sil2100fossfreedom: hello!19:11
fossfreedomhi!19:11
sil2100fossfreedom: could you introduce yourself?19:11
fossfreedomMy name is David Mohammed - also known as fossfreedom - and I am the project lead of Ubuntu Budgie (formerly budgie-remix).19:11
sil2100https://wiki.ubuntu.com/fossfreedom/UbuntuBudgieDevApplication <- link to the application in mention19:11
fossfreedomKey responsibilities is the maintenance of our budgie packages -through the QA expected by the Ubuntu release team ...19:11
fossfreedomand meeting the release cadence - our packages are a mixture of Debian (sync with Ubuntu) and Ubuntu specific packages.19:11
fossfreedomThanks in advance for considering my (our) application to be able to maintain our packages within Ubuntu.19:12
BenCWith the amount of time you’ve been around the community, I’m a bit surprised to not see any endorsements.19:13
sil2100BenC: there are endorsements19:13
sil2100BenC: look at the bottom of the page, they're below the template19:13
BenCAh, I see now.19:13
rbasakfossfreedom: this packageset doesn't yet exist, correct?19:13
fossfreedomcorrect19:13
BenCThanks19:13
rbasakDo we know what packages would be in the set?19:14
fossfreedomlisted at the top of the application19:14
rbasakAh19:14
rbasakThanks19:14
fossfreedomooo - saw a mistake19:14
fossfreedomthe indicator applet has been accepted in debian19:14
fossfreedomits no longer new19:14
rbasakOK19:15
fossfreedomand our ubuntu-budgie-meta has been sponsored19:15
rbasakWhich of these packages are Ubuntu-only?19:17
fossfreedomjust a sec19:17
rbasakAnd are there any packages here that are derived from Debian and that you don't maintain in Debian?19:17
fossfreedombudgie-desktop-environment, budgie-artwork, budgie-welcome, budgie-wallpapers, ubuntu-budgie-meta19:18
fossfreedomAll others listed are our packages that have been sponsored and accepted in debian19:19
rbasakSo to make sure I haven't misunderstood, the answer to my Debian maintenance question is "no"?19:20
fossfreedomIf I've understood the question - no derived debian packages - they are either in debian and sync'd or are ubuntu specific19:21
sil2100fossfreedom: a standard question from me - are you aware of how proposed migration works in Ubuntu?19:21
fossfreedombefore the debian freeze date - yes sponsored, and auto sync'd I believe.19:22
rbasakfossfreedom: no, I mean: apart from Ubuntu specific packages, is there any package in your requested list that you *do not* maintain in Debian?19:22
fossfreedomno.19:23
rbasakRight, that answers my question - thanks :)19:23
fossfreedomsure.  sorry about that!19:23
rbasakfossfreedom: for the packages in Debian, what sort of uploads do you expect will be necessary in Ubuntu?19:24
fossfreedomIntend to maintain the debian specific packages via debian.  Only after the various freeze dates would I want to look at critical and stability fixes specific to ubuntu coming from upstream19:25
rbasakOK. And if we do grant you upload access today, under what circumstances must you seek approval before uploading to Ubuntu?19:26
rbasakOK. And if we do grant you upload access today, under what circumstances must you seek approval _anyway_ before uploading to Ubuntu?19:26
sil2100fossfreedom: (please also note my question above ^ after answering rbasak)19:27
fossfreedomnot sure I understand - if I have doubts - will ask via ubuntu-motu19:27
rbasakfossfreedom: under what release cycle freeze conditions must you seek approval before uploading, and from whom?19:28
fossfreedomk - think you are referring to feature freeze?19:28
fossfreedomrelease managers - but not sure who they are - will need to ask19:29
rbasakThere are other freezes too, but let's start with feature freeze.19:30
fossfreedomsil2100 - are you referring to sending first to proposed.  testing, confirming before moving to universe?19:30
rbasakWhat can you upload when only feature freeze is in effect, and what can you not upload during the same time?19:30
fossfreedombasically my understanding is concentrate on bugs and stability issues.19:31
fossfreedomdont introduce new features19:31
