    20:06:30 <knome> #info knome, skellat and pleia2 have put up an article about the two Xubuntu sessions to be posted on xubuntu.org

    20:07:16 <skellat> A last look by others prior to posting would be helpful, I presume.

    20:07:22 <knome> yes

    20:07:29 <knome> i will be pushing it to xubuntu.org today

    20:07:40 <knome> #info knome will move it to xubuntu.org today for reviewing

    20:07:44 <skellat> Do we have a link that can be shared to the current draft?

    20:07:51 <knome> not at the moment

    20:08:03 <knome> it's invite only, but i'll move it after the meeting, so it'll be accessible soon

    20:08:08 <skellat> OK

    20:08:18 <skellat> pleia2: Any thoughts as to the article?

    20:09:03 <pleia2> it's good

    20:09:31 <knome> i was wondering if we're pointing out too much that we're "in line" with other flavors

    20:09:43 <knome> it's brought up twice, and it got my attention

    20:11:00 <skellat> I'm iffy on that. Yes, I wrote it. I just felt at the time some strange need to show small-u unity.

    20:11:05 <knome> anyway, we can think about that when i've moved it to xubuntu.org

    20:11:16 <knome> #topic Xubuntu team members

    20:11:27 <knome> i propose to add skellat to xubuntu-team!

    20:11:52 <ochosi> +1

    20:12:20 <knome> imo other prospective contributors for memberships are lderan, jack fromm (docs guy) if they keep on contributing as they have done so far

    20:12:36 <lderan> i do plan on doing so

    20:12:41 <knome> that's great Smile :)

    20:12:46 <elfy> Smile :)

    20:13:14 <ochosi> sounds good to me

    20:13:45 <knome> otoh, people who need to step up to keep their memberships are: GridCube, maddernick, Unit193

    20:14:13 <knome> Unit193 has been showing raised motivation though Smile :)

    20:14:22 <Unit193> I have? :P

    20:14:23 <ochosi> (sounds a bit like the "tip-of-the-hat – wag-of-my-finger segment of stephen colbert, for those that know it)

    20:14:29 <knome> (just speak up more often and don't think it's unnecessary!)

    20:14:35 <ochosi> +1

    20:14:52 <knome> i'm thinking this also because...

    20:14:57 <elfy> I'd +1 that as well - but then I'd be saying too much Smile :)

    20:14:59 <Unit193> Yeah, that part...

    20:15:05 <knome> #topic Strategy Document reviewing

    20:15:52 <knome> i discussed it with various members in the team, and we all thought it would be more appropriate to have xubuntu-team voting the new XPL, not xubuntu-users

    20:16:55 <knome> #action [knome] Rewrite the XPL voting part in the SD for the team to review and vote on: TODO 20:16:55 * meetingology [knome] Rewrite the XPL voting part in the SD for the team to review and vote on: TODO

    20:18:43 <skellat> #topic UDS Day 3 Community Roundtable's Discussion Assessing vUDS Structure

    20:18:49 <skellat> #info skellat was present in capacity as a LoCo leader. (SEE ALSO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dF-5Ba4ApgA)

    20:19:15 <knome> +1

    20:19:47 <knome> was there any discussion about a possible real-life uds?

    20:19:54 <skellat> Nope

    20:20:17 <skellat> I did raise the point that in-person discussion works better

    20:20:24 <skellat> That point really didn't go anywhere

    20:20:35 <knome> it's weird that they give out that recommendation now - as if they had already decided that they'll keep with the virtual meetings

    20:20:51 <skellat> Oh, that's my recommendation

    20:20:58 <knome> oh, ok Smile :)

    20:21:01 <ochosi> i'm also wondering whether we should do hangouts more often as a team...

    20:21:04 <knome> then nvm me.

    20:21:09 <knome> ochosi, +1 now and then

    20:21:11 <skellat> knome: It is okay

    20:21:16 <Noskcaj> ochosi, +1

    20:21:18 <knome> but preparation should be better then

    20:21:21 <ochosi> yup

    20:21:25 <elfy> ochosi: might be good - I'd maybe even get a mic ... 20:21:32 * ochosi admits he was poorly prepared...

    20:21:32 <knome> or we should have a clear agenda with people marked running each item

    20:21:35 <skellat> Randall Ross was a big proponent of trying to get people together in groups to participate to leverage further the upper limit on available Google Hangout sessions

    20:21:43 <Unit193> ochosi: So was I.

    20:21:56 <ochosi> knome: +1 on clear agenda with assignees

    20:22:08 <knome> life got in the way for me too, but of course that's not a good reason to not be prepared

    20:22:08 <ochosi> that could help with preparation

    20:22:11 <elfy> +1 to that from me as well

    20:22:34 <knome> it was slightly scary too when people were so quiet on night 1 that lyz needed to tell us to say something

    20:22:46 <ochosi> assignees could 1) quickly sum up the topic (for those who didn't prepare ;)) and then 2) propose their $whatever and then 3) we could commonly discuss

    20:22:46 <elfy> I did try to speak up :p

    20:22:56 <elfy> ochosi: +1

    20:23:00 <skellat> Need a Vuvuzela for moments when silence reigns

    20:23:00 <knome> and tbh... 20UTC is not ideal for me at all

    20:23:07 <ochosi> skellat: +100

    20:23:13 <knome> haha

    20:23:17 <elfy> knome: too late?

