Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology. 15:09 15:09 Available commands: action commands idea info link nick 15:09 #topic Review of previous action items 15:10 tsimonq2 to better document what we expect applicants to know (carried over) 15:10 simon isn't here so we'll have to carry over his action item. 15:10 ddstreet to define an initial list of 'flavor teams' 15:11 I sent an email to the list, as far as i can tell the short summary is there is a list of all flavor teams in my email, so we can set the expiry for those teams 15:11 but also, two of the flavors do not have teams 15:11 so, i think we also need to create teams for those 2 flavors, ubuntu-mate and ubuntustudio 15:12 ubuntu studio has a dev team 15:12 it's just not part of the packageset 15:12 (I'm on the dev team for Studio :P) 15:12 ok then probably the packageset should be changed over to use the dev team, instead of just rosco2 15:12 right? 15:12 ddstreet: add an action item RE: that team to me to follow up with Erich Eickmeyer (flavor lead) RE: a 'core' team for them with upload rights 15:13 the dev team includes quite a few people I would not want to give direct upload rights to 15:13 (i'll act as liaison since I"m actually on their team helping with upload sponsors and NEW stuff) 15:13 * Eickmeyer butts-in 15:13 We technically *do* have a core team of which I'm the owner. 15:13 I know that doesn't include upload rights 15:13 Eickmeyer: given YOU do not even have upload rights to the studio packageset yet because you haven't applied, we need to discuss this outside of the DMB meeting 15:14 teward: ack 15:14 #action teward follow up with Erich Eickmeyer (flavor lead) RE: a 'core' team for them with upload rights 15:14 * meetingology teward follow up with Erich Eickmeyer (flavor lead) RE: a 'core' team for them with upload rights 15:14 my two cents. 15:14 ('cause it's a larger discussioN) 15:14 ('cause it's a larger discussion) 15:14 ok that's for ubuntustudio, what about for ubuntu-mate? 15:15 someone should follow up on changing it to use a team for packageset owner instead of just flexiondotorg 15:15 teward you want to take that one as well? 15:15 I don't ahve any direct ties to the MATE team but i'll take the action item 15:16 ack thanks 15:16 #action teward follow up on packageset owning team for ubuntu-mate 15:16 * meetingology teward follow up on packageset owning team for ubuntu-mate 15:16 ok and just so i don't forget we're carrying over simon's item 15:17 #action tsimonq2 to better document what we expect applicants to know (carried over) 15:17 * meetingology tsimonq2 to better document what we expect applicants to know (carried over) 15:17 #meetingtopic DMB Meeting 15:17 (we forgot to set the topic heh) 15:17 thanks 15:18 ok to finish up this action item, someone needs to set expiry time on the existing identified flavor teams, unless anyone else wants that i can take it 15:18 #action ddstreet set expiry time on identified flavor teams 15:18 * meetingology ddstreet set expiry time on identified flavor teams 15:19 also, if anyone disagrees with the list i sent, feel free to comment, of course 15:19 i haven't had time to review it yet ddstreet 15:19 so at least for the next few days don't kick expiry into gear yet if possible 15:19 i want to review it ;0 15:19 ;) * 15:19 ack, i'll wait until next week to do that 15:19 ok, on with the carried over items 15:20 (out of order) 15:20 teward to handle request "Requesting upload rights for ltsp" 15:20 Completed, and rights granted per PPU mechanisms 15:20 teward to handle request "Adding lubuntu-update-notifier to the Lubuntu package set" 15:20 Carry it over, still figuring out the packageset stuff 15:20 unless you know how to do it (I haven't found docs on it) 15:20 BUt i will ultimately ACK that into the packageset as it's only an Lubuntu package 15:21 i do not, i'm happy to let you carry it over :) 15:21 yep 15:21 #action teward to handle request "Adding lubuntu-update-notifier to the Lubuntu package set" 15:21 * meetingology teward to handle request "Adding lubuntu-update-notifier to the Lubuntu package set" 15:21 rafaeldtinoco to handle request "Expired MOTU membership" 15:21 rafaeldtinoco is not around, so we can carry this over also 15:21 #action rafaeldtinoco to handle request "Expired MOTU membership" (carried over) 15:21 * meetingology rafaeldtinoco to handle