Upcoming Agenda

About

  • 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.

Who

The meeting is mainly targeted to Sugar core and activity developers, but everyone interested is welcome to join. It's primary purpose is to try to open the development up a bit, make it more transparent and allow the community to participate more easily. For when to join see 'When and Where'.

How to add topics

You can add the topics that you want to discuss during the week to the topics section for the meeting. They will be collected during the week and send out in the meeting announcement on Thursday morning.

Form the Sugar Labs Bugsquad

At this meeting we want to form the Sugar Labs 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.

The squad is modelled on the gnome bugsquad: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/

More info about the sugar bugsquad can be found at BugSquad

Questions
  • why a bugsquad?
  • why outside of olpc?
  • do we need a special mailing list (bugsquad@sugarlabs.org)?
  • do we need a special irc channel for the squad (#sugar-bugsquad)?
  • do we want a tracker at sugarlabs.org to keep track of bugs in non-olpc distributions (debian, fedora ...)?
  • How about bug days (a gathering on irc to find bugs and clean out the bug database) gnome-bug-days ?

Roadmap
Sugarbot

sugarbot is a GUI automation utility for the OLPC Project's Sugar GUI. It provides functionality for developers to write tests for their Activities, and monitor those tests in a similar manner to unit-tests. sugarbot supports continuous integration with buildbot, so that multiple platforms and host configurations may be tested seamlessly.

- What does that mean? OLPC developers now have a GUI automation environment that they can use to perform regression testing on their Activities. This enhances code reliability, and lets developers spend more time developing, and less time bug-testing and bug-hunting.

- Where can I see sugarbot in action? A screencast of Sugarbot is available here

- Where can I get sugarbot? Sugarbot's package and documentation is available here

action items:

  • get sugarbot building/running into sugar-jhbuild
  • get it to work on the buildbot
Mailing Lists
  • devel-announce? activities-devel? @sugarlabs or @laptop?

Roadmap

What do we want to do for Development Team/Release/Roadmap/0.84 ?

Status of bugfixing
  • which bugs rest for 0.82
    • marco will review the open reviews and give his opinion about landing in 8.2
    • erikos has to do 7480 and 7871
    • everyone should work on blockers, until 8/27 we can push fixes we have code already for (even though they are high and no blockers) if we get marcopg, cscott, or micahel to okay them. michael is happy if other bugs get fixed; he just don't want other bugs getting fixed at the expense of the blockers (more details will follow in another email).
  • stable releases: 0.82.1 will be a stable coordinated release (which will help to resynchronise translations), we will rely on non-coordinated module releases until then, the packages for the non-coordinated releases should be announced on the mailing list that packagers can step in and do the packaging work for their distributions
    • release date for 0.8.2 will probably be September the 17th (more details from michael)
    • release date for 0.82.1 will probably be September the 5th (more details in another email)

Update

The usual bugfixing for the upcoming release. Morgs and david spoke with the ubuntu and debian people in order to get the packaging processes going so potential developers have something to look at. Walter has been in discussion with GNOME and a few education groups - more on those topics in tomorrows sugarlabs meeting: http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2008-July/007508.html

Roadmap

action items:

  • triage squad
  • testing team
  • keep trac under control so that we have a good view of where we are
  • make sure to get the new release in Fedora
  • write down the points for the 9.1 release

Topics

Update

People is working on bugs, Marco focused on Browse, he's back full time in the team. Tomeu on miscellanea bugs, worked with Riccardo Lucchese on performance (he's interning in OLPC this summer). Sayamindu is planning future work on the Read and Terminal activities.

Change in the translation process

After changes that break the string freeze get into git, the development team should notify the localization list, so the localization team can update Pootle.

There are some worries about the frequent string freeze breaks, we hope translators will understand and things will get better for the next release.

Roadmap

David Farning suggested that some preliminary work happened on identifying the areas that will be worked on in the next releases. Benjamin Schwartz argued that people should focus completely on the current release instead, and let future planning for later.

Three big areas of work that is sorely needed by deployments are collaboration, performance and datastore. How can we improve stability at the same time?

Benjamin thinks that we should focus for two weeks on planning, and close all questions then.

Walter wants to see documents about the architecture of the datastore and collaboration. Thinks that we should aim for 3 months of design work that end up on a roadmap.

Status of bugfixing

Two major surprises lately: arabic support and provisions for operating with full NAND.

