MootBotCommands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE]16:01
mathiazToday's agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Meeting16:02
mathiazThe previous meeting minutes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/Server/2008071516:02
mathiaz[TOPIC] Add 'status' action to server init scripts16:02
MootBotNew Topic:  Add 'status' action to server init scripts16:02
mathiazkirkland: ^ ?16:03
kirklandmathiaz: howdy, yessir16:03
mathiazkirkland: I've noticed you've generated a first list of init scripts16:03
kirklandmathiaz: Right, so Debian has accepted, in toto, the status_of_proc() functionality, and we've merged the updated lsb-base package into Intrepid16:03
mathiazkirkland: however this list should be trimmed as some ot them don't need to have status action added to them16:03
kirklandmathiaz: and I did generate a rough list of init scripts, as found in default installs of Intrepid server/ubuntu-desktop/kubuntu/xubuntu16:04
kirklandmathiaz: that's absolutely true.  i'm hoping we can leverage the nature of the wiki to make that happen.16:04
kirklandmathiaz: i'd encourage people to add/remove scripts to/from that page, as they review it16:04
ScottK2mathiaz: I have to go to a meeting very shortly.  I'd appreciate just a minute or two early in the meeting before I have to go.16:04
kirklandhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/InitScriptStatusActions16:04
mathiazkirkland: I'd filter the list and reduce it to the package that have a daemon running so that the status_of_proc can be used in there16:05
kirklandmathiaz: I'd like to see links to bug numbers, if and when people work on those16:05
mathiazScottK2: go ahead16:05
ScottK2Thanks16:05
kirklandmathiaz: cool, would you do the first pass of filtering, then?16:05
ScottK2A lot of people said they wanted clamav/spamassassin in Main.16:05
mathiazkirkland: I'll find someone to do it - I've got a couple of mentoring requests16:06
ScottK2Looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClamavSpamassassinInMain, it's been sommer and I so far doing the work.16:06
* ScottK2 does not have time to do all these MIR due to $WORK, so this is a call (again) for people who want this to invest some time in it.16:06
ScottK2MIR are not that hard to do and I'll be glad to answer questions/review stuff.16:06
ScottK2mathiaz: That's it.16:07
mathiazScottK2: ok - great !16:07
mathiaz[ACTION] mathiaz to ask prospective mentors to trim down the list of init scripts.16:07
MootBotACTION received:  mathiaz to ask prospective mentors to trim down the list of init scripts.16:07
ivoksok, i'll help, but don't expect miracles... me does the $WORK too :D16:07
sommerand I should have more time this week/weekend for some mir action16:08
mathiazivoks: are you refering to MIR or status init script ?16:08
ivoksMIR16:08
mathiazivoks: ok.16:08
mathiazI'll mention the MIR in the minutes again16:08
mathiaz[TOPIC] Integration of SASL and Postfix16:08
MootBotNew Topic:  Integration of SASL and Postfix16:09
mathiazivoks: did you have time to discuss the issues with lamont ?16:09
ivoksi've sent an email, but didn't get response16:09
lamontmathiaz: I expect he has, I haven't had time...16:09
ScottK2ivoks: Thanks.16:09
mathiazivoks: lamont ok - great16:09
mathiazThat's all from the last meeting - anyone wants to add something ?16:10
lamontivoks: I expect I'll have time tomorrow evening or so to at least look at thing16:10
lamonts16:10
ivokslamont: ok16:10
mathiazemgent: around ?16:11
taconemathiaz: no16:11
taconeI am here to talk in his place.16:11
mathiaztacone: are you here for rapache ?16:11
taconehe will try to get here later if he can16:11
mathiaz[TOPIC] Rapache presentation and discussion16:11
MootBotNew Topic:  Rapache presentation and discussion16:11
taconeomg, already, ok16:11
mathiaztacone: we can postpone if you want16:11
taconeno no:)16:11
taconeafter the UDS emgent came back and told me that16:11
taconepeople felt the need to have more server-related GUIs16:12
taconefrom that born rapache.16:12
taconeRapache is an Apache configurator gui16:12
taconeI am unsure about the scope of it. If it falls in ubuntu-server or not, because is a desktop application.16:13
taconeour goal is to lower the entry barrier for former windows system administrators used to configure IIS with a program16:13
mathiaztacone: does it support administrating remote servers ?16:14
mathiaztacone: it seems that it's requires a desktop environment to run it16:14
taconemathiaz: currently NOT. that's in the road map as a very high priority16:14
taconethat's a nice point, let me elaborate16:14
mathiaztacone: screen shots somewhere ?16:14
taconeLOL16:14
taconetoo fast :)16:14
emgenthello16:14
mathiaztacone: I don't see any on the rapache website16:15

taconeI am not sure also how much time I have to talk here, so feel free to stop or warm at any time16:15
taconewe put together a blueprint: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyGuiApacheSetup16:16
mathiaztacone: ok16:16
taconeSupporting remote servers: that's in the roadmap but not trivial16:16
ivoksdoes augeas support remote configuration?16:17
taconeso we just started on localhost16:17
emgenttrue, anyway 0.5. version is available on rapache-devel PPA16:17
ivoksif yes, then moving to augeas would solve that problem :)16:17
taconeivoks: not on my knowledge16:17
mathiaztacone: ok - great - I guess most of us are server people - so we're more interested in non-GUI environment16:17
taconewe thought about augeas but we'd like to see how things develop with it.16:17
mathiazivoks: not that know of16:17
emgenthttps://launchpad.net/~rapache-devel/+archive16:17
sorenI think Func is meant to add remoteness to augeas. I'm not sure, though.16:17
mathiaztacone: ok - seems like a good start - you'd probably need to update the wiki page16:18
taconemathiaz: actually I am not sure were to talk about rapache. in ubuntu-server, ubuntu-desktop, lol16:18
taconemathiaz: we have too much stuff around, it's falling outdated :-)16:18
mathiaztacone: it seems that this is a case where you can discuss on both channels16:18
mathiaztacone: probably ubuntu-server is a good place to start with16:18
taconemathiaz: we're starting with ubuntu-server :)16:18
ivoksright, we'll help on backend :)16:19
mathiaztacone: that's where you'll find most of your users16:19
taconenice.16:19
taconewell rapache won't require sysadmin to install anything on remote servers16:19
mathiazanything else on rapache ?16:19
taconebut an ssh certificate, I think that could be quite valuable16:19
taconeas not every sysadmin wants to have estraneous programs on their machine16:20
taconeI guess we're done for now, unless you have more questions16:20
mathiaztacone: not for me16:20
taconeemgent: around ? anything other to say ?16:20
mathiaztacone: thanks for you presentation ! keep up the good work16:21
taconeas the last thing one question from me16:21
taconewhere should we continue the discussion ? shall we talk with ubuntu-desktop people ?16:21
mathiaztacone: I think #ubuntu-server is the best place to keep discussing16:22
mathiaztacone: that's where you'll find most of your end-users16:22
taconenice, you'll see us there often then :)16:22
mathiazlet's move on16:22
taconethank you very much everyone for listening.16:22
mathiaztacone: you're welcome :)16:22
mathiaz[TOPIC] Review progress made on the specification listed on the  Roadmap.16:22

