This proposal is about enabling the community to create open applications and share them through a channel that is hosted in meego.com.

=== Scope of this proposal ===

This proposal is about community built open applications that would be shared through meego.com. The proposal mainly outlines what services need to be set up for supporting application sharing through meego.com.

This proposal is not about platform development.

The technical parts of this proposal relate to the official MeeGo build and repositories so, that the community build and repository infrastructure load packages form the official side, but do not upload to them.

=== What are the parts that the community application infrastructure consists of ===

* Web front end for developers to upload their applications to
Later there can be a direct 'upload to service' function in the MeeGo application development IDE.
* Build server (OBS server), needed for building the applications
* Repository server, for storing the applications and catering them to the end users
* The logic for running the build and repository servers
* End user clients, for the end users of MeeGo devices to get the applications with
* A web front end to the repository, so that the application lists can also be browsed on the net
* Quality assurance process, initially this most likely will be human testing, but automated tools would make it much faster and simpler

=== Technical resources and how to start ===

* The people to implement all the above mentioned parts

* Servers for the system
Some servers have been ordered, and one could

== Process ==

'''PROPOSAL'''

=== Meetings ===

[[Community Working Group Meeting]] logistics for regular weekly (or bi-weekly) meetings for the CWG. Specific meeting details are still TBD.

The purpose of this meeting is to coordinate tasks by moving proposed tasks to committed tasks with clear owners and prioritization. We hope that this meeting will make it easier for us to get more organized about how we accomplish work in the CWG, and avoid the duplicated / wasted effort that we have been seeing at least in these early days of the project while we merge the two communities.

=== Tasks ===

Work and tasks will be broken down into '''Committed Tasks''' and '''Proposed Tasks'''.

Committed tasks will have a clear owner and have been approved in a [[Community Working Group Meeting]]. The list of committed tasks may also include prioritization to make sure that we are working actively on the most important tasks.

Proposed tasks includes all other work that we would someday like to do, but that has not yet been approved by the CWG. If you have a proposed topic that you are ready to start working on, please put together a proposal and request a spot on an upcoming [[Community Working Group Meeting]] agenda.

==== Committed Tasks ====

Metrics

2010-03-10T18:47:40Z

Tekojo: Server error metrics

Having good metrics and reporting is important for any community. We'll use this page to start to build out a plan for gathering the right metrics that we can use to report on the health of the community.

== Metrics to capture ==

* Software packaging
** New packages added to repository
** Updates to existing packages
** Number of developers/maintainers uploading packages
* Server performance metrics
** Server use levels
** Network bandwidth
** Downtime and error reports
* bugzilla reports (Intel has some of this already from Moblin that we can re-use).
** New bug reports
** Fixed bug reports
** Unfixed closed bugreports (dups, not a bug, etc)
** Upstreamed bug reports (MeeGo bug matched with upstream bug report)
* various open source aspects
** Activity of Intel & Nokia developers vs activity of "NIN" (Not Intel/Nokia) developers
** Number of NIN committers, number of MeeGo specific modules with NIN committers.
** Not sure what you might want to quantitatively measure here - qualitative is hard to automate. See Siobhan O'Mahony's reports for Eclipse & various Eclipse Foundation reports for inspiration [[User:Dneary|Dneary]] 10:00, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
* membership / user accounts
** member satisfaction
** member recognition
** Not sure what you might want to quantitatively measure here - qualitative is hard to automate. [[User:Dneary|Dneary]] 10:00, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
* mailing list subscriptions / participation
** Number of subscribers
** New subscriptions
** Departing subscribers
* contributor activity
** Wiki edits
** Talk posts
** Mailing list posts
** Code commits
** Bugzilla comments, bugs opened, bugs closed
* Monitoring (not exactly metrics, but related)
** Tracking press / blog / analyst mentions (more qualitative data)
** Dawn is working with Intel to get access to Radian6 for this data and plan to publish the output to the community.

== Points to consider ==

* Reporting solution
** [http://www.slideshare.net/OpenLogic/open-source-reporting-tool-comparison A comparison of open source solutions]
* Report sharing methods
** Dashboard(s) for ongoing data reports (server health, member stats, bugs, app stats, etc) --[[User:Texrat|Texrat]] 18:15, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
** Voluntary subscriptions (ie, RSS) for periodic public reports --[[User:Texrat|Texrat]] 18:16, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
* Public vs Private data

Community website meeting 2010 2 24

2010-02-24T19:38:00Z

Tekojo: /* Actions to be taken */

=== Reason for the meeting ===

We need to see what services MeeGo.com needs to run, to be a good home to the MeeGo community. To get the ball rolling we need to see who can do what.

