pleia2jono: will you be around for the CC meeting tomorrow afternoon to help clear up some of the FUD around banshee? Vincent Untz added the issue to our agenda https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda02:23
pleia2jono: a follow-up to comments on ubuntu-news.org would be appreciated too (this is why it's better to post on your blog first, less chance for such fragmented discussion :)) http://ubuntu-news.org/2011/02/24/banshee-in-natty-to-ship-multiple-stores-and-contribute-to-gnome-foundation/02:24

Technovikingdholbach and pleia2: going to try to make the CC meeting, in real life work meeting at that time, and my lappy is in the shop15:38
dholbachI won't be able to make it - sorry15:39
popeygonna be a quiet one :S15:40
popeywhich is annoying given how much we have on the agenda15:40
jcastrowhen is the meeting?15:41
nigelbisn't the amazon and banshee thing up this time?15:41
nigelbI suppose you'd have a lot of people turn up to watch15:41
Technoviking2100 utc15:41
popeyWe are doing uupc at 20:30 for 1 hour15:41
popeyso I will only be at the cc meet for the last half15:41
nigelbooh, UUPC time!15:42
popey:)15:42
popeyListen live! D:15:43
popeyer :D15:43
popeywe're having a quiz, which should be fun15:43
Technovikingdholbach or jcastro: is there a reason you heard from the business side we could active the Ubuntu foundation and have the money going there from Amazon15:43
nigelbgah, can't listen live, too late in my TZ15:43
jcastroTechnoviking: I don't know anything about the business side15:43
nigelbat least too_late_when_I'm_at_home15:43
dholbachTechnoviking, the Ubuntu foundation is not a body that is doing anything15:45
dholbachit's a trust15:45
dholbachthere's no functionality, people or anything else connected to it15:45
dholbachbut maybe you might want to ask Mark about it15:45
dholbachhe'll be in the best position to answer the question15:46
Technovikingdholbach: the reason I asked, that it people don't mind money going to Ubuntu, just not Canonical15:46
TechnovikingPeople don't see it is really the same thing15:46
dholbachI don't think it's that easy to divide Ubuntu into "ubuntu without canonical" and "ubuntu with canonical"15:47
dholbachthat doesn't work15:47
macoisn't that kubuntu?15:47
* maco runs15:47
dholbachor needs loads of money, thought, effort and time to make it so15:47
dholbachI don't think it's a good way to solve any problems, but I might be wrong15:47
dholbachmaco, ...15:47
macoi ran away!15:47
macobut that was just because the kubuntu team has only one canonical employee which is quite a lot fewer than ubuntu desktop15:48
maco</troll>15:48
nigelbmaco: lol15:50
dholbachI won't take the bait15:50
popeygood man15:50
nigelbdarn, we tried :p15:50
nigelbbut I gotta say, that was pefect timing.15:51
nigelbwe need a quote site just for Ubuntu channels ;)15:52
dholbachhey jono16:00

dholbachjono, rock!16:07
dholbachthanks16:07
jonodpm, firing up Skype now16:07
jcastroTechnoviking: I think people think we just blow it on parties instead of ubuntu development16:08
jcastrodpm: hey when you're done I need to talk work items with you wrt. unity docs and APIs16:08
dpmjcastro, sure16:09
macoTechnoviking: sounds like they want it run like a publicly traded company would, with published financials and such, and possibly also wanting to see budgets, like "so does money go more to ubuntu dev or LP dev?" and such, but...no stockholders, no requirement...16:09
Technovikingmaco: seems to be16:09
jcastromaco: I keep waiting for people to ask for my pay stub so the community can judge my value and then fire me16:10
mhall119jcastro: sadly, that exactly what would happen16:12
nigelbjcastro: I thought the community might ask for your pay stub and they say 'bless his soul, he needs to be paid more for the kind of stuff he's dealing with'16:12
popeyMeanwhile... back on planet earth.16:12
nigelbtrue, I tend to think mhall119 is right16:12
mhall119and I don't even know what jcastro is paid16:13
mhall119it could be $100/year, and someone would write about how it's excessive16:14
* mhall119 hopes it's more than $100/year16:14
senseOr is it in euros? What currency does Canonical actually use internally?16:14

