Brainstorming and discussion

Development

• Increase the amount of developers/uploaders
  • [skellat] Pursue full packageset permissions or only package-specific permissions
• GTK3 indicator support
  • Patch indicators to support Xfce components as indicator-sound does (e.g. indicator-power, indicator-datetime, session-menu etc.)

• New applications in the repositories/seed: MenuLibre, Mugshot

  • [skellat] Anything else that can be cherry-picked from Debian?
  • (noskcaj) Certain 4.11 components are going to land in Experimental instead of Unstable which will block them making it into Testing for autosync
  • Status/Health Check with Xfce as to 4.12. Landing for LTS or not?
• Working locking with light-locker (get rid of xscreensaver for good)

• [unit193] Create a new installable "xubuntu-core" metapackage via adding to the seed configuration file found under https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-seeds once the T seeds are created by Colin Watson

  • [skellat] Do we want this solely as a metapackage or do we want to generate a downloadable image with product manifest too?
• Investigate xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin
• See/ask if we can apply GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Xubuntu

Artwork, community, marketing, website...

• Community wallpapers package
• Finalize and publish the website theme refresh
• Update Wikipedia and other major sites with relevant/up-to-date information
• Communicate more towards users; more blog articles by the team members and guest writers
• Better social media presence (more administrators per outlet?)
  • Contact the reddit.com/r/xubuntu admins
• Separate process-related stuff from Strategy Document
• Do we want to promote 64-bit images by default?

  • https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2013-September/002539.html

• Improve reporting
  • Weekly reports for the release team and monthly team reports
  • Ways to make reporting and gathering reports easier? (lderan: meetingology fixes)

  • https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2012-December/002115.html

Documentation

• Keep documentation up-to-date with new applications
• Expand documentation?
  • [skellat] Include section on signing Ubuntu Code of Conduct
  • [skellat] Look at what can be adapted from Ubuntu Manual for re-use
• Cooperate further with Ubuntu Documentation Project umbrella organization

QA

• Increase testing numbers, use social media, front page of xubuntu.org
• Revamp the post install tests
• Use cadence testing
• Work towards using automated testing
