Pulse 2024#06
Dates: March 11 – March 25
- We changed configurations of the #ubuntu-release-testing Matrix space. Configured RSS bot permissions in announcement/news rooms, consolidated a few of the chat rooms into a single one, and informed rooms users of the changes.
- We supported the Ubuntu volunteers and Canonical staff at SCaLE 2024 by creating digital assets, flyers, and presentations.
- We organized and hosted 2 sessions for the March Ubuntu Flavor Sync. We also posted a meeting report on the Ubuntu Discourse.
- The results for the wallpaper contest are in! Check out the winners.
- Wallpaper winners and finalists now have their badges. Will you be an Artful Aadvark next time around?
- The community wallpapers have been packaged and are available in ubuntu-wallpapers
- We reviewed retrospective and feedback items for Ubuntu Summit 2023. We selected appropriate priority and action items.
- We created a Web & Design brief for the creation of Ubuntu Summit 2024 assets. This has to take into account the 20Y anniversary, location, and overall branding strategy.
- We created a Web & Design brief to create the Ubuntu Summit landing page. We reviewed with stakeholders, discussed with project managers, and submitted to the Web & Design teams.
- We confirmed that the EA team signed contract with the venue for Ubuntu Summit 2024
- We created a launchpad group for Matrix bot accounts. Ubuntu Members and Canonical staff can request a bot account to be added to this group, so it can use SAML and log on the Ubuntu Matrix homeserver.
- We proposed separate Synapse worker nodes for media management. This will help the Matrix homeserver scalability, preventing media heavy tasks from slowing or affecting the whole Matrix homeserver.
- We tested the snapped IRC bridge with the help of the community. The snap functions well and has feature parity with other implementations of the same bridge: matrix-appservice-irc
- We’ve made sure there is a UI Freeze Exception for flavor wallpaper updates, as the logo assets werent previously available.
- There has been a new flavor sync meeting! Check discourse for the meeting notes.
- Following the staff badge changes on discourse.ubuntu.com, we’ve had some internal discussions to see if there is a better fit.
- The Ubuntu Africa community is sponsoring an event, we supported them with some logo usage guidelines.
- The mastodon instance ubuntu.social will be hosted by Canonical. We’re working out parts of the transition.
