zulafternoon10:01
Keybukif anyone can ping him via other means, do so10:01
KeybukFujitsu: that means you're up first;  please introduce yourself10:01
dholbachq-funk is not on irc.gnome.org either10:01
FujitsuOK.10:01
FujitsuI'm William Grant, from Melbourne, Australia.10:02
FujitsuI've been hanging out with the MOTU for a few months now, and started helping out about 3 months ago.10:02
FujitsuIn that time, I've handled a lot of syncs and merges, as well as a few new upstream versions, and some bugfixes.10:02
FujitsuIn the future I'd like to mainly help LaserJock and co. with MOTU Science, and help with Debian collaboration.10:02
FujitsuEr, that's the end :P10:03
Keybuktell us about MOTU Science10:03
Keybukwhat kinds of thing is that aiming to bring to Ubuntu10:03
mdzFujitsu: who has been uploading your changes for you?10:04
FujitsuWell, there are already quite a few new science packages in Ubuntu that aren't yet in Debian.10:04
Fujitsumdz: Primarily crimsun, but Hobbsee, LaserJock, Gloubiboulga to start.10:04
FujitsuAnd MOTU Science aims to make Ubuntu a viable alternative for scientists10:05
dholbachpeople from ubuntu-universe-sponsors know his mail address quite well - although crimsun is always quicker.10:05
Keybukcrimsun can't be here today, but has mailed in his advocation for you10:05
bddebianhmm10:05
FujitsuGoodo, Keybuk.10:05
Keybukhow do you think Debian collaboration can be improved?10:06
bddebianBoy, that's a loaded question ;-)10:06
FujitsuWell, I was talking with a Debian developer just yesterday, I hadn't spoken to him before.10:06
FujitsuHe said that he didn't really like the automated Ubuntu patch submission, and that he'd generally handle patches only when a bug had been filed.10:07
=== slomo [n=slomo@ubuntu/member/slomo] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
FujitsuI think this needs to be worked on.10:07
FujitsuBecause I believe a lot of DDs have the same attitude.10:07
Fujitsu(although some obviously have a much more negative one)10:07
Keybukdo you think DDs would be happy about adding a further 65,000 bugs to their BTS?10:07
Keybukhow would they react to those that are clearly Ubuntu specific, or clearly duplicates?10:08
FujitsuI'm not quite sure, but I know most aren't happy to just have a big monolithic patch...10:08
FujitsuKeybuk, that's what needs to be figured out.10:08
FujitsuAt the moment, MoM just sends everything.10:08
FujitsuEven if it's Ubuntu-specific, or a duplicate, whatever.10:08
FujitsuAnd some of the deltas are /gigantic/, and DDs are unlikely to work through those.10:09
FujitsuI'm not sure exactly the best way to go about improving collaboration, but it needs to be done.10:09
Keybukarguably the difficulty in sending useful patches back is a fault of Debian for having a fucking-stupid(tm) source package format and manager ... but I won't digress further :p10:10
FujitsuMaybe true.10:11
FujitsuFor example, the guy I was talking to yesterday maintains 915resolution.10:11
Keybukas a MOTU, all the work you will be doing in universe increases this divergence from Debian10:11
FujitsuI know, yes.10:11
Keybukhow will you balance this with your desire to improve collaboration?10:11
LaserJockKeybuk: "all"?10:11
KeybukLaserJock: anything that's not a sync request10:12
FujitsuDivergence isn't mutually exclusive with collaboration.10:12
LaserJockKeybuk: pushing patches back is part of MOTU work as well10:12
FujitsuI would, where feasible, submit appropriate bugs in the bug tracker for the package in Debian, if the fixes indeed applied to Debian too.10:12
FujitsuLaserJock, exactly.10:12
ograLaserJock, ++10:12
Fujitsu(just not a whole lot of people push them back)10:12
bddebianBite your tongue10:12
LaserJockminimizing and maintaining divergence is the MOTUs work10:12