Arabic support includes taking in account RTL in the UI layout, may not land in 8.2.0.

Being resilient to NAND full situations is very important in Uruguay, where machines that get full cannot boot until are reflashed. Several options are open here and we are trying to reach consensus.

  • roadmap
  • what are the latest bugs where can we need help on
  • introduction of new developers

Additionally we have topics that can be decided by the developers. These can be added by the developers during the week. The complete process is described here: Development Team/Meetings#How_to_add_topics

The mails: You can count on receiving these mails in the sugar mailing list.

Development Team/Release/Roadmap#New_features

How to announce a new release of an activity best?

unmadindu looked into remora http://wiki.mozilla.org/Update:Remora. he noted that it's not well documented, and the look and feel needs to be changed significantly (it's primarily written for addons.mozilla.org), and we would need some PHP dev to modify it for our work

Conclusion: Someone needs to step in and do it if he/she has time!

Providing test plans along releases

m_stone and QA are requesting that each release we get in the stable build is associated with a set of tests that they need to perform to verify that stuff works as expected.

Basically we make mandatory to have a trac item associated with each news in the changelog and each trac item needs to have a testcase in it. We could use some keyword in the comment to mark it so that it can be extracted automatically. We need a ticket for each feature or fix - each item in the news basically.

Documentation efforts for Sugar API and creating sugar activities

fanwar's overall approach: One set of docs for high level functional design of sugar (Human Interface Guidelines), one set for how to's (almanac - which is what I'm working on), one set of apis from the actual code (which will be extracted through pydocs) and also some basic startup docs like those by Christoph in olpc austria.

For the moment the place where the documentation can be found is: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar-api-doc

fanwar requests: In the meantime, everyone continues to document code using pydocs and also please contribute to the almanac wiki yourselves.

Topics

How can we improve the review process?

action item: unmadindu/cjb setup review board http://www.review-board.org/

1. Break your projects into small pieces that can be submitted for review independently. Submit for review as early as possible, by mailing list or review-board site or whatever other mechanism.

More specific:

  • preferred way if possible: 1. code a small part, 2. submit to review, 3. get into joyride, 4. repeat
  • not talking about: 1. code everything, 2. split in patches, 3. submit

2. If you want testing before review, make a topic build.

3. Some new tools will be needed to make topic builds easier to make. (.img, .rpm, and .deb)

Bundlebuilder: how to create the source tarballs best to not include unintentional files.

We agreed to use an explicit MANIFEST but to provide tools to build it automatically. homunqlus is going to work on a patch for this. We need to try and freeze bundlebuilder to be able to include Develop in 8.2.

Topics

  • discuss eben's sugar todo list: http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2008-April/004909.html
    • We found out that eben's list is basically not controversial and that we 'only' need to prioritize the topics :p
      • action item: prioritize the topics
    • Expose an avatar property for buddies in the ps
      • daf stated that we have specific support for avatars in Gabble, which uses hashes, and therefore would reduce overhead.
  • AlertBox for use with palettes/notifications
    • mockup: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Specifications/Object_Transfers#Preliminary_Mockups
    • sumup:
      • an object transfer error occurs.
      • create a new palette and embed an alertbox in it.
      • create a notification object.
    • attach the new alert palette to both the notification and the transfer object in the frame.
      • Then, upon the cancel/retry button callback: make sure that the notification is gone, reattach the old palette, take the appropriate action.
    • action items:
      • a) create an AlertBox class (probably a subclass of alert or make alert more generic)
      • b) add support for more complex layout to Palette class (ability to set the content before and/or after the menu independently)
  • Activity bundle format, autoupdate
    • Homunq has a proposal up at Talk:Activity_bundles#Proposals_for_update
    • two proposals: a philosophical one about where we want to get to, including activity threading with forks, and an implementation one, which only covers activities as long as the signing key stays the same.
    • Philosophically:
      • Eben says any change of key should count as a different activity
      • Homunq argues that still grouping them in the UI will allow tighter control of keys, and that the UI can give appropriate guidance on secure practices.
      • Agree to disagree for now, because implementation is not urgent.
    • Implementation Signatures
      • morgs has minor comment about hash format (hex instead of base64, for easier comparison
      • no further comments
      • homunq will start work this week
      • unresolved issue: how to store private key for signing an activity?
        • we need to talk to m_stone .
