| skaet | 10.04.3 | 15:02 |
| skaet | -- targetting July 21st for release. | 15:02 |
| skaet | -- new kernel was been pushed to updates late last week. Thanks to all involved in getting this last set of bug fixes in during the freeze. | 15:02 |
| skaet | -- candidate images have been posted on the iso tracker. Help testing is welcome. Please contact jibel, cjwatson or skaet if showstoppers found during testing. | 15:02 |
| skaet | . | 15:02 |
| skaet | We've been running into some space issues on cdimage, and some of the old releases have now been moved off to old-images (thanks cjwatson!). There is supposed to be some more disk space added as well so hopefully we won't get so crunched again for a bit. | 15:02 |

| MootBot | New Topic: Kernel SRU status - sconklin or bjf | 15:03 |
| hggdh | hum | 15:04 |
| hggdh | I can partially fill in if needed | 15:04 |
| bjf | sconklin is working on it | 15:04 |
| sconklin | this is kernel new prep week. We are tracking a number of regressions that have turned up after release of kernels last week. | 15:04 |
| sconklin | .. | 15:04 |
| cjwatson | o/ | 15:04 |
| skaet | sconklin, any new regressions on the lucid kernel we need to worry about for the release? | 15:04 |
| skaet | go cjwatson | 15:05 |
| * skaet cjwatson followed protocol, ;) o/ after him | 15:05 | |
| cjwatson | what's the status of the various peripheral lucid kernel items on http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html ? Do we need to worry about any of them not being in -updates for 10.04.3 this week? | 15:05 |
| sconklin | possibly. I just became aware of it before the meeting and haven't even looked at it yet. Stand by for the link | 15:05 |
| sconklin | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/811508 | 15:05 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 811508 in linux (Ubuntu) "Upon updating kernel, lost ethernet networking." [Undecided,New] | 15:05 |
| cjwatson | (right now, if no action is taken, the default will be that none of those reach 10.04.3, and I want to check that that won't make anyone's world collapse) | 15:06 |
| * skaet looking up the bug | 15:07 | |
| sconklin | cjwatson: I don't know whether it will or not. Honestly, we don;t pay much attention to the backports due to lack of time | 15:07 |
| cjwatson | there's also linux-firmware | 15:07 |
| sconklin | yeah, don't know about that either | 15:07 |
| cjwatson | ok, I'm going to assume nobody is bothered then | 15:07 |
| sconklin | afaik, we have to way to test the firmware package anyway | 15:07 |
| cjwatson | if that's not true, let me know ASAP and get the bugs validated :-) | 15:07 |
| cjwatson | (at least regression-tested ...) | 15:08 |
| sconklin | yep, I don't know what gets tested by QA, will ask | 15:08 |
| sconklin | I do know that we have new backports kernels in the pipeline, and that should not affect the point release at all | 15:09 |
| hggdh | currently QA only tests security regressions, LTP, and boot on arches (bare-metal, KVM, EC2) | 15:10 |
| sconklin | hggdh: thanks | 15:10 |
| sconklin | .. | 15:10 |
| skaet | sconklin, yeah that bug sounds like one to keep an eye on, esp. since it also has +3 people on it already. | 15:10 |
| sconklin | we have at least two severe regressions in Natty that only appeared after release | 15:11 |
| skaet | let us know if root cause is figured out if its something we have to respin for, or if we can release note it. | 15:11 |
| brendand | o/ | 15:12 |
| skaet | re: Natty, ack. | 15:12 |
| skaet | brendand, go | 15:12 |
| sconklin | ok, what's the deadline for respin notification? | 15:12 |
| brendand | sconklin - can i get bug #'s for those. want to check if it's anything we should/could have caught with our testing | 15:12 |

