I don't really want to get involved in this bikesheding, but if there

 I don't really want to get involved in this bikesheding, but if there
 was a vote at a QA meeting, it sounds unfair to me take the result of
 that into this list and start arguing against its result.

Given that the top two choices (lo and lobz) were separated by only 1
vote and were both far ahead of the other options, suggesting a
compromise seems like a reasonable action.

 Why would
 anyone cast his/her vote seriously next time, if the result of the vote
 is not respected?

I believe the vote is being respected, but I don't want to get into
that here. As many have said, we're just bikeshedding here. I
apologize for drawing out this discussion on the dev list for so long
-- I'll take this discussion back to the QA list.

Hi all,

In the voting rules I said If there's no clear winner, we can have a
run-off. A number of people have decried the process as bikeshedding,
so I'll leave this in your hands: Does anyone want a run-off? If you
do, please ping me by Sunday and we will have one.

Notes:
* Feel free to ping me on- or off-list
* To clarify: We'll have the run-off if 1+ persons request it

Thanks,

P.S. As a side note, the UNCONFIRMED bug count was up by just _2_ at the last QA
Meeting. Everyone in QA been doing amazing work -- let's keep up the
push through the holiday season!

Well, I second on Norbert thoughts, and I was just saying, that, if you go  
for a vote, an announcement to the whole bunch of lists might have brought  
people in, like enlightning Norbert's views.



For me, the abbreviation is just one small part of the bigger Bugzilla
migration plan:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/LibreOffice_Bugzilla_Proposal

The reason we're having a vote now is because
Nov 8 - I mentioned abbreviation in the proposal
Nov 10/11 - Discussed abbrevs on the QA list
Nov 18 - QA Meeting decided to ask ESC for input
Nov 21 - ESC offered suggestions; said the guys doing the work should  
choose.

Nov 21 - Looked for consensus on QA list
Dec 1 - Saw no consensus; Moving to vote on the QA list

I felt like I was working hard to go through appropriate channels.
Perhaps if I'd spent more time I could've gotten more input from other
groups, but at this point I feel like I've already spent a ton of time
on just this one little piece.


You worked hard, and that was appreciated, don't misunderstand me. But if  
you don't find a consensus on the QA list, you might ask for wider  
audience, so my remark. Not a critic in any way.

You did your best and we ackowledge that.
FWIW, I also appreciate all the bug metrics and follow-up QA provides, it  
is very nice and useful.



Well, if you want to mimic fdo, abbrev should be loo (libreoffice.org
instead of freedesktop.org)
loo is a good trade-off : more than 2, but less than 4; different of the
standard lo we use to shortcut LibreOffice


IIRC, in en-GB 'loo' == toilet
Well, I didn't check and that was more of a friday's troll than a real  
proposal.



(not that there aren't any piss-poor bug reports in FDO right now...)

;-)



BTW, I vote also for lo#


ok -- vote recorded.


If the devs really want lo#, just send in enough people to vote and
the outcome will be certain.

--R

brace yourselves, lo# is coming

 is not 'the guys doing the work should organize a beauty pageant election'

IMHO 'the guys doing the work should choose' means 'we're going to
leave it up to the best judgment of those people to decide'.

I thought that we had a bunch of okay abbreviations, and aside from
tdf# (which I wanted to reserve for future use), all of the other
names seemed good enough to me, and didn't raise any red flags when I
checked-in with the ESC.

So, with that information in hand, I figured that I would ask for
input from QA, first in the form of searching for consensus, and
second (if need be) as a voting process. QA doesn't get to make
decisions like this very often, so I thought it would be something fun
for us to decide as a team.

Alternatively, if we want to interpret this message as ' *only* the
guys doing the work should choose', then that's fine with me, too. By
my reckoning, that list includes

- Cloph (for fixing bots and websites, creating DNS redirects, and
generally putting up with all of my requests)
- Dennis Roczek (for a bunch of detailed bot work translating urls on the wiki)
- Andras Timar (for updating urls in the translations and core git repos)
- Tollef (Doing all of the work on the FDO end)
- Me (for doing a lot of legwork on the migration)
- Some others I've undoubtedly forgotten

 taken. When there is some controversy, the interested parties expose

Up at the top of your email you said:

...but the length and breadth of your email belies that
characterization of this particular decision about abbreviations. This
is clearly not a bikeshed decision, or you and Mat would (hopefully)
not be so invested in what abbreviation is chosen.

If it's a big deal, then yes, I agree we should pay more attention to
it. If it's not a big deal, then we go ahead and pick from the list. I
just need to get a clear message, one way or the other.

I'm sympathetic to input from the developers, even at a late stage in
this process, which is precisely why I listened to Eike's comments and
wrote The devs really like lo# (as it gives them more room in commit
messages).

Hi Rob and All,

it is not easy understand what is happening.

We are voting after a right process to do it.

I think everyone in the project can vote here if they want.

IMHO, we need to finish the voting process, and communicate the results.

If some in the project are not agree, it's fine, they can report to the ESC
their reflections and inform their proposal.

