ograjanimo, so whats needed to get us the hedless image ?15:06
ograNCommander, no :P15:06
NCommanderogra: I need to land janimo's branch15:07
GrueMasterogra: Can you save that for image status?15:07
ogra(why do we have an 11.05)15:07
ograGrueMaster, still, there seems to be action needed to fix the WI tracker15:07
NCommanderogra: probably for Linaro15:07
ograbeta is broken completely15:07
NCommander[action] ogra to fix WI tracker15:07
ograand there shouldnt be ubuntu-armel-11.0515:07
MootBotACTION received:  ogra to fix WI tracker15:07
GrueMasterBeta hasn't started yet.15:07
ogradoesnt matter for the tracker15:08
ograit just reports how the whiteboards are set15:08
ogradate has no influence15:08
janimoogra, I don't know what else is needed, these build scripts are not well documented, let alone I am not working on the actual ones running the builds15:08
janimoso I hope NCommander spots any irregularities15:08
ograaction: everyone to check their WI status on the whiteboards that the right beta tag is set15:08
ograNCommander, ^^^15:09
janimoor we try and if there are errors we fix after A315:09
NCommanderI had gotten sidetracked by mono and then alpha 3 to land the headless branch15:09
ograi'll find out whats needed and we can do that offline15:09
janimoNCommander, sure np15:09
NCommandernow can we get back on topic on Unity 2d Status?!15:09
ograNCommander, right, please do that with high prio now that you are done with mono (assuming you are)15:09
ograNCommander, if you would wait until getting an answer on the move request that would be easier15:10
NCommanderogra: I'm not, and I don't have a local d-cd instance to test. You may be better off landing the code15:10
NCommanderogra: I did wait, there wasn't a response either way.15:10
ogracan everyone please move the remaining a3 items on theit blueprints15:10
ogra*their15:11
janimocan anyone see why this whiteboard is not parsed correctly? https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-arm-n-handle-core-boot-files-update15:11

NCommander[topic] Kernel Status (cooloney, rsalveti)15:15
MootBotNew Topic:  Kernel Status (cooloney, rsalveti)15:15
ogravery bad from what i grokked from the mail discussion15:15
rsalvetifor omap 3 one the master-next will get merged with 38-rc7 release15:15
ograseems .38 exploded with the last rebase15:15
rsalvetinow for omap 4 things are still bad15:15
rsalvetithe current blocker issue is the mmc crash15:15
rsalvetias reported by cooloney15:15
ogradidnt he also talk about build issues ?15:16
rsalvetiso this should be sorted this week, and probably merged at our ti-omap4-dev then15:16
ograor are these solved15:16
rsalvetiogra: we got patches for that already15:16
ograah, good15:16
ograseems i missed a mail15:16
ograor two15:16
rsalvetibut at least with current tests, it seems that it's kind of working well15:17
ograplan is to move to .38 as soon as these are solved15:17
rsalvetiyup15:17
ograwhich means also trhat we'll lose .3515:17
rsalvetiit'll be merged at ti-omap4-dev, then we'll request more testing15:17
rsalvetionce it's ok, we'll pull as the default kernel for omap415:17
ograi was wondering if it would make sense to have an upload to canonical-arm-dev PPA15:17
ograof the final .35 branch15:17
ograso we have a fallback if .38 isnt usable at all during our work15:18
rsalvetiwe could create a public ppa for it, if needed15:18
rsalvetibuild at canonical-arm and then copy to the public one15:18
ograi just thought to make sure we dont get blocked by it15:18
ograseems to be not very rebase-safe to me atm15:18
ograso it might explode again next rebase15:18
GrueMasterWell, if we are testing it on the side before making it default, we should catch most issues.15:19
rsalvetiwell, at least 38 is almost final already15:19
rsalvetiGrueMaster: sure15:19
ograright, mainline is15:19
ograbut the patches still look shaky15:19
rsalvetiand will be for a while15:19
ograright15:19
