mdz__keybuk: forwarding to techboard10:04
mdzsent10:04
mdzwe're up to date with MOTU applications from the MOTU council10:05
mdzand I'm not aware of any core-dev applications10:05
dholbachHobbsee was proposed for core-dev10:05
mdz__keybuk: has anyone reminded sabdfl already?10:05
mdzdholbach: oh, did I miss an email?10:05
=== LaserJock [n=mantha@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
dholbachand was recommended by a few people10:05
dholbachmdz: the problem is that the process is not clear yet10:05
mdzhence your agenda item10:05
ajmitchLaserJock also wanted in, iirc10:06
LaserJockoh sweet, not too late10:06
mdzdholbach: I think it should be handled similarly to ubuntu-dev10:06
dholbachpassing on recommendations to the MC works fine via mailing list10:06
dholbachwhat do you think? how many recommendations by the MC would you want for that? all 5 or a simple majority?10:06
dholbach(before we pass it on to the TB)10:06
LaserJockmdz: so would there be any IRC component? or all email?10:07
mdza simple majority is fine, though of course we want to hear from developers outside of the council as well10:07
dholbachright10:07
dholbachI'm happy with that - I'll drop you a mail with the summary about Hobbsee and make sure the new process is in the wiki docs and announced on the list10:08
dholbachdoes anybody else have questions regarding the new core-dev process?10:08
mdzLaserJock: I think that in most cases we'll want to do an interview as well10:08
mdzthe application should arrive via email, and we can make arrangements from there10:08
ajmitchdholbach: yes, what is it? :) are people meant to put in an application to the MC?10:08
LaserJockwell, I just would like to be clear on the whole process10:08
LaserJocknot just the MC part10:08
mdzI think it's more useful to pass an application via email than to add a line item to the TB agenda10:08
LaserJockah10:09
dholbachajmitch: I don't think it matters in which order we get those mails, as long as we have recommendations and somebody who wants to become core-dev :)10:09
dholbachajmitch: so if it's an application or a recommendation first shouldn't matter10:09
ajmitchright, as long as it's clear *what* is needed10:10
dholbachmdz: I think I'm happy with my agenda point now.10:10
mdzwhat's needed is the same thing as always: testimonials, information about the candidate's activities, demonstrated knowledge and understanding of Ubuntu development in accord with UbuntuDevelopers, etc.10:11
mdztraditionally we would collect some of the information on a wiki page10:11
mdzand I think that's probably still a good idea10:11
mdzputting it someplace public makes it easy for future candidates to understand what's expected10:12
mdzso I'm thinking of a process something like this:10:12
mjg59Sorry, I'm here now10:13
mdzmotu discusses their intent with the motu council, gets consensus that they are ready to apply, motu council collects relevant information and submits in a bundle to TB via a wiki page, TB review and respond, usually setting up an appointment to attend a meeting10:14
mdz(I just heard from sabdfl; he's unavailable)10:14
mdz__keybuk,mjg59: comments on that proposal?10:15
=== arualavi [n=Iva@84.76.94.4] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
__keybukthat sounds exactly like the procedure I thought we agreed on :p10:16
mjg59Yes, I think that seems reasonable10:16
mdz__keybuk: I don't recall that we were explicit about core-dev10:16
mdzonly about motu10:16
__keybukmaybe it's just sensible enough that it sounds like we ought to have agreed on it :p10:16
mdzwell then, ok10:17
mdzit just needs to be documented then10:17
dholbachI'll take care of that10:18
mdzdholbach: would you update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewDeveloperProcess ?10:18
mjg59dholbach: Thanks10:18
dholbachde rien10:18
mdzit's pretty close already10:18
LaserJockI guess I'm a little unsure about the "motu council collects relevant information" part10:18
mdzthe only thing we changed was the way information is passed around, and the order10:18
mdzturning up for a meeting as the first thing has always been an obstacle10:19
mdzHobbsee, if I'm not mistaken, would normally be asleep during TB meetings10:19
mdzand we don't want to discourage people from applying because of silly things like time zones10:19
mjg59The impression I get is that the new process is working fairly well for MOTU10:20
