15:15:20 pleia2, that's dropped already \o/ 15:15:27 oh now I am sad! 15:15:28 pleia2, so is gnumeric \o/ 15:15:33 it gave us 20MB 15:15:33 so is gnumeric 15:15:43 knome: drop 1 more langauage? 15:15:47 on amd64 that is 15:15:47 np: Hans Zimmer (Gladiator OST) / Barbarian Horde 15:15:53 suits very well for the situation 15:15:56 * Languages: es pt zh-hans 15:15:59 micahg, yeah, i was simply thinking the same. 15:16:22 that gets us proper sized for beta 2, if we can find more room before final, we can add it back 15:16:30 * pleia2 makes note for updating websites and info about gnumeric 15:16:49 micahg, pt has less native speakers by far, so it'd be that 15:16:58 micahg, what are the other things we are looking at? 15:17:03 Yay zh-hans is not deleted... 15:17:04 remeber that with the es pt versions you are going to alianate a large group of users 15:17:17 we could cut some slack removing some games 15:17:24 SkippersBoss, well, we already had to drop fr... 15:17:38 SkippersBoss: i386 still has them 15:17:38 I can understand the logic 15:17:43 SkippersBoss, most people fortunately have a decent internet connection, so they're able to download the langpacks 15:17:49 #Enough room on i386, not enough on amd64: 15:17:49 * Languages: xh fr pt 15:18:30 #info Languages that we'll keep for i386 but drop for amd64 to get more space: xh, fr, pt 15:18:42 ok, so is that as easy as that? :P 15:19:00 yep 15:19:05 ok, great 15:19:41 if we dropped something else from the default install, we could probably add another language to i386 15:19:55 gnome-sudoku? 15:19:58 or found another spurious recommends 15:20:15 * micahg takes it knome doesn't like sudoku 15:20:31 * smartboyhw thinks sudoku is ok to be dropped 15:20:35 well i do, but it's less essential than one more language 15:20:49 yeah, that would do it 15:20:53 and with the current config, we're about 10MB undersized, and that's waste of time 15:21:11 do we have a backlog of what language we would like to reintrodue? 15:21:20 we might be able to get away with it w/out dropping anything 15:21:31 maybe fi, since it's so widely spoken 15:21:32 ;] 15:21:42 lol 15:21:48 de seems to be it 15:21:54 micahg, i really don't want to be oversized for b2, so i'd rather do that tweaking after b2 15:21:55 at least amongs the Xu developers 15:22:18 micahg, unless you're willing to handle the respin requests and stuff 15:22:31 knome: it doesn't require an upload, so we can flip the bit and see what happens tomorrow 15:22:47 micahg, oh, right, yeah, we have enought time to revert 15:22:49 sounds good 15:23:05 #action micahg to drop 'pt' from amd64 and reintroduce 'de' for i386 15:23:05 * meetingology micahg to drop 'pt' from amd64 and reintroduce 'de' for i386 15:23:29 #action micahg to make sure i386 doesn't go oversized, and if it goes, drop gnome-sudoku tomorrow before freeze 15:23:29 * meetingology micahg to make sure i386 doesn't go oversized, and if it goes, drop gnome-sudoku tomorrow before freeze 15:24:38 i believe that's it for the beta 2 prepping altogether! 15:24:49 #subtopic Schedule next meeting 15:24:51 so pt which have a much more userbase is being droped for de?

15:27:32 +1 15:27:36 i will not take "we will not release B2" as an answer, so... 15:27:53 Yeah, who knows what will change at the last minute for us to panic about 15:28:01 If we don´t have B2 we don´t even HAVE a beta..... 15:28:13 #info Next meeting: September 26th, 15UTC 15:28:17 that's not an option 15:28:18 #endmeeting
