sabdflYann2: go12:16
Yann2I'm Yann HAMON from the french Ubuntu team.  I'm 21 years old, 3rd year student in computer science at a french/german institute: [WWW]  Isfates12:16
Yann2I started the french Ubuntu Locoteam by november 2004 with DavidLarlet. I'm the webmaster of that website with him, and we try to get the different teams (Rosetta, wiki, forum, planet) coordinated.12:16
Yann2I'm also operator on the #ubuntu-fr@freenode channel, making some support and trying to keep that channel as peaceful as it uses to be.12:16
Yann2David and I also do some advocacy for Ubuntu in France; Ubuntu-fr was for example represented at the "Fte de l'humanit" near Paris (see [WWW]  http://www.ubuntu-fr.org/photos/2005-09-12_fete_huma/ )12:16
david`lis it possible for me to be with Yann2 ? (we are linked with ubuntu-fr youy know)12:16
panickedthumbsabdfl, sounds great12:16
sabdflYann2: is it difficult to keep the channel peacefull?12:17
SeveasYann2, how is the not-for-profit-organization thing going?12:17
Yann2sabdfl > it once was ^^12:17
Yann2Seveas > we're waiting to be ubuntu members for that ;)12:17
Seveasok, cool12:17
SeveasYann2 and david`l have done a good job on ubuntu-fr.org (except that some parts don't work in IE ;))12:18
ivoksSeveas: that's a very good job then :)12:18
SeveasThe french Ubuntu community looks alive too, so nice job there12:18
smurf+1 for yann from me, he has been very helpful getting hosting and donations for our teams organized12:18
ograSeveas, we use png everywhere on the ubuntu pages ;) 12:18
sabdflsite looks very nice. Yann2 is that mostly your work?12:19
Seveasogra, it's the map stuff12:19
ogratsk12:19
Yann2sabdfl > not reeally, I paid the design in beers ;)12:19
Seveasyou should have paid in Ubuntu CDs12:19
Yann2(just a hint to this, people are selling Ubuntu Cds in large quantities here)12:20
neuro|laptopCDs don't taste as good as beer tho :)12:20
Yann2(mostly at install parties and conferences :( )12:20
spayneneuro|laptop: very very true12:20
Seveassabdfl, elmo, Kamion +1/0/-1 on Yann2? 12:21
KamionYann2: there was some discussion a while back about the ubuntu europe thing, with respect to trademarks and such; how's the discussion on that going?12:21
KamionSeveas: wait12:21
SeveasKamion, sorry12:21
Belutzsorry i'm late, me = Andi Darmawan12:21
Kamion(yeah, I know I should be up-to-date on that discussion myself, but ...)12:21
Yann2Kamion > abandonned, but we're actually setting up a ubuntu-fr organisation...12:22
Yann2:)12:22
Kamionah, interesting12:22
sabdfl+1 from me on Yann12:22
SeveasYann2, when that's finished, a report of what you did would probably be useful for other locoteams12:22
sabdflYann2: good work on the web site and local community, thanks for your energy!12:22
Yann2we'll certainly set up some kind of agreement between de/fr too, as we probably need a common bank account, we have to plan a de/fr meeting soon12:23
Yann2Seveas > will do12:23
sabdflbe careful, when you are handling donated funds, it requires lots of care, ok?12:23
Kamion+1 on Yann2, echoing sabdfl's advice :)12:23
smurf-de not-for-profit set-up is progressing, we'll complete that this year12:23
ograelmo, ?12:23
sabdflraise any issues here sooner rather than later, if something is going to blow up i'd rather know early12:23
smurfsabdfl: exactly12:23

Kamionand we'll see how well it works anyway12:27
sabdflsmurf: for now, but i think it would be good to set up a more regular set of membership-interview meetings, so the CC can focus on issues like the forums, IRC registration, processes etc12:28
sabdfllet's discuss that at UBZ?12:28
smurfsabdfl: sure12:28
dholbachyeah, good idea12:28

ajmitchspayne: some of the documentation could do with fixes though12:46
spayneKamion: i knew and know it is evil12:46
ajmitchlike avoiding installing source into /usr :)12:46
segfaultis the meeting already over?12:46
Seveasspayne, be sure you don't violate licenses when you copy other peoples work12:46
