geserpersia, nhandler, nixternal, jpds: here?07:25
kecsap_what happens the mc meeting today?07:33
kecsap_when will it take place07:34
kecsap_?07:34
cyphermoxkecsap_, it's as geser said :)07:34
geserwhen we have quorum07:34
kecsap_ok07:34
kecsap_so waiting....07:34
kecsap_thanks07:34
cyphermoxkecsap_, sorry, i hadn't realized you probably didn't see the messages07:35
kecsap_cyphermox, my laptop was frozen and it was needed to restart it. no problem. :)07:35
geserdholbach: kecsap_ and cyphermox are waiting for us07:56
geserQuintasan|Szel: are you here too?07:57
cyphermoxgeser, dholbach, I'm very sorry but I guess I'll have to reschedule, it's getting really late here and I need to get some sleep... so it's going to be back in January :)08:05
kecsap_from my side, I can still wait, no problem for me08:06
dholbachcyphermox: I'm sorry - either January or we might manage to have an adhoc meeting08:06
cyphermoxnot a problem08:06
* dholbach hugs cyphermox08:07
dholbachsleep tight :)08:07
* cyphermox hugs back08:07
cyphermoxfrom the Meeting page, "Ad-hoc meeting on 11 December 2009 on 14 UTC", is that valid?08:07
gesercyphermox: if 6h of sleep are enough for you :), we are trying to do an adhoc meeting at 14 UTC today08:07
dholbachfor Quintasan|Szel08:07
cyphermoxgeser, my point exactly :)08:07
geserif we reach quorum at that time, yes08:08
cyphermoxalright, I should be there08:08
kecsap_can I still wait or this meeting is obviously lost?08:09
cyphermoxlater!08:09
dholbachkecsap_: I just texted two other MC members - it's an obvious problem we have as the MC is literally spread around the globe08:09
dholbach(east side of the US, Europe and Japan :))08:10
dholbachkecsap_: so if you still have time, don't give up hope yet08:10
kecsap_ok, I still have hope. :)08:11
geserkecsap_: I see in your application page no testimonials and no sponsored uploads. did you work with the community till now?08:13
dholbachkecsap_: you're CsabaKertesz?08:13
kecsap_as I mentioned there I did not work on ubuntu distribution, but on upstream projects08:15
dholbachkecsap_: it's a bit hard for us to approve MOTU membership for people who we haven't seen getting patches into Ubuntu itself08:15
kecsap_that is what I would like to push with my patches now: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv/+bug/31118808:15
ubottuUbuntu bug 311188 in opencv "Fails to find ffmpeg headers" [Low,In progress]08:15
dholbachkecsap_: usually we use the Sponsorship Process to get patches and packages uploaded to Ubuntu for people who are not part of the team yet08:15
dholbach(basically you just subscribe the reviewers team to the bug)08:15
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess has more detail about that08:16
dholbachhaving had a few conversations about patches between reviewers and somebody who applies makes it easier for us to approve membership08:16
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted lists all the other good documentation too08:16
kecsap_so first I should patch some software in lucid and try the membership after that?08:17
dholbachkecsap_: exactly08:17
dholbachkecsap_: so the next time we meet we can have a look at what you've done and what others have said about you08:18
kecsap_ok and how much bugs should I fix for this? :)08:18
dholbachkecsap_: that makes the whole thing more straight-forward than having to make assumptions about what you know and what you don't know :)08:18
dholbachkecsap_: what I find very helpful is talking to sponsors and reviewers08:18
geserthat way you can prove your packaging skills, your knowlegde of the processes and if you can work with others (and others with you)08:18
kecsap_ok08:19
dholbachkecsap_: they might have had a look at a few of your patches and will be happy to add an endorsement to your wiki page08:19
dholbachkecsap_: I really hope you don't see this as a set-back08:19
dholbachkecsap_: we're there in #ubuntu-motu all the time to help with anything you might need08:19
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted should give you all the most important info to get started08:20
kecsap_let's see. if others will be responsive and helpful then no problem08:20
dholbachawesome - the sponsorship process usually works out quite well08:20
kecsap_ok, then I will fix some bugs and update my motu membership application.08:21
dholbachthanks a lot kecsap_08:21
dholbachkecsap_: I really appreciate your understanding08:21
kecsap_thanks to you08:21
dholbachand as I said: #ubuntu-motu has a lot of future friends :)08:21
kecsap_c u on january. :)08:21
dholbachkecsap_: I'll comment out your application from the meeting page for now, ok?08:21
kecsap_ok08:22
dholbachthanks a bunch08:22
dholbachand have a great day!08:22
kecsap_ok, bye08:22

