Hobbseedarn, kdeedu ftbfs due to other merges01:48
jjesseHobbsee: if i want to be running the bleeding edge version of debian is that unstable or testing?01:48
Hobbseetesting, i believe01:49
Hobbseealthough things seem to get uploaded to unstable a lot, and nto to testing01:49
Hobbseei'm not sure01:49
rbrunhuber_jjesse: the bleeding edge is unstable (aka sid)01:49
jjesserbrunhuber_: thanks01:50
rbrunhuber_jjesse: but it can be really unstable so you may want to have a look on sidux. which is sid but a bit "moderated"01:52
jjesserbrunhuber_: if i'm trying to work on dcoumenting both keep and adept which should i use?01:54
rbrunhuber_jjesse: you should use debian unstable then. Because debian is upstream for a lot of packages and not sidux (which is independent of debian)01:56
jjesserbrunhuber_: thanks thats what i thought, but wanted to make sure01:56
rbrunhuber_jjesse: It's dangerous though because maybe ubuntu is upstream for debian on your packages. So you have to be careful.01:57
jjesserbrunhuber_: its just a vm for both gutsy and debian unstable01:57
jjesseso if it crashes or bombs out i can just revert the snapshot01:57
rbrunhuber_jjesse: I did not mean dangerous as crashing but be careful who is upstream to whom the ubuntu packages may come from debian or kde directly.01:58
jjesserbrunhuber_: thanks i will be01:58
rbrunhuber_jjesse: This mean if you document the latest and greatest feature in debian this may not land in ubuntu and the other way round.01:59
jjesserbrunhuber_: i understand01:59
jjessefor adept i have to document different for debian and ubuntu because they have moved very far apart02:00
rbrunhuber_jjesse: but good luck on your docu writing. Thats always very appreciated.02:00
jjesserbrunhuber_: thanks02:00
jjessei hate it when i'm working in a vm and it always repeat key strokes :(02:40

LureRiddell: kdepim (kitchensync) needs opensync to build -> do you plan to request MIR for opensync?01:28
RiddellLure: not looked at it yet, if you fancy doing the MIR please go ahead01:30
LureRiddell: opensync in ubuntu/debian is rather old (0.19, latest is 0.22)01:30
Riddellyes, that probably also needs doing01:31
LureRiddell: not sure if we should wait for update first (0.30 should be out soon and lifeless is debian maintainer)01:31
LureRiddell: we could make kitchensync empty package for now...01:31
Riddellif kdepim works with .22 I don't see a point in waiting01:32
LureRiddell: problem is we have 0.19 and I doubt it is at all useful to try01:33
Lure0.22 is available by 3rdparties only (and it works for me and my nokia phone)01:33
Lurelifeless did not want to push 0.21/0.22 as 0.30 will change some stuff that will impact packagin, afair01:34
Riddellby 3rd parties?  it's not an official release?01:34
LureRiddell: official release, just not in debian/ubuntu01:34
Riddellwaiting for a future release is risky, it may get delayed, is there a release schedule?01:34
LureRiddell: http://www.in.fh-merseburg.de/~jahn/opensync-0.21/01:34
LureRiddell: according to Trac, 0.30 is "due in one week", but still 13 tickets opened, so I doubt it01:36
LureRiddell: but there are daily commits, so it may be true01:37
LureRiddell: but anyhow, we want working kdepim (including networkstatus) before MIR is granted (or 0.30 hits repo), right?01:37
Luretherefore shipping empty kitchensync package as a workaround would be fine01:38
LureRiddell: btw, I see that you do not ship kitchensyn in your feisty repo at all...01:39
Riddellno, I just removed it from feisty01:40
RiddellI don't mind removing it from gutsy if that's the right thing to do just now01:40

sebasThat's for the aKademy banner, right?02:19
sebasSo target group is developers, not users?02:19

