape.
15:57:16 <jono> - Our next step is fixing all remaining 0.1 bugs at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-accomplishments/+milestone/0.1
15:57:20 <jono> and that is it from me
15:57:22 <jono> any questions?
15:57:39 <mhall119> how's the unity integration going for accomplishments?
15:58:03 <jono> mhall119, it is done, we have Launcher integration and a hi-res icon
15:58:15 <jono> the Launcher shows the number of new verified accomplishments
15:58:24 <jono> I am not sure what other integration we will need
15:58:27 <mhall119> cool
15:58:27 <jono> probably quicklists
15:58:34 <jono> but that will be a 0.2 feature
15:58:38 * mhall119 will work on a quicklist example for hello-unity
15:58:46 <jono> that would be really handy
15:59:00 <jono> hello-unity is what made Unity integration happen in Ubuntu Accomplishments :-)
15:59:07 <mhall119> :)
15:59:13 <jono> any other questions, folks?
