(10:17:56 AM) TSCHAKeee: erf
(10:18:03 AM) jimbodude: morning TSCHAKeee. :)
(10:18:04 AM) hari: jimbodude: autossh might be another option
(10:18:08 AM) hari: to replace the old scripts
(10:18:27 AM) dlewis: TSCHAKeee: got my text? lol
(10:18:28 AM) hari: technically RA is quite simple, it just logs onto the central server with ssh/pubkey and forward some ports back to the local installation
(10:18:42 AM) hari: works through NAT, we just need a mechanism to assign tcp ports on the server
(10:19:08 AM) hari: if sb wants to take on that for 0810, fine, server and such is there. If not, let's deactivate the buttons in the web admin and orbiter UI
(10:19:14 AM) jimbodude: ok, sounds like we have some discussion needed about RA - remind me to bring it up when we get to design discussions. for now - lets plow through the bugs really fast.
(10:19:41 AM) TSCHAKeee: dlewis: yup thanks
(10:19:57 AM) hari: re #160, the build works on linux with some dependencies
(10:20:13 AM) hari: it will be integrated into the external add-on build system soonish
(10:20:26 AM) jimbodude: ok. are you working on that hari?
(10:20:28 AM) hari: till then, there is a place where sambuca drops the jar
(10:20:44 AM) hari: jimbodude: yes, also the symbian v2 and v3 build
(10:20:54 AM) hari: will automate those three builds
(10:21:20 AM) jimbodude: alright - could you note that status on the ticket?
(10:21:40 AM) Zaerc: doesn't seem like a "blocker" to me
(10:21:50 AM) hari: there is no ticket for the auto build system yet
(10:22:11 AM) hari: worst case i'll do a manual run for the v2 and v3 orbiters for the beta/release
(10:22:27 AM) jimbodude: Zarec: yes, it could probably be downgraded to somewhere around major.
(10:22:27 AM) hari: and the actual jar for the javamo resides on download
(10:23:04 AM) hari: jimbodude: we shall ask sambucca if he wants to document place of the jar in the ticket
(10:23:06 AM) jimbodude: ok. so 160 is being addressed well. perfect. any other comments on 160?
(10:23:27 AM) TSCHAKeee: nope.
(10:23:28 AM) hari: i think the worst bugs are the ones we have no tickets for yet ;-p
(10:23:34 AM) jimbodude: hari: sure... I have no idea what's going on there... I just wrote the agenda... :P
(10:23:41 AM) jimbodude: hari: getting to that... ;)
(10:23:43 AM) mode (+o TSCHAKeee ) by dlewis
(10:23:52 AM) hari: jimbodude: my most important thing for this conference
(10:24:00 AM) hari: we need to find and nail down outstanding bugs
(10:24:10 AM) hari: and isolate non-finished features
(10:24:29 AM) hari: but it is too much for a single person to test all things at a time
(10:24:34 AM) hari: ppl would get crazy
(10:24:41 AM) hari: and not everybody has all stuff in his installation
(10:24:56 AM) jimbodude: so the drift I'm getting is that visiting individual bugs is not doing it for you guys - sound correct? shall we just skip into the meat? (yes | no)
(10:25:08 AM) hari: there was a status page, i think it is in our wiki, derived from pluto, with 1-5 for implementation status
(10:25:24 AM) hari: jimbodude: i'm fine reviewing individual bugs first
(10:25:34 AM) hari: but i really want that topic adressed today, too
(10:25:38 AM) Zaerc: jimbodude: yes
(10:25:49 AM) dlewis: i'm with Zaerc
(10:26:01 AM) jimbodude: alright - well lets just go to the interesting stuff then. I'm bored with bugs too...
(10:26:27 AM) Zaerc: ok
(10:26:45 AM) hari: so, that overview gave nice sections
(10:26:49 AM) hari: for ha, telephony, media, ...
(10:26:56 AM) hari: we need to enrich it, with specific test cases
(10:27:11 AM) hari: and then assign at least 2 ppl for each test case/group
(10:27:16 AM) hari: does that sound reasonable?
(10:27:24 AM) jimbodude: yes, I like it a lot.