mdz__keybuk and I independently noted that the meeting time ought to be adjusted for DST10:20
mdzmjg59: indeed, so we're following that lead in a way10:20
mdzI think it's a good idea to do more by email10:21
mdzwhich raises further questions about the meeting10:21
mdzwe could, e.g., schedule the meeting based on who submits agenda items / applies for core-dev / etc. each time10:21
mdzto maximize attendance, at the expense of predictability10:22
ajmitchwith all the TB in one TZ (I think), is that practical?10:22
mjg59ajmitch: The plan is for the TB to be extended10:22
mdzin general, any two time zones can be accomodated at once10:22
ajmitchmjg59: so I heard, eventually :)10:22
=== Adri2000_ [n=adri2000@ubuntu/member/adri2000] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdzso TB + applicant is a good combination10:22
__keybukmjg59: the one nomination sabdfl has received so far happens to *also* be in the Europe/London timezone :p10:23
mjg59Ha10:23
mdzit shouldn't be necessary to have third parties turn up at the meeting, generall. the tech board can raise any questions they have for them by email10:23
mjg59We could send mdz back to the US10:23
mjg59But anyway10:23
mdzso what would you like to do?  move back an hour to stay at 20h London time?10:24
mdzhold meetings only as needed?10:24
mjg5921:00 is certainly a little too late to be convenient for me10:25
mdzregular meetings are good to keep us in contact and active10:25
mjg59I'd be concerned that holding meetings as needed would make the TB less visible10:25
mdzif we all turn up and have nothing to talk about, that's not much better :-)10:25
mjg59We don't want people who submit items to feel as if they're causing us inconvenience by forcing a meeting to be scheduled10:25
mdzgood point10:26
somerville32If we don't have anything to talk about, we could just have some tea instead.10:26
mjg59As a compromise, leave meetings scheduled but cancel them unless there's something on the agenda?10:26
mdzwe could hold meetings at 20h, but be open to adjusting to accomodate someone with an important cause (like joining core-dev)10:26
mjg59Yes, that seems fair10:27
mdz__keybuk: thoughts?10:27
LaserJockwell, you could always send an email to -devel-discuss asking for things for the TB to talk about ;-)10:27
mjg59I think people might also prefer a more obvious mechanism for causing things to be raised10:27
mdzmore obvious than sending email to technical-board?10:28
__keybukI think that opportunistically cancelling or rescheduling the meeting would create the same effect as not scheduling in the first place10:28
mjg59I think the docs suggest just adding things to the agenda?10:28
mdzthey do10:28
=== _czessi [n=Czessi@dslb-088-073-037-179.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdzbut email works as well if not better, I think10:28
mjg59Right10:29
mjg59Then we should fix them to state that :)10:29
mdzI'll take that action item10:29
mjg59It also gives us the opportunity to ask people for more details10:29
__keybukI also thing that the value of regular meetings of the TB is less than the value of regular meetings of the CC, since the latter is primarily community-driven wherease we're primarily resolving technical disputes (which happily come up hardly at all)10:29
=== finalbeta [n=gggggggg@d54C6865D.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mjg59I will note that we're poor at cancelling meetings even when it's fairly clear that they're not going ahead10:30
mjg59Like during UDS10:30
mjg59Right now the schedule shows us having one during Ubuntu Live10:31
mdz(TechnicalBoardAgenda updated)10:31
mjg59mdz: The ubuntu.com page wants updating as well10:32
__keybukI think that my preference would be to request matters via e-mail10:32
mjg59Yes, I think I agree10:32
__keybukand if the matter requires online discussion, arrange a meeting on IRC to discuss that item10:32
somerville32Isn't it entirely possible that TB members could subscribe to changes for that page?10:32
__keybukrather than have a fixed schedule for the meetings10:33
somerville32Ah.10:33
mdzmjg59: good catch, I'll email webmaster about that10:33
=== tideline [n=tideline@65.98.69.13] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mjg59somerville32: It's slightly irritating to then have to track that back to somebody's email address10:33
