Local MeeGo Networks

2011-07-06T10:06:44Z

Andreeams: /* Romania */

Local MeeGo Networks organize face to face meetings and other activities on the real ground. They bring what no online social network can provide: real handshakes, real kudos, real applause, real face to face chat. They are free as in beer and you might even get some real drinks for free as well!

== Calendar ==
The local events can be found at [http://meego.com/community/events events] with the prefix [LMN].

== The Monthly Meetup ==

Local MeeGo Networks keep a routine of monthly meetups open to everybody combined with activities focused on specific audiences.

For the monthly meetups there is a common framework:
* Short Welcome: announcements and applause to the meetup host.
* Up to 5 lightning sessions of 5 minutes each: demos, intros, insights... Low-tech or No-tech is welcome.
* Applause. ;) Next meeting announcement. More applause.
* Plenty of time just to chat and have a good time. If possible, find a sponsor for local drinks and food.

We encourage the local networks to improve the formula and adapt it to the local taste. Remember to contribute your improvements to this page!

== A Summit ==

* Guidelines and Tips for organizing a [[Local_MeeGo_Networks/Regional_MeeGo_Summits|Regional Summit]]

== Other activities ==

Local MeeGo Networks are encouraged to organize specific activities according to the local agenda and the community needs. Some ideas:

* Peer training.
* Install party.
* MeeGo localization sprint.
* Promotion in a local [[Events|event]].
* Full presentation of a product or project.
* Session starring a special guest.
* Joining/following other, related events (conferences, summits, etc)
* Group coordinators are requested to become [[MeeGo_Greeters|MeeGo Greeters]] as well
* Team-building.
* [[Local_MeeGo_Networks/Meetup_Tour|Meetup Tour]] (Work in progress)
* Your idea here.

== Starting a new network ==

'''Starting is simple''': find 4 MeeGo peers and organize a dinner or a social meetup once a month. That's it. If things deserve to grow they will grow.
* Tips for [[Local_MeeGo_Networks/How_To_Get_Started|Getting Started]]

=== Listing new candidate networks ===

If you are in the process of creating a new network advertising your intentions will only help. Start a new thread at the [http://forum.meego.com/forumdisplay.php?f=5 Community Matters forum] and list it above following this example:

* [http://forum.meego.com/your-thread City or Region] (CANDIDATE)

The forum thread starter can be really simple. Please add any info relevant to the locals. Non-English speakers: after the intro in English consider adding a translation in your local language, and feel free continuing the discussion in the language(s) you prefer:

'''Title:''' ''$PLACE MeeGo Network''

'''Body:''' ''Hi, there is an interest in creating a Local MeeGo Network at $PLACE. If you are interested please answer here. The first goal is to get 5 aMeeGos in order to consider the group formally created. See http://wiki.meego.com/Local_MeeGo_Networks''

=== Once you are 5 aMeeGos ===

Next steps once you have reached the critical mass:

# Find a date and a place for a first monthly meetup.
# Find 4 more peers confirming to attend.
# Choose the right tool to organize the network.
# Publish your network including a link to this page.
# Link your network from this page.
# Add your events to http://meego.com/community/events with the prefix [LMN]

Done!

== Tools for meetups ==
Choose the tool that will work better in your own context. You can go for a wiki page + forum thread, you can use a specialized tool or you can do something else. If a certain social network is very popular in your area consider that. Just make it easy for others to join the network and get involved.

The tools currently used are:

* [http://meetup.com Meetup] - All-in-one solution, popular at least in some parts of the US. Requires a small monthly fee. You are encouraged to find a local sponsor but the MeeGo project can subsidize the first 6 months if your proposal is convincing.
* [http://www.linkedin.com/groupsDirectory LinkedIn Groups] - "LinkedIn Groups can help you stay informed and keep in touch with people that share your interests" (from LinkedIn Groups page)
* [http://groups.google.com/ Google Groups]
* [http://www.facebook.com/groups/ Facebook Groups] - "Share, chat, and email with small groups of friends"
* [http://twitter.com/meegocom/local-meego-networks Twitter accounts] for promotion and outreach. In order to be listed by [http://twitter.com/meegocom @meegocom] you need to stay on topic and avoid purely personal tweets. Requests are made by reopening [http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12265 this bug].