request "Expired MOTU membership" (carried over) 15:22 yes pls 15:22 sorry, i'll do this week 15:22 ah hi o/ 15:22 ack thanks 15:22 slashd to handle request "Please add new printing-related packages to my upload rights into main" 15:22 rafaeldtinoco: if you don't get time let me know, and I'll give it a review/handle (I literally am bored off my butt with work from home heh) 15:22 teward: alright. tku, will try to have it done but will let u kow 15:23 yep 15:23 NOW onto slashd :) 15:23 slashd any update for printing pkgs item? 15:23 ddstreet: not yet, will do my best to look at it this week. 15:23 been a bit crazy lately for me 15:24 ack, thanks 15:24 #action slashd to handle request "Please add new printing-related packages to my upload rights into main" (carried over) 15:24 * meetingology slashd to handle request "Please add new printing-related packages to my upload rights into main" (carried over) 15:24 ddstreet to write up a proposal for upload access expiry following some period of disuse 15:24 i have not got to this 15:24 #action ddstreet to write up a proposal for upload access expiry following some period of disuse (carried over) 15:24 * meetingology ddstreet to write up a proposal for upload access expiry following some period of disuse (carried over) 15:24 ok i think that's all the carried over items 15:25 yep 15:25 The PPU application is set for next meeting, so skipping over that 15:25 yep, we have no MOTU, SRU Dev, or Core Dev applications 15:25 just a few mailing list items 15:25 #topic Outstanding mailing list requests to assign 15:25 Consider dissolution of packagesets for defunct flavor: edubuntu (teward) 15:26 https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/devel-permissions/2020-March/001466.html 15:26 For those who haven't reviewed my email on the mailing list yet I can summarize: 15:26 Basically, in regards to the LTSP request, it brought up a point that Edubuntu is dead - and as a result the packageset has no need to exist 15:26 my proposal is to remove the packageset and thsoe who need direct upload to those packages can continue to apply via PPU processes 15:26 such dissolution of the packageset will, in my opinion, require quorum vote 15:27 my only question re: that is there appears to be 1 memeber who would then lose existing upload rights 15:27 should we make them re-apply to get upload rights back? 15:28 or create a personal packageset for them? 15:28 specifically, - Alkis Georgopoulos (alkisg) 15:28 Can we invite that person to join the discussion? 15:28 and the edbuntu packageset is https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/packagesets/focal/edubuntu 15:28 Ask them what they'd like. 15:29 it looks like stgraber owuld be affected as well as alkisg, unless stgraber has core and i'm blind at reading their memberships 15:29 question, we would have to approve to this person ppu for all those pkgs then ? 15:29 stgraber is a core dev 15:29 then i am blind :) 15:29 So no impact to him 15:29 rafaeldtinoco: it'd probably make sense to make a packageset for that user - a personal packageset for alkisg 15:29 I'm not opposed to that 15:29 thats why I ask, to make sure we are on the same page 15:29 but because of the dead edubuntu flavor, edubuntu-dev still has uploads. 15:30 If we did that, it'd be individual PPU, not a personal packageset. 15:30 mmm, we would have to do it a PPU then. I think we'll have to loop in alkisg, but I'm hesitant to keep defunct flavors' packagesets around 15:30 just my two cents 15:30 I suggest we propose it to alkisg 15:30 +1 15:30 Before making any decision 15:30 +1 15:31 +1 15:31 anyone want to take that action item? 15:31 so then action item is to reach out to aklisg and ask if they're willing to make a PPU application for all the packages 15:31 *raises hand* 15:31 ... if you want to keep assigning things to me that is :p 15:31 No even a PPU application 15:31 I don't think an application is necessary 15:31 just the change to happen 15:31 We should just ask if a transfer to PPU would be acceptable as a way forward 15:31 We can figure out how we want to achieve that later. 15:32 (I'm in favour of JFDI with no application) 15:32 sgtm 15:32 agreed, so i'll take the action item of proposing to them and then JFDI if that's OK'd 15:32 #action teward discuss edbuntu conversion to ppu with aklisg 15:32 * meetingology teward discuss edbuntu conversion to ppu with aklisg 15:32 thanks! 