Chair: Martin Pitt
Present: Mark Shuttleworth, Colin Watson, Kees Cook
* Setting the Ubuntu series release manager in Launchpad to ubuntu-release
* No further problems with this expected, Colin agreed to doing the switch
* Things to check:
* non-release-team core-devs can target tasks to oneiric; already
tested in https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/451390/comments/10
* non-core-dev release team members can modify oneiric milestones
* Measuring installation success/failure, updated proposal from Evan
Dandrea: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2011-June/000935.html
* the purpose of collecting the data is to make Ubuntu better
* while we won't make the data entirely public (avoiding unexpected
privacy concerns, and competitive questions), people with
technical/research projects who have a need for it can ask the TB
for data (this includes Canonical employees)
* for opt-out we need to write a privacy policy
* people who are concerned about what data we're collecting can of
course examine the client source code; we won't correlate IP
addresses with this
* we need to discuss data security (against theft) with IS
* This proposal, under above conditions, got 4 out of 4 votes from
the present TB members; for the record, Scott James Remnant
mentioned that he'd prefer having all the data being public
* SRU microrelease exception for Banshee
* Upstream clarified and documented patch backporting and QA policy:
https://live.gnome.org/Banshee/StableReleasesPolicy
* Got 4 out of 4 votes from the present TB members, accepted; wiki
page updated accordingly
* DMB voting procedure was discussed quickly, but we ran out of time.
Will be discussed via email or carried to next meeting.
* Policy proposal for partner repository: Ran out of time, carried to
next meeting.
