Please fix it by leaving, or applying for membership 22:22:16 btw 22:22:21 #info The mail to the Xubuntu-devel ML has some more details; https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2011-November/008039.html 22:22:24 ochosi, yes? 22:22:47 not sure whether that's web-stuff or team-stuff, but i'd consider it nice if we had a list of contributors/team members somewhere on the website 22:22:58 something like "who the f*** is xubuntu?" 22:23:07 yes 22:23:16 i'd like to have the Launcpad teams current 22:23:18 so we can link there 22:23:31 and people would have access to things they need 22:23:31 yeah maybe, we could also do something nicer than just link there 22:23:36 but not sure it's needed 22:23:55 o/ 22:23:56 yes, that too. but if you are in the LP group for eg. the website team, you can access and update the website code 22:24:06 hey astraljava :) anything on your heart? 22:24:17 Pointers to devel team application? 22:24:35 astraljava, do you mean general ubuntu, or xubuntu 22:24:42 knome: Xubuntu 22:25:12 xubuntu dev just gets you commit access to the braches for the few things we maintain, doesn't help much 22:25:21 astraljava, you will get approved if you have contributed to xubuntu. we don't have a specific procedure, because being a member of the xubuntu team doesn't allow you any 22:25:24 not that I want to discourage more help though :) 22:25:25 *buntu* access rights 22:25:30 yeah. 22:25:40 Ok, good enough, thanks! 22:25:51 xubuntu team members are not automatically ubuntu members, or anything 22:25:57 well, no xubuntu-dev should be more limited 22:26:03 it does give access to the seeds 22:26:08 reminds me of the council we should install... 22:26:14 yeah... 22:26:28 micahg_, right. though that's still not standard ubuntu procedure, is ti? 22:26:29 and the XSD that needs revision 22:26:29 *it 22:26:44 ochosi, yes. i will get to that when we have more time, and a better meeting time... 22:27:12 sure :) 22:27:44 knome: right, mr_pouit has the authority in this case I think (or at least used to) 22:27:44 micahg_, ? 22:28:12 micahg_, okay, so it doesn't need to follow the standard ubuntu procedure. not that there is much rush for the -dev team anyway right now. :) 22:28:47 #topic Other Business 22:28:49 right, no, but we need to be sure that the person understands the various packages and seeds before granting membership to the dev team (merges welcome in the mean time) 22:29:00 #subtopic Specification for a default Torrent client 22:29:12 micahg_, yeah, i agree. that's why we need to council too... 22:29:28 what features does a default torrent client for xubuntu need? 22:29:35 simple ui 22:29:57 extensive managing capabilities for multiple torrents? 22:30:02 so we're considering dropping transmission? 22:30:38 ochosi, GridCube is assignee for doing a comparison for those, so we should think which qualities we need 22:30:49 ah ok 22:31:02 personally i'm happy with transmission, as it's simple and gets the job done for most of the users who need torrents 22:31:14 yeah, personally a simple/easy-to-use interface, a low memory footprint and multiple torrents are all i need 22:31:34 anybody else wants to add something? 22:31:43 well i use lots of torrents for... personal reasons, and transmission is not cool for that 22:31:45 DHT, UPnP? 22:31:47 e.g. no need to be able to search torrents via that app 22:31:55 Unit193, i don't know what are those. 22:32:00 GridCube: what's not working for you in transmission? 22:32:06 Unit193, for what are those necessary? 22:32:08 if we ever get QT in Xubuntu, I'd vote for QBittorrent :) 22:32:30 you can not set it to download just one torrent a time, for example, or priority for that matter 22:32:57 is that necessary for the normal user? 22:32:59 knome: UPnP helps it to route traffic to your computer 22:33:12 GridCube: sure you can set priority 22:33:32 And DHT helps you find more sources 22:33:42 i believe so, controling how much bandwith is used is a thing, but if you control the bandwith it will still try to download 10 torrents at a time 22:34:05 GridCube, unless you pause them, right? 22:34:05 but you can pause them 22:34:21 ... but then i will have to unpause them? 22:34:44 i can not left it and download? that makes no sense 22:34:46 what are the 10 legal torrents a user wants to download parallely? 22:34:58 GridCube: for priorities go to torrent properties > options > torrent priority. it's rather easy 22:35:09 amd64 and i386 versions of all supported Ubuntu and Xubuntu releases :P 22:35:16 micahg_, that's 8 22:35:17 :P 22:35:26 and mint 22:35:30 Ubuntu Studio, duh. 22:35:31 and server :) 22:35:33 we don't support mint. 22:35:35 ;) 22:35:41 XD 22:36:18 well, yeah. 22:36:37 ok its not imperative, but transmission just seems empty, like, not helpful 22:36:49 GridCube: what would be a good alternative? 22:36:58 what's the normal usecase for a normal user with torrents? 22:37:03 deluge its my first option 22:37:13 does he really download all the ubuntu versions, i386 and amd64, mint, server, and studio? 22:37:21 not really 22:37:22 Ofc he does, while this channel is logged 22:37:36 ^^^ 22:37:36 micahg_, mmh, yeah. 22:37:55 thats pretty much it then 22:38:03 tbh, i don't want to change our default torrent client to something more "powerful" to be able to boost illegal downloads... ;) 22:38:13 agreed 22:38:20 will take that down :D 22:38:31 right, okay ... :] 22:38:35 There are serveral alternatives, but why use them as default 22:38:41 mmh 22:38:49 I have atleast 11 or so legal right now ;) 22:38:55 yeah, people are free to install anything they want 22:39:00 indeed 22:39:14 but the default should be sensible, and in xubuntu's case, pretty lightweight and easy-to-use 22:39:19 that's that for today. 22:39:22 :) 22:39:23 ok 22:39:27 let's keep the discussion going on in IRC and the mailing lists 22:39:34 #info We rock. 22:39:37 #endmeeting