sommermathiaz: good, almost have Kerberos wrapped up16:24
Moot2New Topic:  Review ServerGuide for Intrepid16:24
mathiazsommer: anything that could be reviewed/tested ?16:24
mathiazsommer: I hadn't had time to look into the bzr changes16:24
sommersamba stuff, definitely needs some review16:24
mathiazsommer: it's still on my todo list16:25
mathiazsommer: ok16:25
sommermathiaz: cool, there's still time16:25
mathiaz[TOPIC] Ubuntu VM builder16:26
Moot2New Topic:  Ubuntu VM builder16:26
mathiazsoren: ^ ?16:26
sorenAh, yes.16:26
sorenI'm working on a complete rewrite in Python.16:26
sorenThis is mainly to be able to use it as more of a library (to be able to embed it in various things).16:27
sorenAnother side effect is that we can add lots more logic to it.16:27
sorenOf course, we could have done that in bash too, but it's loads easier in Python.16:27
ivoksand more cool16:28
sorenIt's shaping up rahter nicely, but I'm adding Xen support to it, and that involves changing some core things about the disk handling stuff.16:28
mathiazsoren: is there anything ready for more widespread consumption/testing ?16:28
sorenPeople are very welcome to grab the code off of launchpad and play around with it. It should be able to build dapper, feisty, gutsy, hardy, and intrepid, kvm VM's.16:29
soren...everything else will be added over the next couple of weeks.16:29
=== Moot2 is now known as MootBot
mathiazsoren: is there a package in intrepid and/or hardy ?16:29
mathiazsoren: some documentation somewhere ?16:29
sorenNot right now, no.16:30
sorenI'll probably upload it to Intrepid as a new package, and then yank the old one out when they're on par.16:30
macdAm I too late for server?16:31
mathiazsoren: ok - once there is some basic documentation written, testing by other can start16:31
sorenThe cli is rather self-documenting, I think.16:31
mathiazmacd: not really - we're just hald-way through16:31
sorenDocumentation contributions are also very, very welcome :)16:31
macdmathiaz, great I just want to hit on the ruby stuff going on at the end if thats ok16:32
mathiazsoren: at least a README file or Getting started even if it's 10 lines16:32
sorenGood point.16:32
mathiazmacd: ok - I'll add a point to the agenda16:32
macdty16:32
sorenI'll whip something up.16:32
mathiazsoren: just so that people can get started with it and play around16:33
sorenRight.16:33
mathiaz[ACTION] soren to write a short README file to help people get started with ubuntu-vm-builder16:34

MootBotNew Topic:  Migrate openldap configuration to cn=config16:34
mathiazI'16:34
sorenYou'16:34
soren:p16:34
mathiazI worked on that during last week16:34
mathiazI got a patch that supports new install and upgrade and sent it to the debian maintainers16:35
mathiazI'm waiting for feedback on it16:35
mathiazOnce it's there, it should be easier to implement things like schema/module loading16:36
mathiazI may look into FreeIPA16:36
mathiazto see if we can get something in ubuntu16:36
mathiaz[TOPIC] Boot Support for Degraded RAID16:37
MootBotNew Topic:  Boot Support for Degraded RAID16:37
mathiazkirkland: ?16:37
kirklandmathiaz: I have a test that works on KVMs16:37
kirklandmathiaz: s/test/patch/16:37
kirklandmathiaz: i'm going to test on real hardware, now that I'm back home, and submit16:38
kirklandmathiaz: there's more to be done in the installer16:38
mathiazkirkland: do you know to whom it should be submit for review ?16:38
kirklandmathiaz: kees said kees -> cjwatson -> evand16:39
kirklandmathiaz: the first in the series of patches is relatively minor16:39
kirklandmathiaz: i'll attach it to the bug today, assuming the real-hw test goes as expected.16:39
mathiazkirkland: ok. Is it worth asking for more testing  now ?16:40
mathiazkirkland: or we'd better wait for the inclusion in intrepid ?16:40
kirklandmathiaz: well, i have a pkg in my PPA16:40
kirklandmathiaz: i'm certainly open to any feedback on that (mdadm)16:40
mathiazkirkland: what is required to do testing ?16:40
kirklandmathiaz: huah...  well, in KVM it's extraordinarily complicated16:40
sorenwhy?16:41
kirklandmathiaz: unless soren has some magic to make that easier16:41
mathiazkirkland: let's assume on real hw then16:41
kirklandmathiaz: really hardware, you just need 2 physical disks (can be flash media > 1GB)16:41
kirklandsoren: i'm open to advice as to providing a new KVM machine to-be-installed with 2 physical disks from the start16:41
kirklandsoren: at least through virt-manager, that's not easy16:42
kirklandsoren: so for my testing, i've been doing an install with 1 machine, raiding two partitions on the same disk together16:42
sorenkirkland: Well, it's a GUI, so there's a lot of clicking to do anything.. :) Is it more difficult than expected?16:42
kirklandsoren: then after install, adding another physical disk to the VM, and then to the RAID16:42
kirklandsoren: and then, I have a setup I can work with16:42
mathiazkirkland: so you'd install intrepid on a two-disk system that boots from a raid array on /, install your ppa adm package, poweroff, remove one disk, power on and it should still be booting ?16:43
sorenHuh?16:43
sorenOh, because you can't add two disks to begin with?16:43
kirklandmathiaz: yes assuming you have either a) edited the config file to tell it to do so, or b) pass it the appropriate kernel option16:43
sorenI highly recommend not using virt-manager for the initial install then. :)16:43
kirklandsoren: right...  i'd like to start off an install with two .img disks16:43
mathiazsoren: kirkland: could you figure out a way to simplify the testing instructions using KVM ?16:44
kirklandmathiaz: the default behavior should be as it always has...  on missing disk, drop to initramfs prompt16:44
stgraberkvm -hda blah.img -hdb blah1.img -m 512 -cdrom ubuntu-server.iso16:44
mathiazkirkland: could you add some testing instructions to the wiki page ?16:44
kirklandmathiaz: sure16:44
mathiazkirkland: great16:45
kirklandmathiaz: i'm actually a little slammed at the moment16:45
kirklandmathiaz: but I'll see what I can do16:45

