MootBotNew Topic:  Oneiric Development17:04
DavieyHello!17:04
DavieyNo doubt everyone is still recovering from the rather successful week at UDS in Budapest last week.17:04
DavieyWhilst the sessions are still fresh in our mind, we need to turn to adding work items to the blueprints.  We should strive to have a first draft of blueprints done by the end of the week.  Some blueprints do not yet have a drafter assigned.  Between myself and Robbie, these will be allocated amongst the team with a a best effort of fair and logical choice.17:04
smoser(note, i did not send out meeting minutes after 2011-04-19, or add a meeitn page. i will do that now)17:04

SpamapSTotally worthless right now, but thought I'd share.17:04
Davieyi know smoser will cry if i paste it here.17:04
Davieyand when not spec'ing... merge, merge, merge!17:05
smoserif only we had services that could take a paste and turn it into a link.17:06
DavieyBut blueprints our the priority right now :)17:06
smoseror a tool that could do that from stdin17:06
SpamapSand when not merging, triage! We're ridiculously behind17:06
Davieysmoser, is that possible?17:06
DavieySpamapS, yes - well caught.17:06

SpamapS[TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)17:09
MootBotNew Topic:  Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (hggdh)17:09
SpamapShggdh: good morning!17:09
hggdhgood morning17:09
hggdhwe are still working on the changes for this cycle, so input on what we should test for is welcome17:10
SpamapShggdh: I'd be curious to hear how the build-time testing PPA that you had worked out last cycle.17:10
SpamapSMeant to ask at UDS17:10
hggdhit is there ;-) but we are not running a lot of builds17:11
Davieyhggdh, Is it documented anywhere?17:11
hggdhwhat we are looking for is to add in more packages with build-time checks (like, say, coreutils)17:11
hggdhjust a sec and I will get the current list17:11
SpamapSI get a failure for pkgbinarymangler in my email quite often17:12
hggdhyes -- have to talk with pitti about that, been in the backburner17:12
SpamapShggdh: shouldn't we be opening bugs for any failures we see?17:12
hggdhwe can -- perhaps we should, actually17:13
hggdhso I will start doing it17:13
Davieyhggdh, \o/17:13
SpamapSI would almost think we could automate it, except we're limited in what recipes can do.17:13
hggdhI also have to update it for building on oneiric17:13
SpamapSCool, well anyway, anything else to report? Otherwise I think we'll move on.17:14
* Daviey ^5's hggdh 17:14
hggdhmove on, dear sir, move on. Just please note that we need more packages on the daily build17:15
SpamapS[TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb)17:15
MootBotNew Topic:  Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb)17:15
smbgood tod17:15
smbI would have two questions17:15
smbOne, to smoser, I was digging for the srpm for a amazon ami kernel. Does the get_reference_source command ring a bell to you?17:16
smosersmb, yeah, i gave you that in the etherpad17:16
smoserthats what you need to use17:16
smoserthat will get you an SRPM17:16
smbsmoser, damn missed that there somehow17:17
smbOk thanks17:17
smbThe other thing is iscsitarget17:17
Davieyerk.17:17
smbCurrently there is two versions one ubuntu specific driver in the kernel and a dkms package. The kernel version currently does not compile (maybe got a fix there) and the dkms likely will fail on install17:18
smbProbably first thing to ask, do we have hardware to test this thing?17:18
adam_gwhich driver are we talkin about? ietd or the newer upstream generic target framework?17:18
smbSecond would be whether it being a dkms module would be sufficient, so we could drop the kernel one17:19
smbiscsi_trgt.ko17:19
SpamapScan't it be tested using tgt ?17:19
hggdh(for the record: daily build for Natty: libvirt postgresql-8.4 mysql-5.1 openldap php5 python2.7 coreutils clamav cups gcc gdb pkgbinarymangler pkg-create-dbgsym)17:20
* smb was hoping the server team knew how to test. :-P17:20
