makosmurfix seems to be slightly allergic to this meeting time05:05
MirvI'm (timo) here again05:05
MithrandirKarianne is not a guy, but I'll wake her.05:05
sabdfl:-)05:05

fabbioneohi joaocruz 05:06
joaocruzhey05:06
makojoaocruz: ola05:06
sabdflanything we can do to help your plans for portugal?05:06
MithrandirKarianne will be around in a couple of minutes05:06
sabdflbig thing that's coming up on our side is a mass import of hoary PO's into Rosetta, so if you have translation-oriented mates it would be great to start getting them ready05:07
joaocruzwe started gathering a team, and setup up our wiki page05:07
joaocruzI had asked smurfix for a server to host the wiki05:07
sabdflwe will have only a short time to polish any untranslated strings - portuguese should be pretty good right out the block05:07
=== opi [~emil@195.69.82.35] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
makoMirv: we should have removed you from the agenda05:07
opihi guys05:07
makoMirv: that that we don't like hearing from you but we don't need to have the same conversatino every two weeks :)05:07
sabdflhey opi05:08
sabdflok, so one wiki05:08
makoopi: oi!05:08
opiI glad I make it, I had to run agains the wind and snow05:08
sabdfli guess that's something we need a plan for, for all the loco teams05:08
=== doko [~doko___@dsl-082-082-189-223.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
opioi makosan05:08
=== Simira [~simira@16.80-202-208.nextgentel.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
Mirvmako: yes, I thought I'd pop up as I was still there :) and there was some talk that a correct guy (handling locoteam stuff) wasn't around the last time05:08
=== mdz [~mdz@ca-studio-bsr1o-251.vnnyca.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
sabdflmako: do you think it would help if we setup a rackspace or other type server, gave some sort of admin to smurfix and a loco-coordinators team, and let the guys go wild on that?05:09
SimiraI'm here05:09
sabdfldon't let elmo hear me say that, but since he's not here...05:09
opiwell, too bad smurfix is away05:09
makosabdfl: i'm not entirely clear how how smurfix is doing this now actually.. but yes. it might be good to give a dedicated space for the loco sites, etc05:09
sabdflwhat's that xen-based or other virtual-pc  based hosting company?05:10
makosabdfl: there are loads of them05:10
opilinode.org? )05:10
Riddellbytemark05:10
sabdfllinode, that's the one05:10
makosabdfl: but linode is the one that does ubuntu05:10
makosabdfl: although i suspect there will be many more ubuntu uml places soon05:10
sabdflwould we consider anything else? :-)05:10
makogranted :)05:10
sabdfldebian, of course05:10
opiactualy, I was thinking about setting a Ubuntu server for Polish team members at my workplace05:10
sabdfland that should be easy to find05:10
sabdflopi - it will likely always be easier if you have total control of the box05:11
sabdflbut we could maybe offer a standard low-cost low-bandwidth option to all the LoCo teams05:11
sabdflKamion: ?05:11
makoright, we don't want to keep teams from doing what they are comfortable doing.. but for people that need the help, we should offer it05:11
opisabdfl: I would. I have one Ubuntu server there, but I can't let people outside company use it05:11
Kamionsabdfl: yes?05:12
opibut my boss will not mind to host another ubuntu box, we have a Ubuntu mirror allready ;)05:12
makoSimira: is this something that would interest you?05:12
makoSimira: or the norweigan people since you're now empowered to speak for them05:12
sabdflKamion: think it's a good idea to have a standard hosting option for the loco's that doesn't involve our admins?05:12
opiSimira: claim for ubuntu-no.org :)05:13
Mithrandiropi: it's already claimed.05:13
makosmurfix is alread offering something like this05:13
Mithrandiropi: and we have ubuntu.no05:13
Kamionsabdfl: seems like that'd depend mostly on whether our admins are feeling overworked dealing with loco stuff?05:13
Mithrandirwhich is pointing to the right place.05:13
makoideally, i'd like having the loco team coordinator handle this sort of stuff05:13
joaocruzsmurfix mentioned he was going to set up a server and I would admin part of it05:14
opiyes, our Wiki site is hosted at Smurfix server05:14
sabdfli'm mainly thinking that this would give them the freedom to choose wiki / cms / scripting language (lua :-) etc05:14
makoyeah, absolutely05:14
Kamioncertainly something standard that can be rolled out identically for each loco without much effort would be a good thing05:14
sabdflthey might well share work between them05:14
opiand this would take lots of load from admins05:14
KamionI mean identically to start with05:14
sabdflok, i'll look into it05:14
makobut the admin contact could be the loco team coordinator05:14
joaocruzthat freedom would be cool05:14
Simiramako: might be interesting, yes05:14
opibecause they wouldn't have to know every solution in existance ;-)05:14
makosince they'd be doing stuff that our admins might be, er.. *cough*PHP*cough*05:14
sabdflexhactly05:15
makosabdfl: yeah. lets find out exactly what smurf is doing05:15
makosabdfl: and then find out how we can do it better05:15
opiMithrandir: we have recived ubuntu.pl form a person who bought it, becuase of Ubuntu spirit :)05:15
makoin terms of dedicated machines, etc. we have a few easy ideas already05:16
Kamioncan we have the next CC meeting at a time when smurfix can be around, so we can sync up with him?05:16
sabdflok. joaocruz: any particular plans or projects in portugal you want to tell us about?05:16
makoKamion: yes.. UTC20 might work for him05:16
sabdflwhich tz is smurfix in? non-work EU?05:16
makosabdfl: i think this is commute time for him05:16
opiCET I think05:16
sabdflok05:16
opihe's in London, right?05:16
amusmurfix: is .de05:16
makoopi: germany05:17
=== jani [~jani@iv.ro] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
opinormally, yes05:17
opibut he left for a short period, no?05:17
