[00:00] Shall we begin? [00:00] sounds good to me Silver_Fox_ [00:00] Okay. [00:00] I haz arrived, and perfectly on time! [00:00] #startmeeting [00:01] Meeting started at 18:00. The chair is Silver_Fox_. [00:01] Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] [00:01] [LINK]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Meetings [00:01] LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Meetings [00:01] [TOPIC]Team channels, support in main channel or -help [00:01] New Topic: Team channels, support in main channel or -help [00:01] Go bodhi_zazen [00:02] Thanks [00:02] I think it has been decided to move support to -help as much a possible [00:02] -help is much more active these days - go team [00:03] and feel free to ping me if assistance is needed [00:03] Hi today is the beginners team meeting? [00:03] Yes IngForigua [00:03] short support questions are "OK" from time to time in the main channel [00:03] Oh ok, so we not changing it to the main then? cabaret just turning into an alt hangout then? [00:03] there are beginners team in spanish? [00:04] I would prefer to keep -beginners to team business and more "formal" and move as much team banter as possible to ##cabaret [00:04] bodhi_zazen: but then what purpose does -beginners serve? [00:04] doing so has reduced the number of complaints I have recieved drastically [00:05] Is that not -beginners not banter channel anymore? [00:05] bodhi_zazen: hmmmm, alright, so cabaret for really random stuff and main more "proper". I got ya. [00:05] although be aware ##cabaret is not an official ubuntu channel and so you may see some fairly off topic banter / links [00:05] yes please starcraftman [00:05] Please *try* to banter in ##cabaret [00:06] Okay, shall we move onto the vote? [00:06] is ##cabaret subject to the CoC? [00:06] I do not personally mind banter in the main channel, but at the team has grown banter seems to be causing issues [00:06] Not that I know of pleia2 [00:07] ok, I won't be joining then [00:07] So what is the vote exactly? [00:07] my understanding is ## channels are "unofficial" [00:07] 2 votes if you want [00:07] 1 - support to -help [00:07] Okay. [00:07] and [00:07] 2 - banter to ##cabaret [00:07] bodhi_zazen: While I am in ##cabaret, I don't feel as comfortable chatting there. [00:07] LOL [00:08] why lukjadOO7 ? [00:08] Why not adopt an o4o policy similar to -offtopic? [00:08] rather than spreading out over more channels. [00:08] canthus13: what is that ? o4o policy ? [00:08] bodhi_zazen: Because it's not with the CoC, so I feel somewhat uncertain as to what goes. [00:08] !o4o > bodhi_zazen [00:08] bodhi_zazen, please see my private message [00:08] sorry I'm late :) [00:08] o4o is basically a policy that outlines topics where people should tread lightly. [00:09] maco: thanks. [00:09] * canthus13 didn't realize ubottu was in here. :) [00:09] why not again, cut out help: ubuntu-beginners == support channel and ubuntu-team == team banter and or team business? [00:09] .msg ubottu !o4o [00:09] mainly for two reasons [00:09] dvz-: +1 [00:09] leaves us still at 2 channels both of which can be governed by coc [00:09] #1 is that policy is really not working in the main channel [00:09] dvz-: I thought that was proposed and shot down once? [00:10] jgoguen: this whole issue has been proposed and shot down many times. [00:10] more than once and by more than one person [00:10] bodhi_zazen: Another thing is that I don't care to spread out chat on many different channels. [00:10] We (I) get too many complaints when the team banters in the main channel [00:10] +1 bodhi_zazen [00:10] is that because it's banter or because of the specific topic of the banter? [00:10] Sorry but this is getting on. I propose that this be discussed some more and we move onto another topic. [00:11] We have a full agenda [00:11] I think we can just move to up down vote on bodhi's suggestions. [00:11] Okay, can we vote about the moving help to -help?: [00:11] Silver_Fox_: ^ [00:11] maco, we get off topic in #ubuntu-beginners, and most people expect help to be there. [00:11] paultag: ah ok [00:11] The team, in general, seems unable to tolerate o4o topics and there has been a real breakdown in tolerance in the main channel, IMO [00:11] maco, where our real help channel is #ubuntu-beginners-help :) [00:11] bodhi_zazen: and we get too many comlaints when people help others in the main channel....other than these meetings, what team business is of so great of time investment that it deems we need a new channel for offtopic? [00:12] We should move these meeting to the main channel, IMO [00:12] dvz-: I agree, but some people are upset about it. [00:12] persia: I know I'm a bit late, but freenode guidelines would still apply, but that is about it (re ##cabaret) [00:12] err pleia2 [00:12] dvz-: it is more that I am tired of the complaints [00:12] lukjadOO7: if we limited the team channel to strictly business, then it would remain idle a majority of the time then. [00:12] So bodhi's proposal to summarize as I get it: Help -> long answer support and beginners -> proper team business/short support and cabaret > banter really off topic, unCoC. [00:12] either the team needs to be more tolerant and polite or move the banter [00:12] dvz-: Yes, I know. [00:13] Can we have 1 vote on all that. [00:13] nhandler: I knew the general rules for ## channels, I was just hoping that even though unofficial, a banter channel promoted by an official Ubuntu project would also be held to the CoC, it makes me very uncomfortable that it doesn't [00:13] we'll split the votes into 3? [00:13] dvz-: I'm not for it, but I understand bodhi_zazen's point of view. I'm going to +0 it [00:13] dvz-: Actualy I'll -0 it [00:13] (which is why I won't go there) [00:13] pleia2: It isn't in the Ubuntu name space either, so not even the Ubuntu IRC Guidelines would really apply. [00:13] pleia2: +1 [00:14] I would suggest that perhaps a code of conduct be created for ##cabaret ? [00:14] nhandler: just because they aren't required to apply, doesn't mean we can't say they do :) [00:14] i guess I'm not completely aware of what the "offtopic" banter that seems to offend people is [00:14] It need not be too strict, but something to keep people feel safe [00:14] lukjadOO7: It's not "our" channel. [00:14] lukjadOO7: is the CoC too strict? [00:15] pleia2: I don't think so. [00:15] nor do I [00:15] pleia2: I'm just saying that we create a new CoC for the channel [00:15] pleia2: I personally do not have any reason with not holding people to the CoC in there [00:16] lukjadOO7: Is there any part of the Ubuntu CoC that people do not believe should apply there? [00:16] lukjadOO7: can we have CoC apply to the channel? [00:16] sorry i am late [00:16] I would personally like to see the channel be under the CoC. [00:16] +1 lukjadOO7 [00:16] nigel_nb: I don't see why not. [00:16] PabloRubianes: s'okay we haven't really gotten anywhere. [00:16] We already hold people to the CoC in -beginners [00:16] +1 lukjadOO7 [00:16] * pleia2 nods [00:16] * starcraftman puts on music and waits for a bit of agreement. [00:16] if we put cabareet under the CoC then what makes it different than #ubuntu-beginners [00:16] Okay, Any more comments or questions. I would like to put up a vote that this topic be discussed at a later date. [00:17] If the channel can't use the CoC for legal reasons or wordings, I suggest we copy/paste it [00:17] duanedesign: The fact that ##cabaret isn't somewhere users come expecting some help? [00:17] I think we need to at least vote on moving support to -help [00:17] And name it the Code of Cabaret. [00:17] Silver_Fox_: make sure vote topic clear. We have discussed a few alternate suggestions. [00:17] How are we setting guidelines for a channel not ours - open to anyone who happens along? [00:17] rename #ubuntu-beginners to #ubuntu-beginners-team and keep -help the same. [00:17] better yet: [00:18] drs305: It was created by bodhi_zazen I believe [00:18] Rename #ubuntu-beginners-help to #ubuntu-beginners, and create #ubuntu-beginners-team, or -cafe [00:18] drs305: The same as other channels set guidelines that all users entering are expected to adhere to [00:18] paultag: +1 (that would do) [00:18] It would clear up a _lot_ of confusion [00:18] Silver_Fox_, and I suggested this before [00:18] +1 paultag [00:18] paultag's suggestion would clear a lot of confusion [00:18] and it would help keep a team channel for offtopic *under the CoC* [00:18] paultag: easier to move -help to -team [00:19] paultag: then all long support questions and official business in the team channel and cafe for CoC talk. Right? [00:19] either way, the idea is the same [00:19] bodhi_zazen, yeah, but people assume #ubuntu-beginners, is for beginners, and -cafe does not look like a support channel [00:19] exactly [00:19] bodhi_zazen, we get a lot of incoming support questions in -beginners that we have to tell to /join #ubuntu-beginners-help [00:19] bodhi_zazen: last meeting or so ago, someone else (paul or silver) offered to redo the access permissions on the channels, i believe [00:20] I'll do it [00:20] I don't mind tedious work [00:20] Silver_Fox_: is it possible to vote on paultag's suggestion? [00:20] bodhi_zazen: should we choose that route... i remember the one complaint when i propsed the idea initially was "too much of a hassle setting permissions" [00:20] [VOTE] Make off topic channel #ubuntu-beginners-cafe [00:20] Please vote on: Make off topic channel #ubuntu-beginners-cafe.

