[07:45] <dholbach> good morning
[08:00] <tuos> Hi! I am beginning to give some love back and picked up a quite simple bug to get it fixed: (LP: #610622). I pushed a fix-proposal to lp and posted a review request/merge proposal. According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/SeekingSponsorship , that should be pretty much it to get the sponsorship process going.
[08:01] <tuos> I set the status of the bug to "In progress" and assigned it to my self, just like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status said. However, I started to think if it was the right thing to do.
[08:02] <tuos> Code-review docs talk about setting the status to "In progress" if the patch needs still work and is done by a reviewer.
[08:03] <tuos> So the long story in short: what should be the status of the bug during a review/merge process? And should it be assigned to someone only by reviewers?
=== dholbach_ is now known as dholbach
[11:16] <nigelb> tuos: sponsoring has its own process and happens automatically
[11:16] <nigelb> tuos: the reviewers generally don't go through the sponsors list.  Someone will get to it soon :)
[11:16] <nigelb> (except for the reviewers who are also sponsors)

[15:54] <MWelchUK_work> Hey jono - haven't seen you about for a few years (I'm the daft one from LRL a few years back and Linux Expo UK with long Blonde hair...). Hows the land of the free treating you.
[15:58] <jono> hey MWelchUK_work!
[15:58] <jono> long time
[15:58] <jono> about to hop on a call, but all good?
[15:58] <MWelchUK_work> Certainly is
[15:58] <MWelchUK_work> Yup - I'll pester you some other time :-)
[16:09] <nigelb> MWelchUK_work: sorry about the other day.  I fell asleep.
[16:09] <nigelb> If something is in the sponsorship queue, it will be checked out soon enough.  I'm not sure what's the current wait time time.
[16:09] <nigelb> Generally, I poke somone I know for sponsorship.
[16:10] <MWelchUK_work> nigelb, np
[16:10] <nigelb> but that's not needed at all.  I do it only for feedback for future :)
[16:11] <MWelchUK_work> I'm afraid I'm a bit naive to the processes arround Ubuntu development - for the most part it "just works" for me as a dev host.
[16:11] <MWelchUK_work> I just gagging to move up to 10.04 (my current dev machine is 8.04)
[16:12] <nigelb> ah :))
[16:12] <MWelchUK_work> Work machine - I go from LTS to LTS. Not sure my manager would be too happy with me taking time to re-install my machine every 6 months...
[16:13] <nigelb> yeah that's what we plan to do too.  Just moved to 10.04 from windows 2000
[16:14] <MWelchUK_work> Now that's an upgrade :-)
[16:14] <nigelb> Yep.  They were planning on buying new systems.
[16:15] <nigelb> Now, just some ram and it works great.
[16:19] <candrea> Hi there! I'm looking for someone to review a quick and easy patch of mine, can somebody help me, please?

[16:24] <nigelb> candrea: I just poked mvo.  He's looking into it :)
[16:26] <nigelb> candrea: < mvo> nigelb: looks fine
[16:26] <candrea> nigelb: I poked him too some months ago, but he never replied, probably he was just busy... anyhow thanks!
[16:27] <nigelb> candrea: np :)
[16:27] <candrea> nigelb: cool. I'm not a core dev so I suppose he will merge it for me, right?
[16:28] <nigelb> you've asked for it to be branched to the software cener trunk
[16:28] <nigelb> he has to do it
[16:28] <candrea> ok
