TheMusoLaserJock: I just asked who is here.04:05
TheMusoDoes anybody have anything to say about he first agenda item, or should be postpone it for the next meeting?04:06
TheMusoHrm, and since there are only a few of us, I'm wondering whether we should leave them for the list/the next meeting/04:07
pochuIt sounds good to me, although it says "e.g." so it sounds as it should be discussed (or postponed)04:07
pochuTheMuso: we can wait a little to see if there is someone late04:08
TheMusopochu: Yeah, perhaps I was a little hasty in starting things. :p04:08
LaserJockheh, we could at least have a quick discussion I suppose04:09
TheMusoLaserJock: About which one(s)?04:09
LaserJockall of them04:10
LaserJockif not a lot of people show up04:10
TheMusoYeah, and its looking increasinly like they won't, but we can wait a bit.04:10
TheMusoYay, another MOTU.04:13
TheMusoRAOF: You are here for the meeting, aren't you?04:14
pochumotus += 104:14
RAOFTheMuso: Yes, I am.  Just a little late :)04:14
TheMusoTis alright, we haven't started in urnist yet.04:14
RAOFUnless my UTC-foo is particularly bad.04:14
TheMusoRAOF: NO it isn't.04:14
TheMusoWell, what say we get started?04:15
* ajmitch isn't exactly here for the meeting, is almost beer o'clock :)04:15
TheMusoOr do you all think we should postponee?04:17
RAOFHow many do we have?04:18
TheMusonxvl, pochu, LaserJock, yourself, and myself.04:18
RAOFHm.  Doesn't seem a particularly good turnout, but will postponing get a better turnout?04:19
pochuand half of ajmitch!04:19
RAOFThe soper half :)04:19
RAOFs/p/b/04:20
TheMusoRAOF: Well I think the times rotate now, so the next one is more likely to land in a more suitable timezone.04:20
* LaserJock likes this time :-)04:20
RAOFTheMuso: So that means we should go ahead, surely.  The idea of rotating timezones would be so that everyone can participate.04:20
TheMusoRAOF: Yes I know.04:21
TheMusoAlright, lets go.04:21
TheMuso[topic] mailing list policy (e.g. all MOTUs must be subscribed to devel-announce, should be subscribed -motu and -devel, where to post announcements etc.)04:21
MootBotNew Topic:  mailing list policy (e.g. all MOTUs must be subscribed to devel-announce, should be subscribed -motu and -devel, where to post announcements etc.)04:21
TheMusoSince whoever added that doesn't seem to be here, what does everybody think? It sounds rather self-explanetory.04:21
LaserJockare we wanting a wiki page that has the "You need to be sub'd to ubuntu-motu, ubuntu-devel, and ubuntu-devel-announce"04:22
LaserJock?04:22
RAOFIt does, yes.  I think it's obvious that MOTUs should be expected to be subscribed to at least -motu & -devel-announce, and almost certainly -devel.04:22
pochuI think the "must be subscribed to -devel-announce" is sensible.04:22
TheMusoI think devel-announce, and -motu certainly.04:23
pochuThe others shouldn't be enforced IMHO04:23
pochuhmm, -motu maybe...04:23
LaserJockreally?04:23
LaserJockI feel like both -motu and -devel should be required04:23
TheMusoLaserJock: Certainly -devel if you are about to/are a MOTU.04:24
TheMusoAs you are more active in the development community.04:24
pochuwell important things go to -devel-announce. The rest is discussion so I don't think we should enforce it.04:24
pochuAlthough we should encourage it, of course.04:25
LaserJockmdz and others have said that the design of -devel should be for *all* developers and -motu should be just motu specific stuff04:25
LaserJockso I think people are really missing out on important stuff if they aren't sub'd04:25
TheMusoLaserJock: Now that you put it that way, -devel is important enough, as some important discussions do come up from time to time, or someone wants something tested.04:25
LaserJockit's not like they are high traffic04:26
pochuI still don't think we should force people to subscribe to a list because they might be interested in a few mails04:26
pochuLaserJock: true that, due to the split in -devel-discuss for devel and -mentors for motu04:26
TheMusonxvl: You still with us? Do you have any thoughts?04:27
RAOFpochu: Surely it's not *that* much of a burden?  I get ~40 Ubuntu mails/day on busy days, and I'm subscribed to all sorts of lists.04:27
pochuMessages: 205 <--- ubuntu-motu in January04:27
TheMusoYeah the traffic is not high at all.04:27
pochuMessages: 105 <--- ubuntu-devel in January04:27
TheMusoon -devel04:27
LaserJockI just feel like if -motu and -devel are really burdens then I have some other questions04:28
LaserJockif you know what I mean04:28
pochuRAOF: lucky you ;) I get hundreds every day, but I'm subscribed to too many I'm afraid...04:28
RAOFSo that'd be ~10 mails/day for -motu & -devel being mandatory.  That doesn't seem onerous at all.04:28
LaserJockI don't think we need to have some sort of penalty or ML cops or anything04:28
TheMusoNo, I see it more as an encouragement.04:29
TheMusoAs they'd get more out of the development community at least reading those lists.04:29
RAOFIt would just be listed somewhere as expected behaviour.04:29
TheMusoRAOF: Yeah.04:29
pochuWell I'm saying all the time that we should encourage it, but not force it04:29
