fabbioneflint: thanks :)01:04
ograok, tech update:01:04
ografixed a lot of smaller ltsp bugs, thin-client-faster startup about to be finished (should be done tomorrow)01:04
ogramerged a lot of debian fixes for our ltsp package (especially important for lower memeory clients).01:04
ograthe bug that caused icon themes, wallpapers and themes to be broken if you were logged in with the same user twice is fixed, so internet cafes and schools that want to use only one account on evey thin client will be much happier (fix is in seb128's hands, to be uploaded).01:04
ogragdm theme handling was fixed so the customization doesnt break theme handling anymore (important for edubuntu-artwork)01:04
ogralow memory spec fot ltsp should be finished before next meeting01:04
JaneWyes ogra is first, and let's behave today01:05
=== dsaa [n=dsaa@210.1.93.220] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
JaneWogra: sounds good01:05
ograpre flight 4 testing is still not started ...01:05
JaneWhow much more to do before FF next thurs?01:05
ograwe're having small problemns with the NEW process in soyuz that breaks the CDs01:05
JaneWogra: what's holding flight 4 up?01:06
JaneWoic01:06
ograif thats done, we can start the first flight4 tests01:06
JaneWhow serious is it?01:06
JaneWcause for mild panic?01:06
jsgotangcobuilds01:06
flintogra, you were busy... we got a good image but soyuz cannot generate it?01:06
ograits serious for the whole distro, not only for us ... i hope thats fixed soon01:06
JaneWagreed01:06
ograflint, we dont01:06
ograflint, the image is missing packages that are stuck in the NEW queue01:07
JaneWogra: is there an eta on a fix yet?01:07
ograand there are problems to process that easily ...01:07
flintogra, gotcha... I finally get off my ass and get the lab in and the distro breaks (I am a most bitter old man :^)01:07
JaneWis Kamion still estimating THIS week?01:07
ograa paste from the canonical channel:01:07
ogra<silbs> March 2006, Linux Journal (the US one) has a 3/4 page on Edubuntu by Doc Searls.  Title is "Edubuntucation"01:07

=== mhz [n=mhz_chil@moinmoin/fan/mhz] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
JaneWogra: i created https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuFlight4Announcement01:09
JaneWogra: ready for you to fill in with cool features etc01:09
ograyup, saw it in #edubuntu 01:09
jsgotangcoi saw it on email too01:09
mhzre01:09
ograi'll do ... let me finish my fater startup spec first :)01:09
JaneWthink we need a grpahical page like ubuntu has? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperFlight401:09
mhzwow, JaneW indeed that Ubuntu dapper announcement looks very cool01:09
ograJaneW, urgh ... thats a day work or even more ...01:10
flintjanew, does the flight 4 page have an iso behind it now? or is this for the future.01:10
ogrataking all these screenshots and make them ready takes a lot of time 01:10
jsgotangcofuture01:10
JaneWogra: also are you updating https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/CurrentEdubuntu?01:10
ograand we dont have a new theme yet01:10
ograJaneW, nope, not yet ...01:11
JaneWogra: nod, that's why I am asking...01:11
flintJaneW, you probably remember the "harry potter" angle...01:11
JaneWogra: think it's worth the effort yet, esp without a new theme and look yet?01:11
ograi'm very busy with coding and wouldnt like to be distracted by paperwork if possible ...01:11
ograi dont want to risk my gaols ...01:12
JaneWogra: understood.... here is your chance to trawl for help...01:12
JaneW*HINT HINT*01:12
=== jsgotangco is away
ograhaha01:12
mhzJaneW: I'd gladly do it but It wont be possible for me until I get to put my hands on that lab i told you (1 more week at least)01:12
ograflint, what about you, you are eager to test, would you mind making a little testplan ? 01:13
ograhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/CurrentEdubuntu01:13
mhzJaneW: I have not tried dapper yet :(01:13
flintJaneW, hey, I am getting a lab together.  let me talk this offline with the Janester...01:13
ogracool :)01:13
JaneWI am still a little scared of Dapper01:14
flintogra, ok I see a test plan, and a good one.  who did this?01:14
JaneWit didn;t pass the first Jane test cycle yet...01:14
ograflint, dholbach01:14
jsgotangcothis was taken from dholbach's originail test plan01:14
flintogra, this is really fine.01:14
ograyup :)01:14
jsgotangcook01:15
=== jsgotangco waits for his turn
JaneWogra / flint: I think we just need to test the tesp plan and see if it needs any amendments01:15
JaneWogra: will you keep us informed on flight CD status and let us know when the announcement needs to be ready?01:16
flintJaneW, put testing on the agenda.  I agree we need to walk this space...01:16
ograJaneW, absolutely01:16
JaneWand we need to list of cool new features, known issues and bugs etc01:16
ograJaneW, lets have it prepared for the weekend ...01:16
Kinnisonogra: which 'NEW' bug is this?01:16
JaneWogra: agreed01:16
JaneWok well then tech discussion done.01:17
ograKinnison, we cant process NEW apparently ... Kamion knows more ...01:17
JaneWnext up Docs01:17
JaneWjsgotangco: you first01:17
jsgotangcocool01:17
jsgotangcoi've uploaded new docs and should be available at http://doc.ubuntu.com/01:17
jsgotangcobut i forgot to upload the makescript so wait for a few hours01:17
jsgotangcoand i've been testing the amd64 builds hoping for a working system but alas01:18
jsgotangco...01:18
jsgotangcoso i'll just depend on the live workstation builds for the meantime01:18
flintjsgotangco, any paticular place on http://doc.ubuntu.com/?01:18
jsgotangcoi've also started a small draft for a quickguide for end users intead of admins of the system01:19
JaneWjsgotangco: as you mentioned to me earlier?01:19
jsgotangcoyes01:19
jsgotangcoits for end users who log into as clients01:19
flintjsgotangco, this is a good thing.01:19
JaneWjsgotangco: what format will the quick guide be?01:19
JaneWjsgotangco: lovely :))01:19
jsgotangcoinstead of showing thema ll the usual ubuntu stuff01:19
jsgotangcowe'll focus on the core desktop apps that they can use01:20
jsgotangcokedu for instance01:20
=== irvin [n=irvin@ubuntu/member/irvin] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
jsgotangcothe screenshots are not a problem i'm very much used to this01:20
jsgotangcoi just need a working system so i'll probably settle for an i386 as long as it works01:20
jsgotangcome and mhz talked about this in passing earlier01:21
flintjsgotangco, where are you?  maybe we can find a donation.01:21
jsgotangcowe might make a TOC on the wiki01:21
JaneWjsgotangco: that's great, cos many people don;t know/care about the technical stuff, they just wanna know what end user stuff they can DO with it01:21
JaneWI like the idea a LOT01:21
jsgotangcoflint, i'm in +8 (Manila)01:21
mhzjsgotangco: I already have the junior part 90% ready with Gcompris (in spanish)01:22
jsgotangcoit won't take that much time on my side and workable on a weekend01:22
JaneWmhz is this similar to what you spoke to me about before?01:22
flintjsgotangco, ok how do I ship a computer to you?  also do you need the monitor?01:22
mhzJaneW: before?01:22
ograjsgotangco, i'll look up the last working liveCD for you ... there you can make screenshots ..01:22
jsgotangcoflint, let's discuss that later01:22
JaneWmhz: the spanish docs01:22
flintjsgotangco, email me flint@flint.com01:23
pips1jsgotangco, I have a working AMD64 edubuntu dapper... yours is broken? oh, you need the hardware ?!01:23
jsgotangcothe good thing is that we (docteam) already have good fondation templates01:23
