[00:40] <Tardelo> Hola buenas tardes o noches
[00:57] <beuno> temposs, hey hey, I'm reading ahead all the candidate applications, and you don't seem to have any testimonials
[00:57] <beuno> do you happen to have any members of the community that have worked with you around?
[00:58] <temposs> hi bueno
[00:59] <temposs> hmm, I didn't do that, no
[01:01] <C3s4r> Hi all.
[01:01] <j_baer> Checking In!
[01:01] <beuno> temposs, that's fine, just wanted to give you some early warning
[01:02] <beuno> we're almost ready to start!
[01:02] <temposs> oh, it seemed like an optional bit
[01:02] <beuno> it is, it's just a big boost  :)
[01:02] <temposs> oh
[01:03] <pleia2> #startmeeting
[01:03] <MootBot> Meeting started at 19:03. The chair is pleia2.
[01:03] <MootBot> Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE]
[01:03] <pleia2> Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu Membership Review Board for the Americas meeting for August 19th The wiki page for the Review Board is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards/Americas
[01:03] <pleia2> We will attempt to get through all of the applicants that have added themselves to that list before today's meeting. If we are unable to make it through the entire list due to time constraints, then at the next meeting we will pick up where we left off.
[01:04] <pleia2> The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO).
[01:04] <pleia2> Each applicant should introduce themselves (1-5 sentences) and provide links to their Ubuntu Wiki page. After the introduction the members of the Membership Review Board will review the pages and, if needed, ask the applicant further questions.
[01:04] <pleia2> During this time it is encouraged for other members of the community to show their support for the applicant. Do not be alarmed if the members of the Membership Review Board are quiet during this time; they are most likely reading wiki/launchpad/forum/other pages and deciding how they are going to vote.
[01:04] <pleia2> When the board is ready to vote, they will publicly vote in the channel with either +1, 0, or -1 (for membership, abstain, and against membership, respectively). If the sum of those numbers is positive, then the applicant is now an official Ubuntu member! (feel free congratulate them!)
[01:05] <pleia2> Now, with any further ado, lets get started with the first applicant...
[01:05] <pleia2> [TOPIC] C3s4r membership
[01:05] <MootBot> New Topic:  C3s4r membership
[01:05] <C3s4r> Hi all
[01:05] <C3s4r> First of all, sorry for my bad writing into English.
[01:06] <C3s4r> I hope to meet the expectations for membership in the ubuntu project.
[01:06] <C3s4r> I have since 2006 supporting the project LoCoTeams Ubuntu and Ubuntu-ve since then I have been promoting a national level with the various projects I've made since then.
[01:07] <C3s4r> Since 2006 part of several organizations for the development of Free Software events nationwide (Venezuela), bringing in those oportundades to Richard Stallman, just as local events and facilities to develop OS Ubuntu.
[01:08] <C3s4r> I am currently Coordinator of the Academy of Free Software Regional Zulia, and we provided various web services, dns, mail, everything under the SO Ubuntu Server. Similarly, I have participated and still participating in the Free Software migration at national level with the current support of a presidential decree requiring all public institutions to migrate to SL in which I am leader of migration in Fundacite Zulia. http://www.fundacite-zulia.gob.ve.
[01:08] <C3s4r> My link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CesarSevilla and https://launchpad.net/~c3s4r
[01:08] <maco> C3s4r: no need to apologise for your english :)
[01:08] <pleia2> wow, tons of event work :)
[01:08] <beuno> C3s4r, si, I've seen you around more than a few times
[01:08] <beuno> I'm curious, what's been driving you to be so involved these past 5 years?
[01:08] <C3s4r> beuno, thank's
[01:10] <C3s4r> One of the things was to find the opportunity to enjoy the freedom to implement any technical changes in the OS, especially in Ubuntu.
[01:11] <beuno> C3s4r, I have one more question for you. What do you feel needs improving in Ubuntu?
[01:11] <C3s4r> Also, Ubuntu gave me a chance to meet many, many projects and above all the opportunity to apply the type of work they do as a team
[01:13] <maco> C3s4r: what took you so long to apply?
[01:13] <C3s4r> Assist in the development of free software drivers. Disseminate additional packaging methods.

[01:16] <j_baer> Hello everyone
[01:16] <pleia2> [TOPIC] j_baer membership
[01:16] <MootBot> New Topic:  j_baer membership
[01:17] <j_baer> I've been a user and contributor to ubuntu for many years.
