[19:03] <zul> whoops
[19:03] <ttx> looking at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/~jib/+specs?searchtext=maverick it's not a full success
[19:04] <ttx> it's just a cleanup thing, yo uknow how much of a maniac I am

[19:06] <ttx> [TOPIC] Natty development
[19:06] <MootBot> New Topic:  Natty development
[19:06] <ttx> It's Syncs and merges season !
[19:07] <zul> ive done my bits
[19:07] <ttx> I've done part of my bits
[19:07] <ttx> You should also have already filed the blueprints for the UDS sessions you want to run
[19:07] <ttx> anyone has anything left ?
[19:07] <mathiaz> ttx: where is the up-to-date list of BP?
[19:08] <ttx> mathiaz: so that's a good question.
[19:08] <mathiaz> ttx: it seems that their names is changing often these days...
[19:08] <ttx> I actually created a magic page
[19:08] <mathiaz> ttx: making it complicated to track where things are
[19:08] <mathiaz> ttx: and whether I'm adding information to the right BP
[19:08] <ttx> multiple trcaks make it a bit difficult to search for "server-n" BPs
[19:08] <ttx> The magic list lives at: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/~ttx/+specs?role=subscriber
[19:09] <ttx> i'll keep subscribed to the team-relevant blueprints
[19:09] <mathiaz> ttx: right - and 'server-n' turns up a lot of unrelated specs
[19:09] <ttx> corresponsing to *server-n* UDS sessions
[19:09] <ttx> took me 30min to get it right, don't thank me
[19:09]  * ttx filed a LP improvement request to add "tagging" to BPs
[19:09] <mathiaz> ttx: great - thanks for keeping providing a simple list
[19:10] <Daviey> ttx: "thanks"! :)
[19:10]  * mathiaz thinks the BP may need some love dedicated to it
[19:10] <ttx> jml says he wants to merge them with bugs and drop BPs
[19:10] <ttx> anyway, offtopic
[19:10] <ttx> does anyone still have BPs to file for UDS ?
[19:11] <mathiaz> ttx: I don't think so
[19:11] <ttx> I have one. There is some Canonical interest around Openvswitch
[19:11] <mathiaz> ttx: however I'd like to review the ones already registed
[19:11] <zul> openvswitch
[19:11] <ttx> does anyone has a session where that should be mentioned, or do you think it'll make a good separate session ?
[19:11] <mathiaz> ttx: to make sure relevant topics are covered
[19:11] <ttx> mathiaz: right
[19:11] <zul> ttx: shouldnt someone from canonical do it?
[19:12] <ttx> zul: if it doesn't fit into an existing session, yes
[19:12] <ttx> zul: do you think we can mention it in the missing UEC metapackaging session ?
[19:12]  * Daviey nah's
[19:12] <mathiaz> ttx: seems like a discussion on its own
[19:13] <zul> ttx: i dont know what it has to do with UEC in the first place
[19:13] <mathiaz> ttx: to figure out why we should do that, and how
[19:13] <ttx> ok, I'll sort it out
[19:13] <Daviey> \o/
[19:13] <mathiaz> ttx: it would be useful to know the actual use case
[19:13] <ttx> [ACTION] ttx to check if a session is needed around openvswitch
[19:13] <MootBot> ACTION received:  ttx to check if a session is needed around openvswitch
[19:13] <ttx> UDS session participation...
=== Ursinha-lunch is now known as Ursinha
[19:14] <mathiaz> ttx: at last UDS there were a few sessions (eg cloud-loadbalancing) that noone knew what it was about
[19:14] <ttx> so with multiple tracks it gets complicated to make sure everyone required is available
[19:14] <ttx> mathiaz: I'll figure it out
[19:14] <ttx> so it's more important than ever to mark your attendance
[19:14] <ttx> by subscribing to the spec and making your participation essential, where it is essential
[19:15] <ttx> please review https://blueprints.launchpad.net/~ttx/+specs?role=subscriber
[19:15] <smoser> hm...
[19:15] <smoser> how would that work, ttx
[19:15] <smoser> are you white listed ? since you're subscribed to all
[19:15] <ttx> smoser: huh ?
[19:15] <ttx> subscribing is open to anyone
[19:15] <ttx> ah
[19:15] <smoser> right. but the conflict resolution is done by "if this person can be there"
[19:16] <ttx> so i'm not essential to all.
[19:16] <smoser> ah.
[19:16] <ttx> I'm subscribed to all
[19:16] <ttx> (blue vs. red)
[19:16] <Daviey> hmm
[19:16] <Daviey> conflict resolution isn't awesome :)
[19:16] <Daviey> it does it based on required essential only
[19:16] <Daviey> (atm)
[19:16] <ttx> ack
[19:16] <mathiaz> ttx: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/~ttx/+specs?role=subscriber -> blue versus red?
[19:16] <ttx> so please mark yourself essentail to the sessions you need to attend
[19:16] <smoser> red people are essential
[19:16] <mathiaz> ttx: IIRC you can only see that on the actual BP page?
[19:17] <smoser> blue are not important
[19:17] <smoser> :)
[19:17] <ttx> yes
[19:17] <ttx> mathiaz: ^
[19:17] <ttx> don't mark yourself essential to more than 20 sessions, would make the scheduler constraints a bit hard
[19:17] <ttx> Finally, UDS session leading
[19:18]  * mathiaz thinks about an interesting DoS here
[19:18] <ttx> Please set yourself as drafter on the sessions you intend to lead.
[19:18] <ttx> [ACTION] ALL to subscribe to BPs where their attendance is required
[19:18] <MootBot> ACTION received:  ALL to subscribe to BPs where their attendance is required
[19:19] <ttx> [ACTION] ALL to set themselves as drafter where they want to lead sessions
[19:19] <MootBot> ACTION received:  ALL to set themselves as drafter where they want to lead sessions
[19:19] <ttx> Questions ?
[19:19] <Daviey> none here.
[19:19] <JamesPage> cool with me
[19:19] <zul> pas rien
[19:20] <ttx> (yes, I'll set the missing drafters :)
[19:20] <Daviey> dammit
[19:20] <ttx> better make your choice before I do.
[19:20] <ttx> Going once... twice...

