jasnowI tried to triage the Rails bugs during Global Jam last weekend but had hard time to learn specific processes/terms14:08
gema_aren't loco communities contributing already?14:08
gema_QUESTION: ^14:08
commandoline_It's not that easy for LoCo's where English isn't the native language, I think. You need to contact the right people that can spread it inside the loco14:08
gema_what happens when tests fail? they still need to raise bugs14:10
txwikinger-udsIt is a misunderstading to think hat testing by amateurs is veryeffective14:10
gema_txwikinger-uds: agreed14:10
gema_balloons: can you share the link to the hangout?14:10
jasnowplease add name in lower third14:10
ElderDryasand nick14:11
txwikinger-uds95% of te LUG memberss here are male14:13
txwikinger-udsAgreed gema_14:13
txwikinger-udsSame as their are skils for development ... their are skills for testing14:14
txwikinger-udstheir->there14:14
thomiQUESTION: I think it's important to identify a range of roles, and clearly identify which skills each role requires. THis is something the KDE project used to do very well. I don't currently know if this is documented abywhere?14:15
* thomi looks for the old KDE documentaton14:15
thomihmm, it seems to have gone downhill, but something like this: http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute14:17
balloonsinteresting thom14:17
balloons*thomim14:17
thomigema_: I think tests need to be written in coordination with upstream projects, where possible. Otherwise, it's too easy to write a test that doesn't actually test what you want14:18
txwikinger-udsI have stopped filing automatic bugs since most of the time they are duplicates14:19
txwikinger-udsNever got acconplishmebts working on my machine... given I gave up quite a time ago14:20
jasnowmanual vs. automated tester?14:21
thomiballoons: maybe 'role' is the wrong word... makes it sound too much like a job....14:21
gema_thomi: profile?14:21
thomigema_: ++14:22
thomiyep14:22
phillwtxwikinger-uds: it is still useful to file the automated bugs as it updates the database for 'how hot' a bug is.14:23
thomiballoons: I was thinking more along the lines of: if I'm new to Ubuntu, and I want to help the quality team, where do I go to see what I can do?14:23
janofhow do you get the name at the bottom of screen ?14:23
balloonsanyone who wishes to join in the hangout.. speak up :-014:24
txwikingerphillw: Sorry... having to work for living, I do not have the time for things that 95% of the time are not used14:24
phillwI though it was updated as part of the daisy database?14:24
balloonsjanof, use lower third.. in the hangout toolbox14:24
philipballewanyone know numbers these days?14:24
txwikinger-udsYou have to define community... if you say "everybody that uses Ubuntu" --- only a small percentage will be willing to contribute14:26
balloonstxwikinger, what do you mean?14:27
balloonsthomi, this is a start on: https://qa.ubuntu.com/getting-involved/14:28
thomiphilipballew: I suspect that for many/most people, it's a percieved problem, rather than an actual one?14:28
SergioMenesesam I late?14:28
SergioMenesesjeje14:28
SergioMenesesmorning!14:28
txwikinger-udsI know  more people I was able to convince to use Ubuntu than people that were willing to go the next step and contribute14:28
cprofittI think one of the critical things about attracting new users is making sure that 'new' contributors understand that running the development version is important14:29
cprofittthose 'bugs' are the ones that are going to be more likely to be fixed14:29
airurando_udsIf the bar is lowered your potential contributor base increases dramatically.14:29
SergioMenesescprofitt, ++14:29
cprofittI have to run to a meeting soon, but will you be discusing what the change from checkbox to plainbox is going to have on testing?14:30
balloonscprofitt, now I'll point people to your session14:30
cprofittthanks balloons14:30
cprofittwill plainbox answer Gema's concern about checkbox?14:31
gema_cprofitt: what is plainbox?14:32
cprofittgema_: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1303/meeting/21607/client-1303-new-checkbox-core-plainbox/14:32
cjohnstonballoons: the translations team could help with translating it to other language, so that we could get testing from non-english speakers14:32
thomithere's no point translating checkbox tests if you don't think they're any good.14:32
cprofittnot really sure what plainbox is...14:33