[00:21] and I agree with pleia2 , I do not want -cafe to be under the CoC, at least I do not want off topic o4o banter associated with this team =) [00:21] bodhi_zazen: we would ultimately be switching -help to -beginners .... -beginners to -beginners-team ... and -beginners-cafe to banter..then dropping -help i believe is the proposed idea [00:21] -1 [00:21] -1 received from bodhi_zazen. 9 for, 1 against. 5 have abstained. Count is now 8 [00:21] [ENDVOTE] [00:21] Final result is 9 for, 1 against. 5 abstained.

Total: 9 [00:23] I can see two channels -beginners and -beginners-team [00:24] [AGREED] Move -help to #ubuntu-beginners. [00:24] AGREED received: Move -help to #ubuntu-beginners. [00:24] bodhi_zazen: right...and for the offtopic...i don't care if it's -cafe or if it's cabaret..or whatever else we decide [00:24] +1 [00:24] cabaret is no longer use? [00:24] we need to discuss off topic / banter [00:24] we either need to be more tolerant as a team [00:24] Are we voting on the policy on #ubuntu-beginners-cafe ? [00:25] * bodhi_zazen points out the vast majority of complaints come from team members [00:25] or move the banter out of #beginners space [00:25] Are the complaints being aired during the discussions? I haven't seen them. [00:26] drs305: no, the complaints come to me in PM, and then I try to resolve the issues [00:26] I don't necessarily think the lack of public complaints should be taken as any implication that there isn't a problem [00:26] +1 jgoguen [00:26] good point drs305 ...i haven't been around much due to family issues - but if someone has a complaint, i think that they should have the courtesy to bring it up to the person that offended them either in PM or chat before going to the team lead immediately [00:26] bodhi_zazen: can I suggest that if someone has any issue with another person, PM directly [00:26] I believe courtesy includes asking for a cessation of the behavior at the time rather than a PM to bodhi. [00:26] nigel_nb, but sometimes it's hard [00:26] Maybe we could wait until the next meeting to actually work on the cafe and offtopic? [00:27] seriously, the banter is problematic and I do not see moving to another official ubuntu channel or a channel associated with the BT as a solution [00:27] An assumption like that forces people to speak out who may not be comfortable doing so, meaning they'll not speak out and possibly leave thinking we're a bunch of hooligans [00:27] what if the complaint is about the team lead? [00:27] it's a two way street...if you're offended by someone, we can't read your minds, talk to that person about it...it may be as simple as a pm and talking to them about it. [00:27] Or until the end? [00:27] [VOTE] Move non COC compliant banter to ##cabaret [00:27] Please vote on: Move non COC compliant banter to ##cabaret.

Total: 11 [00:28] paultag: in case you are offended, mail the person with a copy to the bt council [00:28] pleia2: i think this is merely a, "if it doesn't relate to the team, take it elsewhere" [00:28] so there can be a resolution and somone else gets to know about it and mediate [00:28] nigel_nb, yeah, but again, if they are on the council, that can be hard [00:29] [AGREED]Move non COC compliant banter to ##cabaret.

[00:32] I put the item on the agenda, but was hoping others were taking the lead on this [00:32] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/duanedesign/sandbox [00:32] ^^^^ [00:32] thanks duanedesign [00:32] I have a working draft in my sanbox [00:32] bodhi_zazen: It has been on for a while (I think I initially added it a few months ago) [00:32] [LINK]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/duanedesign/sandbox [00:32] LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/duanedesign/sandbox [00:32] Suggestion: Can we have something like the bugsquad's 5-a-day? [00:32] I think there are some good ideas there [00:32] Looks find to me [00:33] for answers, bugs, and forum help [00:33] nigel_nb: Sounds like a good idea! [00:33] 6 weeks I think nhandler [00:33] Okay, if nothing to vote I on I am going to move onto the next topic. [00:33] bodhi_zazen: Hmm...Feels like longer [00:33] [TOPIC]Remove the Stalkers FG from BT Structure [00:33] New Topic: Remove the Stalkers FG from BT Structure [00:33] bodhi_zazen: Oh right this thing, my only comment is not exactly sure I'm a fan of the wiki one. I'm planning a doc meeting soon so we might discuss such a target. [00:33] oh WTF [00:33] -1 [00:34] the Stalker FG does good work :) [00:34] Hmm, ibuclaw is not here. [00:34] Silver_Fox_: can we hold off on this one? [00:34] I'm against that [00:34] ibuclaw asked me to discuss this topic [00:34] I'm in the stalking FG, I can address this :) [00:34] Go bodhi_zazen then =] [00:34] Silver_Fox_: we could potentially add more duties to stalker FG [00:34] basically, the purpose of the stalker group is quality control on the forms [00:34] I do not think the stalkers group has bee active [00:34] or perhaps it needs a new lead ? [00:34] I'm off, not feeling great. Sorry guys [00:35] bodhi_zazen, who is lead now? sdennie? [00:35] Bye Joeb454 [00:35] Later Joeb454 [00:35] Bye Joeb454 . [00:35] bodhi_zazen: can we add quality control on IRC to stalker FG? [00:35] the idea is that all team members should participate in quality control [00:35] we could [00:35] bodhi_zazen: addressing complaints and issues with other members.. [00:35] bodhi_zazen: I suggest we make it have a better and broader focus [00:35] I think we either need to [00:35] 1. Find a lead for the stalkers, and revitalize it ... [00:35] or [00:35] OK, speaking on behalf: [00:35] 2. Eliminate it [00:36] I can help lead it (if u're okay with me leading that is) [00:36] I think having the entire team participate in quality control sounds like a better solution for the long run [00:36] nigel_nb: Quality control on IRC, IIRC, is the domain of the IRC FG as part of their mandate of help on IRC [00:36] All of the members of the FG are regularly on IRC, LP and UF, and when we come across and BT member we take a look at it. [00:36] nigel_nb: I think moving the banter to ##cabaret is going to resolve 99.9 % of the current complaints [00:36] I always ( _always_ ) watch IRC for quality of UBT members' help, and I think that is part of the stalking FG [00:36] Having said that, I agree with nhandler [00:36] agree, but as paultag said ealier, it would be nice to have a small group to deal with it [00:36] removing a few problematic users from the channel has been effective on the rest of the complaints [00:37] paultag: I think most of us pay attention to the work of fellow BT members throughout the community [00:37] nhandler, +1 [00:37] If we are going to expand the focus , what irc channels ? [00:37] bodhi_zazen, it would have to be #ubuntu-beginners, and #ubuntu [00:37] #ubuntu ? -beginners ? our channels only ? [00:37] bodhi_zazen: At least the #ubuntu-beginners-* channels, and also if BT members are helping in #ubuntu [00:37] bodhi_zazen, well, the UBT members are UBT members through Ubuntu, we should be making sure our good name is intact ;) [00:38] Sounds good to me [00:38] +1 jgoguen [00:38] who would like to lead ? [00:38] bodhi_zazen: This is why I feel it would be better to just get rid of the formal group and have it as a more informal quality control process [00:38] jgoguen: +2 [00:38] [VOTE] Remove Stalker FG [00:38] Please vote on: Remove Stalker FG.

[00:50] +1 [00:50] Why? [00:50] Does anyone know why we should do this? [00:50] -1 [00:50] sorry [00:50] the use of voice is to show a member from a non-member [00:50] Not why silly, why unvoice?

