Unit193ochosi: FF the 21st, I've got a terrible memory and I don't see it on trello or blueprints, xfce4-soundmenu-plugin/libmpris2 and xfdash going into 14.10 official?06:55
ochosiUnit193: nah, xfdash can remain in extras for now, same with xfce4-soundmenu06:56
ochosii think the latter still needs a bit of work06:56
ochosithen we can talk about including it by default06:56
ochosi(as long as we don't include it by default i think the PPA is an ok place)06:57
ochosibtw, google forms is a good idea for managing wallpaper submissions: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16R0-IF8m8h5iUad067lf2SNi_v3qkluLe_fcR5f6jsY/viewform06:57
ochosiknome: that takes away most of the maintenance load of the wiki ^06:57
Unit193ochosi: I see, thanks.06:58

skellatDo we want any items to come up for Global Jam to be worked on/played with?  I had seen there was a meeting CCT held earlier today but I didn't catch all they went into.18:08
elfyoops sorry pleia2 :)18:08
pleia2docs and testing are really the only things we can do for Jam stuff18:09
pleia2but I'm not participating in UGJ this time around (will be traveling)18:09
skellatCan anybody identify specifics on our end and relate them to apparently mhall119 and/or dholbach?18:10
skellatThat is to say, low-hanging fruit sorts of opportunities that would help us move forward18:11
elfyapparently not 18:11
pleia2skellat: maybe mail the list to see if anyone is interested in that?18:11
skellatI'll take an action item for that18:12

elfyI saw it somewhere Unit193 18:14
GridCubei think that was announced in the mailing list a few weeks ago18:14

pleia2any gksu/do things?18:17
elfypleia2: is that one not kind of dependent on knome's doc stuff?18:17
Unit193GridCube: Yep, thanks.  It's the memory again. :(18:17
pleia2elfy: perhaps!18:17
GridCube:)18:17
skellatmhall119: We still need to do harvesting on the Xubuntu side first.  You've got time.18:17
elfyI'd +1 returning to gksu tbh - not part of the discussion re removing it in the first place, but I really don't see why we should be the only falvour without gksu 18:18
elfyhi mhall119 :)18:18
* pleia2 nods18:18
skellatelfy: The discussion in last meeting was that it was a tremendous hack and that we need to move towards getting pkexec-related compatabilities set up.18:18
Unit193pkexec is "nice" for things that support it and more secure, but really not so useful everywhere else.  I'd be in favor of using pkexec where we can, but gksu everywhere else and seeding it.18:19
GridCubewho would do that18:19
elfyskellat: maybe so - but still there are huge bunches of people wandering around doing things for ubuntu18:19
elfyand pkexec smacks of the attitude with ibus - fine for us, sorry about you18:19
elfyUnit193: +118:20
pleia2Unit193: +118:20
pleia2did we end up with volunteers to pkexec things?18:20
skellatelfy: micahg wanted to drop it as catfish was one of the last things that needed it as a dependency which it doesn't anymore.  ochosi was advised by mainline security that gksu has security issues.18:20
pleia2boo security18:21
elfypleia2: I had already got 3 here - put them on the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Utopic/Pkexec18:21
elfyskellat: even so - where does that put everyone else - and I repeat - it is US and Studio that don't seed gksu18:21
elfyand I don't see the sky falling in on anyone else18:22
pleia2elfy: oh good18:22
skellatelfy: That will require further study to see where it puts us in the overall realm of who is using gksu & who isn't18:23
elfyskellat: Ubuntu, Studio and Xubuntu don't have gksu18:23
elfyknee jerk reaction to it whenever it was 18:23
skellatI was thinking outside the Ubuntu realm18:24
elfyI've no interest in that18:24

skellatThe lurking issue of systemd has to be remembered which can and does inform what we do across the Ubuntu flavors even when we're not the ones directly deciding18:25
elfythat'll be lurking for sometime I would think18:25
Unit193Yep.18:26
pleia2yeah18:26
Unit193Also, not sure what systemd has to do with gksu directly.18:26
elfyso - I'd say postpone this till next meeting18:27

pleia2#subtopic Make the Trello board publicly readable18:28
pleia2elfy: know anything about this one?18:29
elfyI've no issue with that - easily done, regardless of readability - only people ON the board can post afaik18:29
pleia2seems logical18:29
pleia2anyone have objections?18:29
elfynot me 18:29
elfyI'd vote perhaps - then move it to m/l - give it a week18:30
skellatGo for it especially after the static bluesabre got from DMB18:30
pleia2#subtopic Check whether the Blueprints and Trello board are in sync18:30
pleia2this one just sounds like just an action item someone should take18:30
elfyI can do that pleia2 18:30