cjohnstonthomi: true, but it could be improved14:33
thomicjohnston: yup, but every time you change the english text you need to re-translate, so make them good *first*, then translate them to different languages...14:33
cjohnstoncorrect14:33
cprofittthere are also issues, I think, with checkbox failing tests even though the computers is ok14:33
cprofittI would prefer that tests be resumable as well14:34
cprofittthere is a Ubuntu Friendly one later today14:34
cprofittthanks balloons14:34
cprofittthe easiest tests I have done are the ISO tests14:34
jasnowPartner with http://weekendtesting.com/14:35
cjohnstonWho is the random guy on the hangout without a name? just curious14:35
cprofittcould there be a 'list of tests' that people could download14:36
bladernrOn the other hand, everyone who uses checkbox is free to file bugs requesting improvements to the tests...14:36
cprofittbased on them knowing what their hardware is?14:36
balloonscjohnston, Nathan14:37
cprofittubuntu accomplishments require the server to be able to verify the test was run14:37
cjohnston+1 for philipballew14:37
cjohnstonballoons: ty14:37
balloonsjasnow, ohh.. interesting14:37
balloonshave you used it?14:37
gema_balloons: 5514:38
jasnowuntil 14:5514:38
thomiphilipballew: but that's still better than them not contributing at all, right?14:38
cprofittphilipballew: having them do one test and not liking it is better than them never having known that was an opportunity14:38
cjohnstonphilipballew: 1 test is better than none14:39
cprofittit is a good idea to expose people to the process14:39
thomiheh :)14:39
jasnowIs "Quality" defined as only "testing"?14:39
thomiIRC is united!14:39
balloonsjasnow, not necessarily14:39
txwikinger-udsYou will only get an inflation of rewards.. otherwise it does not work14:39
diwicor produce better code in the first place14:40
txwikinger-udsTDD14:41
diwiceducation? practice?14:41
roadmradding tests to existing projects is hard14:41
roadmrbut it's doable if you somehow show them the benefit14:41
roadmrthe leap from "ok, made a change, now let's click around the project to see how it works" to "made a change, ran a script, stuff auto-tested, ftw" is huge14:42
roadmrI think the biggest gap is in existing projects, as new ones are more likely to be designed with testability in mind14:42
txwikinger-udsjust writing some tests does not do it ... the also need to be maintained hence tests need to be integrated in the development process in the first place14:43
jasnowExample from another community: http://secretmustache.com/2013/03/mozillians-a-big-thank-you.html14:43
roadmrtxwikinger-uds: agreed, that's why it needs to be an integral sales pitch, not just "add tests to your code *now* and you're done"14:43
thomigema_: speaking as an "upstream" developer, I welcome any & all well written tests. *especially* if it finds a regression in my code :)14:43
gema_thomi: that sounds good :D14:44
gema_thomi: but you are a QA oriented upstream :)14:44
thomigema_: yeah... true.14:44
jasnowDo you have a CI server to run your automated tests?14:44
txwikinger-udsrolling releases will only work with Agile practices and TDD14:44
thomigema_: I still think most developers in OSS welcome contributions14:44
commandoline_thomi: +114:45
thomiballoons: yes, exactly. We need to not waste this opportunity.14:46
diwicwould a good idea be to approach upstreams with things such as "you know, you got five bad reviews in USC because your app crash when you do foo"14:48
diwicor launchpad bugs with a lot of people affected14:48
diwicetc14:49
commandoline_diwic: I don't think so. Contributing tests to fix it is positive, just saying it is negative I think.14:49
diwiccommandoline_, well, you need to say it in the right way of course14:49
commandoline_diwic: if done carefully, it can be helpful, yes :)14:50
diwiccommandoline_, I'm just elaborating on the is quality == testing topic, and one indication of quality in broader terms is what people complain about in launchpad and USC14:50
diwiccommandoline_, you can also approach upstream and relay a thanks from the users as given on USC reviews14:51
commandoline_diwic: ok, I agree that passing the info on is useful for the upstreams. Just reacted in the first place because it sounded a bit harsh then.14:52
diwiccommandoline_, to balance the negative14:52
SergioMenesesyou can put it as TODO14:52
diwiccommandoline_, certainly.14:53
jasnowyes14:55

