Meeting May 17, 2006
Technical
ogra - AMD64 CD still over on space, by 3Mb, Considering dropping kstars from AMD64 ISO, as it would save 4.3Mb on space.

jsgotangco - Suggested kvoctrain, but checked it for size 800k, which wasn't enough
flint - Suggested just having DVD for the AMD64 arch, ogra pointed out that the CD was needed for the DVD iso.

02:09 ogra amd64 was down to 1.3M oversizednedd last week, but is up to 3M again 02:09 ogra *ness 02:09 JaneW what's the issue with usplash? 02:09 ogra so i'll need to find something big to drop *again* 02:09 cbx33 ogra: are we goign to have to drop a package? 02:09 ogra sigh 02:09 ogra there is not much left on amd64 02:10 ogra i'm inclined to drop kstras to solve it once and for all 02:10 ogra *kstars 02:10 cbx33 hmm, not good 02:10 JaneW ogra: why is and64 so much larger? 02:10 spacey binaries so much biggier on amd64? 02:10 ogra not mutch, but it sums up 02:10 cbx33 ogra: is ther a possiblilty of just removing some of teh data files for kstars? 02:10 JaneW are the other arches at capacity? 02:10 sladen ogra: did /var/log/* getting cleared? and do a du -sch on /usr/share/doc 02:10 ogra i386 is exactly at 695M (max value) 02:10 JaneW yikes 02:10 ogra amd64 in sum is at 698 02:10 JaneW ogra: is it safe to fill it that much? 02:11 ogra sladen, on the CD ? 02:11 ogra JaneW, yep 02:11 JaneW ok good 02:11 sladen ogra: the LiveCD was not getting its logfiles cleared after creation 02:11 ogra its fine unless we slip over 695 02:11 cbx33 sladen: i hear you down in soton tomorrow, really bummed I can't make it 02:11 JaneW ogra: you said usplash was arguable, what/who is arguing? 02:11 ogra sladen, ah, i dont care about live, we wont ship it 02:11 flint ogra, would it be a safe assumption that anyone running an AMD 64 has access to a DVD? 02:12 cbx33 flint: I'd say not :p 02:12 ogra flint, sure, and the DVD is available, thats not the prob 02:12 flint ok then what? 02:12 ogra the prob is that if we dont have a working iso on release day, we wont have that arch at all 02:12 ogra a CD iso that is 02:13 flint a DVD iso would suffice for AMD 64 IMHO. 02:13 JaneW ogra: how when can you sort it all out? 02:13 ogra flint, we wont have a DVD iso if we dont have a CD 02:13 JaneW ogra: are all changes frozen now? so the size won't vary daily anymore... 02:13 cbx33 i'd say go for the kstars drop 02:13 ogra JaneW, i'm doing it alongside with my last minute ubuntu bugwork 02:13 JaneW ok 02:13 ogra needs to be sorted until flight8 02:13 JaneW how utilized is kstarts? 02:14 flint ogra, it was merely a thought... :^) 02:14 JaneW stars 02:14 ogra some MB 02:14 JaneW let's cut it if that's the best bet 02:14 JaneW but you may get complaints if it is popular and ppl can;t find it 02:14 cbx33 people can alsways install it later 02:14 ogra kstars itself is quite small, but it puls in a huge amount of data 02:14 JaneW but I guess they can d/l it 02:14 cbx33 JaneW: true 02:14 ogra yep 02:14 JaneW ok done 02:14 cbx33 we can possibly put a note on the AMD64 page? 02:14 ogra it wont just be in the default install on an arch we dont send through shipit 02:14 JaneW cbx33 please make a note of that ^^ 02:15 cbx33 :p 02:15 spacey you kick it out of amd64 only or all arches? 02:15 JaneW ogra: did you test the shipit site? 02:15 ogra the only real important arch for us is i386 === Hirion [n=hirion@draugr.de] has left #ubuntu-meeting [] 02:15 ogra yep 02:15 ogra all others are just nice to have ones 02:15 JaneW ogra: and all working well?

