"We're passing the buck since we have no idea." [09:01] s/warflame/flamewar/ [09:01] yeah, the only solution would appear to be local-loop, and that's frakking expensive [09:01] sivang: mdz posted a summary of the possibilities [09:02] sivang: it's a good start [09:02] upwards of 100 GBP a month [09:02] Whee [09:02] 100 GBP for theconnection?? [09:02] lucas: oh, it's on the same page then - 3 possibilities === hub discovered that he is not connected to the CO next door but 5.3km away [09:02] raphink: yup [09:02] Keybuk: ouch [09:02] Our work connection is ~ 200GBP per month [09:03] StevenK: office != home [09:03] Mmmmmm, 2Mbit SHDSL.

[09:03] raphink: glitch in the systeme [09:03] sivang: it doesn't seem to be on ubuntu-motu === StevenK pays $55AUD for 1.5Mbit [09:03] raphink: yeah === StevenK waves to mdz. [09:03] I'm assuming that sabdfl isn't going to be able to make it due to travelling [09:03] hub: :D :D [09:03] hey mdz [09:04] mdz: safe bet [09:04] that wouldn't be a first timer :) [09:04] hi elmo [09:04] hey elmo [09:04] raphink: I have ADSL now ... and that's what's not working [09:04] where is sabdfl travelling to this week? [09:04] Keybuk: ic [09:04] looks like we have a full agenda [09:04] raphink: I need to get something other than ADSL to have a reliable net connection [09:04] ajmitch: the moon? [09:04] ajmitch, asia tour ? [09:04] ajmitch: asia somewhere I think [09:04] right [09:04] mdz: does sabdfl ever make it even when he's not travelling? :) [09:04] Keybuk: cable? [09:04] Keybuk: sometimes, yes [09:05] Keybuk: lol :) there were a couple of times IIRC [09:05] so let's get started [09:05] Ok [09:05] ok [09:05] hub: no cable in my area, annoyingly [09:05] What order are we doing things in today, then? [09:05] Keybuk: :-/ === cheche [n=cheche@134.Red-80-33-115.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [09:05] I figure the order on the wiki is as good as any [09:05] hub: the alternative is for an ISP to actually takeover the line from the exchange to my house and repair it ... BT won't do it [09:05] pitti's sudo stuff first [09:06] Cool. Core candidates. [09:06] it looks like there are a few people who have proposed themselves for ubuntu-core-dev who haven't otherwise appeared in the community [09:06] dsaa isn't here, anyone know anything about the other two? [09:06] no core candidates who are motus already afaict [09:06] mjg59: I'd say at least one core candidate... [09:06] dholbach: are you around? [09:06] yes [09:06] I will mail them. [09:07] dholbach: at a previous meeting, you helped us with contacting these folks and explaining [09:07] dholbach: could you make that a todo item for the monday before each TB meeting? [09:07] Ok. [09:07] thanks [09:07] what are/should we do about the backlog of existing ones? [09:07] didn't we talk about removing people if they failed to come to meetings/ [09:07] dholbach is going to mail them, and then we'll remove them [09:08] we agreed that folks should apply for MOTU before core [09:08] hmm, we could do with a "notes" field for each person [09:08] btw, a quick note. I'm at the office now, I hope that nothing preempt my sitting at this keyboard for the meeting [09:08] yeah [09:08] Right. developer candidates? [09:08] yep === lucas is, too === hub is applying for motu too [09:08] :) === StevenK three [09:08] 3 french people at least :) [09:09] sivang, hub, lucas, raphink, vuntz, StevenK, anyone else? [09:09] mjg59: were any candidates processed at the meeting I missed? [09:09] StevenK: that's four :) [09:09] I'm not sure which of those in the queue are new and which are stale [09:09] I added myself two days ago or so. [09:09] mdz: I think we deferred a couple, it was a while ago now [09:09] raphink: I consider myself Canuck now [09:09] I saw in the last TB meeting's log that vuntz said he didn't have enough time to join the team, and he asked to be removed from the list. did he change his mind ? [09:09] hub: oh ok ;) [09:09] lucas: I think not. [09:09] hub: you're still french-speaking though [09:10] I'm stale , I need to do more MOTU contribs before this can be evaluted again. [09:10] mjg59: so that was what, 2005-12-20? [09:10] mdz: Yup [09:10] mjg59: we definitely processed some at the last TB meeting [09:10] sivang and vuntz can be safely removed. [09:10] that gives us: [09:10] jjmmma Lucas Nussbaum Kiew Dino Solon A. Agcambot Hubert Figuiere Raphal Pinson Manu Cornet freeflying Steve Kowalik [09:10] dholbach: thanks [09:10] hub, lucas, StevenK are here [09:10] anyone else? [09:11] mdz: i'm here too [09:11] raphink is Raphal Pinson [09:11] ok [09:11] ty lucas [09:11] looks like lucas is up first [09:11] ok [09:11] lucas: care to tell us a bit about yourself and what you've been up to? [09:11] I've prepared a wiki page to summarize my candidacy. It's probably faster. