Kamionsivang: I didn't expect to be quoted on that, I thought you were throwing out the artistic licence as a random idea and said on general principles that the clarified artistic is better12:21
Kamionsivang: my personal view is that the GPL's an excellent licence for documentation12:21
aswkamion: I agree with that. But there are circumstances where I think an invariant section is apropriate and in that case the GFDL is the only choice.  This leads to case-by-case decisions which I think is only fair. 12:29
asw(I agree that a copyleft license like the GPL is an excellent choice for documentation.) 12:30
aswI could even go further and say I think GPL should be the preferred choice. 12:30
asw(but this is a community decision... I'm just casting an opinion.) 12:32
Kamionso far I've just seen the GFDL's invariant sections abused far too much to be happy with them, really12:32
Kamionmost of the uses I've seen of them are actually not permitted under the terms of the GFDL, which leads me to believe that that provision is a shotgun loaded with rather too explosive bullets12:33
KamionI've seen documents full of technical content that was almost entirely designated as invariant12:34
Kamion(which the GFDL explicitly disallows, but it makes documents an enormous amount of work to categorise)12:34
aswkamion. it's impossible to permit (invariant) political speech without involving human judgement that it really is -- political speech -- 12:34
KamionI'd rather not have a licence with the GNU stamp on it permitting it at all12:35
Kamioninvariance, that is12:35
aswbut the point is that nothing deserves protection more than political speech.  If RMS can't include the GNU Manifesto in an emacs manual that just isn't freedom in any important sense. 12:35
KamionI think political speech should be freely quotable and modifiable provided that you don't remove credit from it12:35
Kamionthat is, after all, what real politicians do.12:36
KamionRMS can include the GNU manifesto if he's willing to allow people to quote from it and modify it as long as they make it clear that they've made changes12:36
Kamionthe fact that he's unwilling to do this is his own problem, not a matter for freedom12:37
Kamionand people should be allowed to remove the manifesto from the thing they're distributing if they don't like it12:37
Kamionhowever, that doesn't fit RMS' political goals12:40
Kamionwhich is all well and good, but "what RMS likes" isn't necessarily the same as free12:40
Kamionanyway, I'm ranting, time to do other things :)12:40
aswKamion would you be willing to have the GNU Emacs manual in Ubuntu if it includes the GNU Manifesto as an invariant section?  Would Ubuntu still be a project you could be proud of in that case?12:40
Kamionwhat goes into Ubuntu is not entirely my decision :)12:40
KamionI'm not willing to speak for Ubuntu on this.12:40
aswyes- but the goal in this community is consensus. 12:40
jdubasw: hrm, let's not use arguments like that to make points - it is not productive12:41
KamionThere are many things that I think should or should not happen; only a few of them get to significantly affect my pride in the project as a whole, whether the community as a whole agrees with me or not.12:43
Kamionor, in other words, what jdub said :)12:43
aswI can only speak for myself but I would personally be happier if manuals with invariant sections were included on a case by case basis.  If that's the ubuntu policy then I'm happy.  12:44
aswHaving said that I agree that it creates more work and should not be the default of any documentation we make. I already said I agree with kamion that the GPL is a fine license for that. 12:44
aswjdub? 12:44
amuI must note that, "in other words, what jdub said", sound cool12:45
aswamu?12:45
Kamionasw: the Ubuntu licensing policy is here: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/licensing - and it does say that we'll evaluate documentation on a case-by-case basis, so I think you're OK there.12:47
Kamionhence why I'm trying to separate out my personal opinions, and maybe not doing a very good job of it :)12:47
amuasw: thats something for my fortunes12:47
aswkamion: thanks for the link.  I suppose the point is that in practice that will mean reaching consensus on accepting/rejecting documents.  Sicne I think everybody agrees that an algorithm wont do it for us -- actual humans will have to make that decision.  Is there going to be a vote? I know who the ultimate decision maker will be but the point is that it should never have to reach that level...  [wikipedia has this problem with enforcin12:48
aswg neutral point of view.]  12:48
aswThere is no point of having a "case-by-case" policy if everybody knows in practice the community will reject every case an invariant section is included in a document. 12:49

