We did agree to keep the UTC time, right? 21:03:04 So the e-mail was to share that decision with anyone else following the list? 21:03:05 I believe so 21:03:18 yeah, I think the idea was to wait for everyone to be on DST (now done) and see if that works, if it does, then stay on UTC 21:03:37 Cool. 21:04:28 #topic ubuntu studio LTS status for 12.04 21:04:36 scott-work: hello 21:04:49 hello stgraber 21:05:01 et al 21:05:24 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/12.04/LTS-Proposal 21:06:24 this is looking better-fleshed-out this time, thanks 21:08:17 i had some help :) 21:08:18 soren: marking your action has done, thanks for the e-mail 21:08:38 the CVE review doesn't look too bad, indeed 21:08:46 * soren tips his hat in stgraber's general direction 21:09:01 * scott-work wants to note that a lightning storm is moving in and he might lose connection 21:09:19 libav-extra is the main source of recent CVEs, but I guess that many of those are probably carried over from libav 21:09:57 * kees is late but here now. 21:10:03 2008 clearly sucked for AV packages ;-) 21:10:10 kees: cool, so we actually have quorum now, thanks for joining! 21:11:32 * stgraber runs an extra germinate diff with kubuntu and edubuntu added, to see what's truely unique to ubuntu-studio 21:13:51 roughly getting an extra 40 source packages out of the list (that will have to be coordinated with the other flavours) 21:14:22 so that's (if my script is correct) the list of source packages that are only shipped by ubuntu-studio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/912067/ 21:14:33 and that's the same list but only for these with ubuntu delta: http://paste.ubuntu.com/912068/ 21:15:02 I think I'm OK with this at this point 21:15:33 nothing is jumping out at me as obviously unsuitable, and the US team is clearly dedicated 21:15:40 the only scary thing I see in the list is linux-lowlatency 21:16:14 but I must admit not being too familiar with the delta between our standard kernel and linux-lowlatency 21:17:00 that one did get explicitly discussed and agreed 21:17:12 stgraber: it is very close the the -generic kernel and does not require the invasive patch ala -rt kernel 21:17:18 cool 21:17:20 * kees nods 21:17:29 are there any plan to make lowlatency variants of the LTS backport kernels? 21:17:30 https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-p-lowlatency 21:17:49 stgraber: i am unaware of any plans 21:18:34 at least at the current time 21:19:16 ok, any other question or are we ready to vote? 21:20:08 I have no further questions. 21:21:53 #startvote Ubuntu Studio 3 years LTS for 12.04 21:22:00 #vote Ubuntu Studio 3 years LTS for 12.04 21:22:00 Please vote on: Ubuntu Studio 3 years LTS for 12.04 21:22:00 Public votes can be registered by saying +1, +0 or -1 in channel, (private votes don't work yet, but when they do it will be by messaging the channel followed by +1/-1/+0 to me) 21:22:16 +1 21:22:16 +1 received from cjwatson 21:22:19 +1 21:22:19 +1 received from stgraber 21:22:21 +1 21:22:21 +1 received from soren 21:23:33 +1 21:23:33 +1 received from kees 21:23:58 #envote 21:24:00 #endvote 21:24:00 Voting ended on: Ubuntu Studio 3 years LTS for 12.04 21:24:00 Votes for:4 Votes against:0 Abstentions:0 21:24:00 Motion carried 21:24:18 good, one more LTS flavour ;) 21:24:25 thank you :) 21:24:37 o/ 21:24:39 thank *you*, you're the one who just signed up for a bunch of work ;- 21:24:41 ;-) 21:24:50 micahg: ? 21:25:26 just wanted to point out libav-extra has been folded into libav, but I guess it's not applicable for the LTS as well that next cycle it's likely to drop to universe, but again not relevant, sorry 21:26:03 I guess it'll just mean less work overall? 21:26:04 and libav-extra is usually uploaded in concert with libav by the security-team 21:26:36 good to know 21:26:39 well, it'll be more work in 12.10 as the security team won't be supporting it anymore, but in 12.04 it's fine 21:27:05 ah, I see 21:27:07 OK 21:27:28 Riddell: ping 21:27:30 it's still separate sources in precise 21:27:32 hi 21:27:38 #topic Kubuntu Future 21:27:49 * ScottK looks up. 21:27:56 as you'll know canonical doesn't want to support kubuntu in future 21:28:14 so I wanted to check the tech board was fine to have an ubuntu flavour sponsored by other companies 21:28:25 I know it's not an especially techy question 21:28:49 but if e.g. we had to change name because canonical didn't want it sponsored by other companies it would need tech board support 21:29:22 .. 21:29:30 We're fine having flavours not sponsored by Canonical, so I don't see why another company would be a problem if it were working within Ubuntu community processes 21:30:02 Has anyone suggested that it might be a problem? 21:30:06 yes we'd certainly want to be within the ubuntu project properly 21:30:08 yeah, I can't imagine a problem with this. 21:30:28 I think Riddell is checking in advance out of an abundance of caution. 21:30:38 yes 21:31:14 Non-Canonical corporate investment in Ubuntu seems like the kind of thing we should welcome with open arms, TBH 21:31:27 I can't speak for trademark issues, that's above my pay grade :) 21:31:48 lovely thanks, that's all I wanted 21:32:08 (Is this actively on the cards, or is it checking in advance - or can you not say right now?) 21:32:30 there's various companies who have contacted me to go "waa we depend on kubuntu, how can we help" 21:32:38 so maybe 21:32:56 the other flavours have been running for years without Canonical sponsorship (outside of the base infrastructure) and I don't see much difference between having some funding coming from another company vs community funding/resources 21:33:03 Sorry, I've completely missed this. Where has this decision been published? 21:33:22 soren: canonical not supporting kubuntu? 21:33:29 I guess I don't pay much attention to Kubuntu "forums" (in the broadest possible sense of "forums") 21:33:33 Riddell: Yes. 21:33:42 don't you follow the #riddell hashtag on twitter?! 21:33:48 No. 21:33:49 I'm insulted 21:33:52 :) 21:33:52 Apparently not Jono's blog either. 21:33:54 Yo ushould be. 21:33:55 soren: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2012-February/005782.html 21:34:00 I follow everyone but you. 21:34:03 :) 21:34:16 * soren hugs Riddell 21:35:24 ScottK: Perhaps not quite as religiously as some. :) 21:35:33 ;-) 21:36:13 FWIW there's also a list of what Canonical provides to all approved flavours here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecognizedFlavors 21:37:04 I'm happy to have that wiki page extended with resources provided by other companies/individuals though edits to that page should probably be done by the TB 21:37:18 makes sense 21:37:45 although maybe links to a separate page unless they're resources committed for flavours in general rather than for a single flavour 21:38:02 I probably should add myself to that list as I'm providing daily upgrade testing for all flavours that have a profile defined in update-manager 21:38:18 cjwatson: indeed, makes sense 21:39:19 Riddell: anything else on this topic? 21:39:27 not from me thanks 21:39:49 #topic Select a chair for the next meeting 21:40:02 everyone happy to let mdz chair the next one? 21:40:12 sure 21:40:14 Sure. 21:40:20 stgraber: Thanks for stepping up this time! 21:40:28 soren: np 21:40:39 #topic AOB 21:40:41 anything? 21:40:48 nothing from me 21:40:52 nope 21:41:31 ok, thanks everyone for attending 21:41:32 nor I 21:41:34 #endmeeting