    20:23:28 <ochosi> skellat: haven't heard those evil things in such a long time :]

    20:23:31 <knome> elfy, yeah, it's 11pm here and i'm worried about speaking too loud

    20:23:40 <knome> also, if wife has morning shifts the next day.. not good either.

    20:23:46 <Unit193> knome: Do note that text meetings are far better to catch up on when you missed them.

    20:23:52 <elfy> I understand - I'd be the same - little one is in bed directly above me

    20:24:04 <skellat> Partly timing comes down to compromises.

    20:24:15 <knome> Unit193, definitely, especially if we are taking notes as poorly as we did this time

    20:24:17 <elfy> to some extent skellat

    20:24:40 <ochosi> Unit193: yeah, agreed to that

    20:24:49 <knome> definitely, but otoh, we should make sure the people that are essential to any given item should be able to join the session

    20:25:00 <Unit193> (I'm thinking this because much earlier wouldn't work nearly as well.)

    20:25:02 <elfy> that's logical

    20:25:23 <skellat> knome: Jono discussed that a bit and noted how he's up at 1 AM and 6 AM in California for Ubuntu-related meetings

    20:25:30 <knome> i'm saying that if all artwork people are based in europe, we probably should have an artwork-related meeting at a suitable time for the european participants

    20:25:35 <elfy> for me - and probably only me this time is perfect

    20:25:54 <Unit193> elfy: Nope, great here.

    20:25:57 <lderan> its not too bad for me as well

    20:25:57 <knome> skellat, being up at 1am or 4am isn't a problem for me really.

    20:26:10 <elfy> knome: +1 - but it needs proper notes for those elsewhere to be able to read

    20:26:15 <knome> skellat, it's external things that make the times bad for me

    20:26:23 <skellat> knome: Understood

    20:26:27 <knome> elfy, we did do proper notes... after the meeting

    20:26:40 <elfy> yea - I'm just saying Smile :)

    20:26:48 <knome> the point is that it might be hard to follow the meetings if taking notes at meeting time was bad

    20:27:05 <Noskcaj> for me, i'm awake 2000UTC-1100UTC

    20:27:26 <elfy> knome: I agree - maybe if we're having a hangout type - someone who's ont so involved in discussion can do note taking

    20:27:39 <elfy> s/ont/not

    20:27:45 <ochosi> yeah, or a person without a microphone Wink ;)

    20:27:48 <lderan> I'm available 1900~2300 UTC

    20:27:49 <knome> elfy, otoh it's hard to do that if you're not too involved either

    20:28:08 <elfy> all you need do is be listening Smile :)

    20:28:15 <knome> sure

    20:28:17 <elfy> ochosi: I was that man ... 20:28:17 * ochosi is definitely totally not looking at elfy when he says that

    20:28:20 <knome> i'm bad at that... Wink ;)

    20:28:37 <ochosi> ok, knome doesn't do note-taking, cause he sucks

    20:28:39 <Unit193> elfy: I was almost. :P

    20:28:40 <ochosi> Wink ;)

    20:28:42 <knome> i mean, i'm bad at listening to something and being really focused if i can't participate

    20:28:55 <elfy> I can do that knome

    20:29:01 <knome> i'm good at remembering most things from a 1 hour meeting though if i have any agenda

    20:29:16 <knome> i barely take any notes from meetings with clients either

    20:29:22 <elfy> lol

    20:29:23 <ochosi> yeah, i think having a clear agenda and assignees should also ease note-taking though

    20:29:28 <knome> definitely

    20:29:32 <elfy> ochosi: +1

    20:29:44 <knome> the assignees could even handle the note taking for their own items

    20:29:53 <lderan> ochosi, +1

    20:29:57 <elfy> but - I'd not want to see hangouts take over from IRC meetings though

    20:30:02 <knome> that way nobody would need to just sit in the corner and shut down.

    20:30:09 <ochosi> oh, and may i add: this is the most verbose irc-meeting in quite a while, and i dare say it's not unrelated to the hangouts...

    20:30:10 <elfy> maybe once every 6 weeks or so

    20:30:32 <Noskcaj> on another topic (i'm not a chair yet), Should we try having LSC in for this release?

    20:30:36 <knome> ochosi, probably, and also because we had our last irc meeting in january or sth.

    20:30:54 <elfy> gives me time to not eat for a day or so and but a mic ... so ochosi stops bullying me Big Grin :)

    20:30:57 <knome> Noskcaj, let's get to that once we've finished with this item

    20:30:59 <ochosi> Noskcaj: in the lubuntu meetings it is currently discussed to drop it

    20:31:27 <skellat> Any further discussion as to UDS status?

