starcraftmancprofitt: we got to the link to the agenda.00:33
cprofittok00:33
=== cprofitt changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: membership approval vote
phillwcprofitt: It really does seem like a complete waste of time, there is not a quorum, so no votes can be held & I've help people up way past their bedtimes.00:34
cprofittthe basic idea is stay as is -- everyone present votes00:34
cprofittphillw: I am not aware of us requiring a qurom00:34
cprofittwith our global membership we really do not have that ability via IRC00:34
phillwcprofitt: I propose jarred00:34
cprofittjarred?00:35
UndiFineDhead_victim00:35
cprofittah...00:35
starcraftmanif we don't have enough for votes we can always talk then vote on ml.00:35
cprofittstarcraftman: I, again, am not aware of us requiring a qurom00:36
head_victimHere00:36
starcraftmancprofitt: well, regardless of that, we don't have many to start with it seems.00:36
phillwcprofitt: Jared, A crazy mad Australian (as they all are) (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JaredNorris), who has the knowledge, time and patience to help people who now belongs to phillw (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw) He's a great guy with a wonderful sense of humour. As a padawan for UBT (see ;padawan or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam)00:36
cprofittphillw: ah... thanks... but not sure that is on topic currently00:36
cprofittmembership changes00:37
cprofittis what we are currently on00:37
cprofittthe options are - stay as is with team vote by attending members each meeting or change to a process which involves the council voting.00:37
phillwcprofitt: I fully support what you have proposed at option 2, it is most of what I have then also proposed.00:38
cprofittthe council vote if adopted would include current members and community members being able to leave testimonials on a prospective member and the council would then vote00:38
phillwcprofitt: you have a massive +1 from me for the council vote.00:39

cprofittphillw: I see your propsal, but would like to offer what our current process is....00:41
cprofittit currently involves the team lead, associated team and the council00:41
cprofittwith the final decision being a council decision00:41
cprofittdoes your proposal change that00:41
=== cprofitt changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: mentor approval process
phillwcprofitt: my proposal was a reinforcement of the council granting mentorship to people.00:42
cprofittok... so no need for a vote or a change then?00:42
phillwcprofitt: the only thing I would comment on, is that UBT has a member, who is not granted mentorship status... but that is covered more in topic 4 :)00:43
cprofittok00:44
=== cprofitt changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: accessibility focus group
cprofittphillw: we have a process for forming a new focus group00:44
cprofitthttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FGCreation00:45
cprofittalso,... there are times when a sub-group can be created under the umbrella of an existing larger team00:45
phillwI'm sorry, that at such short notice that their team leader cannot be here. As you will know, I am a proponent of accessibility00:46
cprofittour intent was to not have a constant flow of launchpad teams, irc channels and mailing lists00:46
cprofittphillw: I agree with accessibility and it was one of my UDS take-a-ways to enlarge the roll that UBT has with that00:46
cprofittthe real question is if the team requires its own 'FG' or can it exist under a current one00:47
phillwcprofitt: as accessibility covers such a wide area, having sub teams within it is more manageable. (they already have one)00:47
cprofittso currently we have documentation, user support, bugs and documentation00:48
cprofittI see all of those core teams having roles in accessibility00:48
phillwcprofitt: as it is drawing in devs, coders, admin, documentors - I do honestly think that it needs a FG00:48
cprofittI would recommend following the steps here --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FGCreation00:49
cprofittthe council can then work with the accessibility team to determine if / when we can form a sep. FG for it00:49
phillwcprofitt: all teams work together, but having an accessibility FG will go along way towards Jono said at ADS-N00:50
phillw*UDS-N00:50
* cprofitt nods00:50
cprofittplease read the page and we can follow-up on the creation of a FG team00:50
phillwcprofitt: task it to me, I will get it doen.00:50
phillw*done*00:50
cprofitt[task] phillw to work with accessibility team and council to consider forming a FG for accessibility00:51
=== cprofitt changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: lubuntu
cprofitttake it away phillw00:51
phillwhe he...... the one that has been causing the council people so many headaches.00:52
phillwWe are not fully adopted, but kindly taught by teams as if we are.00:52
cprofittnot following phillw00:53
