bodhi_zazen[TOPIC] Meeting Times00:03
MootBotNew Topic:  Meeting Times00:03
Silver_Fox_ I think the time has been discussed in the mailing list for the last week and want to know what we are going to do.00:04
Silver_Fox_A few ideas were suggested,  lets vote on them00:04
bodhi_zazenLOL00:04
ibuclawSilver_Fox_, we did have the idea of a Eurasian Meeting not so long ago.00:04
ibuclawI think discussion on that stagnated00:05
Silver_Fox_That was rejected as it had lack of interest.   Now the team has grown some more and it has been raised again by new people.00:05
bodhi_zazenI like the idea of alternate meeting times and I think we should try to accommodate them (alternate times)00:05
Silver_Fox_Can we not give it a trial?00:06
bodhi_zazenThe problem has been - lack of interest00:06
bodhi_zazenI would like to see all the people interested in such an alternate time:00:06
Joeb454I'd be happy to attend the later meeting and email logs to somebody to chair a more eurasian meeting time00:06
bodhi_zazenmeet and set a time00:06
bodhi_zazenI will make my best effort to attend00:07
bodhi_zazenI suggest we specify a single contact person to coordinate such meetings with me00:07
bodhi_zazenso that we may review issues before and after such meetings00:07
swoodyI would support an alternate time, so as many members can be a part of the processes that go on with the team00:07
starcraftmanSalutations, I just arrived :)00:07
swoodyas many members as possible**00:08
bodhi_zazenwho here is interested in setting an alternate time for meetings ?00:08
Silver_Fox_o/00:09
bodhi_zazenAnd I really do not see asking those in the Americas to meet at off times00:09
Silver_Fox_+1 bodhi_zazen00:09
lukjad007Hi00:09
bodhi_zazenSilver_Fox_ and Joeb454 want to start coordinating meetings then ?00:09
Silver_Fox_I am happy to do so bodhi_zazen00:10
Joeb454bodhi_zazen: can do - the later meetings suit me better, so I can pass logs to Silver_Fox_ :)00:10
bodhi_zazenI am fine with that and I do not think it involves the whole team until such a time as you two have enough interest to have such meetings00:10
swoodyo/00:10
bodhi_zazenThere is always an interest expressed, would be nice to see it come to fruition =)00:11
ibuclawbefore you know it, we may branch off into two separate main groups ;)00:11
ibuclaw-beginners-eu and -beginners-us00:11
ibuclaw:P00:11
Joeb454lol00:11
Silver_Fox_This way it gets a chance.00:11
bodhi_zazen[AGREED]Start alternate meetings, come to the team once it is starting to happen and again once it is happening =)00:11
MootBotAGREED received: Start alternate meetings, come to the team once it is starting to happen and again once it is happening =)00:11
swoodyNow how would the voting work with two separate meeting times? Would we just tally all votes from both meetings before making a final decision?00:11
ibuclawwell ... that would depend on which meeting goes first00:12
Silver_Fox_We would vote on the same items.00:12
bodhi_zazenswoody: you are putting the cart b4 the horse =)00:12
swoodybodhi_zazen, I'm just curious is all :)00:12
swoodydidn't know if that had already been worked out00:12
bodhi_zazenBut yes, we would ideally have a coordination of votes00:12
swoodyok :)00:13
bodhi_zazendon't get me wrong, I think alternate meeting times would be awesome, we can share an agenda00:13
starcraftmansounds all good to me, more participation is always better.00:14
bodhi_zazenit is just that up to now, although there has been interest, when the rubber hits the pavement alternate meeting times have not happened00:14
bodhi_zazenOnce they start to happen it *should* be trivial to coordinate00:14
bodhi_zazenany other comments on alternate meeting times ?00:14
bodhi_zazenstarcraftman: you ready ?00:15
Silver_Fox_O/00:15
bodhi_zazengo Silver_Fox_00:15
starcraftmanbodhi_zazen: I am, just been sitting quietly, I hope people glanced over my stuff in advance, it's mostly self-explanitory.00:15
bodhi_zazenas long as your comments are  [ON TOPOC] ; no need for o/00:15
Silver_Fox_Would this infact mean we are going down to once a fortnight meetings per whole team or not?00:15
