I guess I mean, are there any things the TB needs to examine during this meeting? 21:03:39 okay, coll 21:03:39 er, cool 21:04:03 [TOPIC] Brain storm review 21:04:10 * stgraber waves 21:04:11 I didn't see any new replies... 21:04:15 kees: not that I c an see 21:04:26 kees: no; TBH, I think at this point we should call this round "done" 21:04:29 okay 21:04:41 but wrt. to this, I don't think that even this round was terribly useful 21:04:53 yeah, it seemed pretty quiet. 21:05:15 even the most favorite one only got some 60 votes or so 21:05:16 should we do one more cycle starting in may and if it's similarly quiet, just drop it? 21:05:42 we could also bury it now and see whether anyone complains 21:05:50 but we should perhaps do this when we have more TB members 21:06:01 bonsoir stgraber 21:06:12 agreed. let's bump it until we have >3 at the meeting :) 21:06:25 [TOPIC] Scan the mailing list archive 21:06:57 only thing here might be the release cycle changes 21:07:03 I think we should defer this until after UDS 21:07:09 yeah, agreed. 21:07:18 although I guess most things already popped up on the ML 21:07:30 (which was actually a really good discussion IMHO) 21:07:31 I'm going to go through the ubuntu-devel thread a little more carefully and see if I can comment usefully on any of it 21:08:00 I believe the plan is for someone to e-mail the TB with a real proposal shortly after UDS, we can pick it up from there 21:08:16 ok 21:08:26 I also see "Flavor Review Request for Ubuntu GNOME" 21:08:48 oh right, I was meaning to reply to that, but forgot, sorry 21:08:55 yeah, me too :P 21:09:07 ah yeah, jbicha poked me about that one on IRC... should have followed up too 21:09:14 I'm generally in favor of it. I'd like to see the same for a MATE flavor once it's all the way in Debian too. 21:09:26 and slangasek asked me to check the current state of Kylin and start creating the packageset and matching teams for it 21:09:28 hi :) the rolling thing is a bit disruptive but I think we still want to go ahead with our proposal for now 21:09:39 hey jbicha 21:09:42 kees, MATE? 21:09:58 mdz: yes, Gnome 2 fork. It's wonderful. 21:10:04 jbicha: with "All of the packages we need have been in Ubuntu since last September." you mean all the build deps for the gnome3 PPA? 21:10:38 jbicha: as I understand it, the gnome PPA is actually delivering what you want, or do you envision the current raring gnome (i. e. mostly 3.6) as that remix, and just use different default settings with it? 21:10:52 pitti: I meant things like ubuntu-gnome-meta and ubuntu-gnome-default-settings (which contains our minimal artwork) 21:11:49 jbicha: ok, so ubuntu gnome == what's in the distro, and the PPA is the staging area for contributors still? 21:12:20 the PPA does not provide us with daily image builds or recognition as an equal flavor with like Kubuntu or Xubuntu which is nice for marketing purposes 21:13:59 there is demand for images with the GNOME3 PPA pre-installed...I don't know if we want to discuss that at this meeting? 21:14:12 so in general I'm very favorable of this; we should cross-check it against the list of requirements for flavours 21:14:22 stgraber, do you happen to have that link handy? ^ 21:14:31 yeah, no PPAs in an official image, please. :) 21:14:37 ^ + 1 21:15:07 kees: ok, I wasn't planning to discuss that today either :) 21:15:09 pitti: one sec 21:15:11 jbicha: but for the RR we'll eventually have the same problem of having these kind of staging areas which are eventually landed in the distro; I guess that'll use a very similar model like the gnome3 ppa 21:15:43 pitti: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecognizedFlavors 21:16:15 by the way we do have a staging ppa now too for stuff that isn't ready for the Ubuntu archives https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3-staging/+packages?field.series_filter=raring 21:16:35 stgraber: thanks. yeah, it seems like this qualifies easily. 21:17:06 community interest (point 1) is certainly there 21:17:36 jbicha: did ricotz, darkxst, and you sign the CoC? (I assume so) 21:17:52 the GNOME3 PPA was for stuff that we thought was ready for Ubuntu but sharing the archives with Unity meant we had to wait longer 21:17:55 jbicha is in ~u-desktop, so that covers upload 21:17:59 pitti: yes all 3 of us have 21:18:08 yeah, I'm pretty sure that Ubuntu GNOME qualifies. 21:18:17 and all three of you have been active for a long time already 21:18:32 they'll still need to talk to the cdimage team to make sure that there's enough space and resources to build the images, but that's a separate matter 21:18:34 "follow release process" is somewhat in the air now :) 21:18:44 but given that GNOME defined our original one, that's also ok :) 21:18:48 right 21:19:22 so as for "Guidelines to become and remain a recognized flavor", I think you're all set 21:20:00 so +1 from me 21:20:08 yeah, I've emailed my +1. 21:20:40 sabdfl gave his +1. mdz, stgraber: ? 21:21:00 I think i need to abstain, lacking context 21:21:12 multitasking right now also 21:21:46 +1 21:22:27 what is the next technical step? emailing IS? 21:22:59 I think so; we need sign-off that there's enough space, and then ask the release team to set up daily isos 21:23:09 so I'm going to go ahead and create packagesets + upload teams for both Kylin and UbuntuGnome 21:23:26 the respective teams can then apply with the DMB to get upload rights 21:23:30 okay 21:23:42 if they wish to get daily builds, they'll have to contact the cdimage team to check for space and resources for the build 21:23:53 * kees nods 21:24:02 and the cdimage team may ask IS to check for space on the build machines, mirrors, tapes if required 21:24:39 [ACTION] stgraber to create packagesets + upload teams for Kylin and UbuntuGnome 21:24:39 * meetingology stgraber to create packagesets + upload teams for Kylin and UbuntuGnome 21:24:48 so I think we just want to highlight in the minutes that we have two new flavours, point to their wiki pages and I'll work with them to get everything setup 21:25:02 [TOPIC] Check up on community bugs 21:25:04 sounds good, yeah 21:25:08 we have no open bugs... 21:25:09 we don't add new flavours everyday, so I expect I'll have to make part of the process as I go ;) 21:25:23 [TOPIC] other business? 21:25:24 heh 21:26:08 *crickets* 21:26:26 next chair? mdz? 21:26:26 nothing from me 21:27:21 hi, I am Jack from UbuntuKylin team. Is there anything we should go ahead? 21:27:48 JackYu: I think you're okay for the moment. stgraber will be pushing some buttons to finalize things. 21:27:52 JackYu: I think we have everything we need to proceed and start setting up your flavour 21:28:31 mdz: if the next meeting time isn't good for being chair, feel free to update the wiki. :) I'll mark you down for now. 21:28:32 Great. Thanks! 21:28:44 I think that's it for this time. Anything else? 21:29:01 kees, it's fine, thanks and sorry 21:29:08 heh 21:29:09 np 21:29:15 alright everyone, thanks! 21:29:17 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
