pleia2ok, we're getting ready for an ubuntu community learning project meeting00:00
bodhi_zazen=)00:01
bodhi_zazenwho is here for the meeting ?00:01

MootBotMeeting started at 18:02. The chair is cprofitt.00:02
MootBotCommands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE]00:02
cprofittHello all and welcome to the UCLP meeting00:02
cprofittplease just say here if you are present for the meeting00:02
pleia2thanks for chairing, cprofitt :)00:02
pleia2here00:02
bodhi_zazenhere =)00:02

doctormohere00:03
cprofittI would like permission to open an agenda item not on the list.00:04
pleia2sure00:04
cprofitt[TOPIC] Civility00:04
MootBotNew Topic:  Civility00:04
cprofittI would like  to express a feeling that I think we all share...00:04
cprofittthat there is a need to be civil during meetings and discussions (formal and informal)00:05
bodhi_zazen+1 cprofitt00:06
pleia2being mindful of the CoC would help, and keeping in mind that we're all on the same team here00:06
cprofittwe each have our own passions involved in this project, but a person's passions should not control a project. We all need to do a better job of seeing the project from a holistic view and take the time to pause when considering the view points of others00:06
bodhi_zazenI think a lack of civil discourse is detrimental to this project00:06
swoodya big +1 on this...00:07
cprofittI hope that we all reflect on potentially 'inflammatory' language and using it to make a point.00:07
swoodyfrom my UCLP peon perspective, there is a lot of great talent and leadership in this project. I think being able to overcome your personal biases and opinions for the team this could be an amazing team :)00:08
cprofittwe really need to curb that... this is not a 'debate' club meeting, but a team trying to produce something to assist the community.00:08
cprofittWe all have one goal that is the same -- educate users and potential users00:08
bodhi_zazenI also think we need to re-focus our efforts and I think we should at least touch base on the fact that we are using Moodle to "repackage" or present material in ways condusive to learning, and not a documentation project00:08
bodhi_zazendocumentation == wiki00:09
cprofittcan we wait on that bodhi_zazen00:09
cprofittlets stick with the civility first.00:09
cprofittplease00:09
bodhi_zazenyep, but I am throwing it out as it seems related , it the root cause of problems00:09
cprofitt[VOTE] We all need to be more aware of the words we use in expressing our opinions and take time to understand the points of view different from our own00:10

MootBotAGREED received:  The group agreed to make a conscious effort to be more civil00:11
cprofittthank you.00:11
cprofitt[TOPIC] Course Organization00:11
MootBotNew Topic:  Course Organization00:11
cprofittWe discussed quite a bit of this on the list...00:12
cprofittand I wish to reflect my understanding...00:12
cprofittWe are trying to make courses that will be A)  On-line via Moodle and/or IRC B) Course materials that can be used with in-person training00:12
bodhi_zazeno/00:13
cprofittWe will not force a course 'creator/author' to make content in all of those formats00:13
cprofittthe choice will be up to the course author00:13
cprofittthe team may try to convert material from one format to the other00:13
cprofitt... is that accurate?00:13
cprofittgo ahead bodhi_zazen00:14
bodhi_zazenIMO our final product should be generic / versatile enough to be used in almost any content00:14
pleia2right, but the official course format is asciidoc, and if someone joins the team who just wants to write material (for any format) we will point them to doctormo's upcoming docs on how00:14
bodhi_zazenone should be able to use our "template" or outline in a classroom, IRC, independent study, should not really matter00:14
cprofittpleia2, I missed several meetings... was the asciidoc format voted on?00:15
pleia2yeah, what bodhi_zazen said00:15
pleia2cprofitt: yes00:15
Vantraxim 90% afk sorry guys, very busy at work getting some things ready for deadline00:15
pleia2bios_element reviewed a number of formats and showed them all to us00:15
pleia2cprofitt: might want to check the mail archives for his full text email of his analysis00:15
cprofittpleia2, have we posted that on our wiki page?00:16
pleia2ah, here we go: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-learning/2009-September/000050.html00:16
cprofittwe need to make sure that people have that information if they are considering assisting us.00:16
cprofittthanks for the link to the comparison...00:16
pleia2cprofitt: doesn't look like it, we're waiting on finalization of doctormo's instructions before we have people diving in00:17
pleia2we need standards for this, doctormo and bioselement have been writing them :)00:17
pleia2(it's all in bzr)00:17
cprofittI agree... but it might help us if it is mentioned as a standard... on our site even if we do not have a complete set of instructions00:17
doctormoIndeed00:17
pleia2cprofitt: we're trying00:18
cprofittI think with that being officially adopted we should strive to have our first course actually be one that shows how to use asciidocs00:18
cprofittinside our framework00:18
doctormoThat was something BiosElement was working on.00:18
pleia2that's what doctormo and bioselement are writing...00:18
cprofittpleia2, I would put a basic statement about it on the main page -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning00:18
pleia2ok00:18
cprofittunder the Course creation section00:18
cprofittnot a complete instruction set, but just a note that asciidocs will be used00:19
