UDS

  • Most all blueprints have been submitted
  • rickspencer3 notes that there will be time set aside for impromptu sessions at UDS
  • bryce thinks that there are too many xorg sessions planned, and will pair them down.
  • rickspencer3 and pitti will review, sort, and prioritize sessions
  • rickspencer3 will schedule sessions
  • Consensus that QA and community needs to be part of the discussion

Desktop Summit

  • [17:39] <awe> thanks

  • [17:39] <rickspencer3> moving on

  • [17:39] <rickspencer3> actions from last meeting:

  • [17:39] <rickspencer3> ACTION: rickspencer3 to get definitive list of who has talks at all hands to double check that everyone who has one is prepared

  • [17:39] <rickspencer3> I totally FAILed at this, but I'm still trying

  • [17:39] <rickspencer3> there must be a list somewhere Smile :)

  • [17:39] <pitti> the track leads certainly have themm

  • [17:39] <rickspencer3> pitti: good idea

  • [17:40] <rickspencer3> I was looking for the one list to rule them all, but just pinging track leads should work

  • [17:40] <asac> so can we assume that we dont have a talk if we didnt hear anything yet?

  • [17:40] <pitti> rickspencer3: or ask cvd, when I talked to her on the phone last week she had the schedule

  • [17:40] <rickspencer3> asac: I think that we *shouldn't* assume that yet, as I am concerned that perhaps some emails were filtered out in spam filters

  • [17:41] <asac> rickspencer3: who would have sent such a mail?

  • [17:41] <rickspencer3> some people got emails saying their talks *weren't* accepted, but it's not clear if this was consistent across tracks

  • [17:41] <asac> cvd?

  • [17:41] <asac> hmm.

  • [17:41] <asac> ok i will check with brian who submitted the talk

  • [17:41] <rickspencer3> asac: I'll take care of finding out asap and let you know

  • [17:41] <asac> thanks a lot

  • [17:42] <rickspencer3> next topic: UDS

  • [17:42] <rickspencer3> did everyone get their blueprints in?

  • [17:42] <kenvandine_wk> yup

  • [17:42] <bryce> asac, the email started with, "ENLARGE your member ship for your talk like you were on v1agr4!!!1!" you didn't get that one?

  • [17:42] <asac> bryce: oh ... i have more than 100 matches;)

  • [17:43] <bryce> asac: bingo

  • [17:43] <rickspencer3> hehe

  • [17:43] <pitti> I just have two, but they are both quite big, so I don't think I'd like to pile up more for karmic

  • [17:43] <pitti> since I also want to work on the devkit migration

  • [17:43] <bryce> rickspencer3: I've gone mine in, but there's too many; probably should trim them down a bit

  • [17:43] <rickspencer3> Riddell: I didn't see Kubuntu blueprints in pitti's link

  • [17:43] <asac> rickspencer3: blueprints without sessions dont need to be in yet?

  • [17:43] <rickspencer3> asac: I suppose so

  • [17:43] <miha> hello guys, 1. ubuntu with desktop effects likes to hang when you press notebook keys such as volume up when playing movies/down, 2. network manager fails to reconnect (you must enter password again and press connect)

  • [17:44] <pitti> https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/sprints/uds-karmic?searchtext=kubuntu

  • [17:44] <asac> rickspencer3: ok. thanks.

  • [17:44] <pitti> rickspencer3: they are prefixed kubuntu-

  • [17:44] <rickspencer3> miha: hi, we're in a meeting right now

  • [17:44] <miha> ok

  • [17:44] <miha> sorry

  • [17:44] <rickspencer3> you might want to ask in #ubuntu

  • [17:44] <rickspencer3> no problems, you're welcome to hang out

  • [17:44] <pitti> https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/sprints/uds-karmic?searchtext=kubuntu-karmic- is better

  • [17:44] <rickspencer3> pitti: thanks!

  • [17:44] <rickspencer3> Riddell rocks, as usual

  • [17:45] <rickspencer3> so essentially, pitti and rickspencer3 will sort, prioritize and such by eod Thursday

  • [17:45] <asac> rickspencer3: i will setup a blueprint about NM UI topics (first start, wizard, etc.) in karmic ... thats the only one left i want broader discussion on.

