| bdmurray | Is there somebody who could look at bug 1547466? | 16:15 |
| ubottu | bug 1547466 in grep (Ubuntu) "grep switches into binary mode while processing a text file" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1547466 | 16:15 |
| cyphermox | that rings a bell | 16:16 |
| * tdaitx is having eletricty troubles at home and suffering from really bad wifi outside of it | 16:16 | |
| pitti | I thought that was an intended change | 16:17 |
| bdmurray | Based on upstream it is an intended change but it seems to be affecting a lot of people negatively and some builds. | 16:18 |
| pitti | we've been wanting to change our buildds to default to C.UTF-8, maybe that's just the final nail in the coffin | 16:18 |
| barry | pitti: +1 | 16:18 |
| cyphermox | so, notabug, fix the users? | 16:19 |
| xnox | pitti, +1 | 16:19 |
| pitti | well, not sure | 16:19 |
| xnox | infinity would be cautious. | 16:19 |
| pitti | we could revert the change for xenial | 16:19 |
| xnox | it would explode on upgrades, yes. | 16:19 |
| cyphermox | well, really "fix the users when they try to output UTF or binary data to a non-UTF terminal" | 16:19 |
| pitti | but it's more complicated than just making grep -a the default | 16:19 |
| cyphermox | pitti: definitely | 16:20 |
| pitti | as grep has had a binary detection mode all the time | 16:20 |
| pitti | it just got a bit stricter now apparently | 16:20 |
| xnox | cyphermox, we default to UTF terminal, apart from our buildds. | 16:20 |
| pitti | cyphermox: s/terminal/locale/ | 16:20 |
| cyphermox | xnox: yes | 16:20 |
| pitti | this affects "grep something > outputfile" | 16:20 |
| pitti | (i. e. not strictly bound to terminals) | 16:20 |
| cyphermox | bah | 16:20 |
| pitti | I suppose grep checks LC_CTYPE, and if it sees an undecodable character it switches to binary mode | 16:21 |
| pitti | but no idea what it used before | 16:21 |
| bdmurray | pitti: you seem to understand the issue a fair bit, could you look into it more? | 16:22 |
| pitti | well, what do we *want* to do about it? | 16:23 |
| pitti | finally fix our buildds? revert the change? | 16:23 |
| pitti | but if we revert it, we'll be stuck with it for"ever" | 16:23 |
| xnox | we do want to fix our buildds regardless. | 16:23 |
| cyphermox | fix the buildds, I would think | 16:23 |
| xnox | on the off-hand email from steve, he did say given "grep" issue, we should push to change buildds to utf. | 16:23 |
| xnox | but e.g. infinity is ill at the moment. So, cjwatson - would you fix our buildds to run with C.UTF-8 by default? | 16:24 |
| * xnox wonders if we should have done so for the archive rebuild running now - to see how bad the fallout from that is. | 16:24 | |
| xnox | vs current grep fallout. | 16:24 |
| pitti | xnox: zero, I hope -- or our stuff would be broken on UTF-8 locales which are being used on pretty much every real system out there | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | Yeah, it sounds like we should perhaps JFDI | 16:26 |
| pitti | well, there might be some debian test suites which currently rely on C | 16:26 |
| pitti | so "zero" is probably too optimistic | 16:26 |
| xnox | pitti, sure, the glibc test-suite will catch or some such. | 16:27 |
| xnox | cjwatson, shall i file a bug report against... launchpad? lp-buildd? | 16:28 |
| * xnox bets there is one already. | 16:28 | |
| cjwatson | launchpad-buildd. we have a deployment planned soon anway | 16:28 |
| cjwatson | *anyway | 16:28 |
| pitti | so until that happens, should we revert the grep behavour in the meantime? | 16:29 |
| pitti | that'll probably require some bisecting to find out which particular commit changed it (and how exactly) | 16:29 |
| pitti | if we want to do this, I can look into it | 16:30 |
| cjwatson | it shouldn't take us long to deploy new buildd code, fwiw | 16:31 |
| xnox | please ack/approve https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad-buildd/+bug/1552791 | 16:31 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1552791 in launchpad-buildd "please set default locale to C.UTF-8" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 16:31 |
| cjwatson | probably today/tomorrow | 16:31 |
| cjwatson | ack/approve> meaningless :) | 16:31 |
| cyphermox | do we cyurrently have lots of builds failing because grep? | 16:31 |