In last term The Board can take a decision about what better fits for all in
the project.

tdf# (which I wanted to reserve for future use), all of the other
names seemed good enough to me, and didn't raise any red flags when I
checked-in with the ESC.

So, with that information in hand, I figured that I would ask for
input from QA, first in the form of searching for consensus, and
second (if need be) as a voting process. QA doesn't get to make
decisions like this very often, so I thought it would be something fun
for us to decide as a team.

Alternatively, if we want to interpret this message as ' *only* the
guys doing the work should choose', then that's fine with me, too. By
my reckoning, that list includes

- Cloph (for fixing bots and websites, creating DNS redirects, and
generally putting up with all of my requests)
- Dennis Roczek (for a bunch of detailed bot work translating urls on the wiki)
- Andras Timar (for updating urls in the translations and core git repos)
- Tollef (Doing all of the work on the FDO end)
- Me (for doing a lot of legwork on the migration)
- Some others I've undoubtedly forgotten

 On the dev side we are not used to 'vote'. decisions are usually just
 taken. When there is some controversy, the interested parties expose
 the merit of their respective positions, explaining the rational for
 their choice (and I mean _rational_ not _feelings_).

ok

 That usually lead to either a compromise to address each other points,
 or the parties rallying around the rational of one side (we all have
 'opinions' on anything when asked... but more often than not we do not
 _care_ that much about a given topic, so unless we have a strong
 argument to offer we usually do not demand that our opinions be
 counted as strongly as the one of the people intimately involved with
 the work and problems associated with it.. iow 'pick your battle
 wisely'  :-) )), or more often a combination of both.
 in 3 years we where driven to a vote only once.. and even then that
 was more to have each position 'on the record'.

ok

 So in that light I would point out again the criteria _I_ think are
 relevant for the name here:

 1/ short. the summary commit message is the 1st line of a commit
 message, and is limited to 80 chars (72 preferred), and when a commit
 refer to a bug we want the bug reference in that message.
 2/ obvious meaning and easy to remember and type, as much as possible.

 The opposition I've seen so far to lo# are centered around 'it can be
 confused with the abbreviation of the product'. I think that is a
 feature not a bug.
 in the context of bugzilla the use will always be lo#number the #
 make it clear that it is a bug number and remove any ambiguity...
 furtheremore these _are_ libreoffice bugs.. lo = libreoffice, # = bug
 here.  So, other abbreviation may have merit, and may prevails, but
 discarding lo# for that reason seems a red herring to me.

 for reference a quick grep of the log message give use the following uses:

 fdo#
 deb#
 n#n
 #inn#
 rhbz#nn
 CID#n
 cp#
 bnc#
 abi#
 i#
 #n#
 lp#n

 and a mix bag of some mistyped variations thereof (like #fdo)

Up at the top of your email you said:
I'm sorry I apparently started a bikeshed on this...

...but the length and breadth of your email belies that
characterization of this particular decision about abbreviations. This
is clearly not a bikeshed decision, or you and Mat would (hopefully)
not be so invested in what abbreviation is chosen.

If it's a big deal, then yes, I agree we should pay more attention to
it. If it's not a big deal, then we go ahead and pick from the list. I
just need to get a clear message, one way or the other.

I'm sympathetic to input from the developers, even at a late stage in
this process, which is precisely why I listened to Eike's comments and
wrote The devs really like lo# (as it gives them more room in commit
messages).

Cheers,

A bikeshed is when we have very long discusion about something due to
the fact that it is a 'simple' problem, hence everyone feel is his

You should have cross-posted the vote announcement on all concerned lists,  
then you'd been more votes.

Fair, fair. One other thing:
The abbreviation has a secondary purpose: to be used as shorthand for
the bugtracker. Using our two highest-profile options:
Joel, go take a look at regressions on FDO = Joel, go take a look
at regressions on LO
Joel, go take a look at regressions on FDO = Joel, go take a look
at regressions on LOBZ



Well, if you want to mimic fdo, abbrev should be loo (libreoffice.org  
instead of freedesktop.org)
loo is a good trade-off : more than 2, but less than 4; different of the  
standard lo we use to shortcut LibreOffice


BTW, I vote also for lo# if loo# has no access to the vote list ;)

What are the 'concerned lists'? i10n? projects? website?  Lots of
people interact with the bugtracker, chief among them, the QA team.

For me, the abbreviation is just one small part of the bigger Bugzilla
migration plan:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/LibreOffice_Bugzilla_Proposal

The reason we're having a vote now is because
Nov 8 - I mentioned abbreviation in the proposal
Nov 10/11 - Discussed abbrevs on the QA list
Nov 18 - QA Meeting decided to ask ESC for input
Nov 21 - ESC offered suggestions; said the guys doing the work should choose.
Nov 21 - Looked for consensus on QA list
Dec 1 - Saw no consensus; Moving to vote on the QA list

I felt like I was working hard to go through appropriate channels.
Perhaps if I'd spent more time I could've gotten more input from other
groups, but at this point I feel like I've already spent a ton of time
on just this one little piece.

