[03:06] i'm here [03:06] ok let's wait a big just in case [03:07] doing an OEM install of Dapper flight2 and have had no issues this monring [03:07] of kubuntu [03:07] wow [03:07] mine in ubuntu is just borked [03:07] i have yet to burn the image of kubuntu though [03:07] i love the boot screen [03:08] but i'll be doing a good number of updates on the quickguide [03:08] though how do you do a screen shot of it to include in the doc? [03:08] yeah [03:08] it'll be great [03:08] jjesse: with an actual camera? :) [03:08] 01:08 here [03:08] AM :) [03:08] and 30 degrees [03:09] -1 C at 0609 here, and sunrise isn't until 0759... bleh [03:10] hmm we don't seem to have the numbers [03:10] Madpilot, -1 C isn't that cold [03:10] where is everyone? [03:10] Canberra, Australia [03:10] klepas, we meant the other team contributors :) [03:11] hmm lots posted in the agenda but no one came :) [03:12] jsgotangco: for release notes are we updatign just what has changed since the last release? [03:12] have you seen DapperReleaseNotes? [03:12] yeah [03:12] there isn't that much but yeah i should update that this weekend [03:13] have you seen DapperFlight2 ?

[03:15] klepas, yeah dude good time to do so [03:15] Madpilot, what happened to Burgy? [03:15] work perhaps [03:15] ? [03:16] jsgotangco: he's a lazy SOB? ;) [03:16] haha [03:16] Madpilot, how's docbook treating you? [03:16] Madpilot: stupid question you are working on??? [03:16] I'm not swearing at it quite as much [03:17] jjesse: I just did the BitTorrent entry for common-tasks.xml - not sure if that patch has been applied yet though [03:17] yeah it can be a bitch sometimes [03:17] I posted it to the list last night [03:17] Madpilot: i just get confused on who is working on what :) [03:17] Madpilot, i'll patch it now [03:17] jsgotangco: sorry [03:17] multitasking === jsgotangco searches for the patch [03:18] jjesse: you still available for Sunday's Desktop Guide meeting? [03:19] we have a desktop meeting? [03:19] WE'RE NOT IDIOTS UNLIKE YOU GUYS [03:19] haha [03:19] joke [03:19] we've been talking about one for Sunday - 1700 UTC I think [03:20] i should be available [03:20] hmm i'm -5 UTC so i should be out of church by then [03:21] Madpilot, slobs didn't apply your patch =) [03:22] I didn't think it had gone in yet [03:22] didn't see it come across [03:22] I sent the email about 8hrs ago now... [03:23] no worries [03:23] Madpilot, next time we'll guarantee your patch gets applied in 2 hours or your money back =) [03:23] :P [03:24] i'll double your money if its not applied [03:24] and will even topup a fresh commit account [03:24] lol [03:25] hmmm... if we're not going to have an actual meeting, maybe we should stop filling the -meeting logs here and head back to -doc? === mdke [n=matt@ubuntu/member/mdke] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [03:26] speak of the devils [03:26] holy diff errors Madpilot === mhz [n=mhz_chil@moinmoin/fan/mhz] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [03:27] jsgotangco: hmm? what's up? === jsgotangco reverts the doc first [03:27] hello all [03:27] its been a while since i patched the docs here better let mdke do it :) === jsgotangco should familiarize himself with the svn again [03:28] lots of xref issues [03:28] jsgotangco, validate the desktopguide.xml [03:28] ohhhh [03:28] Madpilot, see? [03:28] =) [03:29] ahh [03:29] no issue then =) [03:29] any meeting action? [03:29] not so much we were waiting for the o great packager =) [03:29] what meeting? :-) [03:30] Nafallo, topic? [03:30] mdke, we got lots in the agenda but no bhuvan [03:31] hmm [03:31] rob1? [03:31] ah [03:31] dholbach, around? [03:32] Riddell, around? [03:32] always baby [03:32] heh, yeah true [03:32] Madpilot, applied! 10 brownie points added =) [03:32] well how about we deal with a few agenda items? [03:33] the first two have been around way too long [03:33] jsgotangco: thanks [03:33] back sorrry [03:33] dholbach, Riddell, has any progress been made on the "single source for (k)ubuntu-docs" issue? === guilhermee [n=x@200164038026.user.veloxzone.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [03:34] mdke: not to my knowledge [03:34] jjesse, whoa that was fast [03:35] Riddell, any strong views either way? [03:35] it would be nice, but I have no feel for the difficulty/triviality of what it would take [03:35] mdke: I think it would still be nice since it would stop us having to do externals to the generic documents in kubuntu, but it's not a major issue [03:35] wouldn't be that difficult, just takes doing [03:35] whaddaya mean single source? [03:35] and I don't have time for it [03:36] jsgotangco, building both packages from the same source package [03:36] right [03:36] Riddell, right, I suggest we remove this from the agenda and I'll take it up with Daniel when I next encounter him. If we can do it, we