SDK/QA

2011-03-29T11:28:00Z

Andreeams: /* Meeting Minutes */

= MeeGo SDK QA Team =

The MeeGo SDK QA Team is responsible of MeeGo platform SDK Quality. QA members focus on different components, host and target platforms, but we maintain all the test cases in the same testlink website, file bugs to MeeGo bugzilla SDK project, post testing report to MeeGo quality WiKi page. The synchronization among QA members is ensured by weekly SDK QA meeting, IRC and mail.

== Team ==

* Jaya Uppalapati -- QA leader, focus on Nokia legacy components, ARM based platform and features
* Juha Peisanen -- QA owner, focus on Nokia legacy components, ARM based platform and features
* Arcadie Prepelita -- QA owner, focus on X86 based platform and features
* Ionut Gavaz -- QA leader focus on X86 based platform and features

== Process ==

===Bug Triage===

For bug triage process of MeeGo, please refer to [[Quality/Bugtriage]]. SDK team members should register bug triage mailing list: meego-bug-triage@linux.intel.com. Register @ http://linux.intel.com/mailman/listinfo/meego-bug-triage.

Teams for bug triage:
* Bug triage team: Juha Peisanen (Nokia) Daniel Mihai (Intel), Fathi Boudra(Nokia), Jackie Wu(Intel), Max Yu (Intel)
* Bug management team: Veli Kaksonen (Nokia), Bob Spencer(Intel), Kerry Jiang (Intel), Arcadie Prepelita(Intel)

Bug triage process:
* Bug triage team review all the new bugs for the priority, severity, assignee and description every week.
* After review, bug triage team send out the review request to "bug triage mailing list" every Monday and request management team provide feedback on bugs
* Management team review the bugs in '''1 business day''' and decide if accept these new bugs. Bug owners should accept the bugs for her/him in '''1 business day'''. Anyone in triage mailing list can speak out with your opinion for any bug. If a bug is accepted, the bug status should be changed to "ASSIGNED" and right "target build" is set by bug owner.
* If there are controversial bugs, Management Team should drive to go through them in next sync meeting and make decision in the meeting.

===Bugzilla workflow===

The default assignee of a newly introduced bug must set the bug to ASSIGNED in '''1 business day''' if she/he is not on leave. In case he is not the one to solve the bug, he must pass the bug to another person leaving the status unchanged in '''1 business day''' if she/he is not on leave.

Developer needs to set bug to ASSIGNED even if he won't start working at the bug right away. The ASSIGNED state is just an indication that the bug has reached the person/persons that should take care and fix it; bugs should have a short life in the NEW state.
In case a bug remains in NEW state for longer than '''1 week''', QA must take action to search and notice the right persons; maybe the bug was misplaced?
The recommended way of asking for describing anything that is related with the bug is by commenting in bugzilla rather than email or chat; this way other people can see all information related to the problem in one place

One unwanted situation is when bugs are in NEW and nobody has ever commented on it for a long time. Feedback is important to the QA, even for INVALID or DUPLICATE bugs in order to improve the QA process for the future and to help any other viewer that might run into the same bug later.
Another situation to be avoided is when developer works on fixing bugs based on his own preferences, for instance avoid writing for bugs for documentation. This will contribute to an overall reduced quality process.

Once the release is about to take place the QA should release an acceptance document enlisting the last versions of the builds tested, overall status of the product (GREEN/YELLOW/RED) and some of the major bugs. RED should mean that the build is not ready for release from QA POV.

== Test Plan ==
You can find uniform MeeGo SDK test plan @ [[SDKTestPlan|SDK Test Plan]]

Andreeams: /* Table */

This page will be used for managing custom Meegon requests, and replaces the [http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=1134 forum thread].

= General =

Meegon creation is a purely volunteer effort. For the most part, requests are fulfilled on a first-come, first-serve basis (exceptions made for special events and circumstances).

Note that volunteers do this on their own time and may have other projects (and possibly even a real life) going, so please be patient after making a request!

= Table Legend =

Legend is as follows:

* '''Requester''' = requester's '''forum''' account name (not wiki account name)
* '''Description''' = description of Meegon (see forum thread)
* '''Greeter?''' = joining or current member of [[MeeGo_Greeters|MeeGo Greeters]]
* '''Artist''' = volunteer artist (forum name)
* '''Status''' = avatar work status (Started/Completed)
* '''Files''' = links to avatar files (use wiki for hosting)

= Requests =

== Inputs ==

=== Description field ===

* preferred colors (see [[MeeGo_Style_Guide#MeeGo_Colour_Palette|default palette]], although more can be used)
* facing direction (default is left for MeeGo Greeters)
* based on existing characters? if so, which?
* props (guitar? yo-yo? flowers? batleth?)
* facial expression

MeeGo Greeters

2011-03-24T15:48:12Z

Andreeams: /* Multilingual Approach */

This is a voluntary initiative by members of the MeeGo community, designed to leverage the strength of forum (and even email) signatures to spread links to helpful MeeGo community resources.

