mathiazwelcome to the Server Team meeting!16:01
mathiazstarring... well a lot of interesting people! :)16:01
nijabao/16:01
mathiaztoday's agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Meeting16:02
mathiazwe've got plenty of things to cover this week!16:02
ScottK-laptopmathiaz: Did you get my ping about going first?16:02
ScottK-laptopI can make it quick.16:02
mathiazScottK-laptop: hm - I didn't get your ping16:02
ScottK-laptopI've only got about 20 minutes and then I need to go.16:03
mathiazScottK-laptop: oh ok.16:03
mathiaz[TOPIC] KDE mysql needs for Jaunty16:03
MootBotNew Topic:  KDE mysql needs for Jaunty16:03
ScottK-laptopKDE has two major packages that use mysql.16:03
ScottK-laptopakonadi and amarok.16:04
ScottK-laptopJontheEchidna is here also from the Kubuntu team to help me discuss16:04
JontheEchidna\o16:04
mathiazScottK-laptop: right - I ran into akonadi when I developer the apparmor profile16:04
mathiazScottK-laptop: I had some dicussion with the upstream devs about it also.16:04
ScottK-laptopGood.16:05
mathiazScottK-laptop: IIRC you introduced me to them16:05
ScottK-laptopI wanted to coordinate early to ensure that our mysql packages work with akonadi so we don't have code copies.16:05
mathiazScottK-laptop: IIRC the current situation is that akonadi starts its own mysql process16:05
ScottK-laptopRight.16:05
ScottK-laptophttp://paste.ubuntu.com:80/79351/ has some background.16:05
MootBotLINK received:  http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/79351/ has some background.16:05
ScottK-laptopJontheEchidna: Jump in any time.16:06
JontheEchidnaok, heh16:06
JontheEchidnaAmarok uses mysqle for music collection management16:06
JontheEchidnaI think for that we just basically need to ensure that we have mysql 5.1 for jaunty16:06
JontheEchidnaand it looks like that's on the agenda ;-)16:06
mathiazJontheEchidna: right - zul and I have been looking into that16:06
zulheh we were just talking about that16:06
mathiazthe issue we have for now is that mysql 5.1 doesn't build on jaunty16:07
mathiazor even 5.016:07
ScottK-laptopOne issue I see with amarok is that any time we do post-release updates on mysql, amarok might need rebuilding to get the benifit of the update.16:07
ScottK-laptopGiven that amarok is using the embedded approach, I don't think that's avoidable.16:07
mathiazScottK-laptop: IIUC amarok uses the embedded mysql library that comes with 5.116:08
ScottK-laptopYes.16:08
ScottK-laptopThat's why it needs 5.1.16:08
zulwell once we get mysql to build then I dont see a problem with it16:08
mathiazScottK-laptop: ok - what would be the consequence of not packaging 5.1 in jaunty?16:09
ScottK-laptopSo I think somewhere it needs to be written down "If you do a security update of mysql, rebuild amarok against it for Jaunty and follow"16:09
ScottK-laptopWe need 5.1 in some form for amarok2 (which is the KDE4 version).16:09
JontheEchidnamathiaz: If we don't package 5.1 apachelogger sez that there's a set of two patches we can use to make it work with amarok16:09
mathiazScottK-laptop: the reason I ask this is because there has been a blog post on planet.mysql.com stating the 5.1 wasn't ready for production16:09
mathiazJontheEchidna: patches for 5.0?16:10
ScottK-laptopSo either it's packaged by the distro, it's stuffed inside the amarok package, or we're stuck on the KDE3 version again (this is a very bad thing).16:10
JontheEchidnaI would assume so16:10
mathiazJontheEchidna: IIUC amarok requires mysql embeded and 5.0 doesn't have support for embededd.16:10
ScottK-laptopJontheEchidna: That note he left is about patches to 5.1.16:10
JontheEchidnaoh16:10
JontheEchidnanevermind then16:10
ScottK-laptopWell amarok2 is at RC stage using it.16:10
ScottK-laptopSo it must be at least ok'ish.16:11
ScottK-laptopPart of the trick here is that amarok is in Main, so this would need to be in Main.16:11