xnoxdholbach: I am here on irc only. All kylin patches for ubiquity have been merged. We still didn't work out how to provide/presseed default timezone / skip that step. That's it from my side.15:02
xnoxnot sure about other packages.15:03
xnoxif there is / isn't something outstanding.15:03
dholbachxnox, Ok - I'll add it to the notes as an agenda item15:03

SergioMenesessure!15:05
adam8157oh, I see ypwong  :)15:05
slangasekypwong: audio still seems very choppy; could you turn down the bandwidth setting on your side?15:06
paulliuIs there bandwidth problem?15:06
adam8157google hangout is blocked in China, and vpn is not very stable, sigh15:07
dholbachypwong, maybe you can check the hangout settings to use something like "low bandwidth settings"?15:09
slangasekdholbach: well, as ypwong has just fallen off IRC, perhaps you can repeat this suggestion to him on the hangout :)15:10
slangasekdholbach: it's the slider that looks like a cell phone signal strength indicator15:12
dholbachslangasek, ah great15:12
dholbachypwong, how can we help? :)15:13
ypwongok15:14
paulliudholbach: He said you dropped.15:14
ypwongit's slow15:14
slangasekypwong: if you turn down your bandwidth setting in the hangout client, it should be better for you15:14
dholbachso you said you have a design and a website - what are the next steps - how can we help?15:14
ypwongslangasek, how to do that?15:14
slangasekypwong: the "cell phone signal strength indicator" looking thing15:14
freeflyi1gypwong: upper right15:14

dholbachanyone else who can explain what needs to be done in terms of the website?15:18
dholbachor the forums?15:18
jzhengdholbach, I am asking ypwong15:18
dholbachI'm happy to put you in touch with the LoCo Community who help set up website/forums/mailing lists and all kinds of things15:18
freeflyi1gdholbach: I guess partly they wanna share the experience about build the community, and also wanna get some feedback/comments15:18
dholbachmany other teams have their infrastructure set up through them15:18
dholbachfreeflyi1g, I don't know - would it help if the two of us would try to go through the agenda?15:19
dholbachthe hangout problems make this discussion a bit hard15:19
ypwongdholbach, jonaszhang is typing15:19
dholbachbut I'd like to help out and adresse a few of them15:19
JackYuhi15:19
freeflyi1gdholbach: maybe we can switch to irc15:19
KylinJonas so can you give us some advice about the layout of the forum?15:20
KylinJonas<KylinJonas> i think the sections of the forum of UbuntuKylin should reflect concerns of Chinese users.15:20
freeflyi1gdholbach: I can try15:21
dholbachfreeflyi1g, cool15:21
JackYuyes, maybe the community should both reflect the concerns of Chinese users and the Ubuntu style.15:23
dholbachJackYu, yes - maybe we have other chinese forums, or even ubuntu related chinese forums we could look at?15:25
JackYuyes, I agree.15:26
dholbachgreat15:26
maclinmaybe, firstly we need to setup seperate section in other chinese forum for ubuntukylin?15:27
KylinJonasbecause culture difference and language issue, it is a little difficult for Chinese beginner to start to contribute, so we want translate some manuals and guide about Ubuntu and Launchpad15:28
dholbachhttp://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/15:31
dholbachhttps://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-packaging-guide/15:31
SergioMenesesdholbach, and we have videos in others languages as well15:32
raywangif ubuntukylin is for computer beginners, I wonder if it's worth of having a investigation to see what's the barriers,  e.g.   online banking, integration of online e-shopping payment plugins   etc etc15:32
KylinJonasyes, we have discuss the possibility of online banking, in spite of technique it need government certification.15:36
JackYuyes, an investigation is required.15:36
maclinWill the coming release schedule point be kept,such as the  beta1release in 14th March ?15:39
KylinJonasno matter ubuntu release change to rolling or not, ubuntukylin will release its 13.0415:41
slangasekso, there's nothing in the proposed rolling release change that would prevent having a beta release15:41
JackYuok , thank you15:43

