Unit193https://trello.com/c/kdll5hVC/10-create-proper-release-tags is fixed/done/etc, right?00:09
bluesabreprobably not00:30
bluesabrelemme check00:30
bluesabre:)00:30
bluesabre:]00:58
Unit193\o/00:58
bluesabreooh the pulseaudio plugin lets you exceed 100%01:02
* bluesabre would love to see playback controls in there01:02
Unit193Isn't there a bug for that.01:03
bluesabreprobably01:04
bluesabreI also like the direction elementary is taking their sound indicator https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-zxCog8_ekQs/VW5AnvP335I/AAAAAAAAHYM/lHrptHOhWVk/w420-h292-no/Screenshot%2Bfrom%2B2015-06-02%2B16%253A45%253A24.png01:04
Unit193Eh, yes and no.01:05
ali1234triangles :(01:05
Unit193I do not like the silly little toggles, nor that which ali1234 pointed out, but the concept is good. :P01:05
ali1234i already have all that stuff with indicator-sound, except for mic volume01:06
Unit193But not xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin01:07
ali1234fork indicator-sound and make it into a panel plugin :)01:07
Unit193xfce4-soundmenu-plugin?01:07
ali1234no, indicator-sound01:08
bluesabrecombine pulseaudio+soundmenu-plugins01:08
Unit193Yes.01:08
bluesabrewithout the array of panel buttons01:08
bluesabrebut it in the menu01:08
bluesabre:)01:08
bluesabre*put01:08
ochosibluesabre: there were some talks with matias a while ago about combining the two plugins, but neither of us really had time to look at it in the end. thing is, putting the buttons in the menu isn't trivial, you basically need your own custom widget for that. that said, it can be borrowed from libide09:00
=== ganglere1 is now known as ganglere
bluesabreochosi: yeah, but we've been stuffing sliders and large images and whatnot in the plugin menus lately anyway :)10:20
ochosiyeah, mostly panel plugins though, so i think it's okay10:22
ochosii guess it wouldn't be *that* much work to pull in the custom widget from libido, then again, it doesn't seem that anyone really has the time to take on that task10:24
ochosiwhich brings me to the next issue, milestones10:24
ochosi(lemme know when you've read my email)10:25
bluesabrejust did10:25
ochosik10:27
ochosiso personally, also looking at the specific dates, i won't be able to do much for a1+210:27
ochosiespecially a2 is at an inconvenient time10:28
bluesabreyeah10:28
ochosiso i'd say we can start with b110:28
bluesabreI'm going to agree with that10:28
ochosithat might still mean that we have to do the work for that10:28
ochosiwe don't have problematic transitions ahead this cycle i think (and hope)10:29
ochosiLO will hopefully go smoothly10:29
ochosidespite the upgrade to 5.010:29
ochosiand within Xfce, there won't be much news10:29
bluesabreyeah, that should be fine10:29
ochosifor now, i'm not sure whether we'll manage to push in xfpm 1.610:29
bluesabreLO doesn't change particularly much, and only gets better10:29
ochosiyeah10:29
ochosiand it's well tested from within10:30
ochosithere's little that makes it different in xubuntu than say in ubuntu10:30
ochosiand even if the current LO icons dont improve much more, they're a nice improvement over the alternative/default icons and i'm ok with shipping LO that way10:30
bluesabremhm10:31
bluesabrelet me know when you're ready for an initial release there10:31
ochosiother than the transition to gtk3.16, i'm not aware of dramatic changes10:31
ochosiok, will do10:31
bluesabrewe'll have (probably/hopefully) new catfish and menulibre which may include some larger changes10:32
bluesabrebut those are still minor10:32
bluesabreshould be smooth sailing to LTS10:33
ochosiyeah10:34
ochosiwell the other thing we should continue to discuss is whether to opt-in for more CSD10:34
ochosito smoothen the transition until it might be unavoidable10:34
ochosii think theming wise there are more tweaks available which will make them look more consistent and integrated10:35
ochosithe new min and max icons already help with that10:36
ochosibut i can also remove some padding from CSD and add some padding to SSD10:36
