09:03 sorush20     hi
09:04 Riddell      wow, what a turn out :)
=== robotgeek is VenkatRaghavan
09:04 raphink      so as I said, Tonio couldn't do it tonight, but he had a lot to report
                   and to ask at this meeting, so he asked me to do it for him
09:04 sorush20     tell me about it..
                   it was raphink who suggested we have a meeting and I guess one of the
09:04 Riddell      outcomes of it should be whether meetings are useful and if we should
                   have more in the future
09:04 raphink      so I'll be doing my best to represent him ;)
=== incinerator is C. Dominik Bodi (just lurking)
09:04 jjesse       personal thought was about time
09:04 seth         jjesse +1
09:04 sorush20     Riddell: if you want a better turnout we shoudl advertise this channel
                   on the #ubuntu channel topic..
09:04 raphink      we have a lot of things on the agenda, so I suggest we begin now

09:06 Psi-Jack     Did I miss anything? :)
09:06 jpatrick     \o/
09:06 Riddell      is there anyone else we should get membership/MOTU for?
09:06 raphink      Psi-Jack: we just began
09:06 luka74       #testlr
09:06 seth         Riddell, I'll be getting around to MOTU soon enough :/
09:06 Psi-Jack     Great. I'll be quiet and listen for now, then. ;)
09:07 raphink      seth: good :) I'm looking forward to it
09:07 Riddell      seth: great
09:07 seth         Riddell, too many things on my plate right now though, and I don't
                   know if I've contributed sufficiently at this point
09:07 raphink      ok :)
09:07 Riddell      I wonder if Hobbsee would get past the membership dudes yet
09:07 jpatrick     that TechBoard stuff is long..........
=== Snake__ votes in Hobbsee
09:07 Hobbsee      Riddell: i have no idea
09:07 Snake__      :)
09:07 raphink      jpatrick: hehe
09:07 raphink      :)
09:07 allee        Riddell: I assume I can dare to apply for membership
09:07 seth         Riddell, opinion on what more I should get done before running the TB
                   gauntlet?
                   is it just me or does the
09:08 sorush20     http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event/2006/02/16/month/event site keep
                   crashing I can't see the adgenda help
09:08 Riddell      allee: yes, please do
09:08 Riddell      sorush20: yes, data centre is half out
09:08 jpatrick     seth: lots of supporters
=== allee adds to TODO
09:08 seth         (I'm now maintaining 6 packages in Kubuntu and have about 2 1/2 dozen
                   uploads)
09:08 Psi-Jack     kubuntu.org is /still/ down? :/
09:08 raphink      Riddell: can you put the url of the agenda in the /topic for the
                   duration of the meeting please?
09:08 Riddell      people going for membership/maintainership please keep your wiki pages
                   up to date
09:08 Riddell      and show them to me before the techboard/community board meeting
09:09 sorush20     Riddell: well that is not very good at all , did you guys want me to
                   host for you for a few hours?
09:09 sorush20     lol
09:09 Riddell      keep a list of packages you've contributed to, Tonio's page is
                   excellent
09:09 raphink      sorush20: hehe
09:09 raphink      ok
09:09 raphink      :)
=== Hobbsee will check out tonio's page for some inspiration when she's more awake
09:09 sorush20     so with out an adgenda there really is nothing to talk about..
09:09 Riddell      ** Agenda at http://muse.19inch.net/~jr/tmp/KubuntuMeetings.html
09:09 raphink      we have a full agenda sorush20
09:09 Snake__      Sure there is, just call up what we can remeber
09:09 jpatrick     well it's not long before FeatureFreeze....
09:10 raphink      let's follow up with Tonio's Kubuntu default settings, shall we?
09:10 Snake__      Ahh Riddell 's on it :)
09:10 raphink      we have lots of things to discuss tonight
09:10 Riddell      raphink: go ahead
09:10 sorush20     is there anyway that ubuntu users can pay for the proprietory software
                   though ubuntu canonical ?
09:10 sorush20     (18:51:42) ompaul: sorush20, no, but it is an interesting idea
09:10 sorush20     (18:51:53) ompaul: what do you think it would cost
09:10 sorush20     (18:52:24) ompaul: mp3 is owned by a consortia of *nice people*
09:10 sorush20     (18:52:34) ompaul: that is only one of the codecs
09:10 sorush20     (18:52:37) Ivaldi left the room (quit: Read error: 110 (Connection
                   timed out)).
