Ubuntu QA Meeting Minutes - 2010-06-09

[Ronald McCollam]

== Meeting logs ==

I do not believe that #ubuntu-quality is logged (at least I have been
unable to find the logs) so I have put a transcript here:

    http://people.canonical.com/~fader/20100609.txt

== Actions from last meeting ==

 * ara to create hudson+mago branch and write some docs: DONE, see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/Specs/SharingTestingInfrastructure#Mago%20Tests
 * ara to talk with IRC council to set up bot in #ubuntu-quality: DONE

== SRU Testing (sbeattie) ==

The latest report as well as an archive of previous ones can be found
at:

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/SRUReports

Help testing Stable Release Updates is always needed! You can check
what needs testing at:

    http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html

== Bug Day status (pedro_) ==

Last week the Bugsquad team ran a Bug Day for Compiz:

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20100603

Turnout was low due to Alpha 1 also being released that week, using a
lot of testing resources.  ~15 bugs were triaged that day.

The next Bug Day is on gnome-games and work has already begun:
    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20100610

Help always welcome! You can join the Bugsquad at #ubuntu-bugs

== Blueprints update (all) ==

Status toward Alpha 2 is available here:


http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/maverick/canonical-platform-qa-maverick-alpha-2.html

sbeattie and hggdh are re-evaluating the server tests to verify what is
possible and drop the tests that cannot be performed.

== Kernel Triage Summit (JFo) ==

The kernel team is redefining their triage methods.  Work is ongoing on
this front, but the following wiki pages have information already:

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Tagging
    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BugReview

Additionally they are planning what is hoped to be a twice-yearly event
called the Kernel Triage Summit.  This will be an online event to help
triagers learn how to work with various types of kernel bugs.  There
will be sessions on how to triage bugs for specific kernel subsystems as
well as some general kernel triage sessions.

JFo is still preparing information about the event and will be sending
out information on several mailing lists.  He has also agreed to return
to the QA meeting to provide this information there.

Finally, he has discussed this on the Ubuntu UK podcast:

== Sound Card Compatibility Testing (awbancroft) ==

awbancroft has pointed out that audio is an area of concern for bugs in
Ubuntu.  After some discussion, we decided to try a targeted testing
program similar to the one we ran last cycle for proprietary video
driver tests.  awbancroft has agreed to head up this effort and will put
together a plan for testing with ara acting as a mentor.

There are also several wiki pages with information about audio testing.
JFo is working on a central location for these, but until that is ready,
the information is available here:

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio
    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems

== Selection of new chair (fader_) ==

bladernr has agreed to act as chair next week.  The meeting will take
place at 1700 UTC in #ubuntu-quality.

== Location of meetings ==

ara and bladernr proposed that we keep the meetings in #ubuntu-quality
rather than #ubuntu-meeting for flexibility and control purposes.  A
vote was had and was unanimously in favor of this.  Future meetings will
take place in #ubuntu-quality.

== Actions ==

 * sbeattie and hggdh to reevaluate server tests
 * AWB to put together a structured testing program for audio testing
(with mentorship from ara)

Thanks!
