cprofitt[TOPIC] UDS-N Blueprints and Notes00:03
MootBotNew Topic:  UDS-N Blueprints and Notes00:03
cprofittduaneipho and I were both at UDS along with Darkwingduck00:03
cprofittthere were several things that came up in regards to the beginners team00:04
cprofittthe following were specs00:04

cprofittI know you will not all have time to read these, but these are the ideas that the council has been working on00:05
cprofittand the reason for some of the changes that will be discussed tonight00:05
cprofittthere were also some other blueprints that the BT is part of, but are not the lead team on.00:06
cprofittThe 'core' summary is that there is a desire from the community leaders and some other teams to utilize the BT as an on-ramp for people to become involved in the community00:06
cprofittJono Bacon spent an entire session at UDS-N on Thursday discussing the BT and what the team has accomplished00:07
cprofitthe kept saying "great work"00:07
cprofittso you all should feel very proud of what the team (you) have accopmplished00:07
nhandlerYep. Great work everyone.00:07
duaneipho+100:07
phillw+100:08
cprofittthe overall goal is to align ourselves a little tighter with existing Ubuntu teams00:08
cprofittthis is expressed in how we are re-defining the Focus Groups00:08
cprofittmembership process and mentor approval process00:08
cprofittYou may have noticed significant changes to our Wiki as we prepared for this meeting00:09

cprofittin addition the header was tweaked and the colors changed slightly00:10
nhandler(and lots of emails if you subscribe to BeginnersTeam/.*)00:10
cprofittthe basic part of the change is that, in general, the BT FGs will be aligned with an associated Ubuntu team00:11
cprofittbugs-FG = Bug Control, Testing, and QA00:11
cprofittat some point if there is enough interest in one of those sub-topics and the necessary 'mentors' we would form another FG00:12
cprofittbut that team is an example of how we try to align with existing team(s)00:12
cprofittdoes anyone have any questions about that part of FGs?00:12
nhandlerNope00:13
cprofittok...00:13
cprofitt[TOPIC] Membership00:13
MootBotNew Topic:  Membership00:13
cprofittWe also needed to really nail down membership00:13
phillwin what way?00:14
cprofittat present members are those people who have demonstrated that they are knowledgable in an area of the Ubuntu project00:14
cprofittthat could be development or advocacy00:14
cprofittthey will also have proven that they are mature individuals who work well with others and are dedicated to giving something back to the community and beginners00:15
cprofittthey do not need to be experts00:15
cprofittjust knowledgeable00:15
cprofittany questions there?00:15
phillwNope00:15
PabloRubianesno00:15
friTTe|no00:15
cprofittThe process is also detailed on the Join Us Page00:16
cprofitt[link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Membership00:16
MootBotLINK received:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Membership00:16
cprofittI hope that this is very clear to prospective members00:16
cprofittThere are two membership cases...00:16
cprofittan Ubuntu user that is knowledgeable, but has not contrinbuted to the Ubuntu Project before00:17
cprofittand an Ubuntu user who has contrinbuted before to other teams, but now wants to help mentor people00:17
cprofittIn the first case the person will have to prove they have made contributions and are knoweldgeable00:17
cprofittthis might take 1 month or 12 months (long long time)00:18
cprofittwe do not rush the process00:18
cprofittthe second case would be a special case00:18
cprofittsuch as Carlos (hgghd)00:18
cprofittwho is a long standing member of bug-control, testing and QA00:18
cprofittin those cases these people will have a body of work that can be judged00:19
cprofittand a history of working with the community that can also be looked at00:19
cprofittin either case we have two choices00:19
cprofitt1)  wait until an official team meeting to vote on the new members00:19
cprofittor00:19
cprofitt2) have the council vote on the members with input live, wiki and email based on each prospecitve member00:20
phillw+1 for 2)00:20
PabloRubianes+1 for 100:20
cprofittI would like to have the team vote on that idea the next time after we discuss it on the mailing list00:20
cprofittI see positives and negatives for both00:20