jzhengypwong, the sound still works bad16:02
jzhengypwong, we can hear lots of voice from your side16:02
dholbachcan anyone else maybe start the session?16:03
dholbachI'm happy to read out the notes on the pad16:03
jzhengypwong, JackYu, KylinJonas, maybe mute yourself and unmute to speak?16:03
dholbachbut I'm not sure how much help that's going to be :)16:03
JackYusure16:03
ypwongjzheng, yes we're already doing that16:03
GunnarHjThe choice between ibus and fcitx is probably not so important in 13.04. In 13.04 we will use im-config as an IM configuration tool, and the user can select among installed IM frameworks from Language Support.16:07
GunnarHjGoing forward may be more complicated due to the GNOME integration of xkb and IM.16:07
SergioMeneses there is a delay or something16:07
jzhengGunnarHj, I think we are not going with GNOME anymore :)16:08
GunnarHjjzheng: What??16:08
jzhengGunnarHj, Mir and Unity Next16:08
GunnarHjjzheng: Ok...16:08
jzhengGunnarHj, :)16:08
KylinJonasin the future ubuntu will use mir as display server, but user must wait until 14.04 at least16:10
GunnarHjlanguage-selector contains an IM framework selector. As long as fcitx is installed, that option will appear and can be selected.16:12
dholbachdo we have a good contact to the upstream developers of fcitx?16:14
freeflyi1gdholbach: yes, and also well maintained in Debian/Ubuntu16:15
dholbachit's just a general question - something we generally consider when making a package default16:15
dholbachperfect16:15
dholbachhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fcitx also looks like there's really few bugs16:15
dholbachnot sure if that says much, just thought I'd point it out16:15
GunnarHjWe should be aware of that ibus has been shipped for many cycles by default - fcitx has not.16:16
freeflyi1gdholbach: noted16:16
freeflyi1gGunnarHj: good point16:16
JackYuyes, as we described at the blueprint, Kubuntu team is also doing the evaluation on ibus vs. fcitx16:18
dholbachany more questions? concerns? ideas?16:18
dholbachis this something which should be generally considered for Ubuntu? have their been requests to replace the default in Ubuntu?16:18
JackYubut no conclusion could be found.16:18
paulliuhow about Japanese/Korean?16:19
JackYudholbach: yes, when we apply the flavor, some TB members ask the same question.16:19
GunnarHjHow about shipping both ibus and fxitx? (One can be the default, of course.)16:20
freeflyi1ghttp://paste.ubuntu.com/5590776/16:20
JackYupaulliu: UbuntuKylin mainly consider16:20
JackYuChinese input16:20
freeflyi1gpaulliu: through m17n, a lot of language can be supported, and also IME like anthy has been ported to fcitx also16:21
paulliuJackYu: Yeah.. I cound understand. But the question is why Kubuntu team is consindering fcitx replacing ibus?16:21
JackYuyes. I am also wondering...16:21
paulliufreeflyi1g: no anthy..16:21
GunnarHjAs far as I know, im-config is capable of handling it without conflicts.16:21
JackYu https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-r-kubuntu-development16:22
maclinmaybe fcitx provide good support for KDE16:22
JackYuGunnarHj: that's great16:23
freeflyi1gpaulliu: https://code.google.com/p/fcitx/ FYI, a lot of ime has been ported16:23
maclinit also provide some KDE configuration interface16:23
Riddellwe're going with ibus for raring16:23
Riddellin Kubuntu ⇈16:23
paulliuJackYu: ok.. I heard.16:23
Riddellbut we did look at fcitx for the reasons mentioned16:23
JackYuRiddell: so you decision is ibus?16:24
RiddellJackYu: yes, a chap called Quintasan investiagted and decided on that16:25
Riddellit's what the rest of ubuntu uses16:25
Riddelland works with Korean and Japaese16:25
Riddelland since he got ibus working fine with KDE Plasma no reason to change16:25