 Well, if you want to mimic fdo, abbrev should be loo (libreoffice.org
 instead of freedesktop.org)
 loo is a good trade-off : more than 2, but less than 4; different of the
 standard lo we use to shortcut LibreOffice

IIRC, in en-GB 'loo' == toilet

(not that there aren't any piss-poor bug reports in FDO right now...)

 if loo# has no access to the vote list ;)

Given that I already outlined the parameters for voting, I'm not sure
it'd be appropriate for me to change them now.


 BTW, I vote also for lo#

ok -- vote recorded.


If the devs really want lo#, just send in enough people to vote and
the outcome will be certain.

 This was what I was thinking of, yep.

I think that should not be 'in the future'. from the start the
libreoffice bugzilla should be libreoffice centric.
tdf-infra has it's own ways and likely will have way different
workflow than lo wrt the handling of these..
and yes, tdf is likely to one day have other product under its
umbrella, so not repeating the fdo situation, just somewhere else...
would be wise.

With the expeirence of setting a large bugzilla up likewe need... it
should not be that hard to creat a separate instance for infra...and
in the future a separate instance for other project that may come
along


Norbert

Note: that is why using lo/libo prefix is not only not an issue but in
fact desirable to associate strongly the bugzilla instance with the
product it tracks...
and as bjoern said.. the prefix is really lo#  and every instance
would be lo# that cannot be confuse with the porduct itself
anymore that fdo#nnn can be confused with fdo the org.

Im pretty certain infra wont go with bugzilla though -- currently their
favourite is RedMine. But yeah, the original point made still stands mixing
LibreOffice the product with other issue tracking in the project is likely
unhelpful.

Until someone in infra tells me otherwise, I'm going to assume that
all of the bugs and bugtracking categories covered under the
'LibreOffice' product on FDO will migrate to the new Bugzilla instance
being set up by Tollef. I'm quite supportive of carving-off all of our
non-LibreOffice-specific bugs and shoving them into a separate
bugtracker, but my thinking here is to focus on one step at a time.

2013-11-22 Thread Rob Snelders

Hi,

My opinion:


Here's the list (in alphabetical order):
* blo

no. The relation with the english word 'blow' is to big.


* lbz

Fine by me


* libo
* lo

no. I don't think that a abbrivation of the product is going to work


* lob
* lobz

Fine by me


* tdf
Here is the discussion about if we need to have 
bugs.documentfoundation.org. I don't think you want that because tdf can 
have other products. Only if you want this bugzilla only for libo then 
where will the bugs for the websites of tdf go? Will they stay at 
freedesktop or go to the libo-bugzilla? As you follow this rule they 
should go to somewhere else as the libo-bugzilla.


Greetings,
Rob Snelders

A big part of this exercise is to not have LibreOffice bug mixed with others
anymore. As such documentfoundation just seems wrong to me as tdf might have
other projects and if those use our bugzilla they will be guests on the
LibreOffice bugzilla because of the volume. We already essentially took over
fdo by volume, so lets keep this one dedicated to LO and LO only.

It will never be used standalone and lo#12345 isnt going to be confused.

  * lob
 Not sure if having a o in the abbreviation is a good idea, risk of error

see above, no such issue as there is lo# as with all bug refs.

Best,

Post-migration, candidates to be 'products' in the bugtracker include:
- LibreOffice application
- Android/iOS remote
- BSA
- Anything web-related for libreoffice
- Anything web-related for TDF

On the one hand, that list includes things that aren't strictly the
LibreOffice application. On the other hand, pretty much everything
else on that list
1) exists to support the LibreOffice application
2) is dwarfed by the bugtracking needs of the LibreOffice application

I see arguments from both sides, but I feel like the 800-lb
application on the list wins out.

The nice thing with putting everything under a LibreOffice
bugtracker for now is that if in the future we do decide to migrate
bugtracking for TDF-specific web infra to a separate instance, that's
going to be a much smaller and simpler piece.

Cheers,

 Thoughts??

Well it would have the advantage of neutral Bugzilla support for any other TDF 
projects and infrastructure resources--e.g.  Tinderbox, Mail lists, Ask, WWW, 
wiki, Twitter, etc.

[Libreoffice-qa] Bugzilla Migration: Abbreviation to replace fdo#12345

2013-11-21 Thread Robinson Tryon
Hi all,

Let's pick a new abbreviation to use for our bugtracker :-)

Per our last meeting, I talked with the ESC about abbreviations:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Meetings/2013/December_02#PENDING_ITEM:_Bugzilla_Migration_etc.

The ESC gave a few more suggestions, and said that the people doing
the work should choose -- so I figured I would email out to all of our
marvelous QA contributors and ask them to weigh-in!

For the next couple of days, please provide comments on the proposed
names. I suggest that you provide simple, direct reasons in favor of
(or against) particular names.

If there's no obvious winner after a few days, we can take a vote.

Here's the list (in alphabetical order):
* blo
* lbz
* libo
* lo
* lob
* lobz
* tdf

Cheers,
--R

My fear was, if we use lo#12345 or libo#12345, that when somebody tell
lo or libo we don't know if he speaks about the software or its
bugtracker. If we use the abbreviation lbz#12345 there is no ambiguity.