will. otherwise, in the meantime, shall we put the external back? [03:37] yes, I'll probably do that today [03:37] great [03:37] ok that issue is dealt with [03:38] agenda item 1 is "toolchain for kubuntu docs". this was about using meinproc for building kubuntu docs [03:38] i think we left that as undecided last time we tlaked about it on the mailing list [03:38] yeah [03:39] afaict I was the only one with an objection to this, so I'm happy to stand aside and for us to continue using meinproc, if no one else objects === jsgotangco has no experience with it but heard its pretty good [03:39] jsgotangco: it lacks xincludes is the problm [03:39] problem [03:39] ahhh [03:39] oh yeah crap forgot about that [03:39] so it means that generic docs can't use xincludes [03:39] and the kubuntu docs can't either [03:40] well nobody objects if edit kubuntu docs :) [03:40] if I edit [03:41] no, but if people want to work on both, they'll have to get used to two different procedures, which is a shame [03:41] plus you've got the fact that include/excluding external things from translations is easier with xincludes [03:42] if it is easier for translations will that make kubuntu docs more easily available in rosetta? [03:43] jjesse, we can make them available in rosetta anyway, but it is more difficult to specify what to include and what to exclude when you're dealing with entities rather than xincludes [03:43] now i don't totally understand it, but wouldn't it be easier to just keep it simple? [03:44] well meinproc also has some advantages, as Riddell posted. So it's a question of balancing up. [03:45] like working with KDE :) [03:45] Riddell, well i have few doubts that we can make the html docs built with the other tool work with kde too [03:46] the styling is certainly not a problem. [03:47] the issues were something to do with compression, right? [03:48] compression and splitting up into .html files [03:48] xsltproc splits up into .html files too [03:48] can the compression be done manually, or not at all? [03:52] it can be done manually [03:52] it would just take a lot of hassle with the style sheets and scripting [03:54] Riddell, well I think it should be your call, but I'm really pretty against having to remove xincludes from the generic docs [03:54] is there literally no way meinproc will be happy with xincludes? [03:55] I don't have time to do anything other than meinproc [03:55] no, it doesn't support them [03:55] Riddell or mdke is it somthing that one of you could teach me to do so i could take care of it? [03:56] or is it just faster to do it your self? [03:56] faster not to do it :) [03:56] well given that the breezy package didn't use meinproc, it wouldn't be very difficult to revert to that system [03:57] the question is, how bad are the breezy kubuntu docs? [03:57] bad packaging wise? [03:57] yeah, obviously not content wise [03:57] are the stylesheets ok? [03:57] you'd need to edit the KDE stylesheet to generate separate .html files then glue them all together with then compress them [03:57] they're not valid HTML [03:58] why not? [03:58] how about we use the standard docbook-xsl stylesheets, and apply the kde css, like we do for ubuntu-docs? [03:58] would that help? [03:58] all the stuff is in there [03:59] no, the kde css is designed for the KDE xsl [04:00] Riddell, well it's not like it's complex css. It is basically just a few colours, I'm sure we can make any necessary tweaks [04:00] go ahead, as I say I've no time for it : [04:00] :) [04:00] again, ubuntu-docs looks ok (imo) [04:00] or if it doesn't, it will [04:00] go go go mdke ! [04:01] ? [04:01] tell you what [04:01] i'll try and knock something up, and we can see what it looks like [04:04] Riddell, is meinproc actively developed? can we bitch at someone about supporting xincludes? [04:05] i don't think it's been developed for some time, hopefully it'll go away for kde 4 [04:06] hmm [04:06] well the ubuntu-docs stuff is definitely valid (x)html, so I'll try and knock something up that you're happy with [04:08] groovy [04:09] anyone else still here? [04:09] i am [04:10] any agenda items you'd like to discuss? [04:10] mmm [04:10] not really, i know a group of us are getting together sunday for a desktop guide mtg [04:10] we're going to update kubuntu doc soon [04:10] cool [04:10] jjesse, but we're not part of *that* group =) [04:11] i'd definitely like to discuss the xml/html question. There has been almost no discussion on the list about this :( === jsgotangco trolls [04:11] proposal was http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2005-December/004486.html [04:11] mdke, i really like the way you did for flight 2 packaging both [04:11] with the exception of a thumbs up from mpt, I've seen no real response [04:11] because of that we can easily compare what is better or not [04:12] cool [04:12] any views? [04:12] I'm 