MootBotNew Topic:  Outstanding actions15:02
cjwatson(from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TeamReports/July2009)15:02
cjwatsonColin to set up interviews with developers regarding upload privilege reorganisation (for ArchiveReorganisation)15:02
cjwatsondone yesterday; currently engaging in several dozen separate little conversations, although mostly just gathering data right now15:02
Keybukcjwatson: holiday basically means playing Tales of Monkey Island while catching up with e-mail, blogs and podcasts ;)15:02
cjwatsonKeybuk: one of those outdoor activity holidays then15:03
cjwatsonAction: Matt to contact TB nominees to confirm they wish to stand15:03
cjwatsonmdz: did they all say yes?15:03
* cjwatson parallelises slightly15:04
cjwatsonAction: Scott to implement Developer Membership Board proposal (LP, mailing list, documentation, etc.)15:04
cjwatsonKeybuk: where does this stand?15:04
mdzcjwatson: sorry, distracted15:04
Keybukcjwatson: sprint, etc. not even picked up ball yet, let along dropped it15:04
mdzcjwatson: I emailed technical-board@ with their responses, everyone agreed to stand15:04
cjwatsonI know the feeling. Will carry over15:05
cjwatson[ACTION] Scott to implement Developer Membership Board proposal (LP, mailing list, documentation, etc.)15:05
MootBotACTION received:  Scott to implement Developer Membership Board proposal (LP, mailing list, documentation, etc.)15:05

cjwatsonAction: Matt to communicate the new patent policy15:05
cjwatsondone, right?15:05
cjwatsonAction: Colin to update http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/techboard15:06
cjwatsonunfortunately I only noticed today that I haven't actually got login details yet; apparently newz2000 got derailed by the wiki subthread15:07
cjwatsonI think there are still things that ought to stay on the website that need to be updated, so I've asked again on that15:07
cjwatson[ACTION] Colin to update http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/techboard15:07
MootBotACTION received:  Colin to update http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/techboard15:07
mdzcjwatson: yes15:07
cjwatsonAction: Jono to draft text to communicate the TB's willingness to review key topics submitted by the community15:07
cjwatsonjono: did this happen? I think I missed it15:08
jonocjwatson, sorry, not had a chance to yet, same reason as Keybuk15:08
jonoI can certainly have it ready this week15:08
cjwatson[ACTION] Jono to draft text to communicate the TB's willingness to review key topics submitted by the community15:08
MootBotACTION received:  Jono to draft text to communicate the TB's willingness to review key topics submitted by the community15:08
jonopossibly eventoday15:08
cjwatsonAction: Colin to discuss with Bdale (Debian technical committee chair) about having a Debian representative on the Ubuntu TB15:08
jonoeven today15:08
cjwatsonstarted, but Bdale would like to engage with us to figure out a bit more of what the role would entail15:09
cjwatson... but nobody's answered :)15:09
cjwatsonso personally I'd like to see that all or most significant technical discussions (as opposed to more local governance kinds of things) have a Debian seat at the table, for purposes of advice, history, liaison, etc.15:10
mdzcjwatson: I don't think we can establish the scope of the role without Debian involvement15:10
mdzso that's sort of part of the role15:10
cjwatsonright. but the above is a sane kind of general goal, subject to people's availability ...?15:11
cjwatson[TOPIC] Debian TC liaison15:11
MootBotNew Topic:  Debian TC liaison15:11
mdzcjwatson: yes15:11
cjwatsonok, I'll take that back to the thread I started15:12
cjwatson[TOPIC] Technical Board nominations15:12
MootBotNew Topic:  Technical Board nominations15:12
mdzsomeone to provide a Debian point of view and liaison on technical issues which would benefit from coordination between the projects15:12
cjwatsonmdz: is this now ready for the vote to start?15:12
mdzcjwatson: yes, has been for nearly two weeks15:12
cjwatsonwhose action is this? sabdfl's, as TB admin?15:13
sabdfli can setup votes15:13
mdzyes, sabdfl has in his mailbox the list of nominees who have agreed to stand for a vote15:13
cjwatson[ACTION] sabdfl to create and announce TB vote15:13
MootBotACTION received:  sabdfl to create and announce TB vote15:13
mdzsent 30 July, "Technical Board nominations"15:13
cjwatsonI'll skip DAB, covered earlier15:13
sabdflwe have a vote process problem, in that LP is not setup to pick m of n15:13
sabdfli don't have a good solution15:14
cjwatsonalso covered current archive reorganisation earlier (interviews in progress; seems that the bulk of people want to go for generalist access)15:14
cjwatsonsabdfl: set up devotee? O:-)15:14
mdzsurveymonkey? :-)15:14
jonomdz, :-)15:15
Davieyopenid enabled django based voting site :)15:15
jonolets keep it simple, surveymonkey seems ideal15:15
sabdfljono: how to restrict access?15:16
mdzI was kidding...15:16
mdzsabdfl: we would email each dev a link with a token15:16
sabdflmdz: fine by me, easy to script15:16
jonomdz, really? seems like it could be suitable to recieve votes15:16
mdzok, I withdraw the joke and put it forward as a proposal :-)15:16
jonosabdfl, you can invite specific email addresses15:17
sabdfljono: even better15:17
mdzall we would need is a list of email addresses out of Launchpad to copy/paste into it15:17
sabdfleasy15:17
* jono is victorious15:17
jono:P15:17
sabdflok, let's do that15:17
cjwatsonerr, not to turn into an election methods nerd, but m-of-n votes are actually sort of non-trivial in terms of how the votes are resolved. I wasn't aware LP hadn't already settled this15:17
cjwatsonwhat voting method do we use?15:17
mdzcjwatson: the simplest possible, I suppose...everyone chooses M out of N, and we tally the totals15:18
mdzunless there's a voting widget15:18
cjwatsonso no transfers?15:18
DavieyI raised in the previous meeting that, it was my memory that LP Polls only allowed a single selection of candidate.. Question, followed by X options.. with one vote.15:19
Keybukfirst past the post seems simple enough for our needs here15:19
sabdflthere's no voting widget15:19
sabdflthere are multiple choice (many options) but no way to constrain the number of choices made, afaics15:20
cjwatsonI guess that's OK, though I haven't thought about it deeply; if you guys think FPTP is OK then let's do that. (In fact it's really "not-last-past-the-post" since this is a 5-of-6 election isn't it?)15:20
sabdflfirst past the post would be horrible at the tail end, largely random15:20
mdzsabdfl: if you're speaking of surveymonkey, you can limit the number of choices15:21
sabdflok, i propose surveymonkey unless a better option jumps out of a quick google15:21
Keybukcjwatson: I've lost all grip on number of nominations and/or seats ;-)15:21
cjwatsonfor 5-of-6 it means the loser will simply be the person whom most people don't select15:21
jonoI may be getting confused, but surely we just have a surveymonkey survey with one question with the candidates, open for a set time period and we invite all devs to choose one person15:21
jonois it much more complex than that?15:21
sabdfljono: that would be terrible at the tail end15:22
cjwatsonoh, you want just *one* person per developer? that will be crap15:22
jonosabdfl, what do you mean?15:22
mdzjono: yes, we're trying to elect 5 people15:22
mdznot just one15:22
* Keybuk thought we each voted for 5 people15:22
Keybukand thus the people/person who appeared in the least number of votes groups-of-5 would lose15:22
sabdflhttp://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html15:22
mdzKeybuk: yes, that's more what I was thinking15:22
MootBotLINK received:  http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html15:22
jonoso the person with the lowest votes doenst get elected15:22
cjwatsonIOW the person whom most people don't select. That seems OK as long as each developer has five votes each15:23
mdzjono: that would mean that each dev could only express an opinion about one candidate15:23
cjwatsonooh, civs looks good15:23
jonooh I see what you mean15:23
ScottKcivs is ideal for this kind of stuff15:23
* ScottK has used it in other projects.15:23
sabdflcan we vote on that?15:24
mdzcivs looks good to me15:24
cjwatsonI wouldn't have wanted us to implement condorcet in a rush, but given an existing implementation it would be great15:24
KeybukI approve of civs15:24

