Unit193ochosi: I know what the problem there is.07:11
Unit193flocculant: Wooo!  May have even fixed it!  After apt update, check  apt list | grep ed,loc  and check what's there.  I deleted xfconf from the PPA quite some time ago, but looks like it never got deleted from LP (just hidden from view), so I hit the delete button a few more times right now and it's no longer in the archive either.07:19
Unit193ochosi: ↑07:20
ochosiUnit193: oh, it was the "new"/unreleased gtk3 port of xfconf?07:22
Unit193Yeah, the crappy one that breaks everything.  Hence why stuff was broken. :D07:22
ochosihumpf07:24
ochosithanks for noticing :)07:24
ochosithat would have been nasty to debug07:24
Unit193I fixed/re-installed/etc my VM.07:25
Unit193ochosi: Howdy.07:33
ochosiand howdy, what's up? :)07:35
Unit193Not much at 0240.07:36
flocculantUnit193: I'll reinstall my vm - and recheck that gtk3 stuff then - purging ppa and re-adding I still see problem07:43
flocculantI notice the ppa is emptier than it was though :)07:43
Unit193flocculant: As of a few minutes ago?  And yeah, pushing them to zesty.  Did you get anything back from that command?07:43
flocculantppa purge worked ok - ppa add appeared to have issues 07:45
flocculantI'll be awake this afternoon :p07:46
bluesabreUnit193, I would have never figured that out11:33
ochosihey bluesabre 12:17
flocculantochosi bluesabre Unit193 - now running gtk3 ppa in zesty here again - at least the few bits left in the ppa12:29
Unit193flocculant: Did you do whatever it was that you were going to do later, btw?22:08
flocculantUnit193: perhaps ...22:09
flocculantif it was gtk3 - then yea - have that now on this machine 22:09
flocculantknome: so I'm back with that really annoying login to admin on x.o and only get my profile thing again :(22:10

knomeyep22:29

bluesabrewoohoo22:33
knomeanything specific we want in the agenda?22:34
bluesabrenothing specific from me22:34
slickymasterwhatie!?!?!?!22:35
knomeslickymaster?22:35
slickymastermeeting today?22:35
knomeslickymaster, council, impromptu22:35
slickymasteroh22:35
slickymastersorry 22:35
knomebut feel free to follow and comment if there's something22:35
bluesabre(surprise!)22:35
knomeochosi, anything for the agenda?22:35
ochosithe only specific thing i would like to finalize (although we have discussed it previously via email) is our communication channels22:36
knomemhm22:36
ochosiwe can also discuss and finalize other generic stuff like voting22:36
ochosibut my presumption is that it'll be the same as with general votes22:36
knomemy other item is the blog article for council that has been under work 22:36
knomeok, so22:36
knome#topic Council communication22:36
ochosigood22:36
knomethis has indeed been discussed before in council-exclusive emails, and the gist is:22:37
knome(correct me if i'm wrong)22:37
knomeeugh, sorry for the delay22:38
bluesabre:)22:38
knomeso the basic gist:22:38
knome- the council decides whether any discussion needs to be private, but mostly it will be public22:39
knome- if a decision is made in private, the reasons behind the decision will still be made public22:39
knome- the council will NOT have a separate mailing list (even a private one) for now22:39
flocculantmmm22:40
knomeanything that needs clarification?22:40
flocculantpoint22:40
knomesure22:40
ochosii'd explicitely say that we'll use the xubuntu devel ml for now22:40
ochosinot just "NO separate ml"22:40
bluesabreyeah, I'd agree with that22:40
knomeochosi, well yeah, that's implied; we'll use the regular communication methods unless we want to discuss something in private22:41
knomebut ok22:41
flocculantwhile I can understand not wanting to do the whole private m/l - that means that discussion that might be private are not ever available to council members in future22:41
flocculantwhich could be an issue perhaps22:41
knomeflocculant, we did discuss that22:41
knomeit's actually very likely that kind of discussion would happen in IRC22:41
knomeso there would have to be some kind of logging for that22:41
flocculantmmm22:42
ochosialso, "the reasons behind the decision will still be made public"22:42
flocculantwell - I'm just making the point is all :) 22:42
ochosithis implies to me that not just the decision but also the gist of the discussion shall be made public22:42
knomeflocculant, sure, wanted to let you know that we did indeed think about it22:42
flocculantochosi: not sure that makes a lot of difference22:42
knomeochosi, indeed22:42
flocculantanyway - point made :)22:43
ochosipoint taken22:43
knomeochosi, wasn't that what we agreed on?22:43
ochosiknome: yup, just wanted to say it expressis verbis22:43
bluesabreDo we want to utilize a tag when communicated over the mailing list, e.g. [COUNCIL] to make it easier to sort out historical discussion?22:43
knomeagain, obviously if it's anything that requires keeping stuff private for intimacy reasons, then it's not going to be released22:43
knomebluesabre, that sounds like we should just create that mailing list :P22:44
knomeand flocculant's point on the -offtopic channel speaks for that too22:44
bluesabreknome, yeah, but we also use [TEAM] for team discussion on the devel list22:44
knomein any case, i don't think that list will be very high traffic22:44
bluesabre(or have in the past)22:45
knomebluesabre, i don't think we'd take "council discussion" to the mailing list22:45
knomei mean...22:45
knomeagain, it feels like it's more suited for IRC and real-time22:45
bluesabreso it would be more, announcements from the council22:45
knomeyes22:45
bluesabrethat's reasonable22:45
knomeand those announcements do not concern the council only, they are whole project, so i'm not sure what the council tag would be for 22:46
knome"this is what the council will force on you all"22:46
knome:P22:46
