robru* CI Train15:11
robru  - Implemented 'dirty silo' notification -- when one silo is published/merged, other silos containing conflicting packages are marked dirty so that people know not to QA them until they've been rebuilt15:11
robru  - Rewrote migration job from scratch with 100% test coverage, bringing the overall total test coverage up from 85% to 90%15:11
robru  - various tweaks and improvements in error reporting, logging, pylint cleanups15:11
robru  - significantly improved the clarity of the error message for the case when you try to publish a silo that contains a package that hasn't been built yet.15:11
robru  - cleaned up the code that generates package diffs (code used to call debdiff 3 different times 3 different ways, now it just calls it once and processes the output 3 different ways as necessary)15:11
robru* lp:cupstream2distro-config15:11
robru  - dropped some transitional flags that haven't been used in nearly a year, shrinking the size of the entire project by 1/6th15:11

slangasekrobru: dirty silo notifications> great!  btw, I guess there's still nothing that prevents two conflicting silos being submitted to QA in parallel, even though only one of these will be published?15:13

doko- migrations, vivid ftbfs fixes, ...15:14
doko- more GCC 5 work15:14
slangasekcaribou: oh yes, failing to read my list (or scrollback) sorry15:14
robruslangasek: indeed, nothing is in place to stop two built silos from going to QA in parallel; QA will have to just know not to QA the same package in two different silos. but once one gets published the other is immediately marked dirty15:14
caribouslangasek: np15:15
robruslangasek: and the transitional flags were 'daily_release: False' and 'use_stack_ppa: False', ancient stuff from way way back when ci train was first brought online.15:15
slangasekrobru: interesting, thanks15:15

dholbachah ok17:08
dholbachlooks like you're well covered there :)17:08
mhall119Riddell: how have things gone coordinating Qt releases in 15.04 between KDE's and Unity's needs?17:09
Riddellmhall119: that seems to have gone well, Mirv and mitya57 are on #k-d and we chat about updates, they're pleasingly responsive17:10
mhall119great17:10
mhall119how about Wayland integration, is Plasma 5 going to use it?17:11
Riddellit will but probably not for the next LTS17:11
dholbachdo you have a special build for it or something like that for testers or curious folks?17:12
Riddellno it's still in development upstream, nothing very usable yet17:12
Riddellbut we do have kci17:12
Riddellkubuntu continuous integration17:12
Riddellthat builds packages every day17:12
Riddelland weekly ISOs from it17:12
dholbachoh nice... what happens in kci?17:12
Riddellso Plasma and other KDE developers can always test the latest and greatest17:12
dholbachwhat do you build and/or test there?17:12
shadeslayerdholbach: more or less all of Plasma/ KF5 and some apps17:13
shadeslayerdholbach: all of these projects are built http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-kde/ci-tooling.git/tree/data/projects.json17:13
shadeslayer( except the custom_ci bits )17:13
Riddellwe are also sharing out packaging repositories with Debian now17:13
dholbachdoes any gatekeeping happening there as well?17:13
Riddellso much less duplicate work all around17:13
dholbachlike "build it, run tests, if they fail, your change won't get in"?17:14
Riddellgatekeeping?17:14
shadeslayerdholbach: some what, sitter is working on keeping a eye and fixes things as they break17:14
dholbachok, so Sitter is the gatekeeper, I see :)17:14
shadeslayerI still need to write some code to run autotests separately ( only in build tests are run at the moment )17:14
shadeslayermore or less :P17:15
dholbachhow do you feel Kubuntu is doing community wise? did you approve some new members recently?17:15
shadeslayerwe are in #kubuntu-ci if you want to look at colored jenkins output :P17:15
dholbachshadeslayer, I'm usually happy enough if I *don't* get mail or any notification of jenkins :-P17:16
shadeslayer;)17:16
Riddellthe community is doing ok, we had 1 new member this year and plenty of people hang around.  it's not as active as it used to be and is probably overly dependent on me17:17
dholbachbut yeah, I think it's absolutely fantastic that you're doing a lot in the CI world - it pays off so quickly17:17
shadeslayerI don't think not having new people is a bad sign per se, I've had people IM me and send me messages on Forums saying that they love Kubuntu17:17
dholbachRiddell, do you feel there are a lot of things which only you can do in the project?17:18
shadeslayerso, the developer community is most certainly becoming a bit stale :(17:18
Riddelloh sure the user community are lovely and not a day goes by when I don't get people excited about 15.0417:19
