[15:03] and last week was out skiing. [15:03] on a snowboard but that's minor details. [15:04] you should've taken your laptop with while snowboarding, it's nearly as ergonomic as working while chasing a deer with a spear [15:04] jodh_: You're up, if your bouncing internet hasn't caught up with reality. [15:04] infinity: yeah, perfect timing... :) one sec... [15:04] slangasek: noted. There actually was free wifi on most slopes (not black though, not sure why not) [15:05] hah [15:05] * foundations-1305-upstart-work-items [15:05] - cgroup support: [15:05] - Updated cgroup branch to make use of new cgmanager [15:05] API RemoveOnEmpty() (which simplifies the Upstart code significantly).

[15:05] ❂ [15:05] jodh_: Say, do I get my session bug fixed? ;) [15:06] infinity: it's in the pile somewhere, but cgroups is the priority atm. You could try bending xnox/stgrabers ear though? :) [15:06] Or I could just submit an MP to invert the option and the result and call it done. Tempted. [15:06] - openjdk-6 and openjdk-7 updates, merges, icedtea-web pending [15:06] - finally libjogl2-java building, no more jvm crash on aarch64.

[15:10] bdmurray: He's set it up cronned on nusakan right now, we might move it to a role account somewhere sane and make it vaguely self-documenting at that point. [15:10] cjwatson: I had a bit of a head-start :) [15:10] mvo_: a readme in the source package would be great :) [15:11] mvo_: about command-not-found, the amd64 package should really also ship indexes for i386, since multiarch is enabled by default and some apps are i386 only e.g. "ubuntu-emulator" shall i file a separate bug about that? [15:11] barry: indeed, I will do that [15:11] * off on Monday, so shorter week [15:11] * various queue reviews for the final freeze [15:11] * spending some time looking at the Qt gl/gles split for x86, to see if we can make this work [15:11] * working with bdmurray, infinity, xnox on packaging of various new ppc64el-specific packages (lsvpd, libvpd, ppc64-diag) [15:11] * UPCOMING: [15:11] * interviewing for the Java role this week [15:11] xnox: good point, please do (but I also write it down now) [15:11] * discussion with the TB about how archive-specific archives can/should be managed under the Ubuntu umbrella (UbuntuKylin) === brendand-afk is now known as brendand [15:12] slangasek: "archive-specific archives"? [15:12] heh [15:12] flavor-specific [15:12] As in, they don't want to be in our archive anymore? [15:13] This should be fun. [15:14] mvo_: bug #1302011 [15:14] bug 1302011 in command-not-found (Ubuntu) "amd64 data packages should include i386 indexes" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1302011 [15:14] worked with webops to resolve issues with the daisy not accepting OOPSes and retracers failing [15:14] updated errors.ubuntu.com to r463 (don't display derivatives or unknown distros on the front page count) [15:14] updated daisy to use python-distro-info for determining the devel release of Ubuntu (r419) [15:14] also updated error-tracker-dependencies to depend on python-distro-info [15:14] updated cassandra tunnels code with prodstack host IPs for evan [15:14] wrote a tool to query launchpad with outdated dbg sym log messages from the retracers to see if the packages are recent so we can create the ddebs [15:15] mvo_: One could really argue that point for all arches. I suspect the extra data for including all arches would be tiny, so maybe worth if it c-n-f said something like "for binary ppc-thing, install foo:powerpc or foo:ppc64el, it's not available on your current architecture"... Or, even more cleverly, only tell me about it if it's available on a foreign-arch I already have enabled. [15:15] research into a failed armhf retrace for seb128 [15:15] infinity: see your TB list mail; it's not that they don't want to be in our archive, but that they have "partner" apps that can't go in the /Canonical/ partner archive [15:15] wrote a tool to check retracer log files to find out why a retrace failed [15:15] SRU queue work with arges [15:15] uploaded fix for ubuntu-release-upgrader bug 1294814 [15:15] bug 1294814 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu Trusty) "DistUpgradeApport.py launches apport-gtk" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1294814 [15:15] wrote and uploaded an apport package hook for kerneloops [15:15] research and testing of ubuntu-release-upgrader bug 1298281 [15:15] apturl bug triage and reporting (LP: #1300465 and LP: #1300466) [15:15] reported apport LP: #1300474 regarding tmpdir [15:15] uploaded fix for libpng bug LP: #1298779 [15:15] testing upgrade bug 1286161 [15:15] bug 1298281 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "prompt to restart services in text mode during an upgrade in graphic mode" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1298281 [15:15] Launchpad bug 1300465 in python-apt (Ubuntu) "description dialog is empty" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1300465 [15:15] Launchpad bug 1300466 in apturl (Ubuntu) "second installation request unusable" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1300466 [15:15] Launchpad bug 1300474 in apport (Ubuntu) "tmp directory cleanup fails" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1300474 [15:15] Launchpad bug 1298779 in libpng (Debian) "C++11 incompatibility" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1298779 [15:15] ✔ done [15:15] bug 1286161 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu Trusty) "13.10 -> 14.04 upgrade failed: initramfs failed to ugprade, udev is not configured yet" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1286161 [15:16] * Onboarding of new colleague Jorge Niedbalski [15:16] * Worked on updating the Onboarding documentation [15:16] * Completed pre-sponsor SRU work for bug #1293291 (enable btmp logging) [15:16] * Tested new kexec-tools v2.0.6 [15:16] Error: Launchpad bug 1293291 could not be found [15:16] * sosreport development & SRU (bug #1296755) [15:16] * Started investigation on bug #1157943 with mvo [15:16] bug 1296755 in sosreport (Ubuntu Saucy) "sosreport archive /var/lib/maas by default" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1296755 [15:16] bug 1157943 in apt (Ubuntu Precise) "apt-get update fails hash checks on https repositories when file size changes" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1157943 [15:16] infinity: mvo_: i guess we should ship data for all arches in an arch_all package, and simply do lookup across arches that are enabled e.g. (all, amd64, foreign) [15:16] btmp logging is bug #743858 [15:16] bug 743858 in openssh (Ubuntu Saucy) "sshd not appending to /var/log/btmp" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/743858 [15:16] done [15:16] infinity, stgraber: it's obviously not great timing in the release cycle for them to be raising this question, so it's understandable if the TB doesn't manage to sign off on it before release, but this is an important problem so please make this TB discussion a priority [15:17] slangasek: Yeah, just caught up on the thread, I haven't read that folder for a few days. [15:17] slangasek: Ick. [15:17] slangasek: yeah, I already replied to their proposal yesterday (though not particularly positively :)) [15:18] stgraber: well, you replied saying "too late for 14.04" - I'm saying we should try our best to decide this for 14.04, even though the request is quite late :) === vladk|offline is now known as vladk [15:19] any questions re: status? [15:19] I'm not sure it's the right place to ask, but one may show me where to ask : [15:20] slangasek: well, if we want to decide on this quickly, I'm fine sending a simple -1 now, but thought it may be worth seeing if they can come up with something slightly more reasonable that I may be convinced to approve. [15:20] I'm member of BugControl so I can add task to series [15:20] but I cannot approve them : who should I ask to be added to the proper team ? [15:20] caribou: Me. [15:20] caribou: What's your LP ID? [15:20] infinity: so plleeeaase : louis-bouchard [15:21] arges is tired of approving them for me [15:21] infinity: thanks! [15:21] stgraber: heh - I would expect a more subtle engagement than just a -1. AFAIK we have no clearly stated policy describing what flavors can or can't have enabled for user downloads, and I think the TB should really write up a policy grounded in principle [15:21] caribou: You're welcome. [15:22] that's all I had [15:22] [TOPIC] AOB === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: AOB [15:22] anything else for today? [15:22] Naps. [15:23] green tea [15:23] !!! [15:23] Unicycle hockey? [15:23] green tea! [15:23] infinity: not today :) [15:23] slangasek: I believe we actually have documentation on that somewhere back when we introduced extras.ubuntu.com. One of those pages is the extension repository documentation but it's not particularly clear, I vaguely remember there being some other page which more clearly states what flavors can use. [15:23] icecream truck arrived \o/ [15:24] stgraber: if you could find that page and bring it to the discussion, I think that would be very useful [15:25] slangasek: cf: my discussions last night about Canonical UNIX user groups and being paranoid about exposure of a few accounts on ftpmaster and cdimage, I'm really not comfy with flavours defaulting to near-impossible-to-audit external archives of potential doom. So, we need both some policy and some better descriptions of what they plan, and what they could compromise on once that plan is deemed nutty. [15:26] infinity: righto. Let's not discuss here with a captive audience though, let's please take it to the list [15:26] xnox: And thanks, now I want a nap *and* ice cream. This could get messy.