phillwPeople who find lubuntu are usually experienced, so them wishing to help new comers is a big plus.00:54
=== Pici changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Google Calendar doesn't understand UTC. Please check in UTC time and confirm meeting times on the fridge
Pici/topic isn't a mootbot command00:55
cprofittplease continue phillw00:55
starcraftmanphillw: you want us to do some work for lubuntu itself? Promotion? support?00:56
phillwas part of the discussions, it was stated that Lubuntu is fairly self sustaining, and we have some really experienced people who are prepared to help padawans. My proposal is that via all the Lubuntu needs a padawan will be very well suited to apply for UBT, and ubuntu membership00:57
cprofittalright... thanks phillw00:57
cprofittphillw: you are putting forth head_victim for a vote?00:58

evTrying to work out how to smoke test the generated live filesystems so I don't have to go in the datacenter every time someone breaks the boot, but I think I'll ditch that as it'll be too much work to get a VM inserted into this.  Some small patches to ubiquity per OEM services' request.16:16

cjwatsonnot really bugs, but I'm a bit worried about http://people.canonical.com/~platform/workitems/natty/canonical-foundations.html - we're still technically within the trend line, but we had a bit of a head start16:19

cjwatsonplease debate that with pitti - I did look at the bug, but he's been very definitely on top of that bug so I don't want to jump in16:22
cjwatsondoes that bug need an update-manager task, if it's going to need a specific package installed from -updates before upgrading from maverick to natty?16:22
mvoI added one16:22
mvoI think I will just patch pycompile when the upgrade starts16:23

highvoltageI was wondering, should we have a meeting on 22 and 29 December?19:01
highvoltagenext alpha is only in February and we don't really have much planned for the next two weeks19:01
alkisgHi all19:01
highvoltagemgariepy, stgraber, mhall119, nixternal: (poke, btw)19:02
* alkisg thinks we can take a break for holidays..19:02
mhall119o/19:03
highvoltageI changed the next meeting time for 5 January 2011 then19:03
mhall119ok19:03
highvoltageif anyone feels strongly about it they can schedule a meeting in the meantime then19:03
mhall119I'll just ping you when I need you19:04
highvoltagewe're always in #edubuntu anyway so it's not like we even really need meetings, it's just useful for reporting mostly I guess19:04
highvoltageI updated our roadmap page a bit this morning: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Devel/RoadMap19:04
highvoltagejust some minor changes since last time19:05
highvoltagewe also now have daily builds again, we had a broken package due to the python transition for about a week19:05
highvoltageI tested today's daily build and it's actually quite good, except for LTSP being broken19:05
highvoltageThe iTalc link is now hidden on the live environment since it doesn't work anyway19:06
highvoltage(at least not in live)19:06
highvoltagesome more good news,19:07
highvoltagedinda and mhall119 are now finally edubuntu-members19:07
highvoltageheh, and dinda was just in time to miss that19:07
highvoltagehey dinda19:08
highvoltage14:09 < highvoltage> some more good news,19:08
highvoltage14:09 < highvoltage> dinda and mhall119 are now finally edubuntu-members19:08
highvoltagemhall119 also applied for edubuntu-dev and became one just before this meeting, he's now an official edubuntu developer19:08
charlie-tcaCongratulations dinda and mhall11919:08
highvoltagehttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-devel/2010-December/003666.html19:08
highvoltagethat's about it from me this week19:10
dindahighvoltage: thanks!19:10
highvoltagemhall119: would you like to update us on the launcher stuff?19:10
dindaI saw the auto-notice from LP that I'd been added to the group19:10
highvoltagedinda: and do you have anything from your side?19:10
dindahighvoltage: nothing new here19:11
highvoltageI'd like to talk about edubuntu-dev and how edubuntu-council members who are edubuntu-developers should really be members there, but we don't have everyone here atm so I'll just bring it up in #edubuntu or on the list again19:14
=== Sarvatt_ is now known as Sarvatt
mhall119sorry, had to step away for a minute19:14
mhall119so, xdg-launcher 0.0.4 is, IMO, good enough for Qimo at this point19:15
mhall119and daker is doing a lot of work, borrowing code from ADeskBar, to add even more improvements19:15
mhall119so I can definitively say that it will be a part of Qimo 319:15
highvoltagecool19:16
mhall119instead of separate qimo-session-gnome and qimo-session-xfce, I'm going to stick with just one package that will look for either /usr/bin/startxfce4 or /usr/bin/gnome-session and decide which to use19:16
stgraberhighvoltage: I'm fine with not having any meeting during the holidays19:16
mhall119since ~50% of the configs for qimo-session had to do with the launcher anyway19:16