mathiazScottK-laptop: right - I don't a personal opinion about the state of 5.1 - I've just been watching the MySQL community16:12
mathiazI don't *have*16:12
ScottK-laptopOne way or another we'll need 5.1.16:12
* ScottK-laptop nods.16:12
JontheEchidnaWe did package our own mysql bits for a PPA containing amarok2, so that's a possibility16:12
ScottK-laptopRight.  That's what we'd like to avoid.16:12
ScottK-laptopWho is working on mysql for server team?16:12
mathiazyeah - packaging mysql 5.1 in amarok would make the security team cry16:12
mathiazScottK-laptop: zul and me mainly16:13
* jdstrand sniffles16:13
zulis this embeded stuff jut a library?16:13
JontheEchidnazul: libmysql is all that's needed at build time16:13
mathiazzul: yeah - it was in 4.0 or 4.1 IIRC16:13
mathiazzul: but 5.0 doesn't ship it.16:13
ScottK-laptopJontheEchidna: Maybe you could coordinate with them to pass on what you did in the PPA so they have the advantage of that work.16:13
mathiazso it seems we have one application in main that requires 5.116:13
ScottK-laptopYes.16:13
jdstrandso 5.1 isn't considered ready for production by mysql themselves?16:13
JontheEchidnabrb16:14
mathiazjdstrand: it is now.16:14
zulcouldnt we jut promote the library and keep everything else in universe for 5.1 if we decide that 5.1 is not stable enough16:14
mathiazjdstrand: 5.1.30 has been declare GA16:14
mathiazjdstrand: Nov 27th16:14
ScottK-laptopzul: presumably.16:14
jdstrandmathiaz: so our plan is to move to 5.1 whole hog and drop 5.0 support in jaunty?16:14
jdstrandor support both?16:14
mathiazjdstrand: that would be one option16:14
zulicky..16:15
mathiazjdstrand: I'd go for 5.1 in main and 5.0 in universe16:15
jdstrandmathiaz: that seems reasonable to me16:15
mathiazjdstrand: the same way we have 4.1 in universe16:15
ScottK-laptopDoes mysql support multiple versions alongside like postgresql does (I'm more familiar with that)?16:15
mathiazhowever moving 5.1 in main means we'd have to take of the library transition16:15
jdstrandI don't want to be supporting two separate releases in main if at all possible16:15
mathiazScottK-laptop: AFAICT no16:16
zulit doesnt16:16
JontheEchidnaScottK-laptop: we have the packaging in a bzr branch, so it should be fairly easy to share16:16
ScottK-laptopAny standard Kubuntu install will use akonadi and amarok both.16:16
mathiazJontheEchidna: are you running the test suite during the build?16:16
ScottK-laptopSo it sounds like akonadi will have to migrate to 5.1 too then to be co-installable.16:16
JontheEchidnamathiaz: I don't know (I've only done updates to the packaging), apachelogger probably would though16:17
JontheEchidna...but he's not here :(16:17
zulis it somewhere now?16:17
mathiazthe main issue now is that the test suite fails.16:18
ScottK-laptopzul: Am I correct then that since amarok needs 5.1 and it needs to be co-installable with akonadi, that akonadi also needs to use 5.1?16:18
mathiazScottK-laptop: yes - that's a reasonable assumption.16:18
JontheEchidnaoh, maybe he doesn't have it in a bzr branch...16:18
mathiazScottK-laptop: we could try to support both libmysql 5.0 and 5.1 in main16:19
ScottK-laptopmathiaz: OK, so it sounds like Kubuntu pretty well HAS to get 5.1 then.16:19
mathiazbut that means the security would have to support two version of mysql16:19
ScottK-laptopOnce it's akonadi it's more than just the lib.16:19
mathiazOk - so to summarize16:20
mathiazit seems we have a compeling use case to get 5.1 in jaunty16:20
mathiazzul and I have already been looking into merging 5.1 from experimental16:20
ScottK-laptopAmarok2 will be one of Kubuntu's marquee features for Jaunty, so we REALLY need it.16:20
* JontheEchidna would cry if we had to include JuK16:21
mathiazzul: could you look into the library transition?16:21
mathiazzul: ie have list of package that would need to be rebuild?16:21