SpamapShggdh: ty17:20
adam_gyou can test using any block device/LV or raw file within a virtual machine17:20
smosersmb, just forwarded you mention of this: https://silverline.librato.com/blog/main/EC2_Users_Should_be_Cautious_When_Booting_Ubuntu_10_04_AMIs17:21
smbadam_g, Hm, ok. Maybe there is some simple howto for the setup...?17:21
* Daviey fears adam_g just signed up to help test it :)17:21
smbsmoser, ookay...17:21
adam_gsmb: ive worked with it a bunch in the past, its very easy to setup (assuming we're talking about the same iscsi target)17:21
adam_gsure, i can help17:21
zulwait i thought tgt got promoted to main or something17:22
SpamapSFilename: pool/main/t/tgt/tgt_1.0.13-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb17:22
smbThat would be cool17:22
* zul shuts up17:22
Davieyadam_g / smb  (http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ServeriSCSIRoot/KVMExample)17:22
SpamapSsmb: I had a general question about bugs that we think might be kernel related..17:23
smbzul, package seems in universe for oneiric still17:23
smbSpamapS, Ok17:23
smbDaviey, Thanks17:23
* RoAkSoAx thinkgs that adam_g just signed up to write documentation and test it :)17:23
SpamapSsmb: thus far I've just added a task against the 'linux' source package and left it as New. Does that work within the kernel triaging framework? Like, will it ever be seen that way?17:23
smbSpamapS, I started to use a tag to make them searchable for me and give JFo some hints. Reminds me that I need to tell him (and you now) which exactöly17:24
adam_gyes, i can help with iscsi testing/docs. im still a bit unclear as to which target we're using (im the new guy), since there a few17:25
SpamapSsmb: if you don't have the tag list handy, you can send it to me offline later and I'll include it in the minutes.17:25
smbSpamapS, Here it is, I user kernel-server17:26
smbused even17:26
SpamapSadam_g: you can always assert which one you think we *should* be using.17:26
SpamapSsmb: ty17:26
SpamapSok, moving on?17:26
adam_gSpamapS: certainly17:26
smbOk, I think I got a lot to work on17:26
smbadam_g, Will come back to you in case I need more info. :)17:27
SpamapS[TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions from the Ubuntu Community17:27
MootBotNew Topic:  Weekly Updates & Questions from the Ubuntu Community17:27
adam_gsmb: yeah, id like to find out which the kernel team prefers, as theres been a lot of work in this area upstream the last couple of kernels17:27
DavieyFor community...17:28
DavieyJust a note that peer reviews of blueprints will be appreciated.17:28
hggdhand test proposals ;-)17:29
DavieyYes!17:29
zuland SRUs17:29
Davieyand ensemble recipies :)17:29
SpamapSPretty much anything short of insults to our mothers will be appreciated. :)17:29
DavieyThis cycle we should see more interaction, and areas of oppertunity.17:29
zulwe are that easy :)17:29
SpamapSI think we should also start thinking about acknowledging just how much of the Debian Development effort is centered around servers, and therefore, part of our community.17:30

itnet7Or rather if they already have PPA's for the team, I mean?21:10

paultagDraZoro: it "works", but not nearly as good as I'd like, the Marble-widget Qt stuff is not really designed to be a GPS21:34
DraZoropaultag: I am getting there21:34
paultagDraZoro: :) let me know if I can help21:35
DraZoropaultag: I have not yet compiled it ...I still have to install libqt4-dev or qt3-dev-tools21:36
DraZoropaultag: Just that internet is very limited for me ...but I will make a plan21:36
paultagDraZoro: aye! :) you have to run fg with an enable telnet feature (it uses the socket to talk flight gear with the app)21:36
MrChrisDruifLoCo Council meeting?21:36
paultagDraZoro: I was planning to fix it up after I get some time :)21:37
xardas008MrChrisDruif: is over now21:37
paultagMrChrisDruif: it was :)21:37
paultagMrChrisDruif: have something you need? We have the bar until 5:0021:37
paultag(my time)21:37