dholbachshadeslayer, sure... the people who actually decide to get involved, read the docs and take the plunge are very much the tip of the iceberg of all *ubuntu lovers17:19
shadeslayer*nod*17:19
RiddellI don't think there's anything only I can do, it's just a question of hours17:19
mhall119where do you think we can reach new potential Kubuntu developers? From the rest of the Ubuntu community, or from upstream KDE community?17:19
Riddellkubuntu users probably17:20
shadeslayerI agree17:20
mhall119are there any initiatives to convert users into developers/contributors?17:21
Riddellonly that I grab people whenever they show interest and offer them tutorial and handholding17:21
mhall119So the Ubuntu Online Summit is coming up soon, I know Kubuntu hasn't used it much for planning, but it might be a good time and place to host instructional sessions for this purpose17:22
mhall119kind of a "How to become a Kubuntu Developer"17:22
Riddellpossibly, I always find UOS hard to motivate myself by, we have real life meetings which work an aweful lot better17:23
* mhall119 is going to be looking for some Kubuntu members to be track leads again too17:23
sgclarkheh17:23
sgclarkI failed miserably at that17:23
mhall119Riddell: understood, the Kubuntu sessions in the last two UOSes seemed very popular though17:23
mhall119sgclark: I'm going to try and recruit you again, so I wouldn't say that :)17:24

Mamaroksorry, I had to finish some urgent work, but am reading now17:27
* mhall119 just heard Riddell voluntold17:27
dholbachthat might also be a good opportunity to recruit new kubuntu folks :)17:27
ovidiu-florindholbach: in general17:27
ovidiu-florindholbach: both actually17:28
dholbachovidiu-florin, this meeting is an opportunity for the Kubuntu Council and Community Council to catch up17:28
dholbachovidiu-florin, we do this once a cycle to see how things are going17:28
dholbachthe Q&A session mhall119 and I mentioned happens once a week on http://ubuntuonair.com/17:28
dholbachusually we have lots of people from ubuntu social media channels who ask all kinds of questions17:28
dholbachand it's nice to have guests there who can show off something17:29
dholbachor answer questions in their area of expertise17:29
shadeslayerI have to go for spanish class, hasta luego :)17:29
dholbachshadeslayer, enjoy! :)17:29
Mamarok:)17:30
* Mamarok wonders why he doesn't learn Catalan instead...17:30
dholbachI'll drop Riddell and shadeslayer a mail about the Q&A and we can have a look at the calendar together17:30
dholbachdoes anyone have any more questions?17:30
* Riddell does17:31
dholbachshoot17:31
ovidiu-florinwith a 9 mm17:31
Riddellhttp://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/intellectual-property-policy still says "Otherwise you... will need to recompile the source code to create your own binaries." this is untrue and disrespectful to the copyright owners, who are Ubuntu's upstream communities17:31
RiddellI have been hilighting this for over a year and the community council has done nothing about it. It is hurting Kubuntu development. The communitiy council needs to make a firm statement that this is untrue and that in the spirit of free software they welcome derivatives.17:31
mhall119we certainly haven't done nothing17:32
mhall119in fact, it's consumed quite a bit of our time and efforts over the same year17:32
czajkowskiRiddell: to be clear we've raised it to canonical legal17:32
* ovidiu-florin has a question as well17:32
Riddellczajkowski: that doesn't seem to be getting anywhere, time to just take a stand17:32
dholbachWhere do you see Kubuntu development hurt?17:32
mhall119Riddell: can you go into detail about how it is hurting Kubuntu development?17:32
czajkowskiand from there it;s kinda hit a wall  we are talking to rickspencer in the coming weeks and will ask for it to be pushed again17:33
Riddelldholbach: shadeslayer used to be working full time on Kubuntu, now he's not17:33
Riddellczajkowski: best stop giving in to their stalling and just make a statement17:33
czajkowskiRiddell: it's not about taking a stand , it's about getting it corrected/ cleared up for all parties.17:33
dholbachRiddell, I'm not sure I understand17:33
czajkowskiRiddell: that's not how the CC operates.17:33
dholbachRiddell, is this an immediate effect of Ubuntu trademarks?17:33
Riddelldholbach: is what?17:33
mhall119shadeslayer: has the trademark/ip question caused you problems with your employment?17:34
czajkowskiRiddell: can you give us an example where this has stopped someone from contributing to Kubuntu.17:34
dholbachRiddell, shadeslayer working fulltime on Kubuntu17:34
Riddellshadeslayer has gone17:34
dholbachI'm not quite sure I follow17:34
Mamarokhe just left for his Spanish lesson17:34
Riddellczajkowski: I refer the honourable lady to the answer I gave some moments ago17:34
Riddelldholbach: what don't you follow?17:34
mhall119ok, we can follow up with him via email17:34