zulmathiaz: yeah I could16:21
mathiaz[ACTION] zul to document the library transition requirement for mysql 5.116:22
MootBotACTION received:  zul to document the library transition requirement for mysql 5.116:22
mathiazI'll try to get some input on the test failure while working on the 5.1 merge16:22
ScottK-laptopmathiaz: How about some action to look into security team's position on supporting two versions in Main.16:22
mathiaz[ACTION] mathiaz to look into test build failures of mysql 5.116:22
MootBotACTION received:  mathiaz to look into test build failures of mysql 5.116:22
mathiazScottK-laptop: well - jdstrand already expressed his view16:23
ScottK-laptopmathiaz: He didn't say no.16:23
mathiazScottK-laptop: they rarely say no... they always express concerns ;)16:23
zoopster1are there any lp entries that I can get mysql engineers to look at to help the cause? I have a bi-montlhy call with a mysql liason16:23
jdstrandI am confident in expressing that we do not want to do that if at all possible16:23
ScottK-laptopjdstrand: ;-)16:24
ScottK-laptopzoopster1: When's the next call?16:24
mathiazScottK-laptop: having only 5.1 in main mean that akonadi should support 5.116:24
jdstrandit is a very strong-- "please, please don't"16:24
jdstrand:)16:24
ScottK-laptopmathiaz: Having 5.0/5.1 not coinstallable means akonadi needs to be 5.116:24
mathiazScottK-laptop: however I don't see why akonadi wouldn't work with 5.1 since it starts it's own mysql process16:25
mathiazScottK-laptop: IIUC akonadi doesn't use a library16:25
ScottK-laptopAgreed, to the extent 5.1 is stable, reliable, etc.16:25
zoopster1thurs 1:30 et16:25
mathiazScottK-laptop: so it just uses SQL16:25
ScottK-laptopmathiaz: Well there's your deadline to get some help ^^^16:25
ScottK-laptopAkonadi carries user critical data, so it has to be reliable.16:26
mathiazzoopster1: I'll get in touch with you if I ran into issues.16:26
mathiazok - let's move on.16:26
ScottK-laptopmathiaz: How about an action to let Kubuntu developers know when 5.1 hits the archive and one for us to update akonadi to 5.1.16:26
ScottK-laptopOK.  Thanks.16:27
ScottK-laptopJontheEchidna: Thanks.16:27

nijabano that brillant16:28
nijabaI just think the page is too bug16:28
nijababig16:28
nijabaand that it could be splitted in sub pages16:28
nijababut wanted to see if people had objections before doing so16:29
mathiaznijaba: do you have an idea about the structure?16:29
kirklandnijaba: multiple pages could definitely be more effective, done correctly16:29
nijabamathiaz: not yet, but that would be a theme structure.  one sub section will be dedicated to windows guest, that's sure16:29
mathiaznijaba: ok - so the first step would be to come up with the structure16:30
mathiaznijaba: and then content can be moved from the main page to its sub-page16:31
nijabamathiaz: ok. you can action me on that16:31
mathiaznijaba: great. could you add an item in the roadmap and put up the new structure as bullet points there?16:31
nijabamathiaz: fine16:31
mathiaznijaba: I don't think we need a blueprint for that16:31
nijabahope not ;)16:32

mathiaz[TOPIC] Encrypted home: beta available16:32
MootBotNew Topic:  Encrypted home: beta available16:32
mathiazkirkland: has an amazing news!16:32
* jjesse waits exepenctantly16:33
kirklandmathiaz, et al:  encrypted home directory code is working well :-)16:33
kirklandI just blogged about it here: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2008/12/ubuntu-jaunty-encrypted-home.html, hoping for some early testers16:34
kirklandtwo packages affected, in my PPA, adduser, and ecryptfs-utils16:34
kirklandassuming you upgrade those two packages, it's simply a matter of "adduser --encrypt-home foo"16:34
nijabakirkland: have you done any bench on perf impact?16:34
kirklandand foo's home directory will be setup for total encryption16:34
