[14:02] I pung him [14:02] nothing from kwwii and mpt [14:02] hi hi [14:02] hi [14:02] welcome, mpt and kwwii [14:03] no agenda from the activity reports, and nothing particular from me either, with just the four of us [14:03] so, anything you'd like to alk about? [14:03] pitti: I have a small follow up on the users-admin tool if you are interested [14:03] james_w: oh, absolutely! [14:03] james_w: you pointed me towards this new tool which is in planning [14:03] but that didn't look intrepid-able yet? [14:04] I sent a mail to the distros list, and that new tool looks really good [14:04] A new tool in planning? [14:04] I imagine it won't be intrepid, perhaps intrepid+1, I could follow up if you like [14:04] * mpt has longed to redesign this [14:04] james_w: hm, I must have missed it [14:04] http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2008-May/msg00006.html [14:04] (the mail, not your IRC ping) [14:05] the only other suggestion was yast [14:05] I refuse to work on yast again [14:05] :-) [14:05] well, we want to get rid of super-big tools in favor of a small and sharp one, so yast seems a bit of a step into the wrong direction IMHO [14:05] apparently someone is working on porting it to Debian [14:06] james_w: I think in that case we can survive with users-admin just a little longer [14:06] yeah, the new one seems like it might be a great fit, and presumably will have all the right things like policykit etc. [14:06] in intrepid we're going to drop almost all of the 'permisison' groups, so we can even make users-admin a little more slick [14:06] pitti: yeah, I think seb would like to get rid of it, but there doesn't seem to be anything better at this time [14:07] james_w: at least that settles the question whether or not to put heavy work into s-c-users [14:07] if it's essentially declared dead, there's no point for us to port it to PK [14:07] hmm, some big UI improvements in that new design, but also some awkwardness [14:07] it would probably not be too much work to just use s-c-u with gksu, though [14:08] mpt: it's still in the planning stage, so now would actually be a great time to change the layout [14:08] indeed [14:08] mpt: if you are interested in that, do you feel like following up to that annoucements with your thoughts? [14:08] or are you 100% busy with LP? [14:09] Well I'm not subscribed to fedora-desktop-list, ;-) but I'll certainly e-mail the authors [14:09] right, that's what I meant [14:10] mpt: thanks [14:13] so, unless anyone else has something, I'd just say "see you next week" [14:13] * tedg has nothing else to say. [14:13] "see you next week" [14:14] then, thanks to everyone, and safe travels! === ember_ is now known as ember === smarter_ is now known as smarter === Ali_bb is now known as alibb === ubottu changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Current meeting: Bugs for Hugs Day | Calendar: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/ | 10 Jul 16:00 UTC: Ubuntu Mobile | 11 Jul 12:00 UTC: MOTU | 12 Jul 13:00 UTC: Xubuntu Community | 15 Jul 11:00 UTC: Community Council | 15 Jul 15:00 UTC: Server Team [16:01] OK. We forgot to reserve the room, but it's now time for the Ubuntu Java team meeting. [16:01] * soren runs away [16:01] * robilad waves and claims the hour for the #ubuntu-java meeting, along with persia [16:02] OK. The agenda is up at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/Meeting [16:02] did we reserve for mobile ? [16:02] next hour ? [16:02] ogra: Yes. See /topic [16:02] perfect ... [16:03] sorry for being blind :) [16:03] Last week we talked about some goals for intrepid, and those of us with goals committed to putting them up in the Roadmap. [16:03] The results of this are available from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/RoadMap [16:03] Err. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/Roadnap [16:04] Err. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/Roadmap (I can spell, really!) [16:04] Right now, we don't have any assignments, or comments. [16:04] First item: " Evaluate difficulties faced when utilizing applications that depend and/or are built on Java." Who can speak to that? [16:06] OK. Anyone want to keep it on the roadmap? Are we going to do it? [16:07] it's not quite clear to me what it means in üpractice [16:07] packaging diffculties? developer difficulties? end user difficulties? [16:07] Right. Shall we remove it from the roadmap then? [16:08] sounds fair to me, it can go back once it's more finegrained [16:08] Anyone else? [16:09] OK. Dropping that then. [16:10] Next item: OpenJDK MIR: who is doing that? [16:10] Does it need packaging work first? [16:10] doko: are you around? [16:10] doko: Was that you? [16:11] here! [16:11] what is 'MIR'? [16:12] mareks: Main Inclusion Report [16:12] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements [16:12] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess [16:14] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/246349 for the corresponding bug [16:14] Launchpad bug 246349 in openjdk-6 "MIR for openjdk-6" [Undecided,New] [16:14] doko: May I put your name against that item on the roadmap? Do you need any help with any packaging fixes for that? [16:15] persia: no, that's mostly done. if you do have free resources, maybe look at maven2? I'm not sure who wanted to do that [16:16] doko: Koon mentioned it for the last meeting, but didn't add it to the roadmap. [16:16] not here today, afaict [16:16] Koon said he couldn't make it today, but was interested what would get decided about it [16:16] did he find time to check out the fedora patchset? [16:17] Let's skip maven for this week: if someone starts work on it, we can add it to the roadmap next week. [16:17] robilad: no, I don't think he did [16:17] ok, thanks, then I agree with moving on, and putting it on the agenda for next week [16:18] Next item is "Integration of Java into server stack". Who is the driver for this? [16:19] OK. Anyone want to be the driver for it? [16:19] i'd be happy to, but it may require some maven support if we want to build geronimo/glassfish from source [16:21] Great. Do you want to talk about it a bit, or work on breaking it down into chunks over the next week, and maybe describe some smaller targets for people to help with next week? [16:21] seems like we need a maven workforce :)) [16:22] i'd be happy to talk about the GF side of things next week [16:22] OK. I'll put your name on it for now, and encourage you to break it down a bit in the roadmap. [16:22] thanks [16:22] Next item: "Identify possible opportunities to optimise the Java stack". Who wants this one? [16:23] I think cody-somerville added it [16:23] it wasn't really discussed in the last meeting [16:23] Hmm. Not here this week. Anyone else want it? [16:24] Opinions on dropping it vs. deferring to next week? [16:25] Right. Let's leave it there, as it's at least well described, and see if Cody comes back next week. [16:26] Next item: "Transition Java packages from multiverse to universe where possible". [16:26] I raised this, but won't likely do a very good job of getting it done for intrepid. Anyone willing to take over tracking it? [16:26] i think that's an item that would profit from close collaboration with debian [16:27] Very much so: http://wiki.debian.org/Java/MoveToMain tracks the Debian progress. [16:27] so I'd like to discuss it with man-di when he has time to join us [16:27] When things move to Main in Debian, someone needs to file a bug in Ubuntu to ask the archive-admins to promote the package to universe. [16:28] robilad: While I'm certain man-di could do it, I'd think this sort of tracking Debian might be an easy way for someone new to get involved. [16:28] that's a very good point [16:29] Anyone interested? If not, I'll take it, but would be happy to hand it to anyone who wants to take over. [16:30] Next item: "Improved Java environment on PowerPC": who has a power PC and wants to coordinate the porting efforts? I think there were a couple people interested last week. [16:32] OK. Opinions on keeping it on the roadmap or dropping it? [16:32] is it a release arch for interpid? [16:32] no [16:32] Well, it's in ports. [16:33] so it's not a release arch [16:33] * persia grumbles about definition of terms, and quibbles a bit before subsiding [16:33] it seems that it would take a volunteer from the ubuntu powerpc community to keep it on map [16:34] Right, and we don't have one this week. If someone objects to removing it in the minutes, they can take charge of it. [16:34] OK. That was the Roadmap review: we'll do it again next week. [16:34] Back to the new items on the agenda: [16:34] "Eclipse" [16:35] xhaker seems to be absent, so we'll defer this again. [16:35] Next item: "Moving meetings to 14h". robilad: all yours. [16:36] ok, i spoke with man-di what time would work for him [16:36] and he suggested starting