Many teams use a similar system (including freenode staff) [00:50] +1 nhandler [00:50] pleia2 said its frowned upon in IRC [00:50] I disagree vehemently [00:50] 'The use of voice is frowned upon in Ubuntu channels, we are all "equals" [00:51] Being OPed when you don't need to is frowned upon, nothing wrong with voice [00:51] but if we remove voice, it would lead to bot abuse [00:51] I would like to point out that votebot works with voice [00:51] bodhi_zazen: It is used in a few Ubuntu channels as well [00:51] since bot would have to answer to everyone [00:51] Not that I frequent that channel, but one can usually calm a channel with social cues, rather than needing to restrict voice by technical means. Using technical means may also dissuade new productive people from joining. [00:51] Don't worry about VoteBot. That should not affect our decision [00:51] I do not think I see voice in our channel that way, and we have so many that come and go, and we do have a very formal membership process, perhaps the most formal I know short of ubuntu membership [00:51] +1 bodhi_zazen [00:51] It also is a useful visual indicator to who is a team member [00:52] +1 lukjadOO7 [00:52] persia: Everyone can talk in the channel (it is not +m).

[00:52] I agree bodhi_zazen [00:52] [VOTE] Unvoice members of the beginners team IN #ubuntu-beginners [00:52] I think +v in our channels actually serves a purpose, a new user can come in and will see the +v people first and (I think) be more likely to ask those people things [00:52] Please vote on: Unvoice members of the beginners team IN #ubuntu-beginners.

[14:01] * ivoks o/ [14:01] looks like we'll be moving maintenance to the foundations team, but it's pending an OK from colin & hugh. more next week probably [14:02] now, to the more interesting bits: [14:02] o/ [14:02] jiboumans: thx [14:02] [TOPIC] Non-alpha2 targeted specs for lucid [14:02] New Topic: Non-alpha2 targeted specs for lucid [14:02] we have a list of 6'ish specs we'd like to dicuss here today. if all is well, ttx mailed the relevant drafters/assignees [14:03] i saw mathiaz here, so let's start there: [14:03] server-lucid-aws-client-libraries (mathiaz) [14:04] mathiaz: to get the ball rolling on this, what do you need from us and the community? [14:04] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-lucid-aws-client-libraries [14:04] jiboumans: decide which libraries are worth packaging [14:04] jiboumans: ie which ones are the most used [14:04] jiboumans: and if there is anything missing [14:05] jiboumans: next step: send an email to ubuntu-cloud@, ubuntu-ec2@ and blog about it [14:05] mathiaz: fair enough. Looks like we have the following languages we're looking to target: Python Perl Php Java Ruby Twisted [14:05] jiboumans: well - the first two WI [14:05] do we have any resident experts on any of those languages? [14:05] Perl here [14:05] jiboumans: perl [14:06] erichammond: are you ok with us sharing the action to fill in that list? [14:06] both perl and python seems covered [14:06] only java is missing [14:06] mathiaz: php/ruby? [14:06] which is the other langage that has projects listed [14:06] * nijaba` can volunteer some php testing [14:06] jiboumans: I'm ok with you doing it all :) but can help where needed. I just added a link to Amazon's Amazon::SimpleDB [14:07] * zul thinks php is evil [14:07] and ruby [14:07] erichammond: fair enough, won't take me long anyway [14:07] * nijaba` is evil anyway :P [14:07] jiboumans: I don't know if there any projects written in these langages [14:07] jiboumans: more invesitigation is needed [14:07] [ACTION] jib to complete Perl list for AWS client libs [14:07] ACTION received: jib to complete Perl list for AWS client libs [14:07] [ACTION] nijaba to complete PHP list for AWS client libs [14:07] ACTION received: nijaba to complete PHP list for AWS client libs [14:07] mathiaz: cool, then you get to mail people about that :) [14:08] [ACTION] Mathiaz to send out AWS Client lib RFC [14:08] ACTION received: Mathiaz to send out AWS Client lib RFC [14:08] mathiaz: think we can have that list complete by next meeting? [14:08] jiboumans: sure [14:09] cool. bonus points if we can get community packaging efforts going *hint hint* ;) [14:09] mathiaz: anything else for this spec? [14:09] jiboumans: let's harness our huge java packaging community :) [14:09] jiboumans: not for now [14:09] ttx: well volunteered! [14:10] ok, moving on [14:10] daviey, dufet: o/ [14:10] ] [14:10] dyfet ^ [14:10] dyfet also [14:10] jiboumans: There is a *different* Amazon::SimpleDB on CPAN which is not high quality, not maintained, and the author did not respond to my questions about its status. My ideal solution would be for Amazon's package to be renamed to Net::Amazon::SimpleDB and added to CPAN and then libnet-amazon-simpledb in Ubuntu. [14:10] erichammond: ack [14:10] kirkland: don't miss that in the summary please ^ [14:11] ok, both not around yet, trying again in am inute [14:11] jiboumans: got it! [14:11] ivoks, roaksoax: server-lucid-cluster-stack [14:11] i'm here [14:12] i've packaged most of the relveant stuff for pacemaker based cluster [14:12] everything is on my PPA (https://edge.launchpad.net/~ivoks/+archive/ppa/+packages) [14:12] cool. are you targeting anything else for lucid as part of that spec? [14:12] so, i'll be testing latest version of pacemaker during this week and give a proposal on which cluster stack to use in lucid, stay with rhcs or move to pacemaker [14:13] ivoks: what are the consequence for redhat-cluster-suite? [14:13] ivoks: It's related to the demotion of redhat-cluster-suite to universe [14:13] mathiaz: if pacemaker ends up good, i'd agree with rhcs dmotion [14:13] ivoks: ok [14:14] but if pacemaker isn't there yet, i don't think we should ship lts without cluster solution [14:14] ivoks: I'd suggest to do a call for testing via a blog post to get more feedback on pacemaker [14:14] ivoks: and your ppa packages [14:14] that's the plan, right [14:14] ivoks: s/without/waithout a supported/ ? [14:14] ttx: right [14:15] sorry for not doing this sooner, i had very little time :( [14:15] ivoks: i'm keen to track this spec as we do with our other blueprints. could you list the TODOs for lucid in the blueprint as described here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorkItemsHowto [14:15] jiboumans: consider it done [14:15] ivoks++ thanks [14:15] (i've seen your comment) [14:16] ivoks: i'm particularly interested in the items that need to be done for alpha3 obviously [14:16] ivoks, anyone else: anything more on this spec? [14:16] when is alpha3? [14:16] ivoks: 25th of feb [14:16] Feb 25th. [14:16] ivoks: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule # for the full list [14:16] ivoks: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [14:17] packages and testing should be done, and we should have clear vision what should be supported cluster [14:17] (i'm on GPRS connection, so i might be lagged) [14:17] ivoks: awesome. anyone have somethign to add still? [14:17] ivoks: or http://people.ubuntu.com/~vorlon/UbuntuReleaseSchedule.ics [14:18] ok, moving on: lucid-serverguide (sommer) [14:18] sommer: i realise this is a docs project, but i'm sure we can make your life easier somehow [14:18] heh, that'd be great... I haven't had much time recently to work on the serverguide, but there have been some bug fixes committed [14:19] should have more time in the coming weeks as well [14:19] sommer: you did see that www.ubuntu.com/server/doc now works, right? [14:19] yep, good stuff :) [14:19] sommer: do you need with the wiki linking we talked about? [14:20] s/need/need help/ [14:20] I think I should be able to handle that... it's at the top of my list, but if you'd like to setup some of the pages that'd be great too [14:21] [ACTION] ivoks to update server-lucid-cluster-stack with lucid (and alpha3) goals [14:21] ACTION received: ivoks to update server-lucid-cluster-stack with lucid (and alpha3) goals [14:21] (before i forget) [14:21] sommer: ok, let's talk about it off meeting [14:21] sommer: would it be helpful to have a weekly agenda point in this meeting for us to give updates on big changes and/or for you to ask questions? [14:21] nijaba`: sounds good [14:22] jiboumans: possibly, but the last couple of meetings I've had to duck out early [14:22] sommer: we can move the topic forward if that's useful to you [14:22] we're here all week^Whour [14:23] I think I can keep up... just need to ask more questions when I fall behind [14:24] sommer: ok. if you change yoru mind, i'm happy to give it a dedicated slot. we really appreciate the work that goes into this doc and want to make it as painless as possible [14:24] anything else for the docs blueprint? [14:24] jiboumans: sounds great much thanks [14:24] sommer: np [14:24] alright, moving on: [14:25] soren, jdstrand, stgraber: server-lucid-contextualization [14:25] stgraber: it's currently not milestoned; are you still dedicated to getting this in for lucid? [14:25] yep [14:26] great. what is left for you to do when soren/jdstrand finish there bugs/items? [14:26] I'm sorry, I'm on the phone at the same time [14:26] stgraber: no worries, should we do papercuts first? [14:27] just finished my call [14:27] so, I have on my todolist to check the state of current libvirt in Lucid + the lxc tool [14:27] I contacted the Debian maintainer for the lxc userspace and he told me he was going to update it to current upstream [14:27] I remember there were some issues with upstart and