=== Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-afk [00:57] da123 [00:57] ouch [00:57] yay, dudanogueira :) [01:00] #startmeeting [01:00] Meeting started at 19:00. The chair is pleia2. [01:00] Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] [01:00] Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu Membership Review Board for the Americas meeting for January 21st 2011. The wiki page for the Review Board is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards/Americas [01:00] 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. [01:01] The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO). [01:01] 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. [01:01] 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. [01:01] 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!) [01:02] Now, with any further ado, lets get started with the first applicant... [01:02] is geeknik here? [01:02] ok, james78? [01:03] I am here. [01:03] [TOPIC] james78 membership [01:03] New Topic: james78 membership [01:03] james78: please go ahead and introduce yourself :) [01:04] hello everybody [01:04] just pinging here [01:04] Legendario: heya! [01:04] Hi, I'm James, and my wiki page is at the end. I've been working with computers for many many years (7 or so). I started with Ubuntu around 8.04 (september 2008) and have been loving it ever since. I mostly help people out in the Ubuntu forums and IRC. I love helping people out and giving technical support. :) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/roejames12 [01:05] james78: Who added the recommendations to your wiki? It only has first names, and it appears you have made all of the edits to that page [01:05] Yes, I indeed have. [01:05] Those recommendations came from 2 people I know on MSN. [01:05] There was a 3rd person who was going to add theres in, but they never got around too it. [01:05] hi dudanogueira! [01:06] james78: so why are you going for your membership? [01:07] james78: and are active in any loco teams? events? [01:07] james78: where in the world are you? do you have some involvement with nearby locos? [01:07] oops :) [01:07] gmta :) [01:08] As said earlier, I love helping people out, and giving technical support. But on a better note, in the future, I plan on giving and maintaining a better role in the Ubuntu community. Documentation, packaging, bug triaging, and of course bug reporting! Just whatever work that needs to get done. :) [01:08] james78: dudanogueira and I are on the membership council, that's why we're asking so many questions [01:08] * greg-g waves [01:09] I am currently not affiliated with any loco teams. I live in College Place Washington, and if I remember right from looking up the loco teams, there aren't any around here, but I can certainly start one up sometime. :) [01:09] james78: we can certainly use your help in documentation! and all those other teams too [01:09] james78: I'm seeing http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-washington and http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/washingtonstate [01:10] james78: so about two years of active involvement, would you say? [01:11] Right around there ya. I was more on and off for a better part of the year, but within the last 7 or 8 months I've been getting much much more involved, especially with helping people out in the Ubuntu forums./ [01:12] james78: do you think you could get recommendations from some of the forums team members? [01:13] I believe I can. I know that a few have seen me around helping people. [01:14] CharlesA would be one of them. [01:14] james78: you've been doing some great work, but I think we'd really like to see you getting into some of those areas you mentioned, documentation, packaging, bug triaging and reporting [01:14] james78: it would be good to have them add their endorsement to your wiki page themselves [01:15] james78: agreed, maybe have one or two of them come speak for you here [01:16] without endorsements from known people, it is hard for us to make a decision, you know? [01:16] I agree. Makes perfect sense. [01:17] james78: you are almost there! keep up the good work :) [01:17] james78: so, go ahead and ask those people for those endorsements and, of course, keep doing good work and expanding your sphere of involvement and come back for membership in a little [01:18] ghoulmann, are you here? [01:18] here [01:18] My name is Rik Goldman, I have a deep commitment to literature, rhetoric, education, social justice and liberation. I'm eager to continue to explore with an invested community how Ubuntu can can be an asset as we serve these interests. I am a literature and composition instructor, and now find myself an advanced technology instructor. I have worked with IT since 1996, until now always ancillary to my work with wi [01:18] [TOPIC] ghoulmann membership [01:18] New Topic: ghoulmann membership [01:19] hi ghoulmann! just matched the nick with the work - excellent to have you here! [01:19] thank you! [01:19] it's great to be able to be here. [01:20] I began using ubuntu on secondary machines in 2005 after many years of changing distros and experimenting. [01:20] Ultimately I chose ubuntu for my home machines and committed my lab at the school to open source resources, with ubuntu as a foundation [01:21] ghoulmann: were you at the last UDS? [01:21] yay for ubuntu in school labs :) [01:21] ghoulmann: awesome, I'm really happy to hear about floss in the classrooom/education [01:21] no but apparently I came up in school server in a box discusison [01:21] ghoulmann: you did! [01:22] ghoulmann: we really need more educators telling their stories and helping to grow the community [01:22] it's been a really energizing experience. it also has me keeping assessment authentic, being able to have them contribute, rather then doing enervating drills. [01:22] ghoulmann: that's very good! open source has everything to do with education! [01:23] ghoulmann: when did your lab go Ubuntu? [01:23] And i see Ubuntu, espec. with the code of conduct, as the transportation for the technologies that will serve the underserved. [01:23] dudanogueira, ghoulmann, I also agree. Education and free software make the perfect couple [01:23] At the end of summer, students converted all the machines, with the blessing of sys admin and head of school [01:24] they did it by themselfs? [01:24] that's it cool [01:24] Based on the success the students had the prior year. [01:24] awesome. I have so many questions for you, but they aren't about membership related things, so I'll stay quiet :) [01:24] ghoulmann: doph! I just realized that article from T.H.E was about you! [01:24] They had support, an array of tools provided to choose from [01:24] * ghoulmann blush [01:24] read that last year and just now got the connection to Chelsea [01:24] ok, I think we're ready to vote (only board members voting, please) [01:25] [VOTE] ghoulmann membership [01:25] Please vote on: ghoulmann membership.

[01:36] yeah!!! we do need social people!! [01:37] In a event, I met persia(Emmet Hikory). He suggested me to apply membership. [01:38] cool, good ole persia. [01:38] nobuto: I'm curious why you are applying in the America's review board instead of the Asia/Pacific one. [01:38] I had no idea there was an ubuntu magazine japan [01:39] Asia/Oceania membership meeting is not well held since October last year.

[01:44] Yes and good evening [01:44] [TOPIC] pabelanger membership [01:44] New Topic: pabelanger membership [01:45] Yeahhh! I LOVE Asterisk :) [01:45] pabelanger: please introduce yourself :) [01:45] Hello, my name is Paul Belanger. I currently live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I'm a software developer for the open source project Asterisk and would like to help support Ubuntu-VoIP :) [01:45] pabelanger: Any LoCo participation? [01:46] I've been using open source for the last 15years, Ubuntu specifically since 2007 [01:46] nhandler: I attend a the local Ottawa Canada Linux User Group, but nothing local for Ubuntu. [01:47] pabelanger: do you know about the AsteriskOnUbuntu initiative? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskOnUbuntu [01:47] I've been recently helping triage issue on the launchpad issue tracker and package upgrades. [01:48] duanedesign: Yes, I've seen it in the past and help test some of the existing packages before they were merged. I would be more then happy to provide feedback and assistance with it. [01:49] owww! I don't want to disturb the meeting but I told everybody on the list and the ones who made my testimonial that I had a surprise to tell [01:50] yeah, I remember the asterisk-mysql had some bugs on it... [01:50] Ya, realtime support for the Asterisk package does need work. Most SOHO users wouldn't need database access, however