05:02   mdz     all here now?
05:02   cjwatson        does somebody else know about the gcc 4.2 thing who can talk about it?
=== ogra is all here, no parts missing
05:03   Mithrandir      I can talk a little bit about it, but I can't answer all of the questions about it.
05:04   cjwatson        I'll adjust the agenda
05:04   kylem   perhaps we could have a supplemental meeting when doko returns about it?
05:04   pitti   would indeed quite a lot of effort, now that we synced most of Debian and such
05:04   Mithrandir      that would be better.
05:05   cjwatson        pitti: sounded like we weren't talking about rebuilding everything
05:05   pitti   ah, ok
=== pitti hopes this doesn't involve another C++ ABI transition
=== ogra was about to ask that
05:05   shawarma        Oh, the horror!
05:05   Mithrandir      pitti: gcc has stopped with those, AIUI
05:05   mdz     ok
05:05   ogra    shawarma, great opportunity to get new blood into MOTU ;)
05:06   shawarma        ogra: Keyword being "blood"
05:06   ogra    (thnk positive :) )
05:06   mdz     first off, we should welcome two new Canonical folks making their first appearances at a development meeting
05:06   shawarma        o/
05:06   fabbione        FIRE!
05:06   fabbione        BLOOD!
05:06   fabbione        :P
=== pitti starts a Laola wave
05:06   mdz     evand and shawarma

05:07   shawarma        ogra: :)
05:07   bdmurray        welcome
05:07   shawarma        Thanks for the warm welcome!
05:07   mdz     evan joins us from the wilds of the mideastern US, working on ubiquity developpment
05:07   evand   Thanks everyone
=== Keybuk hugs evand and shawarma
05:08   ogra    ubiquity or ubiquity and d-i ?
05:08   mdz     shawarma joins us from a town in the small country of Denmark whose name I can't pronounce
05:08   mdz     to work on Ubuntu Server
05:08   evand   ogra: I intend to have a hand in both
05:08   fabbione        ROFL
05:08   ogra    evadcool, i just want to know whom to poke in case :)
05:08   fabbione        mdz: nobody can... if that makes you feel any better :)
05:08   pitti   srvr?
05:08   mdz     pitti: ha
05:08   shawarma        pitti: :)
05:08   Keybuk  shawarma: random question;  do you prefer Soren or Sren for the spelling of your first name?
05:08   ogra    heh
05:09   shawarma        Keybuk: Soren's less like to break :)
05:09   Mithrandir      but Sren is the proper speling
05:09   fabbione        or Soeren
05:09   shawarma        Indeed.
=== agoliveira hope Soren as I have no idea how to do the "/ + o"!
05:09   fabbione        = oe
05:09   pitti   we managed , too
=== iwj 's client doesn't seem to do UTF-8 at all.
05:09   Mithrandir      agoliveira: compose-/-o
05:10   Mithrandir      or compose-o-/
05:10   mdz     iwj: time to join the 21st century?
=== agoliveira :)
05:10   asac    iwj: sarge :)?
05:10   cjwatson        iwj: /set term_charset "utf-8"
05:10   mdz     I will be forced to nominate one of my keys to be a compose key now
05:10   shawarma        I've got a big certification thing fro Brainbench that says "Sxren Hansen". Since then, I've gone with Soren.
05:10   iwj     mdz: No, I'm always hoping to be one century behind.
05:10   Mithrandir      mdz: caps lock is a good one.
05:10   kylem   Sxren is pretty metal.
05:10   mdz     Mithrandir: I use that. a lot.
05:10   seb128  fabbione: oe =
05:11   shawarma        seb128: no. ae =
05:11   iwj     Have we got a real agenda ? :-)
05:11   shawarma        seb128: Ah, sorry.
05:11   mdz     we do, it's in the wiki as always
05:11   pitti   Mithrandir: caps lock makes an invaluable Esc key
05:11   mdz     and this warm welcome was part of it :-)
05:11   shawarma        url, please?
