astraljavaHmm... did the bot die on me?17:04
astraljavaOh good, there it is.17:04
astraljava#subtopic website update17:05
holsteinso, thats bagged for a while?17:05
holsteini was assuming the work load might be similar to fix the current one, or just drop in the new one17:05
scott-upstairssorry, i'm a dork and i'm slow and stupid17:05
astraljavascott-upstairs: Would you like to go on that one?17:05
astraljavaNo worries, we knew. :D17:05
holsteinthe new one seemed so ready to go last time i looked17:06
scott-upstairsastraljava, sorry, i missed the topic17:06
scott-upstairswebsite?17:06
astraljavawebsite update17:06
holsteinand my rationale was, it cant be *more* broken than what we have17:06
scott-upstairssuggestion is to use the "new" one that jorge made?17:06
scott-upstairslet me play with the old one first and test something17:07
scott-upstairsif its crap i'll see if i can get the new one over17:07
falktxis there a screenshot of the new proposal?17:07
scott-upstairsbut i'm no expert with website and especially with part of the website in launchpad17:07
scott-upstairsfalktx, hold one17:07
scott-upstairsone17:07
scott-upstairson17:07
holsteini mean, i dont think we should waste time doing anything to the old one now17:07
shnatsel|busyedubuntu guys seem to be happy with their blog-like website - you might want to try it17:07
holsteineven if that means sitting on it for a bit17:07
scott-upstairshttp://www.myhaiku.org/ falktx17:07
holsteinshnatsel|busy: i like the blog like style17:08
falktxscott-upstairs: looks cool!17:08
scott-upstairsshnatsel|busy, we had consideredd various other things, like hosting our own, using wordpress, etc17:08
holsteinbut, we are already somewhat commited to this idea17:08
scott-upstairsbut in terms of maintence we felt that staying with current hosting and drupal was the way to go17:08
scott-upstairsi'll see what i can do17:09
holsteinyeah... thats true17:09
holsteinscott-upstairs: let us know if we can do anything17:09
holsteini can put a drupal box online here, but i dont think thats the issue17:09
holsteinmoving the database over is a drag right?17:09
scott-upstairsholstein, the database will basically not really be needed i think because the new website doesn't really have any content17:10
scott-upstairsi think17:10
holsteinCOOL17:10
falktxscott-upstairs: I think too, this seems like pure html17:10
holsteinthat would be easier for us then17:10
scott-upstairsbut my concern is the mechanics of making new pages....the old site has many pages but the new one doesn't17:10
* falktx loves the new website proposal17:10
holsteinscott-upstairs: good17:10
scott-upstairsi want to test on the old one and see if we can add new pages17:10
holsteini dont think we need a bunch of pages17:10
scott-upstairswithout having to edit launchpad code17:10
holsteinlinks to wikis17:11
holsteina one page clean site would be great right now17:11
shnatsel|busyholstein: wikis suck. make them WISYWIG or use Google Docs.17:11
scott-upstairsi just want to know how to manipulate things before we drop one that kinda works and has content for one that has two pages and no content17:11
falktxscott-upstairs: I know a way around this, as I used it before17:11
scott-upstairsfalktx, for which?17:11
falktxscott-upstairs: we create a simple xml file containing the news, and a simple php function will auto-read-and-make pages from it (news only)17:11
scott-upstairsshnatsel|busy, how would we make them WISYWIG?17:11
scott-upstairsfalktx, okay17:12
shnatsel|busyscott-upstairs: AFAIK MoinMoin has a plugin for that17:12
falktxscott-upstairs: I've done it before, it's easy for me17:12
holsteinshnatsel|busy: im talking about the current ubuntu wikis17:12
holsteinthey are what we got17:12
holsteinanything we have local is a duplication of efforts17:12
holsteinand would be confusing (in my opinion)17:12
scott-upstairsshnatsel|busy, are you saying we try to pull content from the wiki into the website and make is pretty then?17:12
shnatsel|busyholstein: for user-editable content they totally suck.17:12
holsteinshnatsel|busy: sure, but that ubuntu-wide17:13
holsteinthast*17:13
falktxholstein: is it possible to put the wiki into an iframe?17:13