Silver_Fox_Sorry,  once a month.00:16
bodhi_zazenI think once a month meetings are appropriate, in the long run once for the Americas and once for Euroasia00:16
bodhi_zazenwe can meet more often if needed00:17
bodhi_zazen[TOPIC] New Join Us Page00:17
MootBotNew Topic:  New Join Us Page00:17
bodhi_zazenstarcraftman: has drafted a few pages00:17
bodhi_zazenthey look nice00:17
starcraftmanYup, took me some time, its all oriented to new members.00:17
bodhi_zazenare people ready to change or do we need time for review / comments ?00:17
starcraftmanbodhi_zazen: only thing I'00:18
bodhi_zazen[LINK]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/starcraft.man/Sandbox00:18
MootBotLINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/starcraft.man/Sandbox00:18
starcraftmanbodhi_zazen: nvm that comment, darn enter key.00:18
starcraftmanAnyway, thats the new join us page I wrote up. I think its an improvement to the old one that was a bit skimpy. It details all the basic steps new members usually need to go through, and is written from common questions I've gotten.00:19
bodhi_zazencomments ?00:20
starcraftmanI basically just wanted feedback on anything should be improved, if everyone agrees they want to replace old one with it, then I will.00:20
Rocket2DMnThat is a wealth of information man, but what a wall of text00:20
* bodhi_zazen assumes most poeple are reading it for the first time =)00:20
starcraftmanAlso, wanted to know if there are any inactive mentors from masters list I should remove. Like say aj?00:20
* ibuclaw is missing from the Masters column00:20
lukjad007starcraftman I skimmed it, and it looked good :)00:20
Rocket2DMnI think that can be slimmed down a fair amount, and some of the info can be spread to a couple of different pages on the our wiki area00:21
bodhi_zazenaj should be removed until he is more active =)00:21
ibuclawstarcraftman, replace him with me ;)00:21
bodhi_zazenRocket2DMn: are you interested in helping with that ?00:21
starcraftmanRocket2DMn: I guess I can agree, your wall of text is mostly directed at tell us about ya section eh?00:21
Rocket2DMnlol00:22
Rocket2DMnid be happy to help with it, though it may have to wait a couple of weeks00:22
swoodyI'm +1 on the new page00:22
bodhi_zazenanybody else interested in helping with that page ?00:22
swoodyit could be slimmed down a bit, but I think newcomers may find it nice to find all the pertinent info in one spot, too00:23
ibuclawconsidering this was the old page : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/YNU00:23
Rocket2DMnI'm primarily concerned that all that information could be a bit overwhelming for new members00:23
ibuclaw+1 on new page00:23
Rocket2DMnthat's why I said some of it can be spread around too00:23
bodhi_zazen[IDEA] Put new page in place, to be revised by interested parties over next month ?00:23
MootBotIDEA received:  Put new page in place, to be revised by interested parties over next month ?00:23
starcraftmanRocket2DMn:I'll look into moving some of the wiki creation information to its own page, I get what your saying and I think I know how to improve.00:24
Rocket2DMnPerhaps like a summary page similar to what we have now with some of this new stuff added in, then a detailed page for reference00:24
Rocket2DMnThat reference page can be as useful for us as new members.  It's good for new members to come and ask us quesions in here too, it generates good conversation00:24
Rocket2DMnand we can use it to help new users get integrated00:25
Rocket2DMnanyway, just my 2 cents, sounds like others like it00:25
bodhi_zazen[IDEA]Work on draft for next month ?00:25
MootBotIDEA received: Work on draft for next month ?00:25
lukjad007I like it, for one thing, it's comprehensive00:25
swoody+1 lukjad00700:26
bodhi_zazenif we go this second route, who is willing to work on it over the next month ?00:26
Rocket2DMno/00:26
swoodyit does cover almost everything a newcomer could ask, so I'm sure it'll come in very handy00:26
lukjad007I would be willing to help look it over :)00:26
bodhi_zazenvote ?00:26