| pitti | oh, ok -- then let's not bother | 16:31 |
| cyphermox | right | 16:31 |
| xnox | with like "affects me", "me too" comments, +1, like, heart - etc. | 16:31 |
| pitti | ok, anything else? | 16:33 |

| belkinsa | Who is all for the Check-in Meeting for the Doc Team and QA Team? | 17:00 |
| pleia2 | doc team o/ | 17:00 |
| pmatulis | \o | 17:00 |
| dsmythies | I'm here. | 17:00 |
| belkinsa | Doc Team 17:00UTC - QA Team 17:30UTC | 17:00 |

| GunnarHj | o/ | 17:01 |
| belkinsa | Alright, let's get started. | 17:02 |
| belkinsa | Doc Team, what do you have to say about what you have done for this cycle? | 17:02 |
| mhall119 | hello everyone | 17:02 |
| mhall119 | o/ | 17:02 |
| belkinsa | #chair mhall119 | 17:02 |
| meetingology | Current chairs: belkinsa mhall119 | 17:02 |
| dsmythies | As mentioned in the last couple of meetings, for the serverguide we lack subject matter expert input. The serverguide struggles to be current. | 17:03 |
| hggdh | belkinsa: o/ | 17:03 |
| dsmythies | For the 16.04 cycle, the issue is compounded by the significant changes introduced by the change to systemd. | 17:03 |
| belkinsa | #chair hggdh | 17:03 |
| meetingology | Current chairs: belkinsa hggdh mhall119 | 17:03 |
| dsmythies | Recall that the serverguide is only published for LTS cycles, and server people tend to only run LTS editions. I.E. we are just discovering systemd stuff now. | 17:03 |
| knome | i'm on/off, we have a xubuntu meeting at the same time | 17:03 |
| mhall119 | dsmythies: who have you had help you with this in the past? | 17:03 |
| pleia2 | knome and I have spent a ridiculous amount of time dealing with the fact that the wiki at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ was first being spammed, and now has been locked down for 2 months | 17:04 |
| pleia2 | with it locked down, admins have to take wiki format diffs from community members on the mailing list to make changes to pages, so much work :( | 17:04 |
| mhall119 | pleia2: but that is unlocked again now, correct? | 17:04 |
| pleia2 | mhall119: nope, locked up again | 17:04 |
| mhall119 | was it getting spammed again? | 17:04 |
| pleia2 | I don't know | 17:04 |
| mhall119 | when was it locked again? | 17:04 |
| pleia2 | I don't know that either | 17:05 |
| belkinsa | And is there some DoS attack on it because of the spam like wiki.ubuntu.com or do you not know? | 17:05 |
| pmatulis | afaik, it never got unlocked | 17:05 |
| pleia2 | I told people to try and edit it after it worked for you, they couldn't knome replied to the ticket and they said it's locked | 17:05 |
| belkinsa | I see. | 17:05 |
| pleia2 | pmatulis: it was for a few minutes at least :) | 17:05 |
| pmatulis | pleia2: are you sure? | 17:05 |
| knome | we confirmed it was unlocked | 17:05 |
| pleia2 | pmatulis: yes, I worked with mhall119 on it, he could edit it | 17:06 |
| GunnarHj | pleia2: Glad to hear that you are on it, anyhow. It's utterly important that it soon can be edited by 'normal' people. | 17:06 |
| pmatulis | pleia2: but isn't he on some special group? | 17:06 |
| pleia2 | GunnarHj: I don't have time to be "on it", this is really frustrating | 17:06 |
| pleia2 | pmatulis: nope, that's why he was good to test it | 17:06 |
| pmatulis | ok, weird then | 17:06 |
| pmatulis | dunno how it can be unlocked for a day and then locked again | 17:07 |
| pleia2 | clearly someone in IS flipped it back and didn't tell us | 17:07 |
| pleia2 | but I have no idea when/why | 17:07 |
| hggdh | it is locked for me, at leas | 17:07 |
| hggdh | least* | 17:07 |
| mhall119 | I will follow up with IS again and see what's going on | 17:07 |
| pmatulis | or some auto-lock was put into effect | 17:07 |
| pleia2 | mhall119: thanks, it's really a problem | 17:07 |
| mhall119 | pleia2: understood, I thought we had resolved it, but evidently that was fleeting | 17:08 |
| belkinsa | #action mhall119 Follow up with IS about community help wiki lock down | 17:08 |
| meetingology | ACTION: mhall119 Follow up with IS about community help wiki lock down | 17:08 |
| pmatulis | it seems appropriate to mention that wiki.ubuntu.com also has problems. lots of people are getting internal server errors. quite bad all around i would say | 17:08 |
