Olav, Fred and I spend an hour at FOSDEM talking about $stuff. As we were only three I would not yet call this an "informal r-t meeting".
Random topics/comments made by individuals (correct me/add stuff!): * Security mailing list; getting more distro folks in ** ask Debian/Fedora/Suse etc to subscribe? ** related: set up security group in Bugzilla for access? * Fundraiser: worked for Builder, for PiTiVi not that well? ** Privacy/security fundraiser: have not found someone yet to use that money? ** Tor integration? If we asked in public, would we find someone? ** Should we go for / experiment more with fundraiser stuff? Promotion on G+ etc. * Technical steering group vs release team? * Should there be a rule (limitation of terms, like Debian) to leave after X years to force community members to step up? * r-t has a good group diversity, distributions, BUT we don't do much apart from releases (which is boring work) * expand scope of r-t? I don't do too much because there is not much to do" * how to make it easier to find tasks r-t is interested in, also for outsiders / contributors? ** Bugzilla for r-t's task mgmt? can set assignee, priority, can ping assignee after a month of no progress, other people can see what r-t thinks they should work on, or even take tasks. Currently email as action / task lists of r-t meetings not very discoverable for outsiders plus easier to ignore for assignees? ** related: better dev workflows focused on/around bugzilla (describeuser.cgi, browse.cgi for products, might break stuff like product names for better integration etc)? ** widely related buzzwords: metrics, people, projects, retention, visibility, workflows, getting a view on modules and people activity * should have a consolidated procedure for the schedule on the wiki (we might have two pages there already) * idea to use git tags instead of tarballs has been around but nobody driving that discussion -- Andre Klapper | [email protected] http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?
