[17:02] <coolbhavi> hey dpm
[17:02] <coolbhavi> read your mail now
[17:05] <dpm> hey coolbhavi, welcome back :)
[17:06] <coolbhavi> dpm, I can register for the ARB review blueprint
[17:06] <coolbhavi> tell me if I need to do something else
[17:07] <dpm> coolbhavi, excellent, thanks. Just a couple of things:
[17:07] <dpm> - Could you use the prefix 'appdev-r-' for the name of the blueprint? This way it will go automatically to the app devs track
[17:08] <dpm> - Could you set the Approver to jonobacon? I'll then make sure he approves it and it gets into the schedule
[17:08] <coolbhavi> sure
[17:08] <dpm> coolbhavi, actually, you can set the approver to me, which will save me pinging Jono
[17:09] <coolbhavi> done
[17:09] <coolbhavi> just give me 2 mins
[17:10] <dpm> great, thanks!
[17:13] <coolbhavi> dpm, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/appdev-r-arb-review
[17:15] <dpm> coolbhavi, excellent, thanks! I'll get it approved. Do you mind if I add a few notes to the whiteboard?
[17:15] <coolbhavi> dpm, please go ahead!
[17:16] <dpm> coolbhavi, also, make sure to subscribe yourself to it, so that it appears on your UDS calendar, and the session auto-scheduler can do its work
[17:16]  * dpm forgets about it sometimes
[17:16] <coolbhavi> dpm, done :)
[17:17] <coolbhavi> dpm, I'll just fire up a quick post on the mailing list so that interested people can subscribe
[17:18] <dpm> coolbhavi, sounds great
[17:20] <dpm> ok, it seems I can't approve the ARB blueprint. jono, could you approve https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/appdev-r-arb-review so that it is imported into summit?
[17:24] <jono> dpm, done
[17:24] <dpm> cool, thanks jono
[17:24] <coolbhavi> dpm, just posted on the mailing list
[17:24] <coolbhavi> thanks jono
[17:24] <jono> :-)
[17:25] <dpm> coolbhavi, in about 30 min you should see the session on the App Dev track: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-r/track/appdev/
[17:25] <coolbhavi> dpm, great!
[17:27] <coolbhavi> ll reply to your mail now dpm
[17:27] <dpm> super
[17:33] <coolbhavi> done
[17:33] <coolbhavi> if there are any other things related to the arb I can help
[17:35] <coolbhavi> ajmitch, good morning if you are around :)
[17:35] <dpm> coolbhavi, I think that should be it for now. If you could think of suggestions for streamlining the process of reviews (e.g. reducing the number of required votes, simplifying reviews, etc...), and if you could add them to the whiteboard, I think that'd be really helpful to drive the discussion
[17:36] <dpm> coolbhavi, also, if you think any other ARB session is needed, feel free to register it. Just ping me and I'll make sure it's approved
[17:36] <coolbhavi> dpm, yes I do have :) discussion of the new app dev process
[17:37] <coolbhavi> maybe we can have as a separate session?
[17:39] <dpm> coolbhavi, sure, it all depends on what you want to get out of that session. We've got one scheduled for the new app dev process already: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-r/meeting/21213/the-new-ubuntu-app-developer-upload-process/ - I'd suggest you have a look to see if that covers it, and then you can decide if you want to register a separate one
[17:40] <coolbhavi> dpm, seems fine!
[17:41] <dpm> coolbhavi, also, there's this question on Ask Ubuntu the ARB might want to answer. It's a tricky one, so I confess I'm just passing the hot potato to you guys :) - http://askubuntu.com/questions/204706/is-the-ubuntu-application-review-board-dead
[17:41] <coolbhavi> arb dead?
[17:41] <coolbhavi> hmm
[17:42] <coolbhavi> ll reply
[17:59] <coolbhavi> dpm, replied
[18:01] <coolbhavi> dpm, does it sound a bit direct?
[18:02] <dpm> coolbhavi, thanks. Sounds good, and being direct is never a problem if done respectfully :)
[18:02] <coolbhavi> haha thanks :)
[18:11] <coolbhavi> dpm, regarding the lowering of voting threshold m a bit skeptical
[18:11] <dpm> coolbhavi, why is that?
[18:12] <coolbhavi> as I personally believe more number of eyeballs leads to a quality review
[18:12] <coolbhavi> i.e the quality of review increases
[18:55] <ajmitch> morning (though coolbhavi has now disappeared)
[18:57] <ajmitch> dpm: so I'd love to mark myself as attending those arb sessions on summit, but summit is crashing & burning on me :)
[19:03] <ajmitch> dpm: fwiw, the scheduler has put the new upload process & arb review in the same timeslot
[19:11] <dpm> ajmitch, crashing is to be expected of any software, but I'd be worried about the burning part :)
[19:11] <dpm> ajmitch, so you're coming to UDS?
[19:17] <dpm> and thanks for the heads up, trying to sort out the time for that session so that it doesn't conflict
[19:19] <ajmitch> dpm: yes I'll be at UDS
[19:19] <ajmitch> yes I need to catch up & reply to email :)