mhall119my TODO list is:19:17
mhall119* re-name xdg-launcher to something non-xdg-branded (probably qimo-launcher)19:17
highvoltagestgraber: would it be fine adding qimo-games, qimo-session, qimo-wallpaper and qimo-launcher to the edubuntu package set?19:18
mhall119* update qimo-wallpaper and qimo-games to 3.0 (nothing major)19:18
mhall119* make qimo-session work for either Xfce or Gnome19:18
mhall119* make qimo packages for GDM and plymouth themes19:18
stgraberhighvoltage: I guess it'd be easier if we first seed them to have them in the dvd pool, then poke cjwatson to update the package set19:18
mhall119oh, and qimo packages for ubiquity slides19:18
mhall119then start building the CD from scratch (or ubuntu base squashfs) and see how much room I have19:19
highvoltagemhall119: ok, we could seed them when they don't explicitly depend on xfce anymore19:19
mhall119highvoltage: oh, hmmm, you know what, maybe I will need separate -gnome and -xfce packages, for the dependencies19:20
mhall119unless I can do Depends: (set of gnome packages) | (set of xfce packages)19:21
mhall119is that possible?19:21
stgraberyou can19:21
highvoltagemhall119: that was exactly what stgraber and I just discussed :)19:21
mhall119ok, I knew you can do packageA | packageB19:21
mhall119was sure about groups of them19:21
mhall119okay then, just one qimo-session backages with convoluted Depends19:21
mhall119gah, my typing is terrible19:22
mhall119hope that made some kind of sense19:22
highvoltageyou'll probably just use the gnome-session or xfce-session meta-packages instead19:23
mhall119ok, xfce4-session has everything in Recommends, but I guess that's okay19:24
highvoltagenot sure how complicated those sets of packages need to be, but if you'd like to get a 2nd opinion or need some ideas feel free to poke me19:24
mhall119ok19:24
highvoltagerecommends are installed by default anyway19:24
highvoltageso it should be fine. recommended packages can be removed without the metapackage being removed19:25
highvoltagebut that should be fine19:25
highvoltage(my typing/communication also sucks today :p)19:25
charlie-tcaxfce is modular, so without the recommends, a lot of things quit working19:26
mhall119but if qimo-session depends on xfce4-session, and you apt-get install qimo-session, it will get all the Recommends19:26
mhall119so that should be fine19:26
highvoltageI doubt most users would go ahead and remove random xfce packages though.19:26
mhall119does apt give preference to which comes first in a Depends: A | B19:27
mhall119if you have neither installed19:27
mhall119nevermind, we can take this back to #edubuntu, it's not part of the meeting19:28
highvoltagewell, we don't have much else happening at the meeting, but you're probably right we can take it back to #edubuntu19:28
highvoltageanything else for the meeting?19:28
mhall119so, long story short: Qimo 3 is coming along well, and should be ready for inclusion in Edubuntu soon19:28
mhall119hopefully in time for alpha 219:29
highvoltagemhall119: are you going to make a qimo release on 11.04?19:29
mhall119highvoltage: yes19:29
highvoltagecool19:29
mhall119or shortly after19:29
mhall119as close to the *buntu release date as possible19:29
highvoltageok19:30
highvoltagewell, I guess that's it for this meeting then. back to #edubuntu!19:31

barryoh that's not too bad21:05
barrylet's start...21:06
barry[TOPIC] action items21:06
MootBotNew Topic:  action items21:06
barry  * ajmitch to come up with questions/topics for next meeting (re: REVU)21:06
barry 21:06
barryi don't know if ajmitch is around, so let's leave that one for now21:06
barry  * poolie to send bzr rotation pitch to platform mailing list21:06
barry 21:06
pooliesorry, not done21:07
pooliekeep it21:07
barrycool21:07
barry  * barry & poolie to add work items to [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-foundations-n-distributed-development-review-and-planning|UDD blueprint]]21:07
barry 21:07
* ajmitch is kind of here21:07
barryi did add some work items from our last meeting, but could use poolie's review of it21:08
barryajmitch: hi.  are you ready to talk about REVU, or should we push that back to next time?21:08
pooliei think they're plausible21:08
pooliethere are a tonne of others, but i think they're good for ~april21:09
ajmitchI have some initial notes/comments about it21:09
barrypoolie: cool.  feel free to adjust, decompose, reassign, etc. as you will.  the screenscrapers will keep up21:09
barryajmitch: i'll put it on the agenda for later21:09
ajmitchreally rough list that I came up with to start a discussion at http://paste.ubuntu.com/544185/21:09
barryajmitch: cool. let's blow through the bugs and then talk about it21:10
ajmitchok21:10
barry[TOPIC] bugs of interest21:10
MootBotNew Topic:  bugs of interest21:10
barryare there any updates on the bugs at the agenda url above?  i know i have not had time to work on any of them :(21:10
pooliesome21:11
pooliea fix for direct commits to stacked branches is underway21:11