    20:31:29 <knome> if we have a meeting every two weeks, a hangout every 6 weeks sounds about right

    20:31:32 <ochosi> elfy: before you do that PM me your address and i'll mail you one Wink ;)

    20:31:38 <elfy> lol

    20:32:00 <elfy> hang on skellat

    20:32:03 <knome> skellat, heh, okay Smile :)

    20:32:06 <knome> one more thing

    20:32:13 <elfy> knome: that sounds good to me

    20:33:18 <knome> i'm fine with that item now.

    20:33:20 <ochosi> question wrt hangouts

    20:33:22 <ochosi> (sorry)

    20:33:24 <elfy> I'd say we need to get the first one pretty soon

    20:33:24 <knome> ochosi, yeah?

    20:33:33 <ochosi> what is our policy on keeping our meetings available on youtube

    20:33:49 <ochosi> some of us might have privacy concerns wrt keeping the meetings online/available "forever"

    20:33:52 <knome> i would say drop them soonish.

    20:33:55 <Unit193> ^

    20:33:59 <knome> we have the notes from those in the ML

    20:34:01 <elfy> I'd say not - we can put notes up in wiki

    20:34:02 <ochosi> yeah, that's what i was hoping

    20:34:08 <ochosi> but i'm also saying that wrt future hangouts

    20:34:14 <knome> yes

    20:34:19 <ochosi> wondering whether we should even stream them to youtube...

    20:34:26 <knome> probably not

    20:34:30 <ochosi> (or if we do, drop them immediately afterwards)

    20:34:32 <knome> unless we have participants that can't fo G+

    20:34:37 <knome> yes, definitely

    20:34:44 <elfy> I don't see a need - if we're in IRC as well - people can ask there

    20:34:55 <knome> do we want to set a deadline when we drop the vUDS videos?

    20:34:59 <skellat> #idea Consider retention policy for hangouts on YouTube compared to the retention policy for IRC logs?

    20:35:22 <Unit193> I'd say stream them, and keep them for a week.

    20:35:29 <knome> i'm proposing dropping vUDS videos week after the meeting, other videos as soon as we've done.

    20:35:32 <knome> err, we're

    20:35:38 <elfy> till the next meeting?

    20:35:41 <lderan> sounds good

    20:35:51 <skellat> Keep video at least until next meeting

    20:35:58 <knome> elfy, i'm most probably proposing and meeting every two weeks

    20:36:03 <knome> s/and/a/

    20:36:09 <elfy> so if we had hangout today, IRC in fortnight - drop the youtube on the day we next meet?

    20:36:23 <ochosi> until next meeting would mean keeping the yt-video for 6 weeks?

    20:36:23 <skellat> elfy: +1

    20:36:26 <elfy> I guessed a fortnigjt Smile :)

    20:36:33 <knome> i would simply say...

    20:36:39 <ochosi> (with hangouts every 6 weeks)

    20:36:41 <elfy> ochosi: no the next meeting - not the next hangout

    20:36:43 <knome> one week. period.

    20:37:02 <elfy> I'll sit on the fence on that then Smile :)

    20:37:03 <ochosi> yeah, i'm kinda on knome's side here, if we take notes anyway, what are the videos good for?

    20:37:06 <knome> but that's of course open for discussion

    20:37:18 <pleia2> whynot keep it forever?

    20:37:22 <knome> i would even say only the vUDS-timed videos need to be up after the sessions

    20:37:30 <ochosi> what about re-evaluating that after the next hangouts?

    20:37:37 <pleia2> keeping it forever is easy (default), removing it takes effort and I don't know the value

    20:37:38 <knome> pleia2, privacy concerns, eg. some ugly monkeys don't want their face showing up forever in youtube

    20:37:44 <pleia2> boo

    20:37:47 <knome> (^ i'm referring to myself) 20:37:55 * ochosi feels like an ugly monkey now

    20:38:03 <elfy> why do you think I've no web cam ... :p

    20:38:11 <pleia2> ochosi: you're lovely Smile :) and not a lego

    20:38:13 <lderan> take them off youtube and host them somewhere else maybe?

    20:38:19 <knome> we should've had a hangout for this so i could've seen simon's face when i said that!

    20:38:23 <ochosi> elfy: ok, in that case i'll also mail you a camera

    20:38:29 <elfy> ha ha ha

    20:38:30 <knome> i don't think the problem is youtube

    20:38:33 <ochosi> Smile :)

    20:38:38 <knome> it's rather just keeping the videos up

    20:38:43 <ochosi> yeah

    20:38:49 <Unit193> knome: Ugly monkey? That feels directed...

    20:39:02 <elfy> I don't really see a need if the notes are good enough to keep the video up

    20:39:05 <knome> i don't want a policy that says "if you don't want to show up in a video, don't join the hangout" either.