=== herve [~hcauwelie@mut38-1-82-233-119-142.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
joaocruzsabdfl no formal plans yet, but we have team members in two big universities that are spreading the word and using ubuntu to support their projects05:17
opiabelli told me that :)05:17
sabdfli'm not keen to move the CC to 20h00 every time, but we can try other times to include specific people for specific things05:17
makoopi: possibly. i didn't hear about it05:17
makosabdfl: sure05:17
sabdfli have a EMARIANNE situation to contend with05:17
sabdfljoaocruz: ok. if anything comes up, smurfix is your guy, or join us here to talk about it05:18
sabdflany other LoCo folks?05:18
MithrandirSOs are important, so that's understandable. :)05:18
joaocruzsure05:18
Q-FUNKre.  sorry I'm late.05:18
makosabdfl: i'll ask smurf what time works better.. since i think i'm the most far west of the people taht neesd to be there.. we could even goa  few hours earlier05:18
sabdflQ-FUNK: welcome05:18
opisabdfl: Polish team already coworking with Smurfix, so we can handle it in sane manner 05:18
=== fabbione repropose a natural rotation for meetings to accomodate everybody
sabdflnext up... Member candidates:     JerryHaltom       AaronLake       HervCauwelier       Arnaud Vandyck       MartinEricRacine       HiweedLeng       MatthewWeaver   05:19

dholbachjust called metallikop (AaronLake)05:20
makowe also handled aaron lake last time05:20
makodholbach: didn't we?05:20
dholbachmako: he became member05:20
sabdflok, mako, are you moving them to the Members list?05:20
sabdflherve: you're up05:20
makosabdfl: i did a very poor job of resetting the agenda this time around05:20
sabdflmako: np, did traffic go out though?05:21
smurfixgah. Now present-05:21
sabdflhiya smurfix05:21
dholbachherve should definitely become member05:21
opihi smurfix 05:21
smurfixsorry about being late05:21
sabdflsmurfix, could you get in touch with linode.org and ask them for a bulk price on 100 basic Ubuntu nodes?05:21
makosabdfl: a traffic went out but i'm still a couple weeks back. i sent summaries of the meetings to -news05:22
sabdflherve: what's your specialty, and what's your focus area going to be for ubuntu?05:22
smurfixsabdfl: can do. I've been using my own server but if traffic increases it's going to be underpowered.05:22
herveI focus on Python & Zope, and would like to take care of conglomerate05:22
herveI have packages I want to enter into Ubuntu05:23
sabdflsmurfix: maybe we can do a deal with linode, give them a good price on general ubuntu support in exchange for LoCo nodes?05:23
herveand work in the MOTU05:23
smurfixjoaocruz: I'll get to setup your server tonight05:23
sabdflherve: ok, so code-oriented05:23
dholbachhe's python/zope specialist and integrated himself into the team VERY nicely05:23
dholbach:-)05:23
=== man-di [~mkoch@dyndsl-080-228-194-166.ewe-ip-backbone.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
hervein a word, I'm a maintainer yes05:23
sabdflherve: have you worked with doko, and on the PythonTransitionMOTU-TODO?05:23
makogreat05:24
hervesabdfl, had few times, but discussed with them05:24
herveI was focusing on Debian packages for a project I'm in05:24
tsengits better to get NEW packages into Debian via a sponsor if you can manage it05:24
dholbachand resolved some python issues05:24
herveI've just finished them this night, now I have more time for the motu05:24
dholbachi'm glad he's around :-)05:24
sabdfltseng: we can take new packages immediately05:25
hervetseng, that's my plan05:25
=== hsprang [~henning@c187218.adsl.hansenet.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
sabdflfolks shoudl still upload to debian05:25
hervetseng, now my packages are ready, i'll contact d.mentors05:25
sabdflbut we don't have to wait, for universe05:25
herveI'd like to be a DD too :-)05:25
dokosabdfl: worked with him on some packages he did05:25
tsengherve: great :)05:25
Mithrandirsabdfl: problem is that Debian's NEW is so slow ATM.05:25
hervebut we need to set a plan for python & zope helper scripts with doko and the others05:25
sabdflmembership is more about commitment to the overall ubuntu project, maintainership (TB) is the code angle05:25
jbaileyherve: If there's anything I can help with on the cdbs side, ping me.05:26
Kamionherve++ for member, anyway, based on what I've seen and on dholbach's comments05:26
herveMithrandir, it's even stalled for days. a flamewar even started on their lists05:26
=== Q-FUNK loves cdbs
seb128jbailey: may I ping you have multi-build ? :p05:26
sabdflso herve you'll need to be back next week to get the go-ahead from the TB on the uploading front05:26
Mithrandirherve: I'm a DD, I'm on debian-devel; I know. :)05:26
seb128s/have/to have/05:26
sabdflfirst universe, then maybe main too05:26
=== mako nods at kamion
hervejbailey, I need to learn cdbs so I can be a tester, np05:26
herveMithrandir, oops soory :)05:26
sabdflCC guys other than Kamion, on herve for member?05:27
hervethere was another interesting plan for a zope script for cdbs05:27
opiI would relay on dholbach comments regarding herve :-)05:27
jbaileyseb128: For you, I might have an anechoic coating like a submarine. =)05:27
makosabdfl: i already said yes (unclearly perhaps)05:27
makosounds great05:28
sabdflmako: ok, i see the nod now :-)05:28
seb128jbailey: ah ah05:28
hervenote my gpg key is not yet strongly cosigned05:28
sabdflcool, welcome aboard herve05:28
dholbach*rock*05:28
makoherve: mail me a signed CoC05:28
sabdflherve: that's mainly an issue for the TB, we can possibly help using a notary05:28
hervewell, thank you all05:28
hervemako, noted05:28
dholbachanother word on AaronLake (metalikop): i talked to him about MOTUness... it's just he "fell into miscredit" because of a package with a suid binary he proposed... his work on universepythontransitiontodo was really good, i'll talk to ogra (once he appears again) because i'd be happy with him as MOTU; although i'd have a talk to him again05:28
sabdflarnaud?05:28
sabdflis our suid policy published anywhere?05:29