| MootBot | New Topic: HW certification - brendand | 15:14 |
| brendand | == Hardware Certification SRU Report == | 15:14 |
| brendand | • Tested Natty kernel 2.6.38-10.46 which was released recently. Results: http://people.canonical.com/~hwcert/sru-testing/current/natty-proposed.html | 15:14 |
| brendand | • Tested Maverick kernel 2.6.35-30.54 released before Rally: http://people.canonical.com/~hwcert/sru-testing/wk25_2011/maverick-proposed.html | 15:14 |
| brendand | • Tested Lucid kernel for 10.04.3 (2.6.32-33.70): http://people.canonical.com/~hwcert/sru-testing/current/lucid-proposed.html | 15:14 |
| brendand | • Currently testing Maverick kernel 2.6.35-30.56: http://people.canonical.com/~hwcert/sru-testing/current/maverick-proposed.html | 15:14 |
| brendand | ... | 15:14 |
| skaet | brendand, what's the summary from your perspective for lucid? | 15:15 |
| brendand | skaet - it looks fine from our point of view. | 15:15 |
| hggdh | \o | 15:15 |
| cjwatson | o/ | 15:16 |
| skaet | hggdh go | 15:16 |
| hggdh | brendand: how about bug 806586 -- will it be done this week (just curiosity)? | 15:16 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 806586 in linux-lts-backport-natty (Ubuntu) "linux-lts-backport-natty: 2.6.38-10.46~lucid1 -proposed tracker" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/806586 | 15:16 |
| brendand | i'm not sure if we should be testing that one | 15:17 |
| brendand | a normal update would only yield 2.6.32-33, right? | 15:18 |
| hggdh | correct | 15:18 |
| hggdh | you have to explicitly select it | 15:18 |
| brendand | no, we don't have the capacity to test backports as well | 15:19 |
| brendand | just the main kernel | 15:19 |
| hggdh | can you please mark the task invalid so that we can release it? | 15:19 |
| hggdh | .. | 15:19 |
| brendand | sure | 15:19 |
| skaet | cjwatson, go | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | there seems to be at least one failure on every model. I'm not sure I have an account for hwcert data to inspect the details, but is there a common factor there? | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | (sorry if this is a well-known thing) | 15:19 |
| * skaet wonders this too | 15:19 | |
| brendand | cjwatson - fine question. there is a test flaw that's getting fixed. | 15:20 |

| jibel | Verification of installer changes in -proposed ok. | 15:24 |
| jibel | .. | 15:24 |
| skaet | Thanks jibel. | 15:25 |
| skaet | Any concerns other than the ones mentioned so far for 10.04.3? | 15:25 |
| hggdh | o/ | 15:25 |
| skaet | hggdh, go | 15:28 |
| hggdh | this is not as much 10.04.3 (although also applies): it would be nice if HC could test backported kernels, it would vastly increase the number of different hardware we test on | 15:28 |
| hggdh | .. | 15:28 |
| brendand | o/ | 15:28 |
| skaet | hggdh, will ask about it, and cost/tradeoff implications then. | 15:29 |
| skaet | go brendand. | 15:29 |
| brendand | the main reason for certification testing is to ensure our certificates still apply | 15:30 |
| brendand | catching bugs etc is a good thing but doesn't extend to us testing kernels that we are not 'assuring' under the remit of the certification | 15:31 |
| bjf | but are those systems not supposed to be certified to run natty and maverick kernels which is mostly what lts-backport kernels are? | 15:32 |
| brendand | bjf - sure, but we are testing that kernel when it goes out as a natty kernel then | 15:33 |
| brendand | so i guess what testing does apply between the two gets done | 15:33 |
| bjf | the difference is that they have been built with lts toolchain and are running with a lucid userspace | 15:34 |
| sconklin | One particular thing that does not get tested is if there is a problem with the more recent kernels on the older userspace X | 15:34 |
| brendand | true, true. in the end it comes down to resources and priorities. | 15:35 |
| brendand | in an ideal world etc... | 15:35 |
| sconklin | yep, I understand that. | 15:35 |
| brendand | cool | 15:36 |
| bjf | so what are your resources and priorities? how long does it take to test a lucid kernel on the certification HW? | 15:36 |
| brendand | bjf - a couple of days | 15:37 |
| bjf | you are currently testing lucid, maverick and natty, correct? | 15:38 |
| ara | o/ | 15:38 |
| brendand | that's right | 15:38 |
| skaet | brendand, lets talk about this more a bit offline, and see if there's a chance we can use the slots when oneiric images are broken to increase the testing of the backports? | 15:38 |
| bjf | are you at max capacity with that? | 15:38 |
| ara | skaet, we are not going to test backports. Right now we don't certify them | 15:38 |
| ara | I understand that our certification testing is useful for Ubuntu, to check how things are going in terms of hardware issues | 15:39 |
| ara | but in the end, we are here to certify hardware, and we have to use our resources to do it better and better everytime | 15:40 |
| ara | writing new tests, improving our processes, etc | 15:40 |
| ara | but we can't test stuff we just don't certify, just because it could be useful | 15:40 |
| skaet | ara, suggest we take this offline then | 15:41 |
| ara | skaet, sure thing | 15:41 |