kirklandnijaba: i did a basic test16:35
kirklandnijaba: i debuild compiled a sufficiently large package16:35
kirklandnijaba: in my encrypted home dir, it took about 19 minutes16:35
kirklandnijaba: in a non-encrypted /tmp dir, it took almost 18 minutes16:35
nijabahmmm; sounds good!16:35
kirklandnijaba: not very scientific, i know16:36
kirklandnijaba: do we have an filesystem performance testers out there?16:36
nijabaenough for me to be convinced to give it a shot on my test machine16:36
kirklandnijaba: someone that could help benchmark this?16:36
kirklandnijaba: good point ...  test machines only at this point16:36
kirklandnijaba: in my PPA, and such16:36
kirklandthe file name encryption hasn't landed in the ubuntu kernel yet16:36
kirklandthough it is in Andrew Morton's -mm tree16:37
kirklandso its well on its way to upstream adoption16:37
kirklandi do think that should make jaunty's final kernel16:37
kirklandi have a number of other things still to do...16:37
kirklandintegrating into the Server and Desktop installers16:37
kirklandand modifying the graphical Users and Groups program to support the option16:38
kirklandin any case, i think the hardest part is behind me ;-)16:38
kirklandso if you have a VM lying around, running Jaunty, please give it a shot ;-)16:38
mathiazkirkland: is the list of TODO items tracked somewhere?16:38
kirklandmathiaz: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/encrypted-home-directory16:39
nijabakirkland: you could get in touch with the guys at phoronyx to give us an idea on the impact16:39
kirklandmathiaz: in the whiteboard16:39
kirklandmathiaz: i still need to make a full wiki spec for it, at which point i'll migrate those over there16:39
kirklandnijaba: interesting, okay...  do you have a contact over there?16:39
kirklandnijaba: those were the guys who trashed Intrepid, though, right?16:39
nijabakirkland: will get you in touch with them16:40
kirklandnijaba: thanks16:40
kirklandmathiaz: i'll probably shift some focus to encrypted swap now16:40
mathiazkirkland: right - considering that you'll have to write something up for UDS you could start a wiki page now16:40
kirklandmathiaz: as that's critically important to the security of the homedir's data, now, in that any cleartext homedir data *only* lives in memory, which could get swapped to disk16:41
mathiazkirkland: OTOH if these are just minor points, adding to the Roadmap would be enough IMO16:41
kirklandmathiaz: okey doke16:41
kirklandmathiaz: i plan on having a wiki page anyway16:41
mathiaz[ACTION] kirkland to create a wiki page for encrypted home directories16:41

mathiazkirkland: anything else on the encrytped front?16:42
kirklandmathiaz: don't think so16:43
Koonkirkland: any way to have a non-encrypted foler inside an encrypted home directory ?16:43
Koon(folder)16:43
kirklandKoon: kind of ...16:43
kirklandKoon: ecryptfs at the kernel layer supports something called "passthrough"16:43
kirklandKoon: which would do what you suggest16:44
kirklandKoon: however, there's a couple of bugs (or feature requests) in the kernel ecryptfs filesystem that are keeping this from being feature-complete16:44
Koonkirkland: just asking :)16:44
kirklandKoon: it's a great, fair question16:44

rtgwill upload 2.6.28-2.2 momentarily17:06
rtgsent out mailing list note17:06
apwis there any userspace dependancies as yet?17:06
pgranerrtg: yea just saw that... mail is moving slow today :-(17:06
rtgits a rebase against 2.6.28-rc7 plus some other patches.17:06
pgranerrtg: how many sauce patches are we carrying?17:07
rtgdunno, but I actually dropped a couple during this rebase.17:07
pgranerrtg: thats info we need to gather for UDS17:07
rtgsome wacom tablet stuff17:07
amitkpgraner: 4617:08
amitk...with no reference to 4217:08
pgraneramitk: about the same as Intrepid ...17:08
BenCpgraner: sorry, got side tracked on another discussion...17:08