containers. [14:28] once it's done, I'll get that synced in Lucid and will try to get a MIR on that [14:28] stgraber: does that sound realistic before alpha3? [14:28] (feb 25th) [14:28] yes, upstart, especially umount can cause some issues with containers. Last time I tried Lucid containers worked correctly at least [14:28] otherwise, I'm getting quite familiar with mountall due to LTSP bugs I'm helping debug from time to time, so it shouldn't be that hard to make it work properly [14:29] jiboumans: updated userspace + tested libvirt by then sounds perfectly realisitc [14:29] *realistic [14:29] stgraber: I thought the problems were more fundamental than that. [14:29] stgraber: Such as upstart not dealing very well at all with not properly being pid 1. [14:29] stgraber: we'd also need to have the package in main by then, if i'm getting alpha3's milestone right (ttx, correct me if i'm wrong) [14:29] soren: at least on OpenVZ I can start a Lucid container including upstart [14:30] (as in, it did not inherit orphan processes inside containers) [14:30] soren: it's PID 1 (inside the container), it's not when seen from the host [14:30] stgraber: Precisely. [14:30] jiboumans: before featurefreeze, to be precise. [14:30] jiboumans: I can file a MIR for it [14:30] \o [14:30] jiboumans: only depends for it is libc6 [14:31] apologies for being late, for some reason i thought it started in 30 mins [14:31] Daviey: asterisk next, stay tuned :) [14:31] upstream is active, it's maintained in Debian and there's no known security issues, so it's going to be an easy one [14:31] hello Daviey [14:31] \o jmdault [14:31] stgraber: if you feel you can get all that done for alpha3, that'll be great [14:31] stgraber, soren, jdstrand, ttx: anything else that may be a redflag? [14:31] the one task I had is completed [14:32] jiboumans: Not at the moment. [14:32] jiboumans: I'll get that to a point where we can focus on bugfix after alpha3. So that probably won't be bugfree but at least all pieces will be there. === robbiew_ is now known as robbiew [14:32] stgraber: that's perfect [14:32] I might mention, it would be nice to get libvirt 0.7.5 in for lucid [14:32] jiboumans: +1 [14:32] jdstrand: are you planning to do that merge? [14:32] jdstrand: +1 I mean ;) [14:32] there is an issue there cause Debian decided to run libvirt as non-root using upstream's new methods [14:32] stgraber: could i ask you to update the blueprint to reflect the work items we just discussed? (upstreams, tests, mir, etc) [14:33] jiboumans: sure [14:33] how they implemented that is a) contentious and b) will likely require a *lot* of testing to make sure it doesn't break [14:33] jiboumans: looks good to me, pending the work items list [14:33] [ACTION] stgraber to update work item list for server-lucid-contextualization with alpha3 items [14:33] ACTION received: stgraber to update work item list for server-lucid-contextualization with alpha3 items [14:34] I was thinking I would do that merge, but disable that feature, since we have apparmor protections anyway, but it probably needs further discussion [14:34] I don't really have the resources to test it without disabling the feature [14:34] jdstrand: would that be part of this spec, or merely related? [14:35] jiboumans: I think related, unless stgraber really needs 0.7.5 [14:35] and the non-root stuff is definitely non-lxc [14:35] it just complicates the merge and testing (eg what will happen to euca if libvirt is non-root?) [14:36] err... libvirt runs VMs as non-root [14:36] I don't have an answer to that question, or the resources to verify it all will work [14:36] jdstrand: I had lxc to work with 0.7.2 though there was quite a lot of improvement in 0.7.4 (nothing in 0.7.5 itself though) [14:36] soren, ttx: opinions welcome here [14:36] jdstrand: i like the idea of using your apparmor stuff, and running libvirt as root (as upstream upstream does) [14:36] jdstrand: for Lucid, at least [14:37] jdstrand: How does what Debian does differ from what Fedora does? [14:37] kirkland: that was my thought too-- we are protected, and I will be doing more work on the security driver anyway [14:37] jdstrand: +1 [14:37] soren: I don't know, but I imagine fedora will be moving to non-root [14:37] when, I can't say [14:37] jdstrand: AFAIK, they've already done that. [14:38] jdstrand: on a related note, i'm working on the qemu-kvm-0.12 merge, to be done shortly after Alpha2 [14:38] I'd go for 0.7.5 with apparmor as well, lucid is no place to get experimental [14:38] soren: what are your thoughts on the non-root stuff? [14:39] 19:08 < danpb> unit3: yeah, but in Fedora, the qemu process itself runs as 'qemu' these days [14:39] From #virt yesterday. [14:39] I'd like to be clear-- the apparmor driver would be there regardless, it is whether or not to risk the non-root bits too [14:39] ttx: agreed. the question is 'keep the current version or 0.7.5+apparmor' -- no other configuration is safe enough i think [14:39] the apparmor driver is upstreamed and in 0.7.5, and works fine [14:39] The problem is we might end up running libvirt in a way noone else is running it. [14:39] slightly more costly (debian delta) to go 0.7.5+apparmor, but I guess lots of bugfixes [14:39] ...which is simply a /different/ kind of maintenance nightmare. [14:40] ok, then let me rephrase: what do we loes by staying with current version? [14:40] soren: well, we are already in that boat with enabling the apparmor driver [14:40] jdstrand: True. [14:40] (I also field those bugs, btw) [14:40] jiboumans: stgraber might hate you [14:40] (as upstream and in ubuntu) [14:40] jdstrand: The point of contention is the fiddling with device permissions and all that jazz, right? [14:41] jiboumans: + number? of high-impact bugs fixed between 0.7.2 and 0.7.5 [14:41] soren: yes. it generally seems not the right thing to do, and most people I've talked to aren't keen on it [14:41] jdstrand: Yeah, I absolutely hate it. [14:41] though, I've not talked to that terribly many people [14:41] jiboumans: bugs that you wouldn't want to ship an LTS with [14:42] jdstrand: I don't predict it's going to be a lasting approach. [14:42] ttx: +1 (except that I won't hate him, just will file a lot of bugs for you guys to fix ;)) [14:42] jdstrand: I'm cool with sticking with running kvm as root. [14:42] ttx: that makes 0.7.5+apparmor a desired target then [14:42] soren: well, it is easy enough to run it like it has always been run (ie as root), using the apparmor driver [14:42] jdstrand: It's really much more sensible than the current alternative. [14:42] jiboumans: I don't know how much of our long libvirt list of bugs 0.7.5 fixed [14:43] ttx: ok fearless techlead, propose a plan :) [14:43] in that case, I will do the 0.7.5, and leave out the non-root bits. if someone else wants to flip that on later, they can do that [14:43] jdstrand: Sounds good to me. [14:43] s/0.7.5/0.7.5 merge/ [14:43] jiboumans: knowing that unknown would help choosing the right solution [14:44] jiboumans: my plan would be to follow the fearless jdstrand [14:44] oh. [14:44] and I want it clear-- please don't disable the apparmor driver if testing non-root-- we still want it for guest isolation and host protection [14:44] Er... I would not even consider sticking with 0.7.2. [14:44] ttx: fair enough [14:44] soren: thanks for your support [14:44] I completely missed that suggestion. [14:44] it runs as non-root in Debian, but all as the same user (ie no guest isolation) [14:45] soren: ok, then let me rephrase: what do we loes by staying with current version? [14:45] plus, I'd hate for a rogue guest to have even non-root privs on my host machine [14:45] jdstrand: where can we see the progress on this? i'm expecting this to impact UEC as well after all [14:45] Sticking with old, unsupported versions of core virtualisation stuff is no fun at all (*cough* kvm-62 in hardy *cough*). [14:45] jiboumans: 0.7.5 is still in unstable and not migrated to testing [14:46] jiboumans: so sometime after that, plus there is a blueprint for the apparmor/libvirt dev work I am doing [14:46] jdstrand: There's plenty of precendence for being ahead of Debian testing in Ubuntu for libvirt. Even ahead of Debian experimental at times. [14:46] * jdstrand goes to get it [14:46] And precedence. [14:46] jiboumans: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/security-lucid-libvirt-apparmor-devel [14:47] I'll add a new item for 0.7.5 [14:47] jdstrand: thanks. kirkland/ttx this will affect you for UEC. please keep an eye on it and stay in touch with jdstrand [14:47] jiboumans: sure thing [14:47] ack [14:47] stgraber, soren, jdstrand: anything more on the containers spec? [14:48] Not at the moment. [14:48] not from me, I updated the blueprint with the new items for alpha-3 [14:48] stgraber++ thanks [14:48] ok, next topic: server-lucid-asterisk-integration (dyfet, Daviey) [14:48] and jmdault ... [14:48] ;-) [14:48] yes [14:48] jmdault: appologies :) [14:48] first order of business: who's the contact for this spec? [14:48] \i [14:49] or drafter? or the person i'll be gently but firmly shaking in this meeting? [14:49] jiboumans: you can shake me [14:49] lol [14:49] jmdault: thanks for volunteering :) [14:49] That works for me also! [14:49] good [14:49] jmdault: this spec has been lingering a bit; are you still commited to this for lucid? [14:50] jiboumans: yes, definitely [14:50] I'm very keen to try and keep the packages from Debian as pristine as possible, and work with Debian's pkg-voip closer. [14:50] I