[12:16] gratz, zenwhen :) [12:16] I started my Ubuntu contributions by hanging out @ ubuntuforums and writing some HOWTO's about packaging and backporting stuff from Debian. I also help people there to package/build their own stuff, and I maintain a small repository to supply some community requested packages that are not available for (stable) Ubuntu's. [12:16] Thanks. [12:16] I'm very interested in ways that Ubuntu (and Debian) collaborate with open-source world and produce quality for end-users. I eventually found out about MOTUing process and a way to contribute to Ubuntu Java community by becoming a MOTU and start contributing on universe's Java section. To catch things up I joined up in few teams @ launchpad and began squashing bugs, submitting sync and merge requests (thanks crimsun, hobbesee and [12:16] My plans in a nutshell are: * Improve Ubuntu's Java support (hopefully by MOTUing) * Help with syncs&merges * Become a Ubuntu member * Become a MOTU * Transform some great ubuntuforums articles made by others into Wiki content [12:17] Wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mlind [12:17] Launchpad profile: https://launchpad.net/~mlind [12:17] sabdfl in his python-fanaticism will be unhappy to hear it's at the bboston-ruby group ;) [12:17] Ubuntuforums profile: http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=52272 === gapz [i=gapz@sceen.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting === manicka [n=GrantG@ubuntu/member/manicka] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["om] [12:18] mlind: are there reasons for not including your packages in multiverse/backports/whatever?

[12:24] ok :) [12:24] I'm Adrien Cunin, 16 years old French student. I have been an active contributor since the end of the dapper cycle with translation. For edgy, I started bug triaging (I'm part of the QA team now) and packaging. [12:24] Today I'm more focused on packaging, MOTU work: merges/syncs, bugs fixing. I packaged some new programs, and I'm going to maintain two of them in Debian (they are currently in the NEW queue). [12:24] You can find the detail of my packaging work on my wiki page.

[12:30] I am Albin Tonnerre, student in electronics and computer science in France [12:30] I started using linux and ubuntu over a year ago, when breezy was released, as I was looking for an opensource and free OS. I use ubuntu as my only OS on a daily basis. [12:30] My main interests are helping out the users on the forums and IRC, and I also like packaging. I try to contribute to ubuntu as much as I can, especially with packaging in my two major fields of interests - Enlightenment dr17 and mutimedia - I've been maintaining the e17 repo hosted on edevelop for six month now and work on somes packages for medibuntu (former plf) [12:30] I'm also moderator on the ubuntu-fr forum where I try to help users as mush as possible [12:30] Lp : https://launchpad.net/people/lutin- wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlbinTonnerre [12:30] Unfortunately gpocentek can't be here, he is my main mentor, but he left a note on my wiki page [12:31] are there other ubuntu-fr people around?

