 +
;progress of GCI 2017:Almost 400 students, how to make a pull request, some solid contributions, some new activities.
 +
;cross-platform development:There are broken JavaScript activities that don't run on Sugar desktop.  Contributions are being wasted, and opportunity lost.  We had a Cross-Platform environment.  We have attracted JavaScript Web developers instead of JavaScript Cross-Platform developers.  We need Cross-Platform developers to merge the diverged libraries, and apply Cross-Platform practices to both libraries and activities.

==Who==
+
Topics:
 +
;progress of testing 0.111:going well, and a bootable build is available.
 +
;merging any translations:no new translations, so no need for merge.
 +
;readiness for 0.112:release notes are complete, nothing is blocking release on 9th October.
 +
;what we have been working on:Memorize and Speak activities do fail to start on Ubuntu 17.04 Artful due to default voice missing from espeak, since fixed in gst-plugins-espeak.  sugar-docs has been updated for using sugar-live-build as a development environment, and remove sugar-build.  The AbiWord fix for #4915 Write activity flicker has been accepted by Ubuntu and Debian, and has tested fine in those distributions.  Also on GitHub have been commits in embedded Music Blocks, embedded Turtle Blocks, Help, and ImageViewer.

Topics:
 +
;progress of testing 0.111:some testing is being done, but more testing would be helpful, see [[0.112#Testing|testing 0.111]],
 +
;merging latest translations:asked translators mailing list, no new translations made, strings for save-as feature are new, some Music Blocks strings changed too,
 +
;readiness for 0.112:some time before translations must be in per [[0.112/Roadmap|schedule]], release process well understood and should not take long, possibility of a test image,
 +
;what we have been working on: bug [https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4915 #4915 ("Write redraws excessively - heats my lap")] the AbiWord flicker, a fix is available, but upstream wants it also fixed on Wayland, though Ubuntu [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/1574278 has taken it], applying the fix is straightfoward; release notes are to include Turtle Blocks porting, and therefore other activities (done, see [[0.112#Notes]]), Turtle Blocks 216 for upload (done), and a test image is nearly complete, which can be a replacement for sugar-build, see [[0.112#Testing|Sugar Live Build]].

 +
;0.112 release testing: We discussed [[0.112/Testing]]
 +
;Version numbering: We agreed to investigate the possibility of switching to 113 for the next release (a monotonic numbering system).

 +
Not discussed:
 +
 
 +
* Settle down patch submitting workflow:
 +
** email based workflow as a primarily model (check other FOSS projects to gather all existed experience) [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 07:35, 27 October 2010 (EDT)
 +
** write an email-bot/trac-plugin to make an email<->trac sync. Will be useful, e.g., for non-developers who track bugs status and to let people know the current status in most convenient way. All emails, w/ ticket set, will be posted to bugs.sl.o and any comments(and patches) to bugs.sl.o, to tickets w/ previously sent patches, will be emailed. [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 07:35, 27 October 2010 (EDT)
 +
 
 +
* Requirement to use pylint/pep8 in git pre-commit:
 +
** [[Platform_Team/Sugar_Lint|sugar-lint]], because it is a standalone project and can be used as-is also, e.g., for activities (i.e., as unified lint tool within sugar doers) [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 07:39, 27 October 2010 (EDT)
 +
 
 +
* Increase a level of trust within core team, make patch reviewing workflow more clear:
 +
** Any committer, to a particular core project, might be a reviewer (we either should trust all these people or drop them from committer list) [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 07:59, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
 +
** To accept ''regular'' (reviewer decides whether patches are regular or not, of course, better to discuss it with other committers if there are doubts) patches, only one reviewer is needed [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 07:59, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
 +
** Non-regular patches should be formed in [[Features]]. These patches might take several tens of K. This is by design; that it is hard not only to develop, but also to review and it should involve several committers for a reasonable amount of time. [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 09:28, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
 +
** Review process should not include debates about coding style, if coding style conforms to lint checks and Hacking Policy (if it has unequivocal statements, needs to be rechecked), it should be applied [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 09:33, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
 +
** Purism is good but there is no need to achieve it by single patch, it might be changed in post-commit patches if second reviewer (e.g., looking to the patch thread on mailing list) found an issue in already commited code. [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 13:39, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
 +
 
 +
* officially dropping support for 0.86? (e.g. {{bug|1838}})
 +
** do we need to discuss thing like that on Development Team meeting, is it a more appropriate task for Deployment and Platform teams? [[User:Alsroot|alsroot]] 07:59, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
 +
 
 +
* big (and small) ideas for 0.92  --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 13:17, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
 +
 
 +
* Support [[Platform_Team/Guide/Core_development|isolated]] start of glucose components. In that case, merge sugar-base to sugar-toolkit ([http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-October/028196.html patches] [yet] don't implement it but import sugar-base from sugar-toolkit) to have API that will be used as a single access point to sugar core functionality for activities.

