[00:31] bluesabre: I/we missed another xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin release, huh. [00:38] Unit193, hard to keep up with that one [00:39] Translation+memleak, grabbed it. [00:39] flocculant, how so? [00:39] You keep doing the important stuff, I'll keep the others off your back. :P [01:00] Unit193, :) [07:37] bluesabre: dragging on time bar with mouse works, selecting somewhere along the bar with the mouse doesn't, > mouse key tries to work [07:41] thought I mentioned it when you were asking about bug 1337786 [07:41] Error: Could not gather data from Launchpad for bug #1337786 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1337786). The error has been logged [07:41] bug 1667786 even [07:41] bug 1667786 in parole (Ubuntu) "Parole 0.9.0 crashes when skipping any video" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1667786 [09:57] do we have any reason not to bump the documentation license up to CC-BY-SA 4.0 (from 2.5)? [09:57] aiui, https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ confirms that this should be ok in terms of license compatibility, but please correct me if i'm wrong... [09:58] checking it knome [10:01] https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2014/04/msg00032.html in regards to 3.0 vs 4.0. Does the license say "or later"? If we're free to, 2.5 is something to get away from. [10:01] does not [10:02] are translations considered contributions? [10:02] i mean in the sense of licenses [10:02] knome, since we'll continue to distribute all the changes made under the same license as the original I don't see why not [10:02] I believe they are, knome [10:02] right, so if we needed to ask contributors for permission, that'd be a lot of people [10:03] Yes, the headers have "Same license as the orig work" [10:04] (But might be worth it, considering: https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2015/11/msg00001.html - https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses#Creative_Commons_Attribution_Share-Alike_.28CC-BY-SA.29_v4.0) [10:19] yes what? [10:19] we need to contact everybody or not? :) [10:22] from what I read in https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2015/11/msg00001.html it does seem we have [10:25] let's take the discussion here... [10:25] practically, what are our options? [10:25] do we send a message to each person on the list by Unit193 via LP/email? [10:26] or would it be "just fine" if we sent a general message on the devel mailing list? [10:26] what if some of the emails are no longer active? [10:26] (potentially explicitly (C)CC'ing people with emails)? [10:26] well their launchpad accounts are active [10:26] that would mean we'd have to put translations on halt [10:26] well, not really [10:27] right, but do we really NEED their explicit acceptance? [10:27] in the form of a reply, that is? [10:27] by Unit193s interpretation, yes [10:27] i'm still looking at https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/ [10:27] and speciically the point [10:27] Version 2.0 and 2.5 [10:27] Your contributions to adaptations of BY-SA 2.0 or 2.5 materials may only be licensed under: [10:28] The license used for the original work, or a later version of that BY-SA license. [10:28] even more specifically: "OR A LATER VERSION OF THAT BY-SA LICENSE" [10:28] because for 1.0, they explicitly say there is no compatibility mechanism [10:28] so it would be different if we were porting from that... [10:29] that was the reason behind me saying tha since we'll continue to distribute all the changes made under the same license as the original I don't see why we couldn't bump the documentation license [10:29] pleia2, input plz? [10:30] and it would be easier to get acceptances/replies from the documentation contributors than getting them from the translators since the later are a larger universe [10:32] i don't mind the work to send a message to each translator as well [10:32] i just don't think it will be very fruitful [10:33] and that's where the problem is, knome [10:33] do we have the need of an explicit acceptance from them? [10:33] so before we dig deeper in any of this, can we say "CC-BY-SA 4.0 or later" if we update the license? [10:33] ianal [10:34] ianal?! [10:34] i am not a lawyer [10:34] lol... same here [10:34] "... can we say "CC-BY-SA 4.0 or later" if we update the license?" <- no clue [10:35] "If you take a work under BY-NC-SA 2.0 and make something new from it, for example, you can re-publish under BY-NC-SA Japan, or BY-NC-SA 7.4 (when that comes)" [10:36] from https://creativecommons.org/2004/05/25/announcingandexplainingournew20licenses/ [10:37] so if you are free to create a new piece of work with the contributions by people A,B,C under BY-NC-SA 2.5, why wouldn't you be able to relicense the original work as well? [10:37] (and yeah, the same goes for BY-SA: Similarly, a derivative made from a work under BY-SA 2.0 may be published only under BY-SA 2.0, BY-SA (iCommons license), or BY-SA 9.1 ...) [10:38] from your link knome: "Version 2.0 licenses that feature the Share Alike requirement now clarify that derivatives may be re-published under one of three types of licenses: (1) the exact same license as the original work; (2) a later