[12:32] Seveas: maybe this is my last one.. maybe one more [12:32] we build E17 repo, and we work on our own revu website [12:32] mako, ok [12:32] Seveas: mostly because the lead developper asked us nicely not to put the packages in ubuntu nor debian for te moment === rrittenhouse [n=tad@cpe-76-188-35-66.neo.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [12:33] Lutin, fair enough :) [12:33] mako, may i ask you for one more? :) [12:33] Lutin really done a good work in packaging stuff and helping people on IRC or Forum [12:33] Seveas: I'm also working with the pkg-e team for its integration in debian [12:33] excellent [12:33] everything that reduces the ubuntu <-> debian delta is good [12:33] :) [12:34] Seveas: I agree with you. [12:34] Lutin (and Sp4rKy too) are doing a huge work to package e17 and make it available on the edevelop repository [12:34] Lutin ? [12:35] is the E17 popular? [12:35] sabdfl: a little yes [12:35] more popular than the E shipped by Ubuntu proper [12:35] Lutin got a +1 from me, he's doing a really great job as moderator on the forums... nice and helpful :) [12:35] and it's quite fast and bling-y so it attracts people === robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [12:35] sabdfl: can't recall exactly, let's say 80Go bandwith per month [12:36] doesn't make sense to have different' E's, in ubuntu and separately [12:36] Lutin: a little bit more i think, i've more than 100Go a month on the mirror :) [12:36] easier for devs to get testing feedback on that in the normal repo === somerville32 [n=somervil@ubuntu/member/somerville32] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [12:37] sabdfl: the devel team doesn't want to have to provide support for users [12:37] as it's far from being ready [12:37] that's mostly why we didn't try to put them in ubuntu for now [12:37] sabdfl: Lutin the stats of the mirror for e17 announce 300user by day [12:38] well, since there's no iso, you're unlikely to get folks who don't know how to select their own packages [12:38] and that's not much harder than adding a repo [12:38] so, it's just an obstacle to testing and feedback [12:38] and a source of confusion, imo [12:38] i understand the "i don't want to be flooded" === manicka [n=manicka_@ubuntu/member/manicka] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [12:38] but i think it's a little misguided [12:38] that's a source of good clean bug reports [12:38] sabdfl: talk about that with rasterman :p [12:39] would be happy to - give him my email address === Acrid [n=acrid@209-33-198-37-dsl.infowest.net] has left #ubuntu-meeting [] [12:39] ok :) [12:40] sabdfl: you'll find that many things about e17 go against what many consider best practice [12:40] sabdfl: the goal of the project is to be iconoclastic [12:40] like a development time longer than winxp ;) [12:40] sabdfl: that's both the greatest source of criticism and the reason people like it [12:41] but.. there are E17 packages in ubuntu, right? [12:41] sabdfl: no [12:41] sabdfl: no [12:41] ok [12:41] older version of E? [12:41] 0.16.7.x iirc [12:41] i don't think [12:41] ok [12:41] E16 [12:41] years old [12:42] totally different [12:42] alright, i really need to leave [12:42] ok, well +1 from me, though i'd like to see the placement of the packages sorted out [12:42] cheers mako, and happy new year (russian ;-)) [12:42] +1 from me as well [12:42] see you next time mako [12:42] i'm getting to the end of my run too [12:42] i'm happy to echo both of sabdf's comment [12:42] elmo, +1/0/-1?

I am an eighteen year old German geek who started dealing with ubuntu about one year ago. Very soon after Breezy had made me love linux and ubuntu i started helping other users on forums and the IRC. I also started promoting ubuntu to my friends. I managed to replace windows on many of my mates' computers with ubuntu. Up to now I wrote two different articles about ubuntu for computer/linux ma [12:45] gs and many postings to several forums to promote ubuntu and to support people using it. In addition to that I began to do presentations, e.g. in school or university. I was present at last year's LinuxWorldExpo in Cologne as an active ubuntero at the German ubuntu booth. A summary of my contributions is fetchable from my wiki. [12:45] thanks :D [12:45] sabdfl: no, i'm fine giving Seveas admin privledges on launchpad [12:45] wiki: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/dennda launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~dennda === LaserJock [n=mantha@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has left #ubuntu-meeting [] [12:45] i have dennda, atoponce, tristanbob, mr_pouit, Gwaihir, Vorian_, DktrKranz on the list from here [12:46] ok cool [12:46] dennda is the leading representative of the ubuntu community in my region. he tries his best to make everyone use ubuntu and even calls on people with his laptop when they need support.

[12:50] sabdfl, yes i hope so [12:50] sabdfl, i think it is all about connections [12:51] sabdfl, this means that we have to improve these connections. we can talk to people from the media on events like the LinuxWorldExpo for example [12:51] do you think you could draft some guidelines for how loco teams can build and maintain those connections? [12:51] good idea! [12:51] sabdfl, of course [12:51] yes please [12:51] dennda: please share them on the loco-contacts mailing list [12:52] +1 from me on the back of strong advocacy [12:52] over a sustained period of time [12:52] i certainly will, but this has to wait at least one week.

I am a member of the UtahTeam, active on IRC and semi-active on the forums. I first started Linux in '99 with Slackware, moved to RPM-based distros and settled down on Ubuntu when Warty was released.

(Ok, we *ALWAYS* talk about Ubuntu) ;) [12:55] I'm here to vouch for atoponce. I started the UtahTeam about a year ago and he was one of the early members. I think the best I could say about Aaron is that if I could no longer lead the Utah Team I would ask him to take my place.