sivangKaimon : what would you say would be a good license to aid debian in using our works?12:51
aswI thought GPL was already proposed. 12:55
Kamionthat's my feeling, yes12:55
Kamionbut any simple GPL-style or BSD-style licence will get wide acceptance12:55
aswsivang would you be satisfied with GPL as default? 12:57
aswkaimon: believe it or not I had this exact conversation with the maintainer of the REC.GAMES.COREWAR FAQ over email.  I have offered to take over maintenance and re-license (from proprietary) to use GPL but he wants to use GFDL.  I hope to change his mind.  (I was only arguing for GFDL on case-by-case.)  12:58
asw[sigh]  maybe this is enough on licensing for one day... 01:00
KamionI had a rather extensive debate with the LDP guys a while back over licensing; kinda burned myself out on doc licensing back then :)01:00
Kamion(having an entire story on slashdot dedicated to flaming you personally tends to burn you out on things)01:00
asw[laughing]  I'm curious I want to go find the story now.  Where do I look? =^) 01:01
Kamionhm, it was back in 2001 or something01:02
KamionDecember 200101:03
Kamiona friend of mine's response to it was:01:03
Kamion"So, do you feel like a fascist? I shall expect to see a red flag flying01:03
Kamionoutside your house next time I drop by, assuming you're not out shooting01:03
Kamionsome Jews or something.01:03
Kamion"01:03
Kamion:-)01:03
aswI will look it up when I ahve a chance. [laughing some more]  01:03
aswKamion: are you the person to ask about 3D graphics support in upcoming releases. 01:04
Kamionhttp://slashdot.org/articles/01/12/06/133251.shtml01:04
aswI've offered to work on "ubuntu for scientists" but a more narrow (and doable) project is documenting X3D/VRML on Ubuntu.01:04
Kamionasw: no, fabbione/daniels might be better candidates01:04
aswunfortunately the reference implementation of X3D relies on Java...01:05
Kamioneek01:06
aswis there a Java policy yet?  anyone working on it? (I haven't even tried to get the java X3D viewer to work on my debian box but I might just do it on a clean ubuntu install.) 01:06
asweek?01:07
asw(believe it or not I haven't used windows for five+ years so I haven't got the java X3d viewer working anywhere.) 01:08
KamionI don't recall exactly where we landed, but getting X3D in will be a much easier sell if it works with one of the free JVMs01:09
aswx3d works without java01:10
Kamionthe ref impl, I mean01:10
Kamiongive it a try with jikes and kaffe01:10
aswfrankly I have little use for java when I can help it. It's just that 3d graphics is not what I want to spend my time doing and so using a standard like X3d seems the way to go (since I have a highly 3d application.)   01:11
aswI just wanted to know if there was a person thinking about "java" on ubuntu yet.01:11
aswthere is a very nice c++ toolkit http://artis.imag.fr/Software/X3D/ looking for a debian/ubuntu maintener.  It compiles out of the box on debian (sid) so it really shouldn't be much work to get it into an upcoming release. 01:14
=== AndyFitz [~andy@203-173-20-190.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel
sabdflasw: you're welcome to put a package together for universe01:14
aswfrankly. I'm still a newbie when it comes to maintaining packages. but I will if I can't find anybody else.  I'm just trying to get a feel for who is doing what. and how things are done around here. \01:15
Kamiongenerally the core team hasn't been putting any effort into anything that's not part of Ubuntu proper, short of occasionally poking it to make it build01:18
aswkamion & sabdfl: I will also aproach the x3d guys and see if they will help with supporting a free jvm.  01:19
Kamionpersonally if I wanted to get a package into universe I think I'd get it into Debian and watch it automatically propagate into Ubuntu :)01:19
sabdflor Ubuntu improper for that matter. *cough*01:19
Kamionsabdfl: :-)01:19
sabdflKamion: we'll have a faster process for universe, i think01:19
sabdflneed to figure out what that process is, exactly, but since we don't provide support for those packages our threshold can be fairly low01:20
Kamionjust feels easier to work with the community that way in the case of new packages01:20
Kamionbut I expect some people to disagree with me :)01:20
aswkamion: yeah, that was my plan. (I'll try and get the Inria X3D toolkit into Debian -- I already have the blessing of the upstream maintainer and as I said he already has it compile out of the box.) 01:20
=== sabdfl [~mark@host217-37-231-28.in-addr.btopenworld.com] has left #ubuntu-devel []
jdubKamion: totally agree, btw. having packages in our tree that are not in debian seems unwise (other than obviously ubuntu-specific things, like u-a)01:22
aswthis is a stupid question but what's a "core package" and how does it get there?  Is it like "main" in debian? or no? 01:23
Kamionasw: it's the bits we selected to make up Ubuntu (minus universe)01:23
jdubasw: the word 'core' doesn't mean anything in ubuntu land01:23
jdubasw: you probably mean main (which is base + desktop + supported seeds)01:24
jdub(and other bits to make all of that work)01:24
Kamion(main+restricted)01:24
jdub(it's kinda complicated)01:24
Kamionit's accumulated an amusing amount of gargoyley bits in a mere six months01:25

