== Brainstorming and discussion == === Development === * Increase the amount of developers/uploaders * [skellat] Pursue full packageset permissions or only package-specific permissions * GTK3 indicator support * Patch indicators to support Xfce components as indicator-sound does (e.g. indicator-power, indicator-datetime, session-menu etc.) * New applications in the repositories/seed: [[http://launchpad.net/menulibre|MenuLibre]], [[http://launchpad.net/mugshot|Mugshot]] * [skellat] Anything else that can be cherry-picked from Debian? * (noskcaj) Certain 4.11 components are going to land in Experimental instead of Unstable which will block them making it into Testing for autosync * (micahg) We will only take the 4.11 components that support the GTK 3 indicator stack or the ones that were previously approved as minimal risk and desired, anything else needs to wait as we don't want to be stuck with a hodge podge of unsupportable stuff for the LTS * Status/Health Check with Xfce as to 4.12. Landing for LTS or not? * Working locking with light-locker (get rid of xscreensaver for good) * [unit193] Create a new installable "xubuntu-core" metapackage via adding to the seed configuration file found under https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-seeds once the T seeds are created by Colin Watson * [skellat] Do we want this solely as a metapackage or do we want to generate a downloadable image with product manifest too? * Investigate xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin * For general information, check [[http://gottcode.wordpress.com/category/open-source/whisker-menu/|the developer's blog]] or this [[http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Whisker_Menu|wiki]] (in german) * Investigate if we can still get python3 only on the iso * See/ask if we can apply GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Xubuntu * Support Xfce with finishing/releasing 4.12 * Consider including xfdesktop4.11 (is already to be found in the xubuntu-dev 4.12 PPA) * Consider dropping the bottom launcher panel in lieu of e.g. whiskermenu === Artwork, community, marketing, website... === * Community wallpapers package * Finalize and publish the website theme refresh * Update Wikipedia and other major sites with relevant/up-to-date information * Communicate more towards users; more blog articles by the team members and guest writers * Better social media presence (more administrators per outlet?) * Contact the reddit.com/r/xubuntu admins * Separate process-related stuff from Strategy Document * Do we want to promote 64-bit images by default? * https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2013-September/002539.html * Improve reporting * Weekly reports for the release team and monthly team reports * Ways to make reporting and gathering reports easier? (lderan: meetingology fixes) * https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2012-December/002115.html === Documentation === * Keep documentation up-to-date with new applications * Expand documentation? * [skellat] Include section on signing Ubuntu Code of Conduct * [skellat] Look at what can be adapted from Ubuntu Manual for re-use * Cooperate further with Ubuntu Documentation Project umbrella organization === QA === * Automated testing * Image testing - aimed at first 'milestone' * Package testing - what apps do we want testing at a minumum, (anyone in 'team' that can move that on) * Manual testing * Images - dependent on automated; at least for milestone testing (including upgrade tests) * Packages - base on general cadence testing? roll our own? (if the latter then input from all needed) * Change to post install tests - new tests to replace current - new software post-install and new hardware post-install * New apps etc. (indicators for instance) testing - information needed for people to install to test. Sufficient time to allow for testing. * Use social media outlets to call for testing in addition to -devel list (- also include the -user list at milestones). How much leadtime to get that out onto social media - who to ping. * Use xubuntu.org for more QA blog articles. Especially just prior to milestone testing * http://pad.ubuntu.com/SdHxBbkLTO === New Ideas === * Investigate xfce4-power-manager-plugins for inclussion. * Investigate [[http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/plain/src/utils/qpaeq |qpaeq]] a system wide pulseaudio equalizer (something that Ubuntustudio might be interested as well?) [[http://www.webupd8.org/2013/03/install-pulseaudio-with-built-in-system.html|relevant link]] * Update the minimum recommended amount of ram to 1GB. [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GridCube/rationales/new_ram|rationale]] * Investigate integrating Ubuntu One file syncing by default * [[http://askubuntu.com/questions/15710/ubuntu-one-for-xfce-or-xubuntu]]