(10:27:26 AM) hari: so we would be able to do a "full" test run in say 2-3 days
(10:27:32 AM) hari: and have every subsystem checke
(10:27:52 AM) hari: we do 2 or 3 iterations of that over the next weeks
(10:28:11 AM) hari: that should (*hope*) give us a clear picture where we are and what needs to be fixed first
(10:28:23 AM) Zaerc: fiire claimed they had developed all these wonderful test cases... but I guess they took them to their grave
(10:28:49 AM) hari: Zaerc: what i've seen from aaron for now, i really appreciate his genius, but testing seems to be the same like sales for him
(10:28:56 AM) hari: :-p
(10:29:25 AM) hari: and when we look at the regression numbers in the 0710 betas...
(10:29:27 AM) uplink-lmce [n=uplink-l@host81-137-34-33.in-addr.btopenworld.com] entered the room.
(10:29:34 AM) hari: btw, the mantis is available as www/mantis-deact
(10:29:41 AM) hari: i pulled it from public as it is exploitable
(10:29:42 AM) totallymaxed: I think the 'test cases' were more Pluto driven than Fiire to be franks
(10:29:54 AM) jimbodude: hari: have you started putting any of this together yet? in written form?
(10:29:57 AM) tkmedia_2: my production system mostly 0810 now and have lots to test
(10:30:05 AM) hari: jimbodude: yup, in this channel :-)
(10:30:16 AM) jimbodude: good start. :)
(10:30:27 AM) Zaerc: fiire != aaron
(10:31:15 AM) Zaerc: but as we've never even seen them there is little point in beating adead horse
(10:31:26 AM) totallymaxed: sure...but Fiire was just a marketing front ;-)
(10:31:48 AM) hari: brb
(10:31:51 AM) jimbodude: alright, so we need to write up some tests.
(10:31:53 AM) Zaerc: I'll just have to take your word for that
(10:31:54 AM) fido [n=fido@cpc2-glen1-0-0-cust693.belf.cable.ntl.com] entered the room.
(10:31:58 AM) fido left the room.
(10:32:43 AM) tkmedia_2: 1. squeezeboom tested sucessfully on 0810 this AM
(10:32:43 AM) jimbodude: everyone agree with the basics of hari's plan?
(10:33:06 AM) tkmedia_2: pnp
(10:33:32 AM) Zaerc: fine with me
(10:33:41 AM) totallymaxed: sure
(10:33:49 AM) dlewis: I agree
(10:34:01 AM) tkmedia_2: sure
(10:34:08 AM) jimbodude: hari: want to take the lead on that? I'm available to help as you see fit.
(10:34:46 AM) jimbodude: he'll answer when he gets back...
(10:35:12 AM) jimbodude: next agenda topic is release scheduling.
(10:35:31 AM) TSCHAKeee: whoa, we have a schedule?
(10:35:38 AM) jimbodude: basically, I see a release schedule as a way to focus developer efforts - even if it changes all the time.
(10:35:41 AM) TSCHAKeee: *walks-around-all-dazed*
(10:35:47 AM) jimbodude: TSCHAKeee: nope. that's why I put it on there.
(10:35:53 AM) TSCHAKeee: ;)
(10:36:08 AM) Zaerc: TSCHAKeee: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Meeting1Agenda
(10:36:21 AM) TSCHAKeee: I know, i was being sarcastic. ;)
(10:36:32 AM) Zaerc: oh you meant release-schedule
(10:36:52 AM) jimbodude: generally speaking, if software projects want to be successful, they have a schedule - even if it's fairly vague.
(10:37:07 AM) hari: jimbodude: want, yes, can, no
(10:37:21 AM) jimbodude: what do you guys think about pulling together some milestones and dates for 0810 - even if we don't tell anyone about them?
(10:37:29 AM) Zaerc: heh, I remember setting a rough date for the beta a few months ago
(10:38:00 AM) colinjones [i=9665c9a9@gateway/web/ajax/mibbit.com/x-cfa01ade4796ad9b] entered the room.
(10:38:00 AM) jimbodude: ok hari - I'll take point on it for now then. we can move it around later.
(10:38:02 AM) Zaerc: since then I feel we've only been moving away from the beta
(10:38:15 AM) mode (+o colinjones ) by Zaerc
(10:38:48 AM) colinjones: :) ignore me, just catching up on the dev thread... too tired and drunk to contribute!