one or preferrably two hours earlier, [16:36] i.e. 13 or 14h UTC. [16:36] would that still work for everyone interested? [16:37] I'm good for either of those times. [16:37] * robilad pokes persia, doko, dholbach, mareks [16:37] thanks, persia [16:38] others? [16:38] * persia notes that others not just poked who would find those times inconvenient ought speak up quick. [16:38] ah, the advantages of not announcing a meeting on fridge ... ;) [16:38] yeah, I'm good too [16:39] no volunteers, but also no trouble rescheduling ;) [16:39] thanks, dholbach [16:39] OK. From now, we'll take meetings at 14h. [16:40] That completes our agenda. Any volunteers to write up the minutes? [16:41] * robilad would be happy to, where should the write up go to? [16:41] * doko is leaving, back late in the evening [16:41] robilad: I'd think we probably want to put it on the wiki, and maybe send an email. [16:42] I'd be happy to discuss particulars with you in #ubuntu-java after the meeting. Thanks for volunteering. [16:42] ok. next meeting - thu 17th, 14h UTC. [16:42] Thanks everyone. See you next week! [16:42] thanks guys [16:42] thanks all, and bye [16:45] ohh, I won't make it next week for the meeting [16:46] doko: OK. If there's a change in status on OpenJDK can you let us know in #ubuntu-java, and someone else can bring it to the meeting? === ubottu changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Current meeting: Ubuntu Mobile | Calendar: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/ | 11 Jul 12:00 UTC: MOTU | 12 Jul 13:00 UTC: Xubuntu Community | 15 Jul 11:00 UTC: Community Council | 15 Jul 15:00 UTC: Server Team [17:02] * ogra waves [17:02] #startmeeting [17:02] Meeting started at 11:03. The chair is davidm. [17:02] Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] [17:02] OK silly of me [17:02] old habits die hard :) [17:03] Good morning everyone. [17:03] We have no prior business from last week. [17:03] I do have a bit of news, I have located the mootbot meeting logs for the last two weeks so I'll post them today. [17:03] OK that is better. [17:03] Someone please keep an eye on #ubuntu-mobile so that anyone confused (like I was ) gets directed here, thanks. [17:03] do you need to restart mootbot? [17:04] So I guess we can move to this week's items? [17:04] GrueMaster: he did [17:04] Already did [17:04] INdeed [17:04] And additionally this chan is logged 100% of the time I think [17:04] It is. irclogs.ubuntu.com [17:04] just checking. [17:04] [topic] Wiki cleanup: feedback and ideas (EmmetHikory) [17:04] New Topic: Wiki cleanup: feedback and ideas (EmmetHikory) [17:04] persia: Thanks for a lot for picking up this task! [17:04] OK. Last week, I send out https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mobile/2008-July/001935.html [17:04] persia: Did you check whether dholbach had any useful bits on this task? [17:05] Everyone who replied to the mail was in agreement. Anyone else have suggestions? [17:05] I think he cleaned up the dev pages of the Ubuntu wiki some months ago [17:05] [link] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mobile/2008-July/001935.html [17:05] LINK received: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mobile/2008-July/001935.html [17:05] lool: Yes. I've gotten a lot of input from him on standard team structures, etc. [17:05] Great [17:05] That was part of why I suggested separating the team from the flavour on the wiki. [17:06] I fully agree [17:06] And I would add that any additional orthogonals splits that you can come up with will probably help reuse information [17:07] OK. In the absence of either objections or other ideas, I'll start implementing the changes I described next week. Anyone who wants to get a head start is welcome to dive in. [17:07] persia, sounds good to me :-) [17:08] OK if there is no more on this topic? [17:08] There are no additional items on the agenda. [17:09] [topic] Agenda empty!!! [17:09] New Topic: Agenda empty!!! [17:09] :) [17:09] davidm: devices? [17:09] cgregan, ?? [17:09] I talked to pat [17:09] Ah, [17:10] Intel will need to provide [17:10] * lool wonders whether we have not much to discuss on these IRC meetings because we have a call some hours before the meeting [17:10] Good enough, thanks, I'll get back to them. [17:10] lool, from the mobile team, perhaps but we might have topics from the community? [17:11] davidm: But if we don't discuss all our topics in the public, we