SeveasKamion, ny thoughts exactly01:22
=== Hobbsee may be able to do some IRC op'ing, and is in australia

Kamiontechnical ability and operational permission are different, as any sysadmin will know ...01:23
Seveasrob, I am channel/group contact - consider this approval01:23
robah, when did that change?01:23
apokryphossome time ago01:24
Seveasless than 2 weeks ago01:24
apokryphosoh :-O01:24

robsounds good to me01:24
Seveasgroup contact a few months ago01:24
apokryphosah yes01:24

=== gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@adsl-221-44-64.rmo.bellsouth.net] has left #ubuntu-meeting []

Kamionwell, the note is on the wiki for him01:25
Kamionlocoteams01:25
Kamionsmurf: here?01:25
SeveasKamion, by that reasoning all ubuntu members should be forum administrators too 01:25
robjust make them show up here at a meeting, and get the nod01:26
MarioMeyerif all members were ops we could have a LOT of people applying for membership only to get ops.01:26
SeveasMarioMeyer, true that01:26
robthats true too01:26
KamionSeveas: exactly01:26
apokryphossome do with that in mind, anyway.01:26
roband a lot of people are just not suitable for it anyway01:26
azeemsince when is being ops fun, anyway?01:26
robits not :)01:26
Seveasok, I consider it rejected - I'll ask jpatrick for his side of the reasoning and maybe put it back on the agenda01:26
Specfor the record, i don't want to be an op on irc :p01:26

robok, I'm off to bed, bye01:27
highvoltagepoeple who have @hotmail.com accounts want to be ops, usually.01:27
G0SUBSeveas yes01:27
apokryphosazeem: it's a common thing; if you're in a community for some time, it's not so farfetch'd to see ops as an elite participant in the community. Some people like the concept of more power. ;-)01:27

G0SUByes ...01:28
G0SUBHello, we are here to apply for `official status' for the Indian LoCo01:28
G0SUBTeam. We have done quite a lot of work for both Debian & Ubuntu in the01:28
G0SUBpast and have worked on issues related to Indic Computing. Our members01:28
G0SUBcontinue to contribute to the two projects in terms of localisation and01:28
G0SUBdevelopment. Most of us have worked for Debian as a part of the01:28
G0SUBDebian-IN Team. For example, soumyadip here is the maintainer of01:28
G0SUBttf-indic-fonts & numerous Indic aspell dictionaries for both Debian &01:28
G0SUBUbuntu. gora has done a great amount of Oriya translations01:28
G0SUB(https://launchpad.net/people/gora-mohanty), I am the maintainer of the01:28
G0SUBDebian Graphical Installer Bengali Translations and a member of Ubuntu01:28
G0SUBBengali Translations Team (https://launchpad.net/people/g0sub). svaksha01:28
G0SUBco-wrote the Sanskrit (sa) Locale with Christian Perrier, and there are01:28
G0SUBa lot of other members who have contributed a lot in terms of l10n and01:28
G0SUBbug reports, and not to mention advocacy and distributing CDs.  So here01:28
G0SUBI would request the CC team to grant the Indian LoCo Team official01:28
G0SUBstatus and let us continue our work as the LoCo Team for India.01:28
G0SUB...01:28
Kamionwhoa, big intro01:29
Seveasgood intro01:29
G0SUBhehe01:29
G0SUBa big country :)01:29
SeveasHow many members does your team have?01:29
Kamionhow's Ubuntu been received in India?01:29
G0SUBKamion Ubuntu is almost #1 in India01:29
KamionI know that the installer's been weak on many Indian languages due to console limitation01:29
jsgotangcoive seen pics of sabdfl swamped by locals during his tour in india01:29
Kamions01:29
G0SUBSeveas we have 15+ people if you consider translators01:29
goraSeveas: 23 signed up at last count: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IndianTeam01:29
Kamionhopefully that will change with the live CD installer (and I hope we can get testing and translations from you guys)01:29
G0SUB of all languages01:30
SeveasG0SUB, not bad!01:30
KamionG0SUB: almost #1> whom do we still need to beat? :)01:30
G0SUBhehe01:30
SeveasI really like that the team is active in both Debian and Ubuntu01:30
goraKamion: Le chapeau rouge01:30
Kamionah, predictable01:30
G0SUBSeveas we have Debian-IN project specifically for this ...01:30
Spec(Where can I find a list of existing LoCos?)01:31
goraNot to mention that most of us also work for IndLinux (http://indlinux.org) language teams, though this is not an official IndLinux project at the moment.01:31
KamionIs there anything you guys need help with?01:31
SeveasSpec, LocoTeamList on the wiki01:32
G0SUBKamion we need infrastructure like a website, mailing lists, ubuntu-in.org, etc.01:32
G0SUBKamion I have mailed Henrik Omma about that already01:32
Kamionas I understand it smurf generally can/does deal with a fair bit of that01:32
G0SUByes, smurf too01:32
Kamionalthough he does a sufficiently good job that I have remained blissfully unaware of the details :-)01:33
Kamionif there's a delay on mailing list creation, contact jdub01:33
Seveasmailing lists  jdub, ubuntu-CC.org  smurf01:33
G0SUBKamion and there are a few things, like a few apps with Indic specific patches ... we would like to have them in Ubuntu01:33
Seveaswebsite: your own responsibility afaik -- does Ubuntu/Canonical offer hosting?01:33
G0SUBSeveas they do01:33
KamionG0SUB: perhaps you could put together a hit-list somewhere and post a URL to that list to #ubuntu-devel01:34
KamionSeveas: linode01:34
G0SUBKamion yes, we are already working on putting together a list01:34
Kamion(iirc)01:34
MarioMeyerKamion, serverponto also01:34
G0SUBit's Linode and is provided by Henrik Omma according to the wiki01:34
Kamionok, I see no problem with granting the Indian team official status, if smurf is happy with how things are going01:35