MootBotLINK received:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Policies15:26
mdzkees showed this to me last week15:27
mdzbut I don't think he could make this meeting15:27
mdzjdstrand: are you here?15:27
cjwatsonI just read this through and everything other than the executable-file stuff being discussed by mail seems fairly non-controversial, basically a codification of what we're already doing15:27
KeybukI've been talking with Kees and Marc via e-mail about the draft policy for the execute bit, which I feel is not as fully thought through as it should be15:27
Keybukthe non-draft bits all look fine to me15:27
jdstrandI am here15:27
cjwatsonI liked the thing you said at the end about the point being to stop MIME handlers subverting the execute bit15:27
mdzbasically, he wanted to document Ubuntu security policies which were not documented yet, and get that blessed by the TB15:27
mdzand also to propose some new stuff15:27
* jdstrand reads backscroll15:28
mdzi.e. the execute permission bit15:28
KeybukI remember we codified a security policy about mDNS, and which services were allowed to be published by default, etc. but I don't see that there15:28
mdzjdstrand: just starting from <MootBot> New Topic:  Ubuntu security policies15:28
cjwatsoncan we vote on the non-draft bits and get that out of the way?15:28
mdzhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZeroConfPolicySpec15:28
mdzKeybuk: ^^15:28
cjwatsonany objections to a simple up/down on whether they're ok in bulk?15:29
Keybukmdz: that's the one, that should be linked from there too15:29
mdzKeybuk: agreed15:29
Keybukcjwatson: don't see why not15:29
mdzhas anyone not read the document yet?15:29
mdzI probably should have emailed it out in advance, but at least it's short15:29

KeybukI'd like an [ACTION] for somebody to add that to the document though, jdstrand perhaps as the person whose here? :p15:32
cjwatsonok, so shall we continue the execute bit discussion by mail rather than here? it seems rather in-depth15:32
mdeslaurI'm here also, btw15:33
cjwatson[ACTION] jdstrand to add zeroconf reference from previous TB decision to security policies document15:33
MootBotACTION received:  jdstrand to add zeroconf reference from previous TB decision to security policies document15:33
jdstrandKeybuk: I can add it15:33
jdstrandwell, I see I was already assigned it... :)15:34
mdzI'm told that the contentious bit (no pun intended) of the execute permission policy is WINE15:34
cjwatsonyou can delegate if you like, I just don't like assigning multiple people :)15:34
mdeslaurmdz: wine and java15:34
cjwatsonmdz: and desktop files ...15:34
KeybukWINE and Java need the execute bit anyway when using the binfmt support15:34
mdzcjwatson: who has an issue with .desktop files?15:34
Keybukthe only reason they might not is if somebody's mucking around with MIME handlers and subverting the need for the +x15:35
Keybukmdz: desktop files are text files15:35
mdeslaurKeybuk: that is currently the case15:35
Keybukif you make them executable, then doing ./foo.desktop will mean it's parsed by the shell15:35
mdzKeybuk: then don't do that :-P15:35
Keybuka file manager or app that doesn't know *.desktop files are special will then start executing them *as shell scripts*15:35
sabdflon the TB election, any objections to running the vote from August 17-31st?15:35
Keybuk(which they're clearly not)15:35
Keybukand the desktop file format doesn't permit a leading #! line15:36
cjwatsonKeybuk: (actually, that is overridable by binfmt_misc; whether that's a good idea is a different question)15:36
Keybukand even if it did, then there wouldn't be a generic way of handling them desktop-agnostically15:36
Keybukfundamentally this is abusing the +x bit ;-)15:36
Keybukalso if you drag a *.desktop file out of Evolution and onto the Panel, that will make a Panel launcher for it15:36
Keybukit's not clear whether that requires +x15:37
mdeslaurKeybuk: it doesn't :(15:37
cjwatsonsabdfl: ok by me15:37
Keybuk(ie. the security or not of your system depends on your aim, and/or understanding of the difference between the panel and desktop)15:37
mdzsabdfl: fine with me15:37
mdzI agree with cjwatson that we should probably take this to email, we don't have time to cover it in depth here15:37
Keybukand it's then, on top of that, not clear what the UI of a non-+x launcher on the panel would be, and how you'd make it executable15:37
Keybukmdz: there's already a thread ;-)15:37
mdzKeybuk: which I haven't read yet, because I was on holiday yesterday15:38
Keybukmdz: pah ;) I managed to _cause_ the thread while being on holiday <g>15:38
cjwatsonthis is a discussion that's been going on literally for years anyway; I'm pretty sure I remember it coming up in 200515:38
cjwatsonso indeed I doubt we're going to solve it right here right now; let's continue at more leisure15:39