| mhall119 | pmatulis: for a few days now I think, IIRC someone in IS was looking into it already but I will check on that too | 17:08 |
| belkinsa | Yes, I'm aware of that. I think we all are. | 17:09 |
| belkinsa | #action mhall119 Follow up with IS about community wiki lock down | 17:09 |
| meetingology | ACTION: mhall119 Follow up with IS about community wiki lock down | 17:09 |
| GunnarHj | As regards the desktop docs, there isn't much to say, since nothing has been done this cycle. Even if the Unity desktop hasn't changed much lately, some parts of the 16.04 desktop docs will be dated. | 17:09 |
| mhall119 | need a different action belkinsa :) | 17:09 |
| pleia2 | yeah, do it twice, just to be sure :) | 17:09 |
| hggdh | IS stated most internal errors are a consequence of the scripts they run to erase/block spam, and that they were working on getting these scripts to run faster | 17:09 |
| mhall119 | pleia2: it's funny because it's true | 17:09 |
| belkinsa | #undo | 17:09 |
| meetingology | Removing item from minutes: ACTION | 17:09 |
| mhall119 | TIL, meetingology has an #undo command | 17:09 |
| belkinsa | mhall119, you can add it since i don't know any better. | 17:10 |
| belkinsa | mhall119, I did undo it. | 17:10 |
| mhall119 | #action mhall119 Follow up with IS about wiki.ubuntu.com 500 errors | 17:10 |
| meetingology | ACTION: mhall119 Follow up with IS about wiki.ubuntu.com 500 errors | 17:10 |
| belkinsa | GunnarHj, is it because there is no one working on the docs or what? | 17:10 |
| pleia2 | GunnarHj: was there a call for people to review the desktop docs in anticipation of updating them? I think I remember one, but I might have dreamt it | 17:10 |
| GunnarHj | belkinsa: Yes. | 17:10 |
| belkinsa | I see. | 17:11 |
| pmatulis | all doc projects seem to be in a bad funk these days. it's really difficult | 17:11 |
| pleia2 | ah, looks like there was for server guide, but not desktop | 17:11 |
| mhall119 | GunnarHj: do we have a way to listing what is out of date? | 17:11 |
| GunnarHj | pleia2: pmatulis posted a call for the server guide, but no such has been posted for desktop. | 17:11 |
| belkinsa | Maybe a call for the Desktop Docs is needed? | 17:12 |
| * pleia2 nods | 17:12 | |
| dsmythies | mhall119: Serverguide help is spuratic at best. pmatulis puts out requests for help on the serverteam email list. | 17:12 |
| GunnarHj | mhall119: No easy way, I'm afraid. Read the docs... | 17:12 |
| pleia2 | belkinsa: first we need someone to do it :) | 17:12 |
| belkinsa | Right, duh. | 17:12 |
| pleia2 | also make sure all the contribution docs are up to date, so we don't have people trying to help and failing | 17:12 |
| pleia2 | so a lot of work, very few (any?) people | 17:13 |
| mhall119 | GunnarHj: can the docs team identify and tag out of date docs for other contributors to work on, or would that be about as much work as just updating them yourselves? | 17:13 |
| dsmythies | For my part of it, I have been having troubles to get a working 16.04 system. I'm bogged down with that, and yet to move on to looking at docs with the new systems. | 17:13 |
| pmatulis | for serverguide, i maintain a table of stuff that is most pressing | 17:13 |
| mhall119 | pmatulis: that would be a good thing to point new contributors too (especially in a call for help) | 17:14 |
| dsmythies | pmatulis: samba is, suddenly, obsolete. This change was since the start of 16.04. | 17:14 |
| mhall119 | having a list to pick from is less daunting than having to find something first | 17:14 |
| pmatulis | mhall119: that's been done in my call for help :) | 17:14 |
| mhall119 | \o/ | 17:14 |
| pleia2 | and I included the call for help in the ubuntu weekly newsletter | 17:14 |
| mhall119 | ok, so do we need an action item for desktop guide call for help? | 17:14 |
| pmatulis | pleia2: ty for that | 17:15 |
| GunnarHj | Identifying out of date docs if of course easier than also fixing it, but it would still take quite some time. I fear that we simply don't have the sufficient resources to do it. | 17:15 |
| * pmatulis hugs pleia2 | 17:15 | |
| * pleia2 hugs pmatulis | 17:15 | |
| mhall119 | GunnarHj: understood, but the investment might bring in new contributors to boost your resource in the future | 17:15 |
| pmatulis | dsmythies: yeah, will proll be dropping samba, sadly | 17:15 |