the realtime aspect is nice [01:50] The news is that I'm going to me the new editor for linux new media brazil [01:51] I'm going to work on linux magazine brazil and ubuntu user brazil [01:51] pabelanger: what would you say is your biggest contribution directly to ubuntu thus far? [01:51] Legendario: that's very good!! Congrats!!! Is this Rafael's Peregrino Magazine? [01:52] so, I believe ubuntu will be in good hands... ;-). dudanogueira , that's exactly it [01:52] pleia2: Bug triage, my experience with upstream Asterisk allows me to quickly triage issues. [01:53] as well as end user support on IRC. [01:53] pabelanger: What is the polybeacon team? [01:54] nhandler: A test, I was trying to get familiar with launchpad. I used it a few months ago to repack some asterisk packages. I was attempting to add better realtime packaging for Asterisk. [01:55] nhandler: I didn't fully understand the concept of PPAs then [01:56] pabelanger: so you were working on updating packages for asterisk, does that mean you have submitted debdiffs for inclusion or something similar? [01:58] greg-g: Correct, I'm working on Asterisk 1.8 packaging locally. With the plan to convert it to use bzr-buildpackaging. I'd also like to start creating daily-builds, similar to chromium. [01:58] pabelanger: have you thought about working with MOTU to get updates to asterisk directly in Ubuntu? [01:59] greg-g: Yes, that is the next step. I want to help make the Ubuntu VoIP team more active: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-voip [02:00] pabelanger: Humm. I would love to have it in order to update AsteriskOnUbuntu :) [02:00] pabelanger: obviously you do amazing work with asterisk (thank you, I use it on debian :)), but I think I'd like to see a bit more Ubuntu specific work that you've mentioned you have interest in before supporting membership [02:00] dudanogueira: for sure [02:01] pleia2: Understood, if more active contributions for Asterisk in Ubuntu are needed... [02:02] pabelanger: I have to agree with pleia2, that is why I was asking about the MOTU/debdiff work. I would love to see you breath some new life into the VOIP/AsteriskOnUbuntu teams. [02:04] greg-g: No problem. Let me do that first and reapply [02:04] great, thanks for all the triaging work you do! [02:04] udienz: are you here? [02:04] pabelanger: awesome, I do really appreciate all your hard work. You're a great asset to the larger FLOSS community [02:04] pleia2, yup [02:04] pabelanger: that's great! I have an old computer sitting around with a X100P (I know, it's bad), and I'll update AsteriskOnUbuntu to 1.8 as soon as I have the time and the packages are available :) [02:05] [TOPIC] udienz membership [02:05] New Topic: udienz membership [02:05] Hi my name is Mahyuddin Susanto, i come from Surabaya, Indonesia.

He fixed the issue and it should be working in [16:19] today's ISOs. [16:19] On clients, we didn't get enough results and we are still investigating [16:19] the root cause. In one of the clients that didn't report back we did a [16:19] manual installation of the same daily image and it went OK.

The remaining pushed out items are listed with background on the overall status above (first link). Overall burndown we are still below the line, so we still hope to be able to catch up. [16:31] Of the bugs called out on the agenda, a few are now basically fixed: [16:31] #542660, #600453, and #681877 are all stalled waiting on a v2.6.38-rc1 based kernel to test (see below); [16:31] #539467 has been passed to desktop for implementation; [16:31] #605042 has been reproduced further testing requested; [16:31] #621195 benign message suppressed for Natty, Fix Committed; [16:31] #630748 experimental firmware looking better but not yet fixed, waiting on Intel; [16:31] #636091 affects maverick live environment, requested natty testing; [16:31] #682617 is confirmed as a pulseaudio issue, moved there; [16:31] #686692 memory size prevented ec2 instance start, bug found and patches pushed upstream and to natty, Fix Committed; [16:31] and #702166 has truncated bug output, requested information. [16:32] The main distro kernel remains at v2.6.37, we will remain on this version for a couple of weeks while the early 2.6.38 release candidates shake out. We are working on getting a v2.6.38-rc1 based kernel which will boot on both 32 and 86 bit systems in preparation for upload once stable. [16:32] ..