[19:23] <hggdh> nothing new on the western front, so I pass :-)
[19:24] <Daviey> \o/
[19:24] <Daviey> (/me watches the eastern front catch hggdh from behind)
[19:24] <hggdh> heh
[19:24] <ttx> hggdh: you'll be leading the server-sq and uec-qa sessions for us, right ?
[19:24] <ttx> server-qa, I mean
[19:24] <hggdh> yes, I will. We will need to talk before to fine-tune

[19:25] <ttx> [TOPIC] Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (jjohansen)
[19:25] <MootBot> New Topic:  Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (jjohansen)
[19:25] <ttx> jjohansen: howdy
[19:25] <jjohansen> nothing new here
[19:25] <jjohansen> hi
[19:25] <jjohansen> :
[19:26] <jjohansen> hehe
[19:26] <mathiaz> jjohansen: what will be the kernel version for natty? ;)
[19:26] <ttx> jjohansen: try to avoid smoser next week, he has a long list of bugs for you
[19:26] <jjohansen> mathiaz 3.0 of course
[19:26] <smoser> but i have beer for rewards.
[19:26] <jjohansen> ttx: right, that is my #1 action item
[19:27] <jjohansen> thankfully /me isn't tempted :)
[19:27] <ttx> smoser: kernel bug bounties, a new form of kernel bug triaging
[19:27] <smoser> pixie sticks ?
[19:27]  * zul offers jjohansen sleeping pills
[19:27] <smoser> that would get zul  interested
[19:27] <jjohansen> dang you found my weakness
[19:27] <zul> smoser: meh
[19:27] <jjohansen> ttx: I like the bug bounties, I think jfo would go for it too
[19:27] <ttx> ok, nothing else for kernel ?
[19:27] <smoser> that is something to discuss though.. kernel version
[19:28] <smoser> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ec2/+bug/662842
[19:28] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 662842 in linux-ec2 (Ubuntu) "remove linux-ec2 from natty" [Undecided,New]
[19:28] <jjohansen> yes, it will be discussed.  likely 2.6.37 or 38
[19:28] <smoser> thats my request to remove linux-ec2, which was unused (officially) in maverick.
[19:28] <smoser> i could see people crying as it is a xen pv kernel
[19:28] <jjohansen> yep, its on my rather long todo list, all book marked nice
[19:28] <smoser> but we've never explicitly supported it.
[19:29] <jjohansen> right
[19:29] <smoser> anyone else here have comments to that effect ?
[19:29] <smoser> if so, send hatemail to john. i dont want any.
[19:29] <jjohansen> I think if we want a xen kernel, we should bring back a xen kernel not rely on the ec2 kernel
[19:29] <smoser> or, kindly bring up your concerns here. whichever works better.
[19:30] <ttx> ok, moving on

