  17:13:13 <hggdh_> OK. I am sorry for the delay, I had the wrong schedule in front of me

  17:13:21 <hggdh_> So.

  17:13:47 <meetingology> TOPIC: Previous Actions

  17:14:05 <hggdh_> I am not aware of any previous pending actions. Please correct me if needed

  17:14:22 <hggdh_> [TOPIC] Community Efforts/Testing

  17:14:22 <meetingology> TOPIC: Community Efforts/Testing

  17:14:49 <hggdh_> The only point I have here is that we are approaching Beta 1 week, and all help will be extremely welcome

  17:15:17 <hggdh_> we will need testers for all official variants of Ubuntu, and some of the not-so-official

  17:15:57 <hggdh_> please do help. Visit http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com for details on the tests we will have to run

  17:16:05 <hggdh_> any comments?

  17:16:25 <zeedune> Georg here, also new to this. So is ISO testing the top prio?

  17:16:40 <charlie-tca> o/

  17:17:12 <hggdh_> zeedune: daily testing on the updated images is always welcome. But milestone testing has a special urgency, given the few days we have to perform all tests

  17:17:23 <charlie-tca> If the images do not get tested, the Beta1 does not get released for that flavor

  17:17:46 <charlie-tca> hggdh_: beta1 testing starts Tuesday?

  17:17:58 <hggdh_> charlie-tca: we hope so, yes

  17:18:29 <hggdh_> from Tuesday to part-Thursday

  17:18:36 <charlie-tca> For those not aware of it, this cycle there is a new policy in place. Any image that is not tested for each milestone does not get released for that milestone

  17:19:02 <zeedune> How do I tell the daily builds apart from the beta1 ones? Or will all daily build after Tuesday be beta1?

  17:19:43 <hggdh_> when we reach the milestone, the image is not changed unless a critical bug is corrected

  17:19:54 <charlie-tca> We do plan on images starting Tuesday being beta1, yes. since it is a milestone, they might be the same images for three days, but they can also change every couple of hours

  17:20:05 <bdmurray> so they are candidates for beta1

  17:20:10 <hggdh_> but, apart from that, there is no difference

  17:20:15 <hggdh_> yes

  17:20:27 <zeedune> ok

  17:20:36 <hggdh_> additionally, we will have the Global Jam following the Beta 1 milestone: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam

  17:20:47 <charlie-tca> zeedune: We keep in contact during the milestone testing in #ubunhtu-testing

  17:21:25 <hggdh_> and on the Global Jam we will also have testing activities (but not milestoned)

  17:21:32 <hggdh_> any other comments/views?

  17:21:49 <hggdh_> 3

  17:21:50 <hggdh_> 2

  17:21:52 <zeedune> Ok, I'll make sure to stay logged in to the #ubuntu-testing channel

  17:21:57 <hggdh_> [TOPIC] Automated/Systems Testing

  17:21:57 <meetingology> TOPIC: Automated/Systems Testing

  17:22:16 <hggdh_> so moving on. Ursinha does not seem to be present.

  17:22:17 <gema> the only thing I have to report is that I have started working on improving the ubiquity testing for better coverage

  17:22:27 <hggdh_> perfect 17:22:45 * hggdh_ has never used ubiquity...

  17:23:01 <gema> I can tell from the bugs

  17:23:04 <gema> nothing else

  17:23:05 <gema> ..

  17:23:10 <hggdh_> pedro_: ?

  17:23:32 <pedro_> yes?

  17:23:37 <hggdh_> heh

  17:23:46 <pedro_> nothing much to share from here, still catching up from last week :-P

  17:23:53 <hggdh_> OK

  17:23:54 <pedro_> so sorry no bug day for this week

  17:24:11 <hggdh_> no problem

  17:24:15 <hggdh_> bdmurray: you, sir

  17:25:01 <bdmurray> So of particular interest is the following - I've setup a cronjob of search-bugs (finding reported bugs matching a bug pattern) that'll consolidate new duplicates

  17:25:15 <bdmurray> This is necessary due to some short comings in apport

  17:25:41 <bdmurray> I also updated firefox-lp-improvements for the new version of firefox

  17:26:02 <hggdh_> this consolidation, is it automagic?

  17:26:12 <bdmurray> and then I created a bug bot function to detect hardware errors for /, /var, or /usr partitions resulting in an apport-package bug report

  17:26:40 <bdmurray> hggdh_: yes, it confirms and adds a comment and marks as a duplicate if the bug matches a bug pattern

  17:26:52 <hggdh_> fantastic...

  17:27:09 <bdmurray> and with that bug bot functions I've invalidated some more bug reports

  17:27:37 <hggdh_> making a sizeable dent on the open bugs, I hope...

  17:28:11 <bdmurray> well 30 is a small percentage but its more than 0

  17:28:22 <hggdh_>

  17:28:25 <bdmurray> 30 bugs that is

  17:28:36 <hggdh_> better than none

  17:28:44 <bdmurray> There might be some more hiding so I'll look harder for that needle

  17:28:51 <bdmurray> that's all

  17:28:57 <hggdh_> thank you

  17:29:02 <hggdh_> Moving on

  17:29:07 <hggdh_> [TOPIC] Odds & Ends