[01:17] <maco> wait have all of today's people been using ubuntu longer than me and contributing longer too? O_o
[01:18] <j_baer> Don't  know :)
[01:18] <j_baer> My interest is in the area of usability and I am a long term member of the art team and others.
[01:19] <j_baer> A summary of activity can be seen at my wiki page. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JohnBaer
[01:20] <nhandler> Wow, lots of great themes and the countdown banners were great
[01:20] <dinda> agreed, lots of great work
[01:20] <j_baer> Current activity now is author of the Impression GTK Theme: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/impression-gtk-themes-get-radical.html
[01:21] <j_baer> and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Maverick/ImpressionGtkThemes
[01:21] <j_baer> I also blog about ubuntu here: http://www.projblog.com/
[01:22]  * nhandler would enjoy seeing those types of posts on the Planet
[01:22] <j_baer> In other activities I have also contributed to MoinMoin ... :)
[01:22] <beuno> j_baer, what drives you to contribute artwork?
[01:23] <j_baer> Bringing the best user experience is a major driver for me. IMO Ubuntu leads in this area.
[01:23] <pleia2> yeah, we're fortunate to have attracted a lot of great artists like yourself
[01:23]  * pleia2 can draw stick figures, barely
[01:24] <nhandler> j_baer: You mentioned usability, what specific area are you interested in?
[01:24] <beuno> having the same passion as you, together with all your great work, I am ready to vote  :)
[01:24] <j_baer> Well you know art is in the eyes of the beholder :)
[01:28] <nhandler> j_baer: See my question please
[01:29] <j_baer> Sorry ...  Most of my work has been with GTK and how it guides and assists users of the desktop.
[01:29] <j_baer> With the many changes at hand I am impressed by the fact folks are asking how will that work and does it add value.

[01:40] <temposs> sorry
[01:40] <temposs> haven't used X-Chat before, really
[01:41] <temposs> am I adequately identified?
[01:41] <pleia2> ok, please go ahead and introduce yourself and link to your pages, if anyone is here to give testimonals they can speak up at any time :)
[01:41] <nhandler> Yep
[01:41] <temposs> thank you
[01:42] <temposs> I have been a user an contributor to the Ubuntu community since 2006
[01:42] <temposs> *and
[01:42] <temposs> My primary focus points in my contribution have been 1) helping new users of Ubuntu
[01:43] <temposs> and 2) contributing to desktop apps that make Ubuntu more robust
[01:44] <temposs> I have more than 1000 posts on the forums, primarily in the Absolute Beginners Area
[01:44] <temposs> In that arena I have done things such as packaging a Lexmark driver for Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/LexmarkPrinters
[01:45] <beuno> temposs, has that package been uploaded to the repos?
[01:45] <temposs> (the Lexmark Z600)
[01:45] <temposs> no, I have not gotten around to that
[01:46] <nhandler> temposs: I see your wiki focuses on bugs reported and bugs fixed. Any bug triaging work?
[01:46] <maco> do you need a sponsor?
[01:46] <maco> nhandler and I can both sponsor packages
[01:46] <maco> if that's all that's stopping you
[01:47] <temposs> nhandler: I have done some bug triaging in network manager and deja-dup and wine, among others
[01:47] <nhandler> temposs: Any plans to apply to Bug Control in the future ?
[01:48] <temposs> maco: yeah, I also need to check that the package works in the current version of Ubuntu
[01:48] <temposs> maco: I don't actually have this printer...I developed it completely based on user feedback
[01:48] <maco> temposs: join #ubuntu-packaging after the meeting if you need help sorting out setting up pbuilder and such
[01:49] <beuno> temposs, any LoCo involvement?
[01:49] <nhandler> I see you are part of the IL LoCo team on LP. What part of IL are you in?
[01:49] <temposs> nhandler: I do not know what Bug Control is, but I am happy to apply to any kind of group like that
[01:49] <temposs> maco: I will do that
[01:50] <nhandler> temposs: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol They help triage bugs for Ubuntu
[01:50] <maco> temposs: Bug Control is the group that can do things like set importance or mark a bug as triaged. its a step beyond Bug Squad
[01:50]  * nhandler notes the bug squad also have a mentoring program to help train people
[01:50] <temposs> bueno: there is no LoCo around here, but I have been involved with the LuG at the university
[01:50] <nhandler> temposs: What university?