cprofittWe obviously will need the asciidoc course developed in Moodle and in-person format... would IRC be appropriate as well?00:19
pleia2yes, as I explained in my email the core material is in asciidoc, and then adapted for all three formats00:20
cprofittok.... cool...00:20
cprofittsorry I did not recall that detail in your email.00:20
cprofittdoctormo, do you have an eta or target date for that course?00:20
pleia2cprofitt: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-learning/2009-October/000067.html00:20
pleia2sent it out 6 days ago00:21
cprofittI remember the email, in general, but not the specific part about an asciidoc how-to course00:21
pleia2oh ok :)00:21
cprofittI have been working on the Moodle examples... to assist us with that...00:22
cprofittwhich I know you put in one of your emails.00:22
doctormocprofitt: There is a few steps, one involves getting the bzr/lp checkout, one involves editing text files and the final one is commiting branches.00:22
cprofittsounds good doctormo - I am just curious if you have a target date for the release of the course that will teach people how to produce courses for us00:23
cprofittthat will be an important step forward in having others contribute00:23
doctormocprofitt: I'd targeted last month, but we just didn't reach it.00:23
cprofittTrying for November then?00:23
doctormoTrying for January.00:24
cprofitt[ACTION] Doctormo is targeting January for finishing the course on how to contribute to UCLP00:24
MootBotACTION received:  Doctormo is targeting January for finishing the course on how to contribute to UCLP00:24
* cprofitt nods00:24
bodhi_zazenJanuary :p (I understand, just couild not resist the emoticon)00:24
cprofittOK...00:24
doctormoHopefully it'll be done before then.00:24
pleia2in the meantime I've still been writing in odt00:24
cprofittone other thing that I raised in my email.00:24
cprofittI would like use to organize content in to sections00:25
pleia2I'll convert to asciidoc eventually, but we want to get rolling even if the official dev docs aren't done00:25
cprofittso that we will not have material duplicated00:25
* pleia2 nods00:25
cprofittif there is a 'using ubuntu' strand that involved using nano and a 'maintaining' ubuntu strand that uses nano00:26
doctormoI've seen the sections that you want to create cprofitt, I'm not in agreement to the precise layout.00:26
cprofittthen content on nano would be in its own course00:26
bodhi_zazenand have people identify what section(s) they are working on00:26
cprofittand in both strands00:26
doctormoBut I think we've been over some of it00:26
cprofittthat is the general concept.00:26
bodhi_zazenIf many people are working on sections, we need a way they can collaborate00:26
pleia2bodhi_zazen: that's already begun, it's being done on the wiki00:26
doctormoThe organisational collaberation anyway00:27
cprofittare you referring to this page pleia2 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning/UbuntuDesktopTopics00:27
pleia2cprofitt: yes, all 5 of the pages have owners00:27
cprofittlet me take some examples from there then00:27
pleia2then the sections are split off into "I'm working on this now" - so people can take ownership of them and let others know they're being worked on00:27
pleia2I am not sure we have to decide upon specifics of the courses at this meeting though00:27
* Vantrax likes where this is heading00:28
cprofittSynaptic Package Manager, Aptitude and Apt, What are repositories, and how do they work, Partitioning and Fstab, Linux file permissions, Sudo and Root, Linux file system hierarchy00:28
cprofittthose topics likely cross over to both the administering and the using areas00:28
cprofittagree?00:28
bodhi_zazenI would put them in admin and not general use00:29
cprofittI do not think we have to organize specifics, but I want to ensure we are understanding one another00:29
cprofittbut our 'use' has been labeled by the graphic as 'desktop'00:29
bodhi_zazenI think of using more of OOO, firefox, etc00:29
cprofittand administering 'server'00:29
pleia2I think these topic labels are fluid, and I agree with bodhi_zazen00:30
cprofittok...00:30
* cprofitt pauses00:30
cprofittI am not sure I am communicating this well00:30
cprofittI apologize00:30
cprofittI think there is the potential for course overlap and wish to avoid that if possible00:30
pleia2yes00:31
cprofittwe have people in charge of the areas... but I think we need to have a process to look at those areas and not let them become silos00:31
pleia2the easiest way is putting topics on both pages, marking that they are responsible on both00:31
cprofittthat have over lapped content00:31
pleia2not the most elegant, but probably what we have to do00:31
* cprofitt nods00:31
doctormoWhat was the thoughts on considering use to be the execution of goals that produce results outside of the computer's own self maintaientance.00:31
cprofittpleia2, I think you and I are on the same page.00:32
doctormoPeople don't use vi or nano to edit their normal documents.00:32
cprofittI am not concerned with the specifics, just the fact that we want to avoid duplication00:32
bodhi_zazenI do doctormo =)00:32
VantraxI think there will be overlap, but there are different levels of detail in use in regard to applications00:32
doctormobodhi_zazen: special case00:32
cprofittVantrax - I agree.00:32
bodhi_zazenI understand ;P00:33
Vantraxone should be an introduction to command line text editing (nano)00:33
cprofittThe key is to not produced 'base' levels inside several courses00:33
Vantraxone should be advanced command line text editing (vi)00:33
swoody+1 cprofitt00:33
pleia2cprofitt: +100:33
cprofittbut to remove the 'base' level and make it its own course00:33