mdzLaserJock: what do you think is the most important area where Ubuntu needs improvement today, technically speaking?10:15
mjg59LaserJock: How do you think we can encourage scientific users to use Ubuntu?10:15

mjg59(Oops - go with mdz first)10:15

mjg59Yes, Fujitsu10:15
LaserJockheh,  I'm not the one going for MOTU today ;-)10:15
mdzFujitsu: yes, sorry10:15
FujitsuAha, good...10:15
ograLaserJock, say education :P10:15
LaserJockogra: of course ;-)10:16
ogra*g*10:16
FujitsuWell, actually, I agree with ogra. There is an enormous lacking of educational Free software. gcompris is one thing, but there's an enormous void in the education sector.10:16
FujitsuBut science is also lacking.10:16
mdzFujitsu: there is a lack of such software, or a lack of it in Ubuntu?10:16
Fujitsumdz, there is a lack of such software in the FOSS community in general.10:17
LaserJockmdz: lack of good software with good licenses :/10:17
cbx33Fujitsu, ++10:17
FujitsuLaserJock, exactly.10:17
Keybukhow is that solvable by the MOTU?10:17
LaserJockMOTU Science keeps track of 400+ packages10:17
mdzFujitsu: while we occasionally develop new software in-house, Ubuntu as a project is primarily about integration, bringing together the software which is available10:17
FujitsuWell, there are some things that are not yet packaged (in science moreso).10:17
Fujitsumdz, noted, but there is some more stuff we can package, especially in science.10:18
minghuathere is always chance to introduce some software unavailable in debian into ubuntu multiverse first10:19

pygiwhy would you put free/open source stuff in multiverse?10:19

mdzFujitsu: that is what MOTU science is doing today, yes?10:19
LaserJockbecause it isn't free10:19
minghuapygi: yes, some scientific software has non-DFSG-free licenses10:19
Fujitsumdz, yes.10:19
Fujitsumdz, as well as maintaining well over 400 packages.10:20
minghuapygi: and there are just no alternatives10:20
pygiminghua, ah, then somebody should make sure alternatives are produced :)10:20
mdzFujitsu: that is a lot of packages. how do you keep track of them all?10:20
LaserJockmdz: me ;-)10:20

cbx33heheh LaserJock's brain holds the key ;)10:20
Fujitsumdz, yeah, LaserJock does a lot, but I keep track of quite a number.10:21
Fujitsumdz, most of them aren't MOTUs.10:21
mdzLaserJock: how do you track bugs for them?10:21
Fujitsumdz, the subscribed bugs page.10:21
mdzI noticed that motuscience isn't a bug contact for any packages10:21
Fujitsumdz, yes we are...10:21
mdzah, never mind, wrong page10:21
LaserJockfor all 400+10:21
mdzit's not a *maintainer* of any packages, but it is a bug contact10:21

LaserJockhttp://tiber.tauware.de/~laserjock/motuscience/all.html for instance10:22
minghuayes, we track a lot of packages, and from what I see, motu-science is very responsive to bug reports10:22
minghuaand a lot of credits goes to Fujitsu 10:22
FujitsuYes, LaserJock's lists are incredibly useful, and make managing the large number of packages sane.10:22
LaserJockbut we need MOTUs in MOTU Science10:22
LaserJock:-)10:22
FujitsuThanks, minghua :)10:22
FujitsuLaserJock, there are 3 at the moment, no?10:22
LaserJockminghua, tritium, and myself10:22
LaserJockalthough bddebian is an honorary member10:23
=== bddebian was feeling left out :-)
mdzLaserJock: it looks a bit like packages.qa.debian.org10:23
minghua(and I am not active during edgy release, that should change for edgy+1)10:23
LaserJockmdz:mhm10:23
LaserJockmdz: I also track the difference between Ubuntu and Debian in terms of packages they don't have10:23
LaserJockmdz: we tend to loose a lot of new Debian packages10:24
LaserJockhttp://tiber.tauware.de/~laserjock/motuscience/ud_diff.html10:24
mdzok, thanks for satisfying my curiosity, though we're digressing a bit10:24
rodarvusLaserJock: you really mean 'loose' or lose?10:24
mdzanything further for Fujitsu?10:24
Keybuknothing from me10:24
Keybukmjg59: ?10:24
FujitsuLike, I went through the list of packages in Debian and not Ubuntu a couple of days ago, and there are 32 new ones, though 12 are in contrib/non-free.10:24
mjg59I'm happy10:25
LaserJockrodarvus: one of the 2 ;-)10:25
Keybukok votes10:25