==Welcome to the MeeGo Greeters Page!==

[[File:Meego_greeter1.png]]

Greeters here at MeeGo.com can be recognized by their distinctive (often multilingual) signatures within which are several useful links for the newcomer/beginner/curious. If you're new or curious, feel free to click through those links.

As well, Greeters are encouraged (but not expected) to perform typical help desk activities in the [http://forum.meego.com/index.php MeeGo Forum].

Some notes for potential greeters:

* This program is strictly voluntary
* There is no official status conferred by this "title"
* There are no offers or guarantees of any reward (but you never know)
* There are currently no plans for formal scoring of participation
* Try to remain courteous at all times

Notes for newcomers:

* Please Thank any post that assists you, directly or indirectly
* Keep in mind that every Greeter is a volunteer
* Feel free to suggest ideas to any Greeter

It is expected that Greeter participation will result in Thanks from those who directly benefit, as well as anyone appreciative of the effort.

==The Concept==

By including links to helpful resources in post signatures, Greeters provide an extremely easy yet effective way of spreading access to knowledge. No technical expertise is required, no further engagement necessary. Just identify yourself as a MeeGo Greeter, include pointers to knowledge centers, and provide a useful service just by posting in the Forum!

Any member can volunteer for this activity, and it can be implemented by simply using the following (or similar) for your posting signature:

Hi, I'm a [http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_Greeters MeeGo Greeter]! Welcome to the world of MeeGo!

Useful links: [http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=3 Members say Hello] | [http://meego.com/about/contribution-guidelines How to contribute to MeeGo] |
[[MeeGo_FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)]] | [[Community_communication|Community Communication]] |
[[Community_guidelines|Community Guidelines]] | [[Glossary|Glossary]] | [[Developers|Developer's Guide]]

If I can help with anything else, just ask!

Actual code for Forum use based on example above:

<nowiki>[ URL = "http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=3"]Members say Hello[ /URL]
[ URL = "http://meego.com/about/contribution-guidelines"]How to contribute to MeeGo[ /URL]
[ URL = "http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_FAQ"]MeeGo FAQ[ /URL]
[ URL = "http://wiki.meego.com/Community_communication"]Community Communication[ /URL]
[ URL = "http://wiki.meego.com/Community_guidelines"]Community Guidelines[ /URL]
[ URL = "http://wiki.meego.com/Glossary"]Glossary[ /URL]
[ URL = "http://wiki.meego.com/Developers]Developer's Guide"][ /URL]</nowiki>

It's understood that it may be impractical to include every resource in each signature. Use your best judgment and include those that you personally feel are the most important. It's understood and encouraged that Greeters will come from diverse backgrounds and focus on different ways of helping.

'''NOTE: Please, remove extra spaces from [URL] tags. Spaces in examples above are just to avoid parsing by Wiki engine.'''

==Forum Group==

MeeGo Greeters is an official forum group! All Greeters are encouraged to sign up, and make MeeGo Greeter their default identity if they choose. Request membership here: http://forum.meego.com/profile.php?do=editusergroups

==Reference Materials==

MeeGo Greeters lightning talk held at MeeGo Conference 2010: [[File:MeeGo_Greeters.pdf]]

==Multilingual Approach==

English is the default language for Meego.com. However, some readers may feel more accepted if they are welcomed in their own language. To that end, Greeters are strongly encouraged to create signatures in their native language. The result can be entirely in a non-English language or as a combination of one or more. Remember, the example signature shown on this page is a suggestion; feel free to customize yours for your particular audience!

===English===
Hi! I'm a MeeGo Greeter!

===Polish===
Cześć! Witam w świecie MeeGo!

===Spanish===
¡Hola y bienvenido al mundo MeeGo!

===Italian===
Ciao! Benvenuto nel mondo di MeeGo!

===French===
Bonjour et bienvenue dans le monde merveilleux de Meego!

===Arabic===
مرحبا!, انا مرحب بميجو

===Romanian===
Bine ai venit în lumea MeeGo!

(''please contribute more''!)

== List of Greeters ==

(Note - if you want to be a Greeter, see below and feel free to add your name (linked to your '''forum''' profile) to this list. If you coordinate or support a local, regional or national network group, feel free to add it as well!)
