05:09   smurfix Is anybody going to open this meeting / are we waiting for people / ???
05:12   pitti   smurfix: I pinged sabdfl
Kamion  is here
05:15   sabdfl  hi all
05:15   sabdfl  nothing in the wiki agenda
05:16   sabdfl  can we call for any other business?
Kamion  I believe there were some NM candidates to approve
Kamion  the note in the agenda is from last week's TB meeting if memory serves correctly
05:16   smurfix Kamion: it serves
05:17   haggai  sabdfl asked me last week to ask here about NM
05:17   sabdfl  haggai: process is to become a contributor, then a maintainer in universe, then in main
05:17   sabdfl  Kamion: is there a list of NM candidates that the TB approved last week?
Kamion  I'm just trawling the irclog
05:18   smurfix the TB didn't
05:19   smurfix they were told to ask here first
05:19   sabdfl  i think all we did was confirm people who had already been approved at the previous CC meeting
Kamion  haggai is the only one I can see there who was referred to the CC for approval
05:19   smurfix s/they/at least one person
Kamion  the other people mentioned were already approved last meeting
05:19   sabdfl  haggai: do you have a sponsor, someone on the existing maintainer team who can vouch for you?
05:20   sabdfl  or can you point us at upstream / other distro maintainership credentials?
05:20   haggai  plenty I hope :)
Kamion  possibly enrico too, not clear on his current status
05:20   sabdfl  enrico's fully approved, both TB and CC
05:20   haggai  sabdfl: OOo / Debian maintainer etc
05:20   sabdfl  ah
05:20   sabdfl  packages in debian?
Kamion  sabdfl haggai is the OOo guy whose mail I referred to you last week
05:20   sabdfl  Kamion: chris?
Kamion  yes
05:20   haggai  sabdfl: that's me
sabdfl  blushes furiously
05:21   haggai  sorry for the obscure nick
05:21   sabdfl  certainly no objections from me, i'd already asked elmo to approve your key for KDE-related uploading
05:21   sabdfl  elmo, mako, comments on chris halls?
Kamion  Chris' only Debian package in his own name is ayttm, but he's done a great deal of work in teams; I'm happy
05:22   elmo    sabdfl: no problems at all with haggai
05:22   sabdfl  mako around?
Kamion  mako doesn't seem to be up yet
05:22   haggai  yeah OOo in a team is kind of a lot more more work than owning a normal package :)
05:22   sabdfl  if we have mdz and keybuk, maybe we can get TB go-ahead today too
05:23   smurfix mako's been idle for 10h
Kamion  haggai: quite so :-)
05:23   sabdfl  ok
05:23   sabdfl  i think that's a CC go ahead
05:23   sabdfl  don't want to wait a week for TB go ahead
05:24   haggai  ok thanks very much :)
05:24   sabdfl  haggai, if you can get an email from mdz to go with keybuk's go-ahead then you're sorted
Kamion  mdz just showed up, I guess he's trawling backlog
mdz     was distracted by the backlog on -devel actually :-)
05:24   Keybuk  haggai definitely has my go-ahead :)
05:24   sabdfl  elmo: will you act on a go-ahead for haggai from mdz?
05:24   sabdfl  i think this can extend to main ;-)
05:25   elmo    sure
05:25   sabdfl  elmo: do we have an easy way to let people upload to universe / multiverse only?
05:25   elmo    sabdfl: not right now, but it's an hour or so to implement
05:26   sabdfl  elmo: rock on ;-)
mako    waves
05:26   elmo    sabdfl: the existing approved maintainers - should they have access to main?
05:26   sabdfl  yes
05:26   elmo    ok
05:27   elmo    (they do right now)
05:27   sabdfl  we need to create a faster process for non-main uploaders
05:27   sabdfl  any other business?
mako    is caught up
05:27   sabdfl  kamion, thanks for standing in for mdz
mdz     yes, thanks
Kamion  np, will get back with progress later today; it was a relatively quiet week TBH
05:28   sabdfl  not in this house :-)
Kamion  heh
05:28   sabdfl  ok
05:28   sabdfl  anything in connection with The Mataro Sessions people want to raise?
05:29   sabdfl  looking fwd to meeting the local LUG'ers
05:29   sabdfl  thanks everyone
mdz     has a BOF about community processes already been proposed?
05:29   sabdfl  silbs: ^^?
05:29   silbs   yes, believe that's on the list
05:29   sabdfl  see you all there
Kamion  we don't seem to have anything scheduled yet for bringing new Ubuntu maintainers up to speed
05:29   silbs   lulu is drafting a schedule now. so other suggestions for bofs would be welcome
Kamion  might be worth having some kind of a Q&A session
05:30   mako    silbs: i think i had one or two
05:30   mako    Kamion: yeah, there is a plan for this
05:30   silbs   Kamion: what kind of q&a do you mean?
05:30   sabdfl  we haven't implemented some of the ideas that came out of oxford
05:30   sabdfl  "ubuntu enhancement proposals"
05:30   mako    Kamion: there will be a day for questions and more introductory stuff
mdz     yet
05:30   sabdfl  be nice to have that up and running for the conf
05:31   sabdfl  we could have a bof on each significant proposal
05:31   sabdfl  mako: where are we on shipit stats?
Kamion  silbs   what mako said; we have a number of non-Canonical Ubuntu maintainers coming to the conference, and I'm sure some of them have questions about process that are best answered in person; the non-Debian guys may also have technical problems we can help with
05:32   lulu    kamion: we have a BOF scheduled for this at the conf on the 8th
mdz     there is documentation that needs to be written
05:32   smurfix mako: ... and will there be a huge stack of CDs to carry off in Mataro?  ;-)
05:32   mako    sabdfl: i've been finalizing the dump from early last week.. but when i checked on thursday we had i think 800 orders between sunday and thursday so somewhere in the range of just under 2000 new order orders (average of ~10 cds) each way
05:33   mako    sabdfl: week
(Kamion/#ubuntu-meeting) lulu: ok, good
05:33   sabdfl  ok
05:33   sabdfl  so 20,000 / week going out
05:33   sabdfl  that's awesome
05:33   mako    sabdfl: it will fluctuate depending on press and such
05:34   sabdfl  can we wrap up?
05:34   sabdfl  elmo, mako, thanks
05:34   sabdfl  cheers
05:34   mako    yay, easy summary :)
05:36   haggai  thanks folks
Kamion  makes that a 19-minute meeting
Kamion  awesome
