smartboyhwttoine, did you get your membership?02:37
smartboyhwWhat the....Why they didn't approve it!?\02:39
micahgsmartboyhw: it was made very clear in the meeting why it wasn't approved02:50
holsteinyeah.. not a big deal... next time should be no problem02:52
holsteinsmartboyhw: YO02:58
smartboyhwholstein, YO02:59
* smartboyhw is trying to see whether linux-rt 3 6.9-rt21 works on quantal02:59
holsteinsmartboyhw: nice... let us know02:59
smartboyhwholstein, :D compiled the source already03:00
holsteini have a PPA from the xubuntu team for some dual head stuff i want to check out on my 12.10 test partition soon03:00
smartboyhwGood morning len-dt BTW:P03:40
Len-nbGM how are you?03:40
smartboyhwLen-nb, fine:D03:41
* smartboyhw is still uploading the 3.6.9-rt21 kernel to his website03:43
Len-nbThe 3.* series kernels seem to be poorer for low latency work. Audio is not the only use for RT and some of the other uses are throughput centric.03:48
smartboyhwLen-nb, I do agree03:48
Len-nbIn fact it may not be the kernel itself, but some of the modules.03:48
smartboyhwTrying to compare the diffs03:48
smartboyhwzequence, you are correct. There is a script specialized to automate the update process. It is in the git branch's ./debian.lowlatency/etc/update-from-master file.08:52
zequencesmartboyhw: I'm aware of the script, yes08:52
smartboyhwOuch08:53
smartboyhwzequence, BTW how are ya today?08:53
zequencesmartboyhw: A bit tired. Was up late last night. How are you?08:53
smartboyhwzequence, good08:53
smartboyhwzequence, BTW you got that "Ubuntu Studio Community" invitation?08:57
zequencesmartboyhw: Yeah. Seems like Google did an update to their services. Also, Youtube has changed09:08
smartboyhwzequence, Google big change:D09:09
ttoinehello10:03
smartboyhwHi ttoine 10:05
ttoinezequence, is there a problem with the raringblueprintscategories page ?11:56
zequencettoine: Nope. I split the blueprints into two. One for the release, and one for non-release(permanent)11:59
zequencehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PermanentBlueprintOverview11:59
ttoinezequence, I would like to add a workitem in PR12:00
zequenceThings like PR, Documentation. Things that are not tested on a ISO, are not included in the approved blueprints for Ubuntu Raring12:00
ttoine[ubuntustudio-dev]  create @ubuntustudio.org email adresse for the PR team. It is needed at least to catch the Twitter account.12:00
ttoinebut I can't, maybe I don't do it the right way12:00
ttoinezequence, ok12:01
zequencettoine: What do you think? Should we only have one account, like "official@ubuntustudio.org", or individual accounts?12:07
zequenceWe could have both of course12:07
zequenceAn official account could then be redirected to other email adresses, if we only use one12:08
zequencettoine: I don't understand about the twitter account though. Catch what?12:10
smartboyhwHi scott-work 13:04
smartboyhwscott-work, zequence and ttoine are talking about setting up e-mail accounts13:04
scott-workhi smartboyhw , good morning13:08
scott-worksmartboyhw: what is the purpose of said e-mail accounts?13:09
smartboyhwscott-work, they want to use it to catch the Twitter account13:11
smartboyhwscott-work, BTW the Release Team says that it is the team we should start doing weekly reports to ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com, so I will continue to send like before 12.10 released, right?13:12
scott-worksmartboyhw: absolutely (re: reports), i cannot tell you how big of a relief it is to me for you to do those reports :)13:12
scott-worksmartboyhw: (re: email account and twitter) ahhhhhh, yes. i thought ttoine was contacting elizabeth to talk about ubuntustudio getting an official email account (ala xubuntu did) for twitter, etc13:13
scott-worki wonder if we should hear back from ttoine before we move forward on creating a twitter account13:14
smartboyhwscott-work, /me agrees13:15
ttoinezequence, an email adress @ubuntustudio.org is needed to fill the request to get the twitter account13:15
smartboyhwttoine, have you asked pleia2 yet on this?13:16
scott-workttoine: did you get a chance to talk to pleia2 (aka elizbath) about how to do this?13:16
smartboyhwscott-work, LOL13:16
smartboyhw1 second delay:P13:16
ttoinesmartboyhw, yes, I asked her13:16