holsteinits not something we can change now17:13
* scott-upstairs thinks that edubuntu is doing that already17:13
scott-upstairsfalktx, what is an iframe?17:13
shnatsel|busyholstein: artwork team tried to work that around17:13
falktxscott-upstairs: a html frame (part of the site), rendered as the site, but that actually comes from another place17:13
holsteinim sure we can, but we have to be sure the new user knows whats what17:13
holsteinand why they are being redirected17:13
holsteinthen, we have to maintain both...17:14
scott-upstairsfalktx, yes, i would like to do this!17:14
shnatsel|busyholstein: they failed because Canonical doesn't care about community artwork team17:14
holsteinshnatsel|busy:  :/17:14
scott-upstairsas holstein said, i don't want to duplicate effort17:14
holsteinyup17:14
holsteinwe *cant* do that now17:14
holsteinwe dont have the resources to waste effort17:14
holsteinwe have wikis, and forums17:14
holsteinit would be work to leave them, and implement something on our own17:14
scott-upstairsokay so that plan is i will see what i can do to move the new site, then work with falktx to see about using the iframe bit to display existing wiki information in the website17:14
holsteinnot that we cant do that at some point17:15
scott-upstairss/that/the17:15
scott-upstairsholstein, ^^^17:15
holsteinscott-upstairs: i like that17:15
holsteineven if its just links to the current stuff17:15
holsteinthats fine with me17:15
astraljavaOkay, sounds good. Perhaps we should move on to other things now?17:15
scott-upstairsplease17:15
falktxwait a bit17:15
scott-upstairsoh... :)17:15
astraljavafalktx: Go ahead.17:15
falktxwe need to make sure the ubuntu wiki supports this17:15
falktxsome site do, others don't17:16
scott-upstairsfalktx, edubuntu is doing this already some how17:16
falktxscott-upstairs: website?17:16
scott-upstairsaye17:16
falktxplease post an example link17:16
scott-upstairshttps://wiki.edubuntu.org/UbuntuStudio17:16
scott-upstairsthis also is apparently better at SEO as well17:17
scott-upstairsi haven't look at the source so i'm not sure, but they have all Ubuntu Studio edits too quickly (IMO) for copying of vast tracts of text to their servers17:17
holsteinas long as it doesnt add an edit point, and we can handle the maintanence, im all for it17:17
shnatsel|busylooks cool indeed17:18
falktxwell, I don't think this is really easy stuff17:18
falktxwe should contact them, they will surely help though17:18
scott-upstairsREALLY good example, our agenda for today:  https://wiki.edubuntu.org/UbuntuStudio/Meetings/2011September417:19
shnatsel|busyscreenshots.ubuntu.com is just screenshots.debian.com, I'm pretty sure one can add a custom CSS to that system17:19
falktxscott-upstairs: I guess the new website would have a "wiki" tab that pushes the US wiki, right?17:19
scott-upstairsfalktx, i don't really know17:19
scott-upstairsall links from edubuntu point to the real site17:19
scott-upstairsbut let's discuss this after we get the new website up, that will take long enough already17:19
falktxah, they are probably accessing the database and creating his own pages17:20
astraljava#action scott-upstairs to look into moving the new site, and work with falktx re: using iframes for wiki access17:20
meetingologyACTION: scott-upstairs to look into moving the new site, and work with falktx re: using iframes for wiki access17:20
falktxscott-upstairs: that is probably a custom mediawiki theme, or some other wiki engine17:20
holsteinw00t17:20
shnatsel|busyfalktx: MoinMoin17:20
falktxah, ok17:20
shnatsel|busyhttp://moinmo.in17:21
falktxshnatsel|busy: we'll just need a custom theme to match the new website17:21
astraljavaOkay, just a side-note, could we finish our speaks with double-dots (..), so the chair will know we're done with the topic?17:21
astraljavaI mean, when you're done with your soap-box for the time, add that on an otherwise empty line.17:21
scott-upstairsokay17:21
scott-upstairs..17:21
shnatsel|busy..17:21
falktxall good now I think17:21
falktxnext please17:21
astraljavaThanks, it will make the chair's life easier in the future, as we're growing now.17:22