Riddellwhy not just deal with the problem rather than the symptoms?17:34
Mamarokwhy taking this to mail, can't this be cleared here? Riddell can exmplain17:35
mhall119Riddell: the CC has limited ability to "just deal with the problem"17:35
* ogra_ always thought this stanza only refers to out of archive builds ... which kubuntu definitely doesnt fall under17:35
dholbachRiddell, you said the policy hurts kubuntu development, then you mention Rohan not working on Kubuntu fulltime any more - I was just wondering if the two were connected17:35
Riddellmhall119: make a public statement saying it is untrue and irrelevent17:35
mhall119Mamarok: Riddell: is shadeslayer okay with you going into detail about his employment situation?17:35
Riddelldholbach: yes they are17:35
dholbachok, I'm afraid I don't understand17:36
mhall119Riddell: the CC is not qualified to make legal statements like that, and even if we were they would have no legal authority as we do not own the IP in question17:36
Riddellmhall119: that's irrelevent.  canonical doesn't own the copyrights either. that's the whole point.17:36
Riddelldholbach: what don't you understand?17:36
dholbachthe connections17:36
dholbachthe connection17:36
mhall119Riddell: they are the ones making the claim, so again the CC doesn't have any standing to make claims one way or the other17:37
Riddelldholbach: blue systems is worried that canonical will want to restrict derivates and so shadeslayer got moved to other tasks17:37
mhall119Riddell: has Blue Systems contacted Canonical about this?17:37
Riddellmhall119: yes it does, it is the ubuntu council, it can make a claim on ubuntu's behalf17:37
dholbachwhere are derivatives restricted?17:37
elfysorry - was late getting away - hi Kubuntu people17:37
dholbachwe all live in the same archive17:37
dholbach#chair elfy17:37
meetingologyCurrent chairs: cprofitt czajkowski dholbach elfy mhall119 pleia217:37
mhall119IIRC, Mint was given a very favorable agreement to clear this up17:37
czajkowskiRiddell: the CC can't control what tasks shadeslayer is moved onto.17:37
Riddelldholbach: 17:31 < Riddell> http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/intellectual-property-policy still says "Otherwise you... will need to recompile the source code to create your own binaries." this is untrue and  disrespectful to the copyright owners, who are Ubuntu's upstream communities17:38
Riddellczajkowski: no but it can address the symptoms17:38
Riddellmhall119: mint did not have to make an agreement at all17:38
dholbachright, I read that the first time - I might need more detail to understand the connection between all of this17:38
czajkowskiRiddell: nobody outside of their own employment can deal with that tbh let alone the CC17:38
Riddelldholbach: if canonical claims the packages in the archive are not infact free software and are restricted in use then people will not want to work with them17:39
Riddellczajkowski: you could deal with the reasons for it17:39
RiddellI'm astonished that the CC doesn't understand the basics of free software or how it can be harmed by claims that our software is not Free17:40
dholbachthey are free software, no doubt about that - IANAL, but all Canonical asks for is a conversation, if you intend to use the Ubuntu trademark commercially and ship Ubuntu in a modified sense17:40
pleia2Riddell: you're being really unfair to us (and I think you know that)17:40
mhall119Riddell: the CC has been dealing with is, and are continuing to do so. If you are okay with us doing what we feel is best for Ubuntu we will keep doing that. But it means you'll have to accept what we end us doing.17:40
dholbachbut as Kubuntu is a derivative and lives in the same archive.......... where's the problem?17:40
pleia2we've worked for over a year on this, more than any other topic, but our influence over Canonical is limited17:41
czajkowskiRiddell: we have spent a lot of time on this and spent time raising this to the legal dept in canonical17:41
dholbachUbuntu is free software17:41
Laneywhat if Blue Systems wants to ship a modified version of Kubuntu?17:41
Riddelldholbach: kubuntu is not a derivative.  we do care about our derivatives and this harms them.17:41
Riddellpleia2: so make a public statement that it is untrue17:41
Laneyor if $random_person does for that matter17:41
dholbachRiddell, sorry, a flavour then17:41
Laneythis clause says that they have to recompile it all17:41
Riddellczajkowski: so time to give up on the canonical legal dept, they have been stalling for a year, enough already17:42
RiddellLaney: yes.  that is not true and it is dangerous.17:42
mhall119Laney: or work within the archives as Kubuntudoes17:42
czajkowskiRiddell: you keep asking us to make a statement and we've already said we wont do that not until we hear from Canonical leagal on the matter17:42
