seb128bdmurray, thanks16:11
seb128how do we get moving? I would chair the meeting if I was familiar enough with the process but I don't feel like I can do that efficiently today16:11

ddstreetthis hasn't been discussed for a while, but I think having only sil2100 on the list doesn't seem optimal; anyone else want to volunteer to be on the chairing rotation?16:13

ddstreetok that's all the previous action items16:17
ddstreetthe only application is from me, for a ubuntu-support-uploaders team16:17
ddstreetdoes the rest of the board want to consider that now or defer it to a meeting where more members are present?16:18
bdmurrayAre there people currently interested  and ready to join that team?16:19
ddstreetyes16:19
seb128I think we can review it now, or at least start discussing it16:19
ddstreeti actually am trying to hand this application off to a colleague, but haven't done that just yet16:20
ddstreetok let's do at least an initial discussions then16:20
ddstreet#topic ubuntu-support-uploaders team application16:20
ddstreetfor clarification, this request is to create a new DMB-managed team that has upload rights for a new packageset16:21
bdmurraywill this team have the ability to approve their own members?16:21
* bdmurray is reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers/TeamDelegation16:21
ddstreetinitially, the only team member would be me (assuming i haven't passed this off to someone before its approved), and the initial first package is sosreport16:21
ddstreetbdmurray the DMB docs on this aren't exactly clear, at least to my reading, but no this would be a standard DMB-managed team that can't manage its own members; new members would need to apply to the DMB to join16:22
bdmurrayokay16:23
seb128why do you feel like there is a need for a such team?16:23
seb128and who do you envision to be interested to join it?16:24
ddstreetso that the ACL for all the support team's packages is kept in a single packageset, so new members don't need to apply for PPU for a collection of packages16:24
ddstreetre: joiners, members of Canonical support and/or community members who support Ubuntu16:25
ddstreeti believe the setup would be very similar to the 'ubuntu-server' packageset, which is ACL'ed by the ~ubuntu-server-dev team16:26
ddstreetso anyone on the Canonical server team i suspect is familiar with that and understands the usefulness of the setup16:26
bdmurrayFor the server team I'd think its a stepping stone to core dev though.16:27
ddstreetseb128 if i understand the ~ubuntu-desktop team correctly (which has ACL to upload into the ubuntu-desktop packageset), that is different as far as managing its own members16:27
ddstreetbdmurray could be, though i don't think that's necessarily a goal for support members16:28
seb128I see the interest of creating a set, providing the content of the set has value to some people who aren't going to apply to more16:28
seb128I'm not really familiar with what the support team usually needs though, nor with sosreport16:29
ddstreetsosreport, systemtap, crash, gdb, etc16:29
ddstreetpackageset additions would have to be approved by the DMB of course16:30
ddstreetinitially it's only sosreport16:30
seb128right, I just foresee that to be of real use that set would need to include things like gdb and apport16:30
bdmurrayGiven that any changes, of people or packages, would be managed by the DMB I'm fine with creating this team.16:30
seb128which probably creates an higher contribution trust level than sosreport16:30
ddstreetseb128 absolutely, i just want to defer adding those packages until we can be sure we actually want/need upload rights for them16:31
ddstreetgdb, for example, generally hasn't really required us to upload fixes for it16:31
ddstreeteven though we use it extensively16:31
seb128I feel like people doing those packages should probably aim for coredev16:31
ddstreetthat might change in the future if/when debuginfod is implemented for ubuntu16:32
seb128doing uploads for*16:32
ddstreetseb128 why do you feel that? support's goal is very different and very far removed from devel release work16:32
ddstreetyou may be viewing this from product engineering perspective16:32
seb128it's more that I see some of those components as key ubuntu packages, preinstalled16:33
seb128so I wouldn't hand upload right for those lightly16:33
seb128and to win the trust needed you would probably need significant uploads to Ubuntu16:33
ddstreetthat seems more like a question of which specific packages should be in the packageset though, not if the packageset should be created in the first place?16:33
seb128right16:34
ddstreetif you haven't ever used sosreport, for example, do you think only coredevs should be able to upload that?16:34
seb128but the path leads me to wonder if the packageset is going to be of real use16:34
seb128no16:34
ddstreetcrash likewise is heavily used by support, but i doubt if that really needs a coredev to upload it16:34
seb128right16:35
ddstreetin any case, the initial application only involves sosreport16:35
seb128I don't see an issue with creating that packageset16:35
ddstreetany more q from anyone?16:35
ddstreetsince i'm applying for the packageset/team, i'll abstain from the voting16:36
ddstreeti would like to get things rolling before the next meeting though, is it ok with everyone here if I ask for a vote (and any further discussion) to happen on the ML?16:36
seb128that's ok with me16:37
bdmurraythat's fine with me16:37
ddstreet#action ddstreet request discussion/voting on ubuntu-support-uploaders continue on ML16:37
meetingologyACTION: ddstreet request discussion/voting on ubuntu-support-uploaders continue on ML16:37
ddstreetok thanks, i'll send an email to the list to follow up16:37
seb128just for clarification, my questions were basically aimed at getting a feeling on the value of a such set, but I've not been in the DMB long enough to really understand if that's something we should give consideration to16:38
ddstreet#topic open TB bugs16:38
ddstreetseb128 yep i understand, and i think the DMB might benefit from more defined docs to help new members (and old members!) understand what exactly the process and policies are16:39
ddstreetanyway, moving on16:39
ddstreet#subtopic fnordahl PPU16:39
seb128right, sorry for derailling thins :)16:39
seb128things16:39
ddstreetnp :)16:39
ddstreet#link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-community/+bug/196779516:39
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1967795 in ubuntu-community "[TB/DMB] PPU for ~fnordahl" [Undecided, Fix Released]16:39
ddstreetlook like this is done16:39
ddstreet#topic AOB16:39
ddstreet#subtopic No single official source of DMB rules/procedures/policies, and KB wiki page is not complete or correct16:40
ddstreetI don't know if we want to discuss this here and/or in the ML16:40
ddstreetand this might just be my personal opinion16:40
seb128ML or another time16:41
seb128I need to wrap in a few minutes at least16:41
ddstreet#subtopic Suggestion (from ddstreet) to discontinue use of private DMB IRC channel, and keep all official communication public16:41
ddstreetthis also is just a suggestion from me16:41
ddstreetno need to discuss now, if everyone needs to wrap16:41
ddstreetany comments before we end?16:41
ddstreetor any other AOB topics?16:42
seb128not from me16:42
ddstreetok let's wrap, thanks everyone o/16:42