DraZoropaultag: Let work more on my coding .....I will be done with exams on 24 May ...from there I will dedicate +- 10 hours on ubuntu work per day21:37
DraZoropaultag: If I work hard I might be fixing it :)21:37
paultagDraZoro: don't burn out! :) -- if you end up fixing up fgdash, I'd be so stoked :)21:37
* DraZoro is happy his fluxbox is get better 21:38
MrChrisDruifpaultag; I'll assume that is about 20 mins ;) Anyhow, was there any progress in the Dutch LoCo as far as you know?21:38
paultagOh wait, whoh21:38
paultagfbdesk, I thought you meant my little app fgdash21:38
paultagoh, right right. fbdesk is confusing too, but I did not write that :)21:38
DraZoropaultag: I mean fgdash21:38
paultagOh, awesome awesome :)21:39
paultagDraZoro: I'm glad fluxbox is rocking for you21:39
paultagMrChrisDruif: humm.21:39
paultagMrChrisDruif: let me go through my records for anything, one sec21:39
DraZoropaultag : Yeah just have to configure urxvt-unicode to show colours ....21:39
MrChrisDruifpaultag; I've got time, next meeting is mine...well, of the UBT Wiki FG ;)21:40
DraZoropaultag: I get used to this stuff of reading and following manuals21:40
paultagMrChrisDruif: yes, and it's in great shape. We had a bit of a bump when we ignored a mail for about 4 months, but we tried to get back21:40
paultagMrChrisDruif: sense is doing a great job21:40
paultagDraZoro: aye! :)21:40
paultagMrChrisDruif: Oh, awesome!!21:40
paultagMrChrisDruif: I'll stick around for it (and if you need the place early, we're not doing anything)21:40
MrChrisDruifAlright, good to hear. Any notice about when we might be an approved LoCo again?21:40
paultagMrChrisDruif: We've recieved no application yet, but sense mentioned waiting until the new structure is in place21:41
MrChrisDruifMeh, mail etc said 9 PM UTC, so we're still cool21:41
paultagMrChrisDruif: which I support totally21:41
DraZoropaultag: There more I get back to the code for fgdash there more I figure out I am still in level 121:41
* DraZoro hopes will pass a patch soon to paultag 21:41
paultagDraZoro: fgdash can be confusing because it uses so much Qt21:41
paultagDraZoro: please!!! :)21:41
paultagpeople have no idea how much I *LOVE* patches21:41
paultagthey make my day21:41
DraZoropaultag : I know better21:42
paultag:P21:43

MrChrisDruifThanks :)22:04
xardas008welcome22:04
MrChrisDruifThanks again :)22:04
UndiFineDafter some time in the dark, it is great to pick this team up again and get going22:05
MrChrisDruifIndeed, +122:05
UndiFineD[TOPIC] tag pages22:05
MootBotNew Topic:  tag pages22:05
UndiFineDOne of our first and important works will be to tag pages22:06
UndiFineDas requested, find pages that can be deleted22:06
MrChrisDruifLike 8.04 and older?22:06
head_victimAs long as it's not something that can be reworked to make it relevant22:06
UndiFineDyes, 8.04 went EOL last month22:07
UndiFineDso they should be save to be marked22:07
MrChrisDruifAs long as there's no relevant info on it of course22:07
eaespinoza0I'm here22:08
MrChrisDruifGreat, you've made it eaespinoza022:08
UndiFineDhowever, any admins around ? we can not delete them immediatly, we still need to see if there is important information on them that needs to be rewritten for current and future page versions22:08
MrChrisDruifThat reminds me...22:08
head_victimUndiFineD: I was looking at becoming and admin but not one yet22:08
UndiFineDwell, with the big clean ups we have at hand, it might be safer not to have that right just yet22:09
UndiFineDother things we are looking for are for example: pages that mention shipit22:10
xardas008that should be easily done by searching for that keyword22:11
UndiFineDjust comment those things out I think22:11
MrChrisDruifIt should refer to the ShipIt page is what I am thinking. No need to duplicate data22:11
xardas008i found a paragraph just yesterday22:11
MrChrisDruifIt still exist right? But no longer free afaik22:11
UndiFineDare there any more of those silly things everyne forgot about ?22:11