Kamionspayne: yeah, I followed the link for that reason ;)12:46
Seveassegfault, no12:46
Kamionsegfault: no, in progress12:46
segfaultah, thank god12:47
segfault:)12:47
dholbachspayne: what do you think about getting the mono stuff into the distro properly?12:47
spayneSeveas: i always check with people12:47
ogradholbach ??12:47
dholbacherm, maybe i wasnt explicit enough:12:47
ogradholbach, whats wrong with mono ?12:47
ograapps ?12:47
spaynedholbach: i think it is an excellent idea but we must be careful. Mono may still have problems but I love Mono and there are some excellent guys working on it12:47
spaynedholbach: i believe that Beagle should be standard on Dapper12:47
spaynedholbach: and fully intergrated into the desktop - as in SUSE to make Ubuntu stand out12:48
Seveasspayne, it just tried to eat jdubs harddrive, so it's clearly not mature enough ;)12:48
ograbeagle is a pain on my laptop HD ...12:48
Kamionspayne: what's this Evolution Colt thing you mention in your wiki page?12:48
dholbachyeah, that'd be nice12:48
ograbut f-spot should really replace gthumb one day12:48
spayneogra: totally agreed12:48
spayneKamion: it is my own personal business12:48
Kamionah12:48
spayneKamion: i give advice and reports on how to intergrate Open Source software into current systemns12:49
ajmitchogra: definitely, and I'm not biased in any way whatsoever12:49
ograheh12:49
spayneKamion: i have had lots of success with home users12:49
spayneKamion: small business again, good12:49
dholbachspayne: but about ifolder and other mono-packages i don't yet know... do you think we can get them better working in the distro?12:49
ograajmitch, its te only app that can import pics from my casio exilim i bought yesterday12:49
spaynedholbach: iFolder is a trickey one12:49
ajmitchdholbach: once ifolder's licensing is sorted :)12:49
spaynedholbach: as part of it is non-FOSS12:49
ajmitchdholbach: but that's another topic altogether12:49
Seveasspayne, you might want to consider joining the marketing team12:49
dholbachahhh, thaT's the problem12:49
dholbachi see12:49
Kamionspayne: nice - good Ubuntu take-up?12:49
spaynedholbach: but from what i heard, by Dapper the whole thing will be FOSS12:50
spayneKamion: yes, very12:50
spayneKamion: i am working on a product at the moment called Evolution Desktop12:50
ajmitchspayne: have you worked with the mono team at all?12:50
Kamionthe more small businesses of that kind there are to act as a bridge to end users, the better12:50
spayneajmitch: i'm packaging Dopi at the moment so i am working with slomo and tseng12:50
spayneEvolution Desktop will provide our themeing and extra packages for those who don't have broadband12:51

spaynewith people of my own age12:52
spayneand how they view Ubuntu and GNOME12:52
spayneand got some interesting results which I hope to publish in the future12:52
spaynei tried to start the TeenGNOME project to do this12:52
smurfspayne: sounds like you've got a full plate, keep it up ;-)12:52
spaynebut not had much time at the moment, with one thing and another12:52
SeveasOk, i'd like to start the voting with a 0 -- I'd like to see spaynes documentations efforts be integrated into the wiki before giving a +1, but I don't wanna give a -1 either12:52

spayneSeveas: i can understand :)12:54
Seveassmurf, dholbach, Kamion, elmo?12:54
smurf+1 from me, I'm confident he'll keep up the good work12:54
ograjust to give an additional voice, spayne is also active in #ubuntu-motu since quite a while12:54
spaynethanks ogra :)12:54
ogra:)12:55
KamionI don't have a problem with spayne for membership - seems that you need a fair bit more experience in MOTU before any kind of maintainership decision, but that's a different matter. Working with the docteam and/or MOTU for a while would be great.12:55
dholbachspayne: i like you enthusiasm and that you're looking into many teams. i'm happy to give a +1, if you promise to make the ubuntu doc team even harder :-)12:55
spaynedholbach: i will work my little socks off :)12:55
