## This section is for Ubuntu News from "The Planet" at http://planet.ubuntu.com/ === Serge Hallyn: Cgroups are now handled a bit differently in Xenial ===

=== Martin Pitt: Results from proposed-migration virtual sprint ===

Martin Pitt reports from a recent Canonical Foundations team sprint, sharing slides from a presentation he gave to open the gathering. He went on to report results from the sprint, including the framework which will allow Ubuntu developers to be able to retry autopkgtest regressions by themselves. He concludes: “We are going to have similar sprints for Brian’s error tracker, Robert’s CI train, and Barry’s system-image builder in the next weeks. Let’s increase all those bus factors from the current “1” to at least “4” ``:-) . Looking forward to these!”

LoCo News

Tour of our Wiki Page

Simon Quigley walks us through the Ubuntu Wisconsin’s wiki page explaining what each section is used for or will be used for. He notes that the lack of members attending IRC meetings means that the TeamReports page is out of date, and asks that he be contacted if anyone has any questions, comments or concerns.

Serge Hallyn: Cgroups are now handled a bit differently in Xenial

Serge Hallyn walks us through some of the trouble that the existing cgroup implementation has caused. He shares how it’s being reworked in Xenial with the new libpam-cgm package and which ultimately reduces the set of user-owned cgroups.

Martin Pitt: Results from proposed-migration virtual sprint

Martin Pitt reports from a recent Canonical Foundations team sprint, sharing slides from a presentation he gave to open the gathering. He went on to report results from the sprint, including the framework which will allow Ubuntu developers to be able to retry autopkgtest regressions by themselves. He concludes: “We are going to have similar sprints for Brian’s error tracker, Robert’s CI train, and Barry’s system-image builder in the next weeks. Let’s increase all those bus factors from the current “1” to at least “4” :-) . Looking forward to these!”

Find-a-task 2.0

Nicholas Skaggs kicks off a discussion about the future (2.0) of Ubuntu Find-a-task, a tool which helps new contributors find ways to contribute to Ubuntu. He lists a series of issues and considerations as the team moves forward, including the fact that tasks never expire, a lack of information (including point of contact) in some tasks, and the success rate of using the tool. After outlining a plan, he concludes: “Keep the idea of tasks, but add sponsors to the tasks, and help facilitate communication between the interested contributor and sponsor.”