==== Topics ====
 +
 
 +
===== Release process =====
 +
 
 +
* Sascha: Schedule too tight for GSoC projects, no time for the review process.
 +
* Sascha: i think the release process is fine so far. code review could be improved, but we're already on it.
 +
* Tomeu: we have one pending feature freeze exceptions: Hamilton Chua has proposed that we merge his code for registering with a school server. It has already one +1, it needs one more.
 +
* Gary: feature freeze seemed a little 'slushy' this time, we still need to merge the new toolbars for some activities in Sucrose.
 +
* Aleksey: we missed the chance of having library.sl.o (or so) in 0.86 to share .xol/jobjects -- I think the problem is that we don't have an engineering committee. Aleksey will restart discussion on this in the mailing list.
 +
* Ben: the development mailing list is the engineering committee. I'm just trying to avoid the creation of more unnecessary committees, meeting, and IRC traffic.
 +
 
 +
===== Stabilization =====
 +
 
 +
* Gary: window layering bugs in our metacity usage block testing to some point
 +
* Tomeu: we'll have to go back to matchbox if we cannot fix that
 +
* Sascha: Issues with the Alt key
 +
* Ben: I think the most helpful thing would be to release up-to-date emulation images.
 +
* Simon: we need to organize the bug work: hold triaging sessions, fix bugs and produce images that people can test.
 +
* Ben: I think it should be a high priority for all bugs in trac to be correctly prioritized and targeted.
 +
* Ben: IMHO, our target should be "ready for deployment by OLPC to hundreds of thousands of children on the XO-1.5".
 +
* Simon: I would say - we need to propose a build on the ml and ask for testing
 +
* Tomeu: so we should update the rpms, several fixes landed since the last ones. I will do it tomorrow.
 +
* Thomas: I can help here via vmware and usb/sd testing have f12 edu spin on sd now
 +
* Simon: I will work with Gary on toolbars
 +
* Rafael: I'll help with testing, having the emulation images...
 +
* Ben: I think an official proclamation of a "Bug Hunt" on the mailing list would help, once we are ready.  Maybe with periodic updates as to who has discovered the most bugs, and who has killed the most? Almost like a competition.
 +
* Sascha: how about the doing a bug hunt contest and the winner gets their favourite feature in? ;)
 +
* Sebastian: one thing I'd like to raise is that we might need immediate packaging after 0.86 is out (since we might otherwise conflict with F12's feature freeze)
 +
 
 +
===== Journal view extensions =====
 +
 
 +
* Aleksey: would be extensions like the cp sections are and bundled like activities
 +
* Aleksey: deploy extensions like from ASLO, at the end
 +
* Benjamin: insecure, frame devices and control panel plugins are not designed to be easily modified, because they have tremendous system access.
 +
* Sascha: so what's the advantage of Journal plugins/extensions of activities interfacing directly with the data store?
 +
* Tomeu: time ran out, let's discuss code review and journal view extensions to the next week meeting

At this meeting we want to form the Sugarlabs Bugsquad, the Quality Assurance (QA) team for Sugar. The squad keeps track of current bugs in the sugar software and try to make sure that major bugs do not go unnoticed by developers. You do not need any programming knowledge to be in the Bugsquad; in fact it is a great way to return something to the Sugar community if you cannot program.

Development Team Meetings

Who

The meeting is targeted to Sugar core and activity developers, but everyone interested is welcome to join. We try to open the development up a bit, make it more transparent and allow the community to participate easily.

Default Agenda

  • Quick update about what we have been working on and eventually the problems we have run into.
  • Discussion about the implementation details of tickets we are planning to work on. Figure out how to split up the work and who should be owning the various parts.
  • Questions from activity authors about specific aspects of the platform and more in general on how to better integrate their activity in Sugar. Report about problems they run into.
  • Help out new contributors to figure out where to start. Point out the tickets we need help with, discuss with them the implementation.

How to add to the agenda

Add the topics that you want to discuss during the week to the upcoming meeting. They will be collected during the week and seny out in the meeting announcement on Tuesday morning.

minutes log

Topics:

what we have been working on
Walter has been administering GCI 2017, and working on Music Blocks and Turtle Blocks. James has been reviewing pull requests, checking licensing, testing Sugar on Ubuntu 18.04 beta, releasing Speak-55 and Read-118.1, and fixed a Paint activity empty canvas.
progress of GCI 2017
Almost 400 students, how to make a pull request, some solid contributions, some new activities.
cross-platform development
There are broken JavaScript activities that don't run on Sugar desktop. Contributions are being wasted, and opportunity lost. We had a Cross-Platform environment. We have attracted JavaScript Web developers instead of JavaScript Cross-Platform developers. We need Cross-Platform developers to merge the diverged libraries, and apply Cross-Platform practices to both libraries and activities.

what we have been working on
nothing in particular.
how to encourage testing of Fedora packagers' work
Thomas and Frederick found fail-to-start problems in Fedora 27, as the Sugar and Browse packages had not been tested at all, so we all need to test the work of our downstream packagers, and help them where possible.

what we have been working on
features in Music Blocks, assessing GTK+ 3 porting, preparing for and merging translations,
impact of GTK+ 2 removal in Fedora and Debian
GTK+ is a library, see GTK+ and GTK+, GTK+ 3 is incompatible with GTK+ 2, many activities for Sugar depend on GTK+ 2, GTK+ 2 is scheduled for removal in Fedora 28 and in Debian Buster, removal already starting in Debian, bad user experience with Browse and activities.sugarlabs.org is non-starting activities, all Fructose activities are converted, Labyrinth is of interest to OLPC and has an upstream port, Record is of interest to OLPC and has an in-progress port at https://github.com/quozl/record-activity/tree/gtk3, Moon is of interest to OLPC and has a JavaScript port, GCI will have porting tasks.