mhzJaneW: ohh, 2 weeks ago,, yes. And we'll put some parts together with jsgotangco (me has to translate them now :D )01:23
jsgotangcopips1, heh i have 3 amd64 machines here01:23
JaneWmhz: cool01:23
ograpips1, i'm fine, but i dont have time to make screenshots currently01:23
jsgotangcoi can do the shots01:23
ograpips1, jsgotangco has no working installation01:23
jsgotangcoi can just update this dapper too01:23
jsgotangcoand grab the apps instead01:23
JaneWogra: have we got our 3 themes etc ready? (I mean icons and fonts etc)01:23
ograJaneW, not at all ... 01:24
ograart freeze is still far out01:24
jsgotangcoyeah01:24
mhzyeah!01:24
jsgotangcoi'll churn out an email this week about this01:24
ograJaneW, and i havent anything from silbs yet01:24
jsgotangcoi first have to make a docbook framework then commit01:24
mhzJaneW: I am very worried about this01:24
jsgotangcothe worst we could do is use the existing human theme01:25
jsgotangcowhich isn't bad01:25
JaneWogra: I know we don;t have the silbs stuff but aren;t we chosing our own icons and fonts etc again...?01:25
jsgotangcothe docs should build here:01:25
jsgotangcohttp://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/about-edubuntu/C/index.html01:25
jsgotangcohttp://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu-releasenotes/C/index.html01:25
jsgotangcobut they'll 404 for now01:25
JaneWI still have to say I like the current distinct look edubuntu has, I don't think it should be too similar to ubuntu01:25
jsgotangcogive it a few hours01:25
ograJaneW, yes, i havent gotten to this yet, the gdm theme breakage and gnome-settings-daemon breakage were more important for themeing yet ...01:26
JaneWjsgotangco: ta, will you post to #edu too later please? 01:26
jsgotangcoyes01:26
JaneWogra: do you need someone to look into it?01:26
jsgotangcowhen the cron starts to build01:26
=== Hirion [n=hirion@draugr.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ograJaneW, did you read my report above ? 01:26
ograJaneW, i fixed it ;)01:26
JaneWwe have some very competant graphic oriented people here01:27
JaneWogra: yes I read it01:27
ograbut that prevented me from doing any other artwork stuff :)01:27
JaneWogra: it didn;t talk about the actual themes to be applied....01:27
JaneWogra: sure01:27
JaneWogra: I am asking more about the selection now though01:27
flintogra ares gratia jane...01:27
ograhow about a call for submissions to the ML ?01:27
ograand we vote for the young and old theme then ...01:28
ogra(the mid one will be silbs job)01:28
mhzJaneW: I stopped the theming plans only because there were uncertainties on priorities about artwork and I had to wisely use the resources01:28
JaneWogra: agreed01:28
flintogra, how "pluggable" are the themes in the code now?01:28
mhzJaneW: however, I have been working little by little on a XFCE theme for edubuntu highschool01:29
JaneWogra: I was just trying to gather if you had all the requirements identified and selected already or if we still need to look and decide etc01:29
ograflint, dpkg-reconfigure edubuntu-artwork gives you a menu to select the age01:29
flintogra so edubuntu-artwork is the selector switch...  ok I will screw around with it in breezy...01:30
ograJaneW, i havent yet ... i'm focussing on feature freeze, so coding is my highest priority01:30
JaneWogra: understood, as it should be01:30
ograflint, not much difference yet ... all three themes are the same 01:30
JaneWok can the rest of you look at other themey kind of things and see if you can find stuff that yells 'edubuntu' and 'professional' ;)01:31
flintogra, it is all about the mechanism silly man... :^)01:31
mhzJaneW: then junior and olds ?01:31
ogramhz, yes01:31
JaneWyes we have junior, senior and plain01:31
=== poningru [n=poningru@n128-227-34-184.xlate.ufl.edu] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mhzGTK + icons + backgrounds ?01:31
flintJaneW, gotta have cooler names than junior, senior and plain!!!!01:32
JaneWplain is simple and monochrome as possible for people who don't want distractions on the desktop at all01:32
ogramhz, no GTK 01:32
pips1in  dpkg-reconfigure edubuntu-artwork it uses the terms "primary", "secondary" and "highschool" ...01:32
ogramhz, icons, splashscreen and backgrounds01:32
ograpips1, i'm open for better naming suggestions01:32
JaneWwe had someone saying he is a teacher and wants his kids to learn and do what they are supposed to and not want to PLAY.01:32
JaneWpah01:32
mhzogra: oh, ok01:32
flintJaneW, don't go down the road of work and play, not here, not now :^)01:33
pips1ogra, JaneW : should it be "junior", "senior" and "plain", then?01:33
ograthat would also require menu changes we cant do yet01:33
ogra(play/non play)01:33
JaneWok so can everyone have a look at the available options and we can nominate at next week's meeting?01:34
ograpips1, sounds good to me ...01:34
flintogra, so the doce says primairy, secondary and high school eh?01:34
pips1doce, hehe :-)01:34
JaneWok do we need to discuss the web and wiki?01:34
ogracurrently, yes ... but thats an interinm anyway ... just to show we *can* distinguish now+01:34
JaneWwe agreed that we will migrate the HTML pages to moin01:35
ograthe naming isnt mandatory01:35
JaneWpips1: did you hear about that?^01:35
pips1JaneW, yeah, I read that you decided on Moin at the last meeting... :-/ 01:35
JaneWwe also need some new content and orgnaisation on the wiki and web pages01:35
JaneWpips1: sorry, but it does makes sense in this case01:35
pips1in the absence of the "web team" ;-)01:36
JaneWmany of the articles which are published quote directly from our pages01:36
JaneWI think it's time we put some new words up there...01:36
mhzJaneW: and we received a suggestion to have 'front page' showing changes or news so it doesnt look as if we did nothing :)01:36
pips1where is highvoltage ?01:36
JaneWalso it will tie in nicely if we relaunch the page with an updated look for the new version too01:37
mhzand with shots from ...Book01:37
mhzor Guide01:37
JaneWmhz: yes, we do need a webmaster to keep the pages fresh and up to date01:37
pips1sorry, I am trying to catch up re the website ...01:37
jsgotangcoJaneW, are these pages in a separate server? i thought it was in the same servers as that of ubuntu01:37
mhzJaneW: we need a 'teacher-users' community01:38
mhzso they can provide 'weekly news'01:38
JaneWjsgotangco: I am nt sure where the html pages are now, but the wiki will be on the same as the rest of ubuntu like the wiki afaik01:38
pips1I was very busy in the last months with my day job, but this week I started working on the edubuntu website idea again... 01:38
flintmhz, as opposed to what?01:38
mhzJaneW: otherwise all news willbe 99% IT related from ubuntu01:38
=== poningru [n=poningru@n128-227-34-184.xlate.ufl.edu] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
JaneWpips1: great, your suggestions where very helpful before01:39
pips1I was hoping to touch base with highvoltage today...01:39
JaneWhighvoltage has been helping intermittently, but is also very busy with his day job01:39
pips1ah01:39
flintmhz, teachers-users support and development somewhere else?  Like the dining room and the kitchen?  promising idea.01:39
JaneWpips1: me too, not sure where he is01:39
JaneWpips1: you got his e-mail address?01:39
pips1well, I'm actually taking time off work (compensating overtime) now!01:39
mhzflint: yup, something like that01:39
JaneWflint: I think we must be careful not to take the analogy too far and become really corny01:40
pips1is the decisision about using Moin cast in stone now?01:40
mhzpips1: so it seems01:40
JaneWpips1: well we can't keep changing our minds01:40
