flexiondotorgHe maybe able to get boards for you in exchange for helping add support for these device inti Ubuntu.00:18
flexiondotorgJust a heads up.00:18
=== maclin1 is now known as maclin
MrBIOSinfinity: cyphermox either of you around by chance?01:24
cyphermoxyeah01:25
MrBIOScyphermox: were you by chance at UbuCon at SCaLE 14x in Pasadena?01:37
cyphermoxno, sorry01:37
MrBIOSno worries, just curious01:38
cyphermoxI watched some presentations on youtube ;)01:38
=== maclin1 is now known as maclin
=== maclin1 is now known as maclin
infinityflexiondotorg: Always happy to have more PPC kit in my house, have him email me or something.09:22
flexiondotorginfinity, He has your details and cyphermox too.09:37
flexiondotorginfinity, If you have a sec could you update ubuntu-mate-meta please?09:46
flexiondotorgHas updates so ubuntu-mate-base will work.09:46
infinityflexiondotorg: Looking.09:47
flexiondotorgCheers.09:47
infinityflexiondotorg: Does this close any bugs (for the changelog)?10:02
infinityflexiondotorg: "Sadly, this is not something we can address in Ubuntu MATE Desktop because we can't currently mark packages as recommended in the seeds."10:05
infinityflexiondotorg: Of course you can have recommends.  We use them liberally in ubuntu.10:05
infinityflexiondotorg: You even have a bunch in your metapackages...10:05
infinityflexiondotorg: Oh, but you use no-follow-recommends (ick), which might make that tougher.10:09
infinityflexiondotorg: If the argument there was to make things slimmer, perhaps worth revisiting when you have a slim and fat product.10:10
=== didrocks1 is now known as didrocks
flexiondotorginfinity, The reason for no-follow is because Unity and GNOME3 stuff will get pulled in otherwise.11:26
flexiondotorgSo I have to hand resolve recommends.11:26
flexiondotorgI need to file several patches to other packages before I can stop using no-follow.11:27
flexiondotorginfinity, I've got the go ahead from xubuntu to file merge proposals for Xubuntu Base and Ubuntu MATE Base11:27
infinityflexiondotorg: Yeahp, would be nice to see if that's fixable.11:27
flexiondotorgShould I subscribe ubuntu-release or just yourself?11:28
infinityflexiondotorg: ~ubuntu-cdimage and ~adconrad11:28
flexiondotorgThanks11:28
infinity(I'm in the former, but the explicit ping doesn't hurt)11:28
flexiondotorginfinity, All filed. Thanks for help on this.11:41
rtgcan I get linux-snapdragon and -meta accepted from the Xenial NEW queue ?12:58
infinityrtg: Not without it being reviewed, and me being grumpy about everything about it.13:06
rtginfinity, well I can't know what you are grumpy about until you tell me.  I cloned it from raspi2, so they both have the same issues13:07
infinityrtg: I haven't reviewed it yet, so was holding off on the grump.13:07
rtginfinity, it is a 4.2 kernel for now, but we plan to update it to 4.4 before release13:08
infinityrtg: But the most obvious one is "why?" ... With, I assume your response being "cause we need the 96boards branch to make it go and we don't want to review all of that for suitability in master/generic", which then leads to "why not a 96boards kernel instead of a snapdragon-specific one, then?"13:08
flexiondotorgwxl, All participating flavours are ready.13:16
flexiondotorgwxl, Have you agree a release ETA with slangasek?13:16
wxlflexiondotorg: we have not set an ETA, but just that we'd do it friday14:34

wxlsuffice it to say we're ready to go tho17:58
slangasekwxl: ah?  what are you waiting to hear back from him on?  I got the impression he was saying they were ready18:00
slangasekor do you mean, wait until he's back so he can send the mail?18:00
wxlslangasek: well he originally said he would so if he can that'd be super fab as he won't be at work whilst i am just getting at work18:01
wxlslangasek: the thing is already prepped though, so i can send it out now if need be18:01
slangasekwxl: well, do you want me to push the button now, or wait?18:09

slangasekwxl: (announce message moderated)20:11
flocculantwxl: I'm already listed for b120:12
wxlslangasek: thank you sir20:13
wxland flocculant thank you for being on it (as usual) XD20:13
flocculantmight be nice to see people that don't bother to help out though20:17
wxlyeah well i guess the release manager pool is relatively limited20:18
wxlbut i couldn't help but agree20:18
flocculantwell it's relatively limited ofc - but there are gnome,studio and kylin20:19
wxlmythbuntu, edubuntu, etc20:19
flocculantstudio though tends not to alpha like us20:19
wxlyes agree20:19
* tgm4883 pops his head in20:19
flocculantpretty sure that both myth and edu are LTS only - so bit harsh perhaps on them :)20:19
flocculanthi tgm4883 :)20:20
wxltrue true20:20
wxlbut maybe they have more time to burn flocculant XD20:20
flocculantheh20:20
tgm4883whats the problem?20:20
flocculantthere's not as such - not with you :)20:21
flocculant'community need to deal with the alpha/beta's that ubuntu don't - with canonical help20:21
flocculantit tends to be the same people do the dealing20:22
flocculantbut as I said afaik you and edubuntu are LTS only20:22
tgm4883ok20:22
flocculantso bit harsh to expect anything for the once you might get involved in it prior to ubuntu's only beta for an LTS20:23
tgm4883what sort of involment are we looking for here?20:24
wxlhere's my other problem20:24
wxlwe don't even really have a wiki page discussing this20:24
flocculanttgm4883: not much tbh - pen the release announcement, chivvy teams involved to get things done20:25
wxloh we do!20:25
wxlhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityMilestoneProcess20:25
wxli'm going to link that20:25
wxlonce the wiki sso completes20:25
wxltalk to you guys in a couple days :/20:26
flocculanttgm4883: most importantly be available for whoever is helping on the canonical side - slangasek this time, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseTaskSignup20:26
flocculantwxl: good luck :p20:26
wxlthere https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseTaskSignup20:29