mathiazmacd: right - I've sent my notes to neil as I wasn't able to login in REVU :/16:49
macdand if we could get a few other people looking at it for some more acks, we can be done with that16:49
macdmathiaz, your not the only one I cant either16:49
macdWeve been talking with the debian packager for ruby/rubygems though its becoming a heated discussion16:50
mathiazmacd: yes - are these discussions public ?16:50
macdHes not a rails user at all so he dosnt really understand the paths for gems16:50
macdyes on bug #14526716:50
ubottuLaunchpad bug 145267 in libgems-ruby "Add rubygems bin to PATH" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/14526716:50
mathiazmacd: right - gems are problematic from the distribution POV16:51
macdare they ever :/16:51
macdIn my mind the decision just needs to be made, either we rip gems from  universe, and rails people install from source (which most do) or fix it to behave16:52
mathiazmacd: IIUC there a some similar issue with python eggs16:52
sorengems to Ruby what Pear is to PHP, right?16:53
mathiazsoren: IIUC - yes16:53
sorenOk.16:53
macdNeil and I have been talking about fixing gems, and having something like apt-build build gems as they become updated16:53
macdsoren, yes, pretty much16:53
mathiazmacd: and CPAN for perl16:53
sorenmacd: So it downloads some source code, builds it and installs it somewhere, right?16:53
macdsoren, yep16:54
macdthe problem being the debian gems, and the surce installed gems dont end up in the same place16:54
mathiazmacd: it's a general issue with scripting langages - it may be interesting to look at what other langages are doing16:54
sorenWell, depending on how they designed it, it could be either really easy to shove the compiled stuff somewhere under /var or it could be really, really difficult. :)16:54
macdsoren, I almost suggested the whole thing just be one package in /opt ;P16:55
* soren cringes16:55
ivoksapt-gem?16:55
macdivoks, thats a long term idea for sure16:55
* soren wacks ivoks16:55
macdbut I dont see that being in intrepid ;'P16:55
macdDoes anyone have any other ideas?16:56
sorenIt's hard to say without knowing more about gems.16:56
macdIm about out, short of what I mentioned above with just ripping gems out for now16:56
macdsoren, you can look at that bug I posted with gems, and it covers it very well16:56
sorenWhy is it a problem that ruby "things" from apt get installed in a different place than the ones isntalled by gems?16:57
macdIts seriously just a path16:57
mathiazmacd: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgems-ruby/+bug/145267 ?16:57
ubottuLaunchpad bug 145267 in libgems-ruby "Add rubygems bin to PATH" [Low,Confirmed]16:57
macdsoren, the rails app looks in a specific place16:57
macdsoren, and there is no way short of creating symlinks that it can look somewhere else16:57
sorenmacd: So add another place to look?16:57
macdsoren, rails isnt capable of looking in more than one place16:57
ivoksjesus...16:57
macdthats the caveat that the gems maintainer doesnt seem to grab either16:57
sorenFix it.16:58
Koonmacd: I suppose it could be patched to do it16:58
soren:)16:58
macdI bet it could, and we filed a bug upstream with rails16:58
ivoksall languages support multipath16:58
macdbut those guys arent budging.16:58
Koonwe have kinda the same problem with maven, though it's a little worse (it downloads already-built blobs)16:58
mathiazmacd: do you have the upstream rails bug url ?16:58
macdMost gems are binary already, but some do compile against ruby1.8 or ruby1.9 which presents another problem with debian gems16:59
macdmathiaz, take a quick laugh I dont have my bookmarks sync'd16:59
macd;)16:59
macdbut I'll add it to the rails spec wiki page later today16:59
sorenmacd: Clueless question alert: Google mentions $LOAD_PATH which seems to be a list of places to look for "stuff".17:00
* soren doesn't know ruby lingo, so "stuff" will have to do.. :)17:00
mathiazmacd: great - if you can add links to the relevant ressources on the web that talk about the issue, it would be very helpful to get up-to-speed on the issue17:00
sorenWhy is that variable insufficient?17:00

mathiazOk - let's move on - as we're running out of time17:01
sorenAnd gems are... what?17:02
sorenOk, we can talk in #ubuntu-server in a bit.17:02
persiasoren: It's binaries, not libraries: it's perfectly possible for one gem to depend upon another and run binaries included in the gem depended upon.  This doesn't work in SUDO without mangling /etc/environment, which is not indended for automated modification post-install.17:02
macdsure17:02
macdpersia, thats pretty spot on as to whats happenning17:02
sorenpersia: Oh, things have to be in $PATH, not ruby's library path or whatnot?17:02