09:10 raphink      ok
09:10 sorush20     (18:52:50) ompaul: wmv - licence that from the doze people --- hmmm
09:10 sorush20     (18:52:56) ompaul: and so on
09:10 raphink      sorush20: please don't do that
09:10 seth         zoy
09:10 jpatrick     sorush20: ok, please don't do that
09:10 raphink      sorush20: we've got an agenda, please add your points after we've gone
                   through it
09:10 raphink      now
09:11 raphink      Tonio has been working quite hard on Kubuntu default settings lately
09:11 raphink      trying to work on every detail to make it usable out-of-the-box very
                   easily
09:11 raphink      he's given me a list of proposals and questions to ask tonight
09:11 raphink      since he can't make it for technical reasons
09:11 raphink      the first point is about double-click
09:11 raphink      all recent operating systems use double-click to open files and
                   folders
09:12 apachelogger KDE doesn't
09:12 raphink      this can be set in KDE very easily but default is still simple one
09:12 Snake__      Oh man...keep the single click
09:12 apachelogger yeah
09:12 Riddell      too big a change from KDE defaults
09:12 raphink      how many of you use simple click?
09:12 Riddell      we'd have the whole of KDE after us if we changed that
09:12 apachelogger I do
09:12 Psi-Jack     I use double-click myself.
=== Hobbsee uses double click
09:12 seth         <-- double
09:12 Snake__      I use single click.
09:12 incinerator  keep the single klick or use a setup wizard to ask the user upon first
                   startup....
09:12 Snake__      incinerator: Thats a idea.
09:12 jjesse       can't we ask the user
09:12 Riddell      no startup wizards!
=== Hobbsee thinks it would be worhtwhile to actually run the setup wizard by default on
first boot
09:12 incinerator  quite annoying krusader using double click and everything else single
                   click
09:13 Hobbsee      with a skip button!
09:13 sorush20     I think we have to make the user aware of the situation the first time
                   he or she logs into kubuntu, how about with an  animations.. ?
09:13 Psi-Jack     KDE itself, already has a Startup wizard.
09:13 incinerator  kde comes with a startup wizard....
09:13 raphink      incinerator: there is a setup wizzard existing, but it's quite hard to
                   tune in such a short time.
09:13 incinerator  i know
09:13 seth         if you guys haven't noticed, we patch *out* all startup wizards
09:13 seth         we don't want to ADD startup wizards
09:13 seth         :P
09:13 incinerator  then please keep the single click
09:13 jpatrick     SimplifyKDE kills the wizards and KTip things
09:13 Psi-Jack     seth: Yes. I know. Quite annoying if I say so myself.
09:13 Snake__      seth: start-up wizards are never that bad, when you can skip them.
09:13 Riddell      startup wizards (and tip of the day etc) go against simplicity
09:13 incinerator  it's easy to notice the changed behaviour....
09:13 seth         I would argue that good defaults >>> startup wizard
09:14 incinerator  Riddell: fair enough, I agree to that
09:14 Riddell      the whole point of kubuntu-default-dsettings is we pick decent
                   settings and go with them
09:14 raphink      yes
09:14 raphink      I agree with you Riddell
09:14 raphink      I don't want a wizard either
09:14 Psi-Jack     Riddell: THAT I can agree with too, however.
09:14 sorush20     how about having a button on konqueror or desktop toolbar to change
                   from single click to double and back/??
09:14 jpatrick     something sane
09:14 Riddell      the kde first run wizard has been removed upstream anyway, mostly
                   based on kubuntu as justification
=== wincide [n=WeReTheC@184.Red-81-34-220.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined
#ubuntu-meeting
09:14 incinerator  keep the single click then, it's not that the user won't notice
                   anyways....
09:14 raphink      the point though is that (K)Ubuntu is a distribution aimed to users
                   coming mostly from mac/windows
09:14 wincide      hi all
09:14 Snake__      Why go to double click though? Just out of curiosity?
09:14 raphink      and used to double click by default
09:14 incinerator  mac does use double click?
