| == Mailing list == === Developer list moderation === Since the developer list is meant exclusively for development coordination, people who send inappropriate mails to the list will eventually receive a moderation flag. The process is as following: 1. User sends an inappropriate message to the list 2. Any moderator sends a private mail to them (and CC's -owner) explaining the situation and that they should not send further inappropriate messages to the list 3. User sends another inappropriate message to the list 4. (Ideally the same) moderator follows up with -owner to get a moderation flag added to the user. 5. A list owner adds a moderation flag for the user; after this, all messages from the user need to be manually approved. List owners can drop the moderation flag discretly if it seems the user improves mail quality after getting the moderation flag. == Meetings == === Meeting chairs === The community meetings are held in #xubuntu-devel and chaired by the Xubuntu team leads. The chairing team leader is cycled based on the team name. The actual upcoming chair list can be found in the comments of the [[Xubuntu/Meetings|Meetings]] page. The chair is responsible for scheduling and announcing the meeting on the development mailing list, and for updating the wiki with the meeting time. During any of the sections in the meeting, the chair can assign action items to individuals or teams with their permission. The chair should take care to copy these items to blueprint work items where applicable. === Meeting minutes === The team minutes will need to be added to the wiki after the meeting has ended. To do this, go to [[Xubuntu/Meetings/Archive/Minutes]] and use the input box for creating a minutes page. You will get the content for the page directly from [[meetingology]]s Moin output URL. After you have created a minutes page, don't forget to update the '''Include''' in [[Xubuntu/Meetings]] as well as copy items marked with #done to the monthly team report at [[Xubuntu/TeamReports]]. |

Xubuntu Processes
This page describes processes for Xubuntu development. All the processes and schedules should be used as a guidelines: This page mostly exists for us to document what we do, not to tell us what to do. Minor issues and obvious shortcomings can be fixed without consulting, for larger-scale changes consult the team.
Regular maintenance of assets (wiki, website)
Process descriptions for other, more or less daily processes (meetings, mailing list moderation)
Additional information
In addition to the Xubuntu processes described below, there are several generic Ubuntu processes that are useful for the team and described elsewhere:
Freeze exception process for getting to upload changes after a relevant freeze
Sponsorship process for getting new package uploads in the archive
Packages related to Xubuntu
Xubuntu packageset
The Xubuntu team maintains a certain subset of packages in the Ubuntu archive. The per-release packageset lists are available at http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/packagesets/.
PPA's
The Xubuntu developers use several PPA's (personal package archives) for staging, testing and previewing new packages and package versions. These PPA's can be found under the ~xubuntu-dev page at Launchpad.
Currently, the official PPA's for development use are:
This is a staging PPA for Xubuntu. The packages and package versions in this PPA are being prepared for inclusion in Xubuntu. The packages are uploaded for the convenience of people testing these new package versions and features. Some of them are daily builds used in testing. |
|
This is a preview PPA for Xubuntu. The packages in this PPA are considered for inclusion in the Ubuntu repositories and/or Xubuntu at a later time. The packages are uploaded for the convenience of people willing to preview the new features. |
Package translations
These are the packages that the Xubuntu team considers important and should take a precedence when translating:
The packages only exist in Xubuntu
These packages only exist in Xubuntu, so their translation is up to the Xubuntu translators solely. These are of high importance for the Xubuntu team.
Ubiquity slideshow for Xubuntu (note that the link is release-specific, always check you are translating the current development version)
(Mainly) built for/used by Xubuntu
These packages exist outside Xubuntu, but they are mainly built to fit a need in Xubuntu. Unless/until they are spread much wider than now (and have gathered the interest of other translation groups), the Xubuntu translators should take care of getting their translations.
Used by and essential for Xubuntu
These packages are used by Xubuntu and provide essential features to the Xubuntu experience. when these are translated, the base system is immediately more usable for more people.
