(rbasak) 20:05 This is done I think? Everyone happy with the outcome? 20:05 #action teward to follow up with "who can vote" and documentation at https://ubuntu.com/community/governance/technical-board with the CC (carried over) 20:05 * meetingology teward to follow up with "who can vote" and documentation at https://ubuntu.com/community/governance/technical-board with the CC (carried over) 20:05 ^ since he's not here 20:05 yes i think the requalification stuff is done 20:06 #topic Scan the mailing list archive for anything we missed (standing item) 20:06 it's just flavour qualification stuff i think 20:06 Agreed. Let's discuss that in a separate item shortly 20:07 #info No items apart from flavour qualification, to be discussed shortly 20:07 #topic Check up on community bugs and techboard bugs (standing item) 20:07 #info No community bugs 20:07 #info No movement on TB bugs 20:08 #topic Flavour qualification 20:08 So we have a set of recommendations from the release team 20:08 * rbasak reviews them 20:09 where is that? is it on ubuntu-release? 20:09 oh private mail 20:09 hey, sorry got delayed by start of evening things, I'm here now 20:10 I see LTS requalification requests from Xubuntu, Kylin, Lubuntu, Budgie, Studio, Edubuntu, Cinammon 20:10 (to the TB list in public) 20:10 I don't see any requests from MATE or Unity. 20:12 indeed, seems they didn't send one 20:13 Everyone (except Cinammon and Lubuntu who didn't specify) seems to have asked for three years LTS. Is that normal? 20:14 i think so? 20:15 eg https://wiki.xubuntu.org/releases/24.04/release-notes -> "Xubuntu 24.04 was released on Thursday, April 25, 2024, and will be supported for three years until April 2027" 20:15 seems to match what they did for Noble 20:15 I just checked the TB archive from 2024 20:16 I don't see anything on this in the proposed flavour spec 20:16 rational is that they usually don't have the manpower to provide 5 years of support 20:16 I'm happy to maintain the status quo - I just wasn't sure what it is! 20:16 To make progress, shall we assume three years for all of them for now? 20:17 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecognizedFlavors -> "Flavor's support plan presented to Tech Board and approved; support plan should indicate period of time if beyond 9 months (3 yrs or 5 yr), key contacts, and setting expectations as to level of support." 20:17 Thanks 20:17 so they can choose 3 or 5 but they have all opted for 3 20:17 So they all requested three or didn't specify, so it's safe to assume that unspecified means 3 I think. 20:18 i think only lubuntu didn't say, so yes 3 years for all makes sense 20:18 (lubuntu 24.04 is three year support) 20:19 I guess we can send a single email out in reply to all the emails at once, confirming this then, since it aligns with the release team's recommendation? 20:19 +1 20:19 I'll be happy to write that 20:20 (within the next hour I hope, since we're nearly done) 20:20 Anything else on flavour requalification? 20:20 thanks for being the tb author of choice :) 20:20 no nothing else i think 20:20 #agreed LTS qualification for three years for Xubuntu, Kylin, Lubuntu, Budgie, Studio, Edubuntu, Cinammon approved 20:20 AGREED: LTS qualification for three years for Xubuntu, Kylin, Lubuntu, Budgie, Studio, Edubuntu, Cinammon approved 20:21 #topic Select a chair for the next meeting (next from https://launchpad.net/~techboard/+members) 20:21 seb128, with teward as backup? 20:21 last one of the year presumably, as i will certainly not be attending on the 31st 20:22 +1 from me also to follow the release team recommendation 20:22 #info The next chair will be seb128, with teward as backup 20:22 yes, same for me, I'm going to be there for the next one but not the one after 20:22 ack 20:22 Thanks! 20:22 We can all make the 16th then? 20:22 I can 20:22 yes, should be fine 20:22 Great 20:22 #topic AOB 20:22 AOB? 20:23 (meetings are 9am for me now which is fine) 20:23 yes, I was going through archive of the lists 20:23 https://code.launchpad.net/~ernestl/sru-docs/+git/sru-docs/+merge/493382 20:23 Ernest replied there 20:23 oh right he pinged me about that 20:23 We still need to follow up on that one right? 20:23 yes 20:23 Ah, yes. 20:23 Shall I add that to the agenda for next time? 20:24 makes sense. i guess it would be good for us to read the proposal and comment on it before then if we have time 20:24 Yes please 20:24 Thanks! 20:24 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.4.0 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