bodhi_zazenI for one suggest we do not separate out command line from graphical00:33
doctormoOverlap may not be too much of a problem, I don't think the project is big enough yet for it to be a problem and so long as organisation is being carried out on those few pages in the same form, it would be easy enough to check.00:33
Vantraxbut there will be some overlap00:33
bodhi_zazenIMO command line tools should be included where appropriate00:33
* cprofitt coughs00:33
swoodyI think a general 'base' knowledge course, and then if needed, further info into a specific area if it's required for those needs00:34
cprofittwe are getting in to the specifics00:34
bodhi_zazensome content there will be more , others less =)00:34
pleia2doctormo: yeah, for now it's not too huge of an administrative challenge, but I think we want to make sure we're aware that it'll come up and to check for it :)00:34
Vantraxgood point:P00:34
cprofittI would prefer not to discuss the specifics... nor the probability of overlap...00:34
VantraxLong as we are aware of the issue, and have a way to differentiate the different courses it will be fine00:34
cprofittjust to acknowledge that if it happens we will try to mitigate it00:34
bodhi_zazen+1 cprofitt00:34
pleia2if I start writing "now you aptitude install" in a Desktop course I'll be sure to cross-reference with Server course to make sure I'm not rewriting "basic aptitude" instructions00:34
doctormocprofitt: The probability and the cost of administrating the overlap seem fairly pertinant.00:34
bodhi_zazenI also like the wiki syntax "using any editor"00:35
bodhi_zazenrather then specifying nano vs kate vs gvim00:35
cprofittwe will table the discussion to the mail list then doctormo00:35
cprofittI motion we close this topic and move it to the mailing list00:35
swoody+1 bodhi_zazen , if how to use an editor has been covered by a previous 'base' topic00:35
pleia2cprofitt: +100:35
* cprofitt topic closed00:35
doctormo+0 I have no strong feelings about moving it anywhere, this place was as good as anywhere.00:36
bodhi_zazenswoody: that *should* be a linky to the wiki00:36
cprofittdoes anyone else have any topics that were not put on the agenda?00:36
pleia2I'm going to blog about the project sometime this week00:36
pleia2mostly based on my email, try to remind people that we exist and all00:36
doctormopleia2: Want me to blog at the same time?00:36
pleia2and I'm doing an Ubuntu Open Week presentation on it, so I'll share the draft of that with everyone soon in case you guys have things to add00:37
* cprofitt nods00:37
cprofitt+1 pleia200:37
cprofittanyone else?00:37
pleia2doctormo: sure, maybe you discuss how the base documentation format (bzr, asciidoc) for the project is coming along, and how to contribute in the meantime?00:37
pleia2my blog post will be some overlap in that regard, but you're the expert in our base format :)00:38
doctormopleia2: Expert you say :-)00:38
doctormopleia2: OK I'll document it, perhaps it'll give me something to go to BiosElement with.00:38
pleia2well, you and bioselement are better than the rest of us ;)00:38
* pleia2 nods00:39
doctormocprofitt, meeting over?00:39
cprofittunless there are other topics...00:39
cprofittdo you wish to motion to adjourn doctormo00:39
pleia2I'm done00:39
cprofittI motion that we close the meeting00:40

dholbachhey mako12:12
=== simon-o|lunch is now known as simon-o
makosorry i'm a little late12:12
sabdflnp12:13
sabdflmako, we just voted on and approved the new CoC per your rev 812:13
popeyI'd like to see a system whereby it's clear which verion of the CoC someone signed12:13
sabdflagreed12:13
makooh, wonderful12:13
popeyand allow people to 'upgrade' their signature12:13
dholbachis there a launchpad bug/blueprint open for that?12:13
makoneedless to say (and for the record), i am also in favor12:13
popeyor elect not to12:13
sabdfli believe this is tracked in LP already, but we don't have flows around upgrading or displaying it12:13
sabdflpopey: can you chat with curtis hovey about that?12:14
popeysure12:14
sabdflhe's in US timezones12:14
sabdfli think the real plan is to generalise it, so any project can publish agreements / terms / sla's and we track who's agreed to what12:14
popeythat would be useful12:14
dholbachthat sounds great12:15
dholbachanything else on the topic of CoC?12:15
sabdflsounds like a swamp of legalese to me, but hey, full speed ahead :-)12:15
dholbach:-)12:15
popeyheh12:15
sabdfldholbach: will you publish it in all the right places?12:15
makothat seems like a minor issue. and in general, we want to avoid having to deal with arguments like, "well, i only agreed to version 1.0 of the CoC, not 1.1"12:15
popeybut we equally don't want people to say 'Hey, I never signed up for that!'12:16
makothat's certainly not a reason to not check12:16
popeyGPL v2 or later ..12:16
sabdfli would like to have a stab at generalising the CoC, so that other projects don't have to fork it12:16
Technovikingsomeone should publishize it to the Planet12:16
dholbachsabdfl: I'll talk to newz2000 to get it on ubuntu.com - not sure wherelse it needs to go12:16
dholbachsabdfl: but I'll have a look12:16
sabdflso, that can be a goal for a CoC 2.012:16
sabdflTechnoviking: go ahead and blog it!12:16
pleia2Technoviking: I can12:16
pleia2or you :)12:16
dholbachboth!12:17
dholbach:)12:17
sabdflfor the moment, i think we're wrapped on that front12:17

dholbach[TOPIC] Clarify expectations of Team Councils and Boards12:17
MootBotNew Topic:  Clarify expectations of Team Councils and Boards12:17
dholbachsabdfl: sure12:17
sabdflcool mako! i didn't have any great insight other than the need to generalise so if you're working on it i'm +1 and won't interfere12:18
