flocculantknome: and just how long do you think we should play this game with them? 00:00
flocculantI've got to have a cut off point 00:00
knomeif they won't allow the core name, let's just change it then00:00
knomebut if they don't, they'd better have a good argument00:00
flocculantand given they are just playing games then my cut off off point is the 1st 00:00
flocculantof January00:00
knomeit's their infrastructure; i'm sure they'll happily let us run our own and call our products whatever we like00:01
knomedo you have a link to LP where the naming discussion is?00:01
flocculantthe more I see of this issue the more I can see why people were /o\ over other debian issues00:01
flocculantand yes it is the same ;)00:02
flocculantknome: no - the name discussion was with adam in -release00:02
knomemaybe.00:02
knomeok, do you remember the date?00:02
flocculant2015/400:02
Unit193infinity didn't seem to care, just wanted to point it out.00:03
flocculantI've given up tbh on caring much, my position is if they eventually come through a day or so prior to release then that's really too bad and much much too late00:03
flocculantyea00:04
Unit193I'll poke again, I suppose.00:04
knomei haven't seen anybody explicitly say "no"00:04
flocculantthen slangasek disapproved - and has ignored it since00:04
flocculantwell00:04
Unit193And wonder why they don't get contributors?00:05
flocculantother than an apparent 'it's on my queue' comment to Unit193 00:05
flocculantwhich is as meaningless as any other comment00:05
flocculantoh good lord is the wiki down again 00:07
flocculantshould make sure we bring this up on the pointless CC chat I guess00:07
knomethe wiki works for me.00:08
flocculantmmm00:08
flocculanthttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda00:08
flocculantthat one? 00:09
knomethat too00:09
flocculantmust be local for some reason then - I can get anywhere else00:09
flocculantor firefox - chromium landed fine00:12
knomei would personally find out if this is about the name or not00:12
knomeif it's about the name, then get on with it and change to something else00:12
knomeif it's something else... well, then just push forward00:12
flocculantcc meeting is 2 working days before b1 freeze so that's pointless00:14
knomeand figure out possible blockers and see what we can do with it00:14
knomei don't think the CC is the right council to resolve this anyway00:14
flocculantI'll pinh mhall119 for the last 30 minutes of this discussion00:15
flocculantping00:15
knomeor if somebody feels like we'd like to get them involved, we can just poke them outside a meeting00:15
knomeyes, something like that ^00:15
flocculantmaybe not - but given they are all on holiday till god only knows when - who do we poke? 00:15
knomei don't know00:16
flocculantsorry, but I think this is about the name - perhaps amongst themselves - but ... 00:16
knomethen they should clearly state that to us00:16
flocculantand any reason to slow is enough00:16
knomein which case we will come up with a new one00:16
flocculantI have no trust in them anymore tbh00:16
flocculantas a 'group' 00:17
knomei guess i can see that, but otoh, that attitude doesn't help at all (as you also know)00:17
knomewe can blame them to the end of the world, but that won't make them do decisions we want00:17
knomemight do quite the opposite00:17
flocculantknome: currently we're waiting for one person to find time in their queue 00:18
knomeif that's the real status (and they just don't want to do it because of the name), then we should wait00:18
knomewe should also be in touch with them and probably get an ETA at some point00:18
flocculantright now - they work for me, it's taking too long so I don't even have to think about testing it ;)00:18
knomebut i don't think there is much more to do00:18
flocculantas far as I now 'we' can't do more than we have 00:19
flocculantUnit193: is that right ^^ ?00:19
knomenot much at least00:19
flocculantwe did what they asked00:19
knomeyes, i have the same point of view to it00:20
flocculantanyway - bed for me now :)00:21
knomeyep, have a good night and don't worry too much about things00:22
flocculantoh I won't :)00:23
flocculantif it turns up in March - too late ;)00:23
knomelet's target for january.00:23
flocculantmmm00:24
flocculantnight :)00:24
knomegood night!00:24
Unit193Well we could fix it so it applies cleanly, but I've already done that before and don't see a reason to do so again unless it'll be reviewed before I'd have to fix it yet again.00:31
knomeat least i'd make sure the name isn't a showstopper before doing that.00:43
Unit193I'd have thought they'd say that...00:44
Unit193flocculant: Hi.  So I'm still activly using Xenial somewhere, but haven't done much reporting except for the upgrade.  Is there something specific there that'd help you, or should I just continue to mention things/file reports as they crop up?01:16
flocculantUnit193: just carry on as you are is great :)07:29
knomesome improvements about to land to xubuntu.org13:39
knomeas soon as the IS team pushes the new branch revision13:39
knomebbl13:51
pleia2ooh, rt tickets being addressed \o/19:37
knomeyup19:57
mhall119flocculant: I read the backlog, but I don't understand the problem or it's context, can you give me a tl;dr?21:45
knomemhall119, we've been waiting for a merge since september; merging this change would enable a new version of xubuntu (named "xubuntu core") to be built and thus appear on cdimage.ubuntu.com; we're not exactly sure what is taking so long23:31
knomemhall119, one possibility is the naming; some concerns have been raised because it conflicts with "ubuntu core", but afaik, nobody has said that's the reason23:31
knomemhall119, another possibility is that people are simply busy23:32
knomemhall119, this is more problematic for us every day because as long as the official builds aren't up, we can't do official testing23:32
