yofel_hi after taking some time off IRC11:27
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
yofel(which included telegram in case you tried to reach me through that)11:27
yofelreason why I'm concerned enough to pop up: We have 13 days left until half of the KC expires, anyone time to organise an election with yet another modified timeframe (which IMO will have to be a bit longer than 2 weeks)11:30
yofel*does anyone time to organise an election with yet another modified timeframe (which IMO will have to be a bit longer than 2 weeks)?11:37
ahoneybunyofel: since we need more then 2 weeks then should just extend the current ones till a month or so once the email is sent out11:54
ahoneybunbut I don't think a lot of people will vote/put their name in tbh11:55
yofelfine with me, and we'll see how it'll turn out. You do have a point11:56
ahoneybunI've only seen 2/6 member really active (life happens) so not sure11:57
clivejohi yofel :)  long time no see!12:00
yofelo/12:00
clivejohow are things with you?12:01
clivejodid you enjoy your trip?12:02
clivejoany objections to https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2017-August/011318.html ?12:17
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I think that's -devel no?12:31
clivejohttps://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-kde/kubuntu12:47

IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-news-team/2017-August/002703.html16:59
valorie[m]Congratulations Simon!17:34
tsimonq2Thanks valorie[m] :D17:35
valorieoh my gosh, I totally forgot about K C dates20:20
valorieand it's not on our Kubuntu calendar20:21
valoriewhat an oversight20:21
valorie:(20:21
valorieso, anybody here not running who can conduct the election quick-like?20:39
valorieahoneybun, clivejo, claydoh, Mamarok, yofel ?20:39
valorieor I can, I guess, I believe I have another year on my term20:40
valorielooks like yofel ran the last one20:40
ahoneybunhow would I run it if I would be running?20:40
ahoneybunI think I ran the last one to get clivejo in20:41
valorieimo: look at list archives, and just change the call as needed20:41
valorieand send out pdq20:41
ahoneybunI'm running again so I can't do it20:41
ahoneybunsince I don't anyone new is stepping up20:41
valorieright, good, I'm glad you are running20:41
ahoneybun*think anyone20:41
valoriewell, we should urge some of the new people to run20:42
valorieI do not like this do-nothing council20:42
valoriewell, part of it20:42
ahoneybunI said to add us back for a few months till we get some new folks20:42
valorieyou have been active, and so have I20:42
ahoneybunwell life happens and sometimes you need to step back a bit20:42
ahoneybunboth of which I understand20:42
valorieand clive stayed active even though he left the council20:42
valorieme too20:43
ahoneybunyea20:43
valorieso I hope he runs again20:43
ahoneybunI don't see much of Mamarok or claydoh tbh20:43
ahoneybunonly want it's election time I think20:43
ahoneybun*when20:43
ahoneybunI also want clivejo back on20:44
ahoneybunI think the council should be half community stuff and half dev stuff20:44
ahoneybunso we can see both POVs20:44
ahoneybunnext cycle I'd like the devs to look at snaps and flatpaks more20:46
valoriewell, both should be represented, for sure20:46
valoriebut everyone should *contribute*20:46
ahoneybuntthey can20:46
ahoneybunI have flatpaks installed fine20:46
ahoneybunneeded to build the new ones for artful of course20:46
ahoneybunKube runs in flatpak, just with Intel I think20:47
ahoneybunvalorie: https://launchpad.net/~aaronhoneycutt/+archive/ubuntu/artful-flatpak20:48
ahoneybunthey build fine20:48
valorieI'm sure we would have to lead on flatpak if we want it, since ubuntu focuses on snaps20:49
valoriesec20:49
ahoneybunyea both are cool in their own way, KDE kinda seems to be moving to flatpak tho20:49
valoriemmmm, some are21:22
valoriesome more to appimage21:22
valorieand certainly some to snaps21:22
valorieeven though flatpak has the k21:22
valorielol21:22
ahoneybunlol21:22
valorieyofel: hi21:30
valoriesorry to just ignore that you came back! and focus on business21:31
valoriehow are ya?21:31

IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Opps it's on reddit in /r/Kubuntu23:19
valorienice23:20
valorieurgh, nothing on twitter yet?23:20
valoriesigH23:21
valorieor mastodon23:21
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I've not gotten there het23:23
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Twitter and Mastodon is done23:28
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Good I hate that this client does not support multiple accounts23:31
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Ah it's just this client23:33
valoriewhat client?23:34
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Tusky23:34
valorieI gave up on using them years back and just use the web twitter etc.23:34
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Best looking one23:34
valorieoh23:34
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Talon for twitter23:35
valoriegot that on my phone but I doubt I ever used it23:35
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> It's pretty dam good23:35
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> damn23:35
valoriethere used to be chocoq or so23:35
valoriebut it sucked23:35
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Well that's desktop23:35
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Might as well use web tbh23:35
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I think that's still alive somewhere23:36
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> What's with the questions on the ML?23:36
valorieI want people who are running to talk about what they want to do23:37
valorieclive removed that from the mail, so i'm asking individually23:37
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Mm I wonder why he did that23:37
valoriehe wanted to run it, he's running it, and that's cool23:41
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Mm I don't like answering that and then I don't actually finish it23:41
valoriewhy?23:42
valoriewe all change focus sometimes23:42
valorieand it isn't a specific question23:42
valorieI think you should brag on your docs and moving them to sphinx23:43
valoriethat was huge23:43
valorieand while you're at it, spam for more contributors to the docs23:43
valorieetc.23:43
valoriesell yourself23:43
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I'm personally thinking of stripping the docs a bit and adding more Ubuntu stuff23:45
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> "I am a Red Bull-powered packaging machine and human Lintian. Vote for me! "23:45
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I want to work on KDE docs more but not sure how to go about that since the channel is dead a lot23:46
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> It's only huge if I can get them to auto deploy to the doc site23:46
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> @yofel help with that?23:46
clivejoI didn't remove it, just re-worded it a bit23:48
clivejo"This schedule shortens all the timelines. Please nominate yourselves or others quickly, so we can get to voting quickly. Please mention what you would like to accomplish within the Kubuntu project (Why people should vote for you)"23:49
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> Again, I'll be running. :P23:49
clivejoput in your email :P23:49
valorieclivejo: sorry to mis-characterize23:49
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> OK :P23:50
valorieit sounds better than my version23:50
clivejoI just wanted to personalise it a bit23:50
valorieit sounds good23:51
ahoneybunvalorie: tbf on the docs, I did that a while ago I think23:51
valorie.... which is fine, but this is an election, so you should sell your candidacy23:51
valorieand I'm picking on you because you spoke up first, thus can be the example for the rest23:52
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> @valorie, Can I sell Red Bull too? :P23:52
valorieNO23:54
valoriehorrors!23:54
ahoneybunyofel: ping23:55
ahoneybunvalorie: SeaGL did not take my talk23:57
valorieboo23:58
ahoneybunyea23:58
valorieI ran out of time to even think of a talk23:58
valoriemuch less submit one23:58