dholbachwe've grown a lot of team councils and boards in the Ubuntu community already and it seems like a good idea to clarify expectations for those governance bodies12:18
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil/Delegation/Proposal is very common, very simple steps to try to go forward and expect similar things of all of them12:19
dholbachif we can agree on it, I'd like to add merge https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil/Delegation/Proposal  into https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil/Delegation12:19
sabdfli think it could be fleshed out a bit more12:20
sabdflnot sure if it's best for me to do that right now, or later12:20
dholbachsabdfl: what parts are you thinking of?12:20
sabdflbut i'd like to see more specific articulation of the general model:12:20
sabdfl - governance boards (policy, dispute resolution)12:21
sabdfl - ops (moderators in forums, ops in irc, general uploaders in the dev team, etc)12:21
makodholbach: so i've seen this before and there's nothing in there that i find problematic12:21
sabdfl - members (substantial contributors)12:21
sabdflthat's a structural pattern that isn't clear to me from this doc12:22
* mako nods to sabdfl12:22
sabdflit's not rigid, but i would like to see the pattern articulated somewhere12:22
=== porthose|afk is now known as porthose
sabdfldholbach: will you lead the discussion while i have a stab at that in the document?12:22
sabdflapologies for real-time editing :-/12:22
dholbachsure, that all sounds good to me12:22
jonoI am happy to help with this too if needed, dholbach12:23
dholbachpleia2, Technoviking, popey: do you have any other comments on the proposal?12:23
popeyno12:23
pleia2no, looks good12:23
Technovikingfine here12:23
dholbachI agree with sabdfl - having team councils approve members is a great way to build a community and recognise great contributions12:25
jonoagreed12:25
dholbachand mentioning dispute resolution makes sense too12:25
dholbachI think we have a document about that on the wiki already12:25
dholbachsomething in the BuildingCommunity/ namespace?12:25
dholbachcan somebody help me find it? maybe we could link to it as a "howto"12:26
jonoabout councils approving members?12:26
dholbachno, sorry, dispute resolution12:26
jonooh right12:26
dholbachfor membership wiki.u.c/Membership should be good enough12:26
jonoI remember writing something up about it a long time back12:26
jonoI will see if I can find it12:26
pleia2https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CodeOfConductGuidelines links to an unratified Dispute Resolution document12:27
dholbachmy internet is dog-slow here, so don't wait on me finding it :)12:27
pleia2https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CodeOfConductDisputeResolution12:27
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/DealingWithConflict is what I was thinking of12:28
makoyeah, the second links looks a bit more threshed out12:29
jonodholbach, thats the doc I was thinking of too12:29
dholbachjono: I updated it a few weeks ago and linked it from a few other places too12:29
jonoI could also take my conflict chapter from The art of community and put there there too12:29
dholbachsure, that'd be good12:29
dholbachso https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/DealingWithConflict looks good to all of you?12:30
popeyyeah, I'd not seen that page before.. it's pretty good12:31
dholbachcool, it'd be good if we could refer to a "howto" from the delegation page12:31
popeycould do with a couple of exit points for where the process fails12:31
popeye.g. 'get everyone on irc', if people refuse to join, or evade meetings.. what to do next12:32
dholbachmaybe Jono's book chapter has more detail? :)12:32
jonodholbach, it does12:33
jonoit talkes through a conflict resolution scenario too12:33
dholbachgood12:33
dholbachI'm not so sure what sabdfl meant when he mentioned "policy" - so I'd wait for him to re-emerge from the wiki editing12:33
jonoI will see if I can chop out the chapter and put it online12:33
dholbachthanks jono12:33
jono:)12:33
dholbachdoes anybody have thoughts about the structure of moderators in forums, ops in irc, general uploaders in the dev team, etc12:34
dholbach?12:34
jonowhat do you mean?12:35
dholbachsabdfl:  mentioned it above12:35
dholbacherr12:35
dholbachsabdfl mentioned it above12:35
makoi mean, i don't have any general comments beyond the fact that they should be people who can/do satisify the requirements laid out in the LCoC12:35
pleia2I'd need to hear more from the specific teams about what they think the structure should be12:35
jussi01Thats a pretty broad group there.12:36
sabdfltake a look at what's there now, folks, is it headed in the right direction?12:36
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil/Delegation/Proposal?action=diff&rev2=8&rev1=612:37
jonosabdfl, looks good to me12:37
jonoI feel like we also need to link to a page detailing meeting best practise12:38
jonohow to run a meeting, essentially12:38
jonowe can check into this12:38
sabdflok, i will finish this edit in a while if you are all happy with the direction12:39
pleia2these changes look good so far12:39
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/TeamReporting https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/TeamIrcSessions probably12:39
Technovikinglooks good to me12:39
dholbachsabdfl: I'm happy with it too12:39
sabdfli will include those links, dholbach12:39
dholbachsuper12:39
jonosounds good12:40
makobest practice stuff is great. councils should have as many of those sorts of resources12:40