Only one developer was available, so the meeting did not happen.

Topics:

progress of testing 0.111
going well, and a bootable build is available.
merging any translations
no new translations, so no need for merge.
readiness for 0.112
release notes are complete, nothing is blocking release on 9th October.
what we have been working on
Memorize and Speak activities do fail to start on Ubuntu 17.04 Artful due to default voice missing from espeak, since fixed in gst-plugins-espeak. sugar-docs has been updated for using sugar-live-build as a development environment, and remove sugar-build. The AbiWord fix for #4915 Write activity flicker has been accepted by Ubuntu and Debian, and has tested fine in those distributions. Also on GitHub have been commits in embedded Music Blocks, embedded Turtle Blocks, Help, and ImageViewer.

Report was made by mail.

Topics:

progress of testing 0.111
some testing is being done, but more testing would be helpful, see testing 0.111,
merging latest translations
asked translators mailing list, no new translations made, strings for save-as feature are new, some Music Blocks strings changed too,
readiness for 0.112
some time before translations must be in per schedule, release process well understood and should not take long, possibility of a test image,
what we have been working on
bug #4915 ("Write redraws excessively - heats my lap") the AbiWord flicker, a fix is available, but upstream wants it also fixed on Wayland, though Ubuntu has taken it, applying the fix is straightfoward; release notes are to include Turtle Blocks porting, and therefore other activities (done, see 0.112#Notes), Turtle Blocks 216 for upload (done), and a test image is nearly complete, which can be a replacement for sugar-build, see Sugar Live Build.

Release Manager
We ack'd James Cameron in his role as release manager for 0.112.
Community Standards
We reiterated the importance of civil behavior and the necessity to work with the community, not unilaterally. We also reviewed the mechanisms we use for pull requests, reviews, and merging.
0.112 release testing
We discussed 0.112/Testing
Version numbering
We agreed to investigate the possibility of switching to 113 for the next release (a monotonic numbering system).
ALSOv3
We agreed to work with SCG to do the ground work necessary to get ALSOv3 launched.

Not discussed:

  • Settle down patch submitting workflow:
    • email based workflow as a primarily model (check other FOSS projects to gather all existed experience) alsroot 07:35, 27 October 2010 (EDT)
    • write an email-bot/trac-plugin to make an email<->trac sync. Will be useful, e.g., for non-developers who track bugs status and to let people know the current status in most convenient way. All emails, w/ ticket set, will be posted to bugs.sl.o and any comments(and patches) to bugs.sl.o, to tickets w/ previously sent patches, will be emailed. alsroot 07:35, 27 October 2010 (EDT)
  • Requirement to use pylint/pep8 in git pre-commit:
    • sugar-lint, because it is a standalone project and can be used as-is also, e.g., for activities (i.e., as unified lint tool within sugar doers) alsroot 07:39, 27 October 2010 (EDT)
  • Increase a level of trust within core team, make patch reviewing workflow more clear:
    • Any committer, to a particular core project, might be a reviewer (we either should trust all these people or drop them from committer list) alsroot 07:59, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
    • To accept regular (reviewer decides whether patches are regular or not, of course, better to discuss it with other committers if there are doubts) patches, only one reviewer is needed alsroot 07:59, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
    • Non-regular patches should be formed in Features. These patches might take several tens of K. This is by design; that it is hard not only to develop, but also to review and it should involve several committers for a reasonable amount of time. alsroot 09:28, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
    • Review process should not include debates about coding style, if coding style conforms to lint checks and Hacking Policy (if it has unequivocal statements, needs to be rechecked), it should be applied alsroot 09:33, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
    • Purism is good but there is no need to achieve it by single patch, it might be changed in post-commit patches if second reviewer (e.g., looking to the patch thread on mailing list) found an issue in already commited code. alsroot 13:39, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
  • officially dropping support for 0.86? (e.g. #1838)
    • do we need to discuss thing like that on Development Team meeting, is it a more appropriate task for Deployment and Platform teams? alsroot 07:59, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
  • big (and small) ideas for 0.92 --Walter 13:17, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
  • Support isolated start of glucose components. In that case, merge sugar-base to sugar-toolkit (patches [yet] don't implement it but import sugar-base from sugar-toolkit) to have API that will be used as a single access point to sugar core functionality for activities. alsroot 08:12, 30 October 2010 (EDT)
