Boosters Sprint Meeting 2010-02-02

Hi, i just realized this has gone under in all the FOSDEM stuff. Sorry, i hope you can forgive me once more... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This sprint was going from January 21st to February 4th. It was not very successful. The factory status page is wading through the last 5% of its goal, the centralized documentation came to a scratching halt after some technical problems and a re-opened discussion occurred and the umbrella project is suffering from too much general work burden on their members. The only real good looking part is the miscellaneous work we do like events, administrative stuff and general care taking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Miscellaneous Topics Things that came up, stuff that is happening. Something everybody should be aware of. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Retrospectiva - Our project management tool community.o.o is not ready yet and the branch is still not switched because we can't do it without a re-installation. So we are currently blocked. We decided to wait for community.o.o to kick off the re-install. * LinuxTag 2010 Talks are looking good. The project has put in 22 Talks from which 10 are held by a booster. Check http://en.opensuse.org/LinuxTag_2010 for details. Klaas brought up the topic of hack sessions or other contributor activities we could do at the booth. AI everybody: Brainstorm on our list what to do. * Internal Stuff Timesheets, Worktimes, Workreports. Boooooooring * Community Manager As Zonker is leaving we are looking for a replacement. We as the boosters should think hard about if we know someone. Klaas/Henne are involved in looking at the candidates. * www.o.o Deployment was a bit chaotic. Tom made sure that everything is in the berlios SVN. AI Tom: Talk to Frank how to document this process officially. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Standup Every squad has to stand up and tell the others what they did do in the last sprint, what they are planing to do in the next sprint and what blocks them currently. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Factory Stauts Page What we have done: Merged status page from the staging branch to the master branch. We currently miss version information. Tom is working with Adrian on the next OBS release that contains our fixes. What we want to do: We fill the version attributes. AI Everybody: Discuss the next milestone on FOSDEM. What is blocking us: Nothing * Centralized Developer Documentation What we have done: The whole migration came to a scratching halt after another discussion was started about fundamental things like Namespaces and the like. Tom fixed meanwhile the last couple of bugs in the iChain mediawiki extension. So we're technical good to go but need to bring the discussion to an end again... What we are planing to do: Henne wants to bring the others up to speed on FOSDEM about the Portal Template. What is blocking us: The discussions on opensuse-wiki at the moment. * Umbrella What we have done: Not much. People where on leave or buried in bugs. What we are planing to do: Discuuss ideas with Robert who is now finally back. What is blocking us: Bugs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, What I did last week: - upstream version in status page: + finish the script I was working on + run script to fill the attributes (took one hour to run...) + setup a cron job to keep the upstream versions in attributes up-to-date, handling failures correctly (ie, retry later) + after discussion on irc, looked at moving the code about attributes from webui to the status api. Got an initial patch that most probably doesn't work :-) - helped a bit with L3 bugs - shared on opensuse-gnome a list of features I'd like to see implemented for openSUSE 11.3 - GNOME Foundation: + board meeting + lots of mails and discussions, as usual - had long discussions with various people (from the community and from companies) about GNOME 3 and GNOME contributions in general - prepared FOSDEM: + chatted with coolo to get a complete overview of how package descriptions get translated, and looked a bit at all this afterwards + wrote some slides - travelled to FOSDEM. I'll write a separate report for FOSDEM since I need to sort my notes What I didn't do last week: - prepare the GNOME 3 talk I'll give on Thursday What I plan this week: - work on many new action items I gave to myself during FOSDEM - investigate potential issue with some upstream version not being set in attributes (reported by coolo) - test the patch to move the upstream data in the status api - really prepare the GNOME 3 talk, and deliver it - release a few GNOME tarballs for 2.29.90, and package the release (or review the submissions done by the community) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Status Factory.o.o
by Stephan Kulow 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hi, As the stage instance had 3 goals grouped together, I took the effort and split the huge patch into smaller parts and merged the most important back into master: the status page and it's related features. So https://build.opensuse.org/stage/project/status?project=openSUSE:Factory is now the master branch that we normally deploy on build.o.o, so once verified that everything still works I will put it live. It will then be a "hidden" page without any linkage. For this linkage we kind of need the other goal: simplification of the project page, but this goal is kind of stuck as we tried to align with the umbrella design - which is stuck itself. But our current sprint is done with the "hidden" page - once we finished the version information and the maintainer infos I call it a sprint :) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Week report 2010#4
by Vincent Untz 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hi, What I did last week: - upstream version in status page: + I have a patch ready for the webui, just waiting to have attributes defined + first pass at the script that would fill the attributes based on the data obtained via Marcus' scripts and my scripts - review upstream patches - released tarballs of GNOME 2.29.6 (and packaged even more tarballs) - send abstracts for LinuxTag and RMLL (french conf): + GNOME 3 (both) + let Henne write an abstract about contributing to openSUSE (LinuxTag) and then realized I had to write one for the RMLL anyway ;-) + using the build service to package for multiple distros (RMLL) - had a meeting with Anne from Mandriva about a talk we'll do together at FOSDEM around translations of package descriptions. This will be more a discussion than a talk since we want feedback from various distros. - wrote some thoughts after news of Zonker leaving - and the usual GNOME Foundation work... What I plan this week: - get the OBS attributes I need for the upstream version and make sure the script I wrote works really fine - prepare the FOSDEM talk^Wdiscussion I'll moderate about GNOME and upstream - prepare a long talk I'm giving next week on GNOME 3 (this is for the local LUG) - maybe some time for upstream coding? - GNOME Foundation meeting - discover where I'll sleep in Brussels :-) - will leave for FOSDEM on Friday morning Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org