dholbachit's just a note that "AaronLake is not ticked off" completely from the agenda05:29
makoherve: also, nice wiki page :)05:29
tsengi can confirm that he did several packages for python05:29
makoherve: it's easy to get an idea of what you're involved in and have done by read it05:29
jbaileyArnaud isn't here, but I and wasabi_ have worked with him.  (wasabi_ more than I)05:29
Kamionsabdfl: "talk to mdz and see if he vomits"05:29
sabdfl:-)05:29
hervemako, Debian user and home developer for 5 years ;-)05:29
KamionArnaud's done great work on kaffe in Debian05:29
sabdfl:-// more like it05:29
Kamionit's in a rather saner state now that it was this time last year or so05:30
wasabi_hi05:30
dholbachit's just, i want to talk to ogra an metalikop before05:30
mdzsabdfl: our policy is that new setuid programs are met with extreme suspicion05:30
sabdflok, i think the metalikop issue is more maintainership than membership, he seems fully committed to ubuntu05:30
mdzsabdfl: is there a specific issue?05:30
dholbachmdz: it was on the list05:30
makosabdfl: absolutely05:30
sabdflmdz: 05:31
sabdfl(16:28:47) dholbach: another word on AaronLake (metalikop): i talked to him about MOTUness... it's just he "fell into miscredit" because of a package with a suid binary he proposed... his work on universepythontransitiontodo was really good, i'll talk to ogra (once he appears again) because i'd be happy with him as MOTU; although i'd have a talk to him again05:31
mdzdoesn't sound like a community council issue05:31
pittidholbach: which package?05:31
mdzoh05:31
dholbachmdz, pitti: a gnome applet. dunno the name, it's not in hoary05:31
pittidholbach: ok05:31
sabdflmdz: i just felt that before people's reputations are tarnished there should be a policy published which we could point to, rather than depending on being a member of the cabal that know's how to channel you :-)05:31
mdzsabdfl: unfortunately it's a very touchy-feely sort of process which requires a nausea response to code which is not written defensively05:32
sabdflok05:33
dholbachi think the new MOTUNewPackagePolicy will ensure we don't get those type of packages in "by accident"05:33
mdzif we codified it, it would be something like "programs that suck may never be setuid"05:33
sabdflfor UDU i think we should get a doc plan together for coding standards, doc standards, packaging standards05:33
Mithrandirhowever, I don't think we need to throw people into miscredit for making a single mistake; I think metalikop has learnt about suid stuff now.05:33
sabdflat UDU05:33
mdzdholbach: I think lintian alerts on that, too, though it isn't perfect05:33
sabdflMithrandir: agreed exactly05:33
dholbachMithrandir: yes05:33
smurfixmdz: Given the Turing-completeness of the problem we can't do any better anyway. ;-)05:33
sabdfl /var/www is on my conscience...05:33
sabdflok, next?05:33
Q-FUNK?05:34
makowait.. did we get approval for arnaud?05:34
sabdflquick question - if we have someone doing obviously excellent work, do we need them to meet up with the CC for membership confirmation?05:34
jbaileysabdfl: Youw ere starting Arnaud. =)05:34
makosabdfl: no05:34
sabdflmako: i think it's good to have everyone drop in and say "hi"05:35
makosabdfl: process stuff says it's suggested and will help05:35
mdz"meet the neighbors"05:35
makosabdfl: they need to get testimonials from other team members.. so they need to meet up with at least a number of people05:35
sabdflit gives me and other CC guys, and other people who watch the CC process, a chance to read their wiki pages and get in tune05:35
sabdflright05:35
sabdflthis is a good argument for rotating TZ's per fabbione's suggestion05:35
makoi'm not opposed to that.. we'll move the next one it seems05:36
sabdflmako: if we did that, would you be more comfortable with requiring folks to come to the CC meeting to be approved?05:36
makoyes, absolutely05:36
sabdflok05:36
makoi was most concerrned with making people get up at 3am05:36
sabdflno TZ discrimination round here!05:36
fabbionemako: there will always be somebody unhappy.05:36
makofabbione: yes, unless it rotates05:36
fabbionelet's make a constant rotation and 3 out of 4 times people will be ok05:36
makofabbione: and then everyone is unhappy sometimes but nobody is unhappy always :)05:36
sabdflok05:37
fabbionemako: let's talk about it later05:37
jbailey3am is at least doable.  Middle of the workday is less doable for most.05:37
makoyes05:37
sabdflthis is going to be fun, keeping track of it :-)05:37
fabbionei have some ideas05:37
makoso want to make a decision about arnaud?05:37
makoshould we suggest he come to the next meeting? 05:37
sabdfllet's stick to the "please come once" idea05:37
makojbailey: what is your feeling?05:37
Kamionarnaud++ as far as I'm concerned05:37
Mithrandirsabdfl: ical feed for meeting calender :)05:37
sabdflMithrandir: you're going to *love* launchpad soon :-)05:37
jbaileymako: He's a DD now and has been sponsoring a ton of people, like Michael Koch and Jerry Haltom.05:37
=== mako is willing to go on the recommendations he's had from people i trust
makoyeah, i know him from debian05:38
sabdfllet's ask him to make the next meeting, and confirm it then05:38
makoso i'm comfortable with it05:38
makoalright, sounds good05:38
makoMartinEricRacine ?05:38
jbaileyI'm willing to say spin it to the next meeting for consistancy, though.05:38
Q-FUNKthat's me.05:38
sabdflQ-FUNK: you're up05:38
Mithrandirsabdfl: just give me an emacs interface and kerberos integration and I'll be happy. ;)05:38
makoQ-FUNK: your page doesn't really describe what you've been doing for ubuntu.. are there a re few projects you've been actively involved in?05:39
makoQ-FUNK: or are you still ramping up?05:39
sabdfli'm sure e-lisp has xml-rpc bindings...05:39
Q-FUNKI'd mostly be maintaining the same packages I have in Debian (versions in Warty have security bugs), plus possibly adopting and packaging some more as I find time.05:39
jbaileyMmm..  Kerberos.05:39
=== jbailey makes Homer noises.