(10:39:01 AM) jimbodude: I'm not sure "moving away" is quite right - a lot has come up, and a lot of new features are being added.
(10:39:27 AM) Zaerc: well, that's what I call moving away
(10:39:33 AM) totallymaxed: my feeling is that we need some kind of schedule...
(10:39:36 AM) jimbodude: it seems, to me, that a lot of the issues we're having we've had for quite a while and they just aren't getting addressed.
(10:40:07 AM) TSCHAKeee: the big one right now is getting media directors to boot
(10:40:35 AM) jimbodude: If there were some milestone targets - for instance "release alpha 3, fixing the following issues: blah blah blah, on such and whatever date"
(10:40:51 AM) jimbodude: we might be able to focus development power towards the ultimate goal.
(10:41:05 AM) totallymaxed: without a schedule we're just drifting...jimbodude seems like a good idea
(10:41:56 AM) jimbodude: any further thoughts?
(10:42:02 AM) Zaerc: TSCHAKeee: I was working on that
(10:42:35 AM) TSCHAKeee: ok
(10:43:02 AM) tkmedia_2: why isn't  /Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh run in the post_install ?
(10:43:08 AM) jimbodude: do you guys want to pull something together here, delegate for later work, or not have a schedule?
(10:43:13 AM) Zaerc: but apparently we need a launch-manager instead of figuring the bootscripts out properly, so I kind of dropped it
(10:44:05 AM) Zaerc: (or whatever it's supposed to be called these days)
(10:44:13 AM) hari: Zaerc: i think both are way important
(10:44:23 AM) TSCHAKeee: jimbodude: I know what I need to do from my perspective. my big one is getting mame to work, since the other big ones that were initially on my plate are dealt with.
(10:44:39 AM) hari: Zaerc: otherwise we'd end up using dcewhisperer in the launchcore script ;-)
(10:44:45 AM) TSCHAKeee: but anything else anybody decides to put on my plate is cool, just let me know
(10:44:59 AM) totallymaxed: hari: great idea :-)
(10:45:01 AM) hari: but the actual qt/dce interwoven mess had to be cleaned up
(10:45:04 AM) jimbodude: well, I don't think the problem is people not doing their work - I think the problem is that tasks are getting overlooked because they don't have deadlines.
(10:45:07 AM) hari: totallymaxed: i knew you'd like it
(10:45:18 AM) Zaerc: dcewhisperer?
(10:45:22 AM) hari: totallymaxed: really, why not, everything is better than the crap we had (and nobody understood)
(10:45:26 AM) totallymaxed: :-)
(10:45:31 AM) jimbodude: can you guys stay on topic for me please? we can deal with design stuff later. we're talking about scheduling now.
(10:45:57 AM) TSCHAKeee: and it was. We now have a stable launching system again
(10:46:00 AM) Zaerc: ok
(10:46:13 AM) jimbodude: do you guys want to pull something together here, delegate for later work, or not have a schedule?
(10:46:14 AM) TSCHAKeee: and one that can have the necessary UI attached to it.
(10:46:23 AM) TSCHAKeee: I do.
(10:46:39 AM) hari: Zaerc: the bits that could not be implemented in bash to do dce communications
(10:46:44 AM) hari: so a bit of a GSD for bash :-p
(10:47:17 AM) totallymaxed: :-)
(10:47:21 AM) Zaerc: I don't see a need for it, but let's stay on topic
(10:47:40 AM) Zaerc: and maybe discuss that later
(10:47:48 AM) TSCHAKeee: i'm all for it, just give me stuff to do. I'll balance it with the remote work.
(10:48:11 AM) hari: yeah, schedule is important
(10:48:20 AM) hari: i always do stuff when approaching the deadline :-p
(10:48:27 AM) jimbodude: I don't think we're at the point of assigning work... but if we all agree that we want to get certain things done by a certain date, we can make sure nothing gets overlooked at least.
(10:48:44 AM) totallymaxed: agreed
(10:48:48 AM) jimbodude: is that the general consensus? no major objections?
(10:49:01 AM) Zaerc: none here
(10:49:19 AM) jimbodude: shall we start hashing something out now, or assign it as a task to someone?
(10:49:19 AM) TSCHAKeee: i'm cool
(10:50:18 AM) jimbodude: alright... so let's look into it a bit now.
