Or is it needed in production environment as well. [14:39] mmrazik, evemu is mainly used for testing purposes [14:39] it relies on a kernel interface (uinput) to inject input events even below X [14:39] ok. I was just curious [14:39] (it used to be a runtime dependency in the old utouch stack, but isn't anymore) [14:40] as X and XI 2.2 are parts of our stack as well [14:40] any other questions so far? [14:41] * MrChrisDruif waits for the full "presentation" [14:41] a quick side note on xorg-gtest: it's a google test fixture/testing environment that takes care of starting/stopping a dummy x server environment [14:43] in our integration testing scenarios, we rely on xorg-gtest to start up a dummy server, insert fake events via evemu, and let them pass through the X server to utouch-frame [14:43] and to utouch-grail subsequently [14:44] with this chain in place, we are able to test both touch handling and gesture recognition with the help of pre-recorded touch sequences [14:45] so far for the actual testing setup. are there any questions? If not, I would go on with our continouos integration architecutre [14:45] just curious -- how many tests do we have in place right now? [14:45] for the integration part [14:45] mmrazik, all together, I would estimate like 20 overall cases [14:46] where each case might contain different types of gestures to be recognized etc [14:46] grail has 18, frame has 2 or 3 [14:46] some of them are regression tests [14:46] cnd, thanks [14:46] geis has maybe 5? [14:47] thx [14:47] okay :) [14:48] we use jenkins for continouos integration purposes [14:48] and we recently started working on a virtualization setup that allows us to build _and_ test frame, grail and geis in a vm [14:49] this allows us to do ci both for different releases/versions of ubuntu and for different platforms [14:49] currently, we run our builds and tests for precise on both i386 and amd64 [14:50] but we are planning to extend this to further versions and platforms in the future [14:50] I'd highly suggest ARM [14:51] MrChrisDruif, yeah, we are working on that [14:51] Seeing most tablets and smartphones are ARM, I wonder why that wasn't the first one [14:52] MrChrisDruif, well, problem here is the availability of vm's [14:53] only qemu supports arm at the present moment (at least, for alien host architectures) [14:53] MrChrisDruif, also, the code is platform agnostic [14:53] the tests will likely catch trivial bugs like variable size differences [14:53] MrChrisDruif: and HW in general. While our lab is "full" of x86* HW we don't have ARM ATM. [14:53] but as tvoss said. It is on our radar and we are actively working on this [14:54] the current plan is to have a functional setup for ARM testing for the 12.10 development cycle [14:54] which starts in few months [14:54] actually its more like a month [14:54] mmrazik, indeed :) [14:55] okay, putting all of the parts together, we are currently running builds and all of the tests for every merge to the trunk's projects [14:56] Great, thanks (had to check what agnostic code meant) [14:56] developers are provided with the unit test results/build logs and code coverage analysis results [14:56] (P.s.: 12.04 is in 30 days, so less then a month) [14:57] for the latter, we rely on instrumented code and gcov/lcov/gcovr to extract the results [14:57] MrChrisDruif: ack [14:57] MrChrisDruif, thanks [14:57] any other questions? [15:00] well, thanks for reading then :) [15:00] tvoss: thanks for the presentation [15:00] mmrazik, yw :) [15:00] thanks everybody for participating and see you next month [15:00] #endmeeting === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Meetingology documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology [15:00] Meeting ended Tue Mar 27 15:00:40 2012 UTC.

[16:00] who, almost had some friction there [16:00] hello [16:00] * SpamapS has no idea how his name kept getting pushed back, given he hasn't chaired in 3 months [16:00] actually I think SpamapS is in the chair for at least the next month [16:01] Server meeting? [16:01] Alright, we have a lot to get to and not much time so lets GO [16:01] #startmeeting Ubuntu Server Team [16:01] Meeting started Tue Mar 27 16:01:13 2012 UTC. The chair is SpamapS.

[16:04] Ok, lots of bugs still to get through [16:05] bug #959426 [16:05] Launchpad bug 959426 in Glance "nova + glance services die if started before db is reachable" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/959426 [16:05] SpamapS: in progress [16:05] werd [16:05] bug #960276 [16:05] Launchpad bug 960276 in nova (Ubuntu) "a bad AMI can hang an entire compute node" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/960276 [16:05] chucks workin a replacement to the console fifo patch we're carrying [16:06] Ah, so thats something we broke?

