nixternalheh, I take it we didn't consider changing the ordering just yet? :)16:24
cjwatsonI have no background on this agenda item16:24
nixternalshould we have a vote on doing membership stuff the first hour?16:24
cody-somervilleI added that.16:24
cjwatsonI do think it seems to take us too long agonising before we get started :-)16:25
nixternalwe don't want to be doing 2 hour meetings....i say spend an hour on membership if there are that many, and then use the rest of the time to hit the other agenda items?16:25
cody-somervilleI'll write an e-mail to the list about this.16:25
nixternalcody-somerville: thanks16:25
persia____I think we should do administrative forst, but then focus on membership quickly.16:26

nixternalSylvestre: a quick intro will be fine while we work up some questions for you16:29
Sylvestreok16:29
Sylvestrethx16:29
SylvestreMy full time work is being a core developer on Scilab and in charge of the Linux / Unix / Mac version of the software.16:29
SylvestreI am also a Debian Developer, leader of the Debian Science team and involved in the Debian Java team.16:29
SylvestreI maintain Scilab and most of it dependencies (like some pretty borring one like atlas). I also maitain some other packages like guake.16:29
SylvestreOn the overall, if I apply, it is that I would like to be able to manage directly into Ubuntu the most important packages (Scilab, guake, atlas, blas, lapack) to make sure that Ubuntu is shipped with the right versions of ""my"" packages.16:30
cjwatsonSylvestre: just on an administrative note, it would help to have an explicit package list - your DDPO page has packages in a few categories (primary maintainer, sponsored upload, NMU, etc.) and it would be easier to deal with an explicit list16:30
nixternalSylvestre: are you looking at 42 packages to have PPU for?16:30
persia____Sylvestre: You're clearly very active in thses packages in Debian.  Could you share some of your thoughts on how the Ubuntu release cycle differs from Debian, and how this might affect when or what should be uploaded?16:30
cjwatsonwhat do you consider the "right versions"?16:30
cjwatsonthis is a deliberately vague question :-)16:30
Sylvestreoh, plenty of questions16:30
Sylvestreabout the list, some of my package are not very important (worldwind, some 'useless' libs, etc), I can do a list of what seems important16:31
SylvestreI don't know if you have a way to help DD on this subject for the list of packages16:31
cody-somervilleSylvestre, With regards to the packages you're looking for upload permissions for, do you work closely with the Ubuntu developers who work on those packages in Ubuntu?16:31
Sylvestrecody-somerville, my concern is that they are not really someone working of these packages16:32
cjwatsonI'm just asking for an explicit list of the packages you're applying for; I'm not trying to pass judgement on their importance16:32
cody-somervilleSylvestre, For some of them there definitely is.16:32
Sylvestreblas, lapack, atlas are critical in the scientific world and AFAIK, they are not really maintained on the ubuntu side16:32
cjwatson(because I may have to sit and tell Launchpad about the permission changes on each of those and I'm going to need that to be 'for x in foo bar baz;')16:32
cjwatsonI agree the atlas stack is at best undermaintained16:33
cjwatsonof course note that we actually regard it as a feature that packages are synced where possible, although obviously somebody needs to be paying attention to bugs16:33
Sylvestrepersia____, I think that Debian is too exigent for its release, the degree of quality is too high. I am happy with testing but for "normal users", I defintely prefer Ubuntu16:34
Sylvestrecjwatson, I really like working with team, I'll be happy to work with others on the package I maintain (as long as we agree on a common Vcs)16:34
persia____Sylvestre: I'm more looking for your thoughts on how things would differ from a developer perspective?  What do you think you'd have to do differently, etc.16:35
cody-somervilleSylvestre, What VCS would that be?16:35
nixternalit looks like all of your packages are being sync'd from Debian->Ubuntu16:36
SylvestreDebian-science svn or git for science packages16:36
SylvestreI am using torsten werner svn for non java / science packages16:36
SylvestreI don't know bzr but I don't mind learning16:37
