GeneralAntillesFor the new folks, there's an overview of the process on http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo.org_Sprints14:55
dnearyHey hey!14:57
dnearyAs Pink said, I'm coming up, so...14:58
jeremiah_Always good to quote Pink.14:58

-!- bergie_ [n=bergie@nemein.suvilahti.nemein.net] has joined #maemo-meeting14:59
GeneralAntillesAlright, hello everybody.15:00
-!- fr01 [n=fr@212.30.2.18] has joined #maemo-meeting15:00
GeneralAntillesHopefully qgil will wander in15:01
GeneralAntillesTim's not able to make it.15:01
GeneralAntillesI'm going to run through the tasks by commit date this time (oldest to newest—recommended by qgil)15:01
GeneralAntillesSo, shall we get started then?15:02
X-FadeSure15:02
GeneralAntillesX-Fade, Downloads redesign?15:02
danielwilmshi all...yep15:02
X-FadeI had no time to advance on that between the new site design work and the repository work..15:02
GeneralAntillesDon't blame you. ;)15:03
GeneralAntillesCarry it over to next sprint, then?15:03
X-FadeBut I hope to work pick some changes for next sprint..15:03
GeneralAntillesOK, how about the external repositories? Same story, I presume.15:03
GeneralAntilles(didn't help with that even though I said I would)15:04
X-FadeYeah, we need to put that on Jeremiah, I think..15:04
X-Fade;)15:04
jeremiah_I hope to do some of the repo work, or at least pick up some of what Niels wants to give away. ;)15:04
GeneralAntillesThat sounds like a good plan.15:04
jeremiah_Should we say that I do fremantle repos?15:04
GeneralAntillesGives jeremiah_ a nice opportunity to open communications with some maintainers.15:04
GeneralAntillesjeremiah_, new tasks come later, for now we're just reviewing the existing stuff. ;)15:05
jeremiah_GeneralAntilles: Gotcha.15:05
danielwilmsI talked to niels today and try to help on the repo 15:05
-!- woglinde [i=woglinde@e178114187.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #maemo-meeting15:05
GeneralAntillesX-Fade, jeremiah_, do we want to transfer ownership of the external repositories task to jeremiah_?15:05
jeremiah_Fine with me.15:06
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: Sure, or backlog it somehow. This is not going to be solved by next sprint.15:06
GeneralAntillesYeah, a good point.15:06
X-FadeWould be nice though ;)15:06
GeneralAntillesWe didn't manage to 100% a single task this sprint, so backlog doesn't sound bad.15:06
GeneralAntillesOK, backlogged and transfered to jeremiah_15:06
* jeremiah_ plunk15:06
-!- RST38h [i=marat@trantor.komkon.org] has joined #maemo-meeting15:07
GeneralAntillesNo qgil, so next up is dneary.15:07
GeneralAntillesdneary, maemo.org/support?15:07
dnearyHi there15:07
dnearystarted the plain web page just now15:07
dnearyShould have it done within a half hour of the end of the meeting15:07
GeneralAntillesHehe, OK, that sounds good.15:08
dnearyGeneralAntilles: I was 100% on the task "run the Community Council referenda"15:08
dnearyIt never got added to the list15:08
GeneralAntillesdneary, looks like dneary's our winner for this Sprint, then. :D15:08
dnearyI've also made great progress on "Modify election application to handle preferential voting"15:08
X-Fadedneary: Next time, add those tasks to the wiki page please ;)15:08
dnearyNext sprint Big Stuff: Finis modifying the council software to actually *count* the votes15:08
X-Fadedneary: You did great work, show it!15:09
dnearyX-Fade: I did bring them  up during the last sprint meeting15:09
dnearyAnd thanks :)15:09
dnearyAnd run the council elections15:09
GeneralAntillesIndeed.15:09
dnearyAnd probably dive into the Maemo Summit pro'ly15:09
dnearyprop'ly15:09
dnearyAnd deploy the new site (X-Fade, back me up - definitely 100% this sprint?)15:10
X-Fadedneary: You probably didn't notice because you didn't file a single activity log report?15:10
dnearyX-Fade: That might be the reason15:10