Riddellczajkowski: ok, see you in another year then.17:42
Riddellmhall119: or not.  it's their choice.  that's free software.17:42
czajkowskiRiddell: you're really making this harder than needs be, you'd swear the CC sit around doing nothing17:43
czajkowskiwe've put a lot of effort into this17:43
czajkowskiand yes it hasn't been easy17:43
Riddellczajkowski: what has changed in the last year?17:43
czajkowskinor have we gotten to the bottom of it yet17:43
czajkowskibut we are at least trying17:43
mhall119Riddell: do you want the CC do handle this, or do you want the CC to just come to a specific conclusion that you've already come to?17:43
Mamarokmayber it's the fact that we got no feedback on it so far, and the legal departement obviously doesn't want to do anything about it17:44
Riddellmhall119: I want the CC to give up on canonical legal who are clearly not interested in fixing it and make a statement that it is untrue.17:44
* ovidiu-florin has a question as well, please don't forget17:44
mhall119Riddell: and if the CC doesn't agree with that statement?17:44
cprofittRiddell: In order to make a public statement on a legal matter the CC would have to have a legal expert familiar with international law and the laws of several countries. I do not feel qualified to make any such public statement. I also would like to say that public thrashing about on the topic does not help the situation either.17:44
Riddellcprofitt: that's just making excuses17:44
Mamarokcprofitt: doesn't affect international law, it affects the Free Software licenses IMHO, but IANAL17:45
Riddellmhall119: than make one you do agree on, but don't let someone claim Ubuntu is not Free software17:45
Riddellanyway this is going nowhere again, let's move on17:45
mhall119Mamarok: how that license is applied depends to a large extent on the law in the place it is tried17:45
cprofittRiddell: I do not see it as an excuse Riddell, but I would like to ask you to be more respectful of the people trying to sort through the issue.17:46
dholbachThis is a trademarks/IP issue and you know that Canonical has to be protective of the trademarks - that the success of Ubuntu and Canonical are connected. Kubuntu has lots of freedoms, like everyone else who works in the archive. When modified versions of *Ubuntu are still called *Ubuntu, that can be a problem. It'll be hard to get a "carte blanche" in this area.17:46
dholbachOr are we talking about a different issue?17:46
Riddelldholbach: it's a copyright issue17:47
cprofittWe are trying to do what is right through the channels we have. Just because I have not gotten a timely response I will not make statements I can not make in good faith.17:47
Riddellcprofitt: ok, see you next year.17:47
mhall119Riddell: if Blue Systems or shadeslayer have been specifically impacted by this issue, I would encourage them to talk directly to the CC also so that we can have that additional information to take to Canonical legal17:47
elfyI think that we should move on and see what ovidiu-florin has - we've also got the Membership Board17:47
dholbachright17:47
cprofittelfy: I agree17:47
* ovidiu-florin is affraid to ask17:48
mhall119ovidiu-florin: don't be :)17:48
ovidiu-florincan I ask here/now about the Ubuntu community fund?17:48
cprofittRiddell: Thanks for your understanding and patience.17:48
dholbachovidiu-florin, what's your question?17:48
mhall119ovidiu-florin: you can, but we are scheduling a meeting to get more information from Canonical about it, so we may not be able to answer everything today17:48
elfyovidiu-florin: we're actually looking into that currently - we have a meeting later17:49
ovidiu-florinI'm not asking about aproval for my request17:49
ovidiu-florinI want to ask abouot an issue that I understand from Riddell that there's a topic somewhere about this17:49
dholbachcan you be more specific?17:49
* ovidiu-florin is typing17:50
ovidiu-florinWhy can't we apply for funds for expences that we already had? For the many cases when we can't forsee what expenses we will have?17:50
cprofittovidiu-florin: there is a topic that Riddell has raised. I am not sure we can call it an issue yet, but there may be one. We are researching that and discussing with the Canonical Community team.17:50
mhall119ovidiu-florin: so that's more of a question for the Community Team, but I can answer it17:51
ovidiu-florinYou can't always predict the costs for a trip, or an event17:51
elfyovidiu-florin: that is the issue that we're currently sorting out - we'll not be able to do anything now17:51
dholbachJust estimate.17:51
elfyand Riddell knows that we're looking into it17:51
dholbachwe don't want people to be in a position where they just assume "oh, this'll be paid for"17:51
dholbachand then end up having to pay because of misunderstandings or other issues17:52
