robbiewmvo is on holiday16:09
cjwatsondone: nearly finished with foundations-m-btrfs-support; made some progress with foundations-m-uefi-support, and just in time because I just took delivery of hardware from OEM to help test it; some big merges (grub2, initramfs-tools)16:09
cjwatsontodo: planning to nail everything that can be nailed of foundations-m-uefi-support over the next week, and then get back to seeing how to get GRUB onto the CDs16:09
barryrobbiew: mvo is unavailable <wink>16:09
cjwatson--16:10
cjwatsonKeybuk: ?16:11
KeybukStill not getting much done :-(16:11
KeybukHave managed a few package updates, and testing kernel update for them though.16:11
Keybuk~16:11
barryfoundations-m-python-versions: building out py27stack ppa; python-defaults refactoring and adding 2.7 as supported (but not yet default); rebuilt several packages; now fixing python2.7-minimal bugs.  foundations-m-python-continuous-integration: unittest2 testing, bug reporting, etc; stdeb testing, bug reporting, etc; python-mkdebian testing (not gonna work). done.16:11
psurbhifinished the following:16:12
psurbhi1) Spent some time in learning about  fstest and its usage. Spent some time debugging the device geometry that  grub uses and using the same for mkfs.btrfs for a loopback device.16:12
psurbhi2)  Following works through grub-fstest: ls, ls -lh, crc of a file. This  works for a btrfs filesystem created in a image provided the mkfs is  done  on the proper offset in accordance with fdisk -ul and then  subsequently, -o offset is used for mount16:12
psurbhi3) Need to test this  thoroughly. desperately needs caching.16:12
psurbhi4) Need to test cp and hex  (and other fs-test commands) and add caching support16:12
psurbhi..16:12
psurbhi<done>16:12
dokook, mvo in vacation16:13
dokoI don't see outstanding items from last meeting16:13
dokoskipping feature freeze exceptions16:14
* ev feels left out - has my IRC bouncer been connected to this channel and I've just missed a bunch of messages?16:14
Keybukev: clearly you're using the wrong bouncer16:14
evI'm using the same one as you!16:15
cjwatsonev: looks like doko prodded you before you /joined16:15
cjwatson16:05 <doko> ev ?16:15
cjwatson...16:15
cjwatson16:08 -!- ev [~ev@ubuntu/member/evand] has joined #ubuntu-meeting16:15
dokoev: go ahead with the lighning, didn't see you join16:15
evah16:15
evworking on running two debconfcommunicators in parallel, started hacking together a server based on geonames (type some random town and get a timezone back), reviewed the design specification and added more notes for michael, chatted with michael over some of them, began implementation of some of the functionality and started a conversation with legal about the installing ubuntu-restricted-extras bit.16:15
ev--16:15
dokoare there any other specs which need to be finalized/approved until tomorrow?16:16
barrydoko: i have not heard anything definitive back from ubuntu-releases, re: py2716:16
cjwatsonubuntu-release is pretty undermanned at the moment16:17
robbiewis this the discussion about making 2.7 default for 10.10?16:17
barrycjwatson: ah16:17
barryrobbiew: yes16:17
evseems like there are quite a few in https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu?searchtext=foundations-m-16:17
dokoyes, motu/ScottK doesn't like the idea16:17
barryi know.  he favors supported but not default16:18
cjwatsonKeybuk: no upstart specs yet, I guess?16:18
barrywhich is not as mavericky as i'd like, but his reasoning is sound and i could support that approach16:18
cjwatsonI do have the code to get them into the WI tracker (more or less), just need test cases for it :-)16:18
dokobarry: I'll try to ping him, maybe we can find the time to chat together late tonight16:20
cjwatsonof the foundations-m- ones, the ones that jump out as possible maverick candidates are foundations-m-usb-creator-bugfixer and foundations-m-software-center-backend?16:20
Keybukcjwatson: it's one of the things I appear to be unable to do, yes16:21
cjwatsonI don't know either of those well so maybe they're inappropriate16:21
barrydoko: +116:21
* cjwatson fedexes Keybuk some davidm-strength coffee16:21
Keybukcoffee wouldn't help, some prozac maybe? :p16:22
evwhoops, missed that - usb-creator-bugfixer is now proposed for maverick16:22
cjwatsonugh16:22
cjwatsonev: and accepted16:22
evcjwatson: cheers16:22
cjwatsonKeybuk: let me know if you need assistance of the potted-plant variety16:23
Keybukpotted plant?16:23
cjwatsonsomething inanimate to talk at16:23
robbiewKeybuk: speaking of FedEx...what's up with those Dell Minis :)16:23
Keybukahh16:23
dokook, any other spec business?16:23
Keybukrobbiew: yet another thing I haven't done, sorry16:23
robbiewmoving on?16:26
dokoalpha2 bugs: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+bugs?field.milestone:list=2756016:27
cjwatsonI only saw two for us there, the silly version bugs16:27
cjwatsonDylan's aware of the slideshow one, it'll be done as part of a more general update I think16:27
cjwatsonKeybuk: is it OK to just do the obvious 10.04 -> 10.10 change in plymouth, or do you want to do something more complete than that?16:28
cjwatsonlike lsb_release at build time or something16:28
Keybukcjwatson: go ahead, I don't have any plymouth-related plans this cycle16:28