Riddellkwwii: but can't AI import inkscape's SVG?02:20
sebasShould we go the community way then? I think so02:20
kwwiiRiddell: yes, but it will not support the kind of transparency I am using02:20
kwwiiand I still have to redo the cutting of the paths for the bleed02:21
kwwiiit is not a real problem, but I am working on something else atm :-)02:21
kwwiiI also need to touch up the advert from last year02:21
sebasHm, what about "Our desktop." ?02:22
sebasI'm not sure as to what to communicate, is there anything known from Canonical why they sponsor aKademy, what they want to express with that?02:22
sebasWe could otherwise get real geeky. As in "Downstream loves you!" or something similar02:23
Riddellsebas: they deliberately sponsor akademy higher than guadec to show their support for KDE to the otherwise skeptical developers02:24
sebasThen I'd say something snappy with 'downstream' of this meaning would be cool02:24
Riddell"all our customers choose KDE" :)02:25
sebasHehehe02:25
Riddell(except Dell, but what do they know)02:25
sebasKubuntu - all our users use KDE02:26
sebasOr maybe "Eat *this*, Novell!" ;-)02:26
Riddellprovocative :)02:26
sebasYes, and pretty much not done as well.02:26
sebasI'd do "Downstream loves you!"02:27
RiddellI do quite like that02:27
sebasIt's definitely better than easy, good, perfect (or what was it?)02:28
Riddellrandom words that kwwii had in his head02:28
Riddellwhich is better than http://muse.19inch.net/~jr/tmp/kubuntu_akademy_banner_1.png02:28
sebasI usually check slogans by putting them next to a brick and see if that applies. If it does, the slogan sucks.02:28
sebasHehehe, make that Ubuntu - GNOME and it's funny again.02:29
Riddellyes, the equation is wrong anyway02:29
sebasActually, that's one of the things Chris mentioned as well.02:29
Riddellwhich is?02:29
sebasHe talked about "star buntu"02:30
Riddellwould be nice02:30
Riddellwell, no, it would be a crappy brand, but would be nice to make things equal02:30
sebasBut hard, it's a messy identity that needs to be fixed.02:30
sebasExactly.02:30
sebasOne would need to put quite some thought into this, goes with technical stuff such as "what's a desktop"?02:31
sebasI'd say "the company is Canonical, the products are Ubuntu, antlbagguz (the new name for Kubuntu) and Snurkfroggl (the new xfce thing)" would work much better02:32
sebasPeople understand that a company can have different product lines for different needs (target groups), they don't understand than different desktops run on the same base system.02:33
sebasWe've been through that, though :)02:33
Riddellchanging the Kubuntu brand is pretty much a non-starter02:33
Riddellbut creating an umbrella brand would be nice02:33
sebasUmbrella branding is really hard to do, and I think it's quite impossible with the current situation (without renaming *all* desktop, which is even more a non-starter)02:34
sebasANother problem is that I'm not aware of a real product vision, such as "Ubuntu is for boring business use while Kubuntu is for exciting home users and extrovert weirdo's" or something like that.02:35
sebasTo me, currently it's "we'd lose customers if we don't offer KDE", and that's hardly a product vision02:36
=== Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Riddellthat's because both desktops are trying to cover as much market as possible02:37