(10:50:45 AM) jimbodude: let's talk about big things that don't work - not about why they don't work, just that they don't.
(10:51:04 AM) tkmedia_2: MD booting
(10:51:08 AM) jimbodude: what are the biggest broken things - with special focus on things that worked on 0710?
(10:51:41 AM) tkmedia_2: KDE desktop on MD
(10:52:02 AM) tkmedia_2: or lack there of
(10:52:13 AM) totallymaxed: How to get back to Orbiter from KDE
(10:52:29 AM) totallymaxed: ...if the LM is cli
(10:52:34 AM) Zaerc: click workspace 3 for now
(10:52:38 AM) TSCHAKeee: now that we have LM, I just make a plasmoid
(10:52:46 AM) TSCHAKeee: which will reorder the workspace correctly
(10:52:58 AM) jimbodude: ok, lets keep this out of fixes and design for a bit though.
(10:53:01 AM) jimbodude: just broken things.
(10:53:10 AM) hari: do we want/need kde?
(10:53:15 AM) Zaerc: is the KDE bar still visible through UI2?
(10:53:24 AM) jimbodude: Zaerc: I never see it.
(10:53:26 AM) hari: i mean do ppl use the desktop feature on the living room tv?
(10:53:27 AM) totallymaxed: desktop oversizing at HD resolutions...
(10:53:33 AM) tkmedia_2: i use my MD as daily computer using kde
(10:53:35 AM) TSCHAKeee: (the LM keeps track of the on screen orbiter, and can be used to reorder to the right places
(10:53:38 AM) TSCHAKeee: hari: I do.
(10:53:49 AM) totallymaxed: yes we do use the desktop on living room TV's
(10:53:50 AM) Zaerc: hari: yes amongst other things to use ktorrent
(10:54:12 AM) TSCHAKeee: all I need to do is talk to jondecker76 on the client socket protocol
(10:54:18 AM) TSCHAKeee: and I can make a plasmoid to do this correctly
(10:54:22 AM) jimbodude: ok, back to broken things - KDE stuff gets added to the list
(10:54:37 AM) TSCHAKeee: once i know what to do, it's only an hour or so of work.
(10:54:43 AM) totallymaxed: ...at HD resolutions like 720p or 1080i... the desktop is incorrectly sized on TV's
(10:54:44 AM) tkmedia_2: login problem on MD
(10:55:27 AM) TSCHAKeee: totallymaxed: yeah, it's somewhat ironic, we override everything, and in the process lose any automatic DPI info we need to display desktop fonts at the right size.
(10:55:43 AM) totallymaxed: correct TSCHAKeee 
(10:55:46 AM) tkmedia_2: Auto detect of USBUIRT
(10:55:55 AM) jimbodude: how about some of the other components - like telecom... game... web admin...
(10:56:04 AM) jimbodude: tkmedia_2: I like your list... keep it rolling.
(10:56:29 AM) colinjones left the room (quit: "http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client").
(10:56:51 AM) tkmedia_2: ir codes in sqlcvs
(10:57:12 AM) TSCHAKeee: i think jondecker has been steadily hacking away at that one
(10:57:17 AM) tkmedia_2: yes
(10:57:37 AM) tkmedia_2: just want it on the the list
(10:57:53 AM) tkmedia_2: so it dont get missed
(10:58:05 AM) jimbodude: exactly.
(10:58:23 AM) jimbodude: it has a ticket too - which is nice. #119.
(10:58:31 AM) jimbodude: (we'll talk about that later)
(10:58:51 AM) jimbodude: alright, so I think that's a pretty complete list for now.
(10:58:59 AM) dlewis: we definitely need to work on upgrading telecom
(10:59:04 AM) tkmedia_2: serial detection
(10:59:06 AM) dlewis: making more devices PnP
(10:59:20 AM) jimbodude: ok, I guess we can make it more complete... :)
(10:59:29 AM) TSCHAKeee: now that we have a working media director phone combo
(10:59:31 AM) tkmedia_2: cisco 7070 wrong room problem
(10:59:39 AM) TSCHAKeee: telecom plugin bugs are really coming out of the woodwork
(10:59:40 AM) tkmedia_2: 7970
(11:00:28 AM) jimbodude: you guys just keep rolling - Now. someone needs to go through this list, prioritize it, assign things to milestones, and we need to agree on dates to hit the milestones.