MootBotNew Topic:  Open Discussion17:02
macdsoren, yes, exactly17:03

mathiaz[TOPIC] Migrate new installs and upgrades of client and server packages to use SSL v3 or TLS17:04
MootBotNew Topic:  Migrate new installs and upgrades of client and server packages to use SSL v3 or TLS17:04
ivoksi've been working on them; only left are proftpd and lighttpd (both universe)17:04
ivoksso, this will work, but we would be far better of with disabling sslv2 in openssl17:05
mathiazivoks: you've started a thread on -devel about removing support for sslv2 in openssl17:05
mathiazivoks: what's the current situation ?17:05
ivokssmaller delta with debian and a sure thing we disabled it everywhere17:05
* nealmcb1 waves from oscon17:05
ivoksthere's a proposal that we should really disable sslv217:05
ivoksso, atm, we are waiting for really good argument against that action :)17:06
ivoks(disable in openssl)17:06
ivoksas it is disabled in NSS and gnutls17:06
mathiazivoks: ok17:06
sorenI like that idea, but I'm sort of worried about 3rd party stuff still requiring it.17:06
ivokssoren: openssl-sslv2 package in universe?17:07
sorenThat's what I'm thinking. That was a good idea.17:07
ivokswe already have packages like that17:07
zulim sitting on dovecot and apache patches until we get a resolution17:07
sorenBuilt from the same source, so we don't have much of a maintenance overhead.17:07
ivoksapache is one example; same source, multiple binaries with different options17:07
ivokszul: there's vsftpd patch too17:08
zulivoks: ah ok17:08
mathiazit may be worth preparing a patch to the openssl package for the -sslv2 option in universe17:08
ivoksmathiaz: i'm ready to do that17:08
mathiazivoks: great - it may help in the discussion: to see the code17:09
mathiaz[ACTION] ivoks to prepare a patch for the openssl package to disable sslv217:09
MootBotACTION received:  ivoks to prepare a patch for the openssl package to disable sslv217:09
ivoksthis is the only right way to do it17:09

Zied_hello every body19:01
jcastrook!19:01
Syntuxnizarus, Inshallah you'll make it19:01
juliuxif you are searching for the agenda pls look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncilAgenda19:01
jcastrohi everyone, I'm Jorge Castro and I've been tasked in taking on mailing list requests19:01
jcastroover the last week I've cleared out most of the queue for mailing list requests19:01
jcastrobut I have one for ubuntu sri lanka19:02
nealmcbo/19:02
jcastrowhere the admin doesn't want to do it anymore, but we can't have it be blank19:02
jcastroso I guess I am asking if anyone knows anyone in ubuntu-lk to be administrator?19:02
popeycan you ask on their list?19:03
juliuxloco-contacts is also a good place to ask19:03
jcastroI had thought of that but wanted to make sure I touch base with you guys first.19:03
boredandbloggingLoCoTeamList says their are hosting on google groups19:03
jcastroto let you know that I'm here and that I'll be asking around LoCo teams for info if I get a strange ticket, etc.19:04
popeyjust to be clear you only do ubuntu lists, not launchpad ones?19:04
jcastroright19:04
jcastroactually, I decline launchpad ones19:04
* nealmcb notes that the network at oscon is laggy so he may have some outages.... 19:04
boredandblogginglocos and ubuntu teams shouldn't have LP lists, right?19:04
jcastroand tell them to apply to the rt@ubuntu.com address19:04
jcastrocorrect19:04
boredandbloggingjcastro: is the ubuntu-arabic one ticket still open?19:05
jcastroalso, if a loco has fallen through the cracks and still doesn't have a list, you guys can ping/flog me personally to get it approved.19:05
jcastroThat one got fixed yesterday19:05
* popey volunteers ofr that one19:05
jcastro...  and there was much rejoicing19:05
effie_jayxjcastro,  I think it is important that we explain to them the importance of having the lists hosted @ lists.ubuntu.com. we can then handle the redirection of resources19:05
jcastroeffie_jayx: well, when they apply @ launchpad I mail them and explain to them that19:05
jcastrobut if someone could mention that during the LoCo approval process then that would be awesome19:06
popeycool, anything else you want to say jcastro ?19:06
jcastronope, that's it! thanks19:06
Syntuxjcastro, was ubuntu-arabic really fixed?19:06
juliuxjcastro: i am very happy that mailinglist request are now handle better19:06
jcastroSyntux: there were like 3 duplicate tickets, I closed them and approved the one.19:06
popeyok, next agenda item..19:07

nealmcbwow - my lag is minutes long - then I see a flood of messages.  last I saw was at 8:33 after the hour19:12
popeyis one month long enough to gain that experience?19:12
popeydon't we usually recommend people come back in 3 months?19:12
sirex`boredandblogging: now we added more links to event and more details aboult our experience.19:12
juliuxsirex`: if i compare your application page from the last time with todays page i am very impressed19:13
boredandbloggingpopey: it wasn't that the team didn't have experience, there was just none listed on the approval application19:13
sirex`popey: we have experience, but it was nos in our approval wiki.19:13
juliuxpopey: they only for get to document it19:13
popeyah19:13

boredandblogginghow is the progress of GreenPC?19:17
JanCsirex`: is "Baltix" an Ubuntu remix (using Ubuntu repositories for most things) or more like Ubuntu is derived from Debian?19:18

juliuxi thought reapproving;)19:42
boredandbloggingwe can do re-approval on the list19:42
boredandbloggingi think new hampshire might be more pressing issue19:42
ArcI'd like to give the person in question a chance to join, in case he's late19:42
effie_jayxboredandblogging,  cool then19:42
persiaShould reapproval not be interactive with questions?  The agenda encourages adding, and people may be in attendance.19:43
* nealmcb wishes m-c was here....19:43
ArcI have a feeling he's avoiding this meeting based on our experiences with him19:43
boredandbloggingare there members from the Japan team here?19:44
jkbysyes19:44
shibatayes19:44
persiayes19:44
jkbysI'm Japanese Team contact19:44

