[17:02] o/ [17:02] It seems something to table for the next cycle. [17:02] (until the next cycle) [17:03] OK; so is that going to need a UDS topic? [17:03] Daviey: was there any mention of the greater problem of nobody actually working on the server guide this cycle? :-/ [17:03] jamespage, yes [17:03] SpamapS, what you said + s/server guide/docs/ [17:04] The whole platform docs are lacking this cycle. [17:04] Daviey: *ouch* [17:04] As in, there currently isn't really any activity this cycle.

(carry over) [17:11] Daviey? [17:11] Hmmm; might need to come back to that one [17:11] SpamapS : to put his version of ubuntuserver-minutes in directions for writing minutes [17:11] Done 2 weeks ago, its in the comments of the meeting page. [17:11] Right-oh looks like the actions might not quite be right - I'll take it off. [17:11] no I skipped last week ;) [17:11] it was a carry over [17:14] jamespage, It is making it progress.. [17:15] It looks fixed, but requires verification [17:15] .. [17:15] OK - do you need any action from this team? I'm happy to have a go at testing it [17:15] jamespage, testing is MUCHLY appreciated [17:15] There is a known upgrade issue, which is currently being worked on [17:15] but fresh install testing would be really beneficial [17:16] [ACTION] jamespage to helpout with verification of euca-dhcp bug [17:16] ACTION received: jamespage to helpout with verification of euca-dhcp bug [17:16] thanks! [17:16] Next: ALL: Please review the current documentation (for Natty release) [17:16] Euca is currently looking adequate. === Tm_K is now known as Tm_T [17:16] Anyone else managed to find some time to review docs? === ubott2 is now known as ubottu [17:16] Well I know that I've not managed to; suggest that we carry that action [17:16] jamespage: once again, for the minutes, a link? [17:16] jamespage: I did but I can't figure out how to *fix* problems. [17:16] the server guide is no longer in the ubuntu-docs package.. not sure where exactly it lives [17:17] * SpamapS must end this line of speaking because compiz has just eaten itself... [17:17] hallyn: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Meeting (follow link at bottom of page) [17:17] So can anyone enlighten us on how to fix documentation issues? [17:17] it got removed into a pdf didnt it/ [17:18] well it has a bzr tree somewhere [17:18] zul: pdf + html [17:18] its all in docbook.. somewhere. :-P === nixternal_ is now known as nixternal [17:19] SpamapS: *cough* https://code.launchpad.net/~asommer/ubuntu-docs/serverguide [17:19] erm [17:19] that isn't the main location... is it?! [17:19] https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-docs/natty [17:19] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-docs maybe? [17:20] i dunno maybe we need to fire off an email to asommer then [17:21] Daviey: where did you find that? [17:21] Well it seems like there is some confusion; I'll pickup and action to try and find out...

[17:37] I wonder if I should pop up and crash the openstack summit for 1 day. :) [17:37] jamespage, at previous puppet camp, we ran an awstrial for them [17:37] Apr 25 - 29 I will be at the Openstack summit i santa clara, CA [17:37] it went over pretty well, and we're more mature in some respects.. we may want to offer that to them again. [17:38] Definitely get in contact with puppetlabs now so we can be more prepared. [17:38] smoser: OK suggest we pick that up separately - I'll ping you directly and we can take it from there [17:38] Would be extremely cool if it were an awstrial backed by UEC. :) [17:38] then again, that might require 4 or 5 NC's ;) [17:38] [TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh) [17:38] New Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh) [17:39] hggdh: over to you [17:39] k [17:39] still trying to find the culprit on bug 746751 [17:39] Launchpad bug 746751 in linux (Ubuntu) "kernel: [Firmware Bug]: the BIOS has corrupted hw-PMU resources (MSR 38d is 30)" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/746751 [17:39] for what its worth, awstrial could be backed by UEC. but its not useful. [17:39] pretty much all my time has been dedicated to this and kernel sru testing this week [17:40] and it is not helping much that I am getting extremely weird results on local KVM testing [17:40] .. [17:41] hggdh: weird? [17:41] hggdh: the bug report suggests that kvm by hand is fine? [17:42] hallyn: on the kernel SRU tests -- I get security failures, compiler stracktraces, the whole 9 yards [17:42] hggdh: ? [17:42] oh right [17:42] hggdh: jinkeys! I've not seen any of that [17:42] hallyn: I am currently running a lucid image copied over, and no issues so far [17:42] the same lucid image barfs in many different and instructive ways on my laptop [17:43] hggdh: faulty hardware? [17:43] well jdstrand had some bad kvm results too, but we never were able to figure it out [17:43] jjohansen: it might -- I am also seeing now what seems to be wireless errors [17:43] hggdh: is htere an open bug for that? [17:44] (so we can take this out of the meeting :) [17:44] OK so we do need to push on; [17:44] [TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb) [17:44] New Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb) [17:44] hallyn: we can talk after the meeting [17:44] Hi [17:44] hggdh: ok [17:45] So some time was spend on bug 634487 [17:45] * jdstrand needs to bisect that still...

