[16:59] hey dholbach [16:59] * blackxored is here :P [16:59] Afternoon. [16:59] I'm here [16:59] gobble [17:00] * geser waves [17:00] hola [17:00] #startmeeting [17:00] Meeting started at 11:00. The chair is dholbach. [17:00] Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] [17:01] * tseliot waves [17:01] [TOPIC] Evan Broder's MOTU Application [17:01] New Topic: Evan Broder's MOTU Application [17:01] [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EvanBroder/MOTUApplication [17:01] LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EvanBroder/MOTUApplication [17:01] hey ebroder - how are you doing? [17:01] hey - not too bad. excited, nervous, etc [17:01] it's all good :) [17:02] ebroder: so you said you're a bit unhappy about the sponsoring process... is there any ideas you have about how we could fix it? by something other than spending more time on it? anything that would improve the situation? [17:03] i'm not really sure what there is to do besides make sure the sponsorship queue gets the attention it needs [17:03] i did think about this some more recently, though [17:03] it occurred to me that i might be more frustrated with sru handling than normal uploads [17:03] since that's a lot of what i do [17:03] (i mean to go back and edit that on the application, but forgot) [17:03] heh, I am looking at build failures you had, and on the build status page, there is a head shot of cjwatson smiling at me...kind of scared me :p [17:04] ebroder: So would you be interested in getting involved with the SRU team if you become a MOTU? [17:04] I see, maybe we should have a chat about SRU separately from this meeting though :) [17:04] ebroder: do you remember you had the build failures for zephyr and mit-scheme in jaunty? sorry, my LP connect is buggered right now...what were the reasons behind those? [17:04] nhandler: Absolutely [17:05] nixternal: Not off the top of my head - let me glance at the logs [17:05] mit-scheme is just a weird package to begin with [17:05] nixternal: bug #427051 . [17:05] Launchpad bug 427051 in soyuz "Copy archives show their owner too prominently" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/427051 [17:06] nixternal: looks like the zephyr failure was krb4-related? that's weird - shouldn't have happened in jaunty, though [17:06] "I think the MOTU community needs to collectively buckle down and agree to pressure each other to spend more time on sponsoring other people's patches." - considering that 99.9% of MOTU are volunteers, what would you propose here that would work for them [17:06] note: the whole volunteer excuse is pathetic to me btw...I don't like when people won't fix something because they are just a volunteer supposedly [17:07] nixternal: I'm not sure how you can do it as anything other than setting expectations and atmosphere [17:08] jpds: what about that bug? [17:08] It's obvious that Ubuntu can't survive without extensive help from the community, so I think helping people outside of the relatively inner circle of MOTUs is an important part of keeping Ubuntu going [17:08] When you look at it that way, it's sort of self-destructive to /not/ do sponsorship and such [17:09] groovy answer :) [17:09] is there any team you could imagine working with apart from motu? [17:09] groovy feedback too [17:10] dholbach: I'm hoping to get involved with backports more actively. It all comes back to dealing with a deployment that lags behind Ubuntu development, so I'm interested in getting bug fixes and new software to the machines I'm responsible for [17:10] nice [17:10] * dholbach is done with questions [17:10] * nixternal too [17:11] geser, jpds, nhandler? [17:11] catching up with scrollback [17:12] nixternal: You know, I'm still really confused by those mit-scheme and zephyr FTBFS's. I don't think I recognize them at all [17:12] ebroder: So besides SRUs and Backports (which are both great), what type of work are you planning on doing for the current development release if you become a MOTU ? [17:13] * nixternal notes there is a deep fried turkey with his name written all over it [17:13] * nixternal also notes there are pumpkin pies galore that specifically say 'nixternal only! you touch, I install Windows on your PC!' [17:14] nhandler: I'm not really sure I know yet. I don't think I've ever been as actively involved in a development release as I'd like to be for Lucid. The stuff I do is usually more reactionary [17:15] * nixternal notes that SRUs will take up most of ones time anyways :) [17:15] * nixternal is noting quite a bit today [17:15] Ok, I'm ready to vote [17:15] only jpds and geser left :) [17:15] nixternal: if it's deep fried then you are in no hurry during this meeting. It won't get colder :) [17:16] no questions for ebroder [17:16] I'm fine. [17:16] [VOTE] Shall Evan Broder become MOTU? [17:16] Please vote on: Shall Evan Broder become MOTU?.