  • [17:45] <asac> doing that right after meeting

  • [17:45] <rickspencer3> asac: thanks

  • [17:45] <rickspencer3> anyone else have blueprints that need to be submitted?

  • [17:46] <rickspencer3> note that we have two rooms, but are covering Dx, Design, and Ubuntu1 in our track

  • [17:46] <asac> the prefix is ubuntu-desktop-... ?

  • [17:46] <asac> ah ubuntu-karmic

  • [17:46] <rickspencer3> none the less, I'd like to keep a lot of time unscheduled for impromptu sessions

  • [17:46] <rickspencer3> asac: right, the naming convention is ubuntu-karmic-*

  • [17:46] <pitti> asac: desktop-karmic-*

  • [17:46] <rickspencer3> heh

  • [17:46] * asac confused Wink ;)

  • [17:46] <rickspencer3> right desktop-karmic-*

  • [17:47] <rickspencer3> (my bad)

  • [17:47] <rickspencer3> Riddell confused me Smile :)

  • [17:47] <rickspencer3> so is everyone good to go with blueprints?

  • [17:48] <rickspencer3> moving on: Desktop Summit

  • [17:49] <rickspencer3> if you are going, please add yourself to the meeting page

  • [17:49] <rickspencer3> I created a little table there

  • [17:49] <Riddell> which meeting page?

  • [17:49] <rickspencer3> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2009-05-05

  • [17:49] <rickspencer3> Riddell: ^

  • [17:50] <rickspencer3> next topic: Triaging versus Bug Fixing/Closing in Karmic

  • [17:50] <rickspencer3> I just wanted to briefly bring this up as pitti and I have both been talking to desktop engineers, and it seems pretty universal that the current mix is not right

  • [17:50] <rickspencer3> I don't want to brainstorm about it here, but ...

  • [17:51] <pitti> it's not so much of a mix, as of a "when to stop?" and "what to look at" questions

  • [17:51] <rickspencer3> I think we should have a UDS talk about how to handle bug inflow

  • [17:51] <rickspencer3> pitti: sure

  • [17:51] <rickspencer3> that's a good way to put it

  • [17:52] <rickspencer3> I wanted to make two points now:

  • [17:52] <pedro_> count me in for that session, I'd love to help with that

  • [17:52] <rickspencer3> 1. We should tackle this problem as a team, but the implementation of any solutions may look different for each product area, as the problems manifest differently

  • [17:53] <rickspencer3> 2. We should consider *bold* action in Karmic

  • [17:53] <rickspencer3> pedro_: absolutely!

  • [17:53] <bryce> bold action?

  • [17:54] <rickspencer3> bryce: yes

  • [17:54] <miha> Comrades, we stand at edge of cliff. We must make a bold step forwards. (old Yugoslavian joke) Smile :)

  • [17:54] <rickspencer3> like don't think in terms of a 10% increase in throughput

  • [17:55] <rickspencer3> think about a 10 fold increase

  • [17:55] <rickspencer3> stretch your comfort zone

  • [17:55] <pitti> before we can determine/measure this, we first need to define "throughput"

  • [17:55] <pitti> in terms of "what do we want to achieve"

  • [17:55] <rickspencer3> pitti: hehe

  • [17:56] <asac> i think the ideal goal would be that developers can filter everything not triaged or so to /dev/null and spend all their time on real bug-fix work

  • [17:56] <asac> isntead of bugmail work

  • [17:56] <rickspencer3> asac: that's a great example

  • [17:56] <pitti> I liked the bug gravity idea

  • [17:56] <asac> bug-fix work == fix on own AND work with upstream

  • [17:57] <asac> pitti: what definition of gravity do you like?

  • [17:57] <pitti> to make us focus on what's most important, to maximize the usefulness

  • [17:57] <rickspencer3> bryce: make sense? It would be ideal if you felt that you could suggest radical approaches

  • [17:57] <calc> disable all desktop bug reporting without using apport would help get to the 10x throughput

  • [17:57] <rickspencer3> calc: yes!

  • [17:57] <asac> pitti: for the triaging or the bug-fixing?

  • [17:57] <pitti> asac: number of affected people, type of attached debugging information, number of dups, reported by core-dev member, etc.