makoQ-FUNK: which are those?05:39
makoand don't say "the e-lisp kerbos and and xml-rpc bindings"05:40
Q-FUNKmako: my blog (as seen on planet.debian) mentions some more things I did for Ubuntu, such as trying to get the local debian mirror to also mirror ubuntu.05:40
makowell we should get your blog in ubuntu planet.. but that's another issue :)05:40
smurfixmako: Mine too ;-)05:41
=== mako points a finger to jdub
Q-FUNKmako: cups-pdf had a number of RC bugs fixed by upstream, which I later uploaded to unstable.05:41
opimako: and mine! :P05:41
opimako: pointing is so rude :P05:41
opimako: I rate you: not a team player ;-)05:41
Q-FUNKmako: I would need to be able to keep that in sync in ubuntu as well.05:41
sabdflQ-FUNK: so, in summary,main membership focus will be maintainership?05:42
sabdflQ-FUNK: have you done any MOTU bits?05:42
Q-FUNKmako: then numlockx has seen several bugxies since I adopted it.05:42
makoQ-FUNK: have you worked with anyone on the MOTU or other team in ubuntu yet that can vouche for you?05:42
Q-FUNKsabdfl: for now, maintainership, yes.  however, my main focus is on business and publicity issues.05:43
makoQ-FUNK: ooh, that's nice :)05:43
makoQ-FUNK: we tend to like to put maintainership on people with testimonials from other poeple and who can point to a big body of work in ubuntu05:43
Q-FUNKmako: some of the gnome guys, like seb128, have been in contact for some time already on several gnome issues.05:43
dholbachsabdfl: he's in the channel and helped out with questions, but in the last days i was very busy, so i might have missed things he worked on05:43
makoQ-FUNK: would you be opposed to revisiting this in two weeks?05:44
Q-FUNKseb128: any comment on my current involvement in gnome testing and bug reporting?05:44
Kamionyeah, I'd also like there to be a bit more meat on the wiki page05:45
sabdflQ-FUNK: any top things you think we should be working on to meet your goals for the enterprise market?05:45
Kamionof the Ubuntu-specific variety :-)05:45
seb128not a lot to say, out of speaking about some issues (mainly on ppc) with the packages ...05:45
makoQ-FUNK: you can build up the wiki page, do a few uploads, and maybe start some of the work on the business stuff?05:45
seb128I've not reviewed any package or such stuff05:45
Q-FUNKseb128: anything on the gnome 28 transition testing I did on ppc?05:46
sabdflQ-FUNK: check out https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/WinningTheDesktop05:46
makoQ-FUNK: if you're opposed to looking at this next week, it will give you a chance to build up the page and i'm sure it will not be controversial :)05:46
makosorry, in two weeks05:46
sabdflseb128: has Q-FUNK been busy in bugzilla for you?05:47
seb128ubuntu bugzilla ? no05:47
seb128just pinging sometimes on the debian BTS05:47
Q-FUNKsabdfl: I've been approached by a few Baltic startups wanting to make their custom Debian-based distros. I suggested Ubuntu instead.05:47
Q-FUNKsabdfl: but my possibilities to promote Ubuntu are limitted as I'm currently unemployed.05:47
sabdflQ-FUNK: don't want to put you on the spot, i like what you've written on your wiki page, and I think given another round of clarity there and active work on bugzilla or in the community will get you there05:48
Q-FUNKsabdfl: I don't do bugzilla.  I despise having to create yet another acocunt on yet another bugzilla.05:48
sabdflmalone?05:48
sabdflall-your-bugzillas-are-belong-to... ?05:48
mdzwe don't love Bugzilla either, but it's the tool that we have today, and we work with that05:49
smurfixQ-FUNK: at the moment we don't really have a choice05:49
makomdz: speak for yourself! i love.. no wait. i don't05:49
seb128mdz: if you don't like bugzilla you should try the sf bug tracker :p05:49
mdzseb128: I have05:49
pittiseb128: argh, this sucks :-/05:49
=== smurfix hits seb128
sabdflok05:49
makoalright05:49
Q-FUNKI would love it if all the bugzillas in the world had a single logon and unifed user database.  creating yet another account for every single OSS project thta uses bugzilla is a pain.05:49
sabdflAPPROVED!05:50
mdzI didn't say bugzilla was the _worst_ bug tracker :-)05:50
makoQ-FUNK: in two weeks. you can talk to me in advance if you want05:50
Q-FUNKbut this bugzilla discussion is besides the point.05:50
seb128mdz: :)05:50
makoHiweedLeng05:50
Kamionhiweed is not here; has anyone worked with him?05:50
Kamionthe wiki page is light on contributions to date05:50
mdzQ-FUNK: indeed, but please don't turn your nose up at bugzilla if you're suggesting that you're going to participate in Ubuntu development :-)05:50
sabdflQ-FUNK: chat to mako in between, and perhaps there are ways we can make the work that you are doing more tangible and more visible to the CC and your colleagues. then we're all set05:50
makoi think we need to talk with and work with Hiweed a bit more05:51
makohe (s)he around?05:51
Q-FUNKsabdfl: fair enough :)05:51
sabdflif not... MatthewWeaver?05:51
m_tthewyes05:51
mdz-> m_tthew 05:51
Kamionhaving Hiweed work with the universe guys for a while on Chinese support, and with whoever's needed to improve support in main, would be good05:51
mdzI can personally attest that m_tthew is spreading the LOVE05:52
makoyeah05:52
makoi think we need to talk to hiweed a bit more05:52
makohis wiki page details a few areas of what appears to be confusion05:52
Kamionon reading his wiki page, I am now trying to remember trading double entendres with m_tthew :-)05:52
mako"I have read the Debian Social Contract and the DFSG (I agree to both)"05:52
Q-FUNKmdz: maintaining being only a very tiny bit of what I intend on doing at Ubuntu, let's just say that bugzilla is not gona be my main tool. :)05:52
sabdfldoubled parry-entendres 'ey? sounds canadian to me05:52
mdzQ-FUNK: sure, but if you refuse to even create an account, that's a problem05:52
m_tthewKamion: we debugged a d-i / grub problem on a sounder CD way way back, talked about big hammers in tight places05:53
sabdflKamion: he says nothing about fluids in there05:53
mako"Once I had an idea that MattZimmerman called 'pretty reasonable'"05:53
Q-FUNKmako: anyhow, fair enough.  in 2 weeks then.05:53
Kamionsabdfl: ew05:53
dholbachhehe05:53
makothat might be better than me05:53
Kamionm_tthew: ah :-)05:53
=== Q-FUNK heads for sauna
makoQ-FUNK: cool, thanks for showing up05:53
makoQ-FUNK: we'll talk05:53
Kamionwow, nostalgia attack05:53
mdzmako: have your people call his people, we'll talk05:54
makoso.. strong feelings about m_tthew ?05:54
makoanyone, anyone05:54
opiQ-FUNK: if you refusing to get new, I'll share with you ;)05:54