dnearyX-Fade: I should write a GNOME Do plug-in to add daily sprint reports15:11
dnearyOr a twitter to daily sprint report bridge15:11
GeneralAntillesX-Fade and I were discussing making it easier to add progress reports earlier.15:11
X-Fadedneary: I think we should add publish www.maemo.org new styling as a task, yes.15:11
GeneralAntillesWe can hit on the new tasks later, though. ;)15:11
GeneralAntillesOK, no Quim again.15:11
GeneralAntillesand missing ferenc and tekojo15:11
dnearyOK15:11
GeneralAntillesX-Fade, happen to know what git's status is?15:11
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: Working beta.15:12
jeremiah_GeneralAntilles: Do you mean git on garage.maemo.org?15:12
jeremiah_Because I am using it on g.m.o15:12
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: Still some issues, not finished.15:12
GeneralAntillesX-Fade, I suppose the "Define what is needed to get git on maemo.org" part is finished?15:13
GeneralAntillesjeremiah_, yeah, that's the one.15:13
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: Probably, it is now in the implementation phase.15:13
X-FadeBut I'd need to ask Ferenc for a status update.15:13
jeremiah_One known issue is that when you add a www/ dir with git, it does not get populated to the home page for the project15:13
GeneralAntillesX-Fade, think you could do that then maybe commit a "Deploy git.maemo.org" task if appropriate?15:14
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: Technically tekojo is owner of this task and Ferenc is doing the work.15:14
GeneralAntillesGood point, actually, do we have a bugzilla component for it or should we just file under Garage?15:14
Stskeepsif it's possible to develop https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3319&group_id=841&atid=3136 and https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3320&group_id=841&atid=3136 regarding git.maemo.org it would be immensely useful :P (side point, apologies for breaking in)15:15
X-FadeI don't know what they agreed upon.15:15
GeneralAntillesX-Fade, OK, I'll bug tekojo and find out.15:15
GeneralAntillesHopefully he'll pop in before the end.15:15
GeneralAntillesMoving on, then.15:15
GeneralAntillesX-Fade and/or bergie, implementing the new layout and style?15:15
X-FadeLots of progress, not done yet.15:16
dnearyGeneralAntilles: Have you seen newstyle.maemo.org?15:16
GeneralAntillesdneary, yeah, we were poking around the new wiki style earlier.15:16
GeneralAntillesIt's looking quite spiffy.15:16
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: Shhhht ;) Secret ;)15:16
GeneralAntillesX-Fade, open! open! open! :P15:17
GeneralAntillesWe gotta show Nokia the right way to do it. ;)15:17
X-FadeWell that one is also not done yet ;)15:17
GeneralAntillesWe're definitely on track for a March deployment, though?15:17
X-FadeEnd of March, yes.15:18
GeneralAntillesExcellent--carrying over15:18
RST38hnewstyle.maemo.org is kinda awkward15:18
GeneralAntillesRST38h, end of March, not end of February. ;)15:18
GeneralAntillesRST38h, web design meetings are every Tuesday at 1400 UTC.15:19
RST38hGeneral: I do not think I can influence the design by participating in a meeting15:19
X-FadeRST38h: Well, you can't in this one.15:19
GeneralAntillesOK, still no Quim. andre__, bugzilla patches?15:20
andre__yeah... moving slowly, but having an overview now15:20
andre__i want to come up with a basic schedule (and separate steps) for it in the next week so it becomes more transparent, for me too15:20
RST38hSo, just making a comment that it is kinda awkward (two input boxes in a column for search and login and featured programs seem out of place)15:20
RST38hAnd of course huge wasted space at the right, just as I warned before15:20
GeneralAntillesandre__, OK, so we'll commit just the one for now and you can break it up late at your discretion.15:21
GeneralAntillesRST38h, here is neither the time nor the place.15:21