falktx;)17:22
astraljava#subtopic Beta1 testing17:22
astraljavaThanks for everyone involved! We got a (not-so) beautiful release for it.17:22
astraljava#topic New Business17:22

astraljava#subtopic XFCE migration17:22
astraljavaWe have finally gotted rid of unity \m/17:23
holstein:)17:23
falktxastraljava: were the fixed-menu pushed to the repos?17:23
astraljavaOn the otherhand, our sessions still look like crap.17:23
holsteinhehe17:23
scott-upstairsyay, congratulations astraljava for your efforts to accomplish this17:23
holsteinhey, its a work in progress17:23
astraljavaWhich leads to falktx's question, no it is not.17:23
astraljavaI'll try to get it done tonight.17:23
* scott-upstairs was going to download a dialy image to test lightdm and menu17:24
astraljavaWeekend didn't really go as planned.17:24
scott-upstairsi'll wait a few more days then, astraljava please let me know when it is pushed so i can test17:24
astraljavascott-upstairs: Will do.17:24
falktxthey should appear in the oneiric-changes mailiing list17:24
scott-upstairs..17:25
astraljavaWe will need to look at how our session integrates with XFCE desktop.17:25
astraljavaI can look into this too, but are there others who could assist (or better yet, take over?)17:25
scott-upstairsdidirock helped me last time with 'ubuntu-classic' (i.e. gnome-panel) vs. 'ubuntu' (i.e. unity)17:26
falktxI never got a working ISO install, so I don't know how it looks. can someone explain in detail what is the issue?17:26
scott-upstairsfalktx, when you select your user name it defaults to some other session that xfce17:26
holsteinastraljava: it would be nice to get the xubuntu guy help17:26
astraljavafalktx: http://astraljava.kapsi.fi/(X)ubuntu_studio_cropped.png17:26
scott-upstairsyou have to select xfce for it to work17:26
holsteini could do that prolly17:26
holsteini have no idea how to do it on my own17:26
falktxuh, ugly17:26
astraljavaThat's how it looks like now. There are no studio icons, no desktop wallpaper etc.17:26
holsteinbut if someone will help, i'll try and organize it17:26
shnatsel|busyI think I can help17:27
shnatsel|busyDidrocks helped me with that already17:27
falktxastraljava: can't we just copy xubuntu-default-settings there?17:27
astraljavaholstein: shnatsel|busy: Excellent! Can we assign this task to you?17:27
holsteinsure17:27
scott-upstairsastraljava, that link was for the menu17:27
holsteinshnatsel|busy: just let me know what i can do... and take it easy on me :)17:27
shnatsel|busyastraljava: Switch default X session? OK, assign me to the bug.17:27
astraljavascott-upstairs: Sure, but you can see that none of the standard icons aren't replaced by ours.17:27
astraljavashnatsel|busy: The thing is, we only have XFCE session in the greeter.17:28
scott-upstairsoh, i thought you meant that for the xfce session17:28
astraljavaSo none of our stuff will be loaded.17:28
shnatsel|busyastraljava: you have some custom stuff beyound XFCE?17:28
astraljavashnatsel|busy: Yes, our theming should have stuff that replaces the standard stuff. But we can discuss about that on our own channel after the meeting.17:29
shnatsel|busyastraljava: I've worked only with gnome-session and switching sessions in LightDM, I've never configured xfce4-session17:29
shnatsel|busyoh, and switching them in GDM too, obviously...17:29
astraljavashnatsel|busy: Okay, but are you willing to look into that?17:30
astraljavafalktx: Good question, one that I don't have an answer to at this moment.17:30
shnatsel|busyastraljava: OK, I'll try17:30
scott-upstairsshnatsel|busy, that would be awesome17:30
astraljavashnatsel|busy: Let's just be vocal about it on the channel, so others can chime in if you get stuck.17:30
scott-upstairscory should have _something_ done, perhaps we should email him ?17:31
holsteinscott-upstairs: about XFCE?17:31
scott-upstairsaye!17:31
holsteini think he wanted to kill it right?17:31
astraljava#action holstein and shnatsel|busy to look into utilizing studio icons etc. on desktop session.17:31
meetingologyACTION: holstein and shnatsel|busy to look into utilizing studio icons etc. on desktop session.17:31
scott-upstairsif cory has something started no point in shnatsel|busy having to rediscover anything17:31