Several of the in-progress items are nearing completion though. [16:34] Interesting feature progress this week that isn't showing up: [16:34] - LibreOffice -> natty [16:35] - evaluating multiple test rebuilds, including one for gcc-4.6 (http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20110111-gcc-natty.html) [16:35] - fixed some of the graphical boot problems identified at the rally [16:35] - processing review feedback on upstart override handling [16:35] - started on upstart job visualisation work [16:35] - working on setting up easily snapshottable btrfs snapshots in installer by default [16:35] skaet asked about the milestoned bugs on the agenda last week, and we didn't have much to report. By way of amends, we've been doing a bit better this week: [16:35] Alpha-2 bugs: [16:35] 675347: in progress upstream (Linaro) [16:35] 680328: can't reproduce, asked for test sequence [16:35] 684052: Evan said at the rally that this would be easy; poked him again [16:35] 684703: have checked with doko, although I think this has been worked around; marked incomplete for now [16:35] 686263: looks to me like only ubuntu-mir members can get anywhere with this; commented asking for clarification [16:35] Alpha-3 bugs: [16:35] 664276, 664397: no status at this time; will ask Barry about it after alpha-2 [16:35] 691671: patch doesn't fix the bug; Evan has followed up saying so; needs more work, marked for alpha-3 [16:35] Beta-1 bugs: [16:35] 553745: still no information, as Scott said previous attempts to fix have made it worse; won't rush this one, so pushed to beta-1 [16:35] 645818: this should be tractable, but we released maverick with this so pushed to beta-1 [16:36] 671016: just a website change now, pushed to beta-1 [16:36] 690873: can safely be left for beta-1 at this point, per its milestone [16:36] Unmilestoned bugs: [16:36] 684083: can't reproduce on my nvidia hardware, asked reporter to confirm; could be system-specific [16:36] Four other bugs fixed or marked won't fix since the last meeting (see the agenda).

[20:07] (sorry if this is a dumb question) [20:07] ok [20:07] JackyAlcine: thanks [20:07] bedahr: No, I would have asked the same, I think I blurred it a bit too much. [20:08] I can see libopenmary being ready by mid-cycle of 11.04. [20:08] So if we merged with Wintermute it would take longer [20:08] Perhaps 11.10 release? [20:08] what about delaying to 11.10? [20:08] CensoredBiscuit: yes, A bit more. [20:08] I think 11.10 is a realistic target [20:08] Wintermute may not be avialable *officialy* for 11.04 or even 11.10, but there will be betas and alphas. [20:09] lets open the vote to 11.10? [20:09] yes [20:09] Don't ask, do so; you're the chair. [20:09] yes [20:09] Isn't there another python programmer in the team? Kinda sucks to do it all alone [20:09] [vote] Delay release to be 11.10 not 11.04? [20:09] Please vote on: Delay release to be 11.10 not 11.04?.

Total: 7 [20:11] let the record show development release is now set for 11.10 [20:11] Alright, making a note of that. [20:11] pedro3005: I'll see if I can kidnap you another python programmer, but you will know more than I do. [20:11] JackyAlcine, I commend your effort.. I should do the same about C++ [20:11] next on the agenda is a vote on the mentoring program [20:11] *more of them* [20:12] [topic] Mentoring program [20:12] New Topic: Mentoring program [20:12] Who has information on this topic? [20:12] JackyAlcine, Do you think it would be best if I worked on learning C++ and we left python alone? [20:12] Hold on until the development section, pedro3005 or perhaps a PM. [20:12] ok, sorry. [20:13] thank you JackyAlcine [20:13] now we're discuissing the mentoring program [20:13] What is this Mentoring Program about? Anyone? [20:13] I have no details on this program. [20:13] noone knows ? [20:13] then skip topic [20:13] MrChrisDruif: under the UBT realignment [20:13] very well [20:13] heh [20:13] next topic, [20:13] someone make something up on the spot [20:14] [topic] Cleaning up the speechcontrol wiki [20:14] New Topic: Cleaning up the speechcontrol wiki [20:14] people can become mentors when recommended by recognised team leaders. [20:14] i don't no wo have put it in.i was looking but with webbrowser my notebook screen freeze [20:14] oh, well, forget it, then :( [20:14] no phillw talk [20:14] phillw: we move it to next meeting [20:14] The