* fetova scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!01:32
meisokfetova: enhorabuena !! ;)01:32
pleia2SEJeff doesn't appear to be here01:32
pwnguinIt's a bit unfair to ask people to ensure they can make it to a meeting before adding themselves to the agenda, and then only giving them three days notice (beneath a sign saying "Beware of Leopard"). That might explain SEJeff's dissapparance :(01:32
fetovagracias marianom y meisok :D01:32
pleia2pwnguin: we don't require attendence01:33
pleia2pwnguin: if you miss, you just get the next meeting :)01:33
pleia2anyway01:33
pleia2pwnguin: you're up!01:33
pwnguinsure01:33
pwnguinMy name is Justin Dugger and I've been helping Ubuntu for two years now.01:33
pwnguinI participate in testing, xorg bug triage and the toshiba-tablet team. I also keep a blog on technical subjects related to Ubuntu. My wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JustinDugger) and LP page (https://edge.launchpad.net/~jldugger) have a detail on my contributions to Ubuntu.01:33
Technovikingpwnguin: I change the wiki 4 days ago I believe01:33
pwnguinI just edited my wiki page at :25 after to fix some LP links, so you might want to reload.01:33
pwnguinTechnoviking: sure, but when I ask people to appear on my behalf, it's a bit nerve wrecking to tell them to reschedule01:34
pwnguinalso, though I doubt it counts for much, I am the author of #22 on bash.org --> http://bash.org/?2201:34
pwnguin:)01:34
pwnguinI've asked Bryce Herrington to speak on behalf of my contributions.01:34
pwnguinbryce?01:34
pleia2pwnguin: what's your launchpad link?01:34
pwnguindoh01:35
pwnguinI've asked Bryce Herrington to speak on behalf of my contributions.01:35
pwnguinarg paste01:35

* pwnguin shakes fist at LP url redirection01:35
brycehi01:35
brycepwnguin has been a very valuable participant in the ubuntu-x team, and I would heartily recommend him for membership01:36
pleia2bryce: ubuntu-x ?01:36
brycepleia2: the Xorg maintenance community01:37
pleia2gotcha01:37
brycepwnguin helps with bug triage, answering user questions, and so on, which helps a great deal01:37
pwnguini also fire up gdb on occasion01:37
pwnguinbut i find that the xorg guys know more about the byzantine depths of xkb than i problably ever will01:38
pleia2pwnguin: your wiki page doesn't list any future plans, what do you have in store?01:38
pwnguinwell, in the future I'd like to continue my work with toshiba-tablet01:38
pwnguinas well as bug triage01:38
pwnguintablet and wacom support is critical to getting more artists involved with ubuntu, I think01:39
pleia2pwnguin: how long have you been working with ubuntu?01:40
pwnguinlets see, i think the laptop testing page i maintain was started in october of 200601:40
pwnguinreporting bugs, probably a bit older01:41
pwnguinmy first ubuntu install was in 200501:41
pwnguini used debian before that :)01:41
* pleia2 nods01:41
pleia2ever contribute to debian?01:41
pwnguinon occasion01:41
pwnguini subscribe to the FingerForce debian team01:41
pwnguinbut since i dont have a debian install, i dont think its wise to send bug reports to them01:42
pleia2well keep up the good work, it's great to see someone so active it bugs with an intention of doing more :) +1 from me01:42
vorianI'm happy to +1, based on great feedback and good work01:43
pwnguini did try sending some patches to the debian thinkfinger maintainer, but he was a bit less ... pragmatic01:43
pleia2pwnguin: heh, yeah, I know how that can go01:43
keffie_jayx+1 great bug and x work01:43
Technoviking+1 from me01:44
pleia2congrats pwnguin!01:44
vorianwelcome pwnguin :)01:44

pwnguinwell hey, im not inconvinenced01:46
vorianthen why complain?01:46
vorianwho's next? :)01:46
pleia2that's it!01:46
pwnguinbut you know, i dont like telling core devs to show up and waste time. its not about me, but about improving how ubuntu works :P01:47
Technovikingnight all01:47