dholbach(this is the agenda for those who haven't seen it yet: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Council/Meeting :-))14:05
persiadholbach: Thanks :)14:06
persiacyphermox: Welcome.  So, what is your motivation for becoming a Contributing Developer?14:06
persia(not why do you develop, but why do you apply for this group now?)14:07
cyphermoxI'm very interested in Ubuntu developer and I think packaging rocks :) My plan is to join the MOTU team, and I see it as another step in becoming more versed into what is going on14:07
dholbachcyphermox: who did you mostly work with in the Ubuntu world?14:08
persiaWell, you're already an Ubuntu Member, so there's no additional rights or permissions that go with being a Contributing Developer.14:08
cyphermoxdholbach, mostly asac and awe as part of the NetworkManager team, which I am now a part of.14:08
dholbachnice14:08
cyphermoxotherwise, I've done work on some patches here and there on other stuff14:08
asacyes.. cyphermox is doing a remarkable job there14:08
cyphermoxe.g. telepathy-butterfly14:08
asacconsider a +1 for me on his application!14:09
cyphermoxI also started this cool little project to test EC2 images, --> lp:checklist ;)14:09
persiageser: dholbach: Do either of you have any other questions?14:10
dholbachpersia: no :)14:10
dholbachpretty uncontroversial :)14:11
geserjust a quick question14:11
geserI see that you got one upload sponsored for hardy, then a longer pause and several uploads for karmic. any specific reason for this long pause?14:11
ScottKcyphermox: In Kubuntu we often have trouble with NetworkManager and the KDE front end getting out of sync.14:11
ScottKWould you be able to help us out with fixing such problems?14:12
cyphermoxgeser, I'd say it's because of my work. kind of busy in some aspects, and following my upload some coworkers convinced me to be more active. jcastro helped out in convincing me too :)14:12
cyphermoxScottK, I'd love to. My C skills aren't perfect, but I believe it's good enough to fix some bugs. I'm much better at python though14:13
geserso you plan to stay active? sounds good :)14:13
cyphermoxOTOH, as I don't use KDE all that much (probably because of the very issues you speak of), I haven't had as much exposure to it as I'd like14:13
cyphermoxgeser, indeed14:14
ScottKWe can fix that ...14:14
ScottKasac gave us some big help the last cycle and we'll miss his assistance.14:14
cyphermoxas I said, work takes a lot of my time -- I'm a sysadmin in a fairly small team to take on *lots* of systems. but I work on Ubuntu whenever I can14:14
asacScottK: good thing is that NM wont be that aggressivley up-to-date in future, so the knetworkmanager upstream delay might already be good enough14:15
ScottKasac: Good to know, just looking for resources if it comes up ....14:15
asacyep14:15
JontheEchidnahopefully they'll support NM 0.8 longer than they did 0.7 ;-) ... but I'm getting off-topic14:16
asackubuntu team should get someone in the netowrk-manager team imo14:16
asacso we can train someone etc.14:16
persiaSo, any more queries for cyphermox ?14:16
dholbachnot from me14:16
persiageser: ?14:17
geserno question from me too14:17
dholbachshall we vote and chase missing votes per mailing list?14:18
persiaOK.  We're unfortunately still not quorate, but given that granting membership to an Ubuntu Member is a no-op, I'm happy to accept success if three of us vote in favour.  Does that sound reasonable dholbach, geser?14:18