[01:50]  * nhandler is from IL
[01:50] <temposs> University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign
[01:51] <pleia2> temposs: you've done some great work over the years, but I'd really like to see you join bug control, work toward getting your package uploaded, and get some testimonials from folks you work with, really just get involved with teams and the wider community a bit more :)
[01:51] <nhandler> temposs: Ah, yeah. A bit far from the Chicago LoCo, but definitely some good Ubuntu-folks down there. Stop by #ubuntu-chicago sometime though ;)
[01:51] <dinda> temposs:  could you maybe get some more testimonials from the forums area?
[01:51] <dinda> it looks like you've done some good work over there
[01:52] <temposs> there is one person I keep in contact with who I helped significantly, but he's not online currently
[01:52] <temposs> Also, the deja-dup package I contribute to most is maintained by a Canonical employee
[01:53] <temposs> he already wrote me a letter of recommendation for Peace Corps
[01:53] <temposs> but I don't have access to that text
[01:53] <temposs> ...
[01:53] <temposs> I thought the testimonial was optional
[01:53] <dinda> temposs: it helps show your invovlement
[01:53] <temposs> and especially since I have much of my interaction with other community members/users documented on the forums and launchpad
[01:56] <dinda> temposs: there is a foaf system, friend of a friend system, that helps us understand your overall involvement. . .
[01:57] <dinda> so testimonials widen your friend circle and most likely overlap with our circles. . .
[01:57] <pleia2> temposs: testimonials don't need to come from members or anyone official, just folks who know your work on the forums, perhaps ones you've worked with on deja dup or other projects you've triaged with
[01:58] <temposs> I think this should be documented more completely in the membership instructions...
[01:58] <nhandler> Wasn't one of the pages just updated about that? /me goes to check
[01:58] <beuno> temposs, so it looks like you've contributed quite a bit to the project, great job. I think you're a few inches away from being at the right stage, but I feel you need to get involved with more of the community, teams and processes
[01:58] <temposs> what I saw is: If there are recognized members of the Ubuntu community supporting you at the meeting, this will definitely speed up the process of approving you. If your "sponsors" can't attend the relevant meeting, ask them to leave a testimonial on your wiki page about your contributions.
[01:58] <temposs> Note: They do not need to be Ubuntu Members, just a part of the community, even your local community. Testimonials in languages other than English are fine. Some members of boards are multilingual, and if not, they can use a translation tool.
[01:59] <pleia2> beuno: I agree
[01:59] <nhandler> " It is important that members demonstrate the ability to interact with others, so detailed endorsements from others are important criteria that are evaluated during your application, because they give better insight into specific parts of the community. Testimonials from members of various parts of the community are appreciated, even if they're not Ubuntu members themselves."
[02:01] <pleia2> temposs: can you gather some testimonials and perhaps work toward getting the package included and joining bug control? you're welcome to come back in a month or two and have us re-evaluate your application :)
[02:01] <maco> I'm kind of put off by you making a package and not trying to get it into the repos to benefit more users :-/  Would be nice to work more closely with the Ubuntu Dev team
[02:03] <temposs> pleia2: I can do that
[02:03] <nhandler> temposs: If you need help, please do not hesitate to ask. I know we would all be willing to help point you in the right direction
[02:03] <pleia2> temposs: great, keep up the good work, hope to see you again soon!
[02:04] <temposs> ok, thanks for the suggestions :-)
[02:04] <pleia2> ok, last call for cnd
[02:04] <maco> who's already a member anyway :P
[02:04] <pleia2> yeah, via -dev
[02:04] <pleia2> nhandler: sending an email?
[02:05] <nhandler> pleia2: Yep.
[02:05] <pleia2> ok, I think we can wrap this meeting up then!
[02:05] <pleia2> thanks for coming everyone
[02:05] <nhandler> Great meeting everyone. Congrats to the new members
[02:05] <dinda> thanks all, congrats

[16:15] <jdstrand> Short report this week.
[16:15] <jdstrand> No milestoned bugs. Blueprints are basically on track (several have been postponed throughout the cycle).
[16:15] <jdstrand> mdeslaur has uploaded to -proposed packages for security-m-tls-renegotiation-updates, our last remaining essential blueprint.
[16:15] <jdstrand> The necessary hardware recently has been made available (with the linaro kernel) for kees to continue his work on arm-m-missing-security-features.
[16:16] <jdstrand> We have one release-targeted bug: bug #545795. Got upstream feedback. I'm working on it today and should get it out certainly by early next week if not today.
[16:16] <jdstrand> that's it from me

[16:17] <ogasawara> On the bugs noted in the agenda, status is as follows:
[16:17] <ogasawara> Bug 605488 - Currently assigned to kernel dev (lag - Lee Jones).  This issue only appears to surface when the swapper is active.  Lee is still investigating.