starcraftmanbodhi_zazen: I am, I think I get what Rocket2DMn is saying, I'll try and fix it up a bit. I got plenty of time, my classes still pretty lax.00:26
swoodyI'm not much of a writer, but would be willing to lend my advice and opinions00:27
drs305I have no time this month but can help out next if it still needs work.00:27

Rocket2DMncool, good work starcraftman , i can see you put a lot of work into it00:28
swoodyyes, great work there starcraftman :)00:29
bodhi_zazenHome page template is a great idea.00:29
starcraftmanRocket2DMn: I try, once it's all in your head, just kinda flows out. :)00:29

MootBotLINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomepageBTTemplate00:29
bodhi_zazenI would suggest:00:29
starcraftmanThere it is, I built it off mine, suggestions welcome.00:29
bodhi_zazen1. we include one or two additional examples for table lay out00:30
bodhi_zazen2. Put it in /Beginners/WikiTemplates00:30
bodhi_zazenor some such00:30
starcraftman2. That sounds good, I wasn't actually sure what to name it tbh.00:30
bodhi_zazenSuggestions for name ?00:31
starcraftmanlong as its in the create new page template list for new people.00:31
swoody+1 starcraftman00:31
Rocket2DMnI like that starcraftman , my only suggestion would be to cut out some of the text at the top, templates don't need full explanations of how to do everything00:31
swoodyI don't think the name will have that drastic of an effect on it, as much as just having it available to use for newcomers00:32
starcraftman1. Is fine also, I was actually looking at more than one template, Silver_Fox_'s is nice and different enough, some might prefer it.00:32
starcraftman[LINK]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Silver_Fox00:32
MootBotLINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Silver_Fox00:32
Silver_Fox_Ah,  beat me to it.00:33
Rocket2DMn+1 starcraftman , i was just thinking about that, we can have a couple of different template options.  Obviously they would be similar, but since people come with different experiences, they can find templates that match them best00:33
starcraftmanSilver_Fox_: Too slow :)00:33
Silver_Fox_sorry starcraftman,  I was discussing matters of great importance with a fellow team member00:33
bodhi_zazenOK, how about we put the template in place and starcraftman or Silver_Fox_ (or anyone else) can add to it ?00:34
starcraftmanRocket2DMn: agreed, I'm only one person, I just made one for example this time. I guess I could template up anyones who volunteered theirs or they could themselves if available to do it.00:34

bodhi_zazennaw starcraftman00:35
Rocket2DMnI actually don't think the template necessarily needs to be inside our wiki area structure, it is a template available to anybody00:35
bodhi_zazenwe only need one page00:35
bodhi_zazenwith a few examples =)00:35
swoodyWe can always edit it in the future, as well. Add more tables/menus for people to be able to implement00:35

MootBotLINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/starcraft.man/Sandbox/Secret00:36
bodhi_zazenI agree we need to revitalize the membership process00:38
bodhi_zazenI like the idea of having a few people "watching over" the process00:38
starcraftmanAlright, last topic, I outlined proposal fairly clearly I think. MOTU do something similar, I also included nhandler's email for reference. I think it's half decent, and people can always just still jump on IRC and do things way we do now.00:38
bodhi_zazenwe used to have a dedicated Education Team to do this, but the education FG kind of grew into the UCLP00:39
bodhi_zazenperhaps revamp a "Mentoring" team / FG ?00:39
st33medNobody got that active in it00:40
starcraftmanShouldn't be too high maintenance once agreed on, already got swoody on board. When ml gets moved to new more public one we can use it for people to send in contact info, and quiz (if thats agreed on).00:40
bodhi_zazenI like the quiz done "LIVE" on IRC00:41
drs305+100:41
Silver_Fox_How would it work with regards to the masters?00:41
bodhi_zazenyou get a better feel for people when they squirm00:41
Rocket2DMn+1 live quiz00:41
