knome_webanyway, i actually managed to splat one more bug before the server went dingdong00:00
Unit193Eh... Not fun! Do you know why yet?00:01
knome_webwell no idea, though i emailed the service provider already00:02
knome_web(and yes, it's 2am in finland)00:02
knome_webi think we're almost up again!00:03
knome_webi'm already being asked a password on ssh connection00:03
knome_webnow we're all the way up to connection refused!00:07
knomeand we're back00:23
knomeUnit193, which email? :)00:23
knomewoot, they just released 3.200:23
knomeerrm, wordpress 3.2 :)00:23
knomewoot, the new admin looks sexy00:28
knomesee for yourself (updated the demo site to 3.2 as well)00:29
knomeokay, so now every non-ie related bug in imgcapt is fixed, except the translation issue00:31
Unit193knome: The one with the WP content00:35
knomeUnit193, ?00:37
knomethe bug in "playground" is fixed, since there is no better way to display the span there.00:38
knomethe xfwm bug is a completely different issue ;)00:38
knomeerr xfpm00:39
knomeis there any other bug you might be referring to?00:39
knomeastraljava, thanks for the good feedback!00:40
astraljavaknome: Thanks for the opportunity to take part. :)00:40
knomeno problem!00:41
knomei'm probably going to add a few other plugins to the site soon..00:41
astraljavaknome: Just let us know if we can be of assistance when regards to testing.00:43
knomeastraljava, sure! :)00:44
knomesome of them actually need next to no testing (have been in use for >year...)00:46
knomei suppose the most important thing is to check the installation process to a new installation rather than just maintaining the original plugin installation00:47
astraljavaknome: Yeah. Read that wrong. Thought you said you were fixing some other plugins. :)00:47
knomeheh well, there are some plugins that need testing00:47
knomeprobably not fixing, but giving other people access to them might bring out something weird ;)00:48
knomeand if not anything else, need for additional features might arise00:50
astraljavaknome: Yeah. It's not always bugs only in existing functionality.00:57
astraljavaUhh... #ubuntu is an endeavour. I need to sleep now. :D00:57
knomeheh :D00:57
knomegood night!00:57
astraljavaThanks, you too!00:57
knome(let's see if it's 4am or 6am tonight... ;))00:59
Unit193knome: I was talking about the Testing the ImgCapt WordPress plugin email (Really doesn't matter at this point)01:09
knomeUnit193, :)01:09
knomeUnit193, i can still create you an account...01:09
knomewhile i fixed many issues, it's still not perfect01:10
Unit193knome: If you don't need any more testing (And astralj is better anyway)01:11
knomeUnit193, i definitely need more testing for imgcapt, the last discussion was about other plugins :)01:11
Unit193I could test to the best of my ability, but that may not be all that well (I also wouldn't really be too happy about last name)01:18
knomeokay, just throw in the initial :)01:18
Unit193And you would be OK with that? Cool. PM or email?01:20
knomepm is fine01:20
knomeand yeah, that's fine really01:20
NevoTechHi, I'm a small system builder, and I'm interested in marketing Xubuntu on my website and in ads, who would i talk to?06:25
astraljavaNevoTech: That would be charlie-tca, pleia2, knome and plantoschka.06:26
NevoTechperfect, thank you06:27
astraljavaNevoTech: Thanks for helping out! :)06:30
charlie-tcaGood morning12:58
charlie-tcaTesting alpha2 begins today, all the images should be dated today12:58
knomecharlie-tca, hey (pong)13:04
charlie-tcayes, here13:04
knomecharlie-tca, you pinged me earlier?13:06
charlie-tcaI don't remember? I went off line most of yesterday13:07
knomewould that have been something about the plugin testing, or something else?13:07
charlie-tcaI don't know now13:07
knomeheh, okay13:08
knomedo you want an account to the test site anyway?13:10
charlie-tcasure13:14
charlie-tcause this nick13:14
knomewhich email?13:14
charlie-tcacharlie-tca AT ubuntu13:14
knomedone, you should have email13:15
charlie-tcathank you13:16
knomenp13:19
xeranasHi all,13:35
xeranasIf I want to learn about devepoping xubuntu where I should start reading maybe good article exist about this?13:35
charlie-tcahttp://xubuntu.org/contribute13:36
* knome is keeping his fingers crossed that the page is up-to-date enough ;)13:37
xeranasso first recomended thing is become MOTU?13:38
charlie-tcayes, it is13:38
charlie-tcaall of the developers for Xubuntu have to start there13:38
micahgugh, it's no longer needed to become MOTU before becoming an Ubuntu developer, there are Per package upload rights as well as packagesets now, I can't speak for xubuntu-dev though13:40
knomebeing a motu is not a bad starting point13:40