boredandbloggingin the meantime, lets do Japan?19:44
Arcagreed, I'll try to call him as well19:44
popeym-c has had 44 mins to be fair19:44
boredandbloggingpopey: true19:45
boredandbloggingLets do Japan19:45
popeyhowever it's a short notice meeting agenda item19:45
popeyyes, japan first19:45
JanCmaybe somebody can contact m-c directly (phone, SMS, IM, mail, ...) to ask him to come?19:47
popey1344 members on your list is pretty impressive19:47
boredandbloggingdoes the Japan Team meet physically?19:47
juliuxdo you have any numbers how many people use your remix desktop cds?19:47
ArcI have his cellphone #, if someone else would like to call him19:47
jkbysWe meet about 3 times per year19:48
jkbysjulux, we don't know strict numbers, but thousands of people user our remix cds19:49
popeyjkbys: do you know if many people use your remix CDs?19:49
popeyheh19:49
popeysorry :)19:49
boredandbloggingwill Japan be participating in SFD?19:49
JanCI think the project to handle Japanese language bug reports is cool19:50
jkbysboredandblogging, no19:50
boredandbloggingjkbys: can you explain the LoCo Membership process19:51
popeyArc: give me his number19:51
popeyvia prv19:51
effie_jayxjkbys,  how do you foster more participation in events?19:51
jkbysboredandblogging, self introducing and explain their contribution for ubuntu on IRC meeting, and agreed with 2 or more current members19:52
juliuxi am happy to reapprove the japan team19:53
juliux+119:53
JanCyeah, +1 from me too19:53
popey+1 too19:53
boredandbloggingjkbys: to be a member of the Japan team, an individual has to go through a membership process?19:53
jkbyseffie_jayx, announce on web and ML and call help19:53
jkbysboredandblogging, yes19:54
popeyi get voicemail from m-c19:54
Arcsame here19:54
effie_jayxpopey,  leave a message ... ;)19:54
boredandbloggingjkbys: do many individuals apply?19:55
effie_jayxjkbys,  any projects for the team ? or plans are only offering the services you already have19:55
boredandbloggingwhat is the benefit of having that membership?19:55
jkbysboredandblogging, no at the current19:56
persiaboredandblogging: One of the large benefits of the Japanese Team membership process is a sense of belonging.19:57
persiaMany people visit the IRC channel, forums, mailing lists, etc.  Many of these are helpful.19:57
JanCboredandblogging: what's the benefit of being an Ubuntu Member?  ;)19:57
popeyJanC: ponies!19:58
jkbyseffie_jayx, we have plan to switch country mirror server to more stable one19:58
persiaThose who are wish are able to call themselves members of the team, which helps provide team identity.19:58
boredandbloggingpersia: understood19:58
persiaThe requirements are fairly light: the prospective member must wish to join, and two existing members must agree.  It is expected that the process will become lighter as the team grows.19:59
JanCpersia: but non-Members are allowed to do the same things as Members ?19:59
persiaJanC: Yes.  Non-members are permitted to do everything except say "I am a member of the team" or vote for new members of the team.  All members are expected to attend the meetings, non-members may do so if they wish.19:59
juliuxboredandblogging: effie_jayx votes?20:00
effie_jayxI would advise a bit of direction in terms of future plans20:01
boredandblogginglooks like they are doing work, +1 from me20:01
effie_jayxI can see the great efforts to maintaing the services for members, but I also consider more participation in events and stablishing some projects miht help there20:02
effie_jayxso my vote is +1 with those comments20:02
popeywell done20:03
boredandbloggingkeep up the good work Japan!20:03

