coolbhavimhall119, wendar ajmitch ping05:59
ajmitchcoolbhavi: hello06:02
coolbhaviajmitch, on extras.ubuntu.com I see the last sync update which happened between the extras PPA and the repo is 18th august. Can someone run the cron again if they have access or whom to contact in this regard?06:04
* ajmitch blames the datacentre move06:06
ajmitch#canonical-sysadmin may know more about that06:06
* ajmitch can ask there if you want06:09
coolbhaviajmitch, yes please but I too read the mail a week back and extras.ubuntu.com wasnt there in the services affected list sent06:10
ajmitchyes, but there were a whole lot of services not listed that were broken06:11
coolbhaviah ok thanks for that I'll ask there now06:11
ajmitchI'll mail the ticket tracker for that06:11
ajmitchI've asked in #c-s06:12
coolbhaviok thanks ajmitch06:12
ajmitchmailed them now06:16
coolbhaviajmitch, thanks a lot again!06:17
ajmitchnp, thanks for spotting it06:18
ajmitchby the way, I won't be able to make it to the next scheduled meeting, and 4 of the team are set to expire frmo the ARB in about 3 weeks06:20
ajmitchwe should probably sort out what to do on the mailing list06:20
coolbhavisure ajmitch btw isnt ARB a 2 year term?06:21
ajmitchyes, it's been that long06:21
ajmitchhttps://launchpad.net/~app-review-board/+members06:21
ajmitchit was originally meant to be a 6-month term06:22
coolbhaviyes read the charter and the draft the other day.. Please reapply :)06:23
coolbhaviagain06:23
coolbhavibtw I just pushed the publish button on 2 apps and realised the cron hadnt run for the past week06:24
ajmitchprobably good timing given that we want to talk about completely replacing the process06:25
ajmitchthough it takes time to set up a vote & run it06:26
* ajmitch shall mail the list about it tonight06:26
coolbhaviajmitch, yes06:26
coolbhavion a personal note 3 votes is good but the amount of apps we recieve doing a manual review everytime is a bit time consuming06:30
ajmitchyes06:33
ajmitchcoolbhavi: after this coming week I'll be able to get back to things, but 2 weeks after that I'll lose access :)06:34
coolbhaviajmitch, another thing I observed 4 members going to term end means that leaves jocarter and me active maybe we have to postpone meetings.. ah reapply please you were  the original guys who set this up :)06:35
ajmitchheh06:35
ajmitchhi dpm :)06:35
coolbhavihey dpm06:35
coolbhavi:)06:36
coolbhaviajmitch, :)06:36
ajmitchcoolbhavi: remeber that jocarter is leaving, so that'd leave you as the ARB ;)06:36
dpmhey ajmitch and coolbhavi ;)06:36
coolbhaviajmitch, lol06:36
ajmitchyou've been doing such a good job of it lately too06:36
coolbhavithanks06:36
* ajmitch is just busy most nights at the moment06:36
ajmitchand then my desktop pc had to die yesterday :)06:37
coolbhavihdd went on sick leave? :)06:37
ajmitchseems to be power supply06:38
coolbhaviah ok :)06:38
ajmitchor something more serious, since it powers down within a second or two of turning it on06:38
coolbhavimight be issue with smps then06:38
ajmitchI was going to replace it when I got back from UDS (in may)06:38
coolbhavihmm06:39
ajmitchso it's just getting replaced a little later on, I was putting that off :)06:39
coolbhavi:)06:39
coolbhaviok off to work bye ajmitch and dpm06:40
ajmitchbye06:40
ajmitchhave a good day at work06:40
coolbhavithanks a lot06:40
dpmyeah, enjoy!06:40
dpm(as much as one can enjoy work ;)06:40
ajmitchheh06:40
ajmitchfriday evening here, so I can sort of relax :)06:40
dpm:)06:40
* coolbhavi takes a look at the review queue and lists up his todo for weekend 06:41
coolbhavibye all again :)06:41
ajmitchdpm: so as I was telling coolbhavi, 4 of us expire soon on https://launchpad.net/~app-review-board/+members06:41
dpmAh, good point, I see it, yes06:43
ajmitchI was going to mail the list about it, it should probably come up in the discussion about a new process06:43
dpmyeah, good point06:44
ajmitchsince we should probably vote in new people, but might want to defer that vote until a new process is agreed upon06:44
dpmI agree, emphasizing the 'is agreed upon' part rather than 'is implemented', as it will still take a while until all the pieces in the spec come into place06:45
ajmitchby awhile, I'd expect a few months given what I've read in the spec about the sandboxing & apparmour profile generation06:46
dpmyeah, I think these are the most essential parts of the spec that will need to be finished before it all goes into production06:47
dpmbtw, have you had the chance to have a look at it? If so, what do you think about the new process proposal?06:47
* ajmitch thinks one of the bigger problems will be social acceptance, there's enough of a backlash around the walled garden app stores that only allow crippled apps06:48
ajmitchI've read through it06:48
ajmitchemphasising that this is not the only way to get apps in ubuntu is important for people to accept the sandboxing06:48
* ajmitch has to read through it a few more times & write up some notes about it :)06:49
ajmitcha quick search shows http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/the-mac-app-sandbox/ as an example of reactions to sandboxing06:50
dholbachgood morning07:06
ajmitchhi dholbach07:06
dholbachhi ajmitch07:07
* ajmitch shoudl count up how many channels dholbach says good morning in :)07:07
dholbach:)07:07
ajmitchall of a sudden irssi lit up with activity07:07
ajmitchhow are you today?07:08
dholbachdoing well, thanks :)07:08
dholbachhow are you?07:08
dholbachhow's life down there?07:08
ajmitchgood, busy...07:09
ajmitchgot pycon in 1 week, my desktop pc died yesterday, noticed that I expire from the ARB in 3 weeks... ;)07:09
ajmitchjust the usual07:09
dholbachhow's that "the usual"? :)07:10
dholbachdid you have a backup for your desktop pc?07:10
ajmitchnot really, but it seemed to be the power supply that's died07:10
dholbachah, so the disk and everything else is still fine07:11
dholbach?07:11
ajmitchI hope so :)07:12
ajmitchit was overdue for replacement anyway07:12
* ajmitch has mostly been using the laptop for any real work07:12
dholbachyeah, same here - I haven't touched the desktop machine I have for a long time :)07:14
* ajmitch has a new laptop arriving in a few days frmo zareason, too07:15
dholbachnice07:16
dholbachvery nice07:16
ajmitchhopefully :)07:16
ajmitchit's so nice to have a company in NZ that sells systems with ubuntu pre-installed :)07:17
dholbachyeah :)07:17
* dpm reads ajmitch's sandboxing link07:32
ajmitchdpm: it's something where I'm worried there can be a substantial backlash if not implemented & communicated well07:33
dpmajmitch, I agree. We were actually talking about it yesterday with Jono and mhall. In any case, our sandbox should be fairly permissive07:34
dpmhere's a first cut at the UI, which shows the permissions too: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppDevUploadProcess?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=MyApps%2B-%2BSecurity%2Btab.png07:35
dpmbut this might still be subject to change before we do the public announcement to review the spec07:36
ajmitchlooks reasonable for a start, I imagine that we'd add to the available permissions over time07:38
dpmyeah, and in fact this list is still under discussion07:54