| skaet | thanks then everyone. | 15:48 |
| cjwatson | respin in progress for that ubiquity fix; if it doesn't validate, though, we'll just drop back to the validated ubiquity currently in -updates | 15:48 |
| cjwatson | in any event, there will be a respin to use only -updates | 15:48 |
| cjwatson | anything not in -updates at that point won't be in 10.04.3 | 15:48 |

| micahg | .. | 17:18 |
| jdstrand | micahg: we (the security team) will not be providing updates. sun java is in partner now, and iamfuzz is the person who is in charge of updating this, so would be the best person to ask | 17:18 |

| * persia auto-recuses | 19:15 | |
| cody-somerville | Emmet's summary matches my recollection of the agreement reached by members of the board during our first term. | 19:15 |

| cody-somerville | Since there was some confusion about our voting procedure and the original agreement was never officially documented, Emmet is moving to have the current board endorse the voting summary as written in his e-mail pending any feedback from the TB regarding their current review of the operation of the board. | 19:17 |
| persia | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2011-July/000956.html is a bit easier to get to for most folk | 19:18 |
| cody-somerville | I'd like to call the vote. If the board votes in the positive, we'll move forward with meeting. If the board votes against, I'll call the meeting to a close until we can agree on our voting procedure. | 19:19 |
| stgraber | sounds good | 19:20 |
| bdrung | yes | 19:20 |
| persia | And I'm *not* moving that the current board approve that: if people want something else, that's fine. I just don't want there to be confusion about the current system. | 19:20 |
| geser | one question | 19:20 |
| geser | if all 7 members are present and 4 vote +1 and 3 vote -1 that would result in a +1 and a deferral | 19:21 |