andre__not much else to say; apart from that usual business (feature jar, fremantle alpha changelog, usual business)15:21
andre__yupp, that's the plan15:21
GeneralAntilless/late/later/15:21
GeneralAntillesAlright, sounds good. Carrying over.15:21
GeneralAntillesjeremiah_, welcome to the spotlight! ;)15:21
GeneralAntillesWelcome, congratulations, and all that again. :)15:22
GeneralAntilleslintian for QA? How's progress?15:22
jeremiah_lintian for qa? I think progress is pretty good15:22
jeremiah_lintian will not make apps fail to build15:23
jeremiah_which is good15:23
jeremiah_there are lots of things to do 15:23
jeremiah_we'll need to codify policy so developers know why lintian is complaining15:23
jeremiah_And to put its error messages on the web somewhere15:23
GeneralAntillesThe task was "analyzing the suitability of lintian for QA", so I guess we can mark that completed?15:24
X-FadeProgress has also been made to get the changes Nokia made to their lintian.15:24
jeremiah_I can't tell you how many times I got no hits for a lintian warning.15:24
jeremiah_GeneralAntilles: Sorry - yes, that task is complete15:24
jeremiah_Yeah, lintian has been adapted inside Nokia somewhere and we are supposed to get those patches15:24
jeremiah_I have set up a site on garage and called the new tool maemian15:25
jeremiah_I have not yet spoken about it officially because it is not quite ready15:25
GeneralAntillesOK, sounds good. So I guess wecan look at "Maemoizing" lintian and deploying it for the autobuilder/Extras for the next Sprint?15:26
jeremiah_GeneralAntilles: Yes, that sounds like a plan15:26
GeneralAntillesOK, excellent.15:26
GeneralAntillesLooks like I skipped Hirvinen (sorry, Hirvinen!).15:26
GeneralAntillesSo, Hirvinen, application karma?15:26
HirvinenNo resolution on what it is that should be done.15:27
GeneralAntillesYeah, discussion is still ongoing.15:27
GeneralAntillesHow about we commit putting together a plan for the next Sprint, then?15:28
X-FadeThere have been some discussions on the mailinglist. I think we need to use karma for applications to show 'hot' applications.15:28
GeneralAntillesThen we can focus on implementation once everybody's decided what they actually want. :D15:28
X-FadeYeah, conclusion needs to be made and then Hirvinen can start.15:28
GeneralAntillesHirvinen, do you want to handle finalizing the plan, or hand it off to somebody else?15:29
HirvinenI can make a plan.15:29
GeneralAntillesOK, cool, we'll commit "Finalize plan for application karma", then?15:30
HirvinenWho should I get to ok it before implementing?15:30
HirvinenAnd do you mean "agree on a plan during March" that + implementation.15:31
GeneralAntillesX-Fade? I think you probably have a good vision on what we really want and why we want it.15:31
GeneralAntillesHirvinen, well, I'm not convinced that we'll figure out a plan in time for you to actually implement it by the end of the month. ;)15:31
X-FadeSure.15:31
GeneralAntillesIf we do and you can, that'll be wonderful, but swift and agile planning has never been one of our strong points. :P15:32
GeneralAntillesOK then, we'll get the plan together this Sprint, X-Fade will be the man with the launch codes, and if we manage to get together in time for Hirvinen to implement it, great, if not, we'll get it done the sprint after.15:33
HirvinenHow about a 7 days from this == 12th day deadline for accepting the plan? I'll probably have time to implement unless the agreed on plan is more complicated than I expect?15:33
GeneralAntillesHirvinen, that sounds good. We'll shoot for that as a soft deadline, then.15:34
GeneralAntillesI'll see what I can do to drive some more discussion and we'll get this thing settled.15:34
Hirvinenok15:34
GeneralAntillesAlright, with that we move on to the next Sprint15:34
GeneralAntillesDoes anyone have any objections to any of the tasks we've carried over (only Reducing 3rd-party repositories was backlogged)?15:35
