matsubarasalgado, should #220251 importance be higher? is it not causing inconvenience for marilize?19:07
kikocprov, nope19:07
matsubaraThe project group milestone is broken on edge. abel already fixed and the branch is on the pqm queue. (#221047)19:07
salgadomatsubara, the actual bug fix won't help marilize19:07
mptRinchen, next you'll be saying he can still fix bugs ;-)19:07
matsubaraThanks BjornT and kiko for fixing the timeouts on the bug page (#220251)19:07
salgadomatsubara, what we need to do is run a couple DELETES in production19:07
kikocprov, you need to explicitly say you want to change to observe other holidays19:08
intellectronicamatsubara: a fix for 220251 has landed (and another fix to that too)19:08
Rinchenmpt, I'm glad you caught  that ;-)19:08
SteveAcprov: watch out for queens day next week.  depending how centrally you live, it may be impossible to work.19:08

cprovSteveA: yes, I was warned :)19:08
matsubarasalgado: is that the db query in the LPProductionStatus page?19:09
cprovSteveA: to not go to Amsterdam, basically.19:09

MootBotNew Topic:  DBA report (stub)19:13
stubI think all the DB reviews are done finally for this cycle. If you are not sure of the status of your patch, email me. I need to talk with bigjools re: archive permissions because I can't understand his email...19:13
stubThe DB server seems to be coping quite happily with the current load. This is good. This should also be the highest load we see for quite some time as we work on ways of distributing the load (unless someone manages to remove bottlenecks in the other systems ;) )19:13
stubDone.19:13
salgadoherb, there are actually 3 cherry picks pending, no?19:13
bigjoolsstub: talk to me after this meeting19:14

Rinchenthanks stub19:14
Rinchenany questions for stub before I move on?19:14
kikosalgado, yeah, mats just asked me19:15
kikosalgado, I thought I had approved it. maybe my wiki edit conflicted and I didn't see that happen. it's approved.19:15

MootBotNew Topic:  New packages required (salgado)19:17
herbkiko, BjornT I sent an email to losas yesterday after the CB19:17
salgadoif any of the branches you're working on right now depends on any library which is not part of the launchpad-dependencies package, come talk to me ASAP.19:17
Rinchenjtv, hows that xmlproc code change coming?19:17
jtvRinchen: I was just trying to squeeze it into PQM, thanks19:17
* Rinchen wants to know when he can unpin that package19:17
kikoherb, one concern I have is that BjornT hasn't landed the fix on RF yet?19:17
Rinchenjtv, awesome, thanks.19:17
BjornTkiko: i haven't?19:18
mthaddonkiko, I think it's in process, or landing...19:18