dokoand maybe one MIR. looking at this one16:28
cjwatsonKeybuk: ok16:28
dokocjwatson: I might pester you with an archive rebuild (main) withe the CS GCC next week (and maybe a request trying to build a CD image)16:29
cjwatsonnp16:29

cjwatsonI did a rather measly one today16:32
dholbachthanks doko :)16:32
dokohonestly, I don't know how to interpret the table now in the meeting. just looking at the "last commenters" isn't enough16:33
cjwatson"last commenters" is a weird column because what I find I need to do with it is to *skip* the rows with names I recognise16:34
barryif we do not have upload privs, is there anything we can still do with sponsoring?16:34
cjwatsonnot a lot, realistically16:35
barrycjwatson: what do the bold and italics mean in last comment column?16:35
cjwatsonthere's a key at the bottoom16:35
cjwatson*bottom16:35
* barry scrolls16:36
barryah, thanks16:36
cjwatsonanyway, not much more to discuss here, I think we should move on?16:36
robbiewyes16:37
dokodon't see any business from activity reports16:38
dokogood news / bad news ?16:38
* robbiew was able to get approval for another headcount :)16:39
barryyay!16:39
evhooray16:39
dokoso how many are now pending?16:40
evis it the secretary I've been clamoring for since I joined?16:40
robbiewheh16:40
robbiewdoko: what do you mean by pending?16:40
robbiewwe have one opening now16:41
Keybukev: you don't need a secretary if you work from the office, you can have the design team do things for you16:41
evhaha, somehow I doubt they'll fetch me coffee from Starbucks16:42
dokorobbiew: how many heads do we expect? one or more?16:42
dokoanyway, AOB?16:42
Keybukev: I don't even know where there is a Starbucks anywhere near Millbank16:42
robbiewdoko: ah..expect one16:42
evKeybuk: vauxhall16:42
* robbiew played with burg this week...pretty cool16:43
cjwatsondamnit, shiny new test hardware requires US->UK converter and I don't have one16:43
Keybukrobbiew: burg?16:43
Keybukcjwatson: converter or plug?16:43
* barry just saw a very close and very loud lightning strike16:43
robbiewBURG stands for Brand-new Universal loadeR from GRUB.16:43
cjwatsonwell, either, but the end for my own laptop doesn't fit the brick16:43
robbiewKeybuk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Burg16:43
robbiewhas some REALLY nice graphics support16:43
cjwatsonthankfully, mostly obsoleted by grub2 ;-)16:44
cjwatsonjust need to put the themes together16:44
robbiewyeah16:44
robbiewif we could get the themes down...it would rock16:44
robbiewhttp://code.google.com/p/burg/wiki/Screenshots16:44
MootBotLINK received:  http://code.google.com/p/burg/wiki/Screenshots16:44
cjwatsonyup, will likely be working on at least some of that as part of foundations-m-cd-boot16:44
robbiewthe burg themes are slick16:45
robbiewcjwatson: cool16:45
evwow, lets go with that first one and switch the desktop environment to twm16:45
cjwatsonthere are a few basic widgets we don't have yet, some debate as to the best way to represent them so that things still work well with things like serial consoles16:45
robbiewyeah...i figured there were corner cases not considered with it16:46
barryev: twm ftw!  (who remembers wool?)16:46
robbiewthe overall effect is very clean...with the subtle animations as you scroll though the OSes16:46
robbiewanyway...that's all I had16:47
evbarry: wool?16:47
robbiewoh...and we are close to naming a release manager16:47
evyay16:47
robbiewdown to 2 candidates16:47
robbiew"yay" indeed16:47
cjwatsonrobbiew: wanna help design grub2 themes for the package?  there's only one person doing grub2 theming work at the moment (directhex)16:47
Keybukrobbiew: did they not have a name before they applied?16:47
barryev: well, actually gwm.  wool was the lisp dialect that the wm ran16:48
evcjwatson: otto?16:48
robbiewcjwatson: hmm...I'll take a look at it, sure16:48
robbiewKeybuk: /very/ funny16:48
dokook, are we funished?16:48
robbiewev: yeah..that makes more sense16:48
cjwatsonev: directhex => jo shields16:48
cjwatsonev: or are you saying otto has been doing some?16:48
cjwatsonif so he hasn't told anyone :-)16:49
evrobbiew: well that's not to say he has time to do it16:49
robbiewsure16:49
evcjwatson: no, not at all16:49
evI just figured it was his realm more than anyone else's16:49
robbiewbut probably not worth waisting time on designing themes we know won't get used16:49
robbiewheh16:49
cjwatsonah, right.  I don't think it needs to bump out other design team things at the moment16:49
evbut I am fully aware that getting some of his time is not the easiest task on the planet16:49
robbiewanyway...I'll take a stab at it16:49
robbiewI got a lot more time on my hands these days16:49
robbiew;)16:49
* cjwatson ponders an lplib script to reassign all his bugs to robbiew16:50
robbiewheh16:50
evbarry: ah, unfamiliar with that.  I was only just getting started when I used twm.16:50
dokonext chair?16:51
barryev: teh googles says the last update to its web page was mid 90's ;)16:51
evhahaha, awesome16:51
cjwatsondoko: rule from last meeting would make it you again ;-)16:51
cjwatsonso I guess obvious sanity check means we use the second from the shuffle list in that case, i.e. me16:51
KeybukI used to like olvwm16:52
evare we playing roulette with the chair now as well?16:52
dokocjwatson: ok ... :-/16:52
