ochosi#topic Open action items23:02
ochosiwe carried over nothing from the last meeting23:02
ochosiand since nobody added any AIs since then i guess we have none..?23:03
bluesabreI think a lot of folks didn't know about the meeting23:03
bluesabreI saw a mention of it, and it was on the calendar :D23:03
ochositonight?23:03
ochosii sent out the usual mail and put it on the calendar23:03
ochosiand on the wiki page23:03
JackFrostYep, I didn't.  So I guess now might be a good time to ask what 4.15 has in store for us, or specifically, what we're going to do with it.23:04
bluesabreI feel like I didn't see the mail23:04
ochosihmm23:04
bluesabreAnyhoo, we're here now :D23:04

ochosihttps://imgur.com/0b5Vigf.png23:05
ochosii didn't receive a rejection mail or anything23:05
ochosiand i didn't check the archive, because... why would i?23:05
ochosi:/23:05
bluesabrelol23:06
ochosisoooorry (i guess)23:06
bluesabreNot you, or us, so all good23:06
ochosibut i'm happy i managed to schedule a time/day that works :D23:06
ochosiso yeah, let's skip ahead and talk about 4.1623:06
ochosior 4.1523:06
ochosi#topic Updates and announcements23:06
JackFrost(I also didn't discard your mail from the list!)23:07
ochosi#info Xfce 4.15 is progressing well and there are a few more releases around the corner23:07
ochosisince 4.16 will switch to client side decorations for XfceTitledDialog that begs the question whether we go s/mate/gnome in our application set (evince,..)23:08
ochosialso, gtk-dialog-use-header will be enabled by default upstream23:08
bluesabre#info The new dark theme, Greybird-dark was just released23:08
ochosiwhich means all GtkDialog based windows should use CSD23:08
bluesabreWorking on getting that packaged :)23:08
ochosicool23:09
ochosiso regarding what we're going to do with 4.15, i'd slap it into a PPA for testing23:09
ochosiand then think about it again once 20.04 is released23:09
ochosiif you want a sneak preview (ahead of my upcoming blog post about this), here's the xfce settings manager in the new layout: https://imgur.com/sj98Abn.png23:10
ochosiso visually it's not a big departure23:11
ochosior a standalone config dialog: https://imgur.com/5nRhS6H.png23:11
ochosiJackFrost: does that answer your question?23:12
JackFrostWell not really, I'd guess the specific question is ppa:xubuntu-dev/experimental ?23:13
ochosiyeah, i guess so23:13
bluesabreSure, I think that's fine23:13
JackFrostOK, I'll only be picking them up as they hit Debian experimental this time.23:13
bluesabreMakes sense :)23:14
ochosidoes debian experimental pick up devel releases?23:14
ochosi(sry, i'm rather ignorant there)23:14
JackFrostDepends on if corsac feels like it, but usually yeah.23:15
bluesabreOther news from the theming perspective, the Yaru folks might have a surprise for us soon (nothing more to say about that for now)23:15
ochosienigmatic23:15
bluesabreSaw a 4.15 thing get uploaded to debian the other day23:16
ochosiis it good, bad or ugly? (the surprise)23:16
bluesabreGood23:16
bluesabre:)23:16
* ochosi keeps his fingers crossed23:16
JackFrost...What I'd think of as 'good' or what everyone else does? :P23:16
bluesabreWell23:16
ochosi:'D23:16
bluesabreThat remains to be seen23:16
bluesabre;)23:16
ochosiokok, i'll stop biting my nails and we can move on23:17
ochosiunless you want to know more regarding 4.1523:17
JackFrostNope.23:17
ochosik23:17
bluesabreGot anything planned for 4.14.x?23:17
ochosiyeah23:17
ochosithat's what i would move on to23:18
ochosi#subtopic Xubuntu 20.04 Planning23:18
JackFrostgtk-dialog-use-header doesn't really look like a user setting, but glade or whatnot, right?23:18
ochosiit's a user setting23:18
ochosiyou can try with xfconf-query if you want23:18
ochosi(i can paste the command)23:19
JackFrostAH, fantastic.  Thanks.  I'll :x now.23:19
ochosiit'll be part of my blog post ;)23:19
bluesabre:)23:19
ochosithe only agenda item i added could go here or into discussion23:20
ochosiit's about checking up on 4.14.x releases23:20
ochosiso i would suggest we spend a few minutes to go around the most important components and see if we want a point release :)23:21