bluesabremaybe, but it might also be a non-issue... there's no requirement to use CSD and apps that do just work10:36
bluesabreyeah10:36
bluesabrethat might be a good idea10:36
ochosiyeah, file-roller is dead ugly atm though10:36
bluesabreyes10:37
bluesabreI've been regularly using the Xfce Default window borders10:37
bluesabrethey blend well with greybird and are resizable10:38
ochosiand while simplescan looks ok, i personally don't see much benefit in having SSD there10:38
ochosiyou mean because of greybird's 1px border?10:38
bluesabreyeah10:38
bluesabreits too small on my laptop screen, and too unreachable with my scrollball mouse10:38
ochosiknome: since you seem to be around, could you choke up the window-close svg you did for greybird so i can push that for the CSD?10:38
knomenot on desktop, but i'll try to find that today10:39
ochosiok, ty10:39
ochosibluesabre: ideally xfwm4 would at some point allow resizing using the window shadow10:39
ochosibut i'm not sure olivier is motivated to work on stuff like that10:39
bluesabreochosi: yeah, I don't expect to see that in xfwm4...10:41
ochosiwell, especially since CSD already does it10:41
ochosiand sort of "for free"10:41
ochosi(although there are downsides, e.g. when taking screenshots of a single window, it always includes the shadows)10:41
ochosibluesabre: of all the things on the 15.10 roadmap, replacing xfdesktop in ubiquity seems like one of the things we should really get done10:45
bluesabreochosi: added feh to live session yesterday... just need to patch ubiquity now10:45
ochosioh10:45
ochosisweet10:46
ochosididn't notice10:46
bluesabre22:18--Notice(SwissBot) -> #xubuntu-devel: ::xubuntu-seed:: Revision 986 @ http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/xubuntu.wily/revision/986 (by Sean Davis)10:47
ochosiyeah, i guess i should subscribe to seed changes...10:47
bluesabrethat's here on xubuntu-devel now10:47
bluesabrejust add a highlight for swissbot10:48
ochosioh good10:48
ochosiwrt LO icons, i'll do a first release when writer's main toolbars look ok10:49
ochosihopefully that won't be long, but depends a bit on whether knome also picks up his drawing stick again ;)10:49
knomewoot10:50
* knome hits ochosi's fingers with a "drawing stick"10:50
ochosiouch!10:50
knomei have a question...10:51
* bluesabre watches and learns how to create icons10:51
knomesince we drop abiword and gnumeric for 15.10...10:51
knomewhat's the support status for them/LO?10:51
knomedo we give user support both until the EOL of all releases with abiword and gnumeric?10:51
knomei mean, not that there is any reason to not give it even after they are not used, but...10:52
bluesabreso through 201710:52
knomeessentially...10:52
bluesabreI think the majority of our support has been (well, that's a bug that we can't fix)10:52
knomeyep10:52
bluesabre"if you need an alternative, please install LibreOffice"10:53
bluesabre:D10:53
knomei guess regressions aren't likely, since nobody cares too much to push new versions to trusty10:53
bluesabreyeah10:53
knomei guess we should wait until the next release to see if we want to keep on shipping LO10:53
knomeif we want to, then we likely want to start advocating its use even on trusty if people end up in trouble with abiword and gnumeric10:54
bluesabreyeah10:55
bluesabrethat's probably the way to go10:55
ochosiyup, agreed10:57
bluesabre!team | putting this out there again, please take a moment to add your general availability10:59

bluesabrehttp://doodle.com/vmzrybyw9r9929wt10:59
knomeochosi, i'm sorry, but i don't think i have the svg you are looking for...11:02
knomeochosi, are you sure it's not on a repository somewhere?11:02
ochosiknome: don't think so11:03
knomei mean i don't usually delete stuff that can be useful that isn't on a repository11:03
knomeit was the greybird xfwm close icon, right?11:03
ochosiyeah11:03
ochosii looked and i only have the png11:03
knomeis it possible we just did the png?11:03
ochosicould it be that there's no svg?11:03
ochosi:D11:04
knomethat's completely possible11:04
knomeiirc, it was pixel pushing anyway11:04
