stgrabersorry for not showing up earlier, was debugging some cdimage script and missed the beginning of the meeting :(19:17
bdrung#topic Ubuntu Core Developer Applications19:18
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Core Developer Applications
bdrung#subtopic Iain Lane's core-dev application19:18
bdrung#link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IainLane/CoreDevApplication19:19
bdrungLaney: do you like to introduce yourself? ;)19:19
Laneyok19:19
LaneyMy name is Iain. I live in Nottingham, which is in the East Midlands in England.19:20
LaneyIt's raining.19:20
LaneyIt's been raining for about three months constantly.19:20
LaneyI'm a MOTU and I've been one for something over three years now. I've been a DD for a bit over a year.19:20
bdrungthen you have enough time to code ;)19:20
LaneyIn Ubuntu I'm a backporter, I'm on the release team and I'm also on this DMB.19:21
LaneyI just joined Canonical on the Desktop team, as you might be able to tell from my endorsers.19:21
Laney..19:21
micahgLaney: as you're in ubuntu-desktop know, do you see yourself uploading things outside of MOTU and the desktop package set?19:23
micahgs/know/now/19:23
Laneyyeah, desktop can be kind of limited19:24
LaneyI have a glib2.0 and poppler upload planned, both of which I don't think are in the desktop set.19:24
Laney(the former uploaded to exp already)19:24
LaneyAlso, it would be good to be able to sponsor stuff.19:25
LaneyOh. I also found myself looking after emacs a bit.19:25
bdrungLaney: will you help to reduce the sponsors queue to zero?19:25
LaneyI'd like to think so. I've not been a very active sponsor in Ubuntu to date really.19:27
LaneyI'm much better at sponsoring stuff in Debian for some reason.19:27
bdrungLaney: do you know our sponsors queue list?19:27
Laneydo I know it?19:27
LaneyYou mean do I know where it is?!19:27
bdrunghttp://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/19:28
Laneyyes19:28
bdrunghave you looked at it?19:28
LaneyI even submitted a patch to it before19:28
Laneywhich broke it and got reverted19:28
bdrungLaney: do you know why you are better sponsor in debian than in ubuntu?19:29
Laneymore focused teams I guess19:29
Laneysometimes people email me directly which works quite well19:29
LaneyI have a much higher chance of being able to review one of those changes well than any random Ubuntu package19:29
bdrungLaney: would grouping by package set help?19:30
Laneyit does that19:30
Laneyand yeah, I do sometimes cherry-pick those sponsor request19:30
Laneybut cli-mono hasn't historically had that many. Maybe it'll be better now with desktop19:30
bdrungwe could create separate tables for each package set19:31
Laneynot sure it would add much over being able to sort the columns as you can do currently19:32
bdrungwould it help to group by debian teams?19:33
Laneymaybe19:34
Laneydoes it have a feed?19:34
Laneyor some kind of machine readable output19:34
bdrungno, it has no rss feed19:34
Laneyit would be easy enough to hook it up to whatever fancy stuff if so19:34
Laneymaybe it should just export json or something19:34
bdrungwe have a json export19:35
bdrunghttp://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/sponsoring.json19:35
bdrungi like to discuss your "What I like least in Ubuntu" section19:36
Laneyshould be easy enough to compute whatever lists you want then19:36
Laneyyes! yes let's!19:36
* skaet also thinks from release team perspective that Laney have wider upload permissions beyond desktop would be good. :)19:37
bdrungyou wrote that there are not enough people working on universe.19:37
* Laney hugs skaet - cheers :-)19:37
bdrungit seems to me that the number of MOTUs decrease.19:38
Laneyright19:38
bdrungin contrast, debian seems to grow and grow19:38
Laneywe barely get any new MOTU though the DMB any more, do we?19:38
micahgI think we've had a handful in the last year19:38
Laney5 or so19:39
bdrungwhat can be done?19:39
Laneyheh19:39
Laneywe've discussed this for the past several UDS19:40
bdrunganything that was successful?19:40
Laneythis developer advisory team seems like a good idea, but I still don't see very many new active peopl in the channel19:40
Laneyin Debian you get to own your own stuff, maybe that's why people stick there19:40
Laneyyou can also get involved with the whole of the distro, not just a few teams19:41
Laneyit's set up differently, which is my second point here19:41
Laneyperhaps the presence of the company somehow makes people less willing?19:43
micahgwell, QA is always hard to find, and MOTU kinda acts like Debian QA for universe19:44
bdrungmaybe, the press sometimes have a strange view on Ubuntu and write "Canonical does this and that", but instead it's done by the community19:44
Laneyeven so, Debian QA is more proactive than MOTU is19:45
Laneypossibly because there's a higher chance of there being a 'hit' on any bug over there, because each package has a maintainer (at least in theory)19:45
Laneywhereas in MOTU you have to do it yourself really19:45
bdrungyour second point was that we do not focus enough on user freedom. can you explain what user freedom means to you? FLOSS?19:49
bdrungwhat can we improve?19:50
LaneyI get a feeling that we're reluctant to put the freedom of this project we're making as promenantly as we could.19:50
LaneyPeople talk about trying to toggle the little 'non-free software' button on in the installer.19:51
LaneyTeams rely on non-free software for their infrastructure.19:51
LaneyI dunno, I feel like somehow the Free-ness is a bit more incidental than I'd like it to be.19:52
bdrungso we should make it more visible to our developers that Free-ness is very important to us?19:54
Laneywell, it is to me.19:55
LaneyI'd like it if the front page of the website held this up.19:55
bdrungLaney: did you talked to the web team (or whatever team is responsible for the website)?19:56
bdrungLaney: can we MIR unar and get it installed by default? then we can drop unrar from ubuntu-restricted-extras19:58
Laneyno, mainly because I neither have a good suggestion nor know if other people agree.19:58
bdrunghow about starting a discussion on the mailing list?19:58
Laneyno idea what that is. is it a 100% replacement? why does it need to be in main/installed by default?19:59
bdrungunar can extract rar files and should be a 100% replacement. the upcoming file-roller can use unar to extract rar files.19:59
bdrungwe passed the 1 hour mark. let's vote and continue the discussion later.20:00
Laneypossibly. it could be added as depends/recommends/whatever there and unrar dropped if so.20:00
Laneythat would be good.20:00

=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Select a chair for the next meeting
bdrungnext chair will be barry20:05
bdrungshould i add the we go alphabetical through our list?20:05
stgraberwell, it still takes half an hour to list the upload rights because of the remaining duplicates and some packagesets can't be changed because they are duplicates and the API and DB disagree on the index...20:06
stgraberso short answer, no, edit_acl is still a mess20:06
stgraberI believe cjwatson fixed the code to create a new series in LP, so it shouldn't get any worse at least20:06
Laneyah, so we need SQL-fu to dedup20:06
stgraberyeah20:06
stgraberI have a bug and ticket open on LP for months now... might go poke #launchpad-ops about getting that stuff done20:07