JaneWpips1: but we need someone to own and drive it01:40
flintjane corn on the cob or in a casserole? hehe01:40
JaneWpips1: I reckon that person gets the strongest vote01:40
pips1I wanted to suggest you give me some time, let's say two weeks to get a drupal site running to convince you to go ahead with drupal... what does everybody think?01:41
JaneWpips1: hno73 likes mojn and the main ubuntu site is running in moin now, so it does make sense01:41
JaneWpips1: ogra wasn't that happy about drupal security01:41
ograJaneW, in fact i dont care if i dont have to maintin it ... 01:42
flintJaneW, .... anyway that was a metaphore not an analogy.... (what a college education will do for you :^)  did we not settle this site issue last week?01:42
JaneWogra: good attitude! :))01:42
ograi just pointed out that it ends in upgrade hell ...01:42
mhzpips1: and mhz would get crazy if we get back to drupal proposal after he had accepted Drupal and then got surprised we would use lovely Moin01:42
pips1drupal, even though it's php, has a very strong community, good core devs, and hasn't had many vulnerabilities so far... i.e. its track record is better than most php fare...01:42
ograi think its up to the guys working with it to decide about the tool ...01:43
JaneWflint: right it's a metaphor, but I'd argue that it's an analogy too :P01:43
pips1ogra, right01:43
mhzwell, I am sure hno73 will go for Moin and I sill stand defending it :D01:44
JaneWpips1: there was an issue with getting a server to host drupal, and getting our sys admins to find time to do it01:44
JaneWpips1: moin took that requirement away01:44
pips1I understand there are pros and cons about moin vs. drupal but I think ogra and JaneW are right, it comes down to the question who owns and drives it...01:44
pips1JaneW, right01:44
flintpips1, keep in mind that I am a rabid zope freak, (taking a zope 3 course with Richter!) and I keep my passion under control drupal is rightous but they made a call.01:44
JaneWthis was 'resolved' last week01:45
JaneWhowever nothing has been done with either yet afaik01:45
flintI was heartbroken that zope 2 did not make the cut :^)01:45
JaneWpips1: if you can commit to it I am not opposed to you putting something together which can be voted on01:45
pips1flint, zope is cool, but it always depends on what your goals are... :-)01:46
mhzbut, if there is time and willingness isn't better to use time resource in helping with dapper stuff?01:46
mhzor dapper complements?01:46
mhz.oO(hmm, maybe not 'complements' but complementary material)01:46
mhzjsgotangco: Interrogation!01:47
flintJaneW, the impression I am beginning to get is that you want to use the "gentlemen start you engines" project management approach.  If someone does something well you will embrace it.01:47
pips1JaneW, yes, ok, I think that's what we should do... I spend the next two weeks with getting a "drupal edubuntu site demo" and then let's vote about it.. if people prefer to go the moin/ubuntu way after that, it's fine with me...01:47
jsgotangcoyes01:48
JaneWflint: this is a community project (apart from possibly ogra) I can't really make anyone do anything01:48
flintpips1, i was unserious about zope, as I have no intention of investing any time in developing the site I just want to use it.  I am good with the demo idea.01:48
mhzogra: if I finish XFCE theming next week, could you make it available for dapper time?01:48
jsgotangcoflint, we're volunteers01:48
jsgotangcoogra and JaneW are the only ones paid to do this01:48
JaneWflint: all I can do is hope they are excited enough by what needs to be done to want to help, and to harness that it;s something we can use01:48
ogramhz, i can package it, but i think janimo would be the better guy to ask about xfce temes 01:49
JaneWit;s=into01:49
mhzogra: sure, but I mean this is XFCE edubuntu theme01:49
JaneWflint: granted PMing the ubuntu project is more work but FAR easier01:49
ograyes, we can package xfce-edubuntu-theme for universe, no problem with that ... main will need a main inclusion report and a review ... 01:50
neuralisjanew, ogra: i am happy to provide drupal hosting on a well-connected server, and ssh access for edubuntu developers.01:50
flintJaneW, what is in it for the perpertrator of this web site beyond bragging rights, think of some excellent reward.  sometthing that will forever grant bragging rights imho.01:50
pips1Can I get some thumbs up/votes on me giving drupal a spin for a demo we all vote on in two weeks?01:50
jsgotangcoyou're given an edubuntu.org forwarder hehe01:50
jsgotangcojoke01:50
mhzpips1: but, if there is time and willingness isn't better to use time resource in helping with dapper stuff? and leave drupal/moin voting for Abril 27th and on01:50
flintmhz, not a lot we can do about the upstream breakage eh ollie?01:51
JaneWsorry I am in decision paralysis on this one01:51
mhzogra: okis, thx,I'll try t find time to finish it durinf bnext week01:51
JaneWthe camp is divided01:51
ograJaneW, flip a krugerrand ? 01:52
pips1mhz, well, i've made a headstart with drupal (it's running a test machine of mine) and I want to test drive it for my own good, too ;-)01:52
JaneWogra: yeah right, I have a huge pile right here ;)01:52
flintJaneW, I advise going for a demo.  what can it hurt?  Oliver what do you think (i don't care is an optioinal answer :^).01:52
ograheh, i knew you all have them in buckets :)01:52
JaneWI think mhz, pips1, hno73 and highvoltage have to 'meet' and decide once and for all, it's their combined project after all01:53
ograflint, sure ...01:53
ograJaneW, ++01:53
flintJaneW, good idea.01:53
pips1JaneW, that's four people, we need an uneven number ;-)01:54
JaneWok I will set up a meeting for friday 12:00 utc, anyone who cares can be there, and we can hash it out for the last time01:54
flintthrow all the web-heads in a room and make them play "tag"!01:54
flintJaneW, that's when I wash my hair!!01:54
JaneWpips1: well which ever camp manages to round up the most supporters wins01:54
JaneWAND they get to do the damn work afterwards too! :)01:54
jsgotangcoJaneW, it shouldn't exceed 2 hours, it'll clash with docteam meeting at 14UTC01:55
jsgotangcothey could do it in 01:55
JaneW1 hour at the most 01:55
jsgotangco#edubuntu01:55
jsgotangco:D01:55
JaneWjsgotangco: ok yes, we can stay in #edub01:55
pips1JaneW, flint : no joke, on friday I have an appointment with a hair dresser! :-D01:55
JaneWI'll send a mail01:55
pips1JaneW, is another date/time ok? if not, I'll move my appointment, no prob01:56
flintJaneW, high noon, show down at the #edubuntu corrale... this is the stuff of legend! 01:56
JaneWof course if you have stuff to demo to support your arguments all the better...01:56
flintpips1, i cannot breath i am laughing too hard...01:56
JaneWpips1: well earlier is too early for the states...01:56
pips1flint, LOL01:56
JaneWtomorrow?01:56
mhzit depends on hno73 possibilities01:56
pips1what, that gives me today to come up with a demo?!01:57
=== pips1 has sweat breaking loose
JaneWpips1: monday....?01:57
pips1monday sounds better :-)01:57
mhz.oO("tell me why I dont like Mondays..")01:57
JaneWmhz: are you ok with this?^01:57
pips1mhz, hehe01:58
mhzJaneW: why not, but I am concerned about 2 things01:58
flintpips1, friday has more romance to it.  talk to your coiffure maybe.01:58
pips1flint, sorry for spoiling your friday romance, friday is hair day! ;-)01:58
JaneWI think monday is good, we need to focus on flight 4 this week anyway01:59
JaneWok anything else?01:59
JaneWtime nearly up01:59
JaneWI will send that mail now, 12:00UTC monday01:59
=== ogra would like to hear mhz's concerns ...