MootBotLINK received:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingCommunityProblems15:39
cjwatsonthis I regret to say I've only skimmed, but it seems basically reasonable. jono, do you want us to have a regular check on issues filed there (presumably we'll get them by mail anyway)?15:40
jonocjwatson, I would prefer if the TB had a process to regularly check in with the assigned bugs list15:40
jonomuch of this could be performed over email I assume15:40
jonoand then issues that require discussion could be moved to meetings15:40
mdzmy only comment, which I passed on to Jono already, is that we'll want to route more issues directly to delegate councils beyond the TB and CC as time goes on15:41
cjwatsonso let's add a link to the standing agenda, if it's empty it'll only take 15 seconds15:41
jonomdz, yes indeed15:41
mdzbut I think it is reasonable to start with TB/CC/community team15:41
jonoI wanted to trial this with the CC and TB initially and then move to team councils15:41
mdzcjwatson: agreed15:41
jonocjwatson, sounds good15:41
jonoI am planning on doing an announcement soon15:41
jonoof the new process15:42
cjwatsonyes, as I said the other day about something else, I don't think the TB should necessarily be the body of first resort; we should be active, but it's corrosive to foster a culture where everybody just sits back and lets the TB decide15:42
jonocjwatson, agreed15:42
jonowe should only pass on issues to the TB that fall within the mandate of the TB15:42
cjwatson(which I don't think this is doing at the moment, for avoidance of doubt)15:42
sladenjono: the links should probably go to launchpad.net, not edge.15:43
mdzdoes anyone have an objection to Jono proceeding with this, or can we move on?15:43
jonosladen, I will fix that15:43
Keybukno objection15:44
cjwatsonno objection15:44
cjwatson[TOPIC] Investigate alternative to Google CSE (305905, 402767)15:44
MootBotNew Topic:  Investigate alternative to Google CSE (305905, 402767)15:44
cjwatsonsladen requested that we look at this by mail, but nobody has yet taken it up15:45
Keybukwhat's Google CSE?15:45
mdzKeybuk: custom search15:45
Keybukoh, didn't that just get dropped anyway?15:45
jonothanks all15:45
KeybukI saw a -changes mail fly past15:45
cjwatsonI believe he's referring primarily to the multisearch widget in firefox15:45
mdzKeybuk: the time-limited "experiment" was completed, but we still need to decide and implement the final experience for 9.1015:46
Keybukhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/karmic-changes/2009-August/006000.html15:46
sladenKeybuk: default browser page is  http://start.ubuntu.com/9.10/  which points to a Google CSE results, which isn't translated and doesn't have most of the additional features people associate with Google15:46
Keybukit doesn't look like the Ubuntu Desktop team are wedded to this implementation, and it looks like they're aware of the issues15:46
KeybukI don't think the TB need to intervene just yet15:47
mdzsladen:  the desktop team is aware of the issues with it and is responsible for making sure the experience is good15:47
Keybukwe should trust them to make the right calls, based on the feedback their "experiment" has given them15:47
cjwatsonsladen: have you spoken directly (pref. not via a bug) with the desktop team about this yet?15:47
sladencjwatson: regarding 402767, very much so.  Not sure 305905 is a desktop issue though, it's something that requires high-level Google<->Canonical interaction15:49
mdz(point of order: 10 minutes left)15:49
cjwatsonI'm not in a position to know what's going on there at the moment, but when I was managing Alexander this was something I would have been involved in, so I'd be surprised if Rick Spencer weren't an appropriate contact for lots of this15:50
sabdflthere was a discussion in each of the past two UDS's about search options, I expect there will be another discussion in November15:50
Keybuksladen: having spoken with the team, what made you feel that the TB needed to step in to resolve the issue?15:50
sabdflsladen: if you have new information for that, or suggestions, please contribute them15:50
mdzsladen: that one is a desktop team issue as well15:50
Keybukit's not clear to me from the visible traffic on the ML and Bug that the desktop team haven't been taking concerns on board15:50
Keybukindeed, my reading in the last few minutes suggests they have15:50
cjwatsonI'm going to move on based on time, but we can continue this by mail as necessary15:51
sabdfli don't think the TB should be asked to go and explore options, since the desktop team are doing that now15:51
cjwatson[TOPIC] Statistics gathering policy15:51
MootBotNew Topic:  Statistics gathering policy15:51
sladencjwatson: I think the next issue is the important one15:51
sladenyes, that one15:51
cjwatsonis this a direct outgrowth of the multisearch issue?15:51
mdzpresumably15:51
cjwatsondirectly inspired by anyuway15:51
Keybukit's not clear to me who would be bound by such a policy15:52
sladenit's hopefully a check-list of what's sane (technically and socially)15:52
Keybukfor example, a mirror may be bound by the laws of their country to collect statistics about the use of that mirror15:53
sladenKeybuk: that's passive collection15:53
cjwatsonI don't think it would be bad for us to document some advice to developers15:53
sladenKeybuk: the policy/review request is focused on active statistics collection when added to the Ubuntu archive15:53
Keybuksladen: your text doesn't limit much of the policy to active collection15:53
cjwatsonhowever, I'm not a statistician; I know enough to know I don't know :-)15:53
Keybukthis may be a mistake in the way you have drafted the text, but only 3.* would apply in the current format15:53
cjwatsondo we have any statisticians in the community who could advise?15:53
sladen"I do not see a need for15:54
sladenpassive systems to be covered (or even have attention drawn to)"15:54
cjwatsonthere is some overlap with usability testing, but it's not really the same thing; it's a much more precise art15:54
Keybukcjwatson: best way to find that out would be for sladen to post the text wider and have community input15:54
cjwatsonI do know that as a developer I have no real idea of how I'd go about gathering stats in anything other than an ad-hoc way, which does seem suboptimal15:55
sladenKeybuk: okay, I can turn that draft into something more wide-ranging... I'm happy to run with it15:55
sabdflsladen: data gathered will not always be shared15:56
cjwatsonre point 1, time-based controls aren't necessarily bad ...15:56
sladensabdfl: mmm, I think the sharing of results is something that gains buy-in  (people willinging opting in)15:57
=== ivoks_ is now known as ivoks
sladensabdfl: but I'd like to speak to you in more detail about that if I try and turn the draft/sugegstion into someting better15:58
sabdflsladen: agreed, nonetheless, i won't support a proposal that effectively binds Canonical to publish all of its data15:58
cjwatsonI don't think sladen's proposal as mailed does that, FWIW15:58
sladen(I didn't think it did either)15:59
cjwatsonit indicates that the findings should be published, but I assume that in most cases we'd be acting on the findings anyway ...15:59
cjwatsonand certainly findings != all data15:59
cjwatsonanyway, we're up against the wall15:59
cjwatsonsladen: thanks for bringing this up, I'd like to see it get attention from statisticians16:00
cjwatsonthe base-2 discussion is proceeding by mail and looks to be a healthy thread (and IIRC it's also something the TB has discussed in the past)16:00
cjwatson[TOPIC] chair for next meeting16:00
MootBotNew Topic:  chair for next meeting16:00
cjwatsonwhose turn is it?16:00
Keybukthat depends on whose on the board surely?16:01
mdzI chaired the previous meeting iirc16:01
cjwatsonKeybuk: the next meeting is before the vote ends16:01
Keybukcjwatson: the vote was supposed to end and results be announced at the next meeting, no?16:01
cjwatson15:35 <sabdfl> on the TB election, any objections to running the vote from August 17-31st?16:02
cjwatsonso I think we're just going to run late16:02
Keybukoh, I missed that16:02
sabdflWe don't need a full two weeks, I don't think16:02
cjwatsoneight days is a bit short16:02
Keybuktwo weeks seems a reasonable time16:02
cjwatsonparticularly in the northern summer holidays16:02
cjwatsonso let's just stay with what sabdfl suggested and we'll just have an extra meeting with the current board16:03
sabdfl+116:03
Keybukmdz: Aren't you and I supposed to be somewhere the week of the next TB meeting?16:03
cjwatsonso I make it Keybuk's turn ... oh16:03

Keybuksabdfl: that's obviously up to you - but that's my understanding ;)16:05
sabdfli thought that's what we agreed, yes16:05