cprofittand think we should all think on it00:21
cprofittany questions on membership?00:21
cprofitt[topic] Mentors00:21
MootBotNew Topic:  Mentors00:21
nhandlerI just wanted to note that even for experienced people, we still want to make sure they are integrated well with the team00:22
cprofitt+1 nhandler00:22
PabloRubianesgood00:22
PabloRubianesI thing00:22
phillw+100:22
friTTe|yeah00:22
PabloRubianesOne thing sorry?00:22
UndiFineD+1 for 100:22
cprofittAt UDS we received a couple of comments about some of our mentors not being 'knwoledgeable' in certain areas00:23
cprofittPabloRubianes: go ahead00:23
PabloRubianespeople who don't know and never contribute to the Ubuntu project... are going to be integrated till are electable right?00:23
cprofittPabloRubianes: yes -- they will be prospective members that we work with00:23
PabloRubianesgood00:24
cprofittwe will work as long as they keep trying00:24
cprofittwork with them00:24
PabloRubianesI think that should be clear for thouse people to make them work hard00:24
* cprofitt nods00:24
cprofittok... back to mentors00:24
phillwagrees00:24
cprofittwe had some comments that are mentors were not knowledgeable00:24
cprofittthe incidents were isolated, but we agreed that we should have a tighter control on 'mentors'00:25
cprofitt[link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Mentors00:25
MootBotLINK received:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Mentors00:25
cprofittyou will notice a few things in the mentors page00:25
cprofittthere are now rows with time zones00:25
cprofittI would appreciate folks modifying their entry to fit their time zone00:26
pleia2that's great00:26
cprofittalso there is a column for Focus Group / Qualifications00:26
cprofittif you have no qualification area -- you are a general mentor00:26
cprofittand you can help people join the BT00:26
cprofittwe all know how that works :-)00:27
nhandlerLooks like the time zone column is messed up00:27
cprofittif, you want to be a bug-FG mentor, you would need to get some testimonials from the bug-control team or another associated team00:27
jledbetterI think the time zones are subheader rows nhandler00:27
cprofitttime zones are rows that cover the entire table00:28
nhandlerWell, we should probably make it a bit more clear that they are headers, but we can fix that later ;)00:28
cprofittto become a bug-control FG mentor you would apply to the council00:29
duaneiphosorry for the flacky connection. what page we talking about?00:29
cprofittyou would get either the associated team lead to give you a testimonial or two other associated team members00:29
friTTe|duaneipho: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Mentors00:29
duaneiphothank you00:30
cprofittthe council would then vote to approve you or work further with you to improve your level of knowledge00:30
phillwcprofitt: as PhilBull has made me a wiki administrator, can I add wiki to my area?00:30
cprofittNo.00:30
cprofittyou would apply to the doc-FG to be a mentor00:30
phillwokies00:30
cprofittyou would have PhilBull add a testimonial to your page00:30
cprofittthe council would then talk with you and make a decision00:31
phillwcprofitt: it's already there :)00:31
cprofittit is not always enough to be made a member of a team00:31
phillwnp00:31
cprofittwe need to ensure that the associated team feels you have enough knowledge to 'teach' and the BT council wants to ensure your temperment is suitable to teaching as well00:32
cprofittbeing a mentor can be trying at times00:32
cprofittso it is not knowledge alone that makes a mentor00:32
phillw+1 :)00:32
cprofittany questions on mentors?00:32
cprofittok00:33
cprofitt[topic] changing the wiki to fit the new theme00:33
MootBotNew Topic:  changing the wiki to fit the new theme00:33
cprofittduaneipho: you have the floor00:34
duaneiphoI have think we have done a pretty good job of that00:34
duaneiphohas everyone tried the page out with the new theme?00:35
nhandlerMy only concern is that the theme might look ok in the light theme, but right now, it looks rather "bad" in the kubuntu theme00:35
PabloRubianesyes00:35
cprofittI wish there was a way to have two different wiki codes for each theme00:35
duaneiphonhandler we might consider looking at the all white menus00:35
cprofittbut for now that is an issue00:35
nhandlerduaneipho: I think that might be nice.00:36