jsgotangcocoll with me01:59
pips1monday, 12 UTC on #edubuntu, then?01:59
mhzJaneW: highvoltage did work on something and I have no clue why we didn' test it,  AND hno73 has dedicated a lot of work on preparing a Moin version once decided drupal was not the option. So.. too much wasted time and resources01:59
mhzogra: those are01:59
ograyup02:00
JaneWmhz: I do agree with you02:00
mhzit's like we tell ogra... you know, we wont release edubuntu02:00
mhzwe'll use RPMs now02:00
flintso I should get to work on the zope python based drupal moin emulator on my zope 3 platform eh?02:00
ogramhz, haha02:00
mhzflint: lol02:01
pips1mhz, maybe it's better if we talk with hno73 and highvoltage...02:01
jsgotangcoafaik hno73 is on a roll with moin as we have started with theopencd site and ubuntu02:01
flintpips1, i want you to know that I feel left out and hurt...02:01
mhzpips1: well, yes, of course we must, we owe them at leastr that02:01
flintpips1, and relieved :^) 02:01
jsgotangcowe're even *this* close to having the whole moin de run off the cd on the livecd02:01
JaneWI think mhz, pips1, hno73 and highvoltage have to 'meet' and decide once and for all, it's their combined project after all02:02
JaneWas I said before02:02
jsgotangcoyeah02:02
mhzwell, okis02:02
pips1flint, I don't see you having a prob of not getting heard ;-)02:02
flintogra, final prophesy, when do we get a testable flight 4?  02:03
mhzI'd prefer hno73 and highvoltage set the time. they have spent the most efforts on website issues sor far02:03
flintpips1, point well taken and graciously accepted!02:03
jsgotangcoogra, can we change the menu System -> About Ubuntu to About Edubuntu?02:03
JaneWok meeting over02:03
ograflint, i predict you if the moon goes blue and the swans fly south-east 02:03
flintpips1, I do want to stay away from your kitchen, I just want to eat the resulting meal.02:03
ogra:P02:03
JaneWI will scribe a tactful e-mail now02:03
ograno idea, really02:03
mhzJaneW: thx for the order ;)02:04
pips1JaneW, ah!02:04
JaneWmhz: this group is a herd of cats....02:04
ograflint, i hope this week ...02:04
flintogra, how did elkner get by the chroot problem on flight 3?02:04
ogra(everyone does)02:04
ograflint, did he have one ? 02:04
flintdid he do something terrible like nfs over from the previous flight?02:04
flintogra, ollie he is RUNNING it live in his class!!!02:05
ograi have no idea, i didnt hear anything from him...02:05
ogradapper ? 02:05
ograhe runs dapper in a production environment ????02:05
flintogra, would I kid you about a thing like this?  Dapper indeed!02:05
ogracreazy guy ... 02:05
mhzogra: just one last question regarding slibs artwork.. will we have a mascot for ubuntu dapper?02:05
ograit can break every now and then 02:05
flintogra, I will check, but the man has the worst case of versionitus this side of fate.02:05
jsgotangcolol02:05
jsgotangcohehehe02:06
jsgotangcoBEAUTIFUL FONTS02:06
ogramhz, i doubt that02:06
flintI have a duck on crutches as artwork hold on i will get the url...02:06
JaneWmhz: apparently it's the last of the human themed releases02:06
ograflint, i'm *working* on it ... i often upload packages with feaqtures i taest later in a bunch ...02:06
mhzjsgotangco: can we meet sometime to talk about quickie?02:06
jsgotangcomhz, i don't want to do a quickie with you jeezz02:07
JaneWLOL02:07
ograflint, so it can easily break ...02:07
flintcheck out http://www.flint.com/wvus02:07
JaneWyou two take it outside!02:07
mhzjsgotangco: lol! why not?02:07
flintJaneW, no, you have to look at my duck!02:07
flintogra, this duck can be rehabilitated.  It used to be the mascot for the radio station i ran in college...02:08
ograhehe02:08
mhzjsgotangco: but we have to find a proper name ;)  Breezy Budger, Dapper Drake, etc02:09
jsgotangco?02:09
jsgotangcomhz, i'll try to think of a wiki page later02:09
flintJaneW, i think it is a fine duck.  it talks to handicapped access....02:09
flintJaneW, ok i give up.02:09
JaneWmhz: "Our current plan is that the Dapper Drake (Ubuntu 6.04 if we hit our April 2006 release date goal) will be the last of this first "set" of releases. So post-Dapper we have the opportunity to define a new "feel" or overarching theme. It would be unlikely to be... blue. But it might be substantially different to the current Human theme. For the moment, let's stay focused on the road to Dapper, polish up the existing Human theme02:09
JaneW to the max for that, and then break new ground post-Dapper."02:09
mhzjsgotangco: anyways, could we talk about it later?02:09
jsgotangcosure02:09
JaneWmhz: from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarkShuttleworth02:09
mhzjsgotangco: like the contents and the division of them?02:09
jsgotangcoyes02:10
ogra(note the *might* in that sentence)02:10
mhzJaneW: yeah02:10
jsgotangcowe'll use pink next time02:10
flinti am a bit miffed that no one likes my... duck. :^(02:11
flintlol02:11
mhzjsgotangco: oh, you are in a night time now?02:11
JaneWflint: I am sure even you could see that a handicapped duck would not be the imagery of choice for a robust 5-year-support release.02:11
jsgotangcomhz, 9PM to be precise02:11
mhzjsgotangco: so, hmm which UTC is good gor you at my time ?02:11
flintJaneW, sniff... oh ok...02:11
ograflint, i like it ...02:11
mhzjsgotangco: at my time =  considerin gmy time02:12
jsgotangcomhz, i can do 3 hours more starting now02:12
flintogra, thanks ollie let get a cigi.02:12
ograyes :)02:12
ograand a coffee02:12
flintindeede02:12
jsgotangcoflint, i would be gracious with a PPC02:12
jsgotangcoheh02:12
pips1flint, saw your duck and died! 02:12
jsgotangcojoke02:12
jsgotangcos/gracious/grateful02:12
flintpips1, hash duck joke!02:12
flintJaneW, this is another example of why you should not cast your ducks before swine! :^)02:13
JaneWok let's get the duck out of here...02:13
pips1LOL02:13
mhzjsgotangco: hmmm, I have to cook quickly then. Tell you what let's say 14:00 UTC and if I can't make it (house stuff) then 24 UTC ?02:13
flintJaneW, I vow to never again expose my duck in this foum.02:14
mhzflint: flint, fint02:14
jsgotangcomhz, no problem no rush dude02:14
flint\foum\forum02:14
mhzjsgotangco: rush? yes, for me. It will mean I have to write sthe stuff in 2 languages02:14
pips1shouldn't we all duck out and dip into #edubuntu now?02:14

henoah, ok08:01
=== TheMuso shoudl really burn the latest daily of the ubuntu live CD to have a look at the a11y stuff on the main boot screen, and see how it is implemented.
henoYes, I'd be interested to see how that works for you08:04
henoThe text might be a bit small08:04
TheMusoI'll see once it is burnt.08:04
TheMusoDo you know whether anybody else is coming?08:05
henoNo. Anybody here? :)08:05

henodholbach: it's thursday fror TheMuso08:07
TheMusojgrieves I think, but he is not currently online.08:07
henoah, ok. well, we can keep it short08:08
TheMusoAt approx 6:10 AM. :)08:08
henoI think things are comming together fairly well, technically08:08
dholbachsorry, was just on the phone08:09
henowe even have an agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Team/MeetingAgenda08:09
dholbachrock n roll! :)08:09
dholbachi suppose it's too late for jsgotangco :)08:10

TheMusomhz, kjcole I think it was.08:10
dholbachheno: I think it'S important as well.08:10

=== mvo [n=egon@p54A64D4A.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
TheMusoI agree.08:12
henoIt may not be scratching each of our personal itches perfectly, but I think strategically is is key08:12
dholbachI just had a look at the LiveCD page, what is the flite reader?08:12
dholbachOh, I never realized we had that one.08:13
henodholbach: we had to go with flite instead of Festival due to disc space08:13
=== lucasd [n=lucas@ubuntu/member/lucasd] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
heno8mb vs 40mb08:13
dholbachRight. :-)08:13
TheMusoFlite is an alternate speech synthesizer which is smaller than festival. However, it can not be used with gnopernicus and gnome-speech at this time, unless someone writes a driver for it.08:13