fossfreedomespecially dont break libraries - api's etc.19:31
sil2100fossfreedom: let's say there's such a situation: you upload your package to ubuntu, the package goes to, let's say, zesty-proposed and stays there for over a week - what would you do? Is this a normal situation?19:31
fossfreedomin that circumstance I would hop into ubuntu-motu and seek guidance.19:32
fossfreedomno - before freeze that would be most unexpected I noticed19:32
fossfreedomafter freeze - depends on the issue at hand.19:33
rbasakdepends> can you be more specific?19:34
sil2100fossfreedom: ok, I guess that's a good start - do you know http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html and update_output.txt ?19:34
fossfreedomlets say the problem at hand is complicated - involving more than one package - possibly concerning a package that we depend upon but is not ours.  Yes - in that example, I would expect things will take longer to check and double check19:35
sil2100In case you didn't, it's a good thing to bookmark and to look at once you see your package being stuck in -proposed19:35
* cyphermox is around19:36
rbasakcyphermox: o/19:36
sil2100Anyway, any other questions to fossfreedom ?19:36
fossfreedomnoted . thanks for the link19:36
micahgfossfreedom: why did you overwrite the changelog when you uploaded a new version? http://launchpadlibrarian.net/296645594/ubuntu-budgie-meta_0.0.1_0.1.diff.gz19:36
fossfreedomthat was a bit of confusion .  Apparently daniel uploaded but myself and mapreri didnt know - maprari also sponsored and uploaded over the top19:37
rbasakI think I'm done with questions, thanks.19:39
cyphermoxwe normally deal with this in two steps, first packageset creation, then joining the packageset.19:40
cyphermoxor just PPU19:40
rbasakIMHO, we should vote on granting fossfreedom upload rights first, and then think about what to do wrt. packagesets/PPU. Because if we don't move to grant fossfreedom upload rights, then the packageset discussion is pointless.19:41
* BenC agrees19:42
rbasakPresumably what we'd give fossfreedom upload rights to (whether via a packageset or PPU) is uncontroversial?19:42
sil2100Agreed19:42
cyphermoxwell, my vote would be based on what the packageset is, TBH19:42
micahgyeah, usually packageset comes first19:42
micahgbut we can table the actions on creation if no one is granted rights19:42
rbasakOK19:42
rbasakWhatever sil2100 wants to do I guess, as he's chairing!19:42
sil2100Since we already did review the applicant and a 'recommended' set of packages for the packageset has been proposed, I would say we should vote basing on the current knowledge19:43
cyphermoxwhat does that mean?19:44
sil2100I mean that we should vote as if the packageset in mention had the packages as proposed in the application19:44
sil2100And in case the packageset ends up different, we can then bring this up on the meeting19:45
micahgis that list actually defined?19:45
micahgah, yeah, I see it now19:45
sil2100budgie-desktop, budgie-desktop-environment, budgie-artwork, budgie-welcome, budgie-wallpapers, arc-theme, moka-icon-theme, faba-icon-theme, rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar, budgie-indicator-applet19:45
fossfreedom+ ubuntu-budgie-meta19:46
sil2100cyphermox: would you be fine with this?19:47
cyphermoxjust a second, almost done looking this over19:47
sil2100I don't want to over-extend the meeting as we still have another applicant for today19:47
sil2100Ok, thanks19:47
cyphermoxyeah ok to vote19:50

cyphermox+1 there is evidence of involvement, but I can't see much in terms of uploads (though some are obviosly maintained in Debian directly). On the basis that this is for a new flavor and that the risk is low (leaf packages specific to the flavor) I'm inclined to acquiesce.19:56

cyphermoxI would strongly strongly suggest pinging people on IRC when you need sponsoring. I know I'm always happy to sponsor packages and give review, and later add testimonial to applications19:57
fossfreedomk - sure - Jeremy has done the vast majority of uploads and sponsoring for the team19:59

