Target of next Wed to start feature triage. - Agree on Trac conventions for 9.1. General agreement that Milestone = 9.1.0 will list all bugs which are targeted for the release.

More trac usage to be defined in follow up meeting which Ed will convene with Michael and others. Will also cover synching with upstream bug systems. Discussion of Trac - Bugzilla, Trac to Trac, and OLPC - Fedora tools. After the meeting, Ed and team will update this page: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Trac_conventions for 9.1.0.

Time to ratchet up the productivity! See the updated 9.1.0 page, especially the schedule section: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/9.1.0 Edits and additions welcome. - Action items * Everyone to update roadmap page. I especially need help finding a home for everything in the engineering section: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_roadmap#Priorities_from_Engineering Please move your comments from there in to the main section. * Greg to get semantic format in place and start flagging features for 9.1.0. * Ed to convene meeting on trac conventions for 9.1.0 * Greg to update XOcamp page with an attendee section * Greg to schedule two grueling bug backlog triage meetings for 12/15 and 1/16.

Re: XO Feature Roadmap meeting on today at 2PM US ET IRC freenode.net #olpc-meeting To: OLPC Development
Hi Bert, We are closer to an 8.2.1. The main motivator is likely to be a few bug fixes for Uruguay. It will be a very focused release, just resolving a few specific items over 8.2.0. Not taking the Joyride branch. That's the latest thinking but its not final yet. I'll keep the list up to date on plans as they develop and I'll update the 8.2.1 section of this page: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Releases.

XO Feature Roadmap Meeting Minutes from November 26
Ed, Gary, Deepak, Ben, Caryl and possibly other met on IRC on Wed. November 25. Minutes: - XO Camp miniconference dates are set for January 12 - 16 in Cambridge! * Greg, Ed and others to update XO camp agenda to refine it and follow up with presenters to get more detailed agendas and presentations. - Feature Roadmap page and 9.1 planning (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_roadmap) : * Greg to send e-mail to Mel asking for help recruiting people to work on the Feature roadmap page. The roadmap gang will work on updating the feature roadmap page to ensure every important feature request has a place and adding tags and reformatting as needed. * Greg to send cjb and ed and invite for a power meeting (other key stakeholders welcome so may do it on IRC if there is demand). Current documentation on requirements is at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_roadmap#Power_management * Greg to add detail to meaning of Deployability as the goal for 9.1. So far, the top 5 items for 9.1 are: - Rebasing on F10 - power management - localization/translation - activation/lease/signing/management - run linux and any linux app easily Other things can be worked on as bug fixes. Lots of debate about feature vs. bug. Agreement that major areas of work should have an item on the feature roadmap page but Trac will also be tagged to allow easy querying of must fix bugs. Discussion of touchpad as something we will work on and how to document it. Main idea is that all items have one or more tickets in Trac. Main topics and features should also have a location in the Wiki which can also list Trac bugs. Mention that we need to keep 9.1 plan up to date with sugar plans (http://sugarlabs.org/go/DevelopmentTeam/0.84/Ideas). I believe that is all accounted for but should check for synch again soon. Next steps on Roadmap page are to get the feature roadmap in to shape by Wed. December 3. Then documentation can focus more on Trac after that. Next meeting: Wed. December 3, 2PM US ET IRC Freenode.net #olpc-meeting channel. Agenda for next week: 10 minutes - XO camp update 10 minutes - Status and action items for Feature roadmap page updates. 30 minutes - Agree on Trac conventions for 9.1. 10 minutes - Set agenda for next week and write down action items.

Re: XO Feature Roadmap Meeting Minutes from November 26
Hi Marco, NP on the meeting, thanks for reading the minutes! Comments inline. * What's the time target of these features? I assume 9.1 *and* beyhond? GS - This page is the heap of all items we have thought of building on the XO: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_roadmap I have a few days left to make sure everything under consideration is on there. Then I plan to start tagging items for 9.1 and adding other tags. For 9.1, a quick filter will show what is top priority for that release. In the end I want it to look like this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+specs Then I will have a separate 9.1 page with the 9.1 filter and additional project management details (schedule etc. like we did in 8.2) and a statement of goals. * Is it work OLPC stuff is going to do or something we encourage the community to take over? GS - Its going to cover both. I need to get the top priority OLPC stuff nailed down ASAP. Then I want to list the things which are important to XO users and make it easy for anyone to work on those. * Do we need some sort of consensus about features before adding them to the roadmap? For example it's the first time I hear Joe remove the frame idea and I don't think it has been discussed at all with the design team. GS - No consensus needed to put it on this page. Just follow the guidelines (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_roadmap#Suggestions_for_providing_input) and make sure its well motivated. Getting something built is another story. * Any reason to *not* use trac directly for it instead of the wiki? It mostly seems like a list of items. GS - I want requirements, specifications, lists of customers and more detail then we have in trac. I also use the wiki to show the feature design to customers and get their ack on the requirements. Lastly, I want an easy place to track topics and main ideas. Items on the wiki can have one or more Trac items as well. Its extra work to use wiki and Trac but those are my reasons. Again, I want to follow the Ubuntu example and I think Semantic wiki will get me real close... * How do I propose a feature to be added to the list? GS - Just out it on there. Follow the guidelines and make sure you are as clear as possible about who benefits from the feature and how. I get an e-mail whenever the page is updated but you can also e-mail me directly. Also, if you have an idea and want to know if any customers have asked for it or if they would benefit from it, feel free to ask and I'll hunt down an answer for you. Thanks, Greg S PS Thursday and Friday are holidays in the US. Back online Monday.

Future Feature Roadmap Meeting Minutes from 11/19
Ed, CJL, Mel, Greg, and CJB (and maybe others) met on IRC On Wed. 11/19 Minutes: - Update on January camp and reminder to fill in details on proposals. GS - January camp proposals update Exact meeting dates to be set ASAP, target Monday. The conference will be held either week before or after January 9 - 11. - Start work on reviewing and prioritizing the Feature Roadmap http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_roadmap. GS - We will add two fields to each feature on the roadmap page. * Helps deployability * Target for OLPC resources That flagging is my interpretation of the discussion. Any comments welcome. Deployability was chosen because its currently the main goal for 9.1. More definition of goals for 9.1 will be forthcoming with Ed leading. Target for OLPC resources defines which will get an OLPC engineer assigned. Many other features are important and we want to highlight those to encourage other open source developers focus their time on useful items. This is discussion is preparation for a quick triage of the Feature Roadmap page. Before we start that, we need another pass to ensure all well defined features are included. Target is to complete the first triage by the end of the first week of December. Next meeting Wed. November 26, 2PM US ET IRC Freednode.net #olpc-meeting Agenda for next week: 10 minutes - XO Camp status and updates. 15 minutes - Status and action items for getting all feature requests on the feature roadmap page and for tagging per minutes above. Any other tags needed to focus engineering on the right priorities for 9.1? 15 minutes - Trac usage conventions for 9.1. Choosing and defining which fields we will use for tracking target bugs and features. 15 minutes - Status of 9.1 goals definition and plans for creation of a 9.1 page. 5 minutes - Set agenda for next week and review action items Thanks, Greg S ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
