loolmvo: Can't think of a reason not to build-dep on rarian-compat instead of scrollkeeper -- as long as the results are compatible with both implementations12:03
loolBoth are in main12:03

ArneGoetjeok16:01
Keybukindeed16:01
Keybukwhere's Ken?16:01
pittihttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2008-11-1116:01
pittipretty boilerplate, too16:01
pittiKeybuk: is he still officially desktop team?16:01
Keybukyes16:01
Keybukthis is Ken and MPT's last week16:01
pittipinged16:02
pittiRiddell: there?16:02
pittilet's start with the outstanding actions16:02
pitti * Martin to upload current PPA langpacks to hardy/intrepid-proposed16:03
pittiI actually did that, but removed them again, since they were still incomplete16:03
Riddellhi16:03
pittiI fixed langpack-o-matic to not produce broken KDE translations instead16:03
pittiand ArneGoetje is producing new packages as we speak, this time with complete KDE imports16:03
pittiso "delayed, but on track now"16:03
Riddellanything I can test?16:03
pittiPPA in a few hours, I suppose16:04
pitti *     * Jonathan to track down who is working on bug #290695, set assignee, and clarify status16:04
ubottuLaunchpad bug 290695 in adeptmgr "Adept allows editing filenames in Details view" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/29069516:04
Riddellturned out nobody was working on it16:05
RiddellI should probably assign to myself16:05
pittiRiddell: it doesn't really seem an RC bug to me; WDYT?16:05
pittimore like a cosmetical issue16:05
Riddellwell it could do something nasty if you click on the field and accidently rename an important file, but it's not a security issue (you have to be root anyway for adept)16:06
pittiRiddell: so please feel free to drop the intrepid-updates milestone if it's not urgent16:06
pittiRiddell: oh, it's not just an UI glitch, you can actually rename the desktop files?16:06
Riddellrename the filesystem files16:06
pittierg16:07
Riddella built in feature of the widget being used that is not quite appropriate here16:07
pittiok, I nominated for intrepid/jaunty16:07
RiddellI'll take a look at it for next week16:07
pittilet's hope that it's just a simple property change then :)16:07
pittiok, thanks for the heads-up16:07
Riddellshould be yes16:07
pittimerges seem to go well16:08
pittiintrepid-updates SRUs seem to stall a bit16:08
pittibut discussing that, and preparation of UDS/jaunty goals doesn't really make sense with just half of the team IMHO16:09
pittianything on anybody's mind which we should discuss today?16:09
ArneGoetjenot from me16:09
Riddellwhere's Ken going?16:09
pittiKeybuk: ^ ?16:11
KeybukKen and Michael will be moving to the new Visual/Creative Design team16:11
Keybukthat will be on Monday next week, so this is their last meeting with us16:11
pittiITYM "Matthew"16:11
KeybukI do mean Matthew16:11
Keybuksorry MPT :)16:11
Riddellsounds exciting16:11
Keybukand I guess now is as good a time as any16:11
Keybuknext week will be my last meeting with you16:11
Riddellaww16:12
KeybukI head off on leave, and when I return (for UDS), my replacement will be already on board16:12
Keybukwe're throwing him somewhat into the deep end, as he starts, heads straight to the DX sprint, FOSScamp and then UDS16:12
pittiKeybuk: which city is it this time?16:12
Keybukpitti: leave?  San Francisco16:13
pittiKeybuk: oh, Rick will be on the DX sprint, too?16:13
Keybukpitti: apparently so16:13
pittiKeybuk: ah, so you arrive *very* early :)16:13
pittiKeybuk: don't forget about the flower16:13
Riddellwhat's the DX sprint?16:13
KeybukRiddell: Desktop Experience tam16:13
Keybukteam, even16:13
pittiRiddell: desktop experience team16:13
Keybukso as Martin says, the new guy's name is Rick16:14
Keybukif you'd like to know more, ask me in private - since until he joins, it's not really appropriate to talk about him in public :-)16:15
pittioh, sorry16:15
Keybukpitti: I don't think his first name constitutes much, I was more thinking in terms of who he is, etc.16:15
Keybuk(that's it from me :p)16:17
pittiAOB?16:17
ArneGoetjenot from me16:17
pittiokthxhappymergingbye16:18
pittioh, just one thing16:18
pittiwhen you have a quiet moment, please collect some ideas about what you'd like to work on for jaunty16:19
pittiI think we should discuss UDS prep at length next week16:19
pittiwhile Keybuk is still there to provide some input as well :)16:19
Keybukkwwii: you missed it16:25
kwwiiKeybuk: sorry, I was at the store getting groceries, didn't notice the time16:26
kwwiimust have been a quick one16:26
Keybukit was16:26
kwwiidid I miss anything important?16:26
pittisending the notes to u-desktop@ now16:27
pittikwwii: not really, half of the team is on holiday anyway16:27
kwwiicool16:27
kwwiisorry for missing it, I didn't forget the meeting, just what time it was16:27
rlaagerpitti: Given you mentioned UDS... is anyone revisiting the replacing-Pidgin-with-Empathy idea for Jaunty?16:32
pittirlaager: it's on my discussion list16:33
rlaagerpitti: Okay. I'm certainly interested in providing whatever useful input I can. I'm an upstream Pidgin developer and will be at UDS this year. If you guys are going to switch to Empathy, I'm not going to fight it, because 1) I can easily install Pidgin anyway, and 2) I'm hoping that one day Empathy will be as good or better. Ground-up rewrites provide a lot of opportunity for fixing things. :)16:39
mptKeybuk, sorry, I was busy with super sekrit discussions16:39
pittirlaager: ah, looking forward to meeting you there16:40
pittigetting feedback from upstreams is one of the main reasons why we have UDSes in the first place :)16:41
rlaagerpitti: Officially, my employer is sending me (and another co-worker). So, we're also looking to do a week of bug squashing. So, hopefully my list of reported bugs will get smaller rather than bigger, at least for a week. ;)16:41