wont get much community love [17:11] yeah [17:11] It's not that we're hiding them, but because we cover them privately already... [17:11] I had a similar problem with the one to ones [17:11] should we move call to Friday morning? [17:11] we should probably switch order ... but that might get tricky if this meeting here is immovable [17:11] We can discuss here if you like, then the team meeting can become short again which I like :-) [17:12] I had nothing to discuss with people because it was too close ot the weekly phone call [17:12] davidm: hehe [17:12] I think either flipping order of phone call and irc meeting or moving them further apart in the week could help [17:12] At least it helped me have more interesting phone calls with people [17:13] I like the phone call because it gives me a few minutes to "hear" everyone and I get a clew if someone is unhappy or stressed that I can't get here. I'm quite happy to have meeting here. [17:13] cgregan: I think moving call Friday morning would work; it's Friday evening for StevenK though [17:13] make it a weekly recap to discuss what comes up from community here, and status of our work for the week [17:13] If StevenK and persia don't mind I don't [17:13] davidm: I think having a phone call is fine, it's very effective, but it deprives this IRC meeting from a lot of content [17:13] Same for persia [17:14] cgregan: Indeed [17:14] persia: Sorry :) [17:14] * persia has a regular meeting every sixth week at 12:00 UTC on Fridays. [17:14] [topic] telephone meeting and it's impact on IRC public meeting [17:14] New Topic: telephone meeting and it's impact on IRC public meeting [17:14] davidm: Do you have any requirement on the contents of your reports? [17:14] davidm: I mean the weekly reports you'll be aggregating frmo our ARs? [17:14] The only other option is to move it to their morning.....but that makes it very late for you. Although in a few weeks you will be up changing diapers anyway! :-) [17:15] lool, Nope [17:15] cgregan: haha [17:15] I'm fine moving to any other day [17:15] I do need the activity reports (that I still don't have) hint hint..... [17:16] I think we should report progress in the IRC meetings and discuss things here like we did on the phone today [17:17] OK, that can work. [17:17] Cool [17:18] persia: every sixth week doesn't sound too grave [17:18] davidm: Shall we try this new meeting time where we might miss persia once every 6 weeks? [17:18] davidm: Perhaps check with StevenK? [17:18] lool: Nope, but it's MOTU Meeting, which I'm loathe to miss (and you ought be attending :p ) [17:18] Anyway, you people know my computer-times; I'm happy with anything which happens after this IRC meeting in the week or any other day [17:18] Just not some hours before the IRC meeting ;) [17:19] Yes, lets talk about it next week in Lexington [17:19] ++ [17:19] Cool [17:19] OK [17:19] Anything else? [17:19] Apart of that I wanted to propose that we announce presence at upcoming events [17:20] ogra and myself will try to attend the Debian Extremadura week on Emdebian [17:20] And I'll try to go to the maemo Summit in Berlin [17:20] Should I announce presence on our mailing-list? [17:20] I'll be at OLS week after next in Ottawa Canada [17:20] Sure, why not? [17:20] Great [17:20] fine with me [17:20] Will do [17:21] Do we have a wiki page with slides of previous presentations? [17:21] persia, thoughts? [17:21] I'm all in favour of announcing presence on mailing lists :) [17:21] I'd love to reuse some material if I have to present UM&E [17:21] I am not aware of any. Good idea however [17:21] There are some internal but out of date. [17:22] Ok; then I think I'll try to collect some in a wiki page [17:22] I can post mine. [17:22] I'll need to consult with persia on appropriate location of these :-P [17:22] lool: w.u.c/UbuntuMobile/Presentations/$(NAME) [17:23] persia: Name of the event I guess? [17:23] Do we just want w.u.c/UbuntuMobile/Presentations and have attachments there? [17:23] persia: Why UbuntuMobile and not just Mobile BTW? [17:23] Or name of the presentation if you're building a static presentation for multiple fora [17:24] Seems perhaps (to me) silly to have a page for an event that has a single attachment? [17:24] I was thinking we would collect a list of oo presentations or pdfs or whatever and list at which events these were presented by whom at which date [17:24] Mostly because the name is most similar to