(11:01:17 AM) dlewis: do we have a comprehensive list of telecom bugs?
(11:01:20 AM) tkmedia_2: Some issue with the sony changer.... certainly not release stoppers
(11:01:33 AM) jimbodude: I don't think this is the best place to do that - maybe someone could come up with a draft, and 2-3 of the lead devs could review it. does that sound reasonable? any takers?
(11:01:45 AM) jimbodude: dlewis: probably not - we're going to get to bug tracking next.
(11:01:50 AM) TSCHAKeee: the big show stoppers right now are media director support, and certain devices not popping up like the UIRT and ZWave devices.
(11:01:52 AM) tkmedia_2: I will test and put in trac
(11:02:01 AM) TSCHAKeee: (both serial devices)
(11:02:40 AM) jimbodude: I'm going to try to cut this in about a half hour to 40 minutes guys - just to keep it reasonable. after that, we can break out and dig in deeper on specific issues.
(11:03:03 AM) tkmedia_2: yes not sure if the pnp scripts get passed to my tv if using a usb/serial adapter
(11:03:12 AM) ***Zaerc agrees with TSCHAKeee, the rest can be fixed during the beta
(11:03:15 AM) jimbodude: so back to my previous two points on scheduling - anyone want to take the lead on that?
(11:03:32 AM) TSCHAKeee: please dear god anybody but me
(11:04:12 AM) jimbodude: I'm not in any position to assign a task like that... so someone is going to have to volunteer or it's going to be left.
(11:04:49 AM) Zaerc: ok I guess that means nobody feels like doing that, let's move on
(11:05:01 AM) jimbodude: alrighty then.
(11:05:38 AM) jimbodude: there's a note on the agenda from jondecker76 about update scheduling - we'll defer that until we have a release schedule...
(11:06:17 AM) jimbodude: I'm also going to jump over his points about installation number generation for now - he's documented his thoughts pretty well in the agenda.
(11:06:23 AM) jimbodude: to get to bug tracking.
(11:06:23 AM) TSCHAKeee: ok
(11:06:28 AM) Zaerc: I'm a bit surprised that he's not here
(11:06:47 AM) TSCHAKeee: probably at work
(11:07:12 AM) jimbodude: so, I'm noticing a LOT of issues that people just "know about" that aren't documented in Trac.
(11:07:27 AM) Zaerc: TSCHAKeee: since when is that an excuse? ;^)
(11:07:40 AM) ***TSCHAKeee whistles 
(11:07:48 AM) jimbodude: I think that's a pretty bad practice with such a distributed team - we're losing track of what needs to be done.
(11:07:59 AM) TSCHAKeee: I wish there was a brain dump plugin for trac
(11:08:07 AM) jimbodude: it would be nice yes...
(11:08:07 AM) TSCHAKeee: yeah...
(11:08:12 AM) TSCHAKeee: you're right.
(11:08:26 AM) Zaerc: jimbodude: tbh I gave up on using trac a long time ago
(11:08:32 AM) jimbodude: and of course - I'm no angel... I just reported a bug yesterday that I've known about since I get 0810.
(11:08:39 AM) jimbodude: yes, I've noticed that Zaerc.
(11:08:53 AM) jimbodude: I think you're not the only one.
(11:09:00 AM) tkmedia_2: should i flood it with what i have ..... i did not want to burden with my trivial bugs
(11:09:08 AM) TSCHAKeee: yes please
(11:09:21 AM) jimbodude: yes. that's what the priority scale is for.
(11:09:34 AM) hari: we'd be lost without tracking
(11:09:37 AM) totallymaxed: Well I'll commit to adding anything we have here to Trac...
(11:09:47 AM) tkmedia_2: ok you asked for it
(11:09:52 AM) totallymaxed: :-)
(11:10:07 AM) TSCHAKeee: totallymaxed: yup, we're interested to see what you guys run into for 0810
(11:10:13 AM) TSCHAKeee: and half scared too
(11:10:15 AM) jimbodude: Trac can help us determine where to focus developer efforts, give newbies a place to start working on stuff, and tell us where the project stands.
