tsengDanielN_ is pretty inquisitive in #u-m, asking good questions about package-fu.12:28
sabdflDanielN_: which are the packages you are most interested in?12:28
ivoksDanielN_: is making his way in packaging12:28
makoDanielN_: it says on your wiki page that you maintain a package in universe and have been working on the Cxx translation?12:28

jsgotangcobye12:36
Mez:p Seveas 12:36
makoalright, i know anibal from a number of places.. also met up in australia and other places before that12:36
\shDanielN_: have a good night night12:36
makobeen communicating off and on about ubuntu in a number of contexts for a while12:36
sabdflanibal: it will take some time for you to become a developer with upload to main, you'll need to start in motu, and go through the process, is that ok?12:36
anibalI'm also getting involved with the debian-kernel team, and later with the ubuntu-kernel team12:37
makoanibal: great.. that's a great way to contribute :)12:37
tsengI dont know anibal, but thats an impressive list.12:37
mdkeawesome12:37
sabdflalso, because debian has the benefit of maintainer exclusivity, we count on them to inject the pride and quality, then we work across packages12:37
dholbachcool, anibal :)12:37
\shquite interessting work on his debian page12:37
elmoanibal: are you aware we don't have a BML in Ubuntu and anyone is free to work on any package?12:38
sabdflso that means that none of us has a veto on a given package in ubuntu12:38
elmos/aware/\& and okay with the fact that/12:38
anibalelmo, yes I know12:38
sabdflwe can only do that because we have a much smaller set of maintainers, and because we get the packages from debian with the quality builtin, otherwise it would be a race to gentoo-land12:38
ograsabdfl, MOTU doesnt personalize packages... so no veto ;)12:38
dholbachwhat's a BML? a black mailing list or what?12:38
anibalthat's okay with me12:38
elmodholbach: big maintainer lock12:38
sabdfldholbach: big maintainer lock12:38
dholbachah ok :)12:39
sabdflit's how debian ensures the quality of its packages12:39
sabdflbut it would not work with the ubuntu model12:39
dholbachyes12:39
dholbachi wasn't aware of that abbreviation12:39
sabdflanibal: ok cool, it will be great to have someone with your experience on board. have you met any of the motu yet?12:39
makoi'm a little at a loss for what the best process is in terms of membership12:39
tsengmako: it will be hard since he wants to touch things in main12:40
=== Keybuk [~scott@descent.netsplit.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
tsenghe'd have to work via someone else, which might be odd as he has the BML12:40
makotseng: yeah, that's a maintainership issue.. and we trust his packaging skills (he's our upstream  for those packages)12:40
sabdflwell, his debian packages that come into our main are already a way for him to have a positive impact on ubuntu12:40
tsengsurely.12:41
=== mako nods
sabdflif anibal wants to contribute to ubuntu, then the process would be the same for him as for anyone12:41
tsengi have no problem with member status for strong debian contributors with interest.12:41
anibalsabdfl, I have met mako, elmo, Kamion, Keybuk and many other during debconf4 and lca200512:41
