mdzagenda is:15:01
mdz * Per-package upload application for Charlie Smotherman ([[CharlieSmotherman/PerPackageUploaderApplication|Application]] [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/motu-council/2009-May/002115.html|MOTU Council recommendation]])15:01

mdz * Developer application board (ScottJamesRemnant)15:01
mdz * Select a chair for the next meeting15:01
mdz * Summarize the meeting for TeamReports15:01
mdzcjwatson: keybuk: are you here?15:01
* ScottK-laptop wrote this morning to ask if the clamav topic could come early in the meeting as I have to leave no later than 1440 UTC.15:01
cjwatsonyes15:01
cjwatsonI chaired last week15:01
mdzScottK-laptop: sorry, I hadn't seen that yet15:02
cjwatsonwill we have sabdfl?15:02
mdzScottK-laptop: how much time do you think it requires?15:02
mdzcjwatson: seems unlikely15:02
Keybuk_mdz: I am here ;)15:02
mdzcjwatson: will we have Keybuk?15:02
mdzok15:02
Keybuk_just making my lunch, so reading and typing for a few minutes ;)15:02
Keybuk_and not typing, even15:02
ScottK-laptopmdz: Anywhere between 5 minutes and two days.  It depends on if people have considered the proposal and how much discussion it generates.15:02
ScottK-laptopI'm hoping not long.15:03
cjwatsonI've considered the proposal and you spoke to it at UDS as well15:03
mdzI've read it, and saw your presentation at UDS15:03
mdzI hadn't yet thought about who we would want input from beyond the TB15:03
mdzrelease team and security team perhaps?15:03
ScottK-laptopsabdfl gave it a +1 via email.15:03
ScottK-laptopThe security team endorsed it before i sent it to the TB.15:03
mdzanyway, let's go ahead and dive into that since you requested it15:03
cjwatsonfor the most part I think it falls under the general principle we've been evolving that we should permit updates outside the usual run of things when the driver is primarily external events15:04
mdz[TOPIC]  Clamav update policy15:04
MootBotNew Topic:   Clamav update policy15:04
ScottK-laptophttp://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClamavUpdate is the proposal15:04
MootBotLINK received:  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClamavUpdate is the proposal15:04
mdz[LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClamavUpdates15:04
MootBotLINK received:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClamavUpdates15:04
mdz(is there an echo in here? ;-) )15:04
cjwatsonhave you encountered much in the way of trouble with rdepends of the library package?15:04
ScottK-laptopThere are a mix of issues getting to something we think is ready for the archive.15:04
ScottK-laptopSo far once we've decided to push to -updates/-security there have been almost none.15:05
mdzScottK-laptop: good (re: security team).  do you have input from the release team?15:05
ScottK-laptopmdz: No.  I didn't think to coordinate with them.15:05
Keybuk_if not, is there a member of the release team here other than cjwatson? :)15:05
ScottK-laptopFor packages where upstream isn't dead it's mostly a lot of coordination, patching, and testing.15:06
cjwatsonwell, the release team already consented to the past updates15:06
cjwatsonthough I don't think I was much involved with that myself15:06
ScottK-laptopWe (slangasek actually) pushed clamav 0.95.1 and redepends to dapper/hardy/intrepid-backports yesterday.15:06
cjwatsonof course if these are going through -security then AFAIAC the primary signoff requirement is from the security team15:07
ScottK-laptopThere's is the hardest bit.15:07
cjwatsonso I'm pleased to see them involved in regression testing15:07
mdzI have no problems with the proposal, and if the security and release teams are happy with it, I'm happy to endorse it15:08
KeybukLikewise15:09
cjwatsonsounds like agreement to me15:09
mdzshould we vote on this?15:10

