Unit193It'd also be a bit nice if one could set DISTRIBUTOR or so, Ubuntu has http://paste.openstack.org/show/oZg7qNqZxdfsv8lXNevK but that'd be nice to have the option to set Ubuntu, Debian, etc.00:28
bluesabrejphilips: scheduled for tomorrow at 22:00 UTC.01:20
Unit193\o/01:22
Unit193Hold up, FF just hit?!09:30
RikMillsyes09:45
Unit193I haven't looked at the schedule in months since it's not on the wiki, I guess it sneaks up on you.09:47
ochosiUnit193: a-ha, i wasn't aware of X-GNOME-Gettext-Domain (i'm also not really the desktop file expert)10:00
ochosiUnit193: what is distributor used for in practice?10:00
ochosiideally create a MR based on that patch so we can discuss it on gitlab10:01
Unit193bluesabre: https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/libxfce4util_4.15.3-1.html10:15
Unit193ochosi: I don't know, I see glib handles it in Debian for X-Debian, and I have seen several Ubuntu ones use that too.  There's been a patch in libxfce4util since forever for that.10:16
bluesabreUnit193: yay!10:20
bluesabreUnit193: and yeah, I've been working non-stop day and night basically since COVID started, and missed that FF was here :\10:24
Unit193Urgh, condolences.. :/10:27
Unit193Kind of gathered you were very busy though.10:27
Unit193bluesabre: Soooo...Tempted to slip in glade with that too...  Not entirely sure that needs it's own package, but it's still used yes?10:39
bluesabreUnit193: yes!10:39
Unit193Meh, pulls in webkit/etc.  So yeah maybe still an extra package.10:42
ochosias i said, please submit the existing patch in a MR10:52
ochosithat would already help10:52
Unit193I mean...It's not fit for upstream as-is, soo...10:53
ochosiit could still start the discussion10:53
ochosior submit an issue10:53
ochosibut only irc is sometimes not enough10:53
ochosiunless i end up doing the thing myself10:53
Unit193Issue would seem better at least, though just figured I'd ask. :)10:58
ochosisure, one can always try11:03
Unit193"Nah that doesn't seem too upstream worthy" "OK!" :)11:05
Unit193bluesabre: Yatzee!11:06
Unit193(...Or the proper spelling.)11:06
Unit193...So I'm going to end up with one package with delta, for myself only too. >_<11:16

bluesabreWay to go ochosi 22:07
bluesabreXubuntu Docs have been getting refreshed weekly, with some updates coming to Transifex soon, feel free to join us! (thanks jphilips for leading the charge here)22:08
pleia2nice22:08
bluesabreFeature Freeze was yesterday... we'll come back to this later :D22:08
ochosi:)22:08
jphilipswill 4.16pre1 come to the PPA?22:09
bluesabreI think... probably22:09
bluesabreI have an experimental PPA here, in case you want to experiment: https://launchpad.net/~bluesabre/+archive/ubuntu/xfce-4.1622:10
jphilipssweet22:10
bluesabreIt's not fully up-to-date as of this week's updates22:10
bluesabreBut close22:10
bluesabre20.10 won't include any 4.15 components, to be clear22:11
ochosiyeah22:11
ochosiwouldn't have made sense22:11
ochositoo early22:11
bluesabreOn to the discussion-y bits22:12
bluesabre#topic Discussion22:12
bluesabre#subtopic Xubuntu Council (bluesabre / knome)22:12
bluesabreSo, I put out a call for Xubuntu Council nominations a couple weeks ago.22:12
ochosi(i'm happy knome brought up that story, i would have forgotten about it already)22:12
bluesabreThe ML, as well as my DMs, was silent :D22:12
pleia2now is a bad time for me, as you might "expect" ;D22:13
ochosi:'D22:13
bluesabreDefinitely :D22:13
pleia2I would like to hear knome's thoughts too, but maybe a time to consider switching back to the XPL model?22:14
pleia2though I'm not sure anyone wants that either ;)22:15
ochosithe question is if the project at this point *needs* an XPL22:15
pleia2yeah22:15
ochosiafter all, we all have been around very long (with some exceptions) and "know what we're doing"22:15
ochosialthough as knome pointed out correctly, I've mostly moved upstream22:16
ochosiplus all the components that "made xubuntu special" are now on gitlab.xfce22:16
ochosi(in a good way)22:16
bluesabreYay us for upstreaming our skills :D22:16
bluesabreMaybe we should table/ML this for now, and knome can possibly appear later in the meeting to continue the discussion?22:18
ochosii'm wondering - what has the council ever done for us?22:18
pleia2things do tend to chug along with people just doing their thing22:18
ochosi(i'm sad knome isn't here to pick up the "what have the romans ever done for us" monty python ring...)22:18
bluesabreYeah, the Council has been hands-off since the beginning, which is A-OK22:18
bluesabreroamin' roman knome'n22:19
ochosi:]22:19
bluesabreAlrighty, going to move on to the next thing, and jump around a bit since we have several team folks here.22:22
bluesabre#subtopic Team Membership22:22
bluesabreGenerally speaking, I'd like to expand this... 22:22
bluesabreAnd jphilips applied a couple months ago, with little response22:22
bluesabrehttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2020-May/011972.html22:22
bluesabreSince he's been actively contributing and is on some of the subteams: on docs, bugs, social media, website (and probably more), I'd like to get him on the team.22:23
pleia2yeah, sorry about not saying anything22:23
pleia2the work has been really good :)22:24
bluesabreSince we don't add people frequently, and I don't think we have the process really defined, what's the next step?22:25
pleia2I think a meeting vote is fine, we have quorum today22:26
bluesabreSounds good to me.22:26