henotopic: 8.04.1 status18:18
henoaccording to http://people.ubuntu.com/~sbeattie/sru_todo.html we are down to 21 targets now18:18
henoonly one appears to be hw-specific, which is good18:19
sbeattienss and nspr are actually false positives, I believe.18:19
henook18:19
davmor2heno: wubi is getting some love too so hopefully that should work better for .118:19
arawhen is the point release?18:19
pedro_middle of july?18:20
henosbeattie: you want to give a 2-line update from your POV?18:20
sbeattiedavmor2: yeah, thanks for Wubi testing!18:20
henoI think we are aiming for early July18:20
davmor2sbeattie: It's what I do :)18:21
sbeattieSummary: SRU validation seems to be going along pretty well, made good progress with SRU Bug Hud day yesterday.18:21
sbeattieThanks to all who participated!18:21
pedro_ara: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule18:21
henoI don't think we have committed to a date, but before the sprint AFAIU18:21
sbeattieJuly 3rd was the last date I heard.18:21
henoright18:21
sbeattieWhich is coming up fast.18:21
henothat's the target18:22
pedro_we have a different one on the QA Schedule btw18:22
henowe'll see how that goes18:22
sbeattieright.18:22
henooh?18:22
pedro_https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/IntrepidSchedule <- points to be July 10th18:22
henoAs the QA team we should have a clear view on whether it's ready18:22
davmor2it ain't ready ;)18:23
sbeattiepedro_: ah, yeah, the alpha2 and 8.04.1 switching weeks with other has not been reflected there.18:23
henoand if we feel elements are not we should advocate a) a delay or b) they some updates are left out18:23
davmor2I think the 10th will be more realistic18:23
bdmurraycjwatson swapped alpha 2 and 8.04.1 on the 18th18:23
bdmurrayI'll subscribe to main release schedule and update the QA team one as necessary18:24
henoit would of course be good if the process were not blocked on us at that point ;)18:24
davmor2I won't be here blame sbeattie ;)18:24
henothanks sbeattie for the summary18:24
henonext18:25
henotopic: Evaluation and Future of Hug Days18:25
henothe activity seems to have slowed down a bit the past few weeks18:25
sbeattiesummer lull?18:25
pedro_sbeattie: seems so18:25
henowhich I think is mainly due to it being summer18:26
henoso I suggest we scale back to one day for now18:26
henowhen should we aim to resume 2? just after the bug jam or Septemberish?18:26
arabug jam?18:27
bdmurrayI think after the global bug jam would be good18:27
henoFeature Freeze is Aug 28th18:27
davmor2After feature freeze is good less major changes18:28
henoara: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GlobalBugJam18:28
pedro_yup that's a good date18:28
arata18:28
henopedro_: which? bj or ff?18:28
stgraberafter FF sounds good18:28
pedro_heno: after FF18:29
henook let's aim for after FF - with the option of picking it up after the BJ if there is a surge in interest18:30
henoany other topics today?18:30
bdmurraywhich day for the one a week bug day?18:30
pedro_not from me18:30
henoI would prefer Thursdays18:31
aracan anyone point me to the wiki page where bug days have their schedule?18:31
henoas I have a ton of meetings on tuesdays18:31
henobut I'm not fussed18:31
pedro_yeah i tend to be a bit swamped the first days of the week (lot of bugmail to read)18:32
pedro_Thursdays are also good for me18:32
bdmurrayThursday is fine with me18:32
sbeattieworks for me.18:32
henohttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay is the main bug day page, but it has no schedule18:32
cgreganBetween 12 and 3 I am booked solid, but other than that18:33
henoit has tended to be every tues and thurs18:33
cgreganEST18:33
davmor2the wiki has been updated for mobile-builder18:33
henoit has the next day listed though18:33
henobut is out of date :)18:34
pedro_do you think it would be a good idea to start asking for help on setting up the hug day page at the bugsquad list or in the bugcontrol one?18:34
pedro_for having more participation from the community18:34
henoso a QA team meeting page type schedule would be good on that page18:34
pedro_otherwise some of them didn't even noticed that there's a hug day18:35
arayes, that would be helpful18:35
bdmurrayI've asked in the past, I think the last sprint, and no one was interested18:35
henoshould we just ask a few individuals directly?18:35
cgregandavmor2: :-)18:35
davmor2cgregan: KVM build mean 1 line to build :)18:36
pedro_heno: yep that would work better, we have a few core members that we can ask for help18:36
davmor2add the ppa to the repos and then add the app:)18:36
henopedro_: will you take an action to try that?18:37
pedro_heno: sure, i'll do it18:37
henook great18:37
henoany further topics?18:37
bdmurrayI've been working on the wiki a fair bit and my .moin_aliases file is quite long now.  Would anyone be interested in sharing these somehow?18:38