[15:27] thanks! [15:34] slangasek: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ExtensionRepositoryPolicy [15:34] as stgraber says, it's a bit vague [15:34] cjwatson: ta [15:35] but it was intended for this kind of thing [16:17] stgraber: Maybe you're thinking of what the old trademark policy said [16:17] https://web.archive.org/web/20130517062713/http://www.ubuntu.com/trademark-policy [16:18] Mainly links to the extension repository policy, but does say a little bit more about what remixes can do [16:18] Don't know how relevant the ™ policy would be to Kylin though [16:19] Laney: ah yeah, I believe that's what Allison wrote back then, that must be it [16:20] Yes, I helped draft it ;-) [16:21] But as I say, I doubt it helps you with precedent here [16:59] o/ [16:59] #startmeeting Community Council [16:59] Meeting started Thu Apr 3 16:59:47 2014 UTC.

GunnarHj is too. [17:04] alright, let's get rolling [17:04] #topic Doc team check-in === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Meetingology documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology | Community Council Meeting | Current topic: Doc team check-in [17:04] yep, back again [17:04] hello Doc team friends! how are things going this cycle? [17:04] sorry for being a bit late [17:05] We have been missing a driver for the desktop guide. [17:05] * pleia2 switches hats [17:05] hello GunnarHj :) [17:05] I've tried to help nudge things along by helping with writing calls, but having more folks willing to push Desktop stuff forward would really help [17:05] dholbach: Hi [17:06] a driver being somebody who's aware of the bug situation, reviews merge proposals and things like that? [17:06] pleia2: GunnarHj: is it particularly difficult or otherwise putting people of from trying to do it? [17:06] the getting involved docs have improved a lot, recruitment itself is just down [17:07] Fixing bugs and handling MPs works. [17:07] But keeping up to date with news and taking responsibility for the docs update has not worked well. [17:08] how are the current contributors being promoted/praised for their work? [17:08] we also have the typical problem of FFes hitting us hard, Ubuntu One is the big nusiance this time - thanks to GunnarHj for being on top of that [17:09] I wish they could have told us a month ago :) [17:09] Agreed. [17:09] oh yeah, I can imagine :-/ [17:09] mhall119: I'm biased, but I think we show that they are welcome and that their work is appreciated. [17:09] GunnarHj: I was thinking more externally and publicly [17:10] are reviews of the docs and/or updates of the TODO list something which is discussed in regular meetings? [17:10] I think what we really need is a Desktop Champion, who herds cats and makes sure we're on top of calls for Doc review and things [17:10] it might help recruitment if others see the current contributors getting that kind of recognition [17:10] so - it's mostly recruitment and 'it's cycle end' issues again? [17:10] pleia2: Right, Desktop champion, driver or whatever... [17:10] elfy: yeah, but technical process wise I think we've got packaging and translations stuff down, finally :) [17:10] I think recruitment is not easy for anyone that I've had much to do with lately to be honest [17:11] * elfy has a bucket full of his own like that [17:11] docs are typically a challenge for recruiting, in my experience [17:11] for any project [17:11] mhall119: yep agreed [17:11] I also think we should ask ourselves if it's motivated to maintain both the desktop guide and the Ubuntu manual separately, considering that we are short of contributors. But that should better be discussed among the docs people first, I suppose. [17:12] * pleia2 nods [17:12] we did have a successful Doc Day where we intermingled Doc and Manual sessions, that was nice :) [17:12] I agree there. Maybe another meeting might be needed in the near time. [17:12] everyone does seem willing to work together [17:13] dholbach: we haven't really had regular meetings [17:13] pleia2, do you think having regular doc days would help? [17:13] dholbach: I don't know, they're a lot of work to put on [17:13] it didn't really seem to increase