[16:10] Launchpad bug 924739 in squid3 (Ubuntu Precise) "after upgrade from oneiric to precise, previous squid config unused, cannot be used when relocated" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/924739 [16:11] bug #928990 [16:11] Launchpad bug 928990 in cloud-init (Ubuntu) "fsck / dirty filesystem on instance is death" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/928990 [16:11] SpamapS, adam_g: I can spare a few cycles - lemme catchup with adam_g later [16:11] smoser: is that just there for good measure? [16:11] probably. [16:12] i'd love it if someone wanted to take it [16:12] :) [16:12] but i dont have it on my list of things that i'm going to fix right now.

[16:14] bug #880339 [16:14] Launchpad bug 880339 in mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu Precise) "AppArmor profile needs update" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/880339 [16:15] SpamapS: should happen well before [16:15] That one is actually Fix Committed .. just need to get 5.5.22 in as well [16:15] we really don't need to be thinking about 0-day SRU's yet. [16:15] adam_g: alright [16:15] Daviey: lot of bugs here.. not much time. ;) [16:16] bug #907197 [16:16] Launchpad bug 907197 in nova (Ubuntu) "ip address can't be injected into the instance when using lxc " [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/907197 [16:17] Bueller?

[16:23] arosales: I was just looking through them for those that seem behind [16:23] servercloud-p-juju-charm-testing [16:24] m_3 and I are working on getting that one back on track this week. [16:24] servercloud-p-openstack-testing [16:25] adam_g: only one TODO left, Collaborate on defining charm use workflow between OpenStack and Ubuntu: TODO ... seems like that doesn't make much sense to do before 12.04 releases [16:25] servercloud-p-automated-boot-testing [16:26] That one is mine, and I need to update the status. jamespage has saved me on this one, and we actually have a single reboot test now for LAMP :) [16:26] SpamapS: its something we'll likely be discussing at ODS in a couple of weeks, so left as a TODO till then. but right, its not release critical by any means [16:26] adam_g: alright sounds good [16:26] servercloud-p-cloud-power-management [16:27] I'm going to invite aquette to come to next week's meeting so we can discuss this [16:27] SpamapS: that sounds great [16:28] #action SpamapS invite aquette to next server team meeting to discuss servercloud-p-cloud-power-management [16:28] ACTION: SpamapS invite aquette to next server team meeting to discuss servercloud-p-cloud-power-management [16:28] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-p-arm-service-orchestration [16:28] SpamapS: EOF? [16:29] couple more [16:29] rbasak: that one looks mostly on track, just pinging you on it since its < 75% [16:29] rbasak: We can go through, [racb] Validate cobbler enlistment works: TODO .. later if you want? [16:30] also [racb] Validate juju using orchestra: TODO should probably be maas. :) [16:30] I feel a bit blocked on the new orchestra stuff and ARM support [16:30] rbasak: Grab me after this? [16:30] It's not quite clear what needs to be done with regard to this. [16:30] Daviey: OK [16:30] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-p-ceph [16:31] MIR still pending.. I think I'll postpone a few of the items in that one this week. [16:31] we may want to take more active role in that one next cycle [16:31] the MIR team are *too* loaded right now. [16:31] Yes, I think the MIR team needs another member. [16:31] Adding anything other than pure essential stuff is a no-go [16:32] Its likely we'll continue to add openstack components and other bits. [16:32] Ie, if it's not the on the cd, it's a hard push to consider a MIR now. [16:32] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-p-orchestra [16:32] That one is mostly on track, but looks a little behind [16:33] now accurate [16:33] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-p-openstack [16:33] Perhaps just lagging on WI updates? [16:33] zul: ^^ [16:34] Daviey: yeah need to update it today [16:34] mostly on track though [16:34] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-p-kvm-document-suggested-changes [16:34] Just updated that. What remains TODO, I intend TODO [16:34] sweet [16:34] groovy [16:35] just a couple more [16:35] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-p-juju-mir [16:35] Been working with jdstrand on this directly all week. [16:36] seemed intensive [16:36] We have some security concerns to address, but otherwise it is progressing. [16:36] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-p-openstack-charms [16:37] adam_g: ^ [16:37] Some of these I think can be pushed as updates to the charms post-release [16:37] SpamapS: those are all not release critical, and not sure which will get done before release [16:37] adam_g: perhaps just POSTPONE them and if you end up doing them, go back and change them to DONE? [16:37] i think pots-UDS calm would be a better time to address those, short of the swift tasks.. those charms need updating for keystone auth [16:38] SpamapS: yeah, sounds good [16:38] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-p-juju-roadmap [16:38] Last one [16:39] juju team is landing many of those this week [16:39] - Okay.. So.. Beta-2... - [16:40] aye [16:40] I'll be doing another spin later on today. [16:40] how come? [16:40] Is there anything else which is a candidate for inclusion ? [16:40] zul: Some changes required on the cd. [16:40] :) [16:40] Daviey: there are some other openstack rc1's that trickled in after freeze [16:40] nova, especially [16:40] adam_g: I saw a less than important quantum upload [16:41] anything else? [16:41] Daviey: i think nova was the only in-main component [16:41] zul ? [16:41] Has that been uploaded? Is it in the queue? [16:41] oh! [16:41] keystone, though not in main [16:41] it beens uploaded for a while now [16:41] ok [16:41] I also pruned some things from the cd.. [16:41] (including puppet and zsh) [16:42] Anything else beta-2 critical ? [16:42] not zsh!! ;) [16:42] Daviey: I can get you a few MB in mysql-client [16:42] SpamapS: fear not, it's still in mai. [16:42] SpamapS: have bags of space right now :) [16:42] now ruby is off the cd :) [16:42] ok good [16:42] (about ruby being gone, not your space.. who cares about space? ;) [16:43] Okay, nothing else of importance.. lets skip beta-2 and go straight to release. :) [16:43] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vde2/+bug/776818 [16:43] Launchpad bug 776818 in vde2 (Ubuntu) "[MIR] vde2" [Undecided,Confirmed] [16:43] space...the final frontier...these are the voyages of the..

I have no complaints... both my macs, and my hundreds of short lived EC2 instances have all worked perfectly. :) [16:53] tgardner: I tohught the outcome was a printk "System incompatible with current kernel" etc. [16:53] Daviey, I think we can do that [16:54] except I think there's possibility our kvm guest perf woes might need kernel love... need to dig further [16:54] tgardner: I am adding to our MIN system requirements a MAX system requirement for i386, for the release notes. [16:54] hallyn: You've been speaking to smoser about kvm perf? [16:54] hallyn, Keep me posted there [16:54] yes [16:54] both [16:54] groovy [16:54] Daviey, Andy knows the most about this, but he's not in right now. [16:54] yeah, thats gonna be fun. [16:54] ok, thanks tgardner / smb [16:55] Alright moving on [16:55] #topic Weekly Updates & Questions regarding Ubuntu ARM Server (rbasak) === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Meetingology documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology | Ubuntu Server Team Meeting | Current topic: Weekly Updates & Questions regarding Ubuntu ARM Server (rbasak) [16:55] i just want to make sure that we do a reasonable job, and ideally pick off the low hanging fruit for this cycle, not next.

AFAIK the regression came with latest rebase on master (3.2.1[0-2]) while the TI BSP was unchanged - so it's either a bad interaction between upstream/TI BSP or it's a brand new bug we got from upstream. [17:01] lp956693 ("Broken perf with Ubuntu-3.2.0-1408.11 at Pandaboard"): one of the patch from Linaro tried to enable perf hw support but it wasn't ready for prime, reverting it gave us perf ba [17:01] ck in a working shape. [17:01] lp666267("Cross compiled headers package breaks DKMS compilation"): two patches that address this issue were resurrected from O and ported to P, scripts/* are correctly cross compiled no [17:01] w.