It will be nice having another person working on SRUs and Backports. Keep up the great work. [17:17] Congratulations ebroder [17:17] whoo! [17:17] :-) [17:17] thanks all :-D [17:17] congrats [17:17] ebroder, congrats [17:17] [TOPIC] Alberto Milone's Core Dev application [17:17] New Topic: Alberto Milone's Core Dev application [17:17] ebroder: congrats. :) [17:17] [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlbertoMilone/CoreDeveloperApplication [17:17] LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlbertoMilone/CoreDeveloperApplication [17:18] o/ [17:18] tseliot: Buon Giorno Alberto :) [17:18] how are you doing? [17:18] dholbach: exhausted because of my work on plymouth but otherwise fine, thanks. You? [17:18] a bit tired myself, but it's all good :) [17:19] good :-) [17:19] hrmm, I figured tseliot would have more testimonials considering his god-like work with X [17:19] you mentioned you work with X.org upstream - how are things going there? [17:19] nixternal: I guess they were busy ;) [17:20] no doubt [17:20] dholbach: quite well. They also gave me an account on freedesktop so that I can contribute to plymouth [17:20] and I'm working very closely with upstream [17:20] nice, I'm glad to hear that [17:20] I will give my brief testimonial on where I worked a little with tseliot back in the day...he did some X work for Kubuntu at UDS Jaunty \o/ and lets not forget his groovy touchpad drivers for the dell mini 10v that made my life easier as well a couple of months back [17:21] * tseliot is working on the boot process for Lucid [17:21] tseliot: How is your UI for configuring touchpads coming along? [17:21] tseliot: do you know if there are any plans for BulletproofX this cycle? I mean the little dialogue that help you fix things? [17:22] nhandler: it stalled because of my lack of time but I'll work on it and on touchscreens in this release cycle as I'll join the desktop team (for a team swap, as I'm an OEM engineer) [17:22] dholbach: I think there are plans for that as we want to make X more robust in general [17:23] bryce is the right person to ask on that [17:23] alrightie - was just wondering :) [17:23] I'll try to fix the mess with proprietary drivers and some other X stuff [17:23] tseliot: any more working coming for the touchpad on dell mini's? or are the touchpads on them so bad it is darn near impossible to make them any better? [17:23] sounds like a busy time [17:24] dholbach: it sure is [17:24] nixternal: do yo refer to the mini 10v? [17:24] yes [17:24] if so, then yes, I'm afraid there's nothing more I can do about it. [17:24] the switch from hal to udev should make it more reliable though [17:25] I kind of figured that unfortunately.... /me kicks dell [17:25] as sometimes the fdi cache is corrupted and my fix is ignored [17:25] I have kicked Mario enough [17:25] hehe [17:25] I am done with questions....I am ready to rock and roll [17:25] I'm good to vote [17:25] * dholbach too [17:25] Yep. [17:26] whoa, he said something without a ping first :p [17:26] geser? [17:26] geser? [17:26] haha [17:26] * geser is ready to vote [17:27] [VOTE] Shall Alberto Milone be recommended for Core Dev?

