slangasekoh, gdb, great :)16:05
xnoxi assume stokachu is still out16:05
slangasekyes16:06
xnox* uploaded initial cmake cross-compilation support (positive response16:06
xnox  and constructive further plans discussions from that)16:06
xnox* fixed-up some of the cross-compilations issues in packages using16:06
xnox  cmake (e.g. executing compiled binaries, when cross-compiling)16:06
xnox* fixed-up broken toolchain-base packages for arm* (due to eglibc 2.1716:06
xnox  -> 2.18 bump) p*pc* are still to do16:06
xnox* uploaded changes to android & autopilot to resolve executing16:06
xnox  autopilot tests under the emulator. At request from evan, tested16:06
slangasek(and he hasn't designated a surrogate, so)16:06
xnox  that a single host can execute multiple emulators, still need to16:06
xnox  check if it can also be done in a VM, without proper graphics card.16:06
xnox* still to do in the emulator - unlock higher RAM memory, currently16:06
xnox  capped at 760MB due to memory map issues (kernel panics, segfaults16:06
xnox  with higher values.)16:06
xnox* Running autopilot tests documented in this part of the wiki16:06
xnox  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Emulator#Using_the_emulator16:06
xnox* merged boost, and split python-pyste to demote gccxml to universe.16:06
xnox* still to do resolve device name of the "generic", for system-image16:06
xnox  updates in the emulator16:06
xnox..16:06
jodh`* upstart: cgroup:16:06
jodh`  - Continued work on cgroup support. Improved the internal16:06
jodh`    representation of a cgroup (currently updating tests to reflect16:06
jodh`    this).16:06
jodh`  - cgmanager discussions with hallyn+stgraber.16:06
jodh`* misc: short week - out yesterday.16:07
jodh`ס֙16:07
slangasekxnox: emulator \o/  but hmm, I guess the question isn't whether we can run them in a VM, but whether they will perform well enough to be worth anything16:07
barryslangasek: seems like boot (maybe disk access?) is quite slow, but cli performance doesn't seem too bad once it's booted16:08
xnoxslangasek: it's both. using juju / openstack instances is preferred over having a physical bare-metal box contention.16:09
xnoxslangasek: and performance.... cpu emulation is still slow and there is no obvious way to crank up emulated cpu speed, unless we start using generic-x86 builds with accelerated kvm style emulation.16:10
xnoxslangasek: which will take us into the nested kvm bugs, once again ;-)16:10
xnoxjodh`: has nested kvm been resolved at all, in the case of upstart tests?16:10
slangasekyes, yes, it would16:10
slangasekxnox: not in the least16:10
slangasekbarry: cli performance is not what we are testing :)16:11
xnoxslangasek: excellent, the more i do the more there is to do.....16:11
slangasek * recruiting for the Foundations Team opening16:11
slangasek * bootstrapping/porting work16:11
slangasek * release engineering for alpha 116:11
slangasek * fix libfreetype-dev dependencies so things using freetype-config don't FTBFS16:11
barryslangasek: yeah, i know16:11

stgraber   - Finished work on the configure-overview branch and landed upstream.16:12
stgraber   - Tried to debug and ended up working around an issue with clang-3.4 (reverted to 3.2 for now as it looked like a compiler/parser bug).16:12

stgraber - Ubuntu touch16:12
stgraber   - Enabled discard use by default (once initamfs-tools-ubuntu-touch manages to build...)16:12

stgraber - Other16:12
stgraber   - SRU and New reviews16:12
stgraber   - A couple of merges16:12

barrysystem-image: LP: #1256229, LP: #1260712.  started looking at system-image and autopilot on emulator; filed some emulator and u-d-m bugs with issues found - with those fixed, we're probably not too far off from system-image working in emulator.16:12

