claydohI  could, but wasn't planning to :)11:03
Riddellany agenda items?11:04
mhbare there any developments in the KDE4 Hardy CD saga?11:05
smarterWe still don't have k-d-s-kde4 and k-d-kde4 packages11:05
Riddellmhb: not that I've heard of.  feature freeze is this week so in theory it should be there for thursday11:06
Riddellsmarter: apachelogger said he was working on that11:06
smartermhb: did you finish your icon for Adept Updater?11:06
Riddellon k-d-s-kde4 that is11:06
Riddellso our features that may not make feature freeze are: kde4 CDs, jockey qt port, kmilo brightness support11:08
Riddellif anyone wants to work on the last two let us know11:08
mhbRiddell: would not having a KDE4 live CD mean we would have to ship KDE3 in hardy?11:08
mhbby feature freeze11:09
Riddellmhb: well it's blocked on seed changes, if the seed changes don't happen we can just go ahead and make a kde4 seed with the current seed layouts11:09
=== Seveaz is now known as Seveas
=== kiefer_ is now known as kiefer
Riddellif we don't get a FF exception I'll just do that11:09
Riddellbut I expect we'll get the exception (if it's needed)11:10
mhbhave we decided whether to backport some KDE4.1 features to KDE4.0 like SUSE does?11:10
mhbor be nice to upstream and avoid excessive patching11:11
RiddellI don't have time for that but if others want to and it's decently tested I don't see why not11:11

jpatrickRiddell, Hobbsee: pingy11:48
claydohahhh you are late nosrednaekim :)11:48
nosrednaekimmany appologies!11:48
Hobbseeah ha!11:48
nosrednaekimstupid alarm didn't wakeme up11:48
Riddellmorning nosrednaekim11:50
* nosrednaekim yawns... morning11:50
Riddellable to point us at your wiki page and give us  couple of sentences about yourself?11:50
nosrednaekimyep11:50
nosrednaekim    Because although Torvalds has his own belief about what Linux is and should be going forward, the vast majority of its users disagree. Let’s face it — if it were up to Torvalds, beauty and intuition would take a backseat to functionality. But when you look at distributions like Ubuntu or OpenSuse, it looks like no one is paying attention.11:51
nosrednaekimAs a reminder, gentle reader, almost every time someone says “face it”, you can discount the paragraph as a whole. Still, it’s occasionally important to explore why an argument is wrong.11:51
nosrednaekimFirst, I doubt that Mr. Reisinger asked most Linux users what Linux is and should be. I’m not sure that he asked any. It’s awfully dangerous to put forth such a strong postulate without evidence.11:51
nosrednaekimWhy am I so certain that Mr. Reisinger made up that figure? Particularly with regard to the use of Linux as part of free desktop operating systems, distributions such as Ubuntu and SUSE are the users.11:51
nosrednaekimThe question then becomes “Do distributions pull the kernels they use from Linus’s tree?” If so, then it follows that they pay attention to Linus’s views on Linux.11:51
nosrednaekimWhile many distributions do apply patches to the vanilla kernel, I can think of few patches that aren’t at least likely to go into Linus’s tree at some point in the near future. (Many patches have historically been backports from a newer version of the tree.)11:51
nosrednaekimNow perhaps Mr. Reisinger wants to start a conversation about the entire free software desktop stack (or more properly, stacks). I’m not sure it’s possible to do that without a fuller understanding of what exactly encompasses the free desktop stack. As you might expect from Linus’s original comments, his view of what an operating system is and does is very, very different from the assumption of certain people who don’t know11:51
nosrednaekimwhat exactly Linus works on and its place in a much larger ecosystem.11:51
nosrednaekimhttps://wiki.kubuntu.org/Nosrednaekim11:52
nosrednaekimahhhh!11:52
Riddellwrong paste? :)11:52
jpatricklol11:52
* nosrednaekim now offically hates klipper11:52
Hobbseeinteresting post, though11:52
nosrednaekimanyway, i'm 17, been using kubuntu for almost 2 years, linux for almost 5. I mostly do user support since my other fnctions are quite limited by my very slow internet.11:54
Riddellnosrednaekim: why do you like Kubuntu?11:54
nosrednaekimthe community, and the availablity of a solution for any problem I ever have becuase its built on ubuntu.11:55
* Nightrose cheers for nosrednaekim for doing great support work \o/11:56
Riddellnosrednaekim: do you expect to continue work on desktop-effects-kde?11:56
nosrednaekimRiddell: yes.11:57
nosrednaekimI have some new effects files I have to upload.11:58
Riddellnosrednaekim: which is your LoCo team and what sort of activities do they do?11:58
=== cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson
nosrednaekimNew Jersey... they do installfests. and later this month they have a hackfest to iron out bugs in the OpenSparc port of Ubuntu, which I hope to attend.11:59
cjwatsonRiddell: the last piece is a cherry-pick of a Launchpad change; the change in question is now in rocketfuel and kiko has agreed in principle to the cherry-pick, so once that happens ...11:59
cjwatsonso ... close ...12:00
Riddellcjwatson: ooh, exciting12:00
Riddellquestions for nosrednaekim folks?12:00
Hobbseenosrednaekim: do you think we need separate kde3 and kde4 support channels?  have they been working out well so far?12:01

nosrednaekimAs we get more kde4 users, it'll be good. ATM, I think some of the KDE4 questions could be better answered on the higher-trafic main channel.12:03
jpatrick!ops > Michaelu18y20iw312:04
Michaelu18y20iw3in part in its in in concept for a morning we with association and term all in explore12:04
Riddellhmm, no staffers about12:05
nosrednaekimHobbsee: I think it would be a good idea to put a notice in the title that if no-one answers for ten minutes, ask in #kubuntu.12:05

RiddellHobbsee: a vote?12:07
Hobbseenosrednaekim: right12:07
HobbseeRiddell: +1 from me12:07
Riddellgroovy, nosrednaekim I'm afraid you'll need to wait for nixternal or another council member to read the logs and vote12:08
Riddellany other business?12:08
nosrednaekimHobbsee: and also instruct them to mention that they are using KDE4(and that no-one wasn answering in the kde4 channel)12:08
nosrednaekimRiddell: :)12:09
jpatrickRiddell: maybe claydoh's membership request?12:09
Hobbseenosrednaekim: right12:09
Riddelljpatrick: if he wants to go for it and has a wiki page et al12:09

Riddellclaydoh: how active are the kubuntu forums?12:13

Jucato(but after some previous events, I'm quite wary of saying +1... :/)12:14
RiddellJucato: what's the +1 for?12:14
JucatoRiddell: claydoh's active contributions in Kubuntu Forums and nosrednaekim's help in #kubuntu12:14
Riddellclaydoh: sometimes ubuntu forum people have suggested we shouldn't have a separate forum site, do you think there's a need for a separate site?12:15
claydohwe have a core group of posters which makes for a nice laid back atmoshpere imo12:15
claydohI personally like having a separate  forum/site12:16
claydoha lot of our members feel lost going to ubuntuforums, tho I often use it myself for tracking problems12:17
Riddellclaydoh: if we find you something to package will that help you get into that area of contributions?12:17
claydohyes, I just got my first ppa packages of kmymoney2 up, so I am learning a bit in that area12:18
Riddellooh, great, let us know when it gets ready to go into the archive12:19
claydohits the cvs version, but the new stable version is already in debian unstable so it should be easy12:20
Riddellclaydoh: is "opensource" (forget his real name) still running the kubuntu forums?12:20
jpatrickRiddell: yes12:21
Riddellwe should get him going for membership12:21