GeneralAntillesNo?15:36
jeremiah_question15:36
GeneralAntillesYessir?15:36
jeremiah_The reduction of third party repos -15:36
jeremiah_this is what we meant by "external repos" no?15:36
GeneralAntillesRight15:36
jeremiah_And this is what I ought to be working on15:37
GeneralAntillesReducing all of those non-maemo.org or nokia.com community repos.15:37
jeremiah_(at least partly?)15:37
jeremiah_Okay, cool. I just like things to be explicit. :)15:37
GeneralAntillesWell, the backlog tasks can be worked on however much or as little as anybody wants.15:37
jeremiah_aha, okay.15:37
GeneralAntillesIt's sort of a long-term task, so there's really no chance of it being completed in this next Sprint.15:37
GeneralAntillesSo there isn't much point in committing it for it.15:37
GeneralAntillesX-Fade and I can get you up to speed on it later.15:38
jeremiah_Great.15:38
GeneralAntillesOK, is there anything from the backlog that anybody would like to pick up and commit? https://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo.org_backlog15:38
jeremiah_I looked at the search bug and it appears to me that Xapian would be a good fit here15:39
jeremiah_So I would like to try to implement a package search with xapian15:39
GeneralAntillesferenc was supposedly going to work on packages.maemo.org months and months ago15:39
jeremiah_Do people think that would be a valuable addition?15:39
GeneralAntillesBut I don't know what the status is there.15:40
GeneralAntillesYes, most definitely.15:40
GeneralAntillesAnything to finally kill of gronmayer. ;)15:40
GeneralAntilless/of/off/15:40
GeneralAntillesjeremiah_, I'm not sure I would recommend committing it, though.15:40
jeremiah_I suppose I should speak with ferenc to make sure we don't duplicate work.15:40
X-Fadejeremiah_: By all means. Go for it ;)15:40
GeneralAntillesWith the Fremantle repository stuff and the QA stuff.15:40
jeremiah_GeneralAntilles: Good point.15:40
GeneralAntillesIt's up to you though if you think you can finish it up by the end of this sprint.15:40
GeneralAntillesYou're free to work on it from the backlog and if you happen to finish it up, all the better.15:41
jeremiah_I will poke around at it today, and if it looks like low-hanging fruit I will commit - if not, I'll leave it in the backlog15:41
GeneralAntillesAlright, that's fine.15:41
GeneralAntillesOK, how about proposals? https://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo.org_proposals15:41
GeneralAntillesdneary's going to finish up the election software, begin drafting a Summit plan, run the Council election and deploy the new site?15:42
dnearyYup15:42
danielwilmsis it ok when I have a look at the SSO concept??15:42
dnearyDraft a Summit plan: not so much15:42
dnearyGet a Summit venue this month15:43
GeneralAntillesdneary, nothing to commit for the Summit, then?15:43
dnearyVenue15:43
GeneralAntillesAh, OK.15:43
dnearyMost important item. Real Stuff, not plans :)15:43
dnearySCRUM :)15:43
* GeneralAntilles adds "Figure out venue"15:43
GeneralAntillesdanielwilms, sure, feel free.15:43
X-Fadedanielwilms: You can look at it, sure. But beware that it is a far larger task than you realise now.15:44
jeremiah_Yeah, doesn't that involve LDAP?15:44
jeremiah_Yuck.15:44
X-Fadedanielwilms: Don't get burnt the first day ;)15:44
GeneralAntillesWe're not committing an SSO task until we have a plan for every application. ;)15:44
danielwilmsyep...I assume that...but I think it would be a good thing to get an overview of all the different tools15:44
X-Fadedanielwilms: A good start would be to create a wiki page with an overview and plan, yes.15:45
danielwilmsand I will see how far I can get...this was the plan :)15:45
X-Fadedanielwilms: But any progress on this subject is good.15:45
GeneralAntillesdanielwilms, progress on that will make a lot of people very happy. ;)15:46