version of the same license as the original work; (3) an iCommons license that contains the same license elements as the original work (e.g. BY-SA-NC, as defined in Section 1 of each license). The ve [10:38] "...The version 1.0 licenses required that derivative be published under the exact same license only. " [10:39] indeed [10:40] but like everything legal, it's all too kafkian :P [10:41] my take is to send an email to devel noting of this intention to upgrade (and we can send messages to LP accounts) and see what comes [10:41] but i'd also like to hear a comment from pleia2 [10:41] knome: It's not a problem to just bump it. [10:42] Unit193, this information is based on...? :) [10:42] what about emailing canonical legal asking for a clarifying view on this? [10:42] erghh :) [10:43] that might take a while [10:43] Jessica Kearns is helpful with some things regarding UF [10:43] i'm not opposed to being in touch with them if you feel that's a good idea [10:44] but i'd like to hear what changed Unit193's mind too :P [10:44] lack of sleep and too much coffee, perhaps? [10:45] "You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform a Derivative Work only under the terms of this License, ***a later version of this License with the same License Elements as this License***, or a Creative Commons iCommons license that contains the same License Elements as this License (e.g. Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 Japan)." [10:45] oki [10:45] https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/legalcode legal text is fun. [10:45] so as i kind of interpreted from the beginning [10:45] yeah, i read that too [10:45] **You may distribute,** [10:46] As I said: Does the license say "or later"? this one does! :D [10:46] oh [10:46] * Unit193 is not a lawyer. [10:46] the *license* [10:46] But anyway, that's how I read it. [10:46] Nice. [10:46] the thing i find the most amusing is [10:47] that an entity that creates new licenses says this: [10:47] No. Creative Commons is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or legal services. [10:47] lol [10:47] i completely understand that, but it's just so funny :P [10:48] "Well, you kind of do.." :P [10:48] yep [12:45] bluesabre: is there actually any real point in reporting a thunar issue on launchpad? [12:45] flocculant, potentially... but would be nice to clean up the issues we have once/if we get the SRU moving [12:46] so for the moment I won't make sure something is in 2 places [12:46] just confirmed xfce 13364 [12:46] bugzilla.xfce.org bug 13364 in general "After moving files, a Ghost file sometimes remains in Detail View" [Normal,New] https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13364 [12:47] fun [12:47] mmm - but at least it stays up :) [12:47] sounds like it should be an easy fix [12:47] but its thunar [12:47] hah [12:49] flocculant, I might have found another one, noticed yesterday [12:50] if thunar is watching a directory where there are lots of changes, say "Downloads" when you're grabbing media files, it freezes at some point [12:50] bluesabre: I'll be trying to clean up thunar bugzilla [12:50] bluesabre: oh - I just saw that on lp [12:50] oh nice [12:51] well sort of at least > bug 1643178 [12:51] bug 1643178 in thunar (Ubuntu) " When a folder is displayed where there are big files that are growing, it locks" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1643178 [12:51] bluesabre: ftr - I've not seen that, but it would be something I would likely have hit [13:23] i'm new here. i've just set up KVM and performed an Install (entire disk) with the Zest daily. no bugs. should i report results? [13:42] triode13: Thanks to flocculant training me yesterday I know the answer to this! You can login with your Ubuntu One account here and record your result at the bottom of the page: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/369/builds [14:16] triode13, Perigee: nice to see new faces around here :) [14:16] welcome! [14:16] oops. didn't realize my Launchpad id was not triode13. changed my Launchpad id from 'fishski13' to 'triode13'. [14:16] we welcome all kinds of launchpad id's ;) [14:18] lol, yeah who took Perigee on Launchpad?! *shakes fist* [14:18] knome: \o/ [14:28] slickymasterWork, akxwi-dave: https://code.launchpad.net/~knome/xubuntu-docs/contributor-doc-improvements/+merge/318780 [14:28] you also should have mail regarding this [14:28] yes [14:28] will review it later at home, knome [14:29] sure [14:29] fwiw, the documentation team basic stuff is from a document that i wrote for jjfrv8 back when he was pondering if he wanted to take the doc lead hat :) [14:30] ack [14:30] aaaand now i can clean that file from temp.knome.fi :P [14:30] :) [14:31] (if you're wondering, yes, that was the source for all the motivation to get this update done :P) [14:31] it kind of got out of hand, i admit it [14:31] would've been easy to hit and run [14:31] Hey since you're talking docs, I was curious if there was any interest in video training for Xubuntu. I thought I saw mention of it somewhere in the past few days on the site. My side-job is creating IT video training courses, so I thought I would offer. [14:32] Perigee, absolutely, if there are people who are willing to create