TheMusoUnless there is something I don't know about.08:14
henoTheMuso: really? gah! it doesn't work with gnopernicus?08:14
henothat's bad news08:14
TheMusoNo. There is no flite driver in gnome-speech.08:14
TheMusoWe could get it to work if we were to add the latest speech-dispatcher release, as well as the speech-dispatcher gnome-speech driver, which could use flite that way.08:14
henoAnd I assume it's not a 2-day job08:15
dholbachI keep trying on getting gnome-orca in, but python-at-spi didn't hit the archive yet. :/08:15
TheMusoNo, I certainly don't hink so, as the gnome-speech drivers are not very simple.08:15
TheMusodholbach: Maybe were should leave that for another release, as it is still being developed, and IMO it needs a better user interface before it can be considered an option.08:16
dholbachAlthought I'm not sure, how much better orca would be or if it'd do the job we wanted it to.08:16
dholbachTheMuso: ok.08:16
henoSo, that's a fly in the ointment. How big are the speech dispatcher things?08:16
dholbachTheMuso: I'll still try to get it in, it can't hurt to have it in Universe and people testing it.08:16
TheMusodholbach: True.08:17
henoOrca is the future I guess though. So Dapper+1 should be good08:17
TheMusoheno: Speech dispatcher is not very big as far as I know, but we need the 0.6 branch, as well as the gnome-speech driver, which as far as I know, should be in GNOME CVS.08:17
dholbachTheMuso: On the NewSoftware page you pointed out you were working on some other packages - do you want me to look at those?08:17
TheMuso?08:18
Mithrandirheno: can we touch bases at some point wrt accessability and the live cd?  I know I should do something to enable it, but I can't remember what.08:18
henoso it might be fairly instable stuff, and it's getting late in the cycle ...08:18
TheMusodholbach: Packages?08:18
TheMusoheno: Yeah.08:18
TheMusoI know.08:18
dholbachTheMuso: wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/NewSoftware08:18
henoMithrandir: sure. Press F4 for a start08:19
dholbachTheMuso: "Speech Dispatcher" and "gnome-speech driver for speech-dispatcher"08:19
Mithrandirheno: tomorrow, possibly?08:19
TheMusoYeah I see it. Trouble is, that the newer driver is probably in GNOME cvs now.08:20
henoMithrandir: sure that'd be good08:20
dholbachTheMuso: which gnome module is that?08:20
TheMusognome-speech08:20
henobtw, there is a screenshot here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GreatFeaturesOfUbuntu?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=AT-boot-menu.png08:20
dholbachTheMuso: i make a note to look at it08:20
TheMusodholbach: I am going to check the latest gnome-speech source in dapper as well, and then check CVS.08:21
dholbachTheMuso: cool08:21
henoSo, you guys who know this better TheMuso, dholbach what are the chances we can get a screen reader working on the CD for dapper?08:23
dholbachI'll try to have a look at the other packages on NewSoftware too, because we'll have to have them in for Feature Freeze (Feb 23rd)08:23
henoDo we need a backup plan?08:23
TheMusoheno: I am thinking we might, because there is a chance that others won't agree in firstly pushing a new release of a universe package up to main, and then requesting the addition of what seems to be only CVS code at the moment.08:24
dholbachWhat are screen reader alternatives we have?08:24
TheMusoFor GNOME, none really. It is the gnome-speech package that is giving us these problems at the moment.08:25
TheMusodholbach: I am just checking gnome-speech out of CVS now.08:26
TheMusoAs it is not in the latest dapper package.08:26
henoThe good new is that if the software isn't perfect it doesn't affect a large number of people08:26
mjg59Fixing gnome-speech to use a sensible TTS would also help dasher08:26
TheMusoThere is a chance that the GNOME devs may hold off including it in gnome-speech for a while anyway.08:26
henoif you see what I mean. It's not the kernel08:26
TheMusoI know what you mean. We will still certainly be able to fulfill the other profiles.08:26
henomjg59: so you will help :) ?08:26
TheMusodholbach: What is the story on the XDamage extension bug for gnome-mag that I submitted?08:26
TheMusoI don't remember seeing anything about it being added.08:27
mjg59We're not bound by upstream decisions. If there's a compelling functionality reason to include unreleased upstream code, we should do so08:27
mjg59heno: I'm short on time right now, I'm afraid08:27
dholbachTheMuso: The problem was, that for some video drivers it made gnome-mag completely unusable08:27
mjg59(And have to go for food now, back later)08:27
dholbachTheMuso: i can check it with a new version again08:27
dholbachTheMuso: daniels said that it surely might be an X problem08:28
TheMusodholbach: That might be a good idea, as it makes it work much better.08:28
dholbachOk08:28
dholbachI'll do that08:28
TheMusoLooks like the speech-dispatcher driver is indeed in CVS.08:29
=== jbailey [n=jbailey@modemcable139.249-203-24.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
=== TheMuso is checking out new live CD now.
dholbachTheMuso: that sounds promising08:29
dholbachhi jbailey :)08:29
jbailey=)08:30
jbaileySorry I'm late. =)08:30
henoOK, so in reference to this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/LiveCDsettings that means there there is still full uncertainty about #3, but we should be able to settle the other 5 quite easily08:30
henojbailey: hi :)08:30
TheMusoheno: That sounds about right,.08:30
henoSo in my last testing of the Live CD it didn't actually do any AT stuff08:31
TheMusoRight.08:31
henothat depends on us completing that page and communicating it to Kamion08:32
henoShall we skip to point #3?08:33
henoIt's related to the CD08:33
henoIt would be helpful to have some introductory info on it08:33
henofor those who are using these features08:33
TheMusoheno: I also think we need something about just what is possible with the accessibility tools, as there will be people who haven't used them before.08:33
henoI've made a start here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/doc/Intro08:34
dholbachheno: a "start"! That looks good! :-)08:34
henoright. I think it should be clearly divided though into 'What is currently available on the CD you are using"08:35
henoand "What can be istalled later"08:35
TheMusoYeah.08:35
dholbachyeah, that sounds good08:35
dholbachheno: you think we should talk to the doc team to get this into ubuntu-docs as well?08:35
TheMusoOne thing I am not sure about in relation to flite, is whether flite itself is multilingual.08:35
TheMuso...I don't think it is, but I could be wrong.08:35
henodholbach: That's probably a good idea08:35
henoTheMuso: AFAIK it's not08:36
TheMusoI understand about size, but how will that help non-english speakers while installing?08:36
henohttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/doc/Guide is much more detailed, but also needs more work08:36
henoit needs to be updated for dapper and fleshed out08:37
henothat is where doc vteam help would be most useful08:37
dholbachI'll talk to mdke about it08:37
henoHow many languages does festival have? 8-10?08:38
TheMusoI don't know, but it has more than flite does.08:38
henohow well do the speech engines read out other languages? Can it be grokked at all?08:39
henoSounds like that would need to go on a DVD?08:39
TheMusoheno: I don't know, as I have had no reason to use other languages.08:40
dholbachAmerican English, British English, Italian, Castilian Spanish, general multi-lingual speech synthesis    judging by   apt-cache search festival08:40
henoIt is a problem, but we have to start somewhere. Operating systems need to improve on both AT and translations08:41
TheMusoYeah true.08:41
dholbachYeah.08:41
henobut I think including what we have is what we have to do08:41
henowe could try to make a case for the 40mb Festival of course08:42
henobut I'm not very optimistic08:42
=== dholbach neither.
