20:04 <slickymaster> evening pleia2 20:04 <pleia2> I don't know that we have any end result from that thread 20:04 <Unit193> Sure,that's fine as well. 20:04 <pleia2> though I will say that the actual process of sending out stickers was no burden 20:04 <slickymaster> and thanks for sorting out that dead link in docs.xubuntu.org 20:04 <pleia2> just didn't seem like a valuable enterprise 20:05 <Unit193> Alright. 20:05 <Unit193> #topic Team updates 20:05 <dkessel> oh yeah, good job on updating the docs site! 20:05 <Unit193> Everyone have at it? 20:05 <elfy> #info xubuntu-qa - nothing done, still trying to plan wily cycle 20:06 <pleia2> #info pleia2 updated docs.xubuntu.org for 15.04 20:06 <pleia2> #info pleia2 has draft for latest Xubuntu At... post ready for review 20:07 <slickymaster> #info slickymaster Updated the documentation to showcase the replacement of Abiword and Gnumeric by LibreOffice Writer and Calc, respectively, and the the drop of Gimp 20:09 <Unit193> If there's nothing else? 20:09 <slickymaster> nothing frm me 20:09 <slickymaster> * from 20:09 <pleia2> that's all 20:09 <elfy> not as #info 20:09 <Unit193> #topic Discussion items 20:09 <Unit193> #subtopic Rebooting the FAQ articles (mailing list discussion) 20:10 <slickymaster> only bluesabre replied to that 20:10 <Unit193> So there has been some interest in helping, and I believe others did mention that they'd like to see it happen. 20:10 <Unit193> Right. 20:10 <elfy> not sure what's going to happen if people don't step up to help 20:11 <pleia2> I can help with review of the articles, and pitch in if there's anything I've seen from social media that should be included 20:11 <slickymaster> this would be a perfect case where the community might get involved 20:12 <slickymaster> s/case/project 20:12 * Unit193 looks at krytarik, sitting over there in the 'community' section. 20:12 <elfy> ha ha 20:12 <pleia2> ah yes, we could also ask people via social media what they think should be included in a FAQ 20:13 <slickymaster> yes, my thoughts are exactly the same as Unit193?s 20:13 <Unit193> But so far that leaves bluesabre writing all of them. 20:13 <pleia2> he likes writing, right? :D 20:13 <Unit193> Yes! 20:13 <elfy> pleia2: maybe try and get people involved that way 20:13 * astraljava can pitch in 20:13 <pleia2> if he starts a blog post, we can multiplayer it and add some suggestions 20:13 <slickymaster> and his thourough doing it, pleia2 20:14 <slickymaster> krytarik, come up, come up, wherever you are 20:15 <Unit193> So, astraljava and bluesabre, better odds! 20:16 <Unit193> I think we'll carry that for when he's here at the next meeting, no? 20:17 <slickymaster> yes, good plan 20:17 <Unit193> #idea could also ask people via social media what they think should be included in a FAQ 20:17 <Unit193> (I have no idea if that shows better in minutes.) 20:17 <Unit193> #subtopic Package testing 20:17 <elfy> ha 20:18 <elfy> so - basically we're not going to even sort out tracker this cycle 20:18 <Unit193> Right, so the mail said, we're not doing them this cycle. 20:18 <elfy> nor update testcases 20:18 <Unit193> I guess for that, all we even have to do is poke PaulW2U. 20:18 <PaulW2U> o/ 20:19 <elfy> I'll assume that bluesabre and cohorts will liase when necessary for that 20:19 <Unit193> Heya, PaulW2U. 20:19 <elfy> #action xubuntu-dev to liase with -qa when specific package testing required 20:19 * meetingology xubuntu-dev to liase with -qa when specific package testing required 20:19 <Unit193> Right, I'll need a release team member for stuff too. 20:19 <elfy> hi PaulW2U 20:19 <PaulW2U> hi all 20:19 <Unit193> elfy: Anything else, or carry on to the next? 20:19 <elfy> hang on 20:20 <slickymaster> hi PaulW2U 20:20 <elfy> discussion started with PaulW2U and saqman on m/l about testing (which is more or less the same thing) we can do that now or at the end 20:21 <elfy> in which case we can move on 20:21 <Unit193> Now'll do. 20:21 <elfy> okey doke 20:22 <elfy> so - we're looking at the best way to disseminate info to testers here - currently trello board for them is my preference 20:22 <elfy> PaulW2U: you got any comments for the meeting? 20:22 <PaulW2U> no really but it testers need focus 20:23 <Unit193> FWIW, I'm keeping on top of those, thanks to SwissBot announcing every time something happens there. 