bodhi_zazenif they submit written responses00:41
bodhi_zazen1. It takes more time00:41
ibuclaw2. they can google it00:41
bodhi_zazen2. They can google and make themselves look good00:41
starcraftmanbodhi_zazen: can do, its fairly short I suppose. Do people like the sample questions, I alternated between ones testing knowledge and ones checking interest.00:42
bodhi_zazenI will look at your questions starcraftman00:42
ibuclawbodhi_zazen, it's like telephone interviews over *just* posting your CV :)00:42
st33medLIVE from #ubuntu-beginners, its bodhi_zazen and the contestant, <insert contestant here>00:43
bodhi_zazenHow about if you revamp a "masters" FG or some such ?00:43
starcraftmanst33med: lol00:43
bodhi_zazenpeople interested in assisting new members get up to speed ?00:43
Silver_Fox_As always I am willing.00:44
starcraftmanbodhi_zazen: so, have all masters on master page and hand ful of them responsible for management and oversight?00:44
bodhi_zazenshould be low maintenance, but it would help if people watch it =)00:44
bodhi_zazen+1 starcraftman00:44
Silver_Fox_bodhi_zazen ^00:44
bodhi_zazenWe can elect "management" next month ?00:45
starcraftmanbodhi_zazen: righto, shouldn't be too hard. Would ya want a separate masters fg mail list in place? Or simply use same one we moving to with nhandler?00:45
bodhi_zazenWhich should get us to ...00:45
* bodhi_zazen is a strong believer in the unified theory of mailing lists00:45
bodhi_zazenwe only need additional ML if the one we have gets too active00:46
Rocket2DMnmailing lists: old school still rulez!00:46

robbiew[TOPIC] Alpha 6 Deliverables16:01
MootBotNew Topic:  Alpha 6 Deliverables16:01
robbiewmvo: software store...will we be done by next thursday?16:01
robbiewI suspect we will have UI changes post UI freeze :/16:02
mvorobbiew: I got a list of critical UI issues from mpt today, I'm working through it16:02
robbiewwell16:02
mvorobbiew: I don't think we should brea UI freeze for it, we broke enough freezes already16:02
robbiewagreed16:02
slangasekbreaking UI freeze isn't the end of the world, we just need to let the docs folks know it's happening16:03
robbiewtrue...but with this particular project...we need to enforce or changes will never stop16:04
mvothe current doc (in ubuntu-docs) referes to g-a-i so we need to make sure this gets updated anyway16:04
robbiewmvo: ivanka said she would have some folks help mpt16:04
mvorobbiew: that is good news16:04
robbiewwith the UI stuff16:04
mvowith UI coding?16:05
robbiewheh16:05
robbiewthey don't code16:05
robbiewlol16:05
robbiewI would have expected the DX team to implement their designs...not you16:05
mvoI'm not sure we need more UI spec changes at this point16:05
* robbiew notes this for 10.04 ;)16:05
mvo:)16:05
mvofor 10.04 I will refuse to implement anything that was not speced by the spec-deadline (or discussed at uds)16:06
robbiewslangasek: we've done all we can with the Power Management stuff for this cycle...right?16:06
dokohi16:06
robbiewmvo: ack16:06
robbiewand +116:06
robbiewdoko: welcome back from holiday :)16:07
slangasekrobbiew: effectively; there may be a couple more clean-up bits to pick up opportunistically, but no more major reorganization from here16:07
robbiewcool...I'm marking this done16:07
robbiew;)16:07
slangasekthere are still some acpi-support bugs that need fixed related to wireless hotkey handling, but I need the kernel fixed first before I can usefully test anything16:07
robbiewliw: janitor UI improvements...done?16:07
robbiewslangasek: ack..thanks16:07
liwrobbiew, yes; I've just asked mvo to upload my latest, hopefully last changes, fixing some bugs (such as translation templates)16:08
* mvo is getting the code as we speak16:08
robbiewliw: will CJ clean up my kernels in the official release? I noticed it wasn't doing that16:08
robbiews/my/my old16:09
liwrobbiew, alas, no, the heuristics have been weakened (it was that or removing skype)16:09
robbiew:/16:09
robbiewhmmm16:09
robbiewI'd prefer removing skype to be honest...the kernel cleanup was a big plus16:09
robbiewi know mdz preferred it16:10