cprofittwe can certainly keep trying to work on it00:36
duaneiphonot as neat as what we have but more theme agnostic00:36
cprofittright now our menus are grey00:36
cprofittand the side is grey00:36
cprofitt[ACTION] cprofitt and duaneipho will create a test header page for different color combos to be tested00:37
MootBotACTION received:  cprofitt and duaneipho will create a test header page for different color combos to be tested00:37
nhandlercprofitt: They have definitely gotten better (than what they were the other day), but the purple and orange don't go well with the blue00:37
duaneiphoI agree00:37
cprofittany more on the theme -- or just a desire to try and make them better?00:38
cprofittok00:38

JamesHuntfirehose is still squirting: having fun reading through wiki.{canonical|ubuntu}.com, starting to get to grips with upstart (lots of reading + playing), wrote up plumbers report, expenses, investigating debootstrap/armel/natty issue for colin/ogra, (I feel like I've read half the web! :), started to look at how to compare bootchart[12] in upstream/ubuntu/debian.16:13
robbiewbarry: he's designing apis to make sign making more uniform :P16:13
JamesHuntTODO: - meet up with Scott on Friday. Finish reading the web,debootstrap issue, bootchart.16:13

robbiewI'm out that week..so the 19th is what I want folks to shoot for16:16
robbiewI don't think there's much for us to do, as most of our work is maverick carry-over16:17
robbiew\o/16:17
cjwatsongotcha, seems fair16:17
robbiewwhich is nice for a change16:17

robbiew[TOPIC] Sponsorship Queue16:19
MootBotNew Topic:  Sponsorship Queue16:19
robbiewsorry..too many conversations16:20
ScottKEveryone PM robbiew on the count of three ....16:21
robbiewheh16:21
robbiewI can ignore quite easily ;)16:21
mvo_ /ignore *16:21
robbiewso https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess has been updated16:21
robbiewas well as https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/CodeReviews16:22
mvo_with the new idea around having a specific sponsoring day that will probably become shorter and shorter16:22
cjwatsonaha, we even have a schedule16:22
cjwatsonneat16:23
mvo_now someone needs to write a script/bot that adds it to my calendar or mails me in the morning about it :)16:23
robbiewthe relevant email can be found here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/529430/16:23
robbiewNote the last bullet: * I'd like to start with the first patch pilot on Monday the 22nd.16:24
cjwatsonso that'll be week 4?16:24
robbiewI think so16:24
cjwatsonor week 1?16:24
robbiewheh16:24
robbiewgood point...ask dholbach16:24
robbiew:)16:24
barryright.  i'm on for week1/day1, but when is "week1"?16:25
dholbachif you find a better way of putting the schedule, I'm all ears16:25
dholbachI was thinking of week1 of the month16:25
robbiewlet's use summit :)16:25
robbiewlol16:25
mvo_dholbach will just write a django app for it ;)16:26
dholbachmvo_, I won't :)16:26
* mvo_ hugs dholbach16:26
cjwatsonso there'll be a few dead days at the end of some months?16:26
dholbachdoes anybody have a good proposal for fixing this? in the end I ran out of platform team members :)16:27
barrybtw, i can only do reviews (no uploads) so someone with upload rights will still have to come along behind and push the button16:27
ScottKdholbach: Community team should fill in at the end.16:27
robbiewbarry: we need to get that fixed ;)16:27
barryrobbiew: working on it!16:27
robbiewScottK: I like that idea16:27
* ScottK thought you might.16:28
cjwatsonrobbiew should fill in at the end. :)16:28
robbiewlol16:28
robbiewyeah...you don't want that16:28
robbiewtrust me16:28
dholbachScottK, do you mean the Canonical Community team? in that case: all ubuntu-dev members of it are on the schedule already16:28
cjwatsonI think ScottK is trolling you16:28
robbiewlol16:28
ScottKdholbach: I did.  Of course not all the people on the schedule are ubuntu-dev.16:28
robbiewin terms of Canonical developers...they should be, and if not, should be working towards it ;)16:29
dholbachScottK, they are16:29
ScottKAh.  Forgot some of them have PPU, so they are ubuntu-dev.16:29
dholbachyep16:29
* ScottK still thinks jcastro could do it.16:30
robbiewanyway....I want to reinforce that sponsoring is IMPORTANT...not secondary to feature work or bug fixing16:30