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/KnowledgeBase has a lot of good stuff :)12:40
jonoindeed :)12:40
makobut we should be clear to distinguish best practices from policies and guidelines. our guidlines should be as small as possible and as reactive as we can12:40
dholbachmaybe we should also mention the team-council mailing list or whatever it's called?12:40
dholbachmako: agreed, that should be clear12:41
sabdfli think it's already there, i'll bolster it a little12:41
jussi01Just one thing slightly related to that delegation page, (if its inappropriate for now pull me up) is there a reason we only get people to sign the CoC and not sign the LCoC?12:41
jonodholbach, it is in there12:41
dholbachjono: ok cool12:42
jonoI am planning a few posts there this week12:42
dholbachjussi01: I'm happy to take somebody's "word of honour" for it as soon as they step up as a leader12:42
dholbachI personally don't think we need a technical implementation for it12:42
pleia2at the end of the the CoC there is a clause about leaders being required to follow the LCoC12:42
dholbachah cool :)12:42
jussi01oh, I didnt notice that. :)12:43
dholbach #include <lcoc>    :-)12:43
jussi01hehe12:43
dholbachmaybe a word about sharing best-practices on https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/team-council-members ?12:43
dholbachbut maybe that's too obvious :)12:43
jonodholbach, indeed12:44
* popey wasnt aware of that list12:44
jonoI would like to encourage people to use that list as a means of sharing best practice as well as asking for help with governance issues12:44
jonopopey, this reminds me, we need to ensure the new CC is on12:44
pleia2popey: I wasn't either :)12:44
jonopopey, it is a list for Ubuntu community governance board members12:45
jonopleia2, popey I will add you if that is ok?12:45
pleia2jono: yes, thank you12:45
jononp12:45
dholbachanything else you want to include/change on  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil/Delegation/Proposal ?12:46
popeyjono: sure12:46
jonocool12:46
popeyalan@popey.com12:46
jonodholbach, looks good, I think it hits the main points12:46
jussi01dholbach: you may want to actually ad the address for the tem council list there? or a link to the lists.ubuntu.com page for it12:46
dholbachjussi01: I think sabdfl is editing right now12:47
sabdflok, take a look now12:50
sabdflsorry for the deep dive on the doc12:50

paulliuSo we are going to establish another PPA. OEM team have to update all the packages before this week.14:30

StevenKpaulliu: Why?14:31
NCommanderpaulliu, OW14:31
NCommanderpaulliu, I do hope that the soversions and friends have been properly bumped14:31
paulliuDon't worry. Personally I'll update Debian packages with OEM team so in Lucid we'll have newer versions.14:31
GrueMasterI haven't had a chance to run a comparison with upstream, mainly because they are missing a lot of necessary bits from their repository.14:31
loolIt seems we didn't cover the UNR nor the moblin bugs14:31
plarsGrueMaster: that's a decent improvement from the previous, was that due to config changes, additional packages you installed, fixes made in the packages? what?14:32

Keybukmdz: ?15:15
smoserthis is my topic, but I am not exactly sure what is expected of me.15:15
mdzsmoser sent an RFC to ubuntu-devel15:16
smoserthe link above describes the proposal regarding support / updates to ec2 images.15:16
mdzthe basic issue is that Ubuntu for EC2 is distributed as a pre-installed image15:16
mdzand the EC2 model is such that updates are not applied in the usual manner15:16
mdz(if they are, it needs to be done on every boot)15:17
mdzso he has proposed that we should periodically refresh the images to incorporate updates15:17
keessounds reasonable.15:17
Keybukah, I wondered what he was proposing15:17
mdzhe hasn't received any feedback on the proposal yet15:17
cjwatsonthat's the case for live CDs too, but I can see how UEC images are different since the usage model is different15:17
Keybukhe used lots of terms and abbreviations that only cloud people know ;)15:17
smoser(above, it is not on "every boot", but on every first boot of a new instance)15:18
Keybukso it's entirely possible nobody outside of the UEC team knew what he was on about <g>15:18
mdzKeybuk: he did explain pretty clearly in the email, but it was long15:18
Keybukmdz: I disagree15:18
KeybukI read the entire e-mail15:18
Keybukan I've just re-read it15:18
Keybukand your one line explanation was far clearer15:18
Keybuk(remember, you know about cloud - I don't)15:19
mdzon EC2, the root filesystem and kernel are published separately, so it is possible to update the kernel while leaving the root filesystem alone, and vice versa15:19
mdzso he has proposed separate policies for when to update each15:19
cjwatsonmy main concern is release management; we know that point releases are a big whack of work, so this needs to be much more lightweight15:19
keesI would think a place like www.ubuntu.com/ec2-version-query/... would make a better official place to get AMI updates than on ~soren15:19
mdzwhen the kernel is updated, the rootfs would always be updated as well (since it contains the modules)15:19
Keybukis the rootfs like a ramfs?15:20
mdzkees: smoser is in the process of replacing the (prototype) ~soren thing with something more official15:20
Keybukor is the ramdisk something different?15:20
mdzKeybuk: it's typically a compressed writable filesystem15:20
mdzthe ramdisk is the initrd15:20
smoserKeybuk, rootfs is a partition image (consumed by xen)15:20
mdzso there is kernel (AKI) and ramdisk (ARI)15:20
