* Promoting 11.0 (vuntz / hobbsc)
- hobbsc and vuntz started promotion blog entries, we should do all the
same
- A series of articles about user-friendly specific 11.0 stuff
+ new features (pulseaudio, randr1.2, zypper, packagekit
+ more high-level stuff, like 'how to use os as media center',
'business desktop (word processing, etc)', etc
+ stuff for developers to grow the developers base
+ what about looking for help with other distros for linux-generic
stuff (mostly everything is just linux, not specific to a distro)
- Boxed set delivery is free
- Someone wants to write a sneak peeks article for 11.0?
AI: suseROCKs to create http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/TopicstoWrite
* Helping Hands Launch (suseROCKs)
- http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/HowTos created, please review
- We need people to submit topics and volunteer to be a Helping Hands
expert
- Suggest ideas & enlist at http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/HowTos/HelpingHandsTopics
* Nominating Bug-X for Maintenance Updates (jpr)
- Tag potential updates with gnome-update keyword
- Developers, ask Anja for a SWAMP-ID
* Use bugzilla instead of wiki for AI's (rodrigo / vuntz)
- People forget too easily their AIs on the wiki, so why not use bugzilla?
- Used for tracking things, so makes sense, would just need a new AI
component, eg
- We need some AI master to nag constantly people about their AIs, or
some automatic application that reminds people before the AIs reach
their timeline
AI: rodrigo to mail henne for creating products/components
AI: captain_magnus to become the AI master
* Bug Triage Policy (jpr)
- Bug tagging was quite successful for 11.0, helped us focus on user
impact rather than technical severity
- More aspects to bug handling inconsistent, proposal to fix them:
+ http://en.opensuse.org/User:Jproseve/TriageProposal
+ Attempts to better define severities
+ It moves to priority rather than severity as the first order
driver of what gets fixed
+ It pushes for being better citizens upstream with bug filing
in bugzilla.gnome.org and other upstream bugzilla
+ it attempts to clearly define a triage process some that
technical but not necessarily developers can easily perform it
in a repeatable manner
- Proposal sent to the KDE team also
* Start discussing 11.1 features (vuntz)
- http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Ideas/11.1 <- please review, still has
items already done for 11.0
- We need people to think hard about what they want for 11.1
* Agenda for upcoming meeting (casualprogrammer)
- Helping hands update (suseROCKs)
- 11.1 features
- Bug triage
- AI master update

In one unrelated thread on opensuse mail list was mentioned package usage
survey, which reminded me that installing latest Ubuntu in VirtualBox to see
what they offer, I noted this to think about:
+ popularity contest: package usage survey
+ short explanation on Synaptic start that software is organized in packages
etc. which for old Linux guys is the way they live, but for majority of new
users is discovery
+ bug-buddy
+ hwdb-client hardware devices, logs, QA data collection

The board has approved the openSUSE board election proposal as
written up on this list
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2008-03/msg00252.html with
the change that for now the board will do the membership approval, the
details are now in the wiki at http://en.opensuse.org/Board/Election.
We discussed the membership approval and consider that right now a task
for the board - and not a burden - and also do not want to give the
election committee too much work.
We're now asking for volunteers for the openSUSE election team to drive
the election process.
The members of the election team have the following duty:
* Drive the openSUSE board elections - this means the complete process
starting by collecting volunteers, deciding on how to do the voting,
driving the setup of any tools for the voting, announcing the election
and results.
Note: Members of the election team will not be able to stand up for the
openSUSE board election themselves.
If you're interested, please mail the openSUSE board at
board(a)opensuse.org,
Andreas