* porthose waves15:12
porthoseyes15:13
mdzporthose: hello, thanks for coming15:13
porthoseglad to be here15:13
cjwatsonporthose: can you tell us a bit about the ampache packaging - anything particularly unusual about it?15:13
porthosenothing really unusual about it other than I put it together from scratch15:14
mdznote that this is a bit unusual, in that we haven't previously granted per-package upload rights to packages in universe before15:15
mdzbut with archive reorg on the horizon, it seems appropriate to start doing this15:15
porthose:)15:15
mdzI suggest we treat this as we would the creation of a developer team for ampache15:15
porthoseok15:16
Keybukwe don't have a procedure for that yet, do we? :)15:16
mdznope15:16
mdznow seems as good a time as any15:16
mdzthe main question is, who would be the administrator of said team?15:16
cjwatsonthe TB15:16
persiaI'd suggest that until there is some reason to change, the TB should be the administrator.15:16
mdzok, no argument from me15:17
Keybukme neither15:17
mdzand the list of packages would be?15:17
cjwatson(I thought I'd already suggested that as standing procedure, BTW)15:17
cjwatsonper the application, ampache, ampache-themes, coherence15:17
mdzcjwatson: sorry15:18
mdzI was just searching the application to try to find that, and didn't see it15:18
Keybukporthose: are ampache and coherence related?15:18
cjwatsonmdz: oh, it's in the motu-council mail15:18
mdzit is in the motu council's recommendation though15:18
porthoseKeybuk: in a way, you can use coherence + ampache + rhythmbox15:19
porthoseor any other player that supports DAAP15:19
Keybukok, makes sense to keep them grouped then15:19
mdzporthose: is coherence useful with servers other than ampache?15:19
cjwatsonjust curious, you mentioned that coherence uses ampache's XML API - I notice it doesn't seem to have any dependency or build-dependency relationship. Does it just talk the API by hand?15:19
porthosemdz: as far as other servers I'm not sure about, but there are a number of devices are supported by coherence15:20
porthoseampache use it's XML api to communicate with coherence15:20
cjwatsonanyway, I've got no problem with porthose's application given motu-council's endorsement, AFAIK this is just figuring out how to best express it in LP :)15:20
cjwatsonmdz: do we need a team for a single person, incidentally?15:21
mdzpython's standard library includes an XML-RPC client15:21
cjwatsonI was under the impression that we would generally only bother once there were multiple people involved15:21
mdzcjwatson: I  don't think we do, no15:21
mdzthough I think there is some advantage to making a team15:21
mdzit means that if someone else comes along and wants to help with ampache, it's obvious where to go15:22
mdzI'm open to either configuration, though15:22
cjwatsonit's easily switched over later15:22
mdzare we ready to vote on granting the rights to porthose in any case?15:22
KeybukI am15:23
mdzcjwatson: yes, though once there are many of these ,we'll need to remember to check for existing ACLs on a package before granting one to another individual, and convert it into a team15:23
cjwatsonright15:23
cjwatsonI agree, but generally think we should create structure when we need it rather than before15:23
cjwatsonanyway, readyy15:23
mdz[VOTE] grant upload rights to Charlie Smotherman (porthose) for packages: ampache, ampache-themes, coherence15:23