05:11   fabbione        seb128: in danish written lang is different from compose stuff
05:11   mdz     next up, Keybuk re: Gutsy sprint
05:11   Keybuk  yup
05:11   BenC    you mean "party at millbank"?
05:11   Keybuk  you should all have the mail from Claire now
05:11   seb128  fabbione: in french we use  :p
05:12   Keybuk  please ensure that you've got your travel arrangements booked as early as possible
05:12   Keybuk  late booking may involve paying for cost differences
05:12   Keybuk  also make sure you book the cheapest travel (eyas can give you a price for comparison if you're booking on your own), taking a more expensive option may also involve paying the cost difference
05:12   Mithrandir      as in, we should just book already?
05:12   Keybuk  </reminder from claire>
05:12   kwwii   one question: how long does it take to get to heathrow from the hotel?
05:13   Keybuk  we're not sure where the hotel is yet
05:13   mdz     kwwii: tfl.gov.uk
05:13   Keybuk  it may be the K&K, in which case it's about 45 mins with no tube changes
05:13   Keybuk  or it may be at the Rochester, in which case it's about 1h with changes
05:13   Keybuk  or it may be at the secret Claire hotel wants me to try
05:13   kwwii   right, thanks :-)
05:13   Keybuk  and I don't know where that is
05:13   Keybuk  oh
05:13   Keybuk  and please don't look suspicious when arriving at the building
05:13   mdz     Keybuk: do hotels often want you to try Claires?
05:13   BenC    wow, makes for hasty mornings
05:13   agoliveira      Brazilains are a bit afraid of the London tube ;)
05:13   Keybuk  there are lots of men with guns next door <g>
05:14   fabbione        ehheh
05:14   mdz     BenC: they're both closer to the office than that
05:14   pitti   Keybuk: gulp
05:14   Keybuk  (the building next door to Millbank is the headquarters of the British Secret Service)
05:14   mdz     I thought they were across the river
05:14   dholbach        haha
05:14   bdmurray        sweet
05:15   cjwatson        it's MI5, not 6, no?
05:15   kwwii   I remember walking there from the KK, it is not that far
05:15   Keybuk  right
05:15   Keybuk  MI-6 is the building on the river bank opposite Millbank
05:15   mdz     the long and the short of it is, don't delay planning your travel. book now.
=== agoliveira is thinking about Tom Clancy's books
05:15   Keybuk  MI-5 is the building next door
=== kwwii is booking as we speak
05:16   mdz     Keybuk: upriver or down?
05:16   shawarma        Does anything interesting happen Friday night, or should I be on my merry way home?
05:16   mdz     shawarma: we will go out, one way or another
05:16   shawarma        mdz: I'll book for Saturday, then. :)
05:17   Keybuk  mdz: depends on the tide <g>
05:17   agoliveira      Nice. I'm booking for saturday anyway.
05:17   BenC    if we're bowling again, let me know so I can bring my uber cool ball and shoes
05:17   mdz     ok, next agenda item is from Mithrandir and pitti :-)
05:17   mdz     gutsy release management
05:17   agoliveira      BenC: I aways bring both
05:17   Mithrandir      so, who wants to be RM? :-P
05:17   pitti   I was sort of voluntold
05:17   agoliveira      BenC... balls :P
05:17   cjwatson        pitti has agreed to take on a certain amount of the release management work, at least for the time being
05:18   cjwatson        and with help from those of us who have done it before
05:18   Mithrandir      of course.
05:18   ogra    BenC, poker cards ?
05:18   pitti   Mithrandir: how much of your total work time took that so far?
05:18   BenC    ogra: always :)
05:18   ogra    yay :)
05:18   cjwatson        he already has archive admin access, and I'm arranging for cdimage access
=== seb128 hugs pitti
05:18   mdz     I suggested a conference call to begin the training process
05:19   mdz     to be continued at the sprint
05:19   Mithrandir      pitti: most of it.  It's not a problem to make it take up at least full-time, but I think we can make do with less, especially if we split the efforts somewhat.