bluesabre"Ugh, another COUNCIL email"22:46
knome(no, please not like that, i want the council to be as transparent and at the same level as the team922:46
bluesabreright22:46
ochosiyeah22:47
bluesabreso most (if not all) council communication occurs on #xubuntu-devel, announcements are made to the -devel m/l22:47
ochosito me the council is also a safety net against the "single point of failure" XPL22:47
knomeso,22:48
knomeshould it all be expressed this way:22:48
ochosiso not that much active "council stuff" is going to go down in my expectation at least22:48
bluesabreThat's how I also understand it22:48
knome- council will do any discussion-like communication on IRC, announcements and requests for feedback on -devel22:48
knomethat is, for THIS council setup22:48
knomethis isn't something we'll write on the strategy document22:49
knome(but maybe we should consider adding something general there about the public/private discussion part)22:49
ochosiyou mean to not prevent future councils to take a more proactive approach..?22:50
* knome shrugs22:50
bluesabrelargely to just have an official statement on these things should questions or eyebrows be raised22:50
knomewhy do we have a strategy document if the strategy is whatever the majority of currently active people agree on?22:51
knomeof course future councils or whatever can just change the section on the SD22:51
bluesabrecertainly22:52
knomeok, so22:53
knome1) most discussion is public, private only if the council feels it's required for the issue at hand22:53
knome2) if discussion is private, any decisions and the rationale for the decision will be made public, unless making the rational public would infringe personal privacy or something alike22:55
knome3) council discussion will mostly be had in IRC; the xubuntu-devel mailing list is used for any council announcements and requests for feedback22:56
knome4) council announcements will also be announced on the community meetings22:56
ochosisounds good to me22:56
knome5) the council will have scheduled and/or impromptu meetings on #xubuntu-devel; the meeting minutes (and logs) will be sent to the xubuntu-devel mailing list22:57
knomephew22:57
knomedid somebody want to mull over the public/private discussion issue and the decision making leading to a private one?22:59
knomeeg. do we need to express more clearly that the council will not take discussions private unless the council really thinks privacy requires it or it is a really sensitive issue otherwise?22:59
knomeapparently not23:00
knome#action knome to send a summary of the council communication discussion to the ML23:00
meetingologyACTION: knome to send a summary of the council communication discussion to the ML23:00
bluesabreanything that even suggests a lack of transparency or openness is generally going to be frowned upon23:00
Unit193knome: Only thing I can think of is sending the private logs to the team server so that they're more archived for later council members.23:00
knomeUnit193, right, the only "issue" with that is that people not in the council have access to that23:01
knomeagain, not a statement of trust issues, but it's not foolproof23:01
Unit193Indeed, thought of that.23:01
knomealso, does ochosi have access to the server?23:01
knomeor bluesabre?23:01
ochosinope23:02
bluesabrenope23:02
ochosinot that i know of23:02
knomeso again if we want to do something like this, i'd just vote for creating that mailing list23:02
bluesabrecertainly not the council server :D23:02
knomeand sending the meeting logs to the council ML23:02
knomethe ownership of a ML is easy to transfer when the council seats change23:02
slickymasterI think that the ability of those logs being available to future councilmembers is important, imo23:02
knomeyou think, in your opinion23:03
knomei'd never thought of that23:03
knome*trollface*23:03
Unit193knome: Was just an idea as a way to archive them, though yeah it's a bit moot if you do setup the ML after all.23:03
knomei mean instead of doing the weird server setup, just do it on the ML - don't even need to use that for anything else23:04
knomethere is no guarantee that the xubuntu devel server will always exist23:04
bluesabreyeah23:04
knomeso at this point i see no reason to set up anything like this23:06
knome-- however, if a private discussion is needed, the council should reasses the situation23:06
knome+s23:06
knomeok, i think that's clear now :P23:07
knomeanything else on this subject?23:07
ochosinope23:08
ochosii think this is fine23:08
knome#topic Blog article about the council23:08
knomewithout further ado, we have one under draft at http://pad.ubuntu.com/xubuntu-council-article23:09
knomewe probably want "something personal" there too about the council members23:09
bluesabreI can agree with that23:11
bluesabreI'm also for having this in general for our team for anybody that wants to put their name on the site or wiki23:12
knomethere have been talks about an "introducing the xubuntu team" article series for ever...23:12
knomeso anyway, we can likely continue working on that article outside of the official meeting23:13
knomedoes anybody have any ideas what we should/could have there?23:14
ochosito me the structure and content looks fine23:15
ochosiwe can finalize this outside the meeting23:15
knomeoki23:15
knomeanything else?23:16
ochosinope, fine by me23:16
bluesabreI think we're good with that23:16
knomeso anything else on anything else?23:17
knomedoes the general public have any questions for the council?23:18
knome:P23:18
bluesabreI don't think so... I can imagine that our activity (as a single acting body) will be incredibly rare23:18
bluesabreAny questions can be directed to the mailing list and added to the Meetings discussion to be picked up as we go23:22
knomeyes23:22
knomethanks23:22