=== ogra cheers
cbx33I'm Pete Savage, aka cbx33, I'm currently working as an IT manager at a school in Southampton UK.  I became an Ubuntu/Edubuntu Member about a month after helping out in the Edubuntu community.  Originally working on a few bug fixes and documentation.10:25
cbx33Recently I have been working a lot more on developing applications and completing specifications.  I recently completed the Student Control Panel spec, as well as writing gisomount, and working on development of grasynco and gallium10:25
cbx33I would love to get into more packaging, and hope to attend the UDS, where I can gain a better insight into the development process.  I would like to develop and package more educational applications for Edubuntu and would one day hope to become a core-dev.10:25
=== pygi cheers also :P
mjg59cbx33: So who have you been working with in Ubuntu so far?10:26
=== rodarvus cheers too
cbx33ogra, LaserJock, rodarvus, pygi 10:26
mdzcbx33: are you the same pete savage who contributed the sound theme, or a different one?10:26
cbx33many many people 10:26
cbx33mdz, I am indeed10:26
ogracbx33, was the greatest edubuntu developer in the edgy cycle ... he started learning pythion and basic packaging at the beginnign of the cycle and actually finished student-control-panel and packaged it ...10:26
ograas well as his other stuff (gisomount etc)10:27
Keybukcbx33: who has been doing uploads for you so far?10:27
Keybukhave you done many?10:27
cbx33ogra, mainly10:27
pygicbx33 did a marvelous job really....10:27
cbx33and LaserJock too10:27
ograit was very very impressing seeing him getting to speed so fast10:27
cbx33Keybuk, total number of pacakges?10:28
cbx33410:28
LaserJockHe was also my first proofreader *cough*victim*cough* for the Ubuntu Packaging Guide10:28
ogra(on a sidenote the new edubuntu artwork and the ubuntu sounds are also from him, done aside the development he did for us)10:28
rodarvuscbx33 has contributed code, new packages, ideas for edubuntu, and is very helpful & interested, generally speaking10:28
pygirodarvus, don't forget sounds and artwork :)10:28
=== YukiCuss [n=celtic@c58-107-51-55.eburwd7.vic.optusnet.com.au] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Leaving"]
rodarvuspygi, yes, that too10:28
mjg59cbx33: So what would yo10:29
mjg59Oops10:29
mdzcbx33: is Ubuntu the first free software project you've been involved with?10:29
cbx33mdz, I tried to get involved with Fedora at one point10:29
cbx33but found the community to be rather eliteist10:29
cbx33after using ubuntu for about 2months I decided to give the ubuntu community a try10:29
cbx33as Edubuntu fitted in so well with my work10:30
cbx33I also started try ing to create a distro, Devenix10:30
cbx33which was goign to be an entire php development studio on a USB stick....bootable anwhere....10:30
cbx33but this has taken a backseat as Ubuntu is so much fun to work on ;)10:31
mdzcbx33: what made the Ubuntu community different?10:31
cbx33(incidentlt Devenix started as a knoppix prototype but will now be Ubuntu)10:31
cbx33mdz, primarily the attitude10:31
cbx33you can get to speak to the "real" people developing things.....not just people using them10:32
cbx33and people are very ready to help you out10:32
cbx33I remember first going into the motu channel after wanting to find out more about creating a customized live CD, bddebian and dholbach were the first two people I spoke to in ther10:32
mdzcbx33: what kind of difficulties did you have trying to do the same in fedora?10:33
mdzwas it harder to locate the right people?10:33
cbx33for a start the activity was low, and the technical knowledge seemed lacking10:33
cbx33people here either know the answer, can point you to the right doc....or ask you to write the doc when youre done ;)10:33
cbx33and if people don;t know the answer they tell you10:34
cbx33as opposed to just ignoring you10:34
cbx33I don;t feel like a little fish here.....I feel like I actually contribute :D10:34
mjg59cbx33: So you're planning on continuing in much the same way that you currently are?10:34
mdzcbx33: in what way do you feel that joining MOTU will help you in your work?10:34
cbx33mjg59, yes, but getting much more involed in pacakging10:35
mjg59cbx33: Have you done much packaging so far?10:35
cbx33hopefully helping LaserJock out more in MOTU science10:35
mjg59Rather than simply working on existing packages?10:35
cbx33mjg59, I have done a small amount of pacakging, but I hope people find my pacakges well presented and compelte10:36
ogramjg59, he did some from scratch and took over student-control-panel from me which i sponsor for him for main10:36
ograthe quality was excellent, even the amount wasnt big yet 10:36
LaserJockmjg59: I also helped him learn how to package with is own upstream product gisomount10:36
cbx33LaserJock, ++10:36
LaserJockmjg59: but I found I really didn't need to help him10:36
mjg59Ok, sounds good10:36
cbx33hehe10:37
cbx33LaserJock, it was your great docs ;)10:37
mdzKeybuk: anything further?10:37
Keybuknothing from me10:37
ogracbx33, btw a good comunity doesnt only consist of people helping you, its also a matter how you ask your questions ;)10:37
cbx33ogra, noted10:37
ograits a two way thing ;)10:37
cbx33of course ;)10:38
mdzok, votes10:38
mjg59+1 based on testimony and impressive contributions so far10:38
mdz+1, thanks for your contributions10:38
Keybuk+1, I think in any circumstance where you haven't got skills so far, you know where and who to ask and how to help others learn after you10:39
pygicongrats cbx33 :)10:39
rodarvuscbx33, congratulations!10:39