Seveasok, that's 3 points already12:55
dholbachspayne: that sounds good :)12:55
Seveasspayne, unofficially welcome on board, we're just waiting for elmo to finish the voting :)12:56
spaynelol12:56
Seveasin the mean time: zyga you're up12:56
elmospayne: I'm a little confused by your flip-flop attitude to ubuntu, and how you distro-hop12:57
spayneelmo: that was some time ago :)12:57
elmospayne: oh?12:57
spayneelmo: in the past few months, i've really stuck with Ubuntu12:57
spayneelmo: i do have a life outside my blog FYI ;)12:57

spayneelmo: if i have responsonsibilities12:58
spayneelmo: i will carry them out to the best of my nature12:58
spayneor is that ability12:59
elmowell, hmm, I'm still confused sorry - I'm going to abstain on this one; happy to be proved wrong01:00
Kamionmembership's a combination of recognising ongoing contribution to Ubuntu, and publicly acknowledging people as members of the community01:00
Kamionthe latter does convey a responsibility in that other people see you as a representative of Ubuntu in some contexts01:00
Seveasok, voting is over, 3 in favor and 2 abstain01:01
Seveasspayne, welcome aboard01:02
spaynethanks guys!01:02

=== spayne would like to say that he WILL put all of his efforts into helping Ubuntu
KamionSeveas: spayne's approval with some of the weird inconsistencies above01:02
Kamionif he's keeping up the good work, then obviously there's nothing to complain about :)01:03
Seveasack01:03
Seveasspayne, would you mind coming back in a month and give a small progress report?01:03

david`lapgreat, thank you all01:21
seb128congrats david`lap01:21
zakameI'm Zak B. Elep, returning new candidate from 27/9.  I've turned 21 last September 22, and I've been using GNU/Linux for more than 2 years now, starting with Debian and now on Ubuntu.  My current work for Ubuntu includes localization to Tagalog, packaging Lighttpd, documenting my experience with the Conexant HSF modem, and coordinating with people in Ubuntu-PH.01:21
zakameUpdates since last application: First, as aboutubuntu is now completed (in fact in Breezy already,) now translating the BIG faqguide (with some of the FilipinoDocumentation pages on the side ;).  Second, my lighttpd packaging is almost done, fixing a new ./debian and finalizing the minimal default configuration: hopefully I'll be able to bring it to REVU today for MOTU scrutiny ;)  Third, I've reported 5 bugs at LP, 3 of them already fixed :)01:21
zakame.  Lastly, I've written down my experience on getting the Conexant HSF modem to work on Ubuntu, and am editing the wiki page as we chat ;)  I am also involved in formalizing Ubuntu-PH, setting TeamGoals as well as brainstorming on what to do with the ubuntu-ph website; in fact we'll have a meeting tonight to discuss this.01:21
zakameMy vision: In 2 to 5 years I want to see Ubuntu as a major OS in .ph, speaking Tagalog and supporting applications for education---already I'm seeing this happening via Edubuntu, and at the back of my mind I'm formulating courseware for using ubuntu in grade schools.01:21
Seveaszakame, doesn't look bad, have you had contact with the MOTU about your packaging?01:22
ogra.ph is phillipines ?01:22
Seveasyes01:22
zakameogra: yep01:22
Kamionzakame: have you done much coordination with the Debian Tagalog translators? I notice clock-setup is fully translated into Tagalog in d-i trunk, although I haven't checked if it matches your translations in Rosetta01:23
dholbachSeveas: yeah, he's in #ubuntu-motu for quite some days now01:23
Seveasok, good 01:24
zakameSeveas: yes, but just an announce iirc in UniverseCandidates...01:24
zakame... and yes, in #-motu01:24
zakameKamion: yes, but the one in d-i trunk iirc was not the right translation01:24
Kamionzakame: it would be worth coordinating with them to get it matching up - I (as installer guy) generally try not to end up as the go-between for debates between translators in languages I don't speak :-)01:25