concur [14:50] excellent. You've all been doing this for a while, so you know what parts need to be done by alpha3 [14:50] me too [14:51] are you guys looking to get asterisk in main? [14:51] Asterisk 1.6.2 is officially released now [14:51] could i ask you to update the spec accordingly and prefix the people doing the tasks so pitti's magic tool picks it up? [14:51] zul: not sure about main... we need to handle security updates, and that's gonna be a lot of work [14:52] mathiaz: wasn't asterisk on your promotion/demotion list? [14:52] zul: not at present. [14:52] jiboumans: nope [14:52] jiboumans: I don't think so [14:52] mathiaz: ok, i probably misremembered then :) [14:52] jiboumans: it was on my list but it got rejected [14:52] jiboumans: mainly for security reasons - jdstrand ^^? [14:53] security reasons and lack of hardware for testing [14:53] it did have a MIR [14:54] [ACTION] jmdault to update server-lucid-asterisk-integration blueprint with alpha3 & post-alpha3 workitems and change syntax to match Pitti's workitems howto (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorkItemsHowto) [14:54] ACTION received: jmdault to update server-lucid-asterisk-integration blueprint with alpha3 & post-alpha3 workitems and change syntax to match Pitti's workitems howto (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorkItemsHowto) [14:54] Daviey: I don't see you're subscribed to ubuntu-voip mailing list? [14:54] we need some communication [14:54] jmdault: i should be! I set it up [14:55] jmdault: there is now #ubuntu-voip, and i somehow feel real time communication might help. [14:55] ok, i think we're aligned on the work that needs to be done. ttx: any concerns on this one? [14:55] you should use asterisk to talk to each other :) [14:56] Tangentially related: I built custom, private Karmic AMIs for a client who is running Asterisk on EC2. He has timing problems with the 2.6.27 kernel and we are hoping that the 2.6.31 kernel will work better. The kernel team has offered to build 250Hz and 1000Hz EC2 kernels for testing if the default 100Hz still doesn't work under Karmic with 2.6.31. [14:56] zul++ # +7 smartypants points [14:56] the security issues regarding asterisk are that there are many vulnerabilities [14:56] jiboumans: not at this point [14:56] erichammond: erichammond Xen and asterisk have never played well. [14:56] alright, anything more on the asterisk spec? [14:56] there hasn't been a community around asterisk to fix what we have in Ubuntu now [14:56] i built different kernels with different clock speeds and it did *help*, but not perfect. [14:56] erichammond, we've not heard back on that ? [14:57] Davley: People are running Asterisk well under EC2 with an old 1000Hz kernel. [14:57] iirc that was some end of november-ish, right? [14:57] adding asterisk as a supported package is not recommended-- but this was all discussed at UDS, is this up for discussion again? [14:57] jdstrand: nope [14:57] smoser: The Karmic AMIs just got built as it took me a while to sort out all the vmbuilder issues. [14:57] gents, i'm going to have to ask you to take this to #ubuntu-voip :) [14:57] yes, come to #ubuntu-voip [14:58] oh. sorry. not meaning to call you out :) [14:58] we need some traffic [14:58] yep [14:58] our agenda is rather full and we have to move on i'm afraid [14:58] so, next topic: server-lucid-papercuts (ttx) [14:58] thought we were just waiting for someone else to test. [14:58] ok, so this is the spec following the UDS discussion we had on Server usability papercuts [14:58] To be successful, it needs to be a global effort shared between all Ubuntu Server team members [14:58] That's why I wanted to discuss the details of the project implementation before going forward [14:58] (not sure there is enough time in this meeting to do so, stop me if needed) [14:58] The blueprint whiteboards shows several subjects that we could discuss in January team meetings [14:59] Starting today with discussing the best way to nominate a bug as a papercut [14:59] jiboumans: want to move that to next week ? [14:59] ttx: given the time constraints and us being behind on some alpha2 work, yeah [14:59] ttx: i'd urge everyone to give this some thought though (perhaps you can send a mail to that extent) so we're prepared next week [14:59] ok. Let's discuss papercut nomination mechanism next week then [15:00] action me on that [15:00] [ACTION] ttx to send background mail on papercuts project for next weeks discussion [15:00] ACTION received: ttx to send background mail on papercuts project for next weeks discussion [15:00] see how fast i type? :) [15:00] we share a common brain [15:00] thats scarey [15:00] 2 men 1 brain... sounds like a bad internet movie [15:00] ok, next: [15:00] [TOPIC] blueprint status check [15:00] New Topic: blueprint status check [15:01] most seem well on track, so slightly different format: [15:01] i'd liek to discuss 3 in particular, and then a quick round table [15:01] mathiaz: server-lucid-uec-testing 12/0/13 52% [15:01] are we still on track for alpha2? halfway complete dwith a few days development time left [15:01] jiboumans: on track IMO [15:02] jiboumans: three items are about alpha2 testing [15:02] jiboumans: two others are to talk with upstream [15:02] mathiaz: if you are confident, so am i. [15:03] jiboumans: and the last ones require a bit more hardware for testing [15:03] mathiaz: IS assured me we can get the hardware at alpha2. you & ttx need to look over the details though (see the rt mail that landed in yoru box today) [15:03] ttx: any opinions on taht yet? i saw cjwatson gave some tips [15:04] jiboumans: that sounds very promising [15:04] jiboumans: ok [15:04] jiboumans: I'm glued into an upstart issue, it's next on my totest list [15:04] jiboumans: I need to catch up on the RT thread (I don't receive all the emails of it apparently) [15:04] jiboumans: I'd revert my opinion now to "probably not needed anymore" [15:05] jiboumans: I know how to automate iso testing though [15:05] mathiaz: talk to you about it later today [15:05] ttx: ok [15:05] ttx, mathiaz: stick your heads together and make a call :) [15:05] next spec:there's also this spec: server-lucid-ec2-config 8/0/2 20% [15:06] zul, mathiaz: most of the work rests with you guys now and i know you've taken it over recently [15:06] jiboumans: you == zul^^ ? [15:06] jiboumans: i showed smoser my first cut yesterday i think im on track https://code.launchpad.net/~zulcss/ec2-init/ec2-init-config [15:06] i think he's on track. [15:07] mathiaz: you have the parser writing on your plate: [mathiaz] write initial config parser : TODO [15:07] zul's doing the actual configs [15:07] jiboumans: hm - well - there isn't any parser to be written :) [15:07] jiboumans: the configuration file is in yaml [15:07] hopefully be tomorrow morning US/Eastern or end of day tomorrow we can have a combined branch with at least packaging [15:08] where's the code that grabs the file & DTRT? [15:08] jiboumans: boothooks [15:08] or is that *all* boothooks? [15:08] DTRT? [15:08] 'does the right thing' [15:09] * jiboumans hands smoser the interwebz [15:09] jiboumans: right - boothooks grabs the user-data, locally copies the yaml configuration and then fires an cloud-config upstart event [15:09] ah. that is boothooks [15:09] bah to you and your lmgtfy, jiboumans :) [15:09] ok, fair enough. mathiaz could you update the blueprint then please/ :) [15:09] jiboumans: relevant upstart jobs start on cloud-config and do whatever they want with the configuration file [15:09] so boot hooks gets user data, rips out user config, puts that in a file and emits an upstart job with CFG_FILE=path-to-that-file [15:10] is there no mileage in ever running this outside upstart? [15:10] well, it could. the upstart job just runs something else. [15:10] that something else coudl be run just as easily at other times. [15:11] but for now i think we're interested in at early-cloud-boot [15:11] smoser: i'll leave that for a design decision then while you're writing the code :) [15:11] yeah. [15:11] we ready to move to that blueprint then :) [15:11] server-lucid-ec2-boothooks 10/0/3 23% High [15:12] smoser: are you still on the EC2 image issue, or moved to this spec now? [15:12] i am actually feeling much more confident of it now than i was before. [15:12] the ec2 image issue has been identified. bug 503212 [15:12] Launchpad bug 503212 in mountall "mountall crashed with SIGSEGV in main() without initramfs" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/503212 [15:13] short summary, mountall doesn't work without a ramdisk, our ec2-images dont have ramdisks. [15:13] smoser: that sounds like cloud-krd is stalled pending that bug, correct? [15:13] well, yeah, but i have to assume that it will be fixed. i sent mail to Keybuk, but i think he must be out atm [15:14] fair enough. so, boothooks... on track now? [15:14] basically cloud-krd is done. everything is functional (or at least *was* functional) in ec2 [15:14] much closer to on track. i do feel more confident now [15:14] smoser: please stay in touch wtih ttx about this [15:15] anything to add to this spec? [15:15] no. thanks to everyone who has helped and offered to help, though [15:15] excellent [15:15] everyone++ indeed [15:15] quick round table: [15:16] kirkland: any blockers or risks for your blueprints regarding alpha2? [15:16] jiboumans: i don't think so [15:16] mathiaz: same question ^ [15:16] jiboumans: I don't think so [15:17] smoser: i think we covered yours, right?