=== mdz hugs m_tthew
=== fabbione thumbs up
=== m_tthew blushes
=== opi smiles
sabdflm_tthew: are you actively working on any embedded distro work?05:55
makowhere jdub? this is love05:55
Q-FUNKsabdfl: I think my profile on LinkedIn would give you a better idea of what I do with free/OSS.  very little coding or maintaining involved. :)05:55
m_tthewsabdfl: outside of helping a former employer maintain a hacked up version of pebble? no.05:55
sabdflok05:56
Kamionmdz's recommendation's pretty strong, the wiki page still leaves me gagging for more detail though :-)05:56
sabdflKamion: +105:56
opim_tthew: are you going to help us with a little Ubuntu hackin'?05:56
mdzm_tthew has personally burned and mailed Hoary live CDs to people to make sure that they try Ubuntu05:56
sabdflok05:57
makook.. 05:57
makothat's enough05:57
opim_tthew: I'm talking with Abelli (.it LoCo leader)05:57

sabdflKamion: ?05:57
makom_tthew: that rocks dude05:57
m_tthewopi: I really only write code under extreme duress, but I am happy to help nail down problems I discover in code.05:57
opim_tthew: about doing a embedded Ubuntu :)05:57
makom_tthew: that makes me want to give you a hug too05:57

mdzand he had better come back soon looking to become a universe maintainer05:57
=== Alessio [~Alessio@host113-4.pool8251.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
sabdflwe asked Q-FUNK to come back with more concrete detail on bits done05:58
m_tthewopi: the magic new live CD and associated tools seem to be moving in the right direction (easier custom distributions)05:58
makom_tthew: want to fill out your page andreappear next week?05:58
m_tthewmako: I can do that, sure05:58
Mithrandirm_tthew: could you please turn off highlighted ":"?05:59
sabdflok05:59
makom_tthew: that's the uncontroversial thing to do. then the next uncontroversial thing will be to approve your application for membership05:59
m_tthewMithrandir : yeah, it shows that I don't understand the 'reformatted text'05:59
opim_tthew: yeah, new LCD design is very cool 05:59
opim_tthew: too bad I can't play with it at my laptop (low at disk space;()05:59
=== m_tthew nods to mako
Kamionadvocacy's one of the contributions that qualifies for membership, so based on testimonials I'm happy05:59
sabdflm_tthew: if you have what it takes on the maintainership side to keep mdz happy, we can probably handle membership and maintainership in one go if it's at a time good for the TB guys05:59
Kamionas long as he keeps it up :-)06:00
=== mako is as well
mdzdocumentation has not been an issue in the past06:00
mdzcertainly not given testimonials06:00
sabdflok, so i think that's consensus06:00
makosabdfl: did you give the nod too?06:00
Kamionyep06:00
makoalright then06:01
makom_tthew: congrats06:01
m_tthewthanks06:01
hervem_tthew, I struggled too with reST, I'm an old stx user ;-)06:01
sabdflm_tthew: if you can document actual work done already on your wiki, and flesh out those embedded and coding ideas, then at the next CC meeting we can go ahead with membership and probably maintainership too06:01
mdzReST is the awfulest wiki markup ever06:01
sabdflerk06:01
sabdflsorry06:01

makoanybody here with updates on the website06:01
mdzmako: dude, this is work06:01
Kamionsince that's done :-)06:01
sabdflm_tthew: thanks, appreciate your patience06:01
sabdflthere are no CC appointments coming up between now and then anyhow ;-)06:02
makomdz: can't be work. i'm having too much fun06:02
makomdz: there's this little thing ofa  release tomorrow. you might have heard about it :)06:02
sabdflso... website?06:02
makohmm..06:03
sabdflnew look is super, can't wait to see it executed06:03
sabdfldecision is taken06:03
makothe masses want some information06:03
sabdflwe are merging three of the best into one look06:03
Kamionwe have the website competition; is it Henrik who's responsible for executing the results?06:03
sabdflthe look itself is done, we are now getting it turned into a plone skin06:03
makocan we make some sort of update, maybe on -devel?06:03
sabdfltomorrow night we'll be discussing the state of the website, and general options there06:03
smurfixsabdfl: Any preview mock-up people can look at?06:03
makoi've been getting a decent amount of mail about i06:03
sabdflone suggestion is to go back to plone + moin, can we get feedback on that idea here?06:04
=== opi going for 5 minutes
sabdflthey would share an authentication mechanism (login once)06:04
Riddellwhen kubuntu.org gets done it would be good to have it with the new look06:04
=== smurfix wants a wiki which locks pages
Mithrandirsabdfl: the current wiki is horrible, so I would be very happy with that.06:04
makoi don't mind zwiki06:04
smurfixWhether that's moin or *anything* is secondary to me06:04
KamionI would be so happy going back to moin06:04
sabdflwe would have to use Google for searching, to get integrated search of both06:04
makoand the change was more painful than using either06:04
m_tthewgoogle is pretty good at search06:05
makothe migration was rough last time06:05
dholbachok... i have to leave now... see you all later06:05
=== herve [~hcauwelie@mut38-1-82-233-119-142.fbx.proxad.net] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Leaving"]
sabdflmako: i wonder if we'll be able to get someone to convert ReST to moin automatically?06:05
Mithrandirmako: it grabs Alt-D which really, really sucks.  Yes, it's not a zwiki thing per se, but it means I try to avoid using the wiki if possible.06:05
makoi still keep finding attachements that are broken that i have to reupload06:05
sabdflcheers daniel06:05
dholbachbye mark *wave*06:06

sabdflwhat does alt-d do ?06:06
makosabdfl: i think it could be done semi-automaticaly but it would be a lot of work06:06
smurfixsabdfl: I can probably whip up something to do that conversion06:06
Mithrandirgo to the address bar06:06
Mithrandirwhich I tend to do a lot06:06
sabdflctrl-l?06:06
mdzalt-d makes you wish for [D] eath06:06
mdza common feeling with zwiki06:06
sabdfldown, not across06:06
MithrandirC-l could work, but C-l used to pop up a window in other browsers, si it's not in my fingers.06:06
sabdflso... general feeling is +1 on moin+plone06:07
makodude.. use mozex to edit pages06:07
Mithrandirzwiki is also slooooooow06:07
makosabdfl: i'd prefer to stay06:07
makosabdfl: but i'm happy to be outvoted06:07
makosabdfl: my concern is more with the transition06:07
sabdflmako: let's see if smurfix can whip something up06:07
sabdflthis would be post-hoary06:07
makosabdfl: than to using moin.. i think it's a fine wiki but things did/will break and it we're still picking up pieces from the last one06:07