makothere's one thing i wanted to bring up02:16
Kamionsure02:16
makowe can phrase this as a general question02:17
makobut i've been approached by people who are wondering if contributions to launchpad count as contributions to the ubuntu community02:18
makoin the course of work for canonical or not02:18
makocleary, contributions to support of ubuntu users and ubuntu conferences counts02:18
makobut does launchpad development count towards membership02:18
Kamionthe only time it's come up really to date has been when Daniel Silverstone was up for membership02:19
makowe don't need to answer this right now unless y'all have strong feelings02:19
=== juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
Kamionbut in his case we were also familiar with his work on Debian02:19
SeveasWork on Debian generally is seen as a contribution to Ubuntu - I think it's no more than reasonable to follow the same reasoning for work on launchpad as launchpad is a direct support of Ubuntu02:19

alleeFuture Plans: Working more on enhancement and integration of pkgs. e.g. media support, usability, and consistency. Easier setup of networks, in general, everything that helps using Kubuntu on laptop easier. At least keeping an eye on MOTU/Teams/Science, getting involved if time permits. 02:23

ogradolson, !! 02:29
Seveasdolson, your 3-liner please02:29
MarioMeyercongrats allee 02:29
=== ogra cheers for the audio freak
dolsonFirst, sorry this is long. I'm long-winded, and this is only 15% of what I had originally.02:29
dolsonI'm a musician, and that drives 95% or more of my contributions. So far, I had only used Audacity to record, but wanted to expand to use JACK, and looked into Ardour. I discovered something appauling on their website: "Warning: [...]  Ubuntu and Debian distributions are not recommended [...]  they tend to cause many problems [...]  for users aimed at using applications like ardour."02:29
dolsonMy long-term goal is to rectify this, and help make Ubuntu a recommended audio distro. My short-term goal is to work toward my long-term goal, a package at a time. My wiki (ubuntustudio.com) will fill any gaps with HOW-TOs in the meantime. Dapper has improved in performance, configuration, and has some new apps. A step up from Breezy, and I'm excited for the future.02:29
Seveas(and please keep that ferret away from me :p)02:29
dolsonThis came out of an email I sent Mark, requesting Ubuntu support musicians. He heard me and put me in touch with some of his team. They gave me info that I ignored until one day, early February. I decided to try packaging. I read the info Daniel sent, and got started. I packaged some new apps and a few patches from Malone. Thanks to the MOTU team, most of these are in Dapper. It can be frustrating dealing with a newbie like me, but 02:29
=== gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@adsl-221-44-64.rmo.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
dolsonthey have been only helpful and understanding.02:30
dolsonTo sum up, I have to say: this is my distro. There are many like it, but this one is mine.02:30
raphinkdolson has been uploading a whole lot of packages for the ubuntustudio project on REVU lately02:30
raphinkand fixing them fast when required02:30
ograyeah02:30
siretartI've reviewed some of them. I'm happy with dolsons work so far!02:31
raphinkhe's been active in the MOTU 02:31
jsgotangcoi'm more convinced with his pics than his contributions02:31
jsgotangco:)02:31
jsgotangcojoke02:31
=== ogra is regulary looking on the ubuntustudio page for edubuntu candidates for audio editing :)
SeveasAudio on Ubuntu/linu in general needs to go some big leaps ahead - if dolson can help with that it'd be great02:31
ograyeah, the picture is *very* convincing 02:31
SeveasFeb 10. however is only a month ago02:31
dolsonthat's when I started packaging, yes02:32
jsgotangcoas well as the affair with warez02:32
KamionI've done a huge pile of NEW processing on stuff that dolson's uploaded, and it all looks good to me02:32
dolsonI've been on the forums for over a year, IIRC02:32
ograSeveas, ubuntustudio is older and there were discussions on the mailing lists log ago about it already02:32
KamionI'm happy with dolson for membership despite the relatively short timescale02:32
=== ogra remembers dolson
jsgotangcoyeah02:32
Seveasok, 1 down02:32
dolsonIt was suggested that I become a MOTU, so this is the first step towards that02:33
jsgotangcodolson, do you own ubuntustudio.com?02:33
dolsonjsgotangco: I do02:33
jsgotangcothat figures02:33
dolsonabout 98% of the work on it I did02:33
=== jsgotangco loved the site
makothe work looks great but 1mon seems a bit short02:33
ograits way longer than a month02:34
jsgotangcoim pretty much familiar with the nick too02:34
Seveasogra, but that's not documented on his wikipage02:34
ogra(that he is involved inn ubuntu)02:34
raphinkmako: well it's one month packaging for MOTU, but the work was longer02:34
siretarthis work as packager is one month. his work as ubuntu contributor is longer02:34
jsgotangcowell02:34
makoah, ok02:34
makosure then02:34
dolsonI've also promoted Ubuntu on a case-by-case basis, and converted at least one person, if that counts for anything02:34

phanaticI'm a university student from Budapest, Hungary. I administer an Ubuntu server at the university in my hometown. I installed my first Linux back in 99-00. After trying several distros I chose Debian, but since Hoary I use Ubuntu.02:36
phanaticMy contribution to Ubuntu involves: organizing the Hungarian Community (launched the site ubuntu.hu, localization), spreading the word in the country (I presented Ubuntu in the TV and radio as well), doing some packaging for MOTU (currently maintainer of 4 pkgs).02:36
phanaticIn the future I'd like to join the MOTU team to help their work, and I'd also like to continue my local community activity to spread free softwares, and Ubuntu of course :)02:36

