<p>Attending: Alex, Kim, Michael, Danny, Bernie, Ricardo
</p><p>Test Sprint -
</p>
<ol><li> Review of test plans on the wiki
</li><li> Test Activity
</li><li> Tinderbox
</li></ol>
<ul><li> Michael summarized the Test Activity logging feature: purpose
is to reduce the cost of testing by distributing the testing and
automate the logging upload. In the short term, we should focus on
getting the logging
<ul><li> Modify sugar to put a wrapper around an activity to turn on
its logging. Then a crash or a user initiated activity close will zip
up files and send them to a central server.
</li><li> The central server can start off with a generic account
(perhaps password-less smtp, or something). Could possibly have a local
smtp server to send an email with attachment. </li><li> Start with a list of the system status (build version, firmware versions, maybe some of Yani's network config info)
</li><li> Is there a lot of overlap with syslog? Bernie can probably help with getting the logs
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<ul><li> The three pieces that need to work for this are:
<ol><li> Local collection of logs
</li><li> Packaging of the logs for sending
</li><li> Reliable delivery in the face of network downtime
</li></ol>
</li></ul>
<p>Things we learned from sprint:
</p>
<ul><li> Takes too long to get outside developers up to speed and contributing
<ul><li> focused documentation
</li><li> too much overhead to get hosting for access to git repository
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<ul><li>On the manual side, we also didn't have enough planning to get people going quickly:
<ul><li> Need to get on Trac
</li><li> Need to get on mailing lists
</li><li> Need to get on irc
</li><li> Need to edit wiki pages
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<p>Should we have someone spend a few hours on the getting started wiki
pages so that new developers or testers really can get started.
</p><p>Should we hire someone to organize the community efforts; answer their questions <br></p>(<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/TestMtg%252C_2007-10-22">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/TestMtg%2C_2007-10-22</a>)<br><p><br>