[15:18] jiboumans: soon ill bug kees again today, i havent been able to talk to doko yet [15:18] zul: ok, flag it with me if you dont have an answer by thursday end of business [15:18] ok [15:19] [TOPIC] assigned bugs: http://qa.ubuntu.com/reports/team-assigned/canonical-server-assigned-bug-tasks.html [15:19] New Topic: assigned bugs: http://qa.ubuntu.com/reports/team-assigned/canonical-server-assigned-bug-tasks.html [15:19] remind me who runs through this again usually :) [15:19] ttx [15:19] zul: doh [15:20] * jiboumans watches the very slick push-infront-of-the-train action [15:20] Anyone has anything blocking to report ? [15:20] nope [15:20] zope [15:20] Dustin, Chuck: all bugs assigned to you represent current or near-future work ? [15:20] ttx: erg, yeah, near-ish future [15:21] yeah near-ish future [15:21] ttx: there's a few i'm on the *tip* of solving, uploading [15:21] ok [15:21] jiboumans: done [15:21] [TOPIC] weekly Q&A with QA [15:21] New Topic: weekly Q&A with QA [15:21] *badumtish* [15:21] soren? [15:21] Hahah. [15:21] Uh, yeah. [15:22] Since last time, I've set up nightly rebuilds of a set of server packages. [15:23] These are packages that already have test suites run at build time, but since stuff in their dependency tree might cause breakage, we need to run them periodically to detect regressions. [15:23] ..so every night, I grab the current version of these packages and push them to a ppa. [15:23] If they fail to build, I get an e-mail. [15:23] Ideally, I would set something up to turn those e-mails into bug reports, but that's work to be done. [15:24] is it possible to get a broader range of people to email? [15:24] The current list of packages is: [15:24] libvirt [15:24] postgresql-8.3 [15:24] postgresql-8.4 [15:24] mysql-dfsg-5.0 [15:24] mysql-dfsg-5.1 [15:24] openldap [15:24] php5 [15:24] soren: using a team PPA so that others can get the emails as well if wanted? [15:24] I'm sure I've missed some, so if you guys can think of anything server related that takes care to run its test suite at build time (and fails if the test suite fails), please let me know. [15:25] soren: there is dovecot [15:25] soren: it has a test suite, but not in the package [15:25] soren: it's in a different upstream hg repository [15:25] btw, this is the related spec: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/qa-lucid-automated-server-testing [15:25] apache has an external testsuite but you have to fiddle with the package [15:25] mathiaz: Right, so it doesn't really apply here. [15:25] soren: upstream dovecot wiki has an explanation [15:25] Those are separate work items. [15:25] mathiaz: Yes, I've seen it. [15:26] soren: right [15:26] alright, sounds like a good action point [15:26] I intend to package it at some point and get it to run periodically. [15:26] ...I just haven't gotten round to that yet. [15:26] soren: i should have a qemu-kvm-0.12 merge ready soon ... any chance there will be a testing ringer i can put it through before unleashing it on people? [15:26] [ACTION] Soren to sollicit packages that lend them selves well to nightly builds [15:26] ACTION received: Soren to sollicit packages that lend them selves well to nightly builds [15:27] kirkland: We could, but I don't think my current set of tests that use kvm will exercise it much more than what you get to do on a daily basis of just using it normally. [15:28] soren: gotcha [15:28] soren: anything else to report from QA? [15:28] I'm happy to test it in my daily work, though. [15:28] jiboumans: Not at the moment, no. I expect to have a bunch of stuff for next week (a lot of my stuff is targeted for alpha-2). [15:28] soren: we look forward to next weeks update then [15:28] any questions for soren/QA? [15:29] soren: what's the status of the Server QA position? [15:29] mathiaz: I don't know if I have the full picture, but as far as I know, there's no-one in the pipeline right now, so it'll probably be a while. [15:30] But like in every other context, I somehow always manage to be the last person to know anything :) [15:31] no that would be me ;) [15:32] See? I didn't even know that. [15:32] cute :) any other questions? [15:32] I don't use the new us-west-1 region in EC2 much yet, but bug 494185 makes the official Ubuntu AMIs broken there, and users have complained. This seems like a pretty high priority to me. It could either be fixed by publishing updated AMIs (bug 503649) or by having IT modify the firewall on the us-east-1 apt mirror to allow external access in the short term (very low cost). [15:32] Launchpad bug 494185 in ec2-init "ec2-init selects us-east-1 mirror when running in us-west-1 region" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/494185 [15:32] Launchpad bug 503649 in ubuntu "Release updated official Ubuntu EC2 AMIs for Karmic, Hardy" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/503649 [15:34] i think we shoudl push new images there.

[15:35] just in general, from anyone doing UEC/EC2 ish stuff [15:35] this is particularly for the QA team :) [15:35] jiboumans: yeah, them too :-) [15:35] soren: can you/QA help with either of those issues? [15:36] Uh.. [15:36] * soren seems to be missing something [15:36] 'no' is an acceptable answer :) [15:36] Sorry, how did QA get wound up in this? :) [15:37] right, 'no' it is [15:37] Works for me :) [15:37] [ACTION] smoser to investigate publishing new AMIs [15:37] ACTION received: smoser to investigate publishing new AMIs [15:37] [TOPIC] Q&A with the kernel team (jjohansen) [15:37] New Topic: Q&A with the kernel team (jjohansen) [15:37] jjohansen: so sorry to keep you waiting [15:37] np [15:37] erichammond, coudl you do me a favor and snif test a recent -testing build ? [15:37] kirkland: I'll test run the latest euca2ools today [15:37] jjohansen: i notice one open work item for you: fix kernel configs such that uec requires no ramdisk (bug 494565) [15:37] Launchpad bug 494565 in linux "support ramdiskless boot for relavant kvm drive interfaces in -virtual" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/494565 [15:37] kirkland: while doing some more UEC testing [15:38] smoser: sure thing. [15:38] kirkland: Will euca2ools work with my EC2 account that starts with a zero now? [15:38] jiboumans: yeah, I am behind on that one, I am going to see what I can get done on that today and tomorrow [15:38] jjohansen: it's part of the alpha2 target; you see any risk of it not being done by then? [15:39] yeah it is in danger for alpha2 as kernel changes have deadline of friday [15:39] erichammond: according to the changelog, yes [15:39] erichammond: and commit history [15:39] smoser: what's the impact on cloud-krd if this doesn't happen? [15:39] erichammond: it would be great if you could confirm, or reopen that bug if not [15:39] well, our uec images will just need to have a ramdisk [15:39] which they do now [15:40] right, so it would spill over to alpha3 [15:40] jjohansen: we're still allowed to make changes like this for alpha3, yes? [15:40] if ever it were fixed i just have put back in a change that removes them (they didn't have a ramdisk for a while) [15:41] jiboumans: yes it should be good, its really just some config changes [15:41] Two bugs on my plate for the kernel team: bug 499785 and bug 499491.