sabdflany more questions on the website?06:07
sabdflmako: yes i agree06:08
sabdflrenaming pages... sucks in moin06:08
sabdflattachments06:08
sabdfletc06:08

Riddelldo we need a separate one (I think so) and if so which, ideas on the page sabdfl sent06:10
Mithrandirsabdfl: they need a bit more work, imho, but the idea is nice.06:10
Kamionthe dragons image is cute06:10
Mithrandirpossibly color them differently?06:10

Kamionhttp://www.kulma.org/linux/kde/kone.php?categ=kubuntu&kuva=konqi_together_green.jpg06:15
makoi like the one on the right too06:15
sabdflonly question is whether those colours can work together, if not, i'd favour the KDE colours over the Ubuntu ones, since we want the Kdesktop to look and feel Just Right06:16
Riddellsabdfl: with those colours?06:16
Riddellmaybe take the blues from the ubuntu palette and use them06:16
Mithrandirit would be interesting to see that06:16
sabdfltogether image? which is that?06:17
opisabdfl: Kamion link06:17
opihttp://www.kulma.org/linux/kde/kone.php?categ=kubuntu&kuva=konqi_together_green.jpg06:17
sabdflRiddell: yes, maybe use the three-arcs, with the gear motif, in K colours, with k-bling06:17
MithrandirRiddell: what would a plain ubuntu logo with kubuntu as the text and blue/green-ish colours look like?06:17
sabdflsweet mother of... puff.06:17
sabdflit's lovely :-)06:18
sabdfli think the K artist community has a strong sense of identity, and will get this right if we give them the space to play06:18
MithrandirRiddell: the kubuntu logo with the cogwheels look a bit crowded.06:18
Riddellsabdfl: by gear mofit you mean the one on the right here?  http://muse.19inch.net/~jr/tmp/kubuntu-art/kubuntu-basse.png06:18
RiddellMithrandir: which one?  mine of basse's?06:19
sabdflRiddell: yes06:19
sabdflbut i'm very open to other ideas06:19
MithrandirRiddell: http://jriddell.org/foo/kubuntu.png , for instance.06:19
sabdflMithrandir: agreed, that one has too many conflicting colours06:19
RiddellMithrandir: yeah, people seem to prefer basse's over mine06:19
makoyou guys have images at like 10 different sites06:19
mdzI suggest that we first get Kubuntu to compile, then install, then we worry about the logo :-)06:19
sabdflthat's because we've been crap about getting people a common place to upload - sorry06:20
sabdflwe will have that fixed by the next time we meet, sooner for devs06:20
makowell, you can upload into the wiki06:20
makoat least until we tear it out and replace it with a new wiki ;)06:20
sabdflso Riddell - i love the ideas here, and the fact that K community artists are playing with it, let's see what comes out06:20
MithrandirRiddell: still a bit crowded.  If the wheels were retracted a bit, Basse's could work.06:20
opibut I have to say: basses, esp. right one is my favorite06:20
sabdflreally like the idea of having Konqi tease some of the ubuntu-calendar artwork, and think it could be done very well06:21
Mithrandirand blue-ish colours06:21
Mithrandirkonqi-pr0n?06:21
sabdflMithrandir: gives a whole new twist to "spank that lizard", doesn't it06:21
sabdflmoving right along06:22
Riddellok, will talk with basse about playing with his logo design06:22
Riddellcan we get kubuntu.org to not point at 123-reg?06:22
sabdflLocoTeamLeader process06:22
sabdflRiddell: yes06:22
Riddellsabdfl: should I e-mail Louise?06:22
sabdflRiddell: we might be able to theme it so that wiki.kubuntu.org and wiki.ubuntu.com have the same content with different colour themes.06:23
makooh dude.. are we going to have suggestively posed konqi?!06:23
sivangsabdfl: are we going to have seperate kubuntu disks for distribution?06:23
sabdflRiddell: elmo06:23
Riddellsabdfl: right06:23
sabdflmako: there was nothing suggestive in the poses! it was the lack of clothes, apparently06:23

sabdflok, LocoTeamLeader process06:24
sabdflsmurfix?06:24
smurfixRight06:24
makojane and i have discussed06:25
makowe didn't come to any firm conclusions06:25
smurfixThe recent apparent resignation of the Italian team leader has highlighted the fact that we should probably make the process a bit stricter06:25
smurfixMy ideas are06:25
makobut thought it might be possible for a smaller one06:25
smurfix- require membership06:25
smurfix- require a LocalTeam page that has enough content06:26
smurfix  ( >2 persons listed who actually do something ;-)06:26
Kamionas I said in e-mail, I'd prefer it if we started locos up without leaders, and let the obvious leader emerge; it would be much easier to see who's doing real work that way06:26
opiKamion: a natural leader06:26
fabbioneKamion: +106:26
makosmurfix, Kamion: both your suggestions sounds reasonable06:26
opisame goes for exchanging leaders06:27
Kamionboth our suggestions are compatible, too :-)06:27
makoleadership in locoteams and a revised position on them is something i want to address in the next cc meeting06:27
smurfixKamion: Yeah, as people fill up that team page something like a leader should emerge06:27
makoin the next days, there will be a meeting with members of the italian team06:27
sabdflit might happen that the cc needs to suggest a leader, for clarity, if there's indecision inside the community concerned06:28
makoto talk about choosing leadership for their team and processes to avoid problems in the future06:28
opiif someone is more active are willing, he should replace currect leader (with team approve) without the fuss06:28
sabdflmako: would be a good time to flesh these ideas out in practice06:28
makoif we have a fixed time, i'll announce it with the notes from this meeting in the next day or two06:28
makosabdfl: exactly06:28
makoit would be good if people can come.. it will be post-preview release of course06:28
sabdflopi: in general, we will act to minimise the fuss06:28
sabdflok06:28
makoso we should all have a chance to catch our breath06:28
makoand then we can come up with a more solid proposal we can present to the group.. maybe something for the community/processes/ section on the website06:29
makonext meeting06:29
sabdflsmurfix: so perhaps the answer is to try not to nominate a specific leader, but get folks to work together as a team, as Kamion suggested, till we really need a leader06:29
sabdflthen get the community to discuss it and select someone06:29
smurfixSelf-nomination works -- except when it doesn't  :-/06:30
sabdflthat's when we can gently nudge something in the right direction06:30
sabdflanything else on this?06:30
opismurfix: same goes for democracy ;)06:30
sabdflTHIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY06:30
sabdfl:-)06:30