(11:10:25 AM) jimbodude: it is essential that we use it - in my opinion.
(11:10:38 AM) tkmedia_2: ok what about working things
(11:10:56 AM) tkmedia_2: like the squeezboom
(11:11:04 AM) totallymaxed: well we have a full time Core dedicated to testing 0810 now... so the flow from us should be greater going forwards
(11:11:07 AM) tkmedia_2: so we dont duplicate effort
(11:11:19 AM) jimbodude: I suggest we draft and agree on a bug reporting policy.  We also need someone to keep an eye out and make sure we're not throwing bugs under the rug and ignoring them.
(11:11:34 AM) TSCHAKeee: to tell you the truth, it's fucking amazing that we've gotten this far and not checked into the looney bin.
(11:11:41 AM) jimbodude: tkmedia_2: I'm not sure what you mean... there are no bug reports for things that work.
(11:11:53 AM) totallymaxed: TSCHAKeee: :-)
(11:12:12 AM) tkmedia_2: yes but how do know what works unless we test
(11:12:15 AM) jimbodude: right, TSCHAKeee, and as more people get added to the project, we're going to go nuttier.
(11:12:23 AM) tkmedia_2: and this is a new item
(11:12:28 AM) jimbodude: tkmedia_2: that's where hari's testing plan comes in.
(11:12:39 AM) tkmedia_2: k
(11:12:58 AM) jimbodude: tkmedia_2: patches should probably go through Trac also - so we have a ticket to reference the feature implementation.
(11:13:06 AM) tkmedia_2: many things have already been tested
(11:13:10 AM) jimbodude: but that's part of the policy that we haven't talked about yet.
(11:13:34 AM) jimbodude: tkmedia_2: right. and many things have not, or have not been tested well.
(11:13:51 AM) jimbodude: which is where the test plan comes in.
(11:13:55 AM) tkmedia_2: k
(11:14:10 AM) jimbodude: so back to defect tracking.
(11:15:04 AM) jimbodude: does that sound reasonable to everyone? report all bugs, prioritize correctly, keep the bug status up to date. do we want a written policy? something based on what I wrote earlier, something different?
(11:15:29 AM) TSCHAKeee: that's fine to me
(11:16:42 AM) Zaerc: fine with me too
(11:17:20 AM) jimbodude: Ok, I'll volunteer to pull together a policy and wiki that.  It will be based on what I've written here: http://jimbodude.net/wiki/Bug_Reporting -
(11:17:35 AM) jimbodude: Any other comments on defect tracking?
(11:17:49 AM) Zaerc: I thought that already was the policy
(11:18:17 AM) Zaerc: yeah, anonymous users should only have read-only access
(11:18:28 AM) TSCHAKeee: (1) is it broken?
(11:18:37 AM) jimbodude: well, it's not really worded as a policy, and we never formally "agreed" on it. I'll reword it at bit and drop it on wiki.linuxmce.org
(11:18:43 AM) TSCHAKeee: (2) Put in Trac, so we know, and wait
(11:18:55 AM) TSCHAKeee: (3) or for big brownie points, hack on it and submit patch
(11:19:35 AM) jimbodude: Zaerc: yes I agree.
(11:19:42 AM) jimbodude: TSCHAKeee: yep, pretty much that.
(11:20:14 AM) Zaerc: TSCHAKeee: (1b) is it really broken?
(11:20:23 AM) jimbodude: alright. I'll pull that together.  Zaerc, I can't help you with read only - you know better than I do who to talk to for that...
(11:20:51 AM) Zaerc: jimbodude: tried that...
(11:21:06 AM) jimbodude: any other comments here? if not, we're going to move on to the last topic - next meeting, if any - and be done here.
(11:21:07 AM) Zaerc: but it's hard to talk to people who don't  listen
(11:21:44 AM) totallymaxed: Bi-weekly?
(11:21:54 AM) jimbodude: ok. so the big question is - more meetings? was this useful?
(11:22:04 AM) totallymaxed: Yes
(11:22:10 AM) jimbodude: I think it was.
(11:22:11 AM) Zaerc: yes
(11:22:33 AM) TSCHAKeee: I am reminded of a certain Dave Barry quote.
(11:22:37 AM) jimbodude: and I'll volunteer to continue pulling together agendas and such to keep them running.