[16:18] <ogasawara> Bug 605739 - Believed to be resolved in the latest linux-ti-omap4-2.6.34-903.7 kernel. Still waiting for verification before closing.
[16:18] <ogasawara> Bug 566645 - The patch in question is already included in the latest Maverick kernel. I've posted a comment to the bug and marked it Fix Released.  The Lucid SRU still remains open and under consideration.
[16:18] <ogasawara> Bug 369850 - Seems this was resolved in cups.  I've subsequently closed the Maverick kernel task for now and posted a comment requesting that a new bug be opened in the event any new id's need to be added to the Maverick parport_pc driver.
[16:18] <ogasawara> As a general status, we've rebased to the lastest 2.6.35.2 upstream stable kernel.  The 2.6.35.2 stable updates unfortunately brought in a noticable regression, Bug 618846.  We've since applied a fix and uploaded a new kernel, linux-2.6.35-17.23.  Also, per the Tech Board decision, we've dropped support for ia64 and sparc from the kernel.  We are above the trend line for our Beta release burndown chart but below
[16:18] <ogasawara>  the trend line overall.  The remaining Beta release work items are not release critical.
[16:19] <ogasawara> Questions?
[16:19] <cjwatson> Can https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-August/012272.html be applied for the next kernel upload?  Tim's acked it already.  I can't upload a merged grub2 without it, and that's a prerequisite for a non-prehistoric mdadm - bit of a chain.  (My apologies for not noting this problem before now, I should have done.)
[16:19] <ogasawara> cjwatson: yep, on my list todo this morning.
[16:19] <cjwatson> thanks
[16:20] <skat_> thanks ogasawara
[16:20] <skat_> any further questions?
[16:20] <cjwatson> Also, I know that JFo is going to do some more triage on the bugs induced by grub gfxpayload=keep, but it would be nice if those could get some development effort at some point for natty
[16:20] <cjwatson> I mean, in the lead-up to natty, so that we can hope to turn this on again
[16:20] <ogasawara> cjwatson: ack, will get it on our radar
[16:21] <cjwatson> much appreciated :)

[16:23] <MootBot> New Topic:  Foundations Team
[16:23] <cjwatson> hi
[16:23] <cjwatson> I've been away for three weeks and only got back on Monday.  Bear with me while I proceed to show how I have no idea what's going on.
[16:23] <cjwatson> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/ReleaseStatus/Maverick
[16:24] <cjwatson> There are various tail-ends of feature work here; the ones most likely to result in some further work are buy-something, cd-build-speed, installer-redesign, and uefi-support.
[16:24] <cjwatson> We'll probably switch grub2-boot-framebuffer back off for beta, and continue work on it out of band.  General summer holiday chaos meant that it was difficult to get it the amount of kernel support it required, and it seems at this point that it's too risky to leave it switched on.
[16:24] <cjwatson> Mostly we have a great big pile of bugs.  Summary of those listed on the agenda:
[16:24] <cjwatson> bug 441941, bug 563916, bug 601030, bug 604765, bug 613008: no updates at this time
[16:24] <cjwatson> bug 459639: will probably mitigate by switching off grub2-boot-framebuffer
[16:24] <cjwatson> bug 553745: incidence should have been greatly reduced by mountall changes, but appears to still be happening occasionally
[16:24] <cjwatson> bug 563916: awaiting response from patch submitter to review feedback
[16:24] <cjwatson> (er, duplicate there, bad editing, sorry)
[16:24] <cjwatson> bug 544139: cjwatson working on a tentative fix
[16:25] <cjwatson> bug 605042: -> Linaro
[16:25] <cjwatson> bug 600782, bug 602273, bug 604087: fixed
[16:25] <cjwatson> that's all from me - any questions?
[16:26] <skat_> thanks cjwatson...   will be digesting and follow up after.  :)
[16:26] <skat_> anyone else have questions?

[16:27] <skat_> [TOPIC] server team
[16:27] <MootBot> New Topic:  server team
[16:27] <ScottK-droid> Need to decide on updating python-numpy.
