holsteinScottL astraljava 01:51
holsteinwe do have a meeting scheduled for tomorrow01:51
holsteinunless either of you oppose01:51
holsteinim going to send a message to the list moving it to next week due to the holiday01:51
falktxoh, what which time?01:51
holsteinand ill mention that i plan on global jamming in the afternoon some01:52
holsteinfalktx: i think we'll move it to next week01:52
ScottLholstein, heh, i think astraljava already sent one reminding people01:52
holsteinScottL: thats fine01:52
holsteini wont mess with it then01:53
holsteinOH yeah01:53
holsteini see it in there now01:53
holsteinastraljava ScottL NM01:53
ScottLi don't know, you can always send email saying you would prefer to move it :)01:53
holsteinnah01:53
holsteini was kind of assuming more folk than i were busy01:54
holsteinif you guys can meet and get something done, great :)01:54
holsteinfalktx: it is happening01:54
holsteinfalktx: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Ubuntu+Studio+Contributor+Meeting&iso=20110904T1701:54
holsteinbiab...01:54
falktxI never understood the timing01:54
ScottLholstein, 01:55
holsteinScottL: YO01:55
ScottLwhat do you think about moving to removing pulse audio?01:55
ScottLjust using alsa and jack?01:55
holsteinScottL: im in01:55
falktxhere portugal we say lisbon is gmt0, but there's always 1h delay from official hours01:55
ScottLif we are seriously trying to make this as easy for new people, this would be it then01:55
holsteinthat might score us some points too01:56
ScottLi wonder if we will need rebuilt packages though?01:56
holsteinwell, lets bring it up01:56
holsteini bet falktx / astraljava know a bit about that01:56
holsteinwhat that would affect01:57
ScottLhopefully if something is built with pulse enabled but pulse isn't installed then hopefully the package will still run with alsa01:57
ScottLfalktx, what do you know about removing pulse?01:57
holsteinbiab...01:57
craigs63Will regular programs (i.e. Firefox) still run with alsa ?01:57
falktxScottL: and keeping xfce? not sure if possible01:57
ScottLcraigs63, they used to01:57
ScottLfalktx, not sure just because you've never experienced it before01:57
ScottLfalktx, or not sure because it's fraught with difficulty01:57
ScottL?01:57
falktxit sure is tricky to get jack and pulse together...01:58
falktxhm...01:58
ScottLright....01:58
ScottLbut we don't want pulse01:58
ScottLjust jack and alsa as the backend01:58
ScottLlike hardy or pre-hardy01:58
falktxScottL: it may be possible, but we would then need a new mixer01:58
ScottLalsa-mixer will not work?01:59
falktxmaybe, it's a bit confusing01:59
ScottLhaha, yes it is01:59
ScottLwell, it's something to think about02:00
falktxScottL: the problem is how to remove pulse02:00
falktxpulseaudio, even if not hard-dependency, it probably is recommended by a lot of packages02:01
ScottLhmmm, that's true02:01
falktxthis is a tricky situation02:01
ScottLcory was thinking that there might be a way to exclude some recommends02:01
craigs63And what happens if people install like I did: regular ubuntu first, then adding the studio packages?02:01
ScottLcraigs63, that is a very good point02:01
falktxif we remove pulse completely, the mixer in xfce4 is gone, and there's no default way to change volume02:02
ScottLcraigs63, i presume you meant that as a sort-of rhetorical question to make a point and not really wanting an answer02:02
ScottLi can answer the question if you want though :)02:02
craigs63I tried the US disc, but either it didn't have wifi by default, or I wasn't comfortable with the partitioning.02:02
craigs63ScottL: right, rhetorical02:03
ScottLwe probably shouldn't worry about pulse at this point then, we will have enough things to work on02:03
falktxhaha, totally02:03
ScottLwhat's all the talk about a jam tomorrow?02:03
craigs63I might try to get the Oneiric dvd running on an old laptop...02:18
craigs63fyi the IRC "how to's" on http://ubuntustudio.org/support - all 3 chat client links are not found?02:33
holsteinlol02:35
holsteinwhens the new site going up?02:35
holsteinScottL: i say we stick what we got up02:35
holsteinit cant be less functional than what we got02:35
craigs63I'm totally up for being a guinea pig / proofing that stuff.02:35
holsteincraigs63: thanks :)02:36
craigs63I have probably been messing with US or Kubuntu Studio for 4 years now, still don't know how to hook this stuff up.02:36
ScottLholstein, yeah, i can see if i can get into the website now, but not _right_ now02:52
ScottLi had already been thinking about not worrying about the website...just too many damn things to do02:52
ScottLcraigs63, what do you want to do?02:52
ScottLi.e. "i want to record my guitars with hydrogen drums"02:53
ScottLor "i want to make wonky techno synthesizer music"02:53
craigs63Besides actually playing guitar better?02:53
ScottLlol02:53
craigs63multitrack recording guitars , bass and bad vocals on top of drum machine rhythms.02:54
