  14:12:15 <balloons> who all is about?

  14:12:27 <phillw> o/

  14:12:50 <balloons> phillw, I think this will be short and sweet

  14:12:56 <phillw> yup

  14:12:59 <balloons> [TOPIC] Ubuntu Updates

  14:13:50 <balloons> Next week we'll have the alpha 3 milestone testing. Should be a good week, and the images are in a good state going in to the week. I, knock on wood, don't see us needing a ton of respins

  14:14:57 <balloons> Because we've reached the point in the cycle where features are landing (yay!), you can expect more testing of applications coming soon. Unity testing will be happening again this cycle among other things

  14:17:13 <balloons> I also was talking with the u+1 team and the folks running the dev version of ubuntu as there daily machine about expanding the package tracker to help their workflow with triaging problems, bug reports, and watching critical packages

  14:18:26 <balloons> The basic idea was to hand select some packages, and add some basic smoke testing for them. We'd monitor the versions as they update in the archive and we can keep a status on when things break and what bugs where found, etc

  14:18:38 <balloons> I hope to show an example and get more feedback soon

  14:18:41 <balloons> that's it from me

  14:18:44 <balloons> questions?

  14:18:53 <phillw> nope

  14:18:58 <balloons> alright

  14:19:04 <balloons> [TOPIC] Ubuntu Flavors

  14:19:22 <balloons> so phillw, updates from lubuntu?

  14:19:36 <phillw> bug 1007394 is still an issue

  14:19:38 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1007394 in mdadm (Ubuntu) "Quantal daily fails to complete installation" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1007394

  14:19:58 <phillw> currently awaiting one of the ppc testers to try something for the devs.

  14:20:17 <phillw> lack of firefox in ppc has been fixed.

  14:20:49 <phillw> nothing else to report, testing is going well on the whole.

  14:24:01 <balloons> yay!

  14:24:13 <balloons> browsing on ff is restorede

  14:24:20 <balloons> did you see the plant article phillw on ppc?

  14:24:35 <phillw> no, do you have a link?

  14:25:17 <balloons> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/benmcollins13/ubuntu/~3/-IS64CHats0/community-conundrum-powerpc.html

  14:25:28 <phillw> thanks

  14:26:01 <balloons> np.. not sure if you know who Ben is or not

  14:26:08 <balloons> regardless, his lament is on target

  14:27:38 <phillw> well, provided their remains a kernel available, lubuntu are pretty committed to have a ppc release.

  14:27:44 <phillw> *there*

  14:28:06 <balloons> yep, it's a good thing

  14:28:24 <balloons> ok, any other flavors about willing to share an update?

  14:28:35 <phillw> seems like we're the last hope for them.

  14:29:06 <astraljava> balloons: Not really, I've been really badly out of the loop recently... Sorry.

  14:30:18 <balloons> astraljava, that's ok -- how's alpha 3 looking for you?

  14:30:24 <balloons> I know it's hard to believe it's coming already

  14:36:29 <balloons> alright, so let's finish up

  14:36:34 <balloons> [TOPIC] Other topics

  14:36:40 <balloons> anything else to discuss anyone?

  14:39:35 <astraljava> We're supposedly having that discussion today, but I really don't know how Xubuntu is at the moment. 14:39:43 * astraljava frowns

  14:39:58 <phillw> balloons: I replied to the plant article with a request for testers

  14:40:49 <balloons> phillw, hopefully it helps ppc users, and lubunutu

  14:41:03 <balloons> astraljava, sorry to hear. I'm sure it will get sorted out

  14:41:18 <balloons> Well, I think that wraps everything up

  14:41:25 <balloons> thanks for attending!
