Hi, With the release of the beta 1, and with the update made by PCMan for LXDE development, time to do the same for Lubuntu :
== Lubuntu not officialy a flavor of Ubuntu == I have been quiet about the status of Lubuntu inside Ubuntu family, it's just because I have no news myself. With the beta release of Ubuntu, there are now few chances to have Lubuntu in the Ubuntu family for this cycle. This is not blocking the development, we will continue to improve Lubuntu as usual. And for the reasons, there is still a ressource problem on Canonical / Ubuntu infrastructure, which was not resolved during this cycle. Also, they are writing a real process to integrate new member in the Ubuntu family, but it's still not finished. == Development health == Like LXDE, we're lacking people to code, make patches etc ... Otherwise, we have now a good documentation team and Rafael which do a great job with the artwork. The packaging is quite up-to-date, but we still need to improve the triage of bug reports. And, we always need more testers/bug reporters :) If you want to begin with Ubuntu/Lubuntu development, it's a good starting point. I also can make a meeting/classroom about this if several people are interesting. == Bug reports == I'm slowly begin to deal with bug reports correctly, adding scripts (apport hooks) in all LXDE packages to be able to gathered more information from bug reporter. If you want to report bugs, please be sure to use ubuntu-bug to do this. Also, I spend some time to work on 2 annoying bugs : - Menu not correctly translated (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/menu-cache/+bug/551281) You should have notice that some items from the menu is not correctly translated. It's because menu-cache doesn't read correctly the translation of the desktop files of Ubuntu which are store in /usr/share/locale-langpack. - Right click bug for pcmanfm Unfortunately, this bug is still here, so if you have this problem, please downgrade libfm0 and libfm-gtk0 to 0.1.12 version. There si still a strange and random behavior that I can't identify. See the detail on http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=801864&aid=3050478&group_id=156956 Any help on them will be appreciated :) I'm still not sure if it's a LXDE problem on a Ubuntu + LXDE problem. == Regular Meeting == I think it could be nice to have regular IRC meetings to discuss various topics about Lubuntu and its development. I would like to plan them, and I think 1 meeting every 2 weeks will be good, but we need to find the "when". For people which would be interesting, what do you think about this ? Which day/hour (UTC) will be good for you ? That's all for me, if you want discuss another topic, feel free to answer this mail :) Regards, Julien Lavergne _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
