Well my POV on this is that you may have missed a valid use case: Discussion of problems on a development branch. From my experience, ubuntu-users@ is mainly toward to stable releases, and usually an user like my self (alpha/beta tester) gets really poor support there. At least on this list I expect to get some extra help to either fix my/our problem, or be pointed in the right direction, even if that is simply the case to go to LP and report it. Basicly I expect the same treatment as I get on IRC support channels (ubuntu+1 and ubuntu-bugs).

[RFC] Improve communication with testing users about master key changes in development branches
Hi. Ever since 6.10 Beta 1, I've been a alpha/beta tester of all Ubuntu releases. Like me, there are several other users that at same point start testing the development branches. But the main difficulty I have in keeping track during the development are the changes that occur. I usually track the ReleaseNotes and TechnicalOverview, and now we have _public_ meetings reports (which helps a tad more). Still, and understand I dont want to impose any more work to the already busy scribblers, but it would be nice to have either an email announcement, or a wiki page with ALL changes of policy, UI, package adding/removal. Stuff like the changes PulseAudio in jaunty is an example of what would fit into this. This would increase the notice of testers to changes, that easily slip into the cracks, and also help tracking regressions when filling bugs. Waiting for your comments and suggestions. -- Hi, I'm BUGabundo, and I am Ubuntu (whyubuntu.com) (``-_-´´) http://LinuxNoDEI.BUGabundo.net Linux user #443786GPG key 1024D/A1784EBB My new micro-blog @ http://BUGabundo.net ps.

I spend huge amounts of time, testing new versions, helping new users, filling bugs, triaging existing reports... But on this subject I'm at a mist...

Improving resume speed
Jaunty had/has the objective to have a fast startup (<25 secs), But the current technique to resume hibernated machines (using the kernel mode) is too slow, and doesnt use compression. pm-utils (pm-hibernate via s2disk) currently does this, and have a much nicer UI (it shows progress), but unfortunately it got broken last weekend on jaunty [1]. Since we are past FF, is there any interest in fixing this for koala? Either by improving the kernel mode, or using s2disk. Some devs keep mentioning that this approach brakes many setups, but it I have never had probs it with on all my machines, and it even works when the kernel mode doesnt. Maybe we can set an easier option for an user to change this (other then to alter /etc/pm/config.d/00sleep_module), or use one, and then fallback to the other if this fails. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331101 -- Hi, I'm BUGabundo, and I am Ubuntu (whyubuntu.com) (``-_-´´) http://LinuxNoDEI.BUGabundo.net Linux user #443786GPG key 1024D/A1784EBB My new micro-blog @ http://BUGabundo.net ps.

I've started a thread a few weeks back, on both -devel and -devel-discuss, called: [RFC] Improve communication with testing users about master key changes in development branches that didnt get much traction, and in the light of your words I would like to resurrect. The "beta / development release users" need a clear source of information of thing that are going to change, what changed, how it changed, and is this upstream or (x/k)ubuntu only. There was the discussion that some devs are leaving the devel-discuss list, but I see many users on #ubuntu+1 that arent on -devel ml, and it seems that most of the "hot topics" are announced/flamed here (and I guess the rest on IRC weekly meeting). James has been doing a great job with his technical news bulletins, and the meetings resume are also great. But the problem remains: the information there is scarce and most of the times post-applied. Again, I would like to state that I dont want to impose even more workload with providing updates (I know most of you hate _paperwork_ as much as I do), but we need to have a better way to communicate this changes, in a away that doesnt create noise for TeamDevs, but actually makes the broad testing community to get it. _Now the hard part_, I have no idea what that way is. A new [announce]ML? a wiki? a feed on fridge? I'm open to suggestions, but one thing is clear: it needs to be short, concise, multi formated (feed,email,etc), *pre*-changes (so that healthy discussion can come from it, even if it means that some users/devs will flag it until eventually they learn the extra value of future changes), and finally appealing to the testers so that they actually want to have it. > So, thanks to Bruce Cowan for raising the thread. bruce89 wink ;) -- Hi, I'm BUGabundo, and I am Ubuntu (whyubuntu.com) (``-_-´´) http://LinuxNoDEI.BUGabundo.net Linux user #443786GPG key 1024D/A1784EBB ps.

