MootBotNew Topic:  * bac to update wiki page to make clear community contributor landing responsibilities15:07
salgadobac, yeah, this time I'll do it15:07
baci actually made the changes to the wiki and sent out email to the list...about an hour ago.15:07
bacthe only other outstanding action item is the one for launchpadlib tests that are due 17-Mar15:08
marsbac, CHR, apologies15:09
bacagain this week there are no new agenda items on the wiki15:09
bacthanks mars, i assumed so15:09
bacas i mentioned a few weeks ago, if there are no new items we should probably cancel the meeting15:10
baci'll look at the wiki on tuesday EOD and send out a cancellation email if it seems appropriate15:10
bac[topic] peanut gallery -- any new topic?15:10
MootBotNew Topic:  peanut gallery -- any new topic?15:10
sinzuihas wgrant been invited to become a reviewer?15:11
bacnot to my knowledge15:11
bacbigjools do you think we should do that and would one of your team volunteer to be his mentor?15:12
bigjoolsI think that should come after he get s commit rights15:12
bigjoolswhenever that is15:13
bacreally?  they seem orthogonal to me, except for the reviewer lands community stuff issue15:13
bigjoolsjust IMHO15:13
sinzuiI do not think commit rights are important. I trust wgrants reviews (as he reports on bugs in emails). I think his insights should be acknowledged as a code review15:14
* noodles775 would find it a pleasure, whenever the timing is settled :)15:14
bigjoolsI think that asking people to review w/o commit access is a little cheeky15:14
bacnoodles775 thanks, i think that's be great if you think the time zone issues allow it15:15
abentleybigjools, if you think about it, commit rights are about whether someone can follow procedure.  Reviewership requires taste and grokking our guidelines.15:15
abentleybigjools, so arguably, commit rights should come first, because the bar is lower.15:16
marsmakes sense15:16
sinzuiWe are seeking contributors to do UI reviews. These users may never right code, may never want to submit a branch.15:16
sinzuiwrite15:16
bigjoolswhich is my point ...15:16
sinzuibigjools: but commit rights steps into Canonical issues we cannot control. We do control who is a reviewer15:17
bigjoolswe need to trust both15:17
bacas a team we haven't had the discussion in full about commit rights for community.  thought you can argue it should come first it seems to be an unnecessary blocker to inviting wgrant to be a reviewer right now15:18
bigjoolswell I've stated my opinion but I'm not precious about it - if he wants to do it and you all think it's a good idea then fine.15:19
abentleybac, right.  Commit rights should ideally be easier to achieve and so usually come first, but if they aren't easier to achieve, then I don't think that ordering has to be enforced.15:19
sinzuibigjools: yes, I am most concerned that we are inviting him. leonardr declined the invitation for a year15:19
bacbigjools you have a closer working relationship with him so you could invite him.  or i'll do it, whichever you prefer15:19
bigjoolslet's take it to the list15:20
bacbigjools: take what to the list?  the invitation or the discussion of whether to do it?15:21
bigjoolsdiscussion15:21
bacright.15:21
bac[action] bigjools to start a list discussion about community members as reviewers15:21
MootBotACTION received:  bigjools to start a list discussion about community members as reviewers15:21
bigjoolscool, I get to suck next week too :)15:22
bacany other topics?15:22
baci have a brief request:15:22
bactwo actually15:22
bac1) please indicate regrets on the wiki if you cannot make this meeting15:22
bac2) team leads help in rounding up your team15:23
bacthat is all15:23
bigjoolshow about everyone learns to use calendar reminders15:23
bacbigjools that'd be nice.  but when they don't it's easier for you to help round up a few people than me to remember everyone15:24
bigjoolssure that's not a problem, but you'll notice it's the same people every week :)15:24
bacoh, one other thing15:25
bacthe ASIAPAC meeting has moved to 2130UTC15:25

bacanyone here?21:31
bachi21:31
thumperhi21:31
bacis rockstar around?21:31
bacguess not21:31
bacso our AMEU meeting was pretty straightforward21:32
bacuntil we got to the end and sinzui brought up the topic of community reviewers21:33
bacwhich led to the discussion of giving community members commit access21:33
thumperI've been reading the emails21:33
bacafter a while we decided to take it to the mailing list, which you may have seen21:33
bacit's an interesting topic21:34
bacwe're a little different from a typical open source project but every time i try to think through that argument i get tied up21:35
sinzuiOne far more complicated then I imagined. wgrant could say no and the issue is moot for several months21:35
thumperpersonally I think due to the potential private information that is there21:35
thumperit is likely that we should hold the commit access to internal devs21:35
thumperreviewer I'm entirely happy with21:36
thumperit is more about the corporate business case21:36
thumperrather than trusting an individual21:36
bacthumper: that's where i'm leaning21:36
sinzuiIndeed. I never imagined commit access could be granted (certainly not by us) so I did not include the issue in my orginal question: has wgrant been asked to become a reviewer21:37
bacof course a malicious person on any OSS could wreak lots of havoc21:37
thumperbac: yes, that is true21:38
bacsinzui: i think the answer is no.21:38
thumperbac: but an internal person can be disciplined (or fired)21:38
thumperbac: so has more to lose21:38
bacthumper: indeed21:38
thumperwgrant: want to be a reviewer?21:38
thumperbac: problem solved21:39
bacsinzui: so unless thumper has asked wgrant....well, there yougo21:39
thumperJFDI21:39
sinzuiwe are open source, and we are indebted to contributors who have identified security issue. That is not the issue with asking someone to help review21:39
thumperJust Freaking Did It21:39
thumperheh21:39
bacso, that was about all we discussed today, except the role call of the procrastinators21:40
bacer, roll call21:40
bacanyone have a topic to discuss?21:41
thumpernot really21:41
bacmwhudson: ?21:42
mwhudsonbac: nope21:42
bacok, cool21:42
bacwell, let's call it a meeting then21:42
bac#endmeeting21:42
MootBotMeeting finished at 15:42.21:42
mwhudsonbac: thanks21:42
thumperbac: thanks too21:42
bacnp21:43
rockstarAgh.  I forgot it was Wednesday.22:00
wgrantHmmm.22:16
wgrantI thought the private data issue would probably be a problem, but ISD doesn't seem concerned enough to fix critical security issues until "the end of the week, if sysadmin availability allows", so it seems nobody actually cares.22:21
wgrantISD doesn't seem to maintain I public presence so I can tell them that I am not amused :(22:24