dholbachwho of the motu crew worked a bit with you, zakame?01:25
Seveasis there anyone from .ph who can vouch for zakames translation work?01:25
zakameKamion: I am working with eric pareja (pusakat) in debian-tl on this :)01:26
Kamionzakame: great, thanks01:26
zakameSeveas: I wish jsgotangco was here :(01:26
Seveasyeah, me too, without anyone to back up your statements deciding will be hard01:27
dholbachzakame: are you mail@bluefireworks.net?01:27
zakamedholbach: no, zakame@spunge.org01:27
dholbachhrm01:27
dholbachbecause lighttpd on REVU got uploaded by mail@bluefireworks.net01:27
zakamehmmm... somebody beat me to it?01:28
Seveaslol :)01:28
zakamedholbach: I'm a bit delayed on lighttpd because I want to implement something like apache2's modular site configuration01:29
Kamionjsgotangco owns the lp ubuntu-l10n-tl team and zakame's a member of it, so presumably he at least approved that :)01:29
SeveasI'm leaning towards a +101:29
zakameKamion: yep, Jerome got me into all this after LinuxWorld Philippines :))01:30
tsengdholbach: two makes a team.01:30
ogratseng++01:30
zakameI was particularly impressed with Edubuntu, and I want to work on that after faqguide :)01:30
ograYAY !!!01:31
dholbachapart from the packaging, i remember you showing up at the bug day :)01:31
zygare01:31
=== ogra would give a +1 for that if he could
zygadarn I've fallen asleep01:31
SeveasHow about a +1 and a request for a progress report, just like spayne?01:31
zygais the meeting over?01:31
Seveaszyga, not yet01:31
Kamion+1 for zakame as far as I'm concerned after reading through some of the links and list archives01:31
zyga:-)01:31
KamionI don't feel a big need for a progress report01:32
Seveasok01:32
zakamedholbach: yeah... the channel was awfully silent when I was there though... or it could be just dialup lag01:32
dholbachyeah, based on motu/bug activity, i'll give +1 too01:32
=== zyga reads backlog *quicky*
smurf+1 from me, likewise01:32
Seveasok, that makes 401:32
tseng+1 for #-motu01:32
tsengoh :)01:32
SeveasI'm guessing elmo won't return01:32

=== dholbach curtseys
zakamemaraming salamat sa inyong lahat! :D01:34
dholbachzyga: no :)01:34
Seveaszakame, assuming that you're not cursing: thanks!01:34
dholbachhihi :)01:34
smurfI think the next agenda item is " Ubuntu IRC registrations"01:34
ogra*g*01:34
Seveassmurf, no01:34
zakameSeveas: that's "thank you all!"01:34
Seveasnext is JonathanJesse, but I'll speak on his behalf01:34
ograsmurf, did you look at the member proposal list ?01:34
SeveasJonathan Jesse has been a great contributor to the docteam, he has written a very large part of the kubuntu docs and is active and eager to do more. He has been trying to become a member for a while, but the meetings are never scheduled on times he can make it (either asleep or driving home). I would like to propose him as a member even in his absence, based also on good recommendations from mdke 01:34
Seveasand Riddell.01:34
=== zyga wonders what to do now
smurfah, sorry01:35
ograits endless01:35
Seveaszyga, you can go next, you're on the agenda01:35
zygaSeveas: okay01:35
RiddellJonathan did great work getting the kubuntu docs into shape for breezy, he was quite a hero01:36
KamionSeveas: I'm uncomfortable about approving people in their absence - perhaps if we're having an unusually-timed meeting during UBZ anyway, we can take advantage of that to invite people who wouldn't normally be able to make it01:36
SeveasKamion, ack, let's make the meeting in two weeks work for him01:36
Kamionone week, I think, but whatever01:36
Seveasone week is the forums issue meeting (a special thing)01:36
Kamionyeah, no reason not to piggyback a membership application or two onto it though, I think01:37
Seveas:)01:37
Kamionif they have real problems showing up normally01:37
Seveastrue01:37
Kamionanyway, zyga01:37
=== BenC [n=bcollins@debian/developer/bcollins] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
=== zyga should now descibe himself?