bluesabre#subtopic Feature Freeze / Feature Requests22:34
bluesabreSo, Feature Freeze was yesterday22:35
bluesabreWe noticed as we received the mail :D22:35
bluesabreThere's a few feature requests floating around22:35
bluesabreEnable folder thumbnailing (LP: #1873268)22:35
bluesabreLog notifications by default (LP: #1874496)22:35

bluesabreAnd a whole slew of app suggestions22:36
jphilipswell everything in this doc really :D - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hzvQURi8l--GrfqsxP9c0tWNUzrkbZjZTiVxGUegALg/edit#22:36
ochosithe notifyd thing is feasible now22:36
ochosii added some settings to it so the log doesn't overflow by default anymore22:36
bluesabreNice22:36
bluesabreochosi: whats the minimum release we need for that?22:36
ochosibefore that used to be a bit of a problem, users would have had to clean up manually..22:36
ochosibluesabre: hmm, lemme check...22:36
ochosioh dear, it's not yet released22:38
ochosii wanted to test and merge one final MR22:38
ochosibut then focused on 4.16pre122:38
ochosiso i guess that's too late for 20.1022:38
bluesabre:)22:38
bluesabreI've been thinking about how to best test/vote on the changes and additions outlined in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hzvQURi8l--GrfqsxP9c0tWNUzrkbZjZTiVxGUegALg/edit#heading=h.vc9bmc9pgxg822:39
bluesabreI wonder if we should package up these changes in a PPA or re-spun ISO so they can more easily be taken for a spin22:39
bluesabreIs there a good platform (besides maybe a Google form) where we can vote on a pile of different things?22:40
bluesabreOr should we just blow up the mailing list with individual proposals22:41
pleia2google forms are very easy ;)22:41
pleia2but people do like chiming in when they really care about something on the mailing list22:42
jphilipsgoogle doc was shared with the ML over 6 months ago22:43
jphilipshttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2020-March/011876.html22:43
pleia2yeah, it's just a lot to consume at once22:44
bluesabreUnit193: welcome22:46
bluesabreSo yeah, I think sending the proposals individually to the ML will help with the consumption problem22:47
bluesabreLot of work upfront, but hopefully will lead to an actionable response22:47
Unit193Howdy.22:47
ochosisry folks, i need to get some rest...22:48
ochosii have a working day ahead tomorrow22:48

jphilipspeople can give their opinion to these menu changes - https://github.com/Xubuntu/xubuntu-default-settings/issues/622:51

jphilipsalso opinions on adding a 'Sound' entry to the settings manager - https://github.com/Xubuntu/xubuntu-default-settings/pull/922:54
ubot93Pull 9 in Xubuntu/xubuntu-default-settings "Setting Manager: Add Sound entry to Hardware section" [Open]22:54
jphilipsthere was the question about including qt5 libs in the default install22:56
bluesabreOh right22:56
pleia2I left a comment about one of the items in Issue 6 (but that should also be part of the mailing list emails that will be sent out)22:56
ubot93Bug 6 in Launchpad itself "'next 10 entries' at bottom of page" [Medium, Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/622:56
* pleia2 pat pat ubot93 22:56
bluesabreSome background, qt5-style-plugins: Makes QT apps look like GTK apps in Xubuntu, but brings in some QT dependencies22:56
bluesabreBetter default support, larger install size22:57
Unit193We don't ship any Qt5 applications, seems rather silly...  Also, that's rather deprecated, so wouldn't be the best idea.22:58
bluesabredeprecated is good to know22:59
jphilipsas part of my recommendations of new apps/packages to add is keepassxc, which does include the same qt5 libs used in qt5-style-plugins23:00
jphilipsthe full list can be found here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/145vm29WnxgYm4Y_8guaGDAblZT5sRjZ3jhKRktgX1No/edit#gid=023:01

ubot93Issue 5 in Xubuntu/xubuntu-default-settings "New seed software" [Open]23:02
bluesabreThat's an instance where we should probably review and comment on the bug report to filter the list down a bit. We can indicate as much in the ML23:02
bluesabreSo yeah, let's take the software discussions to the ML so we're not swamping everybody with a sudden list of decisions :)23:04

Unit193...Are these seed adjustments serious?  Was this filed April 1st?23:08
pleia2have a good evening, all23:08
jphilipsUnit193: yes its serious, see the github issue. was mentioned in ML as well23:09
jphilipsnight all23:09
bluesabreIt's not an omnibus package, I'd say each item is up for discussion/filtering down/voting23:09
jphilipsall are welcome to comment in the spreadsheet as well or the github issue23:11
jphilipsbluesabre: is your 4.16 PPA updated once a week, so a new build will be coming out tomorrow?23:13
bluesabrejphilips: it's all manual, but tomorrow is a Saturday, so good chance I'll get some updates in23:14
jphilipssweet. thanks23:15
jphilipsdoes launchpad not have any automated means to run builds?23:15
bluesabrePretty much limited to on-commit (not ideal) or automating uploads from somewhere else23:23
bluesabrebbl23:26
