[Testing] Community test meeting minutes, 10/30/2008

[Mel Chua]

Thanks to everyone who came out to the first community test meeting 
tonight! I'd like to point out that we lasted *exactly* 22 seconds under 
our set 1-hour meeting time while still getting through a very 
nontrivial agenda and wrapping it up completely. Pretty amazing. Mad 
props to everyone!

We had a great discussion on Activity testing tonight and ended up 
breaking it down into 3 subproblems that we'll need to tackle to move 
forward. I'm looking forward to seeing what people have come up with at 
next week's meeting...

1. How do we prioritize Activities to test? (gregdek)
2. How can we display testing metrics in places and ways that will 
motivate community developers and testers? (cjl)
3. Let's look at the current procedure being used to get Activities 
through Testing - how can we improve it? (lfaraone, mchua)

Log is at http://meeting.laptop.org/olpc-meeting.log.20081030_1700.html 
- all logs and notes for the meeting are linked from

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to take on something between now and 
next week (gregdek, cjl, lfaraone, cjb, frandog) - check out action 
items here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Testing_meetings/20081030#Action_items

Speaking of the next meeting - we'll go at the same time, same place 
next week, #olpc-meeting on Nov. 6, 2200 UTC (5pm EST). Pre-agenda is at 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Testing_meetings/2008-11-06 About half of the 
meeting time will be spent in a brainstorm on Sugar Activities that 
could be made to help community testing - it'll be fun.

As usual, if anything is vague/unclear/needs more detail to make sense, 
*please ask*. If you have a topic that you'd like to bring up during the 
meeting, would like to present something, or otherwise have suggestions, 
please holler to the list.

Thanks again, and looking forward to seeing everyone for community test 
meeting #2!

PS: If you have suggestions for a better meeting time, I'd love to hear 
them; I know the weekday early-evening thing might not be great for 
everyone, and I'd like to find a time/venue that will let the most 
people participate.