holsteinwont hurt to ask \17:31
scott-upstairsi'll send him an email then17:31
astraljavascott-upstairs: Good point, so can you ask him?17:31
falktxI think xfce is just not using the US theme17:31
falktxif it uses the theme, the icons will look good, i guess17:32
astraljava#action scott-upstairs to ask Cory about any pending work on theming the session17:32
meetingologyACTION: scott-upstairs to ask Cory about any pending work on theming the session17:32
scott-upstairshe said something about it's easy because xfce uses an XML file17:32
astraljava..'s ?17:33
shnatsel|busycustom icon themes in XFCE?! do they have any link to sessions at all?!17:33
falktxhm, confused17:33
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
falktxI was talking about the screenshot, were the icons are not right17:34
astraljavashnatsel|busy: I believe that's what should get done while you select a session in the lightdm greeter.17:34
scott-upstairs..17:34
astraljava...or rather, after you've selected it, and logged in.17:34
astraljavaBut again, we can discuss the technicals on our channel afterwards.17:35
astraljava..17:35
shnatsel|busyastraljava: in GNOME it's just a default setting. It's not dependent on sessions (however sessions could change that before Natty)17:35
falktxI know this for sure, xfce uses some different icon names than gnome, so a little symlinks will be needed in the US icon theme17:36
holsteinwhich would be easy?17:36
holsteinright?17:36
holsteinand that would give us our current icons in XFCE?17:36
holsteinthat would be nice17:36
shnatsel|busyastraljava: I've ported Humanity to LibreOffice. No more icon porting for me.17:36
falktxyes17:36
holsteini think a good goal would be to change as little as possible17:37
falktxholstein: I did that for kxstudio kde-gnome compatibility17:37
holsteinwhen folks fire it up, it looks like gnome2-ish17:37
falktxyep17:37
falktxholstein: that is the point I guess17:37
holsteinfalktx: for now at least17:37
falktxhave the interface looking like in previous releases17:37
holsteinthe least amount of change17:37
holsteini like the look/feel anyways17:37
holsteinand i think others do too17:38
astraljavashnatsel|busy: Noted, thanks.17:38
scott-upstairslet's discuss this at length later17:38
scott-upstairs..17:38
shnatsel|busyI personally think that US should not invent its own themes; I'm a strong believer in division of labor17:38
shnatsel|busySo let icon designers do the icon set17:38
scott-upstairs+117:38
shnatsel|busyand we should make the distro, not icon sets17:38
holsteinsure17:38
holsteini can identify with that17:38
shnatsel|busypackage and integrate apps, etc17:39
scott-upstairsneed some ".."17:39
shnatsel|busydo like Ubuntu did - just use elementaty icons with minimal mods17:39
scott-upstairs's17:39
falktxfaenza ftw!17:39
astraljavaMaybe we shall add theming and branding for discussion in later meetings, then, as this seems to have some controversy in opinions.17:39
shnatsel|busyfalktx: fancy but not intuitive and the whole experience breaks when you meet an icon that's not from faenza17:39
shnatsel|busy..17:40
shnatsel|busyastraljava++17:40
scott-upstairsi hope we can speed things up because i will need to be going rather soon17:40
scott-upstairswe're already +40 minutes17:40

falktxeek, 40 mins17:40
astraljavaLike mentioned already, no it is not using the new background yet.17:40

astraljavaThis is a huge one, and as we're pressed on time, shall we move onwards?17:41
holsteinwell, we could just say what it is17:42
holsteini think we have all agreed right?17:42
holsteinnew users?17:42
falktxnew users!17:42
holsteinmaybe not...17:42
scott-upstairslet's say that the idea is to support musicians who are new to linux17:42
falktxI agree it's new users17:42
scott-upstairsbut hold comments until a later meeting17:42
holsteinyup, new users to linux/audio17:42
scott-upstairs..17:42
holsteinwe need to nail this down though17:42
holsteinand i think that does17:42
holsteinseems like so many decisions hinge on this target audience17:43
holsteinkeepint to the musician new to linux is fine17:43