UbuntuStudio from the other flavours, and that is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio [17:24] davidm: I find this a bit heavy too [17:25] persia: But then everything on wuc is Ubuntu; sounds weird to repeat that part? :) [17:25] DRY [17:25] davidm: If we're doing attachments, that makes more sense. [17:25] lool: I'm just trying to follow the prevailing conventions. [17:25] persia: Desktop is using /DesktopTeam [17:25] persia, I think mostly that is what we are likely to have. [17:26] There's also /PlatformTeam [17:26] I'm happy with /MobileTeam, but think that's a different namespace than /UbuntuMobile/ [17:26] davidm: You've convinced me. [17:27] persia: Hmm let's do some research on existing conventions after the meeting then [17:27] Would it make sense to have a ???Mobile???/Presentations page and if there is more then just attachments put a page under it, if not just add attachment? [17:27] That works even better: best of both models. [17:27] yeah [17:28] Excellent [17:28] :-P I guess a pointed headed boss can do something correct once in a while ;-P [17:28] there is also this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UMEGuide/PresentationArea [17:28] i think for massive attachment handling we should take a look at the artwork team pages probably [17:28] they collect theme work there [17:29] ian_brasil: What's the criteria used to group these presentations there? [17:29] if we even get that many presentations together to acually worry :) [17:30] presentations about ubuntu mobile and upstream [17:30] True, it's not like we are going to be on the road full time doing presentations, but we will do some. [17:30] i.e. a catch all [17:30] ian_brasil: I would think we need to focus on UM&E presentations; probably as done by people working on UM&E and presenting the goals and their work [17:30] ian_brasil: it looks like you have some hildon presentations in there [17:30] right [17:30] I think these are helpful to developers, or can be linked to from documentation, but do they really document UM&E or help reusing material for a new presentation? Perhaps less so [17:31] ian_brasil: But thanks, definitely an useful collection to point technical people at [17:31] Well all of this is technical anyway :) [17:32] Ok; thanks everybody for discussing presentation materials [17:33] I don't have anything more on the topic [17:33] OK, good enough, [17:33] (Anyone has additional topics?) [17:33] * ogra not atm [17:33] otherwise meeting close going once....................................................................................................................... [17:34] * GrueMaster remains silent. :-X [17:34] meeting close going twice ................................................ [17:35] #endmeeting [17:35] Meeting finished at 11:36. [17:35] * lool thanks davidm for taking care of the meeting and the related mootbot/wiki administrativa! [17:35] Thanks everyone. [17:35] thanks [17:35] Now finding mootbot logs will be harder!!!! [17:36] There are a lot of meetings in this room..... [17:41] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/ [17:41] the ScribesTeam might be of help [17:42] davidm, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScribesTeam/SubmitMeeting sepcifically [17:42] *specifically even [17:44] Oooh! That's a nifty link. On the other hand, I'm not sure most of my meetings are that disciplined... [17:44] well, we have the agenda page at least [17:44] The summary and log will be placed on the agenda you gave a link for. An email will be sent when log and summary have been posted to the page. [17:44] is what the page says [17:46] so if you just include the scribes team in the weekly mail announce CC list that should work i guess [17:46] (after asking them indeed) [17:46] Probably, although it also requires mootbot wrangling and people staying on-topic. [17:48] which we have anyway in this meeting [17:55] the scribes have had fun with mootbot hosting so I've been pulling the logs when they show up and hosting them on my people.c.c page === ubottu changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Current meeting: Bugs for Hugs Day | Calendar: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/ | 11 Jul 12:00 UTC: MOTU | 12 Jul 13:00 UTC: Xubuntu Community | 15 Jul 11:00 UTC: Community Council | 15 Jul 15:00 UTC: Server Team | 16 Jul 17:00 UTC: QA Team === asac_ is now known as asac === Rafik_ is now known as Rafik