the content [14:32] knome: Is there a wishlist/outline of what you want? Or just go through the written Xubuntu/XFCE docs and make videos for each piece? [14:33] no, that would probably be the first thing to figure out [14:33] not sure if we want videos for exactly the same kind of stuff, because text and video are very different formats and enable different kinds of things to be done [14:34] you'll want to talk with slickymasterWork (the doc lead) and pleia2 (the marketing lead) about that [14:34] Yeah, following a rigid "here is how you change a setting" document can get boring. Most of the stuff I do is teaching concepts + a demo, which is a bit different in style. [14:34] and starting a discussion thread in the devel mailing list can produce some results as well [14:35] another question we need to tackle is the "where" [14:35] we'll want to create some kind of official account if we do "official" videos [14:35] Yeah, I assume an official Xubuntu Youtube channel would be a good start [14:35] (we can definitely give you the control over that too, along with somebody from the team) [14:35] yeah - that's one of the questions - youtube, vimeo, or something else ;) [14:36] Ok cool, well if slickymasterWork wants to chime in at all, I'm here all day. I'll get around to sending an email to the mailing list as well. [14:36] the idea wouldn't be to flood the potential venue of the videos with loads of material, Perigee [14:37] i use both (and any) to consume, but i don't know well enough to know which one would suit us better [14:37] and thanks for volunteering to make them [14:37] oh, also, we'll likely want to use some consistent artwork with them - you'll want to poke me when you need some [14:38] Sure, I know XFCE has specifics for screenshots, so I'm sure we would want the same [14:38] preferably those videos would demonstrate a wider scope of the nuclear use of Xubuntu and core Xfce apps [14:38] for the configuration, probably just default settings [14:38] (unless the videos cover changing them, obviously you should do that then ;)) [14:39] but i was meaning some intro artwork - and the video cover art [14:39] or whatever it is called [14:43] Perigee, potential candidates for videos can be Catfish, LightDM GTK+ Greeter, Whiskermenu, LightDM GTK+ Greeter Settings, MenuLibre, Mugshot [14:44] another potential series could be done about contributing [14:45] QA testing, and documentation [14:46] something like setting up a launchpad account, submitting merge proposals, etc [14:47] Makes sense [14:49] Perigee, like knome already stated starting a discussion thread in the devel mailing list should be one of your first steps so everyone in the team can also chime in [15:08] -SwissBot:#xubuntu-devel- ::xubuntu-docs:: [contributor-doc-improvements] r628 Merge flocculant's improvements for the contributor document...

In addition, the documentation team makes sure features highlighted in the installer slideshow or any other marketing material are appropriately documented. [18:36] knome: yea I realise that [18:37] it's mostly the "marketing" stuff, anything that's "xubuntu-like" could already be considered "core" [18:38] ack - wfm [18:38] assuming that replaces the first sentence :) [18:38] yes [18:38] k [18:39] also: When any documented features are removed or changed, the team makes sure the documentation does not refer to any removed functionality [18:39] replacing again [18:39] yep - wfm again [18:39] :) [18:40] next one: The team should be aware of changes to new releases, particularly on LTS releases and potential SRUs, as those might affect documentation. [18:40] yep - wfm again [18:41] right, the essential issue [18:41] the packages that only exist in xubuntu are essential as well [18:41] maybe s/essential/important/ and add essential to the first one? [18:42] actually, i'd do the following [18:42] first title == Essential: Packages that only exist in Xubuntu [18:42] second == Important: Used by Xubuntu [18:42] third == $something_else: Mainly built for and used by Xubuntu [18:43] yup - I'll not say it again :p [18:43] does that work though? [18:43] and any suggestions for the last one? [18:43] that last is really just wording - the other way round it looks a bit odd [18:44] gmm [18:44] hmm too [18:44] maybe we should merge the last two? [18:44] so i'll do that, remove the prefixes and we'll see how that looks [18:45] yea I think used and important could merge [18:45] yep [18:45] done that already [18:45] now let me push the new rev [18:46] knome: did you do Documentation String Freeze prior to uploading ? [18:46] yep [18:46] k [18:46] was happy with the new proposal so [18:47] yea - just checking before you new rev :D [18:48] and done [18:49] also see slight wording change on "used by" - no essential there eitehr :P [18:49] either either [18:52] knome: thanks - I commented but didn't approve - just in case you can only have 1 approve :D [18:53] bbl [19:05] flocculant: 10-4 [19:14] flocculant, you can have as many approves as there are reviewers [19:15] had to jump off in a rush [19:15] and now off again, bbl today [19:23] -SwissBot:#xubuntu-devel- ::xubuntu-docs:: [contributor-doc-improvements] r631 Improvements based on Kev's comments on MP #318780...