100% in favour of html [04:12] translation issues? [04:12] there are no translation issues [04:12] obviously we'd continue to write in xml [04:12] the translations would be fine [04:13] so we'd continue to write in Docbook XML, but ship the converted HTML? [04:13] that is the proposal yeah === mdke thinks Madpilot would prefer not to write in docbook :) === guilhermee [n=x@200164038026.user.veloxzone.com.br] has left #ubuntu-meeting [] [04:13] yes [04:14] I'm getting slightly more used to it :) but HTML is so much easier & less verbose [04:14] jsgotangco: offered to make my ODP into docbook for edubuntu, so I'll start docing finally [04:14] thx jsgotangco [04:14] Madpilot, but more inflexible :( === mhz wrote that regarding translations :) [04:14] so any views on the proposal? [04:14] i would prefer to continue to write in docbook, i've leared enough of it to continue using [04:15] mhz, i dunno about translation the current doc that'll mean rewriting code [04:15] mdke: yeah, I know why Docbook is in use - there are actual good reasons [04:15] mhz, it would be ok if its a new doc though [04:15] yep [04:15] but not an existing one [04:15] jsgotangco: okis, no prob. [04:15] even easier then [04:15] mhz, translating an existing work is much easier (go to rosetta) [04:15] Madpilot, jsgotangco, jjesse, any views on the proposal [04:15] ? [04:15] indeed [04:16] i like the html css at the moment [04:16] me too, and the speed [04:16] its basically moz rendering right? [04:16] yep [04:16] even better [04:16] yelp renders in html anyway [04:16] but if we ship in xml, it has to do the conversion on-the-fly [04:16] whereas if we ship html, we do it at the build [04:17] hence the speed difference [04:17] as i don't understand the packaging/rendering process the greatest yet, need to learn it, as long as i keep editing the docs in docbook format it shouldn't matter to me what we render in [04:17] and i have never looked at the ubuntu-docs in gnome, haven't used ubuntu so i can't comment on how yelp loos [04:17] fair enough [04:17] yeah but you have to admit, yelp has improved on speed, but still not good enough [04:18] yelp is fairly quick at displaying html, just slow with xml, understadably [04:18] any idea when Yelp is going to get search functions? [04:18] Madpilot, no, but it doesn't make a difference to this issue, because yelp will be the help viewer, regardless of what we decide [04:18] i believe upstream already has it [04:19] Madpilot, oh wait sorry, i meant Printing support [04:19] RAD [04:19] o.o [04:20] as jjesse said the other day, printing support is the most basic function ever [04:20] it really should have had that ages ago ;) [04:20] mdke: that's the last major piece of functionality missing from Yelp, so I was just wondering - as for HTML/XML, shipping HTML = faster rendering, which is rarely a bad thing... [04:20] and search [04:20] khelpcenter had that years ago [04:21] Madpilot, yeah, i don't really see any advantage in shipping xml [04:21] its l337! [04:22] also, the serverguide really has to be in html [04:22] because many servers won't have an xml viewer [04:22] or viewable in text? if i don't have a gui installed :) [04:22] bah! we only need vi! [04:22] emacs [04:22] jjesse, yeah that's what I mean, html is viewable easily from the command line, xml isn't [04:23] any more views on this item? [04:23] nope [04:23] bundle qemacs [04:23] lol [04:23] nano [04:24] jjesse, qemacs renders docbook :P [04:24] ah [04:24] some more agenda items? [04:24] Cleaning unnecessary/unmaintained documents from svn repository (Bhuvan) [04:24] ? [04:24] i think i took care of the kubuntu docs [04:24] don't clean up too much yet :) [04:24] i have no objection to removing documents which are unmaintained and are no further use [04:25] jsgotangco, what about edubuntu, what shall we do with that? [04:25] stay it for a while, i'm observing current work in bzr [04:25] as well my upstream gnome doc [04:25] promised mvo will update it next week [04:25] before we move it to his rep [04:25] can't that be hosted in gnome cvs? [04:26] because g-a-i will have a massive change [04:26] sure [04:26] let me piggyback for a week more =) [04:26] ok we'll leave ubuntu/upstream/gai [04:26] what about update-manager? [04:26] not so sure if that is being updated [04:26] presumably this is upstream already? [04:26] it was sean's doc [04:26] can't say [04:26] i could check [04:27] that would be good [04:27] they don't eat that much space anyways [04:27] true [04:27] until i verify i'll take responsibiility for the two [04:27] ok [04:27] i don't think saving space in there is a high priority [04:27] nahh [04:27] daniel recently wrote a script to reduce the size of the source tarball by excluding anything that isn't used [04:28] that has cut it down from 30 to 10MB [04:28] wow [04:28] he can really