Keybukwhat about the cases where you update the ramdisk and accidentally include updates to things like udev that aren't on the rootfs yet?15:21
mdzan AMI is a rootfs + a reference to an AKI and ARI used to boot it15:21
mdzsmoser: have I got that right?15:21
smosermdz, yes.15:21
Keybukif you update the kernel, you need to update the initrd and root filesystem since they have modules on them15:21
mdzwhen an EC2 user wants to start a new Ubuntu system up, they just specify the AMI they want15:21
Keybukif you update the root filesystem, you need to update the initrd too because it contains bits of it15:21
keesKeybuk: AIUI, you run the risk of hosing your image.15:21
mdzthe AMI is a short, inscrutable hex number15:22
Keybukif you update the initrd, you run the disk of including updates that aren't on the root filesystem yet15:22
Keybukseparate policies for them seems like a very bad idea15:22
smoserKeybuk, i will admit to not having thought of that.  However, the proposal is that a kernel update indicates a new root. so it should not be an issue.15:22
sabdflare there items in the ramdisk which could trigger an update too? as i read it, it's only kernel updates that do so15:22
keesI think the point is that it's not just the kernel changing that should trigger an ARI/AMI update.15:23
Keybuksmoser: so when would you not just update all three bits at the same time?15:23
Keybukas I see it, kernel implies initrd and rootfs update15:23
smoserany time the rootfs is updated it will take the most recent kernel/ramdisk at the time.15:23
Keybukinitrd means you must also update the rootfs otherwise you'll screw yourself one day15:23
Keybukrootfs means you must also update the initrd15:24
Keybuksmoser: you can't do that15:24
smoserany time kernel/ramdisk is updated (in builds) it forces a refresh of root15:24
Keybukif you update the rootfs, you must update the ramdisk too15:24
mdza rootfs update does not generally require a kernel update, and may not require an initrd update15:24
Keybukmdz: disagree strongly15:24
mdzKeybuk: generally, yes, but not always15:24
mdzKeybuk: an update to screen or w3m does not require a new initrd15:25
cjwatsoncan we determine this ad-hoc, based on (e.g.) the set of updates since the last image?15:25
mdzKeybuk: I don't necessarily disagree with you that we should update them in sync, as that would be simpler15:25
Keybukmdz: and the cost of determining that for each release?15:25
Keybukthat starts to put a larger release management overhead for these15:25
cjwatsonwe can tell automatically whether a package calls update-initramfs in its postinst, plus perhaps a small number of exceptions15:25
cjwatson(e.g. busybox-initramfs, don't ask)15:25
Keybukmy between-the-lines reading was that you wanted light release management of "update the images this week"15:26
Keybukis there a Bad Thing of just updating the three bits together15:26
Keybukat least then you vastly reduce your testing matrix15:26
mdzwe want a clear (preferably automatable) test to say "yes it is time to roll an update"15:26
Keybukotherwise you really should be testing all combinations of kernel, initrd and rootfs15:26
smoserI apologize for being dense here, but I believe the proposal is to update the 3 bits together.15:26
smoserKeybuk, where do you see something that doesn't state that?15:27
Keybuksmoser: honestly, I can't understand half of your proposal15:27
KeybukI don't know what an aki, ami, ari or uzi are ;)15:27
smoserKeybuk, fair enough.15:27
mdzKeybuk: I just explained15:27
Keybukcan we not just simply it to "UEC Image" ?15:28
Keybukrather than resorting to jargon?15:28
sabdflthe proposal is mostly useful to people who do understand ubuntu and ec2. now that mdz's explained, scott, you could read it again and see if you're happy with it in the light of your newfound insight ;-)15:28
mdzKeybuk: sure15:29
cjwatson"At the time of publish, AMIs will be associated with the latest AKI/ARI15:29
cjwatsonthat is available."15:29
cjwatsonI think Scott is requesting that we just bundle up a new AKI/ARI at the same time, too15:29
Keybuksabdfl: I am doing so, and I think the proposal is still vastly overworded now I think I get it15:30
cjwatsonor at least a new ARI (initrd), it's probably fairly easy to see when the AKI (kernel) doesn't need to change15:30
Keybukcjwatson: right, I think that's what I mean15:30
keesIIUC, proposal is: if anything changes in kernel or ramdisk, AKI/ARI/AMI is generated.  otherwise, just AMI.15:30
mdzkees: that's my understanding as well15:31
sabdflcan we always detect that something needs to change in the rd?15:31
keeswhich means as long as there is a way to discover "current AMI", a user will always have the latest of everything published.15:31
sabdflkees: no, i don't think the proposal is to roll a new set every time there is any update at all15:32
mdzkees: which is covered by the "Currency" section15:32
sabdfljust kernel updates, major security updates, and when the queue of updates is big15:32
cjwatsonsabdfl: initrd change> yes (I think), but it may be more work than is worth it15:32
smoserif there is a reason to always update kernel/ramdisk with each new AMI, then I do not have a good reason why that should not occur.15:32
Keybuksmoser: I don't think you need to update the kernel bit (AKI?)15:33
keessabdfl: right, I should restate it as: when something important changes in kernel or ramdisk, AKI/ARI/AMI is generated.  otherwise, just AMI.15:33
Keybukif there's no new kernel, that's a static image15:33
cjwatsonthe initrd is tiny and quick to build by comparison with the rest15:33
Keybukif you can auto-detect whether a new ARI is needed for a given AMI, then ok, otherwise I'd recommend always rolling a new ARI with a new AMI15:33