| cody-somerville | negronjl, Can you introduce yourself and your contributions to Ubuntu? | 19:33 |
| geser | persia: it might only happen in border-cases, but those are that one cause the problems about how to interpret the voting | 19:34 |
| bdrung | geser: i agree that non attending dmb member are a problem in the current voting system. | 19:34 |
| negronjl | Hi all. My name is Juan Negron. I currently work for Canonical with the Systems Integrations Group. I am currently contributing to Ensemble (lp:ensemble), Principia (lp:principia), Orchestra (lp:orchestra) and Orchestra Modules (lp:orchestra-modules). | 19:34 |
| cody-somerville | negronjl, So Launchpad says your first sponsored upload to Ubuntu was on June 8th 2011, is that correct? | 19:36 |
| bdrung | negronjl: when did you began packaging? | 19:36 |
| negronjl | cody-somerville: Sounds about right. It should be facter-plugins or orchestra ( and modules ) | 19:37 |
| negronjl | bdrung: I started packaging a few years back but nothing that has been uploaded....that I started when I started in Canonical in Dec. | 19:37 |
| cody-somerville | negronjl, And you created your application for UCD on June 13th, 2011 - right? | 19:38 |
| negronjl | ...bdrun: Dec. 2010 | 19:38 |
| cody-somerville | negronjl, When did you join Canonical btw? I don't think we've had a pleasure of meeting before. | 19:39 |
| negronjl | cody-somerville: not sure of the dates...I've been working on packages for the above mentioned projects for a while so, they could have been ready before but uploaded then....the dates sound about right though | 19:39 |
| negronjl | cody-somerville: I started on Dec. 2010 | 19:39 |
| negronjl | cody-somerville: Worked for zaid_h and now kirkland | 19:39 |
| persia | negronjl, Could you describe what you believe to be the relationship between the orchestra project and the Ubuntu project? | 19:39 |
| cody-somerville | negronjl, What sort of contributions did you make to Ubuntu before starting work on ensemble? | 19:40 |
| negronjl | persia: Orchestra is the mechanism to deploy Ubuntu server onto bare metal...Using cobbler, pxe booting, etc. | 19:40 |
| negronjl | cody-somerville: Orchestra and Orchestra-modules. In the 1.x branch, I did facter-plugins ( facter-customfacts-plugins ) and all of the puppet recipes as well as some of the integration work with lynxman | 19:41 |
| cody-somerville | negronjl, and before that? | 19:41 |
| persia | negronjl, So, do you believe Orchestra and Ubuntu to be one project, or separate-but-parallel projects? | 19:42 |
| negronjl | Dec. ( when I was hired ). I was working with lynxman in the development of the toolchain that will later be integrated in Orchestra ( the original name was sitoolchain ). The toolchain was based on puppet and mcollective with a log of "glue" code to "orchestrate" deployment in EC2, UEC and OpenStack | 19:43 |
| negronjl | persia: I see Orchestra as a deployment and orchestration mechanism to deploy Ubuntu Server. Orchestra is the tool that gets Ubuntu Server deployed in bare metal quickly and effortlessly so the admins can go about their business. | 19:44 |
| negronjl | as a side note. Orchestra will work with Ensemble ( that work is being done right now ) | 19:44 |
| persia | I understand that. Do you believe them to be part of the same project, or do you see Orchestra as a project to deploy the output of the Ubuntu project? | 19:45 |
| negronjl | persia: separate projects with a very parallel development and deployment cycle ( after all, Orchestra is mainly managed by the server/platform team ) | 19:45 |
| geser | negronjl: is Orchestra Canonical funded and do you expect to continue packaging it the next couple months? | 19:46 |
| negronjl | geser: Orchestra as a project I believe it is but, I have to be clear about this.... .It is an open source project. The main focus is to get it out right now and the people most interested in it's development at the moment happen to work for Canonical however, I ( and others ) are going to diff. conferences and promoting Orchestra ( and Ensemble ) to gain community support and development. | 19:47 |
| persia | negronjl, So, if Orchestra is separate from Ubuntu, would it be correct to say that your contributions to Ubuntu consist of delivery of orchestra software to Ubuntu (orchestra, orchestra-modules), and patch contributions for facter-plugins and dotdee? | 19:48 |
| negronjl | geser: As an example, I did a presentation at Structure/2011 where a Ben Saller ( Ensemble ) and myself did a talk about Orchestra and Ensemble | 19:48 |
| negronjl | persia: ... and principia but, more or less, you can distill my package and bug contributions down to that level...yes. | 19:49 |
| cody-somerville | Any other questions? | 19:49 |
| * persia has one, but needs another minute | 19:49 | |
| negronjl | geser: I am also scheduled to talk at CouchDB where we will be (again) talking about Orchestra and Ensemble as orchestrations for Ubuntu Server | 19:49 |
| negronjl | as another side note: With or without Canonical, I intend to continue my contributions to Ensemble, Principia, Orchestra, orchestra-modules and facter-plugins just the same | 19:50 |
| persia | negronjl, How do you feel about your experience of social integration with the Ubuntu Development community? | 19:51 |
| maco | What do you think would be the next step for you? PPU for orchestra-related packages? | 19:51 |
| negronjl | persia: re: social integration ... I'm getting there .. there's a lot of ground to cover and could be quite overwhelming if taken all at once.... | 19:52 |
| * cody-somerville has 19 minutes of battery left. | 19:52 | |
| bdrung | i am ready to vote | 19:52 |
| negronjl | persia: re: next step...PPU for the packages belonging to the projects I work with ... that would be nice | 19:52 |

| persia | -1 : I think the contributions are strong enough, if we assume that Orchestra and Ubuntu are the same project (as I prefer to believe).