liwI would've preferred that too, but the skype-wanters wore me down16:10
robbiewugh16:10
robbiewcan we change it back? or is it too late?16:10
* robbiew will deal with skype-wanters16:10
slangasekwasn't there a way they were able to click to say "keep this package forever"?16:10
robbiewyeah16:10
robbiewthat's what I did16:11
liwslangasek, yes, but people didn't use that, I guess16:11
meanburrito920_#xmonad16:11
liwrobbiew, it's an easy change to revert, though16:11
meanburrito920_oops16:11
robbiewliw: let's revert16:12
mterryhi, sorry I'm late16:12
* mvo will wait with the sponsoring in this case16:12
liwslangasek, are you ok with reverting the change? it means all packags not found in current apt repositires will be suggested for removel (hence, old kernels as well as skype)16:13
cjwatsonis there a bug reference for kernels vs. skype? it seems that we ought to be able to have our cake and eat it somehow ...16:13
slangasekliw: as long as there's a clear way for users to say "keep this package and don't bug me about it again", yes16:13
liwslangasek, there is16:14
cjwatsoneven if it's by way of specific regexed exceptions or something16:14
liwcjwatson, just a minute16:14
slangasekcjwatson: it's the basic problem that once a package is no longer in the apt lists, we lose all information about its provenance16:14
mvoliw: we can blacklist some known stuff there (skype, acroread, google-earth)16:14
slangasekwe can regexp it, sure16:14
robbiewyeah...just keep a list of exceptions16:14
mvoand for karmic+1 we should record it somewhere16:14
liwI've been reluctant to add regexps by default, but the mechanism should be there16:14
liwok, so I'll bring back the skype killer and add the regexps16:15
robbiewthanks16:15
robbiewliw: guess you'll be needing an FFE ;)16:16
liwcjwatson, #285746 is the bug report16:16
liwif anyone can think of commonly used third-party programs, please tell me, so I can add them pre-emptively to the blacklist16:17
cjwatsonIIRC, update-manager has an explicit list of things that used to be in the archive and are no longer16:17
cjwatsonam I misremembering? because it sounds like that's really what you need16:17
liwiirc update-manager handles some specific no-longer-existing packages, but does not handle the generic case16:18
liwwhereas janitor tries to handle the generic case16:18
mvoupdate-manager has a list of stuff that moved components, but it would be trivial to extend it to ta list of stuff that vanished16:18
mvowell, update-manager has a easy time, it checks what is obsolete before and after the update and keeps away from stuff that was obsolete before16:19
liwbut I'm not sure how a complete list would help... either the package is still there, or it isn't16:19
mvothis is why it happyily cleans kernels, but leaves skype alone16:19
* liw notes there was a time the janitor would remove _both_ all kernels and skype16:20
liw(which was the least good of all possible scenarios)16:20
robbiewheh16:20
liwanyway -- should we continue to the next topic?16:21

robbiewheh...high?...maybe medium :P16:26
cjwatsonnot done yet, but still on my list16:26
robbiewcool16:26
cjwatsonthe whole timeout thing is a bit of a mess16:26
cjwatsonI've been talking with the design and DX teams about ways to improve it16:27
robbiewyeah16:27
cjwatsonI think we have something more or less workable, but Ivanka wants to run it past a few people16:27
robbiewsaw that thread16:27
Davieycjwatson: Is that something that could be added to upgrade-from-grub-legacy ?16:27
robbiewcould we change the "Grub2 Loading" message to "Hit Shift for Grub Menu"?16:28
cjwatsonrobbiew: it doesn't appear for long enough to be worth it - it may make more sense to display it later (i.e. if you reboot, you can hold down shift ...)16:28
cjwatsonDaviey: possibly, but it would be better for it to happen automatically on package installation16:28
robbiewheh...well on my eeePC900 it does...but the reboot may make more sense16:29
Davieycjwatson: sure.16:29
robbiewcjwatson: would it be painful to change it anyway?  Just as an added measure16:30