pooliewe did some network performance fixes21:11
jelmer-n900i fixed a bzr builder bug, not sure if it was on the list21:11
poolieexarkun should fix the conch breakage on huge pulls by january21:12
jelmer-n900and without browser atm21:12
poolieoh, spiv i think fixed the tags thing21:12
pooliegood for you21:12
poolieso, a decent bit of progress21:12
barryyep, really fantastic21:12
poolieperhaps we should re-fill that list when we next meet (i assume in january)21:12
barrypoolie: +1, and +121:13
barryi've done a ton of branches in the last two weeks and have noticed two things that kind of hit me often.  i'll describe them and perhaps you can tell me if bugs need to be filed21:14
barrythe first is that merge-upstream on maverick doesn't know about natty.  i always have to fire up my natty vm, do the merge-upstream, push the branch to lp, and then go back to mav (my main dev box), pull the branch and proceed from there21:14
poolieouch21:15
pooliei think you should file a bug; james can close it if it's already fixed21:15
poolieit sounds like at minimum a ui or doc gap21:15
barrypoolie: will do, thanks21:15
barrythe other thing i notice, and i'm not sure it's a bug, is that it's problematic to get the changelog entry right.  dch -i doesn't cut it for a few reasons:21:16
jelmer____barry: Wasn't there somebody looking at doing a SRU to cope with that?21:16
barryjelmer____: i dunno, but poolie or james_w might21:17
jelmer____bug 66876421:17
ubottuLaunchpad bug 668764 in bzr-builddeb (Ubuntu Maverick) "Add Natty to the list of known distros" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/66876421:17
james_wyeah21:17
poolieah, that's always bugged me too21:18
jelmer____apparently Pitti uploaded to maverick-proposed21:18
barryah, cool21:18
barrythanks21:19
barryso, dch:21:20
barry* series always defaults to maverick instead of natty21:20
barry* 1build1 -> 1ubuntu121:20
james_wI think there's a package that we can now use to answer these sorts of questions21:20
=== Sarvatt_ is now known as Sarvatt
james_w(which is the current target, what's available)21:20
barry* formatting of LP: #XYZ is finicky21:20
barryjames_w: sorry, was that in response to my second issue?21:21
james_wboth really21:21
james_wbzr-builddeb could use it so that I don't have to remember to add the new codename21:21
james_wdch could use it so that it can know where to target by default21:21
james_w(the maverick/natty issue)21:21
barrygotcha21:22
barryi did file bug 690230 on the XbuildY issue21:23
ubottuLaunchpad bug 690230 in devscripts (Ubuntu) "dch -i should change XbuildY to NubuntuM" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/69023021:23
barryjames_w: do you think there are reasonable bugs i can file lurking in the second issue?21:23
james_wbarry, yes21:24
james_wI think there is some disagreement on the maverick/natty one, but hey21:24
james_wI'm not sure how to make the fomatting easier, but no reason we can't try21:24
barryokay.  i'll try to formulate a couple of bug reports.  btw, should i be filing them on udd or bzr-builddeb?21:25
james_wthat sort of thing can go against udd21:26
barryjames_w: cool, thanks21:26
james_wdevscripts is where dch lives, so that would be better, but maybe add a "udd" task?21:26
barrythat's it for me, anybody else have feedback on bugs?21:26
barry[TOPIC] REVU21:27
barryajmitch: you have the floor21:27
MootBotNew Topic:  REVU21:27
ajmitch10:09 < ajmitch> really rough list that I came up with to start a discussion at http://paste.ubuntu.com/544185/21:28
* ajmitch hasn't had much time to actually write up anything here21:28
ajmitchbut I was just wanting to hear peoples ideas of reviews of new packages21:29
ScottKajmitch: For me one of the killer features of REVU that things like PPAs lack is the ability to hold multiple versions of upstream tarballs with identical names, but different contents and diff them.21:30
ajmitchright, I'm not sure how that can be done by comparing different revisions of an upstream branch & how we'd use that properly21:31
ScottKThe problem we run into is poorly constructed tarballs that have to be redone.  This is not rare.21:31
ajmitchcurrently each upload to REVU is stored in a separate directory & diffs are generated between them21:31
ajmitchNot rare, and is often done for legal reasons21:32
jelmer____ajmitch: is the directory kept once the package is accepted, or is it destroyed (perhaps also for legal reasons?)?21:32
ajmitchjelmer____: currently kept until someone removes it through the UI21:32
poolie... are we stuck?21:36
barryajmitch: maybe we can talk more about REVU at the next meeting?  i haven't used it enough to have any relevant comments21:36
ajmitchbarry: perhaps, if people want to21:36
barryajmitch: okay, thank you though for that list.  i'll add it to the summary21:36
barry[TOPIC] next meeting21:37
MootBotNew Topic:  next meeting21:37
barryso, probably in january21:37
barryif we do the 5th, then the meeting after will be at the platform rally, which might be a good thing21:37