ScottLcraigs63, easy peasy my man, we can hook you up02:54
ScottLcraigs63, here's a video i did:  http://vimeo.com/1245446402:54
craigs63cool , I will check out02:55
ScottLi did a little presentation at my work for some friends who are interesting in music, computer, ubuntu or permutations of all three02:55
GTRsdkScottL: I have made this: https://code.launchpad.net/~gtrsdk/+junk/ubuntustudio-unity-2d03:01
GTRsdkbut no code has been pushed to it yet03:01
craigs63ScottL: video is great, I should've been watching this years back  ;-)03:17
craigs63Just another thought - should each of the wiki pages have a link at the bottom pointing to the main or "root" ubuntu studio wiki page?04:39
craigs63sometimes you can start clicking thru links and forget how to get back.04:40
craigs63The meeting is 12 hours from now, correct? 04:56
craigs63mark05:00
shnatselI've finally been pointed to the right way of working with seeds :)10:22
shnatselI understand even how the build bot works, more or less10:22
shnatselI can't understand one thing though10:22
shnatselCan I run the bot locally, and if yes, where do I get it?10:23
ScottLmeeting in about 1 hour i believe15:50
shnatselhello everybody15:51
ScottLi hope it's a good one! ;)15:51
ScottLhi shnatsel 15:51
shnatseldoes anybody know where can I get the code for the bot which builds ISO images from seeds?15:51
ScottLthe plan might be to stop building an alternate installation image for oneirc+1 and just do live dvd15:51
ScottLshnatsel, you might ask cjwatson in #ubuntu-release and other channels about this15:52
ScottLor possibkly slankershk15:52
ScottLor something like that15:52
ScottLor ScottK (not me) who is Scott Kitterman15:52
shnatselScottL: thanks, will do15:53
falktxScottL: I would still like to have alternate dvds16:14
falktxbut if it's too much work, I guess they can be dropped16:15
shnatselfalktx: I've just discovered the power of seeds, and it doesn't seem to be a lot of work to make them16:15
falktxshnatsel: you got the code?16:16
shnatselfalktx: nope16:16
astraljavafalktx: I'm pretty sure I will continue to provide alternates if I only have time, since I'm getting pretty familiar with that stuff now, so won't be too big of a hassle. But that could be done on the side, if we decide they won't be official anymore.16:19
astraljavaAnybody going to show up for the meeting in 40 minutes?16:19
shnatselastraljava: that's a rhetorical question, isn't it? (I'm going for sure)16:20
falktxi'm here too16:21
astraljavashnatsel: Not really, as some of the people are from the US, and they have their holidays now. And everybody can't attend every time, so, not really a rhetorical. But thanks for the heads-up!16:21
shnatselastraljava: I'm gonna push blueprint usage during "Any Other Business (all/anyone)" stage, and also livedvd, if it won't be discussed earlier16:25
astraljavashnatsel: Or you can edit the agenda all the way up to the start of the meeting.16:27
astraljavaI'll open it up when we're starting, and paste it in the beginning.16:27
shnatselastraljava: great16:28
shnatselthe 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.16:28
shnatselhttp://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 them16:29
astraljavaI concur, they're great, and I was gonna look into that for the next devel cycle as well, thanks for beating me to it, though! :)16:30
shnatselI was quite surprised to see lots of the work I planned for myself to be done by strangers and much faster than I planned to16:30
astraljavaThe power of distributed development. :D16:31
scott-upstairsfalktx, why do you prefer to keep the alternate dvd?16:31
astraljavaOkay, AFK for a while. I'll probably show up only a minute or so before the meeting.16:31
scott-upstairsastraljava, i will be here for the meeting16:31
astraljavaAwesome!16:31
scott-upstairsbtw:  been playing with this:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/ContributeToDevelopment16:32
scott-upstairssomeone threw down the gaunlet on the blog about making a wiki page that lists where people can help16:32
scott-upstairsit is still a WIP16:33
falktxscott-upstairs: I prefer alternate new installs16:39
falktxit gives me more freedom about what to install16:40
shnatselelementary has a similar thing and it's also in a poor state: http://elementaryos.org/get-involved16:45
holsteinastraljava: ping16:46
holsteinscott-upstairs: ping-o-la16:47

astraljavaHaha, we're waiting for you. :)17:05
holsteinOK... i gotta run too18:27
astraljavaOkay, thanks folks. I'll post the meeting minutes and the new agenda shortly.18:29
TheMusoScottL: I think thats rather subjective.22:09
TheMusoDifferent people think it should behave in different ways.22:09
TheMusoSo I can't really say either way.22:09
astraljavaI'm a little bit puzzled about it as well. Like already mentioned, IMHO -desktop is about experience, and isn't fulfilled anymore after removal of packages that construct it.22:18
TheMusoRight22:38
