snaps
- Started the snap store test plan. I need to update the testplan for the
latest/stable/ubuntu-22.04branch. While filling this out, I filed a few snap-store bugs: - Filed upstream Firefox snap bug about save pop-up window. This exists in the Chromium snap too so it may be a gnome-shell issue and Daniel pointed me to known LP#1949340. Also verified the issue does not exist in the Firefox deb.
- Tried to setup a Fedora vm but 1) in virt manager, it doesn’t seem to recognize the hard drive storage disk I’ve created for it and 2) in boxes it wont let me load the iso - i asked on ~Desktop in case anyone else knows but got no answer. I still need to reach out to the gnome-boxes channel on matrix for help. UPDATE: The snap is broken, flatpak works
- Filed mattermost-desktop snap bug that bites me every now and then. Not reproducible but annoying. I wonder if others use this snap and have seen it before.
Event Organizing
- LAS: Working with freedesktop.org on mailman issues regarding mailing list. Felipe Borges submit a bid to hold LAS 2023 (from my lightning talk at GUADEC!) in Brno but the mail keeps getting dropped
- Ubuntu Summit: Created CFP proposal
- Worked with @kewisch to create a kudoboard for Monica (link removed). Thanks for the help and idea!
Content Creation
- Calling all Themes two blog posts. I’ve stayed on top of addressing all comments from @jamesh , @local-optimum, and Gloria Manzanares. We’re nearly there… just a couple of changes to make this week and then Oli will post the “Snapd Desktop Integration” on ubuntu.com and the tutorial on discourse when he’s back from holiday. In this work, I found a snapd-desktop-integration bug.
- Setup August Indaba topic on discourse.
- In email, I lined up September Indaba topic on core22/snapcraft7/core desktop for Sept 23. Need to finalize with discourse post announcement and final lineup of attendees (Claudio and Sergio, maybe Callahan and someone for core desktop (Oli?))
- Looking to line up release process as the topic for October 28. Need to ping some folks to make sure Oct 28 would work.
Misc
- Meet and Greet training with Emily Tu. I had no idea this existed and it would have been really helpful a year ago when I started doing it. Still, spread the word with the desktop team and Callahan, in case they find the slides useful
- Got handed some accessibility items from Monica, joined the Accessibility Guild to represent the Desktop needs there. Attended my first meeting and I have some investigation to do on getting
brlttyseeded on the ISO and look into speech to text libraries seeded as well. We need blind and deaf users to be able to install Ubuntu. - Circle Committee - provided thorough review of the circle app criteria in our private matrix channel.
- Sort of ran the team meeting - it was all about celebrating Monica’s time. I forgot to press record though
- Thorough review of @till-kamppeter’s most recent OpenPrinting Post and pointed out ~70 changes to make. Great post!
