15:01:34 <roadmr> hm, new bot... 15:01:43 * holstein would like to thank akgraner officially for presenting at our LUG yesterday about ubuntu friendly
15:01:46 <holstein> http://www.wnclug.info/2011/08/ubuntu-friendly_30.html
15:02:37 <victorp> o/
15:02:43 <roadmr> victorp, go ahead
15:02:54 <victorp> I would like to say thanks too to akgraner!
15:02:55 <victorp>
15:03:32 <victorp> roadmr, what is the agenda for today?
15:03:33 <victorp> ..
15:03:59 <roadmr> ok, first topic on the agenda
15:04:17 <roadmr> [TOPIC] Ubuntu Friendly sprint and comments on the mockups for the websites
15:05:03 <roadmr> As you probably know there was an Ubuntu Friendly sprint last week, and a big push was done towards having all the Ubuntu Friendly components ready
15:05:22 <roadmr> Ara kept a detailed log of work done for the UF sprint on her blog, here's the link if you want to have a look:
15:05:35 <roadmr> [LINK] http://arapulido.com/
15:06:56 <roadmr> the blog includes mockups from the website, and the ones shown there are pretty close to what the actual website looks / will look like, so if you'd like to comment, either here or on the mailing list, we'd really appreciate it.
15:07:12 <akgraner> o/
15:07:17 <roadmr> akgraner, go!
15:07:39 <akgraner> I like it! It even makes sense to me --and the mobile stuff +1
15:08:08 <akgraner> and once I can play around on the site even better...
15:08:10 <akgraner> ...
15:09:08 <roadmr> thanks! it's not just mockups, an actual working version of the website is in the works and it looks great, we'll announce on the mailing list when it's available for playing with.
15:09:19 <akgraner> thank you!
15:10:46 <akgraner> ...
15:10:57 <roadmr> well, a lot of UF memberd pitched in, so it's been great teamwork on this.
15:11:27 <roadmr> So if there are no further comments on this topic (but please remember that we welcome all feedback on the mailing list as well, if you need more time to look at things), let's move on...
15:12:25 <roadmr> [TOPIC] Ubuntu Global Jam and Ubuntu Friendly
15:13:16 <roadmr> As I understand it the UGJ was this weekend, and I remember there were going to be some talks about UF. I thought it'd be good to hear something about that here, if anyone can comment on it.
15:13:22 <akgraner> o/
15:13:46 <roadmr> akgraner: go ahead!
15:14:12 <akgraner> The new system testing failed on Oneiric in 3d - so I fell back to Natty and ara's blog posts
15:14:33 <akgraner> the LUG group I presented it to was really excited and they are looking forward to giving you all feedback
15:15:03 <akgraner> I will be blogging about it all later today after App Dev Week Day one has ended - but over all the comments were good
15:15:14 <akgraner> and people are looking forward to participating
15:15:24 <akgraner> ...
15:15:48 <roadmr> Awesome, thanks! Looking forward to reading the blog entry on that!
15:16:52 <akgraner> I'll drop the link in here and the mailing list as well
15:16:53 <akgraner> ...
15:17:08 <akgraner> I meant -quality
15:17:09 <akgraner> ..
15:17:34 <roadmr> thanks, much appreciated!
15:18:10 <roadmr> anyone else on UGJ? questions for akgraner maybe?
15:20:10 <roadmr> ok then, thanks so much for the report akgraner. And apologies on the trouble with system testing on Oneiric, which is actually next topic on the agenda today...
15:20:31 <roadmr> [TOPIC] System testing on Oneiric Beta 1 and beyond
15:20:57 <roadmr> First, we have some reports that checkbox (system testing) fails to start on Oneiric, we're tracking down the causes and will have a fix in a bit.
15:21:07 <victorp> o/
15:21:25 <roadmr> Also, the actual list of tests that will be done as part of Ubuntu Friendly will be in checkbox 0.12.5, I thought this was supposed to ship with Beta 1 but I have reports that b1 still has version 0.12.4.
15:21:45 <roadmr> I'll announce in the mailing list when 0.12.5 is available as an update, as we would really appreciate feedback on the tests that run by default.