Hobbsee:(02:39
Riddellbut I want everyone to love us!02:39
Hobbsee* :)02:39
sebasKDE is raw product, to make it a 'real' product, specialising is good.02:39
sebasSure, it should be generally usable, but from a business POV, it makes sense to specialise.02:40
sebasBreadth can be bad, because it makes you lose profile.02:40
mhbIMHO we'd lose a lot of users if we specialised Kubuntu, which would result in less volunteers, etc02:40
=== Arby [n=richard@shiny.york.ac.uk] has joined #kubuntu-devel
sebasFor KDE, we're trying to create sub-brands and get those out.02:41
sebasFor example showing KDE EDU as its own brand (sure it has other specialised software available, but by showing too much, you blur the strong message)02:41
sebasI'm not talking "let's do this", by the way. Only clarifying general concepts.02:42
mhbsebas: is there anyone in the distro market having a specialised KDE version?02:43
mhbmost of them have KDE and GNOME as (mostly) equal choices02:43
sebasmhb: Skolelinux for example, Xandros and Linspire as well02:44
sebasDon't think in distro's, think in products for target markets, then it makes sense.02:44
sebasFor desktops, it's also a geographical thing, Europe is more KDE territory, not offering KDE makes you lose large parts of the european market.02:45
sebasLikewise South America, lots of KDE fans there.02:45
_marseillais:) a friend of mine just told me that she wants mandriva in place of kubuntu because of kde's dragon missing in kdm login and delog.....02:46
sebasPoint is, you don't need to target those that ask for KDE, just make sure everyone knows that you're offering good KDE stuff02:46
sebasmarseillai: There you see KDE's strategy succeeding :-)02:46
sebasWhich is Make people aware and love KDE, then have them choose a distro which offers KDE02:46

mhbsebas: best probably as in balanced in performance, usability and features02:59
sebasThat's hardly a goal, that's a means.02:59
sebasA goal would be  "Get 40% of computer users worldwide to use KDE desktops"03:00

_marseillaisand happy girl is just making me happy....03:02
_marseillais:)03:02
sebasIn branding terms compared to the other Ubuntu things, it's more a product.03:02
sebasA project is quite a bad name for that, btw.03:02
sebasA project has a well-defined ending03:02
mhbsebas: yes, but compared to ubuntu a lot of things are lacking, no kubuntu marketing team for instance03:02
sebasWhich Kubuntu I think has not03:02
sebasRight, no marketing, exactly my point.03:02
mhbsebas: but if canonical supports the development of kubuntu, they have to have a good reason for that03:08
sebasYes, customers that want KDE03:08
LureRiddell, Hobbsee: kdepim temporary fix for build failure: http://muse.19inch.net/~lure/gutsy/kdepim.debdiff03:09
HobbseeLure: +++ /tmp/Ox7XvvA4y5/kdepim-3.5.7/debian/kdepim-dev.install2007-05-24 13:06:46.000000000 +0000 isnt needed, against my latest packages03:09
mhbsebas: then "providing the best KDE around" is the goal, isn't it? That's exactly what the customers desire.03:10
Hobbseebut those are correct against the current archive version03:10
mhbsebas: and customers are the reason why C. supports Kubuntu03:10
sebasThat's reacting to existing markets, while the biggest opportunities lie in new markets.03:11
mhbsebas: could be - the goals can be reshaped, of course03:12
LureHobbsee: right, I have used the version from archive03:13
LureHobbsee: feel free to adopt it to your version to fix build03:13
Lure_marseillais: you can switch back to old konqi logout with config file change...03:18

mhbsebas: what are your suggestion for the goals of Kubuntu?03:35
mhbsuggetions03:36
mhbsebas: we would have to define the goals, define the target audience, then perhaps an analysis of what the audience wants, then create specs (in LP) in accordance with the needs of the audience...03:41
sebasJep. That's the right way (roughly)03:41
jjesseshouldn't that be further discussed at the kubuntu mtg?03:41
sebasAnd a lot of work, too.03:41
sebasWhat's an MTG?03:41
mhbsebas: this topic fits well for the UDS discussion, I thought you were there03:41
mhbsebas: did you not talk about that?03:41
sebasI was there, yes, not really.03:42
mhbmtg = meeting03:42
mhbprobably03:42
sebasUhm, why during the meeting?03:43
jjesseisn't that were the kubuntu team discusses this so more people can add contrstutive criticism?03:43
sebasThis kind of stuff starts endless discussion of people who want to tell what they think while they totally lack the background. The perfect way to destroy a meeting.03:43
sebasNo, that's where decisions are being made. I don't see this.03:44
Hobbseeseems like ML material, maybe03:44
sebasEspecially not when nobody wants to put work into it.03:44
sebasFor me, I don't really have time I can put into it.03:44
sebasIt would be cool if some people started thinking about this, I can probably lend some experience then.03:45
sebasBut that means a lot of work.03:45
=== Hobbsee wonders what the target audience is anyway
Hobbseejjesse: that's teh ML.  not all kubuntu people can make the mtg03:49
mhbHobbsee: I don't think there is a target audience for kubuntu yet03:50
sebasI think there is, only nobody thought how to align Kubuntu with that.03:50
Hobbseewlel, no, but who would we want the target audience to be?03:50
sebasWhich means first finding out what it is.03:50
mhbHobbsee: that is the question03:51
Hobbsee42!03:51
LureHobbsee: that is the answer03:53