astraljavaRight, so let's discuss that on October's meeting, so that we get it right for the next cycle.17:43
holsteinthat gives us a goal17:43
shnatsel|busyArtists too!17:43

falktx:(17:45

shnatsel|busyholstein: yep, from me17:49
astraljavaYep, we'll just have to check the dependencies.17:49
astraljava..17:49
holsteinthat was the easiest, and most relavant though17:49
holsteinshnatsel|busy: COOL17:49
shnatsel|busyholstein: "last call for oneiric seeds" thread17:49
holsteinwhat were the others?17:49
holstein2 others?17:49
scott-upstairsdarktable17:49
shnatsel|busyholstein: Darktable, photo seed, something else17:49
shnatsel|busyMyPaint17:49
holsteinmaybe thats whats up... i have no experience with those17:50
scott-upstairsholstein, shnatsel|busy, can you figure out what you want and talk to astraljava after the meeting about including them?17:50
holsteinsure17:50
scott-upstairs..17:50
astraljavaThanks!17:50
holsteinno problem :)17:50
shnatsel|busyI also propose to replace nautilus-image-converter with Phatch: photobatch.stani.be17:50
shnatsel|busyhttp://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/phatch17:50
shnatsel|busyThat Nautilus extension is useless because Ubuntu Studio has switched to Thunar anyway, and Phatch is a praised and useful app.17:50
shnatsel|busyscott-upstairs: np17:50
astraljavaNow, I mentioned that we should start having meetings more often for the next cycle.17:50
holsteinastraljava: sure17:50
astraljavaMaybe every week is a little too much.17:50
holsteintwice a month?17:51
astraljavaBut bi-weekly?17:51
shnatsel|busyastraljava: I suggest weekly17:51
holsteinmaybe the 1st and 3rd sundays?17:51
scott-upstairs+1 more meetings17:51
astraljavashnatsel|busy: If we can commit to that, then I'm all for it.17:51
holsteinif we need more, we can go weekly17:51
falktxtwice a month sounds cool to me17:51
astraljavaShall we vote on that?17:51
scott-upstairscan we start with two meetings a month (bi-monthly) and see how it goes?17:51
holsteinshnatsel|busy: cool?17:51
falktxscott-upstairs: I'm with you17:51
craigs63same time of day as this?17:51
shnatsel|busyscott-upstairs++17:51
holsteincraigs63: i can check the schedule here, but thats a good point17:51
astraljavacraigs63: That can be adjusted.17:51
holsteinmaybe a different time for the 2nd meeting17:52
holsteinfor those who cant make this meeting17:52
astraljavaWe can always agree on the next one in a current meeting.17:52
astraljavaYeah, holstein's got the point.17:52
astraljavaSo, we agree on bi-weekly meetings, the first one to be scheduled in October's meeting.17:53
holsteini like that17:53
astraljava#action bi-weekly meetings, the first one to be scheduled in October's meeting.17:53
meetingologyACTION: bi-weekly meetings, the first one to be scheduled in October's meeting.17:53
scott-upstairsmaybe email the mailing list to give available times for everyoen?17:53
scott-upstairs..17:53
holsteini can check availablility here, and try and field some times17:53
astraljavascott-upstairs: Absolutely, chair will have to be more active than the (presently lacking) one has been, sorry. :-/17:54
craigs63Well, bi-weekly means not necessarily falling on the 1st Sunday.17:54
astraljavaYep, that's the point.17:54
holsteinyeah, we can rotate the chair17:54
holsteini dont mind doing stuff like that too, since i cant do much other stuff17:54
astraljavaLike for instance Xubuntu-devel has the other on Sundays, and the other on Mondays.17:54
holsteinastraljava: i think you're doing great :)17:55
astraljavaI think we agreed on rotating the chair just for motivational purposes, but that can be discussed later.17:55

astraljava#subtopic live dvd17:55
holsteini think we table that til later17:55
holsteintil after oneiric17:55
scott-upstairstable live dvd?17:56
holsteinlive DVD is not for now right?17:56
holsteinwould that simplifiy our situation at all?17:56
scott-upstairscan we talk if this is the direction we want to go for oneiric+1?17:56
astraljavaSo far it seems that we have agreed to switch to having a live dvd instead of the alternate install17:56
holsteinor make it worse?17:56
shnatsel|busyholstein: we gotta test it during Oneiric at least, and start it now - or we'll never do it17:56
