It should be working in a day or two. I started messing with putting the long names in the header but switched to xattrs due to the factors detailed below. [17:12] Storing long names in meta data is problematic for [17:12] • hardlinks - this can be handled somewhat by either allowing a single longname or by allowing multiple longnames as space allows [17:12] Fail over to storing long names in header [17:12] • long directory names - problematic. There is no header for directories [17:12] • long symlink names - problematic. [17:12] • require update of header (reencryption) on rename [17:12] Fail over to storing long names in xattrs [17:12] • problematic for filesystems that don't support xattrs [17:12] • leaks fact that long name is present unless all files are given longname xattr [17:12] • requires update of xattr (reencryption) on rename [17:12] Combine current FNEK names and longnames requires encoding information to that a given name was long and stored differently, this leaks some information about the filename. This leak provides more information than the xattr on the file, in that it provides information on which dentry is long when a file has multiple names. === Ursinha-afk is now known as Ursinha [17:12] hrmm that didn't paste nice :( [17:13] done?

[20:04] hanging on [20:04] popey: no [20:04] :0 [20:05] oh, ok [20:05] victorp: please continue [20:05] why? [20:05] Hi! My name is Victor Palau. Originally from Barcelona (Spain), now living in London. [20:05] I have been involved in Open Source previously in the mobile phone space. I started following the Ubuntu community when setting up the Symbian Foundation, and I developed a passion for how things were done in Ubuntu. [20:05] I recently joined Canonical (since Sept'10), and I am leading the team that is responsible for the Ubuntu Certified programme and also for the enablement of new hardware such as Sandybridge in Ubuntu. Recently involved on the SRU testing and Natty alpha1 across our HW lab. [20:05] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VictorPalau [20:05] and that is me ;) [20:05] victorp, nice move to get ara and mdz to speak up for you :) [20:05] oh well, they are nice people [20:05] indeed [20:06] victorp: How were you involved with Ubuntu before September 2010 ? [20:07] as a user [20:07] not as a contributor really [20:07] i have blog about my experiences a bit [20:07] do you have a LP url that lists all pcert bugs ? [20:07] popey: if you prefer, we can, I don't see a particular need for it [20:08] ok [20:08] ogra - hold on I will look [20:08] * ogra is fine without bot as long as someone manages to count [20:08] ogra https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=pcert [20:09] also recently created https://wiki.ubuntu.com/certification [20:09] ogra: I'll use a calculator if I get stuck ;) [20:09] :) [20:09] victorp: Can you say a little about how you came to join Canonical and the Ubuntu Certified program? [20:09] aloha [20:09] made,it [20:09] sure [20:09] I have been involved for a long time with Symbian [20:09] (the OS for phones) [20:10] and a few years back I was part of the team [20:10] that moved it to open source [20:10] victorp: you have great recommendations from Ara and Matt, and your recent work seems really great, but is there other Ubuntu specific work (as in, loco team involvement, any bug fixing, packaging, etc) that you have been involved in? [20:10] as part of doing so we look into how ubuntu does manage the projects [20:10] highvoltage, a buglist is above [20:10] that is how I started following it up and setup a bugsquad for that [20:11] highvoltage - not a really good programmer here :) [20:11] my strength is on testing and team management [20:12] how are your plans to involve the community more into certification ? [20:12] ogra - so I kept an eye for roles in Canonical that I could contribute more fultime [20:12] any creative ideas for the near future ? [20:12] I would have expected more than 25 bugs reported for a bank of 200 machines being tested..? [20:13] ogra - I think we need to make sure we have a way for the community to provide feedback [20:13] popey - me too, that is one of my pet hates [20:13] ogra- we have setup a public lp project [20:13] ++ [20:13] and we are planning to link from that to the certification pages [20:13] and make some noise in the community too [20:13] for