* smartboyhw is finding it difficult to download the 3.6.9-rt21 kernel he compiled to a Studio 12.10 VM13:17
ttoineyesterday evening I tried to become a member13:17
smartboyhwttoine, and failed due to not sustained contributions13:17
smartboyhwright?13:17
ttoinesmartboyhw, yes, that's the point. actually, if I asked for membership in 2007, I may have it...13:17
ttoinethe board said that it is not possible at the moment.13:18
smartboyhwttoine, that's five years late:P13:18
scott-workttoine: does being a member affect getting the @ubuntustudio.org email account?13:18
smartboyhwI might even possibly get membership earlier than you then ttoine 13:18
ttoinesmartboyhw, yes, I know... but I was thinking that being a member was more like an award. And it is now that it would be usefull that I can't be member ;-)13:18
smartboyhwttoine, uh!?13:18
ttoinescott-work, that's the point i would like to chat with you13:19
ttoineis it possible for the PR team to have ubuntustudio.org email ?13:19
ttoineor not at all ?13:19
smartboyhwttoine, yes of course....13:20
smartboyhwscott-work permitted you on that13:20
smartboyhwam I wrong!?13:20
ttoineI don't know13:20
ttoineand I don't even know how to have such an email13:21
smartboyhwttoine, what did pleia2 tell you about the email account?13:21
ttoinesmartboyhw, nothing. she give me the email address of a guy working at twitter13:21
ttoinethis guy helped her to get the twitter account13:22
scott-workttoine: i do not understand what you are asking with regards to the pr team and the email account. i should note that you are on the pr team, however.13:22
ttoineand he told me that it would be easier with an ubuntu or ubuntustudio email13:22
ttoinescott-work, we chat yesterday evening with zequence and micahg 13:23
ttoinemicahg told that xubuntu provide some xubuntu.org email address to some of the team member13:24
ttoineand that to get the email address, an ubuntustudio.org would be usefull13:25
smartboyhwttoine, the problem is that we don't know how to set it up right?13:25
ttoinesmartboyhw, that is why I ask scott-work about that, maybe he would know13:25
smartboyhwttoine, I think we need to find the Canonical IS, because normally we should find the hosting provider for our ubuntustudio.org website, and so that means we need to find IS13:27
ttoinesmartboyhw, what is the best way to contact them ?13:27
smartboyhwttoine, I think it means to open a ticket in rt.ubuntu.com13:27
* smartboyhw thinks Canonical IS will surely kill us for having so many tickets in rt:P13:27
scott-workoh, i don't know how to set up that email account. i suspect that this will mean contacting the controlling canonical group via an RT ticket13:28
smartboyhwttoine, you file one then:P13:28
scott-workheh, just read what smartboyhw typed13:28
ttoinescott-work, may I do that ? or it is up to you ?13:28
smartboyhwscott-work, LOL13:28
scott-workttoine: you can certainly do it :)13:29
smartboyhwBut then we need to decide also what email accounts we need13:29
smartboyhwAnd tell them to set it up all at once;P13:29
ttoinescott-work, so before opening a ticket, it would be usefull to think who whould need a ubunstudio.org email13:29
ttoineso we can open only one ticket for everyone13:29
ttoinesmartboyhw, you where faster than me13:30
smartboyhwttoine, I am fast on typing:P13:30
smartboyhw(at least faster than balloons on QA Team)13:30
ttoinescott-work, smartboyhw, can one of you tell me how I can add a work item on a launchpad blueprint ?13:36
smartboyhwttoine, um like this13:36
smartboyhw[ttoine] the message: TODO/INPROGRESS/BLOCKED/DONE13:37
* smartboyhw finds the new dependency table in topic-flavor-ubuntustudio more messier than ever:(13:38
smartboyhwGod's sake!!!!13:38
* scott-work is working backwards up the backscroll ;)13:40
scott-worksmartboyhw: yes, i think we had too many "finely focused" blueprints and the dependencies are slightly wacky13:41
smartboyhwscott-work, let us tell zequence :P13:41
scott-worki think he and i already talked about it in a loosely manner (i.e. it was a secondary observation in regards to a different topic of discussion)13:42
smartboyhwttoine, well actually 1. PR team is almost = Website Team and 2. That will mean 7 accounts plus a official@ubuntustudio.org accounts or something13:42
ttoinesmartboyhw, thanks.13:42