micahgyes, but one should only become MOTU if one is interested in the archive in general and not a specific set of packages13:40
charlie-tcaxeranas: apparently, the first step is to become a Ubuntu developer now13:41
knomeand there are probably things you can help with even if you are not a motu, or ubuntu member13:41
knomexeranas, what are your main points of interest?13:41
xeranaslearn and get more expierence 13:42
xeranasand afcourse make something usefull13:42
knomemicahg, is there some low-hanging fruit out of the motu scope you and mr_pouit are working on right now?13:43
micahgknome: I think we're done with the first round of merges, idk of anything offhand, maybe charlie-tca knows of some outstanding bugs that need fixing that might be on the easier side13:44
charlie-tcaBack to the first step13:44
knomecharlie-tca, any important, but probably easyish bugs?13:46
charlie-tcaNone13:46
knomenon-important?13:46
knomenon-easy?13:46
knomeANY bugs?13:47
knome:)13:47
charlie-tcaThis is why the first step is to start at Ubuntu development.13:47
knomexeranas, do you have any experience in programming?13:47
knomecharlie-tca, i doubt ubuntu has any easier bugs really..13:47
charlie-tcaThey have such stuff. We don't usually have the documenatation, training ability, bitesize fix easy, etc13:47
charlie-tcaOf course they do. 13:47
charlie-tcaGo to launchpad, seach on bitesize tag13:48
charlie-tcago to harvest, they keep a page of easy to fix issues13:48
micahgcharlie-tca: well, the mentoring can happen in #ubuntu-motu, was just wondering if you have any itches for someone to scratch13:49
charlie-tcaWe are a very small team, most of the easy stuff happens very fast here.13:49
charlie-tcamicahg: you and mr_pouit are handling the development side, is there any?13:50
micahgk, harvest is a good, idea, I think the xubuntu packageset shows up there13:50
xeranasknome: PHP, Python, Java, and bit C++ 13:51
charlie-tcaHow about the "lightdm won't give us a live session" stuff?13:51
micahgheh, that's not so easy...13:51
micahgharvest does have a list for the xubuntu packageset though13:51
xeranasknome: currently only harvesting information where can start, it not mean that Im start right now (because first need read lots of documentation and I want spend time in right place ...)13:52
knomexeranas, sure! i'm sure micahg can help you getting started with the right stuff from here :)13:53
charlie-tcaWell, if I give advice and then someone else decides it is wrong, I don't have any more13:54
knomecharlie-tca, your advice is of course taken into account :) didn't micahg say that harvest is a good idea :)13:56
xeranascharlie-tca: I read MOTU as well, I feel that good to know packaging basics13:56
micahgcharlie-tca: just saying that MOTU isn't a required first step towards xubuntu upload rights as far as the DMB is concerned, Xubuntu itself can have its own rules though13:58
micahgcharlie-tca: and I did acknowledge your role as decider in my original statement :)14:01
charlie-tcaAs to the wiki, if it is wrong, perhaps micahg and knome would be so good as to get it updated?14:01
charlie-tcaor, rather, website14:01
knomemmh, that's on the list before we publish the new website14:02
micahgcharlie-tca: well, I guess that can be a topic for the next meeting, if MOTU should still be a first step or not14:02
charlie-tcaThat needs to be done asap, not when we have the website go up14:02
charlie-tcamicahg: that is up to mr_pouit, as lead developer for Xubuntu14:02
mr_pouiteh, I thought that to be able to get our own members and developers, we'd have to set up the xubuntu council first?14:04
mr_pouit(o hai, btw)14:04
micahgbut AFAIK xubuntu-dev != upload rights14:04
micahgmr_pouit: yes14:04
charlie-tcaand until that point, where do they start?14:04
mr_pouitmmh, it's always a good idea to read the motu documentation anyway (but then, it's possible to focus later on xubuntu/xfce packages instead of all universe packages)14:06
charlie-tcaCan't actually set up a council with a 4 person team, and two of the 4 are mostly inactive14:06
knomei need to go14:07
knomei'll be back later today14:07
knomesee you14:07
GridCube:( im sorry i don't know if i can test today14:40
GridCube:(14:41
charlie-tcanp14:41
GridCubehow much time is left? maybe i can get back to my house to do a late test14:42
charlie-tcaum, daily or milestone?14:45
charlie-tcaWe started testing alpha2 today. We have today and tomorrow to do them14:45
GridCubemilestone?14:45
GridCubeoh14:45
charlie-tcaThis is the ones on the iso tracker14:45
GridCube:D i can get to do milestone tomorrow then :D14:45
charlie-tcaMy zsync is taaking forever today14:46
charlie-tca3-1/2 hours already14:46
GridCubethat might be all the people ddosing unintentionally the servers14:46
charlie-tcayeah14:47