mhall119ovidiu-florin: the primary reason is because we don't want people to be out of money if we don't approve. If somebody spends money, then asks tobe paid back, but the use wasn't a valid use, we'll have to tell them know and now they are personally hurt (financially) by it17:52
dholbachit'll also help planning and budgeting17:52
ovidiu-florinFor example, I can make a request for the travel expenses, but bu the time they get acecpted, The price of the plane ticket may have doubled.17:52
mhall119ovidiu-florin: most of the time an estimate on your trip's cost is all we need17:52
dholbachwe've gotten much much better at responding quickly17:52
mhall119ovidiu-florin: and we can (and do) adjust what is paid when things like ticket prices change17:52
dholbachok... shall we move on and have a chat with the Membership Board?17:53
ovidiu-florinso far I've always payed for the plane ticket myself well in advance of the event, and apply for reinbursment the same day,17:53
ovidiu-florinthis way avoiding to make big expences17:54
ovidiu-florinin the ~ 2 weeks it takes to get aproval the ticket may grow another 100€17:54
ovidiu-florindepends on the company and the destination17:54
ovidiu-florinand the timeframe17:54
mhall119ovidiu-florin: if you apply first with a rough estimate, we can at least approve it and then either pay you before you purchase, or hold off on paying you until after, we just would like to be able to say "yes this is a valid use of this money" or "No, this isn't a valid use of this money" before people commit to it17:55
ovidiu-florinIMO there are many cases when we can show the Bill, and from previous fundings, to asume they are ok17:55
dholbachif we can't book flights for events well in advance, I think that's just what has to happen here :/17:55
czajkowskimhall119: you did say it's like a 10 day 2 week turn around or less rught ?17:55
czajkowskiyou meet every week and it's on the topic17:55
mhall119czajkowski: typically, but not always17:55
cprofittI think we are a bit in the weeds on this particular issue. We are looking in to the specifics to make sure there is both more transparency and that it is easier for community members to make use of the funds. We have to ensure the program is also manageable from Canonical's side as well.17:55
mhall119ovidiu-florin: if you said "the ticket is going to be between 1000 and 1500 euro", we can work with that17:56
cprofittIt might be best to move on to the other scheduled topic though.17:56
mhall119right, ovidiu-florin you can join #ubuntu-community-team or email us directly if you want17:56
Riddellone more question: There seems to be no community mailing list for Ubuntu to discuss community issues.  Can we make one?17:56
dholbachhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-community-team17:56
mhall119^^17:57
Riddelldholbach: is everyone welcome and encouraged to subscribe to that?17:57

mhall11914:00 < jcastro> I will do that now18:01
mhall119\o/18:01
PabloRubianeselfy I have to check as I believe many of us (not me) are expiring18:02
pleia2I'd also like to encourage the whole CC to reach out to people they think are potential good candidates :)18:02
elfyPabloRubianes: 7 expire18:02
pleia2speaking from experience, it means a lot when a sitting board/council member asks someone if they'd be willing to participate in the board18:02
PabloRubianeswe have 6 nominies18:02
czajkowskipleia2: sure18:02
elfyPabloRubianes: excluding jcastro ?18:02

czajkowskilol18:05
czajkowskiPabloRubianes: is there anything else we can do to help ?18:05
PabloRubianesczajkowski: I think we are OK, maybe less people came to get the membership18:06
elfyyea - someone mentioned that to me18:06
PabloRubianescomparing to a few years ago18:06
pleia2yeah, that's been a trend we've been noticing for a couple years18:06
czajkowskiPabloRubianes: I think people don't think they can go for it18:06
elfynot sure what can be done about it18:06
PabloRubianesI think community as a whole is way less activ18:06
dholbachin the last time we pinged a couple of folks who applied for community funds18:06
czajkowskiI've chatted to a few folks who are very helpful on irc on ubuntu-uk none thought they could ge tit18:06
PabloRubianesactive*18:06
czajkowskiyet spend their day on irc helping people18:07
dholbachbecause we felt "they've been around for ages, they should apply" :)18:07
pleia2based on announcements from meetings, it doesn't seem to be getting considerably worse (based on 2 years ago, definitely worse than 5 years ago)18:07
czajkowskipeople need to be encouraged18:07
czajkowskiI'd ask eveyrone to talk to people in their community, irc, forums and talk to them about memberhsip18:07
czajkowskiwhat it entails18:07
czajkowskioffer to help with the wiki18:07
czajkowskileave a testimonial etc18:07
czajkowskiso they know they can do it if encouraged18:07
sgclarkwe have been pushing for memberships in our Loco18:08