cody-somervilleSylvestre, Are you familiar with Ubuntu's model of maintaining packages communally?16:37
geserSylvestre: your LP page doesn't show any sponsored uploads. Was there no need for e.g. sync requests after DIF to pull fixes from Debian to Ubuntu or did someone else those?16:37
Sylvestre(sorry, I am doing the list)16:38
Sylvestrethe list would be atlas, blas, code-saturne and its dependencies (ecs, libbft, libcgns, libfvm, libmei) Scilab and its dependencies (flexdock, jeuclid, jhdf, libjgraphx-java, libjlatexmath-java, libjogl-java, libjrosetta-java, libmatio,libskinlf-java),16:38
SylvestreI can also maintain guake and fwbuilder since they seems pretty used in Ubuntu16:39
cjwatsonthat seems like a reasonable list, thanks16:39
Sylvestrecody-somerville, not sure to understand exactly your question16:39
nixternalSylvestre: you are already maintaining them, though upstream, they are all being sync'd to ubuntu from what I could see :)16:39
Sylvestregeser, indeed, I have been waiting for the automatic sync16:39
nixternalwhich is a good thing btw16:39
Sylvestrenixternal, yes, I just liked to be able to sync when I want (and when ubuntu is not freeze)16:40
Sylvestreespecially since I deeply changed the blas/lapack/atlas stuff (which is a dependency of more than 300 packages)16:41
Sylvestrehttp://bit.ly/bcibeF16:42
MootBotLINK received:  http://bit.ly/bcibeF16:42
nixternalI am fairly certain though that PPU/MOTU/Core-Dev doesn't give you anymore of an advantage of synching than a typical user/contributor...you still request a sync the same way right?16:42
cjwatsonum16:42
cjwatsonif someone who can upload a package requests a sync, we will execute it without question (assuming that we're not in freeze, whatever)16:42
nixternalat least that's how I always did it...don't tell me there was an easier way that I never looked at persuing :)16:42
cjwatsonthey could upload it directly anyway16:43
nixternalcjwatson: ahh, yeah...16:43
cjwatsonif somebody who can't upload a package requests a sync, we will make them get sponsorship16:43
cjwatsonin future, people with upload permissions will be able to sync directly by pressing a button in LP16:43
nixternalright...16:43
geserSylvestre: in your "What I like least in Ubuntu" section, you mention the missing "feedback" from Ubuntu to Debian. Have you some ideas on how we can improve that?16:43
nixternalcjwatson: "future" :D16:43
cjwatsontherefore it is perfectly reasonable for people to apply for upload privileges on the basis that they want more convenient syncs16:43
cjwatsonnixternal: near future16:43
SylvestreWell, I don't really want to fill many requests and check on them if they have been done or not16:43
nixternalrock on!16:43
nixternalno way I am doubting Sylvestre experience anyways, he has more Debian packages than I do :)16:44
Sylvestregeser, for example, it would be great to have an option in Launchpad to say "OK, I am a DD and I would like to be informed of any upload from Ubuntu, any bug reports on 'my' packages"16:44
* lfaraone also would like that feature. *goes off to file a request*16:45
SylvestreZack is going to talk about that at UDS16:45
cjwatsonI think that would get support as long as people can figure out how to design it16:45
persia____Sylvestre: So, some sort of subscribe-all-the-packages-where-I'm-listed-as -maintainer button?16:45
Sylvestreexactly16:46
nixternalthat would be a nice feature, instead of going to every package and subscribing manually16:46
nixternalok, everyone ready to vote? anymore questions?16:46
SylvestreI did that once but I have to do it for each new package :/16:46
cody-somervilleSylvestre, If a Ubuntu developer upload a change to a package you maintain in Debian that you disagree with, what would you do?16:46
nixternalooh good q? there16:46
cody-somervilleI'd still like to hear thoughts on how behaviours may differ in preparing uploads for Debian and Ubuntu.16:47
SylvestreDepends on the kind of changes, if it is an icon, I won't mind (or I will detect ubuntu or debian and switch it)16:47
Sylvestreif it is a bigger issue, I usually like to ask on a mailing list if my solution is crap or not16:48
SylvestreI really don't care being wrong (as long as I hear good arguments)16:48
Sylvestre(btw, most of my packages are team maintained)16:48
SylvestreI don't believe in the "one package = one maintainer" approch16:49