GeneralAntillesOK, any HIGH bugs (bug list links are in the topic) that need to change status?15:46
-!- andre___ [n=andre@g224237009.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #maemo-meeting15:46
dnearyI will also create a conference check-list, based on what Quim did for last year's15:46
dnearyNo need to Task: me on that though15:47
GeneralAntillesKarma bugs have GOT to be out of the system before the election starts.15:47
X-FadeGeneralAntilles: Most bugs have been fixed, but we need to re-import the mail database.15:47
-!- tekojo [n=tekojo@a91-154-122-100.elisa-laajakaista.fi] has joined #maemo-meeting15:48
X-FadeFor it to show, that is.15:48
dnearyGeneralAntilles: I will be taking karma totals for the electorate on Tuesday15:48
dnearyAnd account registration dates too15:48
GeneralAntillesIs there any chance of having -community counted by Tuesday?15:48
GeneralAntillesHi, tekojo.15:48
tekojoHi, sorry for being late15:48
dnearyOh - I'll also be looking for beta testers to check the voting app15:48
X-Fadebergie_: ?15:48
tekojolife got in the way15:48
GeneralAntillesWe're docking you 10 awesome points, tekojo, sorry. :P15:48
bergie_X-Fade: yes, there is a chance... we could try to import it tomorrow15:49
dnearyAnd bergie_, X-Fade, if one of you could clear time for Monday to help deploy the updated election app, I'd appreciate it15:49
X-Fadedneary: Sure.15:49
-!- RST38h [i=marat@trantor.komkon.org] has left #maemo-meeting []15:49
GeneralAntillesSo, please, please, please, see what we can do about karma.15:50
GeneralAntillesI don't want to get reelected and having to put out disenfranchisement fires. ;)15:50
GeneralAntillesOK, so no movement on the HIGH bugs15:51
GeneralAntillesAny MEDIUM bugs we want to change?15:51
GeneralAntilleshttps://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2495 might go up depending on what jeremiah_ decides.15:52
GeneralAntilleshttps://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3576 this needs to be figured out before the new site goes live.15:52
jeremiah_ :)15:52
GeneralAntillestekojo, happen to have any idea Nokia Legal side?15:52
bergie_yeah, and IMO the footer should be the same (except different powered by etc) for all systems15:52
tekojoGeneralAntilles: I'll continue that quest15:53
GeneralAntillesbergie_, adding a comment to the bug.15:53
GeneralAntillestekojo, I suspect Quim may have something to say about it, but we'll see.15:53
tekojoGeneralAntilles: He has, and that's good15:53
GeneralAntillesIs https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3972 perhaps going hand-in-hand with the new site deployment?15:54
GeneralAntilles(maybe that bug is too long-term, though)15:54
X-FadeYeah, along with the world domination one..15:55
GeneralAntillesLeave it at MEDIUM then?15:55
GeneralAntillesHehe15:55
GeneralAntillesOK, anything else?15:56
GeneralAntillesWell, one final note then:15:57
GeneralAntillesSprint reporting has gone down the tubes.15:57
jeremiah_I haven't been _so_ bad :P15:58
GeneralAntillesWe gotta do better this time.15:58
GeneralAntillesYes, props to the new guy for showing us all how it SHOULD be done. :D15:58
jeremiah_Niels was pretty adamant about it. :)15:58
GeneralAntillesI'm going to look into some sort of form system on the wiki to make it slightly less painful to add your reports.15:59
GeneralAntillesBut we really need to make sure we do it.15:59
GeneralAntillesIf not for the community and our much lauded openness, then for selfish reasons like helping you keep track of what you're doing and what you need to get done. ;)15:59
GeneralAntillesAlright then, enough admonishment.16:00
GeneralAntillesWe've got a bit month ahead of us, so good luck to everybody.16:00
GeneralAntillesMeeting adjourned. ;)16:00
GeneralAntillesThanks!16:00
X-Fade;)16:00
jeremiah_Indeed, should be exciting!16:00
GeneralAntilless/bit/big/ :>16:00
* GeneralAntilles goes and gets breakfast before updating the wiki.16:01
