Website
- moving the website to wordpress is not going to happen unless someone wants to pick it up.
Documentation
- Try to update the documentation to Natty. We are behind a couple of releases already.
Bugs and Testing
- Bugs and Testing: We are working to triage bugs as they come in. We are getting hit pretty hard on abiword right now
- Need to send the Abiword bugs upstream
- Testing will be ongoing, with the changes in Natty for Ubuntu, we need to try and test every day or two.
- Charlie is running Natty, upgraded from Maverick
Artwork
- we are looking at replacing the elementary icon theme with faenza
- Thorsten Wilms from the Community Artwork Team attended.
- Thorsten will work with us and Saleel to develop a good set of specifications for Xubuntu Artwork.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/Request-7 is not a valid spec at this time.
New Business
Charlie would like a new display manager for Xubuntu. LightDM was discussed and will need to be investigated.
Meeting Schedule
A vote was taken on when to hold meetings; the Xubuntu Community Meetings will be held weekly on Thursday at 19:00 UTC.
Xubuntu Governance
- We need to decide on a permanent Project Lead. Charlie is an interim Xubuntu Project Lead.
- charlie-tca will send an email to the mailing lists for submissions for Project Lead. We need to work this so we can then work towards a council-based approach.
Old Business
Xubuntu Governance
The governancy part of the current Strategy Document can be found at Xubuntu/StrategyDocument#Xubuntu Governance & Team Structure
- The Xubuntu project will advance towards a Council-based governance approach.
The Xubuntu Council
- The Council size should be 5 members, with one of them being the PL.
- PL will have a vote in every voting in the Council, not just as a tie-breaker.
- The 4 members in the Council in addition to the PL should be selected by the existing Xubuntu Contributors.
- The appropriate Team Lead can be the tiebreaker in a vote, but only if PL is absent.
- The council should *aim* to have balanced membership across the different aspects/teams of Xubuntu.
- The council should be named/selected after every LTS release. Thus, every season lasts for 2 years.
Action items for the next meeting
- charlie-tca to get with thorwil and Saleel about artwork specs by email
- Find out more information about LightDM
- follow up with xfce devs on display managers