pgranerBenC: no worries...17:09
rtgtalked to fabbione this morning. we need to update gfs as soon as he's got a version ready for .2817:09
apwwe have a couple of reverts in the list so there may be a couple fewer17:09
BenCrtg: Have you reviewed those two reverts to mainline?17:09
pgranerrtg: what about GFS2 I thought that superseded gfs?17:10
amitkapw: right. I missed that in the quick scan. 44 then.17:10
BenCpgraner: gfs is meant to allow moving to gfs217:10
rtgBenC: the wacom tablet reverts? yes - I looked at upstream. seems to be a superset.17:10
pgranerBenC: ok... I thought we were there already, I don't track GFS actively...17:10
BenCpgraner: they aren't compatible, and since fabbione is willing to maintain it (and is upstream for it), we are keeping it around17:10
pgranerBenC: ack17:11
rtgpgraner: fabbione says we'll have to carry it another 2 or 3 years17:11
BenCI'm guessing we can drop it after the next lts17:11
pgranerrtg: wow, thats a long cycle. Does anyone know what the others distros are doing, if anything different?17:11
rtgyou can bet redhat is carrying it :)17:11
BenCpgraner: fedora/redhat are keeping it as well (fabbione works for them)17:11
amitkBenC: can't any of the sauce patches be upstreamed?17:12
amitk44d5e51a5199cd4cf939fa3a15e03c85093f3ccd17:12
BenCamitk: they all need to be reviewed for that, but yes, a lot can17:12
apwwe should probabally do a review across them17:12
pgranerThats a UDS discussion17:13
apwis there a specific session for that?17:13
apwor is that a beer-tent session17:13
rtgapw: I think there is a session for it17:13
pgranerapw: yes17:14
pgranerAnything else for Jaunty?17:14
rtgbeer tents are too noisy for that sort of thing17:14
BenCpgraner: lrm is prepped and ready for upload17:14
pgranerI think we will hammer quite a bit out during UDS17:14
pgranerBenC: nice17:14
BenCpgraner: nothing needed to be ported, was a clean compile17:14
amitkBenC: any plans to replace madwifi HAL?17:15
amitkand move it out of LRM?17:15
BenCamitk: gonna leave that to rtg...I have no hardware to confirm it17:15
rtgamitk: madwifi should just disappear17:15
* amitk nods17:15
BenCrtg: will ath5k/ath9k be using the newly open sources hal?17:15
amitkbut untile ath5k and ath9k works for everybody...17:15
BenC*sourced17:15
amitk*until17:15
rtg9k isn't relevant, only 5k. and 5k ought to be a superset by now.17:16
rtgLuis will be at UDS, we can chat him up about it.17:16
pgraner[TOPIC] ARM17:16
MootBotNew Topic:  ARM17:16
pgraneramitk: anything new since last week?17:17
BenClooks like armel built fine with -1.1 upload, so that's a big plus17:17
amitkwading through a _huge_ patchset that is the diff between Linus' tree and linux-omap tree17:17
apwis that the like 500k commits one?17:17
amitkUDS decision to be made: go with linux-omap tree for all -omap flavours OR17:18
rtgamitk: are you cross compiling ?17:18
amitkapply several hundred patches to the ubuntu kernel17:18
amitkrtg: yes17:18
pgraneramitk: whats the story with the omap tree? when are those patches expected to be in mainline?17:18
amitkpgraner: another year :)17:18
pgraneramitk: ouch17:18
amitklots of driver fixes needed.17:19
amitkplus first they go to Russell's tree (linux-arm)17:19
amitkthen on to Linus'17:19
ckingamitk: maintenance nightmare17:19
pgraneramitk: ok, we will have that as part of the general kernel roundtable. I'm just worried about bug/security divergence17:19
amitkpgraner: in general it is _possible_ to apply the patches to our tree17:19
amitksince linux-omap is very uptodate with linus' tree17:20
pgraneramitk: sounds like its time for a new guy to step up </hint>17:20
amitkbut I'll leave the decision to UDS with some more numbers in terms of patches and effort17:20
pgranerOk... anything else amitk ?17:20
amitkit would help if someone can take lpia burden off for a while...17:21