conjure voodoo huh [04:28] :) [04:28] jsgotangco, what about your accessibility agenda item? [04:32] well i haven't started that much on it yet but we decided to go wiki first [04:32] once we clean it up, the a11y team can decide if its going in [04:32] ok [04:32] that was easy [04:32] so far we're doing good on a11y [04:32] good [04:33] ok as for the 2 remaining items [04:33] the updating the status reports, I think just need to be worked on, we don't need to discuss it, unless anyone wants to [04:33] the sharing of prefaces, we can talk about on sunday IMO [04:34] since it is very much a faqguide issue [04:34] whats on sunday? [04:34] faqguide/desktopguide [04:34] jsgotangco, a meeting about the desktopguide [04:34] oh === jsgotangco havent been attentive to emails lately [04:34] too busy :) [04:34] incredibly === jsgotangco has a contract at the moment with IOSN [04:35] oh [04:35] how about another agenda item [04:35] commit access for Madpilot? [04:35] gets the +1 from me [04:35] me too [04:35] mdke, www.iosn.net [04:35] I'm not a Member yet - planning on that for Jan. [04:36] oh god this bloody member rule [04:36] Madpilot, you're a shoo-in [04:36] mdke, =) [04:36] pah [04:36] i miss ONE meeting, and you guys make this stupid rule ;) [04:36] bah we had good quorum and a majority of devs === mdke shakes head sadly [04:37] the exact time still hasn't been annoucned for the the Dec. 20th CC meeting - if it's another 1400Z meeting, I can make that and put my name down beforehand [04:38] gah [04:38] if it's going to be 2200Z, I'll be at work, I'm afraid... [04:38] don't they do them at 2000? [04:38] yikes! [04:39] it is much more difficult for doc team contributors to get membership without having commit access first :( [04:39] Madpilot is going to have to wait until february or so before we can add him... [04:39] jdub's wife is also getting active in iosn [04:40] mdke: I'll just keep spamming the list with patches until then - and complaining about XML :P [04:40] Madpilot, ok, we'll keep applying em [04:40] meeting adjourned? [04:41] sure [04:41] we got good mileage really [04:41] ok [04:41] why was the last meeting cancelled? [04:41] no one turned up [04:41] eh? [04:41] well i was in seoul... === jsgotangco remembered telling people... === jjesse [n=jjesse@mail.ftpb.com] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Konversation] === mdke [n=matt@ubuntu/member/mdke] has left #ubuntu-meeting [] === seb128 [n=seb128@ubuntu/member/seb128] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === Madpilot [n=bburger@S0106000d88b9f3db.gv.shawcable.net] has left #ubuntu-meeting [] === mvo whistles === seb128 hugs mvo [05:05] where is herr holbach? [05:08] seb128: I talked to him some minutes ago, he should be here any minute [05:08] k [05:09] seb128: how is your reading going? what book are you? and where :) ? [05:09] I've not read, as usual when starting IRC, got stuff to do :p [05:09] dholbach says that he can't connect to freenode. [05:09] I was going to when I remembered the meeting was 20 min later [05:10] what is the nice of j5 on irc? is it j5 :) ? [05:10] yep === dholbach [n=daniel@u5-32.dsl.vianetworks.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [05:11] hi [05:11] sorry, i'm late [05:11] just couldn't connect to freenode [05:11] welcome back dholbach :-) === dholbach looks around him, says "home" :) [05:12] oh desktop meeting eh? [05:13] lol [05:13] so who's here for the desktop team meeting :) [05:13] ahhhh [05:14] welcome dholbach ! [05:14] you were waiting for me? [05:14] i'm so touched [05:14] yep [05:14] sure === dholbach sniffs === dholbach is Daniel Holbach === jsgotangco would love to be part of the gnome love [05:14] ok === dholbach looks at the Meeting Agenda [05:15] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/MeetingIdeas [05:15] so what do we have achieved since the last time? [05:15] UDN [05:15] thanks vuntz :) [05:15] yeah, that was a blast [05:15] now we have lot of new people on the list [05:15] time to have rocking ideas on make the list active :) [05:16] we should really focus on getting our crazy ideas to the list asap [05:16] yep [05:16] but it seems to hard to convert ourselves from the irc-centric approach we take, no? :) [05:16] mvo for example could take the discussion about dbus/notify there === Nafallo will have to read the minutes. girlfriend is demanding today... === mvo is michael vogt === seb128 is seb128 [05:17] because that will something that will affect huge parts and if we can discuss it and get people involved [05:18] we will need to recompile a bit for both main and universe, seb128 already prepared a list for main [05:18] 23 packages for main [05:18] let me run it on universe [05:18] 62+46 all in all (-1-1 and glib-1-1) === seb128 kicks dholbach for saying crap :p [05:19] 19 for universe [05:19] 23 for main [05:19] seb128: do you use grep-dctrl? [05:19] grep-available in fact [05:19] with some | | to get source packages instead of binary === Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [05:20] mvo: do you think there will be lots to patch? [05:20] so far everything compiled [05:20] but I'm not 100% sure [05:21] cool [05:21] we may run into some issues [05:21] is there a way to remove '\n' ? [05:21] otoh gnome is going to depend on it for 2.14 anyway, no? [05:21] ie: for a file [05:21] 1 [05:21] 2 [05:21] to cat it | sed 's#\n##' or something [05:24] seb128: sorry, dunno [05:24] mvo: we could write a mail to u-d-a and just go with it in a big upload over a weekend, so there's no (too big) breakage :) [05:26] yeah, tr works for that :p [05:26] "avahi banshee gnome-power-manager gnome-screensaver gnome-user-share gpe-contacts gpsd libgalago libipoddevice liferea network-manager power-manager thoggen totem vlc xchat-gnome xfce4-terminal xfmedia xterminal" [05:26] for main [05:26] "bluez-pin bluez-utils dbus epiphany-browser evince evolution gnome-applets gnome-utils gnome-vfs2 gnome-volume-manager hal ivman k3b kdebase libgpod libnotify nautilus-cd-burner notification-daemon pmount rhythmbox screem totem update-notifier" [05:26] whoa [05:26] that doesn't look too bad [05:27] :) [05:27] those are the source rdepends of libdbus-1-1, 1 is universe, second is main [05:27] what is changing? [05:27] ah [05:27] nice! [05:29] mvo: ok, so we try the breakage first locally and then shove it to the people? [05:29] good plan I think [05:29] cool [05:30] mvo: but what happens when new dbus hit the archive? [05:30] apps are broken and need a rebuild NOW? [05:30] binary package name change? [05:30] binary package name changes [05:30] so when dbus hits the archive nothing happens [05:30] oh, nice [05:30] clean transition so [05:31] seb128: we do it the doko way: do a million uploads at once :) [05:31] but once we start building the first apps we need to be quick :) [05:31] yes [05:31] we can split up and do it over the weekend or over night :) [05:31] what happens if apps built with 2 different versions try to communicate? [05:31] of course we first need a building dbus *cough* [05:31] today!? :-D [05:31] slomo: could you advocate http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=1163 again please? [05:31] shock and awe [05:31] we get 2 busses and they don't reach each other [05:31] or BUM?:) [05:32] raphink: wrong channel ;P [05:32] in theory it might work, but in reality -> bum [05:32] oops sorry [05:32] :( [05:32] hehe [05:32] mvo: bum like app crashing? [05:32] seb128: isnt 'boum' the french way of crashing? ;) [05:32] or just dbus feature not working fine? [05:32] dholbach: yeah, but that's an english meeting :p [05:32] haha :) [05:32] :) [05:33] I had panel freezes for examples [05:33] panel doesn't use dbus [05:33] we'll see how it works out... a warning on u-d-a should be appropriate :) [05:33] see my list :p [05:33] but some applets do [05:33] applets should not be able to take the panel down [05:33] I blame vuntz [05:33] "should" :) [05:33] vuntz|away: HERE, NOW :) [05:34] haha [05:34] mvo: anyway, 20 package is no big deal, with 2-3 people on it, it's a matter of one hour [05:34] yeah [05:34] desktop team meeting? [05:34] or doc-team ? [05:34] desktop, still :) [05:34] guess? [05:35] those packages are only main? :-) [05:35] Nafallo: universe uploads! :) [05:35] sivang: no, the docteam has to rebuild 20 packages :-) [05:35] Nafallo: quite the same number for universe [05:35] yay! something for me todo :-D [05:35] :) [05:36] seb128: we'll set up a wiki page, where everybody can take his share of packages and we organize it, before we actually do it, does that sound smart? [05:36] dholbach: yes oh humble wikigod :-) [05:36] that sounds not required for me [05:36] no? [05:36] 20 packages, I can give 7 to you, 7 to mvo and take 6 === mpt [n=mpt@200-171-140-32.dsl.telesp.net.br] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [05:36] yeah + universe [05:36] and we are done in one hour [05:37] the transition is small enough to be handled on IRC imho [05:37] seb128: do you have the list of packages somewhere? :-) [05:37] *nod* [05:37] but that's because I don't like to wait for hours on wiki every time I do an upload [05:37] if you want to wiki stuff feel free [05:37] good point ;-) [05:37] I'll ping you on IRC to update my uploads :p [05:37] no, but just to share it before we do it :) [05:37] haha [05:37] Nafallo: I copied it like 20 lines up [05:37] apart from dbus/notify we need to discuss how to get the pile of bugs managed - the situation is desparate since flight 2 [05:38] <\sh> seb128: send the universe packages to ubuntu-motu ML :) [05:38] seb128: do these packages need changes? [05:38] hum, rather like 60 lines now :) [05:38] 11 minutes ago [05:38] doko: that's a