ochosiwell in that case get to the drawing board and do a proper svg!!11:04
knomehah!11:04
knomeyou wish! :P11:04
knomewhere are the rest of the greybird xfwm svgs11:04
ochosidon't look at me, how would i know? :)11:05
knomei thought you had them11:05
knomebecause you did them11:05
ochosino frankly, i think for xfwm4 we never did much svg work11:05
knomeaha11:05
bluesabre:(11:05
ochosieven though it would have made some things easier, but i think at the time (yeeeeears ago) i started with png and stuck to it11:05
ochositoo lazy11:05
bluesabrenobody knows whats going on anymore :p11:05
ochosibluesabre: wrt the doodle my times are to be taken with a huge bag of salt11:08
bluesabreochosi: sure11:08
ochosimy job is about to end and my times will be a lot less regular from here on11:08
ochosi(and less calculable)11:08
bluesabrethis is mainly so I can schedule the next meeting11:08
ochosisure i know11:09
bluesabre(maybe for next week)11:09
ochosibluesabre: so i'll reply to Laney's email saying that we're up for b1 onwards11:10
bluesabrecool11:10
ochosii'll try not to automatically sign us up for doing b111:11
ochosialso, can someone please translate this for me? "I put myself down for nusakan (cdimage) pres butaning for A2 and B1."11:11
bluesabreprobably translates to "Please forward all questions and bug reports to Simon Steinbess... for A2 and B1"11:14
knomeochosi, you happy with this? http://xubuntu.org/?page_id=3081&preview=true11:15
ochosiknome: the padding at the top is a bit excessive11:16
knomesigh..11:16
ochosiyeah yeah, i know11:17
ochosistill11:17
ochosiyou asked ;)11:17
knomei don't even know where that comes from11:17
knomebut that wasn't the point...11:17
ochosiand yes, i like it11:17
knomeok, then i'll request some redirects and when they are done, push that in place11:18
ochosiperfect, thanks!11:19
bluesabreknome: I'm going to work on a post this weekend for finding/reporting bugs (ubuntu-bug, packages from PPA, etc)11:21
bluesabremight copy the content from that to a new FAQ11:22
knomenice11:22
knomeor you can just write it for xubuntu.org directly ;)11:22
bluesabremaybe11:22
bluesabrebut my posts are image-heavy, and xubuntu.org posts are notoriously not11:23
bluesabre"New release! No screenshots!"11:23
knomehah11:23
knomewe now have all that sorted, so we can easily attach images11:23
knomeand it'll look good too11:23
ochosibluesabre: moar screenshots!11:24
* ochosi appoints bluesabre xubuntu's senior blog screenshot correspondent11:25
knomeochosi, rt ticket filed, you're CC11:25
knomeochosi, now i know where the padding comes from - the theme - it's in there for all pages - have to fix it later11:25
ochosiokeydokey11:26
bluesabre:D11:26
bluesabretime for work, bbl11:26
ochosialrighty, ttyl bluesabre 11:27
lderanbluesabre: added the times i can do :)11:53
bluesabrethanks lderan !11:54
knomepleia2, now https://launchpad.net/xubuntu-website/static-assets is REALLY ready for pulling :)12:17
knomehuh, jquery isn't loading on xubuntu.org12:23
knomeso the mobile menu isn't working12:23
knomeok, fixed temporarily by loading something else that always includes jquery12:28
lderan\o/12:29
knomeand sent a RT ticket12:33
knomeochosi, new content drop finalized, again positive points for IS13:36
knomeupdated http://xubuntu.org/contribute/qa/ for a slightly more straightforward approach14:07

knomeochosi, so... what else did you want @ developer area again?16:02
Unit193bluesabre: I'm not dating or married so I'm pretty availabile.  Oh wait you meant in another way.17:24
knomehaha.17:24
knomenudge nudge wink wink17:24
holstein*is* a wink as good as a nudge?17:28
SwissBotfeed xubuntu-artwork had 5 updates, showing the latest 317:41
knomepleia2, Unit193: think you have anything to add to http://pad.ubuntu.com/xubuntu-website-ssl ?19:37
knomepleia2, Unit193: (or change); fwiw, i'm open for https as default too, but even the ubuntu website doens't seem to do that, so i don't know19:37
Unit193Not sure if you're supposed to put a reason behind the request, or not.  Seems ubuntustudio.org doesn't precisely use hsts, but all the links are https.19:40