barryi think we should encourage folks to jump in and do reviews16:30
dholbachbarry, totally16:30
dholbachI added some docs to UbuntuDevelopment/CodeReviews to explain how it works16:31
barrydholbach: awesome.  i'll read that over today16:31
dholbachgracias!16:31
highvoltagerobbiew: +1 :)16:31

robbiew[TOPIC] AOB/Good News?16:32
MootBotNew Topic:  AOB/Good News?16:32
barrycjwatson: can you kickoff no-change rebuilds of python-apt, gnome-python, dbus-python to pick up py27?  that plus the change mvo just merged should make update-manager work on natty again.16:32
robbiewJamesHunt: AOB = Any Other Business16:32
ScottKbarry: I was just about to ask about where we were on rebuilds.16:33
mvo_barry: I'm happy to do python-apt and update-manager (and the other two if cjwatson is busy). I don't think we have auto no-change rebuilds16:33
mvo_or do we now?16:33
ScottKmvo_: It's automatic to barry if cjwatson does it when he asks.16:33
barry;)16:33
barrymvo_: thanks16:34
mvo_heh :)16:34
barryi thought cjwatson had a script16:34
cjwatsonnope16:35
ScottKbarry: Would you be available to help out with getting python-qt4 and related packages working with Python3?  There's upstream support.  It's ~dh_python3 integration.16:35
cjwatsonI'll do gnome-python and dbus-python, and mvo can do python-apt16:35
barryScottK: fwiw, i'm building up packages again in ppa:pythoneers/py27stack4 (for main), but lp has a bug that is making managing that ppa difficult atm16:35
mvo_oki16:35
barrycjwatson, mvo_ awesome thanks.  please let me know if there is anything i can do to make this easier, or some other process i should follow16:36
cjwatsonbarry: the thing I have a script for is for retrying something that failed to build - otherwise it's literally "bump changelog, make new upload"16:36
barryScottK: i can give it a shot. maybe later in the week?16:36
ScottKbarry: Sure.  Please join in #kubuntu-devel when you're ready.16:36
barrycjwatson: ah, right, gotcha.16:36
robbiewokay...any REAL AOB or Good News?16:37
robbiew:)16:37
ScottKrobbiew: Python2.7 is going pretty smoothly so far.16:37
cjwatsonlibpipeline's now in unstable+natty, for those who caught my lightning talk16:37
barryrobbiew: wade phillips? :)16:37
ScottK(there's good news)16:37
robbiewScottK: \o/16:37
robbiewbarry: lol16:37
cjwatsonfeedback welcome!16:37
* ScottK is this: --><-- close to being able to ask for boost1.40 removal.16:38
barrycjwatson: nice!  great talk, cool library16:38
* robbiew can feel the love!16:38
barryScottK: once we get a few core packages rebuilt for py27, i think we're going to be in much better shape (i.e. close lots of bugs in one fell swoop)16:39
JamesHuntcjwatson: gr8! I wonder if we could audit packages to determine a list of potential customers? :)16:39
cjwatsonthe security team certainly perked up, so I wonder if kees already has some audit scripts that could be repurposed16:39
robbiewokay...calling it16:41

highvoltageboo.19:00
alkisgHi all19:00
mhall119here!19:00
highvoltagehi, alkisg19:00
* stgraber waves19:00
highvoltageagenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Meetings/Agenda as usual19:00
highvoltagestgraber: ah, pleasantly surprised to see you made it!19:01
stgraberI'm in the middle of another meeting, but yeah I'm here ;)19:01
highvoltageroadmap with progressy stuff here:19:01
highvoltagehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Devel/RoadMap19:01
highvoltagestgraber told me this morning that we might have edubuntu daily builds again tomorrow19:02
charlie-tcahm, today's desktop build failed to install19:02
highvoltageso edubuntu natty is pretty much on it's way to being in full swing development19:02
highvoltagecharlie-tca: the edubuntu build failed to build even :)19:03
charlie-tcayup19:03
charlie-tcaHoping for good builds tomorrow19:03
highvoltage*nod*19:03
mgariepyi'm here too :)19:03
highvoltagestgraber, alkisg, mhall119, mgariepy: anything else you'd like to add to the agenda for today?19:03
mhall119not me, I haven't had a chance to do any edubuntu or qimo work since UDS19:04
mhall119have the daily's been refreshed from debian now?19:04
highvoltageI'd like to talk about our icon theme, we currently use Breathe, which is great because it is Human-like and colourful without being too horrible. It's biggest problem though is that it's panel icons aren't that ubuntuy anymore19:05
