  <ameetp> [TOPIC] Action items

Action items

• <ameetp> I don't believe there were any left action items from the last meeting

  <ameetp> so if there are no objections I will move to the next topic

• ameetp waits

  <charlie-tca> none I remember

  <marjo> ameetp: none

  <ameetp> excellent [TOPIC] Maverick RC ISO testing status -- ara

  <ara> excellent topic, I agree

  <ara> :P

  <ara> hello all!

• charlie-tca nods

  <skaet> o/

  <ara> hey skaet

  <JFo> I thought it was Topic: ara?

  <ara>

  <JFo> :-D

  <ara> So RC testing is going very very well, much better than other cycles

  <ara> most of the testcases are already covered

  <ara> \o/

  <marjo> ara: excellent!

  <ara> and no respining in the horizon

  <ara> fingers crossed

• skaet fingers crossed as well...

  <ara> there are some stuff that need some love

  <ara> 1. Xubuntu wubis

  <marjo> bladernr: wubi?

  <charlie-tca> gonna need help with that

  <bladernr> marjo: just getting ready to hit those

  <ara> 2. LTSP server configuration in the alternates

  <bladernr> the xubuntu ones

  <fader_> bladernr: masochist

  <marjo> bladernr: thx

  <davmor2> ara: just finished the m-a's

  <ara> davmor2, cool

  <bladernr> fader_: you have no idea dude...

  <ara> 3. live session in netbooks for kubuntu desktop

  <ara> (anyone with a netbook and working usb keys?)

  <fader_> ara: I can hit that on my netbook but it'll likely be a few hours before I have time

  <fader_> So if nobody gets them before I do, sign me up

  <ara> fader_, great, thanks

  <ara> and

  <bladernr> are there any 64bit netbooks out there?

  <ara> bladernr, good point

  <ara> bladernr, maybe we should just drop that testcae

  <ara> se

  <bladernr> if I can find my other USB stick, I'll hit the 32bit one in a moment...

  <ara> bladernr, great

  <bladernr> after I start the wubi xubuntu stuff

  <ara> for the "run at least once" testcases, there are some still uncovered

  <ara> Rescue i386 0 tests done

  <ara> iSCSI Unauthenticated Root Installation 0 tests done

  <ara> UEC install (separate networks topology) 0 tests done

  <ara> Installation Broken Internet 0 tests done

  <fader_> Yeah, good point -- my netbook is 32 bit

  <marjo> ara: just drop 64bit netbook test case

  <ara> marjo, OK, will do

  <ara> ameetp, VMWare easy install? 0:-)

  <ameetp> ara: yes, already started

  <ara> ameetp, awesome!

  <marjo> cyphermox: did you say you can help with server UEC?

  <persia> There are 64-bit netbooks.

  <ara> persia, outside japan?

  <cyphermox> marjo, not uec. ec2

  <ameetp> ara: Thanks for the update!! Anything else for your topic?

  <marjo> cyphermox: ack

  <ara> one more thing!

  <cyphermox> server jeos as well , but I'd need to reinstall a windows VM

  <ameetp> sure

  <persia> ara, Yes. Anyway, easy way to fake it is to attach an old or small screen that can only do 800x600 to hit the autodetection routines.

  <ara> I am going to propose at UDS another change on the "mandatory" "optional" testcases

  <ara> many people actually need "optional" (really optional) testcases

  <ara> so the "run once" does not work for them

  <ara> so my suggestion is going to be to have yet another kind

  <ara> so it would be

  <ara> mandatory / run once / optional

  <ara> I will work on a proposal and I will send it to ubuntu-devel and ubuntu-qa to see what people think

  <marjo> ara: sounds reasonable

  <bladernr> persia: I thought the routine required both small screen and no optical drive

  <ameetp> ara: sounds good

  <persia> bladernr, Perhaps. remove the optical drive (or use a machine without one anyway)?

  <ara> marjo, skaet: but, if you agree, you have to promise that the optional are really going to be optional

  <ara> marjo, skaet: not optional but, "hey, it would be great to cover them all"

  <marjo> ara: yes, that's the definition of "optional"

  <ameetp> [ACTION] propose mandatory / run once / optional tests and send to qa team- ara

• <bladernr> persia: probably, just curious... I remember discussing the autodetect stuff around alpha time.

  <ara> ameetp, and that's all from me

  <ameetp> ara: thanks!

  <ara> ameetp, my pleasure

  <ameetp> any questions for ara?

  <skaet> ara, thanks.

  <ameetp> going once...

  <ameetp> twice