janimohere's the agenda Daniele proposed07:04
janimo1) XfceGoodies07:04
nomedthere are some new ones ready07:05
janimonice progress this week, if you can keep up the packaging we07:05
nomedbut i still need to fix little stuff07:05
janimowill be finished in two weeks07:05
janimoat most07:05
janimonomed, I am waiting for the thumb up sign near the goodies before looking at the,07:05
janimothem07:05
nomedwhat's nice is that almost all the ones that were already in breezy are working  again now07:05
nomedjanimo, yes07:06
janimodiskperf was packaged by Gauvain07:06
janimobut did not work on my box07:06
Gloubiboulgapackaged, but doesn't work07:06
Gloubiboulganeither on mine in fact07:06
nomedyes ..07:06
janimoGloubiboulga: oh, ok07:06
janimogoodies upstreams are not too busy since 4.4 is not in sight07:06
janimowe may have to ping them, report bugs 07:07
Gloubiboulgayes07:07
GloubiboulgaI can send some mails for that07:07
janimoI am trying to finish screenshot myself then upload it07:07
janimoGloubiboulga: would be nice07:07
nomedxfce4-websearch-plugin <-- this works but it's not possible to resize the text entry07:08
Gloubiboulgaok, I'll take care of that07:08
nomedjanimo, do you know how to fix it ?07:08
janimonomed, you mean the websearch resize?07:08
nomedyes07:08
janimoor diskperf?07:08
janimoI could take a look07:08
nomedwebsearch07:08
janimobut I have not used the plugin07:08
nomedxmms works nicely07:08
janimoif it works and only reszie is borked it's ok to upload07:09
nomedok07:09
janimoyou shpould just make sure it is packaged ok, and works07:09
janimobugs we'll fix later or have upstream fix them07:09
nomedjanimo, i'm fixing it07:09
janimook, ping me whenever they're in the state quicklauncher was.07:09
nomedthey generate some files as it is reported in debuild log from revu-report07:10
nomedk07:10
janimoit also spews warning to the panel ocnsole but works07:10
nomedxfce4-datetime-plugin <-- should be removed i feel07:10
janimowhy?07:10
janimoI have nothing agaisnt removing just want to know the reaosn07:11
nomedit doesn't seem maintained anymore07:11
nomedand it's not working07:11
janimogood reason enough07:11
janimowe have clock in the panel that will do07:11
nomedyep07:11
nomedanyway we should check all of them when we've pkged all the working ones07:12
janimois websearch the same plugin written by ema from debian xfce?07:12
janimoor is that called smt else07:12
nomedchecking svn logs and sending mails to xfce-devel07:12
janimoxfce-goodies more appropriate probably07:13
janimomaybe a summary to devel07:13
nomedjanimo, i don't remeber07:13
janimoI cannot post from gmane to gogodies for some reason07:13
nomedohh yes xfce-goodies07:13
janimoweather plugin crashes I assume07:13
=== dholbach_ [n=daniel@george.kkhotels.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
nomedit's working here07:14
nomedthat version is working07:14
janimook07:14
janimothen let me know whenever any of these is good for upload07:14
nomedok07:14
janimoshall we start on 2) archiver07:14
janimo?07:14
=== highvoltage [n=Jono@mtngprs7.mtn.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
nomedok07:14
nomedthunar has that plugin07:15
janimoyes, but we need to decide on one of the two apps07:15
nomedi have still to figure out how it is integrated in thunar :/07:15
janimojoys of choice07:15
nomedjanimo, exactly07:15
nomedi asked to both07:15
nomedxarchive and xarchiver devel07:15
janimoI see they both recomend the other on tehir page07:15
janimobut none says one is better07:16
nomedwho would try to integrate it in thunar07:16
janimosmart07:16
janimothat plugin calls out to file roller now from what I saw07:16
nomedi think xarchiver is better07:16
janimome too, but only from a cursory look07:16
nomedjanimo, it's faster07:16
janimoyes I noticed that07:16
nomedand xarchive randomly crasches07:16
janimowhen you have a clean pkg of xarchiver I'll upload it07:17
nomedk07:17
janimothen we can look into integrating that plugin07:17
janimoI think that will be a patch in thunr no new package to07:17