contributors either :\ [17:13] And maybe Global Jams early the cycle? [17:13] pleia2, in terms of organising the todo list? [17:14] dholbach: to get terms right, doc days were a user-facing thing in Classroom; meetings are internal team things [17:14] I think regular meetings would be useful [17:14] pleia2: Agree. [17:14] Once a month? As in those? [17:14] I organized a couple during the cycle, but I have too much on my plate and didn't do a great job of it :) [17:15] I rarely see anything about docs - unless I actually go digging - doesn't appear to be much publically happening [17:15] pleia2, would it help to set up a schedule with assigned chair for the meetings? [17:15] on planet for instance [17:15] elfy: yeah, pretty sure my post from February is the only one recently [17:16] mmm - that would help raise awareness [17:16] anyway, aside from the standard kind of recruitment issues, I think things are going well compared to where we were a year ago [17:16] I think that regular meetings would be valuable to start with. [17:16] the team is much more open, we do have new contributors [17:16] Agreed. I could help organize them. [17:17] belkinsa: thanks! [17:17] awesome :-D [17:17] Not a problem and I think at least three per cycle is the idea i have in mind. [17:17] I'd say that maybe blogging and getting it on Planet would help [17:17] do you think it'd help to have a standing agenda item in desktop team's meetings about docs? [17:17] elfy: yeah [17:18] dholbach: yes, we've really struggled to get anyone from teams to talk to us [17:18] so could we help with that? [17:18] elfy: Maybe. [17:18] rickspencer offered to help at the last vUDS, but it was too late in the cycle (I'll reach out to him again in a few months) [17:19] In the long run I think that contacts with the desktop team and others ought to be responsibilty of 'the Champion' [17:20] pleia2, maybe it'd help to raise it with seb128/jasoncwarner so they add it to their meeting agendas and note down things which might be of interest for the docs team? [17:20] dholbach: yeah, that'd be great [17:20] A thought (before I lose it): you think using Trello, the to do list, help the doc team? [17:21] do you use it now belkinsa ? [17:21] No. [17:21] personally I use it for xubuntu qa and found it very useful [17:22] it's not a public one - but all the qa team have access to it [17:22] Yeah, that's my idea is to have a team only one. [17:22] belkinsa: I'd certainly try it [17:22] Because I think the meeting bot action items (blueprints) don't help that well. [17:22] I will. [17:23] Are there any other things in the project you'd like to improve? [17:23] Or are there things which went really well this cycle? [17:24] Cleaning up the wiki was a failure. I tried to organize a jam but I lost tack of time and forgot the jam is this weekend. [17:25] belkinsa: But the wiki is not tied to cycles, so it's just keep going with it. [17:25] GunnarHj, right. Duh. [17:25] ;) [17:26] dsmythies does a great job behind the scenes to make things work technically. [17:26] Both with the desktop guide and the server guide. [17:26] cleaning the wiki would make jcastro happy :) [17:26] belkinsa: I wouldn't say it was a failure :) a lot of work got done, we added more admins and brought in the PopularPages team who've been doing a lot [17:27] dholbach: this is help.ubuntu.com, not wiki.o.o [17:27] pleia2, I guess you are right. A lot of work was done. [17:27] still he'd be happy :-) [17:28] dholbach: What more exactly is it he is after? [17:28] dholbach: Mass deletion of outdated pages? [17:28] aloha [17:28] Hey there, czajkowski. [17:29] hi czajkowski [17:29] sorry for being late at another event [17:29] dholbach: The general problem with the wiki is that the docs team members usually don't have the expertise needed to dig into the contents. [17:29] GunnarHj, yes - he gave a lightning talk at a UDS some years ago in which he got very passionate about removing outdated/misleading information :) [17:31] GunnarHj, I can imagine - it'd probably need to be in conjunction with members of other teams [17:31] GunnarHj, I agree and the only way is to have is a Global Jam. [17:31] Or