[16:27] <mathiaz> The release status for the server team can found at:
[16:27] <mathiaz> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/MaverickReleaseStatus
[16:27] <mathiaz> Some highlights from this week:
[16:27] <mathiaz>  * 10.04.1 Server released! Thanks hggdh for helping testing UEC. (mathiaz, hggdh)
[16:27] <mathiaz>  * Cloud images can now be run from kvm/libvirt. (smoser)
[16:27] <mathiaz> * puppetmaster-passenger package available to streamline the installation of a scalable and permormant puppetmaster system. (mathiaz)
[16:27] <mathiaz>  * daily vcs PPA available for memcache. (zul)
[16:28] <mathiaz>  * munin will be used instead of collectd for UEC monitoring. (SpamapS)
[16:28] <mathiaz>  * Eucalyptus 2.0 testing on maverick. (kirkland, hggdh)
[16:28] <ScottK-droid> Sorry. Slow typing on the phone. Can deal with it later.
[16:28] <mathiaz> Blockers (5):
[16:28] <mathiaz>  1. server-maverick-upstart-conversion: upstart job review from fondation: winbind bug 612958, ntp bug 604717, dhcp bug 612975
[16:28] <mathiaz> fondation?
[16:28] <mathiaz> who can help with that?
[16:29] <cjwatson> this flow of stuff has been difficult because Scott has been away a bit
[16:29] <cjwatson> I can look at them, but can't necessarily be authoritative
[16:29] <mathiaz> cjwatson: ok
[16:29] <mathiaz> cjwatson: what would be the impact of FF on these items?
[16:29] <ogra> yeah, he is greatly missed, the arm team also has some stuff we would like his input on
[16:30] <mathiaz> cjwatson: does it make sense to still accept upstart jobs now in the maverick cycle?
[16:30] <cjwatson> mathiaz: things that are leaf packages or relatively uncomplicated should be OK; I'd recommend against anything that's hard
[16:30]  * mathiaz nods
[16:30] <mathiaz>  2. server-maverick-community: awaiting feedback (who?).
[16:30] <mathiaz> I need to figure who's being chased
[16:31] <mathiaz> and follow up with them
[16:31] <mathiaz>  3. server-maverick-monitoring: waiting on eucalyptus upstream feedback on munin plugin.
[16:31] <mathiaz>  4. server-maverick-workitemtracker: Inverted burndown chart waiting for review.
[16:31] <mathiaz>  5. server-maverick-hadoop-pig: Waiting for Canonical signing Cloudera Corporate CLA.
[16:31] <mathiaz> it's in the hand of the legal team
[16:32] <mathiaz> For specs, their status is on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/MaverickReleaseStatus
[16:32] <mathiaz> Beta-milestoned bugs:
[16:33] <mathiaz> #
[16:33] <mathiaz> Bug 572317 - image-store does not support images without a ramdisk (niemeyer): might use a workaround instead, discussions ongoing
[16:33] <mathiaz> #
[16:33] <mathiaz> Bug 556763 - eucalyptus/authorized-keys/* preseeds no longer supported (Daviey) - should be a simple fix in udeb
[16:33] <mathiaz> #
[16:33] <mathiaz> Bug 610987 - euca-describe-availability-zones verbose incorrect output (Daviey) - a man(page) bug
[16:33] <mathiaz> #
[16:33] <mathiaz> Bug 599342 - Temporary failure in name resolution (hallyn) - Needing some upstart guidance.
[16:33] <mathiaz> they're all assigned

[16:34] <mathiaz>     *
[16:34] <mathiaz>       572317:image-store does not support images without a ramdisk
[16:34] <mathiaz> this is still on discussion with gustavo
[16:35] <mathiaz> and I think that's all from the server team
[16:35] <mathiaz> any questions?
[16:35] <skat_> robbiew,  who can help on getting feedback for blockers #2 & #3?
[16:35] <skat_> mathiaz,  what's the ETA on feedback from legal?
[16:35] <mathiaz> skat_: 2. - Daviey is following up
[16:36] <mathiaz> 3. - we're dealing with upstream directly
[16:36] <skat_> cool :)
[16:36] <mathiaz> skat_: nope - hopefully a couple of days
[16:36]  * robbiew sits back down
[16:36] <mathiaz> skat_: it hasn't a direct impact on the release itself
[16:36] <cjwatson> mathiaz: 556763> for the record, the change that's needed is in eucalyptus-common, not in the udeb - the point of the bug is that the udeb works fine but the facility is desired to be extended to package-based installations
[16:37] <mathiaz> skat_: it's a CLA to contribute to upstream packages and archive
[16:37] <mathiaz> cjwatson: agreed
[16:37] <skat_> mathiaz,  cool.  ok, if its not affecting release.