Seveasyes polease01:38
Seveass/o//01:38
zygaokay, as I said above my name is Zygmunt Krynicki01:38
zygaI'm a long time developer, I've discovered linux about two years ago as a part of my job01:38
zygaright now I'm active ubuntie and I've got a couple of ideas that I'm planing to implement for dapper01:39
dholbachcould you sum these ideas up briefly?01:39
zygaI'm working with mvo on update-manager and I also plan to incorporate my next-generation l10n ideas if I make it before the deadline01:39
zygadholbach: yes01:39
smurfzyga: what's your job?01:39
zygaI want to improve on the idea of language packs (more in a moment)01:40
zygasmurf: I'm a freelance code01:40
KamionI think dapper is perhaps not the time for sweeping changes, being a long-term-supported release - but they could be brought in on an experimental basis and integrated more deeply after dapper01:40
zygasmurf: during my work I've designed a large lingustic search system01:40
zygasmurf: I've hacked an ancient database (all C so far)01:40
Kamion(I haven't really looked at ng-l10n much yet - I think it may need some adjustments to avoid awkward clashes with the dpkg-managed filesystem namespace, but now is not the time to discuss it really :-))01:41
zygasmurf: I've written a bunch of webpages with php01:41
zygaI'm currently modifying ubuntu for a kiosk live cd enviornent01:41
zygaand providing support for my python converter for internal stuff at american express01:41
zygaKamion: back to l10n-ng01:41
Seveaszyga, your wiki page looks outdated (mentions nothing about new l10n-ng for instance)01:42
ograzyga, restricted to live CDs or also usable in other environments ?01:42
Seveaszyga, ignore, i am blind01:42
Yann2thanks again folks, good night!01:42
zygashort about l10n-ng: no clashes, totally new place in current fs namespace01:42
zygaeveryone: my ideas are outlined in my blog in somewhat more detailed form01:43
Kamionthe paper mentions /usr/share/locale-ng/, which is within the space that is currently managed by dpkg01:43
Kamion/usr/local is (in general) outside that space and might be useful01:43
zygaogra: actually it's a limited firefox working full-screen with printing support01:43
ograah, jk01:43
ogra-j01:43
zygaKamion: that's exactly why I want to become a member 01:44
KamionI don't follow?01:44
zygaas a member I could post my ideas on planet.ubuntu -- people could find bugs in my design01:44
Seveaszyga, memberhip is considered a recognition of past contributions, not the place to start contributing.01:44
Kamionzyga: ubuntu-devel@ is probably a better place for that sort of thing anyway, or the wiki for collaborative design01:45
zygaSeveas: true, I've contributed to polish translations alot01:45
dholbachi'd like to quote mvo (who had to leave early): <mvo> +1 for zyga from me on the basis of his i18n work and his i18n contributions to the various tools I maintain01:45
zyga:-)01:45
Seveas*checking karma*01:45
Kamionplanet isn't really great for that sort of thing, as it's too ephemeral and not all of the people you want/need feedback from read blogs regularly01:45
zygaSeveas: my karma was re-set sometime ago01:45
zygaSeveas: please check my translations page01:46
Seveasreading it01:46
Seveastoo bad that page isn't really detailed01:46
zygaMy ideas for the next 3 months: get l10n-ng up and running, integrate with update-manager01:46
Seveaszyga, as said before: dapper may not be the right release for a complete integration yet01:47
dholbachzyga: apart from implementing your software project, what do want to do in the ubuntu community; i saw you floating around in quite some channels already?01:47
zygadholbach: I promote ubuntu among my working environments and friends, I help with bugs, I learn new stuff01:47
zygadholbach: recently I've created the MOTURuby team 01:47
zygadholbach: I whish to improve ruby and learn more about packaging in the process01:48
zygaSeveas: that may be true, but after dapper there is dapper+1 :-)01:48
dholbachok, any other questions for zyga?01:49
ograzyga, whats your opinion on lucas' meaning that a MOTU team sould rather do its contributions in debian ?01:49
zygaogra: I disagree01:50
zygaogra: I think that 01:50
zyga1) good solutions apply everywhere - probably not at the same time but eventually01:50
zyga2) this is MOTURuby, not DebianRuby01:50
zyga3) It is not bad to share ideas though01:50
zygaI think lucas had some personal issues that made collaboration difficult but that he will get past them eventually01:51
ogranice to see that you got a objectively opinion about that :)01:51
