ochosimorning everyone07:14
elfymorning ochosi 07:15
ochosijust sent out the ultimate "please add/remove software X"-temptation email to the devel ML07:28
elfyI hope you [TEAM]'d it :D07:29
elfythat'll make all the difference apparently ... 07:29
ali1234i think you all have deficient email clients07:30
ali1234if you can't keep up with the flood of messages on xubuntu-devel07:30
ali1234it must be what, 5 a day?07:31
elfyali1234: I don't have an issue with that at all07:31
ochosiali1234: i wanted to ask you this before, but would something like a fade-to-black before the X11 screensaver blanks the screen be best implemented in the compositor or somewhere else?07:42
ali1234that should be in the screensaver i think07:43
ochosiok07:44
ochosiknome: can we have social sharing buttons on the xubuntu.org/news posts?07:45
ali1234i have a plugin for that which does not rely on any funky api nonsense07:49
ochosiknome: ^ :)07:50
ochosiali1234: i'm not sure though it'll be easy to install plugins there with the little amount of control we seem to have over the installation...07:51
ali1234probably not, no07:51
ochosialso, those changes seem to take forever every time07:51
ali1234you can put it in the theme functions.php though07:51
ochosithe locking article could've been published two months ago almost07:51
ochosiwe couldn't add the css, so i doubt we can edit functions.php :)07:51
ali1234https://github.com/ali1234/share-buttons07:54
ali1234probably has many bugs07:54
ochosi:)07:54
ochosiali1234: if there's anything you'd wanna work on in this cycle feel free to let me know so we can add it to a blueprint07:55
ali1234fixing bugs...07:55
ali1234i want to fix this xfce panel bug with multimonitor, but it is a really deep problem07:56
ali1234also corner tiling07:56
ochosiright, corner tiling08:00
ochosithose are mostly things we'd wanna fix upstream08:01
ochosiand try to get a new xfwm4 release into utopic08:01
knomewe can edit functions.php... but it's not any easier than getting a plugin in09:51
knomeand since it is so, i'd rather keep it out of the theme :)09:52
knomei can't see any plugins for that, but we should probably ask canonical first if they had some "known" ones they'd prefer us to use09:53
knomeochosi, re: blueprints, is there something that you'd like me to work on during the next cycle that is or isn't on the blueprints yet?10:27
ochosiknome: it'd be great if you could work a bit on the "document our processes" stuff10:29
ochosibecause you know a lot (maybe the most) about that10:29
ochosiand it'd be sustainable to write it down10:29
ochosias long as you still remember it ;)10:30
knomei've been putting it down as i've noticed it's missing10:30
ochosicool10:31
knomei added greybird-a11y to the artwork blueprint10:31
knomeas you probably notices10:31
knome*noticed10:31
ochosiyup10:31
knomewhat about the wallpaper?10:31
knomedo you want me to keep thinking about it?10:32
ochosiwell i'm happy if you wanna keep working on that10:32
knomei can do that10:32
ochosii didn't assign it to you straight away because you said you wanted a break10:32
knomejust assigned myself10:32
ochosiand i wasn't sure what that entailed10:32
knomewell, yeah, a break from leading responsibilities10:32
ochosisure10:32
knomei'm still doing this and that in the ubuntu community, so...10:33
knomebtw, we got green light for our loco theme from the trademarks team10:33
knomerefresher: this one: http://ufistaging.lallinaho.fi/10:33
ochosicongrats10:33
ochosiyeah, i remember10:33
knomeyeah, and the web team is interested to work with me10:33
ochosihey, running off to other teams is TABOO! :)10:34
knomelol10:34
knomejust on the theme ;)10:34
knomeand to be clear: the canonical web team10:34
knomenot the community :P10:34
ochosioh, $$$ :D10:35
knomehaha!10:35
knomenot really i suspect10:35