freeflyi1gtheming support is also another advantage over ibus16:25
freeflyi1gRiddell: even with native kcm-comfig tool support? :D16:26
Riddell[00:10] <Quintasan> Generally ibus has poor integration16:26
Riddell[00:11] <Quintasan> Fcitx has better KDE integration but the version Debian has is not feature complete yet16:26
dholbachRiddell, do we know which feature is missing or if there's a bug open about it?16:27
freeflyi1gRiddell: this is not true  kde-config-fcitx - KDE configuration module for Fcitx16:27
Riddellfreeflyi1g: which is not true?16:27
freeflyi1g00:26 < Riddell> [00:11] <Quintasan> Fcitx has better KDE integration but the version Debian has is not feature complete ye16:27
Riddelloh debian not feature complete yet16:27
GunnarHjThe standard Ubuntu distro will also go for ibus in 13.04, AFAIK.16:27
Riddellfreeflyi1g: I don't think there is any ibus config in KDE16:27
Riddellso fcitx wins there16:28
Riddellbut as long as installing the language pack sets it up then you're good16:28
JackYuRiddell: did you investigate the newest version of fctix?16:28
freeflyi1gRiddell: defintely, and ibus still has a lot of python code, performance lose there too16:28
maclinfcitx has updated to latest version now in 13.04 sources16:28
RiddellJackYu: I don't know what version he looked at, was about a month ago16:29
freeflyi1gRiddell: its very worth to give it a try in kubuntu too16:29
Riddellfreeflyi1g: what about the poor Koreans and Japanese?16:30
JackYuRiddell: got it. so maybe we could discuss further with Quintasan.16:30
RiddellJackYu: he's around lots in #kubuntu-devel (just not today alas)16:31
dholbachwould it make sense to switch to fcitx in ubuntu kylin for now and then see what the feedback is like when you ask for people to test it some time before the release?16:31
dholbachand make the kubuntu discussion a separate thing?16:31
GunnarHjI'm not an IM user, but I can't help thinking that shipping both and make them easily available to the Chinese users ought to be a good idea.16:31
ypwongdholbach, +116:31
RiddellGunnarHj: that's not very ubuntu16:32
JackYuRiddell: thanks. Would you please give his email address via private channel?16:32
freeflyi1gRiddell: upstream has them in place16:32
GunnarHjRiddell: Let's make it ubuntu, then. ;-)16:32
jzhengjust for your reference, fcitx has anthy which is for Japanese, see https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx-anthy16:33
maclindholbach, we have tested fcitx 4.2.6 and it worked well for users16:33
ypwongRiddell, then probably to ship fcitx and if user wants they can always install with apt-get16:33
freeflyi1gRiddell: btw, not trying to convince you to adopt it, just wanna let it you know the status16:33
KylinJonasI think that shipping both is the best solution to this topic.16:33
dholbachare there any open questions? is fcitx the default in ubuntu kylin already?16:33
ypwongdholbach, guess this is the decision? KylinJonas, JackYu?16:34
freeflyi1gfcitx-anthy-0.1.1.tar.xz fcitx-chewing-0.1.3.tar.xz16:34
KylinJonasubuntukylin want to take fcitx as default16:34
GunnarHjKylinJonas: Make fcitx default is compatible with shipping both.16:35
KylinJonasyes, let user decide which to use, i think16:36
Riddelllet user decide is very un-ubuntu16:36
maclindholbach: yes, we are also make more test to evaluate the effect of fcitx16:36
paulliuQt Immodule supports so anything using Qt would have less problems..16:36
JackYuRiddell: ....16:37
paulliuFor phones, the problem is the onscreen keyboard have to talk to either input-method framework. Or you only get English onscreen keyboard.16:37
paulliuI have no detailed actually.16:38
ypwongpaulliu, so any work about that you're aware of now?16:38
freeflyi1gpaulliu: fcitx has a virt keyboard16:38
ypwongok :)16:38