[17:27] congrats, tseliot [17:27] We'll pass our nomination on to the DMB and they'll get in touch with you [17:28] thanks everyone :-) [17:28] ok, great [17:28] tseliot, cool :P [17:28] [TOPIC] Application of Adrian Perez for upload rights for azureus, swt-gtk and eclips [17:28] New Topic: Application of Adrian Perez for upload rights for azureus, swt-gtk and eclips [17:28] [TOPIC] Application of Adrian Perez for upload rights for azureus, swt-gtk and eclipse [17:28] New Topic: Application of Adrian Perez for upload rights for azureus, swt-gtk and eclipse [17:28] [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdrianPerez/PerPackageUploaderApplication [17:29] LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdrianPerez/PerPackageUploaderApplication [17:29] hello blackxored - how are you doing? [17:29] looks like last-minute application :-) [17:29] I'm fine daniel thanks [17:29] great [17:29] * bdrung_ is here, too. [17:29] nice [17:29] surely it does, I'm not sure we can complete today :( [17:30] and yourself? [17:30] blackxored: your application does not have any endorsements from other people you worked with... who did you work with particularly in Ubuntu and/or debian? [17:30] * dholbach is doing quite well, thanks :) [17:30] dholbach: press f5 [17:30] bdrung_, hehehe [17:30] heh [17:31] I have worked with bdrung, nthykier, and slytherin on ubuntu [17:31] bdrung_: appreciated [17:31] I see bdrung_'s testimonial [17:31] the most of it [17:31] I was going to ask if you worked with bdrung_ first === turk33 is now known as turk33|smoked [17:31] sadly, neither slythering or nthykier seem active [17:32] blackxored: is there anything you are most proud of in your work with Ubuntu and Debian? [17:32] nthykier is debian user (so he do not count) [17:32] dholbach, definitely the azureus resurrection, that was hard-work :P [17:33] blackxored: What do you plan on doing if you gain upload rights for these packages? === turk33|smoked is now known as turk33 [17:33] blackxored: I'm curious, what did the work to resurrect it entail? === turk33 is now known as gob === gob is now known as turk33 [17:34] bdrung_, good point, but worked with him :P [17:35] bdrung_: if nthykier was here, I'd value the input :) [17:35] dholbach, it was something like idiomatic expression, I had to re-package, clean a huge backlog of bugs, restart contact with upstream, and the like [17:35] I enjoyed doing all that, no complains [17:35] yeah, I guess so :) [17:35] blackxored: anything during the resurrection which was really hard? [17:36] dholbach: i contacted him (let's see if he is online) [17:36] really really hard [17:36] I don't think so [17:36] the bugs probably [17:36] * blackxored thinks dholbach liked the term "resurrection" hehehe [17:37] like contacting the upstream developers about the problems and making sure they start working on them? [17:37] blackxored: What do you plan on doing if you gain upload rights for these packages? [17:37] dholbach, no, that was easy, I have a pretty good integration with upstream devs there, I crash the team's head twice a week or so [17:38] * dholbach takes notes: violent character, crashes heads [17:38] * nixternal was looking for doko [17:38] nhandler, by working as a team of course, but i think I would be great to provide a clean integration within the debian packages and the ubuntu ones, the upstream fixes, and the like [17:39] dholbach, hehehe it was also idiomatic :P [17:39] :) [17:39] blackxored: in the packaging, is there a lot of .jar juggling involved? is it very likely to break? (note that I have little experience with java packaging) [17:39] nhandler, example, we have an ubuntu delta in azureus, I've strongly tested that can be dropped, it prevents sync for that package, and it was introduced in an early stage of karmic because of a hotspot bug [17:40] dholbach, eclipse is the one which jars make me cry, otherwise cdbs is clean enough for our purposes [17:40] I have also worked with the jigsaw project for java packaging for linux distros, but the project seems on hold right now [17:41] blackxored: how is working in Ubuntu different than working in Debian? [17:42] wow, there was a ton of work that went into azureus [17:42] blackxored: have you worked with doko at all? [17:42] nixternal, thanks [17:42] nixternal, you mean Mathias Klose [17:42] ? [17:43] dholbach, version numbers [17:43] dholbach, dependencies sometimes [17:43] dholbach, the bug tracker [17:43] blackxored: yes [17:43] dholbach, policy-related [17:43] FYI: nthykier is here. he is the third person in our "eclipse team" [17:43] dholbach, specific bugs that only affect ubuntu [17:43] dholbach, like the one in azureus I've been talking about [17:44] blackxored: how was your experience getting things done in Ubuntu? [17:44] dholbach, ellaborate on that [17:44] nthykier: thanks a bunch for turning up here [17:44] nixternal, I think he sponsored some uploads for me in debian [17:45] blackxored: I would expect that somebody who worked in other places in open source and Debian, might need some time to figure out "how everything works" in Ubuntu [17:45] dholbach: you are welcome; though I think I only got 15 min. time hole right now [17:45] nthykier: how long have you been working togethere with nthykier? [17:45] errr [17:45] that was obviously wrong :) [17:45] nthykier: how long have you been working togethere with blackxored? [17:45] lol [17:46] dholbach, I know how stuff works in ubuntu, you may want to be a little more specific about your question, coudl you? [17:46] dholbach, heheh [17:46] * bdrung_ wonders how long nthykier worked without himself. [17:46] bdrung_, ;) [17:46] dholbach: First one, about 22 years, real tight, never let me down! [17:46] blackxored: I just wanted to know generally how you found your way into Ubuntu and how it all worked out for you. if it was obvious and the like [17:46] nthykier: glad to hear that - it's encouraging :) [17:47] dholbach, I switched to ubuntu since 7.04 or so, mostly because of the release process [17:47] dholbach: about blackxored I started working with him when he offered to help with packaging eclipse in Debian. [17:47] dholbach, and started contributing as soon as I realized I have the skills to do so, both for debian and ubuntu :P [17:48] nthykier: how steep do you think the learning curve is for somebody getting involved with Java packaging? [17:48] dholbach, as an addon I liked your MOTU videos [17:48] heheh [17:48] * nixternal notes: brown nosing [17:48] ;p [17:48] blackxored: and you feel you got a feel for the processes, how the people worked and everything easily enough? was there anything that felt easier than the other? [17:48] blackxored: thanks for the flowers :) [17:49] dholbach: (it took me two year to work on java packages) [17:49] jeesh, the diffs with azureus were insane...I am stuck in a diff view that is nuts :) [17:49] dholbach, what's definitely easier in ubuntu is that packaging is a big team [17:49] blackxored: what do you mean by big team? [17:49] dholbach, I disliked that approach at the beginning, someone touching your packages [17:49] dholbach: Hmm; not sure; I seem to have caught on it rather fast myself, but I have had some practice with java prior to packaging it [17:49] dholbach, no single maintainer [17:50] blackxored: ah, gotcha [17:50] dholbach, but then realized that team work is a god-send :P [17:50] dholbach, np [17:50] nthykier: and the same was true for bdrung_ and blackxored? all "java packaging" naturals? [17:50] dholbach, not really [17:50] dholbach, normally developer, used to java, recommendation to join the team, that's how it happened [17:51] I am ready to vote [17:51] no more questions here :) [17:51] dholbach: I admit not having created a java package from scratch - there has been enough java packages in Debian needing care that I am yet to find time to this. [17:51] dholbach, it was natural to be aquantianed with the language of the app, that's the way I have made patches easily [17:52] geser, jpds, nhandler: any more questions? [17:52] I'm good for voting [17:53] still no questions [17:53] geser: sorry, must have missed it [17:53] did we lose jpds already? [17:53] anyway, we have quorum, let's vote [17:54] [VOTE] Shall Adrian Perez be recommended for upload rights for eclipse, azureus and swt-gtk?

[17:56] dholbach: you are welcome [17:56] congrats blackxored [17:56] I'll be in touch with you guys about frontlinesms packaging soon :) [17:56] thank you guys, hopefully for this lucid cycle I'll be noticeable for MOTU [17:56] dholbach: np [17:56] there might be some stuff we could work on together - ... and I have no clue :-) [17:57] dholbach, ehehhehe [17:57] [TOPIC] Any other business [17:57] New Topic: Any other business [17:57] dholbach, not many java MOTUs out there, I've heard [17:57] anyway thanks [17:57] :P [17:57] not yet :) [17:57] nothing more here, other than a turkey waiting for me [17:57] * Decide who is going to Updating process approved applications.