knomebut hey, who knows what comes out of it10:35
knomei'm not keeping hopes or specifically trying to follow that path in the hoep of moolah10:35
ochosiif you have other ideas for the blueprints, please feel free to just add them10:37
ochosiwe can have a discussion over what gets in at a meeting or so10:37
knomei'll do tht10:37
knomebut probably not too much10:37
knomei'm avoiding thinking :P10:38
ochosibut for now we still have this post-LTS vacuum10:38
knomeyep10:38
knomeperfect time to work on other projects10:38
knomeand non-release-schedule-based ones10:38
ochosiyeah, i still would like to see ali1234's panel-switch app in xubuntu10:42
ochosi(well, ideally upstream directly in the panel, but hey...)10:42
knomeyeah, that'd be nice10:42
ochosibluesabre: do you need anything else for the 1.8.5 sync request?10:59
ochosior do we just wait at this point10:59
bluesabrenope, actually uploading the debdiffs right now11:00
ochosialso, as a member of the US part of our team, what other meeting time would work for you?11:00
ochosii'm considering scheduling another meeting soon11:00
ochosiand wanna try a different daytime agai11:00
ochosin11:00
bluesabreany time before 12mm UTC was actually quite good for me, other than that, anytime after 11pm UTC11:01
bluesabreotherwise I take my laptop to work and tether to my phone11:01
ochosiok, thanks for the heads up11:03
ochosipleia2: as another member from the US, what time works for you?11:03
ochosibluesabre: shall we try to look at the lid bug again tonight?11:04
bluesabreyeah, I'll try to make it online at a reasonable time11:05
ochosiok cool11:05
ochosiif you can, lemme know if you can't make it11:05
ochosior if you prefer the other way round, that also works :)11:06
ochosi(just so that i know how hard to try to be online)11:06
bluesabre:)11:08
bluesabrehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+bug/132083011:08
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1320830 in lightdm-gtk-greeter (Ubuntu) "Please merge lightdm-gtk-greeter 1.8.5-1 from Debian unstable" [Undecided,Confirmed]11:08
ochosiso is there anyone to poke or will it just get done?11:10
bluesabrethe sponsors will probably pick it up11:10
bluesabreor maybe I can poke Logan_ or micahg11:10
bluesabre:)11:11
ochosisounds good :)11:11
ochosibbabl11:18
ochosielfy: we have a staging PPA now, as soon as there are packages for it, this one and the xubuntu-dev one will be used for testing: https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/xubuntu-staging14:42
ochosifyi, micahg rejected creating one PPA per series, because PPAs can hold multiple series (which is true)14:43
knomeochosi, sure, otoh, we might not want to test *all of it* in the a release15:04
knomeor to put it otherwise, all packages in the PPA might not be relevant15:04
ochosiknome: yeah, ppl will have to filter the view according to the release they're using to see the relevant packages15:42
ochosi(in launchpad)15:42
ochosifor installing packages it mostly won't matter15:43
knomewell, that's not what i meant15:43
knomewell, for installing packages it might matter15:43
ochosinot sure i get what you mean15:43
knomenvm15:44
knometoo hot to explain15:44
ochosiali1234: say, would it be possible to convert all trayicons to "indicators" in the sense that they'd be toggle-buttons with left-click menus attached?15:51
ochosii mean in the panel15:51
knomewhere else do we have trayicons than panel? :P16:05
ochosiwell one way would be to create panel-plugins for specific things, like nm-applet16:06
ochosi(as an alternative to the indicators, i mean)16:06
elfyochosi: thanks 16:16
pleia2ochosi: any time after 1700 UTC (can usually do 1600, but in the winter that's early)16:40
ochosipleia2: ok, thanks, will try to set the next meeting time so you'll be able to make it16:44
