Thanks for volunteering!
I hadn't made my mind about any specific plans yet. What I had been
doing is I give some sort of introduction, like updates on the
infrastructure, etc, then open for discussion ("any other business"). I
also prepare some topics in advance to bootstrap the discussion in case
attendees don't bring anything up.
For example, you as heavy user¹ could open by describing your impression
of the process, workflow tips, features/bugs of the testing migration
gating, etc.
¹ https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/23363.38045.677096.392160@chiark.greenend.org.uk
Then you can have a list of questions to ask attendees in case no one
raises a discussion topic, like
- did anyone here try to add autopkgtest support for a package, but hit
any blocker, and would like to discuss that?
- does anyone has a useful tip to share about testing a (recurring)
situation that could be useful for others?
etc. and if you can have your own answer prepared for these, it helps to
get the ball rolling.