cjwatsonrobbiew: it would, unfortunately - that bit's in assembly, and it's not printed as a single message16:30
cjwatsonyou get different bits printed if it fails in the middle of the assembly bootstrap16:31
cjwatsonand there's only 512 bytes total to play with there, of which I think practically all are used16:31

cjwatsonI don't think his analysis in comment #6 is correct ... but has he been asking about it?16:33
robbiewheh16:33
robbiewnot to me...just noticed it as something we usually look after...initramfs16:33

robbiew[TOPIC] AOB16:45
MootBotNew Topic:  AOB16:45
KeybukI'm looking forwards to reading the commit log16:45
cjwatsonAOB:dpkg 1.15.416:45
KeybukI bet he finds *some* way to blame Ubuntu16:45
robbiewheh16:46
Keybuke.g. "Ubuntu users tend to stupidly set the hardware clocks to localtime, which causes an issue with..."16:46
cjwatsondue to debhelper changes and other similar things in Debian, we've accumulated a fair few packages depending on dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info16:46
mterryKeybuk, what's the bug number?16:46
cjwatsoni.e. basically a start on http://wiki.debian.org/Transitions/DpkgToGnuInstallInfo16:46
Keybukmterry: seb128 never filed it ;)16:46
cjwatsondpkg 1.15.4 unfortunately has quite a few changes, but I don't think the world would end if I merged it into Karmic; does anyone feel strongly in the opposite direction?16:46
Keybukcjwatson: oh, I started seeing bug reports a while back about install-info issues/incompatibilties16:47
Keybukcjwatson: I blamed people installing texinfo16:47
Keybuk(but that'd imply the depends were wrong anyway, no?)16:47
cjwatsonI think it might be easier to deal with them this way and fix up anything that goes wrong with dpkg, than to hunt-and-destroy all the install-info changes only to undo them all in karmic+1 again16:47
cjwatsonI'm not entirely sure, I'm only tangentially aware of this particular transition16:47
cjwatsonI think there were some known incompatibilities16:48
slangasekdpkg updates seem to be a mixed bag generally16:48
slangasekcjwatson: FFe bug if appropriate?16:48
cjwatsonsimilarly, although maybe with a bit less difficulty attached, I was wondering if we should merge the new debhelper with Steve's dh_installinit/upstart changes16:48
cjwatsonslangasek: sure, just wanted to ask here first16:48
cjwatsonsince if everybody hated the idea then I wouldn't bother16:49
* slangasek nods16:49
slangasekdh_installinit would be nice... could cherry-pick that one if we want, too16:49
cjwatsonwe've been keeping fairly up to date with debhelper this cycle16:49
slangasekI have the patch to hand and stuff :)16:49
cjwatsonthe other changes seem straightforward16:50
cjwatsonwe're only three revisions back16:50
slangasekno objections, then16:50
robbiewany other other business?16:50
cjwatsonthe behaviour change of -a in 7.4.0 is the only really substantial one16:50
Keybukcjwatson: err16:50
Keybukplease don't16:50
cjwatsonKeybuk: no?16:50
Keybuknot to be mean to slangasek, but his dh_installinit was wrong16:50
cjwatsonwhich one, dpkg or debhelper?16:50
slangasekhuh?16:51
Keybukthe dh_installinit in the ubuntu-boot ppa does upstart right16:51
cjwatsoncan we get that pushed to Debian before anyone starts to depend on the one in 7.4.1, please?16:51
Keybukit's not even in Ubuntu yet :)16:51
cjwatsonyeah, but 7.4.1 is in Debian16:51

Keybukcjwatson, slangasek: the differences being that you need custom Upstart maintainer script snippets, because invoke-rc.d/policy-rc.d don't work if your boot is native upstart or using insserv16:54
Keybuk(ie. Ubuntu or Debian respectively)16:54
Keybukthat you can't assume that for every Upstart job there was previously an init script with the same name16:54
Keybuk(many upstart jobs are new, or replaced udev rules, etc.)16:54
Keybukand that when replacing an init script, it helps to check not only whether the md5sum of the old init script is different, but that it's not a symlink to upstart-job ;-)16:55
Keybukbecause md5sum upstart-job != md5sum of whatever's in status ;)16:55