LaserJockbut a wiki page that says that you *should* be sub'd is good, and generally saying it's assumed04:29
pochuAlthough -devel-discuss should be enforced.04:29
TheMusodevel-discuss?04:30
TheMusoYou sure?04:30
pochuErr, -devel-announce04:30
LaserJock-devel-announce yes04:30
RAOFpochu: I thought d-discus was at least partially a honeypot :)04:30
pochuTheMuso: I'm considering unsubscribing from -discuss ;)04:30
TheMusoRight, I thought so.04:30
pochuRAOF: yeah sadly it is04:30
TheMusoSo does anybody wan to volunteer to update the wiki?04:31
LaserJockdo we have a good wiki page for that?04:32
RAOFLaserJock: That's what I was thinking.  I can't think of one, offhand.04:32
* TheMuso doesn't know, as he rarely looks at the MOTU part of the wiki these days.04:32
TheMusoWell perhaps its someting we tell new contributors who are regularly involved.04:33
TheMusosomething04:33
TheMusoAnd, how do we enforce devel-announce?04:33
TheMusoWe can't really enforce any of it really.04:33
RAOFSign up ~ubuntu-dev to devel-announce? :)04:33
LaserJocksure we can04:33
LaserJockhave a devel-announce admin sign up everybody in ~motu04:34
LaserJock:-)04:34
TheMusoYeah, but I don't think its something we can force contributors to do.04:35
RAOFWhy would we need to force contributors to do that?04:36
RAOFWe can suggest it to them, and if they don't then, well, that's one of the reasons their work is filtered through MOTUs.04:36
LaserJockno, this should be a MOTU thing04:36
pochuLaserJock: then motus could just filter mails from whateverlist to /dev/null :P04:37
LaserJockwell, that would be very  unfortunate04:38
LaserJockhmm, we need a "MOTU Reference" wiki page04:39
LaserJockI just get so lost04:39
RAOFHey, maybe https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers is a good page?04:40
LaserJockwell04:40
LaserJockthat one is just so big04:40
LaserJockI need like the reference version04:40
RAOF"MOTUhood for dummies"04:41
LaserJockthat links to all the stuff and has nice checklists so we don't forget04:41
RAOFThat'd actually be a useful page, yeah.04:41
LaserJockso it's not "I need to learn how to ..." but "I need to remember how to ..." ;-)04:41
RAOFUpdated with "current/impending freeze: <url> (exception process <url>)", etc.04:41
LaserJockyep04:42
RAOF"Where's that useful page about reviewing new library packages again?"04:42
RAOFEtc.04:42
TheMuso_Sorry, just got booted and reconnected.04:42
TheMuso_What did I miss?04:42
RAOFI didn't see you get booted, so I don't know.04:43
LaserJockTheMuso_: what was the last you saw?04:43
RAOFLast thing you saw?04:43
=== TheMuso_ is now known as TheMuso
RAOFLaserJock & I have been musing that a "Daily MOTU tasks quick reference guide" wiki page would be nice.04:44
TheMuso< RAOF> Why would we need to force contributors to do that?04:44
RAOFTheMuso: http://pastebin.com/mcce1ddb04:44
TheMusoRAOF: thanks.04:45
TheMusoSo... What should we do? Perhaps raise it on the list?04:46
RAOFUnless someone here wants to volunteer to write such a page, yes.04:47
RAOFThe result of this discussion is "MOTUs are expected be subscribed to at least -motu, -devel, and -devel-discuss.  Also, a MOTU Reference wiki page wourld be good", yes?04:48
TheMusoDoes everybody agree with RAOF assessment of the discussion?04:49
LucidFoxI agree.04:49
TheMusoOk, I'll take that as a yes, as we are almost out of time.04:51
TheMuso[agreed] MOTUs are expected to be subscribed to at least -motu, -devel, and -devel-discuss. A MOTU wiki reference page would also be useful.04:52

TheMusoMoving along...04:52
TheMusoshould Ubuntu Membership be a general requirement for MOTUship? (see the [WWW] MOTU Council thread for more details)04:53
TheMuso[topic] should Ubuntu Membership be a general requirement for MOTUship? (see the [WWW] MOTU Council thread for more details)04:53
MootBotNew Topic:  should Ubuntu Membership be a general requirement for MOTUship? (see the [WWW] MOTU Council thread for more details)04:53
TheMusoSo, shoudl this also be something that gets put to the list?04:55
* TheMuso thinks again that we postpone to either the next meeting, or to the list.04:56
RAOFAs I see it, the only reason why Ubuntu Membership should not be a requirement for MOTU would be if the process for aquiring UM is swamped by applicants.04:56
RAOFTheMuso: That seems reasonable.  Send to list.04:56
TheMusoAnybody got anythign else to say? Otherwise I say we leave this and the other items either for the list, or the next meeting.04:58
superm1are some folks from motu-release present right now?04:58
superm1i've got some things to mention at least to them04:58
TheMusoYes, I am, but we as a group haven't had a chance to talk about anything yet.04:58
superm1I'll hold off then until everyone on the team talks then04:58
superm1carry on :)04:59
TheMusoAnybody?04:59
TheMusogoing....04:59
TheMusogoing..04:59

TheMusogone.05:00
pochuAdjourned!05:00
TheMuso[agreed] Discussion of whether Ubuntu membership should be a general requirement of MOTUship, as well as feature freeze policy, should be discussed either on the MOTU mailing list, or at the next meeting.05:01