astraljavaWell, the topic says "Oneiric + 1"17:56
holsteini think if making a live DVD is easier for us for the oneiric release, lets do it17:56
holsteinotherwise, i dont want to 'rock the boat'17:56
scott-upstairsholstein, not for oneiric, never will happen17:57
holsteinscott-upstairs: yeah?17:57
holsteinhmmm17:57
astraljavaWe don't have time for official live dvd, for sure.17:57
holsteini mean... i think its the way to go17:57
scott-upstairsbut can we agree as a group that we want to do a live dvd for oneiric+1?17:57
astraljavaBut if someone wants to do that as a hobby, by all means.17:57
holsteinscott-upstairs: yeah17:57
holsteini want that for 12.0417:57
scott-upstairs+1 from me17:57
astraljava017:57
holsteinnot now, unless it drastically simplifies the process17:58
holsteinastraljava: we can talk about it for sure17:58
astraljavaholstein: The talk is on the release _after_ Oneiric.17:58
holsteini can see either wat17:58
holsteinway*17:58
holsteinbut, i think if the new user is the target, the alternate installer is a drag17:58
astraljavaPlease keep that in mind.17:58
astraljavaOkay, so far we're +2. Any other votes?17:58
holstein+117:59
astraljavaThat was already in. :)17:59
holsteinoh... hehe :)17:59

meetingologyACTION: switch to using live dvd for Oneiric + 118:00
falktxI can help, surely18:00
falktxbut I need to ask permission for a custom build18:00
scott-upstairs..18:00
astraljavaOf course, we will have to keep track on how that progresses from early on, and have alternate as an easy fallback in case things turn awkward.18:00
falktxUbuntuStudio 11.10 +KXStudio repos (updated apps and some new)18:00
astraljava..18:00
falktxit's like a UbuntuStudio Remix18:00
holsteinhehe18:01
scott-upstairsshnatsel|busy, i would like to work very closely with you on the live dvd18:01
holsteinwe could always have, and encourage community spins18:01
shnatsel|busyscott-upstairs: awesome!18:01
astraljavaholstein: Sure, but we're discussing official spins here.18:01
holsteinand get falktx in the mix too18:01
holsteinastraljava: sure, but we cant have kxstudio pacagkes in an official spin18:02
astraljavaImages that are spinned by Canonical services.18:02
holsteinwe cant add non repo pacakges right?18:02
falktxholstein: If I make one, I would have to host it. So hosted on kxstudio sourceforge, a US-remix makes sense I guess18:02
astraljavaholstein: I know, that's why we're not including KXStudio in the discussion directly. We can, of course, utilize falktx's excellent knowledge and experience on the matter.18:02
holsteincool18:02
falktxastraljava: ^18:02
astraljavafalktx: Noted.18:03
holsteinwell, we are at an hour... thats pretty much it?18:03
astraljavaCan I get any ..'s ?18:03
falktxastraljava: also note that, using PPAs, we are free to do/add anything18:03
astraljavaholstein: Did we ever limit ourselves to an hour?18:03
falktxastraljava: including VST plugins18:03
holsteinastraljava: nay18:03
holsteinjust sayin18:03
astraljavaSure.18:03
scott-upstairs..18:03
holsteini think scott-upstairs needs to split18:03
astraljavafalktx: Yup, but we cannot, as Ubuntu Studio.18:03
scott-upstairsi'm good for a bit more18:03
holsteincool18:04
holsteinme too18:04
astraljavaRight, moving on.18:04
astraljava#subtopic lowlatency kernel18:04
astraljavaAnyone checked this recently?18:04
scott-upstairsi'll spearhead this18:04
holsteini guess we still need it right?18:04
falktxastraljava: I know, but a community image can, that's the cool thing about it18:04
falktxI guess...18:04
scott-upstairsyes, we need it and we will have it for oneiric18:04
holsteinscott-upstairs: w00t18:04
scott-upstairsi was relying on persia, i'll be more persistent with him18:04
falktxabogani usually did this18:04
falktxwhat happened to him?18:05
scott-upstairsfalktx he made the package, yes18:05
scott-upstairsbut i am doing it now for him18:05
scott-upstairsand if i can't get persia to commit to anyting18:05
holsteinyeah, he doesnt want to maintain it anymore18:05
scott-upstairsi'm going to start pushing extremely hard in #ubuntu-motu to review the package in REVU18:05
holsteinscott-upstairs: let me know18:05
