Re: [ros-dev] Status Meeting (June 2020)
by Victor Perevertkin 23 Jun '20

I'd like to propose what I have on my mind: - 0.4.14 release status, what's left to do (should be a short one) - Unifying our contribution guidelines. I've found out that we have too many places with instructions for contributors. And if fact they don't quite indicate our expectations of a good pull request. A couple of weeks ago we gathered our ideas for contributor's and reviewer's guidelines and put them in a google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1osRfG0PelNyDAwlwGFrIL-D12WeuxV3BO_GzW0N… I'd like to have a bit of a discussion about all we wrote there and then we will try to compile new guidelines from it. - This partly overlaps with the previous one. We have some pull requests where people with relevant experience are missing in our team. (atm I'm talking mainly about LSASS PR https://github.com/reactos/reactos/pull/2230, but such situation is possible in future) I suggest treating such PRs with a "light" scheme: only check for code style, some obvious mistakes etc. Otherwise they will be stuck forever Colin Finck <colin(a)reactos.org> wrote on Tue, June 23rd, 2020, 8:44 AM: > Short reminder that the meeting is going to take place this week's Thursday. > > Unfortunately, I didn't get a single mail regarding the meeting agenda. > However, I took from Mattermost that some people (Daniel in particular) > want to talk about channel moderation, so I'm putting it on the agenda: > > * Channel moderation (Daniel) > > There may have been other things I missed, which is why I reiterate to > send all agenda proposals by E-Mail. > > See you then, > > Colin > > > Am 04.06.2020 um 09:13 schrieb Colin Finck: > > Hi all! > > > > Let me invite you to the (almost) bi-monthly status meeting, taking > > place Thursday, 25th June, 19:00 UTC, in the Mattermost private channel > > "Meeting". > > > > I missed to announce a meeting last month and also didn't get any > > proposals for the agenda.

Status Meeting (June 2020)
by Colin Finck 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

Hi all! Let me invite you to the (almost) bi-monthly status meeting, taking place Thursday, 25th June, 19:00 UTC, in the Mattermost private channel "Meeting". I missed to announce a meeting last month and also didn't get any proposals for the agenda. But apparently there is a need to discuss a few things. Therefore, please submit your agenda proposals by E-Mail to me now. I will then announce the final agenda one week in advance. Topics I would like to speak about: * Achievements and Future Outlook (everyone) What have you been working on and what are your plans? * GSoC 2020 Status (org admins and mentors) Just a short update on how the GSoC projects are doing Best regards, Colin

Re: [ros-dev] [QubesOS] Debug first boot
by Victor Perevertkin 15 May '20

15 May '20

Hi Frédéric, Debug logs are being written to a serial port if you select the "ReactOS (Debug)" option in the bootloader. It will help to understand what's going on in the OS. My guess that's some race condition while enumerating devices. As far as I can see, Xen shares some code with QEMU for device emulation in HVM mode. Thus this wiki page (https://reactos.org/wiki/QEMU) may help to tune some settings, because ReactOS doesn't work with all kinds of modes QEMU offers (namely, q35 chipset doesn't work, https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-13346) Checking latest development build may also help, but we haven't made much changes to that part of OS recently. If you will manage to run ReactOS inside Xen, maybe it's worth creating a dedicated wiki page for that along with other virtualization software. Anyway, thanks for your interest in our project :) Victor

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [reactos] 02/02: [NTOS:MM] Get rid of unnecessary MmZeroingPageThreadActive.
by Alex Ionescu 10 May '20

10 May '20

I know I probably don't have much weight anymore but, I re-iterate that one of the goals of the project should be to make things as similar as possible for debugging/troubleshooting and learning as Server 2003... which does have this variable. I don't think it's the end of the world to keep it around. Stuff like this also tends to break kdexts.dll.

Status Meeting (March 2020)
by Colin Finck 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

Hi all! Let me invite you to the bi-monthly status meeting, taking place *TODAY*, 19:00 UTC, in the Mattermost private channel "Meeting". I know that this announcement comes way too late, but hope that people can manage to join, even if it's just to get some distraction from all the bad news these days. The agenda currently looks as follows, with the main speakers in parentheses: * Achievements and Future Outlook (everyone) What have you been working on and what are your plans? This is also the right time to talk about ReactOS 0.4.13 and RosBE 2.2 again. * GSoC 2020 Status (org admins and mentors) Just a short update on the timeline, promising projects and candidates * Drop one theme from "default" package (Victor) Last release we added two new themes, but they both look unfinished in many aspects. As we have an active maintainer for one of them (Mizu), Victor's suggestion is to either drop the Lunar, or "merge" it with Lautus By the way, we have many times discussed an option to make custom themes be installed from Rapps. What do we need to do for that? And finally, it would be nice to write down some formal criteria for accepting themes. It will make PR reviewers' life easier :) * Hire a developer for dev-web interface and/or a devops for our infrastructure (Victor) Making that a GSoC project required too much effort for a mentor; so in the end the project was not too efficient in terms of time spent/amount of work done ratio (as a GSoC project it is great, but the interface is still far from being usable) Victor thinks it is reasonable to hire some experienced developer for maybe a month or something. Looking forward to see all of you this evening! Colin

Topics for next Meeting
by Victor Perevertkin 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

Hi all! I would like to propose some topic to discuss on the next meeting (will it be on March, 26?) * Drop one theme from "default" package. Last release we added two new themes, but they both look unfinished in many aspects. As we have an active maintainer for one of them (Mizu), my suggestion is to either drop the Lunar, or "merge" it with Lautus (I find them quite similar - correct me if I'm wrong) I think it's worth asking cernodile and foxlet about their thoughts. I have a strong opinion that 4 themes is too much for "default" package By the way, we have many times discussed an option to make custom themes be installed from Rapps. What do we need to do for that? And finally, it would be nice to write down some formal criteria for accepting themes. It will make PR reviewers' life easier :) * Hire a developer for dev-web interface and/or a devops for our infrastructure. Making that a GSoC project required too much effort for a mentor; so in the end the project was not too efficient in terms of time spent/amount of work done ratio (as a GSoC project it is great, but the interface is still far from being usable) I think it is reasonable to hire some experienced developer for maybe a month or something (is we have enough funds, ofc). That will probably require a more detailed task from us. Suggestions are welcome here :) We don't have to wait for a meeting, may start discussing that here :) Cheers, Victor

32-bit hosts virtualbox EOL
by Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

"Please also use version 5.2 if you still need support for 32-bit hosts, as this has been discontinued in 6.0. Version 5.2 will remain supported until July 2020." FYI That means, ROS will still be usable as guest, but not as host