KeybukI don't believe q-funk has arrived10:39
mdzcbx33: congratulations and welcome10:39
cbx33thank you mdz 10:39
mjg59Do we have any other business?10:39
Keybukand I'm not aware of any people pending ubuntu-core-dev membersjip10:39
mdzwe need to clear out the ubuntu-dev proposed members list10:40
Keybukwhat's the procedure for doing that?10:40
mdzwhat's needed is to email each applicant and find out what their status is10:40
Keybukget dholbach to mail them?10:41
dholbachI mailed each and everyone of them10:41
dholbach(that had a public mail address)10:41
dholbachand notified mdz of everyone of them mailing me back10:41
mdzdholbach: so these are the ones who did not respond?10:41
dholbachyes10:41
Keybukshall we decline them all, they will get a mail as a result10:42
mdzdholbach: if you can confirm the dates when you mailed them, I'll expire the applications10:42
dholbachI usually do it the day or the next day I work, but yeah - I can compile a list and double-check10:42
Keybukmdz: there's a mass-decline facility now10:42
LaserJockheh10:42
Keybukwe should do the same for core-dev10:42
mdzdholbach: it would be good form to note the date of the mail in the message when they're declined; I wouldn't want to accidentally decline someone inapporpriately10:44
dholbachok, i'll mail you the list tomorrow10:44
mdzdholbach: no big hurry, it can wait until after beta10:44
mdzsometime before the next TB meeting10:44
dholbachok10:44
bddebianYeah, whack me :-)10:45
ograjust dont wipe sbalneav, he just applied ;)10:45
sbalneav:)10:45
mdzok, I think we're done10:45
mc44_I just had a quick question; re: mozilla/debian trademark business, I gather some ubuntu people are talking to Mozilla about this, would it be possible for someone to send a mail to -devel about whats happening/or when a decision is made, to clarify the situation?10:46
mdzmc44_: I have a dialog with Mike Connor at Mozilla on this issue10:46
mdzthat's all there is to say so far; if there's news, I'll mail -devel10:46
mc44_mdz, great, thanks10:46
