Devel Digest, Vol 29, Issue 93

[Greg Smith]

Hi Brian, Michael, et al,

Thanks for the notes.

On this:
* What build should you be testing / providing packages for?
     8.2 stream has some divergence 
http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/8.2-joyride.html

I'm still not sure which image to spend my time on and QA is asking the 
same.

Can you pick the version (joyride-xxxx) you want us to focus on for 
testing and release notes writing?

Thanks,

Greg S

Can you get it down to olpc-update

Gobby notes from #olpc-meeting irc.freenode.net 2PM

= Agenda from http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-July/016583.html
=== Status
Review last week action items

* Where are we? (freeze status, general bugginess, ...)
     Differences between this and last week:
     	Bugs have been fixed
     	Nailing down states for action-needed field
     	Tomeu's report based on those states http://tinyurl.com/5kr77g
     	Learned of some breakage through tinderbox:
     		http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tinderbox
     Two weeks in which to get out a plausible release candidate
     	Goal to have something pass the smoke test
* What build should you be testing / providing packages for?
     8.2 stream has some divergence 
http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/8.2-joyride.html
     Possibility of 8.1.2

* how do we resolve/trac/assign touchpad work?

=== Resourcing
Developers--profile yourself: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Profiles

* Bugs
#6825
#7357 - cjb: not fixed yet (see comment)
#7378
library stuff is still getting installed in /usr/share/activities
instead of /usr/share/sugar/activities

* Sugar seems like it needs help.

* Collaboration really needs help.
Devel team isn't hearing regularly from collabora developers
     daf and guillaume are currently sending in weekly reports to tech-team
3 release contracts for 8.2 around collaboration:
http://dev.laptop.org/report/18
#7387
#7389
#7390

* Library stuff really needs help.

* We've got a lot of things ready for testing by QA that aren't being 
tested.
   What's the hangup?
     Testbeds scattered all over - Nortel, Princeton, 1cc, we need to
help them set up for testing
     Fedora folks can't test
     Wad's scientific testing:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Collaboration_Network_Testbed


=== Miscellanea
* Walter's Peru Security update?
* Backwards compatibility?
* What should we be considering for our next release?
* Tickets for Wednesday?

= Action items
brian: Send meeting minutes out to devel at laptop.org
tomeu: Send m_stone better times for meetings for the Sugar team