example [20:14] * highvoltage has no further questions [20:14] i think the wikipage is a very good start [20:14] I bought a vostro 3300 [20:14] and has a few bugs [20:14] so I add notes to the certification [20:14] but that is only because a I work there, I want to make sure that everyone in the community can provide that sort of feedback [20:14] ++ [20:15] ok, i'm done with questions too [20:15] how woyld you go about gwtting community people involved [20:15] sorry on phone [20:15] ogra - would like ideas on how to make the right noise in the community about it! [20:16] create something like the hug-day programme [20:16] well - I think we need to make sure we reach the right people that [20:16] that was for czajkowski [20:16] :) [20:16] give people rewards (SWAG and the like) if they are really deeply involved etc [20:16] I found out that actually not many people know about certification [20:17] great. shall we vote? [20:17] so start by making sure that advocates of ubuntu know about it [20:17] ok [20:17] ok [20:17] plan to keep blogging a [20:17] oops [20:17] yes ready to vote. [20:17] :) [20:17] ready to vote [20:17] * victorp shuts up now [20:17] VOTE: victorp for Ubuntu membership, council members may vote -1 (against) / +0 (abstain) / +1 for [20:18] +0 [20:18] -1 [20:19] +0 [ great work leading hardware certification team, but I'd like to see more depth and breadth of Ubuntu work ] [20:19] I'd like to see more evidence of work done, and more community involvement [20:19] +0 ... i would be +1 for future plans and taking the community into account in a manager role where you not necessarily would need to, can you make that happen (or get started at it) and come back with some more under your belt ? [20:19] popey - could you give me some examples please? [20:19] +0 [ you seem fairly new around here and I'd welcome wider participation within the Ubuntu community, keep up the great work ] [20:20] ogra - sure [20:20] +0 just not there yet. Can do more also with a bit more work I see this program taking off :) [20:20] it's also hard to judge work based on a team. the wiki page says "The Hardware Certification team does...", it's hard to add that to a person's contribution when it's not direct contributions listed [20:20] victorp: well, I am unaware of any community involvement in the hct [20:21] highvoltage, well, he leads the team ... [20:21] ^^^ victorp, for next time, I hope you apply again [20:21] i realise the testing team consists of some community people, but nothing more specific on your wiki page details what your team does with the community [20:21] ogra: then he could list what he did as a leader to make the team work better [20:21] leading it in the right direction is surely a good contribution if the result is a working cert programme with much community involvement [20:22] ogra: that team also appears to be an internal canonical team, it doesn't seem part of the Ubuntu project (please correct me if I'm wrong) [20:22] it certifies ubuntu [20:22] indeed its currently made of canonical employees [20:22] highvoltage - we run test on every SRU and weekly on natty for quality testing and we share this results with the community [20:22] but note that it exists for years already [20:22] + certification [20:23] ogra ack [20:23] and now there seems to be a direction towards the community [20:23] so thats imho a valuable contribution if we can measure it [20:23] maybe we should side line this and move on? [20:23] victorp: I hope that you do get more involved or change your wiki page somewhat and re-apply, I do however stand by what I said. You sound like a great guy and I'm sure you'll get membership at some point [20:24] * drubin agrees with highvoltage [20:24] can we keep moving sorry we have a lot to get through [20:24] ogra: I'd like to discuss this with you, let's do that after the meeting if you have some time [20:24] thanks, I hope to apply again ;) [20:24] thanks [20:24] highvoltage, sure [20:25] RESULT: -1, and we hope to see victorp apply again in the future after more contrubution [20:25] MichealH: you've been quiet today [20:25] I prefer the new bots syntax makes greping easier [20:25] MichealH: are you around? [20:25] highvoltage: I have? [20:25] \o/ [20:25] I am indeed [20:26] drubin: ok, next time you can chair [20:26] good luck MichealH [20:26] Shall I introduce myself? [20:26] Hi