scott-workttoine: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorkItemsHowto13:42
smartboyhwscott-work, :D13:43
scott-workthis is a really good (and official!) explanation of the work items13:43
smartboyhwttoine, um I think not only the PR guys should get one account. For example, len-dt is not on website or PR team, but then he should get an account.13:44
scott-workttoine: i presume you have a launchpad account and are logged in though ;)  and you should just click the yellow circle with the black exclamation point13:44
scott-worksmartboyhw: ttoine: i hadn't really considered if we are getting multiple @ubuntustudio.org accounts. my original thought was that there would be one that was shared. hmmmm, this requires reconsideration obviously on my part.13:45
ttoinescott-work, I can undserstand this point of view13:45
smartboyhwscott-work, yeah I didn't think about that too13:45
ttoineit is quite new ;-)13:46
ttoinescott-work, but it will be great, if the aim is still to create a team13:47
smartboyhwttoine, aren't we originally supposed to create a team?:P13:47
smartboyhwAnd we created the PR team (aka website team)13:47
scott-workttoine:  instead of creating another team, we decided to use the -website team, especially since the -website team already has access to the website13:47
ttoinesmartboyhw, of course, PR and Website team are just a base. thats' why I think we should chat about who should have an email account13:48
scott-workalthough i still need to fix the hierarchy of the teams so that being part of the -website team doesn't grant access to the code :P13:48
smartboyhwttoine, um that will cause people arguing about it:P13:48
smartboyhwscott-work, that doesn13:48
smartboyhw't take you 5 minutes:P13:48
ttoinescott-work, and if we have only one "official@ubuntustudio.org" address, how can we manage to share it ?13:50
zequencettoine: It can be redirected13:50
zequenceOr, what's the word?13:51
zequenceas was said, we only need to create a rt ticket for the emails13:51
smartboyhwzequence, FORWARD:P13:51
zequenceI'm assuming they have simple tools for creating email accouns, so this should not be a big problem. Would be good if we first decided how many accounts, and then sent one ticket only13:52
zequencesmartboyhw: Yea, thanks13:52
ttoinezequence, that's why we were talking about13:53
zequencettoine: I don't understand why it would be easier to have a @ubuntu account or @ubuntustudio in order to create a twitter account13:53
zequencettoine: Yes, I know. That is why I was asking you about this earlier13:53
zequenceWhy do we need a @ubuntustudio.org email account?13:54
zequenceOther than it looks fancy13:54
ttoinezequence, actually, I didn't know that is was possible to create ubuntustudio.org emails. but according to the contact of plei2, and ubuntustudio.org email would be better13:54
zequencettoine: Better for what?13:55
smartboyhwzequence, I think it was that if we don't set that up Twitter will probably assume we are not an organization and may not permit us to set up the Twitter account13:55
ttoinezequence, the other purpose is if we contact other companies than twitter. For example, to get sponsorship.13:55
smartboyhwttoine, why we need sponsorship!?13:55
scott-workthe xubuntu's twitter account is pretty tight looking: https://twitter.com/Xubuntu13:55
ttoinezequence, to get the @ubuntustudio twitter account. 13:55
ttoineit already registered by someone we don't know and don't answer.13:56
smartboyhwttoine, oh is it?13:56
zequencettoine: Ok, I see.13:56
ttoinesmartboyhw, it is. and there is a huge form to fill13:56
zequenceSo, how about we ask to get email accounts for all current active members on the Ubuntu Studio team?13:56
smartboyhwNkunzimana Herve... Who is that guy?13:57
smartboyhwzequence, how to define then?13:57
ttoinesmartboyhw, hehe, you are really fast13:57
scott-workttoine: zequence: if a @ubuntu or @ubuntustudio account is required, both zequence and i have a @ubuntu.com email account13:57
smartboyhwttoine, I am fast:P13:57
smartboyhw14-year-olds are supposed to be fast:p13:57
scott-workttoine: zequence: so, if we can clear the twitter accounts with an @ubuntu.com email address, do we still _need_ @ubuntustudio.org for other purposes?13:57