[15:43] jjohansen: anything else we need to be aware of? [15:43] not that I can think of [15:44] wait [15:44] there is an EC2 kernel update coming [15:44] but that should break anything, I point smoser at the test kernels today [15:44] i so hope you meant 'should not' ;) [15:45] yeah :) [15:45] alright, thanks for letting us know ;) [15:45] [TOPIC] weekly SRU review (mathiaz) [15:45] New Topic: weekly SRU review (mathiaz) [15:46] one bug nominated for jaunty [15:46] bug 117736 [15:46] Launchpad bug 117736 in libpam-mount "pam_mount unable to unmount needs root priv" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/117736 [15:46] * kirkland shudders at pam_mount [15:46] one bug nominated for karmic: bug 379329 [15:46] Launchpad bug 379329 in openssh "CVE-2008-5161: OpenSSH CBC plaintext recovery" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/379329 [15:46] Are these two bus SRU worth?

[17:09] like if you want to start doing triage, that's one of the easy targets we recommend to new people [17:09] ah ok, thx [17:10] thx to all who participated! [17:10] we are not going to have bug day this week (too much to lately) , however, we're looking targets for the next week [17:10] ok [17:11] so if you have something in mind, drop the idea at -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/Planning [17:11] pedro_: I made a list of packages with lots of apport crashes if that might be interesting [17:11] bdmurray, sure! sounds like a good one [17:12] like system-config-printer has 94 [17:12] is that list available somewhere?

[17:15] any new topics for discussion? [17:15] marjo_, on the bug days no, that's all [17:15] I have a holiday present coming out soon [17:15] http://murraytwins.com/tmp/lp_highlight_words.png [17:15] LINK received: http://murraytwins.com/tmp/lp_highlight_words.png [17:16] Its a new greasemonkey script that highlights words in bug reports [17:16] I find it easier to scan bug reports that way [17:16] bdmurray: nice! [17:16] that looks great :-) [17:16] bdmurray: Nice! [17:17] Any suggestions for words? This is what I have [17:17] 'DistroRelease:.*|SourcePackage:.*|lucid|karmic|jaunty|intrepid|hardy|dapper': "yellow", [17:17] 'regression': "red", [17:18] oh, maybe there should be a separate color for old releases [17:18] like breezy ;-) [17:18] could you define those somewhere? [17:18] ah i see [17:19] folks: any new topics for discussion? [17:19] pedro_: they are currently hard coded in the script [17:19] pedro_: do you mean you'd want to add your own words? [17:20] bdmurray, right, but editing the script works for me :-P [17:20] i was thinking on the kernel folks, they might want to highlight the kernel version for example [17:21] pedro_: got it [17:22] folks: any new topics for discussion? [17:23] marjo_: just a reminder that alpha 2 is out next week unless something mad happened [17:23] reminder: Alpha 2 is next week, 14 january [17:23] davmor2: ack === yofel_ is now known as yofel [17:24] marjo_: Wrong attitude should be YAY!!!!!!

[19:01] fighting to get my laptop to boot :) [19:02] * Lns pokes his head in [19:03] ok so I have 5 people noted as present [19:03] agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Meetings/Agenda [19:03] I'm here. [19:04] I'm here, but a new member though :) [19:04] hi dhillon-v10, and welcome [19:04] highvoltage, thanks and happy new year to all [19:04] highvoltage, you seem familiar :) [19:04] hi everybody [19:04] oh right, it's our first meeting of the year [19:04] hey all [19:04] happy new year to all of you then! [19:04] woot! [19:06] stgraber: want to say something about the netbook packages perhaps? [19:06] * stgraber waves for real [19:06] lol [19:06] * highvoltage couldn't help but wave for real either now :) [19:06] I don't have X working but that's not really a requirement for IRC, so ... [19:06] ok, so, I did the seed changes for the netbook edition [19:07] heh. nice big old fasioned 80x24 irssi :) [19:07] though everything is currently stuck because the chinese packages don't install [19:07] highvoltage: not if youve got KMS ;) [19:07] nah, I have KMS so that's console but 1440x900 :) [19:07] stalcup, if you don't mind, what seems to be wrong with the chinese packages :) [19:08] * dhillon-v10 apologizes wrong person [19:08] maco: heh, good point [19:08] ok, just got X working again ! [19:08] though not gdm, I had to startx ;) [19:08] stgraber: I saw you spoke to someone (I think it was cjwatson) about our builds that haven't been running, did you perhaps get any clarification on that? [19:09] they actually are running [19:10] I just don't get an e-mail about it until it succeeds to debootstrap [19:10] ah I checked today but it still only had the old one from 23 December [19:10] http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/livefs-build-logs/lucid/edubuntu-dvd/ [19:11] oh, actually, today it's something else that's broken, not the translation package [19:12] yesterday it seems like it was: [19:12] language-support-zh: Depends: language-support-zh-hans (>= 1:10.04+20091218) but it is not going to be installed [19:12] exiv2: Depends: libexiv2-6 but it is not installable [19:12] hola [19:12] yes that's today [19:13] kubuntu is failing for a similar reason, so it's not something we can fix in edubuntu, it's common to all derivatives [19:14] so, that was for the status of the netbook edition [19:14] for the live LTSP, I haven't received an answer from cjwatson_ yet and as we don't get a DVD build anyway, it doesn't really help ;) [19:14] ok [19:15] so, that was for the good news ;) [19:15] I guess it's also worth mentioning that there's diskless fat client support in LTSP now which will be available in lucid [19:15] right, that package is actually in Lucid now, so it's already supported [19:16] highvoltage: can you give us a short intro on how that works? [19:16] alkisg: it's a ltsp plugin [19:16] (behind the scenes...) [19:16] * Lns was about to ask the same thing [19:16] alkisg: you basically do a --fat-client --fat-client-desktop x/edu/k/u/buntu [19:17] alkisg: it basically installs the desktop metapackages and all it's dependencies in the chroot [19:17] alkisg: stgraber added to ldm so that if you have a switch set, I think it's FAT_CLIENT = true or something similar in lts.conf [19:17] then ldm will load the local session in the chroot [19:17] yep, that's FAT_CLIENT = True [19:18] And the user home is mounted with sshfs? [19:18] it has some interesting consequences in the sense that you might want to run some apps remotely [19:18] alkisg: yes [19:18] authentication is done using ssh and /home is mounted using sshfs [19:18] so it introduces the concept of remote-apps :) [19:18] heh [19:18] ltsp-remoteapps can be used to start remote applications [19:18] stgraber: so auth doesn't require passwd/group files to sync w/the chroot or anything? [19:18] cool, I wasn't quite aware that that has been implemented yet [19:19] highvoltage: did you try it? How does it "feel"? How much time did it get for a client to boot? [19:19] alkisg: it's quite fast, depends mostly on your network speed [19:19] alkisg: but even on 100mbps it's quite snappy [19:19] I'm actually using ltsp-remoteapps at the office with firefox, it's very experimental but for some things, it works [19:20] alkisg: obviously you'll need a much better client than with a thin client [19:20] * alkisg would like to use that instead of standalone ubuntu installations for newer school labs... :) [19:20] I'll give it a go as soon as Lucid is workable :-/ [19:20] i might be able to try this next week. [19:20] mgariepy: want to give us an update on the menu editor? [19:21] highvoltage: are the sys requirements for a fat client basically the same as a normal standalone install of ubuntu? [19:21] The menu editor will be ready on the end of the week, i got a few bugs to fix before i release it [19:22] Lns: basically yes. it creates a compressed swap file in ram, I think about 128MB if you have 512MB, but we've also done away with jockey and apport, so it kind of balances out [19:22] Lns: so more or less the same yes [19:22] mgariepy: great! [19:22] mgariepy: rundown on menu editor? [19:23] i'll post a message on edubuntu-user edubuntu-dev when the package will be ready. [19:23] Lns: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Edubuntu/Specifications/EdubuntuLucidMenuEditor [19:23] stgraber: thx [19:24] currently it let's you build the menu through the UI and save it, there [19:24] there's still a bunch of bugfix to do as well as the actual profile packing [19:24] and the UI to assign the menu to groups [19:24] but it's looking really good and we are well on time for that [19:24] so this isn't overlapping any functionality with sabayon, right? [19:24] nop [19:24] UI is similar but nope [19:25] mmk [19:25] it's not modifying the user's menu but instead it's using XDG inheriting to modify the system menu [19:25] so it's basically like a global alacarte ? [19:26] Lns, yeah sort off, but we do not manage new "desktop-entry" only submenu and existing entries [19:27] cool =) [19:27] thanks mgariepy [19:28] you are welcome. [19:28] on the website front, HedgeMage has been working on a new theme [19:28] she