scott-upstairsi plan to move heaven and earth as much as i can to make this happen18:05
holsteinill mention it to the graners :)18:05
astraljava#action scott-upstairs to make lowlatency move forward18:06
meetingologyACTION: scott-upstairs to make lowlatency move forward18:06

scott-upstairswe don't need UKT input for this, just MOTU18:06
scott-upstairs..18:06
scott-upstairscan we skip to launchpad and lbueprints ?18:06
shnatsel|busy..18:06
astraljavascott-upstairs: Sure.18:06
scott-upstairsi feel it's very important18:06
astraljavascott-upstairs: Did you include it in the agenda?I'm not seeing it.18:06
shnatsel|busyI did18:07
shnatsel|busyastraljava: refresh :)18:07
scott-upstairsit's down close to bottom18:07
astraljavashnatsel|busy: Ahh, thanks.18:07
scott-upstairsshnatsel|busy, should probably table this topic anyways18:07

astraljava#subtopic Use a public specification tracker (LP blueprints?)18:08
shnatsel|busyfor example, there's this LiveDVD initiative, but nobody except those who visit the meetings know about it18:08
astraljavashnatsel|busy: scott-upstairs: Go ahead.18:08
holsteinshnatsel|busy: actually, its been emailed around a few time18:08
shnatsel|busythere's no place which lists plans for next release18:08
shnatsel|busyetc18:08
scott-upstairsor keeps things organized and easy to update18:08
holsteini think there are, but there are many places18:08
holsteinthe wikis get fragmented18:08
holsteinand duplicated18:08
shnatsel|busythere needs one, open, easy to maintain place18:08
scott-upstairsbut this would be a good way to keep it all together and let people know exactly where to go and update18:09
holsteinits not clear, thats for sure.. i can agree18:09
shnatsel|busyI have a writeup on that considering different options18:09
shnatsel|busyhttp://elementaryos.org/journal/how-see-what%E2%80%99s-our-sleeves18:09
holsteinshnatsel|busy: i like that18:09
shnatsel|busyWe ended up using LP blueprints18:09
scott-upstairsi've been exploring some blueprints as well and coming to grips with them and specifications18:09
shnatsel|busyand that really worked18:09
shnatsel|busythe thing I love about blueprints is that not only they provide a convenient way to track plans and proposals (we have LiveDVD proposal but it's not written down anywhere, the todo list exists only in my mind, etc), but they also make those plans visible to the public.18:09
shnatsel|busyhttp://elementaryos.org/journal/how-see-what%E2%80%99s-our-sleeves really worked - people not involved in the project started picking up blueprints and working on them18:09
holsteinshnatsel|busy: what does that mean to us though?18:10
holsteinwhat would i do to use that?18:10
* holstein looking at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/18:10
shnatsel|busyholstein: here we come to the next, closely related topic18:10
shnatsel|busyholstein: workflow guidelines18:11
holstein:)18:11
astraljava#subtopic Write/update workflow guidelines18:11
shnatsel|busyholstein: if you take time to read the blog post behind the link above, you'll see that first it explains the concept of a blueprint, why they are needed and how to use them18:12
shnatsel|busyholstein: then it explains the desired workflow18:12
holsteinsure, i'll give it a look18:12
shnatsel|busyholstein: that ensures tjat proposals are seen and plan listings are available for anybody to read18:13
scott-upstairs+118:13
shnatsel|busyholstein: moreover, community contributors can pick up certain tasks18:14
holsteinsure, i like the idea18:14
holstein+118:14
holsteinim sure it works well18:14
holsteinwe are just so wiki-centric18:14
astraljavaA needless +118:14
astraljavaThis is just a given. :)18:14
shnatsel|busyI actually thought it will happen, but I was surprised nevertheless when a stranger came and did lots of work that I planned for myself but wrote down to a blueprint anyway18:15
astraljavashnatsel|busy: Are you willing to drive this issue, so that every member of the team gets familiar with it, and it starts to see actual usage?18:15
holsteinshnatsel|busy: maybe you can talk me through setting one up sometime18:15
shnatsel|busyastraljava: I hope that my journal post (link above) is sufficient18:16
