pjotrHello, I've encountered the following bug: In Xubuntu, resizing an application window of LibreOffice may cause display corruption. The solution is to install libreoffice-gtk, which fixes the problem.11:20
pjotrCan someone fix that, so that libreoffice-gtk will be pulled automatically upon installing (components of) LibreOffice in Xubuntu?11:20

len-1304ochosi, elfy, yes UbuntuStudio uses pavucontrol. We also have a wish list in for changes to the PA people :)13:57
len-1304pavucontrol is Studio's "desktop audio control" and aslo sometimes used with Jack. Some broadcast type applications require both.13:59
elfythanks len-1304 - there was a conversation in -offtopic earlier with knome and zequence amongst others 14:00
len-1304For what it does pavucontrol is fine... not something we are likely to changing.14:00
len-1304Ah good. I am at the "late" end of the world.14:01
elfy:) 14:01
len-1304On my way out to work, bye now.14:01
elfyhave fun if you can 14:02

GermarHi,17:14
GermarWhere can I report a bug with dbus that regards only xubuntu but not ubuntu?17:14
GermarIt is about a timeout on dbus during import keyring in a python program running with sudo17:15
GermarI'm not sure if this is caused by the keyring or by dbus config.17:17
GermarAll packages are the same version on ubuntu and xubuntu. I even tried to copy over the dbus config and root's home wihtout luck17:18
Germarto reproduce you can run 'sudo python'17:21
Germarimport dbus17:21
Germarbus = dbus.SessionBus()17:22
Germarbus.get_object('org.freedesktop.secrets', '/org/freedesktop/secrets')17:22

knomemh19:55
ochosiskellat: looks good to me19:56
knomei would be more interested how the desktop installer separates those19:57
ochosiskellat: btw, if you find out the name of e.g. that HP-icon in your systray i can try to add a monochrome version for it to our icon-theme19:59

knome#topic Blog article about "Three Nights of Xubuntu"20:05
knome#info knome, skellat and pleia2 have put up an article about the two Xubuntu sessions to be posted on xubuntu.org20:06
skellatA last look by others prior to posting would be helpful, I presume.20:07
knomeyes20:07
knomei will be pushing it to xubuntu.org today20:07
knome#info knome will move it to xubuntu.org today for reviewing20:07
skellatDo we have a link that can be shared to the current draft?20:07
knomenot at the moment20:07
knomeit's invite only, but i'll move it after the meeting, so it'll be accessible soon20:08
skellatOK20:08
skellatpleia2: Any thoughts as to the article?20:08
pleia2it's good20:09
knomei was wondering if we're pointing out too much that we're "in line" with other flavors20:09
knomeit's brought up twice, and it got my attention20:09
skellatI'm iffy on that.  Yes, I wrote it.  I just felt at the time some strange need to show small-u unity.20:11
knomeanyway, we can think about that when i've moved it to xubuntu.org20:11
knome#topic Xubuntu team members20:11
knomei propose to add skellat to xubuntu-team!20:11
ochosi+120:11
knomeimo other prospective contributors for memberships are lderan, jack fromm (docs guy) if they keep on contributing as they have done so far20:12
lderani do plan on doing so20:12
knomethat's great :)20:12
elfy:)20:12
ochosisounds good to me20:13
knomeotoh,  people who need to step up to keep their memberships are: GridCube, maddernick, Unit19320:13
knomeUnit193 has been showing raised motivation though :)20:14
Unit193I have? :P20:14
ochosi(sounds a bit like the "tip-of-the-hat – wag-of-my-finger segment of stephen colbert, for those that know it)20:14
knome(just speak up more often and don't think it's unnecessary!)20:14
ochosi+120:14
knomei'm thinking this also because...20:14
elfyI'd +1 that as well - but then I'd be saying too much :)20:14
Unit193Yeah, that part...20:14

skellat#topic UDS Day 3 Community Roundtable's Discussion Assessing vUDS Structure20:18
skellat#info skellat was present in capacity as a LoCo leader. (SEE ALSO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dF-5Ba4ApgA)20:18
skellat#info Discussion ensued among those present as to the hours and nature of the meetings.20:18
skellat#info Laura Czajkowski raised the issue of seemingly fewer women attending.20:19
skellat#info Randall Ross asked that weekend hours be considered to better accommodate potential participants.20:19
skellat#info skellat noted that Xubuntu was holding a parallel set of meeting hours to accommodate divergent available hours as well as to include members across Asia and the Pacific.20:19
knome+120:19
skellat#info At this time Jono's group is reviewing how the second virtual UDS has run and we may or may not see further changes by the next anticipated sessions in August 2013.  Time zone shifting was discussed as a possibility to better accommodate Asia/Pacific and Eastern Europe.20:19
skellat#idea It is recommended that we consider our actions during the May 2013 UDS timeframe and assess how we might utilize our current experience in holding further computer-mediated team sessions during the Saucy Salamander cycle.20:19
knomewas there any discussion about a possible real-life uds?20:19
skellatNope20:19
skellatI did raise the point that in-person discussion works better20:20
skellatThat point really didn't go anywhere20:20
knomeit's weird that they give out that recommendation now - as if they had already decided that they'll keep with the virtual meetings20:20