charlie-tcamr_pouit: I show 67 proposed new Xubuntu Team members at https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-team15:11
charlie-tcaWant to discuss them in pm or throrgh email?15:11
* micahg wonders if he should throw his hat into the list...15:14
* charlie-tca and mr_pouit think micahg should throw his hat into https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/15:15
micahgcharlie-tca: not possible, restricted team :)15:16
micahgmr_pouit could add me if he wants to15:18
charlie-tcaYes, he could15:19
charlie-tcaHow do you grow a team that no one can apply to?15:19
micahgah, it says one needs to create a wiki page15:19
micahgand petition for entrance15:20
* micahg guesses he could do that at some point15:20
The_Soupcharlie-tca: http://www.emotty.com/images/emoticons/907.png15:20
charlie-tcamicahg: it never actually tells you who/what to send the request to15:21
micahgtrue15:21
mr_pouitoh, I didn't know I'm an admin of xubuntu-dev15:23
mr_pouit~I'll add you then :p15:23
charlie-tcamr_pouit: getting the Xubuntu Team together is necessary to getting even close to setting up a council, since they are the team that has to vote for a council15:24
mr_pouityeah, from a quick look at the list of proposed members, most of them don't seem to be related to xubuntu :|15:25
charlie-tcatrue15:25
charlie-tcabut we still have ncommander on xubuntu-dev too15:25
mr_pouityeah, in pkg-xfce (in debian) also, but he hasn't done anything since xfce 4.6...15:26
micahgcharlie-tca: he's in there twice actually (he's core-dev now :))15:26
charlie-tcamr_pouit: shall I clean up Xubuntu Team and email a list of candidates to you for comments?15:27
mr_pouitcharlie-tca: thanks, that would be great (I don't think I know more than 4 names in this list :})15:27
charlie-tcaOkay, I will give it a try15:27
charlie-tcaThat should be the team selecting the next project leader15:28
charlie-tcaSome of them are the people testing the development versions for us, too15:28
mr_pouitI think I saw pleia, the dev of xfce4-volumed, a danish xfce translator, and a kubuntu developer ;p15:28
charlie-tcaheh, I will see what I can do for it, then.15:29
mr_pouitif you're fine with that, I'll add micahg to ~xubuntu-dev without the need for him to do any wikipage :p15:30
charlie-tcaSure, and then we can bug him for the page to get done ;)15:30
mr_pouithuhuhu15:31
charlie-tcaHow did micahg get to be an ubuntu member without a wiki page?15:31
micahgcharlie-tca: I have one for Ubuntu membership, one for mozillateam, and one for MOTU15:31
charlie-tcaOh, so one for Xubuntu should be easy? ;)15:32
* micahg will cut and paste from +uploaded-packages15:32
mr_pouitand then one wikipage to list all these ones15:32
charlie-tcahehehe, yeah, that too15:32
micahg18 out of the last 75 are xfce*15:33
charlie-tcaReally?15:34
micahgcharlie-tca: https://launchpad.net/~micahg/+uploaded-packages15:34
charlie-tcaoh, good15:34
micahgmost were sync requests :)15:34
charlie-tcaEvery one helps15:35
micahgbut I think I got libgtk2-notify-perl working with the new libnotify, just need to wait on a libgtk2-perl rebuild which should happen after alpha215:35
micahgwhich is one of the last packages keeping libnotify1 on the CD15:36
* micahg hugs mr_pouit 15:37
mr_pouit:)15:40
* micahg wonders what he got himself into now...15:41
charlie-tcanothing but good :)15:41
mr_pouityou'll have to obey charlie-tca :P15:42
charlie-tcaIs that even possible?15:44

Unit193With the idea of dev testers, do I count? Should I join xubuntu-team?17:32
charlie-tcaUm, you should join ~xubuntu-testers in launchpad17:33
Unit193I'm the newest person to apply :)17:36
charlie-tcahm, my internet connection sure hates doing three installs at one time now17:39
astraljavaUnit193: Are you testing today? I forgot to download the image at work, and cannot do it over the 3G due to the quota. I'll try to recall to download it tomorrow before heading home.17:54

charlie-tcayup18:05
charlie-tcaUnless things get fixed suddenly, we should have the same images now until Friday's run18:06
Unit193Mind if I run things by you before putting them on the tracker? (Like normal)18:09

charlie-tcaCongratulations, pleia2 ! Best wishes to both of you!18:14
pleia2charlie-tca: thank you :)18:15
micahgpleia2: congrats!18:18
charlie-tcaWhy is modem manager loading a ton of plugins before the Xubuntu desktop install restarts?18:18
davmor2charlie-tca: I get the same thing when Ubuntu logs out to shut down18:19
charlie-tcaGot about 60 or more plugins loading between "restart" and "remove cd"18:19
davmor2only unloading obviously18:19
charlie-tcait says "loading18:19
pleia2micahg: thanks!18:20
charlie-tcawell, I probably got enough red on the tracker anyway18:20