TheMusoThats understandable.08:42
henoOf course with our own live derivative we can put whatever we want on there08:43
dholbachat least it'll be on the DVD08:43
henoThat would be extremely easy08:43
dholbachalthought that's not going to be available via shipit08:43
TheMusoheno: I have a few ideas for the derivative as it is.08:44
henojust dump some WinFOSS and add Festival08:44
henoTheMuso: cool08:44
henoI think it's important to keep in mind that people like Kamion are spending time on this because vit's going into the main version08:45
TheMusoYeah08:45
henowhich makes for great features that we can then easily use other places08:45
henoSo a minimal offering may not be a bad thing i the overall picture08:46
henobecause the infrastructure gets put in place08:46
dholbachI just had a look at "Live CD Testing"08:47
dholbachdo we have kind of a Test Plan?08:47
henodholbach: not explicitly, no08:48
henoweneed to test each of those 6 features on the CD08:48
dholbachIf we had at least some things we want people to look at, I'd link it from http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing08:48
henowe've been testing the actual apps on installed dapper systems so far08:49
dholbachI'll forward your gok bug to upstream later. :)08:49
henoOK, so: fire up the CD 6 times, and see if it does ABC ...08:49
henodholbach: did you confirm it?08:50
TheMusoWe may have to wait until the CD is more stable to do testing. I can't boot it atm. It freezes during bootup.08:50
=== mruiz [n=mruiz@www.3ie.cl] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
henodholbach: is it a gok or gnome bug?08:50
dholbachheno: it did work for me - so I asked you back for the versions08:50
dholbachheno: I think it'd important to get in touch with upstream asap about it.08:50
henodholbach: yep. I'll fit it in thanks. Latest dapper though08:50
dholbachheno: so they'll tell us, what to test next08:50
dholbachheno: ah ok, that suffices08:51
henoTheMuso: hm. I guess fligh4 should be better08:51
henoexpected vthis week08:51
TheMusoIs that due any time soon?08:51
dholbachyes08:51
TheMusoAh right.08:51
dholbachalthough there's no fixed date i know of08:51
henoI'll write a simple testing plan page before then08:52
dholbachheno: That's great08:52
heno(unless it's in a few hours ...)08:52
dholbachheno: I already added Testing/ to the dapper flight 4 announce, I'll make a special note about a11y additionally08:52
henoyay!08:53

dholbachCool. :-)08:53
henoso it should feature on the flash demo if that gets made08:53
henoRight. So I think we've covered some good ground08:54
dholbachJust to check back: is there any other software I should have a look in and package?08:55
henothere is quite a bit of stuff we should catch up on amongst ourselves, by ML, email, phone08:55
dholbachYou'd need to tell me before Feb 23rd. :-)08:55
dholbachYeah.08:55
dholbachThanks TheMuso and heno for your initiative and involvement.08:56
henoso that means completing this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/LiveCDsettings is quite urgent08:56
henodholbach: thanks for your involvement and packing!08:56
TheMusoThe profiles look good to me, it is just the speech implementation that could be sticky as far as I can see.08:57
dholbachI didn't do much for the a11y team in the last days, but I'm very happy about our team - the amount of subscribers to the mailing lists is still rising, so there's a lot of interest08:57
henoThere is still some work to be done in identifying the right config settings in the various files08:58
TheMusoheno: Yeah true.08:58
dholbachWe're 35 people on the ML.08:59
raphinkstill one minute to get here 08:59
henodholbach: what's the best way to track down config flags?08:59
raphink:)08:59
raphinkyeah08:59
dholbachheno: config flags like what?08:59
TheMusoheno: Do you mean gconf?08:59

=== LaserJock [n=LaserJoc@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
raphinkI wanted to introduce revu-tools, which is a set of tools based on siretart's revu-build09:19
raphinkto be initialy included in REVU, but that can be used on other machines09:19
raphinkto say it short, this is a collection of scripts that automatize review tasks, such as comparing the upstream tarball with the orig one, run build tests, etc.09:20
raphinkand generates a full report09:20
raphinkthe idea now is maybe to use mdt in it to make is more complete, checking for example for the presence of the package in debian or in older versions of ubuntu09:20
raphinkany mdt dev is present?09:21
sistpotylucas: around?09:21
=== raphink feels everybody is sleeping already

raphinkRiddell: mdt is Multi Distro TOols09:22
=== Riddell none the wizer
stratusraphink: I would like to suggest revu-tools package inclusion in the distro.09:22
raphinkit's a set of tools created by some MOTUs (not sure about who exactly)09:22
raphinkthat is useful for merges mostly09:22
LaserJockhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiDistroTools09:22
sistpotystratus ++09:22
raphinkstratus: it's in NEW already, has been for a week09:22
stratusraphink: oh, great!09:23
raphinkstratus: i've pinged elmo several times about it, but I have no news yet09:23
sistpotyraphink: what do you think you'll gain from merging with mdt?09:23
Riddellraphink: what's it written in?09:23
RiddellNEW is generally slow this week, soyuz stuff09:23
raphinksistpoty: being able to check for the presence of the package in Debian/Ubuntu already09:23
raphinksistpoty: mostly09:23
stratusraphink: do you plan to move from svn to bzr ?09:23
LaserJockI use mdt for MOTU Science lists like http://tiber.tauware.de/~laserjock/all_list.html09:23
raphinkstratus: well so far it's in the REVU svn09:23
stratusraphink: i know, i know, i asked about the possibility of a move in the near future.09:24
Riddellraphink: what's it written in?09:24
jpatrickRiddell: bash09:24
Riddelloh, lovely :)09:24
raphinkstratus: well this is a small project, aimed to fewpeople09:24
raphinkthanks jpatrick :)09:24
LaserJockmdt is also bash with a little ruby mixed in09:25
raphinkalthough I hope to target DDs too09:25
Riddellraphink: does it check for all copyright contributors being in debian/copyright?09:25
raphinknot yet Riddell 09:25
raphinkthat could be a nice thing09:25
LaserJockhow would it do that09:25
RiddellLaserJock: grep :)09:25
stratusraphink: np09:25
raphinkRiddell: I'm wondering if that feature wouldn't be better in lintian or linda though09:25
Riddellraphink: probably too unreliable09:25
LaserJockRiddell: grep what? COPYING?09:25
sistpotyRiddell: you are almost as extreme with ideas what a script can do as ajmitch ;)09:26
raphinkLaserJock: grep the headers09:26
stratusbtw, what's up with the REVU wiki articles? Just search for REVU in the wiki.09:26
jpatrickLaserJock: grep -i copyright09:26
stratustwo articles (almost same content) in different urls and a broken redirect09:26
LaserJockjpatrick: compare to what?09:26
raphinkstratus: no there is only one REVU page on the wiki09:27
raphinkstratus: and I take note of the broken redirect09:27
jpatrickLaserJock: then compares debian/copyright and the src files?09:27
LaserJockjpatrick: ok, I can kinda see that09:27
raphinkstratus: and correct it immediatly ;)09:27
stratusraphink: heh :-)09:28
sistpotyraphink: iirc revu2 also has some stuff to find out, if a sourcepackage is in debian or ubuntu... so you could also take a look at this09:28
raphinksistpoty: indeed I'd like to try to embed revu-tools in revu2 more09:28
sistpotyraphink: so imo it depends, whether you want revu-report integrated into revu2 or standalone... 09:28
raphinksistpoty: including being able to run them from the web interface for reviewers09:29
LaserJocksistpoty: btw, is there an ETA on REVU2?09:29
raphinksistpoty: I'd like two branches 09:29
raphinksistpoty: because I don't think DDs will use REVU2 very soon09:29
raphinksistpoty: but I think we'd benefit from DDs using revu-tools09:29
sistpotyLaserJock: should have been done for a long time... no honestly, we don't have an ETA right now :(09:29
LaserJockok09:30
sistpotyraphink: ok09:30
raphinkany more questions? or shall we move on?09:30
sistpotyraphink: I basically think, you should discuss inclusion to mdt with lucas, since he wrote it09:30

raphinksivang: hosting?09:32
sistpotysivang: the motu's do09:32
sivangerr, directing :)09:32

dholbachsivang: sistpoty and the meeting is running atm09:32

sistpotyback to topic09:32
=== dholbach hands sistpoty the Mic back.