  • [17:58] <asac> yeah

  • [17:58] <pitti> asac: triaging

  • [17:58] <pitti> I think once we got a bug to triaged/assigned, we are doing pretty good

  • [17:58] <rickspencer3> I think asac is suggesting "no triaging" for engineers!

  • [17:58] <pitti> the challenge is to pick the "right" ones

  • [17:58] <asac> pitti: i agree, but still developers would get rid of the triaging stage at all if possible

  • [17:58] <bryce> rickspencer3: it's still seeming rather ambiguous how to apply to X, but I'm listening

  • [17:58] <pitti> asac: unfortuantely their special knowledge is required very often

  • [17:59] <asac> pitti: thats true, but also depends on the area you look at

  • [17:59] <pitti> bryce: I think the point is that everyone shouldl think about the problem from his perspective

  • [17:59] <rickspencer3> bryce: here's a thought exercise, if you only had 1 hour a week to triage bugs, what would yo do with that time?

  • [17:59] <asac> pitti: for mozilla its 99.0% of bugmail that i doesnt require special skills

  • [17:59] <calc> for eg OOo there is very little if any triaging being done besides me currently, so i think getting the community to do more towards triaging would be needed before having engineers no longer do it

  • [17:59] <asac> just a guidance and man power

  • [17:59] <pitti> and thus at UDS we can share our thoughts

  • [17:59] <rickspencer3> anywho ... let's bring these ideas to UDS

  • [17:59] <calc> ok

  • [18:00] <asac> pitti: well it definitly requires special skills, but not at the early stages

  • [18:00] <pitti> asac: for triaging as in the medical sense ("set priority and look how many are affected"), that's probably very true

  • [18:00] <rickspencer3> I just wanted to plant the seed of thinking bold and trying something new and perhaps even agressive

  • [18:00] <rickspencer3> as pitti put it early "turn the problem upside down"

  • [18:00] <asac> pitti: yeah. for me it would be a huge improvement if my incoming queue would be just bugs that are properly prepared (thats what i refer to for triaging)

  • [18:01] <pitti> "Enter an 11-digit prime number to file this bug"

  • [18:01] <pitti> *cough*

  • [18:01] <rickspencer3> !

  • [18:01] <asac> the evaluation part of triaging needs to be done by developer. if we are also overloaded on that side we need gravity

  • [18:01] <asac> for that or more engineers Wink ;)

  • [18:01] <pitti> so, some questions to think about:

  • [18:02] <pitti> - Which kind of your typical bugs would you classify as "something I want to work on", and "something I want to look at", and "something I shouldn't look at"

  • [18:02] <bryce> rickspencer3: I guess if I had only an hour to triage, I'd use 45 min to write a launchpadlib script to automate the triaging, and then run that for the last 15 min Wink ;-)

  • [18:02] <pitti> - "how can I organize my bug queues in a way that I can process something to zero without getting overloaded"

  • [18:02] <kenvandine_wk> bryce: good answer Smile :)

  • [18:03] <pitti> bryce++

  • [18:03] <rickspencer3> kewl

  • [18:03] <pitti> - "which of my current work can be documented and automated"

  • [18:03] <rickspencer3> any other business?

=== bratsche_ is now known as bratsche

  • [18:04] <pitti> o/

  • [18:04] <pitti> I had a topic for -intel

  • [18:04] <pitti> so, we have our first alpha-1 next Thursday

  • [18:04] <pitti> I think it would be nice if we could upload -intel 2.7.0 and turn on UXA by default

  • [18:04] <pitti> so that we can run our karmic "target" architecture for as long as possible, and collect feedback early

  • [18:05] <pitti> given how long it takes to fix some of those bugs, we can't start early enough I think

  • [18:06] <pitti> bryce: do you think that's reasonable?

  • [18:06] <pitti> or is there something blocking that?

  • [18:06] <bryce> well

  • [18:07] <bryce> right now we have a lot of UXA bugs, and in talking with Intel I see we have some leverage to get attention on these

  • [18:07] <bryce> if we move ahead and enable UXA I sort of worry Intel may conclude that we no longer consider them blocking issues, and give them less priority

  • [18:07] <pitti> bryce: so you want them to fix the first wave of then first?

