Re: What if users warned about critical bugs?

2014-11-10 Thread cprofitt
It is an interesting idea if I am interpreting things correctly.

What I think is being said is:

  * If someone writing documentation finds a bug they report it to
bug control

The idea sounds like it could be a positive one, but I too question how
they would know a bug is critical. Certainly, having bug-control alerted
could be helpful.

It does raise another question though.

What would make this any different than a normal bug report?

 When I read your statement I have a thousand questions show up in my
 head:  How would a user know what a critical bug is?  Better question,
 why would they need to email bug control?  And where in the
 documentation would you put this?
 
 Further, while bugs may be 'critical' and need attention, does everyone
 on bug control really need to be notified of every critical bug?
 
 
 I'm curious what your reasoning for asking this question is.  Mind
 explaining how you came up with this suggestion/idea?

A couple of bugs I wanted to point the list to as well:

Minor, but somewhat visible:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1286837

Status is Fix Released, but my testing system is still not working... I
think it is good, but if not it would be a very visible issue for
people.

Good to have you on board.

Here are some easy items:

  * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/Tester

I started by doing ISO testing myself.

 Hey there!
 
 My name is Hendrik, I'm a student in computer sciences from Germany.
 I've been using Ubuntu for a few years now and would like to make it
 even better. Before I already helped the Ubuntu German Translators Team
 in providing a good experience of Ubuntu to German users.
 
 I would like to help by testing new releases and finding/fixing bugs
 now to get more into the actual developement of Ubuntu. I already read
 some of the wiki pages. What would be a good way to start?
 
 Thanks for your help Hendrik

Re: Changes to wiki page Bugs/Importance

 Okay, all your points make a lot of sense to me. You have to excuse me
 but, since my main intention when editing this page so suddenly has
 been figuring out in deep how to organize interaction with other
 members, this edition has rather been a simulation.
 
 I've already reverted the changes made to bugs importance, but the
 wiki doesn't allow me to directly change the page's name back to
 Importance. It says there's already a page with this name, but when
 you enter the page it says it doesn't exist. Is this a flaw?

I took a look at things now and it appears that the old version has been
restored.

I always found that when I was making any change other than a trivial
change that I made a 'test' page under my personal wiki. This allowed me
to show people what I was intending to do and get feedback on it.

 I just want to make sure that I understand the summary of what is being

 The Unity8 team currently is not getting notification on bugs, nor do
 they have the rights to triage, etc. bug related to Unity.
 
 Is that accurate?
 
 If that is accurate then I would think we need to do as Steve suggested
 and get them on-boarded to the bug squad team. Do we have some people
 that can work with them to get them trained up?
 
 Nicholas:
 
 Can you facilitate that?
 
 Charles

I forgot to add that we may also need to get members of the Unity8 team
on Ubuntu Bug Control as well if they want to have full control of being
able to set bugs to triage, etc.

I often link the two teams, but they are to distinct teams.

Ubuntu Friendly - 13.04

2013-02-09 Thread cprofitt
JediMike:

At our meeting it was asked if it was possible to retool checkbox to
submit results directly to Ubuntu Friendly; is that possible? If so
would it be possible in time for 13.04 or should this be a target for
13.10?

What else can we do to improve the processing of results and feedback to
the person who submitted the results?

Ubuntu Friendly - Meeting Report - Next Meeting (Feburary 19th 17:00 UTC)

2013-02-05 Thread cprofitt
Hello all:

The details about the UF meeting are here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFriendly/Meetings/20130206

We have three action items:
  * SergioMeneses will be reviewing the current wiki pages and
making changes were necessary -- if you would like to assist
please contact him.
  * roadmr will produce a flowchart of the current process that
submissions to Ubuntu Friendly undergo
  * We need a chair for the next meeting. It was decided to go with
an earlier meeting for the UTC 0/+1 folks. The next meeting will
be at 17:00 UTC. I am at work at this time so I can not
guarantee that I ca be present and not get pulled away. If you
can chair the meeting please respond on the list. Thanks.

If you are interested in helping please join the launchpad team:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-friendly-squad

The primary focus of the team right now is on improving the feedback to
the people making submissions.

roadmr reminded us that any changes to checkbox in this regard (like
submitting directly to the UF website) would need to be done soon due to
feature freeze.

jedimike - can you comment on what avenues are available for providing
feedback to the submitters?

Thanks everyone for attending.

Ubuntu Friendly - Meeting

2013-01-29 Thread cprofitt
Hello all:

The results of the Doodle poll were that the times I listed were not
good for a majority of the team. Out of 8 people the most that could
meet were three and that was at the latest hour. The only days were
Tuesday and Wednesday.

For this reason I want to open one more poll, but I am going to put one
two options for UTC and two options for UTC -5, and I will only include
Tuesday and Wednesday. I hope this will give us a better picture of a
good meeting time.


The new poll is here: http://doodle.com/nqhhkycwr9aihb69

Also, I added a pad for us to brainstorm at:

My life became a little bit of a mess this past Sunday. My little boy
has an abscessed tooth and I came down with the flu. 

Phil:

I would love to come up with something... let me get through the issue
with my son and then I can refocus on the issues at hand with UF. Thanks
for thinking of UF and myself.

If anyone else wants to take the lead on the classroom session please
feel free to step forward. My apologies for the disturbance in the

 Hi Charles,
 
 
 we are going some way in the up coming sessions for friendly,
 specifically the laptop sessions [1]. If you want to book a session to
 advertise via the classroom people, please do give me a poke in the
 ribs. Our own dates are about set now, but you are more than welcome
 to add a session for friendly. I'm guessing that liasing with the