Guys! I am Micheal Harker and I am here to go for Ubuntu Membership. I beleive that to keep Ubuntu Open Source, people ,like me should contribute to Ubuntu. I currently do and I am well noted for doing things for Ubuntu Tour and IRC in Gerneral. I hope that My request is enough to sustain the requirements to be a Member. [20:26] "people like me" - who are people like you? [20:27] I am a team leader of Ubuntu Tour [20:27] highvoltage: I was implying you were the bot :) and I like your format. Think we should use it going forward seems easier then moot [20:27] drubin: ah, ok, I misunderstood :) [20:27] highvoltage: People who get involved by organising teams and helping take on key roles in Teams [20:27] Ddorda: Around? [20:27] ‎MichealH: indeed :) [20:27] I have a few people to tell you guys how they feel about my contributions [20:28] MichealH: I browsed through the ubuntu tour content this morning, there's quite a lot of pages written about it already! it was quite impressive [20:28] highvoltage: I made around 5 or 10 of them [20:28] ‎I'm here to support MichealH. i know him for long time and i can tell how active and useful he is. he always help where he can and contribute where ever he is needed [20:29] MichealH: the LP team lists that there are over 200 members in the team. how many of them are active? and have you had any problems so far in managing the team? [20:29] MichealH: are there any plans to get the project added to Ubuntu main archives instead of just a ppa [20:30] highvoltage: I dont do much organisation stuff but I know at least 50 - 75 are active [20:30] I am here to support MichealH as well, he is a good leader for Ubutu-Tour and he recently started contributing to SpeechControl [20:30] drubin: We are hoping for it to be either added to Natty (Could be possible) But definatly in the future [20:31] I also get involved in Speech Control [20:31] Its a progect to help people with Disabilities to use the computer [20:31] Im not a genious at programming but I am helping nonetheless [20:31] * popey goes 'eek' at the tutorial linked from your page about 64-bit flash [20:32] MichealH: the Ubuntu Youth wiki page says that the team is currently being revive the team? [20:32] MichealH: so before you were here and you were involved in Ubuntu youth? are you still invovled there? [20:32] MichealH: and to what level ? [20:32] highvoltage: huh? Can you please be a little clearer? [20:33] MichealH: on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuYouth, it says under current tasks "Currently we are in the process of revamping the team's project(s), goals, and direction. When all is decided, the tasks and projects will be listed here." [20:33] czajkowski: I was a leader but I stepped down, I am now a Member there and I help whenever someone shouts [20:33] MichealH: why did you step down ? [20:33] MichealH: are you involved with the revamping project, and if so what is your role(s) in that? [20:33] highvoltage: Nope that is handled by the council [20:34] czajkowski: Becuase people were loosing intrest. I was simply 'not ready' for leadership at that time [20:34] And as you can see I am alot better at leading a project [20:34] well a project in many ways is like a team MichealH [20:35] czajkowski: I understand that [20:35] any further questions? [20:36] I, also have gotten my relatives intrested in Ubuntu [20:36] My dad loves it!

[20:39] oh, sorry drubin I forgot about you [20:39] MichealH: it's not about the wiki, it's about doing items, rather than coming up with some good ideas. [20:39] well, you said you wrote about 10 pages on the tour already [20:39] MichealH: link to work you have done.. So we can click on the links and see [20:39] point to them ... [20:39] etc [20:39] Can I geather some evidence? [20:40] MichealH: I nearly wanted to give you a +1 just based on that this is the... 4th time we see you? [20:40] I'd also like some QA on your tutorials. [20:40] highvoltage: Indeed [20:40] MichealH: sure can we talk to you after the meeting, just we have a good few to get through tonight [20:40] Okay [20:40] MichealH: but I think you need to take a step back and show some patience before applying again, and wait until you have more contributions [20:40] thank you [20:40] MichealH: Also non of your recomendations are from people in your current teams you list :) [20:40] popey: Some QA?