janimonot be stuck in NEW07:17
nomedjanimo, as benny told it should be patched even the archive manager07:17
=== ..[topic/#ubuntu-meeting:Seveas] : Calendar: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/ | 8 Mar 12:00 UTC: Edubuntu | 9 Mar 08:00 UTC: Dapper Development Status | 14 Mar 20:00 UTC: Technical Board | 16 Mar 20:00 UTC: Kubuntu
janimoit's same upstream esentially07:17
nomedi think it will affect even the xarchive(r) itself07:18
nomedjanimo, yes07:18
nomedit's just to see better where there are regressions07:18
janimook07:19
janimothen the steps are: pack and upload xarchiver07:19
janimothen look at the intercation with the plugin07:19
janimoeven without the plugin having an archiver is already a win07:19
nomedyep07:20
janimoand meantime listen to what the two xarch upstreams say 07:20
nomedsure07:20
janimo3) look07:20
nomeduhuh07:20
janimothe wiki page should closely resemble U & K07:20
janimoright now is a recursive linkage with not accurate categories07:21
janimolet's wait maybe and see how they populate theirs07:21
nomedjanimo, those links below DapperXubuntuLook07:21
nomedare the existing wiki subpage 07:22
nomedi try to explain what's my proposal for that stuff07:22
janimowell at least the colors and logo entries at the top are confusing07:22
nomedthat's true07:22
janimoand lead to pages which deal with other art stuff07:22
nomedjanimo, those two page07:23
janimoshould look exacltly like u&k so their people navigate as easily and know how to compare07:23
nomedcolors and logo07:23
janimoand others too07:23
nomedwill exist untill we'll not have a page as this one07:23
nomedhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official07:23
nomedat the moment xubuntu lacks of those infos .. materials07:24
janimoright, but they should be on a separate page since this has to resemble the other Look pages07:24
nomedjanimo, i agree ..07:24
janimoand I think we could stick our stuff in the link you mentioned07:24
nomedit 's just that now DapperXubuntuLook07:24
nomedis on #dapper-look topic07:25
janimowe know the logo at least07:25
nomedand people will not find anywhere those info07:25
nomedand for an artist the palette is fundamental07:25
=== jarufe [n=jarufe@pc-155-140-104-200.cm.vtr.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
janimook, then a discrete link (one) at the bottom would do07:25
nomedthat's to show we've not an official one 07:25
nomedk07:25
janimothe colors page should not have link to proposals/workflow and such07:26
nomedjanimo, ok07:26
janimook right at the top a link to xubuntuArtwork 07:26
nomedi was just trying to collect materials07:27
janimoand then they can have a background on what we have so far07:27
nomedi need some help on this07:27
janimocurrent artwork pages are a bit disorganized07:27
janimothe purpose of the Look page is to 07:27
janimotake that data and organize it07:27
janimonot link back to it adding to the confusion :)07:27
nomedyes ... the problem here is that xubuntu is not sync with kubuntu and ubuntu :/07:28
nomedwe have the advantage that we can see how they 'll do that stuff07:28
janimosync as in communication with artists?07:28
nomedbut at the same time we can't organize that much material07:28
janimoas they fill the look page, we put our xubuntu equivalent there nothing more07:29
janimowe can already put a logo07:29
janimoa link to the running mouse for splash07:29
nomedjanimo, yep07:29
janimoteh usplash and gdm theme07:29
janimowhat we have now07:29
nomedthe problem here is that an artist needs a color palette07:29
janimothen if we chaneg those update the look page07:29
nomedand svg images07:29
janimojust so everybidy know our current status07:30
nomedi feel an artist get lost without such stuff07:30
janimowell, with the color palette I don;t know what we should do07:30
nomedjanimo, we need one07:30
nomedthat's the first step07:30
janimotrue, I'd let Jozef Mak or someone else who is an artist chose the palette07:30
janimoI cannot do it :)07:31
nomedjanimo, a guy from tango people07:31
janimook07:31