henobdmurray: what does that do exactly?18:38
bdmurraya moin_aliases file is just shortcuts to wiki pages18:39
* heno should probably know having helped set up the Ubuntu wiki18:39
sbeattiethat'd be useful.18:39
bdmurrayso you can use editmoin debug-usplash18:39
henook18:39
bdmurrayand it'll expand to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUsplash18:39
arathat is helpful :-)18:39
sbeattiebdmurray: though perhaps you're the biggest/sole user of ~/.moin_aliases, apparentl7.18:40
henoshould we set up a bzr branch?18:40
davmor2bdmurray: I didn't get chance to play with any images in the end :(18:40
bdmurrayIt seems silly for one file but the best idea at the same time18:40
sbeattiewell, should we have a bzr branch for generally useful qa things?18:41
sbeattie(not sure what else should go in that yet)18:41
bdmurrayleann and I set one up for canonical specific things, however a general bugsquad one might be good too18:41
henothat could include the vim bug day script too18:42
bdmurrayThrowing in the bugs mailing list scripts might be good too18:42
davmor2sbeattie: it could include the script for dl-ing the isos18:42
davmor2too18:42
henoand greasemonkey scripts perhaps18:42
sbeattiedavmor2: excellent suggestion!18:42
aracool, that would save a lot of time to new starters ;-)18:42
henooh, lots of good ideas :)18:42
bdmurraythe greasemonkey scripts are a separate project, which I really think is best18:42
bdmurrayAs thought might want to be used by other launchpad projects18:43
henobdmurray: can you organise this?18:43
arai can imagine myself trying to do something and after a couple of hours someone saying "but we already have a script for that"18:43
ara:D18:43
bdmurrayheno: sure18:43
davmor2ara: we did say just ask ;)18:43
henoperhaps we should also set up an ubuntu-qa LP team again so devs can find us18:43
sbeattieOh, as an aside, I should mention laserjock/Jordan Mantha and I have set up an sru-tools project: https://launchpad.net/sru-tools18:44
henoI was in a motu sru meeting where several people claimed that Ubuntu QA did not exist because we were not in LP :)18:44
sbeattieheno: agreed, or rename canonical-qa LP team18:44
henosbeattie: canonical-qa has a separate function18:45
henorelating to bugs escalated from support etc18:45
davmor2heno: there you go the second tier to iso testers :)18:45
sbeattieheno: Oh! Makes sense. And now I understand the bugs I get being subscribed to that team. :-)18:45
bdmurraylol18:46
henoshould we make it hierarchical or just an umbrella team?18:46
pedro_haha18:46
henoheh18:46
pedro_an umbrella is ok18:46
henoso people in bug control and testing are members - bugsquad too?18:46
pedro_yup, they're part of the ubuntu-qa ;-)18:47
bdmurrayHrm, bug control would be every developer then18:47
henohm, so perhaps only bugsquad?18:47
arai am not in any of those teams yet18:47
bdmurrayheno: what is the point of the team again?18:47
henobdmurray: to raise our visibility as a QA team in he dev community and host common tools like that bzr branch18:48
persiaI'd suggest including bugcontrol won't hurt.  It might be nice if more developers were reminded that they are also QA.18:49
davmor2ara: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Isoscript18:49
davmor2for the dl script :)18:49
ara:-) thanks davmor218:50
sbeattiePerhaps related, are there other things we should be doing to raise our visibility and encourage more community participation?18:51
henowill this cause lots of spam if people start assigning/subscribing bugs to ubuntu-qa?18:51
henowhich will happen18:51
persiaOnly if there isn't also an ubuntu-qa mailing list.18:51
henowhich we don't really want to flood with bugmail18:52
persiaFor Ubuntu Universe Sponsors we created a mailing list, with optional subscription.  Those members who like bugmail subscribe, and those that consider it spam don't.18:52
persiaCould be ubuntu-qa-bugs...18:52
bdmurraypersia: is than an lp mailing list or not?18:52
persiabdmurray: For UUS, it's an ubuntuwire list (UUS predates LP MLs)18:53
henothough that makes it seem like we _want_ people assigning/subscribing bugs to ubuntu-qa :)18:53
henoand we haven't defined the purpose of that yet18:53
persiaIt will happen anyway (currently happens for MOTU), but can be discouraged.  Active people will learn, and the rest will go away.18:54
henocgregan: you've set up a bunch of LP teams recently; could you look into possible structures for this and their implications?18:55
henothen we can consider a few options at the next meeting (and whether we need this at all)18:55
cgreganheno: sure18:56
henothanks18:56
persiaI think it has PR value, even if it's essentially useless for coordination.18:56
henocould well be18:56
heno#endmeeting18:56
henothanks everyone18:56