[20:51] ricotz: if so, are you doing any work on that? [20:52] highvoltage, very unlikey at this time, since the gnome 3 stack is in a bad condition [20:52] highvoltage, it has to, else the canonical PR team will suffer :P "yes you can easily switch from unity to gnome-shell" :P [20:52] but there will be an official ppa which already exists [20:52] ogra: heh, nice :) [20:53] ok, any further questions? [20:53] * ogra has none [20:53] (i like the fact that someone uses LTSP in business (finally)) [20:53] heh [20:53] (yeah it works ;) ) [20:54] ricotz: heh, you realise that stgraber and ogra is LTSP upstream? :P [20:54] VOTE: ricotz for Ubuntu membership, council members may vote -1 (against) / +0 (abstain) / +1 (for) [20:54] +1 [ great packaging / bug fixing work in an area that is much needed ] [20:54] +1 (not because of LTSP though) :) [20:54] +1 [Dev stuff but focused on community and getting other people invovled] [20:54] +1 - great work providing great services for the community (and I like docky ;) [20:55] at least that is how it comes across. IMHO very good quality so well done ricotz [20:55] +1 [20:55] well done [20:55] +1 [20:55] RESULT: +6 [20:55] thank you very much! all of you [20:55] ricotz: congratulations and welcome! [20:56] ricotz: Hope to see you continue doing what you are doing. Congrats [20:56] highvoltage, ty [20:56] great to have you on board [20:56] Congratulations, ricotz [20:56] ricotz: added to ~ubuntumembers [20:56] udienz: You're up next, would you like to introduce yourself? [20:56] drubin, ty, if my time schedule works ;) [20:57] (and tell us more about yourself) [20:58] udienz: are you around? [20:59] I'm surprised udienz doesn't apply for MOTU, he's done some nice bug fixing work in universe [20:59] well their wiki does say limited internet [21:00] yeah, he seeems to focus on ftbfs [21:00] thats rare and awesome [21:00] yeah [21:00] very much needed [21:00] ok so we can close meeting and let the CC start on time this month :)D [21:00] he was online earlier, what a shame not now [21:00] I've cleared out the wiki page but left udienz on the list for next time maybe [21:00] he says "he used mobile connections" so might be unstable [21:00] great [21:01] udienz: we're ending this meeting, feel free to apply next month. I suggest you consider applying for MOTU rights with the DMB in the meantime, which will automatically grant you membership as well. [21:01] bah, wiki is broken [21:01] Thanks for attending everyone [21:01] thanks highvoltage for charing you did a great job. [21:01] nice one highvoltage [21:01] chairing even. [21:01] I'll send results to all the relavant lists [21:01] Meeting adjourned [21:01] highvoltage: thanks for chairing [21:01] thanks :) [21:01] yeah, thanks [21:02] (and sorry for missing last month) [21:02] ogra: blame the iphone alarm :p [21:02] i blame vacation [21:02] i was forced to burn my vacation days (had left a full month) [21:03] ogra: jammy [21:03] was nice :) [21:03] highvoltage: *hugs* [21:03] ok, time for the Community Council meeting :) [21:03] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda/ [21:04] once again we don't have much of an agenda (the only item on it right now requires direct followup) [21:05] czajkowski: *hugs* [21:05] so if there is anyone who wishes to bring anything up, you're welcome to, we don't have quorum to make decisions but it can be finished on list [21:05] o/ [21:05] Do you have any status on Xubuntu Project Lead? [21:06] * pleia2 checks [21:06] pleia2: all I have is thank you for keeping CC things going and caring! [21:07] pleia2: does indeed rock [21:08] charlie-tca: it looks like the CC only received one recommendation for leader [21:08] Now what do I do? [21:08] charlie-tca: I think from here we decide how to handle it, maybe just a vote of confidence vote from the xubuntu community? [21:08] Do I ask them to approve it? [21:08] Okay, Thanks [21:09] the CC can approve, or the community can approve, I don't see a problem either way, you're the canididate and I don't think there will be problems with confirmation :) [21:09] Yeah, I just need to get something formalized on it. [21:09] * pleia2 nods [21:10] I'll follow up to the nomination email confirming what we just discussed here [21:10] Thanks [21:10] highvoltage: that reminds me, if you want to announce the new edubuntu council member, feel free to (I'll x-post to fridge) === Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-afk [21:14] pleia2: ok, great. I'm doing the e-mail right now [21:16] charlie-tca: email sent :) [21:16] Thank you very much [21:24] pleia2: e-mail sent [21:25] highvoltage: oh! that's good too, but I actually meant the new *edubuntu council member* we installed last week :) [21:26] Marc Gariepy [21:26] pleia2: oh, right. sorry my mind was kind of one-tracked on emea there for a moment :) [21:27] pleia2: ok, I'll post it on the Edubuntu blog and edubuntu-devel mailing list, sounds good? [21:27] perfect [21:27] I'll x-post your -devel mail to the fridge [21:27] perfect [21:28] maybe also mention in the email that you moved to 2 year terms [21:28] so we extended everyone (except nixternal) [21:29] Jordan Ericksson stepped down, but he sent the email in which he said so to the wrong person so no one ever got it :) [21:29] doh [21:29] that means we'll be down from 6 council members to 5, which isn't a problem, but we should then bring our quorum down from 4 to 3 [21:29] * pleia2 nods [21:29] 5 is more standard anyway [21:30] I seem to recall we did 6 because there were 6 nominees and they all got the same number of votes :) [21:30] indeed, and it gave us at least some redundency [21:33] highvoltage: do you have a copy of Jordan's step down email? if so fowarding it to the CC would be great, then I can deactivate his membership in the team [21:50] pleia2: I didn't get the email (since he sent it to the wrong person), but he e-mailed the CC directly on 2010-12-09 [21:51] your latest email was sufficient, I'll deactivate tomorrow unless there are objections :) [21:51] thanks [21:51] ok, thanks a lot [21:52] now I can finally tick the edubuntu council elections off from my todo list :) [21:52] me too! [21:53] pleia2: re staffing of boards? [21:53] pleia2: any word? [21:53] czajkowski: no word, looks like we got tied up in a boards discussion about merging boards [21:53] I definately would opose that [21:54] now that the holidays are over we should try to push through that blocker [21:54] czajkowski: the Merge RMBs thread was emailed to all the board lists, can you reply to the thread? [21:54] I thought I did... [21:55] not seeing one [21:55] nope [21:55] just to the one about quorum being hard to get [21:55] (from which the thread in question branched off) [21:56] ah, yeah [21:57] done [21:58] thanks :) [21:58] I'd have the conversation with people just not on the thread. [21:59] np [21:59] I'll nudge people about moving forward this week, hopefully we can get at least a request for nominees mail out [22:00] nods [22:01] if I recall correctly the suggestion was more of an informal merge. or perhaps, make it more formal that boards can 'borrow' board members from each other as necessary [22:02] highvoltage: but that already happens for the asia board. [22:02] czajkowski: yep, I don't think it's written anywhere in the docs, is it? [22:03] dont think so [22:03] czajkowski: if we're doing something and it works and it's undocumented, then it should be documented and made part of the process. that's what I mean by 'formalising' the process. [22:04] yeah, we need to formally say it's ok, but a full merge makes me wince too [22:04] highvoltage: doesn't always work, we're online and not asked sometimes [22:04] so it's not necessarilly a case that something needs to change, but the documentation should probably be updated to reflect reality [22:05] highvoltage: there was a suggestion for a formal full merge (dissolving regional entirely and just dumping us all in one team) [22:05] highvoltage: or a board gets restaffed properly so it doesnt need to borrow board members so it can operate properly tbh [22:05] czajkowski: even more reason to formalise it then. because then there could be process about contact details, etc [22:05] pleia2: ok [22:05] highvoltage: I dont mind once in a blue moon, more than one month in a row and something is up with the board imo, either their time is wrong or they need more members [22:06] czajkowski: yeah. there's some interesting things about that though [22:07] czajkowski: for example, stgraber and I are on the EMEA board, and while we're both from that region we now live in the Americas time zone. The EMEA timeslot happens to be super convenient for us even though we're outside of that timezone, and we've had other people from this area apply too because it works for them [22:08] highvoltage: it doesnt really work for americas, but asia can be staffed by emea folks in some cases due to the timezones where as you and stgraber could do americans [22:08] but again, asia should really have a fully functioning board. [22:08] czajkowski: so I sometimes wonder whether it really makes sense distributing by region where it might be better to just have 4 meetings a month at different times [22:08] or else fall under EMEA and Americas which may upset some folks. [22:09] (not that I'm pushing for that, I'm just throwing the information out there) [22:10] yep, aisa can lean on emea, emea can lean on americas, americas could lean again on asia for extra members [22:11] and sorry if my conversation isn't particularly constructive, I'm just babbling now :) [22:23] i sat in on asia before. they meet around sunrise for my timezone === JanC_ is now known as JanC