that. [17:32] thanks for coming GunnarHj and belkinsa :) [17:32] Whichever method, it needs to be organized somehow. So regular meetings may help also there. [17:32] Not a problem. [17:32] * belkinsa nods [17:33] anyone here from the QA team? [17:33] np [17:33] thanks for coming along belkinsa GunnarHj [17:33] thanks a lot, and thanks for your tireless work! [17:33] balloons: about? [17:33] * elfy prepares sharp needle ... [17:34] :-) [17:34] no one responded when we told them about the meeting, so I'm not holding my breath [17:34] Your welcome and thank you for this check-in meeting. [17:34] we can move on to AoB and see if anyone shows up in the meantime [17:34] thank belkinsa GunnarHj for coming [17:34] #topic Any other Business === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Meetingology documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology | Community Council Meeting | Current topic: Any other Business [17:35] pleia2: tbh - I don't even know who the QA team is ... [17:35] elfy: I had hoped it would be *bigger* now that QA and Bug folks were working together so closely [17:36] I have a question. What teams are required to go through this check-in? [17:36] belkinsa: any of the elected coucils we over see [17:36] and then ones we'e had request for a catch up [17:36] *we've [17:36] Okay, thank you.

[21:36] #startmeeting 2200 UTC Ubuntu Membership Board [21:36] Meeting started Thu Apr 3 21:36:08 2014 UTC. The chair is iulian. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology. [21:36] Available commands: action commands idea info link nick === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Meetingology documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology | 2200 UTC Ubuntu Membership Board Meeting | Current topic: [21:36] Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu Membership Review Board for the 2200 UTC meeting for April 3, 2014. [21:36] We will attempt to get through all of the applicants that have added themselves to that list before today's meeting. If we are unable to make it through the entire list due to time constraints, then at the next meeting we will pick up where we left off. [21:36] The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO). [21:36] Each applicant should introduce themselves (1-5 sentences) and provide links to their Ubuntu Wiki page. After the introduction the members of the Membership Review Board will review the pages and, if needed, ask the applicant further questions. [21:37] During this time it is encouraged for other members of the community to show their support for the applicant. Do not be alarmed if the members of the Membership Review Board are quiet during this time; they are most likely reading wiki/launchpad/forum/other pages and deciding how they are going to vote. [21:37] When the board is ready to vote, they will publicly vote in the channel with either +1, 0, or -1 (for membership, abstain, and against membership, respectively). If the sum of those numbers is positive, then the applicant is now an official Ubuntu member! (feel free congratulate them!) [21:37] iulian: lets wait another 20 minutes :-) [21:38] Hi [21:38] Whoops. [21:39] Mihir [21:40] Hi there mihir. Apparently I got confused with the time. The meeting should start 20 minutes. [21:40] But if everyone's here, then I wouldn't mind to start earlier. :-) [21:40] RoozbehShafiee: Here? [21:40] Im here too [21:40] thomi: Here? [21:40] iulian: yes [21:40] iulian: yes [21:40] iulian, okay [21:41] cjohnston, Pendulum, hggdh: Do you guys mind if we start earlier? Everyone is present so I believe just waiting for another 20 minutes isn't going to make much of a difference. [21:41] iulian: we should give the candidates time to gather any supporters that they may have had coming to the meeting to support them [21:42] RoozbehShafiee, thomi, mihir: Would you like to start the meeting earlier? Are you guys ready? [21:42] Ah, right, sure. [21:42] iulian, yeah [21:42] iulian: yes Im ready :) [21:42] I'm happy either way [21:46] iulian, ? [21:48] We are just waiting for someone to reply. [21:50] iulian, okay. [21:50] iulian: go for it [21:52] Okey dokey.

