(and I guess I'll put on my DAT hat in a bit too :-)) 17:04 dholbach: re: ircc, myself and Tm_T should be here. 17:04 dholbach, the major work was dat v2 17:04 Pici, great 17:04 I'm somewhat around anyway (: 17:04 (dat v2 means the Dev Advisory Team overview page we use to track who we're in touch with, who progressed how far on their journey as a developer, etc.) 17:05 and we have a cool instance up here http://ec2-50-19-67-12.compute-1.amazonaws.com 17:05 that's really cool 17:05 up until we mostly used Trello cards for that and a list of uploads per developer, which got slightly out of hand after a couple of cycles 17:05 no doubt :) 17:05 trello overflow :) 17:05 Andrew Starr-Bocchicchio did a PHENOMENAL job on this 17:06 dholbach, +1 17:06 one stumbling block we're currently having is the deployment 17:06 I said I was happy to host this on holba.ch 17:06 but just ran out of time looking into it 17:06 sorry about that 17:06 I assume it's on some random person's ec2 account? 17:06 hi Pici and all 17:07 pleia2, yes, but it might get a bit too expensive over time 17:07 no doubt 17:07 it crunches quite a bit of LP data, etc 17:07 jcastro is using hpcloud for discourse, I wonder if you could get a similar deal 17:07 I'll have a chat with him later on 17:07 great 17:07 dholbach, if anyone needs hosting space m ready to give as I bought a new physical server 17:07 I'm no expert when it comes to these things 17:08 dholbach: he might make you juju deploy it 17:08 :) 17:08 yeah 17:08 and "normally deploying" it is not my forté either ;-) 17:08 that's probably why we got stuck where we are right now 17:08 * pleia2 nods 17:08 in between a transition where I'm blocking things :) 17:08 that's also why activity went down quite a bit 17:08 so we have to figure this out soon 17:08 I'll talk to jcastro tomorrow 17:09 promise! :) 17:09 thanks dholbach! 17:09 coolbhavi, we could probably also do with some restaffing 17:09 huats stepped down 17:09 coolbhavi: also, looking forward to seeing you at fosscon next week :) 17:09 and some other members got busy with other projects as well 17:09 dholbach, sorry here too as m sucked into HPUX and HP labs 17:09 pleia2, same here :) 17:10 coolbhavi, I could imagine that as soon as we set up the new tool, start using it and fixing a few bugs, we might as well train a few new contributors in the team 17:10 dholbach, yes +1 17:10 and being on the DAT is wonderfully social task 17:10 so we might just want to pick and ask the right people :) 17:10 coolbhavi, that's something the two of us could probably look into together? 17:11 dholbach, yes can send out a email reg restaffing and a dat overview 17:11 that'd be fantastic 17:11 \o/ 17:11 shall we have a chat tomorrow after I talked to jcastro? 17:11 yes 17:11 awesome 17:12 I think apart from that there's not much to report - just that we should get on the tasks mentioned above quite urgently :) 17:12 pleia2, any more questions? :-D 17:12 nope, thanks coolbhavi and dholbach! 17:12 * dholbach hugs coolbhavi 17:12 thanks a bunch! 17:12 * coolbhavi hugs dholbach back 17:12 #topic Catch up with the IRC Council 17:13 thanks CC 17:13 :) 17:13 Hi 17:13 welcome Tm_T, Pici and AlanBell! 17:13 we haven't heard much from the IRCC lately, hopefully this means all is well :) 17:13 hi 17:14 any concerns, challenges, success stories you'd care to share? 17:14 yeah, we have been a bit quiet 17:14 o/ sorry to be late 17:14 hey sabdfl! 17:14 I think things are generally OK, we have been missing a few meetings though 17:15 We approved a new Ubuntu Member recently (m4v) though :) 17:15 Long overdue 17:15 YAY! 17:15 What's been keeping you busy since we last met? :) 17:15 we are on top of most general issues like assigning cloaks, and yes, we approved M4V for membership, there are no outstanding applications 17:15 another "oh, they weren't already a member?" :) 17:15 Pretty much. 17:16 I do notice that next cycle we will have some restaffing to do 17:16 * AlanBell checks on launchpad 17:16 There hasn't been many disputes that have needed the IRCC itself to intervene, which is nice. 17:16 great 17:16 that's great 17:16 end of December we expire 17:16 there was a bit of a dispute in the norway loco channel, but we worked with the loco leader to resolve that 17:16 did you have any plans or tasks from one of the last UDSes? 17:18 I think one of the ongoing tasks is we should have a session or two on every cycle about IRC 17:19 did you get feedback in those sessions? like anything that needs changing? or are you at a stage where you take care of normal business and everything's fine? :) 17:19 making us visible, so to speak 17:19 dholbach: more like I think we should make them more often 17:20 ah, gotcha 17:20 one form of communication that is 17:20 we were doing new operators every UDS, in line with the dev cycle, then the UDS cycle changed a bit wiht the online UDS 17:21 so, when do we start the restaffing process given that we expire at the end of the year? 17:21 right, that makes sense 17:21 like 2-3 weeks before the expiry? 17:21 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil/Restaffing should have more info 17:22 ah OK, so plenty of time still :) 17:22 is there any help the IRCC needs or feedback or anything else? 17:23 The only thing I can think of is with the recent Edge announcement, we didn't have anywhere to route people initially. 17:24 don't think so, and I should note that I am pretty happy about the increased communications around the Ubuntu Edge thing compared to other surprises 17:24 Pici: yeah we did :) 17:24 that's good to hear 17:24 :-) 17:25 great 17:25 AlanBell: well, we did, but I don't think we were all in the loop from the get go. Anyway, it was much better than prior releases 17:25 improvement, definitely 17:26 also I liked much of the contact relating the forums incident 17:26 Tm_T, you mean the analysis? or the communications during the incident? 17:27 communication that it happened and that it might affect irc channels by increasing traffic 17:27 right 17:27 are the forums back to normal now? I haven't been tracking that one closely 17:27 AlanBell: I believe so. 17:27 AlanBell: up and running 17:28 just that login is changed, I have two accounts now 17:28 yes, you log in through SSO and through some magic you can reconcile accounts 17:28 ok 17:28 We had a spike in traffic, but it wasn't as bad as I had expected. 17:28 I didn't check for too long how that exactly works, I must admit 17:29 anyway, improvements on communication, I like 17:29 I'm done with questions for the IRCC - I'm very happy with the work you're doing. 17:29 Would be nice to get some communication about how to reconcile the forums accounts (sorry for speaking out of turn) 17:29 the forums council has been handling that 17:30 maybe you can ping elfy about this 17:30 IdleOne: it is available if you try to log on to the forums looks OK to me 17:30 AlanBell: my account had a 2 added to it 17:30 yeah, elfy helped me out 17:30 idletwo 17:30 :) 17:30 pleia2: but... you normally have a 2 ;) 17:30 or idlethree perhaps :) 17:31 anyway, not a big deal and I'll ping elfy. thank you :) 17:31 perfect :) 17:31 AlanBe11 17:31 !! 17:31 pleia2, sabdfl: any more questions for the IRCC from you? 17:31 I'm all set 17:34 thanks Pici, AlanBell and Tm_T (and IdleOne!) 17:34 not sure if we lost sabdfl 17:34 :) 17:34 You know where to find us if you need anything :) 17:34 thanks o/ 17:34 that's right :) 17:34 thanks 17:34 thanks a bunch! 17:34 #topic Any other business 17:34 does anyone have anything else? 17:34 I'm all set 17:37 ok, thanks everyone 17:37 meeting up with the Doc team next meeting 17:38 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