[17:46] smb, is 634487 likely to be resolved this cycle? === Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-lunch [17:46] Tried a centos 5.0 install this week but was set back by the slight difference of yum upgrade to apt-get upgrade [17:47] Daviey, If amazon upgrade... yes [17:47] Otherwise I still have no clue what happens because I cannot look outside [17:48] Daviey, The bug seems to be some interaction between xen hypervisor and the kernel. And it looks like newer Xen works [17:48] right, I find it unlikely this one can be resolved [17:49] I guess the interesting part of natty failing is that this contains the 3 patches fiddling around with the interrrupt types used === Guest81911 is now known as MichealH === chuck_ is now known as zul [17:50] Which is iirc the changes we get asked to get for that problem... === MichealH is now known as Guest63779 === Guest63779 is now known as MichealH [17:51] smb: anything else from the kernel team? or any questions for smb? [17:51] On a sidenote I would have a patch now to make Hardy move to edge interrupts and the lucid updates just have hit the point of making them fasteoi... [17:51] smb, thanks! [17:51] * smb waits for questions [17:52] no questions, but comment to others [17:52] Oh one thing [17:52] jjohansen, wrote to mailing list asking for feedback [17:52] GIVE HIM SOME [17:52] hehe, thanks smoser [17:52] Has anybody exxperinece with using generic kernels under RHEL HVM? [17:52] "generic kernels" [17:52] as in kernel.org ? [17:53] IOW 10.04 but not the ec2 kernel [17:53] So lucid-generic [17:53] smb, well we know it doesnt work [17:53] jjohansen, How is your list of wishes coming on? [17:53] smoser, Then who sold that to the German LVM customer? [17:54] and i may have a bit more info for you.

[17:55] OK guys - we are running a little short on time; smoser, smb can you pick that issue up separately [17:55] please :-) [17:55] thread at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-cloud/2011-March/000577.html [17:55] ok ok. :) [17:55] [TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for the Documentation Team (sommer) [17:55] New Topic: Weekly Updates & Questions for the Documentation Team (sommer) [17:56] Guess that we have already discussed docs to death this week.

[17:58] SpamapS, I think hold fire for this week... [17:58] lets collate more ideas. [17:58] Although, talking of which... [17:58] Alright, I have a few that I'll be mailing about this week. [17:58] considering the activity of the mysql alternatives thread, expected some more input on the comparision wikipage [17:59] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/KnowledgeBase/FeatureComparison/MySQL [17:59] and perhaps a similar thing, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/KnowledgeBase/FeatureComparison/NetworkMonitoring [17:59] And finally....