I see that you have been a member of the Iran LoCo team since 2009. What is your role within the team? [21:56] my role is forum moderator in this team [21:56] and some of coordinations ubuntu iran in isfahan city are with me [21:57] RoozbehShafiee: it looks like most of your activities you listed are from 2009, 2010... what have you done more recently? [21:58] also in past I worked some of artworks for web site [21:58] recently we had an ubuntu conference in May 2013 [21:59] in Tehran University [21:59] RoozbehShafiee: Do you have a link to your profile on the Ubuntu Iran forums?

[22:04] cjohnston: I emailed to Daniel and Mehdi [22:05] cjohnston: but for persian new year Mehdi didnt answer me [22:05] unfortunately [22:05] Any more questions for RoozbehShafiee? [22:05] cjohnston: also it seems Daniel was not accessible [22:05] RoozbehShafiee: so, the lack of visible *recent*, sustained contributions to Ubuntu, and lack of testimonials, make our task much more difficult [22:07] OK, if there are no more questions, then I believe it's time to vote.

Please do keep up the good work that you are doing with the LoCo team. We are looking forward to reading your application next time you apply. We suggest that you re-apply in a few months. Also please talk to your friends and get some testimonials as they are really useful. [22:10] RoozbehShafiee: I agree with iulian. It looks like you've done good work, it's just not possible for us to really see what it is. [22:10] thomi: I believe you're up next. The stage is all yours. [22:10] iulian Pendulum: ok guys , no problem [22:10] cool [22:11] so, I'm Thomi Richards, my wiki page is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThomiRichards - I currently reside in Dunedin, New Zealand [22:11] The wiki page contains most of the information you probably care about. To summarise... [22:11] I'm the principle author of Autopilot, which we use in our Ubuntu Touch & Desktop acceptance test suites. This is what I spend 90% of my day-to-day hacking time on. [22:11] Pendulum: maybe because I completed my wiki page in 4 days ago, I had not much time to find testimonials [22:11] I'm passionate about improving the quality of Ubuntu releases, and autopilot is one way I can do that. Right now we have dozens of high-profile projects using autopilot for their acceptance tests, and more coming online all the time. [22:11] I'm also a consumate hacker, I have code in dozens of Ubuntu packages and open source projects (to name a few: Ogre3D, crystalspace, blender3d, testtools, etc). [22:11] wait.. theres going to be more? :-/ [22:12] In my spare time I advocate for Linux, open source, and Ubuntu in my local community. I've spoken at conferences (Kiwi PyCon mostly) representing Ubuntu (can link to video if anyone wants). [22:12] :-) [22:12] I was involved in helping organise Linux.conf.au waaaay back in 2006, where Mark Shuttleworth was a keynote speaker, talking about launchpad. [22:12] I work for Canonical, but have been using Linux for about 15 years now, and using Ubuntu since the good old days of Warty Warthog. I'm sure that if I ever stopped working for Canonical I'd still participate in Ubuntu. [22:12] Apart from all that, I'm 'thomir' almost everywhere on the Internet - I think my launchpad, github, ohloh, etc profiles speak for themselves. [22:12] [22:13] Any questions for thomi ? [22:13] None from me. [22:13] ooh [22:13] oh, there are some testamonials on my wiki page as well [22:13] +1 from me [22:13] none from me. [22:13] not for me [22:13] who woke up popey :-P [22:13] none* [22:13] uhu, do I see popey crashing the party? [22:13] hi popey o/ [22:13] Didn't know thomi was up for membership! [22:13] :-) [22:13] :-) [22:14] thomi has bee instrumental in creating the quality of Ubuntu for some time. [22:14] popey had any good bacon and syrup recently :-) [22:14] shush [22:14] I have no questions for thomi, except why took him so long to apply...