05:19   pitti   (since I'm not exactly bored all the time ATM)
05:20   Mithrandir      agreed, you'd need to find somebody, or get somebody to be voluntold, to take on some of your duties.
05:20   shawarma        What was the URL for the agenda?
05:21   mdz     shawarma: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelTeamMeeting20070531
05:21   Mithrandir      if people are interested in release management, please do speak up since having an actual team would be good.
05:21   pitti   Mithrandir: so, can we have that conf call next week?
05:21   seb128  Mithrandir: and that somebody will need somebody else to take on some of his duties, etc... ? ;)
05:21   shawarma        mdz: cheers
05:21   cjwatson        pitti: as early as possible, perhaps tomorow
05:21   cjwatson        tomorrow
05:21   Riddell I'm interested in release management of course
05:21   pitti   cjwatson: sure
05:21   Mithrandir      pitti: that would work fine with me.
05:21   mdz     Riddell: you should be on the call as well
05:22   Riddell sure
05:22   mdz     ok, that's the end of the pre-selected agenda
05:22   Mithrandir      we have an upcoming tribe release next week, so that'll be a good training.
05:22   pitti   right; so, tomorrow then
05:22   mdz     is there other business for the meeting?
05:22   cjwatson        on which note, stuff is looking pretty good for Tribe 1, the alternate install CD is approaching workingness
05:23   heno    pitti: count me as part of the team for release testing
05:23   cjwatson        for the desktop CD, we're blocked on sysadmin taking action on livefs build script tweaks at the moment
05:23   BenC    FYI, the next kernel upload is expected to be Tribe 1
05:23   agoliveira      Can anyone tell the newcomers what is Tribe 1?
05:23   cjwatson        agoliveira: first milestone release of Gutsy
05:23   BenC    barring any unforseen "omg all your machines will die" type things
05:23   pitti   heno: that would be much appreciated
05:23   ogra    cjwatson, btw i fixed the persistent live mode for my classmate script ---
05:23   ogra    ...
05:23   agoliveira      cjwatson: Thanks
05:24   cjwatson        agoliveira: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule
05:24   pitti   BenC: will the next kernel upload be apport compatible again?
05:24   mdz     agoliveira: it's the bit which isn't described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment#head-edd418c43178ce21e3d72fc6e35b1a0892175cf3
05:24   pitti   seb128: oh, and should we enable apport again for gutsy now?
05:24   mdz     yet :-)
05:24   seb128  pitti: no
05:24   BenC    pitti: Oooh, it wasn't going to be, but I can toss in the changes real quick since they are tested
05:24   bdmurray        pitti: not yet I think
05:24   seb128  pitti: wait an another week please ;) I don't want to come back from holidays with a zillion of desktop bugs :p
05:24   pitti   BenC: if you could check /usr/share/apport/testsuite/test-apport kernel before upload, that would be great
05:24   Hobbsee mdz: sounds like an doc update needed then
05:25   BenC    pitti: notes, thanks
05:25   seb128  pitti: maybe after GNOME 2.19.3?
05:25   pitti   bdmurray, seb128: alright
05:25   mdz     Hobbsee: it's one of those things I noted should be written into it, but didn't have time to write up
05:25   pitti   BenC: thank you
05:25   pitti   seb128, bdmurray: whenever you guys say that the time is right
05:25   BenC    *noted
05:26   mdz     ok
05:26   mdz     anything else?
05:26   BenC    how many ppl on distro team now?
05:26   mdz     about 25
05:26   bdmurray        pitti: when did it get turned on for Feisty?
=== pitti hopes to see some of you guys at LinuxTag
=== dholbach hugs pitti
05:26   pitti   bdmurray: it was on all the time, I think
05:27   mdz     ok, sounds like we should wrap up the meeting
05:27   cjwatson        mdz: damn, I have to update my "about 20" stock answer
05:27   mdz     if there's anything else, please raise on the appropriate mailing list
05:27   pitti   bdmurray: but I'd really like to see the CrashReporting spec implemented before
05:28   BenC    bye everyone
05:28   mdz     adjourned, thanks all