MootBotLINK received:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThierryCarrez/CoreDevApplication15:25
mdzI have some direct experience of Thierry's work, and have also heard from his colleagues and manager on the server team15:26
cjwatsonporthose: done, you can upload those freely now modulo the release schedule15:26
Keybukttx: what do you think is the main aspect on which you need to improve?15:27
porthosecjwatson: thank you15:27
porthoseand the TB15:27
ttxKeybuk: I would say broaden general knowledge over some packages. There are things I know, and things I don't know15:27
mdzI would be interested to hear from people on other key development-related teams (like the release team, the archive admin team, etc) if he's worked with them15:28
Keybukttx: can you think of an example offhand?15:28
ttxKeybuk: I'm working on it by imposing specific periods during the week where I look over new things15:28
mdzttx: do you have experiences working with people beyond the server team in your capacity as an Ubuntu developer?15:28
ttxKeybuk: hmm... iSCSI support ?15:28
ttxmdz: my work on java packaging was mostly done in interaction with the ubuntu JavaTeam15:29
ttxand MOTU.15:29
cjwatsonI've worked with ttx occasionally, but it's been more doing things on request than lots in the way of active sponsorship15:29
mdzttx: have you ever requested a freeze exception?15:29
ttxMost of my work is done with upstream interaction15:29
cjwatsonttx: (iSCSI support as an example of something you don't know and would like to?)15:30
ttxmdz: yes, I did. For Likewise-Open, and (iirc) eucalyptus15:30
ttxcjwatson: something I've not hands-on experience with. I know FC SANs but not so much the iSCSI toolset15:31
mdzhttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/likewise-open/+bug/32360115:31
ubottuUbuntu bug 323601 in likewise-open "[FFe] Upgrade to likewise-open 5 for Jaunty" [Wishlist,Fix released]15:31
mdzand...I think...15:32
mdzhttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eucalyptus/+bug/35854115:32
cjwatsonttx: eucalyptus is somewhat close to my heart at the moment - how are you planning to mitigate the fact that we know we're dependent on upstream work in order to meet some release goals?15:32
mdzthough the latter (apart from saying "ffe") doesn't look much like a freeze exception request15:32
ubottuUbuntu bug 358541 in eucalyptus "[FFe] Missing populate_arp.pl" [Undecided,Fix released]15:32
ttxthe latter is not especially mine, either :)15:32
cjwatsonttx: (and, when you're ready) have you worked at all with those parts of Ubuntu that are currently in bzr, or with James' branches that are in progress, to evaluate how those feel to you?15:32
ttxcjwatson: it's tricky. I'm trying to get tentative dependency lists so that I rate the quantity of work left correctly15:33
mdzttx: I didn't find any other freeze exception request regarding eucalyptus15:33
ttxcjwatson: both euca-in-main and euca-on-cd unfortunately depend on the final dependency list15:33
mdzbut the likewise-open one is a good example15:33
cjwatsonttx: depend for completion, yes, but it's not entirely obvious that they depend on that for getting started ...?15:33
ttxcjwatson: yes, my work on etckeeper is done through bzr packaging15:34
ttxand some git-bzr goodness from jelmer15:34
cjwatsonah, etckeeper is native so that dodges a lot of the problems15:34
ttxcjwatson: they surely don't depend on that to be started. I'd say half the work on euca-on-cd is done15:34
ttxeuca-in-main is trickier, since you don't really want to MIR something that ends up not being necessary.15:35
ttxespecially when you have ~80 packages to MIR :)15:35
* ttx tries to make sure he didn't miss one question in the question storm...15:36
mdzttx: is the work which has been done evident in the archive right now?15:36
mdz(on euca-on-cd)15:36
ttxmdz: yes. I've done dependency fixes in universe packages.15:37
ttxmdz: plus a few main things that cjwatson sponsored :)15:37
mdzok, no more questions from me15:37
cjwatsonright, ttx and doko came to an agreement at UDS on some Java dependency rearrangement15:37
ttxmdz: all should be linked from the blueprint for your review.15:37
mdzlet me know when you're ready to vote15:38
ttxcjwatson: yes, the dreaded -gcj recommendations.15:38
cjwatsonI think I'm OK to go15:39