mjg59And relevant people can't easily be Cc:ed to begin with10:33
__keybukI also think that we should be more diligent about announcing resolutions, at least to devel or devel-announce -- including new team memebrs10:33
mdzagreed10:34
mdzwe need a secretary10:34
mjg59Any volunteers? :)10:34
=== pochu poinst to Seveas :p
mdzI'm sure we've resolved this at least once before10:35
pochus/poinst/points/10:35
mdzand then fallen out of the habit of posting the outcome of meetings, after several meetings without activity10:35
mjg59Yes, I think so10:35
mdzI'll do one for this meeting10:35
mjg59Ok10:36
mjg59I think we've reached broad agreement over meeting plans10:36
mdzok10:36
mdzany other business?10:36
__keybukhave we?10:36
__keybukI thought we still had four options and no clear decision10:36
__keybuk1) retain existing schedule10:36
__keybuk2) alter meeting schedule for daylight savings10:36
__keybuk3) 1 or 2, but reschedule or cancel meetings depending on agenda items10:36
__keybuk4) ad-hoc schedule meetings to discuss items as and when they are proposed10:36
mjg59Ah, I thought we were leaning towards (4)10:37
mjg59As long as we're good at posting outcomes, I think we'll retain enough visibility10:37
mdzanother option would be to come up with something which is useful for us to do together every week10:38
mdzs/week/two weeks/10:38
Seveaspochu, ?10:38
mjg59Paintballing10:38
__keybukmjg59++10:38
pochuSeveas: <       mdz> we need a secretary10:38
pochu:)10:38
Seveasheh10:39
pochuYou have experience, don't you? ;)10:39
Seveasa bit10:39
mdzmjg59: I was thinking something more like reviewing the work which was done on Ubuntu during the week10:39
mjg59Ha10:39
mjg59Yes, ok10:39
__keybukwe kind of already do that every week anyway, no?10:39
mdzwe do, but individually10:39
mdzwe don't get together and talk about it10:40
mjg59That arguably gives us an opportunity to ensure things are sane10:40
mdzand that might be healthy to do10:40
__keybukthat's an interesting point10:40
mdzif our only official meeting activity is resolving disputes, we won't have much to say10:40
mjg59I think I'd be happy with that10:40
mdzthe Ubuntu developer community being such a well-oiled machine10:41
__keybukwe'd need some intelligent way to define "work done on Ubuntu during the week"10:41
mdzand then the minutes from that meeting would be a good wrap-up for the community about what's happened10:41

mdzsounds like something we should talk through by email, it was just a random idea10:42
mdzcan we settle on implementing 2) immediately and discussing other options via email?10:42
mjg59Yes, ok10:42
mdzdone10:42
__keybukI can live with that :)10:42
mjg59It'll do for now10:42
mjg59Are we onto AOB?10:42
mdzyes10:43
mjg59We've received a request to take a look at Automatix - I think that's a reasonable request given the degree of interaction with the rest of the distribution10:43
mjg59I've already taken a look over the code, so I'll write up a review document and sent it to the list?10:44
mdzyes, it's due for another look10:44
mdzmjg59: oh, fantastic10:44
mdzI looked at the last version, but haven't looked at the new one10:44
mjg59Ok. I'll do that, then we can discuss it at the next meeting?10:44
mdzsure10:44
__keybuksure10:44
mjg59It's probably worth noting it on the agenda, in case the developers want to provide any feedback10:44
mdzok10:45
mjg59I've got nothing else - anyone else?10:45
mdzI suggested via email that in fact we have the discussion in an open forem10:45
mdzforum, even10:45
mdzok, sounds like we're done10:47
mdzgood night, all10:47
mjg59Ok10:47
mjg59Thanks!10:47
=== pochu wonders whether the technical-board list is open to the public.
somerville32I have a quick question.10:47
pochuI can't find it on l.u.c10:47
mdzpochu: it's not a list as such, ti's just a contact address for the technical board10:48
mdzso that you can email us all at one address10:48
mjg59pochu: It's deliberately not publically archived10:48
pochumdz: That explains it. Thanks :)10:48
mjg59In order to allow confidental stuff to be brought up10:48
mjg59If we have a public discussion, it'll be in a more obvious place :)10:48
pochuSure thing. But then you might want to change the address to @ubuntu.com instead of @lists.ubuntu.com? :)10:49
mjg59Yea, that's an implementation detail10:49
pochuYeah, nothing important.10:49
mjg59It's probably a reasonable idea, though10:49