Keybukso, a question that's worth asking, is what he hopes to do in Ubuntu that he can't do by maintaining the same packages in Debian12:41
sabdflwork with motu, become a maintainer and developer there, then become an uploader to main in time12:41
=== prevod1 is now known as prevod
Keybukanibal?12:41
makoKeybuk: i have a few answers for that :)12:42
anibalKeybuk, I would like to get more involved with ubuntu directly12:42
\shI would like to hear his opinions on this bl**dy thread on d-d....how can ubuntu/debian debian/ubuntu work together in a human way12:43
Seveasanibal, prepare to be spammed by the MOTU :)12:43
ivoks:)12:43
mako\sh: that's another meeting dude12:43
tseng\sh: eh we need to save that for later12:43
ogra\sh, not now12:43
tseng\sh smackdown!12:43
\shthat was only loud thinking 12:43
dholbachSeveas: spammed?12:43
sabdfl\sh: relax about that, it will settle down once everyone has had a chance to vent spleen12:43
Mezdholbach, when John got talking abotu backports, he got spammed by MOTU (glares at ogra) lol.. to join them too12:44
ograheh12:44
Seveasdholbach, notice the --> :) <-- it's a good thing too push new members to become MOTU's12:44
anibal\sh, I don't see much of a problem with the interaction between debian ans ubuntu, I think is beneficial for both debian and ubuntu12:44
ograMez, thats not spamming :)12:44
\shanibal: forget about it right now :) 12:44
Mezsorry ogra, not spamming, just being espescially persistent (aka apamming)12:44
sabdflanibal: ok, i think it';s too soon to approve membership, but i'm personally happy to have you here and hope you'll enjoy working with the motu12:44
Nafalloogra: ... that's recruiting ;-).12:44
ivoksi think anibal is really eager to go to work :)12:45
tsenghm there is a really long list, maybe we need to focus more.12:45
ograMez, i never give up on fresh meat for the universe ;)12:45
anibalsabdfl, okay, NP12:45
sabdflonce you have done some work with them we'll confirm membership for you, and devel access would be confirmed by the tech board12:45
Keybukanibal: after speaking with you at LCA I'm a little worried that you only with to become an Ubuntu maintainer because we've patched a couple of your packages in the past; when that wouldn't change, because we don't have any kind of Maintainership or NMU policy in Ubuntu -- people would still upload changes12:45
sabdflthe last step would be uploading to main12:45
Keybukotoh, you're technical skills are good, so you'd be a great asset if you want to contribute :)12:45
dholbachanibal: it will be cool to have you around in MOTU world :)12:45
Keybukand as mentioned at LCA, if you could package rpm 4.4 for us, that'd be great <g>12:45
sabdflKeybuk: anibal says that's no problem, i'll take him at his word on it12:45
anibalKeybuk, that was mentioned before you arrived12:46
sabdfli think we're ok on that front12:46
makowell, i'm happy to recognize anibals contributions through debian12:46
sabdflanibal - welcome to ubuntu, the motu are the place to get going, then once you've made some distinct contribution there we can confirm membership, maintainership in universe, then maintainership in main12:47
anibalKeybuk, I'm very grateful about the ubuntu patches for my debian packages :)12:47

