smartboyhwDamn build failure of our first saucy image. 01:15
smartboyhwWhat the hell? Saucy's daily image is even smaller than Raring…02:05

smartboyhw_zequence: Ping10:45
zequencesmartboyhw_: pong10:58
smartboyhw_zequence: So, as per jussi's suggestion, should we send out an e-mail to former Ubuntu Studio members for some history of Ubuntu Studio?10:59
zequencesmartboyhw_: If you are willing to work on this, you should feel free to do so, yes11:00
zequencesmartboyhw_: If you want some feedback or help, just let me know11:01
smartboyhw_zequence: Em I thought you would:P Should we draft up some EOL announcement for Ubuntu Studio 10.04 & 11.10?11:01
zequencesmartboyhw_: I have plenty of things to do already11:02
smartboyhw_zequence: And I have a full load of tests and exam coming up:P11:03
smartboyhw_Next week 6 tests s***11:03
zequenceSeems like no one has the time then11:03
zequenceIf you find this item imporant, I would document it for later11:03
smartboyhw_zequence: OK. Maybe I can do the EOL thing11:04
zequencesmartboyhw_: Please do. It sort of falls within your responsibilities as release manager11:04
zequencesmartboyhw_: If you don't have time, do tell. School is more important11:05
smartboyhw_zequence: Yep. Speaking about history, sounds like there's a gap. In the TeamStructure wiki, After the final edit in 2008 there was an edit in May 2010, then it was your edit as ailo.at in May 2012 :O11:06
smartboyhw_May 2010 -> Sep 201011:09
zequenceThe wiki has seen very little organizational effort probably since 200811:11
zequenceI've done work on it in periods, during 2012 and 201311:12
smartboyhw_zequence: I rather want to see if madeinkobaia and/or DarkEra want to do the history part:P11:12
zequencesmartboyhw_: You could add a workitem for it somehwere in the blueprints11:13
zequenceSeems to fall in under documentation11:13
smartboyhw_zequence: Shall do. Heh, sounds like the Studio team was quite messy in Oneiric cycle (looking at their release notes)11:15
zequencehttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio/+spec/topic-ubuntustudio-documentation11:16
zequenceI accidentally duplicated all my mail 4 times11:17
zequenceTook my filtering the whole night to finish11:17
smartboyhw_zequence: lol. In the blueprint, why do we have "Release Team Meeting Minutes" in the whiteboard?11:18
zequenceNow it works, at least. And mutt has a nice ability do delete duplicates --- IMAP Hell11:18
smartboyhw_minutes -> info11:18
smartboyhw_I don't think the "Release Team" needs meetings zequence, you mean the whole team?11:21
zequencesmartboyhw_: Not written by me, most probably11:22
zequenceDon't worry about it. It's old, and needs to be reorganized11:23
zequence..when I get there11:23
smartboyhw_zequence: Oh…11:23
smartboyhwzequence: Check your mailbox. Hello DarkEra:)11:56
DarkEraheya guys11:56
zequencesmartboyhw: One of my favorite virtues is being short and concise. I would prefer a EOL notice that simply stated the pure facts12:03
zequenceA B have reached EOL. This means that these releases will not be receiving updates or support after <date>12:04
zequencesomething like that12:04
zequenceDarkEra: Hi12:05
DarkErazequence, how about replacing the menu icon logo with the new blue white logo for saucy12:06
zequenceDarkEra: madeinkobaia is our art lead, and the plan is that we work out something nice for 14.0412:09
zequenceHe will lead the work towards that12:09
zequenceThis might mean all artwork will be updated12:09
zequenceAnything from logos to desktop themes12:10
DarkErathat's awesome news, thanks for letting know12:10
zequence13.10 could include updated art as well, if there is any, and we feel it would be ok to do that, but the big goal is 14.0412:12
zequenceActually, I'm putting all my effort on 14.04, and seeing 13.10 more as a chance to try things out12:12
zequenceConsidering the discussions before 13.04 release, on the prospect of rolling release, I'm not fully confident there will be a 13.1012:13
DarkEra13.10 will be released, i don't think that Mark will switch to a rolling release at all12:16
DarkEraafaik he wiped the idea off the table12:16
DarkErai'm looking forward to what we can try out with 13.10. 12:20
zequenceIt's not really up to him though12:21
