[13:59] <belkinsa> Who is all for the Ubuntu Leadership Mentoring Planning meeting?
[14:01] <belkinsa> Going once.
[14:01] <belkinsa> Twice.
[14:02] <belkinsa> Thrice.
[14:03] <belkinsa> Anyways the roadmap is on this pad here: http://pad.ubuntu.com/LeadershipMentoringRoadmap
[14:04] <belkinsa> And I think we should use Linux Padawan (http://linuxpadawan.net/) for mentoring.  Since it already there and we can make a sub-team for leadership mentoring there.
[14:06] <belkinsa> If so, we should set up guidelines on how we will be doing this.  And I think we are going to this via mailing-list since no one is here.  Or may the pad.
[14:07] <belkinsa> I will end the meeting here and move this to the mailing list.

[21:59] <Sick_Rimmit> Hello everyone
[21:59] <Riddell> hi Sick_Rimmit
[22:00] <yofel> o/
[22:00] <lordievader> Hey Sick_Rimmit
[22:00]  * Sick_Rimmit waves
[22:00] <Riddell> ping Mamarok, yofel, shadeslayer, ScottK, valorie: kubuntu council meeting for Sick_Rimmit
[22:01] <Riddell> who's all here?
[22:01]  * Mamarok waves
[22:01] <shadeslayer> moi
[22:01]  * ovidiu-florin joins in
[22:01] <ovidiu-florin> Sick_Rimmit: may I recommend that you put here your wiki page link?
[22:01] <Sick_Rimmit> Sure one moment
[22:01] <Riddell> yep, do introduce yourself and show us your wiki page
[22:01] <shadeslayer> if I drop off, give me a minute to reconnect
[22:02] <shadeslayer> I'm running without nm
[22:02] <Sick_Rimmit> I have prepared this page on the Wiki
[22:02] <Sick_Rimmit> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RickTimmis
[22:02] <Sick_Rimmit> So my name is Rick Timmis aka Sick Rimmit
[22:03] <Riddell> "I am a friendly guy" that's a good start, we're a friendly operating system community :)
[22:03] <ovidiu-florin> Kubuntu - "Friendly computing"
[22:04] <Riddell> Sick_Rimmit: "KDE on LTSP" how well does ltsp work with kde?
[22:04] <Sick_Rimmit> I am most proud of the work I did with Super Tramp
[22:04] <Sick_Rimmit> We ran load tests on that, with the local LUG
[22:04] <Sick_Rimmit> 50 VNC Sessions running KDE
[22:05] <Sick_Rimmit> On a single IBM Xeon server running RedHat 7
[22:05] <Sick_Rimmit> It worked really well
[22:05] <Sick_Rimmit> In production that same server was running 35 KDE Desktops over X ( A la LTSP )
[22:05] <shadeslayer> ooh
[22:06] <Sick_Rimmit> We used Mini ITX boxes for the clients
[22:06] <shadeslayer> Sick_Rimmit: did you blog about it
[22:06] <shadeslayer> also, was /home local or on the IBM?
[22:06] <Sick_Rimmit> The google links will give you the low down
[22:06] <Riddell> I expect this was a while ago
[22:06] <Sick_Rimmit> I was interviewed in the US for that, and also Linux Format too
[22:07] <Sick_Rimmit> Yes 2002
[22:07] <Riddell> back before Kubuntu existed
[22:07] <Riddell> (Kubuntu 10th anniversary this april folks)
[22:07] <Sick_Rimmit> I believe it was the first 100% Open Source Enterprise deployment in the UK
[22:07] <Sick_Rimmit> We ran the whole company on FLOSS
[22:07] <shadeslayer> Riddell: \o/ we should throw a parteh
[22:07] <Sick_Rimmit> As I said in the press Lock n Stock from Desktop to Datacentre
[22:08] <shadeslayer> Sick_Rimmit: sweet :D
[22:08] <Riddell> shadeslayer: party is at FOSDEM at the end of the month, I hear some people aren't coming
[22:08] <shadeslayer> but 10th anniversary is in April
[22:08] <Sick_Rimmit> We then deployed a 4 site mixed FAT and LTSP Setup with 40+ workstations
[22:08] <shadeslayer> u rob me of parteh's
[22:08] <Riddell> shadeslayer: rounding errors
[22:08] <Sick_Rimmit> For that implementation we used one of the first versions of Kubuntu Yay!
[22:08] <shadeslayer> You should get those checked
[22:09] <Riddell> ooh excellent
[22:09] <shadeslayer> ^^
[22:09] <Riddell> hi sgclark
[22:09] <Sick_Rimmit> Hi sgclark
[22:09] <shadeslayer> Sick_Rimmit: what do you think we can improve in Kubuntu for the next cycle?
