I remember at the meeting we had discussed this as one of the key parts of this report, but like you point out it appears many of us did not include that information. Perhaps you could elaborate on your vision for how our audience would use this blocker information in the report? I.e., would someone be taking actions to clear people's blockers?

At this point we should solicit feedback from whomever we consider to be the target audience for this report, to see if this is delivering the appropriate amount of detail, or too much / too little.

Yes/no/should we change it? I like the new format from a contribution point of view. The old format felt more like accounting work, which it seemed that no one would read since it got to be so long. The only thing I'd change is that the report still feels a bit like a wall of bullet points. There appear to be sets of bulletpoints that sound related to one another, perhaps those could be combined/summarized in one bullet each? (I know this is really hard - I had to restrain myself to fit all my wayland work to one bullet, you know how verbose I usually am!)

I like the format as it is now, it's a much more interesting read. What we sohld perhaps point out even more is the stuff that we are currently blocked on, perhaps we should put that into a separate category as well?

Re: Ubuntu Desktop weekly meetings
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, So this concludes the trial of the desktop meeting summary... Results are here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2010-11-30 It seemed the consensus was the categories were important, so I reformatted the list to include them. I suggest we have a policy that anything of ongoing importance/churn should have it's own category, and these will change over time (e.g. I suspect the Unity category will be not so important in a few cycles whereas we might be doing a lot of developer experience work that would require one). I also bolded some key words to make it easier to skim-read, these are easy to add in the wiki as you enter items (use three apostrophes '''), and/or they can be quickly updated during the meeting (only takes a minute or so). I propose we keep this format for now on. Yes/no/should we change it? - --Robert On 18/11/10 10:50, Robert Ancell wrote: > > Today in the Eastern Edition of the Desktop meeting we discussed > the structure and purpose of the weekly Desktop meetings.