ochosiany specific weekdays that don't work?16:44
pleia2ochosi: nope, all are fine16:45
ochosiok16:58
ochosiwill try to set a meeting asap then16:58
pleia2hooray blueprints16:59
ochosielfy: well it *is* moving forward, yeah19:48
ochosii think that we know how to fix the bug and that we have a semi-working patch19:48
ochosibut it still needs to be tweaked and maybe eve extended a little19:48
elfyok cool ty19:48
ochosiwe actually planned to sit down tonight and take a look at it (we = me and bluesabre)19:49
elfyaah ok - I'll see what piskie has to show me tomorrow19:50
ochosiyup, we'll try to keep you posted19:57
ochosipleia2: i presume the posts on xubuntu.org/news don't land on gÃ+ automagically, right?21:33
pleia2ochosi: nope, facebook is the only magic21:33
ochosiif that is the case, would you mind putting the last one about locking to g+ (and along the way show me how?)21:33
pleia2ochosi: you can do it! I can show you how21:34
ochosicould we make the g+ thingy automatic too though?21:34
pleia2no, G+ sucks and has no api21:34
ochosioh :/21:34
knomeochosi, interested in twitter as well? :)21:34
pleia2ochosi: go to your google plus page and click on your face in the top right and select "Xubuntu" page21:34
ochosiknome: nah, i'm only interested in the things i'm using myself ;)21:34
knomehehe, sure21:35
pleia2once that loads can just add in a link to the link thingy, usually I say some stuff about the post too21:35
knomei'll tweet it anyway though21:35
pleia2knome: thanks :)21:35
knometweeted21:35
ochosiknome: thanks :) you know that i *meant* "interested in doing myself.."21:35
knomeochosi, yeah, that's ok, i can keep managing the twitter account21:36
ochosibtw, why the news and blog duplication on x.org?21:36
knomehm?21:36
pleia2news and blog are different things (and blog includes news)21:37
knomethe blog has *all* articles21:37
knomenews are announcements21:37
knomearticles is pretty much everything else21:37
knomebut practically we could have even more categories21:37
knomethey would all show up in blog21:38
knomebut not in news/articles21:38
pleia2suppose we should write FAQ soon21:38
knomewe haven't done that in a few cycles21:38
pleia2but now I'm giving myself work :( who made me talk in here21:38
pleia2hehe21:38
knome12.10 last one21:38
pleia2yeah, it's time again I think21:38
knomeyep, at least for LTS releases21:38
knomethat said, we might want to review the wording at the help page21:39
knome"Also visit our Frequently Asked Questions, available for Xubuntu 11.10 and onward."21:39
knomei wonder if bruno would be willing to continue this trend of the FAQ articles, would take the workload off of pleia2 21:39
knomeand is something that can be done in small junks at a time21:40
knomewhich, afaiu, is required at the moment for work for bruno21:40
ochosipleia2: could you check whether it got posted? it first seemed it didnt, then it seemed like it did twice... my connection is a bit flaky here21:43
pleia2ochosi: posted twice at first, but looks good now21:44
ochosiok, ty21:44
ochosiÃ+1'd and reshared21:44
knomeà ?21:44
knome:P21:44
ochosiyeah, i have no idea why my screen session has lost its ability to handle odd characters21:46
ochosii only see question marks on black ground for the tilde21:47
knomehuhu21:47
ochosi(and i can't even remove it by backspacing it away)21:47
ochosimaybe it's also irssi21:47
knomemm21:48
knomei'm too lazy to debug it with you now, but ask me some time later21:48
ochosiwill try something now...21:49
ochosifixed21:51
knome:)21:52
ochosihey Noskcaj_ 22:08
Noskcaj_hey ochosi22:09
ochosiwelcome back - good to see you around again :)22:09
ochosito answer your question from the mailinglist22:09
ochosii haven't set the next meeting time yet22:10
Noskcaj_I think i said this in the mailing list, but the hardware part of my dev pc is finally working, and i should have a new laptop later this week22:10