raphink:)09:33
sistpotyhas everybody read my mail to -motu about allegro4.1 -> 4.2?09:33
sistpoty(or anybody)?09:33
stratusnobody cared, but considering we did, move on :-)09:33
=== dholbach has another quick look. :)
=== raphink hides
=== LaserJock saw it
raphinksistpoty: what is allegro ? *blush*09:34
sistpotyjust for reference: debian unstable ships with allegro4.2 (and 4.1)... most of the games have deps on 4.2 now, since there are bugs filed against packages which depend on 4.109:34
=== lemsto [n=salim@ANantes-154-1-59-188.w81-53.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
raphinksistpoty: oh so this is not like a very big transition09:35
sistpotyraphink: a library mostly for games09:35
stratusyes, and for those who care it's sound related, so go figure..09:35
sistpotyraphink: no, just some rdeps09:35
raphinkyep09:35
dholbachdo the games/allegro have bugs on them already?09:35
dholbachdoes it seem sane, like stable?09:35
raphink(btw: OT, the automake1.6 is not yet fully achieved)09:35
raphink(automake1.6 transition)09:36
sistpotydholbach: haven't seen any till now, and since it's there for quite some time, I consider it stable09:36
stratusthere are just 7 games in Debian that depends on allegro 4.209:36
stratuschecking for bugs...09:36
raphinksistpoty: what does it bring?09:36
sistpotyone good thing about the transition is, that we could undo it, since allegro4.2 and allegro4.1 would be present (different sourcepackages)09:36
=== ogra_ibook [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
sistpotyraphink: being closer to debian09:37
raphinkk09:37
dholbachand something supported09:37
dholbach"supported", since closer to upstream09:37
sistpotythus, if bugs occur, we would be quite sure that they are in debian as well and could join the efforts on fixing09:37
raphinksistpoty: so using allegro4.1 | allegro4.2 in Depends should be quite fine I guess09:38
raphinksistpoty: ++09:38
sistpotyraphink: erm... no... we should use liballegro4.2-dev as build-depends09:38
raphinkah09:39
sistpoty(so I'm not quite sure if liballegro-dev | liballegro4.2-dev will work as well, since liballegro4.2-dev replaces/conflicts liballegro-dev... anyone a clue?)09:39
stratusFYI, there are no bugs involving allegro 4.2 in Debian packages that depends on it.09:39
sistpotythx stratus09:39
stratusthere are just bugs asking for allegro 4.2 transition, made in 7 of them already09:40
raphinkok09:40
sistpoty(well and I'm quite sure I could work a little bit in debian-games, since at least one game ftbfs currently, which i believe is in debian-games)09:40
raphinkseems good :)09:40
sistpotydholbach: what's your opinion about the transition?09:40
dholbachIf we have both library source packages in, we should run into no risk, if we can get rid of one of them, even better.09:41
raphink+109:41
sistpotywe will have both sourcepackages :)... so any objections from anyone?09:41
sistpotyok, then I call it decided, we'll go for the transition :)09:42
sistpotyshall we move on?09:42
raphinkok09:42
raphinksistpoty: do you want to create a transition page on the wiki?09:42
raphinkhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Transitions09:43
stratusraphink: which content exactly? information about ongoing transitions?09:43
raphinkyep, as done with other transitions there09:43
sistpotyraphink: actually I want to testbuild the whole transition before doing it... if I'm finished with these steps I already have all changed packages at hand...09:44
sistpotyraphink: so if noone objects, I would care for this transition09:44
raphinksistpoty: you can use mdt for that :)09:44
raphinksistpoty: sure :)09:44
stratusraphink: i see09:44
raphinkok then 09:44
sistpotyraphink: mdt for what? I use apt-get in my unstable chroot :)09:44
sistpotynext item?09:44
raphinksistpoty: mdt for reverse dep and build all09:44
LaserJocksistpoty: for listing dependent packages, etc.09:45
=== sistpoty will try it
raphinkok let's move on :)09:45
sistpotyok, next item is coordination of current work...09:45
raphinkhuhu09:45
sistpotyactually, I must admit, that I'm beginning to loose overview of who works on what package and what syncs are already requested09:46
lfittlwiki page seems like a good idea to solve that09:46
sistpotyand I believe that we might start to do duplicate work, if we don't organize a little bit :)09:46
raphinkstratus: you've the one who made a wiki page for the UVF status right?09:46
stratusraphink: yes09:47
LaserJocksistpoty, more than SyncRequests and UVFStatus provide?09:47
sistpotyLaserJock: is syncrequests current?09:47
LaserJockyes09:47
=== sistpoty looks
=== heno [n=henrik@henrik.gotadsl.co.uk] has left #ubuntu-meeting []
LaserJockdholbach had me make last week I think09:47
dholbachhad you make? :)09:48
sistpotyLaserJock: I don't think it is current... (at least I need to insert my syncs there *g*)09:48
stratusoh, wait09:48
sistpotyLaserJock: imo we need also a table who is doing work on a package right now09:48
LaserJocksistpoty: well, people have to use it ;-)09:48
LaserJocksistpoty: what kind of work?09:49
sistpotyLaserJock: and to know of it's existance :)09:49
LaserJocksure09:49
stratusthe UVFStatus and SyncRequests lack a better explanation about why there aren't just one page09:49
sistpotyLaserJock: for example work on a package with unmet dependencies09:49
stratusSyncRequests does a better job informing that 'this is not used for merges...'09:49
LaserJockstratus SyncRequests isn't for UVF exceptions09:49
LaserJocksistpoty: what we could really use is a list like we used for merging on tiber09:50
stratusLaserJock: yes, i know. I'm just thinking about the 'foo' wiki reader.09:50
LaserJockwiki pages aren't great for that kind of work flow tracking09:50
sistpotyLaserJock: grml... (means work for me *g*)09:50
raphinkLaserJock: yes09:50
raphinksistpoty: means more work in the beginning, less in the future09:50
LaserJockstratus: I see, it was more for people who already knew what they were doing, but yes it isn't very discriptive09:51
stratusLaserJock: entire work flow tracking no, but just for current status it's, IMHO.09:51
LaserJocksistpoty: maybe you need to delegate ;-)09:51
LaserJockstratus: current status of what?09:51
raphinksistpoty: delegate your work ... to elmo for example :)09:51
sistpotyLaserJock: well if s.o. is willing to create s.th. I wouldn't mind at all :)09:51
LaserJockraphink: lol, nooooo09:51
stratusLaserJock: you said that wiki pages aren't great for "that kind of work flow tracking".09:51
raphinkLaserJock: ;)09:52
sistpotyLaserJock, raphink: on the left of the merge-web-tool is the link to it's bzr-repo ;)09:52
sistpotydoes anyone know how usable the search-function of malone is up to now?09:52
LaserJockfor what?09:53
dholbachsistpoty: what do you want to know?09:53
raphinksistpoty: depends09:53
sistpotymaybe we could also (ab)use malone-bugs and the search function to create a list who is doing work on a package09:53
raphinksistpoty: it often crashes and is not very reliable imo09:53
raphinksistpoty: a list on _a_ package??09:53
sistpotyraphink: idea is: if you work on a package, you file a (specific) bug to malone...09:54
LaserJockbasically, I think a question is should we be opening bugs for everything we do?09:54
sistpotyraphink: then you could search for all these bugs to know which packages are worked on09:54
raphinkI get the idea sistpoty, just as for merges09:54
dholbachHm, I don't see the problem to fix. Can somebody help me?09:55
sivangsistpoty: using the autmatic merge bug filer right?09:55
sistpotyLaserJock: if it provides us with s.th. to handle the workflow in a good matter, I don't see a problem with it09:55
sistpotysivang: eventually09:55
raphinksistpoty: since merges are not done normally during UVF, why not use motu-mergers for that?09:55
sistpotyraphink: hm... that is quite confusing but would give us what we want :)09:56
dholbachWhich workflow are we trying to fix for which reason?09:56
LaserJockmaybe we need at motu-workflow LP team that would go to a motu-workflow list? kinda like a svn commit ML09:56
sistpotydholbach: that two persons doing work on the same package09:56
dholbachlike in "bug fixing"?09:57
raphinkdholbach: we are trying to find a way to work properly on UVF exceptions I think, not duplicating the work09:57
raphinkdholbach: from what I understood09:57
sistpotydholbach: or in fixing unmet deps, yse09:57
dholbachassigning the bug to people should be way to go09:57
sistpotyraphink: no, I'm not talking about UVF exceptions here09:57
LaserJockwell, there is lots of work, bug fixing, unmet deps, FTBFS, merges, syncs09:57
raphinksistpoty: oh ok09:57
dholbachand subscribe MOTU so they still get the mails on universe-bugs, no?09:57
raphinksure dholbach 09:57
LaserJockdholbach: do we want to create that much noise on universe-bugs?09:58
