I'm sure you are all aware that Canonical has released a beta version of its launchpad service. Launchpad was founded to run the Ubuntu project, but it's now open to other projects. Three--Zope, Jokosher and SilvaCMS--are hosted there now.
http://news.com.com/Canonical+wants+open-source+cooperation/2100-7344_3-6174662.html?tag=html.alert An interesting note in the announcement caught my eye. Mark made the following statement... "The company's goal isn't to gobble up the activity of other hosting sites, Shuttleworth said. "We're not trying to convince people to switch off their own infrastructure and adopt Launchpad wholesale," he said. For example, one feature of Launchpad is the ability to link bugs tracked on Launchpad with related bugs at other sites." One of our breakout sessions at DAM-3 was "defect tracking across projects". The summary of this session was: - did not have the right people to make progress - explored a few use cases - The GNOME project uses a point system on defects. Points are given for comments, resolved bugs, etc. Developers with more points can do more with the system. Since this group of architects spans orgs, projects, and distos, I have to at least raise the question with this group regarding our defect tracking issues. - Is the work on defect tracking across projects that is being done with the Launchpad site something that can be leveraged by the community? - Does anyone on this list have some experience with the bug linking that is being done on Launchpad?