15:21:59 <IdleOne> o/
15:22:07 <roadmr> victorp, go ahead
15:22:22 <victorp> 12.0.5 intalls when you do update
15:22:45 <victorp> so
15:22:48 <victorp> I have installed
15:22:59 <victorp> b1 and works fine if you do not update
15:23:12 <victorp> as soon as you install updates system testing stops working
15:23:17 <victorp> as reported by akgraner
15:23:29 <victorp> I wonder if it is a problem with 12.0.5
15:23:36 <victorp> anyhow, once this is fixed
15:23:45 <victorp> we really need people to submit their systems
15:23:54 <victorp> so we can test the website with real data
15:24:17 <victorp> maybe we can send an email when it is fixed and with instructions to update to the latest version
15:24:18 <victorp> ..
15:24:59 <roadmr> thanks for the info, will be helpful in pinpointing the cause of the problem!
15:25:13 <roadmr> yes, we'll try to get this fixed and published ASAP
15:25:46 <akgraner> o/
15:25:54 <roadmr> #action checkbox developers to email when system testing problem is fixed with instructions on how to get the fix running 15:25:54 * meetingology checkbox developers to email when system testing problem is fixed with instructions on how to get the fix running
15:26:10 <roadmr> IdleOne: go ahead!
15:26:35 <IdleOne> sorry was going to say I am testing checkbox-cli and it seems to be working but it isn't for me.
15:26:44 <IdleOne> so, no good news.
15:26:48 <IdleOne> ..
15:27:18 <roadmr> IdleOne: yep, it's only with the gtk interface.
15:27:33 <roadmr> If you're interested in following progress solving this, look at this launchpad bug
15:27:42 <roadmr> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/checkbox/+bug/839675
15:27:43 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 839675 in checkbox "Gdk.color_parse error in oneiric" [Critical,Confirmed]
15:28:19 <IdleOne> -gtk won't even start, thanks for the link.
15:28:30 <roadmr> akgraner: go ahead!
15:28:33 <akgraner> one I should have checked and tested my system earlier on Friday before my presentation, but also is there a list of who to ping during a milestone over a weekend when things go wrong?
15:29:19 <akgraner> asking the community to test then not knowing who to ping during the milestone is/was frustrating a little
15:29:20 <akgraner> ...
15:30:35 <roadmr> akgraner, well that would be useful to have, some of us may be hanging around during the weekend and may be able to help. We'll see if it's possible to create such a list.
15:30:57 <akgraner> thank you - not all weekends just during major milestones
15:30:57 <victorp> o/
15:30:59 <akgraner> ...
15:31:07 <roadmr> victorp: go ahead!
15:31:13 <victorp> should akgraner not just email uf control?
15:31:59 <roadmr> yep exactly what I was going to say (not poaching victorp's idea, honest!)
15:32:12 <victorp> hehe
15:32:13 <victorp> ..
15:32:28 <roadmr> akgraner: if there's trouble with system testing you can always email ubuntu-friendly mailing list, it's very closely monitored by checkbox developers too
15:32:52 <akgraner> noted - and will do thanks
15:32:54 <akgraner> ..
15:33:02 <roadmr> we could also potentially report showstopper bugs in checkbox to the mailing list, but I'd hesitate to do that as it will be a lot of technobabble
15:34:29 <roadmr> so maybe a quick heads-up on the mailing list when checkbox has serious trouble would be worth it, all interested parties keep their eye on the list.
15:35:57 <roadmr> any more comments on system testing on Oneiric?
15:36:46 <roadmr> ok then, let's move on to...
15:36:55 <roadmr> [TOPIC] Any Other Business
15:37:25 <roadmr> got something to share with the Ubuntu Friendly community? now's the chance!
15:39:02 <roadmr> nothing?
15:39:53 <roadmr> well then, let's wrap up. Don't forget that you can always speak up on the next meeting, or on the ubuntu-friendly mailing list. We like to get feedback!
15:40:46 <roadmr> thanks everyone for showing up, we really appreciate your comments and participation, we'll get working on the agreed actions, see you next time!