mathiaz[TOPIC] Asterisk16:09
MootBotNew Topic:  Asterisk16:09
mathiazDaviey: what's the state of the stack?16:09
DavieyOkay.. i've built 1.6 in ppa16:10
mathiazDaviey: did you come up with a list of packages to be updated?16:10
mathiazDaviey: and which order?16:10
Davieyhttps://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-voip/+archive/asterisk-1.6-testing16:10
Davieypwlib as shown there, and openh32316:10
Davieywithout those being updated, asterisk will not get past the ./configure stage of the packaing build16:10
mathiazDaviey: are these packages in Debian unstable?16:11
Davieyyes. although i used debian svn packaging iirc.. but yes, similar or same as unstable16:11
mathiazDaviey: AFAICT pwlib is not part of unstable16:12
soren1.10.10-3 is in unstable.16:12
sorenand testing.. :)16:13
mathiazah right - my bad - I was doing an incorrect search16:13
Davieyhttp://packages.debian.org/sid/libpt-1.10.1016:13
MootBotLINK received:  http://packages.debian.org/sid/libpt-1.10.1016:13
mathiazDaviey: 1.10.10-2ubuntu3 is in karmic16:14
* ivoks has too big lag, so i can't participate in the meeting16:14
mathiazDaviey: is 1.10.10-3 required to build asterisk 1.6?16:15
Davieymathiaz: I'm not sure if the current binary is busted due to needing rebuilt, or if it needed upgrading.16:15
Davieyrebuild*16:15
Davieyhmm.. interesting.. http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/o/openh323/openh323_1.18.0.dfsg-9build1/changelog <-- openh323 was another issue.. and that has just been rebuilt16:17
Davieyso that is probably no longer an issue16:17
mathiazDaviey: does that mean that all build dependency of asterisk 1.6 are there in karmic?16:17
Davieypwlib needs either upgrading or a rebuild16:18
DavieyI'm not sure which tbh.. i think it is a merge it needs.16:19
Davieywe last merged ~23 Jun 200816:19
mathiazDaviey: why is the current pwlib package broken in karmic?16:19
DavieyWhen trying to build asterisk against it, it complains of MANY BOOL linker errors16:20
Davieyconsidering debian are quite active (http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/p/pwlib/pwlib_1.10.10-3/changelog), ours would seem quite stale.16:20
mathiazDaviey: right. I'm not sure I completly understand what debian did in their last upload.16:22
mathiazDaviey: I'm not sure that merging is the best option as it seems it may require a library transition16:23
mathiazDaNEW Package libpt-dev -> libpt-1.10.10-dev & libpt-1.10.10-doc16:23
mathiazIt seems that the pwlib package state needs to be sorted out first16:23
mathiazin order to be able to build asterisk correctly16:24
mathiazDaviey: is the pwlib package from the ubuntu-voip team a straight rebuild of Debian?16:24
Davieyhmm16:24
mathiazDaviey: or does it contain the ubuntu diff?16:24
Davieystraight build from Debian16:25
mathiazDaviey: right - so I'd suggest to look into a merge of pwlib16:25
mathiazDaviey: may be the ubuntu patches have been integrated in debian16:25
mathiazDaviey: or figure out why the current version of karmic is broken and try to fix it16:25
mathiazDaviey: contact the last ubuntu uploader and merger could be helpfull16:26
Davieymathiaz: tbh, we (as in Ubuntu) don't do a whole lot for the Asterisk stuff.16:26
mathiazDaviey: I'd also recommend to delete openh323 from the PPA16:26
mathiazDaviey: to make sure it's not needed in karmic.16:27
Davieywell i'll experiment building locally, and repush a good result.16:27
mathiazDaviey: ok.16:27
mathiazAnything else to add on this topic?16:27
Davieyhttp://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/a/asterisk/asterisk_1.4.21.2~dfsg-3ubuntu2/changelog <-- the last *ubuntu upload was from a debian.org email address :)16:27

mathiazWhat's the next step then?16:30
DavieyI need to introduce translations.. and i am happy that won't be too much of an issue16:31
nijabamathiaz: test and upload?16:31
mathiazTo get a new package in the archive: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages16:31
Davieyfortune doesn't have native support for other languages.. however, it won't be a major issue.. we just request it in a slightl;y different way16:31
nijabaDaviey: you can count on me for testing.  I've just sent a request to join the team so that I'll get email from the ml16:31
DavieyI was thinking of including a shell script to get a locale fortune, with the package.. comments?16:32
Davieynijaba: it's your pet project, do you want to be the team owner?16:32
nijabaDaviey: I don't care, but if you feel more confortable that way, go ahead16:32
Davieyi'm easy :)  either way.. I just don't want to tred on your toes.16:33
mathiazDaviey: there were some discussions about integrating with update-motd16:33
nijabaDaviey: not even close to my toes :P16:33
mathiazit seems that more testing from the PPA can be done at this stage.16:33
mathiazanything else to add on this topic?16:33
Davieymathiaz: yeah.. so should my package ship the script to return a locale correct (or default to english if no translation), or should that be seperate?16:33
mathiazDaviey: I don't know for now. It may be better to ask the question on the ubuntu-server@ ml outlining what the issue is.16:34
DavieyAs in.. should that script incluide the update-motd magic?16:34
mathiazlet's move on as we have other things to talk about16:34

mathiazttx: part of the SRU process is to be able to reproduce it16:55
zulthe ones selected right should be SRUable16:55
mathiazttx: if it's not possible to create a good SRU report then we'll remove the bug from the accepted bugs16:56
mathiazit seems that we still need to decide for which release they should nominated16:56
ttxthen I'd do hardy for both.16:56
mathiazttx: both == all the three bugs?16:57
ttxyes16:57
ttxzul: the vblade bugs importance isn't set16:57
mathiazttx: ok - I'll nominate all the three bugs for hardy16:58
mathiazttx: and accept them16:58
ttxso the idea is tat everyone should review the list ahead of the meeting and propose his favorites in the meeting. this is not just a game between mathiaz and me :)16:59
zulheh16:59
ttxWe'll also review nominations on server packages in general, we just miss the report as of now.16:59
mathiazttx: right. We're missing a couple of reports/bug lists for now16:59
ttxwell, zul played too.16:59
nijabacould mathiaz add the list to the server meeting announce, asking for people to review prior to the meeting?16:59
ttxnijaba: good idea17:00
mathiaznijaba: sure - I can update the mailing list announcement17:00
ttx"SRU poker"17:00
mathiazRight - so I've nominated the three bugs17:00
mathiaznext week I'll try to get the other list done17:00
mathiaz(the list of server bugs nominated for supported releases)17:01
nijabattx: I don't have a translation for "Pouilleux Masacreur (de bug)", but it is more like it :D17:01
mathiazand also the accepted candidates list17:01
mathiazso that we can review the state of all the SRUs17:01

* Daviey is happy.. that is all17:03
mathiazok - let's wrap up17:04
DavieyBefore we wrap up the meeting, can i throw one more thing out there?  For ubuntu-server-tips.. we needs many more suggestions.. it's kinda sparse at the moment.17:04
Davieysparse = boring and perhaps useless.17:04
mathiazDaviey: right - I'd suggest to ask for more contributions on the ubuntu-server@ ml and may be a blog post17:04