    20:39:07 <skellat> Unit193: I thought it was a reference to the new Google Plus layout

    20:39:07 <pleia2> I think we benefit from the internet having too much stuff on it Wink ;) who will ever actually go dig these up ever again who isn't us?

    20:39:20 <knome> pleia2, employers?

    20:39:20 <ochosi> pleia2: imagine you say something stupid or look bored and future employers confront you at the job interview "you always looked so bored in the meetings!" imagine that!

    20:39:26 <knome> haha!

    20:39:26 <elfy> I just thought that keeping till the next meeting was a good compromise

    20:39:28 <knome> yes!

    20:39:40 <pleia2> if an employer is going to go scan through hours of UDS videos to find something to pick apart, I don't really want to work for them

    20:39:44 <pleia2> that's strange and creepy

    20:39:47 <elfy> lol

    20:39:54 <pleia2> (and unlikely)

    20:39:55 <knome> i can't see the added value of meeting videos being up after the meeting as long as we have notes

    20:40:05 <knome> notes are easier and faster to go through

    20:40:11 <ochosi> pleia2: yeah, but the vUDS videos are different from regular meetings imo

    20:40:11 <lderan> indeed they are

    20:40:13 <skellat> pleia2: It may be strange & creepy...but it is the new normal for HR. That and all those bloody eHarmony-style personality tests that are being required these days.

    20:40:23 <pleia2> saying stupid things on mailing lists is much more likely and searchable

    20:40:26 <elfy> how about we see how good the notes are - if they are as good as IRC logs - that's enough

    20:40:28 <lderan> those are a pain skellat

    20:40:28 <pleia2> ochosi: ours aren't vUDS videos

    20:40:33 <knome> and hangouts are going to be like "... *silence* .... (lyz:) say something" anyway

    20:40:37 <pleia2> ochosi: ours are on my private youtube, not linked to other vUDS things

    20:40:50 <pleia2> since ours aren't official sessions

    20:40:57 <knome> pleia2, still.

    20:41:01 <ochosi> pleia2: hmright.

    20:41:01 <pleia2> well, official for us, not official for UDS

    20:41:07 <Unit193> Lyz: say something! Unit193: Something.

    20:41:11 <pleia2> Smile :)

    20:41:12 <knome> yeah, like that

    20:41:16 <elfy> ha ha ha

    20:41:19 <ochosi> we can always have a vote on that...

    20:41:19 <knome> do you think that looks good on any of us?

    20:41:24 <knome> i veto.

    20:41:28 <pleia2> heh

    20:41:31 <elfy> I was fine knome :p

    20:41:40 <ochosi> knome: you _veto_ against voting? :p

    20:41:43 <skellat> Compared to how that job interview went on Night 1, the hangout sounds like it would have been a better use of time

    20:41:58 <lderan> oh dear

    20:42:06 <knome> skellat, that can be said of the part before ochosi joined, unfortunately

    20:42:19 <knome> it was about the developer involvement

    20:42:23 <knome> and no developers were around

    20:42:25 <elfy> ochosi: I think you're right - we should just vote and be done with it Smile :)

    20:42:36 <knome> nobody had anything to say, it had been beaten up in the blueprints already

    20:42:44 <ochosi> elfy: yeah, this is starting to take up too much time...

    20:42:46 <pleia2> I want to link the youtube videos to my blog post about UDS Sad :( must keep forever!

    20:43:13 <elfy> ochosi: it's because we're trying to catch up on what didn't get said over the last 2 days Smile :) 20:43:18 * Noskcaj doesn't see why you need them taken down.

    20:43:28 <knome> Noskcaj, you didn't have a camera.

    20:43:30 <ochosi> pleia2: but wouldn't an edited summary or something be nicer? i mean do you really want ppl to think that our meetings are lame and quiet (especially those that hit "close" after two minutes)?

    20:43:42 <pleia2> ochosi: ours really aren't that bad

    20:43:54 <Noskcaj> knome, i wasn't allowed a camera, my brother owns the only one in the house and said no

    20:43:58 <pleia2> plenty of uds sessions are like ours

    20:45:52 <ochosi> pleia2: i wouldn't mind voting on this again after we have a bit more "experience" with hangouts, would that be ok for you?

    20:45:53 <elfy> I didn't have a camera Smile :)

    20:45:59 <elfy> but as I will

    20:52:21 <knome> let's rewind

    20:52:35 <knome> do we want to have official hangouts at all if it's this hard?

    20:52:45 <knome> want to vote on that, or discuss?

    20:53:23 <Unit193> I don't think it exactly needed a vote, everyone seemed to be good to do them.

    20:53:26 <ochosi> hmpf, i was actually generally in favor of hangouts, but i guess i opened a can of worms with mentioning privacy concerns...

    20:53:32 <ochosi> brb

    20:53:51 <knome> Unit193, well as ochosi said, didn't need back then but now...