09:14 incinerator  bah
09:15 jpatrick     Snake__: takes twice as long
09:15 raphink      yes
09:15 incinerator  raphink: doesn't make it the right thing to do
09:15 apachelogger raphink: so loose a main thing of KDE identity for that?
09:15 raphink      all modern interfaces use double click by default except kde
09:15 incinerator  single click is way more intuitive and less a hassle for disabled
                   people....
09:15 Riddell      double click is confusing to people new to computers, I've seen that
                   lots
09:15 Psi-Jack     Snake__: So you don't have to hold CTRL single-click to highlight a
                   file.
09:15 apokryphos   single-click is the way to go I think -- most usability arguments tend
                   to side on that way
09:15 Riddell      (it also makes selection a lot harder of course)
09:15 sorush20     lets say you want to be able to find out the properties of a file when
                   you single click on it it opens it rather than just highlight it..
                   it doesnt seem like we get *that* many questions in #kubuntu on how to
09:15 Hobbsee      change it - so people are finding that they can either live with it,
                   or figure out how to change it themselves.
09:16 jpatrick     yes
09:16 seth         Hobbsee +1, I think it's really a moot point
09:16 Snake__      I've been around #kubuntu a while, and I havn't seen to much
                   complaining either
09:16 wincide      greetings for the plasma kicker.. it's very nice , i've installed that
                   with baghira :D
09:16 raphink      good point Hobbsee
09:16 Riddell      yep
09:16 Hobbsee      :D yay!
09:16 raphink      ok
09:16 raphink      shall we make a quick vote?
09:16 Psi-Jack     Sure. :)\
09:16 sorush20     raphink: yes how you going to make that/
09:16 Snake__      +1 to Single Click
09:17 raphink      I'm hearing points of view from different sides so just to be sure I'm
                   hearing more simple-click ones
09:17 jpatrick     I think it's settled
09:17 apachelogger yo
09:17 jjesse       +1 single click
09:17 Hobbsee      +1 single click
09:17 Riddell      no votes, but we can take a poll
09:17 apachelogger +1 single click
09:17 robotgeek    +1 single click
09:17 raphink      +1 double click
09:17 incinerator  +1 single click
=== allee single ++
09:17 jpatrick     Riddell: where?
=== apokryphos chuckles
09:17 Riddell      +1 single click
09:17 raphink      ok
09:17 Riddell      jpatrick: here :)
09:17 jpatrick     +1 single click
09:17 seth         +1 single click (just because it's the default, no rocking the boat)
09:17 wincide      double click ++
09:17 Snake__      Seems single click wins :)
09:17 Psi-Jack     I think it's unanymous.
09:17 raphink      there that's clear enough :)
09:17 Psi-Jack     sp?
09:17 jpatrick     single wins!
09:17 incinerator  2 nay, rest ayes
09:17 Hobbsee      good, next point
09:17 raphink      let's move to next point then
09:17 raphink      which is the fonts
09:18 sorush20     Psi-Jack: is there anyother way we could vote on a a website?
09:18 raphink      many people complain the default fonts are too big
09:18 incinerator  voting by irc bot?
09:18 jpatrick     ...or too small
09:18 Riddell      people also complain they are too small :)
09:18 sorush20     also shouldn't the vote be put though to all the kubuntu users?
09:18 raphink      jpatrick:
09:18 seth         that's one of the first things I change when I get a fresh Kubuntu
09:18 raphink      jpatrick: yes
09:18 Psi-Jack     sorush20: Heh, sure. If you got a site or something with even a sinple
                   voting boot. :p
09:18 Snake__      You can't blame that though, wouldn't that be their resolutions fault?
09:18 wincide      i have a laptop with 1280x800 and i've set the fons to 10
09:18 Riddell      the minimum font size in konqueror definatly needs changed from
                   current dapper (7)
09:18 raphink      tonio proposes to set the dpi to 100 and use either 8 or 9
09:18 robotgeek    is there any way to detect screen size, it's too big on my 12 inch
                   ibook, perfect on monitor
09:18 seth         I'm on 1680 x 1050, 100dpi and I use 8pt (10pt for window titles)
09:19 Psi-Jack     A font size of 12 is definately gargantuant.
09:19 raphink      are there people using 100 dpi and what do you think of such a size ?