[16:38] <skat_> any more questions?  (will go back to ScottK's when he's back again ... )

[16:39] <seb128> Work items summary:
[16:39] <seb128> We are a bit behind on the beta trend but some of the items are documentation or bug reporting improvements which can easily be delayed. We are on track for the maverick trend
[16:39] <seb128> Week work summary:
[16:39] <seb128> - GNOME has been updated to 2.31.91
[16:39] <seb128> - we got a new unity update in
[16:39] <seb128> - our web browsers maintainer started a discussion with the tb on how we can maintain chromium in main, we deferred that to next cycle but still to be clear on what would be required for that so we are ready for UDS and next cycle
[16:39] <seb128>  
[16:39] <seb128> The status of the bugs is being updated, I'm not going to dump the list there though but the list is mostly under control
[16:39] <seb128>  
[16:39] <seb128> There are still some feature freeze exception pending, especially from the dx team and unity, I guess dbarth will give details on those
[16:39] <seb128>  
[16:39] <seb128> Worth knowing that the retracers are broken due to launchpad bug #620458 which means crash bugs don't get retraced at the moment and so we have low visibility on current crash issues in Ubuntu
[16:39] <seb128>  
[16:40] <seb128> that's it
[16:40] <seb128> questions?
[16:41] <davidbarth> seb128: FF exceptions for? appemu or indicator-me you mean?
[16:41] <seb128> davidbarth, unity gesture support
[16:41] <seb128> being one thing
[16:41] <davidbarth> seb128: oh, this one, right
[16:41] <Riddell> over at Kubuntu..
[16:41] <seb128> I think indicator-sound will still need changes and in players as well
[16:41] <Riddell>  - ubiquity KDE frontend needing more work before beta
[16:41] <Riddell>  - currently going through translations QA, some problems but nothing very unexpected
[16:41] <Riddell>  - qt4-qws needing approval by archive admin
[16:41] <Riddell>  - lucid.1 release successful
[16:41] <Riddell>  - expect to make a FFe for bluedevil to replace kbluetooth shortly
[16:43] <skat_> seb128,  where will you be updating bug status?  (for the minutes ;) )
[16:44] <skat_> Riddell, should I be calling it out as a separate topic?

[16:46] <skat_> Riddell,  there seem to be a bunch of un-triage kubuntu bugs against the release.   who should be looking into them?
[16:47] <Riddell> I need to do a first post feature freeze run through the bugs, but it'll have to wait until I'm done with ubiquity
[16:48] <skat_> ok.   Ones I spotted that looked relevant were bug #608746,  #613636, #613834...
[16:49] <skat_> thanks Riddell.

[16:53] <skat_> seb128, davidbarth - yup bad page break.
[16:53] <davidbarth> highlights of the status:
[16:53] <skat_> davidbath, will do.
[16:54] <davidbarth> appmenu is finally getting there, we're rushing to get the latest patch for the default desktop menu in
[16:54] <davidbarth> 95% complete, but with some perf. improvements and now bugs we'll have to fix next week and after
[16:55] <davidbarth> gtk: the big changes are over; there are still tons of little adjustments coming this week and next week before UIF at the theme level
[16:55] <davidbarth> Cimi and chaotic are on that in particular
[16:56] <davidbarth> the sound indicator is sealed; ronoc managed to get mprisv2 support in, depsite a last minute reshuffling of the whole API
[16:57] <davidbarth> indicator-me is late; it will require a FF exception, at least to iron out the remaining UI adjustments
[16:57] <davidbarth> unity: ok apart from the brand new MT integration, that will also require a FF exception unfortunately
[16:58] <davidbarth> questions?
[16:58] <Riddell> what's MT?
[16:58] <davidbarth> multi-touch
[16:58] <davidbarth> utouch, i should have said
[16:58] <Riddell> davidbarth: did you get the global menu kde apps on gnome issue you had diagnosed?
[16:58] <davidbarth> oubiwann's team new amazing project!
[16:59] <davidbarth> Riddell: it is fixed, yes
[16:59]  * skat_ wondering if I should feel dread now about MT..
[16:59] <davidbarth> Riddell: i've spotted icon issues this morning, but agateau was investigating why some were not fdo compliant
[16:59] <davidbarth> MT rocks!
[17:00] <skat_> :)
[17:00] <davidbarth> it's just coming late, but it's been working very well for us so far
[17:00] <Riddell> I'd expect they're just icons which aren't in the fd.o spec, it's not all that complete as a spec
[17:00] <davidbarth> right
[17:00]  * skat_ feels a little less dread ;)
[17:01] <davidbarth> other questions?

[17:06] <skat_> ogra, cool that Marvell dove support is in mainline again.