pgraneramitk: ok, we can do that next week when we are all together17:21

ogasawarawe're looking good for bugs getting worked on from the weekly buglist17:23
apwogasawara, your list is much easier to work with now thanks again for the updates17:24

MootBotNew Topic:  UDS17:25
pgranerBlueprints are done except for two: kernel-packaging & Kernel Faster Booting17:25
rtgits on my todo list for today17:26
pgranerI've got a call with sconklin later today on the packaging one17:26
amitkguilty as charged. Working on it in bits and pieces17:26
pgranerrtg: great...17:26
apwi have some updates to do, but the bulk is there17:26
amitkhard to write a spec that you don't really agree with...17:26
pgraneramitk: we need to have it flused out buy the actual session so there is a bit of time17:27
amitkakc17:27
amitkack17:27
pgraneramitk: its not so much that you agree with it, its about the investigation and making sure we cover all the alternatives17:27
apwamitk, in a sense being a harsh critic makes you think about the bad points better, and those are just as valid, as are alternative options17:28
amitkpgraner: just to be sure, this isn't about speeding up boot in general, right?17:28
amitkit is about booting from a pre-saved image17:28
pgraneramitk: there are two different blue prints, rtg has Faster boot. You have the presaved image. Much like what we talked about in London17:28
amitkok. good.17:29
rtgamitk: why is fast boot a separate spec?17:29
rtgisn't pre-saved image just another method for fater boot?17:29
amitkrtg: because it is not necessary achievable for all hardware? And is bootloader dependent?17:29
pgranerrtg: the presaved image is a "instant on" type thing17:29

TechnovikingI'm here, my wireless is hazy, may drop off21:00
Burgundaviaso we have two21:01
cody-somervilleI'm around21:01
sabdflhello all21:03
Burgundaviaexcellent21:03
sabdflhttp://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda21:03
sabdflis Nick Ali present?21:04
boredandblogginghere21:04
sabdfldo we have quorum?21:04
Technoviking3 of us21:04
boredandbloggingi wrote up some notes on /talk21:04
boredandbloggingi can rehash if needed or clarify21:04
Burgundaviathe first issue the news team calendar?21:05
boredandbloggingBurgundavia: yes21:06
Burgundaviacan we avoid the whole development issue by using google calendar and then feed that into drupal?21:06
boredandbloggingthe meeting bot still needs to be fixed21:06
=== heHATEme is now known as vorian
boredandbloggingand thats the main problem21:07
sabdfldoes google calendar not handle the repeating nature?21:07
sabdfli.e. can we get a feed from google with repeating events exploded out?21:08
boredandbloggingthe google calendar handles it fine21:08
Burgundaviait would just spit out an ical file21:08
Burgundaviacan we not feed that into drupal and thus the events become non-repeating?21:08
sabdflit does spit out ical, but does it also spit out a list of events in another format?21:08
boredandbloggingical and ics is all I've seen21:09
boredandbloggingreading feeds into drupal is not the easiest thing especially into the event modules21:09
nizarusical, xml and html21:09
boredandbloggingfeeds are handled completely differently21:09
sabdfldoes the newer drupal codebase work with repeating events?21:09
boredandbloggingwe haven't tested it out21:10
boredandbloggingbut if it did do it properly, still a meeting bot issue21:10
boredandbloggingbut if it did each event separately, it could work21:10
boredandbloggingbut I'm not sure why it would break it out21:10
Technovikingwho runs the meeting bot code?21:11
boredandbloggingstdin21:11
Burgundaviadoes the ical file lists the events as repeating or one event at a time?21:11
boredandbloggingrepeating21:11
sabdflit gets even trickier when you have a repeating event that gets moved around for one instance21:12
boredandbloggingcorrect21:12
