IRC Log

[17:29] <seb128> hey there, meeting in 1 minute?

[17:30] <kenvandine> yup
[17:30] <kenvandine> well, now :-D
[17:30] <seb128> right
[17:30] <chrisccoulson> hi!
[17:31] <seb128> chrisccoulson, kenvandine, Riddell: hey
[17:31] <kenvandine> short list today :-D
[17:31] <seb128> waouh, not lot of people this week Wink ;-)
[17:31] <Riddell> hi
[17:31] <seb128> indeed
[17:31] <seb128> I don't think there was remaining items from the last meeting
[17:31] <Riddell> where is everyone?
[17:32] <seb128> Riddell, holidays Wink ;-)
[17:32] <seb128> anyway, let's get started, will be a short meeting
[17:32] <seb128> kenvandine, partners update?
[17:32] <kenvandine> sure
[17:32] <kenvandine> UbuntuOne:
[17:33] <kenvandine> Might request a FFE for ubuntuone-preferences, tomboy, and u1music for desktop SSO use
[17:33] <kenvandine> however, i think u1-preferences and u1music are already using it
[17:33] <kenvandine> so just tomboy
[17:33] <kenvandine> can't confirm because it is broken for me
[17:33] <kenvandine> Include a default message in evolution, explaining how to effectively use UbuntuOne bug 615874
[17:33] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 615874 in evolution (Ubuntu) "Add Ubuntu One email to Evolution fresh install (affects: 1) (heat: 590)" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/615874
[17:34] <kenvandine> there is a solution for handling translations
[17:34] <kenvandine> should land this week
[17:34] <kenvandine> so a win win there
[17:34] <kenvandine> DX:
[17:34] <kenvandine> indicator-me - ported to libgwibber, will be in this week's release
[17:34] <kenvandine> indicator-sound - no playlists support for maverick, mpris2 is too late
[17:34] <kenvandine> indicator-appmenu updates including Desktop menu support
[17:35] <seb128> desktop menu for unity or will that work on GNOME as well?
[17:35] <kenvandine> and some alternative or other solution for unity which doesn't use nautilus for the desktop
[17:35] <kenvandine> seb128, i think they are trying to figure out what works best for unity
[17:36] <kenvandine> indicator-network and dependencies will get MIR bugs filed this
[17:36] <kenvandine> that is it for the partner update, questions? comments?
[17:37] <kenvandine> Riddell, how is U1 in kubuntu working now?
[17:37] <chrisccoulson> hmmm, i won't be able to sponsor kvalo's uploads anymore Wink ;)
[17:37] <kenvandine> those branches get merged?
[17:37] <kenvandine> i know there was a review done, and some comments on one of them
[17:37] <Riddell> kenvandine: not sure, pencils down was yesterday and I need to review it all
[17:37] <kenvandine> ok
[17:37] <Riddell> but haven't found time today so far
[17:38] <seb128> chrisccoulson: right, when do you apply for having rights for those?
[17:38] <seb128> Wink ;-)
[17:38] <seb128> kenvandine, thanks
[17:38] <chrisccoulson> seb128 - soon Smile :)
[17:38] <seb128> seems some of the change are a bit late but we will deal with it
[17:39] <seb128> kenvandine, try to make clear to all those ffe requesting people that it's this week or they can stop thinking about asking an exception Wink ;-)
[17:39] <seb128> let's move on
[17:39] <seb128> Riddell, kubuntu update?
[17:39] <Riddell> - Amarok 2.3.2 beta about to be released, putting into beta PPA for probably FFe inclusion in maverick on release
[17:39] <kenvandine> seb128, will do
[17:39] <Riddell> - kopete gcall support added back with separated package
[17:39] <Riddell> - evan committed major ubiquity changes then ran away on holiday, have been porting them to KDE frontend
[17:39] <Riddell> - qt4-qws needing review and approval in New queue by friendly archive admin
[17:39] <Riddell> - lucid.1 images looking good to me
[17:40] <Riddell> that archive admin bit was a hint to seb128 Smile :)
[17:41] <seb128> I can do that Wink ;-)
[17:41] <seb128> thanks Riddell
[17:42] <seb128> anybody having comments or questions about Kubuntu?