    20:53:52 <elfy> personally I see the value in a face to face thing - but I can understand if people have privacy concerns

    20:54:14 <skellat> #action skellat, as a professionally-trained librarian, to assist pleia2 with archiving Nights of Xubuntu in such manner as pleia2 deems fit after the in-meeting vote 20:54:14 * meetingology skellat, as a professionally-trained librarian, to assist pleia2 with archiving Nights of Xubuntu in such manner as pleia2 deems fit after the in-meeting vote

    20:54:32 <knome> so...

    20:54:40 <pleia2> I don't really want to be a part of this archiving process

    20:54:47 <skellat> #undo

    20:54:47 <meetingology> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Action object at 0x35e9110>

    20:54:54 <pleia2> so you'll have to use someone else's youtube account

    20:54:54 <elfy> perhaps if the 2 weekly ones were not kept and the vUDS ones were - people can just do audio if they don't like the idea of being 'seen'

    20:55:16 <knome> me neither, but i wanted to offer a compromise for deleting forever

    20:55:18 <pleia2> (it's bad enough that we're using a proprietary tool for all of this, I don't want to be a part of a process that further closes access to these resources)

    20:55:41 <knome> i think i would be fine with audio-only recording in public foreverish

    20:56:01 <lderan> as would i

    20:56:25 <skellat> Mostly for archiving it would involve grabbing said videos, storing them away from YouTube, and making them available as others require. 20:56:37 * Noskcaj is back from mustering sheep

    20:56:54 <elfy> I see no need to be getting into archiving - the notes should be enough

    20:56:57 <knome> skellat, i think that's just silly for what xubuntu is

    20:57:03 <skellat> I don't like the idea either but it preserve access to it, however minimal, even if I have to burn a DVD and mail it to somebody

    20:57:26 <elfy> overkill imo

    20:57:46 <knome> pleia2, would you vote against hangouts at all then, or would you be fine with some kind of socializing hangouts that aren't public?

    20:58:04 <pleia2> knome: I'm not going to participate in them unless they're public

    20:58:16 <knome> to help with communication (which was the point of hangouts anyway), but not to specifically discuss xubuntu-related issues

    20:58:34 <pleia2> I'm not trying to be difficult here, it just feels very wrong as an open source project, I don't like it and don't feel it's fair

    20:58:42 <knome> i understand

    20:58:53 <elfy> then we should do as we did before

    20:59:02 <elfy> meet here and use meetingology

    20:59:30 <knome> i like the point that ochosi had about making communication more natural

    20:59:32 <Unit193> Sadly, seems so.

    20:59:38 <knome> (not just during the hangouts, but also after)

    21:00:03 <elfy> nothing to stop people doing so outside of meeting

    21:00:04 <knome> but i would be uncomfortable with "private" social hangouts as well if some of the people were uncomfortable joining them

    21:00:06 <pleia2> there are subtleties and assumptions when having a natural video discussion that don't transfer well into notes, and you won't get full background as to why things are decided by raw notes that don't have details

    21:00:41 <elfy> pleia2: that might well be the case - but then that invalidates any meeting that happened before Smile :)

    21:00:53 <knome> pleia2, i understand if you still don't want to, but would the hangouts be fine if nothing was "decided" on them?

    21:01:04 <knome> pleia2, if it was clearly social

    21:01:09 <elfy> I don't see why audio only is an issue

    21:01:25 <Unit193> A #xubuntu-offtopic hangout rather than #xubuntu-devel.

    21:01:27 <pleia2> knome: so we already have private conversations sometimes about things

    21:01:32 <pleia2> even project things

    21:01:53 <pleia2> I think it's fine for people to do a hangout privately to collect thoughts and discuss things

    21:02:04 <knome> elfy, i suppose one can argue that part of the communication is lost in the process

    21:02:13 <pleia2> just when it comes to presenting things to the community for a decision, community discussion, etc - we need all rationale and explaining out there in full, forever

    21:02:23 <elfy> knome: less so than IRC

    21:02:36 <knome> pleia2, i see, but that doesn't build up the community as a whole

    21:02:52 <knome> elfy, sure, but in the case of IRC meetings everybody "loses" the subleties.

    21:02:53 <pleia2> what doesn't?

    21:03:08 <knome> pleia2, having private one-on-one hangouts

    21:03:28 <pleia2> no, it would be disappointing to me to see things move from here to private hangouts

    21:03:38 <pleia2> I don't want to *encourage* them Wink ;)

    21:03:44 <knome> pleia2, that too.

    21:03:49 <skellat> I do find it odd that we want to quickly nuke video yet the proceedings of this IRC channel are preserved forever over at irclogs.ubuntu.com

    21:03:51 <pleia2> but if people want to knock through some debugging or testing of stuff together on a hangout, whatever

    21:03:59 <pleia2> skellat: right, that's my point

    21:04:15 <pleia2> right now we have a great system of transparency and keep-logs-forever

    21:04:21 <pleia2> moving some meetings to hangouts that get deleted is Sad :(

    21:04:24 <Unit193> skellat: I don't like that either, and that's part of the reason I avoid this channel. I randomly avoid the support channels as well.