sabdfli.e. a CC meeting that gets pushed back an hour on a particular week21:12
boredandbloggingyeah, I'm not sure how ical handles that, but right the code would have to consider that21:13
sabdfldid we develop this bot, or is it something that existed elsewhere that we adapted?21:13
Burgundaviaindeed, my thought21:13
boredandbloggingsavveas21:13
sabdflis it in python...?21:14
boredandbloggingyeah, its a supybot module21:14
Burgundaviaso you are asking for Canonical resources, essentially?21:16
boredandbloggingheh21:16
boredandbloggingat least finding someone to fix the bot21:16
boredandblogginganyone who can code and make the changes21:16
Burgundaviagiven we at the CC are more of the moral persuasion21:16
Burgundaviahave you tried blogging about it?21:16
sabdfli wonder if google's api doesn't allow us to count on it for expanding out the ical file21:17
Burgundaviaapologies if you have, been heads down with school recently21:17
boredandbloggingi haven't blogged about it21:17
sabdfli will send off an email to some folks at canonical that just did some work on google calendar scripting21:17
Technovikingsorry wireless drop off for a minute21:17
sabdfli take it that it's sufficient to be able to monitor a google calendar and announce events in a set of channels?21:17
boredandbloggingsabdfl: yeah, we just want to maintain its current functionality21:18
sabdfli don't know the full extent of that :-)21:18
sabdflok, i'll send that mail, nick what's your email addy?21:18
boredandbloggingsabdfl: nali @ ubuntu21:19
sabdflokdokey, will cc you21:19
sabdflhope something good comes out of it21:19
boredandbloggingthanks guys21:19
sabdflyann hamon?21:19
Burgundaviapostponed until the 16th21:20
sabdfldo we have a view on corporate blogs and planet? this came up before with canonical21:20
Burgundaviaas long as it isn't overt advertising, I don't have a major issue with it21:21
Burgundaviasomething like Novells PR blog on planet suse is a bit too advertising for me, for example21:21
sabdflhow about we subscribe to a subset feed?21:22
sabdflsay, if they explicitly tag it "planet" then we take it?21:22
sabdfland then we also hold them accountable for not advertising?21:22
Burgundaviasure21:22
Burgundaviamaybe we have a trial period?21:23
sabdflthat makes "publish on planet" a conscious decision, rather than an accident21:23
Technovikingdon't think so, I think it would be fine to have a corporate blog feed to the planet if it is Ubuntu releated, no sales pitch!21:23
Technoviking+121:23
sabdfli think a review in three months would be useful21:23
sabdflif only to say "so far so groovy"21:23
Burgundaviathat works21:23
Technovikingsounds like a plan21:24
Burgundaviashould we explicitly list the corporate blogs somewhere on the wiki with the rules?21:24
Burgundaviaand how to get added?21:24
sabdflwhere should we document this policy guideline?21:24
BurgundaviaPlanet/CorporateBlogs21:24
Burgundavia?21:24
sabdflif it's just one paragraph, can we add it to the main page?21:25
sabdflhow about requiring CC approval?21:25
sabdfljust so we don't get folks adding companies that are almost peripheral21:25
boredandbloggingwouldn't it be better to have a separate planet for it? I would think a lot of companies would be interested21:25
Burgundaviaa corporate ghetto? no thanks21:26
sabdflwe don't have a concept of "corporate membership" but i think some awareness at CC level would be useful, until it gets bedded down and can be delegated21:26
sabdfli agree, a separate planet would be less useful21:26
Burgundaviacorporations can be just as much a part of the community as a person21:26
sabdfl+121:26
lifelessI think it would be great to have the companies deeply into Ubuntu blogging on planet21:26
lifelessjust as a non-cc-member opinion21:26
Burgundaviawe should also encourage their engineers, etc. to create blogs and post about projects they are working on21:26