| mhall119 | GunnarHj: even if it's not a complete list, if you can put together 10 or 20 "most wanted" pages that need updates | 17:16 |
| GunnarHj | mhall119: Indeed. And a call for help should be posted. | 17:16 |
| dsmythies | pmatulis: You can not drop samba, it is too important. The root issue is that we need subject matter expert input and we don't get it. | 17:17 |
| mhall119 | who would like to volunteer to put out a call for help on desktop guide docs? | 17:17 |
| mhall119 | dsmythies: experts on samba specifically, or server stuff in general? | 17:17 |
| pmatulis | dsmythies: actually, out of date docs are worse than no docs | 17:17 |
| GunnarHj | mhall119: I can scream for help re desktop. | 17:18 |
| pmatulis | and having samba3 in Xenial is reaally out of date | 17:18 |
| mhall119 | thanks GunnarHj | 17:18 |
| dsmythies | we need subject matter expert inout for every section of the serverguide. I do not understand why doc contribution is not manditory for canonical employees. | 17:18 |
| mhall119 | #action GunnarHj to call for help on desktop docs | 17:18 |
| meetingology | ACTION: GunnarHj to call for help on desktop docs | 17:18 |
| mhall119 | dsmythies: who was the last SME you had helping with those docs? | 17:19 |
| dsmythies | what is SME | 17:19 |
| mhall119 | subject matter expert | 17:19 |
| dsmythies | Srge Hallyen did a huge section on virtualisation. | 17:20 |
| pmatulis | dsmythies: interesting question. i try to push in that direction, in my own way | 17:20 |
| pmatulis | dsmythies: yes, he does LXC. that reminds me, we need a huge section on LXD now ;) | 17:20 |
| mhall119 | stgraber might be able to help with that too | 17:21 |
| hggdh | LXC/D and libvirt | 17:21 |
| mhall119 | dsmythies: have you asked either of them to help with the server docs? | 17:21 |
| pmatulis | i know that they would like to help, but they're overloaded with other stuff | 17:22 |
| dsmythies | I told Serge a few times how very grateful we were for his conrtibution. Otherwise I have no idea who to ask. | 17:23 |
| pmatulis | i mentioned canonical doing upstream LXD docs. that may happen, but not in the near future. this can help, but not by much in the grand scheme | 17:23 |
| mhall119 | dsmythies: I'd recommend asking stgraber for help documenting LXD, he might even have some stuff already written than just needs to be converted to wiki markup | 17:23 |
| knome | it would totally help if there was some general leadership for docs from canoncial | 17:24 |
| knome | i don't mean there needs to be one person doing that only, but some sort of point-of-contact who could dedicate a few hours per week for it | 17:25 |
| pmatulis | knome: what sort of leadership do you mean. that only takes a few hours per week? | 17:25 |
| mhall119 | knome: what can someone from Canonical do that others can't? Is there some access or information that only we have? | 17:25 |
| dsmythies | mhall119: I don't know who stgraber is. pmatulis: can you take this? | 17:26 |
| pmatulis | like i said, i've already talked to those guys | 17:26 |
| mhall119 | dsmythies: he's the tech lead on LXD, he's written several blog posts about it too | 17:26 |
| knome | mhall119, no information, but it would be helpful to see somebody overlooking it all | 17:26 |
| knome | currently, i don't feel a strong leadership for the whole of the docs team | 17:26 |
| knome | decisions are hard to make and lately it has looked like it's impossible | 17:26 |
| knome | nobody is willing to take the leadership responsility or doesn't have the time for it | 17:27 |
| mhall119 | knome: right, I understand the need for leadership, but in my mind that could be somebody from the community as much as somebody from canonical | 17:27 |
| knome | +bi | 17:27 |
| dsmythies | knome: I agree, re-leadership. | 17:27 |
| knome | i can be somebody from the community, but since nobody has stepped up... | 17:27 |
| mhall119 | understood | 17:27 |
| belkinsa | Maybe we need one from Canonical and one from the Community? | 17:27 |
| knome | of course ubuntu/canonical can just ignore documentation (because who reads any?!) but i don't agree it's a good idea | 17:28 |