| cody-somerville | negronjl, I'd like to encourage you to apply for PPU for the ensemble related packages you maintain after you get a few more sponsored uploads. | 19:59 |
| geser | negronjl: did your sponsors suggest to apply for UCD or did you decide it yourself? | 19:59 |

| MootBot | Abstention received from maco. 0 for, 2 against. 4 have abstained. Count is now -2 | 20:00 |
| kirkland | negronjl's sponsors are baffled by what counts as a contribution to Ubuntu any more | 20:00 |
| maco | i think with a few more uploads to those specific packages, skipping straight to PPU might be possible, but at the moment since it's only been aobut a month of packaging type stuff in ubuntu, i'm abstaining | 20:00 |
| maco | kirkland: you missed my explanation of my vote, so i'll repeat it | 20:01 |
| maco | i think with a few more uploads to those specific packages, skipping straight to PPU might be possible, but at the moment since it's only been aobut a month of packaging type stuff in ubuntu, i'm abstaining | 20:01 |
| geser | kirkland: what would you count to Ubuntu *development* contributions? | 20:01 |
| persia | kirkland, What is baffling? My concern is that negronjl clearly said that Orchestra was not Ubuntu, so when discounting that, there's not much left. I don't happen to believe that Orchestra *should* be enough separate from Ubuntu for there to be a distinction, but I do expect that people applying for membership believe that their contributions are contributions to Ubuntu. | 20:02 |
| bdrung | kirkland: most of his work is upstream work | 20:02 |
| kirkland | geser: let's take this offline; I don't want to derail your meeting again, I'm sorry. | 20:02 |
| geser | I try to understand where the view of sponsors don't match the view of the DMB (related to the voting discussion on the TB list) | 20:02 |
| cody-somerville | I find it difficult to be comfortable approving someone for UCD when they filed their application for it a few days after their first upload being sponsored into Ubuntu. | 20:03 |
| cody-somerville | Sponsorship is a core component of our model of contribution. There may be new ways to contribute to Ubuntu these days but I don't think the DMB is sufficiently familiar with how to measure those contributions. | 20:04 |
| persia | kirkland, I'd rather resolve this sooner. If you feel there's a huge disconnect, then it's better to have that discussion *before* we move on, so that there's no chance if it being lost. | 20:04 |
| cody-somerville | Well, I have 8 minutes of battery. :P | 20:04 |
| cody-somerville | and Gerfried Fuchs is waiting patiently across the table from me. | 20:05 |
| cody-somerville | and AndreaVeri is just renewal | 20:05 |
| geser | Rhonda: find some power for cody-somerville if you want to see your application processed today :) | 20:05 |
| maco | I must admit some ignorance to what this Ensemble thing is. I now kinda get what Orchestra is after negronjl's explanation...sounds like kickstart but maybe push instead of pull? But I'm not really sure how these new Canonical products tie into Ubuntu itself and so don't know if this is more like being involved with Ubiquity or more like being involved with Launchpad. Does that make sense? | 20:06 |
| Rhonda | geser: Unfortunately we are sitting in a bar at the street corner because the hotel network is … well … "fuzzy", and the hacklab is closed tonight because of a concert in the venue | 20:06 |
| cody-somerville | maco, I think so. They're questions we should definitely be asking. | 20:06 |
| === Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-nom | ||
| kirkland | maco: those are excellent questions, and probably at the core of this; we're working our butts off on Ensemble, Orchestra, CloudFoundry, and their countless dependencies, and failing to gain recognition for those contributions | 20:07 |
| cody-somerville | maco, and since we never say no, just 'come back later', I don't feel horrible about deferring applications like negronjl's until we and the larger Ubuntu community figure that out. | 20:07 |
| maco | I'm getting an impression that is more like #ubuntu-app-devel than like #ubuntu-devel | 20:08 |
| kirkland | persia: I would rather discuss this at a different time than now, as I fear my judgment is clouded at the moment and the conversation may fail to reach its most productive | 20:08 |

