Roundtable sessions of the Community team.

It's time to update the Ubuntu development videos. In the sessions we want to discuss - which topics to pick (Essentials: Intro to Ubuntu Development, Getting Set Up, Discussion of a Debian package, Fixing a small bug) - solutions to recording/editing videos/screencasts

The last two parts of the onramp: - Knowing what to work on. - Rewarding people who contribute to charm stuff, raise the visibility

Meeting for Ubuntu IRC ops, to meet and discuss various topics.

All development work items and discussions for Lubuntu 13.04. Some topics for discussions : * Specific testcases * Dropping alternate ISO in favor of netboot install * Discuss release schedule * ...

As part of this session we should talk about these topics: - Find a way to deal with updating the wiki page in the most painless way. - Investigate how we could get things into Harvest automatically. - Encourage engineers to tag bugs as 'bitesize'."

During the Precise cycle, we had a living translation coordinator community with active members who did things done. This has deteriorated during the Quantal cycle because of life, but it would be useful for the ubuntu-translations effort to resurrect the initiative. Possible tasks that need volunteers: - Language pack update management - Translation import management - Bug management - Reviewing the wiki content at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/ - ?

Did you always want to get involved with Ubuntu Development but don't know where to start? Perfect! We want you to help us test our documentation. No experience necessary, you just need to have a working (not too old) Ubuntu installation.

As Ubuntu members (and contributors), we understand Ubuntu (culture, community, technology, project, etc). How can we communicate Ubuntu to others outside the project (especially journalists/media) in a way that makes things easy to understand and reduces the tendency on the non-Ubuntu-community to "get the story wrong" or to "spin" stories with a default negative bias. Let's discuss opportunities and strategies to improve how we reach the non-Ubuntu crowd.

Roundtable sessions of the Community team.

Executive Summary: The main idea is to make discovery of Ubuntu community automatic, and not an accident. Community is meant in the whole and general sense of "anyone who uses or contributes to Ubuntu." (In this context, community is not meant to be restricted to LoCo teams.) If we can drive more people towards the Ubuntu user&contributor communities in-real-life, then we can begin to harness the energy of the millions of people that enjoy Ubuntu every day. No other OS in the world can currently do that. Let's be the first. Problem Statement: "Houston we have a problem." Most people who have discovered Ubuntu community have done so accidentally. Most people (who are on the other side of the chasm) have no idea that community is central to the growth and development of Ubuntu. Most people have no idea whether others in their town/city are using Ubuntu. We need to make community obvious and make community formation easy. Proposal: One possible solution is to create a "Community Lens" or (similarly obvious desktop element). Make it prominent. Connect it to one's local community, beginning with those who use and enjoy Ubuntu in our town/city. Over time, expand it to include additional nearby non-Ubuntu social connections: family, friends, neighbourhood, city... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MakingCommunityObvious

The DAT has been becoming better and better organised, still we need to fix the following things to be able to better accompany new contributors: - define checkpoints (first upload, ready for membership, ready for upload rights, etc.) - find changes in contributor status more easily (went inactive, might be ready, etc.) - bring more regularity in fulfilling our tasks - sync our task of helping contributors to apply with DMB meetings