zequenceBut, considering there was already a change in reducing support, it might not be such a hot topic fro 13.1012:22
zequenceWhile, what happens after 14.04 is again not certain12:22
DarkErahmmm... true12:22
zequenceI seem to have a german keyboard layout for mutt12:24
zequencey and x have traded places12:24
smartboyhwzequence: OK12:30
smartboyhwzequence: So what paragraphs you wanna delete?12:31
smartboyhwzequence: Ubuntu did say they will not put in many features into 14.04 LTS12:32
smartboyhwzequence: Should we ask DarkEra to try to work on the history?12:32
DarkEraLTS were always a collection of new features of the previous releases that got more polished12:34
zequenceYou guys are probably talking about Unity as far as LTS goes12:34
zequenceNot the same as Ubuntu12:35
smartboyhwDarkEra: What I thought is that we need to have a usable prototype version of new apps in 13.1012:35
smartboyhwzequence: ^12:35
zequenceWe don't need more planning efforts right now12:35
zequenceWe need more people working on development12:36
zequenceThere's plenty of things to do already12:36
zequenceWhen I get there, I'll work some more on the blueprints12:36
zequenceRight now, I'm learning mutt12:36
DarkEramutt?12:37
smartboyhwzequence: You think I should try to reference https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2012-October/000165.html? And what is mutt?12:37
zequencemutt is an email client12:37
zequencecli program12:37
smartboyhwzequence: Oh12:37
DarkErai see, it sounded familiar12:37
* smartboyhw likes GUIs for e-mails12:37
zequenceGUIS work fine, if you have the application on your client machine, unlike me12:38
zequenceBesides, you can't script google mail12:38
zequencemutt + imapfilter is what I'm trying to get together right now. I'm planning a sort of developer setup, which makes keeping track of hundreds of mail lists easier12:39
zequencesmartboyhw: If you want my advice, make it as short as you possibly can. I hate reading text for no reason12:40
zequencesmartboyhw: If you want my advice, make it as short as you possibly can. I hate reading text for no reason12:40
smartboyhw_zequence: Try to view the doc again, I have shorted it.12:42
smartboyhw_*shortened12:43
zequencesmartboyhw_: Looks fine. I would make it shorter still, but now I find all the text informative and having a specific purpose12:43
zequence..which is the important things12:44
zequenceIMO12:44
smartboyhw_zequence: \o/12:46
smartboyhw_zequence: Plz suggest a subject for that announcement (short enough):P12:50
DarkErazequence, anything i can get into this evening as preparation on the development involvement?12:50
DarkErasmartboyhw_, EOL announcement?12:52
smartboyhw_DarkEra: Yep for 10.04 LTS and 11.1012:53
smartboyhw_9th May12:53
DarkEraUbuntu Studio 10.04 LTS and 11.10 reach EOL 12:54
DarkEradone :)12:54
smartboyhw_DarkEra: zequence may want shorter (dunno)12:57
DarkErasmartboyhw_, 10.04 and 11.10 EOL12:58
DarkEra:P12:58
zequenceDarkEra: What's you status on OS installs? Do you have a permanent install space for the development release?12:58
zequenceDarkEra: At this time, you should be able to upgrade to 13.10, by doing: sudo do-release-upgrade -d12:59
DarkErazequence, i have 3 partitions on my laptop, one of them i use for testing as i did the last time. :)12:59
zequenceDarkEra: Well, testing is different. For testing you want to use a clean install of the latest Ubuntu Studio13:00
zequenceDarkEra: For development, you just want the development release, no matter which desktop system13:00
zequenceSo, you'll need one partition for each13:00
DarkErazequence, no problem, i can easily set up a 4th partition13:02
zequenceThe reason why you want a separate dev platform is that you can have your stuff on there for longer periods13:02
smartboyhw_zequence: Srsly, does DarkEra's suggestion work?13:02
zequencesmartboyhw_: Sure. A titel is just one line. And the one DarkEra suggests says the facts very plainly, no chance for confusion13:03
smartboyhw_zequence: First long one or the second short one?13:03
zequencesmartboyhw_: This looked good to me "Ubuntu Studio 10.04 LTS and 11.10 reach EOL"13:04
smartboyhw_OK13:04
