micahgPerhaps having the flavors having their own langpacks might be beneficial, we certainly don't want to bloat the main langpacks with stuff for all th eflavors16:29
micahgthat should be the best of both worlds (flavors get to translate in LP, no extra bloat for anyone), I just have no idea how much work it is to generate those (dpm and pitti would be the people to discuss with)16:30
tgm4883we need more devs!16:38
highvoltageDEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS!16:38
tgm4883FWIW, it's difficult for me to make the Mythbuntu release notes on our own page16:38
tgm4883that might be something Mario took care of for us, is there a link that I can see for that?16:41
tgm4883ok16:42
highvoltagehere's the edubuntu one, for an example... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/Edubuntu16:42
* highvoltage checks if there's a template somewhere16:42
tgm4883highvoltage, thanks16:42
highvoltagewell I guess https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes contains all you need16:42
tgm4883and this is what was autogenerated from blueprints?16:42

mptEach of these items isn't just a matter of designing and implementing a setting, it also requires designing and implementing what happens when a user tries the thing that has been locked down17:09
mpt(e.g. what happens when they try to drag an application into the launcher)17:09
mptAnother example, if a System Settings panel is hidden, any button somewhere else that would open that panel should also be greyed out17:12
mptdbarth, I'm not sure what you meant by a template, but it would make sense to have template for a mini-specification for each setting: * Where and how an admin changes the setting * How existing user accounts behave when the setting is changed * What happens when the user tries the disallowed thing17:15
mptdesrt, for example, if someone has added applications X, Y, and Z to the launcher, and then the admin allows X and Z but not Y, X and Z should still appear, and there shouldn't be a [?] tile left where Y used to be. Things like that.17:18
mptThis could be a whitelist that included X and Z, not necessarily a blacklist that included Y17:22
mpt---17:27
mptThe UI for setting the configuration is what really interests me17:27
mptIf you just implement the dconf keys and do nothing else, what percentage of admins would discover them?17:29
mptIf you implement them and document them on ubuntu.com somewhere, that percentage increases, but not by much17:29
mptIf you have an admin control panel of some sort, the settings become much more useful17:29
mptdesrt, that would be a good start -- even better if it was inside a window rather than in a whole separate session17:31
mpt(I think Unity can do that already?)17:31
mptThere would be some settings that couldn't be expressed in that way17:32
mptsearchable list, sure17:32
mptI see "Ability to hide some System Settings items" in this table, and I immediately think, oh, that should be a copy of the System Settings home screen with a checkbox next to each icon17:33
mptIn some cases you want something more general, e.g. "Users in this group can: [/] Change the sound volume"17:40
udsbotuuds-gb-b: 5 minutes left in this session!17:40
mptand if that's unchecked it affects not just the sound menu, but the volume keys etc as well17:40

mptI really think each of these settings should be considered as its own design+implementation task, because it touches varying bits of UI17:42
mpt"[shell-team] implement lock-down support" would turn into a fuzzy endless task17:42

udsbotuuds-gb-b: This session has ended.17:45
mptAnother thing to consider is whether the admin UI for all these settings should ship by default, or whether it should be something you install separately17:46

mptgiven that there are a few user permission settings in the User Accounts panel of System Settings already17:46
dbarthmpt: yeah, it could live there you're proposing?17:47
mptmaybe17:47
dbarthi would see it stay outside of the CD for now, as it's quite specific though17:48

cr3hello everyone!19:03
brendand5 minutes19:19
brendandit runs for 300 seconds19:19
cr3brendand: I wonder what would be the difference between running for 5 minutes or 5 times for 1 minute19:20
brendandcr3 - that's effectively what it does19:20
brendand5 * 60 seconds19:21
cr3perhaps if we calculate the median, removing the highest and smallest values, rather than just an average would make a difference19:21
brendandwe could process the numbers in a more statistically meaningful way19:21
brendandit would be nice if iperf could do that for us (maybe it does)19:21
brendandcr3 - remember the maverick headless problem?19:27
cr3brendand: nope, my memory doesn't go further back than precise19:30
cr3ironically, my memory is inprecise19:30
brendandin the sru?19:43
brendandit's never failed19:43
* brendand wants to check it's there )19:44
brendandno, it's not19:44
brendandwe just need to add it then. it's an easy win19:44
brendandi'm not sure it's in the sru suite yet19:45
brendandwe were waiting for hardware to arrive in taipei19:45
brendandctf has cards now?19:45
brendandanother easy win  (hopefully!)19:46