head_victimMrChrisDruif: shipit as it was is gone, you can buy them through the store is my understanding22:12
UndiFineDoverall, there are +4000 community wiki pages22:12
MrChrisDruifHow do you mean UndiFineD ?22:12
UndiFineDI do not expect them to be done overnight22:13
UndiFineDhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UndiFineD/documentation22:13
xardas008ok shipit seem to be just 4 pages22:13
UndiFineDI did that in a week22:13
MrChrisDruifJust have them ready at next meeting ;)22:13
eaespinoza0may I ask what is shipit?22:14
head_victimUndiFineD: Tagging makes it easier for those of us who don't have lots of time to trawl to get in and make changes22:14
DraZoroeaespinoza0: A free ubuntu cd service which Conanical use to provide22:15
UndiFineDnow what I started to do there was marking nearly every page with tags:  <<Include(Tag/ContentCleanup)>> <<Include(Tag/StyleCleanup)>> <<Include(Tag/NeedsExpansion)>>22:15
UndiFineDthat is NOT the way, so I corrected myself22:16
UndiFineDinstead we really should work here with the documentation team on creating and refreshing pages22:16
UndiFineDpreferrable in mallard xml format22:16
MrChrisDruifSo we do not mark the pages, but instead work on them?22:17
MrChrisDruifWork on those that have been tagged*22:17
UndiFineDwell, you do not want to leave some 4000 pages all hooked up with tags that they need altering22:18
UndiFineDit is not very community friendly22:18
MrChrisDruifxD22:18
MrChrisDruifBut what I said was correct?22:19
UndiFineDinstead pick a (few) pages for reservation and rework them as part of the Summer of Documentation22:19
UndiFineDby placing those pages on the SoD list you mark them22:20
UndiFineDso yes MrChrisDruif22:20
MrChrisDruifAlright, I think that this is clear, maybe move to the next topic?22:21
UndiFineDany comments or questions ?22:21
MrChrisDruifAnd thanks for explaining UndiFineD :)22:21
UndiFineD[TOPIC] Style guide22:22
MootBotNew Topic:  Style guide22:22
eaespinoza0[AGREED]22:22
UndiFineDthe documentation team is wanting to rework their style guide, great, Mallard has some default styles that are listed in some UDS blueprint that I forgot to copy22:23
UndiFineDI can look it up but would taks me some time22:24
MrChrisDruifeaespinoza0; Those [COMMAND] things are for the chair, you don't need to use them :)22:24
eaespinoza0ok22:24
UndiFineDI will send that off on the ML latoron if thats ok22:24
xardas008ok22:25
MrChrisDruifSure I guess :)22:25
eaespinoza0what's ML latoron?22:25
UndiFineDit has some mentionings like copyright, email etc22:25
MrChrisDruifeaespinoza0; ML = Mailing-list22:25
UndiFineDeaespinoza0, Mailing list - later on22:25
MrChrisDruifLatoron should be later on22:25
eaespinoza0understand!22:26
eaespinoza0it's ok for me22:26
UndiFineD[TOPIC] Mallard xml22:26
MootBotNew Topic:  Mallard xml22:26
MrChrisDruifBut the doc team is changing/updating it's style?22:26
UndiFineDnow my guess is most of us do not know what mallard is exactly or how to write it, even I who looked into it, would prefer some lessons22:27
eaespinoza0agree!22:27
UndiFineDMrChrisDruif, yes, but it is already pretty well defined, just not very visible22:27
MrChrisDruifAlright, so we can read all about it in the ML?22:28
xardas008i hear of it the first time22:28
xardas008but xml is not that difficult22:28
UndiFineDis there anyone who does know how to write mallard and could give us some help in that ?22:28
MrChrisDruifBecause of the agenda I heard about it before today22:28
UndiFineDthere is http://projectmallard.org/about/learn/index.html22:28
MrChrisDruifMaybe we could ask someone from #ubuntu-doc22:29
head_victimUndiFineD: so where does mallard sit in the scheme of things, I assumed, probably incorrectly, it was just a way of putting help files in Ubuntu but from what you're saying it is actually a way of writing wiki pages?22:29
UndiFineDhead_victim, mallard is the chosen way of writing documentation, it can be converted to wiki or system documentation or ubuntu manual22:31
