ochosiknome: ok, sounds good14:45
knomeochosi, yeah, easier to get it in that way (we got uife/ffe already)14:45
elfyknome: I can do any of them except autoresize - not sure I'd trust it14:46
knomeochosi, as you probably noted from the bug14:46
ochosibtw, for R blackbird will become a dark theme, not mixed as it was up to now14:46
knomeelfy, well, that's probably why you should =)14:46
elfyha ha 14:46
knomeelfy, but if you don't want to, that's ok14:46
elfywell I could but I'd be disconnecting media drive :D14:47

knomei can do it under vbox14:47
elfyknome: how about I check in here first thing - look at the tracker see what's been done and let you know what I can do 14:48
knomeelfy, nothing's been done right now14:48

* smartboyhw wonders if he just got astraljava's position in Ubuntu Studio can he also do the Xubuntu one...:P escapes15:12
knomeand what i said ^15:12
elfyI'm happy to do it - but not sure whether I'd manage the tasks as I con't know then15:12
astraljavaKeeping in touch with development of Xubuntu, staying up-to-date with vanilla, in relation to our flavor.15:12
elfys/don't15:12
knomeelfy, we'll help you with it15:12
elfyok then 15:12

knomethose in the xubuntu-team can access and edit the draft, just login with ubuntu SSO at xubuntu.org/wp-admin15:14
knomefeel free to add anything you think might be worth mentioning15:14
knomeit's easier to remove stuff than think if we missed something...15:15
elfywell I'd be inclined to let people know they might get 2 instances of drives on desktop/in thunar15:15
knomeoh, right15:16
knomesince elfy is the QA contact person now, i'll add him to ~xubuntu-team at LP later today15:16

ochosioh good15:19
knomewill make that the default page for Roadmap soonish15:19
knomeand there's the main blueprint too...15:19
ochosiactually i'll quickly update that page a bit15:20
knomeif only i can find that15:20
ochosithere are a few issues that could be dropped, because they actually belong to xfce15:20
knome#info https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/topic-r-flavor-xubuntu15:20
knomethat15:20
knomelet's get back to those a bit more informally during the next week(s)15:21
knome#subtopic Schedule next meeting15:21
knomeis there any reason why we should have a meeting next week?15:21
ochosidunno, any b2 related stuff we need to discuss?15:21
ochosi(i don't think so)15:21
knomenot really, unless things break horribly15:22
knomewhich we don't hope to happen, so...15:22
ochosik, sounds good15:22
knomeso two weeks from now?15:23
knomeit's about a week before release15:23