* Keybuk started with what was in the debhelper bug in debian and fixed the bugs as he found them16:56
KeybukI didn't realise it had actually gone *into* Debian yet16:56
Keybuk(when I started, the bug was still open)16:56
slangasek+               addsubstvar($package, "misc:Depends", "upstart (>= 0.6.0)");16:56
slangasekuhm16:56
slangasekwhat's that?16:56
Keybukit's a dependency on another package16:56
Keybukbut that's not important right now16:56
Keybukremember16:57
Keybukwe've had Upstart in ubuntu for quite a while16:57
Keybukand the job format isn't compatible16:57
Keybukand we've had packages that have shipped upstart jobs for a while16:57
Keybukso we need a versioned-depends to ensure they match :)16:57
slangasekno, that dep is wrong, it violates the transition plan to force install of the upstart package16:58
slangasekthe upstart-job virtual package is the only dep we should need16:58
Keybukno16:58
Keybukdisagree strongly16:58
slangaseknothing was providing upstart-job before the job change16:58
slangasekyou can disagree, but you're still wrong :)16:58
Keybukupstart-job is only required if you're going to use upstart-job16:58
Keybukif you're not using that compatibility wrapper16:58
Keybukyou only need to depend on upstart itself16:59
slangasek*everything* is using that compatibility wrapper16:59
Keybukslangasek: you're wrong16:59
slangasekthat's the transition plan16:59
Keybukno it isn't16:59
Keybukit might be Debian's, but it isn't ours16:59
Keybukyou only want compat symlinks in /etc/init.d for things that were *previously* in /etc/init.d17:00
Keybuk(so that if people try and run them, they get mentally adjusted by the output to tell them where they went wrong)17:00
Keybuknow, it's certainly arguable that the versioned dep should be in the } else { clause17:00
Keybukie. if --replace, then upstart-job, otherwise a versioned dep on upstart17:01
Keybukand I'm not sure why I didn't just do that17:01
Keybukbut it's not true that you're *always* replacing an init script17:01
Keybukas I've said repeatedly, sometimes you're replacing a udev rule17:01
Keybukand sometimes you're replacing a line from inittab17:01
Keybuk(we don't have /etc/init.d/control-alt-delete -> /lib/init/upstart-job :p)17:01
Keybukand sometimes it's a new job entirely that only makes sense in the upstart world17:02
slangasekhmm - I'm not sure dh_installinit should be responsible for installing such upstart jobs then17:02
slangasekwhich don't resemble init scripts at all17:02
slangasekor at least, --replace should be the /default/ behavior17:03
Keybukthey're still technically init conf files ;)17:03
slangasekheh17:03
KeybukI think it does make sense for dh_installinit to remain as "install conf files for init"17:03
Keybukam quite happy with the notion that --replace should be the default17:04
Keybukit could be renamed to be something like:17:04
Keybuk  dh_installinit --upstart-native17:04
Keybukor --upstart-only17:04
Keybukperhaps17:04
* slangasek nods17:04
Keybukthen if Upstart becomes the only init system, that just becomes a no-op17:05
slangasekright17:05

aurowe are poor brazilian guys, so, be cool :)23:07
nixternalone sec Grantbow... Technoviking will start it off23:07
TechnovikingGrantbow: seize the day:)23:07
GrantbowHi, I'm Grant Bowman.  I'm a member of the California LoCo.  My wiki page is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grantbow23:08
nixternalTechnoviking: moobot!23:08
GrantbowI'm not sure what else to lead with as much of it is on the wiki page.  I've been using Linux since 1994 and been active with Ubuntu for over a year now.23:08
GrantbowI was previously with SuSE in Oakland from 1999-2001.  Can I answer any questions?23:09
nixternalGrantbow: seems you are quite the community person...what issues do you see with the community at this time, and how can we go about making it better?23:09
GrantbowMany of the issues I face in California are the standard ones of Linux adoption in general.23:10
GrantbowThere's a very vibrant Linux community in the SF Bay Area but our LoCo hasn't reached all of them yet.23:10
GrantbowI'm working on that.23:10