    21:04:36 <elfy> I don't see what's so hard to understand about people not wanting their face out there forever

    21:04:36 <knome> then we should simply keep the meetings in IRC

    21:05:34 <knome> i'm personally fine if we decided to keep the UDS sessions up forever, but i can empathize with others on their privacy issuses

    21:05:47 <elfy> is my view as well

    21:06:15 <pleia2> elfy: I understand, but you have to balance privacy issues with being a part of a global project that values transparency

    21:06:44 <knome> pleia2, we went wrong with that by not discussing these kinds of things before the first hangouts

    21:06:51 <pleia2> knome: indeed

    21:07:10 <pleia2> I've been doing Ubuntu on-air stuff for over a year, didn't even think that anyone would have a problem with it Sad :(

    21:07:29 <pleia2> (or at least they'd do what elfy did and not do voice+video if they were uncomfortable with it)

    21:07:39 <elfy> indeed - my point is that if it's good enough to be audio only for Ubuntu then it should be good enough for us

    21:08:03 <knome> pleia2, what's your stance on audio-only preserving?

    21:08:13 <elfy> "Where people are uncomfortable joining a hangout, and want to do that in audio only then that is fine"

    21:08:33 <skellat> Nothing says we have to stick with Google Hangouts. We can always go to Mumble and deposit the audio with Archive.org.

    21:08:42 <knome> most definitely

    21:08:55 <knome> and we can decide not to do non-IRC meetings as well if that's the consensus

    21:09:04 <elfy> I hasten to add that I really don't have mic or camera and if I had then you'd have heard me and seen me

    21:09:10 <Noskcaj> no-one did anything that requires video, but that may change in the future. we might have to decide after each meeting

    21:09:16 <skellat> yofel has a server we could use, we could use Hacker Public Radio's server and have our sessions really made available to a wide audience, and we could set up ourselves too.

    21:09:21 <pleia2> audio only is fine as long as we don't mind not knowing who is talking Smile :)

    21:09:23 <knome> Noskcaj, no, *before* each meeting.

    21:09:36 <pleia2> elfy: ah, see I assumed it was a privacy thing Smile :)

    21:09:55 <Unit193> knome: It actually is harder to understand your spoken word without seeing you.

    21:09:56 <elfy> pleia2: it is - but not so much for me

    21:10:04 <pleia2> I assumed the same with Unit193 not showing his name/video too, it was surprising to see his face the 2nd day!

    21:10:10 <knome> pleia2, it probably is... but otoh, there wasn't privacy concerns because we didn't communicate it clearly enough how we would proceed with the streaming.

    21:10:23 <Unit193> pleia2: Couldn't the first, kept turning it off the second.

    21:10:27 <knome> pleia2, he was already in in the testing session on night 0 !

    21:10:29 <pleia2> knome: yeah, I just assumed everyone was familiar with ubuntu on air stuff because it's been around for a while now

    21:11:07 <knome> pleia2, tbh i kind of am, but i didn't think of the privacy concerns before today.

    21:11:17 <knome> pleia2, i mean, in the case of the xubuntu sessions.

    21:11:41 <pleia2> and I'm the wrong one to ask about privacy, anyone in the world can easily get my home address

    21:11:48 <pleia2> and know where I am at any given moment

    21:12:02 <pleia2> princessleia.com/where \o/

    21:12:05 <Noskcaj> someone ping me when we change topic, this is getting repetitive.

    21:12:14 <knome> mine as well, and if you happen to know my real name (not really hard to find out either), you can't be mistaken of the person. i'm the only one of me around.

    21:12:28 <knome> (of my name)

    21:12:33 <elfy> Smile :) 21:12:35 * knome looks where pleia2 is

    21:12:44 <knome> "oh, USA"

    21:12:45 <skellat> I actually have a cousin with a different middle name in Florida who is a knucklehead

    21:12:46 <knome> :]

    21:13:25 <knome> meh.

    21:13:35 <skellat> But yeah, my home address is easily found through voter records in Ohio which are just a downloadable CSV file

    21:13:42 <knome> should we talk about the 3NoX sessions specifically?

    21:13:55 <ochosi> (nox=night in latin)

    21:14:06 <knome> ochosi, i know! Smile :)

    21:14:10 <knome> what are we going to do what we have now

    21:14:21 <knome> then consider how we want to proceed

    21:14:32 <knome> (we can even schedule one complete meeting for that)

    21:14:50 <knome> s/proceed/proceed with session recordings in the future/

    21:14:58 <skellat> Status Quo pending further discussion

    21:15:29 <knome> let's make this easy.

    21:15:37 <knome> ochosi, how long are you comfortable the session being up?

    21:15:45 <knome> Unit193, how long are you comfortable the session being up?