15:32 One consequence is that things that might have previously qualified to just-be-added to the edubuntu packageset will now require individual PPU applications. 15:32 I think that would be fine though - just pointing it out. 15:33 rbasak: my opinion is that the Edubuntu Package Set is a legacy piece 15:33 Agreed 15:33 leftover from the defunct flavor 15:33 as such, NOTHING gets added to Edubuntu going forward 15:33 but we're free to remove from or dissolve the packageset 15:34 which is why I gave them PPU via DM on their ML request. 15:34 that's my opinion regarding defunct packagesets anyways 15:35 ok so should we vote on edbuntu dissolution now, or wait until after teward talks to aklisg? 15:35 after teward talks to alkisg please 15:35 ddstreet: carry that over, we want to talk to alkisg 15:35 yep 15:35 ack, so let's move to the next email request 15:35 Please add ukui packages to the ubuntukylin package set (handsome_feng) 15:35 i think this, and the next one, are trivial items that any indivudla dmb member can handle 15:36 just adding packages to packageset 15:36 Yes, but 15:36 If it's an automatically generated packageset, then that makes it complicated 15:36 ah right since it's flavor pkgset 15:36 If you just add it to the packageset in Launchpad, that will revert the next time the automation is run 15:37 so in this case, the actual action is to run the script tooling to update the packageset from the seeds 15:37 right? 15:37 I'm not sure all flavor packagesets are generated by the script 15:37 ddstreet: yeah, roughly 15:37 ok i guess we should take an item to check the tooling, and run it 15:37 Hopefully the script will agree with the request, and then it can just happen 15:37 Otherwise the script logic and/or exception lists might need adjusting 15:38 any volunteers for that? 15:38 i can give it a try 15:38 thanks! 15:39 #action rafaeldtinoco look at flavor packageset tooling re: update of ubuntukylin packageset, run tooling to update packageset 15:39 * meetingology rafaeldtinoco look at flavor packageset tooling re: update of ubuntukylin packageset, run tooling to update packageset 15:39 request to add jsunit to the mozilla packageset (olivier.tilloy) 15:39 this isn't a flavor packageset (mozilla) so i think this should just be a manual addition to the packageset 15:40 any volunteers? 15:40 i can handle it 15:41 don't overload yourself :) 15:41 yes i know i'm volunteering for everything but if anyone else wants it feel free to take it 15:41 ddstreet: put into perspective: 15:41 90% of the day i'm sitting on my butt bingewatching TV and checking email and work chat for tasks 15:41 so i am not overloaded - i'm DYING for stuff to keep me entertained :) 15:41 ah well that makes sense :) 15:41 so if anyone else wants it take it, otherwise assign it to me 15:42 looks like it's yours ;) 15:42 #action teward request to add jsunit to the mozilla packageset (olivier.tilloy) 15:42 * meetingology teward request to add jsunit to the mozilla packageset (olivier.tilloy) 15:42 aso i've already binged Stargate SG-1 from Season 1 to final episode of Season 10 already with WFH - which gives you an idea of exactly HOW BUSY I am not :p 15:42 lol, sg-1 is a good one to watch 15:43 ok last item i think 15:43 #topic Select a chair for the next meeting (following alphabetical order of first names) 15:43 * RikMills loans teward Atlantis Bluerays 15:43 It'll be Simon again I guess? 15:44 RikMills: joke's on you, I have 4k streaming of it via Amazon Prime :) 15:44 And ddstreet can move himself to the end. 15:44 teward: ditto 15:44 ack sounds good, i'll move myself in the list but otherwise leave as is 15:44 rbasak: i'd say we need to remove Simon from the chairs list for now 15:44 i can't even raise him on texts at the moment 15:44 and that's no easy feat 15:44 * rbasak doesn't mind 15:44 (who is chair) 15:44 ack, will do that too 15:44 Just do something, and call it done please :) 15:44 yep 15:44 ok AOB? 15:45 10... 15:45 5 15:45 4 15:45 3 15:45 yep 15:45 you do have othe rbusiness? 15:45 but nothing that needs discussion - thanks to everyone on the DMB for being alive since the recent election 15:45 it's great we can get quorum and discussions regularly again :) 15:45 agreed! 15:45 (so nothing crucial just something to point out) 15:46 ok 2, 1, done 15:46 #endmeeting
