any worries or things to look out for? 15:04:09 o/ 15:04:23 I'll feel much better once that unity is in, and works :) 15:04:28 (just waving hi, not noting any worries) 15:04:35 I think Kubuntu is good from smoketesting today but I still don't have precise images working on my arm board (of ubuntu desktop never mind kubuntu) 15:05:14 hi, no mail from MOTU this week, nothing big I'm aware of 15:05:14 I'm not aware of true blockers in ubuntu desktop yet 15:05:27 (again, that's pre-unity landing :-P *knocking on wood*) 15:05:42 pitti: what about wallpapers? 15:06:07 Riddell: oh, we still have the old one? /me puts that on his list 15:06:17 The MIR and security team have been doing a great job on plowing through the MIRs for server, that was one of the worrisome points. 15:06:39 pitti: I don't know but I heard rumours your artists haven't got round to either getting the precise ones in or the FFe needed for them 15:07:04 I am on wallpapers 15:07:12 pitti: NBS and component mismatches all good? 15:07:15 doing reviews this morning 15:07:25 Cimi: got a FFe? 15:07:36 Riddell: mopping up the last things; kenvandine is on fixing telepathy-qt4, to get back beer on precise_probs 15:07:37 Riddell, not yet, we don't have the default set either 15:07:50 Riddell, we are targeting at beginning next week 15:07:54 pitti: oh interesting, is he talking to shadeslayer about telepathy-qt4? 15:08:07 Cimi: beginning next week is beta freeze 15:08:07 * pitti relays that 15:08:25 Riddell, Cimi - we're beta frozen now. 15:08:27 Riddell, we are not ready for them today 15:08:28 this is pretty late 15:08:42 skaet, they are published in the bugreport 15:08:50 skaet, but we need higher resolution 15:08:57 skaet, and few of them might get removed 15:08:59 we can do Monday under the condition that the size doesn't grow noticeably 15:09:12 if it's bigger than the current one and overflows images, we have to do it post-beta 15:09:16 Cimi, is what's up there now going to be ok for ubuntu-docs to do their screenshots from? 15:09:30 with "noticeably" == <= +200 kB or so 15:09:55 pitti, we'll probably have less wallpapers than ubuntu wallpapers in 11.10 package 15:10:08 Cimi: sounds promising :) 15:10:28 ;-) 15:10:58 o/ 15:11:16 Cimi, what about the screen shots? 15:11:43 skaet, screen shots are taken against default wallpapers, isn't it? 15:11:51 *wallpaper 15:11:51 Cimi, yes 15:12:00 I thought we'd been told the default wallpaper was changing a bit too 15:12:10 Cimi: will the scrollbar and slider behaviour be changing in 12.04? 15:12:12 skaet, the default wallpaper won't change that much 15:12:18 how about it not change at all? 15:12:36 Riddell, you mean the left-click thing? 15:12:40 then it won't affect screenshots 15:12:45 Cimi: I guess so yes 15:12:54 cjwatson, it changed so subtly, you won't notice 15:12:54 if just the non-default ones change, it's not crucial to press into b2 15:13:07 same for the subtle default change, I figure 15:13:20 Cimi: I love being told that kind of thing ... actually not really 15:13:29 all the process of the LTS is to taking up 6 cycles and refining, the wallpaper is part of this process and is a refinements of the last 15:13:46 if it's so subtle you won't notice, we could skip any screenshot risk by not taking that change 15:14:09 Cimi: are your processes aligned to the ubuntu release cycle including freezes? 15:14:30 Riddell, not really, but I am personally aware of them 15:14:57 is there someone aware of them or is that a team failure? 15:15:07 Riddell, I've asked the final default wallpaper, I'll look at it in a minute 15:15:35 Riddell, I'm not speaking of the system team now, I am dealing of a designer thing 15:15:43 skaet: maybe an action to ensure the design team is aware of the cycle they are working to? 15:16:01 Riddell, yes, I was making a note of that. 15:16:14 systems team is doing great :-) and it's not that designers are doing bad, just that the selection and all the contest took more time 15:16:28 Cimi: what is the systems team? 15:16:42 Riddell, the team I am representing now 15:16:58 Riddell, I am an engineer of Systems but I work in London with designers 15:17:02 #action - review design schedules, and dx system team release shedules against Ubuntu release schedule at UDS for Q 15:17:02 * meetingology - review design schedules, and dx system team release shedules against Ubuntu release schedule at UDS for Q 15:17:09 Cimi: isn't that Unity services and settings? 15:17:36 Riddell, it is 15:17:37 Riddell, yes, its the systems aspect. 15:17:59 "systems" seems awfae generic sounding, that's why I'm getting confused 15:18:09 anyway more important things to discuss I expect :) 15:18:21 Riddell, I will make sure designers will respect release schedule more firmly 15:18:28 no worries, skaet as well 15:18:37 I apologize for the issues if there were any 15:19:01 mm, I never knew what Systems meant myself :) 15:19:27 (maybe that should be "[DX Systems] Release Meeting 2012-03-30", since most of us aren't DX?) 15:20:03 ..? 15:20:14 yah, sorry 15:20:17 .. 15:20:24 :) 15:20:27 A documentation freeze exception (and adjustment of the translations deadlines) was made for ubuntu-docs and the server guide - to give them more time to get the content created. Anyone who is able to help them with parts, would be welcome.