Kamionit's also good to coordinate where major compatibility issues are involved01:51
Kamionpackage naming is the usual case for a complex subsystem like ruby with lots of packages and dependencies all over the place01:51
zygamaybe I could say something about my bad sides01:51
bhuvan* going back to sleep :)01:51
Kamioncoo, this is a novelty01:51
ogra:)01:51
zyga1) I'm inexperienced with debian and I don't remember various policies01:51
zyga2) I sometimes cut corners to get something working first01:52
ograeven experienced debian devs forget/ignore them sometimes01:52
zyga3) I'm hard to argue with, sometimes I think *I* am right01:52
Seveas2) and 3) are quite common :)01:52
zygaand last01:53
zygaI don't know all the tools that are around in modern linux dev envriornment01:53
tsengno one knows them all, im sure01:54
zygaI grew up in DJGPP and I practically built stuff from scratch01:54
Seveasyou'll learn in MOTU land01:54
dholbachzyga: don't worry, that's true for most of us :)01:54
zakamezyga: djgpp!01:54
ograbut youre a regular -motu attendant ... 01:54
ograthat will come over time01:54
Seveasogra, since how long?01:54
zygazakame: (I was writing a rougelike like everyone else :-)01:54
zygaSeveas: not very long really01:55
ograSeveas, quite long as a lurer, since some time more actively ... 01:55
ogra*lurker01:55
dholbachi highly value michael's (mvo) view on zyga, so i'd give the +1, although i'd like you very much to get cracking with the MOTUs/other-team some more... based on work on translations and involvement in the process with mvo +101:55
zygaSeveas: but I've got some packages already - not accepted yet though :-)01:55
smurfI'm +-0 on zyga; IMHO: reapply in a month or two01:55
=== Seveas joins smurf
KamionI think my main concern is that while I've seen zyga around a lot and I'm generally happy with how he's acting and talking, the wiki page is rather lighter on active contributions to date than we normally expect01:56
Kamionthe translation work's definitely a good start, don't get me wrong, and I know ruby came in late and it was difficult to get changes made at the stage of the freeze we were at01:56
Seveasindeed, a month or six weeks is nice and for enough into dapper to see how that works01:57
Seveasand maybe even bits of the l10n-ng01:57
zyga:-)01:57
Kamionso I think I'm +0 as well, but please don't be discouraged, just want to see a bit more on the CV really :)01:57
zygaI sure hope so01:57
zygaI'm not discouraged01:57
dholbachzyga: is that ok? you'll join the CC meeting soon again? :)01:57
Seveaszyga, cool01:57
zygadholbach: yes01:57
arzajac...01:58
dholbachcool01:58
Seveaswe'll see you in a few meetings then, thanks for doing good work01:58
zygaI've only came here because of mvo's suggestion01:58
Kamionas I say, the ubuntu-devel@ mailing list is a good place for publishing progress reports and ideas01:58
Kamionand you don't have to be a member to use that01:58
Kamionwell, ideas -> wiki possibly, depending01:58
Seveaslaunchpad!01:58
Seveaslong live the spec thing ;)01:58
zygaI've got a l10n spec around, not finished yet but I'll make it for the deadline for sure :-)01:59
KamionSeveas: the launchpad spec tracker is mostly for coordinating conference scheduling at present; it links to the wiki for the actual meat of proposals01:59
Seveasah ok01:59
Seveaswell, having done members, let's move to the rest01:59
Seveasfirst up is myself01:59
SeveasThere's finally progress on the IRC registration bit, Ubuntu is registered, and I am the group contact02:00
SeveasI am working on the hostname cloak things, asking every member whether they're interested02:00
zakameSeveas: coolness!02:00
dholbachcool02:00
segfaultno DDoS anymore02:01
segfault:D02:01
SeveasShould I ask developers too, they generally are not in the ubuntumembers team on launchpad02:01
Seveas?02:01
dholbachsure02:01
KamionSeveas: yes, I think so02:01
Seveasok, then I will02:01
Kamionthanks02:01
Seveasnext: ubuntu brazil planet (unless someone has questions)02:02
Seveasis there someone from the brazil team?02:02
segfaultme!02:02
Seveassegfault, can you clarify the 2 items a bit?02:02
naliothy'all be safe02:03
segfaultwe're creating something like planet.ubuntu.com stuff, where we can tell brazilian people what is going on in the ubuntu world02:03
Seveassegfault, why do you want a subdomain of ubuntu.com?02:03
Seveasother locoteams use planet.ubuntu-fr.org or planet.ubuntulinux.nl02:04
segfaultyes, if its possible. i bought the domain "ubuntubrasil.org", but it would be nice to be a ubntu.com subdomain02:04