cjwatsonso, sorry for the lack of agenda this week; I have been rather busy with belated reviews and such, as some of you have noticed ;-)23:01
slangasek:)23:02
calcheh23:02
james_wI wonder if doko will be late due to celebrating his goal.23:02
asachis goal?23:02
cjwatsonI haven't normally done a roll-call for these meetings, but I thought it might be worth asking if there are other folks around here who want to register themselves as present for the platform meeting; this isn't intended to be a closed meeting23:02
dokoheh, stopped the turks before the gates of Vienna, again ;-)23:02
james_wyeah, M. Klose scored the second.23:03
* asac hugs doko23:03

dokodon't expect me to be sober ...23:03
asacdoko: i know what you mean ;)23:04
* ajmitch is present but lurking at work :)23:04
ArneGoetjecjwatson: here23:05
cjwatsonok, great23:05
dokoso it looks like we won't finish the merges in time23:05
cjwatsonthat was in fact the only thing I had to discuss23:06
* ogra cant look at hotkey-setup anymore but will finish it tomorrow23:06
cjwatsonthere are 49 remaining main merges23:06
liwI have been very bad at helping with merges :(23:06
slangasekI have been very bad at sponsoring the merges liw helped with23:06
cjwatsonmany of which are "assigned" to people here23:06
liwcjwatson, subtract procps23:06
bryceslangasek mentioned that we're in freeze for alpha1 now, though?23:06
cjwatsonnoted23:06
* TheMuso is almost done with the initramfs-tools merge. Should have it done by the end of this morning my time.23:07
cjwatsonslangasek: we probably ought to resolve that conflict ...23:07
ograif i ever get over th ehotkey stuff i'll grab some more tomorrow23:07
cjwatsonis there anyone here who has merges assigned to them that they feel they cannot do in time?23:08
cjwatsonif not, we can parcel out the others23:08
liwI have nothing assigned to me, I've looked at low-hanging fruit today (devscripts and debiantuils seems simple)23:08
asaccjwatson: i wont do enigmail now as i have to do the latest upstream releases in debian first.23:09
liwI'll work on those and more tomorrow, assuming there's still time23:09
slangasekif folks can squeeze in some ISO testing today, we ought to be able to get alpha1 out the door in < 24h and let the merges through right behind?23:09
cjwatsonasac: how about epiphany-extensions and network-manager-applet?23:09
slangasek(for whatever value of "today" fits your timezone)23:09
james_wlvm2 is still on my plate, no reaction from the maintainer, so I guess it's time to package the new upstream directly.23:09
calcslangasek: is vmware testing useful, or do you want mostly bare metal?23:09
asacnm-applet will go for 0.7 so i skipped it23:09
cjwatsonslangasek: a bit of a sprint, but I suppose that's theoretically doable23:09
slangasekcalc: vmware is perfectly fine23:10
dokohmm, didn't notice the alpha freeze; please don't accept gpm from NEW before alpha1 is released23:10
calcslangasek: ok i'll take a look at some after dinner tonight, setting up downloads now :)23:10
cjwatsonslangasek: I didn't think we wanted to freeze in Launchpad for the milestone, though?23:10
slangasekcjwatson: well, we know we're not releasing desktop images, and I think we can also forego DVDs, which cuts our image set by more than 50%23:10
asaccjwatson: ephy + extensions will receive multiple upstream uploads this release too. i can do them, though i dont think its really worthwhile23:10
cjwatsonasac: ok23:11
slangasekcjwatson: the "freeze" I mentioned to bryce was solely that I asked him kindly to not make xserver-xorg-video-all depend on any more new packages in universe ;)23:11
liwISO testing... I know how to do that!23:11
cjwatsonslangasek: right, just that without that we simply get to assume that merges will be safe or that the images we already have will be OK; we can't really do a "let merges through" process without a technical freeze23:12
asacslangasek: i looked at ncurses. would you mind if i take that merge from you?23:12
cjwatsonnow, that may actually be OK23:12
slangasekcjwatson: right; I didn't mean to imply a technical freeze actually23:12
liwso, should we do merges, ISO testing, or both? (/me is a Developer with a Very Small Brain)23:12
slangasekasac: you're welcome to it23:13
slangasekliw: you're well-positioned to do ISO testing, as I recall :)23:13
liwslangasek, yes23:13
cjwatsonspeaking personally, I plan to do both23:13

