dholbachgood morning06:33
PseudoBobHey, anyone in here actually alive?08:43
slytherinPseudoBob: state you question08:45
PseudoBobAlrighty then.  I was finally able to get javac working and now have a .class file sitting in my home user directory.  The problem is, when I use java helloworld, it returns all sorts of errors.08:46
persiaPseudoBob: The errors are likely to help you understand the issue with the class file.  That said, you likely want ##java for java help; this channel is more about packaging Java applications for Ubuntu.08:47
slytherinPseudoBob: Short answer. Your home directory is not in class path, so you need to do 'java -cp . helloworld'. Long answer: ##java08:48
PseudoBobHm, it says I can't join that channel.08:48
persiaPseudoBob: You probably have to talk to nickserv and identify08:49
slytherinPseudoBob: Your nick need to be registered, if it is not already08:49
PseudoBobHow does one do that?08:49
PseudoBobI'm new here, if you somehow couldn't tell...08:50
slytherinPseudoBob: type this message - /msg nickserv help register08:51
PseudoBobAlright, thank you very much.08:52
PseudoBobHave a nice life.08:52
persiaPseudoBob: Good luck with your program08:52

persiarobilad: The week for the meeting is underway.  Have you selected a date?15:11
robiladit seems that we don't have a date with no overlap15:12
persiaNo, Just have to pick the best one.  Did you ever get feedback from anyone other than dholbach, slytherin and I?15:16
robiladfrom marek slama, too15:16
persiaIf you can get yourself, slytherin, and mslama at the meeting, that's likely good.  dholbach's interest is likely mostly about team-building and I'm scattered enough that I'm used to reading logs.15:17
robiladok15:18
robiladso it looks like wed 4:00 pm utc is the easiest choice15:19
robiladfrom looking at http://www.doodle.ch/participation.html?pollId=fy7xd7hgrd59y7p515:19
dholbachwhich wed? tomorrow?15:19
robiladyes15:19
dholbachdo we have doko?15:19
robiladnot yet - doko?15:19
dholbachwe should have had some small time in advance to announce it publicly15:19
robiladok, then thu ?15:20
persiadholbach: Do you think it's worth delaying another week?  I think two weeks is too much, but one could work.15:20
robilad3-4 pm should work, too.15:20
dholbachThursday would be fine too15:20
dholbachrobilad: do you have any agenda items you'd like to discuss?15:21
robiladsure15:21
dholbachcan you add them to the JavaTeam/Meetings page?15:21
dholbachlooking at the fridge calendar: thursday looks better15:22
dokodo we have a meeting?15:22
dholbachwe're planning to kick off the ubuntu java team and discuss it with interested parties15:23
persiadoko: We'll start having meetings.  Thursday is the first.15:23
dholbachrobilad: once we have a rough agenda, I can mail the ubuntu-news-team, ubuntu-devel and do a blog post - I guess that should be a good start15:24
dokoUTC?15:24
dholbachyep15:24
dholbachdoko: would 16:00 UTC Thursday work for you?15:25
dokountil September sure15:25
dholbachoh, that'd be just for this thursday, then see how we do15:26
robiladyep15:26
dholbachI'd reckon that having an IRC presence in here (for those that are interested) and meetings every 2 weeks or some such would be good enough15:26
* robilad invites dholbach, persia, doko, slytherin, man-di etc. to add items to the agenda on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/Meeting15:27
dholbachrobilad: let me know once you've added a few agenda items - the same goes for everybody else in here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/Meeting15:27
dholbachhehe15:27
dholbachthen I can send out an announce15:27

robiladok, thanks15:38
dholbachhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-July/025692.html15:39
dholbachwill blog about it too15:39
persiaIs this really the first meeting?  I thought there were a couple in Dapper and Edgy.15:40
dholbachdoes somebody have a java logo somewhere I can use in the post?15:40
persiaErm.  Is Duke available for arbitrary badging?15:41
robiladhttps://duke.dev.java.net/15:41
robiladduke's under BSD15:41
robiladso go wild15:42
robilada duke with a ubuntu ring hula-hooping ;)15:42
robiladfor example ;)15:42
dholbachok... if there are any gimp specialists, feel free to send me such a pic :-)15:43
dholbachhttp://daniel.holba.ch/blog/?p=125 is the best I can do with the gimp :-)))15:43
robiladheh15:43
persiadholbach: Just grab your favorite duke pose then.15:44
dholbachcheck out http://daniel.holba.ch/blog/?p=132 and let me know if it's OK or I should fix something15:53
dholbachpersia, doko, robilad: ^15:53
persiaHeh.  Good duke choice15:53
robiladthanks, dholbach, looks great!15:54
dholbachgracias15:54
dholbachlet's hope we get lots of interested folks and more hands on deck15:54
dholbachcan we please update  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Lists/ReferencePackages#Java  ?15:55
dholbachI'm sure we have some packages that are good already and could serve as reference15:55
dholbachdoko: do you know any good java packages that are easily understandable we could add there?15:55
persiaPart of the issue there is that most of the interesting applications are large and unique, and lots of the rest are libraries.  There aren't a lot of basic apps in the repos yet.15:56
dholbachwe should really have an "easy app" and "easy module" one15:56
persiaHopefully OpenJDK in main lets the right flags be set that this is no longer true for intrepid.15:56
dokodholbach: hmm, it shouldn't be too simple ...15:57
dholbachdoko: just something for orientation15:57
dholbachrobilad, doko: any package at all you'd recommend?16:00
robiladoff the top of my head, I think man-di had a few examples for new packagers in debian a while ago, I hope those apply for new ubuntu packagers, too16:03
robiladman-di: do you remember the list you gave me? i think commons-cli was on it?16:03
persiaPackaging for Debian and Ubuntu ought be nigh identical: main differences are icedtea/openJDK related.16:05
man-dirobilad: I dont remember about that but commons-cli is packaged since a long time16:27
man-diwe had some trouble with it when we updated it from 1.0 to 1.116:27
robiladman-di: any packages you'd have in mind as 'beginner-friendly' resources for learning about doing it right?16:28
man-dirobilad: asm3 perhaps16:29
man-diwe have so much cludge in the packages, nothing is really beginner-friendly16:30
man-diand most beginners just miss the basic knowledge about stuff that make our packaging easier, debhelper, cdbs16:31
chandru_inhi, can I join the meeting on Thursday without adding my name to the list as I do not have any specific agenda for myself?18:47
chandru_inanyone here?18:51
robiladchandru_in: sure19:22
robiladit's an open IRC channel19:22
chandru_inthanks for the clarification robilad19:23
chandru_inI hope Java gains strength on top of Ubuntu19:23
* robilad too19:23
chandru_inAnyway was waiting only for the clarification.  Hope to see you guys on Thursday.  Bye.  :)19:24