| pmatulis | it would be great if we could have specifics on what your want such leadership to do. afaics, it's more we need a few persons to motivate people to help. without contributors there's nothing to manage/lead | 17:29 |
| belkinsa | It's nearing 17:30, but it seems that we don't have anyone from the QA team yet. | 17:29 |
| mhall119 | ok, this sounds like something where the community team in canonical should get involved, to advocate for employees to contribute more to docs, can somebody send an email us requesting that? I'll advocate for it in our next team call | 17:29 |
| knome | pmatulis, from my point of view, we need somebody who has enough time and vision to lead the team and guide it into the right direction | 17:30 |
| dsmythies | for serverguide, I can e-mail. | 17:30 |
| knome | i'm not talking even about the serverguide... i'm talking about the whole team | 17:30 |
| pleia2 | at the very least, someone who can nudge contributors to do something, hannie over in the ubuntu-manual team has quite an active crew and all she does is ask | 17:31 |
| knome | one of the things the leader from canonical could do is talk with other people on canonical on docs we need | 17:31 |
| mhall119 | knome: that's something the community team can do | 17:32 |
| dsmythies | belkinsa: would e-mail go to that address on your reminder e-mail ( community-council@lists.ubuntu.com ) ? | 17:32 |
| knome | and maybe some of the issues and disagreements that have led the team not being able to make decisions or take action could be resolved with the help from the community team | 17:33 |
| knome | for example: what do we do in general with the community wiki? | 17:33 |
| belkinsa | dsmythies, um, yes. | 17:33 |
| pleia2 | the wiki threads always get away from us | 17:33 |
| knome | (some want it shut down, some want to keep it as is, some want to change the platform...) | 17:33 |
| mhall119 | dsmythies: that goes to the CC, but not to the community team in canonical | 17:33 |
| pleia2 | knome: nods | 17:34 |
| knome | and this is not the only issue the team has trouble with | 17:34 |
| mhall119 | knome: can you email the community team asking for us to drum up some docs help from inside the company? | 17:34 |
| pleia2 | or I can | 17:35 |
| GunnarHj | knome: What, except for different opinions on the wiki, do we have *trouble* with? | 17:35 |
| pmatulis | it seems the community is the best entity to decide what to do with the community wiki | 17:35 |
| pleia2 | GunnarHj: different opinions, no one to decide | 17:35 |
| knome | pleia2, i'll help you get that done | 17:35 |
| pleia2 | knome: ok, we'll etherpad later | 17:35 |
| knome | GunnarHj, many alternatives have been proposed, but nothing has happened | 17:35 |
| knome | clearly, the situation can't go on like it does now | 17:35 |
| mhall119 | #action pleia2 and knome to request help from the Canonical Community Team in recruiting documentation help from inside Canonical | 17:36 |
| meetingology | ACTION: pleia2 and knome to request help from the Canonical Community Team in recruiting documentation help from inside Canonical | 17:36 |
| knome | but there is always somebody who says we can't move on either, because they don't like the direction somebody is proposing (and willing to take action on) | 17:36 |
| pmatulis | knome: that's due to a lack of interest from the community. canonical cannot force the community to "be interested" | 17:36 |
| knome | pmatulis, of course not, but if the community isn't "interested", why are all attempts to make the wiki work blocked? | 17:37 |
| mhall119 | knome: pleia2: if the docs team contributors could recommend a course of action on the wiki software, that would certainly help | 17:37 |
| knome | mhall119, they can't. | 17:37 |
| knome | mhall119, that's one of the problems we need external help from | 17:37 |
| knome | (and when i say they, i mean "us") | 17:37 |
| mhall119 | knome: can't make a recommendation? or can't agree on one? | 17:37 |
| pleia2 | can't agree on one | 17:37 |
| mhall119 | ok | 17:37 |
| pleia2 | and we need input from IS too | 17:38 |
| knome | can't agree on one, even if specific solutions are proposed and volunteers are ready to take that action | 17:38 |
| pleia2 | we sent them recommendations on how to fix spam, and haven't heard anything | 17:38 |
| mhall119 | pleia2: in an RT? | 17:38 |