mhall119you mean they don't have mono-color icons?19:05
highvoltagemhall119: well, the archives are sync from debian, dailys are built from the ubuntu archives19:06
highvoltagemhall119: indeed.19:06
mgariepynothing to add19:06
highvoltageI considered getting involved with the Breathe project to add mono icons using breathe as a fallback theme, but there's a bunch of other updates we'd probably have to do too19:07
highvoltagewell, have to do. like icons that contain old ubuntu (brown) theming and relics19:07
highvoltagebut I've been using Faenza on my netbook for a while and I quite like it, I think it might be suitable for Edubuntu too19:07
highvoltagehttp://tiheum.deviantart.com/art/Faenza-Icons-17332322819:07
mhall119any reason to use a different icon theme than Ubuntu?19:08
highvoltageI like the squary-rounded icons, and if it was just up to me I'd say we could give it a try19:08
highvoltagemhall119: our biggest reason so far has been that the ubuntu default icons have been a bit too 'bland' or corporate, and that we want something a bit more exciting19:09
highvoltagesticking to ubuntu defaults would be easier and less work though19:09
* charlie-tca wants to say Xubuntu is looking at Faenza also19:10
mhall119who's getting Faenza into the archives?19:10
* alkisg switches to ubuntu defaults in edubuntu installations...19:10
highvoltagecharlie-tca: yay, so you can get it in the archives then ;)19:10
charlie-tcayup19:10
charlie-tcathere is a ppa already, so it should not be hard19:10
highvoltageI've used the ppa before but haven't looked at the packages in detail yet.19:11
charlie-tcaI have been running them for about a month now. they look good19:12
highvoltageI wonder if we should stick to the ubuntu default and just include icon themes in the installation that users might want to use?19:12
highvoltagehmm, faenza would add around 10MB to the iso19:14
highvoltagebut at least we should come down in size quite a bit anyway19:15
mhall119oh, I spoke with JR at UDS about the KDE dependency that pulls in everything19:16
mhall119maco has the same problem with gally19:17
highvoltagemhall119: that's been fixed, at least :)19:17
mhall119hopefully it'll be fixed by moving a Recommends to a Suggests in a package19:17
mhall119oh, it's already fixed?19:17
highvoltageyep, we didn't even notice it getting fixed (oops)19:17
highvoltagemhall119: if you check on an Edubuntu maverick DVD, it's actually fine19:18
mhall119really? hmmm19:18
mhall119cause when we check at UDS, on my maverick install, it was there19:18
mhall119weird19:18
mhall119we checked the kde dependencies, not edubuntu19:18
highvoltageit got fixed somewhere during the cycle and we didn't notice it. stgraber and I checked it last week to try to get it fixed, and the problem is present on a lucid->maverick upgrade, but not on a clean maverick system19:18
mhall119ah, ok19:19
* mhall119 upgraded19:19
highvoltageI'm sure there's still some cruft, but we don't have all of plasma or desktop sessions or stuff like that anymore19:19
highvoltagefor systems that are already installed we won't be able to do anything for really, at least nothing that's not too intrusive19:20
mhall119I don't think we'd want to anyway19:20
highvoltageyep.19:20
highvoltageEdubuntu Council Term is coming to an end in a bit more than a month19:21
highvoltagewe commicated with the CC and sabdfl said that since we're a tight core, it should be ok for the current council to be re-appointed19:22
highvoltagewe should still check who's still available with the current members though, and find out if they are actually available for another term19:22
highvoltageI e-mailed all the current members a bit more than a week ago, but not everyone has responded yet19:23
highvoltagewe also need to allow for new members to step up19:23
ScottKDo you have such a thing as "Edubuntu membership"?19:24
highvoltageI'll poke those that didn't respond already a bit harder today and then announce if we have open positions available19:24
highvoltageScottK: yep, although there are only a few edubuntu members really19:24
ScottKMy thought is that if you work on expanding the Edubuntu membership then eventually you'll have enough to have a reasonable election for Edubuntu Council by that body.19:25
highvoltageScottK: Ubuntu members can get it very easily though (they basically just have to apply and attend a meeting), so there's not at all a high barrier19:25