[22:10] <shadeslayer> random thoughts welcome
[22:10] <sgclark> hiyas
[22:10] <Riddell> Sick_Rimmit: what do you think your more significant and sustained contributions to kubuntu are?
[22:10] <Sick_Rimmit> I feel we need to work on Stability and testing
[22:10] <Sick_Rimmit> Why stability, because
[22:11] <Sick_Rimmit> On the Super Tramp LTSP system, we ran 35 desktops and the server with 100% uptime for 1034 days
[22:11] <Sick_Rimmit> No shutdowns no reboots
[22:11] <Sick_Rimmit> Somewhere I have a screenshot of that
[22:11] <Sick_Rimmit> We don't have that level of stability anymore I don't believe
[22:12] <shadeslayer> Sick_Rimmit: ok, with the CI going, and a weekly ISO with Plasma 5, how do you think we can improve the testing ?
[22:12] <yofel> not really, no. At least not without performance regressions after some time
[22:12] <Sick_Rimmit> My contribution to most significan contribution to Kubuntu is advocay and promotion
[22:12] <Sick_Rimmit> I have been using KDE for 15 years
[22:13] <Sick_Rimmit> Shooting my mouth of about it for about the same
[22:13] <Sick_Rimmit> I had a fling with Gentoo for a while, but it still KDE
[22:13] <Sick_Rimmit> Oh and RedHat, SuSe, then Debian
[22:13] <Sick_Rimmit> Always with KDE
[22:14] <Sick_Rimmit> Unless its a server then  I prefer no desktop
[22:14] <Riddell> this is no bad thing, I've been meaning to do a distro flitation day for a while
[22:14] <Sick_Rimmit> shadeslayer: Oh Boy!
[22:14] <Riddell> sometime I'll find out whatever makes people use arch linux
[22:14] <Sick_Rimmit> I don;t have my head around the Kubuntu-CI thing at all
[22:15] <shadeslayer> I'm sure we can fix that : tl;dr build things from git, so we can complain that d_ed breaks things
[22:15] <Sick_Rimmit> At work we're just setting up a similar system, and I have introduced a few colleagues to Kubuntu-CI
[22:15] <Sick_Rimmit> I gave Proteus_spark a tour via IRC just last week
[22:15] <Riddell> I'm sure sitter would accept payment for consultancy :)
[22:15] <Sick_Rimmit> But I don't have a clue how it's all working
[22:16] <Sick_Rimmit> Well I've been trying to pursuade sgclark in that direction, I think at some point there might be some money on the table
[22:16] <shadeslayer> ( where payment = wine )
[22:16] <Sick_Rimmit> although that is not my decision
[22:17] <sgclark> I have nothing to do with kubuntu-ci, I am working on KDE
[22:17] <Sick_Rimmit> I have a Micro brewery and country winery here at home, so Wine I can do :-)
[22:17] <shadeslayer> no ... wait. .. what have I done /o\
[22:17] <Sick_Rimmit> sgclark: I know, I know but you have setup the CI integration environment to build and test
[22:18] <Sick_Rimmit> which is what we are trying to do at WiFiSPARK
[22:18] <Riddell> Sick_Rimmit: how would you like to help the kubuntu community in the future?
[22:18] <shadeslayer> Can't have sitter knowing that Sick_Rimmit runs a brewery
[22:18] <Sick_Rimmit> Well...
[22:18] <Sick_Rimmit> I like mucking around in the Kubuntu-Bugs, and now that I've got a little experience with packaging
[22:19] <Sick_Rimmit> I can test, triage, and sometime even fix
[22:19] <yofel> shadeslayer: well, we can give Sick_Rimmit membership so he can bribe harald to do stuff :P
[22:19] <Sick_Rimmit> I like doing that.
[22:19] <Mamarok> mh, microbrewery, what type of beer?
[22:19] <Sick_Rimmit> Right now, I am trying to get Sound rending fixed in Kdenlive
[22:19] <shadeslayer> yofel: he already does stuff, if you give him alcohol, he'll just start ranting about perl and launchpad and python
[22:19] <shadeslayer> instead of doing stuff
[22:19] <Sick_Rimmit> I think I might get that fixed and packaged pretty soon
[22:20] <Mamarok> shadeslayer: indeed, don't give him more :)
[22:20] <yofel> shadeslayer: and here I thought he converted wine into code :O
[22:20] <Sick_Rimmit> Mamarok: Ales and Porters
[22:20] <shadeslayer> yofel: no, wrong, he converts wine into rants :O
[22:20] <Mamarok> Sick_Rimmit: ++ for that :)
[22:20] <Riddell> this feels like it's getting off topic
[22:20] <Riddell> any more questions about kubuntu before we vote?
[22:20]  * shadeslayer is satisfied :D
[22:20]  * Mamarok too
[22:21] <Riddell> council: vote!