[18:02] [TOPIC] Status: General Natty (apw / ogasawara) [18:02] New Topic: Status: General Natty (apw / ogasawara) [18:02] Last week we uploaded the 2.6.38-8.40 kernel which is based on the latest upstream stable v2.6.38.2. As Kernel Freeze is April 14, I plan to do another upload today for the patches queued in master-next and then a final upload before kernel freeze on Mon April 11 so that our builds are complete by the 14th. After kernel freeze we will transition to our SRU policy when submitting and accepting patches. See: [18:02] [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelUpdates and [18:02] [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/StablePatchFormat [18:02] Any uploads beyond kernel freeze will likely have to resolve a critical issue, otherwise, it'll have to wait for the first round of SRU's.

In this last case, [18:05] I directly pinged those parties that have provided the majority of the bug triage during our normally advertised bug days. [18:05] I also pressed those who continually ask me to review bugs (other than through the normal channels) to asist us in triaging [18:05] those bugs that they are bringing to my attention. It doesn't seem to have had the desired effect, so I'll be going back to [18:05] the e-mail and blog/tweet for advertisement of our bug days. The next bug day will be next Tuesday.

[21:05] well, just a designe, but evolved with Ubuntu and Lubuntu [21:05] designer [21:05] can you read me? [21:05] yep [21:05] rafaellaguna: are all your contributions to lubuntu? [21:06] part. a bit was for the Catalan loco team (translating, advertising, public "exposure") [21:06] rafaellaguna: your wiki page doesn't seem to mention much ubuntu-specific work outside of lubuntu. which ubuntu work have you been involved in? [21:06] that was for Ubuntu [21:06] (sorry my IRC session was a bit slow there for a bit) [21:07] Oh, and distributing and installing at children schools, musical masterclasses, etc [21:07] ...spreading a bit... [21:07] rafaellaguna: you mention that you did the graphics work for the lubuntu website, but I notice that it still uses the old-style ubuntu theming: http://lubuntu.net/ - have you done any work on it recently? [21:07] rafaellaguna: I'm not seeing much documentation of what you've done specifically for Ubuntu? [21:08] In Spain, Linux is not very known [21:08] We're currently redesigning the site (not just the icons you can see) [21:08] really? The catalan team is rather active [21:08] rafaellaguna: spreading ubuntu at schools is a great thing to do, that's something you should document on your wiki page for sure, and with details [21:09] sure, I'll do, but I think it's what we all must do [21:09] rafaellaguna, also is involved with #ubuntu-adverts [21:09] thanks, UndiDineD, yes, I'm collaborating [21:09] rafaellaguna: just the work isn't documented clearly on the wiki, do you have anyone else here to vouch for you fro the advertising team or the catalan loco ? [21:09] in Andalusia Linux is quite big too [21:09] We're planning to lauch flyers in Valencia for Installing Parties [21:10] i have no more questions [21:10] I've no more questions [21:10] * highvoltage neither [21:10] rafaellaguna: Sounds great.

[21:14] Hi there [21:14] hi RawChid [21:14] My name is Rachid and I live in the Netherlands. I've used linux now and then from 2004, but since 2007 I'm really enthusiastic about Ubuntu. [21:14] At the moment I'm finalizing my Master thesis in Computer Science and work part time as Java and php programmer. [21:15] My plan is to continue my current activities for Ubuntu NL which you can find on my wiki. [21:15] And in the long run I want to become more active in international teams. Most likely something with programming or packaging. === Thermi is now known as thermi [21:16] * highvoltage has no questions [21:16] RawChid: impressive wiki :D [21:16] \o/ [21:16] Thank you [21:16] No questions from me either.

[21:17] RawChid: the dutch loco ? are you involved in it ? [21:17] Yes, [21:18] in what way ? [21:18] RawChid: the Log section on your wiki page mentions that you organised a local Jam before. I think czajkowski wants to hear more about those kind of things [21:18] ツ great guy +1 from me he one of the members who activates loco initiatives [21:18] Well, currently my focus is on finishing the last translations for NAtty with the Dutch Translators [21:19] good translations are a great way to get ubuntu out there :) [21:19] highvoltage, sorry, me and Ronnie are organising a local Jam on April 16th [21:19] RawChid: great to hear [21:19] I've no more questions,.