ttoinescott-work, you can try with your @ubuntu email. but be sure that with a ubuntustudio.org email it will be better13:58
smartboyhwIf we can try to avoid setting  @ubuntustudio.org email accounts the better13:58
ttoinescott-work, I think, yes, that some time it will be usefull. at least to send official emails on mailing lists13:58
ttoineit will be more clear if we can have a "official@ubuntustudio.org" or a "team@ubuntustudio.org"13:59
ttoineor something like that13:59
smartboyhwttoine, well that might be a good way14:00
ttoinean other example :  I often contact companies like Echo, harrison, or developpers of some projects like colord, inkscape, etc. to get some news.14:00
ttoineand sometime, using my own email address is not the easy way14:00
zequencettoine: In those cases it's much better to have a personal eamil14:00
zequenceI mean like ttoine @ubuntustudio.org14:01
* smartboyhw faints over this email discussion:!14:01
zequenceBut using such an email should probably only be used for official stuff14:02
smartboyhwzequence, yep14:02
smartboyhwBut yet again: How to define official stuff?14:02
zequencesmartboyhw: The kind that is defined on the PR page14:03
zequenceAs well as what ttoine just mentioned14:03
smartboyhwSo like, I can't use for example smartboyhw@ubuntustudio.org (if I get one) to post to the Ubuntu QA Mailing list right? 14:03
smartboyhwzequence, so only for news14:03
zequenceWhen one of us is communicating on behalf of Ubuntu Studio, and not on behalf of ourselves14:03
ttoinezequence, of course, only official use14:03
smartboyhwMy account is going to rust then14:03
smartboyhwOnly two news per cycle: Beta testing and RC testing:P14:03
zequencesmartboyhw: At least not use it to post political opinions on diverse mail lists, and that sort of thing14:04
smartboyhwzequence, sorry: How to define political opinions? (Sorry on kept asking, I just don't want to do anything wrong:P)14:05
scott-worksmartboyhw: i think he meant, don't offer _your_ opinion on something with official email, only opinions from the team should be posted with the @ubuntustudio.org account14:07
smartboyhwscott-work, OK14:07
scott-workokay: let's say smartboyhw, ttoine, zequence, len-dt , and me get "official" email accounts. is that excluding anyone who might have a _real_ need for one?14:08
smartboyhwscott-work, holstein needs one14:08
zequenceholstein too I think14:08
zequenceastraljava?14:08
* smartboyhw agrees14:08
scott-worki.e. is anyone else possibly going to be making routine or regular posts for any reason that would require the email account (this excludes the website stuff that should also post to social)14:09
zequenceProbably the PR team, and any leading team member might have use for it, but that covers just about everyone14:09
smartboyhwYeah zequence ttoine scott-work smartboyhw holstein len-dt astraljava 14:09
smartboyhwThat's the list14:09
smartboyhwAt least for now14:09
scott-work"make it so, number two"14:10
smartboyhwscott-work, ?14:10
scott-worksorry, was a reference to star trek saying "do it" ;)14:11
zequenceI'll make a ticket then14:11
zequenceI'll use the launchpad id's and email adresses for everyone as contact info14:12
smartboyhwzequence, OK14:12
scott-workof course, i outed myself as a crappy star trek (the next generation) fan as i messed up the quote. it should have been "make it so, number *one*"14:12
zequence:D14:12
scott-workhttp://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=make%20it%20so%2C%20Number%20One14:12
ttoinelooks good14:13
ttoinebbl14:15
scott-worki like it when we discuss items, make a decision (even if it is not _perfect_), and then do it :)14:15
scott-workwe can always iterate and pivot if necessary14:16
smartboyhwscott-work, yay14:16
* smartboyhw wonders has zequence got a new title: Ubuntu Studio Canonical IS contact:P14:16
smartboyhwscott-work, so I will update the whiteboard on who will get accounts....14:23
smartboyhwI mean on the PR blueprint14:23
scott-worksure14:23
smartboyhwscott-work, check your email box14:26
smartboyhwIs that correct?14:26
scott-worksmartboyhw: i haven't received anything yet. i'll keep checking, though14:28
smartboyhwscott-work, eh? I got it 2 seconds after I changed it:P14:28
scott-workoh, sorry. you mean for a blueprint. i have that going to a different folder in gmail. i see it now. checking....14:29