ScottKThat's probably enough.19:26
highvoltageScottK: indeed. it's something that I wanted to work on the last year, but there's just been so many other high priority things. the next few months should be better for that19:26
ScottKSure.  Understood.19:26
* mhall119 would like to apply for Edubuntu Membership this meeting19:27
ScottKPersonally, I think being selected by the relevant community is a better basis for legitimacy than appointment by the CC.  CC appointments should be seen as a temporary work around.19:27
highvoltagemhall119: the usual process is to add your name to the meeting agenda so that we can make sure we have EC quorum19:28
highvoltagemhall119: if we can get quorum though, we can probably do it today19:28
highvoltagenixternal: are you around?19:28
highvoltagemhall119: we need 4 EC members present, I poked sbalneav on #ltsp, but I'm not sure if he's around, we could probably do an impromptu meeting later for that then19:30
mhall119no problem19:31
mhall119I added it to the agenda anyway19:31
highvoltagegreat19:31
highvoltagemhall119: I added twidenash to the Edubuntu site, it's not public yet I just need to fix a CSS problem (that's been pesty to track down), once that's sorted out we'll use it instead of the identica badge19:32
mhall119cool19:32
mhall119glad it's working19:32
highvoltageedubuntu's ubiquity-slideshow is now moved out from the edubuntu-live package and into the proper bzr branch where all the other slideshows live19:33
highvoltageso tomorrow's daily build (and probably the rest of the week's as well) won't have a slideshow19:34
highvoltagebut that will be fine again when the new slideshow packages are built (I'll poke some people today/tomorrow) to find out how that works19:34
highvoltageoops, that closing bracket should've come much later :)19:35
highvoltagewe've linked to the edubuntu marketplace from the homepage based on discussions with Canonical at UDS19:35
highvoltagealthough we haven't announced it much or linked to it from anywhere else19:36
highvoltageso we'll probably have to spend some time on that as well at some point19:36
highvoltageok, just talked to stgraber (who actually had the conversation)19:37
highvoltagethe marketplace will just list hardware vendors eventually. commercial solution providers, etc will move to a new page somewhere on the ubuntu.com site19:38
highvoltagethe edubuntu seeds have already been modified to include the updates on package selections, so the first edubuntu daily builds will have all of those packages that were approved tentatively for inclusion at UDS19:40
highvoltagebefore the first alpha we'll just have to go through them at some point and check which packages shouldn't be there anymore19:40
highvoltageespecially since we might have 2-3 packages having very similar functionality in the initial builds19:41
highvoltagemhall119: I didn't get hold of nixternal or sbalneav, so we'll have to do that later19:42
mhall119highvoltage: there's no hurry19:42
highvoltageand that pretty much concludes what I have to update on :)19:42
mhall119has anybody heard from dinda?19:42
highvoltagewell, I just saw dinda joining the channel :)19:43
highvoltagedinda: are you here?19:43
mhall119guess not19:44
highvoltageanything else before I hit the end of meeting gong?19:45
alkisgWhat did that mail about the bugsquad subscription mean?19:45
mhall119no for me19:45
highvoltagealkisg: ah, edubuntu-council was set (incorrectly) to expire from that team after a year19:47
alkisgAh, ok19:48
highvoltagealkisg: so we set it to not expire, and that's what the mail notification said19:48
stgrabernothing to add here (sorry, was multi-tasking a lot today ...)19:48
highvoltageok, seems like that's it then. thanks everybody19:48
highvoltage*gong*19:48
alkisgBtw yesterday we setup a google map for greek schools using (ed)ubuntu/ltsp to pin their locations, and already 30 schools did so: http://goo.gl/maps/nOoQ19:49
mhall119can that be used for non-greek school installs too?19:50
alkisgThis is for finland: http://goo.gl/maps/YiFQ19:50
alkisgIt'd probably be nice if we started a global map...19:51
mhall119yeah, that's what I was thinking19:51
highvoltagealkisg: nice!19:53
alkisg...or at least if we made a page in the edubuntu site/wiki with links to such maps19:53