[22:02] TeTeT: so can you tell us a bit about your work please? [22:02] I added myself late to the EMEA wiki as I intended to apply during the Asian meeting, but there was noone there this morning [22:02] usually said to me though :-P [22:02] TeTeT: if you want to postpone and come back at the next meeting when you have more testimonials, we'd be happy with that :D [22:03] TeTeT: sorry about that, welcome to our meeting :)n [22:03] highvoltage: tspindler [22:03] highvoltage: https://launchpad.net/~tspindler [22:03] I support Ubuntu since 2006 and work for Canonical since then [22:03] I am aware of TeTeT's work, so have no questions. [22:03] * ogra_ knows TeTeT since years and also knows his countelss hours he put into promoting ubuntu professionally [22:03] I filed quite a number of bugs, triaged some (mostly apt related lately) and fixed a few [22:03] no questions from me [22:03] TeTeT: What do you think about this new Windows 8's ribbon thing? [22:03] for the community the biggest chunk was probably the ubuntu desktop course [22:04] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop-course [22:04] nikyr0x: I don't know anything about it I fear [22:04] but as the desktop course is based on 8.04, it's a bit old by now [22:04] TeTeT: do you do any Ubuntu work outside of what's part of your Canonical job? [22:04] so I moved on to the new big things and UEC [22:04] stgraber: iulian comments? [22:04] highvoltage: yes, I do a fair bit of apt bug triaging during weekends [22:04] nope [22:05] No, good to go.

[22:07] I motion for sabdfl to be a deciding vote [22:07] heh [22:07] hah === shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer [22:07] was wondering who would be first to suggest that :) [22:07] * highvoltage looks up our charter just to be sure if we have something written about this [22:07] well [22:08] Hmm. [22:08] don't know if that is allowed or not but seems like a good idea to me [22:08] torsten has done a huge amount of amazing work getting ubuntu to star in some surprising places [22:08] ++ [22:08] let down by a hastily prepped wiki page? [22:08] we are very clear with canonical folks, that they should aspire to ubuntu membership, but it's about participation and contribution to ubuntu, not canonical [22:09] if you need an updated wiki page I can come back in a month or two and try again, no big issue for me [22:09] in this case, i would happily +1 TeTeT, but i think if he came back with a better wiki page documenting what he's already done [22:09] it wouldn't need a bdfl [22:09] great [22:09] TeTeT: that ok by you? [22:09] sabdfl: so would that be a +1 or +0 from you? [22:09] If it was possible I'd have voted +0.5 because of the wiki page, I'm fine switching it to a +1 if that helps [22:09] i dont think sabdfl is suggesting he votes [22:09] definitely +1 but i think TeTeT might want to come back and take care of this himself? [22:10] TeTeT has offered to edit the page, come back next month, should be a breeze. [22:10] sabdfl: fine for me [22:10] sounds like a plan to me [22:10] ok, that sounds good [22:10] I think if he comes back with a more detailed wiki page with testiminoals like other wiki pages I'd change my vote [22:10] awesome, and from me, thanks for all you've done [22:10] [endvote] [22:10] Final result is 3 for, 0 against. 3 abstained. Total: 3 [22:10] majic! [22:10] fair enough, thanks [22:10] we have one last late entrant [22:10] TeTeT: please do come back again with testimonals on your wiki page :) === hajour_ is now known as hajour [22:10] sabdfl: thanks :) [22:10] who arrived on the list because the AsiaPac board failed to meet [22:11] * iulian refreshes the page.

