14:02:51 <andreasn> #topic Agenda
14:03:13 <dperpeet> * Outreachy
14:03:20 <dperpeet> * testing priorities
14:04:16 <andreasn> sounds good
14:04:19 <andreasn> #topic Outreachy
14:05:04 * stefw notes another topic: Debian packages
14:05:20 <dperpeet> We had several Outreachy applicants this round
14:05:27 <dperpeet> https://outreachy.gnome.org/
14:05:43 <dperpeet> Where we proposed topics as part of Fedora
14:05:59 <andreasn> stefw: lets take that one last
14:06:06 <dperpeet> we had several good submissions, but in the end Outreachy accepted one candidate for our project: bhakti
14:06:14 <dperpeet> so, welcome bhakti
14:06:21 <bhakti> Thank You :)
14:06:24 <dperpeet> do you want to say what you'll be working on?
14:07:55 <bhakti> Yes. So,the current version of Cockpit doesn't have a User interface for Firewall hence I will be working on the design aspects of the Firewall. My first task is to shortlist the requirements and then start research about similar open source projects.
14:08:18 <dperpeet> great, I think this will be good for Cockpit
14:08:53 <dperpeet> for reference, the work will be UX focused
14:09:04 <dperpeet> but I think you also wanted to contribute code, right?
14:09:41 <bhakti> I can try my hand at contributing code too.
14:10:11 <bhakti> But I am not confident about my coding skills as much hence will need to learn a lot.
14:10:53 <dperpeet> bhakti, thanks, I'm sure it will be fine
14:11:06 <dperpeet> this is an opportunity to learn :)
14:11:19 <dperpeet> andreasn will of course be the main UX contact
14:11:24 <andreasn> yup
14:11:52 <andreasn> all right. Next topic?
14:11:52 <dperpeet> great, I'm looking forward to this
14:11:55 <dperpeet> yup
14:11:57 <andreasn> me too!
14:11:58 <bhakti> Awesome :)
14:12:02 <bhakti> Me too!!
14:12:20 <andreasn> #topic testing priorities
14:12:34 <dperpeet> today was another day with a lot of new pull requests (thanks stefw )
14:13:02 <dperpeet> and one thing I have noticed is that when we open a lot of pull requests with similar priorities, they all end up half-tested
14:13:19 <dperpeet> since one pull request will be tested, but then a newer one opens and that is tested
14:13:21 <dperpeet> et cetera
14:13:41 <dperpeet> today we tweaked the priority calculation on the testers somewhat
14:14:04 <dperpeet> so when pull requests have the same priority, the older one is tested first
14:14:20 <dperpeet> this is based purely on the pull request number, not the github "last_updated" info
14:14:33 <stefw> makes sense
14:14:45 <dperpeet> in practice, that means priority pull requests will be worked on FIFO
14:14:49 <dperpeet> not LIFO
14:15:03 <dperpeet> if something is tagged with needswork, blocked, it will still be lower
14:15:36 <dperpeet> numerically we have been using integral priorities, whereas the effect of the pull request id is < 1
14:15:51 <dperpeet> I think this will reflect better what we want to do, but let's keep an eye on it
14:15:53 <dperpeet> thanks :)
14:17:16 <andreasn> ok, next up
14:17:25 <andreasn> #topic Debian Packages
14:18:02 <stefw> We're nearly ready to start packaging in our custom repo for Debian Jessie
14:18:12 <andreasn> nice!
14:18:20 <stefw> I think the pull request for changes to Cockpit and testing could go in today
14:18:39 <stefw> and then i would make changes to our continuous delivery scripts to build cockpit and the debian repo appropriately for both unstable and jessie
14:19:37 <stefw> So that means cockpit 124 would actually be installable on Debian Jessie
14:19:40 <stefw> and also actually work
14:19:48 <stefw> https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5324
14:19:51 <stefw> that's it on that topic
14:20:38 <andreasn> thanks!
14:20:48 <andreasn> I guess that was it!