good point, a few probably === sivang apologizes *again* for missing a meeting, there seem to be an exponetionaly growing number of them [05:38] Debian is like to have the patches ready though, sjoerd was working on that yesterday [05:38] oh, I've feed universe + screem to apt-get source now ;-) [05:39] GNOME is current dbus complient [05:39] what packages needs work this time nbesides merger etc? [05:39] seb128: cool [05:39] mvo: have you tried to rebuild stuff with your new dbus? [05:40] seb128: yes, some stuff, hal, pmount, gnome-media, nautilus-cd-burner, evince [05:40] need patching? [05:40] no, build fine so far [05:40] good [05:40] I was expecting that for GNOME [05:41] brb [05:41] cool [05:41] ehm, I get 404 on the dbus orig.tar.gz [05:41] where? [05:41] (apt-proxy -> archive.u.c) === fabbione [n=fabbione@port49.ds1-van.adsl.cybercity.dk] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [05:41] hm, might be temporarily [05:42] but all in all it seems quite straightforward [05:43] as i said before, i'd really like to know, what you guys think about the bug matter [05:44] i think that regular bug days are a good start, but what can we do apart from that? [05:44] dbus rebuild? seems fairly easy to do, where the package list? :) [05:44] sivang: please read the backlog, seb posted it [05:44] dholbach: bug days like every week or every 2 weeks [05:45] but we need people available/responsive the whole day [05:45] tracking what people do [05:45] dholbach: ok, thanks === paulproteus|lapt [n=paulprot@pool-151-196-244-173.balt.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [05:45] how many people (roughly) attend to bug days? [05:45] i can't really tell [05:45] since it's quite "new" [05:45] last time there were like always 10 doing stuff actively at a time [05:45] mvo: 10-20 [05:46] dholbach: what's the approach to not stepping on each ones toes when working on bugs? do you assign them to yourself for that? [05:46] sivang: read the backlog [05:46] sivang: no, we don't do that [05:46] oh, not speaking about dbus [05:46] we had categories of bugs mentioned on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay [05:46] dholbach: I can start dropping build-deps on libxdmcp-dev now? [05:46] there is enough bug to not step on another one when picking one usually === mpt [n=mpt@200-171-140-32.dsl.telesp.net.br] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["http://mpt.net.nz/"] [05:46] Nafallo: if libx11 has built, yes [05:46] Nafallo: yeah, was a bad idea to do that === sivang reads [05:47] like UNCONFIRMED ones, NEEDINFO ones, ... [05:47] and people told what they were looking at [05:47] Nafallo: fix the issue instead of workaround wrongly half of the world :) [05:47] apart from that, there were people working on MOTU bugs (in malone), other on bugzilla, ... [05:47] seb128: indeed :-) [05:47] i hope that our call for kubuntu folks, motu folks, other folks will get different people involved, so we can tackle bugs equally [05:48] but surely, as a desktop team we'd love to see desktop-bugs@ fixed asap :) [05:48] fixed/triaged [05:49] it's a bit hard to get people working on bugs, they don't seem to have a special affiliation to it [05:49] yeah, especially distro bugs [05:49] we should make "specialized lists" [05:49] seb128: the situation on universe bugs is even worse [05:49] to be frank [05:50] like "GNOMish bugs", "KDEish bug", "installer bugs" [05:50] dholbach: I'm not quite convinced [05:50] that might make sense, do you think we should have separate days for those? [05:50] maybe not [05:50] but have clear list during the bug day [05:50] seb128: if i look at my universe bugs mail box that's the impression i get, they are assigned, but not triaged [05:50] so people can focus on what they are interested it [05:50] s/it/in/ [05:50] yeah [05:51] that definitely sounds good [05:51] dholbach: malone generates a lot of noise [05:51] :) [05:51] yes [05:51] I read new bugs on malone quite often since there is no assignee by default [05:51] to figure where GNOME bugs are [05:51] and most of the flood are your syncs [05:51] i always look at the unassigned list [05:52] ... first [05:52] i feel that we need a separate team, maybe we should get t-shirts out to members of the "Ubuntu Bug Squad" :) [05:53] people in #ubuntu-bugs surely feel "lost" somehow [05:53] i saw that in the days after the bug day [05:53] some sort of reward will certainly motivate [05:53] people were getting in and thought "hello, anybody here?" [05:53] I was wondering if we should split bug days [05:53] split in what way? [05:54] like have desktopish triagging on #ubuntu-desktop [05:54] mvo: we should talk to mark about that [05:54] instead of #ubuntu-bugs [05:54] ok, so new dbus version? [05:54] :) [05:54] but that way we will always have bugs not being touched === sivang read changlog in the