skellatOh, that's my recommendation20:20
knomeoh, ok :)20:20
ochosii'm also wondering whether we should do hangouts more often as a team...20:21
knomethen nvm me.20:21
knomeochosi, +1 now and then20:21
skellatknome: It is okay20:21
Noskcajochosi, +120:21
knomebut preparation should be better then20:21
ochosiyup20:21
elfyochosi: might be good - I'd maybe even get a mic ... 20:21
* ochosi admits he was poorly prepared...20:21
knomeor we should have a clear agenda with people marked running each item20:21
skellatRandall Ross was a big proponent of trying to get people together in groups to participate to leverage further the upper limit on available Google Hangout sessions20:21
Unit193ochosi: So was I.20:21
ochosiknome: +1 on clear agenda with assignees20:21
knomelife got in the way for me too, but of course that's not a good reason to not be prepared20:22
ochosithat could help with preparation20:22
elfy+1 to that from me as well 20:22
knomeit was slightly scary too when people were so quiet on night 1 that lyz needed to tell us to say something20:22
ochosiassignees could 1) quickly sum up the topic (for those who didn't prepare ;)) and then 2) propose their $whatever and then 3) we could commonly discuss20:22
elfyI did try to speak up :p20:22
elfyochosi: +120:22
skellatNeed a Vuvuzela for moments when silence reigns20:23
knomeand tbh... 20UTC is not ideal for me at all20:23
ochosiskellat: +10020:23
knomehaha20:23
elfyknome: too late?20:23
ochosiskellat: haven't heard those evil things in such a long time :]20:23
knomeelfy, yeah, it's 11pm here and i'm worried about speaking too loud20:23
knomealso, if wife has morning shifts the next day.. not good either.20:23
Unit193knome: Do note that text meetings are far better to catch up on when you missed them.20:23
elfyI understand - I'd be the same - little one is in bed directly above me 20:23
skellatPartly timing comes down to compromises.20:24
knomeUnit193, definitely, especially if we are taking notes as poorly as we did this time20:24
elfyto some extent skellat 20:24
ochosiUnit193: yeah, agreed to that20:24
knomedefinitely, but otoh, we should make sure the people that are essential to any given item should be able to join the session20:24
Unit193(I'm thinking this because much earlier wouldn't work nearly as well.)20:25
elfythat's logical 20:25
skellatknome: Jono discussed that a bit and noted how he's up at 1 AM and 6 AM in California for Ubuntu-related meetings20:25
knomei'm saying that if all artwork people are based in europe, we probably should have an artwork-related meeting at a suitable time for the european participants20:25
elfyfor me - and probably only me this time is perfect20:25
Unit193elfy: Nope, great here.20:25
lderanits not too bad for me as well20:25
knomeskellat, being up at 1am or 4am isn't a problem for me really.20:25
elfyknome: +1 - but it needs proper notes for those elsewhere to be able to read20:26
knomeskellat, it's external things that make the times bad for me20:26
skellatknome: Understood20:26
knomeelfy, we did do proper notes... after the meeting20:26
elfyyea - I'm just saying :)20:26
knomethe point is that it might be hard to follow the meetings if taking notes at meeting time was bad20:26
Noskcajfor me, i'm awake 2000UTC-1100UTC20:27
elfyknome: I agree - maybe if we're having a hangout type - someone who's ont so involved in discussion can do note taking20:27
elfys/ont/not20:27
ochosiyeah, or a person without a microphone ;)20:27
lderanI'm available 1900~2300 UTC20:27
knomeelfy, otoh it's hard to do that if you're not too involved either20:27
elfyall you need do is be listening :)20:28
knomesure20:28
elfyochosi: I was that man ... 20:28
* ochosi is definitely totally not looking at elfy when he says that20:28
knomei'm bad at that... ;)20:28
ochosiok, knome doesn't do note-taking, cause he sucks20:28
Unit193elfy: I was almost. :P20:28
ochosi;)20:28
knomei mean, i'm bad at listening to something and being really focused if i can't participate20:28
elfyI can do that knome 20:28
knomei'm good at remembering most things from a 1 hour meeting though if i have any agenda20:29
knomei barely take any notes from meetings with clients either20:29
elfylol20:29
ochosiyeah, i think having a clear agenda and assignees should also ease note-taking though20:29
knomedefinitely20:29
elfyochosi: +120:29
knomethe assignees could even handle the note taking for their own items20:29
lderanochosi, +120:29
elfybut - I'd not want to see hangouts take over from IRC meetings though20:29
knomethat way nobody would need to just sit in the corner and shut down.20:30
ochosioh, and may i add: this is the most verbose irc-meeting in quite a while, and i dare say it's not unrelated to the hangouts...20:30
elfymaybe once every 6 weeks or so 20:30
Noskcajon another topic (i'm not a chair yet), Should we try having LSC in for this release?20:30
knomeochosi, probably, and also because we had our last irc meeting in january or sth.20:30
elfygives me time to not eat for a day or so and but a mic ... so ochosi stops bullying me :D20:30
knomeNoskcaj, let's get to that once we've finished with this item20:30
ochosiNoskcaj: in the lubuntu meetings it is currently discussed to drop it20:30
skellatAny further discussion as to UDS status?20:31