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucasNussbaum/TBCandidacy if you want [09:12] ooh, shiny [09:12] 24 years old, french, phd student in CS [09:12] I've noticed you've done quite a bit of wiki content [09:12] I don't have a summary for my candidacy [09:12] I've been working on MOTU-related stuff and debian collaboration stuff [09:13] (like working with raphael hertzog to start flamewars :/) [09:13] hub: me neither ;) [09:13] lucas: hehe [09:13] heh === StevenK only has his wiki page. [09:13] StevenK: you're not the only one so that's fine ;) === ogra likes the hot discussions he has with lucas in -motu :) [09:14] lucas: So what Ruby stuff have you actually been doing so far? [09:14] and lucas is definately very encouraged and around a lot all day ... [09:14] in Ubuntu, just a few merges that were needed [09:14] Is stuff being significantly altered inside Ubuntu, or is it mainly helping to merge stuff from Debian? [09:14] in Debian, packaging of stuff I'm upstream for (feed2imap, libfeedparser-ruby, libxmpp4r-ruby) [09:15] merging stuff only [09:15] Ok, cool [09:15] lucas: which parts of MultiDistroTools are your work? [09:15] mdz: everything [09:15] lucas also provided a nice web interface to work with merges more easily lately [09:15] nice work [09:15] mjg59: since I have 'contacts' with debian ruby maintainers, it's easier to keep the divergence low [09:16] http://revu.tauware.de/~lucas/versions/ very useful :) [09:16] lucas: you note on your wiki page that you aren't sure you'll be able to contribute in the long term. do you care to elaborate? [09:16] I'm sure I'll be able to contribute on the long term. [09:16] what I'm not sure of, is whether I'll be able to do general MOTU work on the long term (merge/syncs) [09:17] however, I hope to be able to help when the backlog is quite big, for example [09:17] is this because of an expected lack of time, or other reasons? [09:17] yeah, lack of time, as always [09:17] lucas: I see that you're in the Debian NM queue [09:17] working more on Ubuntu means working less on other projects or my thesis ;) [09:17] but you believe you have time now? [09:17] yeah, I have [09:18] lucas: how does your intention to join Debian fit into your strategy for improving collaboration between the projects? [09:18] hehe a timeline is needed here [09:18] beginning of the summer: I start packaging stuff inside pkg-ruby-extras debian team [09:19] then, I get on NM, since you better start early [09:19] then I discovered the bad state of ruby in breezy (that was in september) [09:19] so I got involved into MOTU [09:20] I've been using Ubuntu since no-name-yet.com, but when everything looks fine, you don't feel the need to get involved [09:20] (that's all) [09:21] ;) [09:21] thanks === LaserJock [n=mantha@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [09:21] I don't think I'll be a DD soon, become of the average time you usually spend in NM [09:21] would anyone like to say anything further about lucas' involvement with MOTU so far? [09:21] as orgra already pointed out, lucas has been very encouraged on motu-issues [09:21] being a DD probably help with debian collaboration, but it's mainly human issues currently, as I see it === tseng [n=tseng@brandonhale.us] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [09:22] lucas's MDT have been quite helpful, along with sistpoty's, in the Dapper merges. I use them both constantly. [09:22] mjg59,Keybuk: I think that's sufficient discussion; agreed? [09:22] agree [09:22] oh, yep. he did really rocking work with it [09:22] mdz: Yup [09:23] votes? [09:23] +1 from me [09:23] crimsun: are they a better incarniation of the motu-tools package? [09:23] +1 [09:23] +1 also [09:23] Welcome lucas! [09:23] :-) thank you all. [09:23] sivang, nope, another set of tools [09:23] lucas: welcome [09:23] welcome lucas :) [09:23] welcome lucas [09:23] :D [09:23] hub: you're next [09:23] ok [09:24] That sounded omnious. [09:24] StevenK: ;-) [09:24] hub: you maintain abiword? [09:24] though I haven't seen many packages from hub (didn't have time to review more), what I've seen was very clear and good packaging [09:25] hub was at