zequencesmartboyhw_: Just think like this. If you are the reader, will you understand what the text is saying? And, when it comes to the body message, is it informing me of what I would like to know?13:04
DarkErazequence, we'll chat later on again. I need to get to the postoffice before they close and do some shopping13:05
smartboyhw_zequence: Yep13:05
zequenceDarkEra: Later then13:05
smartboyhw_I just want confirmation:P13:05
DarkEralaters guys :)13:05

madeinkobaiaHi all, I added a "box banner" for the 13.04 release out, you can see it here : http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-art/ubuntustudio-resources/art/view/head:/ON-AIR/ubuntu-studio_box-banner_1304_01_by_madeinkobaia.png15:51
smartboyhwmadeinkobaia: awesome!15:58
madeinkobaiasmartboyhw : Thanks :) Looks like a core processor no ?15:59
smartboyhwmadeinkobaia: It does:)16:00
DarkEramadeinkobaia, wow, that one looks awesome16:00
madeinkobaiadarkera : Thanks mate.16:01
DarkEra:)16:01
madeinkobaia:)16:01
smartboyhw:)16:01
DarkErai changed the menu logo on my machine by the way, using the logo from G+16:02
madeinkobaiadarkera : Cool : ) 16:03
madeinkobaiabe back later : )16:03
DarkEraok :)16:03
DarkEramadeinkobaia, dunno if you guys can see it this way if not i'll upload it elsewhere: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-G2nrFq6fZiY/UYOotzZkkrI/AAAAAAAAAtI/RX37QDxXeAU/w245-h340/newubuntulogoinclude.png16:05
smartboyhwDarkEra: I like the original one more than yours16:06
smartboyhwFeels more simplr16:06
smartboyhwbbl, sleep16:07
DarkErait's all a matter of personal taste of course. But i was thinking to follow the other buntu derivates and their logo's. Trying it just for fun16:08
zequenceDarkEra: There hasn't been much focus on artwork for the last cycles, and historically, I don't think there ever was a perfect unitification in the artwork either. I think using that icon would have made sense for 13.04, but as for the future, I think that depends on what we have in a few months time, as far as new artwork is concerned16:16
zequenceI would like a unified thematic experience for anything Ubuntu Studio, desktop theme, website, social channels, banners, etc..16:17
holsteinis dick still the art lead?16:17
zequenceholstein: No, madeinkobaia is16:17
DarkErai'm totally in for that so i agree zequence 16:17
zequenceI haven't heard from dick in a long time. Don't think he's been involved at all since before the release of 12.0416:18
DarkErazequence, just to make sure... since i'm assigned to the ubuntu studio desktop gnome, is it necessary to develop that package on ubuntu gnome?16:18
DarkErahi holstein 16:18
holsteinDarkEra: o/16:18
zequenceDarkEra: We'll base the list of dependencies on ubuntu-gnome-desktop16:19
zequenceDarkEra: We only need to work with two sources, seeds and the meta package16:20
zequenceDarkEra: But, before we do, you need to get a development installation first, and set up ssh and gpg keys16:20
zequenceDarkEra: Let me know when you have a dev install ready, and we'll go from there16:20
DarkErai'm a total newbie in this and very excited too to see where and how far i can get :)16:21
DarkErazequence, then i'll go on and install ubuntu studio and upgrade uit to saucy16:21
zequenceholstein: You can check out madeinkobaia's stuff on our social sites. He made the banners for the G+ and facebook pages16:21
DarkErai will do that this evening for sure16:22
DarkEraone thing i hope for is that i can get a desktop pc this year so i can use the laptop for development and testing16:24
holsteindual boot...16:25
DarkEratriple boot already :16:25
DarkEra:)16:25
zequenceI have octo, I think16:26
holsteinsometimes, i just install to an external drive... a big USB stick, or a hard drive.. whatever16:26
madeinkobaiazequence said "I would like a unified thematic experience for anything Ubuntu Studio, desktop theme, website, social channels, banners, etc.." I am completely agree, its a huge work but its an essential thing to work on graphics, GU,etc with a global vision. IMO16:50
madeinkobaia"GUI" 16:51
madeinkobaianot GU ;)16:51
DarkErai understood what you meant :)16:51
madeinkobaiaholstein : Hello : )16:52
DarkEraswitching to the netbook and start working on the partitions on the laptop, brb16:59
=== JTa_aFK is now known as JTa
