I like it 15:04:17 but I didn't think about your nice organisation 15:04:18 hiro: i saw, i will get there too 15:04:45 once we close ticket on trac we should move it to 'closed' column 15:05:01 yes! 15:05:06 for our roadmap, i am creating milestones for each month 15:05:20 so we can also view it as a per month timeline 15:05:22 kindof 15:05:33 not only as a big list on backlog column 15:05:35 oooo fancy 15:05:36 * hiro likes it 15:05:42 *_______* 15:05:45 hahahaha 15:05:47 so! 15:05:51 i have a few questions for hiro 15:05:56 yes I saw the pad 15:05:59 hehe 15:06:00 oh 15:06:02 not on the pad 15:06:03 :) 15:06:04 ah ok 15:06:05 other questions 15:06:06 more questions 15:06:09 yes 15:06:09 haha 15:06:26 i want to automate a bit trac tickets + gitlab issues sync 15:06:41 :fire_emoji: 15:06:47 i am not sure yet how i want to do that, like what would trigger syncronization 15:06:53 but one thing i think would save us time 15:06:53 network peeps told be a few ideas and I looked a few things up :P 15:07:02 * hiro works in the dark 15:07:10 is for every ticket with ux-team keyword on trac an issue is created on gitlab 15:07:13 * antonela dark purple 15:07:22 the problem there is 'under what project on gitlab' question 15:07:34 hiro: ah great 15:07:57 isabela 15:08:02 we can use keywords from trac tickets 15:08:19 if no keywords are used it goes to the board in a specifc column 15:08:29 ux board that is 15:08:55 so, for every ticket with ux-team keyword on trac i can automatically create a ticket for ux 'backlog' column 15:08:58 ? 15:09:10 then we will organize it to the right milestone etc 15:09:13 yes or a specifc column we create on that board (like untracked) 15:09:13 yes 15:09:23 i would prefer backlog 15:09:25 or from-trac 15:09:30 sure sounds good to me 15:09:51 ok, i will continue organizing this and do the same for the tickets from services too 15:09:57 or infra 15:09:59 is this something only for ux? 15:10:08 or more people will use this? 15:10:12 i think we will have different rules per team 15:10:22 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=merge_ready&status=needs_information&status=needs_review&status=needs_revision&status=new&status=reopened&keywords=~ux-team&max=300&order=priority 15:10:27 but for now i believe only ux and infra 15:10:28 because we can either script this or use something like https://github.com/huginn/huginn 15:10:31 it could be the query for our tickets 15:11:11 that's an app that you host and works like if-this-then-that 15:11:21 ha 15:11:25 yes 15:11:33 and like there are different people that could use it 15:11:45 sounds good 15:12:04 also if for example you want to monitor reddit or stackoverflow if they talk about tor related things 15:12:35 at some point we can use the ux repo as a hub for all ux related issues that came to us 15:12:42 i dont see trac listed on their list of things they connect to (but they are not listing everything and it goes seem we could get info from trac via email or rss) 15:12:58 isabela we can use rss right 15:13:05 k 15:13:08 I had look into this already ;) 15:13:20 maybe what i can do is write to you the rules i would use 15:13:33 like if trac ticket has X Y and Z do A B and C 15:13:37 also like irl was saying that he might be interested to use it too for metrics related things 15:13:41 yes that would help 15:13:53 i will write my rules at the pad i shared 15:13:56 at the top 15:14:04 ok 15:14:43 antonela: i have a request :) to not prioritize the .onion ux work for april, just the browser stuff that is related to otf grant 15:14:54 perfect 15:15:01 but i think all that will make more sense once i finish organizing everything 15:15:16 any questions, suggestions, concerns about this stuff 15:15:18 ? 15:15:28 hopefully we will have nice roadmaps by eow 15:15:47 nope, i think is a good plan 15:15:49 nope sounds good 15:16:06 thank you both for suggesting us to use it 15:16:07 :) 15:16:28 i will continue to mass with it and ping you for questions etc 15:16:46 ok! should we move to weekly status? 15:16:50 to be honest, yesterday i was pretty afraid to left the spreadsheet ha, but i think it will improve not just our workflow but other teams too 15:16:58 hahaha 15:17:20 if the sync with the trac works as expected, kanban is tooooo much better 15:17:21 i am more happy with this possibility of automate the sync between trac and gitlab 15:17:24 yes yes 15:17:55 one day we kill trac 15:18:13 † 15:18:17 i am happy we are doing this cuz is a step towards that 15:18:29 lol 15:18:32 yes 15:18:41 I am happy we are doing this so I know what I am doing :D!!! 15:18:47 lol 15:18:50 rip trac - managed so many issues till it became an issue itself 15:18:52 :) 15:19:09 k 15:19:14 weekly status! who starts? 15:19:19 I can start 15:19:35 so I can also answer the pad questions 15:19:42 :) 15:20:12 ok the portal repository on gitlab was supposed to be used only to test a mock of a portal 15:20:21 I should change the name 15:20:48 tx, i was hoping to have one for each portal i.e. community 15:20:57 tpo etc 15:21:16 sure 15:21:17 can a project (repo) be shared between groups? 15:21:35 uhm I do not think so 15:21:36 like the one anto created for torproject site on UX group could be used by infra? 15:21:40 ok 15:21:42 np 15:21:45 we can survive :) 15:21:57 (little PM noia, you can ignore hehe) 15:21:57 so I didn't anticipate that we were really going to use gitlab 15:22:14 in fact this will be the repository that we will build https://gitweb.torproject.org/project/web/support.git/ 15:22:20 maybe infra should be called web 15:22:26 like on torgit 15:22:32 hmm 15:22:45 i am not thinking of it as repositories more like categories 15:22:47 to be honest 15:22:50 ok 15:22:53 (the ones at gitlab) 15:23:11 i have tpo-org as a repo, but maybe we can take issues from each portal repo 15:23:12 idk 15:23:34 antonela: i am thinking of that only for torproject.org site work 15:23:39 k 15:23:40 i will create another for support 15:23:44 cool 15:23:59 so maybe if infra can have something similar 15:24:12 i think we can organize tasks per site as well 15:24:28 hiro: does that sounds ok? 15:24:31 yes 15:24:40 cool, please continue with your udpate :) 15:24:42 so we want different projects for each portal 15:24:45 correct? 15:24:48 yes 15:25:03 which also makes sense for me because each portal will have a repository :) 15:25:33 ok good so this week I did a bit of planning of my things and also finished the deb pkg for lektor 15:25:44 I need irl to review it and then it should be good 15:26:24 uhm I meant last week to be honest.. this week since it is only tuesday, I am going to do cleanup of tickets (the one that have been closed already) 15:26:59 and have the search up for testing with real results from support-staging 15:27:36 cool (remind about my other note on udpating that ticket to reflect what we discussed in rome) 15:27:47 ok sorry I should expand "planning of my things" -> I meant breaking down the issues on tasks that I need to do 15:28:12 yes, I did this work in order to update the ticket and start documentation as discussed in rome 15:29:05 also one thing I have ongoing is blog update. there is a big update coming up and an issue with a current update that I am not able to fully debug 15:29:25 ! 15:29:27 so I was going back and forth with pantheon. 15:29:44 I think that's all for me 15:30:34 thanks for taking care of the update 15:30:37 blog udpate 15:30:48 antonela: wanna go? 15:30:59 sure 15:31:10 I have all the illustrators proposals delivered.
