rlameiroscott-work: ping14:36
scott-workhi rlameiro :)  how are you?14:50
rlameiroscott-work: i am fine, and you?14:55
rlameiroscott-work: Sorry for the absence. About the UBS controls, it seams to me that this tool is comming to a no need stage14:56
rlameiroat least for the things i saw on the mailing list14:56
quadrisproscott-work, hi! can you do some testing on a maverick's package?15:52
scott-workquadrispro: certainly15:57
scott-workrlameiro: i am fine as well15:57
quadrisproscott-work, please install lives15:58
scott-workrlameiro: big changes afoot for natty:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/ReleasePlanning15:58
scott-workquadrispro: from the archives?15:58
quadrisproyep15:58
quadrisproand let me know what happens15:58
scott-workquadrispro: i shall do it tonight, anything in particular to look for?15:58
quadrisproscott-work, it should crash15:59
scott-workquadrispro: LOL, yeah, that's something pretty distinct and noticeable ;)15:59
quadrisproeasy to notice :)16:00
quadrisproscott-work, what great guy is lives' upstream: seems already fixed in trunk :)16:10
scott-workquadrispro: wow, that is super16:24
scott-workquadrispro: i had given thought to including lives as a video editor because of it's jack capabilities16:25
scott-workquadrispro: but i dont' really know how well it functions, how easy it's UI is, etc16:25
scott-workquadrispro: and to be honest, it sounds neat, but really how functionally relevant is a jack enabled NLE compared to a traditional NLE ?16:26
astraljavascott-work: Yay! Placed a DSL order yesterday (or actually, wife did :o ) so will have better connectivity and thus much more likely participation in the near future!16:28
quadrisproscott-work, basically it's designed to be simple, so it provides a an easy and friendly GUI16:32
quadrisproscott-work, but the great point is that it mixes NLE capabilities with vj-ing features16:33
rlameiroscott-work: it looks very nice16:34
rlameiroscott-work: I was thinking also in changing the menus, maybe makind diferent sections for audio apps, instead of having that neverending menu :D16:35
scott-workquadrispro: hmmm, i didn't think about vj-ing features :)16:35
scott-workrlameiro:  that is something that has been putted around several times16:35
scott-workrlameiro: the menu restructure16:35
rlameiroi dont know what you think16:36
quadrisproscott-work, take a look at the features page -> http://lives.sourceforge.net/index.php?do=features16:36
rlameirobut at least split midi from audio 16:36
scott-workrlameiro: although if we separate the audio apps into two distinct packages, i would expect most users would only install one of them and the menu would be more presentable16:36
rlameirono packages16:36
scott-workbut that doesn't mean that we still shouldn't consider moderating the menu still16:36
rlameirojust on the menu16:36
scott-workrlameiro: even if we change the menu i would still consider dividing the audio into two packages, i strongly believe that most users do not want both sets (tone generation vs live) of packages16:39
scott-workrlameiro: also, many new pd packages are going into debian lately....a lot16:39
rlameiroyes, they are finally implementing the pd extended kind of thing on debian!!!1 at last :D16:40
rlameiroscott-work: i think maybe it should be made 3 packages.16:40
rlameiroscott-work: Live - Sound Generation - Audio Programming16:41
rlameiroAudio programming having :16:41
scott-workrlameiro: is there enough for the audio programming ?  in the archives i mean?16:41
scott-workheh, you're already answering :)16:41
rlameiroSuper collider, Pd, Csound, Clam, Faust etc16:41
rlameiroand other nice tools for analisys like sonic visualizer16:42
rlameirohttp://www.sonicvisualiser.org/16:42
scott-workis chuck in the archives ?16:42
rlameiromaybe16:42
rlameiroThis will undoubtly get into the "academia" user base :D16:43
scott-workthis would certainly make an arguement for another submenu then16:43
rlameiroi think super collider is not in there16:44
rlameirowell, you can make a "OEM" install for UNI composition and Acoustics departement :D16:44
rlameirothat is for sure16:44
scott-worki wonder why supercollider isn't there...i wonder if this is one of the applications that has licensing issues?16:45
rlameirohttps://launchpad.net/~supercollider/+archive/ppa16:45
scott-workthere was a package in dapper :P16:46
rlameiroscott-work: from the SC website "SuperCollider is free software (published under the GPLv2 free software license)."16:46
scott-workbut i guess it is one of those (like linux sampler) that has licensing issues16:46
scott-workholstein and i talked about making a wiki page where we list the reasons packages are included (over others) and reasons packages are not included16:46
rlameiromaybe it will be my first debian package16:46
rlameirolol16:46
holsteinrlameiro: hey :)16:47
scott-workrlameiro: but even though supercollider is gplv2 some of the packages it uses might not be16:47
rlameiroI am also thinking if we all try to make the packages for debian instead16:47
scott-workrlameiro: yes, we have been working with quadrispro quite a bit to focus in this direction16:47
rlameiroand then it will downstream16:47
holsteinyeah, just a place of reference, so when the questions come up, thats where the answers are well documented16:47
rlameiroholstein: yo!!16:47
scott-workrlameiro: he's gotten a lot of lv2 stuff pacakged in debian (and then synced to ubuntu) :)16:48
holstein'why dont we have network manager?'16:48
holstein'wheres the RT kernel?'16:48
rlameirolol the historic question16:48
holsteinthat kind of thing16:48
holstein+ the package decisions being made16:48
rlameiroholstein / scott-work it looks like very helpfull. is it going to be FAQ like?16:49
scott-workrlameiro: good question16:50
holsteinhey16:50
holsteinthats a good idea16:50
holsteinhell, its a wiki16:50
scott-worki've thought about FAQ or a matrix, but i kinda wanted to tie things together also with the changes being made with packages due to the workflows16:50
holsteincould be arranged however16:50
rlameirosomething like16:50
holsteinand change i suppose16:50
scott-workso i'm leaning towards a matrix for the majority of it16:50
rlameiroQ: Why doesnt UBS have this XXXXX package?16:51
scott-workbut probably some of the important ones (e.g. network manager, -rt kernel) should be in a faq16:51
rlameiroA: because bla bla bla16:51
rlameiroa FAQ would work for the more "macro" discussions16:51
scott-workyou know, this is kinda excititng, it seems like studio has a small group of engaged people who are motived to get things done :)16:55
scott-workwe have a good chance to make some significant strides16:55
rlameiroscott-work: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/494249/16:55
rlameirothis are the dependencies of super collider16:55
rlameiroit seems very GPL Friendly :D16:55
rlameiroand debian friendly16:56
scott-workit certainly appears so, but until you read each file of the package you don't really know, i found this out trying to get zynjacku into ubuntu :P16:56
scott-workquadrispro: do you remember if there is a reason that supercollider is not in debian ?16:57
holsteinmaybe a mix16:57
holsteinq&a and a list16:57
quadrisproscott-work, uh? no :/16:57
quadrisprosee you later16:58
quadrisprobye!16:58
scott-workrlameiro: well, there you go, maybe no reason at all LOL16:58
rlameirohe he17:01