boredandbloggingjust afraid the planet would get swamped, but that can be dealt with later21:27
Burgundaviasubject to normal membership guidelines, etc.21:27
sabdflok21:27
sabdflBurgundavia: would you draft a paragraph for the Planet page?21:27
sabdflsalient points are:21:27
Burgundaviashould we ask that at least one person at the company is a member (strawman, not certain if I like it or hate it)21:27
sabdfl - "conscious subsets" of corporate blogs can be published on planet21:28
sabdfl - needs to be agreed with CC21:28
sabdfl - criteria will be sustained and significant involvement in Ubuntu by the company21:28
sabdfl - and no advertising on posts flagged for publishing on planet21:28
sabdflBurgundavia: +121:28
sabdfl(on the requirement that the company have a member to take responsibility)21:29
BurgundaviaTechnoviking: ?21:29
sabdflany other bullets folks would add to that list?21:29
Technoviking+1 on that21:29
boredandbloggingcreative commons licensed?21:29
TechnovikingIt sounds like a great idea21:29
lifelessboredandblogging: don't see that that is specific to company blogs21:29
Burgundaviaboredandblogging: enforcing licensing may lead to legal issues that prevent blogging21:30
sabdfldo we have an existing requirement of CC licensing for planet?21:30
TechnovikingI think posts to the planet would have to be creative commons licenced21:30
sabdfli don't think we require that for individuals, do we?21:31
Burgundavianot currently, unless i have really been sleeping at the switch21:31
TechnovikingI thought we did, but I may be think of the forums post21:32
sabdfli take it we have explicit permission, since people subscribe us to their feed21:32
sabdfli'm -1 on treating corp blogs differently from a licensing perspective21:32
Burgundaviayes21:33
sabdflTechnoviking: ?21:33
Technovikingthat is fine with me, no need for license21:33
sabdflother than implied permission to republish21:33
sabdflok21:33
sabdflBurgundavia: is that enough for you?21:33
Burgundaviayep, am working on it right now21:34
sabdflokdokey21:34
sabdflis that a wrap?21:34
james_wa related question if you have a moment21:34
sabdflBurgundavia: will you cc a copy of that to the UWN folks?21:35
sabdfljames_w: go for it21:35
Technovikingis someone from Tunisian LoCo Team here21:35
Burgundaviahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/PlanetUbuntu/CorporateBlogs21:35
nizaruso/21:35
Burgundaviafirst cut21:35
james_wdoes every blog on planet have to be an Ubuntu member, or can you "sponsor" people on to it?21:35
sabdfljames_w: the former21:35
Burgundaviainteresting idea. why do you suggest it?21:35
james_wthought so, someone told me otherwise21:35
james_w"I've done if before and no-one complained" was the line I think :-)21:36
Burgundaviaahh21:36
Burgundaviahave we actually checked that everybody int eh feed is a member?21:36
sabdflthat's not *really* the same thing :-)21:36
sabdflBurgundavia: i don't think so, no21:36
jcastroTechnoviking: I've been talking to one of the guys about this Tunisian thing21:36
jcastroTechnoviking: I was going to bring it up at a UDS roundtable21:36
Technovikingjcastro: ok thanks21:36
Burgundaviado we think it is worth doing?21:36
jcastroI think so21:37
sabdflfrom a canonical perspective, we have specific decision processes for that21:37
jcastroI am unsure on who is available and who would want to go and all that.21:37
sabdfljcastro is plugged in21:37
Burgundaviasabdfl: for the corporate blogs page, I am going to circulate on the mailing list for comments before we send it off to the UWN21:38
sabdflBurgundavia: +121:38
sabdflon the Tunis question, i think we should let jcastro tackle it21:38
jcastroI've TODOed it for UDS21:38
sabdflif it's appropriate for Canonical to sponsor an Ubuntu member, we'll do that21:38
TechnovikingBurgundavia: looks great: +121:38