knomeif we have a meeting every two weeks, a hangout every 6 weeks sounds about right20:31
ochosielfy: before you do that PM me your address and i'll mail you one ;)20:31
elfylol20:31
skellat#topic Inclusion of Lubuntu Software Center20:31
elfyhang on skellat 20:32
knomeskellat, heh, okay :)20:32
knomeone more thing20:32

meetingologyACTION: [knome] Set up meeting schedule (IRC and Hangout meetings with vUDS in mind) and send to ML: TODO20:32
knomei'm fine with that item now.20:33
ochosiquestion wrt hangouts20:33
ochosi(sorry)20:33
elfyI'd say we need to get the first one pretty soon20:33
knomeochosi, yeah?20:33
ochosiwhat is our policy on keeping our meetings available on youtube20:33
ochosisome of us might have privacy concerns wrt keeping the meetings online/available "forever"20:33
knomei would say drop them soonish.20:33
Unit193^20:33
knomewe have the notes from those in the ML20:33
elfyI'd say not - we can put notes up in wiki 20:34
ochosiyeah, that's what i was hoping20:34
ochosibut i'm also saying that wrt future hangouts20:34
knomeyes20:34
ochosiwondering whether we should even stream them to youtube...20:34
knomeprobably not20:34
ochosi(or if we do, drop them immediately afterwards)20:34
knomeunless we have participants that can't fo G+20:34
knomeyes, definitely20:34
elfyI don't see a need - if we're in IRC as well - people can ask there 20:34
knomedo we want to set a deadline when we drop the vUDS videos?20:34
skellat#idea Consider retention policy for hangouts on YouTube compared to the retention policy for IRC logs?20:34
Unit193I'd say stream them, and keep them for a week.20:35
knomei'm proposing dropping vUDS videos week after the meeting, other videos as soon as we've done.20:35
knomeerr, we're20:35
elfytill the next meeting? 20:35
lderansounds good20:35
skellatKeep video at least until next meeting20:35
knomeelfy, i'm most probably proposing and meeting every two weeks20:35
knomes/and/a/20:36
elfyso if we had hangout today, IRC in fortnight - drop the youtube on the day we next meet? 20:36
ochosiuntil next meeting would mean keeping the yt-video for 6 weeks?20:36
skellatelfy: +120:36
elfyI guessed a fortnigjt :)20:36
knomei would simply say...20:36
ochosi(with hangouts every 6 weeks)20:36
elfyochosi: no the next meeting - not the next hangout 20:36
knomeone week. period.20:36
elfyI'll sit on the fence on that then :)20:37
ochosiyeah, i'm kinda on knome's side here, if we take notes anyway, what are the videos good for?20:37
knomebut that's of course open for discussion20:37
pleia2whynot keep it forever?20:37
knomei would even say only the vUDS-timed videos need to be up after the sessions20:37
ochosiwhat about re-evaluating that after the next hangouts?20:37
pleia2keeping it forever is easy (default), removing it takes effort and I don't know the value20:37
knomepleia2, privacy concerns, eg. some ugly monkeys don't want their face showing up forever in youtube20:37
pleia2boo20:37
knome(^ i'm referring to myself)20:37
* ochosi feels like an ugly monkey now20:37
elfywhy do you think I've no web cam ... :p20:38
pleia2ochosi: you're lovely :) and not a lego20:38
lderantake them off youtube and host them somewhere else maybe?20:38
knomewe should've had a hangout for this so i could've seen simon's face when i said that!20:38
ochosielfy: ok, in that case i'll also mail you a camera20:38
elfyha ha ha 20:38
knomei don't think the problem is youtube20:38
ochosi:)20:38
knomeit's rather just keeping the videos up20:38
ochosiyeah20:38
Unit193knome: Ugly monkey?  That feels directed...20:38
elfyI don't really see a need if the notes are good enough to keep the video up 20:39
knomei don't want a policy that says "if you don't want to show up in a video, don't join the hangout" either.20:39
skellatUnit193: I thought it was a reference to the new Google Plus layout20:39
pleia2I think we benefit from the internet having too much stuff on it ;) who will ever actually go dig these up ever again who isn't us?20:39
knomepleia2, employers?20:39
ochosipleia2: imagine you say something stupid or look bored and future employers confront you at the job interview "you always looked so bored in the meetings!" imagine that!20:39
knomehaha!20:39
elfyI just thought that keeping till the next meeting was a good compromise20:39
knomeyes!20:39
pleia2if an employer is going to go scan through hours of UDS videos to find something to pick apart, I don't really want to work for them20:39
pleia2that's strange and creepy20:39
elfylol20:39
pleia2(and unlikely)20:39
knomei can't see the added value of meeting videos being up after the meeting as long as we have notes20:39
knomenotes are easier and faster to go through20:40
ochosipleia2: yeah, but the vUDS videos are different from regular meetings imo20:40
lderanindeed they are20:40
skellatpleia2: It may be strange & creepy...but it is the new normal for HR.  That and all those bloody eHarmony-style personality tests that are being required these days.20:40
pleia2saying stupid things on mailing lists is much more likely and searchable20:40
elfyhow about we see how good the notes are - if they are as good as IRC logs - that's enough20:40
lderanthose are a pain skellat 20:40
pleia2ochosi: ours aren't vUDS videos20:40
knomeand hangouts are going to be like "... *silence* .... (lyz:) say something" anyway20:40