opimaybe a review of Leader work?06:30
smurfixsabdfl: Not at the moment; mroe at the next CC meeting after we've talked more with everybody concerned06:30
opiI know I'm shooting in my own foot here ;-)06:30
Kamionsabdfl: yeah, it's just the "leader of new team appears and asks for approval" thing that's difficult to deal with06:31
sabdflKamion: i think we need to run with it06:31
Kamionif a community already has enough people for there to be indecision, then the job is already easier than that :-)06:31
smurfixopi: If you can suggest a process for that which would work in your team, by all means submit it to others06:31
sabdfldeal with the stresses when they appear, as per .it06:31
Kamionsabdfl: it only works that way because we've *asked* for team leaders - I honestly don't think we need to for loco teams, at the start06:31
opismurfix: I'll think on that06:31
opismurfix: and ask others06:32
smurfixopi: we can put up a best-practices page or something like that06:32
Kamionhm, and now I actually read more of the scrollback :-)06:32
sabdflphew, i thought opi was suggesting review of the sabdfl06:32
Kamionok, you said that06:32
opisabdfl: ;-)06:32
opisabdfl: are you afraid? :)06:32
sabdflok, any other business?06:32
sabdflopi: i have my flaws, you know06:32
opiwho dosen't 06:32
sabdflAOB? I have one item06:32

sabdflhttps://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DraftHoaryReleaseAnnouncement06:33
sabdflcomments and brickbats?06:33
sabdfli thought we could have a similar announcement of Kubuntu, from Riddell and haggai06:33
sabdflquestions06:34
mdzsabdfl: on a more immediate note, do you want the preview announcement to go along the same lines?06:34
makosabdfl: i'm going to do a bit of work on it06:34
sabdfl - do we want something formal like this for preview, or informal for preview?06:34
mdzwe should definitely do something formal for preview06:34
sabdflmdz: :-)06:34
opiyou can include me for spreading the news on Polish Linux portals06:34
makooh.. this is the next month announcement06:34
sabdfl - can we get a good plan in place to cover the local media in the countries we have community members?06:34
makonot the "tomorrow" announcement06:34
sabdflmako: yes06:34
KamionI like it06:34
makosabdfl: yes. lets do it06:35
sabdflmdz: i'd like to avoid having two virtually identical announcements, preview and release06:35
opiwill Kubuntu have more about KDE and point out Ubuntu in short06:35
makosabdfl: i was planning on writing one for the preview anyway06:35
sabdflotherwise we might not get /.'d  ENONEWINFO06:35
Riddellopi: yes06:35
makosabdfl: i can do it mostly blind first06:35
opiand in reverse?06:35
mdzpreview will get a big media splash, though, and should have a proper announcement06:35
sabdflopi: yes06:35
opisuperb06:35
makomdz: we can do a different and shorter announcement i think06:35
sivangsabdfl: so use this announcment for the preview and the relsase?06:35
KamionOur next release, the Hoary Hedgehog, is due06:35
Kamionin six months time.06:35
mdzmaoksure06:35
Kamionmight want to correct that :-)06:36

mdzhehe06:36
mdzECUTANDPASTE06:36
makoKamion: we're a bunch of slackers06:36
sabdflguys, it has been nearly one year! Kamion, mdz, remember easter?06:36
opiWhad? Is that a Sarge Headhog? :P06:36
silbsI thought we were doing ubuntu.com not ubuntulinux.org?06:36
Kamionayup06:36
fabbioneYEAH!06:36
fabbionesabdfl: the waitress!06:36
fabbionewho can forget her?06:36
sabdflshhhh06:36
fabbione:P06:36
makosilbs: we've got a month :)06:36
mdzthat was April 9th and 10th06:37
sabdflwow06:37
makoin any case.. i'm going to write an announcement today after i finish shipit stuff for tomorrow06:37
sabdflok, so plan for preview announcement?06:37
opilets put it on the April the 1st06:37
mdzHoary releases April 6th06:37
Kamionin fact it's now a bit over a year since you phoned me to talk about the project06:37
sabdflopi: we have a plan for april 1st06:37
silbsmako: also you might want to add sometihng about the live CDs. 06:37
Kamion29/02/2004      Phone call from Mark Shuttleworth, 10pm06:37
opisabdfl: Wubuntu? Win32 Ubuntu? 06:37
sabdflKamion: yes, we were keeping sane hours back then06:37
=== fabbione still rememeber reading sabdfl's first email and almost trashed it as spam
sabdflopi: circle-of-aaarrrgghh-my-eyes06:38
mdzheh06:38
sabdflfabbione: elmo did, though he won't admit it06:38
mdz2005-03-08 Phone call from Mark Shuttleworth, 4:30am06:38
sabdflok, 'nuff history06:38
makounless there are problems, i'll drop the link to the topic of #ubuntu-devel when i'm done with the draft preview announcement06:38
sabdfl:-)06:38
fabbioneeheheh06:38
makowill be done before any of you wake up tomorrow for redrafting etc06:38
sabdflok06:38
makoi know mark will have go nuts with :)06:39
Kamionwake up?06:39
Riddellmako: should we have a kubuntu draft preview announcement?06:39
Kamionwaking up implies sleeping06:39
Kamionand, as we all know, SLEEPING IS FOR SLACKERS06:39
sabdflmdz: would you prefer the preview announcement to be more technical? cover more detail of new approaches and features?06:39
Riddellmako: or a paragraph in the ubuntu one06:39
sabdfllisting de-rooted apps etc?06:39
makoit will be done before the time when one would normally wake up if one were sleeping06:39
mdzsabdfl: I think it should link to the wiki for details, and just give an overview06:39
smurfixmako: define "normal"06:39
sivangsabdfl: what would you like over coutnries you have community memebers in?06:40
mdzsabdfl: mako and I talked about a similar outline to the release notes06:40
makoi want it to be a bit shorter than the full announcement06:40
sabdflmdz: ok, cool06:40
sivangsabdfl: (wrt announcements)06:40
makoand slightly more geared toward people who already know about and maybe even use ubuntu06:40
sabdflsivang: could you draft a template, perhaps, for a country06:40
sabdfl - space for media contacts (name, email and telephone)06:40
mdzmako: oh, let's not forget proper upgrade instructions06:40
sabdfl - contacts for lug groups (same)06:40
sivangsabdfl: but that implies using the local language ?06:40
makomdz: yes06:41
mdza lot of folks will summon the courage to upgrade when preview comes06:41
sabdfl - contacts for translators in the LoCo team who can translate the announcements :-)06:41
opibtw: when I raport Hoary/Kubuntu bugs, I'm using Ubuntu-product in Bugzilla06:41
opiwill Kubuntu get own product-item, or should I just ignore it :)06:41
opioups ;)06:41
sivangsabdfl: hehe 06:41
sabdflopi: just use relevant source package name06:41
=== sabdfl wonders how long it is before Gubuntu happens...