knomethanks15:24
knomei'll put the meetings up later again15:24
smartboyhwThx knome, congrats elfy and thx astraljava 15:24
elfyastraljava knome - I'll let you know in the channel I invited you too :)15:25
ochosiknome: never sure what to add to the release-notes. "new and better artwork"? i could write that every release...15:25
knomeochosi, yeah, it's good to mention that every time.15:26
ochosik, i guess my stuff is already there15:27
ochosiartwork and parole mostly15:27
GridCubeD: there was a meeting?15:42
knomeyep15:42
knomeanyway, i'm not really off15:42
knomesee you all later!15:42
GridCubethere was a mail about i missed it?15:42
knomenot sure15:42
knomeprobably not, but the meetings page would have told you15:42
smartboyhwGridCube, yes you missed the meeting clearly:P15:42
knomeyou should probably subscribe to the meetings wikipage15:43
knometo get notifications of changes15:43
knome:)15:43
knomelet's look at that later.15:43
knomesee you!15:43
knome->15:43
GridCube:/15:43
smartboyhwGridCube, don't worry:)15:44
smartboyhwJust some er HR changes:P15:44
astraljavaochosi: So yeah, about my future contributions; I'll start doing less regular activities, cause what I'm about to start won't permit as constant watching over the flavor as that position required. This does mean, though, that more spurious development activities can be more easily engaged.15:45
ochosiastraljava: that sounds good actually15:46
astraljavaWon't be disbanding the community, but likely won't commit to many things that are dependant to release schedules.15:46
astraljavaI've been involved with developing Studio for 6+ years now, it's about time to actually start using it. :)15:46
smartboyhwastraljava, LOL15:47
smartboyhwastraljava, srsly you haven't er USED it before?:P15:47
astraljavaSo, whenever I spot an issue with anything related to the processes, I might make an attempt to fix it.15:47
astraljavasmartboyhw: I've used the distribution, but not the main tools it carries.15:47
smartboyhwastraljava, ah.15:47
astraljavaIe. recording utilities, sound processing tools etc.15:48
* smartboyhw uses Ubuntu Studio mainly for video purpose:P (To get rid of Windows 8 and time to install single apps:P15:48
SkippersBossi ve missed the meeting sorry guess15:56
SkippersBossguys15:56
elfyknome: well I wrote to the -dev and -users list re the beta test - hope that it looks like what you want :)16:13
elfyastraljava or knome - or in fact anyone who knows - where are the testcases that people can follow now, the wiki long one still exists but the short one appears to have disappeared18:25
Unit193I have a script that basically has the info.18:40
astraljavaelfy: That is interesting, for sure. Anyway, you might wanna talk to balloons and phillw, the new testcase format has stepped in, and you can have a look at those from the iso.qa.u.c links.18:40
astraljavaelfy: Currently Xubuntu is a little behind on those, my apologies for that.18:41
astraljavaBut there are still testcases there, I'm sure there's a fallback case or something in place.18:41
elfythe short one has disappeared :(18:47
elfyfrom the wiki tests18:47
elfyI mailed the lists to get people to do some - first thing I get asked is where's the info to test against lol18:48
Unit193https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Testing/Short?action=recall&rev=5  knome Marked it as moved.18:50
elfywell I don't what we're supposed to use :(18:52
elfyif someone can work it out I'd be grateful if they can post to the lists - I've got to go 18:53
Unit193http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1433/info and http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1434/info ?  Second seems like the long one though. :/18:58
Unit193https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases/XubuntuDesktop  Old one.  I still like the short one best.19:00
elfyUnit193: thanks those 2 look like the riight ones I assume that 1433 is for the installation tests and 1434 is for post installation19:05
elfynot many of the tests appear to have xubuntu testcases19:06
elfygive up - got to go - cya later19:06
Unit193Yeah, don't know where short is.19:06
Unit193Adios.19:06
knomeastraljava, all the testcases are in the ISO tracker19:12
knomeastraljava, we're actually *ahead* in it :)19:13
astraljavaknome: *oops*19:13
knomehehe19:13
knomeyeah, i should delete the long test from the wiki.19:13
astraljavaSo you've merged everything into the new testcase tracker? I was just puzzled because it said it didn't belong to any Xubuntu test suites.19:14
knomeyes, they're all in the tracker19:14
knomehttp://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/238/builds/24260/testcases19:14
astraljavaOh, sorry again. My eyes are not what they used to be, it seems.19:14
knomeas you see, there's the old (installation) tests19:14
knomeand there's the post-installation (short) and desktop (long) tests19:15
bluesabreochosi should start a series of gimp-tutorials :)19:16
knomeyou mean now that we removed it from the default installation? :P19:17
bluesabreyes19:17
bluesabre:D19:17
ochosibluesabre: i'd need nerves of steel for something like that :)19:17
knomerather create some inkscape tutorials19:17
bluesabretrue19:17
knomethough that sounds something i should do19:18
bluesabreUntil we get a Xubuntu HUD, inkscape will continue to be difficult to navigate19:18
ochosiyeah19:18
ochosiinkscape is UI hell19:18
knomenah19:18
knomeyou aren't just competent19:19
knome:P19:19
knomeok, i'm off19:20
knomeback when i'm home19:20
Os_Maleushey guys! 20:56
Os_MaleusI wanted to get a big thanks to You all rid here! You did and are doing an amazingly great job! keep up with that! 20:56
Os_MaleusActually, I have no big idea how a PC is working. But with a bit of interest, I have changed a year ago over to Xubuntu. before, I was using Windows. Having another profession than IT, I don't believe, I will manage to understand everything about Linux. But meanwhile I manage to do some things even better than I was able to perform with Windows. Your working-result makes really fun to use and I am even thinking about to kick down Windows20:56
ochosiOs_Maleus: thanks, always very nice to hear! :)21:01