[22:12] popey: working through the list now [22:13] thanks pleia2 [22:13] I asked for volunteers to help post and I ask for recipients to request them. [22:13] head_victim: there's more responsibilies on loco teams now for distributing CD's, so it would be great if you could share information about it [22:13] impressive wiki page and lots of testimonials :D [22:13] highvoltage: I lined up people and organised it that way so the cost of postage wasn't all on one persons head [22:13] Hm, indeed. [22:13] I cheer for head_victim -- I'd like to advocate head_victim in every way I can. I feel that he is everything and Ubuntu Member should be, and really raises the bar in a way I don't often see. head_victim is outstandingly nice and overly helpful. His work in the Ubuntu Beginners Team is commendable, and very consistent. I have zero qualms with changing head_victim's email in my contact book to @ubuntu.com, that's for sure. Please consider his [22:13] I'm a wiki nerd sorry. [22:13] thanks paultag ! [22:14] providing he posts up some info about the AU CD program, of course :) [22:14] head_victim: no it's great!

[22:17] * JFo lurks [22:17] I hear Technoviking is on flaky wifi [22:17] o/ [22:17] o/ [22:17] work is going to drag me off in a few minutes though [22:17] I'm on ethernet now, should be good [22:17] we're missing dholbach, mako, persia, mdke [22:18] [TOPIC] Governance Boards (staffing, feedback/reports) [22:18] ethernet. sounds like medication ;-) [22:18] New Topic: Governance Boards (staffing, feedback/reports) [22:18] over to you pleia2 [22:18] so the first concern is the low number of nominees for our latest restaffing call for the regional boards [22:19] any thoughts on how we can improve this? (anyone can reply, we need ideas!) [22:19] press gang people into doing it [22:19] currently it's announced to a few mailing lists and posted to ubuntu-news [22:19] hehe [22:19] perhaps more info on what board people do? what it entails, kinda like a mini interview and get it translated [22:19] popey: that certainly won't help with getting quorum for meetings :) [22:19] make it an obligation of membership :) [22:19] I got a few pms asking what was needed and the times it is on at [22:19] for reference, this is what our last call looked like: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-news-team/2011-January/001245.html [22:20] I think encouraging "younger" ubuntu members to apply for these spots, a lot of people are fearful of applying to something they can full well handle [22:20] it's tough to keep picking from the oldest few percent [22:21] some of it will be due to people unsure if they can commit to a time for ~2 years [22:21] czajkowski: suggestions on what to add to such an announcement are quite welcome (it includes time and obligations, filling in what is missing would be great) [22:21] pleia2: time is a big issue, and perhaps it should be noted, that the time slot could be changed as well in order to get more people to take part. [22:21] it's true, the equivalent responsibility fell on very young shoulders the first years of the project, there's only a requirement for good judgement and a commitment to the project, matched with a willingness to say know when it doesn't feel right [22:22] should we consider splitting the timezones differently? [22:22] I still think we should have one board [22:22] and replace people who don't turn up [22:22] I think both the EMEA and Americas boards do ok time zone wise, I think APAC is a problem because it covers half the world [22:22] I'm for replacing pepole who dont turn up [22:22] but not one board [22:23] I suggested to dholbach that we have a session to discuss this at UDS [22:23] if we can't find enough people to staff the three boards we currently have, I can't see us finding enough people to staff more boards (assuming APAC was split) [22:24] maybe we should give up on doing this over irc? [22:24] we've tried doing this over mailing list and that thread got long and didn't go anywhere [22:24] is this an invitation to apply ? [22:24] oh, I mean this discussion :) [22:24] pleia2: we;ve found doing it via a bug for the LC re approvals and them making it public after it [22:24] so we can poke people to vote and hurry up [22:25] czajkowski: I hadn't even thought about that [22:25] mailing list decisions need to have a defined time - saying that there will be a vote X days after an application is submitted [22:25] the bug idea is interesting [22:25] would it not be easier to have people just fill in a google form, and each of the board members reads at their leisure and ticks the boxes. [22:25] I do think anything on a mailing list or not on IRC needs a time-frame [22:25] pleia2: IRC doesn';t always work, but a bug does and you can track it and then kick people to go vote when they need to do so [22:25] czajkowski: *nod* [22:25] UndiFineD: no, we're trying to understand how to shape this, not seeking applicants right now, but an email to the cc would be appreciated! [22:25] why not try it with one board as a test case and see how it goes?