knomeallö Noskcaj_, and welcome to assign yourself some work items ;)22:10
Noskcaj_ok22:10
Noskcaj_hey knome22:10
Noskcaj_not quite yet22:10
ochosiNoskcaj_: just wondering, what daytime/nighttime (in UTC) would be good for you in terms of meetings?22:11
Noskcaj_ochosi: 2000-2200UTC, or 0800-1200UTC22:12
Noskcaj_6-8am and 4-8pm in my time22:13
ochosiok, good to know22:13
ochosijust trying to figure out a different meeting time for the next meeting :)22:13
Noskcaj_Are there any issues with booting to uefi?22:14
Noskcaj_My live usb is broken22:14
ochosino idea, i don't have such a new machine ;)22:16
ochosiUnit193: as another US based member, would 20UTC work for you?23:19
ochosior, what other times would/nt work23:19
elfyhi ochosi 23:19
Unit193ochosi: Sounds do-able, aye.23:19
ochosiok, then i'll do a US friendly version this time around23:20
knome20UTC is getting kind of pretty late here, but i can do that23:20
elfyknome: you utc+2 atm?23:21
knome+323:21
elfyaah - normally +2 23:21
knome(yes it's 2am+ here now and i'm still up, no complaints about 20UTC i guess ;))23:22
knomeyeah, but DST stuff23:22
elfyha ha ha 23:22
Unit1931900 worked for me too. :P23:23
* elfy sends pa bug and watches it disappear for ever 23:23
ochosithere'll always be problems23:24
ochosifrankly i wouldn't mind if we just managed to fix two meeting times23:24
ochosiand alternate between the two23:24
ochosibut for now let's try to let the chairs decide23:24
elfythat would be better I think than random times decided by chairs 23:24
elfybut yea23:24
knomei think it's a great incentive for the chairs to decide the meetings23:25
ochosianyway, meeting-time set23:27
ochosiUnit193: care to update the google-cal?23:27
Unit193Just to make sure, can you tell me exactly when?23:27
knomei can update.23:28
ochosimay 26, 20utc23:28
ochosi(just sent the email to the ML)23:28
knomedone23:28
Unit193Ah, hasn't hit me yet.  I could just fine but looks ^23:28
Unit193knome: Thanks.23:29
knomei have the calendar set in a really accessible fashion right now23:29
knomeso if you need somebody to add anything, it's just a few clikcs23:29
ochosiyou do?23:29
knomeyeah23:29
ochosii'd like to have that too23:29
knomei have it on lightbird on thunderbird23:29
ochosii just have a very very slow tab in firefox23:29
* ochosi would really love to see a calendar app in xubuntu that works with google-calendar23:29
knomewell, thunderbird ;)23:29
ochosimeh23:30
knomehah.23:30
knomeyeah, works for me, probably not something for default setup23:30
ochosithunderbird reminds me too much of those very very slow tabs in firefox23:30
knome:D23:30
knomeoh btw,23:30
Unit193I have junk/gcalset if I want to set an Xubuntu meeting.23:30
knomewhat's the limit on the meeting scheduling?23:30
Unit193ochosi: gcalcli+conky?23:30
knomedoes slickymaster basically need to schedule for week 23?23:31
ochosiUnit193: have a conkyrc for that handy?23:31
Unit193Not so pretty, but yep.23:31
knomeor does it slide23:31
ochosiknome: i'd like to discuss the rhythm at the next meeting23:31
knomegoodie.23:31
ochosii'm actually rather relaxed about that in general23:31
knomejust popped up in my mind..23:31
ochosiwhen we need it, we'll have weekly meetings23:32
knomeyeah, i guess it's better that way23:32
knomethough, there should be technically some limitation23:32
ochosias long as we don't, we can have one every two weeks23:32
knome"at most 2 weeks from the last meeting"23:32
knomeso the schedule is kind of organic23:32
ochosiyeah23:32
knomebut still keeps us with meetings23:32
ochosii'm wondering whether we should write this down somewhere23:33
knomeprobably when it's decided23:33
knomecan go on the Processes page23:33
ochosijust sending it to the ML sometimes feels like... echo "blah" > /dev/null23:33