makoi don't understand the difference12:54
makobut i appreciate the work :)12:54
jsgotangco*grin*12:54
sabdflok, who's up now?12:54
makosabdfl: nalioth12:54
naliothi only own PPC machines and have built a few binaries for them, but i'm not really into packaging12:54
makonalioth: that's absolutely fine, packaging is only one of many ways to contribute12:54
tsengnot into yet, or disinterested?12:54
sabdflnalioth: do you hang out on both the channel and the forums?12:55
makotseng: packaging is for weenies :)12:55
ogramako, bah12:55
tsengmako: oh man, ill get you later.12:55
=== mako makes many enemies quickly
Meznice to know what you think of the MOTU mako :P12:55
ograheh12:55
naliothI would like to see ubuntu become more dominant in the linux world, and in doing so, become more user-friendly (although it is the most user-friendly distro i've used)12:55
=== jsgotangco will never package then
naliothsabdfl: i've been thinking about writing a couple wiki articles, don't hang around much on the forums12:56
sabdflok12:56
makonalioth: your page seems a little thin12:56
sabdflnalioth: to be a member, you need to be able to point to some "substantial contribution", as well as have a clear idea for where you'd like ubuntu to get to in your community12:56
makonalioth: that's not to say that your contributions aren't substantiall.. just that it's not visibly documented on your page at the moment12:56
jsgotangcohe's been pretty active in #ubuntu though i noticed lately12:56
SquishyWaffleI hate to interject but helping new people is a big deal.12:56
makoSquishyWaffle: nobody is objecting to that12:57
MezI agree with SquishyWaffle 12:57
mdkethere is no disagreement12:57
makoMez: everybody agrees with SquishyWaffle :)12:57
MezIMO, the "n00bs" are the people we want to be supporting the most12:57
Mezand they ned more focus12:57
SquishyWaffleNewcomers are impressed at our newbie friendliness and thanks to people like nalioth, we can say with confidence that we fit this description.12:57
sabdflleast of all me :-)12:57
makoMez: everybody agrees with that12:57
makosabdfl: no, least of all *me*12:57
=== SquishyWaffle shuts up :)
sabdflnalioth: what i'd be looking for is a plan to make your contribution somehow institutional12:58
elmomako: no, ME, damn you12:58
Mezsabdfl, what do you mena by "institutional"12:58
elmo(not that I have any idea what you're talking about)12:58
naliothwhat mez said :P12:58
mdke*laughs* @elmo12:58
sabdflturn it into something that makes an ongoing difference to people12:58
makoelmo: alright, you win. you are the least of all12:58
sabdfleven if it's making a commitment to being in #ubuntu a few hours a week12:59
alleewhere is the translation in xkb/symbol/* of:  key (like <i65>) to keycode (of xev) defined?  Once I knew :(12:59
sabdflor helping to structure the FAQ's12:59
alleesorry wrong channel :(12:59
sabdflbeing a member is quite a serious responsibility12:59
jsgotangcoaye12:59
Mezah thanks sabdfl that's what I needed (so i cna answer that when it comes o my "questioning"12:59
makonalioth: also, providing testimonials and such is a good way to document your participation12:59
sabdflbecause the members select the CC, who are ultimately the group that determines policy and direction for the project12:59
sabdflthe board of directors, sort of12:59
makonalioth: from current member who also hanging out on the channel01:00
naliothmako: you mean from other members?01:00
sabdflthe members vote to confirm any nomination i make01:00
sabdflto the CC (elmo :-)01:00
makonalioth: sure.. operators, etc01:00
nalioththere are some of them here now01:00
naliothor were01:00
sabdfldevelopers / maintainers vote to confirm nominations to the Tech Board01:00
sabdflso when considering people for membership, i sort of like to be able to see where they want ubuntu to go01:00
sabdflbecause that will help us pick good CC members01:01