| pmatulis | knome: that's true. i proposed to change the format of the serverguide from xml to markdown but i got shouted down. everyone has a dissenting opinion, which just lowers any chance of people getting motivated | 17:38 |
| pleia2 | mhall119: yep, same RT I've shared many times | 17:38 |
| mhall119 | ack, I'll add that to my previous action to see why the wiki is locked down again | 17:38 |
| knome | pmatulis, this is exactly the problem; even if you volunteered to do the whole conversion from xml to markdown, there is always somebody that disagrees loudly and then things stall. | 17:39 |
| knome | pmatulis, which is why i'm seeking for leadership to the team | 17:39 |
| pleia2 | knome: exactly | 17:39 |
| knome | (and since that can't be found from inside the team, i'm pointing my finger to canonical) | 17:39 |
| pmatulis | knome: but then we run the risk of being "managed by canonical" and that's another can of worms. but sure, it's worth a try | 17:39 |
| knome | i'm not saying the team should be canonical-driven in the sense that they tell us what we need to do | 17:40 |
| knome | but since the team clearly can't make any decisions or get things rolling, it would help to have somebody from the outside working with us | 17:40 |
| pleia2 | the fact is, no one is volunteering, so I think we need someone who is paid to help nudge us along | 17:40 |
| pmatulis | i've always felt that there should be a Canonical community guy (whatever they're called) in charge of documentation | 17:40 |
| pleia2 | or else we won't have 16.04 docs | 17:40 |
| mhall119 | how is the docs team governed currently? Is there an admin team or council or something? | 17:40 |
| hggdh | pmatulis: +1 | 17:40 |
| pleia2 | mhall119: nothing | 17:41 |
| pleia2 | there is no leader, the CC owns the team | 17:41 |
| knome | the other issue with not having clear leadership is that there are leaders for subteams like the serverguide, desktop docs, community wiki and whatever | 17:41 |
| mhall119 | perhaps that's somethig to consider putting in place, to make decision making easer and supported | 17:41 |
| hggdh | the thing here is because nobody can agree on a specific action, no action is taken. End result is stagnation | 17:41 |
| belkinsa | Maybe a board of leaders could help the team. Maybe three from each sub-team, wiki, sever, and wiki. | 17:41 |
| knome | and in some wicked way it always feels like the people who aren't even working with X always know what is best for X | 17:41 |
| knome | (without pointing fingers at anybody) | 17:42 |
| pleia2 | the CC owns the team because individuals who did in the past drifted off and then we got blocked on releases, but no one has been able/willing to volunteer to take their place | 17:42 |
| knome | belkinsa, please, no | 17:42 |
| knome | belkinsa, we don't need bureucracy | 17:42 |
| pleia2 | belkinsa: plus, there are no volunteers for one leader, let alone a board :) | 17:42 |
| hggdh | sowe need clear directions. | 17:42 |
| belkinsa | Alright. | 17:42 |
| hggdh | this means *one* leader | 17:42 |
| knome | one leader that has a vision of the big picture, yes | 17:43 |
| mhall119 | pleia2: what do you think about creating a docs-council (or whatever name) to be the decision-making body for the docs team? | 17:43 |
| knome | :| | 17:43 |
| hggdh | a rose any anoy other name... | 17:43 |
| pleia2 | mhall119: not a fan, and I doubt we could staff it | 17:43 |
| knome | mhall119, how does a council help when the same people who would be in it can't decide on the things now? | 17:44 |
| hggdh | *any other | 17:44 |
| pleia2 | if we had volunteers we would have self organized a leadership team already | 17:44 |
| * hggdh has to *really* pay attention to mind & fingers coordination | 17:44 | |
| mhall119 | knome: smaller number of people | 17:44 |
| pleia2 | but the problem is there are a lot of people with opinions and none to do work | 17:44 |
| knome | mhall119, the active people *are* a small number of people already | 17:44 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I think all the active people are here right now | 17:45 |
| knome | a clear direction from "above" would likely attract more contributors too | 17:45 |