quickest way ever [05:54] sivang: do you have a big irc lag? [05:55] not meant to be rude, but we're talking bugs atm :) [05:55] dholbach: erm , I don't think so - maybe, why? [05:55] eh! [05:55] no , it's ok - my brain is lagging, not irc [05:55] dholbach: right, but we can still have a part of the triage on #ubuntu-bugs [05:56] it might sound stupid, but maybe we should talk bug discussions over there? [05:56] mvo: any idea on those rewards? [05:57] seb128: do you know of other bug teams around the open source world, apart from gnome? [05:57] t-shirts, a special thanks mail from leading comunity people (like dholbach) [05:57] that sort of thing [05:57] haha [05:57] menitoning on a webpage [05:57] that sounds cool yes [05:57] dholbach: nop [05:57] or a minutes from the bug-day [05:57] with special mentinoing etc === jsgotangco starts to blog gnome desktop is awesome! [05:58] but people should not do it just for getting some reward or karma, as seb128 once noted. I think he's was right. [05:58] we should raise more awareness of those people just getting involved [05:58] like those "everybody look, seb128's first upload to the archive"-mails :) [05:58] I didn't say that [05:59] reward/karma can motivate people for sure [05:59] maybe we need to have a bugs day report, where people working were mentioned (even if they fixed bugs, of if they did not) [05:59] but that's not a reason to make useless stuff only to get karma [05:59] sivang: sure not, but people willing to contribute usually have contributions of good quality [05:59] dholbach: agreed [05:59] seb128: true [05:59] but t-shirts would be nice :) === jsgotangco begs for one [06:00] I think that if we care not to make too much distinction between epople the take part in this day, we'll eventually get a nice steady community of bug squad people [06:00] guys, do bug triage! [06:00] i will talk to mark for every t-shirt personally === jsgotangco will make sure to bring a poster of dholbach during WWE [06:00] jsgotangco: WWE? [06:00] even if i have to buy them, i'll do it [06:01] sivang, world wrestling entertainment heh [06:01] eh, :) [06:01] seb128: we should do a nice t-shirt design session and i'll sent them out [06:01] s/sent/send [06:01] jsgotangco: did he win against who? :-) [06:02] dholbach: I'm not the guy you want to ping about design stuff :p [06:02] so who of you will get heavily busy with us next week (21st)? and who of you honestly noticed bug day on 21st? [06:02] seb128: thanks... we'll do it just fine :) [06:03] big silence... sure, i understand... "blah... christmas presents... blah...", sure :) [06:04] if, so if nobody has to say anything, we should move to other topics [06:04] move [06:05] what do you want to see in the desktop team next? :-) [06:05] people seem to have high expectations in the team [06:05] (hence the big amount of subscribers on the list) [06:05] but it doesnt seem to be clear what people can do [06:05] is that observation accurate? [06:06] yes [06:06] use the wiki to put task [06:06] don't hesitate to use the list to raise discussion instead of IRC [06:06] to ask for new cool stuff, opinion on it, etc [06:06] maybe some weekly bug triaging stats [06:06] how many bug we got [06:07] how many we closed [06:07] maybe i should do a day with s/#ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-desktop@ [06:07] the top 5 of bug closers [06:07] daily work discussion are not suitable for a list [06:07] I think this page is nice: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/reports/weekly-bug-summary.html [06:08] we should have a weekly summary for Ubuntu too [06:08] i just thought about it, but maybe if we could take more of our usual workflow to the mailing list, people would have a "glimpse into what happens everyday" [06:08] people like to see how things are going/moving [06:08] dholbach++ [06:08] who are our bugzilla experts? jdub? [06:08] seb128: but also like to see them logged in a mailing list, when it's easy to go back [06:08] dholbach: we already said that, and I tried to mail the list [06:08] seb128: oh [06:08] I did for the session dialog, gconf changes, asking for the panel launchers and stuff [06:09] dholbach: yeah, jdub I guess [06:09] yeah, maybe i didn't try hard enough [06:09] i'll try harder [06:09] new pages on the wiki, new things we're planning "at some stage", ... [06:10] dholbach: make sure you send it to the list as well, and try to create discussion there [06:10] sivang: i was talking about the list [06:10] ah ok [06:10] that sounds sound [06:10] mvo: you mail to the list first... dbus / notify stuff! YAY :) [06:10] dholbach: you said "wiki pages.." , that's why I Was wondering. [06:11] it was in context to what seb said before [06:12] seb128: you think jdub will make such a weekly-bug-summary happen? [06:12] no [06:12] *nod* === jsgotangco starts journey to