knomeso, looked at refreshing the mirror list on the download page with lyz yesterday12:20
knomehttp://pad.ubuntu.com/xubuntu-mirrors12:20
knomethere's a draft email, and a proposal of the new mirror list12:20
knomecomments are welcome12:21
elfylooks ok to me - I assume you'll not be sending the xx :)12:24
knomehehe, nope :)12:24
elfy:)12:24
knomejust a placeholder for whoever sends the mail12:25
elfyimo should probably come from XPL 12:26
knomei don't think that's necessary, but we could CC simon if we want it to be more official12:29
elfyyep - not that bothered - was just a comment :)12:30
ochosifeel free to send it, i agree that it's not necessary that i do that12:30
knomeyeah12:30
ochosiotherwise i'd have to take care of all "official" business, and what would the other team leads be good for then :>12:30
knomeyeah12:30
knomeor other team members12:30
knomethat's exactly what i tried to communicate when i was XPL - we can/should share the workload12:31
ochosiyup12:31
knomeand people need to get privileges (with reponsibility of course)12:31
ochosihierarchies should never be in the way of getting stuff done12:31
knomeabsolutely12:32
knomeor drag getting them done12:32
elfyhere's something that people can share the workload for 12:33
elfyhttp://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker12:33
elfyon a slightly more serious note - can anyone think of a reason to bother calling next week?12:34
ochosiit's not a lot of work to do so and if we stop bothering now, why bother next time?12:35
ochosibasically you can reduce your workload there by recycling a previous email12:35
elfywell - that's probably the point I'm making - why bother next time either12:36
knomeelfy, this has been said n time before, but as i see it, it's just the LTS+1 release that is quieter12:42
knomeand i agree that we need a better, more structured and supported QA cycle for 15.0412:43
knomehow to achieve more QA results with that is a mystery to me, but we should work on it *somehow*12:43
knomethe incentives program is a good start12:44
elfyknome: LTS+1 might well be quieter - that's not a reason for people in -team to not bother - all that does is make whoever is QA lead feel worthless12:52
elfyand quite frankly atm it may well be someone else feeling that way after this cycle12:52
elfybecause if QA cannot rely on -team to test - then it's really all rather pointless12:53
knomeelfy, i'm not saying it's any reason, or that it can't create negative feelings12:53
knomewhile i think -team should be there to test if it's needed, i'd just so much rather would change that sentence to "if QA cannot rely on the community testing"12:54
elfysorry - don't agree12:54
knomebecause really, the -team already does this and that and in the long run, it's unsustainable to rely on them doing the testing as well12:55
knomenote, i'm not saying -team shouldn't do any testing at all12:55
elfyit's team that puts it together and says "Hey, look what we've got for everyone" 12:55
knomejust that they shouldn't be the ones doing the heavy lifting12:55
elfyknome: from where I stand it should be team + everyone else12:55
elfy30 minutes at a milestone12:56
knomesure, team should be the group that does the preliminary testing12:56
knomebut the team cannot conduct enough testing to be "trustworthy"12:56
elfythat isn't the point12:56
knomeand what i mean with that is that if 10 people test an OS and it works with them, it's by no means enough to know that there aren't critical bugs12:57
elfyand if it is the point then we should not mark 14.10 as ready for release as it's been tested by 3 or 4 people as far as I can tell12:57
knomei know it's not the main point, but it's something that we have to keep in mind12:57
knomeelfy, that's fair to say.12:57
knomeelfy, otoh, other flavors (or ubuntu desktop!) aren't tested by many more people (at least generally, i don't have the exact statistics for this cycle)12:58
knomeelfy, what's the level of testing you would expect from team?13:00
knomeelfy, one test per milestone per member?13:00
knomeelfy, and would that be a reason to expire members from the -team?13:01
knomei'm asking this because if we want to create any (even loose) rules, we have to have some kind of goal in our head13:02
elfyubuntu desktop has the full weight of all the auto testing and a bunch of people working on it 13:02
elfynot sure why you'd include that - and tbh I don't care much about other flavours13:03
knomethat's a great asset, but even if we had the automated testing, we'd still need to do manual tests13:03
knomei'm just doing a comparison13:03