matzipan_but it's not UDS anymore, it's just a meeting19:05
matzipan_so it should be UDM19:05
zebaszpI came to this room with one specific purpose: asking if jono will play the guitar19:05
matzipan_and keep UDS as a real summit at LTS maybe?19:06
jonoget your questions in :-)19:06

jcastrobobthebobber: that was your session right? the quality growth one? Can you check the perms on your video?19:09
popeybobthebobber: sometimes the videos had to be restarted19:09
ptlQUESTION: in the phoronix response to canonical, they said the two supposed downsides of wayland (input handling/routing and "priviledged" shell) are simply untrue. Will Canonical have further debates with them? If other distros adopt wayland, how do you think you can maintain compatibility with differing Linux desktop strategies?19:09
jcastrobobthebobber: sorry I meant balloons not you19:10

nxvlQUESTION: are you going to shave that beard soon?19:12
zorman2000QUESTION: I would like to know your personal opinion of Canonical writing a new DS rather than adopting Wayland. I have seen lots of opinions about this, and would like to know your own, as the community manager of Ubuntu.19:13
AlanBellQUESTION: how do big transitions happen in rolling releases?19:13
jcastro(stand by on the Mir questions guys, the Mir guy is on his way!)19:13
dpm-desktop_yes, he's gone19:13

Lennart__why does he leave, when it gets interesting? *grml*19:14
AlanBellQUESTION: When are wobbly windows going to be available in Mir?19:14
d0od|UDSAlanBell: EXCELLENT QUESTION SIR19:15
d0od|UDS:P19:15
zorman2000AlanBell, funny, but valid question19:15
jcastroAlanBell: don't worry, all the unmaintained compiz plugins will likely still continue to be unmaintained. :)19:15
niemeyerAlanBell: Wobbly Windows needs a VM to run in Ubuntu19:15
AlanBellyeah, I kind of want to know about the bling plan for mir19:16
fisch246rickspencer3: o/ welcome back19:16
rickspencer3_thanks fisch24619:16
rickspencer3_I guess my internet provider didn't want to hear what I had to say ;)19:16
AlanBellQUESTION: will I be able to run Virtualbox full screen in Mir? Will the input handling stop the HUD stealing my alt key?19:16
zorman2000AlanBell: I guess, from what I have read, that their bling plans are not on Mir, but on Unity. Mir is just a huge foundation for Unity to do whatever they want it to do.19:17
UbuPhillupDeutschland ;)19:17

ptltvoss: thank you very much for the comprehensive answer!19:18
d0od|UDSQUESTION: There seems to be a growing unease with the 'inner' Ubuntu Community about recent changes and decisions (membership reneges, vocal criticisms on planet, etc). What is your response as community manager to the claim that 'the ubuntu community' has irreparably changed?19:19
dylan-mQUESTION: Are Unity and Ubuntu Touch ready for _large_ contributions from community members who don't work for Canonical? For example, I am wondering about the feasibility of a (~three month) gsoc project with Unity or its friends.19:20
niemeyerI knew it..19:20
niemeyerrickspencer3: ;)19:20

jcastrogaara: oooh.19:23
jcastrogaara: you might want to find rsalveti on #ubuntu-touch19:24
gaarathanks jcastro19:24
krabadorQuestion: many web sources, immediately after the ubuntu-touch release of the images, reported that "canonical works with xda community" only because some simply xda user released some port of ubuntu-touch following the porting guide on the wiki. There are some plan of real collaborations between communities for ubuntu-touch ?19:24
fisch246rickspencer3: can you get back to my question? the one you were about to answer, but was dropped beforehand.19:25
jcastrokrabador: heya were you here yesterday when we had one of the XDA developers in a plenary?19:25

fisch246rickspencer3: "How will the rolling releases mean to the production of Mir?"19:26