UBZ, iirc. [09:25] mdz, he's upstream :) [09:25] mdz: as upstream, I'm one of the maintainers, yes [09:25] Keybuk: yes [09:25] came to several of my BOFs [09:25] I'm very happy with hub's contributions. He worked on a bunch of photo tools and libraries, he works well with upstream, his packaging improved over the weeks, and I'd personally be very happy to have him on board. [09:25] Keybuk: I was [09:25] he even hosted a drinking BOF there [09:25] at home :) [09:25] ajmitch: and pizza BOF [09:25] Yeah :) [09:25] hub: do you have any specific interests or plans for Ubuntu contributions that you can tell us about? [09:25] hub: in UBZ ? :) === ajmitch found hub's packaging to be of good quality, and he's been persistent with it [09:25] hub: Your Launchpad page doesn't go into too much detail - what have you been up to in Ubuntu? [09:26] mdz: currently I'm trying to focus on providing various tools for digital photography [09:26] and I have a bunch of packages still pending on REVU [09:26] carrying over your knowledge from gnome ? :) [09:27] hub is the well known photo tools guy in gnome ... and i'm really happy he wants to take such tasks in ubuntu as well :) [09:28] ogra: I'm not espacially gnome centric for the tools [09:28] hub: you organized MOTUPhoto? [09:28] mdz: I creat the team [09:28] hub: So, do you think it's possible to provide a "just work" atmosphere for the photography field? [09:28] created [09:28] hub, they are not QT based :) [09:28] mjg59: that is my goal. Have the tools ready for use [09:28] hub: what is your opinion of f-spot? [09:29] mdz: f-spot is a great user app [09:29] I installed Mono just for that reason [09:29] I'm talking regularly with lewing, the upstream developer [09:29] what do you think is the best way to get photo functionality to Just Work in Ubuntu, as it does on the Mac platform? [09:30] mdz: enhance libgphoto2 to work even more seemlessly [09:31] and have the application use it for everything [09:31] currently we launch gthumb when a camera is attached, but I have never been very happy about its level of functionality [09:31] I launched it just now and it crashed during startup ;-) [09:31] hew [09:31] I'll check that [09:31] hehe [09:31] mdz, use a stable distro :) [09:31] my main gripe with gthumb is that it's slow and memory-hungry. [09:31] I don't really work this way [09:31] maybe I should try it harder [09:31] Mithrandir: so is f-spot at times [09:31] Mithrandir: f-spot is faster IMHO [09:32] hub: what way do you mean? [09:32] reminds me, I should upload 0.1.7 now [09:32] I use a card reader, pop the card in, copy the files [09:32] I'd like f-spot's "new startup and import" feature to actually infer information from my carefully constructed hierarchy of directory names [09:32] right now it imports my thousands of photos and gives me that "now you have to tag them" look [09:32] hub: yes, that's what I do as well. however, I'd like to make things work well for a broader class of users [09:32] Keybuk, you can switch to directory view [09:32] ajmitch: I don't want photo apps to "manage my collection", I want to look at pics. [09:32] ogra: that kinda defeats the point though, especailly if you now import new things with f-spot and tag them [09:33] quickly getting OT :) [09:33] we needn't get into too much detail right now, though [09:33] ajmitch: ;-) [09:33] mjg59,Keybuk: satisfied with the amount of discussion? [09:33] mdz: I must admit that it is the best user case to have a program the ask about importing the pictures form the camera when you connect it [09:33] hub: that's what shuold happen ATM [09:33] yup, I'm good [09:34] pitti: it does, but gthumb has some issues [09:34] I had plans to write a "gnome-photo-importer" [09:34] mdz: Yup [09:34] hub: g-v-m asks about importing and calls gthumb if the user wnats [09:34] ok, votes? [09:34] +1 from me [09:34] to copy the picture automatically [09:34] +1 [09:34] +1 [09:34] hub: congratulations [09:34] welcome, hub :) [09:34] :) [09:34] pitti: yeah, but mdz just said it was crashing === pitti welcomes hub [09:34] mdz: thanks [09:34] hub, http://www.grawert.net/software/pimp/ [09:34] hub: and now I have to go and file a proper bug report after the meeting ;-) [09:34] hub, could need a python rewrite ;) [09:34] mdz: good luck! [09:34] hub, and welcome [09:34] ogra: eh [09:35] raphink: you're up [09:35] OK I have prepared a 4 paragraphs intro to paste ;) [09:35] ogra: I'd rewrite it in C++ :-/ [09:35] I got involved in MOTU things mostly by packaging