Planning session for the Terminal Core app

What features and capabilities are required to be in Unity 8 before it can replace Unity 7 as the default desktop environment in Ubuntu.

This is a free-form catch-all kinds of session. Bring up whatever snappy-related topic you have, we'll talk about it here.

Discuss how to improve gsettings security for applications running within the same user context. For example, if application 'foo' is installed from extras, how can we: * allow it to have write access to only its settings? * prevent it from having read access for 'bar'? What other scenarios should be handled? Should this be integrated with AppArmor and if so, what would it look like?

A quick demo of the sosreport tool used by Canonical support to help troubleshoot customers issues. Upstream: https://github.com/sosreport/sos/ In Ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=sosreport&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all PPA: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-support/+archive/ubuntu/support-tools

The help app is off to a good start, but we have a number of bugs to fix. Let's make a plan together!

Q&A Session for developers or prospective developers to get their questions answered about scopes.

Randall Ross' update on POWER and Ubuntu

Add the following new pool capacity metrics to ceilometer. 1. storage_pool.total 2. storage_pool.free These metrics are already collected periodically by the cinder drivers. The proposal is to send these to ceilometer notification agent for alerting and reporting. This allows the openstack admin to monitor pool capacity and get alerted in time before the pool gets full, which can cause a lot of problems especially with thin provisioning and overcommitment.

Review Core Apps and 3rd party apps that will work well across phones, tablets and desktops. Identify missing features that would improve the convergence experience. Pick which apps to include in the default snappy desktop image.

In this session we'd like to discuss: 1) framework definition 2) framework packaging 3) schroot as single point of failure and alternatives

dpkg_offline (https://launchpad.net/dpkg-offline/) is a tool to create a tarball containing all the .deb dependencies for a package for offline installation. It assumes the target system is a clean installation from a particular .iso and collects and packages all dependencies needed to install a given set of packages. The resulting bundle can be installed as a local apt repository in the target system and standard apt tools and semantics can be used to install the desired packages. It supports public and private PPAs and can bundle arbitrary local or remote .debs even if they're not fetched from a PPA or .deb archive.

Discussion session about apps, core apps and scopes.

In this session we will deploy a relatively complex web application (Reddit) onto a cloud and scale it up and down as an example of how to use ubuntu's tools to solve orchestration problems.

Rally should contain basic scenarios for testing firewall-as-a-service. That way we can scale on the number of firewall rules, firewall policies, firewall policies and firewalls and benchmark it.

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss different plans and ideas to bring new contributors to the many different teams, since Lubuntu lacks of regular contributors. How to motivate them and how to keep them motivated is the key of the discussion, in this round-table session. We then invite all team-leaders to join us and help us perfect this plan. The Admin team has also came up with some suggestions that would benefit all distributions, although we need to first, perfect our plan before introducing it to other people outside Lubuntu. This is an attempt to gather resources and knowledge to empower the Open Source world. We also want to use this session to plan LxQt, what we want to bring to Lubuntu 15.10, to discuss the need to find a communications manager, as well as a community manager and some other important topics that may arise.

The webbrowser-app needs a set of features and layout changes to be optimized for desktop and converged use cases.

The next Ubuntu LTS release (16.04 LTS) will use GCC 5 as the standard compiler (and likely GCC 6 as the standard for go). We do not want to change the default compiler during the six months leading to the LTS, so we will make the switch to GCC 5 for 15.10. Besides fixing the usual build failures (around 350), GCC 5 introduces an new libstdc++ ABI which makes it difficult to combine code built with the new and the old ABI. The ABI break is not in libstdc++ itself, but then in libraries using the libstdc++ ABI.

Video and discussion of the current state of Unity 8 when used on a desktop.

Ubuntu's CEO Jane Silber will be taking to the airwaves to answer all of the questions from community members about Ubuntu, Canonical, Open Source and more!

The Ubuntu Component Store allows app developers to install pre-built reusable components with a simple "ucs install" command. What we'd like to see happen is a large library of useful QML and binary components build up for Ubuntu app development, similarly to how that's happened for Python or Node.js or Ruby. Need your QML app to be able to run a shell command, or process images, or use Python, or include a well-written existing QML component? Simply "ucs install" it; no C++ or Makefiles required. And if you've written a reusable thing, add it to the Ubuntu Component Store and then everyone can make use of it. Here we'll talk about what's already done for UCS and how to encourage people to contribute components to it, to start that ball rolling.

Tasks for implementing features and fixes through the 15.10 release, including finishing the "reboot" series initial release

This blueprint is for Ubuntu Women 15.10 cycle.

Learn where to get the Unity 8 code and build dependencies, setup your local development environment, build and run Unity 8. Get an overview of the code layout, how to make changes and submit them in a merge proposal.

With https://developer.ubuntu.com/snappy we're off to a good start, but let's make the docs *real* good!

Tasks for implementing features and fixes through the 15.10 release

In this session we'll be fielding user questions on how to use Juju and write and deploy Juju charms.