rsalvetiwe just need to test before pushing15:19
rsalvetithen we should be ok15:19
rsalvetiGrueMaster can be our go/no-go15:19
GrueMasteryep15:20
ograi dont want to overload him though ;)15:20
ograhe is busy enough15:20
rsalvetinot a lot to test15:20
ograk15:20
ograthen lets drop the PPA idea15:20
rsalvetiI don't expect a kernel update more than once a week15:20
NCommandercan I move on?15:20
GrueMasterogra: What say I make the call of how busy I am?15:20
rsalvetiany other question?15:20

rsalvetihehe, then you're the issue15:21
ografix your palms ?15:21
GrueMasterAlpha 3 testing was brutal (again).  Made it through at the last minute.15:22
ograor your fingers :)15:22
ograGrueMaster, we werent the last ;)15:22
ograkubuntu was respun this morning15:22
rsalvetiand most important, we made it :-)15:22
ograyeah15:22
GrueMasterIt won't past muster.15:22
ograawesome job !!!15:22
ograGrueMaster, NCommander thanks for making it possible15:22
GrueMasterI also spot tested kubuntu last night.  It has more serious problems.15:22
ograrsalveti, and thanls for the right suggestion at the right moment ;)15:23
ograGrueMaster, kubuntu x86/amd64 was respun15:23
rsalvetiogra: haha :-)15:23
GrueMasterOh.15:23
ogranot armel15:23
GrueMasterWell, armel was also respun by NCommander at my request.15:24
ograoh, twice ?15:24
ograi only saw 03 and no 03.1 when i tested15:24
GrueMasterThought it may be also hung up by the same issue.  Turns out it has additional critical failure issues.15:24
GrueMasterTiming.15:24
ogra(or did you talk about kubuntu armel now)15:24
GrueMasterYes.15:25
ograah, confusing :)15:25
GrueMasterWe announced we were respinning in #u-release.15:25
ograyeah15:25
ograi thought you talked about netbook15:25
ogra(ubuntu)15:26
GrueMasterIt would be far easier to understand what I was talking about if there were less interuptions.  I haven't stopped talking about kubuntu.15:26
GrueMasterAt any rate, I have nothing constructive to add further.15:27
GrueMasterNCommander: move on, please.15:27

charlie-tcaThis was brought up earlier, and deserves an answer:19:29
charlie-tca<BillyBob> i have a small opinion to make; xubuntu is trying to fit into the same niche as ubuntu, maybe we need to find a different one?19:29
* micahg doesn't think so19:29
=== apachelogger_ is now known as apachelogger
micahgxubuntu is a lighter alternative to ubuntu, not lightest though19:30
charlie-tcaUbuntu with Unity and Gnome has always been aimed at the the new user coming from windows19:30
charlie-tcaWe have not aimed at the new user, intentionally.19:30
charlie-tcaWe are looking more at the user with at least some experience19:30
BillyBobOK, but xfce has almost the same configuration of programs (so far as i know) as GNOME, why change?19:31
charlie-tcaAnd, as micahg just stated, Xubuntu is a lighter alternative19:31
Sysiwe're hitting far from gnome3 and kde with xfce 4.819:31
charlie-tcaum, BillyBob, I think you should look again19:31
charlie-tcano open office/libreoffice19:31
charlie-tcano rythmbox/banshee19:31
charlie-tcano unity/compiz19:31
Sysibrowser is same, shortly said19:32
micahgyes, and lighter default apps19:32
BillyBobOK, i'm just a noob i guess19:32
micahgI think the only default shared with Ubuntu is Firefox19:32
BillyBobbut if there was like a killer reason to change, maybe more people would?19:32
charlie-tcaThere are many differences, even though we do use some of the gnome applications19:32
Sysiwe could market xubuntu to old gnome users that don't like unity19:33
Sysinatty-time19:33
charlie-tcayes, that would be good, also to those experienced users who want more configurability19:33
charlie-tcaMany things can be changed in Xubuntu that are harder to change in Ubuntu19:34
BillyBobmaybe if we marketed with that, customisability?19:35
BillyBobforgive me if u do19:35
charlie-tcaWe need help with the marketing part of things19:35
BillyBobhave you thought about removing the rat from the logo, because rats are sneaky and annoying, and pests?19:36
