Yes, but even if you were doing it every six months -- and
*especially* if you were doing it every week -- there would be no
point in having a Hangout for even half the blueprints. For most of
them, the only thing to say would be "welp, there's still no-one
working on this". (There are often sessions like this at UDS, for
example on the Common Printing Dialog, or two-factor authentication.)
Instead, have a Hangout only for those features that anyone is
actively working on that week.

No, don't do that. UDS is not a good example of how to get work done.

So, here's what I suggest:
1. Choose one of the features you're working on right now.
2. Mail this list to say "I'm going to start a weekly Hangout about
{feature} next week. If you're interested, reply privately to tell
me how you're involved and which UTC hours you'll be available."
3. After a few days, choose a time that most suits the people who are
most involved, and follow up to announce it.
Then if it turns out to be a good idea, people working on other
features will start doing the same thing.

Imagine it like being at UDS: we usually have many parallel tracks, we start at 9:00 in the morning and we usually finish at 17 or 18. You would be able to spend all this time every week? Maybe smaller sprints once a month would be doable, but every week I'm not convinced :) Anyway, it would be a good start to organize at least one, let's see how it goes, get feedback from developers and community contributor about how to improve it and then use this feedback to organize a new one. >> Maybe we should schedule a session at next UDS to talk about this? >> > Why wait until then? Why not start now? you are right! I was just thinking that maybe organizing this face-to-face would be easier, but why don't we simply schedule an Hangout session soon and discuss about it? It would be the best way to test if it works :) Best regards, p.s: I'm available almost any day for the Hangout, starting from 18:00, Helsinki time. -- Andrea Grandi - Nokia-DX/Tampere / Qt Ambassador Ubuntu Member: https://launchpad.net/~andreagrandi website: http://www.andreagrandi.it -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel

Ubuntu Release Sprint
I think this is a great idea... I am not very active in the group but this gives me an opportunity to be part of the project and start contributing in any fashion I can.. I think the community IRC support is great but probably we can use the google+ hangouts for that too as we can also share our desktops or documents.. it makes support more social and personal, and also I think we can engage new users much better. Using social networks will help market the great world of open source and linux to a larger audience. Just my 2 cents on the subject.

Ubuntu Release Sprint
Hi, during the last UDS party, I had an idea to improve Ubuntu development, but I didn't know if it could be a good idea or a stupid one, so I talked to Daniel Holbach and David Planella about it and they were happy to hear about it and Daniel told me to talk about this directly to Mark (and I did it). Let's explain the basic idea. >From an UDS and the next one, it would be useful to have a development sprint where people can talk about assigned UDS blueprints, at which point they are on their tasks, if they have any problems and if they will finish them within the next UDS. Of course Canonical cannot organize another meeting, it would be very expensive, so the idea is: why don't we use Google Hangout to organize the sprint? I has a limit of 10 people, I know, but we could select (for example) 5 from the community and 5 from Canonical. There would be parallel meeting and tracks, we would use the same blueprints used during the last UDS and we would add further notes. The attendees would be able to listen and watch the stream and make questions through the available chat. I've also created a wiki page with more informations and you can find it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuReleaseSprint What do you think about? I know that Canonical is already organizing sprints and this could be a way to involve more the Ubuntu Community. Maybe we should schedule a session at next UDS to talk about this? I hope to get some feedback from you.