  • [18:07] <pitti> s/then/them/

  • [18:08] <bryce> ideally, yes, if it doesn't impact our schedule for KMS enablement

  • [18:08] <pitti> (btw, I enabled that here, but no noticeable difference, even with usplash disabled)

  • [18:08] <bryce> what I am doing these days is basically 75% triaging/upstreaming UXA bugs and 25% KMS preparations

  • [18:09] <bryce> I've written a script to generate reports on current state of UXA bugs, that I send to Intel

  • [18:09] <pitti> okay, I see

  • [18:09] <bryce> I'll send a copy of the next one to ubuntu-devel@ for transparency

  • [18:09] <pitti> bryce: so perhaps 2.7.0 with exa, as in the xorg-edgers PPA?

  • [18:09] <bryce> for KMS, I'm working on putting together a wiki page to howto and capture testing results... link in a sec

  • [18:10] <bryce> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting <-- still a WIP

  • [18:10] <bryce> pitti: yes 2.7.0/exa is available now from https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/

  • [18:11] <bryce> I can also upload that for karmic... I started doing that but got distracted for some reason. Should be up this week at the latest.

  • [18:11] <pitti> I just wondered whether there are specific reasons to hold it back

  • [18:11] <bryce> oh yeah I remember - the package in x-updates doesn't have the patches included in our 2.6.3 version, so I need to take time to do the merging

  • [18:11] <pitti> bryce: if you say that not enabling it by default yet will increase pressure to fix uxa bugs, so much the better Smile :)

  • [18:12] <bryce> that's the plan Smile :-)

  • [18:12] <pitti> ok, thanks for the heads-up

  • [18:12] <bryce> so far there are >20 bugs which will be regressions once we enable UXA

  • [18:13] <bryce> those are freshly tested; and that seems like a lot to me given that people are having to manually enable it at this point, I'd like to cut that down a lot before switching over

  • [18:13] <rickspencer3> bryce: Yingying_Zhao will be hosting weekly calls starting next week, so I'll be able to cover your bug list for you there

  • [18:13] <bryce> great

  • [18:14] <rickspencer3> any other business?

  • [18:14] <kenvandine_wk> one thing

  • [18:14] <bryce> calc, how's your son doing?

  • [18:14] <kenvandine_wk> i will be emailing everyone soon to test an update to u1 Smile :)

  • [18:15] <rickspencer3> meeting adjourned?

  • [18:15] <bryce> thanks!

  • [18:15] <pitti> thanks everyone

  • [18:15] <rickspencer3> kenvandine_wk: right. What was the uptake on U1?

  • [18:15] <rickspencer3> did everyone on the desktop team install it?

  • [18:15] <rickspencer3> (hint hint)

  • [18:15] <awe> +1

  • [18:15] <kenvandine_wk> rickspencer3: i don't have reports from everyone

  • [18:16] <kenvandine_wk> you, pitti and Riddell for sure

  • [18:16] <rickspencer3> okay, we'll look for your email, and set something up so we can get everyone on it

  • [18:16] <awe> kenvandine_wk: what kind of report do you need?

  • [18:16] <kenvandine_wk> well, bug reports

  • [18:16] <calc> bryce: doing ok now

  • [18:16] <kenvandine_wk> does it work for you

  • [18:16] <kenvandine_wk> etc

  • [18:16] <calc> bryce: he was sick about a week

  • [18:16] <kenvandine_wk> awe: basically we want as many people to really use it as possible

  • [18:17] <kenvandine_wk> there are lots of bugs fixed since last week, so there should be a new package soon

  • [18:17] <awe> kenvandine_wk: cool. i had problems with it a few weeks back, but it's been solid ever since. nice work

  • [18:17] <kenvandine_wk> i will mail the group when it is ready

  • [18:17] <bryce> calc: good to hear

  • [18:18] <kenvandine_wk> it won't sync my data yet :/

  • [18:18] <rickspencer3> thanks kenvandine_wk

  • [18:18] <rickspencer3> calc: glad your son is on the mend!

  • [18:18] * rickspencer3 wishes he had a gavel
  • [18:18] <rickspencer3> thanks all!

  • [18:18] <asac> thanks