employeeno5present from NH20:04
Arcditto20:05
nikkianaditto20:05
juliuxnext one greek team?20:05
popeylets get nh done20:06
effie_jayxnh is up then20:06
Arcemployeeno5 is online from work, so he may not be available later20:06
popeyso in summary you have ..20:06
employeeno5i'm doing ok for now, but don't be surprised if i'm suddenly non-responsive due to phone call or some such20:06
popey* Concerns about an authoritarian leader20:06
popey* Lack of communication between new people and the existing team due to blockade by m-c20:07
nealmcbperhaps a quick decision on approving some additional leaders for nh would be the most appropriate thing at this point20:07
popey* no mailing list20:07
nealmcband having a discussion on m-c can wait until he has more than a day's notice of a meeting like this20:07
popeynealmcb: lets see what the problems are first20:07
popeywhat other issues are there?20:07
Arcnealmcb: he did reply to the email about this meeting, so he is aware of it.20:07
employeeno5that's a fair summary. one person is the contact point and they're being selective about who they contact20:08
Arcthat he has avoided or shot down attempts to resolve this locally20:08
popey* Leader unwilling to take on board new ideas from members20:09
popeywould that be fair to say?20:09
employeeno5indeed20:09
Arcyes.20:09
nikkianayes20:09
pleia2I'm from the US Mentors team and have worked with m-c since before he moved to NH, I've tried very hard to work with him to nudge him in the right direction, but finally gave up and brought the issue to other Mentors20:09
Arcif a person signs up on launchpad or expressed interest in person, and they are not interested in what he's envisioned for the group, they're turned away20:09
employeeno5as well as blocking new membership by his own sole disceition20:09
effie_jayxthe mailing list episode is an example of "I think this is the best for the team" and not consulting20:10
popeyI will say now that I have had a run in with m-c (as desertc) before when he attempted to stifle my opinion/contribution, so I _do_ understand your problem20:10
pleia2he's also banned at least one member from the #ubuntu-us-nh channel20:10
pleia2s/member/mentor20:10
effie_jayxpleia2,  he banned a mentor?20:10
Archis vision is a small "action" group doing tabling at events, which certainly has a place within the LoCo, but his actions have made this to the exclusion of everything else20:11
pleia2effie_jayx: yes, banned nealmcb20:11
popeyArc: did he know that the loco-council were aware of this meeting?20:11
JanCpleia2: who was that and is this mentor here?20:11
employeeno5i had stood outside of this conflict until recently so made an honest a attempt and meeting him half-way on these issues20:11
JanCah, right20:11
pleia2I left of my own accord before he could ban me20:11
effie_jayxpleia2,  their mailing list is still down?20:11
Arcpopey: we emailed him last night, Nikki and myself.  we offered to withdraw this agenda item if he complied with the decisions made at the last meeting by the group and started working with us to resolve this20:11
popeyeffie_jayx: it's disabled20:11
pleia2effie_jayx: correct20:11
Arche replied to that email, confirming that he received it20:11
nealmcbthe issue seems mainly to be what he doen't do, not what he does. beyond getting unbanned myself (which is not really important from the team's perspective), I think at this point just opening up launchpad, mailing list, irc admin etc to others who want to participate is what would help20:11
effie_jayxI find this wrong. he cannot decide who he wants peple to participate20:12
popeyindeed20:12
boredandbloggingagreed20:12
Arcjcastro has approved our mailing list, based on the group's decision at our last meeting, so that one issue should be taken care of20:12
effie_jayxhow sorry20:12
nealmcbarc great20:12
Arcit's also what he does do, too.20:13
effie_jayxI believe we should "encourage" him to open the mailing list and delegate it to someone more mailing list oriented20:13
pleia2I will say he's fantastic at driving advocacy himself and is very committed, he's just not very inclusive, and has resisted all attempts for it20:13
JanCeffie_jayx: good idea20:13
popeyi dont think you need to do that effie_jayx20:13
popeyit's not the leaders role to unilaterally decide what resources the loco will have20:13
Arche's fostered a negative atmosphere that discourages participation, including talking about people (both loco members and members of the local LUG) behind their backs20:13
popeyif a member wants a mailing list, they should be able to create one20:13
popeyif a member wants a forum, they should be able to create that too20:13
Arche's also introduced the LoCo to each of us, during his "screening" process, as his own personal group.20:14
popeythe leader is (in my mind) more of a point of contact and a mentor than a dictator^WLeader20:14
nealmcbI have lots of input on this, but don't think it best to talk about him when he's not here.  "route around him" for now, and deal with future behavior and other issues when he's around20:14
boredandbloggingpopey: exactly20:14
popeyi disagree nealmcb20:14
popeywe should not be routing around issues, but dealing with them20:14
juliuxi think it is unfair to talk about a person if the person is not here20:15
effie_jayxpopey,  do you agree that the mailing list should be opened as it offers members a chance to share ?20:15
popeyif he chooses not to be here, then that's his choice20:15
JanCand he can reply in a later meeting if he wants20:15
juliuxso lets recall that at the next meeting20:15
popeyeffie_jayx: yes,20:15
Arcwe have been routing around him to some extent, in creating an Ubuntu SIG with the local LUG (which has numerous chapters and 2 SIGs already)20:15
JanCpopey: we can't know if he didn't have anything else planned20:15
popeyi propose an email based conversation with him from the loco-council, if nothing happens in a reasonable time, we pass it to the CC promptly20:15
popeyJanC: he could have mailed20:15
Arcthe idea with that was to "route around" his filtering of new people, so we could build a user community20:16
popeyArc: i dont believe thats the way forward20:16
popeywe should not be routing round badness in our community, we should improve or remove it20:16
JanCpopey: that would have been better behaviour, yes  ;)20:16
Arcit was pragmatic given the amount of time we've invested in trying to resolve this20:16
effie_jayxpopey,  I agree, but there is a tendency to play fool here20:16
popeyi would recommend that we contact m-c and give him until the next cc meet (5th Aug) to sort it20:17
popeythat's plenty of time20:17
popeyimagine us-nh was coming up for team approval, would you approve it based on the current state of affairs?20:17
popeyif not we would recommend a way forward. which is what I propse, we recommend a way forward for m-c and the team as a whole20:18
popeythis may result in m-c getting improved or removed20:18
Arccan I ask in the meantime that we have some council intervention with the launchpad in assuring that new members are no longer filtered?20:18
JanCI think we can route around him until he has given his view (he can answer by mail to our list if he prefers), and yes 5th August sounds like a reasonable deadline for that20:19
Arcwe did decide unanimously at our last meeting to do this.20:19
popeyArc: to do that would mean that we dont give him the chance20:19
nealmcbwell, as long as m-c isn't able to block progress, and continues to do other good stuff (from what I've heard), I wouldn't hold one idiosyncratic member against the team....20:19
nealmcbbut yes - main thing is to get another launchpad admin, another irc admin, a mailing list, etc20:19
effie_jayxI would also suggest forming a small group that can help assure this does not happen again. having a CC like figure helps20:20
popeyi don't think we should route round by adding new admins without speaking to him first20:20
effie_jayxpopey,  I agree20:20
boredandbloggingby adding the admins, we are almost saying we have taken a certain view without discussing with m-c20:20
popeyyes20:20
nealmcbanother == an additional admin20:20
popeythat is what i understood you to mean nealmcb20:21
popeyand my position stands20:21
pleia2effie_jayx: I think the role you're looknig for is already filled by the US Mentors team - we brought it here since we have no real "teeth" so to speak and m-c has rejected (banned!) our intervention20:21
nealmcbwith tennessee we did the same thing, and helped m-c (desertc) revive a team where the admin was out of touch20:21
effie_jayxpleia2, I see.20:21
nealmcbwithout sanctioning the out-of-touch admin20:21
Arcso you're saying that the decisions made by the group are moot?20:21
popeyno20:21
popeybut you asked us to help20:21
Arcwe did decide unanimously to add Nikki as admin, enable the mailing list, and stop member screening20:22
popeywe aren't here to action your meeting minutes without question20:22
popeyArc: so do that20:22
popeywhat do you need us for if you have decided to do that?20:22
effie_jayxpopey,  can we draw a timeline for things, I think that would ease the worries on the nh team members20:22
effie_jayx?20:22
boredandbloggingpopey: they can't, only m-c has access20:22
popeyboredandblogging: they can, they can ask jorge to do it20:23
Arcpopey: m-c has exclusive admin access to launchpad.20:23
popeyeffie_jayx: yes20:23
boredandbloggingright, jorge can do the lists20:23
Arcok so we just have to contact jorge?20:23
nealmcbI think all teams should have multiple admins for each function - otherwise blockage is too common20:23
popeyArc: that depends20:23
employeeno5i agree that this requires full legitmacy.  if that requires m-c's participation we should wait. however, please understand he may avoid or deny the problem and in the meantime, all LoCo meetings are being held without his participation (by this choosing)20:23
popeyif he denys or avoids then it goes to the cc, period.20:23
boredandbloggingif he avoids, then its pretty easy20:23
nealmcbin tennessee, the previous team leader ignored contacts, two new leaders volunteered and were put in place in parallel, and things improved from there20:24
popeyi appreciate that the nh team have taken a decision to work around m-c, but in the interest of keeping a team together and potentially working this issue out, I'd like us to at least be allowed to try to "fix" it before you do what you agreed to do20:25
nealmcband later the team leader reappeared a little bit20:25
employeeno5i'm sorry, i meant "by his choosing" not "this choosing"20:25
popeynealmcb: i am not saying don't add admins, I am saying don't do it _right_ _now_. Let us try to mediate and resolve this.20:25
popey_then_ add the admins once we have m-c's attention20:25
popeyif he refuses -> CC20:26
effie_jayxmakes sense20:26
boredandbloggingthe fundamental issue is m-c20:26
nealmcbpopey: why not have multiple admins?  are we worried that this is a coup?20:26
popeyto some degree20:26
* nealmcb doubts that 5 active nh folks are staging a coup :)20:26
nealmcbI've been in touch with this for 3 weeks now, and it doesn't sound like a coup to me20:27
nealmcband if it was, what would the risk be?20:27
effie_jayxI agree with popey, I thik we must wait until he is fuly aware of what is going on.20:27
pleia2popey: how do you suggest they move on from here? talk to jcastro about a mailing list, and you folks on the loco-council talk with m-c about launchpad admins and screening?20:27
JanCnealmcb: at least this way it's obvious that this isn't a coup against the will of the team20:27
boredandbloggingis there a risk in waiting two weeks to flush this out?20:27
Arcboredandblogging: energy.20:28
* nealmcb nods20:28
popeyboredandblogging: it probably wouldnt take that long20:28
nealmcband trust it our ability to trust folks20:28
Arcwe've invested a lot of time and energy into this already, quite frankly it's exhasting20:28
popeyi am not saying wait till 5th aug at all20:28
effie_jayxI think this is a delicate matter that must not be dealt with in haste20:28
popeywe can start contact with m-c today20:28
popeygive him until the weekend to respond.20:29
boredandbloggingagree with effie_jayx and popey20:29
Arcthat sounds reasonable20:29
pleia2sounds good20:29
effie_jayxgood .. timeline. that clears it20:29
popeyi appreciate that it's been going on for a long time for you guys (and girls) but you brought it up with us to get help, so either you want us to help (by negotiating) or you just want us to say "yeah, go ahead, add more admin" in which case what have we helped you with?20:29