stgraberdoko: if you're interested by what may be a llvm bug when building LXC under clang I can poke you about it afterwards. (It looks to me like it's wrongly reporting unused functions)16:16
dokostgraber, clang is in universe =)16:16
stgraberdoko: sure and we still use and recommend gcc by default, but I like to have our QA setup build on more than one compiler just to make sure we're not doing anything too gcc-specific in there16:17
dokostgraber, yes, but ENOTIME16:18
slangasekand no cjwatson today, so that's all of us16:18
slangasekany questions?16:18
xnoxslangasek: when is the next meeting?16:18
slangasekxnox: January!16:18
slangasekJanuary 8?16:18
stgraberdoko: ok :) For now I've just hardcoded clang-3.2 in our test suite and that's done the trick, hopefully someone who actually cares enough will debug and fix that problem at some point ;)16:18
slangasekno, January 216:19
doko2015?16:19
dokostgraber, did you check 3.4?16:19
slangasekdoko: I hope you don't count array indices the way you count years ;)16:19
xnoxslangasek: is there much point in 2nd jan meeting? i guess it will be a rather quick one anyway.16:20

dholbachhello everybody17:05
dholbach#topic Check-in with the Developer Membership Board17:06
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Check-in with the Developer Membership Board
dholbachdo we have anyone from the DMB here?17:06
dholbachScottK, bdrung_, laney, micahg, tumbleweed, stgraber: anyone of you guys around?17:07
mhall119I emailed them, but it was moderated, and the list owner was the TB, who didn't exist17:07
LaneyI moderated it.17:08
dholbachhey laney17:08
cprofitthello everyone17:08
Laneyhello17:08
dholbachhow are things?17:08
dholbachhow has the last cycle been for the DMB?17:08
Laneydepends how much you like autopilot17:08
Laneyhmm, I think it's been much on the level17:09
Laneywe've had some new people but not been overly busy17:09
Laneythe TB approved the PPU change that we talked about before17:09
dholbachexcellent17:09
dholbachdidn't you have any other changes up your sleeves, like making it easier for Debian developers too?17:09
dholbachor are we at the "it's as easy as it gets" point already? :)17:10
Laneywe did some of that17:10
Laneyhave used it a couple of times already17:10
Laneyprobably need some more experience to know where it could be made easier17:10
dholbachdid you get any feedback? or was it straight enough for people who are not in the Ubuntu project too much yet?17:11
Laneycurrently you have to have attended a DMB interview once before17:12
Laneyso it's not /that/ simple17:12
LaneyI guess somehow that could be relaxed, but we suck at doing email applications17:12
dholbachdo two DMB interviews or first somebody else's interview? (I'm not sure I understand... :-))17:12
Laneyone17:12
Laneythen you just email to get more stuff17:12
dholbachah ok17:12
dholbachone thing we talked about in the past was that the DAT and DMB work more closely together, but the DAT has gone through a bit of a hard time recently because many of its members got quite busy (me included) - so I wanted to ask: do you feel people who should apply (because they're experienced enough) do it?17:14
Laneyyeah generally people do if they've managed to get that far17:15
dholbachand I'm just interested in your gut feeling - it's a bit hard to maintain an overview over all people who contribute through the cycles17:15
Laneyprobably getting people to that stage is the part that suffers17:15
dholbachI'll take an action to bring this up with the DAT again17:15
Laneybut we get people coming through like ginggs and mitya57 recently17:15
Laneyand I expect Noskcaj and darkxst soon17:16
dholbach... which is excellent :)17:16
dholbachdo you feel there are Debian developers who would apply for upload rights if they knew more about the possibility?17:17
Laneyummmmmmmmm, that's hard to say17:17
dholbachlike, do you see Debian developers constantly filing sync requests for their packages, etc17:17
Laneynot really, but I think someone would notice and poke them to apply if that happened17:18
Laneypocock is one in that situation, who we're being bad at processing because it's going over email17:18
mhall119do you see Debian developers surprised to learn they can apply?17:18
dholbachlaney: is it the roundtrips that take too long?17:18
Laneyit's just something that gets put off17:19
Laneybecause there's no fixed time for it17:19
Laneyyou know how these things are17:19
dholbachI mark mails as unread if I didn't reply to them yet...............17:20
dholbachsorry, probably not the most useful suggestion :)17:20
Laneyhaha17:20
mhall119email still sucks as a TODO list manager17:20