elfyand as far as team is concerned - if I've actually had to go out of my way to ask team seperately - then to not do so is just ignoring me 13:03
elfywhich is what happened13:04
knomeof course it's not great to compare with other products that are as "badly" tested, but it proves something13:04
knomebut what's the level of testing we are expecting from the team?13:04
elfywhen asked is probably a good place to start 13:04
knomeone test when asked?13:04
knomeor fill in the blanks when asked?13:05
elfywell I've tried both 13:05
elfygot the same result13:06
knomeno, i mean when you ask the team to test13:06
knomewhat do you expect them to do? run a test per person? or run all the tests that are still not done?13:06
elfyrun at least one13:06
knomeor run as many tests as they can?13:06
elfyand report things if they have - we've got one I saw saying they'd installed \o/ 13:07
elfynot reporting it though13:07
knomethat's a different problem, and with that i completely agree13:08
elfyI'll say more at the beginning of next cycle probably 13:08

GridCube:D 97% of the spanish translatio of docs is done, the last 20 lines need review13:10
GridCube:)13:10
slickymasterWorkgrate work GridCube, thanks for that13:13
bluesabreochosi: re https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+bug/137971013:18
ubottuUbuntu bug 1379710 in LightDM GTK+ Greeter "Guest login not available with hide-users" [Undecided,New]13:18
bluesabreMaybe we can consider adding a "Guest Login" button on the left or something?13:18
elfybluesabre: why is that when you add some package that it just gets added to the bottom of whatever sub-menu it ends up in?13:20
knomeelfy, you might want to join the pad :)13:20
bluesabrelimitation of xdg menus13:21
bluesabreif you choose a specific order, it keeps that and everything gets appended13:21
elfyknome: I'm too depressed about the whole thing to join anything but a band of travelling minstrels wandering the wilds of Siberia wearing only a loin cloth ... 13:21
knomebluesabre, but since you can move it manually, shouldn't menulibre take care about that?13:21
elfybluesabre: ok - thanks 13:21
bluesabreI'm going to fix that a bit in the next menulibre13:21
bluesabreknome: menulibre only runs when menulibre is running :)13:22
knomeoh13:22
knome:P13:22
knomeelfy, i'm honestly trying to help with it, but sure, take your time13:22
elfybluesabre: I never really noticed before - just added Abiword back and did notice - it not being at the top :)13:22
elfyknome: I know :)13:22
bluesabreelfy: the menulibre in v is going to do several things better, and have a nice revert menu ;)13:22
knomeelfy, but if you can look at it sometime before the V cycle, that'd be nice :)13:22
elfyoooh - that sounds nice bluesabre :)13:23
knomei think there are still a few bugs open .P13:23
bluesabreknome: yeah, mr bug-report-is-really-a-feature-request13:23
bluesabre:P13:23
knomebluesabre, where do you want the feature requests then :P13:24
GridCubeslickymaster, there where other documents to translate right?13:24
bluesabredunno, probably not a better place unless I use a wiki13:24
bluesabreso keep at it13:24
elfycigarette boxes perhaps - back of :)13:24
knomeat least the bug tracker supports wishlist as an importance..13:24

knosyshello14:21
elfyhi knosys 14:23
knosyshi! i am joining by trying to add some Spanish translations for Xubuntu documentation, if i can help you guys in whatever just ask and i will be happy helping in what i can14:28
slickymasterWorkknosys, as I told you before on -offtopic, just pick one from http://pastebin.com/sfGcRQ9B, and start translating14:30
knosysYes, I am on that. Im downloading documentation and getting familiarized with how user's post their suggestions14:32
knomeknosys, you don't need to download the documentation to do translations14:35
knomeknosys, or to look at it – it's shipped with every xubuntu release14:35
knomeapart from some small changes, the body of text is exactly the same in 14.04 than what it will be oin 14.1014:36
knosysOh then i will just switch my OS language14:40
knome...what exactly are you looking for in the documentation?14:44
knomebbl14:49
knosysWell, there are pieces of translation that i would like to see more in detail. For example. "rm" . And thats all. So i ask myself: 'rm' what? The command? a description? What?14:53
knosysBut that is all info i see, and later on the suggestions for translation's that users have submited14:54
slickymasterWorkknosys, I would advise you to go to the document as is now and see the line for yourself in its context14:56
knosysThats it slickymasterWork 14:57
slickymasterWork:)14:58
ochosibluesabre: yeah, i guess we'd have to add an extra button or something22:52