elfyput it on a m/l with [TEAM]23:33
knomeif you think "for the next meeting", i can just repeat myself23:33
elfyochosi: oh - so it's not just me then :p23:33
knomeelfy, definitely not just you...23:34
Unit193~/.gcalclirc: [gcalcli]\nuser: ochosi\npw: mylittlepasswordismagic  then pop something like  ${execpi 300 gcalcli --conky --cals=all  agenda `date +%m/%d/%Y` `date +%m/%d/%Y -d "2 days"`}  in .conky23:34
elfyanother bug reported on the tracker that looks like it should be against a testcase and not xfce4-settings23:34
ochosipart of the problem is that there is no big tradition in this team to use the mailinglist23:34
ochosifor internal communication23:34
ochosimost people are on IRC anyways23:36
ochosiand most members of -team have a remote login23:36
knome...and we've kind of wanted to support that23:36
elfywell 2 at least only have that because someone else in -team offered it23:37
elfyand having IRC as the way to communicate - doesn't mean that it happens23:37
elfynot all of us are in other channels23:37
ochosiyeah, easy enough to join though23:38
ochosii'd expect everyone to be in the channels relevant to him/her anyway23:38
elfythat's not the point ;)23:38
knomemaybe they should ;)23:39
elfy[19:03] <elfy> I suspect there were bits in xfce channels, bits in shimmer - there were certainly bits in here 23:39
elfy[19:07] <bluesabre> indeed23:39
elfy[19:07] <bluesabre> lots of bits in shimmer23:39
elfy[19:07] <bluesabre> tbh23:39
knomewell, that's not what i meant either :)23:39
elfyhere being -offtopic23:39
knomei acknowledge the problem with #shimmer specifically23:40
knomewhat i mean is other ubuntu channels, like #ubuntu-release or #ubuntu-quality23:40
bluesabred'oh, logged by elfy23:46
Unit193>_>23:47
ochosibluesabre: this should be pretty much the appdata stuff for parole: http://dpaste.com/2ANB2A7/23:50
knomei'm off23:50
ochosinight knome 23:51
knomehf everybody, and see you later23:51
knomenighty night23:51
elfyme too - night all 23:51
bluesabreseeya knome and elfy23:51
ochosinight elfy 23:51
bluesabreochosi: cool, that seems simple enough23:51
ochosiyup, sucks a bit that we have to keep that release-list up to date23:52
ochosithat's the most annoying overhead part i can see for now23:52
bluesabreyeah23:52
bluesabrewe can probably script that23:52
bluesabreand put it into configure.ac.in23:52
ochosianyway, i'll ping hughsie and ask him to review it23:52
bluesabreok23:52
ochosiyeah, but incl the release-mail?23:52
bluesabrethat might be tricky23:53
ochosii mean that link doesn't seem very scriptable..23:53
ochosianyhow, i'll let you know once i got this figured out23:53
bluesabredoes it need to be the release mail, we could alternatively link to release announcements I throw onto my site23:53
ochosior the git commit id23:54
bluesabrethat works23:54
ochosiUnit193: i presume the compton stuff can be put in /xdg ?23:54
ochosibluesabre: yeah, sure, but release-mails are nicer (changelog etc)23:54
bluesabretrue23:54
saxx_Hey23:54
bluesabrebut23:54
bluesabreit will be impossible to include the current version's release mail23:54
bluesabrebecause of that link23:55
bluesabrehey saxx_, what's up?23:55
ochosiunless you update the appdata file only *after* the release23:55
ochosi:)23:55
bluesabreso... release, modify released tarball?23:55
ochosigood point though, this is something to ask hughsie23:55
saxx_Hey Blue, just messing around customizing stuff, just done a fresh install23:55
Unit193ochosi: https://github.com/chjj/compton/blob/master/src/compton.c#L514523:56
ochosiUnit193: a simple "yes" would've sufficed though :)23:57
Unit193Oh, right.  Words. :(23:57
ochosias you seem interested in the compton file, would that be a workitem you'd take for 14.10?23:58
Unit193I've used compton, but I purged it a while ago.23:58
ochosiis that a yes or a no..? :)23:59