    21:16:08 <ochosi> i was assuming it would go away after the meetings over, and i still don't see the use of keeping it up if we have notes

    21:16:31 <Unit193> knome: As in, how long would I like to keep them up? I would like them off in two weeks, but I could do with the saucy cycle I suppose.

    21:16:37 <knome> ochosi, that isn't really an answer for my question

    21:16:38 <ochosi> but whatever, if you wanna keep it up for a certain while, i don't feel like being the grinch

    21:16:56 <knome> i think this is a good start

    21:17:08 <knome> would it be a viable option to keep sessions up for the whole cycle?

    21:17:08 <ochosi> more felt like the beginning of the end for hangouts

    21:17:25 <knome> pleia2? is that open enough?

    21:17:42 <knome> i mean, people could refer to the sessions as long as we were developing the release we're talking about..

    21:17:43 <pleia2> knome: this time Wink ;)

    21:17:52 <knome> ...items need to be taken up again anyway after a release

    21:17:57 <knome> pleia2, and in the future?

    21:18:04 <pleia2> if people are ok with it, maybe next UDS we tell them to turn off their camera if they're not comfy

    21:18:23 <lderan> that sounds fair

    21:18:30 <knome> in that case i don't think i'm comfortable in having hangouts, tbh

    21:18:46 <knome> being in G+ is giving a hardish time for me anyway.

    21:18:56 <skellat> *snort* The feed for Randall Ross failed in one session this morning so all you saw was a generic G+ avatar with him talking

    21:18:57 <pleia2> yeah, real name policy there and all

    21:18:58 <elfy> shall we shelve this for the moment?

    21:19:06 <pleia2> I don't love G+ for that

    21:19:15 <pleia2> elfy: wise

    21:19:15 <elfy> let people think some more and revisit it

    21:19:23 <skellat> If I didn't have to maintain my LoCo's G+ Page, I wouldn't even be using it

    21:19:39 <knome> well i suppose we have a plan for the 3NoX: keep the sessions up for the saucy cycle, then make them private

    21:20:02 <knome> i will be downloading them to my harddrive for archiving as well, so we can check things if we need to.

    21:20:15 <pleia2> ok

    21:20:30 <Unit193> So, we're technically going against the vote.

    21:20:40 <elfy> appears so

    21:20:45 <knome> Unit193, it wasn't technically a wise vote...

    21:20:55 <knome> i mean, how it was set up

    21:21:07 <skellat> Hold a quickie vote to ratify what we've done now and overrule the previous?

    21:21:07 <knome> i don't think we have a choice here

    21:21:11 <knome> sure.

    21:21:34 <skellat> Besides, I'm having a hard enough time searching for the second night's video in YouTube as it is

    21:21:50 <knome> #vote Should we keep the 3NoX session recordings up for the Saucy cycle (+1) or delete them instantly (-1) ?

    21:21:50 <meetingology> Please vote on: Should we keep the 3NoX session recordings up for the Saucy cycle (+1) or delete them instantly (-1) ?

    21:21:50 <meetingology> Public votes can be registered by saying +1, +0 or -1 in channel, (private votes don't work yet, but when they do it will be by messaging the channel followed by +1/-1/+0 to me)

    21:21:59 <knome> skellat, just look at the mailing list Smile :)

    21:22:00 <knome> +1

    21:22:00 <meetingology> +1 received from knome

    21:22:00 <Unit193> +0

    21:22:08 <meetingology> +1 received from skellat

    21:22:19 <skellat> knome: It just shows how low discoverability is

    21:22:22 <knome> ochosi?

    21:22:44 <ochosi> -1

    21:22:44 <meetingology> -1 received from ochosi

    21:22:47 <knome> skellat, at the moment, but google will fix that

    21:23:15 <knome> if we end with a tie between +1 and 0, do you think the vote is still valid?

    21:23:47 <knome> people who voted +0, please specify with a few words.

    21:24:12 <knome> (if you wanted C. something else, or if you are just abstaining)

    21:24:43 <elfy> I was abstaining as, whether it's there forver or just 30 hours - I'm not there anyway

    21:25:00 <knome> elfy, thanks.

    21:25:02 <elfy> so I need to really abstain

    21:25:02 <knome> Unit193, lderan?

    21:25:09 <knome> fair enough

    21:25:52 <Unit193> knome: I won't vote against it, but I can't exactly vote for it.

    21:26:19 <skellat> Unit193: Blank/spoiled ballot then?

    21:26:21 <lderan> abstained, I have no issues with my face being in the public domain. As long as there is an archive of the video somewhere im good

    21:26:28 <knome> (i just want to point out that we are in the 1,5 hour mark; and one couldn't say it's because we're not communicating all the time)

    21:26:36 <knome> #endvote

    21:26:36 <meetingology> Voting ended on: Should we keep the 3NoX session recordings up for the Saucy cycle (+1) or delete them instantly (-1) ?

    21:27:13 <knome> #agreed We will keep the 3NoX videos up for the Saucy cycle, then make them inaccessible in YouTube. This overrules the previous vote. 21:27:22 * knome hugs pleia2 21:27:26 * pleia2 hugs 21:27:28 * skellat hugs pleia2

    21:27:39 <pleia2> hugs all around!

