Indeed, however the content can be found on the wayback machine.

Fwd: Proposed UOS date

2015-09-14 Thread Alan Pope
Hi all,

I don't believe we had any objections to the dates put forward by
Daniel below, so lets set the following dates for the next Ubuntu
Online Summit (UOS):-

Tuesday November 3rd through Thursday November 5th, 14:00 to 20:00 UTC.

We'll begin setting up summit and launchpad this week.

https://launchpad.net/sprints/uos-1511

I'd recommend everyone starts giving some serious thought as to
sessions they want at UOS. It would be great to settle these nice and
early as our next cycle is an LTS, so I imagine we have a lot to
discuss! :)

Thanks everyone,
Al.

Hello,

the feedback for the last UOS was to bring it back in sync with Ubuntu's
release cycle again.

As Ubuntu 15.10 releases on 2015-10-22 and UOS is usually from Tue to
Thu, I'd like so suggest

2015-11-03 -- 2015-11-05

as the following week USA have Veterans Day (2015-11-11).

This would give everyone enough time to get over release day hangover
and we should also have opened the archive for the X cycle again.

Any objections?

If there are none, I'm going to announce this end of next week.

Thanks in advance.

Have a great day,
 Daniel

+1 for that.

In the local-non-technical-non-power user community, the pre-release 
names generate a lot of confusion. I've seen many new Ubuntu product 
consumers bewildered by development code names.

Ditto.

I filed a bug in software centre which has niggled me for a while based 
on this tidbit from Colin.

We already have an app in the default install which does something
similar. The remote desktop server makes a call out to the
author/maintainers website to discover if the Ubuntu install is
remotely accessible via VNC.

Aside: I believe we shouldn't be leaking info like this.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/608701

Perhaps as Jordon suggests a *.ubuntu.com based service would be
preferable both for IP discovery and VNC connectivity test.

Re: Using something better than Gobby for session notes at UDS

For more than one UDS I've been a remote participant. Using Gobby over
a proxied connection (at work for example) is a painful experience,
especially from a work-supplied Windows computer. Whilst I can listen
in to conversations because icecast streams are delivered over http, I
found it impossible to contribute to documenting sessions.

Using a web based system (such as google docs or etherpad) is clearly
very much easier from many devices/platforms.

Whilst at UDS I too experienced sobby crashes, lost documents,
difficulty choosing colours, difficulty identifying documents, as
outlined by others.
