Next Meeting

Agenda

• Adopt activities.sugarlabs.org
  • Ask permission of activity authors to allow AT members to make releases.
    • the major concern is: w/o that we have less accessible/uptodate activities on aslo in comparing with soas, since packaging "trunk" activities for distros is a common practice, and in common, GNU/Linux distribution is separated from upstream in comparing with addons.mozilla.org (IMHO) which is more like an exhibition of authors' activities
    • Renovate idea of ActivityTeam Stamp of Approval and take care of these activities
    • "Activity Team" user on aslo
    • Create a special activityteam user on Gitorious?
      • maybe RO(anonymous) access is sufficient; in that case TA should test trunk code and release it
  • Sugar Platform
    • Use SoaS as a test platform for aslo activities(treat soas like a model of "Standard Sugar Platform")
    • Blobs in activities on aslo
      • some blobs could be included to Sugar Platform
      • what to do with the others
  • aslo internals
    • Form editors/admins groups to support aslo's activities
    • Discuss aslo activity categories.

Friday Feburary 27 2009 - 12pm EST

Agenda

• Catch up on the past month's progress
• activities.sugarlabs.org discussion
  • Identify major issues that block usage by all activity maintainers and/or consumers.
  • Make a clear HOWTO about uploading a bundle, nominating it, etc. Could be a guide with screenshots or a screencast, etc (I think that David Farning is looking at this)
  • Set up a team of administrators and a team of editors. I guess a couple of people in each could be a good start.
• Status of activity migration + author outreach
• Review of the TODO list
• Distribution discussion
  • Minimum resolution supported by Sugar
  • Help system
• News from Tuesday's OLPC Deployment meeting.

I forgot to use #endmeeting, so this log contains quite a bit of additional unrelated discussion.