Seveasthe standard way is ubuntu-CC.org02:04
smurfsegfault: the admin for all ubuntu-XX.org (exceot -fr and -es) domains is me; IMHO planet(o).ubuntu-br.org would make a lot more sense02:04
Seveasin your case ubuntu-br02:04
segfaultyes, and thtat is the second question, who is in charge of ubuntu-br.org?02:05
segfaultops, just saw smurf admins it02:05
smurfsegfault: See above ;-)02:05
Seveassegfault, you think you and smurf can work this out?02:05
smurfso, set up your webserver for it and I'll happily point ot to your site02:05
Seveasok, arranged that (it's 2am so i'm going to speed up again :))02:06
segfaultsmurf: sure, we have a draft at http://www.ubuntubrasil.org/ubuntubr02:06
Seveasdholbach, you're up02:06
smurfubuntu-CC.org is the standard domain for loco teams and we should keep it that way02:06
segfaultseveas: thanks, we talk later, lets move on02:06
dholbachSeveas: you dropped rss?02:07
smurfsegfault: send me email, that's easiest02:07
Seveasdholbach bhuvan left02:07
dholbachbut bhuvan left 15 minutes ago02:07
dholbachi wanted to discuss ubuntu-motu@ mailing list02:07
zakamehmmm02:07
dholbachi think motu reached quite a lot of momentum the last months and it really (imho) should have it02:07
segfaultsmurf: sure, which addr?02:07
Seveasfor what purpose would such a list be used dholbach ?02:07
dholbachwe already have people who cannot always attend IRC and it'd be great to discuss things like that02:08
dholbachor start mentoring activity on the list02:08
tsengas  a corolary, i suggested and daniel and i opened #ubuntu-motu at the open of hoary02:08
dholbachSeveas: universe organisation in general02:08
Seveasimho splitting devel discussions between main and universe the way bugzilla and malone are split is not such a good idea02:08
smurfsegfault: smurf@ubuntu.com02:08
tsengand things went at an explosive rate from there02:08
Kamionhas jdub commented on this in the past?02:08
Kamion(the bugzilla/malone split will go away)02:08
Seveasi know, was just an illustration :)02:08
dholbachSeveas: we will use malone only at some stage, but this is something different02:09
tsengin terms of new contribtuors getting involved02:09
dholbachKamion: yes, he did, but his complaints were rather tied to the size of motu back then02:09
Seveasso the -motu list will be a training ground filled with newbie question?02:09
david`lapthanks again all, time to sleep :)02:09
Kamionit is true that ubuntu-devel@ is overloaded and has problems with the signal-to-noise ratio02:09
dholbachKamion: ++02:09
ograKamion, but thats not caused by mouts02:09
ogra*motus02:10
Seveassince the forum gateway was dropped, the snr has improved..02:10
Kamionit seems not entirely implausible that a separate list for MOTU mentoring (like debian-mentors@) could help with that02:10
dholbachSeveas: more for the organisation of universe rocking, creation of new motu teams and a starting point for mentoring02:10
Kamionogra: there's a fair bit of "how do I do <simple development task>"02:10
ograi dont like the idea of fragmenting development over severeal places...02:10
Kamionwhich isn't really on-topic for ubuntu-devel@ (mind you it might not be on-topic for ubuntu-motu@ either)02:10
dholbachi see separation as something different02:10
KamionI'm ambivalent02:10
ograbut motu has grown a bit since hoary, so it might be about time... but i'd personally still wait a bit02:11
dholbachi think (as #ubuntu-motu) it makes things easier for people to get in - most of us will be signed up for both lists too02:11
dholbachany other motus here?02:12
Seveas<dholbach> ... most of us will be signed up for both lists too <-- then why split it off?02:12
ograexactly02:12
zakamedholbach: yes, -motu as a separate list ought to make motu work easier02:12
tsengmost of us = current motu02:12
tsengnot the complete demographic02:12
dholbachSeveas: because it will be easier for other folks, who can't stand the noise on ubuntu-devel@ and easier for folks that start getting into MOTUing02:12
KamionSeveas: by "most of us" he means most of MOTU as opposed to the core dev team; I know I probably wouldn't subscribe to -motu02:13
ogradholbach, it wont prevent the nois in -devel02:13
zakamethere was talk on building a motu-tools package in -devel recently, so I guess having a separate motu list to discuss that ought to lighten the devel list's load02:13
Seveasin the last few days only the motu tools thread would be appropriate for -motu02:13
dholbachogra: no, not prevent it, but some type of questions will be re-routed02:13