smartboyhwscott-work, LOL14:29
scott-worklooks good. i wonder if we should also have an 'info' or 'contact' email account. not sure that we really need it.14:30
smartboyhwscott-work, um let ttoine come back first14:30
smartboyhwAnd we shall discuss it more:P14:31
zequencescott-work: I'll add a contact@ubuntustudio.org and ask to have that directed to you then14:32
smartboyhwzequence, let me add it to the blueprint whiteboard14:33
holsteinwow14:38
smartboyhwholstein, wow what?:P14:38
holsteindo we really get ubuntustudio email addys?14:38
holsteinthats cool14:38
holsteini get an ubuntu one, but i dont have it setup properly14:38
smartboyhwholstein, don't forget: That is for OFFICIAL purposes:P14:39
holsteinits awesome!14:40
holsteini would like to approach some folks officially.. i think this is a great idea14:40
smartboyhwholstein, you are the most excited person around here;P14:40
smartboyhwholstein, OFFICIAL for Ubuntu Studio.....14:40
smartboyhwGee we need some explanation14:40
holsteinsmartboyhw: it doesnt take much to get me going14:40
holsteini just mean, getting reviews, or articles or whatever.. would be nice to come from an @ubuntustudio addy :)14:41
smartboyhwholstein, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1416925/ 14:42
smartboyhwThe official log of the birth of the emails (/me rolls his eyes)14:42
scott-workzequence: that sounds good14:44
zequencehttps://rt.ubuntu.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=2078015:00
zequenceI guess everyone got an email about the ticket15:02
holsteini did15:02
zequencesmartboyhw: Why are you wanting to SRU ubuntustudio-default-settings?15:03
zequenceAh, the no help bug15:03
ttoinejust here for 5min15:09
ttoinesmartboyhw, holstein, scott-work, zequence maybe we should write somewhere simple rules about when to use @ubuntustudio.org emails, or not15:10
zequenceEvery year it's the same thing. It starts to snow. Public transportation is in chaos. What? No one anticipated it would snow this winter too?15:11
holsteinhow about... "ubuntustudio related"15:11
zequencettoine: I guess we could add more stuff to the PR page15:11
ttoinezequence, and you are not living in france... when there is 2mm of snow, people just can't drive anymore in big cities... trucks are stopped on highways, etc.15:12
zequencettoine: Everything there applies, I think. But we could add more, like what you said about contacting vendors15:12
ttoinezequence, yes, for sure.15:12
ttoineI have to go and get my son at school. bbl15:12
zequencettoine: In France you don't change to winter tires, right? Here at least car traffic is not that bad. It's just the trains and trams, and buses to some extent15:13
zequenceThis part of Sweden is just in between the pro snow, and the amateur snow15:13
zequenceWe get a few days of bad weather each year, and there's not enough resources to handle that, since there's no need for most of the year15:14
holsteinyeah, thats similar to here15:15
holsteina little snow knocks everything out15:16
smartboyhwzequence, uh len-dt made the change in July but then it has not been fixed. This fixes Bug 1041882 you know:P15:16
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1041882 in ubuntustudio-default-settings (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu Studio 12.04.1 does not have help" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104188215:16
smartboyhwsome rules about when to use the account will be good15:16
zequenceI'm just on my way to meet a tram, that is delayed, but I can bet it won't be in time for it's announced delay15:17
zequenceIt'll be later then the late it was supposed to be15:17
zequencesmartboyhw: I'll have a look at that.15:18
zequencebye for now15:18
smartboyhwzequence, bye15:18
micahgscott-work: I said Kubuntu, not Xubuntu15:43
scott-workmicahg: ah15:44
len-dtzequence, the settings smartboyhw was talking about are in a branch ( -settings.precise ) because the new settings 12.10 and up would not work with 12.04. (xfce 4.8 - 4.10 differences). The precise package has been built and tested against 12.04 ok. I do have a copy of it around somewhere (the *.deb).22:52
len-dtBut I think it would normally be rebuilt anyway for release.22:53
* len-dt is not worried about if he should have a US mail address.22:55