popeywe can give you guys a status update by the weekend okay?20:31
effie_jayxpopey,  about the mailing list, it was pleia2 question. should it be reactivated or wait for response from m-c and then reactivation20:31
employeeno5thanks for your time and advice20:31
Arcjcastro has already approved it20:31
popeypersonally i think anyone should be able to setup a mailing list for a team20:31
JanCBTW: is there a public log of the meeting where things were decided?20:31
popeyI don't think that's the leaders role20:31
pleia2JanC: real life meeting, there are minutes prepared20:31
ArcJanC: yes minutes were taken and posted20:32
effie_jayxpopey,  great then20:32
effie_jayxanother thing...20:32
effie_jayxpleia2,  would you reconsider working with this team?20:32
pleia2effie_jayx: absolutely20:32
popeythat would help pleia220:32
popeygreat!20:32
pleia2:)20:32
effie_jayxfantastic.20:32
pleia2plus, I have family in NH, I should visit ;)20:33
popeyheh20:33
popeygreat excuse20:33
popey"I'm just popping out"20:33
nealmcbI think there are lots of ways teams get help "facilitating" things with difficult people - pleia2 and I have done that for nearly a month.  I think this is the only body that can make the *policy* decision that admins need to be overridden.20:33
pleia2hehe20:33
Arcwe'd love to have you come to our august meeting :-)20:33
effie_jayxpleia2,  great to have you on the situation again20:33
popeynealmcb: we could, yes, but I would rather not, not now20:33
nealmcbsure20:33
effie_jayxpopey,  set then?20:34
nealmcbI was just responding to your question20:34
popeyah, ok20:34
JanCwe just give him a chance to answer/defend himself20:34
popeyshall i draft a mail to loco-council, you council members review and then we send?20:34
effie_jayxJanC,  just a plain response20:34
effie_jayxpopey,  I shall be holding on for it...20:34
boredandbloggingpopey: and CC all the NH members involved?20:34
popeyheh20:34
nealmcbI guess my main question is about our vision of leadership20:34
boredandbloggingpopey: i mean when its sent out to m-c20:35
popeyboredandblogging: i wouldn't20:35
nealmcbdo we expect a single leader, or lots of folks sharing contact and admin authority20:35
effie_jayxnealmcb,  we just have to refer to the leadership code of conduct and we have enough to deal with20:35
popeypersonally nealmcb I like to see "all hands to the pump"20:35
popeybut with one or two "contact" people who are "go to guys (or gals)"20:35
nealmcbso adding new folks to leadership roles isn't a big deal, especially when there is good evidence of blockage20:36
popeynot if everyone is in agreement, no20:36
nealmcbanyway, sounds like it won't be long before things are resolved20:37
popeyyeah, I'm sure it wont20:37
effie_jayxnealmcb,  I am glad you see it that way20:37
Arcthanks for tackling this popey20:37
effie_jayxboredandblogging,  thougts?20:37
popeyif by the weekend this isn't resolved, we can mail the cc to get a faster decision20:37
popeyno worries Arc20:37
nealmcbarc, employeeno5, nikkiana - does that work for you?20:37
boredandbloggingi understand the frustration...20:37
popeyyeah20:37
popeyit can'20:37
boredandbloggingbut I want to hear from m-c before doing anything20:37
Arcif it's just until this weekend, it's fine with me20:38
popeyit can't be pleasant for you guys20:38
ArcI just want to minimise further damage with rejected/pending members20:38
effie_jayxwe are all set then20:38
employeeno5yes.20:38
nealmcbwhy involve the cc? - decision to do what?20:38
popeyhmm, didn't come out how i meant20:38
JanCCC --> ubuntu membership20:39
popeyif this all kicks off, and it goes horribly badly wrong20:39
boredandbloggingyes, m-c is an ubuntu member20:39
popeywe can get membership revoked, launchpad accounts removed20:39
popeyetc20:39
popeybut thats not something we should be considering right now20:39
popeybut if we did, it would be up to the cc20:39
nealmcbgood20:39
nealmcbgot it20:39
effie_jayxok...20:39
nealmcband not without the person being present...20:39
boredandbloggingnealmcb: exactly20:40
popeyit's amazing how a mail from mark can make people respond :)20:40
* nealmcb wants m-c to continue to contribute in the cool ways he does20:40
popey*exactly*20:40
Arcditto20:40
Arcso long as it's not in exclusion of other things people are interested in the LoCo for20:40
Arche does have a lot of energy and interest, and there's certainly a place in the team for what he wants to do20:41
employeeno5It's true that he's still out there doing promotion. He's just doing it with out informing the group or inviting only select members through private emails. He's invited to hand out cd's at a trade show next weekend.20:41
boredandbloggingok, so we have consensus on what to do?20:42
employeeno5I will agree to what the group/advisors feel is appropriate. I just want to make sure it's being addressed on some level20:43
nealmcbso e.g. I'm banned from the irc channel #ubuntu-us-nh now (shocking to me...) - should I take that up separately with #ubuntu-ops?20:43
boredandbloggingpopey will send out an email to m-c and m-c needs to reply by this weekend20:43
boredandbloggingnealmcb: they'll probably look into why20:44
nealmcbare any of the other current nh-folks interested in being an op in that channel?20:44
magicrobotmonkeyi am one20:44
JanCnealmcb: I suggest you wait until after the weekend too20:45
nealmcbboredandblogging: it seems to be for asking about decision making processes :)20:45
popeyheh, there's your unban done then nealmcb :)20:45
Arcmagicrobotmonkey: can you unban nealmcb?20:45
magicrobotmonkeyprobably, but i dont know why he was banned, ill talk to him20:45
nealmcb...nicely...20:45
nealmcbI can send a transcript20:45
boredandbloggingnealmcb: i would suggest you wait a few more days20:45
employeeno5boredandblogging, The email plan from Popey sounds fine to me (if you're looking for concensus from NH members).20:46
nealmcbno problem20:46
nealmcb(to wait)20:46
magicrobotmonkeyyea, id rather not do anything to make anyone too angry20:46
nealmcbmagicrobotmonkey: yeah20:46