[17:06] <ogra> well, it will cause a lot of pain
[17:06] <ogra> but thats NCommander's headdache (luckily)
[17:06] <NCommander> I paid the price for it :-/

[17:08] <skat_> [TOPIC] MOTU team
[17:08] <MootBot> New Topic:  MOTU team
[17:08] <sistpoty|work> o/
[17:08] <sistpoty|work> ScottK: around?
[17:08] <robbiew> sistpoty|work: he had to leave
[17:09] <sistpoty|work> not really much news from my side, ftbfs are still worrying, and unmet deps are as well
[17:09] <robbiew> (10:33:47 AM) ScottK-droid: Need to run due to being on vacation. MOTU input is need to push on NBS and FTBFS, but no major concerns.
[17:09] <sistpoty|work> heh
[17:09] <sistpoty|work> that's it ;)
[17:09] <skat_> cool.   any questions?
[17:10] <skat_> [TOPIC] derivatives update
[17:10] <MootBot> New Topic:  derivatives update
[17:10] <skat_> anyone around to talk to Linaro?
[17:10] <JamieBennett> Hi Kate, on the Linaro front …
[17:10] <JamieBennett> Linaro Release Meeting yesterday
[17:10] <JamieBennett> [LINK] http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/WeeklyReleaseMeeting/2010-08-19
[17:10] <MootBot> LINK received:  http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/WeeklyReleaseMeeting/2010-08-19
[17:10] <JamieBennett> Two bugs to be worked on next week, bug #605042 and bug #615765
[17:11] <JamieBennett> We have a few FFe’s that are to be filed, u-boot-linaro, linaro-meta, and a GPS app yet to be determined, geoclue-skyhook was approved for FFe already
[17:11] <JamieBennett> other than that there is nothing related to the Ubuntu release to announce.
[17:11] <JamieBennett> EOF
[17:11] <skat_> thanks JamieBennett.
[17:11] <skat_> any questions?
[17:12] <skat_> [TOPIC] 10.04.2 update
[17:12] <MootBot> New Topic:  10.04.2 update
[17:12] <robbiew> I added this thinking it's good to keep the point releases in mind...early!
[17:12] <ogra> like ... really early ...
[17:12] <robbiew> heh
[17:12] <Riddell> is it scheduled?
[17:13] <skat_> robbiew,  :)  agreed.   anyone around who can talk to it?
[17:13] <robbiew> we have a "planned" release date...yes
[17:13] <robbiew> I don't think we need to say much now
[17:13] <skat_> Riddell,  planned release date 2011/1/27 per agenda...
[17:13] <skat_> Riddell,  ;)
[17:13] <robbiew> just want it there to keep it in folk's mind
[17:13] <skat_> thanks robbiew
[17:14] <skat_> Any other questions before we end meeting?
[17:14] <tgardner> robbiew, the installer folks need enough time to add the LTS backport kernel
[17:14] <pitti> not sure whether I should bring up a potentially disruptive maverick change at this point?
[17:14] <robbiew> tgardner: ack
[17:14] <sistpoty|work> pitti: referring to udev?
[17:14] <robbiew> pitti: um...yes :)
[17:14] <pitti> we currently carry some outdated modem infrastructure in maverick
[17:15] <pitti> there is a project usb-modeswitch, which has superseded our modem-modeswitch a fair while ago
[17:15] <pitti> but since neither me nor Scott had much time for udev in maverick so far, it got neglected
[17:15] <pitti> sistpoty|work: that, too
[17:16] <pitti> the modem-modeswitch -> usb-modeswitch change is not a trivial thing, and needs some testing
[17:16] <ogra> does it affect any other stuff beyond modems ?
[17:16] <pitti> well, it's for UMTS/3G cards
[17:16] <pitti> i. e. for those USB sticks and mobile phones
[17:16] <ogra> i.e. heavy udev changes that could break other stuff
[17:16] <pitti> ogra: udev itself is relatively easy, see bug 620977
[17:16] <ogra> or is it just a set of new rules
[17:16] <pitti> I went through all changes today
[17:16] <pitti> and it's blocking some updates in GNOME as well
[17:17] <pitti> but it requires changing to usb-modeswitch, which is a bigger change
[17:17] <pitti> if we do that, I'm happy to send out a call for testing and regressio reporting to u-devel, etc.