lfaraoneHi, my name is Luke Faraone. I have been working on Ubuntu since 2007. I am a Debian Maintainer, and am currently going through the Debian New Maintainer process.16:54
lfaraoneMy interest in Ubuntu MOTU work is twofold: fixing low-hanging fruit when I can find it, and handling sponsorship / syncing RC bugs fixes from Debian. I'm not one to come up with brilliant solutions to problems, so I prefer to leave that to others and handle the more straightforward, but potentially less interesting work myself.16:54

lfaraoneIn Ubuntu, I've worked on a variety of packages reviewing the RCBugs list. A lot of my uploads were syncs, but they involved carefully checking the changelog during freezes and testing to ensure these packages built and installed in Lucid.16:55
lfaraone(EOF)16:56
nixternallfaraone: in the 'what you like least' section, i take you are talking about how KDE apps look in GNOME? In KDE, GNOME apps are looking more and more native now, can't even tell the difference unless the underlying subsystem crashes, then it goes all 1980 looking on you :)16:57
lfaraonenixternal: well, I hadn't tried Lucid on my main system when I wrote that :)16:57
geserlfaraone: your sponsors mention that you should do some more checks before "uploads". Could you give some examples of what you have missed in the past?16:58
lfaraonegeser: I've forgotten to update the maintainer, for example. (during actual uploads, that is)16:58
lfaraonegeser: And occasionally I forget the suite. I've been combating that recently by triple-checking everything that I usually miss before submitting it to sponsors.16:59
lfaraone*the correct suite; such as "karmic" instead of "karmic-updates"16:59
cjwatsonyeah, I've evolved a pretty paranoid set of wetware checks myself over time17:00
nixternalif i don't update maintainer, debuild tells me about it and bombs out17:00
lfaraonenixternal: as soon as I figure out how to do that, I'll implement that in an instant :)17:01
nixternali thought that was a default action, because I have never modified debuild to do it17:01
geserthat happens when you use your @ubuntu.com email address for the changelog17:01
lfaraonenixternal: it's a warning, I think I've seen it on occasion, but it's not fatal IIRC.17:01
nixternalgeser: ahhhhhhh17:02
lfaraonegeser: ah, I use my personal email :)17:02
cjwatsonyeah, it's a slightly crudely odd check17:02
cjwatsonor oddly crude, or something17:02
nixternallol17:02
lfaraoneI'll put that on my to-investigate list.17:03
nixternali like that check, because maintainer for some reason is in the back of my head..but i always using my @ubuntu.com addy17:03
cody-somervillelfaraone, Do you find making small mistakes is frequently a problem for you?17:03
cody-somerville*is still17:03
cjwatsonI'm glad somebody is gardening the RC-fixes-not-in-Ubuntu list.  Is there anything we could do to improve handling of that?17:03
lfaraonecody-somerville: No. I've been working very hard recently to ensure that doesn't happen.17:03
cjwatsonapart from just more people looking at it17:03
lfaraonecjwatson: I'm not sure. It'd be nice to get more information in the UI itself, rather than having to reference several pages manually, but that's a task for someone with AJAX skills :)17:04
nixternallfaraone: something I did when I was doing the whole MOTU thing was I had a checklist....when I got MOTU, I was whicked anal retentive and would check not once, but twice, or three times...I even have a nack for testing building, installing and testing in a chroot, and installing it live on my system and running it to test for regressions...yeah, that means I am not putting it out whicked fast, but I am at least trying to get it out th17:05
cjwatsonmm, if somebody has a "simple guide to applying ajax to noddy web pages" I'd be interested ...17:05

neversfeldeLast meeting the question came up, why I want to be a MOTU and not a kubuntu-dev. Turns out that it seems to be necessary to be a MOTU and a kubuntu-dev to handle the over 100 KDE packages in universe.17:10
neversfeldeBeneath that I believe that Ubuntu is one distribution and so I am not limited to packages which have a K in it, although I did not package a GNOME app or something else in the past.17:11
neversfeldeI think it is quite normal, that I focus on KDE applications, because it is the desktop I use, but I also want to help in a general way.17:11
cjwatsonyeah, the kubuntu unseeded packages stuff is complicated and I'd prefer not to block applicants on it17:11
cjwatsonthough there has been some discussion on it17:11
nixternalhehe, I look at build failures, and of course it was kdebindings... fyi dmb, ignore those, as there has yet to be a single upload w/o a failure :)17:12

smoseri guess that the work item tracker has probabply helped a bit17:29
nixternalie. i started using some GTD methods to help, I use task by taskwarrior.org and share the backend files via dropbox for all machines, including my droid...that helps me a lot now17:30
nixternaltask is cli and is the greatest GTD app in the world!17:30
smosernixternal, the work item tracker is gtd-ish tool.  i havent adopted anything else.17:30

cjwatsonsmoser: not having a consistent set of packages - expand?17:32
smoserit would seem ideal to me if there was a snapshot point in time for all releases, rather than the kind of rolling snapshot that we end up with (as some isos have bugs found, others do not, we do not re-spin all to pick up fixes and re-test)17:32
cjwatsonoh I see, right17:32

