Open Source Meeting/Agenda

Open source meeting - Thursday, 2pm PT.

Teleport to the Linden Open Source Project headquarters.

Please try to add your items as early as possible in the week to give Merov a chance to round up any Lindens that may be appropriate to the discussion. Please also bring large or contentious items up on OpenSource-Dev before or concurrently with adding them as agenda items.

Agenda Thursday, 04 March 2010

1. Weekly Snowglobe update - Merov Linden
2. Finalize 1.3
   • outstanding bugs?
   • test sprint required?
   • RC2 ready to be the release?
3. SNOW-495: create a BINDIST CMake variable for producing (hopefully) legally distributable binaries
   • Not answered at last meeting: Could we get LL's legal department to cooperate on this one, so we can minimize the guessing on what the required steps are?
4. Snowglobe 1.4: bug triaged in the community, tree's open, commits coming?
   • "commits coming?": looks like not anymore ...
5. Snowglobe 2.0: what the heck was Merov doing?
   • Snowglobe 2.0 Source code issues, many with patches (see SNOW 2.0 Source Code issues on pJIRA)
   • How to handle ports from Snowglobe 1.x to 2.0?
     • For now, we've opened separate issues, so status can be tracked independently. (We don't want to mess up the 1.x release process by reopening stuff that is and stays fixed in 1.x)
     • Should we still include the original issue IDs in contributions.txt, so that diff can be used to see what still needs to be ported?
6. What is the official answer about source drops for non-Snowglobe 2.x? (Yes/Later/No) --Thickbrick
   • Answers so far were too vague (Howard Look's email)
   • If the answer to 6. above is "No," where does it leave us WRT:
     • Making sweeping changes in Snowglobe (e.g. UI changes diverging from LL decisions, infrastructure changes, etc.)?
     • Upstream diverging from Snowglobe. Likely, unlikely?

Test Sprint

What to do in RC Test Sprints (template, should move to a different wiki page):

• All participants to download the same build, hopefully on a variety of platforms
• Regress bugs and features fixed in cycle
• Test outstanding bugs: narrow them down then we can decide to make them showstoppers or punt to future.
• Pass the regular list of tests:
  • Preview Smoke Test
  • User Interface Smoke Test
  • Newbie_Test
  • Preferences and General UI
  • Building_Tools_Test
  • Media Plugin Test

Default agenda

(after agenda above):

• Update from the Lindens (standing item) - Merov Linden
• SNOW project, unresolved
• VWR project: Affects version: "Snowglobe Test Builds"
• Triage of "Source Code" issues