Unit193Works.18:32
knomei'm here!18:32
skellatHeck, I can even see it when I'm not logged into trello so it is world readable18:32
Unit193knome: Welcome.18:32
elfyhi knome 18:32
pleia2cool18:32
pleia2#subtopic Other Business (and knome things)18:32
pleia2:D18:32
pleia2ok, anything else?18:32
knomegee, thanks :P18:33
pleia2heheh18:33
Unit193Perhaps document better how Xubuntu runs the meetings?18:33
pleia2am I doing that badly? :)18:33
elfypleia2: no but I suspect Unit193 know's he's up soon :p18:33
Unit193< pleia2> clear as mud  that kind of gave a hint.18:34
pleia2oh yeah18:34
pleia2I can draft up instructions and ask people to fix them18:34
GridCubethis is the first meeting im able to attend in about a year probably :(18:34
knomepleia2, be in touch with me on that.18:34
* skellat references the Debian-side bugs list for gksu for the purpose of consideration for discussion: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=gksu18:34
pleia2knome: will do18:35
pleia2#action pleia2 to draft up meeting chair instructions and seek feedback18:35

pleia2#info Debian-side bugs list for gksu for the purpose of consideration for discussion: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=gksu18:35
pleia2GridCube: in that case, have anything you wish to discuss? :)18:36
GridCubeas a side effect of not being able to properly know how i can contribute for not joining conversations, no, though i liked the fact that some of the questions where forwarded to the mailing list where i could add my two cents18:37
elfyGridCube: I'd agree that's been a good thing18:37
knomewe could start sending a mail that notifies about the meeting minutes being up18:37
Unit193Or, send the meeting minutes like several other teams do.18:38
pleia2maybe we add that to chair tasks18:38
knomeso the meeting results would get more exposure to public, and probably open some discussion18:38
GridCubetalking about that questions, the droping of xchat, i understand that we already droped it, but i would like that then we add a link on whishkers menu called "online help" that sends people to the web client for our channel on the main page18:38
knomenot all of the issues are something we want/need to discuss on the mailing list18:39
GridCubeknome, no, i understand18:39
Unit193Right, and I'd prefer not.18:39
knomeUnit193, prefer not what?18:39
Unit193Every discussion happing on the ML, seems overkill.18:39
knomeyeah.18:40
knomeGridCube, what we are doing is making an experiment on how people react on xchat being removed18:40
elfythen that goes against what we decided - if it's a meeting discussion it should go to m/l for those not able to be here18:40
knomeGridCube, if we decide it's the right way, we can then discuss if we want a menu item18:40
knomeelfy, i was referring to mostly "for information" items :)18:41
elfyok18:41
GridCubeknome, i see. i don't agree but i understand.18:41
knomebesides, i'm probably thinking a bit differently than you;18:41
pleia2well, I think meeting minutes being sent to the list should be more of a FYI thing, we still want threads started for important discussions18:41
knomenot ALL of the things we discuss in the meeting *must* be a meeting/team discussion18:41
pleia2and I think just a link in an email, like: we had a meeting, read about it here:18:42
elfypleia2: wfm18:42
GridCubesure, im not asking to move the meetings to the mailing list18:42
knomeit's just that the meeting is a good forum to discuss things and get it archived somewhat reasonably to logs that are much more accessible than irclogs.ubuntu.com ;)18:42
GridCubei just liked that some question where forwarded there where i could participate18:42
Unit193https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2014-August/038428.html - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2014-August/038422.html18:42
pleia2GridCube: nods18:42
pleia2we should keep doing that, it's good, we usually get feedback18:43
knomeGridCube, definitely. that's more related to voting than meetings itself.18:43
GridCubemmhm18:44
knomeextending the voting to the mailing list we can guarantee to either 1) get a quorum or 2) give enough time for everybody to be able to vote18:44
knome(even if technical quorum isn't met)18:45
pleia2yeah18:45
knomethat being said...18:45
knomethe strategy document doesn't talk about "expiring" from -team in vain18:46
knomei'm not saying there's anybody specific who shouldn't be part of the team, but please keep it in mind and judge with your own conscience whether you think you are warranted the membership18:46
knome(and thus, a vote in every vote, and making the quorum harder to reach in numbers)18:47
knomewe don't want to kick anybody out, but it's the best for all to have an up-to-date membership list :)18:47
elfyindeed - totally agree with that18:47
knomeand that said...18:48
knomewe're happy to have old contributors back18:48
knomeand they'll probably gain their membership faster since we already know them..18:48
pleia2knome: maybe an agenda item for next meeting?18:51
GridCubeknome, i understand18:51
knomepleia2, of what? :)18:51

Unit193Now is it tempting enough to make me quit playing with connman/cmst. :D19:38
elfyknome: if I had keyword testing - 99% of the time it would be me saying that no-one bothers testing 19:39
elfynot that I'm at all cynical 19:39
knomeelfy, heh. well, it's probably something that we are going to be affected by whether we tested it or not.. so might be better to at least call for testing at some point ;)19:39
elfyhttp://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker and http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker to see why I'm rather cynical19:40
knomei acknowledge the situation..19:40
elfyI call for testing - more or less no-one bothers19:40
knomeif only i had about 24 more hours in a day ;)19:41
elfy:)19:41
Unit193elfy: ...Do I need to add it?  I am at least running utopic, so while not "testing", I've got it and it's active.  Not sure how much it counts though, since it is me.. :/19:50
elfyUnit193: yea - add it please :)19:52