[22:21] <yofel> I'm happy with is wiki and what I've seen in the past
[22:21] <Riddell> +1 from me for advocacy love and a desire to help out development
[22:21] <sgclark> +1 FROM ME, THO i AM NOT COUNCIL HEH
[22:22] <Mamarok> ditto, quite impressed with all the work Rick has done so far, and great to hear he is planing to continue :)
[22:22] <sgclark> wow
[22:22] <sgclark> oops
[22:22] <Mamarok> so +1 from me
[22:22] <shadeslayer> +1 from me ,
[22:22] <Riddell> I also had a +1 from ScottK who can't be here due to timezones
[22:22] <yofel> +1 for longtime contributions, doing amazing promotion work and being a really nice and useful fellow overall ;)
[22:22] <Riddell> that's a majority as I count it
[22:22] <Riddell> welcome in Sick_Rimmit
[22:22] <shadeslayer> Awesome and sustained contributions to Kubuntu, I see alot more potential, we should make him responsible for advocacy and stuff :D
[22:22] <shadeslayer> \o/
[22:23] <Sick_Rimmit> Bless you golks, I am really happy. Thank you
[22:23] <Riddell> well first he needs to sort out these posters for fosdem
[22:23] <yofel> valorie gave a +1 on the wiki too
[22:23] <lordievader> Congratulations Sick_Rimmit :D
[22:23] <Mamarok> welcome and contratulations opn membership, Sick_Rimmit
[22:23] <sgclark> congratulations :)
[22:23] <Mamarok> about time, you should have applied years ago :)
[22:23] <shadeslayer> ^^
[22:23] <ovidiu-florin> Welcome Sick_Rimmit
[22:23]  * Sick_Rimmit grins wildly, and feels like dancing
[22:24]  * Mamarok makes some room and gets the music
[22:24] <Riddell> Sick_Rimmit: added rick-timmis to ~kubuntu-members, you should be able to add any blogs you have to planet ubuntu and your rick-timmis@kubuntu e-mail should forward to whatever you have in launchpad within 24 hours
[22:24] <Riddell> any other business while we're all here?
[22:24] <Sick_Rimmit> Riddell: Most grateful, Thank You
[22:25] <Riddell> I've a good feeling about vivid now that planet 5.2 is coming into shape, but I'm feeling quite overloaded with the packaging
[22:25] <Mamarok> planet? you mean plasma I think :)
[22:25] <shadeslayer> hmm
[22:25] <sgclark> Riddell: miss me ? :)
[22:25] <shadeslayer> I should blog about my Debian CI
[22:25] <Riddell> sgclark: totally
[22:26] <shadeslayer> who wants to be my guinea pig tester btw
[22:26] <shadeslayer> before I release it
[22:26] <Riddell> sgclark: but hopefully you can build armhf tests into kde ci so I don't have to upload calligra 6 times in a day
[22:26] <shadeslayer> heh
[22:26] <sgclark> Riddell: kde ci is starting to come together, hope to have time soon, tho I need to find a paying gig soon..
[22:26] <yofel> maybe I'll have some time later in teh week for plasma, but I'm a bit overloaded with life currently :/
[22:26] <Riddell> hmm, 7th upload failed https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calligra/1:2.8.90-0ubuntu8
[22:27] <sgclark> Riddell: I don't think they even have armhf to build on
[22:27] <shadeslayer> Riddell: maybe start cross compiling locally?
[22:27] <Riddell> oh other interesting gossip old kubuntu member jonathan the echidna thomas says on facebook he's working for mitre, so maybe we can get cve numbers from him
[22:27] <shadeslayer> sgclark: cross compilation should work
[22:27] <sgclark> ok
[22:27] <yofel> lets see if qemu can build that
[22:27] <shadeslayer> Riddell: ah true indeed
[22:27] <shadeslayer> yofel: uh, do you still need qemu even if you have the armhf toolchain?
[22:28] <yofel> yofel: maybe not, but I don't have that installed
[22:28] <yofel> and lets move back to -devel
[22:28] <ovidiu-florin> should we move this back to #kubuntu-devel?
[22:28] <Sick_Rimmit> Thank you everyone..
[22:29] <ovidiu-florin> Greeat to have you Sick_Rimmit
[22:29] <Sick_Rimmit> ovidiu-florin: Thank you
[22:30] <Sick_Rimmit> ovidiu-florin: Are you going to be a FOSDEM ?
[22:30] <ovidiu-florin> Sick_Rimmit: I have to bring your T-shirts don't I?
[22:30] <ovidiu-florin> :P
[22:30] <Sick_Rimmit> ovidiu-florin: Wonderful, then perhaps I can buy you a beer
[22:30] <ovidiu-florin> ;)
[22:31] <ovidiu-florin> see you there
[22:31] <Sick_Rimmit> Yes, I am really looking forward to it
[22:32] <lordievader> Yayy, more KDE people at FOSDEM :)