DarkEra2zequence, had a bit of a delay. So far i installed 13.04 on a partition and upgraded to the development release saucy22:09
zequenceDarkEra2: Alright. Let me check the next step22:30
DarkEra2ok22:30
zequenceDarkEra2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/SetupDeveloperEnvironment22:31
zequenceDarkEra2: Basically, at this point, you need to create a gpg key and a ssh key22:32
zequenceDarkEra2: The gpg key is your virtual id, which you use to sign stuff. It's your personal signature22:32
zequenceDarkEra2: You will need to sign the launchpad code of conduct with it later22:32
zequenceDarkEra2: Any debian package source you want to upload to a PPA needs to be signed with that gpg key22:33
zequenceDarkEra2: The ssh key is only for accessing source. It's like a key to a lock22:33
zequencessh is a protocl for remote connections22:34
zequenceYou can use it to connect to another machine, if it has a openssh server installed22:34
zequenceIt's encrypted too22:34
DarkEra2ok, i see. I'll read the page and follow the steps :)22:35
DarkEra2if anything i'll ask 22:35
zequencePlease do :)22:35
DarkEra2zequence, what to put at Comment?22:44
zequenceDarkEra2: Anything you want22:46
zequenceDarkEra2: But, you don't need to, I guess22:47
DarkEra2so it also could be my nickname22:47
zequenceIf you like22:47
DarkEra2:)22:48
zequenceDarkEra2: Initially, the gpg key is not going to be too serious of a thing for you. You just need it in order to use launchpad, and make debian packages, but later on, if you get more serious, it is like your real ID. In order for someone to accept your source to Ubuntu repo, they need to have met you in person, and signed your key22:49
zequenceAnd at that point, you don't want to be changing it anymore22:50
DarkEra2ah yes, i read about that two days ago iirc22:50
DarkEra2i'll be back in a bit, our son woke up22:55
DarkEra2ok, back. Just sent the key23:10
zequenceDarkEra2: I updated that page to include instructions for setting up three more things: Debian variables, bazaar and git23:12
zequenceOne can have a lot of good use of ~/.bashrc for setting up variables, and aliases23:13
DarkEra2zequence, ok, gonna read that too23:13
zequenceSo, once you're done, you might want to back up at least your gpg and ssh keys, but also ~/.bashrc if you want to start tweaking it further23:13
zequenceDarkEra2: The gpg key will end up in ~/.gnupg/ and the ssh key pair in ~/.ssh23:14
DarkEra2i guess i still have to wait a bit before i can continue. Could take up a hour or so after sending the ID23:16
zequenceDarkEra2: You can complete all the other stuff. You only need to wait for the gpg to be published in order to get it uploaded to launchpad23:18
DarkEra2ok, cool :)23:18
DarkEra2zequence, sorry but i'm stuck a bit. What to type after Enter file in which to save the key23:27
zequenceDarkEra2: The ssh key?23:31
zequenceDarkEra2: There should be a default option, which means you only need to press Enter23:32
DarkEra2oh, that's all? Ok, thank you :)23:33
zequenceDarkEra2: I updated the page again to include how to finish setting up the LP account with gpg, ssh and signing the code of conduct23:41
zequencehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/SetupDeveloperEnvironment#Finish_Setting_Up_Launchpad23:41
DarkEra2zequence, ok, thanks. By the way.. do you ever sleep? You are a busy guy for sure :D ;)23:42
zequenceDarkEra2: I'm not half as busy as I would like to be23:43
zequenceSometimes one finds ways to be busy without getting anything done23:43
zequenceThe only thing missing now is a good list of packages one should install. Development tools, and so on.23:48
zequenceI'll try to put together some tools for this later on, so one would only need to install a single package to get all but the personal keys and configs23:54
DarkEra2zequence, on Set up git you forgot a " i believe in the example: git config --global user.name "Kaj Ailomaa23:55
zequenceDarkEra2: Yep. Fixed it now23:56
DarkEra2cool23:56
DarkEra2right, so far i'm done i think. Now it's waiting on the key to get published23:58
zequenceDarkEra2: Try refreshing the page. There's some more on it now, probably23:58
zequenceDarkEra2: How to finish up the launchpad account for instance23:59
zequenceThere's a table of contents at the top23:59