rbasakSo I think that's not quorate?20:04
sil2100Yeah, I think it isn't20:04
micahgright20:05
sil2100So we'll have to move it to the mailing list20:05
rbasakfossfreedom: I wrote up my reasons for my -1 ready to paste. I'll do that now.20:05
rbasakThis was not an easy decision, as you can probably tell from the votes! I20:05
rbasakreally appreciate your contributions to Ubuntu, and in maintaining Ubuntu20:05
rbasakBudgie for us. Personally, I'd be +1 in granting you Ubuntu Contributing20:05
rbasakDeveloper status, though that would require a further formal DMB vote.20:05
rbasakHowever, I reget that I'm not satisfied with your understanding of the Ubuntu release process. I think this is important, particularly for a flavour lead.20:05
rbasakFor example, the key differentiation for uploading during feature freeze is the simple criteron of whether the upload incorporates just bugfixes or feature changes, but you seemed to be unable to state this.20:05
cyphermoxit's most definitely not a motion carried outcome; as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperMembershipBoard/KnowledgeBase20:05
rbasakI am satisfied with the other aspects of your application.20:05
sil2100fossfreedom: so for now your application is still being processed20:06
sil2100fossfreedom: since you didn't get the required number of votes we'll contintue this through the ML to get the remaining DMB memebers votes20:06
fossfreedomthanks - will continue normally motu sponsoring.  We have a number of updates to make.  thanks all for your time.20:06
rbasakfossfreedom: I'm sorry we couldn't decide in this meeting. We do all appreciate your contributions and hope you will continue regardless of the outcome here. Despite our individual opinions I'm sure we all want to get you to the stage that we're unamimously happy to grant you upload access.20:07
sil2100Let me put an action item for this20:07
sil2100#action sil2100 to handle fossfreedom's application further through e-mail20:07

slashdrbasak, as you can see I'm not dedicated to a specific package or pkgset mostly due to the nature of my work at Canonical where I have to fix whaterver is broken (main, universe, ...) so I expect to do upload of course when a problem arise and also sponsor other ppl debdiff to help the community, ....20:17
sil2100slashd: what would be the primary reason for you to apply for MOTU?20:18
slashdrbasak, libpam-sshauth AFAI remember20:18
slashdsil2100, I want to involve myself more in Ubuntu development, helping fixing issue, help other in sponsoring debdiff, ...20:19
cyphermoxslashd: the point of rbasak's question is that we give upload rights after proof of involvement, rather than "because I would like to X"20:20
slashdcyphermox, right, I agree that most of my work has been done for main pkg20:21
sil2100Any other questions?20:22
rbasakFTR, I have worked with slashd on SRUs.20:22
slashdrbasak, cyphermox, I simply think that being MOTU is a good step toward gaining upload experiences ..... and eventually will earn some strip to help even more in other areas20:22
rbasakAIUI, that's the main outcome of his work at Canonical, since from my perspective at least he mainly seems to handle requests that come from Canonical customers, and they generally and understandably tend to be about stable releases.20:23
cyphermoxyep20:23
rbasakFrom that perspective, I'd like to see slashd being able to upload SRUs directly.20:23
cyphermoxwell, he still won't, for the most part20:23
micahgslashd: well, as cyphermox mentioned, we usually want the experience before the upload rights20:24
rbasakI'm not sure if MOTU is the right path for that, unless slashd is actually making significant contributions to universe, or is being blocked from doing so. I don't think he is.20:24
rbasakIt's a new thing I think that Canonical STS employees are contributing to Ubuntu in this way.20:24
rbasakI can only recall caribou as the other person doing this.20:24
rbasakSo perhaps this is something the DMB needs to tackle.20:24