| pmatulis | hopefully this will mean consolidating our efforts. the help wiki, the ubuntu manual, and the actual documentation dilutes the precious resources we have | 17:45 |
| mhall119 | knome: and are those the same people who don't agree on how to proceed? | 17:45 |
| knome | mhall119, yes. | 17:45 |
| mhall119 | ok | 17:45 |
| pleia2 | we can start with our email | 17:46 |
| mhall119 | alright, so I can offer help from the community team in finding contributors inside of Canonical, but without anybody volunteering to take a leadership role I'm not sure how we're going to solve any long-term planning issues | 17:46 |
| pleia2 | sometimes it just takes some energy for leaders to emerge, we can revisit in 6 months | 17:47 |
| dsmythies | pmatulis: Your serverguide example was unfair. You should tell the whole story: You didn't have an overall project plan with viable timeline, nor had you thought through the translations workflow. It wasn't shotdown as much as lets make a realistic plan. | 17:47 |
| knome | dsmythies, are you working with the serverguide actively? | 17:48 |
| pmatulis | dsmythies: let's say that i didn't get any positive feedback then | 17:48 |
| dsmythies | Knome: I am stuck trying to get a 16.04 server working. But yes, then I will be. | 17:48 |
| pmatulis | dsmythies: i'm curious what issues you are having installing 16.04 | 17:49 |
| knome | dsmythies, ok, did you ask for the details you are asking now when pmatulis suggested this? | 17:49 |
| mhall119 | ok, we have an action for pleia2 and knome already to contact the CCT, are there any other action items we can take from this discussion? | 17:49 |
| dsmythies | Yes, it fizzled, as far as I recall. | 17:50 |
| mhall119 | any other actions that you can think of can be brought to the CC over email | 17:50 |
| dsmythies | pmatulis: I'll conintue with you over on ubuntu-docs channel. | 17:51 |
| mhall119 | we've run way over time for this part of the meeting, flocculant are you here for the QA team? | 17:51 |
| pmatulis | mhall119: propose opening a community manager position for documentation? | 17:51 |
| belkinsa | mhall119, thank you. | 17:51 |
| dsmythies | Thanks all. | 17:51 |
| flocculant | mhall119: sorry - too late now | 17:51 |
| GunnarHj | Thanks | 17:51 |
| belkinsa | Not a problem. | 17:52 |
| mhall119 | pmatulis: you mean a new employee? | 17:52 |
| pmatulis | mhall119: yep | 17:52 |
| mhall119 | flocculant: would it better to reschedule the QA team's checkin? | 17:52 |
| mhall119 | pmatulis: that's not my call, it would have to be approved by higher-ups | 17:52 |
| flocculant | mhall119: ask Nick | 17:52 |
| mhall119 | he doesn't hire people either :) | 17:53 |
| wxl | mhall119: yeah balloons is head of the show. i can represent, but i usually don't get in until about now. | 17:53 |
| hggdh | I think we do not have an option, time is almost up | 17:53 |
| mhall119 | oh, ask him about the meeting, I get you now | 17:53 |
| mhall119 | balloons: do you want to reschedule so the QA team gets more time? | 17:53 |
| belkinsa | Oh! I was asked by tsimonq2 to give news about a QA API, but balloons would know more. | 17:53 |
| flocculant | mhall119: more than 6 minutes - that'd be good :) | 17:54 |
| belkinsa | Clock's ticking. flocculant, do you have any updates? | 17:56 |
| mhall119 | ok, I will tack it on to the end of the calendar schedule, so it'll be in June, is that okay? | 17:56 |
| flocculant | belkinsa: what? | 17:56 |
| belkinsa | Nevermind. | 17:56 |
| wxl | mhall119: *I* would like it to be starting about now. i don't know what balloons thinks, though, and he's the most important one. | 17:57 |
| mhall119 | wxl: sure, if you have an update or a topic, go ahead and start | 17:57 |
| * mhall119 hopes nobody needs this channel in the next hour, if so we can move it to #ubuntu-quality | 17:58 | |

| mhall119 | wxl: oh, sorry, we're always at the same day and time | 17:58 |
| mhall119 | but DST might change when it happens in your local time :) | 17:58 |
| wxl | yeah ok :) | 17:58 |
| wxl | so the only thing i can really comment on is that through GCI we got some changes to the ISO tracker | 17:59 |
| mhall119 | #action Reschedule QA team checkin to June 17th | 17:59 |
| meetingology | ACTION: Reschedule QA team checkin to June 17th | 17:59 |
| wxl | that and tsimonq2 has been working on an API for the tracker | 17:59 |