TheMusoslangasek: I think we can safely say studio is nowhere nearly ready for any alpha, due to linux-rt breakaage on our disks.23:14
calci have tried to reproduce the bug on both of my machines and in vmware and can't23:14
cjwatsonISO testing (particularly alternate/server) is feasible to do in the background23:14
cjwatsonparticularly if you're doing it in qemu as I will be, since kvm is busted for intrepid right now ... takes forever23:14
TheMusocjwatson: Busted on the guest side, or the host side?23:14
slangasekTheMuso: ok; I'd be happy to work with you guys to get studio straightened out if you thought it was possible, but I'll also admit I'm relieved if I don't have to for this round23:14
cjwatsonTheMuso: guest side, my host hasn't changed23:15
brycecalc: I have a package pending to just revert the XCB support from libx11; I'm wondering if that may let us work around the issue sufficiently?23:15
* ogra will do the alternate ltsp tests as usual23:15
TheMusocjwatson: Damn, I was going to use it also. :)23:15
calcthe openoffice.org related part of the bug seems to happen for a user on their main account but if they create a new one it doesn't happen in that one23:15
cjwatsonslangasek: I think we should go for Ubuntu plus whatever else happens to work, and not worry about stragglers23:15
calcbryce: hopefully :)23:15
slangasekcjwatson: <nod>23:15
cjwatsonit's only alpha-1, and since desktop CDs won't work anyway ...23:15
TheMusoslangasek: Well its to do with the big kernel shakeup thats going on, I'm not sure where RT fits into it yet.23:15
calcbryce: the bug is really strange from what i have been able to confirm from people who see it happen23:15
slangasekTheMuso: ah, if it's that level of breakage, then yeah23:15
brycecalc, it'd be really helpful if we could get someone to test the libx11 packages I did23:16
cjwatsonso, re merges, I'm going to assume that desktop team members will get theirs sorted (and check up on that tomorrow)23:16
cjwatsonI'm also going to ask StevenK about his23:16
brycecalc, http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/libx11/23:16
calcbryce: i think there was mention of someone testing some packages plus intrepid in LP23:16
calcbryce: not sure if they are the new ones23:16
ogracjwatson, i pinged him already but he ignored me being busy with image builder stuff  :)23:17
calcbryce: maybe try contacting the person who did the full set of tests to try the new debs23:17

cjwatsonkernel-wedge has slipped cycles before and it won't kill us for it to happen again; it's more important for the kernel guys to have a vague idea of what's going on23:18

james_wI can take backuppc as well I think23:25
ograheh23:26
cjwatsonI'll bug soren about multipath-tools and his other merges23:26
calci'm not sure if it is just my connection but cdimage.u.c seems really slow right now23:26

asacjames_w: ok go ahead then with mono-tools ;)23:26
cjwatsoncalc: it is often thus, yes, I'm afraid23:27
cjwatsonone of the things on my list is to talk with elmo about breaking up cdimage23:27
calcok23:27
calci'm only getting ~ 32KB/s right now, so i am not sure if it will be done in time to do iso testing today23:27
cjwatsonI can imagine hacks such as fetching it DC-locally to chinstrap and scping from there23:28

calclol23:28
cjwatson(this is on the assumption that DC-local will be faster ...)23:28