Riddellbit of an agenda here https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Meetings19:02
Riddellanyone here for membership?19:02
Riddelllet's crack on then19:02
Riddell"Review/Approved Kubuntu Netbook plan"19:02
RiddellScottK: you item19:02
ScottKIt's mostly in place now19:03
ScottKThe idea is to have the kde4libs/kdebase/kdeplasma-addons patching done by FF.19:03
ScottKPlasma-netbook itself will stay in heavy development probably until beta19:03
RiddellI added plasma-netbook to the seed as you noticed, hope that's ok, but it is the main feature so I think it's important to get testing in19:04
ScottKI want to make sure the KC and everyone is cool with htaqt19:04
ScottKthat even19:04
ScottKRiddell: I also did the kubunt-meta upload so it should be on tomorrow's ISO19:04
Riddelldunno what happened to my upload of that19:04
RiddellI'll make some ISOs tonight for early testing probably19:04
ScottKPeople who want a traditional plasma, but the enhanced smallness for a netbook can do a regular desktop install and then install k-n-d-s19:05
ScottKQuestions?19:05
Riddellit would be nice to have a GUI way to chose which plasma shell to start19:05
NightroseScottK: how much space is currently required for the netbook remix? i currently (again) can't upgrade my install because the 4 gig hard disk is maxed - are small hard disk taken into account currently?19:05
Riddellalthough that's not very important, the main way to chose would be by install media19:05
seeleScottK: you might want to consider changing some other defaults, such as removing status bars from some applications and maybe reverting to icon only toolbars19:05
seeleso things fit better19:05
ScottKNightrose: It should be ~ the same as desktop for disk space.19:06
ScottKplasma-netbook is lighter though and runs noticeably faster on netbooks19:06
* ScottK is using it rightnow19:06
Nightroseok - any plans to drop a few dependencies?19:06
ScottKseele: Agreed.19:06
ScottKWe dropped the ones that obviously didn't make sense19:07
* Riddell would be happy to drop openoffice19:07
* ScottK is open to suggestions19:07
apachelogger+1 on dropping ooo :P19:07
ScottKRiddell: We kind of need that I think19:07
apacheloggerScottK: did you remove ksystemlog yet?19:07
ScottKapachelogger: I don't think so19:07
ScottKapachelogger: No.19:08
ScottKIt should go.19:08
RiddellI tried to factor out the seeds into a common one but failed, I'll probably look at that again sometime since colin said it worked for him19:08
ScottK+1 on common seeds19:08
apachelogger+119:08
ScottKEspecially if I don't have to do it.19:08
ScottKKNE should be a chance for upstream to showcase the power of plasma on netbooks.  We are dependent on them delivering a more complete plasma-netbook.19:09
ScottKAny other questions?19:09
apacheloggerand usable19:09
ScottKYes19:09
Riddellwe should discuss the OO question sometime (but not today I think)19:10
apacheloggerRiddell: well, we have no replacement, do we?19:10
ScottKOK19:10
ScottKkate ftw19:10
ScottKapachelogger: No.  We don't.19:10
Riddellno sign of andreas-wenning on "Status on Qt 4.5.2 and KDE 4.3.0 in jaunty-backports"19:10
RiddellScottK: know anything about that?19:10
ScottKRiddell: I'm a little nervous about a Qt backport.  I think we need to test outside a KDE environment19:11
* ScottK recalls that not going well before.19:11
seele(brb 3 minutes, switching laundry)\19:11
RiddellQt backport is not ideal, although it seems to be what's expected of us by upstream (it includes a load of security fixes)19:11
ScottKwell a backport doesn't help on security.19:11
macoi thought since netbooks are mainly online-service terminals, Google Apps or Writely would be what people used...19:12
Nightrose-1 maco19:12
Nightrose(at least I do)19:12
apacheloggermaco: that doesn't mean that they will not be off from time to time19:12
Nightroseeh19:12
Nightrose+119:12
ScottKmaco: One differentiation between us and Google is that while we want to support that, we don't want to support only that.19:12
macook19:13
ScottKThe smallest netbook HD I've seen recently is 8GB ssd.  I'm not particularly focused on installed size.19:13
* Nightrose has 4 gb :(19:13
ScottK4GB is tight19:13
Nightroseit is very tight19:14
apacheloggergood thing we got LZMA :P19:14
Nightrosewhich is why i was hpoing for the netbook remix to be lighter19:14
* ScottK did install and run in a 4gb partition for testing.19:14
apacheloggerNightrose: I don't see how we could make it much lighter19:14
ScottKNightrose: OK.  Let's take the discussion out of the meeting and talk about what can go.19:14
Nightroseok19:15
* ScottK grumbles about mysql on a netbook.19:15
Riddellthen the big topic is "Default apps: web browser"19:15
Nightroseapachelogger: well i could get rid of all of kontact for example19:15
Nightrosedon't use it on the netbook19:15
Nightrosesame for ooo19:15
Nightrosebut yea - later19:15
ScottKRiddell: My suggestion is don't decide yet.19:15
ScottKArora is better behaved recently.19:16
RiddellScottK: will things change in the future to let us make a better decision?19:16
Nightrosemy suggestion: stick with konqueror if we will go back for karmik+119:16
ScottKAre we expecting any new arora releases?19:16
* Nightrose hates switching19:16
apachelogger+119:16
ScottKArora seems to be moving pretty quickly, so I think beta is the right time to decide for sure.19:16
seeleso what happens when konqueror gets fixed in the next year.. will we switch again?19:17
macodoes arora work with swfdec/gnash yet?19:17
apacheloggerarora will never get as tight KDE integration as konqueror gets... so19:17
ScottKseele: I would say yes, but I also think the risk of that is low.19:17
Riddellseele: I think so yes since that would be the best option, but I think it's important to be able to browse useful websites in the mean time19:17
seelehow large is the aurora development team? when i first heard of it, it was just one guy19:18
ScottKapachelogger: This is true, but it's primary purpose is to browse web pages.  It needs to do that.19:18
apacheloggerwell, I said it before, and I will repeat myself19:18
apacheloggerif we want to get best browsing experience we _need_ to go with firefox19:18
seeleyes19:18
macoi dont like the idea of a default browser that doesnt work with the free flash implementations19:18
Nightrose+1 on firefox19:19
macomaking users choose between default and non-free?19:19
ScottKapachelogger: Well we didn't have the netbook discussion today.19:19
apacheloggerI mean generally19:19
apacheloggerthe argument that arora renders better than konqueror is quite bogus since firefox renders better than arora for sure19:19
macoi prefer firefox too...and the theming stuff can make it match alright...19:19
ScottKFF won't fit on the CD for desktop19:19
apacheloggerScottK: we currently have half the GTK stack on the CD due to packagekit19:19
apacheloggerso I am quite confident firefox will fit on it as well19:20
ScottKWell we'd need the other half19:20
claydohI say stick with Konqueror for now, no one seems to have aproblem with installing ff on their own19:20
ScottKAlthough if we go that way we should add blueman too.19:20
macoapachelogger: theoretically, webkit renders better than gecko and has more pretty effects and is faster. in my usage, firefox is faster.19:20
seelecan we add a link in the kmenu that says firefox and then the first time someone clicks it, it installs it?19:20
macopackagekit pulled in gtk? why?19:20
apacheloggerqwebkit != webkit archive-wise19:20
apacheloggerqwebkit got issues of its own AFAIK19:20
macoapachelogger: yeah thats how it seems...19:21
apacheloggerseele: could do, but do we want that?19:21
seeleapachelogger: save space on the netbook yet still offer an easy way to get a good browser without having to go through kpackagekit?19:21
ScottKKind of like the non-free helpers for Kaffeine19:22
macoumm...my plasma just switched from the pretty light grey theme to a black one19:22
seelethe premise of the netbook is that it is something small and light and has internet access19:22
macowithout me telling it to19:22
ryanakcaScottK: Won't fit even without the recommends?19:22
apacheloggerseele: well, we could squeeze firefox on teh netbook since the space constraint is not as low19:22
RiddellI really havn't found any webpages that firefox does better than arora19:22
ScottKapachelogger: What was the google thing?19:23
apacheloggergoogle gears19:23
macoRiddell: have you checked the spreadubuntu site? ;)19:23
apacheloggerkind of like a offline stoarge for websites19:23
seelewhat user agent does arora have configured? banking sites might be a problem if they are checking for IE, Firefox, Safari specifically19:23
apacheloggerso gmail can be synced offline, which means that you still have access to the interface and mails etc.19:23
macoid call it safari19:23
Riddellseele: webkit/safari19:24
yuriy_workRiddell: neither arora nor konqueror show guitar chords placed correctly, FF does19:24
seeledoes it pass the acid2 test?19:24
* seele doesnt remember if webkit does or not19:24
apacheloggerseele: on that regard: since my bank requries JAVA and arora apparently doesn't wanna use that plugin ...19:24
macowebkit was the first o19:24
maco*to19:24
ScottKIt seems clear there is no consensus.  I think the KC should decide if they are going to decide today.19:24
apacheloggerwebkit != qwebkit19:24
macoseele: webkit passes all acid tests. no others do19:24
yuriy_workI don't think arora really fixes anything for us compared to firefox19:24
yuriy_workit's even more of a memory hog19:25
macoapachelogger: whats better qwebkit or webkitgtk?19:25
macoyeah um arora is slow19:25
apacheloggerI wouldn't know19:25
apacheloggerin either case qwebkit is a snapshot of webkit source with Qt stuff19:26
apacheloggerso whatever applies to webkit might or might not apply to Qt's webkit19:26
Riddellwell19:26
* rgreening is back.. sorry had a conf call19:26
Riddellshall we decide before beta then as ScottK suggested?19:27
apachelogger+119:27
seelewhat is going to change?19:27
seelea few bugs which aren't why we want to -1 arora in the first place?19:27
Riddellhopefully stuff like a password manager which is pretty important19:28
apacheloggeralso +119:28
rgreening+119:28
ScottKWe should also have KDE 4.3.1 so Konqueror should be better too19:28
apacheloggerRiddell: that still is worth nothing if it is not kwallet19:28
apachelogger...and since the xdg wallet is not yet available...19:28
seelei dont think anything theyre doing to fix konqueror is going to be out in 4.3.119:28
Riddellapachelogger: it's planned to be the new kwallet/gnome cross desktop one19:28
rgreeningIs it something we can backport?19:28
seelethey arent even blogging about what they started working on because they dont want to provide any time expectations19:29
apacheloggerRiddell: and that will be reliably by the time of beta?19:29
* seele would like to see it for 4.4 but no one knows19:29
seeleis firefox going to support the new wallet?19:29
* apachelogger got funny grammar today :D19:29
apacheloggerseele: unlikely, firefox is made for windows19:29
* ScottK just tried to access a http auth protected web site with arora and totally failed.19:29
Riddellfirefox won't look at it yet19:29
seelei wonder how hard it would be to write a plugin to support the wallet and then ship it by default19:30
rgreeningany plugin api documentated to work from?19:30
rgreeningif it's documented, kwallet, adblock, etc would be good to start19:30
yuriy_workare there bugs filed upstream for the problems with konqueror that make this all an issue in the first place?19:31
apacheloggerarora does not support native plugins!?19:31
apacheloggeronly nsplugins19:31
rgreeningyuk19:31
rgreeningshow stopper19:31
apacheloggerand TBH I have only seen flash work19:31
apacheloggeras mentioned earlier JAVA fails for me completely19:31
rgreeningflash works sometimes in arora in my experience. About as much as in konq19:31
Riddellflash works just as well for me in arora as in any other browser (not great, no sound)19:33
* apachelogger got sounds \\o/19:33
yuriy_workI would like to see a list of bugs in konq that motivate the need for another browser19:33
Riddellyuriy_work: slashdot doesn't work19:33
apacheloggeryuriy_work: query bugs.kde.org19:33
apacheloggerthere are a lot of bugs19:33
macofree flash doesnt work!19:33
macooinly non-free19:33
apacheloggerbut they might not be valid anymore19:34
apachelogger...19:34
Riddelllet's move on, we can decide at beta19:34
* apachelogger would like to take a vote though :P19:34
Riddellapachelogger: a vote without deciding?19:34
seelea vote to vote later?19:34
apacheloggerwhat seele said... I'd just like to do some vote ;-)19:35