20:23 <elfy> (I've also offered to run a qa meet if there'senough people -maybe social media that offer pleia2 ? ) 20:23 <PaulW2U> and items to test need to be easily found and the lists kept updated 20:23 <pleia2> elfy: yes sir 20:23 <elfy> pleia2: :) 20:24 <elfy> PaulW2U: ack 20:24 <PaulW2U> trello board looks good 20:24 * dkessel also likes trello 20:25 <elfy> for those who've not looked - there's a Tester Notes board https://trello.com/b/IV66JCHl/xubuntu-qa 20:25 <elfy> not sure there's much else to mention on that at this moment 20:29 <elfy> Unit193: the meeting length is kind of based on the chair not looking out of the window :p 20:29 <Unit193> :3 20:29 <Unit193> #subtopic Milestones to take part in 20:29 <Unit193> All the ones Ubuntu does is what I just read 20:29 <elfy> heh 20:29 <elfy> I'm still happy with 20:30 <pleia2> wfm 20:30 <Unit193> Another idea was when/if we had something big landing. 20:30 <elfy> really> 20:30 <elfy> didn't see that on my pointless mail to the list 20:30 <Unit193> elfy: Side note, idea, etc. But I don't think of anything big. 20:31 <Unit193> 4.12 hit last cycle, so that's it pretty much. 20:31 <elfy> frankly I think the best plan is start at Beta1 unless something turns up and we want to start earlier 20:31 <pleia2> it doesn't need to be a milestone, right? just a stronger call for testing on the specific bit 20:31 <elfy> pleia2: yea for sure 20:31 <Unit193> I maaay have misremembered, pleia2. 20:31 <Unit193> That sounds closer. 20:31 <pleia2> elfy does a great job calling those to our attention, so it's easy enough for me to social media them (sometimes with or without prodding :)) 20:31 <elfy> pleia2: the only issue being we can't stop dailies churning simply 20:32 <elfy> pleia2: works best when I LP mail for that still ? 20:32 <pleia2> elfy: yeah 20:32 <elfy> ok 20:32 <pleia2> that gets my attention, then I link to the -dev mail 20:32 <elfy> right 20:33 <Unit193> #agreed Participate with the ones Ubuntu does, starting at B1. 20:33 <elfy> bluesabre and I have quickly discussed both packages and images btw - it's not just me :) 20:33 <micahg> well, LO stuff should probably be tested 20:34 <Unit193> micahg: Yeah, there's a couple things to be fixed yet in x.d.s 20:34 <elfy> micahg: yea - probably 20:34 <elfy> I need to see what Ubuntu do with LO - there is a test for it - but I don'tthink much occurs 20:34 <knome> hai 20:34 <elfy> hi knome 20:34 <slickymaster> knome o/ 20:35 <Unit193> http://paste.openstack.org/show/zZTHqewdJcagM769YkZJ for a quick look, micahg. 20:35 <pleia2> if LO is the only package test to point people at, maybe we can succeed in getting some to do it ;) 20:36 <elfy> pleia2: if only it was that simple - when I looked it was really old and would need checking over 20:36 <pleia2> figures 20:36 <Unit193> Ubuntu doesn't take better care of that one? 20:36 <elfy> Unit193: they don't package test anymore 20:36 <pleia2> ah 20:36 <pleia2> nevermind then 20:37 <pleia2> would be easy if someone else was maintaining it, but if not.. 20:37 <knome> manually, non-exploratorily, that is... 20:37 <elfy> micahg: the other side of that coin is that we had tests for gnumeric/abiword that people didn't test and we still got bugs reported 20:37 <micahg> ok 20:38 <elfy> but basically - if people need something tested - ask and it shall be promoted 20:38 <Unit193> Alrighty then, if there's nothing else? 20:39 <elfy> I'm good 20:39 <Unit193> #subtopic QA Incentive 20:39 <slickymaster> nothing on this end 20:40 <Unit193> Again, from the mail it seems like a nice idea, but not really as much help. 20:41 <elfy> I think I saw a few new names show up - but no way to know from where - they could well just be normal new 20:41 <elfy> and it all took me hours because tracker 20:41 <pleia2> if we do see a new contributor who starts doing a long, we can just randomly offer to send them stickers 20:41 <pleia2> but a formal program doesn't work and was a bit silly 20:41 <pleia2> s/a long/a lot 20:41 <elfy> I'd not say it was silly - just something we tried 20:42 <Unit193> So, #info discontinued ? 20:42 <elfy> Unit193: yep 20:42 <pleia2> elfy: yeah, an interesting experiment :) 20:43 <Unit193> #info an interesting experiment, but discontinued 20:43 <Unit193> Any other discussions? 20:44 <elfy> blueprints? or wait till ochosi is about? 20:44 <Unit193> Likely wait for him. 20:44 <Unit193> #topic Announcements 20:44 <pleia2> I updated a blueprint today \o/ 20:44 <Unit193> I looked at them! 20:44 <elfy> \o/ 20:45 <knome> i did nothing today! 20:45 <elfy> still working on qa one 20:45 <elfy> knome: \o/ 20:45 <Unit193> I see nothing coming up. 20:45 <Unit193> #endmeeting