sistpotydholbach: actually I'd like to see a list of which packages are currently worked on09:58
dholbachLaserJock: If you're going to fix a bug that's in Malone, you SHOULD assign it to you - that's not more noise than there is anyway atm.09:58
sistpoty(imo that would be very easy to look up, before I start working on a package)09:58
dholbachUntriaged bugs and Unassigned bugs is a good way atm.09:59
LaserJockdholbach: i'm talking about opening a bug for every upload, syn request, etc.09:59
dholbachWe should step back from assigning bugs to MOTU09:59
sistpotydholbach++09:59
dholbachsubscribing motu or getting motu on the default subscribers list is a good idea09:59
=== raphink assigns bugs to himself or to people he knows to be specialized in something
dholbachassigning = commiting to work on it10:00
dholbachis that a definition we can live with?10:00
=== lemsto [n=salim@ANantes-154-1-59-188.w81-53.abo.wanadoo.fr] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Quitte"]
sistpotydholbach: sounds good to me10:00
LaserJockraphink: really, I was under the impressions that we didn't want to assign anything to a particular person only MOTU10:00
=== raphink I can't live commited to doing work :p
dholbachLaserJock: But we do uploads for a reason - it's better to look at reasons/use-cases (like bug, update, ...) than at uploads10:01
sistpotywell, I think I could rape^Wreprogram the current merge list quite fast, to be able to handle unmet deps... do you think this might be worth a try?10:01
LaserJockok, but I think the questions remains, should we be using Malone for tracking MOTU work?10:01
dholbachLaserJock: for which use-cases?10:02
sistpotyLaserJock: *if* it provides us with what we need, why not use it?10:02
dholbacharen't unmetdeps mostly something for saying "I poke <package xy>" in #ubuntu-motu?10:03
LaserJockI'm talking about tracking all MOTU (basically everything we do and upload for) whether it is really a "bug" or not10:03
LaserJockall MOTU activity, that is10:03
sistpotydholbach: I'm sometimes working on a package when I'm not online... 10:03
LaserJockif I want a package synced, should I open a bug10:03
dholbachLaserJock: please try to break it up in use-cases - it's easier to discuss separate issues10:03
dholbachsistpoty: right10:03
sistpotydholbach: and you don't know, if somebody started working on it, but didn't finish yet (if it takes longer)10:04
LaserJockif I have a fix for an unmet dep should I open a bug?10:04
dholbachthe problem with locking on stuff is that some stuff keeps being locked10:04
sistpotydholbach: yes, good point... 10:04
dholbachbut for important thigns (which *are* problems) we should probably have a bug10:05
sistpotymaybe bug filing might help us with this, since we know the date s.o. started working on it?10:05
stratuswell guys, i need to go now10:05
sistpotycya stratus10:05
raphinkciao stratus 10:05
LaserJockI think moving work workflow off the wiki is a good thing but I'm unclear as to what I (and other MOTU Wannabes) are supposed to do.10:06
LaserJockin the case of a bug fix it is clear10:06
sistpotyok, got a proposal: I empty the merge-list and for every package with unmet deps, a bug "package is uninstallable in dapper" should be filed, if s.o. starts working on it10:06
sistpotywhat do you think?10:07
sistpotythen we have both a list for fast lookup and bugs in malone...10:07
sistpotyin the bugs, we could state, if the package is to be synced (and also list it in the wiki) or close it, once a new version is uploaded10:08
LaserJockand for FTBFS? "package does not build from source"?10:08
psusifails to build from source10:08
sistpotya bug with "package FTBFS" or something... then it could also be handled by the list10:09

dholbachguys, I'll be out for a walk now, sorry.10:09
dholbachbbl10:09
sistpotycya dholbach10:09
raphinklater dholbach 10:09
sistpotylet's try to summarize the options we have... and vote for the best one10:10
sistpoty(a) no coordination necessary10:10
sistpoty(b) wiki-page10:10
LaserJockcya dholbach10:10
sistpoty(c) bugs in malone10:10
dholbacha 'motu' poll!10:10
sistpoty(d) bugs in malone with merge-list abused as list who works on a package10:10
sistpotyany other option?10:11
raphinkin the past I have gone for b+d, since it's still quite hard to search on malone10:11
raphinksorry10:11
raphinkb+c10:11
raphinkhehe10:11
LaserJocksistpoty: could we rename the list to workflow or something?10:11
raphinkI made myself a wiki page to coordinate the list of things to be done, and filed bugs for each10:11
sistpotyLaserJock: sure, whatever you want ;)10:11
raphinkreporting the bug numbers to the wiki page10:11
sistpoty(e) wiki-page and bugs as raphink just stated10:12
sistpotyanything else?10:12
LaserJockI think (d) is great if we can get away with it ;-)10:12
sistpotyok, if we have nothing more, then let's start voting :)10:13
raphinkok10:13
=== raphink votes for e obviously :)
=== sistpoty is unsure
LaserJockraphink: really?10:14
raphinkhmm sure10:14
=== sistpoty votes for (e)
raphinkand so far I'm the only one to vote anyway10:14
raphinkah no :)10:15
raphinkwe're two :)10:15
LaserJockI think wiki pages are very difficult for the number of items we are talking about10:15
sistpoty(imo (e) is not as error-prone as (d)) *g*10:15
=== lfittl also votes for e
LaserJockwoah, ok maybe I'm not understanding e then :(10:15
raphinkLaserJock: example of what I mean by (e) : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Transitions/Automake10:16
LaserJockwe would have 1 wiki page that has a list of every package being touched and the corresponding bug?10:16
raphinkyes10:17
raphinkthat's the idea10:17
LaserJockI mean for personal use it seems great but for the MOTU as a whole it seems a bit clunky10:17
raphinkdepends on the amount of things that are gathered on this page I guess10:18
LaserJockI'm talking package that is being touched10:18
raphinkyou mean any touched package10:19
sistpotywell, we had used the wiki for breezy... imo it's not perfect but at least does the job10:19
raphinkyes10:19
raphinkI think some people even automatize wiki pages10:20
raphinkthey make scripts that generate lists and put them on the wiki iirc10:20
raphinknot sure about that though :S10:20
raphinkhuhu10:20
sistpotyoh, nice... only thing I had seen was a generated (but static) list in the wiki10:20
sistpotyok, any other votes?10:21
sistpoty3...10:21
sistpoty2...10:21
sistpoty1...10:21
raphinklol10:21
sistpotypoll closed :)10:21
sistpotythe winner is (e)...10:21
raphinkit seems so10:21
raphinkbarely, but still ;)10:21
raphinklol10:21
sistpotynext question is who will create the initial wiki-page?10:21
raphinkhmmpf10:22
sistpotyif nobody goes for it, I will take care10:22
raphinkamong the people who are still alive on this channel ....10:22
=== Nafallo is not :-P
sistpotyok, then I'll do it ;)10:23
raphinkthanks sistpoty 10:23
raphinkok I think if we're done with this, the meeting is over10:23
sistpotyany other topics that aren't on the agenda?10:23
raphinkunless someone has something else to say10:24
sistpotyraphink: we still need date/time for next meeting10:24
=== raphink shakes the dead body around to try and get an answer
raphinks/body/bodies/10:24
sistpotyseems like everybody has fallen asleep *g*10:24
raphinkyes :(10:25
sistpotyok, when do we want to meet again?10:25
raphinksistpoty: ok when do you and me meet around for a meeting?10:25
Nafallolol10:25
sistpotyhehe... /me checks fridge for upcoming events10:25
=== raphink check fridge for food to cook
raphinksistpoty: I think this was the last MOTU meeting before FF10:26
sistpotyyes10:27
raphinkso ...10:27
sistpotywhat about 28. Feb?10:27
raphinkor the first week of march10:27
raphinkI'm fine for the 28th Feb10:28
sistpotyfirst week of march is fine for me as well10:28
raphinksistpoty: shall we meet in a bar or so ? this is more convenient than IRC if we're 2 or 3 people ;)10:28
raphinksistpoty: any date is fine by me, so just choose :)10:29
sistpotyhehe10:29
sistpotywe could choose 28. Feb... and have the time be discussed on motu-ml, what do you think?10:29
raphinkyep that's good10:29
raphinklet's go for the 28th of feb for now10:29
sistpotyok10:29
sistpoty--> meeting over :)10:30
raphinkyep10:30
raphinkthank you everyone for having stayed so long 10:30
tsengbye all10:30
LaserJocksorry, my boss came by for a safety inspection10:30
raphinkhehe10:30
=== raphink is gonna copy and paste the log
sistpoty*g+10:31
LaserJockok, so should the SyncRequests wiki page be folded into this new page?10:31
LaserJockor should we have one page for each major category?10:32
sistpotyLaserJock: imo just one page10:32
LaserJockso should I move the content of SyncRequests? have you made a page yet?10:33
=== tseng [n=tseng@unaffiliated/tseng] has left #ubuntu-meeting []