rgreeningsorry Riddell :(19:37
apacheloggerone thing less to discuss at beta time19:37
RiddellI note ScottK hasn't voted :)19:37
rgreeningI've been using it default, but no adblock, no wallet are show stoppers for me.19:37
* ScottK isn't on KC and doesn't have a strong opinion19:37
seeleScottK declined to run for council for a reason ;)19:37
rgreeningheh19:38
Riddellso unless things change notably by beta time that seems fairly decided19:38
ScottKNow I'd have to say no, but who knows what gets fixed19:38
Riddellshall we move onto the next controvertial topic?19:38
apacheloggeryes!19:38
ScottKSo switch it back?19:38
apacheloggerthat is fun :D19:38
Riddelldefault IRC client anyone?19:39
seelehow many of the requests have the quassel team gotten through?19:39
macoit still says Buffer19:39
seelei saw somewhere tehy were going to try an amarok patch to get rid of some of the lines?19:39
ScottKI say wait until feature freeze as they are planning on releasing 0.5 before then19:39
Nightrose+1 ScottK19:40
macothat thing that lets you watch all channels at once is the thing i think is totally-awesome about quassel19:40
apacheloggerwhat is currently in their git master which is of interest though?19:40
seelemaco: yes, but it is also an advanced feature which isn't one of our requirements or inclusion19:40
ScottKTheir big styling branch just landed.19:40
seelethe use case is to make it easy for users to get support19:40
seelenot itch a geek bone19:40
ScottKSo I expect a shift back to more basic features soon.19:40
RiddellI tend to favour Konversation, it has more features and really quite a lot of mindshare19:40
macoseele: yes ma'am19:40
Riddellbut if there's a new Quassel coming we can wait and review that19:41
* apachelogger agrees with Riddell at this point19:41
ScottKMy view is we told them what they had to do if they wanted to stay default.  Let's see what's in 0.5 and then decide19:41
macowhere is the list of demands about Quassel?19:41
ScottKIt was email cc to kubuntu-devel19:41
* seele coughs19:41
apacheloggermaco: somewhere on kubuntu-devel I think, possibly also in the spec19:41
seelerequests, not demands ;P19:41

Riddell"Status and plan for system-config-printer"19:43
* ScottK senses a rough consensus for waiting for 0.5 to decide19:43
seeleapachelogger: i would hope that we would consider ourselves participants in the project with recommendations, not demanding clients19:43
ScottKAny objections?19:43
Riddellseele: did you add that?19:43
seeleRiddell: yeah.. is shtylman here?19:43

seeleso the fixing the avatar thing in kickoff was declined by upstream19:45
Riddellseele: what was that?19:46
apacheloggerhuh, how so?19:46
seeleRiddell: a patch jonathan thomas did to align the avatar in kickoff better19:46
seeleaaron didnt like the layout or something19:46
RiddellI don't think I have an avatar in kickoff19:47
seelei thought it looked better than what we have now, and the way aaron wanted it done can't currently be done because of layout issues19:47
seeleRiddell: not next to search? did you never configure one maybe?19:47
apacheloggerRiddell: you'd need to set the user pic in systemsettings19:47
seelethe problem is the avatar is next to search, not your name, which is silly19:47
Riddellstrangely I've never felt the need to set one19:47
seeleso my question was if this is something we want to maintain like our other kickoff patches19:48
seelealthough, aaron doesnt seem to remember our other patches so maybe we should resubmit them again19:48
apacheloggerwe have other patches?19:48
seele(even though they were declined more than once)19:48

seeleso we should get a final vote so i can figure out what to do with the bug19:54
* rgreening thinks we need to have a paper cuts thing each cycle for Kubuntu19:55
RiddellI think we should keep the KDE logo because it highlights our position as being the premier KDE distro19:55
* apachelogger wants to note that a lot of paper cuts get fixed without becoming papercuts19:55
seelergreening: i think ubuntu is planning on doing it every release, so it would make sense for kubuntu to try and do it19:55
rgreeningI like the idea of a new logo.19:55
seelemy goal was 10 papercuts, not sure if we will make it19:55
rgreeningcoo19:55