[17:42] <seb128> seems not
[17:42] <seb128> so let's move on
[17:43] <seb128> no UNE update nor software-center one this week
[17:43] <seb128> next is the release status update
[17:43] <seb128> http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/maverick/canonical-desktop-team-ubuntu-10.10-beta.html
[17:43] <seb128> we are a bit behind as you can see
[17:44] <seb128> (ignore the jump yesterday, kenvandine tried to move a spec to beta Wink ;-)
[17:44] <seb128> http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/maverick/canonical-desktop-team.html is on track though
[17:44] <seb128> your features changes should have landed by now
[17:45] <seb128> we switch to bug fix mode now
[17:45] <seb128> so make sure you spend time on stabilization and not extra changes
[17:45] <seb128> I think that's about it from me for this week Wink ;-)
[17:45] <seb128>
[17:45] <seb128> anybody having extra topics, questions, comments?
[17:45] * kenvandine has something to mention
[17:46] <kenvandine> there will be changes to twitter, which we have been kind of expecting
[17:46] <kenvandine> that will need SRU and to land in maverick... but the solution isn't clear yet
[17:46] <kenvandine> they are basically shutting down auth for open source clients at the end of the month
[17:46] <seb128> do they have a time estimation for the changes?
[17:46] <seb128> urg
[17:46] <seb128> that's short timeline for a such change
[17:46] <kenvandine> that is a little harse... but they haven't provided a good solution for open source clients
[17:47] <kenvandine> they have been postponing it for quite some time... they decided to just do it now
[17:47] <seb128> is anybody talking to them?
[17:47] <kenvandine> yeah
[17:47] <kenvandine> i am trying to get an official response from them
[17:47] <kenvandine> their solution is to make every user go to dev.twitter.com and register their own twitter app
=== bjf is now known as bjf[afk]
[17:47] <kenvandine> and provide that to the client they are using for auth
[17:47] <seb128> that seems suboptimal
[17:48] <kenvandine> which is clearly not good for end users
[17:48] <kenvandine> they say they want to find a better solution
[17:48] <kenvandine> but nothing yet
[17:48] <seb128> seems weird that would stop the service before finding a solution
[17:48] <kenvandine> i am trying to directly work with someone there
[17:48] <kenvandine> they say basic auth is too much of a risk
[17:49] <kenvandine> and just need to do it... been getting pushed back and back for months
[17:49] <seb128> risk? it's tweeting, not confidential datas...
[17:49] <kenvandine> yeah
[17:49] <kenvandine> Smile :)
[17:49] <seb128> *shrug*
[17:49] <kenvandine> well their argument is people use the same password for twitter as many other things
[17:49] <seb128> how much time do you think you will have to take to work on that?
[17:49] <kenvandine> and people shouldn't be sharing their passwords
[17:49] <kenvandine> etc
[17:50] <kenvandine> unclear.. ryan already has done the work to make oauth work
[17:50] <kenvandine> so not too much if we can use that
[17:50] <seb128> ok
[17:50] <rickspencer3> seb128, the risk is that people can easily make accounts and use IDs to spam
[17:50] <kenvandine> we might end up needing to just disable twitter, which won't be much
[17:50] <rickspencer3> it's not so much a risk to the user, as a risk to the network
[17:50] <seb128> hey rickspencer3
[17:50] <seb128> right...
[17:50] <kenvandine> seb128, yeah they want to be able to shutdown "apps" instead of accounts
[17:50] <kenvandine> but
[17:50] <kenvandine> if every user registers an app... it is just like creating more accounts Smile :)
[17:51] <rickspencer3> what ever
[17:51] <kenvandine> anyway...
[17:51] <kenvandine> i am working it...
[17:51] * rickspencer3 ducks back out
[17:51] <kenvandine> will keep you posted
[17:51] <kenvandine> that is all
[17:51] <seb128> thanks kenvandine
[17:51] <seb128> any other topic?
[17:52] <seb128> seems not
[17:53] <seb128> thanks everybody
[17:53] <seb128> let's go back to getting maverick to rock Wink ;-)