MrChrisDruifAnd what is the effect of mallard to the wiki pages? New syntax?22:31
UndiFineDso, once written, we can transform it to all of them22:31
MrChrisDruifAlright, so it's like a unified base for all three systems in place? :)22:31
MrChrisDruif*that are in place*22:31
UndiFineDI actually suggested, to hack on fckeditor that could produce mallard and moin wiki format22:32
xardas008seems that mallard uses internally the functionallity of xslt22:32
UndiFineDxardas008, might be, did not read into the finer details yet22:33
MrChrisDruif[LINK] http://projectmallard.org/about/learn/index.html22:33
MootBotLINK received:  http://projectmallard.org/about/learn/index.html22:33
MrChrisDruifThanks MootBot22:33
xardas008xslt is an xml processor for transforming so this was my first thought22:33
UndiFineD:)22:33
UndiFineDyeah that seems quite logic xardas008 , thanks22:34
UndiFineDwell, I think we need to find ourselves a teacher here22:34
xardas008looks not very difficult on the first sight22:35
* phillw will collar someone from the docs team to get in touch.22:35
UndiFineDjbicha ?22:35
MrChrisDruifThanks phillw, I didn't want it on my plate just yet :)22:35
phillwis oaky, I'm on thier ML anyway :)22:35
UndiFineDthank phillw22:35
UndiFineD[TOPIC] help.ubuntu.com22:36
MootBotNew Topic:  help.ubuntu.com22:36
MrChrisDruif[ACTION] phillw will collar someone from the docs team to teach Mallard22:36
MrChrisDruifMeh...22:36
UndiFineDas I understand this will be one of the primairy sources of information in english and for LoCo languages22:36
MrChrisDruifUndiFineD; copy my action post22:36
UndiFineD[ACTION] phillw will collar someone from the docs team to teach Mallard22:37
MootBotACTION received:  phillw will collar someone from the docs team to teach Mallard22:37
MrChrisDruifThanks :)22:37
UndiFineDthat would likely look something like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/nl/index.html (404)22:38
MrChrisDruifSource of that info? As I think it's odd in my eyes that the LoCo teams would use it.22:38
UndiFineDthis comes from UDS too22:38
MrChrisDruifOr would it just move all the LoCo pages to the help.u.c place?22:38
head_victimMrChrisDruif: the loco reference is for non english speaking loco's22:39
MrChrisDruifhead_victim; That's why I thought it was odd22:39
UndiFineDthe default english pages would be put up for translation, and offers the benefit of a central repository for all languages help22:39
UndiFineDI do not think this is a question any more and will happen22:40
jbichaUndiFineD: sorry I've got too much going on this week22:40
UndiFineDit allows for online help from the desktop applications22:40
MrChrisDruifThat would be nice, but a lot of the doc items are already translated? The docs supplied with the installation for instance?22:40
UndiFineDjbicha, thats ok22:40
jbichahttp://projectmallard.org/ and there's a decent amount of gnome help in the format already, just check the source code and copy the good parts22:41
MootBotLINK received:  http://projectmallard.org/ and there's a decent amount of gnome help in the format already, just check the source code and copy the good parts22:41
jbichayikes, it's a bot22:41
UndiFineDheh22:41
MrChrisDruifOnly problem was that it recieved a [LINK] without the command ;)22:41
UndiFineDMrChrisDruif, the current documentation loco teams have, they can keep it, but would likely become out of date in the future22:42
MrChrisDruifOr maybe a good opportunity to let the LoCo help with the move?22:42
MrChrisDruifMaybe even get some extra admins? O:-)22:43
* MrChrisDruif is hopeful ;)22:43
UndiFineDI suggested that too, that the loco's get help transforming22:43
UndiFineDmmm, depending on the new structure, we might need to reform the community part as well22:45
UndiFineDjust thought of this22:45
head_victimNew structure of what?22:45
MrChrisDruifReform the community?22:45
MrChrisDruifNew structure?22:45