Is this a quorum? [19:08] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ForumCouncilAgenda [19:10] No, but we sort of need to go with what we have [19:10] OK [19:10] Aye [19:10] Cariboo907 is on (UTC-0700), he might have gotten confused with time conversion [19:11] (I almost did) [19:11] I thought it was yesterday >.< [19:11] [TOPIC]Archiving forums === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Archiving forums [19:14] I'm all for the changes that you posted, Bodhi. But I'm a bit of concern regarding part 2 [19:16] sorry [19:16] what concerns Artificial_Intel [19:16] I like the idea of using T&T as pointer/support to wiki pages. [19:17] That is next coffeecat , method of archiving the forums is up now [19:17] OK === bladernr_afk is now known as bladernr_ [19:17] Archiving inactive posts sort of solves a few problems [19:17] outdated information and necromancy [19:18] We can not do much, if anything, about google indexing [19:18] What about LTS support? [19:18] If there are no other comments, lets consider what archiving strategy we want in chit chat [19:19] Well, AFIK, if the thread has been inactive for 6-12 months time to archive [19:19] LTS is not static either [19:20] And I do not think we have enough LTS specific support to justify a LTS only section, I think it would duplicate effort and be confusing and disorganized [19:20] Hmmm... so auto close after 6-12 months, then people can link to a close thread if needed? [19:20] I am open to other proposals [19:21] +1 Artificial_Intel [19:21] may I ask an off topic question relating to the FC meeting as a whole? [19:21] +1 Artificial_Intel [19:21] sure nothingspecial [19:21] are forum users able to voice their opinions here? [19:21] and now ? [19:21] That is what we are here for, to discuss and listen [19:21] thanks [19:22] but the voting is for the (usually) council only [19:22] Any other comments of archiving old forums posts ? [19:22] 6 months is a lomg time dead [19:22] Artificial_Intel: `votes is FC only [19:23] aye [19:23] OK then [19:23] [TOPIC]Closing T&T === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Closing T&T [19:23] The idea is to move techinical how-to's to the wiki [19:23] and use T&E for support of specific wiki pages [19:24] This has many advantages, wiki is easier to community maintain [19:24] meaning peer reviews and updates [19:24] Guys, sorry for disturbing, a little OT: would you consider having a single "wiki index" thread? Just pointers to wiki articles. Is that the way you're picturing it? [19:24] idea is great, but all the other forums will be flooded with guides and howtos if we close it for good. [19:24] I have one concern with that -- I think the forums are a gateway to the community for many... I would want to see something done to show people a path to the wiki [19:25] That is the idea cprofitt [19:25] make an announcement in the tutorials section about pending changes [19:25] A symbiotic relationship would be ideal -- wiki for the initial tutorial, wiki for modifications -- forum for discussion [19:25] list links to get started with wiki editing [19:26] As a contributerto T&T I like the idea of making it a portal to the wiki- I would have just updated the outdate wiki pages instead of writing my own tutorial if I'd known at the time. +1 [19:26] After a month or so, new threads are support only, not actually posting tutorials , something like that [19:26] We'd still need to moderate new threads - make sure they link to wiki pages?? [19:26] +1 to what cprofitt said [19:26] Yes coffeecat [19:27] I like this. Peer review for technical excellence is better done by the community as a whole rather than staff in the forum. [19:28] change the focus of T&T to discussion and support of wiki pages [19:28] Here is what was posted for those without access to the link on the agenda [19:28] My suggestion would be to encourage the wiki and discourage tips and tutorials. The tutorials section is a nice feature here, but outdated. Wiki has the advantage in that it is easier to peer review, update, and community maintain then a post on the forums. [19:28] +1 to bodhi_zazen [19:29] I think the consensus opinion is to move in that direction [19:29] Anyone willing to post a notice in the tutorials section ? [19:29] admin or staff? [19:29] either [19:30] I can do one [19:30] thank you forestpiskie [19:30] get a draft in SCC later today/tomorrow [19:30] you can post a draft in the staff section if you would find that helpful [19:30] yep [19:31] [ACTION] Start transitioning tutorials to wiki, use forums for support discussion (cross link wiki pages <-> forms thread) [19:31] ACTION: Start transitioning tutorials to wiki, use forums for support discussion (cross link wiki pages <-> forms thread) [19:31] [TOPIC]Forums upgrade === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Forums upgrade [19:31] Anyone have an update on this for the community ? [19:32] Basically , Canonical has set up a test server and is in the process of developing the openid plug in and new theme [19:33] it do not have a "go live" date for the upgrade [19:33] s-fox was working in it and is not here [19:33] [topic]Community building === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Community building [19:33] Thanks to everyone for the budding success of #ubuntuforums [19:34] +1 [19:34] It seems to be a great place to get to know the staff [19:34] +1 to that [19:34] and for the staff to interact with the community [19:34] +1 [19:34] ^^ +1 [19:34] I would remind everyone, the the channel is sort of communal property [19:34] +1\ [19:35] If someone is being "disruptive" - politely speak up [19:35] The staff will op the channel for extreme disruptive behavior, but we the staff do no wish to burden the entire responsibility [19:36] perhaps add the sentiment to the topic [19:36] http://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml [19:36] http://freenode.net/catalysts.shtml [19:37] Also, I think it is good for staff to interact with the community [19:37] both on the forums and irc [19:37] #ubuntu-community-team is a great channel [19:38] I know it is easy to get busy with daily troll hunting, and we do great at that, but we are also leaders of the community [19:38] +1, we would like it to be somewhere the staff can interact with the community. To quote one user in the last few days "well, it does make you seem less intimidating" [19:38] There are some rough edges in the community sometimes, but it is best to establish contacts with others and not remain as isolated [19:39] 0/ [19:39] Café should be a good place to interact as well nothingspecial [19:39] as long as it is on topic, speak up cprofitt [19:39] or games forum [19:39] * bodhi_zazen has to go in 20 minutes [19:39] I think getting to know other 'groups' in the community will help with those groups understanding and appreciating what the forums staff does... and give the forums staff insight in to what other groups do... [19:40] o/ [19:40] it also allows groups, once trust is built, to get a different view of their 'area' from people... which helps lend perspective [19:40] speak up nothingspecial [19:40] I would like the #ubuntuforums channel to be a gateway to the wider Ubuntu community [19:41] that converese on irc [19:41] o/ [19:41] please, everyone, speak as long as it is on topic [19:41] only raise you hand if it is off topic [19:41] nothingspecial, if there was more links in the header to show others different channels and groups [19:41] but to be honest, off topic stuff is likely going to have to wait [19:41] might be a good thing [19:42] this is an impressive stat I think most people in the community can appreciate: Active Members: 47,036 [19:42] +1 cprofitt [19:42] Any other comments on community building ? [19:42] The Ubuntu universe is broad and complex. Users are many times curious and in doubt. They want to understand who is who, what are the structures, governance, etc. The first-contact-points (IRC, UF) should provide that. [19:42] yes [19:42] Also, keep in mind, part of community building is encouraging ubuntu membership [19:42] 89 [19:42] comment about ubuntu support [19:42] Ubuntu membership is a way of recognizing contributions [19:43] and members like being contacted by leaders , encouraging them to apply [19:43] like from conaical no one knows about that [19:43] the support ^^ tie into forums ? [19:43] The forum staff have been encouraging membership. In my experience it has been going well [19:44] I think most of the staff will recall how you felt when you were recognized for your contributions and asked to join the staff [19:44] flabbergasted [19:44] confused [19:44] same good vibes when we contact people to apply for membership [19:44] yep [19:44] +1 bodhi_zazen [19:44] Any other comments on community building ? [19:45] All staff were just regular forum users ay one point [19:45] Oh, anyone with any questions on IRC, ask =) [19:45] [topic]Staff === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Staff [19:45] This topic is more informational, both to staff and community [19:45] o/ [19:45] I would like to move to a process for staff [19:46] We would invite Ubutnu Forums Members to apply, perhaps in FH&F [19:46] as a part of the application, a brief description of why they feel qualified, etc [19:46] FH&F? [19:46] We can then set up an elections process, staff serve for ? 