pleia2ochosi: ours are on my private youtube, not linked to other vUDS things20:40
pleia2since ours aren't official sessions20:40
knomepleia2, still.20:40
ochosipleia2: hmright.20:41
pleia2well, official for us, not official for UDS20:41
Unit193Lyz: say something!  Unit193: Something.20:41
pleia2:)20:41
knomeyeah, like that20:41
elfyha ha ha 20:41
ochosiwe can always have a vote on that...20:41
knomedo you think that looks good on any of us?20:41
knomei veto.20:41
pleia2heh20:41
elfyI was fine knome :p20:41
ochosiknome: you _veto_ against voting? :p20:41
skellatCompared to how that job interview went on Night 1, the hangout sounds like it would have been a better use of time20:41
lderanoh dear20:41
knomeskellat, that can be said of the part before ochosi joined, unfortunately20:42
knomeit was about the developer involvement20:42
knomeand no developers were around20:42
elfyochosi: I think you're right - we should just vote and be done with it :)20:42
knomenobody had anything to say, it had been beaten up in the blueprints already20:42
ochosielfy: yeah, this is starting to take up too much time...20:42
pleia2I want to link the youtube videos to my blog post about UDS :( must keep forever!20:42
elfyochosi: it's because we're trying to catch up on what didn't get said over the last 2 days :)20:43
* Noskcaj doesn't see why you need them taken down.20:43
knomeNoskcaj, you didn't have a camera.20:43
ochosipleia2: but wouldn't an edited summary or something be nicer? i mean do you really want ppl to think that our meetings are lame and quiet (especially those that hit "close" after two minutes)?20:43
pleia2ochosi: ours really aren't that bad20:43
Noskcajknome, i wasn't allowed a camera, my brother owns the only one in the house and said no20:43
pleia2plenty of uds sessions are like ours20:43

knomewant to vote on that, or discuss?20:52
Unit193I don't think it exactly needed a vote, everyone seemed to be good to do them.20:53
ochosihmpf, i was actually generally in favor of hangouts, but i guess i opened a can of worms with mentioning privacy concerns...20:53
ochosibrb20:53
knomeUnit193, well as ochosi said, didn't need back then but now...20:53
elfypersonally I see the value in a face to face thing - but I can understand if people have privacy concerns 20:53

meetingologyACTION: skellat, as a professionally-trained librarian, to assist pleia2 with archiving Nights of Xubuntu in such manner as pleia2 deems fit after the in-meeting vote20:54
knomeso...20:54
pleia2I don't really want to be a part of this archiving process20:54
skellat#undo20:54
meetingologyRemoving item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Action object at 0x35e9110>20:54
pleia2so you'll have to use someone else's youtube account20:54
elfyperhaps if the 2 weekly ones were not kept and the vUDS ones were - people can just do audio if they don't like the idea of being 'seen' 20:54
knomeme neither, but i wanted to offer a compromise for deleting forever20:55
pleia2(it's bad enough that we're using a proprietary tool for all of this, I don't want to be a part of a process that further closes access to these resources)20:55
knomei think i would be fine with audio-only recording in public foreverish20:55
lderanas would i20:56
skellatMostly for archiving it would involve grabbing said videos, storing them away from YouTube, and making them available as others require.20:56
* Noskcaj is back from mustering sheep20:56
elfyI see no need to be getting into archiving - the notes should be enough20:56
knomeskellat, i think that's just silly for what xubuntu is20:56
skellatI don't like the idea either but it preserve access to it, however minimal, even if I have to burn a DVD and mail it to somebody20:57
elfyoverkill imo20:57
knomepleia2, would you vote against hangouts at all then, or would you be fine with some kind of socializing hangouts that aren't public?20:57
pleia2knome: I'm not going to participate in them unless they're public20:58
knometo help with communication (which was the point of hangouts anyway), but not to specifically discuss xubuntu-related issues20:58
pleia2I'm not trying to be difficult here, it just feels very wrong as an open source project, I don't like it and don't feel it's fair20:58
knomei understand20:58
elfythen we should do as we did before 20:58
elfymeet here and use meetingology 20:59
knomei like the point that ochosi had about making communication more natural20:59
Unit193Sadly, seems so.20:59
knome(not just during the hangouts, but also after)20:59
elfynothing to stop people doing so outside of meeting 21:00
knomebut i would be uncomfortable with "private" social hangouts as well if some of the people were uncomfortable joining them21:00
pleia2there are subtleties and assumptions when having a natural video discussion that don't transfer well into notes, and you won't get full background as to why things are decided by raw notes that don't have details21:00
elfypleia2: that might well be the case - but then that invalidates any meeting that happened before :)21:00
knomepleia2, i understand if you still don't want to, but would the hangouts be fine if nothing was "decided" on them?21:00
knomepleia2, if it was clearly social21:01
elfyI don't see why audio only is an issue 21:01