speechcontrols wiki is looking rather clustered and unupdated [20:15] oh hajour :) [20:15] We need awesome admin people to keep on top of it [20:15] i am reeading go on phillw [20:15] I'm awesome...but my admin skills are a bit rubbish :P [20:15] CensoredBiscuit, ^ [20:16] In the speech control team we have mentors and masters from UBT, this will allow teams to work together [20:16] give phillw time to speak [20:16] So Lets attempt to get it cleaned up by next months meeting [20:16] Very well, [20:16] one easy example is that Daniel is now working with Daniel [20:16] do we need to back up topic-wise [20:16] we need to let phillw speak :p [20:17] CensoredBiscuit: Maybe change the topic back? [20:18] CensoredBiscuit: I'm awaiting some time with cproffit to get the header altered on the page. We did have it scheduled, but there was an 'issue' with an ex admin from here. [20:18] Is this about the wiki phillw? [20:18] Understood, [20:18] phillw, lets go back to the mentoring program [20:19] since I understand there was more to that [20:19] [topic] Mentoring Program [20:19] New Topic: Mentoring Program [20:19] alright, so we can mentor some people, who is up for the task ? [20:19] he has made the three new headers that we need, but we have not had chance to get things progressed [20:20] Define 'mentoring'. [20:20] Mentoring of new members I imagine [20:20] kinda like UBT [20:21] since the same people who run UBT do speechcontrol, for the most part [20:21] UBT is an area where people who want to give something back to the Ubuntu family are given help to achieve it. Take a tour of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/MissionStatement and ask on here or #ubuntu-beginners-team for more information. [20:21] Not sure if I'm capable enough to mentor as of yet. [20:21] Still have things to learn. [20:21] Mentor is someone who is skilled in a specific job (programming C++/Python, packaging or wiki work) [20:21] JackyAlcine: that is exactly why the mentoring process exists. [20:22] okay [20:22] So a programming mentorship? [20:22] is there anyone here who is capable of mentoring? [20:22] JackyAlcine: I'm a mentor and I've got a ways to learn myself. [20:22] * tenach is a mentor [20:22] hiyas tenach [20:22] Hello phillw [20:22] o/ tenach [20:22] o7 hajour [20:22] tenach: =] I guess I could bring people about Web programming, that I can teach confidiently. And C#. [20:22] I think we should at this time open a vote to start a speechcontrol mentorship program [20:23] i have already taken on MrChrisDruif [20:23] wait, wait. [20:23] Hold on. [20:23] What exactly are we mentoring on? [20:23] first let phillw tell more [20:23] I suppose the objective of speech control mentoring is to mentor about development/maintaining speech control [20:24] the UBT council have said that accessibility and speechcontrol come under 'development' area [20:24] i think that is right pedro3005 [20:24] So general programming should be left to beginners-dev [20:25] So therefore what is there to mentor [20:25] by entering the UBT project, those wishing to learn more will have excellent people to help them. [20:26] i think to take skilled people into speechcontrol and students .but we already did only then its more official right? [20:26] including some scarily awesome programmers :) [20:26] but doesn't UBT have the whole mentring thing covered? [20:27] hajour: yes, it is a way of ensuring people think about accessibility as they learn. [20:27] exactly my point, this mentoring should be restricted to speech control topics. [20:27] great plan :) [20:27] It makes more sense to me to have UBT take care of mentoring and have this as a project people can work on in that system..? [20:27] So are we ready to have a vote? [20:27] i think its a great plan [20:27] Scratch that, pedro3005 said it better. :) [20:28] [vote] Starting a speech control mentoring program [20:28] Please vote on: Starting a speech control mentoring program. [20:28] Public votes can be registered by saying +1/-1/+0 in the channel, private votes by messaging the channel followed by +1/-1/+0 to MootBot [20:28] E.g. /msg MootBot +1 #ubuntu-meeting [20:28] I agree with pedro3005 and tenach :) [20:28] +1 [20:28] +1 received from phillw. 1 for, 0 against. 0 have abstained. Count is now 1 [20:28] +1 [20:28] +1 received from UndiFineD. 2 for, 0 against. 0 have abstained.