(11:23:12 AM) jimbodude: Ok, so how far do we want to space these? week, 2 week, month, other?
(11:23:13 AM) TSCHAKeee: “If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings” -Dave Barry
(11:23:21 AM) dlewis: yes, very useful
(11:23:37 AM) totallymaxed: 2 week looks good
(11:23:48 AM) TSCHAKeee: yeah, 2 week is fine.
(11:24:08 AM) tkmedia_2: or weekly to start
(11:24:12 AM) totallymaxed: TSCHAKeee: nice quote ;-)
(11:24:53 AM) jimbodude: maybe next week to pull together some of the big things we have discussed here - like testing plan, scheduling, defect policy, then bi-weekly after that?
(11:24:54 AM) Zaerc: I'd say weekly, keep 'em short and to thepoint
(11:25:51 AM) jimbodude: alright. next week then? and we'll decide on permanent schedule then?
(11:26:10 AM) totallymaxed: ok
(11:26:18 AM) Zaerc: fine with me
(11:26:19 AM) TSCHAKeee: all I'd really want is just a small set of stuff to work on for the next build.
(11:26:22 AM) tkmedia_2: sounds good
(11:26:34 AM) jimbodude: I'll do the leg work before the meeting.  I need a bit of help with scheduling - I think we missed some people this week because of how I did things.
(11:26:59 AM) Zaerc: maybe sundays is better for some?
(11:27:01 AM) tkmedia_2: be nice to have jondecker here
(11:27:17 AM) totallymaxed: or evenings his time
(11:27:29 AM) totallymaxed: what timezone is he in?
(11:27:32 AM) TSCHAKeee: that's the other thing too, the one thing we DO NOT need on this project is burnout
(11:27:46 AM) totallymaxed: Agreed
(11:27:47 AM) Zaerc: totallymaxed: if you like having these meetings at 3am...
(11:28:02 AM) TSCHAKeee: this project has the highest potential burnout and turnover rate in the history of time :P
(11:28:12 AM) totallymaxed: :-)
(11:28:26 AM) jimbodude: well, I think this meeting is much more intense than what we'll have going forward to begin with... I imagine a 15 minute check in every week or two once we get all the big stuff hashed out.
(11:28:38 AM) totallymaxed: Zaerc: but what timezone is jondecker in? Anyone know?
(11:28:53 AM) TSCHAKeee: wanna say US/Eastern
(11:29:09 AM) totallymaxed: maybe we can vary the time so that people get a more agreeable slot
(11:29:16 AM) Zaerc: totallymaxed: I reckon somewhere between GMT-7 and GMT-9
(11:29:16 AM) jimbodude: alright - so next week. can someone schedule a time for us? someone who knows our devs a bit better than me preferably?
(11:29:20 AM) Zaerc: or around
(11:29:38 AM) tkmedia_2: btw good job jimbodude
(11:29:42 AM) TSCHAKeee: yes
(11:29:44 AM) totallymaxed: seconded
(11:29:45 AM) TSCHAKeee: second that
(11:29:48 AM) jimbodude: I do what I can.
(11:29:57 AM) Zaerc: I think the time was good
(11:30:15 AM) hari: yup
(11:30:15 AM) TSCHAKeee: dlewis: thanks for the page.
(11:30:16 AM) Zaerc: maybe an hour or so later
(11:30:32 AM) TSCHAKeee: yeah, that way I can waaaaaaaaaaaake up
(11:30:40 AM) Zaerc: so TSCHAKeee can come on time;^)
(11:30:48 AM) Zaerc: heh beat me to it
(11:30:56 AM) TSCHAKeee: hehehe
(11:30:59 AM) totallymaxed: :-)
(11:31:41 AM) jimbodude: alright. I think we're done? anything else?
(11:32:07 AM) jimbodude: can one of you grab the transcript and plop it here for me - http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php?title=20090415Transcript&action=edit -
(11:32:08 AM) Zaerc: not that I can think of atm
(11:32:25 AM) jimbodude: it comes out all silly if I use mibbit...
(11:32:32 AM) Zaerc: I don't have logging on...
(11:32:44 AM) totallymaxed: Nope...good job jimbodude
(11:32:45 AM) jimbodude: haha there's one way to avoid writing docs... :P