knomereason why we want HTTPS?19:41
knomewell i don't have a strong reason.19:41
Unit193Nah, just not sure how requests to IS usually go. :P19:45
knomeregarding x.org, they've lately gone  me: "we need this"  IS: "done"19:45
knomeprops to them for that.19:46
Unit193\o/19:47
knomethey handled *two* requests i filed *today* within a few *hours*19:47
Unit193I'd like HSTS, but hey that's just me.  If it's not done properly it tends to mess stuff up though.19:47
knomei was thinking that it would be a step in the right direction if we just enabled https now19:48
knomeand when that's done, we could reassess the situation and ask to make it the default at some point19:48
knomefrom my point of view, there's no rush to get that done19:56
Unit193Nah, not really.19:59
knomeso yeah, that's why i thought "just let's make it possible first"19:59
knomeand that's a much fairer request to begin with too19:59
knomeand doesn't mean we end up in a technical mess20:00
knomeUnit193, offhand, do you have further ideas for http://xubuntu.org/dev/ ?20:02
Unit193knome: Is this for us or them?20:03
knomemostly us, but it shouldn't be too scary-looking for them either20:03
knomeand anything can be for anybody, if people think it makes sense20:04
Unit193Just thinking that we also use Sean's wiki, and at least some of use https://sigma.unit193.net/~unit193/xfce412.html there's also a few more external but related sources.20:04
knomesure.20:05
knomewhat i'm not sure about yet is how to separate stuff20:05
knomeeg. what should go into the wiki and what to x.org20:05
knomecurrently, i want to keep as much developer-facing stuff in the wiki as possible20:05
knomethat doesn't mean we couldn't link stuff from x.org too20:06
Unit193I like x.org, it's faster. :P20:06
knomesuuuure20:07
knomebut you know that's not the point20:07
Unit193Speaking of which, either of the two other devs around?20:07
Unit193knome: Yes, and I do get your point.  That's why that page is complicated.20:07
knomei just slightly updated it20:08
knomei think the "wily" (or "current cycle") box is open for anything that is useful right now20:08
knomeand that people need to relatively frequently access20:08
knomeand that is top-level enough that a link in a single team blueprint isn't enough20:09
knomeone option is to move the strategy document to x.org20:09
knomebut... meh20:09
* knome shrugs20:10
Unit193That'd rather make sense to me.20:11
Unit193However, you don't get the (terrible?) version control on it then.20:11
knomewordpress does have revision history20:11
Unit193Ah, ok.20:11
knomethough sure, you'd lose the history so far20:12
Unit193bluesabre: xfdashy, for the extras ppa.  Follow development releases like last time? https://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce/2015-June/034543.html20:14
knomemmh, ppa's20:15
Unit193Or I could do the fun trick of stable series for trusty, development for vivid and wily. :D20:17
Unit193knome: They're easier, and currently we're wating on Debian for Ubuntu repos.20:17
knomeno here: http://xubuntu.org/dev/20:18
Unit193The shimmer daily one. :320:19
Unit193Also, there's the Xubuntu daily too if you like that one.20:20
knomei kind of say boo for https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/ppa, since i don't like the naming or the description20:21
knomesoo.. fix that and... :)20:21
Unit193It needed fixed, someone else can fix it properly. (It's kind of fixed now.)20:23
knome:P20:23
knomebluesabreeeeeee20:23
Unit193Checked the usage of extras just now.  So while xfdash is pretty much the highest currently, soundmenu and pulseaudio are high as well, but thunar-dropbox-plugin just plainly blows them out of the water for trusty with a whopping 800+ :320:58
knomeheh20:59
knomeyeah, i can imagine people wanting to use that20:59
Unit193https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=thunar-dropbox-plugin not as high, but not surprising.21:00
knomeoh yay22:06
knomeanother RT ticket fixed for us today :D22:06