cyphermoxand to illustrate my point, " being MOTU is a good step toward gaining upload experiences" is precisely what we don't want, and rather give MOTU based on having seen enough evidence that someone knows what they're doing enough to not break universe20:24
slashdrbasak for now there is only caribou yes20:24
rbasakI don't think it's appropriate to force Canonical STS employees contribution to Ubuntu SRUs in main to have to make unrelated contributions to MOTU first as a path to getting upload access to the stuff they're actually helping with.20:25
rbasakNor do I think it's appropriate to grant MOTU to people not actually contributing to universe.20:25
sil2100Ok, should we maybe start the vote? Or are there any questions to slashd before we continue?20:26
rbasakSo, I'm -1 on giving slashd MOTU, but I think it's an action item for the DMB to work out how to fix this so that there's a direct way for slashd and his colleagues to get upload access to do SRUs in main.20:26
micahgrbasak: SRUs go into a queue anyways, it doesn't help so much to have "upload rights" for SRUs unless there were a high volume, and I don't think we're seeing that20:26
cyphermoxthere isn't really a way to do that aside from being able to upload in main though20:26
slashdrbasak, I know another sts memeber is about to apply for coredev in Jan so this point I think would be nice to be addressed20:27
micahgright, but that could be set per-series if need be20:27
cyphermoxie. SRUs are just an upload, the difference of being stuck in the unapproved queue is just because of the state of the release20:27
cyphermoxwell, i suppose it could be, but that wouldn't be up to the DMB to statute on.20:28
rbasakYeah, we could tell Launchpad to allow some new ~ubuntu-sru-uploaders team access to upload to stables but not development.20:28
rbasakI believe it would be within the DMB's remit to set this up if we decided it is appropriate.20:28
cyphermoxI don't think deciding whether it's appropriate is DMB-level20:29
sil2100Do we want an action item for this?20:29
rbasakAnd then slashd and his colleagues would have a clear path forward, whether or not you think slashd himself has enough of a track record right now.20:29
sil2100e.g. for us to remember this for the next meetings?20:29
rbasakI'll happily take an action to take it to the list.20:29
rbasakcyphermox: so we disagree, which is fine. How about: after I take this to the ML, you ask the TB to decide whether it is within our remit?20:29
cyphermoxsure. whatever :)20:30
sil2100#action rbasak to start a discussion on the ML regarding the possibility of setting up a specialized team with access to upload packages to stable releases only20:30
meetingologyACTION: rbasak to start a discussion on the ML regarding the possibility of setting up a specialized team with access to upload packages to stable releases only20:30
sil2100Phew, hope this more or less outlines it20:30
sil2100Anyway, let's head for the vote20:30
rbasakslashd: would you like us to proceed to vote on MOTU, or would you like to withdraw that pending the outcome of my action?20:30
cyphermoxmy point is it's a rather large exception and we don't create the packageset ourselves20:30
micahgI see an average of 3 uploads a month here, I'm not sure the volume warrants special consideration20:30
rbasakmicahg: understood. We can discuss that on the ML. I'm just concerned that we're stifling progress by not having this path, even if it is discussed and leads to "no action without more volume".20:31
slashdrbasak, let's see the outcome of you action I think, can you put me on CC on this ?20:31
rbasakslashd: I really don't mind whether you want the vote or not. Up to you.20:31
rbasakCC> sure.20:32
rbasakOK. So are we done with slashd's application for now then?20:32
slashdbrookswarner, chiluk, interesting discussion here for us ^^20:32
sil2100Ok, so if I understand that: no vote today on this?20:32
rbasakThat's my understanding, yes.20:32
slashdthanks for your time guys, I think we can go ahead with rbasak action item, and then depending on the result will see what is next20:33
sil2100Ok then20:33