Jim99Jono, are apps such as Twitter and FaceCrook removable from Ubuntu touch?19:37
ptljono: thanks!19:41
niemeyerKnowing what was going behind the scene, I have to say I can't see much to sweat about regarding mir. It's a tricky project, and some people were trying to figure things out.. the decision to take it more seriously was made *now*, and that's why an announcement was made and why the plan is being opened up.19:42
niemeyerIt's not like there's a finished project that is going in Ubuntu tomorrow.19:43
UbuPhillupokey thnkx19:44
d0odQUESTION: Would it be fair to say you're moving to a model where Canonical (and not the community) make the platform, and the community makes the applications which use the platform?19:44
phiphi_QUESTION: When will the official websites be available in other languages?19:46
jcastrono ubuntu-server questions? boooo!!!19:46
fisch246anyone know how to manually remove a package?19:46
fisch246installed spotweb, but it got corrupted on install... now any sort of uninstall procedure is broken.19:47
UbuPhillupphiphi_: very good question i would know it too19:47
zebaszpQUESTION: how's the baby? :D19:47
AlanBellphiphi_: press releases were available in Spanish and Mandarin19:48
AlanBellphiphi_: I suspect that is of significance19:48
popeyQUESTION: Jono, do you miss not getting CDs as presents at this UDS? Still Whamming?19:48
phiphi_AlanBell: I think of the main landing page, the downloads and info pages linking to help pages (by LoCos like ubuntuusers.de)19:49
davidafQUESTION: We know Canonical tries hard to balance company interests with *Ubuntu* community interests. That said some members of Ubuntu community are interested in the health of the wider *Linux* community. Is canonical interested in the health of the wider Linux community or is enought for Canonical to have strong Ubuntu community?19:49
UbuPhillupthe german ubuntuusers are very great like it19:50
niemeyerd0od: That's not the case.. the platform is very much done by the community.. there is a huge number of projects that are at the heart of Ubuntu that are not made by Canonical. Some of those pieces that Canonical has to invest in directly are the things that are on the path for the world domination of Ubuntu that are simply unavailable, and that need a significant volume of immediate work.19:50
cjohnstonI'm here!19:50
niemeyercjohnston: Welcome :)19:50

redtape-renegadeQUESTION: Where is the crowdfund address for Sophie's Pony ?? HELP POPEY NOW !!19:52
phiphi_QUESTION: How much big news and disruptions are still in the sleeve? Will it be quieter the rest of the year?19:52
jjed_second phiphi's question19:53
zebaszpoh dear...really? that's AWESOME!19:53
matzipan_QUESTION: is there any support for organizing a hackathon?19:53

zebaszpkrabador, his beard is awesome19:54
AlanBellkrabador: that question was answered earlier, "no"19:54
ptlGPU is a very delicate aspect in the ARM world19:54
zebaszpdon't diss the beard19:55
krabadorzebaszp, AlanBell :)19:55
ptlbut I think it's easier to have them open-source their drivers than NVIDIA19:55
popeyhah19:55
zebaszpQUESTION: is Mir getting (more) support than Wayland from Nvidia? (also, how did you not understand that?)19:56
cjohnstonQUESTION: jono why didn't you cook us all bbq?19:56
d0odconversely, i'm looking forward to a break! :P19:56
hegemon8So what You saying Jono, You trying to fill the gap between free creating software, as it is now in linux with directed developing to achive goals ubuntu puts as first for platform to finish?19:56
cjohnstonWe have given Joey a more than full time job over the last 1.5 weeks jono, he might want a break19:56
ptlQUESTION: everybody says nvidia, but in ARM the MALI drivers are very important. Are you talking with them for open-sourcing the remaining part of their drivers? (kernel is open-source, x11 driver is closed)19:56

beardofomensQUESTION: do you think that ppl should write apps solely for Ubuntu to take advantage of ubuntu-specific features?19:58
