astraljavaNo new images so far. :-/06:21
Unit193I think it's too early for that06:25
astraljavaAhhh yeah, might be. Just recalled seeing times like 09:16, but obviously they were of UTC. :)07:18
Unit193Yeah... It's just after 3am here07:19
astraljavaBut it's 07:20 UTC, so I'll check back in two hours or so.07:20
astraljavaWell, still no, even though Studio got theirs.08:43
astraljavaI see, could still be a timing thing. There seems to be 4 hours difference between their rollouts.08:45

charlie-tca[TOPIC] Old business19:06
meetingologyTOPIC: Old business19:06
charlie-tcaWe are putting together a "Top 10" questions and answers FAQ. We would very much like to have that on the website19:07
charlie-tcaIf possible, we would even like to rotate these FAQ's so there are new ones for people to read19:08
charlie-tcaIs is possible to do something like "fortune"?19:08
charlie-tca..19:09
astraljavaWorth investigating.19:09
beardygnomewhat is "fortune"?19:09
astraljavaShouldn't be more than adding a dictionary for it.19:09
beardygnome..19:09
astraljava..19:09
charlie-tcaA set of statements, that can be rotated daily on your computer19:09
pleia2does anyone actually find them useful?19:10
charlie-tcafaq's?19:10
charlie-tcayes19:10
pleia2no, the ones on your computer19:10
beardygnomeoh, like a fortune cookie19:10
beardygnome..19:10
charlie-tcaIt will be the most asked questions from mailing list, #xubuntu, and forums19:10
charlie-tcaI did enjoy them when I had them working19:10
pleia2I like the idea of a FAQ page on the site, not so sure about rotating fortune things anywhere19:10
charlie-tcanot the fortune statements, rotating the FAQ's?19:11
beardygnomeme either, might get confusing for people19:11
charlie-tcaIf we have 100 most asked questions, we should rotate them so only 10 at time show up19:11
pleia2well I don't like "tips" things in general, I particularly won't like them if it's a FAQ about getting to sound to work when my sound works fine :)19:11
pleia2in fact, it may make me think something is wrong, "my sound is working, is it such a big problem for xubuntu?"19:12
beardygnomei agree19:12
charlie-tcaSo, having the question and answer there would be bad?19:12
beardygnomeif we have 100, isn't that more of a knowledgebase?19:12
beardygnomei think question and answer is good19:12
charlie-tca100 is a number19:12
pleia2Q&A FAQ on the website is fine, as "tips" on your desktop I don't like19:12
beardygnomebut not having them rotating19:12
charlie-tcaour goal right now is the top 1019:13
charlie-tcabut will the top 10 always be the same question?19:13
jarnosBest is to have Xubuntu so easy to use it does not need an FAQ.19:13
charlie-tcajarnos: reality, please19:13
pleia2I think we should just stick with ~10 for now and go from there19:13
charlie-tcaUbuntu will be that easy, but Xfce probably is not going to make it that simple, ever.19:13
jarnoscharlie-tca, the FAQ could be integrated in user interface.19:14
charlie-tcaand how will that attract users to the website?19:14
jarnoscharlie-tca, it doesn't19:14
charlie-tcagoal here is to get users to the website, not to their computer19:14
pleia2maybe we should focus on getting these FAQ written and on the website, and then think about putting them in the help docs on the system sometime later?19:14
charlie-tcaThat is a good goal19:15
charlie-tcaI would expect these things to already in help, but users don't really look for docs, do they?19:15
pleia2I suspect most people just do a google search19:16
charlie-tcaAt least, judging by the number of bug reports for out of date docs in karmic, lucid, and maverick, I don't think they do.19:16
astraljavagoogle is too vague and confusing.19:17
charlie-tcapleia2: we will plan for these to be on the website, then, right?19:17
pleia2charlie-tca: yes19:17
charlie-tcaThank you19:17
charlie-tcanext, we have19:17
charlie-tca * start ML discussion on panels, reviews of current panels, launchers on panels, etc - Carried Forward19:17
charlie-tcaochosi: did we start this?19:17
charlie-tcaand we are still calling for19:18
charlie-tca * All teams need to review website content19:18
charlie-tca  * insure http://xubuntu.org/contribute is up to date for each team19:18
charlie-tcaIf you have the ability to update anything there, please make corrections and email them to us. You can send updates to the xubuntu-devel mailing list, charlie-tca AT ubuntu DOT com or post them and give us the URL19:19
charlie-tcaAny questions? 19:19
charlie-tcamicahg: who do go to for  * we will look at getting pavucontrol in the sound preferences19:20
pleia2re: contribute you can also submit a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xubuntu-website19:20
jarnoscharlie-tca, when I started to use ubuntu, Xubuntu had easier-to-user panels and menu than Ubuntu, in my opinion.19:20
micahgcharlie-tca: desktop team I think19:20
charlie-tcaAre you handling this or me?19:21
micahgI can do it, just not this week19:21
charlie-tcajarnos: still does, but it is not as easy to customize19:21
charlie-tca[ACTION] micahg will get with desktop-team about putting pavucontrol in the sound preferences19:22
meetingologyACTION: micahg will get with desktop-team about putting pavucontrol in the sound preferences19:22
charlie-tcaAny questions on Old Business?19:23
micahgo/19:24
charlie-tcago ahead, micahg 19:24
micahgcharlie-tca: we're talkin about the sound menu, right?19:24
charlie-tcayup19:24
charlie-tcathe thingy in indicators19:24
charlie-tcaat least, I think so19:24
charlie-tcaI don't have that anymore in Oneiric19:24
micahgright, so that's going to require changes in pavucontrol to actually work most probably, so it's actually not so simple to just add, I guess I glossed over that last itme19:25
micahg*time19:25
charlie-tcaoh19:25
charlie-tcaso, maybe we can't have it there19:25
micahgthe indicators work over dbus19:25
charlie-tcaBut it is worth asking, isn't it?19:25
micahgthe question is does lennart have any interest in inidicators...19:25
charlie-tcaMaybe we should file a bug for it?19:26
charlie-tcaThat might be the easiest way to deal with it19:26