mdz[TOPIC] Canonical support for education applications (JordanMantha, JonathanCarter, StephaneGraber)15:41
MootBotNew Topic:  Canonical support for education applications (JordanMantha, JonathanCarter, StephaneGraber)15:41
stgrabersorry, I'm in another meeting at the moment but will try to quickly discuss it15:42
mdzLaserJock, highvoltage, stgraber: ping?15:42
stgraberso basically at the last TB meeting it was discussed that Edubuntu will have some packages from universe15:42
mdzthere's no link associated with this item, so I'm not sure what it's about15:42
stgrabercurrently according to Canonical's website Edubuntu is supported as an officially supported derivative15:42
stgraberand I'd have like to know what's going to happen and what's the actual current status of that15:43
cjwatson15:49 <stgraber> I guess we'll add another agenda item for the next TB meeting to discuss Canonical support for education apps as AFAIK it's still advertised as supported somewhere on ubuntu.com15:44
cjwatsonwas where this came from, in the last meeting15:44
mdzstgraber: just to be clear, are you asking whether Canonical will offer technical support services (i.e. support contracts) for educational applications?15:44
highvoltagemdz: pong15:44
stgraberright, currently as it's advertised Canonical is supposed to offer paid support for Edubuntu15:44
stgraberand so was wondering what's happening with that in regard of Edubuntu's current situation15:45
KeybukI'm not sure that this is something the Ubuntu Technical Board can decide, Canonical's offer of commerical support for any given release is up to Canonical15:45
jonoKeybuk, I get the impression stgraber is just looking to know where things stand today15:46
mdzright, this isn't up to the TB15:46
highvoltageKeybuk: I thought that Canonical supports everything in main, also, would the archive re-organisation have an effect on what canonical supports?15:46
mdzbut I've asked the corporate services folks to get you an authoritative answer anyway15:46
highvoltageok that could work15:47
mdzthe answer is that they are willing to offer such a service, but to date there has been no interest in it15:47
persiaJust as a point of policy, should developers raise this class of issues to the TB for redirection, or should they be sent to Canonical individually and directly?15:47
cjwatsonhighvoltage: the archive reorganisation may make it easier to explain what Canonical supports, but should not in and of itself change it15:47
mdzI would much rather people contact Canonical sales representatives if they have questions about Canonical products and services15:47
mdzpersia: ^^15:47
mdzI am happy to help out in making connections as necessary15:48
mdzit's just more expedient to ask directly than to come via an Ubuntu community channel15:48
persiamdz, Thanks.  Just wondered if it was a TB-speaks-for-the-developers thing.15:48
mdzstgraber: does that resolve your question?15:48
stgraberI'm fine with that15:49
mdzok, moving on then.  10 minutes to go15:49
mdz[TOPIC] Mono (ScottJamesRemnant)15:49
MootBotNew Topic:  Mono (ScottJamesRemnant)15:49
Keybukpersia: from a community POV, our goal has always been to allow other companies than Canonical to offer commercial support - and thus not single out Canonical for special treatment by the board15:49
Keybukmdz: I have proposed a position statement on Mono15:49
persiaKeybuk, Right.15:49
mdzlast week, Scott proposed a position statement15:50
Keybukshall I post it to a wiki page so others can read it?15:50
mdzwhich I'm ashamed to say I haven't read yet15:50
cjwatsonI *just* did15:50
cjwatson(oops)15:50
mdzI have read it now15:51
cjwatsonit seems like a more direct phrasing of basically the same kinds of things that were in the last minutes I sent out15:51
mdzand I think it sounds perfectly reasonable15:51
cjwatsonand as such I'm fine with it15:51
KeybukI propose that we send it to the developer mailing lists, directly replies to the TB list15:51
cjwatsonKeybuk: I think you should post it to ubuntu-devel-announce@ so others can read it, then ;-)15:51
Keybuku-d-a or u-d?15:51
jonoI think Keybuk's statement sounds reasonable15:51
mdzjono was liaising with Canonical PR on this as well, since there had been an inquiry15:52
mdzwhere are we on the patent policy?  iirc I sent some feedback and Scott sent a +115:53
mdzit would be nice to be able to refer to that when talking about Mono15:53
mdzjono: ?15:53
jonoagreed15:53
jonothe patent policy is waiting with the TB15:53
jonoI don't think the full TB has reviewed it15:53
mdzjono: you've received feedback from 2/4 members of the TB.  do you want something from everyone?15:53
jonoI sent over the proposed policy quite some time ago15:53
mdzif so, I think you'll need to chase the rest15:53
jonook, will do15:54
mdzI doubt sabdfl has looked at it15:54
jonoI think sabdfl needs to15:54
mdzdo we want to push something out re: mono before that?15:54
jonoparticularly as Canonical would be liable15:54
cjwatsonI've failed to read the patent policy draft properly - I will do so promptly15:54
jonomdz, Gerry said regarding the PR issue, that it has ended now and a piece has been written15:54
mdz[ACTION] Colin to read the draft patent policy and provide feedback15:54
MootBotACTION received:  Colin to read the draft patent policy and provide feedback15:54
mdz[ACTION] jono to chase Mark for feedback on the draft patent policy15:54
MootBotACTION received:  jono to chase Mark for feedback on the draft patent policy15:54
jonobut we still need a final Mono statement15:55
mdzdo we want to go ahead with an announcement on Mono before the patent policy is settled?15:55
jonomdz, do we need an announcement? nothing changed?15:55
Keybukjono: the change has been a sudden increase in anti-Mono discussion, we'd like to boldly remind everyone of our existing technical position ;)15:55
mdzjono: we (the board) discussed it and felt it would be useful to make a statment of some kind, given the level of unrest over it15:56
jonook, sounds reasonable15:56
Keybukthe statement uses text from the patent policy draft, but doesn't specifically refer to it15:56
jonoI would say the draft you wrote Keybuk, serves that well15:56
mdzso do we: a) go ahead with it as-is, or b) wait until the patent policy is in place?15:56
mdzI'm happy either way15:56
KeybukI think it's worthwhile getting the statement out sooner15:57
mdzI honestly expect that the patent policy will mainly be cleanup and wordsmithing from here15:57
jonomdz, I think the two are disconnected15:57
jonoI agree with Keybuk15:57
cjwatsonI would say go ahead15:57
mdzit's based pretty directly on Mark's guidance presented at a TB meeting, so I don't expect him to want to change the fundamentals15:57
mdzok, sounds like we go ahead15:57