Unit193A #xubuntu-offtopic hangout rather than #xubuntu-devel.21:01
pleia2knome: so we already have private conversations sometimes about things21:01
pleia2even project things21:01
pleia2I think it's fine for people to do a hangout privately to collect thoughts and discuss things21:01
knomeelfy, i suppose one can argue that part of the communication is lost in the process21:02
pleia2just when it comes to presenting things to the community for a decision, community discussion, etc - we need all rationale and explaining out there in full, forever21:02
elfyknome: less so than IRC 21:02
knomepleia2, i see, but that doesn't build up the community as a whole21:02
knomeelfy, sure, but in the case of IRC meetings everybody "loses" the subleties.21:02
pleia2what doesn't?21:02
knomepleia2, having private one-on-one hangouts21:03
pleia2no, it would be disappointing to me to see things move from here to private hangouts21:03
pleia2I don't want to *encourage* them ;)21:03
knomepleia2, that too.21:03
skellatI do find it odd that we want to quickly nuke video yet the proceedings of this IRC channel are preserved forever over at irclogs.ubuntu.com21:03
pleia2but if people want to knock through some debugging or testing of stuff together on a hangout, whatever21:03
pleia2skellat: right, that's my point21:03
pleia2right now we have a great system of transparency and keep-logs-forever21:04
pleia2moving some meetings to hangouts that get deleted is :(21:04
Unit193skellat: I don't like that either, and that's part of the reason I avoid this channel.  I randomly avoid the support channels as well.21:04
elfyI don't see what's so hard to understand about people not wanting their face out there forever 21:04
knomethen we should simply keep the meetings in IRC21:04
knomei'm personally fine if we decided to keep the UDS sessions up forever, but i can empathize with others on their privacy issuses21:05
elfyis my view as well 21:05
pleia2elfy: I understand, but you have to balance privacy issues with being a part of a global project that values transparency21:06
knomepleia2, we went wrong with that by not discussing these kinds of things before the first hangouts21:06
pleia2knome: indeed21:06
pleia2I've been doing Ubuntu on-air stuff for over a year, didn't even think that anyone would have a problem with it :(21:07
pleia2(or at least they'd do what elfy did and not do voice+video if they were uncomfortable with it)21:07
elfyindeed - my point is that if it's good enough to be audio only for Ubuntu then it should be good enough for us 21:07
knomepleia2, what's your stance on audio-only preserving?21:08
elfy"Where people are uncomfortable joining a hangout, and want to do that in audio only then that is fine" 21:08
skellatNothing says we have to stick with Google Hangouts.  We can always go to Mumble and deposit the audio with Archive.org.  21:08
knomemost definitely21:08
knomeand we can decide not to do non-IRC meetings as well if that's the consensus21:08
elfyI hasten to add that I really don't have mic or camera and if I had then you'd have heard me and seen me 21:09
Noskcajno-one did anything that requires video, but that may change in the future. we might have to decide after each meeting21:09
skellatyofel has a server we could use, we could use Hacker Public Radio's server and have our sessions really made available to a wide audience, and we could set up ourselves too.21:09
pleia2audio only is fine as long as we don't mind not knowing who is talking :)21:09
knomeNoskcaj, no, *before* each meeting.21:09
pleia2elfy: ah, see I assumed it was a privacy thing :)21:09
Unit193knome: It actually is harder to understand your spoken word without seeing you.21:09
elfypleia2: it is - but not so much for me 21:09
pleia2I assumed the same with Unit193 not showing his name/video too, it was surprising to see his face the 2nd day!21:10
knomepleia2, it probably is... but otoh, there wasn't privacy concerns because we didn't communicate it clearly enough how we would proceed with the streaming.21:10
Unit193pleia2: Couldn't the first, kept turning it off the second.21:10
knomepleia2, he was already in in the testing session on night 0 !21:10
pleia2knome: yeah, I just assumed everyone was familiar with ubuntu on air stuff because it's been around for a while now21:10
knomepleia2, tbh i kind of am, but i didn't think of the privacy concerns before today.21:11
knomepleia2, i mean, in the case of the xubuntu sessions.21:11
pleia2and I'm the wrong one to ask about privacy, anyone in the world can easily get my home address21:11
pleia2and know where I am at any given moment21:11
pleia2princessleia.com/where \o/21:12
Noskcajsomeone ping me when we change topic, this is getting repetitive.21:12
knomemine as well, and if you happen to know my real name (not really hard to find out either), you can't be mistaken of the person. i'm the only one of me around.21:12
knome(of my name)21:12
elfy:)21:12
* knome looks where pleia2 is21:12
knome"oh, USA"21:12
skellatI actually have a cousin with a different middle name in Florida who is a knucklehead21:12
knome:]21:12
knomemeh.21:13
skellatBut yeah, my home address is easily found through voter records in Ohio which are just a downloadable CSV file21:13
knomeshould we talk about the 3NoX sessions specifically?21:13
ochosi(nox=night in latin)21:13
