Greetings all. As tasked at the last Xubuntu meeting, I
write to ask for folks to consider what tasks would
benefit Xubuntu to be undertaken during Ubuntu Global
Jam. Ubuntu Global Jam is a time for local user
communities ("LoCo") to actively participate in a major
push to get to the end of the development cycle. The
timeframe this cycle is Friday, 12 September 2014 17:00 to
Sunday, 14 September 2014 22:00 UTC. With respect to the
Utopic Unicorn release schedule, that is the weekend
directly after User Interface Freeze hits on Thursday, 11
September 2014. Documentation String Freeze will hit on
Thursday, 18 September 2014.<br>
<br>
What is needed at this point are the nomination of tasks
that can be given as suggestions to LoCo groups to engage
in during the Global Jam. These need to be things that
can be accomplished by a group of varying levels of
experience with Xubuntu. They need to stay within the
weekend preferably. They also should abide by the release
schedule to help move us forward. A reporting loop needs
to be built-in so that feedback from the event can be
gathered and we have data we can act upon.<br>
<br>
Do we need specific packages tested? Any last
documentation to write? Seeking new places for pkexec
profiles? Stress-testing the Core? Patching of things
needed?<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br>

The end-user documentation is translatable in Launchpad
[1]and the default cut-off percentage to include
translations is 80%.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">Up to now there are only two fully
translated idioms, Finnish and Portuguese. The French
(68,94%), Russian (65,65%) and Spanish (48,96%) translations
are the ones that seem to be good candidates to be included
in the next release if some more work could be done on them.</div>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
To be clear: all of the translations are good candidates, the
aforementioned are just realistic candidates.<br>
<br>
It's possible, but though, to finish the translation from scratch
within a weekend with a team of two-three people dedicated to a
single language.<br>