| mhall119 | wxl: what does the API do? | 17:59 |
| wxl | with the ultimate goal of being able to expose better data on what sort of stuff has been going on | 17:59 |
| wxl | mhall119: well, originally, he was just going to learn the php API but got annoyed with it and its lack of documentation, so he went python and created a sphinx autodoc | 18:00 |
| wxl | mhall119: so now we have, IMHO, an easier to use API, with better documentation | 18:00 |
| mhall119 | win-win | 18:00 |
| wxl | yep yep | 18:00 |
| wxl | and there will be more improvements to come as a result of that | 18:01 |
| wxl | i know flocculant has been working on some further improvements to the tracker as well | 18:01 |
| wxl | beyond that, at least from the guise of lubuntu, we're moving well on our way to the release of 16.04. working on testing some upstream bug fixes to LXDE | 18:02 |
| mhall119 | alright, unless there is anything else that needs to be discussed right now, let's wrap this meeting up and work on those action items | 18:02 |
| wxl | meanwhile, we just got the lxqt metapackage in the repos for xenial, so we can really start testing it for release in 16.10 in earnest | 18:03 |
| * mhall119 is looking forward to seeing lxqt evolve | 18:03 | |
| * wxl is too! | 18:03 | |
| wxl | one other thing i'll mention and then i've exhausted myself :) | 18:03 |
| wxl | we have had some discussion about the milestone checklist tracking for those milestone's ubuntu's not been involved in | 18:04 |
| wxl | it's been the case that flexiondotorg, flocculant, and myself have invariably been the people doing it | 18:04 |
| wxl | so we've tried to do some work to encourage others | 18:04 |
| hggdh | thank you | 18:04 |
| wxl | but also has some discussion about letting non-release team folks do it. i have dedicated folks within our qa team that can easily herd cats/write announcements, so it's a relief that no one's opposed to that | 18:05 |
| mhall119 | wxl: sounds good | 18:05 |
| wxl | the benefit is that we have more people trained and those of us that usually do it will be less irritated XD | 18:05 |
| mhall119 | win-win again :) | 18:06 |
| wxl | yuup | 18:06 |
| mhall119 | alright, thanks everyone for the great meeting, sorry to the QA team for having to reschedule you | 18:06 |
| mhall119 | as always, you can contact the CC by email anytime | 18:06 |
| wxl | thanks for the check in mhall119, belkinsa, hggdh and the rest of the cc :) | 18:06 |

| marcoceppi | Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu Membership Review Board for the 2000 UTC meeting for March 3, 2016. | 20:01 |
| marcoceppi | The wiki page for the Review Board is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards | 20:01 |
| marcoceppi | We will attempt to get through all of the applicants that have added themselves to that list before today's meeting. If we are unable to make it through the entire list due to time constraints, then at the next meeting we will pick up where we left off. | 20:01 |
| marcoceppi | The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO). | 20:01 |
| marcoceppi | Each applicant should introduce themselves (1-5 sentences) and provide links to their Ubuntu Wiki page. After the introduction the members of the Membership Review Board will review the pages and, if needed, ask the applicant further questions. | 20:01 |
| marcoceppi | During this time it is encouraged for other members of the community to show their support for the applicant. Do not be alarmed if the members of the Membership Review Board are quiet during this time; they are most likely reading wiki/launchpad/forum/other pages and deciding how they are going to vote. | 20:01 |
| marcoceppi | When the board is ready to vote, they will publicly vote in the channel with either +1, 0, or -1 (for membership, abstain, and against membership, respectively). If the sum of those numbers amounts to at least +1, then the applicant is now an official Ubuntu member! (feel free congratulate them!) | 20:01 |
| marcoceppi | #votesrequired 4 | 20:01 |
| meetingology | votes now need 4 to be passed | 20:01 |

| wxl | there is no need to be sorry, dipraw. we are all encouraging pavlushka ! | 20:28 |
| dipraw | i am facing some problem withmy internet connection here | 20:28 |