knomeochosi, i know! :)21:14
knomewhat are we going to do what we have now21:14
knomethen consider how we want to proceed21:14
knome(we can even schedule one complete meeting for that)21:14
knomes/proceed/proceed with session recordings in the future/21:14
skellatStatus Quo pending further discussion21:14
knomelet's make this easy.21:15
knomeochosi, how long are you comfortable the session being up?21:15
knomeUnit193, how long are you comfortable the session being up?21:15
ochosii was assuming it would go away after the meetings over, and i still don't see the use of keeping it up if we have notes21:16
Unit193knome: As in, how long would I like to keep them up?  I would like them off in two weeks, but I could do with the saucy cycle I suppose.21:16
knomeochosi, that isn't really an answer for my question 21:16
ochosibut whatever, if you wanna keep it up for a certain while, i don't feel like being the grinch21:16
knomei think this is a good start21:16
knomewould it be a viable option to keep sessions up for the whole cycle?21:17
ochosimore felt like the beginning of the end for hangouts21:17
knomepleia2? is that open enough?21:17
knomei mean, people could refer to the sessions as long as we were developing the release we're talking about..21:17
pleia2knome: this time ;)21:17
knome...items need to be taken up again anyway after a release21:17
knomepleia2, and in the future?21:17
pleia2if people are ok with it, maybe next UDS we tell them to turn off their camera if they're not comfy21:18
lderanthat sounds fair21:18
knomein that case i don't think i'm comfortable in having hangouts, tbh21:18
knomebeing in G+ is giving a hardish time for me anyway.21:18
skellat*snort* The feed for Randall Ross failed in one session this morning so all you saw was a generic G+ avatar with him talking21:18
pleia2yeah, real name policy there and all21:18
elfyshall we shelve this for the moment? 21:18
pleia2I don't love G+ for that21:19
pleia2elfy: wise21:19
elfylet people think some more and revisit it 21:19
skellatIf I didn't have to maintain my LoCo's G+ Page, I wouldn't even be using it21:19
knomewell i suppose we have a plan for the 3NoX: keep the sessions up for the saucy cycle, then make them private21:19
knomei will be downloading them to my harddrive for archiving as well, so we can check things if we need to.21:20
pleia2ok21:20
Unit193So, we're technically going against the vote.21:20
elfyappears so 21:20
knomeUnit193, it wasn't technically a wise vote...21:20
knomei mean, how it was set up21:20
skellatHold a quickie vote to ratify what we've done now and overrule the previous?21:21
knomei don't think we have a choice here21:21

ochosi(and wrt LSC, don't forgtet to check whether lubuntu doesn't want to drop it)21:28
Noskcaji think lubuntu are supporting it now, but need more devs. should i fetch phillw?21:29
Unit193https://code.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-software-center-team/light-software-center/trunk21:29
knomefeel free to21:29
elfybrb21:30
Unit193I'd rather have Synaptic rather than LSC.  Now, would LSC be in addition to, or replacing USC?  One of the main features is paid applications, or so I hear.21:31
knomeUnit193, i would imagine replacing. but we need to discuss the state of LSC first21:32
pleia2generally I prefer USC because we know that will be supported and maintained long-term21:32
knomeyes, i think the biggest negative side in getting LSC would be needing to (co)maintain it21:33
pleia2(lubuntu is a small team and LSC does need work)21:33
knomethat's not something we want21:33
pleia2yeah21:33
Noskcaji use neither, but the fact LSC is far more lightweight better follows the project goals21:33
elfyback21:33
knomebut i'm interested in hearing if LSC is becoming something more general maintained by some specific group (and not requiring maintenance from xubuntu's side)21:34
skellatI can't say I really use either USC or LSC.  I still mostly with aptitude and apt-offline.21:34
knomeNoskcaj, goals yes, but not the means21:34
pleia2Noskcaj: I'd say project maturity is more important, and LSC needs work21:34
knomeNoskcaj, or are you willing to spend your time on being the maintainer from xubuntu?21:34
pleia2it's a great effort and it's nice to see a team working on a lightweight alternative that's more friendly than synaptic, I just don't think it's where we need it to be21:35
elfyI'd not be +1 to replacing a thing that I know works fine like synaptic with lsc21:35
knomeisn't there some recent development for synaptic as well? (Unit193?)21:35
Unit193knome: There has been some, yes.  For one thing, it's been ported to GTK3.21:36
Noskcajknome, no, mostly because i'm not capable of it.21:36
knomewe will probably need to discuss this in a more "serious" meeting, but what do you think generall of USC/synaptic and which we should have21:36
pleia2synaptic still launches with an "All" menu that starts with Amateur Radio, Communication, Communication (multiverse)... and it's not so pretty or intuitive :)21:36
knomeNoskcaj, i wouldn't expect many would, even if they were capable, and while i'm not deciding on other peoples' time devoting, i wouldn't say it's the wises place to put developer effort in21:37
pleia2going through this list for a normal user is huge scary21:37