macos/rat/mouse/19:36
BillyBobmaco: what about a mouse?19:37
Sysiit's xfce's mouse19:37
BillyBoboh, a mouse!19:38
charlie-tcaBillyBob: here is the start to our Marketing plans - feel free to add to it19:38
charlie-tcahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Marketing19:38
charlie-tcaThe mouse is the Xfce logo19:38
charlie-tcajust as the footprint is the gnome logo19:38
BillyBobbut maybe we don't have to use it, the ubuntu logo doesn't have a foot19:39
charlie-tcaideas accepted19:39
charlie-tcaPlease add them to the marketing page19:40
PsynoKhi0ubuntu now has pretty much its own DE though :)19:40
PsynoKhi0well... own shell rather19:40
Unit193It's nice to have the minimize/maximize/close buttons on the top right19:40
charlie-tcaYes, even though the underlying stuff is gnome, they are putting more and more of their own into Ubuntu19:40
charlie-tcaheh, gnome3 does away with minimize and maximize buttons19:41
BillyBobmmm, true19:41
charlie-tcaXubuntu gives the user the option to use the buttons or hide them all19:41
charlie-tcaThere's that configurability again, huh?19:42
BillyBobbefore i go, perhaps a freash new icon theme, like the 'breathe' one, the xfce one looks kinda old19:42
charlie-tcatoo late for this cycle19:43
Sysidiscuss with knome about that :P19:43
charlie-tcaAnything else to discuss19:43
charlie-tcaknome does not run things, he can make suggestions too19:43
charlie-tcathe icons are there for Natty, already19:43
charlie-tcagoing....19:44
charlie-tcagoing 2.....19:44
PsynoKhi0then again, having the ubuntu logo19:44
charlie-tcaThanks for participating in this meeting!19:44
charlie-tcahuh? what "having the ubuntu logo"?19:44
charlie-tcawhere is that?19:45
charlie-tcaOf course, we walk a fine line, being a separate distribution but officially supported by Ubuntu19:45
PsynoKhi0having the ubuntu logo instead of the xfce one would brand xubuntu as a distro with stronger tie with ubuntu, instead of strong tie with xfce19:45
charlie-tcaThat would be a wrong suggestion. We really do have a strong tie with Xfce19:46
charlie-tcasince that is the desktop environment we use.19:46
charlie-tcaWe could consider a logo that shows both, again, as we had in the past.19:47
PsynoKhi0was wondering where this one went :)19:47
charlie-tcabut we will not confuse the user by using the Ubuntu logo. That does designate Ubuntu, a different distribution.19:47
PsynoKhi0fair point19:47
charlie-tcaDevelopment happens in #xubuntu-devel, support happens in #xubuntu19:48
Unit193How about the Ubuntu logo with the mouse in the middle?19:48
charlie-tcaum, it would be better to use a similar but different design then the Ubuntu logo.19:49
Sysigetting complicated for small sizes19:49
charlie-tcayeah, we tried to get the mouse in the wheel, it did not work well19:49
charlie-tcaWE need one that designates lightweight, tied to ubuntu, tied to Xfce, with great configurability!19:50
PsynoKhi0does it really have to show the entire logo? my only gripe about natty alpha is that the menu button is really small19:50
charlie-tcaa few designs to look at would be nice19:50
charlie-tcaWe are trying to get some new designs drawn up19:51
charlie-tcaThe fact that it is the logo does not mean it has to be tiny19:51
PsynoKhi0let me upload a pic real quick19:52
charlie-tcabetter to do a couple of pictures, and give us a chance to see them. We will not make a decision today, anyway.19:53
PsynoKhi0kk19:53
charlie-tcaHopefully, we will have logos to look at next week, right?19:53
charlie-tcaPsynoKhi0 and ochosi and maybe knome will get some together for us?19:54
PsynoKhi0can give it a try19:54
charlie-tcaPsynoKhi0: feel free to tell us in #xubuntu-devel any links to see a preview of it, okay?19:54
PsynoKhi0sure thing19:54
charlie-tcaI would like to end this meeting, if we can?19:54
charlie-tcaThanks again for participating. It is great to see interest being generated!19:55