Count is now 2 [20:28] +1 [20:28] +1 received from pedro3005. 3 for, 0 against. 1 have abstained. Count is now 3 [20:28] If it's going to be like those two said... [20:28] +0 [20:28] Abstention received from bedahr. 3 for, 0 against. 2 have abstained. Count is now 3 [20:28] +1 [20:28] +1 received from MrChrisDruif. 4 for, 0 against. 2 have abstained. Count is now 4 [20:28] +1 [20:28] +1 received from JackyAlcine. 5 for, 0 against. 2 have abstained. Count is now 5 [20:28] i think to and accessibility and speechcontrol because its both s [20:29] +1 [20:29] +1 received from hajour. 6 for, 0 against. 2 have abstained. Count is now 6 [20:29] :30 left on the vote [20:30] [endvote] [20:30] Final result is 6 for, 0 against. 2 abstained. Total: 6 [20:30] CensoredBiscuit: agreed ;) ? [20:30] As this is a young project, we can work on the details. [20:30] Let the record show the members have voted to start a mentor ship program [20:31] phillw, true enough. [20:31] should we discuss [20:31] who to put in charge of it next meeting [20:31] CensoredBiscuit: Use [agreed] I think... [20:31] CensoredBiscuit: That's towards the end of the meeting. [20:31] but its volunteer its not something everyone must do from the team [20:31] very well [20:32] next topic [20:32] CensoredBiscuit: yeah [agreed] to soldify results. [20:32] only if the person self it wants [20:32] [topic] Licensing [20:32] New Topic: Licensing [20:32] Hey [20:32] hey RainCT [20:32] hai RainCT [20:32] hi RainCT [20:33] So now we skip Documentation? :-/ [20:33] Sorry, just got home (well, actually I arrived 15 minutes ago but Debian decided it wants to check the disk for errors -.-. I should really disable those checks) [20:33] Well, someone's a celebrity. lol [20:33] We already discuiss documentation? [20:33] CensoredBiscuit: Partly... [20:33] documentation is already a W.I.P. [20:33] CensoredBiscuit, i think some wants to tell more about documentation [20:33] Well, lol. [20:33] anways [20:33] lets go back [20:34] [topic] documentation [20:34] New Topic: documentation [20:34] MrChrisDruif: when myself and cproffit get some quality time together, we will put the new headers on and start to split the pages. [20:34] he has already created them [20:35] phillw: Alright, I didn't know that. I already started a bit on that :) [20:35] the pages do seem cluttered [20:35] well we can split so topics from the current pages [20:35] *some [20:35] CensoredBiscuit: that is because we have not had chance to start splitting them [20:35] heh [20:36] very well. [20:36] How about a spot for blueprints? [20:36] Just a wish :) [20:36] there is the proposed adition of a developmental page [20:36] phillw: Shall I continue with it or leave you and Charles to it? [20:36] alright weĺl make room for that [20:37] UndiFineD: exactly that, but Myself and cproffit need a bit of time to edit the current accessibility header into speechcontrol, we are making progress :) [20:37] ok :) [20:37] the blueprints would be on the development page wouldn't it be? [20:37] MrChrisDruif: charles has already made the new headers. [20:38] CensoredBiscuit: the blueprints are on LP [20:38] so then why do we need them on wiki? [20:38] They usually want a link to a Wiki with more information. [20:38] CensoredBiscuit: for the speechcontrol header :D [20:38] ahh so link the header to LP? [20:39] so the wiki blueprints are for further details [20:39] Something like that. [20:39] very well, [20:39] ^^ yeah [20:39] now lets move to licensing? [20:39] [topic] Licensing in GPL [20:39] New Topic: Licensing in GPL [20:39] yes [20:39] so the bleuprints come on the wiki [20:40] We are going to license the project in GPL [20:40] good choice which version ? [20:40] the agenda does not state [20:40] 3 [20:40] It's on the wiki [20:40] verywell [20:40] hopefully this should be quick... As the licence is now on the speechcontrol wiki page, that allows the team to retain copyright, others to alter the code and commercial companies cannot steal it [20:41] Atleast, the logo from 3 is on it... [20:41] We're licensing every bit of code that SpeechControl produces under the GPL3 license. [20:41] I think GPL 3 is indeed the way to go. [20:41] GPLv3 or GPLv3+? [20:41] the distribution restrictions on the development code only apply to wintermute, not speech-control, right? [20:42] I believe that is correct bedahr [20:42] RainCT: we're on GPLv3 [20:42] bedahr: Define 'restrictions'. [20:42] JackyAlcine: how about LGPL for libs ? [20:43] strikeu: no, one licence [20:43] strikeu: the GPL people really do not like LGPL, it cuts down on collabaration. [20:43] one license would be a lot less work to implement [20:44] JackyAlcine: your mail said that the code (for, I'm presuming, wintermute) was not to be made public [20:44] CensoredBiscuit: Uhm, how so? It wouldn't make a difference. I agree with GPL being better than LGPL though. [20:44] bedahr: In its intial stages, yes. [20:44] heh [20:44] bedahr: That'll be explained. [20:44] GPLv3 was good i have informed [20:44] Verywell [20:45] hajour decided. [20:45] lets move on to the listing of our projects [20:45] [topic] Listing Of Projects [20:45] New Topic: Listing Of Projects [20:46] Alright. [20:46] The current projects I know of are Simon Listens, Julius and Wintermute [20:46] but I'm probably going to let JackyAlcine have this part [20:46] So far, SpeechControl's primary concern has been getting the Java-based TTS engine, openMary to be more Linux-friendly. [20:47] (For the record: The software project is called "simon" - "simon listens" is the non-profit organization behind it) [20:47] Java based...yagh [20:47] that's under the libopenmary, python-openmary and speechcontrol-daemon [20:48] speechcontrol-daemon's a special project to be ventured because it'll intergrate voice recognition into the Linux Speech API. [20:48] So is there anyone here who can list the projects and there attendees? [20:48] CensoredBiscuit: I'm doing so. [20:48] okay then. [20:48] Wintermute's another project that'll be discussed in a few moments that'll will be one of the larger goals and pursuits of SpeechControl Developers. [20:49] we have 10 minutes left..... [20:49] We'll have to move it to #ubuntu-speechcontrol then. [20:49] BUT I'm done with this section. [20:50] Lets go to the progress on simon listens [20:50] or just sim [20:50] simon* [20:50] [topic] Simon [20:50] New Topic: Simon [20:50] the suggestion to discuss winitermute in #ubuntu-speechcontrol seems fine :) [20:50] *heads there* [20:50] are you wanting to further contine the meeting in speech control JackyAlcine [20:50] * techgeek_squared also heads there [20:51] Yes, CensoredBiscuit but after we end here. [20:51] very weel [20:51] anyone have any word on the development of Simon [20:51] bedahr: ? [20:51] yes [20:51] bedahr: I've been keeping up with your blog; congrats. :D [20:52] use the devs area while you people discuss dev issuues, It is why it is there :) [20:52] well to be honest I have been pretty swamped this last couple of weeks (university) but I think it's RainCT who you want to talk to anyways [20:52] RainCT: Was there any progress on the patches [20:52] Not yet, I've just finished exams. [20:53] So not much progress on Simon? [20:53] anyways lets move on to Julius [20:53] no but again, there aren't any real open todos on simon anyways in my opinion? [20:54] aside from packaging I don't have anything on my todo list related to speechcontrol [20:54] have I forgotten anything? [20:54] Nope [20:54] bedahr: Aside from that, no. [20:54] bedahr: You're clear ;] [20:54] okay lets move on to Julius [20:54] JackyAlcine: :D [20:55] topic] Julius Development [20:55] [topic] Julius Development [20:55] New Topic: Julius Development [20:55] any word on Julius? [20:56] I've taken a pick at the software; god do I regret doing that. [20:56] It's not too user-friendly upon install and first configuration. [20:56] And such issues can be fixed with approriate tools. [20:56] JackyAlcine: So that would need to improve? [20:57] Greatly. [20:57] we're gonna need to move the meeting to #ubuntu-speechcontrol [20:57] but quickly before we do [20:57] CensoredBiscuit: Suggestion: just go there? [20:57] next meeting time and chair ? [20:57] would you all like to discuss the details of next meeting? [20:57] lol [20:58] [topic] next meeting [20:58] New Topic: next meeting [20:58] I think It should be a saturday [20:58] O.o THIS Saturday? [20:58] no [20:58] :) [20:58] *whew* [20:58] no not this Saturday [20:58] how about Feb 19 UTC 20:00 [20:58] * strikeu this is madness [20:59] hows that? [20:59] In the DEV channel (#ubuntu-speechcontrol-devs); we're out of time. [20:59] end meeting? [20:59] yeah I'm going play sc2 [20:59] talking futher in #ubuntu-speechcontrol-devs [20:59] #endmeeting [20:59] Meeting finished at 14:59.