[17:17] <robbiew> pitti: I'm sure marjo's team can assist with that
[17:18] <pitti> I have an usb 3g stick which I can test, but not much else
[17:18] <pitti> my laptop has one of those gobi things, and it's broken in maverick (and not affected by mode switch in the first place)
[17:19] <robbiew> so I have a built-in 3G card from Ericsson...would that be useful to test as well?
[17:19] <pitti> robbiew: does it look like a CD-ROM
[17:19] <pitti> ?
[17:19] <pitti> I think this mainly affects USB sticks
[17:19] <robbiew> ack
[17:19] <tgardner> pitti, I though we got a gobi loader? didn't smb do that?
[17:19] <pitti> they first act like a CD-ROM and have windows drivers
[17:19] <robbiew> we do..it's in universe
[17:19] <pitti> and you need to poke it with some black magic to switch over to modem mode
[17:20] <robbiew> and /me is about to create an MIR for it
[17:20] <cjwatson> right, usb-modeswitch is relevant on the devices that present as either CD-ROM or modem but never both at the same time (i.e. the manufacturer is too cheap to include a USB hub)
[17:20] <tgardner> ah
[17:20] <pitti> tgardner: that works, but hte modem never connects for me; but different topic
[17:20] <robbiew> wasn't there some other manufactuer who's device did that...huwaei?
[17:20] <pitti> so, I'm happy to prepare the switch and test it with my Huawei 3G stick (which is affecteD)
[17:20] <robbiew> heh
[17:20] <cjwatson> it's also possible to quirk the kernel to set up those devices that way by default
[17:20] <pitti> but I want to get some consensus about switching this late
[17:20] <cjwatson> robbiew: also Option
[17:21] <pitti> the advantage of that is that we get _much_ better 3G coverage
[17:21] <pitti> modem-modeswitch is obsolete, unmaintained, and doesn't work for a lot of newer devices
[17:21] <cjwatson> I don't like the userspace modeswitch *at all*, but modem-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch are the same in that regard
[17:21] <cjwatson> might as well use the one that everyone else seems to use
[17:21] <pitti> cjwatson: ack; hack either way
[17:21] <robbiew> I think if we can get this in pre-Beta, sure
[17:21] <pitti> but at least we'll use the current hack :/
[17:22] <robbiew> then we have a better chance of getting more testing...as loads of people tend to jump on the beta
[17:22] <pitti> robbiew: I have udev packages prepared for testing, and usb-modeswitch has been in Ubuntu for ages; just needs a MIR and a dependency (or seeding)
[17:22] <robbiew> ok
[17:22] <skat_> [ACTION] Robbiew to create MIR for modem infrastructure upgrade
[17:22] <MootBot> ACTION received:  Robbiew to create MIR for modem infrastructure upgrade
[17:22] <robbiew> whoa...
[17:22] <sistpoty|work> I pretty much agree with robbiew, would be good to get it in pre beta
[17:22] <pitti> FYI, bug 521578  covers the usb-modeswitch change
[17:22] <skat_> robbiew.... heh - will delete if you tell me to. ;)
[17:23] <robbiew> I think pitti is doing the MIR...I'm doing one for another package
[17:23] <pitti> it's a dependency of bug 620977 in order to not regress
[17:23] <pitti> robbiew: ack
[17:23] <pitti> can someone else in ~ubuntu-release ack these two bugs then?
[17:23] <skat_> pitti, robbiew - will clean up actions after the meeting.  :)
[17:24] <robbiew> ack
[17:24] <skat_> anything else?
[17:25] <ogra> close it !
[17:25] <skat_> thanks all
[17:25] <pitti> skat_: yes; a warm welcome from me!
[17:25] <skat_> #endmeeting
[17:25] <MootBot> Meeting finished at 11:25.
[17:25] <ogra> skat_, yeah, good job
[17:25] <robbiew> nice work skat_
[17:25] <sistpoty|work> pitti: ack'd usb-modeswitch
[17:25] <skat_> thanks to robbiew for setting up the agenda.  :)
[17:25] <seb128> skat_, the bug status update is on the desktop team wikipage
[17:26] <skat_> seb128,  cool.  thanks
[17:27] <seb128> skat_, not sure bug #575160 should be listed as it's an universe component and assigned to a community member already so...
[17:27] <sistpoty|work> pitti: I'll take a closer look at udev once I'm home, unless someone else beats me to it ;)
[17:27] <pitti> sistpoty|work: cheers
[17:27] <skat_> seb128,  ok.  will dig a bit there.
[17:28]  * skat_ heads off to start editing minutes....   
[17:29] <marjo> skat_ thx!
[17:29] <seb128> skat_, thanks