new stuff for Ubuntu (mostly KDE packages) in october. My work in Ubuntu is documented on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaphaelPinson . I haven't really had the time to change the motivation part that I put before being a member, but it sums up why I want to be a MOTU, too. [09:35] Excellent, hub! [09:35] After packaging for some time and putting my packages on REVU, I noticed the queue was pretty slow on REVU, and wanted to help a bit. So I reviewed some packages myself and sent the comments to the packagers, forwarding them to some MOTUs. After I did that with a few packages, I was given review rights on REVU and have been using it so far to review more directly on the website. [09:35] hub, fine as well [09:35] I have also contributed to syncing/merging packages, although not as much as packaging/reviewing. [09:35] Finally, I have been working on the MOTU related documentation on the wiki, mostly on the REVU page, on the packaging and reviewing tips, and more recently on creating a Debian contribution page together with lucas. [09:35] raphink: that's great, it seems like REVU always needs more reviewers [09:36] I do my best :) [09:36] (url: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributingToDebian ) [09:36] ty lucas [09:36] Riddell: any feedback on raphink's involvement with KDE/Kubuntu? [09:36] yes, us existing MOTUs don't do enough reviewing to keep up [09:36] mdz: now it would help even more if I could advocate and upload packages too [09:36] raphink did some very nice kde packages, and his reviews are of good quality [09:36] raphink: What sort of packages do you plan on uploading? [09:37] mjg59: I mean being able to upload the advocated packages from REVU [09:37] right now i can only criticize the packages on REVU [09:37] raphink: Ok, cool [09:37] put comments and so on [09:37] but when I feel they're ready [09:37] Any plans for independent packaging? [09:37] i can't do more than just telling the guy to ask a MOTu gently [09:37] mjg59: I have 8 packages in Dapper already [09:37] Excellent [09:37] I also have my own project on alioth [09:38] which is called Ichthux [09:38] it's a CDD aimed to christians [09:38] when i began it I didn't know much about Debian systems yet [09:38] so it's a bit stalled right now [09:38] but I plan to improve it and get the packages in Debian and Ubuntu in the future maybe [09:38] just as Debian Jr. or Debian Med [09:39] or edubuntu, xubuntu ;) [09:39] yep exactly ;) [09:39] raphink: are you a Debian developer or in the NM queue? [09:39] no i'm not [09:39] I considered it a few months ago [09:39] and didn't do it at the time [09:39] and then got involved in Ubuntu [09:39] I haven't considered applying for DD seriously any recently [09:40] and I still need to get my packages in Debian [09:40] well, becoming a DD would be the ideal way to get your packages into debian, of course ;-) [09:40] thankfully I know some DDs who can sponsor my work, within Ichthux [09:40] oh, good [09:40] yes mdz I know that :) [09:40] this is future plans :) [09:40] right now I have to have Ichthux administrated by a DD on alioth [09:40] since they wouldn't let a non-DD rule it [09:41] SynrG has been my mentor even since april actually [09:41] and now co-administrates Ichthux on alioth withme [09:41] :) [09:42] (yes I can witness there are very nice DDs around that like Ubuntu even if not involved in it :)) === janim1 [n=jani@Home03207.cluj.astral.ro] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [09:42] raphink: Ben is very nice indeed :) [09:42] sivang: :) === HiddenWolf [n=HiddenWo@136.134.dynamic.phpg.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [09:43] dholbach,ogra: anything to say? [09:43] raphink, is very busy in the motu world and around every day since some weeks ... [09:44] err, months ? [09:44] mdz: I was very happy, when he jumped into REVUing and looking at his packages made me happy too. [09:44] ogra: time goes by :) [09:44] I've been working with raphink on some merges/syncs and some documentation. He has really been hyperactive those last weeks. I really enjoy working with him. His work has always been of high quality. [09:44] in any case he's a good teamworker [09:45] And he helped actively to respond to questions in the channel. [09:45] ...and would be very valuable for motu [09:45] mjg59,Keybuk: ready? [09:45] Yup [09:46] votes [09:46] +1 form me [09:46] yup [09:46] +1 here [09:46] raphink: welcome to the team! [09:46] :D [09:46] ty :) [09:46]