Kamionlike I say though, I'm ambivalent, and to some extent I feel happy to leave this to the listadmin's discretion based on what the current MOTU team think02:14
ograpeople will still write "how do I do <simple development task>" to devel02:14
dholbachSeveas: there were people asking "how can i help out" or "how do i package?"02:14
smurfI think a motu list can help re-focus the -devel list though02:14
Kamionthere seems to be disagreement between ogra and dholbach, who are the two I'd normally turn to to find out what "MOTU thinks"02:14
zakamehmmm02:14
dholbachKamion: not the first case :)02:14
=== dholbach hugs ogra
Seveasrofl02:15
zakamehaha02:15
ograKamion, thats a long standing disagreement that makes the quality of our laedership currently :)02:15
=== ogra hugs dholbach
Kamiondisagreement is not a bad thing, you know ... ;)02:15
ograyep :)02:15
dholbachi can see all your points, but i personally think, that this is the time to do the "jump" - i refuse to see the "separation" in it, because motu is already a lasting institution in ubuntu's community :)02:16
Seveastrue02:16
eiken0nenuit tlm !02:16
Seveasbut make it a training ground, so you attract new blood :)02:17
Kamionok, can you guys discuss this further and take it to jdub as listadmin if you come to an agreement to create a list? I don't think we have a consensus here02:17
ogradholbach, people hi just want to know "how do i package blah" will rather go to devel than to motu02:17
eiken0night every1 02:17
=== eiken0 [n=eiken0@142.8.102-84.rev.gaoland.net] has left #ubuntu-meeting []
dholbachhow do we proceed? defer^Wre-route to ubuntu-devel@?02:17
ogras/hi/who02:17
dholbachogra: we will spread the word02:17
KamionI think if ubuntu-motu@ existed you could probably do plenty of things with it; by the same token we can improve how we handle the SNR on ubuntu-devel@02:17
SeveasKamion, but to find out if that would work the list would have to exist ;)02:18
SeveasI'd say +1 on the list, dholbach has some good points02:18
Seveasand I'll use it to spam the motu with packaging questions :)02:18
Kamion+0 then, if we're voting02:18
smurf+102:18
ogra-1 02:18
ogra:)02:18
dholbachwill we have this discussion for each team getting a mailing list?02:19
ogratseng, some words from a motu POV ?02:19
Seveasdholbach, the MOTU is kinds special02:19
tsengi gave some, no one listened :/02:19
Seveastseng was positive02:19
tsengi thought opening #ubuntu-motu was the single most tangible boost so far02:19
dholbachi'm really not exuberantly pissed, i just wonder, how we will take care of those cases02:19
smurfdholbach: for some teams the separation will be a bit more obvious02:20
tsengand that the ml could have similar results02:20
smurfs/some/most/ even02:20
Seveastseng, ack, I think it actually will, since not everyone is as ircaholic as we are :)02:20
dholbachok, we take it to ubuntu-devel@ and discuss again?02:20
Seveasplus: mails are archived!02:20
dholbachis that the "consensus"?02:21
ogradholbach++02:21
Seveaswhich makes a nice knowledge base over time02:21
tsengdholbach: wfm02:21
Kamiondholbach: yeah, what smurf said, I think it really only gets tricky when there's significant overlap; and in any case jdub has discretion to create lists, it doesn't have to come to the CC if he reckons it's uncontroversial02:21
dholbachKamion: it's not the first time we go on his nerves with that list :)02:21
dholbachoh well... :)02:21
dholbachdate of next meeting? :)02:21
Kamionok, any other business?02:21
arzajacI am sorry I missed the beginning of the meeting.  Have we touched on the forums issue (again)?02:22
dholbachoops. sorry02:22
ograi slowly start to see the need based on the frequency of requests, but i still think its to early02:22
Seveasdate of next meeting will be decided in consensus with the forums team02:22
tsengarzajac: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingAgendas < we are at the close02:22
Kamionarzajac: we agreed to hold an extraordinary meeting during UBZ, when we can manage a time that hopefully more forums folks can also make02:22
arzajacI waited until now...02:22
SeveasI'll announce this date as soon as possible (hopefully before the weekend)02:22
Seveasarzajac, you could have asked...02:22
arzajacOkay, thanks!02:22
Kamionarzajac: somebody (er, I forget who, sorry) was sent off to gather some proposed times02:22
SeveasKamion, that was me :)02:23
Kamionright02:23
Seveasanyway, end of meeting, goodnight all :)02:23
arzajacOkay, thanks!02:23
tsengSeveas, master of the meeting02:23