Rinchen[TOPIC] A top user-affecting issue (mrevell)19:18
MootBotNew Topic:  A top user-affecting issue (mrevell)19:18
mrevellhi19:18
mrevell Happy Hardy release day!19:18
mrevellThe user-affecting issue I'd like to highlight today is that impact that interest in the new Ubuntu release appears to have had on sites that rely on Launchpad for authentication.19:18
mrevell I know this happens only twice a year but I'd like to acknowledge the slow-down in a post to lp-users and explain its cause. Is there some good news I can offer in that message?19:18
BjornTkiko: i had to resubmit it, since the first one failed due to a spurious test failure...19:19
kikoBjornT, known spurious test failure? :)19:19
SteveAmrevell: the cause is some old software written when launchpad and ubuntu had far fewer users19:19
SteveAmrevell: the good news is that we're replacing it with new software that works much better19:19
mrevellthanks SteveA :)19:20
SteveAso this will be the last such slow-down19:20
mrevellgreat to hear, thanks for that.19:20
mrevellThanks Rinchen19:20
Rinchen[TOPIC] Doc Team report (mrevell)19:20
MootBotNew Topic:  Doc Team report (mrevell)19:20
mrevellThis week please give me your feedback on the proposed tour layouts. I've posted new drafts to the list today.19:20
mrevellI know not everyone is directly interested in this sort of thing but I'm interested in everyone's view.19:21
Rinchenmrevell, has the community members of the doc team been active lately?19:21
Rinchens/has/have19:21
mrevellRinchen: We haven't had much interest lately and I need to restoke interest after our 1.2.4 release (i.e. when I'm clear to do that)19:22
mrevells/clear/more free19:22
Rinchenok, thanks19:22
mrevellI'd also be grateful if you could give a few moments thought on the podcast idea.19:22
mrevellthanks Rinchen19:22
Rinchen[TOPIC] Community procedure for unplanned downtime (mpt)19:22
MootBotNew Topic:  Community procedure for unplanned downtime (mpt)19:22
mpthi19:22
kikomrevell, I really like the new tour layouts, btw19:22
mptLast Sunday, Launchpad had major availability problems for an extended period19:22
mrevellkiko: That's great to hear. If you have any specific feedback I'll give it to Gavin in my call with him tomorrow19:23
mptThere were non-Canonical people in #launchpad who noticed, but they didn't know what to do.19:23
mptI started a mailing list thread about this on Sunday, but it hasn't come to any conclusion19:23
kikomrevell, I'll try getting email before I trvel19:23
mrevellthanks kiko19:23
mptSo we still need to decide:19:23
mpt* Is it necessary for us to publish some way of getting in touch with admins when Launchpad is down?19:24
mpt- If so, what should that be?19:24
mpt- And if not, how will we prevent such downtime happening in future?19:24
stubIs there anyone in Montreal accessible by our users?19:24
kikompt, when we were down, what happened when loading the site?19:24
mrevellmpt: Presumably help.lp.net was down as well?19:24
gmbkiko: HTTP Timeouts19:24
SteveAkiko: basically, the site was totally unresponsive19:24
SteveAnot even a 503 page19:24
kikozaz a bummer19:25
SteveAor 50x page19:25
SteveAyeah19:25
mptkiko, as I understand it, pages were *occasionally* available, but extremely slowly if at all.19:25
kikoput something on the #launchpad topic19:25
SteveAit was caused by the problem we just fixed19:25
kikoor on help.launchpad.net19:25
kikoken19:25
SteveAor are about to fix19:25
mptkiko, who are you suggesting do this?19:25
SteveAhowever, I don't think we need to set up anything special about this19:25
mrevellIs there anything fancy we can do DNS-wise that would redirect people to an off-site holding page in the case of this sort of outage?19:25
SteveAmrevell: no19:25
kikompt, well, that's my questions for you19:26
SteveAthe issue is this19:26
kikoI'm not suggesting much19:26
SteveAwe have monitoring systems19:26
kikothink it's a bit of a non-issue19:26
kikotbh19:26
SteveAand they tell us when launchpad is not functioning19:26
mptkiko, people in #launchpad did change the /topic, but that's all they *could* do.19:26
SteveAon Sunday, no one was available to respond to the monitoring systems19:26
kikompt, I mean put in the /topic "call 1800LAUNCHPAD" etc19:26
SteveAthe solution is that we have people available to respond to the monitoring systems19:26
SteveAand I'm talking to the information systems people in Canonical about that.19:27
SteveAthe monitoring systems detected the outage at the same time that people on the channel did.19:27
RinchenAs a normal user, if the service went down, I'd like the warm fuzzies to know someone was looking at it.  I believe we should have weekend response to monitoring alerts.19:28
RinchenI would also be very thankful if someone posted a time when they think the problem might be fixed19:28
Rinchen(as a normal user)19:28
matsubaraRinchen: perhaps we should add that to the DealingwithCrisis policy/doc19:28
kikoRinchen, posted /where/?19:28
SteveARinchen: if the monitoring system had been responded to on Sunday, the problem would have been fixed within 5 mins.19:29
Rinchenkiko, dunno. Somewhere where I would naturally see it.19:29
kikothe issue as I see it is that the site is down and there's no fallback place to look19:29
matsubaraRinchen: I mean, we should add that the part of the procedure is to notify in public places that people are looking at the issue19:29
Rinchenkiko, right19:29
kikoRinchen, that's the key problem, so unless we can answer that, all bets are off19:29
Rinchenkiko, that rarely happens though19:29
SteveAstop, please19:29
SteveAwe're talking about a problem that was fixed within minutes of an appropriate person looking into it19:29
mptSteveA, will you post to launchpad@ when your discussions with IS have a conclusion?19:29
SteveAthe issue was the lack of appropriate people on that sunday19:30
SteveAand I'm talking with people about how we address that.19:30
SteveAenough with 1800LAUNCHPAD ;-)19:30
kikoSteveA, it was a non-proposal, in case you missed that :)19:30
Rinchenhmmm19:30
RinchenI have more to say about this but I won't now.  Moving on...19:31
mptWe have UI for planned extended downtime. We don't have UI for unplanned extended downtime, but we may not need it.19:31
RinchenSteveA, if you could post the results of that IS discussion please as mpt suggested19:31
SteveAsure19:31
