Right now, the Launchpad team that has commit access to it is ~bzr-builddeb-hackers, which is mostly made up of people who have moved on to other things. If ~ubuntu-dev had commit rights, like for ubuntu-dev-tools, there is potential to empower people who use it day to day to fix the nagging little issues they hit and expand the universe of people able to do code reviews. I did originally have a second bullet point under that topic about the general state of UDD, but I deleted it before sending. I didn't want to open that can of worms myself as I don't have any real solutions. It's unlikely that the well-known problems are going to be fixed unless Canonical decides to reinvest resources into UDD. It seems pretty obvious the community can't/won't take over driving it forward (though I'd be happy to be proven wrong). Though since we're talking about it, the one stop gap fix that would make me happy would be if all Ubuntu Developers could trigger the equivalent of the local 'requeue_package.py --full' command that UDD admins can run.

Ubuntu Platform developers BOF session?
Hi all, With the next vUDS approaching quickly, I wanted to check in and gauge interest in an Ubuntu Platform developers BOF session. I envision a general health check sort of session, but of course if there is sufficient interest in any particular topic we could have specific sessions. There are a few topics that I personally would bring up in such a session: * Sponsoring - We generally keep the queue below 100 items, but it is rare that it drops below 25. Are we satisfied with this performance? Are there process or tooling improvements that we can make? Feedback from sponsorees? * Packaging Guide - Since the last time there was an UDS session on the Packaging Guide, we completed the transition to the sphinx-based guide from the wiki-based guide. It would be good to get feedback now that this has been in place for a few cycles. * Developer recruitment, training, etc... - We saw a decrease in both total contributors and new contributors in the saucy cycle. Should we be concerned? What can we do to improve? * UDD - bzr-builddeb hasn't seen any real development in some time. I've become the Debian maintainer recently, but I've only done some spring cleaning of the packaging, added autopkgtests, and fixed some test failures. I wonder if would make sense for ~ubuntu-dev should become the project owner? I'm sure there are many other possible topics. Feel free to collect them in this thread. So what do you say, would this sort of session be worthwhile?

Re: What do you want MOTU to be in Q, R and S?
On Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 10:44 AM, Daniel Holbach daniel.holb...@ubuntu.com wrote: Hello everybody, with only a week to go until 12.04 is released, it might be a good time to think about what MOTU is to you and what you feel it should be in the next few releases. This team has been existing for as long as Ubuntu has been around and one thing we've been doing since the early days is: being there for new contributors and bringing them into the fold. In my mind this is (among many others of course) the most important thing MOTU has contributed to Ubuntu. Not limited to my personal assessment above, I'd still like to hear from you (no matter if you're a MOTU old-timer or a new contributor) is what do you feel we do well and what do you feel we should change? A lot of time has gone by with no response to this thread. The silence in both this thread and this list in general saddens me a bit. For myself, and I imagine for at least some others, the lack of response hasn't been because I don't care about the future of the MOTU. It's that over the past few cycles the team has dwindled to the point where it is hard to see what it even does. Much of this is of course due to many of MOTU's traditional responsibilities having been superseeded by newer institutions and norms: archive-reorg/package-sets, the Developer Membership Board, a stronger emphasis new packages going through Debian. A lot of this is a good thing, but I feel that we've lost some of the social cohesion that the team used to bring to Ubuntu development. More developers are now scattered about their smaller teams focused on their particular package-sets or pluging away alone on the few packages they care about. As Daniel mentioned, one of the most important contributions of this team has been bringing new contributors into the fold. While things like per-package upload rights are great for getting contributors with a very narrow interest to help directly in Ubuntu, in the past I think there was some value to the social pressure to help with package outside your specific interest in order to get upload rights. Lowering barriers to entry is extremely important and I wouldn't want us to move backwards on this, but I wonder if maybe we could come up with ideas to assert some sort of positive social pressure (in contrast to the negative/restrictive pressure of saying you can't work on what you want until you help with other things) for contributors to participate in the maintenance of unseeded packages? Another place where MOTU was valuable in the past that we seem to be missing a bit now was as a kind of catch all team for pursuing random bits like the Packaging Guide, training sessions, etc... Maybe these things need to be pushed to ~ubuntu-dev? It just seems to me that these kinds of things are less and less taking place/being planned in public and more so by smaller groups of people. One of the last discussions on the future of the MOTU defined the team's mission as: * Maintaining packages that do not belong in any package-sets. * Providing guidance and training for new generalist developers. * Extended Quality Assurance functions. Are we living up to this mission? Does this still make sense for us? Has the MOTU simply out lived its usefulness? The feedback should be a good preparation for a MOTU session at UDS.