[19:30] <ttx> sommer is away today
[19:30] <Daviey> :(
[19:30] <ttx> will lead a Server documentation session at UDS
[19:30] <ttx> be there or be square

[19:30] <MootBot> New Topic:  Weekly Updates & Questions for the Ubuntu Community Team (kim0)
[19:31] <ttx> kim0 is not around...
[19:31] <ttx> we'll just group-hug him at UDS as a blame.
[19:31] <ttx> [TOPIC] Open Discussion
[19:31] <MootBot> New Topic:  Open Discussion
[19:31] <mathiaz> any major news in the server team?
[19:31] <ttx> so Daviey was mentioning that mortals can't set the drafters on other's specs
[19:32] <ttx> if you want to do that, ask the registrant, or me.
[19:32] <ttx> mathiaz: not for today, I don't think so :)
[19:33] <Daviey> hmm
[19:33] <robbiew> or me
[19:33] <ttx> well, robbiew could mention the interim management
[19:33] <robbiew> I'm interim manager...done
[19:33] <robbiew> lol
[19:33] <ttx> ^ team, that's how ACTIONs get closed.
[19:34] <Daviey> ttx: not with that bot syntax :)
[19:34] <ttx> all hail our new fearless leader.
[19:34] <robbiew> all interested applicants please send email to rick.spencer@canonical.com
[19:34] <robbiew> not me :D
[19:34] <robbiew> thank you...thank you...please...hold your applause
[19:35] <ivoks> hail!
[19:35] <ttx> robbiew: some previous server team managers said they would offer one beer for every community member that would find them at UDS
[19:35] <ttx> ivoks: are you coming, btw ?
[19:35] <hggdh> and the associated QA contact!
[19:35] <ttx> robbiew: feeling up for the same challenge ?
[19:35] <ivoks> ttx: no, but i'm counting on you sending me a t-shirt
[19:35] <ttx> aw
[19:35]  * ScottK has a topic.
[19:36] <ttx> ScottK: go ahead
[19:36] <robbiew> lol
[19:36] <ScottK> There was some discussion on ubuntu-devel about fixing hostname detection/setting on the call for ideas.
[19:36] <ScottK> (for UDS)
[19:36] <ScottK> That didn't get translated into a spec for discussion (that I've found).
[19:37] <ttx> ScottK: I suspect that wouldn't be server-specific, right
[19:37] <ttx> ScottK: maybe a foundations spec
[19:37] <ScottK> ttx: No, but I think we're the primary victims of the current problems.
[19:37] <ScottK> I don't have the time to lead an effort in this area and was hoping someone else would be willing to grab it and run with it.
[19:38] <ttx> robbiew: could that be folded into one of the BPs server pushed to foundations this time ?
[19:38] <ttx> ScottK: I think SpamapS had an interest in this
[19:38] <ttx> he could push it. After all, he is absent to this meeting
[19:38] <robbiew> if someone could point me to the discussion thread
[19:38] <ScottK> Perfect.
[19:38] <robbiew> I can run with the BP/session
[19:38] <ttx> ScottK: link?
[19:38] <ScottK> robbiew: I'll dig it up.
[19:38] <robbiew> cool
[19:39] <ttx> ScottK: thanks for bringing it up, I've not been keeping tabs on all the threads
[19:39] <ttx> anything else ?
[19:40] <zul> oh...that sucks Tom Bosley died
[19:40] <Daviey> oh no!
[19:40] <ttx> sigh