> [22:25] As a *very* recent applicant the bug idea sounds great to me. [22:26] +1 to bugs, the LC uses it really well [22:26] I have the code in lp:locolint === Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-bbl [22:26] what about contentious cases? [22:27] if we're brainstorming, what about a SAAS solution like Taleo [22:27] do we have many of those? [22:27] we use it for hiring, but essentially, it supports a gated interview / review / decision process [22:27] it's SAAS and not afaik FLOSS [22:28] but it might work very well, and serve as an inspiration to someone to knock up a FLOSS version [22:28] sabdfl: we open all the LC bugs after we;ve voted just keep ir private so we can poke the others to vote and hurry people up [22:28] right, but if you're going to open it up, you can't speak very frankly about downsides to the application [22:29] i suppose IRC has the same issue :-) [22:29] sabdfl: it's no different then IRC [22:29] aye :) [22:29] exactly [22:29] ok, +1 from me [22:29] irc is quite public at the moment, so closing it may not be a good idea [22:29] and everyone is respectful either way on irc or on a bug [22:29] i dont mind what tool is used, just something less synchronous [22:29] can we agree to try it? [22:29] something easy to use that people don't feel is too onerous would be good [22:29] something where people can fill in answers to specific questions we always ask might be beneficial [22:30] is this a proposal for APAC specifically, because of TZ's, if it works we could encourage other DMB's to do so? [22:30] yeah === s1aden is now known as sladen [22:30] +1 [22:30] I fine with trying this idea, +1 [22:30] again :-) [22:30] ok, maybe we brainstorm this more, bring it to the councils list and revisit at the next meeting? [22:30] with that, you wouldn't need to have people from the APAC region on the board [22:31] if you like the EMEA can be a test board... [22:31] and we can report next month ? [22:32] yup [22:32] sorry, I appear to be lagging [22:33] EMEA as test board sounds good [22:33] if you like I cna blog about this tomorrow and explain what wil happen to next months meeting and then we can re blog and let people know again closer to the time [22:34] czajkowski: hold off the blogging until we have talked to the rmb about it :) [22:34] okie dokie [22:35] the other portion of this regional boards this is feedback/reports, popey brought up a concern about boards having different standards and it was suggested to go back to reporting a list of new members to -news and -CC (Dev board and Americas still do this, but the other RMBs don't) so there is further review by more eyes than those who just watch lp additoins to ~ubuntumembers [22:35] +1 [22:35] plus it gets their names in UWN :) (once UWN comes back...) [22:35] their == new members [22:35] I loved having my name in UWN way back then :) [22:35] we (EMEA) can certainly start doing that. [22:35] oh, for the days when new developers were announced to ubuntu-devel :) === Krunch_ is now known as Krunch [22:36] Americas also copies the emails we send out to the monthly TeamReports, so it shows up there too along other councils [22:36] ok, so is that two agreed items for EMEA? trialling bugs for membership, and sending out notifications of new members? [22:37] that's all from me (and I need to run back to work anyway :)) [22:37] if we use an async mechanism, do we need tz-specific RMB's? [22:37] well, exactly [22:38] probably not [22:38] no, though I think there'd be some time trialling it before you merge them all into one [22:38] ok, sounds like a rough guide, let's trial it and see [22:38] that a wrap? [22:39] Anyone got anything else? [22:39] (I dont) [22:40] ok, lets end it there then. [22:40] #endmeeting [22:40] Meeting finished at 16:40. [22:40] thanks all [22:40] thanks! [22:44] phew [22:44] thanks all [22:44] CC, i think we should setup a phone call [22:45] we have a lot to discuss, and it's been a very long time since we spoke by voice [22:45] I'm on vacation 8-16, but otherwise my schedule is pretty flexible for a call [22:47] ok, i'll send out a mail