sil2100Phew, thanks everyone! Sorry for this meeting being a bit rough20:34
rbasaksil2100: thank you for chairing!20:35
fossfreedomsigh - thanks for your time sil2100 - much appreciated.20:35
rbasakAnd thank you to fossfreedom and slashd for your patience.20:35
fossfreedomcheers rbasak.20:35
slashdrbasak, tks for making this mtg happen and for taking ownership on this action20:35
fossfreedomCan I ask a question please rbasak?20:36
sil2100I'll send out the e-mail with the votes for fossfreedom later today20:38
sil2100Should I send it to devel-permissions@ as well, or just to fossfreedom + DMB members?20:38
sil2100I suppose this should be public, right?20:38
rbasakfossfreedom: sure. If it's a general Ubuntu development/process question it should probably be in #ubuntu-devel.20:40
rbasak(or #ubuntu-motu, etc)20:40
rbasaksil2100: yes, public. The meeting was already public, as is fossfreedom's application :)20:41
rbasaksil2100: so devel-permissions@ I think.20:41
fossfreedomquestion of process for DMB20:41
rbasakfossfreedom: sure, go ahead.20:41
fossfreedomSo the result effectively puts Ubuntu Budgie progress on hold whilst the mailing list member consider?20:41
fossfreedommembers20:41
rbasakfossfreedom: no, not at all. You should still be able to get any sponsored uploads you need.20:42
rbasakfossfreedom: if finding a sponsor becomes a problem for you, please email the ubuntu-devel@ list asking for sponsorship.20:42
fossfreedomk - I have made a pull request against lp:ubuntu-cdimage - just wondering if this stops this because there is no formal packageset20:43
rbasakfossfreedom: effectively, all sponsorship means is "code review required from an approved reviewer".20:43
rbasakfossfreedom: not having direct access to upload should never stop any kind of progress apart from the delay/inconvenience in finding someone who can.20:43
rbasakfossfreedom: all Ubuntu core devs can do everything the DMB can grant.20:44
fossfreedomah - so just need to be patient then whoever processes lp:ubuntu-cdimage issues and requests?20:44
rbasakfossfreedom: some chasing may be required. If so, please ask on IRC in #ubuntu-devel or on the ubuntu-devel@ list.20:45
rbasakfossfreedom: especially if the request is not in the sponsorship queue at http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/index.html20:45
fossfreedomok - thanks for the hint.  I'll add the ubuntu-sponsor tag for the bug-report.  Also will seek guidance in ubuntu-devel20:47
rbasakfossfreedom: if you want to continue this discussion, let's move to #ubuntu-devel. This isn't particular DMB-specific - anyone can answer.20:47
rbasakAnd lurkers may decide to review and sponsor your merge proposal too :)20:47
fossfreedomwill do!20:47
fossfreedomcheers20:47
chiluksil2100, rbasak, cyphermox, sorry to re-open this, as I'll be applying for coredev come january. One observation I'd like to make though is that process has always been to fix development releases prior to fixing released series. as such members of the STS team wouldn't gain much by being part of a new ~ubuntu-sru-uploaders team, as we'd still have to wait on uploading to devel.21:13
chilukthe only time it would help is when the fix is already in one of the newer serie's..21:15
rbasakchiluk: good point.21:18
chilukrbasak: did this discussion move somewhere else?21:19
rbasakNo, it ended here. I have an action to take it to the ML.21:19
chilukrbasak, and if it wasn't completely clear, our team has no desire to circumvent the SRU process, and think that it's healthy to require at least one additional review *(from ubuntu-sru team), after uploading.21:20
rbasakchiluk: I didn't think any different :)21:20
chilukok "ubuntu-sru-uploaders" is slightly ambiguous naming.21:21
chilukrbasak^^21:21
rbasakchiluk: what I was suggesting is that if there's a thing the DMB can grant such that you can upload SRUs, then that would get through the sponsorship requirement but not ~ubuntu-sru.21:21
chilukyeah that would be helpful.21:21
chilukwe'll abide by what the dmb, and Technical Review board deems proper.21:22