Riddellopi: use ubuntu, we'll hopefully have an account to assign it to soon06:41
opisabdfl: that's what I'm doing now, it was just a minor note, since we're off the official list06:41
sivangsabdfl: I don't see why my draft would be usable by other non hebrew speaking loco teams :) but I guess I am missing the point here.06:42
makosabdfl: you mean gnubuntu?06:42
opiHurbuntu?06:42
makosabdfl: rms and i exhcnage mails about it every couple weeks :)06:42
sabdflmako: no - "the gnome face of ubuntu"06:42
Riddellsounds like gnoppix06:42
sabdflsivang: the idea is a template for all the pieces of info that would make it easy for us to get the announcement to the right people locally06:42
opiI'm all for u(micro)buntu06:42
sabdflthe announcements would be translated, but the template is to coordinate across many countries06:43
sabdflso if you draft a template, then fill it out for Israel, other LoCo teams can see what we need06:43
opisabdfl: use smurfix, he will post it on a loco-leader mailing lists06:43
sabdflfor example, in south africa there are three main magazines that cover linux06:43
opisabdfl: and you're done :-)06:43
sabdflit would be nice to have those listed on an SA loco page06:43
makoopi: buntu06:43
mdzmako: in the upgrade instructions, we should include "now would be a good time to start using a mirror in your country"06:43
mdzmako: CC.archive.ubuntu.com06:43
opimako: UTF-8 must die ;)06:43
opimako: at least at my Slackware laptop06:44
makoman.. i like the idea of buntu06:44
makoopi: you're in the wrong channel and talking to the wrong person to be saying things like that06:44
opimako: should I leave?06:44
dokomako: for embedded?06:44
makoopi: i'll fogive you ;)06:45
makodoko: yes06:45
sabdflsivang: does that make sense?06:45
m_tthewopi: take it back -- utf-8 makes for a better, brighter world :)06:45
mdzsabdfl: do any of those magazines cover both Linux *and* your hair?06:45
opimako: I'll start a paper work to make you a god :-)06:45
sivangsabdfl: yes, it does :) so for instance we can have contact section like:06:45
sabdflback off, skull boy06:45
opim_tthew: yeah, I know -- but I don't have time to hack my Slackware for that ;p06:45
sivangsabdfl: 1) Community people.06:45
sivang2)06:45
sivang2) COmmunity websites and portal06:45
mdzmy hair is just as newsworthy as the next head-worth06:46
sivang3) Linux printed magazines contacts06:46
m_tthewopi: you blame the moon for the clouds :)06:46
sabdflmdz: the news in brief today...06:46
sivang4) TV Media related (We only one, but we can try and interest them in this maybe)06:46
opim_tthew: <song>..and I feel fine..</song> ;-)06:46
opioh, oh!06:46
sivangsabdfl: is that whay you mean for example?06:46
opiwe're going to have a big Linux fair soon06:47
opiI'd like to promote Ubuntu a little06:47
mdzwhen we reach the 2-hour mark, do we go into sudden-death overtime?06:47
opiany chance on getting bigger (~150) Hoary CD?06:47
sabdflsivang: i think we may get quite a bit of interest from the bigger media if we can combine the global thing (global team, world's best developers, geek-boy cosmonaut with bad hair) with the local thing (these guys in your home town know all about it)06:47
mdzopi: I'm afraid all the CDs are the same size06:47
sabdflbigger media per country06:47
opiI'm going to do some posters, too, so would anyone like/have to approve it06:47
fabbioneopi: do you prefer hoary on LP?06:47
opimdz: pity ;-)06:47
Kamionopi: we already have a lot of very hard to diagnose installer bugs open, which appear to be media problems06:48
mdzopi: but you can have as many as you like :-)06:48
sabdflmdz: good point06:48
opifabbione: this is the old school sound of Linux ;)06:48
opimdz: thanks :))06:48
Kamionopi: these make me pretty wary of making it harder to burn CDs06:48
fabbioneKamion06:48
Kamionopi: oh, you were not asking for bigger CDs06:48
Kamionopi: you were asking for more CDs, sorry :-)06:48
fabbioneKamion: let's put hoary on old school zx81 tapes ;)06:48
=== Kamion unjerks his knee
sabdflso guys, between preview and release it is ALL about this page: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/report.cgi?x_axis_field=bug_status&y_axis_field=assigned_to&z_axis_field=&query_format=report-table&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&resolution=DUPLICATE&06:49
sabdflman, and THAT is why i dislike bugzilla06:49
Alessioabout Linux Magazine: some of our community members write on some famous local magazines..06:49
mdzthe rules of Community Council sudden-death overtime are that the next mention of Slackware results in the immediate end of the meeting, with the speaker sentenced to converting 5 new users to Ubuntu06:49
opibtw: if there was a Ubuntu&Debain related Conf, would anyone of you'd like to join?06:49
opisabdfl: URI from hell!06:49

makofabbione: sure. what was your suggestion?06:52
opibye06:52
sivangsabdfl : ok, this makes sense. I think we should also include int the announcment something which lists in details the all new features and thins "you can do out of the box" in ubuntu. I think this is lacking bits from our publications and announcments06:52
fabbionemako: very simple. a weekly rotation of the time06:52
fabbionemako: meeting[1]  00:00 UTC06:53
fabbionemeeting[2]  = meeting[1]  + 6 hours06:53
fabbioneand so on06:53
fabbioneas simple as this06:53