    21:27:40 <ochosi> hf hugging everyone and good night Wink ;)

    21:27:40 <knome> #topic LSC

    21:27:43 <pleia2> woo uds

    21:27:44 <pleia2> Smile :)

    21:27:45 <knome> nighty ochosi

    21:27:48 <elfy> night ochosi

    21:27:49 <knome> Noskcaj, ping

    21:27:50 <pleia2> night ochosi

    21:27:54 <lderan> night ochosi

    21:27:55 <Unit193> ochosi: Night, but I didn't hug.

    21:28:13 <knome> Unit193, puss och kram

    21:28:15 <ochosi> (and wrt LSC, don't forgtet to check whether lubuntu doesn't want to drop it)

    21:29:09 <Noskcaj> i think lubuntu are supporting it now, but need more devs. should i fetch phillw?

    21:29:18 <Unit193> https://code.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-software-center-team/light-software-center/trunk

    21:29:20 <knome> feel free to

    21:30:35 <elfy> brb

    21:31:59 <Unit193> I'd rather have Synaptic rather than LSC. Now, would LSC be in addition to, or replacing USC? One of the main features is paid applications, or so I hear.

    21:32:25 <knome> Unit193, i would imagine replacing. but we need to discuss the state of LSC first

    21:32:43 <pleia2> generally I prefer USC because we know that will be supported and maintained long-term

    21:33:13 <knome> yes, i think the biggest negative side in getting LSC would be needing to (co)maintain it

    21:33:13 <pleia2> (lubuntu is a small team and LSC does need work)

    21:33:18 <knome> that's not something we want

    21:33:23 <pleia2> yeah

    21:33:37 <Noskcaj> i use neither, but the fact LSC is far more lightweight better follows the project goals

    21:33:48 <elfy> back

    21:34:01 <knome> but i'm interested in hearing if LSC is becoming something more general maintained by some specific group (and not requiring maintenance from xubuntu's side)

    21:34:07 <skellat> I can't say I really use either USC or LSC. I still mostly with aptitude and apt-offline.

    21:34:10 <knome> Noskcaj, goals yes, but not the means

    21:34:24 <pleia2> Noskcaj: I'd say project maturity is more important, and LSC needs work

    21:34:28 <knome> Noskcaj, or are you willing to spend your time on being the maintainer from xubuntu?

    21:35:08 <pleia2> it's a great effort and it's nice to see a team working on a lightweight alternative that's more friendly than synaptic, I just don't think it's where we need it to be

    21:35:27 <elfy> I'd not be +1 to replacing a thing that I know works fine like synaptic with lsc

    21:35:37 <knome> isn't there some recent development for synaptic as well? (Unit193?)

    21:36:06 <Unit193> knome: There has been some, yes. For one thing, it's been ported to GTK3.

    21:36:09 <Noskcaj> knome, no, mostly because i'm not capable of it.

    21:36:25 <knome> we will probably need to discuss this in a more "serious" meeting, but what do you think generall of USC/synaptic and which we should have

    21:36:52 <pleia2> synaptic still launches with an "All" menu that starts with Amateur Radio, Communication, Communication (multiverse)... and it's not so pretty or intuitive Smile :)

    21:37:15 <knome> Noskcaj, i wouldn't expect many would, even if they were capable, and while i'm not deciding on other peoples' time devoting, i wouldn't say it's the wises place to put developer effort in

    21:37:19 <pleia2> going through this list for a normal user is huge scary

    21:37:21 <Unit193> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+source/synaptic/+changelog little info here at least.

    21:37:22 <elfy> pleia2: but it's not so slow as to make me think it's hung

    21:37:40 <pleia2> GObject Introspection data <--- that even scares me

    21:37:46 <knome> lol

    21:38:11 <pleia2> elfy: yeah, but if I gave this to my uncle he'd have no idea this is how you're supposed to install software

    21:38:16 <pleia2> it's some hacker tool or something

    21:38:34 <elfy> Smile :)

    21:38:46 <knome> should we install synaptic *in addition* to USC?

    21:39:01 <Noskcaj> elfy, i doubt we'd replace synaptic with it.

    21:39:17 <elfy> knome: I don't think we need do that - if it's there those who prefer it can soon apt-get it

    21:39:50 <knome> Noskcaj, we aren't shipping synaptic

    21:39:54 <elfy> I thought the issue was replacing usc with lsc

    21:40:21 <knome> yes

    21:40:25 <knome> or the question

    21:40:31 <elfy> yea

    21:40:35 <knome> and my other question was if we wanted to add synaptic

    21:40:42 <Noskcaj> everyone adanced nough to use synaptic knows how to install it from the command line. and other users would not use it at all

    21:40:48 <elfy> my answer to that last one is

    21:40:58 <knome> but i suppose people are too tired... so thanks!