GrantbowThe team will be going for approval Tuesday the 15th.23:11
ScottKAny interest in branching out beyond community and advocacy work?23:11
GrantbowI do code when I have to, but I often find solutions exist already.23:11
GrantbowMy community efforts keep me busy right now.23:12
GrantbowI am hoping to help others contribute which is where I think I can do the most overall good for Ubuntu right now.23:13
boredandbloggingGrantbow: on your application, you say you want to help junior volunteers, can you elaborate on that?23:13
GrantbowCalifornia is a bit odd.23:13
GrantbowThere's a huge Linux community but not a large Ubuntu focused community.23:13
nixternalGrantbow: what does gaining Ubuntu membership mean to you? And by becoming a member, how can that benefit yourself as well as the greater community?23:13
GrantbowI'll answer boredandbloggin first.23:14
nixternalgroovy23:14
GrantbowI think that if people knew about the opportunities to contribute they would step up.  It's about educating.  I hope that answers your question.23:15
Grantbownixternal: With or without membership I'll keep advocating Ubuntu.  The benefits will be helpful in further my activities.23:16
Grantbownixternal: As I have met more of the active US national folks involved with Ubuntu I am looking for other ways to contribute as well.23:17
Grantbowanything else?23:18
nixternalGrantbow: seems you have a great list of testimonials from a bunch of amazing people...anyone here that hasn't given a testimonial for Grantbow feel like stepping up and speaking out?23:18
DWonderlyI would...23:18
* nixternal thinks the entire community left a testimonial already :)23:18
fccfI would..23:18
nixternalDWonderly: groovy, the floors is yours23:18
nixternalfccf: same for you23:18
nixternalDWonderly and fccf: what would you like to add?23:19
DWonderlyGrant has taken me under his wing in the Cal LoCo. Been very very helpful when I went through my annoying N00B days and continues to help any time of day or night. I have not had the pleasure of a face to face meeting but Grant treats everyone with respect and give you that feeling of brotherhood. The Ubuntu Community could only be better with Grant23:20
fccfGrantbow has done an amazing job in helping to facilitate information sharing within the CaliforniaTeam, especially on IRC, and as I understand it is very helpful in bringing new and interesting ideas to the table... He has even helped me a couple of times in #ubuntu23:20
Yasumoto_I already left a testimonial, but I'd like to add a \m/  during the meeting23:20

nixternallinuxmen: do you have any plans on bridging out in the community, such as translations, packaging (I noticed debs for Ubuntu Games), bug triage, and such?23:39
pedro_linuxmen: in your wiki page you said that you're part of the Sao Paolo LoCo team and founder of that, so i'm wondering how's the relationship between that loco team and the Brazilian one (Ubuntu-BR)?23:39
* auro and linuxmen are in a conference call to improve speed in translation23:40
AndreNoelUbuntu-BR has regional teams on brazilian states, and Ubuntu Sao Paulo is a very good team23:41
auroLinuxmen are doing only beta testing and bug triage, because he does not have much programming knowledge.23:41
aurobtw, he is always asking people to help in such activities.23:41
Ursinhaauro, bug triage? ubuntu's you mean?23:42
nixternallinuxmen: have you faced any difficulties or issues with the LoCo team, Ubuntu Games, or other projects you have worked on, and if so, how did you go about resolving them?23:42
UrsinhaI see no karma in LP, but I may be wrong23:42
nixternalI don't either, already looked23:43
boredandblogginglinuxmen: have you organized any LoCo activities?23:43
auroPedro_: We have an excellent relationship along these years, developing sinergy to help other brazilian loco teams in a organized way.23:43
nixternallinuxmen: how have the communications between yourself, the SP LoCo, and the Brazilian Council gone? Has there been any problems, and if so, were they resolved and how?23:44
auroUrsinha: Yes, ubuntu bugs and alpha/beta releases like Karmic.23:44