aswyou are going to do releases every six. It should get interesting. 01:26
Kamionoh, does anyone know how to mirror just part of an arch archive, or even if you can?01:26
KamionI realised that making germinate's history public means that I have to either do that or create some kind of a public branch01:27
Kamion(the archive containing germinate contains a bunch of other stuff as well, not sure whether all of it should be public)01:27
=== lamont returns
lamontsabdfl: ping01:31

lamontI think I have everything now to build bits at the house, which will shorten the turnaround on testing, although it's still 30+min/iteration01:33
Kamionheh, strange reversal; for me it always worked out faster to build in the datacentre, but that's because rsync works for me :)01:34
lamontI still need to catch another hour's sleep before I'm really safe to be doing any serious hacking01:34
lamontand then I need to deal with the other 3 of 4 splash screens01:34
lamontgrub says morphix, bootsplash is ubuntu, etc01:35
lamontthen I need to apply some sanity filters to the packages and where they're coming from01:35
lamontall in all, I'm hoping to have something for the developer community tonight sometime, and more general release tomorrow night (US times)01:36
lamontsabdfl: actually, looking at people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/testing/warty-live-20041015-20.iso the grub splash is the only really unacceptable one.01:37

sabdflKamion: certainly does in some cases, can't say definitively01:42
Kamiond'oh01:43
jdubhaha, dudes in the linuxtoday editorial:01:43
jdub"Did anybody notice the new bootsplash and login screens for Ubuntu Linux that came out in the latest release this week? Apparently, some people thought that the photos of less than fully clothed twenty-somethings were a bit too sexual. having been in theatre, I have seen a lot worse. The word from the Ubuntu folks was that these folks were supposed to represent humanity. That's cool by me. I had a question, though. How did they come up with the money fo01:43
=== lamont configures a printer to print his oo.o document

sabdflanyhow, what do you guys think of me hosting am irc chat to discuss the artwork, to get a broader community view?01:44
jdubKamion: can't really choose to kill oss compat for hoary unless we put in the time to make it work01:44
jdubsabdfl: might just be painful01:44
Kamiondiscover seems to load a few oss modules (not all of them), I'm sure hotplug does too01:45
Kamioncould probably go through discover and change the listings, at least01:45
Kamionfor hotplug a blacklist would be possible01:46
sabdfljdub: i've been asking on #ubuntu, and feedback has actually been quite positive01:46

jdubyeah, though not sure people on a massive and busy irc channel are hugely representative ;)01:46
sabdfljdub: got a better suggestion?01:47
sivangi really likr the bootsplash01:47
Kamionsabdfl: yes, but much better to list the right drivers than to blacklist the wrong ones01:47

sivangnight all01:47
sabdflKamion: listing the right one doesn't stop it from loading the wrong one, afaik01:47
sabdfland if it loads the wrong one first, then the right one is blocked01:47
Kamionuh, discover won't do that01:48
Kamionsomething else might01:48
jdubsabdfl: not off the top of my head, if you're wanting wider response than the mailing list01:48
Kamionalsa-base does the hotplug blacklist, I think01:48
sabdfljdub: i'm trying to get a sense of what the average user thinks, not just the user that vents on a list about it01:48
jdubsabdfl: your best bet, scarily enough, is to go to a shopping centre and ask normal people :-)01:48
Kamionanyway, if discover1-data/pci.lst doesn't list the OSS drivers then discover won't load them, so that's the cleanest solution if mdz's happy with the change at this date01:49
jdubsabdfl: (yeah, irc is less representative than a mailing list)01:49
sabdflhmm... so would the question go something like:01:49
sabdfl"folks are you offended by all of these images you see in advertisements around you"?01:49
Kamionthat sounds like a leading question01:49
jdubi'd ask a few01:49
jdub"Do you like this image?"01:49
sabdflanyhow, we've had our debate, and i'm close to a decision, but i would like to host the discussion in a more interactive form than the mailing list01:50
jdub"Would you like this on a billboard advertisement?"01:50
jdub"Would you like this on your computer?"01:50
jdubthose kinds of things01:50
jdubperhaps go into specific use cases01:51

amukind of both, ex. sound works, playing mp3/streams doesnt, some are from design, like screensaver, he ask my password, but i didnt set one  12:50
sabdflhmm... ubuntu default for screensaver does not ask password, i don't think12:52
sabdflthe livecd should surely be picking up all the ubuntu defaults?12:52
sabdflmp3 support we don't have for patent reasons12:52
amuno idea, I just booted the cd, didnt compared the packagebase, well i can't 12:53