Please to my original email, where I mention that. Currently, during development there isnt a Release Note, but only Milestone and Technical Overview. As I said before, this information is dispersed (ok in this case it even makes sense since they are targeted to different users), but I (and many more testers) feel that it still lacks some of the reasoning. Besides it also lacks the changes done upstream and ported to ubuntu land. I already discuss this with Dan on the List, and with Alexander on IRC. I got the feeling that Canonical devs feel that upstream changes should be ported and let the community find by them selves what and how it changed.

Never used a mac so i cant say, but i like the old icon, thats why i emailed the list in the 1st place! took me a few ours and reading the change log to understand why the heck my wifi was at zero, even though I hadnt connected it yet.. even restarted NM daemon and nm-applet to be sure. > There was a significant problem with the old icon (2 monitors), it was > *totally* mysterious (what 2 monitors have to do with network > connection?) and we had many complaints. mysterious?? it works *very* well to me. are we starting another UM word war? why do u guys feel the need to change what is *already* great?

On tonight's Linux Class, I went and asked my students (most of them are using GNU/Linux for the 1st time, and systems have Ubuntu 8.10) what they thought about the update-notifier (and it was showing Critical updates) and the NM icon. Sure UM was confusing at 1st, but after explaining some used it latter to get a PPA update. The NM icon didnt made any of them (at least the ones who replied) confused, and only a girl had trouble finding the VPN setting. One user had trouble understanding why the icon changed from wired to areal icon once he connected to wifi, but 3 secs later just forgot about it, cause it worked. When I mentioned that the new icon would just be the areal one, most asked "why?". Talking to Linux long(er) time users and mentioning the UM change (no easy icon, popunder window) they all get scared.

The current icon is way better then the one that lead me to email the list so thanks for listening to us, showing that asking us for feedback can and will make Ubuntu better, without the need for us to brining fire and rocks to the table. Now we only have to expect that the Design Team (and other not so Community driven Canonical Task forces) talk to us, let us know their ideas, put them on a PPA and let us try them to get feedback. We have seen the Artwork Team do this in the past and AFAIR it worked out pretty well, dont you? As promised, I again asked today, the new batch of students of my FOSS class, while showing off Ubuntu (GNOME) 8.10, what they though about the update-notifier icon, and the NM icon. As expected (by me and many others here) pretty much all of them stated that to see an *red* icon popup on the tray would lead them to either hover the mouse over to see a balloon or click on it. A popunder was heavily discourage by the more advanced users too. Since all of them came from Windows, the NM icon was a well known icon, but gave them extra options. The only thing they always request me to show them is to explain how to get VPN working (mandatory on our University). It has a been a *long* standing bug to include NM-PPTP on the default Desktop install (but size restrains, not many users using it, etc) as kept it back, but needing net to install a package to have network seems a bit ironic to me! Also the new NM interface to set a VPN requires a few extra mouse clicks (after NM-pptp is installed), making it an even more hard to get concept. Going OT, would any one go For or Against having NM vpn option auto launching some kind of VPN friendly UI to get the NM-pptp/openvpn/cvpn like we do for codecs? -- Hi, I'm BUGabundo, and I am Ubuntu (whyubuntu.com) (``-_-´´) http://LinuxNoDEI.BUGabundo.net Linux user #443786GPG key 1024D/A1784EBB http://BUGabundo.net ps.

[Strawman] GPM should have user profiles
With all the talk about mobility one thing as been forgotten: Power Manager Profiles. An user can have the same PC/laptop/netbook at Home, Office, On The Road, etc All of those require different sets of power management.

That remind me of another thing: Should package that are in Universe and unmaintained[1] show that in Launchpad and _suggest_ the user to upstream them? I understand that _not_ all user will know/want to do that, but at least it would allow more experienced bug filling users to be more alerted to this problems.