nomedi hope during this week we'll see some progress07:32
janimolet's have it there on Look so that people at the UI sprint at least know we exist :)07:32
nomedDapperXubuntuLook is even in #dapper-look topic07:32
janimoI saw that07:33
nomedi think that should help very much07:33
janimothat's why it has to be short and to the point07:33
janimowith a link back to xubu artwork07:33
janimobut not a replica of all that stuff07:33
nomedk07:33
janimofor instance that 3D studio max style usplash needs to go :)07:33
nomedjanimo, i try to explain my idea07:33
nomedehehe07:33

nomedscroll the page07:34
janimobut we do not really have a use for most of those as I said on the list07:34
janimotrash, network, printer etc07:34
nomedubuntu will use a modified tango icon theme07:35
janimoopenoffice07:35
nomedxubuntu can inherit from it07:35
janimosure07:35
janimoonce they settle07:35
janimoit is still preliminary from what I hear07:35
nomedand that guy is adding missing icons for xfce07:35
janimoat least we agree that the original mouse in wheel is _the_ logo07:35
janimogreat07:36
nomedso xubuntu-icon-theme07:36
nomedwill be a small pkge07:36
nomedwith missing icons07:36
janimowe may just put it in xfce-icon-theme to not have yet another pkg07:36
nomedand inheriting from ubuntu-icon-theme07:36
nomedthis will be the xubuntu-icon-theme in this way07:36
nomedXubuntuHuman --> Human --> Hicolor07:37
janimook07:37
nomedsame for gdm07:37
nomedonce we'll have a palette07:37
nomedit'll be just needed to modify the colors07:37
nomedand same for all the rest07:37
nomedthis is my idea07:37
janimoyes07:38
nomedthat's why i think palette is high priority 07:38
janimoI think best would be to find someone actually responsible to lead the xubuntu art effort07:38
janimoI cannot do it 07:38
nomedjanimo, i can do that07:38
