Agenda

• Begin Meeting

  • Call to order in #ubuntustudio-devel at 7pm (19:00) UTC June 13 2010

  • Note attendees
• Agenda amendments
• LV2 Packaging:

  • continue LV2 packaging plan - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/TaskLV2Inclusion

  • might focus on getting these into Debian first
  • quadrispro has already commented he wanted to do the vocoder, perhaps he can help with others
  • any others with packaging experience and want to help?
  • can Debian Multimedia Team also help?
• JACK2 / Pulse Audio Integration:

  • this is looking good already because JACK2 is in Debian already (per TheMuso on IRC)

  • TheMuso is apparently tracking this

  • crimsun, TheMuso, and persia have talked on IRC about how to proceed and might discuss this at UDS with Free

• Network Manager
  • user's troubles was a bug in gnome-network-admin that left options not shown or changeable

  • Ricardo (rlameiro) reported it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/570828

  • how soon can a fix be expected for users?
  • Is it possible to do a ISO re-spin, if the bug is corrected?

    • however, we still might consider testing NetworkManager again

    • whatever the decision going forward, we should document it and post to the -user mailing list
• Ubuntu Studio Controls Update and Redesign
  • update ubuntustudio-controls for rtpri and memlock settings
    • JACK now handles rtpri and memlock in /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf

    • see http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau/2010/3/5/166428 for background

  • Ricardo (rlameiro) is proposing a redesign of ubuntustudio-controls

    • see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/ControlsRedesign

    • rtirq script for avoid irq conflicts (especially for firewire)
    • enable Ubuntu Studio PPA for -rt kernels and "backported" applications
    • install -lowlatency/-preempt/-rt kernel from PPA
    • install ubuntu-restricted-extras
    • user in audio group (perhaps check box to add and remove)

    • remove nice setting? see: http://www.pubbs.net/201003/linuxaudio/10007-re-lau-changing-for-editing-etcsecuritylimitsconf-in-debiantesting-ubuntu-lucid.html

    • is there anything else someone probably does routinely to a Ubuntu Studio install that we could incorporate?
• Ubuntu Studio Applications Backporting

  • discussion between John Dong and myself after Jussi poked me: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2010-May/002364.html

  • John suggested using "official" Ubuntu Studio backporting PPA because:
    • it's like kubuntu
    • it allows us to maintain control
    • it doesn't overload the already overworked backports team
    • provides proving grounds that backported apps have quality
    • then can be included in official Ubuntu backports repository
  • if we don't want to use Ubuntu Studio backports PPA then we need small group to test and provide vocal feedback in backport bugs
• Update Website

  • good summary of previous discussion at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Sandbox#Notes%20from%20IRC%20Logs

  • a good direction appears to be using Word Press
  • detrate is really engaged with this task, we should focus on supporting him

  • you can find the available information at UbuntuStudio/TaskWebRevamp

• Reduce Delta Between Ubuntu Studio and Debian

  • information about this can be found at: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/multidistrotools/ubuntustudio.html

  • push patches back to Debian Multimedia where applicable for the local changes
    • this would reduce work for Ubuntu Studio team because hopefully the packages will autosync in future releases

    • see: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/multidistrotools/ubuntustudio.html#sameversionbutlocalinB

    • see: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/multidistrotools/ubuntustudio.html#outdatedandlocalinB

  • this will also hopefully increase and improve our relationship with the Debian Multimedia Team (note: quadrispro is a member)
• Testing Procedures
  • in order to help (and encourage) our users to test we should develop testing procedures

  • since stochastic is lead of ubuntustudio-testers group can he help develop procedures

  • ScottL offers to assist develop the procedures and document it on help.ubuntu.com
• Ubuntu Studio Documentation
  • establish uses for help.ubuntu.com vs. wiki.ubuntu.com
  • suggested direction:
    • help.ubuntu.com is community facing documentation
    • wiki.ubuntu.com is for developers and contributors to organize for release
  • document this decision and email users