dholbachstill, it feels possible to me to get it done somehow :)17:20
Laneyeveryone knows they have to just DO IT but it still doesn't always work17:20
Laneydoing it live on IRC is much better for everyone17:20
Laneymhall119: not really17:21
dholbachsure17:21
Laneybut I don't think the fast path processes are very well advertised17:21
dholbachwhat the MC did (ages ago) was sort of like a private stand-up meeting where we went through our TODO17:21
dholbachit sounds to me like something like this would probably just take 5-10 minutes for the DMB17:21
Laneyhmm17:22
LaneyI dunno, we aren't very good at exerting social pressure on each other17:22
dholbachthere must be a way to make it a bit more painful to admit that something still hasn't gotten done :)17:22
Laneylike the PPU team reorganisation has gone on for weeks already17:22
mhall119does the DMB have regular meetings?17:23
Laneythere's a named person assigned to it, it gets brought up at every meeting as it's on the agenda, yet somehow ...17:23
Laneysure, every two weeks17:24
Laneyhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperMembershipBoard/Agenda17:24
mhall119so it's brought up, and everybody knows who's supposed to do it, but it just doesn't happen?17:24
Laneypretty much17:24
Laneyhow do you deal with that?17:24
mhall119big stick?17:24
Laneynot sure what stick we have available17:25
mhall119is there a list right now of people that need to be contacted?17:25
Laneyother than getting them removed from the board17:25
pleia2some boards have taken to have a secretary who makes sure the administrative stuff is followed through on17:26
pleia2and the CC uses a trello board so we don't lose track of tasks17:26
Laneythere's just one person17:26
LaneyI really don't think keeping track is the problem17:26
pleia2fair enough17:26
LaneyIt's just lack of urgency17:26
cprofittwhy is there a lack of urgency?17:27
dholbachcprofitt, I guess it's all busy people17:27
mhall119Laney: you said there's a named person assigned to every applicant?17:27
Laneynein, applicants are handled by everyone17:27
Laneythis is for other things17:27
mhall119so when you say "there's a named person assigned to it", what is the "it"?17:28
Laneyother action items, such as restructuring PPU teams that we have ongoing atm17:28
Laneypreviously it was a project to gather descriptions for packagesets17:28
Laneyso that we could more easily extend them17:28
Laneyeventually we dropped that one because it went on so long17:28
mhall119Laney: so there aren't currently any of these things that need to be taken care of?17:29
Laneysure there is, I just said one :-)17:29
mhall119restructing PPU teams?17:29
Laneyand I'm the one who was supposed to start pocock's application but haven't done it yet17:29
Laneywas waiting for some endorsements but it looks like they came in now17:30
mhall119so maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see a list of these and who's assigned to them17:30
Laneyit was a project we worked on in consultation with the previous CC17:30
mhall119on the agenda page17:30
Laneyumm, it's listed as an action point on the agenda17:31
LaneyIt's true that we should have starting the application there, let me add that17:31
Laneythere we go17:32
cprofittLaney: the CC has used Trello to track and assign items... not sure if something like that could help with some of the items17:33
pleia2cprofitt: mentioned that :)17:34
LaneyYeah17:34
LaneyIt might help in that it breaks down the tasks I guess17:34
dholbachI think if the DMB uses the Wiki that should work as well - you'll always have to have somebody looking at the list again to see what's still in TODO and DOING :)17:34
Laneyit's only tracked in the agenda, which means that we come back to things every two weeks17:35
Laneythe idea is that people feel shame if they haven't done their work17:35
Laneydoesn't work so well :-(17:35
dholbachlaney: maybe somebody could send a reminder between the two meetings17:35
Laneyyeah maybe17:36
LaneyI'll try that17:36
dholbachawesome17:36
dholbachapart from that you feel everything's working out fine?17:36
LaneyI think everything's on the same level as it was last time we had this kind of meeting ...17:37
dholbachok :)17:37
dholbachdoes anyone else have any more questions for the DMB?17:37
dholbachlaney: anything else you wanted to bring up or the CC could help with?17:38
xnoxdholbach: what do they really want for Christmas?17:38
xnox=)17:38

Laneythe list of candidates for the TB - how were they selected? I didn't see any call; was it done in private?17:45
dholbachlaney: I don't know where it was, but wasn't there a call for nominations?17:46