Unit193https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+source/synaptic/+changelog little info here at least.21:37
elfypleia2: but it's not so slow as to make me think it's hung 21:37
pleia2GObject Introspection data <--- that even scares me21:37
knomelol21:37
pleia2elfy: yeah, but if I gave this to my uncle he'd have no idea this is how you're supposed to install software21:38
pleia2it's some hacker tool or something21:38
elfy:)21:38
knomeshould we install synaptic *in addition* to USC?21:38
Noskcajelfy, i doubt we'd replace synaptic with it.21:39
elfyknome: I don't think we need do that - if it's there those who prefer it can soon apt-get it 21:39
knomeNoskcaj, we aren't shipping synaptic21:39
elfyI thought the issue was replacing usc with lsc21:39
knomeyes21:40
knomeor the question21:40
elfyyea 21:40
knomeand my other question was if we wanted to add synaptic21:40
Noskcajeveryone adanced nough to use synaptic knows how to install it from the command line. and other users would not use it at all21:40
elfymy answer to that last one is ^^21:40
knomebut i suppose people are too tired... so thanks!21:40

Noskcajknome, oops21:41
knomeNoskcaj, np.21:41
knomeNoskcaj, i did talk with phillw, and it sounded like they wanted xubuntu to seed LSC to get us comaintain it21:41
elfywas what I thought he was saying too 21:41
knome(he didn't specifically try to hide that, but he didn't explicitly state that eitehr)21:42
Noskcaji was there knome.21:42
knomeNoskcaj, yup. for the logs as well.21:43
knomei was also thinking if i discussed that with him on a PM, but it was documentation21:44

elfygood lord - I talked a lot - less than you but ... 21:54
elfyimagine what I'd belike with a mic - you'd have to mute me :p21:54
Unit193elfy: I did too much, too.21:54
knomelol21:54
knomeUnit193, good good21:54
Unit193knome: I muted you when you walked away from one of the hangouts. :D21:55
knomeUnit193, oh, didn't i do that myself?21:55
knomeoops. :)21:55
elfypoor old matt symes has got wireless issues with the 13.10 bcwml update today in xubuntu 21:58
knome-team members: http://xubuntu.org/?p=1723&preview=true23:19
knomeand editing should be open for everybody as usually. minor edits welcome without asking, for major edits please ask23:20
pleia2do we want to link to http://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/pavucontrol/ ?23:21
knomenot sure it's useful23:21
pleia2yeah maybe not23:22
pleia2read through, looks good23:22
knomeit was an conscious decision to leave it out when i wrote the article23:22
knomes/an/a/23:22
* pleia2 nods23:22
knomes/the article/the original article/ :)23:22
pleia2one other thing, do we want to link the HUD spec in case someone wants to take a peek?23:22
knomehmm... is there one?23:23
pleia2well, that rationale wiki page and stuff23:23
knomehmm. well that's written mostly becuase gridcube couldn't join us23:23
pleia2ah ok23:23
knomemuch like many of the comments on the blueprints23:23
pleia2gotcha23:24
knomewe're not linking to the blueprints23:24
knomemaybe we should23:24
pleia2ah, yeah probably should23:24
pleia2maybe at the bottom along with summaries23:24
Unit193http://paste.openstack.org/show/XnhprZ2fr42yUvNQUQ5x/ it's a start, I'll continue.23:25
knomepleia2, yup23:25
pleia2Unit193: what's wrong with the ubuntu pastebin? :)23:25
Unit193pleia2: Many, many things.23:25
pleia2lol23:25
Unit193Worst I've seen yet.23:25
knomebefore anybody asks, i'm specifically not linking to the videos, but they are linked to in the summaries.23:26
pleia2yeah23:26
knomethe blueprints are linked now23:27
pleia2looks good23:27
knomeand Unit193's paste looks good too23:28
knomeUnit193, will you eventually turn that into a merge request or shall i worry about getting it in via other methods?23:28
phillwknome: obviously I missed the discussion.. was a decision made on using LSC in xubuntu?23:28
Unit193knome: Not enough changed yet.23:29
knomeUnit193, sure, that's why i said "eventually" :)23:29
knomephillw, the problem with LSC for us is that we feel like we would get some unwanted maintaining burden if we took it23:29
knomephillw, also, it still needs work before it lives up to our expectations as a package manager, and that's just another hole where we should stuff our time into23:30
phillwknome: with the major bug fixed, LSC should now be back stable again. Julien is going to upload the patch into saucy and we can then test it.23:30
knomewhat's the maintaining situation of it?23:31
knomeand is it still going to be called "lubuntu soft.c." ?23:31
knomefrom my point of view, it might gather a lot more momentum if it wasn't tied so closely to lubuntu with its name23:32
phillwknome: Jorg is keen to support it. If xubuntu wish to use it, I can ask Julien to change the branding to "Light Software Center" or something like that.23:32
knomeas i said, we don't think it's still ready enough for the single package manager in xubuntu (and we don't want two!)23:33
knomebut i would think it would do good for the project to try to unlink it from lubuntu23:33
phillwokies, no worries :)23:33
knomeeven if it was just the name23:33
knomebut since we're not contributing to it... feel free to call it whatever suits you23:33
knomeyou can even call it the "whatever suits you the package manager"23:34
phillwI do agree that re-naming it does make sense, as it runs perfectly fine under xubuntu23:34