seelemaco: not sure.. maybe 4 or 5 with fixed committed or making progress?19:56
rgreeningTHe option to change the icon is in the app launcher settings19:56

seelei cant figure out how to see completed bugs in launchpad while staying in the kde tag for hundredpapercuts19:57
* ScottK likes the KDE logo19:57
Riddellalso I don't think a Kubuntu logo is any better usability wise, to non-techy users both a pretty abstract designs which don't indicate anything to do with "application menu"19:57
macoseele: advanced search. choose fix-released and type "kde" in the tags field19:57
rgreeningHow about having some icons the user can choose to change on thier own then?19:57
seeleRiddell: right, the only thing really saving us is the familiar position in the bottom left corner19:57
Riddellhttp://tinyurl.com/lbxd5b19:58
seelergreening: an alternative was to offer a way for users to change the icon, but that would require someone to be able to code that and it is bigger than a papercut19:58
rgreeningseele that exists19:58
rgreeningright click the kmenu19:58

rgreeningRiddell: cool20:09
ScottKBack20:09
RiddellI think it's a great improvement over the  million or none popups choice I had before20:10
apacheloggerRiddell: where would it be found packagewise?20:10
rgreeningnice to see our discussions at UDS provided something useful for Kubuntu from ayatana :)20:10
Riddellapachelogger: plasma-widget-indicatordisplay20:10
ScottKIt's actually the Koversation patches I'm concerned about.20:10
rgreeningand kudos to agateau for20:10
rgreeningpulling it off.20:10
Riddellit should go into KDE extragear when it's more stable20:10
ScottKMy understanding of the agreement we had at UDS was that we'd provide an indicator for non-KDE apps that were designed to use it (e.g. Pidgin), but that we wouldn't get in front of our upstreams in Kubuntu on this.20:11
Riddelland of course it's not final, if everyone hates it we can remove it20:11
rgreening+1 ScottK20:11
ScottKagateau was going to come up with some kind of 'ayatana option' for people who wanted such stuff.20:11
ScottKRiddell: I think we should leave it due to Ubuntu apps that expect such a thing.  I don't think we should be patching our stuff to use it by default.20:12
rgreeningwe shouldn't be patching apps to support it, as it should be at the library level for KDE stuff... I would thinlk. And kdelibs is already patched to adhere to the agreed upon standard (I believe)20:12
ScottKrgreening: That's for notifications.  For this there is no standard20:13
RiddellScottK: ayatana is the upstream for the widget, and we should treat them as any other upstream20:13
Riddellright there's no standard here (yet)20:13
rgreeningoh right...20:13
* rgreening keeps mixing up indicator and notification20:13
Riddellaurelien has been looking at making it part of knotify rather than apps directly20:13
rgreeninglol20:13
ScottKRiddell: For the widget, that's fine.20:13
* apachelogger has no clue what indications and notifications are :P20:14
ScottKI just think that the fact that many apps in the Ubuntu repo expect such a thing is one reason in favor, not a free pass.20:14
ScottKIf the konversation patches are temporary so there is something to test with, I think it's fine.20:15
* apachelogger doesn't get it to work20:15
macoapachelogger: when you get an IM or get highlighted on IRC you get a popup notification. if you werent lookign when it came up, you may miss it when you get back, so it goes to the indicator applet which is like the voicemail of notifications20:15
rgreeningI'm inclined to agree with ScottK20:15
macoapachelogger: kinda like how the systray now has that i that turns into a number for how many notifications you missed in kde20:15
apacheloggerso it is a duplication of the systray notification just implemented by canonical?20:16
RiddellScottK: the blocker to getting it into konversation upstrema is he needs to fix the patches to make it an optional thing, once that's done it'll be sent directly there20:16
macoapachelogger: basically20:16
rgreeningI'm hoping that agateau can add support to the existing KDE 'i' indicator for the Gtk/Gnpome stuff... (assuming it's possible)20:16
Riddellrgreening: yes that's done20:17
rgreeningcool20:17
RiddellI blogged about it20:17
* rgreening has had his head burried in work20:17
apacheloggercool, doesn't seem to work :S20:17
apacheloggeroh well, this gives me a headache20:18
Riddellapachelogger: someone has to ping you while you don't have konversation in focus20:18
macodidnt someone say knotifications wre going to stop doing the wall-of-text thing and start showing one at a time instead back when we were at uds? that hasnt hapened20:18
apacheloggerRiddell: just did that20:18
apacheloggerno indication there20:18
ScottKmaco: Yes.  That was (I thought) supposed to be in 4.3, but it didn't make it.20:19
rgreeningdang20:19
RiddellScottK: you're saying we should send patches upstream before using them ourselves, but (at least in this case) we wanted to make sure it was actually working (and we found several issues in the packaging and adding) which is usually a pre-requesit for upstream inclusion, so catch 22 because our testing method is inside the distro20:20
ScottKRiddell: If it's just for testing and upstream is open to the idea, I don't mind.20:20
macoScottK: oh20:20
ScottKRiddell: What I don't want is us having to maintain a stack of patches.20:21
apacheloggerRiddell: doesn't work20:21
RiddellScottK: I havn't spoken to upstream, because it's not very interesting to them until it's working, but I'll do that tomorrow and if it's not upstream toot sweet I'll be as disappointed as anyone20:21
ScottKRiddell: Also testing can be done in a PPA.20:22
ScottKAs long as it's not on by default and upstreamed or dropped before release, I'm OK.20:22
apacheloggerhm20:22
ScottKI thought the way the notification patches were handled was just right.20:22
apacheloggerRiddell: the applet is by default on the panel?20:22
Riddellapachelogger: should be for now yes20:23
apacheloggerRiddell: is that going to change?20:23
Riddellapachelogger: it's waiting for feedback, so depending on the feedback it may20:23
RiddellI think I'd prefer it inside the systray for example20:23
apacheloggerI find it a waste of panel real estate20:23
ScottKInside the systray would be better.20:24
* ScottK thought it was going to be a systray app20:24
Riddelland in the hidden part of the systray until it has something to notify about20:24
apacheloggerit should be sharing that "i" with the normal KDE notifications TBH20:24
macoapachelogger: agreed. im guessing the "how" of that was problematic20:24
Riddellanyway, we can gather feedback and send it to aurelien20:25
ScottKWell that "i" should also hide when it has nothing to say20:25
apacheloggertrue20:25
Riddelland I'll make sure me and/or him talk to the konversation people20:25
* rgreening agrees with that20:25
apacheloggerso20:25
apacheloggerI am wondering20:25
apacheloggerRiddell: why is it going to extragear and not kdelibs?20:25
rgreeningauto hide until needed is best for anything in systray20:25
ScottKRiddell: So is it agreed that this stuff should either be upstreamed or we don't ship it (for release)?20:25
Riddellapachelogger: the applet isn't really libs material :)20:26
Riddellkdeplasma-addons could have it20:26
RiddellScottK: yes I agree20:26
apacheloggerwell, the general communication and stuff20:26
NightroseScottK: it was _very_ annoying to see my systray jump around for every notifivation before 4.320:26
Nightroseso I am quite happy with the way it is now in 4.320:26
Nightroseie i not going away20:26
ScottKRiddell: OK.  That was my main concern20:26
Riddellapachelogger: knotify would be best for those parts yes20:26
apacheloggerRiddell: I would very much prefer that over extragear20:27
apacheloggerbecause the extragear concept sounds like how gnome implemented notifications20:27
rgreeninggood point Nightrose...20:27
Nightroseit was very distracting also20:28
Riddellany other business?20:28
Riddellmaco: do you have any other business?20:28
* ScottK defers to seele in the 'i'20:28
ScottKin/on20:28
seelehmm?20:28
apacheloggeriBug20:28
apacheloggerRiddell: plasma-desktop crashes after some time20:28
ScottKplasma-netbook is pretty stable, although 'feature limited'.20:29
Riddellapachelogger: it's been super stable for me20:29
apachelogger*shrug*20:29
apacheloggermaybe it is related to my not-workingness20:29
Riddellplasma-netbook and kwin-mid has some obvious bugs I'm assuming are known about20:29
macooh yeah can i apply for kubuntu membership?20:29
apacheloggersure20:29
Riddellooh there's an idea maco20:29
ScottK+1 for maco20:30
apacheloggerI suppose we have a quorum20:30
macoi missed at the beginning20:30
Riddellmaco is already an Ubuntu member so has a slightly out-of-date wiki page somewhere20:30
seele+1 maco20:30
macohttp://wiki.kubuntu.org/MacoMorgan20:30
macoi slightly updated it during the meeting :P20:30
seelewe will stealz the ubuntu devs!20:30
apacheloggerhm20:30
ScottKNeed to get her to be a dev first20:30
macoseele: i'z not ubuntu dev :P20:30
* apachelogger reads wiki page because maco updated it20:30
Nightrose+1 for maco of course20:30
Riddellnobody even have a question before voting?20:31
macohaha20:31
apacheloggersure we have20:31
apacheloggerso20:31
apacheloggermaco: why kubuntu?20:31
rgreening+120:32
* Nightrose could probably come up with one if needsbe ;-)20:32
Riddellwill it cause discort in the maco household if we slag off pulseaudio too much? :)20:32
macoremember when alberto committed a way to let you turn zapping on in kubuntu but then it ws rejected in ubuntu? was talking to ScottK about that and he pointed out that if i actually like control i should try kde20:32
rgreeningmaco is teh awesome20:32
macoRiddell: dude, i hear the rants about pulseaudio and alsa from him much more than from you guys20:33
* apachelogger only rants about l10n20:33
apacheloggermaco: what do you think about l10n in kubuntu?20:33
* apachelogger hands ScottK a cookie20:33
Nightrosemaco: do we have enough women in kubuntu?20:33
* ScottK rants about ~ppax revisions in uploads to the archive.20:33
* apachelogger hands ScottK another cookie20:33
RiddellScottK: tsk, who would do a think like that20:33
macoapachelogger: i think itd be nice if setting it to use spanish first, english second, andjapanese third didnt result in any japanese showing at all20:33
ScottKThat and 92 unread emails since I last looked.20:34
* rgreening thinks we need to teach seele to program20:34
macoapachelogger: i dont know how there werent english transations for some strings there20:34
apacheloggerRiddell: Nightrose probably would, if she could20:34
Nightroselikely20:34
apacheloggermaco: en_US?20:34
seelergreening: why when i could be doing other things?20:34
Nightrosewhat again?20:34
macoapachelogger: aye20:34
apacheloggermight be rosetta related problems20:34
rgreening:)20:34
* seele had several cs courses in uni you know :P20:34
apacheloggerthough in general that rationale is quite odd :P20:35
* rgreening did not know that about seele.20:35
macoi thought seele could program and didnt like to20:35
apacheloggermaco: if you were an animal, what woudl you be?20:35
seelemaco: basically20:35
rgreeninglol20:35
seelealthough i'm pretty out of practice by now so i wouldnt be much use20:35
rgreeningI've not met a programmer who didn't like ot program... My world is shattered20:35
apacheloggerseele: would always be enough for python coding :P20:35
macohaha20:35
* rgreening glares at apachelogger20:36
ScottKseele: Your couple of CS courses at university are probably more than a decade more recent than mine.20:36
RiddellI fear this is getting silly20:36
Nightrosergreening: add a second one to that list then ;-)20:36
macoapachelogger: what rationale?20:36
RiddellI say + 1 for maco20:36
seeleScottK: i had c++ so i'm out of date with the new kids who learn java only20:36
apacheloggermaco: the one with es-en-jp20:36
macoRiddell: im giggling20:36
ScottKseele: I learned Pascal, COBOL, and ForTran.20:36
apacheloggersince en should technically be complete there would not be a point in jp being last20:36
macoapachelogger: oh. well i got to see layers of fubar when i had those l10n settings on my computer20:36
Riddellapachelogger, rgreening: got votes?20:36
rgreening+1 from me for maco20:37
macoScottK: yikes20:37
seeleScottK: lol i didnt realise you were *that* old ;)20:37