Keybuk(did I get that right? :p)15:33
smoserKeybuk, ah. ok. now i'm undertanding the problem.15:33
cjwatsonKeybuk: my counter-proposal would be: when something important changes in kernel or ramdisk, AKI/ARI/AMI is generated.  otherwise, ARI and AMI15:33
cjwatsonkees: ^-15:34
Keybukcjwatson: isn't that what I just said? :p15:34
cjwatsonKeybuk: sorry, I meant to direct that to kees15:34
keescjwatson, Keybuk: yeah, good.15:34
cjwatsonthis is basically just defensive programming, since it's not trivial (not *that* hard, but) to tell when the initrd needs to change, and it's not that expensive to just change it anyway15:34
Keybukcjwatson: agree15:35
mdzsmoser: is there any cost related to releasing a new ARI which we might not be aware of?15:35
smosernot that i can think of.15:35
Keybuk. o O { why do UEC images have ramdisks anyway, surely the kernel can just mount the rootfs? }15:36
smoseronly that I had previously assumed kernel:ramdisk was 1:1, not 1:N15:36
mdzok, in that case I think I more or less agree with cjwatson, except s/ or ramdisk/15:36
mdzi.e.: if the kernel changes, roll a new AKI/ARI/AMI, otherwise, roll new ARI/AMI with the old AKI15:36
Keybukmdz: right, good catch15:36
KeybukARI changes means ARI/AMI not AKI/ARI/AMI15:37
keesKeybuk: I thought you had concerns about ramdisky things like udev?15:37
cjwatsonmdz: yes15:37
mdzKeybuk: good question15:37
mdzsmoser: is it possible to omit the ramdisk, technically?15:37
Keybukkees: ramdisky things like udev would be fine in that situation - my concern is the udev version in the ramdisk and rootfs being out of sync with each other15:38
smoserfrom a 'allowed by amazon' perspective, yes15:38
Keybukkees: since they transfer data by a secret protocol known to no man that changes with the winds ;)15:38
=== RainCT_ is now known as RainCT
smoseri'm not sure as to whether or not our kernels have all the needed drivers built in. but obviously they could.15:38
mdzobviously that's not an option for 9.1015:39
smoserright.15:39
mdzor older releases15:39
mdzso we need to address the ramdisk question anyway15:39
keesKeybuk: ok15:39
mdzand can look at whether it can be eliminated in lucid15:39
Keybukso, new AKI -> new AKI/ARI/AMI15:39
Keybuknew ARI or AMI -> new ARI/AMI15:39
Keybuk?15:39
mdzsmoser: do we presently provide any mechanism by which updates can be automatically installed at boot time?15:40
smoservia user-data.15:40
mdzor is that something that users have to roll their own?15:40
smoserie, if user boots with '--user-data "#!/bin/sh\napt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade"'15:40
mdzsmoser: ok, so they can pass in a script which does it, but we don't provide a simple toggle or anything15:40
smoserthat will get done.15:40
smosermdz, correct, we do not.15:40
smoserthere is not at the moment a general "config" like format to feed to an instance, only scripts.15:41
mdzsmoser: ok, so for 9.10 purposes, users are on their own with regard to keeping up to date15:42
smosercorrect.15:42
mdzin that case, does it make sense to measure the size of updates or time to install?15:42
mdzshould we rather just update it every N days or whenever there's a critical issue?15:42
mdz(for 9.10)15:42
mdzkees: have you considered how this would tie into the security team's process?  presumably the USN should mention the new AMI where appropriate15:43
smoserI do not have the experience with SRU that others here have. but it seems that updating every N days when there are zero (or very few) updates is overkill.15:43
keesmdz: we have been pushing for ec2 to have a way for people to "get the latest".  I don't want to delay kernel publications on an update of AKI.15:44
mdzsmoser: my point was, if that criterion is based on the assumption that everyone will install updates at boot, is that a valid assumption given that it relies on the user to implement it manually?15:44
mdzkees: what if the security team could push a new AKI?15:44
smoserthat is a valid question.  I have had the feeling from others that it is fairly common to do update on first (or every) boot15:45
mdzsmoser: which is an EC2 question rather than SRU15:45
mdzsmoser: ok15:45
keesmdz: I would rather got gain that responsibility as it sets a bad precedence.  we are basically "upstream" for all derivatives.15:45
mdzsmoser: we certainly shouldn't do an update if there are no updates to packages in the image15:46
smoserrealize that the image as it is is basically useless, so each instance that is created will have *something* done to it to make it useful to the user15:46
sabdflcould we move all the kernel bits from the rootfs into the rd?15:46
smoserlikely they realize that one of the things they should do is update15:46
mdzsmoser: right, and we are assuming that a standard part of everyone's user-data script (who cares about security) is to install updates15:46
smosercorrect15:46
mdzwhich seems reasonable at this stage, though in the future I think we should explore simplifying that15:46
mdze.g. have unattended-upgrades automatically run at boot on EC2?15:47
mdzsomething to think about for the future15:47
smoseryes. i think that it is reasonable to have that as a default that can be easily turned off15:48
* kees agrees strongly15:48
mdzsmoser: it sounds like there is general agreement that 1) it is appropriate to issue new images periodically, 2) when to update AKI vs. ARI vs. AMI15:48
mdzdoes anyone have concerns with smoser's proposal to refresh based on time-to-install-updates or an approximation thereof?15:49
sabdflfine by me15:49
Keybukseems ok15:49
mdzhow about the support lifetime section, which basically says we will continue to provide updated images for the maintenance lifetime of the product?15:50