knomeand probably debian?23:34
knomedoes anybody want to look at the article before i go and publish it?23:35
knomei'll do in 10 if nobody says a thing about that before.23:35
phillwi would imagine that as it a gui for synaptic, it will work on all apt-get systems.23:35
knomegui for apt you mean23:35
phillwindeed :D23:36
knome:)23:36
knomebrb23:36
knomephillw, i don't know what their take is on this, or if i've already said this, but you might want to briefly ask the ubuntu studio people about their plans for package managers in the future23:37
knomei don't even know what they are shipping at the moment23:38
Unit193knome: SC, synaptic.23:40
knomesc as in usc?23:41
phillwknome: I've just e-mailed Julien to ask if renaming it to "Light Software Centre" would be a problem. 23:42
knomeawesome23:42
knomeshould i worry about starting to sound like jono?23:43
phillwjajaja :D23:43
phillwafaik, studio use what ever xubuntu does?23:44
knomenot necessarily23:44
phillwbrb nicotine enhancement needed23:45
knomethey did base off much of their work on xubuntu when they switched to xfce but since then they've started to diverge23:45
zequencewe've more fallen behind, I would say23:46
Unit193knome: Yes.23:46
zequenceThat's something we need to work out for this cycle23:46
zequenceWe're experimenting with adding more desktop metas to the mix23:46
knomediverging, falling behind... aren't they synonyms? :]23:47
zequenceWell, our plan was to follow Xubuntu, and it is happening to some extent23:47
zequenceBut, the method, or procedure for maintaining the desktop stuff isn't really worked out. Only len-1304 is doing much work on that right now23:48
knomepleia2, since twitter asked if "my" email is still x@pl, i'm wondering if we wanted to set up a "xubuntu" email account in some canonical hosted (possible?) system to be able to access all the social media stuff even if pretty much everybody vanished off the eart23:48
knome+h23:48
knomezequence, aha. sorry to hear that :(23:48
knomehttp://xubuntu.org/news/looking-towards-xubuntu-13-10/23:48
Unit193knome: And did you prefer tiny merges, or groups?23:49
knomeUnit193, group is fine23:49
knomeUnit193, as long as you list anything you've done in the commit messages (or the changelog preferably)23:50
phillwback23:50
Unit193Hrm, changelog, riiight.23:50
pleia2knome: canonical doesn't do hosted email, only forwards23:50
knomeUnit193, don't feel at all obliged to do that. commit messages are perfectly fine23:50
knomepleia2, in that case, *something*23:51
pleia2knome: we can just create a shared gmail account23:51
pleia2or an outlook.com account!23:51
knomei have problems with shared accounts on google23:51
knomebut i'm fine with that23:51
knomei mean, it's clumsy23:51
Unit193knome: And You prefer "friendly" names?  I saw file-roller, so I should change to Archive Manager?23:51
knomeand you can't really set up a "group" account, and i23:52
phillwif you have xubuntu.org, I can ask for an educational account for you23:52
pleia2shared as in we all have the password to a single account ;)23:52
knome...hate that they try to enforce the "first last" policy there as well23:52
knomepleia2, i know, but that's the clumsy part23:52
pleia2phillw: we're not a registered non-profit and I really don't want to violate the google terms23:52
knomedid i whine about google's age policy already?23:52
pleia2yes :)23:52
pleia2(probably)23:53
knomeyeah, that's the OTHER problem23:53
phillwpleia2: I'm not a registered non-profit either and phillw.net has one :)23:53
pleia2phillw: I assume you got that when they were free?23:53
knome(try to set a birthday to 2013, google locks your account)23:53
pleia2I have one too, but they aren't free anymore23:53
Unit193knome: Set it to 1903.23:53
knomeUnit193, we created a new one and set it to 1986 (the year the organization was foundeD)23:54
pleia2there isn't a way to get a free one anymore unless you're a non-profit or otherwise entitled (educational institute, etc) and we're not23:54
phillwpleia2: I know a man who can still issue them, mine is based of his USA system.. There has been a lot of strife going on, but he is still able to issue them.23:54
knomethe funny thing was that they had run google analytics with the account for years23:54
knomei don't think i want to use any backport either23:54
knomewe can just use any other email provider as well23:55
knomewho doesn't enforce us to do silly things23:55
* pleia2 nods23:55
phillwbut, as always, it is just a suggestion for you people.23:55
pleia2phillw: thanks23:55
pleia2we'll figure something out :)23:55
pleia2I don't think we want to overhead of a whole system anyway, we just want one account23:55
knomedefinitely23:55
phillwdoes not your DNS provider offer a basic email system?23:57
knomethe point was to not rely on any person23:57
pleia2canonical owns xubuntu.org23:57
phillwpleia2: maybe raise an RT? The worst they can say is NO :)23:58
pleia2phillw: they only do forwards, and forwards don't solve our problem ;)23:58
knomei'm pretty sure they won't set up emails if they aren't doing it already23:58
knomepleia2, i imagine a forward could be a partial solution... if a person disappears, just ask IS to point to another email address and you'd be able to recover23:59
knome...passwords for sites23:59
pleia2but no history23:59