| Rhonda | I've done sync requests for a fair amount of packages over time, mostly ones I am related to in my Debian area, but also for packages that other give me a query. | 20:13 |
| Rhonda | I am applying for PPU for beep, logcheck and irssi because those are not covered by MOTU upload rights, they are in main, and I am involved in their development. | 20:14 |
| * maco laughs at ScottK's testimonial | 20:14 | |
| Rhonda | Yes, I can be … a bit shy at times, when it comes to these things. I don't like to pester people too hard to not get onto the nerves of others. | 20:15 |
| cody-somerville | Rhonda, Are you sufficiently familiar with the main freeze policies? | 20:15 |
| Rhonda | I understand that they happen earlier because they are wanted to be tested over a longer period of time. | 20:16 |
| maco | Rhonda: sounds like the same reason none of my sponsors have ever sponsored > 1 package for me that i know of :P | 20:16 |
| persia | We have main freeze policies? Could someone point me to a reference? | 20:16 |
| cody-somerville | Rhonda, Are you subscribed to the Ubuntu dev ml? ie. Are you notified when freezes are put into effect? | 20:16 |
| Rhonda | Not yet, but I do regularly consult the ReleaseSchedule page in the wiki. | 20:17 |
| geser | persia: I assume cody-somerville means the general freezes and also the main soft-freezes | 20:17 |
| maco | "ask first" | 20:17 |
| persia | I still don't believe we have soft-freezes for "main", but quite possibly. | 20:17 |
| micahg | well, it's not just main, but anything on an image | 20:18 |
| bdrung | soft-freezes for packages on the disk | 20:18 |

| maco | i thought that was supposed to /become/ true with the reorg? | 20:19 |
| maco | anyway, me too | 20:19 |

| MootBot | New Topic: MOTU Applications - AndreaVeri (RENEWAL) | 20:24 |
| highvoltage | cody-somerville: have you run powertop and set all that 'bad' flags to 'good'? that usually extends my battery life significantly when it's running out | 20:24 |
| bdrung | maco: why should it send the message if it dies while typing | 20:24 |
| cody-somerville | highvoltage, yup but it started complaining this release about advanced debug flag being disabled | 20:24 |
| cody-somerville | bdrung, I think it was a joke ;) | 20:24 |
| cody-somerville | and`, are you here? | 20:25 |
| and` | cody-somerville, hey, sure :) | 20:25 |
| cody-somerville | [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AndreaVeri | 20:25 |
| MootBot | LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AndreaVeri | 20:25 |
| cody-somerville | and`, Please introduce yourself and your application. | 20:25 |
| geser | and`: when you did you expire? | 20:27 |
| and` | I become a MOTU in 2007 uploading around 200+ packages and sponsoring dozens. I founded the Ubuntu P2P team and worked to improve p2p-related packages for many months. I was part of the backporters team as well. Apart from that I am a DD, mostly working on GNOME packages and mozilla extensions packages. | 20:27 |
| bdrung | geser: one year ago | 20:27 |
| and` | geser, around an year ago | 20:27 |
| cody-somerville | and`, Why did your membership expire? | 20:27 |
| and` | cody-somerville, I left Ubuntu development for a while and moved to Fedora. I then decided to leave Fedora and get back to the origins. I didn't like some bits of Fedora, its community and its structure. | 20:29 |
| and` | if I have to spend some of my free time contributing to an open source project, it must be one I really care of / use. | 20:30 |
| and` | and Fedora wasn't the right place for me. | 20:30 |
| persia | and`, In what areas do you expect to work in Ubuntu once you are again a developer? | 20:30 |
| * cody-somerville is ready to vote (based on our current precedent of renewing expired membership liberally if nothing else). | 20:31 | |
| bdrung | i am ready to vote, but the questions are interesting. i want to hear the answers. | 20:31 |
| and` | persia, I would love focusing on sponsoring and reviewing other people's work and packages together with GNOME packages and if I'll be able to revive the p2p team, anything else related to that. | 20:31 |
| and` | but I plan to spend some time on REVU, on the sponsorship queue, on mentoring. | 20:32 |
| maco | cody-somerville: as i joked to bdrung: "have you turned into a saboteur? no? ok!" | 20:32 |
| persia | and`, Have you been following the changes in the way we sponsor stuff? | 20:32 |
| * cody-somerville grins. | 20:32 | |
| * cody-somerville thinks persia has good questions (as usual). | 20:33 | |
| * maco isn't sure *which* changes persia means... | 20:33 | |
| bdrung | and`: do you think that REVU is the best place for new packages? | 20:33 |
| and` | persia, I saw many things changed on that side (i.e the ubuntu-universe-sponsors team is no more there), yes, but I plan to review all the new guidelines and procedures on the wiki asap. | 20:33 |
| bdrung | and`: heard of patch pilots? | 20:34 |
| persia | maco, When you look in the mirror every day, you see few changes. If you take a picture, and wait a year, you'll see more. | 20:34 |
| * persia idly notes that being a patch pilot is not required to sponsor, but the work of patch pilots is much appreciated. | 20:35 | |
| and` | bdrung, I alwais thought REVU was a very nice software for new packages, I definitely prefer it to Debian mentor's. You can comment on stuff, you can get more opinions on a specific package and most of all you need two acks for a package to be uploaded | 20:35 |
| bdrung | persia: patch pilots changed a lot in sponsoring | 20:35 |