1 year [19:47] ? longer [19:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=48 [19:47] Ubuntu forms members can vote for staff [19:47] We probably do not yet have enough members, but close enough to give it some thought [19:48] Thanx bodhi_zazen [19:48] FC is a bit different [19:48] There is some "training" involved as you can see with the new FC members [19:48] Staff interested would need to have some training, then we can go through a similar nominations and elections process [19:49] The only concern I have with the FC is - we can not just elect "anyone" [19:49] Please give these issues some thought and we can discuss it further [19:50] I am not anticipating much discussion here as it is sort of a new idea for how we select staff [19:50] Any comments ? [19:50] other than it's a good idea, I have noting to say. [19:50] All that you've said makes sound sense. [19:51] It is new, but the direction I would like to move in [19:51] There needs to be a review of the process, but there are several issues that need thought and debate. Thanks bodhi_zazen [19:51] One thing we should be doing, encouraging leaders [19:51] [topic]team reports === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: team reports [19:51] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TeamReports/February2012 [19:51] This is sort of a FC training issue [19:52] Our report from last month did not make the master list, so lets continue to improve [19:52] Who will do the FC team report this month ? (FC member please) [19:52] either s-fox or I can help, but we all need to learn to do this [19:52] I botched last months... [19:53] Iowan: don't worry, I botched my share [19:53] Want to try again this month ? [19:53] practice makes perfect =) [19:53] Or less flawed... [19:53] I'm game... [19:53] Thank you [19:54] I want to get the entire FC up to speed on all these "little" administrative tasks, they are to much for me to do it all [19:54] [topic]Updates to ubiquity and firefox bookmarks === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Updates to ubiquity and firefox bookmarks [19:55] Thanks to everyone who worked on this [19:55] All we can do is submit a "patch" on LP [19:55] It will either be accepted, or not [19:55] Please respect the package maintainers decision on this [19:55] I dont think it will happen sadly [19:55] It is not a personal insult or attack on the forms if they say no ... [19:56] philinux: We did miss the feature freeze [19:56] We can submit a patch each release cycle =) [19:56] has anyone called people that work for conaical about this ? [19:56] Why would we do that josephmills ? [19:57] It is not up to Canonical to dictate to the package maintainers ;) [19:57] ahh I see but they have to have some push ? [19:57] we need a new maintainer [19:57] Canonical would probably not do that, and the developers want to be given mandates about as much as the FC does [19:57] +1 philinux [19:57] bodhi_zazen, cool and thanks [19:58] we need to work within the system please [19:58] Submit a working , elegant patch, with please and thank you ;) [19:58] +1 [19:59] [topic]FC meetings === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: FC meetings [19:59] Can we please set a more fixed time and spread the word to the community [19:59] Hard to get a good turn out without at least a week notice [20:00] +1 [20:00] Can we skip to the ban reversal ? [20:00] is mjp29 here ? [20:00] [topic]ban reversal === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: ban reversal [20:01] I emailed him with date/time/IRC client info [20:01] I would not even consider a reversal without additional information and a conversation, mailing list would be fine [20:01] Often there is a difference of opinion on what spam is [20:01] I haven't heard/seen if he has signed CoC [20:01] We have a higher standard on the forums [20:02] I've been trying to forward his emails to FC [20:02] so links to "personal home pages" selling products and services are not allowed for example [20:02] So we need to agree on what spam is on the forms, no more spam, etc [20:02] no need to waste time on it, clearly a spammer [20:02] +1 Artificial_Intel [20:02] Was that why the ban - or trolling? [20:03] If the member is not here, and there is not information on the mailing list we will have to table it [20:03] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?threadid=1708017 [20:03] OK here. [20:03] spam [20:03] Artificial_Intel: posted the link, only staff can see it though [20:03] spam [20:03] This is not john spartan [20:04] ahh, that explains! [20:04] oic [20:04] OK, if they want to discuss the matter further, have them contact the FC [20:04] Will do! [20:04] For the benefit of the community ... [20:05] We will consider reversals as long as we are able to come to a mutually agreeable understanding [20:05] And I have not yet received a complaint that there is not enough spam on the forums >:) [20:06] [topic]NEW MEMBERS !!! === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: NEW MEMBERS !!!