TechnovikingJono get paid in pennies, cause that is more metal:)16:15
nigelbsense: its more like how many fractions of marks one earns a year :p16:16
jcastroI've been paid in kilos of powder made from the ground up bones of unicorns before16:16
nigelbjcastro: I thought you got paid in keybaords for banging on the head ;)16:16
senseA shame you're not beign paid in Zimbabwean dollars, you'd been a billionaire by now.16:16
vishlol!!16:16
mhall119a zimbabwean billionare16:16
mhall119which isn't the same as a real billionare16:16

mhall119dang, my second to last week at work, and I'm going to blow it all following UDW16:17
* popey is amused to discover that jcastro posted the very first mail to the sounder list16:18

jcastroback then it was a big deal, in fact iirc ubuntu shipped with 2.6 and utopia before anyone else16:20
macowhen i hear "utopia," i think "the sky is like diamonds"16:21
vishoh gosh! thats 2004!!!16:21
* maco looks at popey16:21
Technovikinggood times, good times16:21
sensejcastro: Is 2.6 really that young?16:21
popeyhmm?16:21
macosense: dapper was only on 2.6.15....16:21
sensemmm16:21
jcastrosense: I think you meant to ask "am I really getting that old"16:22

macoiirc, Sarge is the release that let you choose between 2.4 and 2.616:22

senseWait, what, they called HAL Project Utopia? :O16:24
macomhall119: heh16:24
mhall119maco: at least, that's what I tell myself to justify it16:24
macomhall119: i heard some news about you, so that sounds valid16:24
mhall119yeah, it did pay off ;)16:24
popeyhttp://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/warty/ retro!16:24
Technovikingyes, it is hard to believe someone would put up with me for so long16:25
jcastrokirkland keeps VM images of all the old stuff somewhere16:25
mhall119next release party, I want to try and get a computer running each Ubuntu release, side by side, for comparison16:25
mhall119maybe every other release, since that would be a lot of computers16:26
popeyvm16:26
nigelbjcastro: I think pitti has all the images16:26

=== dholbach_ is now known as dholbach
jcastroI think Places docs can be pushed to Beta since they're still in progress upstream16:47
dpmjcastro, so let me summarize the status of api docs, to see if you can use it to tick off some wi's:16:48
jcastroheh16:48
dpmwe are publishing documentation extracted from the -doc and -dev packages16:49
dpmIt does not have a unified look, but gets the job done16:50
dpmSo for C-based APIs we're good, for e.g. Vala (i.e. unity) and to have docs for other bindings such as Python, kamstrup developed a tool to birng us 90% of the way16:51
jcastrois it up somewhere yet?16:52
dpmI'm publishing the output of this tool here, in the natty/GIR folder:16:52
dpmhttp://people.canonical.com/~dpm/api/16:52
dpmit's on a cron job, so it's updated daily16:52
jcastrois going to go on another user-visible thing for natty?16:52
dpmalthough in the future it will be updated weekly and it will go on d.u.c/api16:53
jcastrolike on ubuntu.com?16:53
jcastroah perfect16:53
dpmI've got a RT open to move it to d.u.c, but I've had to modify a couple of things on the script to be run there, so it might take until next week to be in there16:53

dpmhere's an example of the Unity api docs:16:54
dpmhttp://people.canonical.com/~dpm/api/natty/GIR/python/Unity-3.0.html16:54

jcastrothey fixed the multimonitor in the panel now19:14

cjohnstonjcastro: when you mouseover the logo does unity sometimes appear but very faded?19:17
jcastroyes19:17
jcastroI think that's a hint that there's a launcher there19:18
cjohnstonis that a feature/19:18
cjohnstonok19:18
jcastroI don't like it, I liked how it was before19:18
cjohnstonhow do you make it appear completely?19:18
cjohnstoncause clicking causes the other window19:18
jcastroeither turn off autohide, click the button, or hit super19:18
jcastroyeah, that's annoying19:18
jcastrothere's some dash/launcher/super interactions that need to be adjusted19:18
jcastrofor example "tap" on super is supposed to launch dash19:18
cjohnstoneven super brings up the window19:18
jcastrobut a normal super is supposed to launch the launcher19:19
cjohnstonhmm19:19
jcastrobut like, the thresholds are kind of raw19:19
jcastroso it just launches crap19:19
jcastroit's much better this week19:19
macoum, maybe make it double-tap versus hold-down?19:19
jcastroI expect it'll get nicer here as we figure out the exact key thresholds19:19
cjohnstontheres a new unity update today19:19
jcastrocjohnston: oh, do you not have that?19:20
cjohnstoni got one yesterday19:20