=== sebas asks himself if all that structure really helps or creates more overhead than necessary.
Hobbseesebas: dunno.  tech board is busy, so they fob work off to motu council.  motu council is also busy, but everyhting is on their ML anyway.04:32

mhbmanchicken_: I've had a thought ... adept (especially updater) usually prompts a kdesu passcheck before any window opens...04:51
mhbmanchicken_: I think there should be a window before that, telling people why do they have to input their password04:52
sebasCan't that be passed to kdesu somehow?04:52
mhbsebas: not at this moment, I'm afraid04:52
mhbsebas: gksudo does that, kdesu don't, AFAIK04:52
manchicken_mhb: I'm wondering if kdesu had that in.04:53
sebasHm, it's dumb04:53
mhbmanchicken_: and another thing, why does adept_updater have a welcome screen?04:54
manchicken_A better question :)04:54
mhbthe user should know what it is before he submits the password...afterwards it's pretty clear he wants the upgrade to happen04:55
Jucato:)04:55
manchicken_Well, it's good to give the "these are the packages needing updates, wanna do it?04:55
manchicken_"04:55
sebasAnother dialogue you have to click away sounds annoying to me04:55
manchicken_sebas: Agreed.04:56
manchicken_I think maybe have better text in kdesu's dialog may be a better choice.04:56
Jucatomanchicken_: maybe you don't have to click fetch updates to actually fetch the upates, just present the Apply Updates or Forget it button?04:56
manchicken_Jucato: My thoughts exactly.04:57
manchicken_Someone should draw up a spec for this :)04:57
Jucatoheh :)04:57
manchicken_*cough*mhb*cough*04:57
mhbyeah, I can do it04:58
Jucato*cough*yay*cough*04:58
manchicken_heh04:58
mhbmanchicken_: but I think one dialog is enough04:58
mhbmanchicken_: and we can't get rid of the kdesu dialog, so I'd vote for better description on that one04:59
mhbsomething like - "Insert your password to upgrade your system." Command: adept_updater05:00
manchicken_Yeah.05:00
mhbinstead of the "Insert your password" line05:00
manchicken_I think those would be two different specs.05:00
manchicken_One for the kdesu issue and one for the adept welcome screen.05:00
manchicken_I'll do the adept welcome screen spec if you do the kdesu05:00

yuriymanchicken,mhb: any idea how to do the kdesu thing? i was thinking about that too but i couldn't think of a very good way to do it05:31
manchicken_yuriy: No idea.  Worst comes to worse we could just subclass the kdesu dialog and modify it :)05:33
yuriybecause one of the things with it should be that when the user sees that, they should know that they are launching the updater05:33
yuriylike some way to prevent having somebody else making a dialog that gives the same text the actual one does and have the user put in a password05:34
yuriyor am i thinking too much into this?05:34

=== hunger saw a windowing system once that made it possible to highlight windows run in a "root context" and made sure no other window ever looked like that.
hungerBut that was not X based;-)05:36
yuriybut anyways, other than _that, could we ship a file with descriptions for the commands that are launched with kdesu from the kmenu and patch kdesu to search that?05:36
mhbyuriy: well05:36
mhbyuriy: kdesu can already display a custom icon05:36
mhbwe could use the adept "package" icon to show that something with packages is about to happen05:36