also fixed up our current database [19:28] highvoltage, I would like to help out with the website [19:28] it was something like 190MB big and she got it down to like, 3MB [19:29] dhillon-v10: cool, ping us afterwards on #edubuntu. you're more than welcome to get involved [19:29] highvoltage, sorry [19:29] dhillon-v10: we'll be happy to have you :) [19:29] so once that's replaced the site should be faster [19:29] dhillon-v10: sorry for? :) [19:29] highvoltage, disrupting the meeting when I could have talked to you guys later on [19:29] dhillon-v10: oh no problem, it's jsut that we don't want to spend 20 minutes talking about the website here :) [19:30] So far the upgrade to 6.0 is done, the DB is cleaned up, and issues are written for the rest at http://github.com/HedgeMage/edubuntuorg/issues [19:30] HedgeMage: I don't have the links with your mock-ups handy, could you perhaps paste them? [19:30] Additional comments/issues/etc are welcome [19:30] highvoltage: hold on, let me grab them from the theming issue [19:31] Mockups are at http://imagebin.ca/view/KgCXBt.html and http://imagebin.ca/view/5n49WaF.html [19:32] on the wiki side I've started mangling the wiki, meant to delete more pages but I think I already created 2 new ones :) [19:32] highvoltage and I have already discussed that while we are using git to pass changes back and forth while we work, access to the repository will be restricted to protect users' personal information in the DB. When this is all done I'll write up a case study so folks can use any of the work we've done. :) [19:32] overall they should come down as more are combined though [19:33] I just wanted to point that out so no one takes offense -- we do want community participation. :) [19:34] indeed [19:34] let [19:34] let's move on to the bug day [19:34] that's happening on the 12th, next week [19:35] sbalneav wrote a nice mail to the list about it [19:35] I think we should blog about it and get the word out [19:35] * HedgeMage puts it on her calendar [19:36] also, if everyone could make an effore to be around and in #edubuntu during the 12th for when people drop by, that would be great [19:36] ideally we should cover as many timezones as possible [19:37] I'll try to remember to blog about it [19:37] I'll poke you :) [19:38] anything else? [19:38] how is everyone doing? [19:38] I have a quick question... [19:38] sorry all, was in a work meeting [19:39] About https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl1.2/+bug/203158 - can we put libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio in the seeds instead of alsa? It'll help in tuxpaint etc working by default, both in workstations and in ltsp... [19:39] Ubuntu bug 203158 in pulseaudio "libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio must be installed as default by libsdl1.2debian" [Undecided,Confirmed] [19:39] When it was ust highvoltage and I, making a quick issue queue on github for webstuff seemed like the thing to do, but is there somewhere more central/find-able that we can collaborate at least for issues? [19:39] no problem, any sabayon updates or is it status quo? [19:39] gksu is still broken [19:39] I'm concerned becasue I'm not sure that github has any feature that will let us keep the queue public while the repo is private. [19:39] mvo is reluctant to --enable-forkpty [19:40] HedgeMage: there's edubuntu-website in Launchpad [19:40] HedgeMage: I guess it would be ideal to file bugs against it in LP [19:40] so, I'm going to have to dig into the libgksu code tonight, and see if I can fix it the way he'd prefer. [19:40] highvoltage: that can work, though I think the repo should stay on github because afaik lp does not allow private repos [19:41] HedgeMage: ok, no problem [19:42] LP supports private repo, you just need to poke an admin about it [19:42] we could give that a shoe [19:42] *shot [19:44] any other business ? [19:44] Should we start using https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-dev/+archive/ppa ? E.g. sbalneav could start uploading test versions of sabayon there, and stgraber could upload iTalc... I think it'll give some additional value to edubuntu. [19:44] alkisg: I wouldn't just yet [19:44] we need to get that team approved for archive upload first [19:44] so the less we use it before we go through this process, the easier [19:44] stgraber: where do we do that? at the next developer board meeting? [19:45] alkisg++ [19:45] votation will end in two weeks, then we'll get the new developer board in place and we'll be able to ask for edubuntu-dev to be approved [19:46] ok [19:46] how about like a screenshot tour of edubuntu [19:47] dhillon-v10: sounds like a good idea, we should probably think of that once we have the new website up and running and relatively close to relesae [19:47] dhillon-v10: we used to have that, I think it just became outdated so we removed it [19:47] as we currently don't know what Edubuntu will look like [19:47] dhillon-v10: but a new one would be nice indeed [19:47] oh yes! [19:48] well :) after the rc gets out [19:48] highvoltage: since you own edubuntu-webteam can you take into getting us that private repo? [19:48] I forgot to mention, I got in touch with Mads Rosendahl who did the ldm ubuntu artwork [19:48] he's going to make some wallpapers/artwork for us [19:49] hopefully it's real nice then we'll be able to finalise our artwork quite early [19:49] Yey! That ldm artwork is very cool! [19:49] highvoltage: In the mean time maybe dhillon-v10 and I can copy our issues over -- there are only 15 or so, so doing it manually should not be a big deal. [19:49] dhillon-v10: ah, you saw I added you to bugsquad? [19:49] highvoltage: you didn't forward me the answer it seems ;) [19:49] highvoltage: nice :) (re: artwork) [19:49] sbalneav, yup thanks a bunch :) [19:50] About the pulseaudio problem, ubuntu doesn't seem to want to put libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio on the CD seeds, as it isn't in main (while -alsa is). But it breaks all SDL apps, both on workstations and on LTSP. On the other hand, we don't have the "main" limitation, we are allowed to put stuff from universe to our DVD. Should we consider putting it to the DVD seeds? [19:50] HedgeMage, alright I can do that :) [19:50] HedgeMage: ok that sounds good [19:50] dhillon-v10: thanks :D [19:50] stgraber: eek, I assumed he replied-to-all, I'll do so [19:50] highvoltage: in the mean time could you add dhillon-v10 and I to the webteam so we can play with the issue queue? [19:51] alkisg: any other reason why it's not in Ubuntu ? because if the only reason is that it's not in main, then we do a MIR and are done with it [19:51] ok, you can both just apply and I'll approve [19:51] I'm trying to make sure we have all core components of Edubuntu in main so we have the LTS support for these [19:51] HedgeMage, a quick question: since the some of the issues have been worked upon by different people could it be a good idea to have them as blueprints ? [19:52] actual packages are less of an issue but common libraries really should be in main [19:52] stgraber: I didn't hear of any other reason. They don't want it in Kubuntu/Xubuntu, as those don't use pulseaudio, but for Ubuntu, all bug reports state that "installing libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio resolves the no audio and hanging apps problems" [19:53] highvoltage: done [19:53] HedgeMage, I think I am in the website team here right:https://edge.launchpad.net/~edubuntu-website [19:53] dhillon-v10: it was my impression (and I haven't used LP in years) that a blueprint might be for say, the web relaunch as a whole, but they aren't really for individual issues. [19:54] dhillon-v10: yes you are [19:54] alkisg: did you try poking TheMuso about it ? IIRC he's the one taking care of the sound stuff in Ubuntu [19:54] HedgeMage, okay then :) [19:54] blueprints are for speficications [19:54] stgraber: no, the last person I talked with was crimsun [19:54] highvoltage, true I was wondering for some of then that are like enhancements [19:54] stgraber and I have to run to another meeting in 5 minutes [19:54] what's edge.launchpad.net ? [19:55] highvoltage: Ben isn't at the office yet, we have a few more mins it seems [19:55] is there anything else important that we need to log before moving to #edubuntu? [19:55] stgraber: I'll try poking TheMuso, but I'm afraid I'll need someone to back me up for the MIR [19:55] ah, ok :) [19:55] I don't think so [19:55] * HedgeMage departs [19:55] alkisg: you can write the MIR following the new process (since this week) as describe on ubuntu-devel, then subscribe me to the bug [19:55] I'll poke pitti if necessary to get it reviewed [19:56] stgraber: do you have a link for the new MIR process? [19:56] (if it's on the wiki, I'll find it...) [19:57] alkisg: in your mailbox [19:57] Thanks :) [19:57] ok... [19:57] *BONG* [19:58] (time to teleport to #edubuntu) [19:58] hey, we finished it on time ! [19:58] 2min to spare even [19:58] have a nice day all! === _sky is now known as skydrome === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson === fader_ is now known as fader|away === robbiew is now known as robbiew_