* apachelogger hands maco membership cookies20:37
rgreeningseele: I did assembly on PDP-1120:38
Riddellany other business?20:38
* rgreening is almost as old as ScottK20:38
rgreeningnope. Not here...20:38
apacheloggeranyone got great ideas as to what to do about networking?20:38
seeleassembly is still a cs requirement i think20:38
* maco superglues merlin beards to rgreening and ScottK20:38
macoseele: yes. i had to do mips asm20:38
apacheloggerrecently networkmanager was bumped to 0.8 in karmic, which is of course not supported by knetworkmanager20:38
apacheloggerhence completely broken networking20:38
apacheloggeragain20:38
Riddellapachelogger: asac and awe are looking into it20:38
rgreeningStupid NetworkMangler20:38
apacheloggerRiddell: what would be the outcome of that?20:39
RiddellI showed them the code and they've said they'll get it working again20:39
apacheloggerthem fixing knetworkmanager up for 0.8 or downgrading20:39
apacheloggeroh, that sounds good to me20:39
ScottKseele: Yes.  My assembly language was modern.  It was Z80.20:39
Riddellfixing knetworkmanager up20:39
apacheloggerthough expect ranting if it doesn't get done :P20:39
apacheloggeranother business I have20:39
apacheloggernuno recently mentioned that kubuntu didn't sign up for the KDE branding stuff they started a month or two ago20:40
Riddellyeah we need to make sure they don't drop it, but awe (Tony Espy) e-mailed me yesterday about it so he should be onto it20:40
ScottKRiddell: NM 0.8 means bluetooth DUN support.  This is pretty huge for netbook.  Any chances of it working with kdebluetooth?20:40
Riddellmm, we didn't?20:40
apacheloggerapparently not20:40
* ScottK thought we did.20:40
* apachelogger too :D20:40
apacheloggerso everyone though we did but in fact no one signed us up :D20:40
apacheloggers/though/thought20:40
rgreeningdoh20:40
ScottKaction to maco to go hunt down shtylman and make him apply.20:40
RiddellI can talk to him to ask what that would entail20:40
rgreening+120:41
ScottKeven better20:41
apacheloggermaybe both?20:41
RiddellScottK: I'd expect that NM takes care of the bluetooth side if it has the appropriate UI code (although I could be wrong)20:41
macosomeone said 0.8 is supposed to on the u-devel list, yeah20:41
seeleok all done here?20:42
Riddellyes, thanks all20:42
* Riddell canoes off into the distance20:42
apacheloggerthose canoers20:42

macoScottK: i didnt see any -1's but there were +1's before question-asking20:47
apacheloggermaco: I recommend you put them in your kcookiejar, so they stay fresh ;-)20:47
macoapachelogger: wouldnt that just be kookiejar?20:47
apachelogger/opt/kde-nightly/bin/kcookiejar420:48
apacheloggerapparently not20:48
