These are my personal goals/plans for 11.3.0, for discussion.

Budget: 10-12 hours per week

Image size reduction - particularly for XO-1

  • Remove mesa-dri-drivers
  • Remove cracklib dicts? linux-firmware?
  • Move to ubifs again, but use zlib compression
  • In boot partition on signed images, use signed files even in unsigned mode, no need to store unsigned copies

Network stability

  • NM failing to bring up device, confused by S/R
  • XO-1 not connecting on reboot, consistently need to click once
  • Check for optimal programming speed of encryption keys, needed for reliable WPA1
  • Stop powerd from suspending when NM is connecting? may require full-time powerd-dbus daemon
  • Networks taking a long time to appear

Release management, deployment and community engagement

  • Continue weekly triage meetings, even if not so triage-orientated
  • Invite Chris Leonard to weekly meetings for better coordination with localization efforts
  • Document out how localization interacts with the release process (when do string freezes happen? who announces them? etc.)
  • Try to get a couple of teams meeting on a weekly basis for testing and awareness (Nicaragua & La Rioja?)
  • Look closely and prioritise pending requests from responsive deployments, encourage more of this