neverneverland [06:12] dholbach: I first need to make it build again [06:12] but it's easy to have some standard queries to get stats and to include that to a weekly mail [06:12] like UDN [06:12] mvo: ok [06:12] seb128: i'll look into it [06:13] and set a big reminder every week :) [06:13] dholbach: ask vuntz about it, he already did some stat on bugzilla.ubuntu like that [06:13] cool === dholbach hugs vuntz in absentia [06:13] are there some other points somebody would like to raise? [06:14] ok [06:14] i think for a rather ad-hoc meeting this went quite well [06:14] and it makes me happy to see, that there's always enough to discuss in ubuntu-dektop :) [06:14] if nobody steps up to it, i'll write the minutes [06:15] :D [06:15] and send them to ubuntu-desktop@ :) [06:15] dholbach: also, make sure you send the stuff about what seb talked in the backlog :) === sivang seems to have trouble parsing the backlog correctly. [06:15] hey vuntz [06:15] hey [06:15] :-) [06:15] vuntz: any points you'd like to raise for the desktop meeting [06:15] ? [06:16] I have a brief question [06:16] Riddell: fire away [06:16] what's the status of gstreamer 0.10 support in apps? [06:16] seb128: :-) [06:17] dholbach: no special points [06:17] vuntz: unspecial ones? [06:17] err. don't think so :-) [06:17] Riddell: for GNOME most of them are ported [06:17] ah [06:18] don't forget to send new stuff on the list or to me so that it can be in UDN [06:18] Riddell: we will ship dapper with gst010 no gst08, is that an issue for KDE? [06:18] seb128: we could ship both if necessary [06:18] vuntz: what do you think about doing weekly bug stats (how many new bugs, closed, forwarded, top 5 bug closers, etc) (like http://bugzilla.gnome.org/reports/weekly-bug-summary.html)? [06:18] seb128: good idea [06:18] vuntz: no we can't [06:19] I wanted to add a section like this in UDN, btw [06:19] seb128: why can't we? [06:19] seb128: amarok will probably be ported to gstreamer 0.10 soon, but there's no plans for kaffeine to be currently [06:19] vuntz: pitti will track me down :p [06:19] vuntz: great! [06:19] vuntz: anti-duplication front :) [06:19] seb128: if KDE needs it, we can [06:19] it doesn't mean GNOME will use it :-) [06:19] vuntz: right, but better to not [06:20] there's a bit of time until release :) [06:20] yeah, I just need to persuade them that they'll look old-fashioned if they still use gstreamer0.8 [06:20] vuntz: depending on what you mean "ship", we will not on the CD for sure [06:20] seb128: not the Ubuntu CD, but if KDE needs it, it can be on the Kubuntu one. Can't it? [06:20] Riddell: haha, that's the best point you can make, for sue :) [06:20] but I agree it's better to have only 0.10 [06:20] vuntz: yeah, no issue for that, it just has to be in main [06:21] but pitti would be happy if we can move 0.8 to universe [06:21] because main means we will have to support it for 3 years [06:21] and everyone would be happy. Not just pitti :-) [06:21] and upstream already stopped supporting it [06:21] so that's like maintaining it for 3.5 years over upstream [06:22] ouch :) [06:23] if that gives answers to the question, we close the meeting, no? :) [06:23] ok, meeting closed [06:24] have a nice day [06:24] yep === mvo needs dinner now anyway :P === dholbach too [06:24] lunch, dinner, whatever [06:25] thanks dholbach [06:25] thank YOU! [06:25] mvo: at 6pm? that's early! enjou :) [06:26] seb128: it only means I can have a late one too :) [06:26] hungry german people === sivang awaits the u-desktop thread. === lamont [n=lamont@mib.fc.hp.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [06:56] lamont: could you give a rebuild to evolution-data-server with the fixed libx11 (2:0.99.4-0ubuntu2) [06:57] seb128: kicked [06:57] thank you === dholbach [n=daniel@i577B0A11.versanet.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === fabbione [n=fabbione@port49.ds1-van.adsl.cybercity.dk] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === raphink [n=raphink@gra86-1-82-239-88-236.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === raphink [n=raphink@gra86-1-82-239-88-236.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === fabbione [n=fabbione@port49.ds1-van.adsl.cybercity.dk] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === slomo_ [n=slomo@ubuntu/member/slomo] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === _mvo_ [n=egon@ip181.135.1511I-CUD12K-01.ish.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === raphink [n=raphink@gra86-1-82-239-88-236.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === sephee [n=SepheeBe@cpe-68-175-48-109.nyc.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === raphink [n=raphink@gra86-1-82-239-88-236.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === Simira [n=rpGirl@118.84-48-121.nextgentel.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