sabdflthat's a substantial contribution01:01
makonalioth: great, yes01:01

makoMez: it's not a mutually exclsive group :)01:02
Meznalioth - do you think you have what it needs to "lead" them thoguh01:02
sabdflbasically, take that 2 hours, and become part of the formal team with it01:03
Meztrue mak, but that was acually one of the things I'd like to see in ubuntu01:03

Seveashe's a good helper01:03
makoMez: nothing keeping you from taking a leadership role in thie regard to if it is line with the type of contributions you'd like to make01:03

\shogra: i didn't cause I never was inside the hard circle ;) gentoo e.v. is germany ;)01:12

\shmotaboy: understandable01:13
motaboyand then camed ubuntu :D01:13

makoalright, sabdfl the floor01:34
Amaranth?01:34
makoit's any other business time01:34
makoand sabdfl has other business01:34
makoabout the doc team01:34
=== Seveas has other business too
sabdflok, just a heads up for the CC members and the community01:34
sabdflthe doc team has done some fantastic work, and has also struggled a little bit for direction and leadership01:35
sabdfli've been watching quietly to see how things would unfold01:35
sabdflrecently they seem to be more unwinding than unfolding, so i think we should ask them to come to the CC formally01:35
mdke*grins*01:35
sabdfllet's try put a plan in place which gives them the direction and authority to make decisions that i think they need01:35
=== mako nods
mdkesabdfl, i had a good chat with jdub about this today01:36
sabdflbut also makes them aware of the fact that they need to work within a framework, especially if they want stuff running on core servers01:36
tsengdoes anyone have a summary of the issue we are trying to resolve?01:36
mdkei can try01:36
sabdfli was especially concerned about the "people with email addresses @ubuntu.com" because every member is entitled to an email address @ubuntu.com (not just canonical folks)01:36
sabdflelmo is looking guilty across my dining room table at this moment :-)01:37
mdkeis that related to docteam?01:37
sabdflnonetheless, this is a team effort, and the doc team is very much part of that team01:37
sabdfltseng: formats, structures, goals, tools01:37
tsengsabdfl: so problems coming to a concensus?01:38
sabdfli don't want to prejudge the issue, i'd like them to bring it to the CC01:38
sabdfltseng: more problems getting ideas agreed on and executed01:38
tsengsure.01:38
mdkei think that is slightly harsh01:38
jsgotangcosabdfl: at the moment, one of our top gun just quit01:38
makotseng: there was a mini flame war about yelp that mark is probably alluded01:38
sabdflin particular, there have been some cases where they decided to use a tool, then ran into difficulty getting that tool setup on core servers01:38
mdkethe problem has been a lack of direction in general01:38
sabdflwe can't easily support PHP stuff in our core server set, for security reasons, etc01:38
Seveaswouldn't it be a good idea to have a docteam meeting to create directions for the near future?01:39
jsgotangcowe'll just have to do what we currently have and create  a roadmap for future releases01:39
tsengwhat about on the virtual servers?01:39
sabdflsince it is entirely a volunteer team, i don't feel that we can instruct them, only try to cooperate01:39
tsengif something is already developed.01:39
jsgotangcoSeveas: we plan to hold a meeting this weekend or next01:39
sabdfland find a path that will give them excellent justice01:39
sabdflso to speak01:39
makojsgotangco: that sounds great01:39
sabdfljsgotangco: good idea01:40
sabdflto which i'd like to invite the CC members01:40
jsgotangcoat the moment, we now only have 3 active contributors to svn01:40
jsgotangcothat is a problem01:40
Seveasjsgotangco, ah nice, please announce it in the topic here and at ubuntu-{doc,devel}@lists01:40
makosabdfl: i agree completely about the volunteer thing01:40
jsgotangcoSeveas: yes, i'll cross post01:40
mdkei slightly disagree, we need instruction to some extent01:40
makosabdfl: i think we need to take a much bigger role in sitting down with them to set clear goals01:40
sabdfljsgotangco: can i ask you, sean wheller and others to draft up a wiki page listing the issues, as well as your preferred team plan, irrespective of issues in the past with @ubuntu.com email addresses :-)01:40
makosabdfl: and then working with them through the entire process01:40
mdkebecause otherwise what happens is, we develop our own methodology and this then gets shot down01:40
jsgotangcosabdfl: sean wheller has just quit01:41
sabdfljsgotangco: let's see if he's at least help us frame this plan, he's got a good handle on the discussion01:41
makosabdfl: the docteam is repeatedly complaining that they an island, or underappreciated, or have a strained relationship with the rest of the project01:41
Seveasjsgotangco, me, nalioth probably and probably more of the soon-to-be newbie-help squad can assist too01:41