cjwatsonI'm curious whether our art teams make use of icontol17:38
cjwatsonicontool17:38
cjwatsonand if so whether it ought to be in main?17:38
dobeyit is used by ubuntuone-client17:39
* soren has to leave in a little bit17:39
cjwatsonin the upstream release prep process or something?17:39
dobeyi'd like to get more artists using the tools and improving them as well though17:39
dobeyyes, to generate the PNG icons from the SVG17:40
cjwatsonok, then I think we should get it into main; but this is probably a side issue from your app ...17:40
dobeyi am fine with that :)17:40
cjwatson... any substantive questions?17:41
persia____dobey: You seem also active upstream for a couple of these packages.  Could you share your experiences with the Ubuntu freeze cycles and how that affects work planning?17:41
nixternali am waiting for ubuntuone to work with a) Kubuntu (this release hopefully right apachelogger?) and b) android...and having a bit more than 2GB of storage for me would be helpful, as I am up to 6GB with dropbox and invites :)17:42
cjwatsonwe probably shouldn't hold dobey responsible for commercial aspects of u117:42
dobeysure. the karmic cycle was a bit difficult as the lp milestones don't reflect the actual freeze dates, but the milestones instead17:42
nixternalhehe17:42
cjwatsonoh, that's an interesting point about milestones17:43
cjwatsonI wonder if we should change that17:43
geserdobey: as you mentioned not much experience with packaging, how complicated are the packages you want PPU upload rights and how comfortable do you feel yourself to understand with what's going on behind the scenes?17:43
nixternaldobey: are you planning on extending out from u1 in the future or are you happy with just uploading it for now?17:43
cjwatson(this is the first time I've seen that mentioned - I'm usually the one who creates the milestones since I'm typically the release team member who's still awake the day after release)17:43
dobeygeser: i have lots of experience with packaging, that was pitti's comment about debian packaging17:43
cjwatsondobey: if you could send me a mail about that as a reminder, I'd appreciate it17:44
dobeygeser: i am plenty confident though17:44
dobeycjwatson: will do17:44

CardinalFangcjohnston, I'm only joking.  I bothered him too often about uploading, while he was busy with other things.  This is a reason I'm applying.17:47
nixternalapachelogger: you better! get it done that is, you already work for apple i thought :p17:47
apachelogger!17:48
apacheloggeryou mustn't talk about this in the public17:48
cjwatsonyeah, I heard quite a bit of "we're completely reliant on Ken to get things in" from online services a while back17:48
cody-somervilleCardinalFang, Did you ask Ken to endorse your application?17:48
CardinalFangcody-somerville, I did ping him on IRC twice, but got no response.17:49
CardinalFangA process question:  I may be interested in maintaining 'python-keyring' later, which is currently in Universe and I will soon request be pulled into Main.  Do I come back here, or do something else?17:49
* cjwatson attempts to prod ken on irc17:49
cjwatsonthe former17:49
geserCardinalFang: just curious: why did you retire from DD?17:50
cjwatsonsometimes we establish something like "you have permissions for all the printing stuff" and in that case we can add packages freely, but those seem a bit too disconnected for that17:50
nixternalcuz canonical paid more silly :p17:50
cjwatsonlast I checked Canonical didn't mind us being DDs ;-)17:50
CardinalFanggeser, I was not active.  I thought it best to give up my keyring-access to upload than let it sit and be a security problem.17:50
cody-somervilleCardinalFang, Is there anybody else that you've worked with on these packages that could have endorsed your application?17:51
nixternal"I like Python and long walks on the beach" - that is just wrong on so many levels! I am willing to bet you have that on your Dating profile as well :D17:51
* cjwatson goes to hunt down diffs17:51
CardinalFangcody-somerville, Hrm.  Not recently.  I worked with james_w with some of the early source-package branch of desktopcouch, but none of that since late last year.17:52
CardinalFangAnd I'm sure it wasn't memorable for him.17:53
nixternalCardinalFang: has a lot changed in your eyes in regards to packaging since you retired from DD? if so, have you kept up with it even though you weren't doing the whole packaging thing?17:54
cjwatsonthe lack of endorsements is a bit irregular, but I've looked over the uploaded diffs and personally I'd have sponsored any of those without qualms (well, except that I'd probably have suggested the use of patch tagging; relatively minor)17:54
cjwatsonCardinalFang: desktopcouch 0.6.4-0ubuntu1 looks like it was relatively late in the release process, just before final freeze; can you go into the reasons for that?17:56
CardinalFangI didn't keep up with debhelper and some of the other tools have evolved a bit, but I'm not surprised by anything.  I especially like some of the recipes in CDBS.17:56
persia____I'm a bit more concerned about the lack of *any* comments or endorsements, given the fairly short timeframe of activity, and in comparison to decisions taken at last meeting in similar circumstances.17:56
cjwatson(not an intrinsic criticism, just interested in the reasoning)17:56
nixternalyeah, i became a cdbs junky, but the new debhelper is a bit sexy17:56

cody-somervilleI'm ready to vote.17:58
CardinalFangcjwatson, there were several bugs that I couldn't reproduce that hit something like 3% of machines.  Usually netbooks.  It was some timing/race bug, I am pretty sure, with more than one start-request of couchdb.17:58
cjwatsonah, the thread->process change?17:58
cjwatsoncertainly no fan of multithreading here ...17:59
CardinalFangOh gods, don't bring that up.  No, I refer to something else.17:59
CardinalFangI *think* that two processes would try to start couchdb at session start, and one would fail.17:59
CardinalFangIn any case, a retry fixed it.17:59
* nixternal is ready to vote18:00
CardinalFangcjwatson, I didn't look up that version, so I'm working from my memory of the late upload to desktopcouch.18:00