MootBotNew Topic:  Developer application board (ScottJamesRemnant)15:57
Keybukthis is waiting feedback from cjwatson15:58
cjwatsonthis week I suck, apparently15:58
KeybukMark gave a +1, there's been minor tweaking of text since then but no substantive changes15:58
mdzScott (who has apparently been very active with TB stuff lately) also made a proposal for a new governing board15:58
Keybukthough we should agree on the process for the DAB, and whether we should describe that in our mail to the CC15:58
mdzto separate the "processing developer applications" aspect of the TB from the rest15:58
cjwatsonI think I'd like us to say something about direction wrt motu-council15:58
jonocjwatson, agreed15:59
mdzwe don't have time to discuss it here, just to agree actions15:59

ttxhave, even16:08
ttxQuestions, anyone ?16:09
ttxok... if it's crystal-clear, let's move to next action...16:10

ttxDebian VoIP team / Digium ?16:12

jmdaultttx: not yet.16:14
ttxjmdault: so the idea would be to push the version in your PPA to 1.6 soon ?16:15
jmdaultttx: yes, I'm planning that for next week16:15
ttx[ACTION] jmdault to start packaging asterisk 1.6+dkms16:16

ttxjmdault: anything to add ?16:17
jmdaultnot at the moment16:17
ttxjmdault: ok, many thanks for looking into this... it's not something that's easy to work on out of the blue :)16:18
ttxNext...16:18
ttx* nijaba to start a wiki page with proposed 2 liners16:18
ttx* nijaba to send the url to the ubuntu-server@ and ask for other input16:18
nijabahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/server-tips16:19
nijabahttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2009-June/003009.html16:19
ttxnijaba: Cool, any other progress/feedback to report, outside of what we are able to see on ubuntu-server ML ?16:20
nijabattx: a few updates to the wiki, but that's it16:20
nijabattx: no strong reaction against it from the community16:20
nijabattx: I felt more of an approval16:21
ttxnijaba: How many people contributed tips ?16:21
nijabattx: 3 or 416:21
ttxnijaba: yes, the reaction was generally positive.16:21
ttxnijaba: what are the next steps ?16:22
nijabattx: create the package?16:22
ttxnijaba: do you think there are enough tips at that point for the package ? Or would we need more ?16:23
nijabattx: I do not think we need that many for it to be usefull, and nothing prevents us from addind until string freeze16:23
ttxnijaba: is there somewhere rules (except line size) of what's relevant as a tip and what's not ?16:24
nijabattx: no, but I could add that to the wiki page16:25
ttxnijaba: that would make sense. I doubt anyone would object to the tips already present, but some people might object to general rules...16:26
alexmsome rules will be helpful, indeed16:26
ttxnijaba: I've asked a question about pointers... I feel like short tips are useful if you can follow them up16:26
nijabattx: depends on the type of tips, but that's noted16:27
ttxlike talking about etckeeper, where do I go if I want more material to decide if it's good for me or not ?16:27
nijabattx: ie I do not think a tip on bash would need a pointed16:27
ttxnijaba: of course. It's just that a general follow-up mechanism to some reference page (or the manpage site) might make sense16:28
ttxobviously it's dangerous to make the target of such links a wikipage16:28
nijabattx: why is that?16:28
nijabattx: afraid of wiki defacing?16:28
ttxnijaba: yes.16:28
nijabattx: ok, I'll add that in the rules16:29
ttxOK, anyone else has comments on the ubuntu-tips effort ?16:29
sommerI think it's great :)16:30

ttxOne issue with this agenda point is that the Roadmap is somewhat out of date and incomplete16:31

ttxAnyone has progress on something that is (or should be) on the Roadmap to report ?16:34
ttxAs far as KarmicReleaseSchedule is concerned, we passed DebianImportFreeze last week, so now syncs from Debian are subject to specific sync requests16:35

sommeralexm: the doc.ubuntu.com site doesn't seem to be updated so ya the bzr branch is the best way16:40
sommeralexm: I'll ping the doc team about getting it updated though16:40
alexmsommer: thanks, I think it'll be quite handy16:41
sommeralexm: I hope so... all feedback is greatly appreciated :-)16:41
