[heroes] RFC: Preparing meeting at 2017-03-05, 18:00 UTC
Hi As I had some topics in mind for our next meeting, that I don't want to forget, I started to think about where to save them... Other teams have some information about their meetings in the wiki - so I started to setup https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes/Meetings ...but during that, I felt that it might be also a good idea to use our admin tool also to collect the topics and provide a schedule - so I ended up with: https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/opensuse-admin/issues?query_id=36 which is a custom query containing only issues reported in the Redmine Category "Event". My idea is to use this Category maybe also for Conferences and other stuff later. Using: https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/opensuse-admin/issues/calendar?query_... should provide you with an overview of upcoming events. One problem might be that I did not find a way to include the time in the calendar, so I used the summary for it. But I hope this is a not so problematic issue for now. Instead of putting the topics in the description, I hope it's a good idea using a checklist instead (as everybody can easily add a checklist entry that will then be added in the top) - but we can also change this. What do you think? Would that work also for you - and help to organize our meeting? with kind regards, Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner@opensuse.org

I'd recommend not to include the description in the query output - it might look like a good idea now, but on the long term (and with more meetings), it will just add superfluous stuff to the list page. And to make things even worse, the meeting topics in the checklist are _not_ included in the description, which makes it basically useless. A general problem in redmine is that it remembers query settings too good ;-) which means: if you are viewing that custom query and then click on the "Tickets" menu item, it will still give you the events list instead of all tickets. (This isn't specific to the events list, it applies to all queries.) Maybe we just need a boring stored query "open tasks" (similar to "Tasks by category", but without grouping by category) which can act as "reset to default query parameters".
which is a custom query containing only issues reported in the Redmine Category "Event". My idea is to use this Category maybe also for Conferences and other stuff later.

I don't see that as a problem, and would even put the date in the summary (which would make it more visible in mails sent out by progress.o.o). So for the next meeting, I'd use the summary 2017-03-05 18:00 UTC openSUSE Heroes meeting (ISO date is better sortable than month names ;-)

This looks like a good way to organize the meeting. We can also attach the IRC log after the meeting to have everything in one place. Some high-level complaints - the checklist has two small disadvantages: - we can't sort the checklist (or I didn't find out yet ;-) - when adding an item, the diff is unreadable ("item added: $foo" would be more useful) Is http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_checklists the checklist plugin we use? If so, updating to the latest version should fix these issues ;-) Still, using the checklist is much better than adding topics in the comments. IMHO it's also better than organizing meetings on en.o.o. Having meeting topics and logs there doesn't make too much sense - on the long run, they'll mostly be "old stuff" nobody cares about. I know we have the "Archive:" namespace for that, so it would be ok - but having a ticket per meeting looks like the better solution to me.

The "View all issues" link should do the trick for you.

There is a package that might get updated - once someone starts to review my submission 460163 and pushes it to the openSUSE:infrastructure repository... *wink* ...an update of progress to the latest redmine would also not harm, IMHO. ;-) Regards, Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner@opensuse.org