The installer sprint helped a lot 15:36:07 But I'm prudent, Unity never land without a bunch of surprises. So we'll know the real status of 12.04 once it's in. 15:36:32 * skaet nods 15:36:59 pitti, any ETA for a fix for bug 916291? It is now blocking oneric main and universe testing 15:37:01 Launchpad bug 916291 in libreoffice (Ubuntu Precise) "failed to upgrade from Oneiric to Precise: ERROR: Cannot determine language! - exit status 134" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/916291 15:37:11 upgrade testing I mean 15:37:21 jibel: we actually believed it to be fixed already 15:37:35 so, as we currently didn't debug yet what's causing it, still a couple of days 15:37:41 which will unfortunately mean post-b2 :( 15:37:52 ok, thanks 15:39:29 .. I think, next question/comment? 15:40:38 ogra_: great news 15:40:40 scott_work, astraljava, highvoltage, Riddell - any FFE's being waited on for your images? 15:40:53 not that I know of 15:41:09 skaet: nope 15:41:11 * skaet puts ticky mark in the Kubuntu column. :) 15:41:24 (stgraber did a good job of poking me all the time to get things in on time) 15:41:26 * skaet ticky marks Edubuntu. :) 15:41:41 highvoltage: teachers pet! 15:41:51 hie hie 15:42:09 lol 15:43:01 any other FFE's that folks want to see in Beta2 but haven't been commented on? 15:43:45 skaet: no FFe's that i am aware of 15:44:04 i believe all we had are already completed 15:44:39 thanks scott-work. 15:45:33 also, thanks tumbleweed for the update on Universe last week, attached it to the minutes from last week. :) 15:45:43 not sure about xubuntu, i asked in channel and astral.java is away from computer at the moment (who is here for xubuntu) 15:46:12 scott-work, he was here at the start of the meeting, so something must have come up. :/ 15:46:22 BTW, there was a volunteer to test powerpc images for Xubuntu on (IIRC) the QA list today. 15:46:58 volunteers to test the kubuntu images on arm welcome 15:47:05 skaet: i think he was on a tram with a laptop and low battery 15:47:41 ScottK, interesting, that's not one on Xubuntu's manifest for this release. 15:47:54 Yes. They specifically asked if it could be added back. 15:48:03 IIRC it was just dropped due to lack of testers. 15:48:25 pitti, cjwatson, ^ thoughts? 15:49:02 question for xubuntu really; if someone wants them and can test them, sure 15:49:24 we should just keep in mind that adding a powerpc image quadruples image build time 15:49:38 https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-qa/2012-March/002054.html 15:49:42 in case they need fast turnarounds for bug fixes 15:49:58 but that's not a big blocker, of course 15:50:18 skaet: I'm not sure there are Xubuntu people active on that list. Could you follow up with them since they aren't here? 15:50:24 I'll follow up with Xubuntu team offline. 15:50:25 :) 15:50:43 Great. 15:50:57 * skaet sees ScottK is faster at typing than she is. :) 15:50:57 the new-powerpc-buildd RT looks days away from completion 15:50:59 ... 15:51:26 .. 15:51:35 anything else before we wrap up? 15:52:05 Things look surprisingly good! 15:52:28 Thanks for your participation, brendand, jibel, mdeslaur, cjwatson, dbarth, Daviey, arosales, fabo, pitti, Cimi, Riddell, stgraber, highvoltage, ogra_, tumbleweed 15:52:33 #endmeeting