charlie-tcamr_pouit or micahg : your turn19:27
micahgso, mr_pouit got the indicators working in xubuntu oneiric again19:28
charlie-tcayes!19:28
charlie-tcalive session is still broken19:29
charlie-tcaanything else exciting happening?19:29
micahgyes, mr_pouit cleaned up that bug report so that the intent is clearer now19:29
micahgI'll upload libgtk2-notify-perl later tonight, that's one of the few things holding libnotify1 on the CD19:30
micahgI think that's it, we should probably try to confirm defaults for this cycle soon as feature freeze is 4 weeks away19:31
micahg*as possible19:31
charlie-tca(..)19:32
micahg.. (sorry, forgot)19:32
charlie-tcaNp19:32
charlie-tcait will take us a while to learn to use it, I think19:32
charlie-tcaum, Do we need to get pavucontrol and pastebinit in before feature freeze?19:33
charlie-tcaAlso, file-roller vs xarchiver?19:33
micahgfile-roller is back and the problem with that was solved (dropped nautilus recommends)19:33
micahgI think ideally we should even if we don't have a release impetus as then we get 2 months to make sure it's the right decision19:34
micahgpavucontrol hasn't had a release in 2 yrs, there doesn't seem to be much upstream development, pastebinit is pretty active though19:35
charlie-tcabut pavucontrol works19:35
charlie-tcaSometimes there is no need for further development, because things are working ;)19:36
micahgtrue, but that's a downside if we want stuff like indicator support :019:37
charlie-tcaoh, yeah, I guess it would be19:37
charlie-tcaOkay, maybe we just get it in defaults then19:37
charlie-tcaI can close the action item19:37
charlie-tcaAny questions for our esteemed developers?19:38
micahgwell, if we don't need indicator support and it works by itself, then we can include it19:38
charlie-tcayup, it is working, and we don't *have* to have indicator support19:39

meetingologyTOPIC: Bug Triage and Testing19:39
charlie-tcaMany thanks to the testers for all their hard work. Alpha2 made it out the door19:40
charlie-tcaA big part of that is the daily testing we are doing. Alpha2 was a very difficult milestone to release, as can be seen by the flavours not releasing it.19:42
charlie-tcaWe knew in advance where the worst issues were, and had workarounds for most of the issues.19:43
charlie-tcaKeep the bugs coming in, please19:43
charlie-tcaWe are tracking the Oneiric bugs at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Bugs/OneiricOcelot19:44

knome(hey)19:46
charlie-tcaI tried to test the plugin, but maybe I don't know how?19:47
charlie-tcaIt doesn't seem to do anything for me19:47
charlie-tca..19:47
knomedo you have javascript disabled?19:48
charlie-tcano, preferences says "Enable javascript" and that is checked19:49
* charlie-tca slaps himself...19:49

knomenope, you shouldn't need java19:49
knomewe can go through this after the meeting if you want19:50
charlie-tcaIced-Tea plugin is installed19:50
charlie-tcaAnyone else try to test the imgcapt plugin?19:50
pleia2yep, I sent knome some feedback earlier19:50
knomepleia2, yup, i just read it, and i'll get back to you in a sec :)19:51
charlie-tcaokay, I will get with you, knome 19:51
knomegood19:51
pleia2worked well for me, just some usability nitpicks :)19:51
charlie-tcaI am sure it is my settings, somehow. I seem to be able to make anything fail completely, these days.19:51
charlie-tcaAny other questions or comments for website?19:52
pleia2I added a link to our artwork page to our marketing page last week, so now it should be easier to find the logos19:52
charlie-tcaThank you so much for that!19:52
knomestill need to get through the website as well as the wiki page to make sure it's current19:53
charlie-tcaIt is the little things that will help us.19:53

knomepleia2, huh, that became a long email :)20:17

knomeanyway, it should have answered anything you asked, and anything you might have asked after that, if i only asked for the questions you asked20:18
charlie-tcaso, knome. You do know I am the only person to find two websites now that I can't see?20:22
charlie-tcaI get completely blank pages for them...20:22
knome:o20:24
knomewhat are those websites?20:24
charlie-tcahttp://ubuntuhowto.org/20:27
charlie-tcaany link on the page will give me a blank page20:27
charlie-tcathe other was the the status pages for Ubuntu, they fixed that now20:28

knomeit looks like the content is under some kind of white block20:29
charlie-tcaOh, good. It is not just me then20:29
knomeso did you manage to login to the demosite?20:29
charlie-tcayup20:30
charlie-tcabut then nothing happened20:30
knomecharlie-tca, adding " .entry-content { width: 100%; } " to the CSS on ubuntuhowto.org fixes the bug for me20:31