UndiFineDbeing relative the same as the official help22:45
UndiFineDhttps://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/nl/index.html (404)22:46
UndiFineDis what I think it may look like22:46
UndiFineDthe url that is22:46
MrChrisDruifUndiFineD; That's a 404 with me22:46
MrChrisDruifAs in not findable22:47
xardas008it was just an example for the url not the page22:47
MrChrisDruifThat way the docs would get VERY version dependent =-O22:47
UndiFineDcurrently we have pages named like JapaneseFontsSetup22:47
UndiFineDbad example, as it may have 2 meanings22:48
UndiFineDbut might need to be renamed to 11.04/jp/fonts/setup22:48
spynappelsDoes that mean that there may be multiple versions of a page?22:49
MrChrisDruifMaybe without the version22:49
spynappelsone version for each supported release?22:49
MrChrisDruifAnd explain possible difference on the page22:49
spynappelsor can they be linked?22:49
spynappelslike a "symlink"22:49
xardas008when i understood that correct it should be an online help for the programs in ubuntu? So it is by default version independent22:49
MrChrisDruifOr redirect from the new page to the old if things haven't changed22:49
UndiFineDspynappels, there is <<include>> :)22:49
MrChrisDruifSpynappels?22:50
spynappelsyes?22:50
MrChrisDruifOw....never noticed it was your nick, sorry :)22:50
spynappelsno prob22:50
UndiFineDoften the best way here, is to recreate the pages and mark the old ones for deletion with comment pointing to the new url22:51
MrChrisDruifUndiFineD; So just include the older page?22:51
* MrChrisDruif doesn't get it. Recreate the page, mark old onces for deletion?22:51
UndiFineDJapaneseFontsSetup to 11.04/jp/fonts/setup22:52
spynappelsThen would it be an idea to maintain a master page with all pertinent information and include that with any version specific changes/additions?22:52
UndiFineDpage JapaneseFontsSetup is tagged for deletion and in comment there is a pointer to the new 11.04/jp/fonts/setup22:52
UndiFineDthis is not the greatest example22:52
UndiFineDspynappels, that is why we have our Summer of Documentation project :)22:53
UndiFineDyou mark a pages as yours in remake22:53
MrChrisDruifI think it's better to redirect then to delete22:54
MrChrisDruifThat way when people have bookmarked a page they get to the new page instead of an empty page22:54
xardas008or maybe only delete after support time is over?22:55
phillw+122:55
MrChrisDruifphillw; Yeah, I learn quickly ;)22:55
UndiFineDyeah, that might be a great idea22:55
spynappels@xardas008 That seems a reasonable suggestion, natural wastage will get rid of the pages eventually anyway22:56
jbichaI don't think putting a version number as part of every page's title is a good idea22:56
phillwI am loathe to delete a page. If it is a couple of years out of date, then yeah.22:56
head_victimjbicha: I concur, it will require a large effort each release to check, confirm and copy each page for every release22:56
jbichayou could use a category & a table of contents heirarchy to mark a set of pages for a particular version22:56
phillwbut redirects are the best way.22:56
jbichathat way it could be in multiple versions easily22:57
MrChrisDruif+1 on jbicha22:57
UndiFineDjbicha, it would make community more compatible with the official help22:57
UndiFineDjbicha, that is also true22:57
jbichawell the Desktop Guide only has the version number in it because that's where it's stored, it doesn't require renaming pages22:57
MrChrisDruifUndiFineD; I think that it will be defined in the Styling Guide?22:57
spynappelsit would also make updating easier, if a release is no longer supported, only a small section needs to be removed.22:57
UndiFineDjbicha, well I think we go with that for now then, only need to make versionable categories then22:58
MrChrisDruifspynappels; There are a lot of pages22:59
UndiFineDspynappels, +400022:59
MrChrisDruifSo "a small" section I wouldn't call it.22:59
UndiFineDI would like to wrap this topic and move on22:59