The outcome of this meeting should be an ordered list of things that need to be done to the site and an understanding who can and will do those things.

=== Time and place ===

Time: [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=24&month=2&year=2010&hour=20&min=0&sec=0&p1=0Wednesday 2010-2-24 20:00 (UTC)]

Place: Freenode.net irc channel #meego-meeting

=== Topics to be covered ===

1. List of current, ongoing and potential web services + people with current responsibilities in each service or volunteering to be involved.
Yes, this can be started already now in the wiki. The more complete the list is before the meeting the less time we need to spend there.

2. Project priorities. What are the services more relevant for MeeGo now, and in which order do we want to prioritize them?

3. Objective of MeeGo community? (-Amby)

=== Decisions ===

*

=== List of services on MeeGo.com ===

At this point first thing is to decide what the services are, and who the people who will take then further are.

Service / persons volunteering
* Blogs on site /
* Blog aggregation /
* Forums /
* Garage /
* Bugzilla /
* Wiki /

== Open issues ==

(suggested to keep a list for open issues, where the solution actions are not fully defined - Amby)

The role of MeeGo working groups are explained at http://meego.com/about/governance

This is a request to the Technical Steering Group to approve the creation of a Community working group. There is no procedure defined but we can can improvise with some common sense.

To discuss and plan the MeeGo community, subscribe to the MeeGo community mailing list: http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community. You can also subscribe from your account page on meego.com.

There is an upcoming meeting on http://meego.com/community/irc-channel as well. The scheduled time is Wednesday, February 24th 2010 at 20:00 UTC. Please note that the channel chosen for this meeting is #meego-meeting. An agenda for the meeting is here: [http://wiki.meego.com/Community_website_meeting_2010_2_24 meeting agenda]

=== Mission ===
The Community working group defines the strategy for collaboration tools and processes within the MeeGo project, and observes its implementation.

=== Areas ===
The main areas within the scope of the working group are (in no particular order):

* '''Maemo/Moblin transition''': bringing the best from maemo.org and moblin.org to meego.com (urgent now, until the mission here is fulfilled).
* '''Web administration''': server maintenance, team of admins and other users with special permissions.
* '''Platform infrastructure''': selection and administration of online tools for collaborative software development: build infrastructure, code repositories, bugzilla, localization...
* '''Community infrastructure''': selection and administration of online tools for non-technical community collaboration: planet, wiki, forum, brainstorm, downloads...
* '''Community marketing''': merchandising, events, evangelism...

Packaging

2010-02-19T06:55:00Z

Tekojo: Removed RPM vs. Deb part, what is necessary is said in the first section of this page. If you want to discuss use the discussion pages

= Creating Packages for MeeGo =

The build infrastructure is not announced yet, so information here is speculative.

What is known:

*The package format used by MeeGo is RPM.

* MeeGo build tools and Infrastructure will probably derive from Moblin's (see [http://moblin.org/documentation/moblin-distro-developers-guide/moblin-infrastructure] and [http://moblin.org/documentation/moblin-distro-developers-guide/build-system]) with hopefully better support for ARM targets.

* MeeGo uses [[Build_System| openSUSE Build Services (OBS)]].

= Upstream =

As Maemo has had an old version of Debian as an upstream distribution, there have been lots of questions on what will be MeeGo's upstream, and why Maemo's relationship with Debian will be dropped. The answer is that MeeGo is an independent distribution : the only upstream is the projects included into MeeGo such as : kernel.org, X.org, Qt, etc. MeeGo policy is to push all bug fixes to upstream projects.

Why not be Debian-based ? Having an upstream distribution has advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages : you benefit from all the packaging, QA and maintenance done in the upstream distribution, thus there is a large selection of available ported software.
Disadvantages : you have to align your build infrastructure with your upstream. You are dependent on the release cycle and architecture choices of upstream.

The choice is to have no upstream for MeeGo. It makes it easier to tailor MeeGo for its target devices, which is quite specific compared to Debian's. Maybe the Debian rhythm of updates would also be inadequate for MeeGo (smartphone OSs are currently evolving at a very rapid pace, but there is more up-to-date Ubuntu and Debian is working on more frequent updates). The Moblin build tools would also not have been compatible with Debian as upstream (this is mostly nonsense, see Mer and OBS). Nonetheless MeeGo will be Linux Standard Base (LSB) compliant and its specific components will probably be available in Debian at some point.

Could this page be moved to another location?
Right now if I come and read the wiki, it says:
Developer documentation
- Packing

So I think to myself: "great, this will tell me how to package my app for Meego"
Which the page doesn't.