You can start reading about me on the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TristanRhodes [01:04] atoponce, you'll also have to wait for mako [01:05] Seveas: np [01:05] I have been with Ubuntu since the beginning (2004). At that time, I was thinking about running UserLinux as my Linux desktop. Lucky for me, I began hearing about a secret Debian-based distribution (http://no-name-yet.com) that was being created by the "Warty Warthogs". [01:05] After downloading and installing the Ubuntu 4.10 Preview Release, I fell in love with Ubuntu at first sight! I was infatuated with how Ubuntu took the best parts of Debian (huge apt repositories, commitment to open source software, great community) and improved on all the things that Debian lacked (regular releases, simple install). It was a dream come true! [01:05] I truly believe that the world will be a better place when people of all backgrounds have access to high-quality free software. There is a principle that the more resources that are applied to open source software, the better it becomes for everyone (not just paying customers). That is why I promote the use and adoption of open source software every chance I get. [01:05] Open source software is not always better quality than proprietary software, but I do believe it is always ethically superior. [01:05] My main contributions have been in advocacy and documentation. I have presented about Ubuntu in several Linux User Group meetings, and I share my love for Ubuntu to everyone who listens. :) My documentation efforts have been on the Ubuntu wiki, and also in my blog. [01:05] In the future I hope to create packages for my favorite applications, but as an intermediate step I have created scripts to install these applications on Ubuntu. [01:06] sabdfl, no-name-yet.com points to changelogs now :) [01:06] i'm here to root for tristanbob. as president of oalug, it's always good to have someone you can rely on. tristanbob is my rock in our local lug. whenever i need something, i know he'll step up to the plate. heck, if it weren't for him, i would not be here today. [01:06] tristanbob: what documentation have you worked on? === dous [n=dous@209.190.9.168] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [01:06] (can't see from your wiki page) [01:06] Seveas: meh [01:06] tristanbob: oh sorry, I see it now [01:06] mdke: just a few wiki pages - you have corrected my formatting once before. [01:06] :) [01:07] elmo, you read my mind [01:07] Seveas, you got meh in your mind ? [01:07] I'm also here to root for Tristan. He's been another very active member of the Utah Team. He's very knowledgeable and regularly advocates Ubuntu. I think he's been a good source of recruitment for the team and I'm glad to have him. [01:08] tristanbob: aha, good job [01:08] tristanbob, "Download and test alpha releases (flights, knots, herds, etc) on a virtual machine" thats a very significant contribution we currently can not really measure, do you have any idea or suggestions how we could make the testing more measurable ?

[01:13] Today I'm a bit more focused on integrating my packages into Debian (they are currently in the NEW queue).

[01:13] I'm also a moderator on the ubuntu-fr forum where I try to help users as much as possible [01:13] Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LionelLeFolgoc LP: https://launchpad.net/~mrpouit [01:13] tristanbob, preliminary welcome :) [01:13] Unfortunately, Gauvain Pocentek, who is my main sponsor/mentor, can't be here for the meeting. [01:13] French is good :) [01:14] mr_pouit, did you bring cheerleaders? [01:14] tristanbob: congrats [01:14] tristanbob, grats [01:14] i've done many work with mr_pouit [01:15] As a french ubuntu user and ircop, I would like to cheer up for mr_pouit who is really helping people using and contributing to ubuntu. [01:15] tristanbob: atoponce: congrats. [01:15] I work with mr_pouit on the medibuntu project and some other packaging stuff, I can say he's doing really great job [01:15] tristanbob, congrats and dont drop the testing ;) [01:15] especially in plf & medibuntu work, and in some other packaging stuff [01:15] and besides spends a lot of time helping out new users with packaging and other stuff [01:16] mr_pouit: quite a few new packages during december, what is the main focus of your interest? [01:16] mr_pouit, like lutin and me, try to help people who try to learn packaging, so we help us creating package and make them better before put them to revu [01:16] ogra: thanks - I will keep up the testing (it helps if I use your correct nick) === Toadstool cheers on mr_pouit [01:17] tristanbob, yeah, else OgMaciel had to grow a lot of hair :) [01:17] he's done a really good packaging job so far [01:17] mr_pouit: how many people would you say you have mentored as part of MOTU? [01:17] ogra: hehehehe [01:17] sabdfl, in fact, I received a macbook during december, and I spend a lot of time to "play" with it [01:18] sabdfl, hmm, I help 3, 4 french packagers :) [01:18] sabdfl, that's why I made less packages during december [01:19] (yes, I answer to the questions in the wrong order ^^) [01:19] ok, +1 from me for mr_pouit on the back of packaging, and I encourage you to join MOTU formally!
