lubot<wxl23> @gsilvapt [Any1 subscribed to the snapd bug report I opened re https://phab.lubuntu.me/T139 …], Naw, committed 3 days ago. In this case, that means committed to upstream, but upstream hasn't released a new version. Even then what is in proposed is lagging behind: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd vs https://github.com/snapc16:42

lubot<tsimonq2> However, they're at least every couple of weeks16:47
lubot<wxl23> That's besides the point16:47

kc2bezI don't have too much so I will go.21:11
kc2bez* Tried to upload the changes for lubuntu-update-notifier21:12
kc2bezDiscovered it isn't in the Lubuntu package set.21:12
kc2bez* Sent an email to get it added ^21:12
kc2bezWill upload when we can.21:12
kc2bezThat is all I have for the week.21:12
lubot<ericadams> I'm here as well21:12
lubot<ericadams> @profetik777 and I have been discussing the marketing effort if we care to discuss that.21:13
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> please do.21:14
lubot* RikMills lurks21:15
lubot<ericadams> He put together a document to outline what we're planning. I think he was going to post it somewhere so I won't dump all the content here. In In summary...21:15
lubot<ericadams> We want to create small team that builds core foundation of Marketing and Communications strategy and necessary tools/resources to execute.21:16
lubot<ericadams> @profetik777 states: From my experience, I have found that starting with small projects and milestones are more productive in the goal towards more effective marketing and communications. A small target that I will be working towards is creating an email list and respective email opt-in forms strategically place on the home page.21:16
lubot<ericadams> For my part, I'm interested in helping when I can on technical guidance/advice on website as well honing in on a shared language that the Lubuntu team can leverage when communicating its unique value proposition in the greater Linux ecosystem. Once we poll/survey the community – we can then have the “raw ingredients” to create a sho21:17
lubotrt/concise explanation on lubuntu’s value and position. This then would feed other marketing and communication efforts.21:17
lubot<ericadams> TLDR: I want to get a solid value proposition in place for what Lubuntu is and why someone might want to use it.21:18
lubot<ericadams> When I was testing it, one of the things I did was go to the website and look for this type of info and I had a hard time defining those points.21:20
lubot<ericadams> Maybe it's a "forest through the trees" situation where I just don't see it but I think it should be apparent to a visitor.21:21
lubot<ericadams> I'll also say I am interested in publicizing Lubuntu with content like videos, posts and social media.21:22
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> basically. It is the most lightweight flavour of ubuntu. provides benifits of ubuntu universe(softwares/support.etc) but in a small system footprint. is basically usable almost everywhere. even on small and old systems. Since such systems have botlenecked hardwares, one can try to make up by maximising on software front. thus 21:23
lubotusing lubuntu (having low footprint) allows efficient usage of resources and good experience.21:23
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> you can lookup comparison videos on youtube.21:23
lubot<ericadams> @The_LoudSpeaker [basically. It is the most lightweight flavour of ubuntu. provides benifits of ub …], Good start! There's a lot to tease out from that.21:24
lubot<ericadams> @The_LoudSpeaker [you can lookup comparison videos on youtube.], I could but I'd rather get it from the horse's mouth so to speak21:24
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> XD "horse's mouth" noice!21:24
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @ericadams [For my part, I'm interested in helping when I can on technical guidance/advice o …], can you explain a bit more on the pool/survey part?21:25
wxl@ericadams this should be a good start https://lubuntu.me/taking-a-new-direction/21:26
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @ericadams [When I was testing it, one of the things I did was go to the website and look fo …], actually the website needs to be updated. but we are short on people and time.21:26
lubot<ericadams> @The_LoudSpeaker [can you explain a bit more on the pool/survey part?], That was @profetik777's idea. He was basically thinking that the existing users would be able to provide strong reasons why they value Lubuntu.21:26
wxlalso you should get together with simon and/or i to get all you all the social media stuff21:27
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> beaware he forgets about those from time to time. ;)21:27
wxlwell there was that one that no one had sooooooo21:27
lubot<ericadams> @The_LoudSpeaker [actually the website needs to be updated. but we are short on people and time.], I can help with that. I notice you use Elementor on Wordpress which is what I use as well.21:27
wxl@ericadams also see me about wordpress21:28
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @ericadams [I can help with that. I notice you use Elementor on Wordpress which is what I us …], nice to know. @tsimonq2 or @wxl: can get you started21:28
lubot<ericadams> I know it's a sticking point but I would LOVE to figure out the whole .org and .e situation. It's confusing to say the least.21:28
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @ericadams [That was @profetik777's idea. He was basically thinking that the existing users …], nice idea.21:29
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @ericadams [I know it's a sticking point but I would LOVE to figure out the whole .org and . …], basically. we had a fight and decided to go our own ways21:29
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> isn't that right wxl ?21:30
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> XD21:30
wxlmore or less :/21:31
wxland you mean .net21:31
lynorianpager wars?21:31
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> org takes you there only21:31
lubot<ericadams> I'm doing a website eval to see what improvements we can make. Some things are simple and won't really require much discussion or input. Some other things are bigger picture and I'd want to have feedback on how to proceed.21:32
wxli think we'd be happy to give you artistic license :)21:32
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> prepare a list and a task on phab. that should be a start. mention everything there. add subtasks, etc21:32
lubot<ericadams> @wxl [<wxl> and you mean .net], Sorry, yes .net21:32
lubot<ericadams> @The_LoudSpeaker [prepare a list and a task on phab. that should be a start. mention everything th …], I may need some help with that. Let me know if there is documentation I can look at or someone I can bother. ;)21:33
lubot<ericadams> I have an account and have been poking around. Just need to figure a few things our.21:34
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @ericadams [I may need some help with that. Let me know if there is documentation I can look …], I can help. ping me after the meeting.21:34
lubot<ericadams> @The_LoudSpeaker [I can help. ping me after the meeting.], ok21:34
lubot<ericadams> I think that's all I have for now21:35
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> also, about the email list part you mentioned, we already have a user mailing list. you thinking about something digfferent?21:35

lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> That looks like the end of it. or wxl: you have something?21:48
wxlstill phone21:49
lubot<tsimonq2> Hi on the phone, I'm dad21:56
guiverc@tsimonq2, Hi Dad (I guess)21:57
lubot<tsimonq2> XD21:57
lubot<kc2bez> If you're dad I must be grandpa. 😂21:57

wxlhelped with that whole snap package thing22:04

-lugito:#lubuntu-devel- [Unbreak Now!, Open] Ensure applications in Snap packages show up in the lxqt-panel menu: https://phab.lubuntu.me/T13922:04
wxlalthough really the heavy lifting was done by gsilvapt22:04
wxltracking down some bugs, including one with icon sizes not updating on the panel. needs more testing22:05
wxlstill need to get back to testing the issues with discover (or rather i think appstream, or maybe even lmdb) with turkish22:05
wxlgot @teward001 access to wordpress at long last22:06
wxlhelped @The_LoudSpeaker with his new upload22:07
wxli think that's about it22:07
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> tell me how to pick commits from upstream and apply to phab. I will pick the latest release of globalkeys22:08
lubot<kc2bez> well there is a guide in the wiki to do that.22:09
wxlbut the thing is you need to update the PACKAGING in phab (that's all that's in there) to be consistent with what's in the archive and that's not in upstream22:10
lubot<kc2bez> I think you might want to look at the mergemeld tool that @RikMills sent you though22:10
wxlwe really need to come up with a reasonable solution to deal with MoM22:12
wxlpart of me thinks we should just ignore it and go pick it ourselves.22:12
lubot<tsimonq2> (merge from Debian's git and squash it all into one commit)22:13
lubot<kc2bez> which arc does if you go through phab first.22:14
lubot<RikMills> @tsimonq2 [(merge from Debian's git and squash it all into one commit)], yep, and I usually use a merge tool like meld to check that the result matches what was in the debian folder of what I uploaded22:16
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> I will check the wiki and mergemel tool.22:20
gsilvaptwxl, I did what now? :) 23:19
kc2bezI posted on the snapcraft forum and filed a bug on launchpad. 23:20
kc2bezyou23:20
gsilvaptIndeed, although it all seems like the easy part? (thinking_face) 23:21
wxlsometimes not23:21
wxlthe research is always the hardest part23:21
kc2bezit was very productive in this case. 23:21
wxlgsilvapt: you might want to follow up and see when a release might hit the archive, though23:22
gsilvaptYou guys mentioned popey before. I haven't read the conversation above so, sorry if you already answered: Does he know by chance? 23:23
gsilvaptLet me ask the official way 23:24
wxli'd just ask at the forum23:24
wxli'm not sure how directly involved popey is in the development 23:24
kc2bezit looks like GitHub releases happen near monthly. I am not sure how often they land in the archive. 23:25
wxlhis official role is developer advocate, not developer23:25
gsilvaptright. I'll ask in the forum + LP then 23:25
wxli mean i'm sure he's doing development but you get what i mean23:26
gsilvaptI asked in the PR. They seem pretty active over there :) 23:28
wxlyep23:29
wxlsnaps are here to stay for sure23:30
