• Quim

  • Today: Will work instead of Monday. Asking sponsored participants to hurry up with bookings. Triage Website bugs.
  • Problems: Can't decide on all sponsorship requests while having big items undefined in the budget. High season in Berlin in September, many hotels/Hostels quite booked those days, this increases average price of accommodation.

Friday 2008-07-18

• Andre
  • Yesterday: Triaged some older bugs

  • Today: Clean queue of sponsorship requests. Have a look to accommodation in Berlin Mitte and surroundings (although it's raining...)
  • Problems: imo we are starting to get many sponsorship requests not very reasonable, perhaps a "device discount" fever is starting. Hopefully not since I have better things to do than triaging requests from unknown people trying out. In any case this is a better problem than the lack of awareness we had just 3 days ago.  :)

Thursday 2008-07-17

• Dave
  • Yesterday: Wrote a presentation for OSCon 2008 (next week), spent all afternoon on administrative stuff (bank, accountant, post office, phone calls), spent quite a while answering email.
  • Today: Some phone calls, wrapping up GUADEC/GNOME stuff, will not make much progress on maemo stuff. Plan to kick-start the selection team for logo contest.
  • Problems: July is the month of conferences. I'm only back & I'm leaving again. Need to learn how to get work done on the road.

• Niels
  • Yesterday: MySQL upgrade preparation for Bugzilla, installed fixes for profiles. Requested new certificate for wiki. Worked on garage performance issues and monitored the massmailer.
  • Today: Fix some bugs related to mediawiki Bugzilla plugin, work on Extras changes.
  • Problems: Can't seem to find anybody whom can handle my SSL renewal request due to holidays.

• Ferenc
  • Yesterday: fixed twice :) mail bug on garage
  • Today: nothing
  • Problems: none

• Quim
  • Yesterday: Help Soumya getting a first draft of Task:Components_and_packages out. Complete 1st (and last?) wave of Summit promotion with a mass mailing that is working quite well. GNOME Hackfest could be based on GStreamer. OSiM registration, agreed to wait until August 1st to define the group package.
  • Today: Fly to Berlin and agree the basics with the c-base guys. If time permits, have a look to hostels in the area.
  • Problems: Couldn't upload Soumya's table. Wiki won't allow uploading OOo docs. Sent to maemo-community but retained because of 40kb limit (the mail had 46kb). In Ferenc's hands now.

Wednesday 2008-07-16

• Ferenc
  • Yesterday: viewvc install started on garage
  • Today: complete viewvc install on garage, fix mail bug on garage
  • Problems: garage is slow and overloaded. from time to time the svn commit hook script makes the server very busy. the qt4 team is using the garage web space to maintain their Debian repo there. they should move to extras-devel.

• Quim
  • Yesterday: Split tasks and roles of the Summit + instructions for travel sent. Agreed with Soumya first draft of components and packages. More Summit promo in ITt and got some good names (yay!). Details on possible GNOME Hackfest in Berlin.
  • Today: Help Soumya getting a first draft of Task:Components_and_packages out, even if it's still a bit messy and not very nice-looking (Markitechture is a complex art!). OSiM developer session plan.
  • Problems: Not a big one but OSiM discount is on their side now. Waiting.

• Niels
  • Yesterday: Worked on performance issues on garage (Added php caching, smarter reindexing of repositories), setup non-free distribution for extras-devel and testing with etrunko, fixed some repository reindexing issues.
  • Today: Fix wiki ssl certificate, fix non-free cron issues, get garage performance issues sorted out.
  • Problems: Wiki ssl certificate expired.

• Dave
  • Yesterday: Cleared email backlog (yay!). No-one on #maemo bit for the wiki page of the day - looks like I'll be cleaning it up myself. Talked to Quim about "Who's who" (see, reporting Problems does work) - looks like I'm blocking on bug #3262, and will be bumping to 100Days/Sprint3. Didn't get round to creating the wiki page with companies & logos - will do it today.
  • Today: Create wiki page with list of companies working on maemo, plus logos. Presentation to finish for OSCon next week, and some outstanding GUADEC/GNOME stuff, must see accountant too, rest of the day in the wiki - goal: 3 pages.
  • Problems: Not enough hours in the day. Quim: Can you put in a request with management for days to be extended to 28 hours, please?

Tuesday 2008-07-15

• Andre
  • Yesterday: Catch up with incoming bugs of the last week and follow-up mail and bugmail; sync statuses with Nokia's internal Tracker
  • Today: Clean up more old bugs; work on Bugsquad proposal and wiki pages
  • Problems: only non-technical (flu) ;-)

• Dave
  • Yesterday: French bank holiday. Fixed up "Wiki page of the Day", and caught up with part of my mail backlog. Also did some GNOME stuff.
  • Today: Finish catching up with email backlog. List companies involved in maemo development and send list to maemo-community. Fix up 2 wiki pages, and push people on #maemo to fix up the Wiki page of the Day.
  • Problems: I don't know what to do with the list of companies working on maemo when it's done. We should put logos somewhere, figure out what a company needs to do to get on the list, and link this into someplace sensible. Not sure if this is best as a new Midgard page or a living Wiki page.

• Ferenc
  • Today: mail bug on garage, viewvc install on garage to reduce the load
  • Problems: none

• Niels
  • Yesterday: Debugged repository problems, tuned repository tools to lower load on garage, tested registration, installed bugzilla plugin for mediawiki (Doesn't work yet because of firewall issues)
  • Today: Try to get new things done instead of trying to fix random things breaking.
  • Problems: Insane server load on multiple machines, lack of access to machines, lack of response from ISP and people on vacation, but apart from that everything is OK.

• Quim
  • Yesterday: Blog notes about GUADEC. More Summit promotion (#maemo & GNOME Foundation) + instructions for accommodation. Assist Soumya on Task:Components_and_packages.
  • Today: Split tasks and roles of the Summit + instructions for travel + OSiM discount. Agree with Soumya first draft of components and packages?
  • Problems: Reaching the right audience for sponsorship requests is harder than I thought e.g. penguinbait knew just yesterday about all this and now it's too late for him. I wonder if there are more cases like him. I want to have the sponsored guys decided asap for efficiency and to avoid last minute stress.