bluesabre:)23:21
ochosiand then info it23:21
bluesabreI think xfce4-settings has a few fixes waiting in it23:21
ochosi#info xfce4-panel 4.14.2 shall be released shortly23:21
bluesabreAnd xfce4-taskmanager drops the stuck floating legend, fixing one of our lp bugs23:22
ochosi#info xfce4-settings 4.14.2 shall be released shortly23:22
bluesabrexfce4-weather-plugin has some bugs I'm aware of that I need to fix and release23:23
ochosi#info xfdesktop 4.14.2 shall be released shortly23:23
ochosi(some of those means we need to bug others, other releases can be done by me or sean)23:23
bluesabrexfce4-screensaver has a few newly reported bugs with patches23:23
bluesabreyeah23:23
ochosi#info xfce4-session 4.14.1 shall be released shortly23:24
bluesabrenice23:24
ochosiso there are quite a few23:25
bluesabreJackFrost: aware of any critical releases?23:25
ochosieven though the powermanager has only commit, it's a nice one23:25
JackFrostNope.23:25
bluesabreGot another catfish release I'll hopefully land this weekend23:26
bluesabreWe might also need to revisit our docs a bit this cycle23:26
bluesabreOh23:27
ochosii thnk that's about it from the core components23:27
bluesabreAnd the wallpaper contest23:27
bluesabreSorry, brain dumping :)23:27
bluesabreochosi: yeah, can't think of others that have anything major pending23:28
ochosidocs and wallpaper contest are both fine, but i have to admit i probably won't have time for either23:28
ochosii mean helping with the selection, yes, that's just one session23:28
ochosibut setting it all up and communicating it, probably not23:28
bluesabreOnce I have a handle of the requirements, I'll put a schedule together23:28
ochosik23:29
ochosianything else you would like to discuss in planning?23:30
bluesabrexubuntu-wise, I think that's all I have23:30
ochosik, same here23:31
ochosi#topic Discussion23:31
bluesabrehi23:32
bluesabre:)23:32
ochosi:)23:32
bluesabreSo, we should probably look at the release schedule23:32
ochosiwe had one point we may carry over from last time, which is announcing that we need people to work on our website (since knome isn't around a lot)23:33
ochosibluesabre: wanna take an action item?23:33
ochosi:>23:33
bluesabreSure23:33
ochosiand yeah, then let's look at the schedule23:33
ochosi#action bluesabre to send an email to the xubuntu / xubuntu-devel list about looking for a new web lead (someone who doesn't hate wordpress)23:34
meetingologyACTION: bluesabre to send an email to the xubuntu / xubuntu-devel list about looking for a new web lead (someone who doesn't hate wordpress)23:34
bluesabreRelease schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule23:34
bluesabreFeature freeze at the end of February23:35
ochosi2/27 - Feature Freeze / Debian Import Freeze23:35
bluesabreWe're not doing too bad for time :)23:35
ochosiseems like the next relevant date23:35
ochosisince we're not really planning any new features so far, i guess UI freeze may be more relevant even23:35
ochosi3/19 - User Interface Freeze23:36
bluesabreXfce 4.14 has been pleasantly stable, so there's not a lot of things to worry about adding or fixing23:36
ochosiindeed23:36
bluesabreUnless there's tons of broken stuff and nobody's reporting bugs23:36
ochosi:D23:36
bluesabreDefinitely possible.23:36
ochosisome people are reporting bugs, and i actually fix some of them every once in a while23:36
ochosithe good thing is most of them also affect 4.15 so i have extra motivation to fix them anyway23:37
bluesabregood dev ochosi23:37
ochosiwe're in a much better place than with 4.1223:37
ochosithe porting made bug fixing for older releases totally unpleasant23:37
ochosiand also felt more like a waste of time23:37
bluesabreWhat's the package that we use for the color profiles? Has it been updated for focal?23:38
ochosiah23:38
ochosii think so23:38
ochosii think i even asked JackFrost to put it in a PPA for me and i tested it23:38
ochosithe main issue with it is gone (100%cpu and multiple daemons spawned)23:38
JackFrostBut did you close the resulting bug? ;)23:38
ochosii thought you did :p23:39
ochosii can take a look...23:39
