(10:15:01 AM) robbiew: mvo did you get around to deferring some of your blueprints? ;)
(10:15:06 AM) mvo: *cough*
(10:15:11 AM) mvo: not yet, but I will this week
(10:15:37 AM) robbiew: thank you sir :)
(10:15:59 AM) ***mvo blushes a bit for not having it done already
(10:16:01 AM) robbiew: the MIR queue is WAY backed up...and the team is in desperate need of help
(10:16:46 AM) robbiew: a discussion has been started around redoing the MIR process
(10:17:08 AM) barry: robbiew: where is that discussion being held?
(10:17:24 AM) doko: looking at some MIR's I think it became to easy to say "I did follow the process" ...
(10:17:49 AM) robbiew: asac proposed a model where we have a small MIR team that is basically responsible for packages that would fall into the core-dev team responsibility; while packages that are leaf packages just for package sets like gnome and kde and server etc. could be approved by trained roles within the team responsible for the package set.
(10:17:58 AM) robbiew: barry: email right now
(10:18:30 AM) robbiew: we should probably move the discussion to ubuntu-devel
(10:18:39 AM) barry: +1 :)
(10:18:47 AM) robbiew: but in fairness, it started out as a simple request for a few people to help
(10:19:16 AM) asac: right. imo we need a short term fix for the backlog ... and we should think about better scaling it in future
(10:19:30 AM) robbiew: asac: agreed
(10:19:34 AM) asac: which is why i thought about aligning it around apackage sets came up
(10:20:53 AM) robbiew: so....that's all I got
(10:21:05 AM) robbiew: other teams are also being asked to help with the MIR backlog
(10:21:28 AM) robbiew: I wanted to raise it here...but we honestly don't have the spare cycles
(10:21:37 AM) robbiew: unless mvo decides he doesn't need sleep
(10:22:14 AM) mvo: sleep is important! and I have a kid that keeps me already from sleeping
(10:22:16 AM) robbiew: if anyone wants to jump in and help (but not join), I'm sure that would be appreciated as well