MrChrisDruifBut UndiFineD, won't it be defined in the new styling guide?22:59
UndiFineDI hope so :)23:00
MrChrisDruifAlright, then I think it's indeed time for the next [TOPIC]23:00
UndiFineD[TOPIC] Summer of Documentation 201123:00
MootBotNew Topic:  Summer of Documentation 201123:00
UndiFineDyes I am skipping Ubuntu Manual23:01
MrChrisDruifUndiFineD; There is no meeting planned after this one, so it's alright if we run late23:01
MrChrisDruifWe are already running late ;)23:01
xardas008MrChrisDruif: but i will fell asleep soon i think xD23:02
UndiFineDfor the 4th year in a row we have our Summer of Documentation projects, most details are already given above23:02

UndiFineDthere are some more pages to be expected to be put up there by people, but feel free to pick some and add your name to the list of the pages you want to rework23:03
MrChrisDruifAlright23:03
UndiFineDThis can be all across the *buntu family including Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu23:04
MrChrisDruifMaybe add that Ubuntu Manual accessibility to that page?23:04
MrChrisDruifYay for Lubuntu :D23:04
MrChrisDruif\o/23:05
UndiFineDMrChrisDruif, AlanBell actually wrote something up yesterday they might be able to use23:05
MrChrisDruifAlright, great :)23:05
UndiFineDso Last point MrChrisDruif23:06
UndiFineD[TOPIC] Regular meetings23:06
MootBotNew Topic:  Regular meetings23:06
MrChrisDruifAlright, I think UndiFineD would agree with me (as he started with a comment similar) I would like to have regular intervals between the meetings23:06
UndiFineDI do23:07
UndiFineDwhat would be good ? 2 weeks a month ?23:07
MrChrisDruifI don't think bi-monthly meeting is a bit long, so either a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly meeting would be great :)23:07
UndiFineDanyone else ?23:08
MrChrisDruifxardas008 fell asleep ;)23:08
xardas008not yet xD23:08
xardas008depends on the topics i think23:08
xardas008if there are important ones weekly would be good, but bi-weekly is also enough i think23:09
UndiFineDwell as I have shown above all the topics are linked, so they are most likely to stay23:09
MrChrisDruifI think I would be a +1 on bi-weekly23:09
UndiFineDwe just get more into the details23:09
MrChrisDruifWeekly is a bit much :D23:09
UndiFineDit has a +1 from me too23:10
MrChrisDruifIMHO anyway23:11
MrChrisDruifAlright...so bi-weekly?23:11
xardas008+123:11
MrChrisDruifAlright...same day?23:11
phillwprovided someone pokes me before it starts :)23:12
UndiFineDseems agreeable next meeting then somewhere in 2 weeks, timing with a more flexible doodle23:12
MrChrisDruifEven more flexible? :P23:12
UndiFineDsince some people could not make it tonight23:12
MrChrisDruifOnly 3 of the 9 couldn't make it tonight23:13
UndiFineDwell, I think that is it for tonight.23:13
UndiFineDany thing else ?23:13
MrChrisDruifOne of which has stops all activity on freenode23:13
MrChrisDruifstopped*23:13
UndiFineD:/23:14
MrChrisDruifI'd like to set the next meeting if that's alright23:14
UndiFineDno doodle ?23:14
MrChrisDruifPreferably not O:-)23:14
MrChrisDruifAnyone?23:15
UndiFineDphillw, xardas008 ?23:15
xardas008hm?23:16
UndiFineDhead_victim, ?23:16
MrChrisDruifNext meeting; doodle or set it now23:16
phillwI'm pretty flexible on times23:16
UndiFineDeaespinoza0, ?23:16
xardas008i'm free with everything23:16
eaespinoza0yea23:16
head_victimMy times constantly change so I just come when I can or read logs23:16
eaespinoza0yeah?23:16
UndiFineDseems we have a flexible group23:17
MrChrisDruifIt's not a two man show eaespinoza0, hence we want some input on when to plan the next meeting23:17
MrChrisDruif;)23:17
eaespinoza0okay sorry job toke me away a few minutes and lost the attention23:18
UndiFineDwe will pick a free slot in 2 weeks23:18
eaespinoza0I'm going for doodle to figure out a window for everyone23:18
phillwUndiFineD: as long as it posted up on the topic for the room a.s.a.p. that gives most of us chance to make arrangements or scream!23:19