vojtech_tmaybe some "small" plans for near future -- like translating Full Circle Magazine, or make czech screencasts20:55
boredandbloggingvojtech_t: what are the plans for 2009?20:55
vojtech_twe began cooperation with Liberix -- http://liberix.cz/os_en_charakteristika.php -- non-profit OSS association -- we have some plans with grants from Europian Eunion20:56

vojtech_tYes, we have some plans, but there are many problems with czech law, taxes etc.21:02
KingskidBeside big EU plans we'd like to install Ubuntu in some elementary or high school as a showcase21:03
JanCEU grants are for concrete projects?21:03
vojtech_tEU: Liberix has expiriences and they told us its not so difficult to get grant for support OSS21:04
vojtech_tI'm not lawyer, but it looks practicable...21:04
JanCyou can get a grant for specific projects, which requires a lot of paperwork both before & after, are you prepared to do that work?  ツ21:05
Kingskidhttp://domeknavsi.blogspot.com/2008/02/pozdrav-pr-statistik.html21:05
KingskidSoryy, wrong window21:05
juliuxvojtech_t: how many people are coming to your real life meetings?21:06
vojtech_tyes, I know... I have two books about this (500 pages together) so I know its bureaucracy...21:06
vojtech_tjuliux: unfortunately not21:06
=== evalles_ is now known as effie_jayx
juliuxvojtech_t: so there are no meetings?21:07
Kingskidwe have meetings, usually 4-6 poeple come21:07

Kingskidbut we had only couple meetings so far21:08
juliuxok21:09
vojtech_tlast meeting was 31.5. -- four people came...21:09
effie_jayxvojtech_t,  where would you consider to be most active?21:10
JanCwhy not on-line meetings (maybe there are more people then?)21:10
vojtech_teffie_jayx: I mean community support.21:11
effie_jayxvojtech_t,  any advocacy work or projects brewing?21:12
vojtech_tJanC: it's crazy but not -- we had some and many people had problems with that...21:12
vojtech_teffie_jayx: yes, but you asked for "most active"21:14
juliuxvojtech_t: i have some problems to say +1 on your reapproval, i miss some documentation about your activity, your plans about the future and where some new people can join te loco21:14
juliuxcan you perhaps work on that?21:14
effie_jayxvojtech_t,  sorry, my question may not have come in the right way. I meant do you have any advocacy work you can consider significant or any prjects worth mentioning?21:15
effie_jayxok... can we vote on this guys?21:16

TuniX12oO21:21
vojtech_tyes, you're right, we've little bit underestimate the preparation for this meeting21:22
vojtech_tthere are problems with document our work -- everything is in Czech, so it useless for english speaking people...21:23
boredandbloggingvojtech_t: at least the links would be good21:23
effie_jayxvojtech_t,  we can futher assist you guys should you need any help ?21:23
juliuxvojtech_t: if you need help you can always contact the loco council21:23