| maco | bdrung: i feel like they just made it possible for sponsors to go "oh yay! someone knocked off 1/4 of the queue!" | 20:36 |
| and` | bdrung, definitely yes :) | 20:36 |
| maco | what id see as a bigger change in sponsoring is the addition of UDD merge proposal sponsory stuff | 20:36 |
| and` | bdrung, straight sync is usually the right way of doing things :) | 20:36 |

| cody-somerville | and`, Welcome back! | 20:37 |
| and` | thanks guys :) I have one fast questions: is the backporters team still up and running? | 20:37 |
| bdrung | ... and welcome back! ;) | 20:37 |
| cody-somerville | #endmeeting | 20:37 |
| MootBot | Meeting finished at 15:37. | 20:37 |
| bdrung | and`: yes, but it needs more man power! | 20:37 |
| Rhonda | and`: Yes, and looking for people to join, from what I understood | 20:37 |
| cody-somerville | Thanks everyone! | 20:38 |
| Rhonda | If you could join and through that speed up my backports offers, that would be great :) | 20:38 |
| maco | Rhonda: can't you join too? | 20:38 |
| and` | awesome, I'll get in touch with John Dong for joining back :) | 20:38 |
| Rhonda | … which brings me back to irssi, there is a backport pending. Or … wait, no, that was done already. But an update. :) | 20:38 |
| persia | Rhonda, So, the invitation to join also extends to people with vast history of backporting :p | 20:38 |
| Rhonda | maco: See what I formerly responded to bdrung about core-dev application. :) | 20:39 |
| geser | cody-somerville, Rhonda: have fun in the bar celebrating Rhonda's PPU rights | 20:39 |
| persia | But the speed of processing backports is mostly limited by backports-testers, not backports-developers (although people in both categories are to be especially thanked) | 20:39 |
| cody-somerville | geser, Good idea! Rhonda: buy me a round of drinks! :P | 20:39 |
| maco | Rhonda: but if you're doing the backports already and then just waiting for backport *sponsors*... | 20:39 |
| bdrung | cody-somerville: that's not allowed, because it's corruption. :p | 20:40 |
| maco | cody-somerville: seems your battery lies to you | 20:40 |
| bdrung | maco: my laptop battery lies in the wrong direction. | 20:40 |
| cody-somerville | maco, I like to think of my battery as like the train who could ;) | 20:41 |
| Rhonda | maco: Weelll... I would potentially not ACK my own backports requests. We also don't do that in Debian neither. | 20:41 |
| cody-somerville | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Engine_That_Could | 20:41 |
| micahg | and`: ScottK would be the person to talk to for Ubuntu Backports | 20:41 |
| and` | micahg, thank you, will get in touch with him :) | 20:41 |
| Rhonda | persia: I'm ignoring you intentionally :P | 20:42 |
| Rhonda | No, I really need to sort out some things first before extending my responsibilities. I somehow naturally feel too responsible in areas that I enrolled to, and I want to get some of the "older" areas into better shape to feel comfortable to extend to new ones. | 20:44 |

| Laney | and apologies to the rest of you. My girlfriend got back from some time away today so I was with her. | 22:30 |