sabdflmako: the CC is the right place for them to start building that bridge and getting the support they need01:42
jsgotangcoi'll email sean and pick up the pieces of past conversations, its all there01:42
makosabdfl: i agree.. :)01:42
sabdflthey've never interacted with us as a group01:42
sabdfljsgotangco: let's try to heal any wounds and make a real effort to get agreement on this01:42
mdkethat would be appreciated01:42
mdke:)01:42
sabdfli read the most recent thread, and saw lots of CAN! CANNOT! CAN! CANNOT! type discussions01:42
jsgotangcoheh01:42
makoyes01:42
sabdfland my feeling is that folks who want to do the work should be picking the tools01:42
sabdflbut again, let's not prejudge the issue01:43
=== mako agrees with sabdfl
mdkewhoa01:43
mdkethat's not the message that has come down to us01:43
sabdflmdke: in what way?01:43
mdkelots of tools/methodologies have been rejected01:44
mdkeoften rightly01:44
sabdflthe ubuntu project is getting big enough that there are going to be conflicting ideas01:44
sabdflso teams need to do a bit of work to win other parts of the project over to their side01:44
mdkewell we try01:45
makomy sense is that the docteam is in a strange power situation01:45
sabdflif you want to use tools, but the sysadmins are not comfortable running them on the core network, we have a whole suite of virtual servers available for LoCo teams that can be commandeered01:45
mdkebut my personal view is that as far as methodology is concerned, direction from up top would work well01:45
tsengi suggested that above :P01:45
tsengi think it would be very easy to point a subdomain at a virtual server and enable any tools they need in a sandbox.01:46
mdkemako, can you explain?01:46
tsengw/o making elmo scream01:46
makoi've sense this recurring theme of the docteam not being part of the core ubuntu community and running into disagreement when dealing with "the project" or "canonical"01:46
sabdflmore importantly, rather than getting into a fight with one or two people, we need to help the doc team formulate their plans and communicate them clearly so we can help them make it happen01:46
mdkesabdfl, ++01:47
sabdflmako: partly, i think that's because there's not been a full time person on the team01:47
sabdflnot to lead, but just to be a bridge to other people in other parts of the project01:47
Seveas++ from me too, i really look forward to the docteam meeting01:47
mako"we do this work, create a methodology, they say no" .. i'm not sure that's an very accurate or even useful narrative.. but it's one i've heard in the last couple weeks on that list01:47
mdkethe loss of enrico was a big one01:47
makomdke: yes01:47
jsgotangcovery01:47
sabdfli'm happy for one of the canonical guys to take a more regular role in working with the docteam01:47
sabdflanyhow01:47
sabdfllet's not have the meeting now01:48
makosabdfl: yes01:48
mdkesabdfl, we would be VERY happy :)01:48
=== mako nods
sabdfljsgotangco: you're on the doc team, right?01:48
jsgotangcoat the moment, i will handle the whip01:48
mdkei was delighted when henrik started getting involved01:48
jsgotangcosabdfl: i handle the whip for now01:48
makojsgotangco: thanks ;)01:48
makomdke: me too01:48
sabdflcould you bring everyone together? try to get sean and jdub and everyone else who's been part of the discussion01:48
mdkehe has lots of great ideas01:48
makosabdfl: is right.. htis is another meeting01:48
makoi want to be there too01:48
sabdflask them to do a wiki page which states - even handedly - the points that have been discussed01:48
makoi can even help organize it if you want01:49
jsgotangcosabdfl: will do and send the email by today01:49
sabdfllet it state both sides where there are divergent views01:49
makojsgotangco: excellent01:49
mdkecool01:49
sabdfland then let's get the CC to try and help give it direction01:49
smurfixI can help with virtual server stuff if necessary01:49
makosmurfix: excellent!01:49
=== smurfix has been doing lots of that lately
jsgotangcogreat01:49
makowinner01:49
makoalright01:49

makosmurfix: i will kick them01:50
Seveasmako, yes, the list of members-that-need-to-show-up seems to be groing01:50
makotseng: i'll give him a members file if that's ok01:50
smurfixmako: PLease do that, it starts getting urgent01:50
tsengoh nice01:50
makotseng: it's a text file but it's, uh, er, canonical (!)01:50
Seveasisn't it an idea to throw out people that don't show up multiple times?01:50
smurfixmore so if we set up one for the doc people01:50
naliothhis puter doesnt want him to speak01:50
tsengmako: i mean he was on the list01:50

makoSeveas: no.. go ahead01:51
Seveasmako, yes, the list of members-that-need-to-show-up seems to be growing01:52
Seveasisn't it an idea to throw out people that don't show up multiple times?01:52
makoSeveas: we move them to the bottom01:52
Seveas(admitted, the list is still small now :))01:52
makoSeveas: if they haven't showed up.. and if they still aren't there after some weeks, we toss em01:52