02:38 cbx33 I've started, making a new page on wiki 02:38 cbx33 UbuntuLTSP 02:38 cbx33 which will detail ALL LTSP docs 02:38 JaneW cbx33: documentation? 02:38 JaneW really? ogra that the stuff you were trying to get to one day? 02:38 cbx33 so I'm currently in the process of moving and updating all LTSP related material 02:39 cbx33 to make it ubuntu generic 02:39 flint cbx33, the re-use of LTSP docs is a great idea. 02:39 JaneW cbx33: excellent 02:39 cbx33 indeed 02:39 ogra JaneW, its partially my stuff, but cbx33 is doing great work in collecting *everything* ltsp realted === JaneW hands cbx33 one of her 'Virtual Gold Star's (TM) 02:39 cbx33 if anyone has written an LTSP doc please update to make it ubuntu generic 02:39 cbx33 oooooh 02:39 JaneW haven't used those for a while 02:39 ogra wow === JaneW is super impressed 02:40 ogra cbx33, they are really rare 02:40 ogra kepp it in a frame 02:40 ogra *keep 02:40 cbx33 I'll contact all page maintaners 02:40 cbx33 if I can 02:40 jsgotangco good luck 02:40 cbx33 I'll put that i nthe meeting notes :p 02:40 ogra :) 02:40 cbx33 my aim is to hopefully create an LTSP cookbook of sorts 02:41 ogra an alternative to the thin client howto would be fine ... 02:41 cbx33 :p 02:41 ogra that doc is horrible, but it has useful advanced info 02:41 cbx33 well u know what I mean 02:42 cbx33 indeed, why I was goign to break it down a little 02:42 cbx33 but we can talk abotu that later 02:42 ogra i'd like to have a doc that really only shows the three steps needed to get ltsp running 02:42 cbx33 yes ogra definite 02:42 ogra thin client howto hides the easiness 02:42 cbx33 and then links to some advanced materials 02:42 ogra yep 02:42 cbx33 :D 02:42 JaneW things have come together really nicely this cycle 02:43 ogra things like NAT and hosts.allow/deny are surely overkill 02:43 ogra yep 02:43 cbx33 they can go in advanced advanced section :p 02:43 ogra this cycle was a lot better than the last, but it was also a lot less work for me 02:43 ogra i.e. no main inclusion fighting for every single package 02:44 ogra the only one i had on my list for main inclusion disqualified itself 02:44 cbx33 just as a note, I'd like to do so much more on edubuntu, but time is an issue for me :p 02:44 ogra (gobby) 02:44 JaneW cbx33: btw feel free to eidt the wiki as much as you want and write or trash stuff etc, much of what is there (esp front page) was thrown together by me, so there's lots of room for improvement 02:44 jsgotangco cbx33, who does? 02:44 cbx33 jsgotangco: indeed 02:44 jsgotangco cbx33, before it was only me 02:45 cbx33 JaneW: I'm taking as diplomatic approach as I can to the wiki :p 02:45 JaneW also once 6.06 is out we'd like to encourage ppl to evangelise Edubuntu, talk about it where you can and make it know to all 02:45 ogra yeah 02:45 ogra do the big promotion dance 02:45 JaneW Breezy was kept low key, now we want everyone to know and everyone to use Edubuntu 02:45 ogra flint, ^^^^ 02:45 cbx33 JaneW: ESA !!!! 02:45 JaneW flint you and jelkner can go wild now === ogra imagines flint dancing 02:46 JaneW and use the ESA!!! 02:46 ogra yeah 02:46 cbx33 would be excellent if we can get this printed off 02:46 JaneW get it printed locally etc 02:46 cbx33 and sent to some of our more advoacative people 02:46 cbx33 JaneW: think funding could be available for that? 02:46 JaneW we may get a small and selective marketing budget in this cycle 02:46 JaneW to use wisely 02:46 cbx33 now that would be ace 02:47 ogra yeah 02:47 JaneW we are never going to have a big budget though so we need to be wise 02:47 cbx33 indeed 02:47 JaneW ok next?