shnatsel|busyI can explain any details you need18:16
scott-upstairsi can help those who want to create one as well18:16
shnatsel|busyastraljava: we also need a way to communicate with the audience18:16
shnatsel|busyastraljava: to make all that openness work18:16
falktxwebsite comments!18:17
shnatsel|busyfalktx: blog-centric website!18:17
craigs63+118:17
shnatsel|busyfalktx: posts in newsblogs about us!18:17
holsteinyeah, but it might be a little late18:17
holsteini mean, we can do that18:17
holsteinbut, we need to start over on the site18:17
shnatsel|busyOMG!Ubuntu! is a good way to give visibility to something.18:17
holsteinand its been *so* long that the currrent one has be borked18:17
falktxholstein: the new proposal allows comments18:17
astraljavaI will add that as an item for a later meeting, we will not have time for it today.18:18
holsteini hate to take on a new system, and start over18:18
scott-upstairswe can make a blog site that is not at our current website18:18
scott-upstairslike OMGUbuntu18:18
holsteinat this point, i want something new/funtional even if its wrong18:18
falktxscott-upstairs: what happened to jorge (creator of the site proposal) ?18:18
holsteinfalktx: busy :/18:18
holsteinnew job?18:18
scott-upstairsfalktx, jorge moved to japan and is too busy with a new job18:18
holsteinsomething like that18:18
astraljava..18:18
holsteinhe checks in occaionally though18:19
holsteinand i like that site18:19
falktxis it possible to have the his website sources?18:19
shnatsel|busyscott-upstairs: somebody gotta take up where he left18:19
holsteini remember us talking about blogs back then though18:19
falktxI'm willing to keep working on the site, but I need sources...18:19
scott-upstairsshnatsel|busy, are you suggesting we make dedicated blog site or roll it into whatever website we end up with?18:19
holsteincan we remember why we didnt do a blog?18:19
scott-upstairsi like the former because it can be split between people18:20
shnatsel|busyscott-upstairs: make the main US website blog-centric for now and use newsblogs to promote the project as well18:20
astraljavaThe topic, however isn't on the website, now. Can we discuss that later on?18:20
scott-upstairsabsolutely ...18:20
scott-upstairs..18:20
astraljavaI guess we already covered the next subtopic, then.18:21
shnatsel|busyTo sum up, we need workflow guidelines to be written, and lots of deduplication, switching to more user-friendly services, etc18:21

astraljavaSorry, shnatsel|busy, please go on.18:21
holsteinshnatsel|busy: im all for that, and will help anyway i can18:21
holsteinduplication is a drag18:22
astraljavaAgreed, we're lagging behind in that one.18:22
holsteinand when i think about cleaning up our wiki's, i get sad18:22
astraljavaAnd a good thing to keep in mind with this is that it's not contained in a devel cycle timeframe.18:22
holsteini would much rather implement something we would like and move forward with that18:22
shnatsel|busyholstein: then drop it.18:22
holsteinshnatsel|busy: drop what?18:22
shnatsel|busyholstein: blueprints + links to whatever services where the full specs are stored18:22
shnatsel|busyholstein: that's the core18:23
shnatsel|busyholstein: bug tracker rocks18:23
scott-upstairsdrop the wiki he's saying18:23
holsteinyeah.. but can we?18:23
shnatsel|busyholstein: you also need a blog, that's a website affair18:23
holsteinscott-upstairs: would we just clean out the wikis?18:23
holsteinwill someone delete them for us? the pages?18:23
holsteinanyways... for later...18:23
scott-upstairsi'm sure we can do something18:23
scott-upstairswe're pushing 90 minutes, i gotta go18:24
holsteinlets just say, this is a good idea for now, and see where it goes18:24
shnatsel|busyholstein: if you don't like them, don't link to them from main US wiki page18:24
shnatsel|busyok18:24
shnatsel|busy..18:24
astraljavaRight, so to cut it short, any other business that hasn't been discussed yet?18:24
falktxdelete the wiki? and have the webpage with a wiki contained?18:24
scott-upstairsshnatsel|busy, i would like to work with you again on the work flow, blueprints, blog direction and develop a good plan to move forward18:24