liwtorrents would sort-of be an automatic solution...23:29
dokocalc: we need to come up with a list of OOo issues that we would see being addressed with the next upstream. next week there's the next ESC meeting23:29
cjwatsonwe ought to have torrents for those already?23:29
calcof course scp from chinstrap is also slow :-\]23:30
cjwatsondoko, calc: can you two set up a phone call to talk about that, maybe?23:30
calcdoko: ok will do, what day is the meeting?23:30
liwcjwatson, I thought cdimage images didn't have torrent, just rsync and http23:30
cjwatsonliw: they *ought* to have torrent but sometimes it requires IS to go and kick the tracker23:30
cjwatsonerr, maybe I'm on crack / out of date23:31
slangasekmm, we had discussed turning off torrents for dailies because they don't seed fast enough to be a win23:31

cjwatson  Drop torrents for daily images; the window when these are usable does not23:31
cjwatson  warrant the load on the torrent tracker.23:31
liwthat's not what I heard in the qa team, but my memory has more holes than swiss cheese, so...23:31
cjwatsonyeah, you're right, I had forgotten23:31
cjwatsonunfortunately the torrent tracker is a big pile of pants23:32
dokocjwatson, calc: yes, that should work; we should do that on Fri around 16:00 UTC, if that doesn't work, maybe on Sat23:32
TheMusoI'll always favour rsync over other methods for daily images anyway.23:32
TheMusoPersonally at least.23:32
calcdoko: ok23:32
cjwatsonjigdo is also workable given a more-local mirror, especially for alternate/server images23:32
cjwatsonin fact, for this case, it might be the best answer23:32
ograTheMuso, ++23:33
cjwatsonjigdo-lite http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/intrepid-alternate-i386.jigdo and give it the path to a nearby mirror when requested23:33
calcor filling up chinstrap's disk works as well ;-)23:33
liw. o O (I wrote a (configurable) script to keep dailies updated from cdimage.u.c, that should perhaps be taught to do jigdo)23:33
TheMusoliw: So did I, although mine is a little more hard-coded.23:33
* cjwatson keeps a local mirror, so jigdo is especially efficient23:33
cjwatsonbut it can't work for desktop CDs23:34
TheMusoOne day I'll make it more flexible. :p23:34
ograor take the CDrom you grabbed at UDS, dd it to an iso file and rsync on top of that23:34
liwTheMuso, mine should be generic and usable for everyone, sbeattie maintains it now23:34
* calc needs to free another 100gb or so he can create a local mirror23:34
* TheMuso has recently set up a local mirror, so of course jigdo makes sense.23:34
calcTheMuso: how much space does your mirror take?23:35
TheMusocalc: One second.23:35
liwcalc, mine takes 184 GiB23:35
calcah ok i should have enough room soon :)23:35
TheMusocalc: 123GB, and thats source, i386, amd64, and PowerPC.23:35
liwthat's with dapper, feisty, gutsy, hardy, and intrepid; source, i386, amd6423:36
asacTheMuso: just a snapshot or even with some history?23:36
TheMusocalc: 87GB for amd64/i386/source.23:36

TheMusoand -security23:36
cjwatsonmine is 27GB, source/i386/amd64, hardy/intrepid, main/restricted23:37
cjwatsonuniverse/multiverse aren't needed for Ubuntu CDs so I find this a good compromise23:37
TheMusoAh, I also have universe.23:37
slangasek(jigdoing DVD images is fun)23:37
slangasek(especially DVD images with a 1.1GB livefs on them)23:37
TheMusoslagnheh23:37
TheMusoslangasek: heh23:37
liwhow rsyncable is the livefs image?23:38
cjwatsondoko: meeting> that should be fine for me, subject to a phone call David wants me and quite possibly you in (will follow up separately)23:38
ograslangasek, cat'ing a desktop CD on top of alternate and then rsyncing the DVD on top saves a lot i found23:38
cjwatsonliw: quite reasonably23:38
slangasekogra: er... did you find this to be true before, or after, we added the much larger livefs?23:39
calccjwatson: we can shuffle the time around, but i would prefer if it is at least 13:00UTC23:39
cjwatsoncalc: 1600 UTC is probably fine23:39
ograoh, i used it from hoary to gutsy ... but dont have DVDs for edubuntu anymore sicne hardy23:39
dokocjwatson, calc: ohh, I see, I have to leave at 16:00 UTC on Friday, so maybe we could start earlier?23:39
calcdoko: that will be fine23:40
cjwatsondoko: if you have to leave at 1600, won't we need to have the call before that? :)23:40