persiaQuintasan: How are you doing today?14:22
Quintasanpersia: oh, good, excited :)14:22
persiaQuintasan: I notice that you're really focused in Kubuntu Development.  What prompts you to apply to MOTU rather than as Kubuntu-dev (or is there a parallel application in process?)14:23
* geser has the same question14:23
ScottKpersia: There is a lot of KDE stuff in Universe that kubuntu-dev does not give upload rights for.14:23
persiaScottK: Is that something that ought be addressed, or just a coincidence?14:24
Quintasanpersia: well I think upload rights to main are big responsibility and I'd like to spend some more time on learning packaging, also being a dev involves coding somehow and I recently picked c++14:24
dholbachhow much of https://launchpad.net/~quintasan/+related-software is core Kubuntu?14:24
=== robbiew_ is now known as robbiew
ScottKpersia: I think it's an open question.  Quintasan has shown an interest in the 'long tail' of KDE stuff and has many of the attributes that would make him suitable to be a MOTU gardener.14:25
Quintasandholbach: most of the Uploaded packages with exception to dooble and recorditnow14:25
dholbachalright14:25
dholbachQuintasan: one comment on the application said you might want to consider talking to upstream developer some more. is that on your radar somehow?14:26
persiaQuintasan: What do you think is the best way to tackle the needs-packaging list?14:26
Quintasandholbach: yup, I have gluon to package and I will contact debian-qt-kde devels to consult the package splitting with them14:27
dholbachQuintasan: do you think it's hard to be and stay in touch with upstream kde and upstream debian?14:27
Quintasanpersia: I would first gather all reports that contain unmaintained and WIP application and check whether it's worth packaging or not14:28
persiaQuintasan: So begin a process of discrimination to exclude packages that don't appear to add value?14:28
Quintasandholbach: I really think it depends on type a package, if it's a core package then it can be hard sometimes, like 4.4 packaging :)14:29
Quintasanpersia: something like this, there is no point in including all of available apps out there, is there?14:30
dholbachQuintasan: what did you find problematic or "not so easy" there?14:30
persiaThat's the core of the debate :)  The counter argument is that users should never have to go anywhere else for software.14:30
Quintasandholbach: I had few problems with libs and missing files but I sorted them out after few hours.14:31
dholbachQuintasan: with upstreams help? :)14:31
Quintasandholbach: not really, though there were few changes in okteta and I needed to consult with upstream what to do with files14:32
dholbachalright14:32
dholbachQuintasan: how's the polish ubuntu translations scene?14:32
Quintasandholbach: I think quite good. There are many skilled translators and I saw movement on our mailing list14:33
dholbachthat's great to hear14:33
persiaQuintasan: I notice a number of build failures from some of your recent uploads (e.g. kdeadmin).  What steps have you taken to address these?14:34
QuintasanAFAIK everything with exception to kdegames was built successfully.14:36
* ScottK notes for the record that he had build failures with the recent KDE 4.4 beta too. It was a complex transition.14:36
RiddellI'd like to reitterate my comments on Quintasan's application, he's learnt well and would be a positive contribution to MOTU and KDE packages in universe if approved14:36
JontheEchidnayeah, 4.4 beta was brutal14:37
QuintasanI just can nod :)14:37
persiaI'm sure it was.  I'm more curious about Quintasan's explanation of the process to address the failures than that the source happened to be difficult.14:37
Quintasanpersia: I can't quite remember having problems with kdeadmin though I might have forgotten to change *.so version, that was the most common source of build failures for me14:38
Quintasanlet me look in bzr14:39
JontheEchidnaQuintasan: there was a build-dep on libx11-dev that was forgotten14:39
JontheEchidnabut I missed that in my sponsoring of your package, so I'm just as much to blame as you14:39
Riddellwhich was actually an issue elsewhere14:39
JontheEchidnayeah, that too14:39
persiaQuintasan: Feel free to pick another example package.  It's that the last several showed up at https://launchpad.net/~quintasan/+related-software rather than kdeadmin specifically14:39
JontheEchidnamost of those other ones are just ports failures, as far as I can see14:40
QuintasanI was about to type this14:40
JontheEchidnaAll ports excpet powerpc I believe are a bit busted at the moment14:40
Quintasanpersia: AFAIK ports are most problematic14:41
JontheEchidnawait, not powerpc14:41
Quintasanarmel?14:41
JontheEchidnasparc14:41
JontheEchidnaall ports except sparc are busted due to failures at a lower-level than kde14:41
QuintasanNot much I can do about this :P14:42
* persia is done with questions, but generally encourages existing developers to let candidates answer questions, as it becomes hard to judge knowledge of processes and procedures, and technical skills when the answers come from many directions :)14:42
persiadholbach: geser: ?14:43
* dholbach is done too14:43
geserno further questions14:43

pittiI expect that the bugs will come once we enable apport again (retracer chroots are now set up, BTW)16:11
pittithere are a couple of X crashes which we need more info on, but right now the apport bit of X is disabled (needs porting)16:12
pittibut by and large the udevified X caused way less trouble than anticipated16:12
slangasekI'll withhold my own judgement on that until my X server stops crashing when I close my lid ;)16:13
pittioh?16:13
slangasekbug is filed - just an idle comment, don't worry about it :)16:13
pittiwrt desktop-lucid-une: Didier Roche will work on this, but he only starts on January 7th16:13
pittiso we'll handle that during his induction sprint in Paris that week16:14
asachmm. on arm i saw some udev complains on console and X didnt start. thought it was something else with our install;... so there were udev related changes to X?16:14
asacbut lets talk about that after meeting16:14
pittiasac: it should start either way; what can happen is that you don't have any input devices16:14
pittiasac: bug report with x log and udevadm info --export-db would be appreciated16:15

marjoFailure Rate 23/181 = 12.7%16:28
mdzmarjo: in light of the reduced coverage, will we continue to test alpha 1 until we get full coverage, or is that not worthwhile at this point?16:28
marjomdz: we could do that, let's see if we can keep the testers going16:29
marjosince all is set up now16:29
slangasekthe untested images consist of DVDs + edubuntu + mythbuntu + ubuntustudio, I believe16:29
mdzthe DVDs have some testing but not full coverage16:30
slangasekI don't think it's worth having people test DVDs that we don't mean to publish; any problems they find are so unlikely to apply to the next milestone16:30
marjoslangasek: so, we focus the testing appropriately that way16:30
slangasekoh, so they do - those results came in after alpha-1 was published without the DVDs then16:30
marjoslangasek: it doesn't hurt to test anyway right?16:31
slangasekmarjo: as long as you're not burning up your testers' good will :)16:31
mdzthe DVD tests have found some bugs16:31

asacso i think we are on track there in general16:45
ogra(the chart robbiew pointed to didnt look like we're behind)16:46
slangasekhum, if you're doing the low-hanging fruit to get below the trend line, doesn't that mean you'll be pressed at the end? :)16:46
asacslangasek: no. those were tasks to be done in the beginning anyway. its not picking easy stuff from the end16:46

jiboumansah, i thought he was referring to the wiki section of 'test plan'17:06
jiboumansright, late is the right answer in that case. alpha1 was a 'nice to have', alpha2 is the real target17:06
slangasekok17:06
ttxwell, we applied the test plan as it currently stands -- which is an empty one :)17:06