keesit was time-to-install or security update criticality  (AMI Updates / Stable Releases / a & b)15:50
mdzfor 8.04 LTS and 9.10+15:50
Keybukthat seems logical15:50
sabdfl+115:50
mdzkees: yes, thanks for the correction15:50
* kees now15:50
keeser15:50
Keybukwe support an Ubuntu install with some updates installed for the same time period15:50
* kees nods15:50
Keybukphilosophically speaking, these images are just an alternate way of providing the same updates15:51
mdzso I think that leaves only 1) how users will find out about, and start using, the new AMIs (Currency)15:51
mdzare there any other outstanding questions or concerns?15:51
mdzI agree with Keybuk that it would help if the document were condensed15:52
mdznow that we have consensus, it should probably be made more procedural, i.e. step-by-step decision-making and release process, rather than explanation/RFC15:52
smoserI will update the wiki document.15:54
Keybukok15:54
Keybukanything else on this topic?15:54
mdzif there are no other questions, I suggest that the next steps should be: 1. smoser to redraft, and 2. continue working on a system to allow users to find the right AMI15:54
keessounds right15:55

mdzit is not marked as a regression16:12
kirklandmdz: possibly; the consensus from upstream was that dynamic block storage attach/detach are not heavily used or tested16:12
jdstrandthe attach/detach work16:13
kirklandmdz: given eucalyptus' dependency on that, it might be worth us investing some time/effort testing and developing this upstream16:13
mdzjdstrand: is it a regression?16:13
jdstrandthat is what I was testing, and I accidentally attached a device two times in a row with the same target dev16:13
jdstrandand it segfaulted16:13
jdstrandI did not test on jaunty, but I can16:13
smoserit is not a regression from jaunty16:13
mdzok, in that case I would not  consider it critical for karmic16:14
ttxif its avoidable in normal use, I would not keep it as a RC bug16:14
smoserit was at best random success there.16:14
mdzit likely doesn't affect eucalyptus16:14
mdzand it doesn't sound like a "normal" use case16:14
jdstrandI can say that anyone in the libvirtd group, or with qemu+ssh//<host>/system access can DoS libvirtd with this16:14
ttxmdz: should we still keep it as a karmic-nominated bug ?16:14
mdzttx: smoser and I discussed bug 451881. since it only affects UEC, and not EC2, it is not critical for karmic (though he will continue to investigate)16:15

kirklandsounds support has come and gone, come and gone in karmic16:26
mdzthis is Medium, which I agree with; not sure why it's targeted to Karmic though16:26
mdzoh, because it's a regression16:26
mdzjdstrand: er, yes, my last question was about 453453, not 45349516:26
kirklandi have verified that sound works when running kvm from the command line16:26
kirklandbut not when through libvirt16:26
jdstrandactually, I see it work in libvirt too16:27
mdzkirkland: when run through libvirt, does sound just not work, or does it make the VM unusable?16:27
jdstrandI think it is highly dependent on what is going on in the host as to whether or not it hangs the guest when initializing the sound device or if there is sound at all in the guest16:27
kirklandmdz: i saw the hang jdstrand mentions for the first time on Friday16:27
kirklandmdz: it's a race or something; non-deterministic failure16:27
jdstrandI agree with kirkland's assessment16:28
* kirkland borrowed jdstrand's assessment, probably :-)16:28
mdzkirkland: if it's come and gone, was there an earlier bug report about it?16:28
jdstrandprobably why it sounded *so right* ;)16:28
kirklandmdz: no16:29
mdzat this point it doesn't seem realistic to do anything about this bug for 9.10, though we could consider it for SRU16:29

mdzsmoser?16:31
smoseri just pushed  a branch with a suggested fix.16:32
smoserits very trivial, just catch the error and fall back.16:32
smoserrather than not catching error and failing with python trace16:32
mdzsmoser: does it cause the UEC images to fail to initialize correctly?16:32
ttxsmoser: that would involve a UEC/EC2 image respin, but not an ISO respin, right16:32
mdzttx: correct16:33
=== bdmurray_ is now known as bdmurray
smoserit does cause UEC images to fail to initialize correctly.  They do not get locale set.16:33
smoseri believe that they still have a functional /etc/apt/sources.list though.16:33
mdzsmoser: ok, milestoned for 9.1016:34

kirklandthose are two links to documentation16:53
ttx[1] is in reasonably good shape16:53
kirklandwe also have testcases in the iso testing wiki16:54

ttxthough I don't have the necessary hw to tset multicomponent, I can test the "by package" install16:55
kirklandor just let it grow organically?16:55
mathiazkirkland: as this is what I'm mostly doing in my installs16:55
kirklandmdz: i've been driving my installs from the testcases wiki ... i was thinking of shifting to drive my installs from the documentation16:56
ttxI think [2] should be split between two scenarios, multicomponent and multicluster16:56
kirklandmdz: once we all started working from the test cases wiki, it really improved dramatically16:56
kirklandi think something along these lines will help16:56
kirklandbut with more focus on explanation16:57
kirklandrather than copy-n-paste commands16:57
mdzkirkland: it would make sense to have one set of setup instructions, and just reference that16:57
* mathiaz thinks testcases and documentation should be merged at some point in the future16:57
kirklandmdz: of course16:57
ttxmathiaz: the testcase is script-oriented, the doc is human-readability-oriented16:57