09:19 Hobbsee      i was using 9 with 100 dpi and that worked preety well - 1024x768
09:19 jpatrick     I like mine at 9
09:19 Snake__      robotgeek: agreed....its to big on 800x600, but to small on higher
                   ones
09:19 incinerator  screen size detection can be tricky, and preferences differ
09:19 Riddell      we will never get font sizer exactly correct since it depends on
                   people's eyesight
09:19 incinerator  i'd second making the fonts a wee bit bigger, particularly on laptops
09:19 Snake__      Riddell: and their resolution...
09:19 luka74       my autodetected DPI is 145 - and fonts are HUGE
09:19 Psi-Jack     At 1280x1024, I use a font size of 8, average. 7 for things like the
                   taskbar.
09:19 Riddell      Snake__: exactly
09:19 sealne       and how far away they like their monitors
09:19 incinerator  if it's to big, you'll make it smaller, if it's to small you can't
                   read a thing, again, disabled....
09:20 luka74       I manually set DPI to 120 (or 100) to make it look nice
09:20 incinerator  ^vision impaired people
09:20 raphink      ok
09:20 Riddell      gnome sets the Xft font size to 96
09:20 sorush20     I think the font size is good enough really its easy enought to change
09:20 raphink      tonio proposes to set the dpi forced to 100  in kdmrc
09:20 Riddell      if we can find a way to do the same we could try that out
09:20 raphink      and set the fonts to 8 or 9
=== Hobbsee thinks that this again, like the single/double click, can be easily changed
in system settings to get it exactly right, and there are hardly any questions in
#kubuntu over it - but it would be nice to get it vaguely right for the first boot
09:20 Riddell      dpi rather, not font size
09:20 seth         Hobbsee, I've seen a lot more complaints about fonts than about
                   clicking
09:21 Riddell      Hobbsee: I mostly get complains about KDE and gnome being different
                   (even if you set the point sizes the same)
=== amu [n=amu@debian/developer/amu] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
09:21 Hobbsee      seth: ah, they must not be while i'm on then
09:21 raphink      seth: indeed, people complain a lot about fonts
09:21 raphink      and it seems the only good option is to force dpi=100
09:21 jpatrick     welcome amu
09:21 amu          moin
09:21 allee        DPI are a well defined.  We should get it right and let people use
                   kcontrol center to change it
09:21 Hobbsee      very true - same with xfce
=== Tm_T [i=tm_travo@xob.kapsi.fi] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
09:21 luka74       Hobbsee: system settings is not good enough - as many aps have own
                   font setting
09:21 allee        it is pt size of fonts not dpi  ;)
09:21 Psi-Jack     Hmmm.
09:21 sorush20     are you guys voting?
09:21 sorush20     +1 keep the font size
                   raphink, dpi right now is very hard to change (have to edit kdmrc with
09:21 seth         an arcane option), so I am in favor of bumping to 100 dpi by default,
                   and then letting font sizes do the rest
09:21 Riddell      I don't want the X server DPI set, that's messing with too much stuff,
                   we should try setting the Xft DPI so we match gnome
09:21 luka74       lots of manual config is required and not "it-looks-good-by-default"
                   (tm) Kubuntu
09:21 incinerator  Riddell +1
09:22 raphink      ok
09:22 raphink      let's vote
09:22 raphink      who is for changing the dpi to 100 by default in kdmrc ?
09:22 seth         hang on
09:22 Riddell      raphink: wait
09:22 allee        seth: don't touch kdmrc use kontrolcenter
09:22 raphink      Riddell: ok
09:22 Riddell      firstly, it's 96 not 100 that gnome uses
09:22 seth         what is the difference between setting the Xft DPI and the X server
                   DPI
09:22 Riddell      so we should stick to that
09:22 atie         please don't forget gnome uses 96dpi, many people want to match size
                   between kde and gnome.
09:22 allee        -dpi --
09:22 Psi-Jack     Riddell: Why stick to that?
09:23 Riddell      Psi-Jack: because part of the problem is that gnome and kde font sizes
                   are different
09:23 Riddell      including firefox
09:23 Psi-Jack     Hmmm.
09:23 Psi-Jack     That actually is a very good point. VERY good.
09:23 Hobbsee      if we could get them to be the same, that's probably worth doing
09:23 Riddell      so people set the point sizes the same but they end up with different
                   fonts
09:23 Snake__      Why are we matching ourselves to gnome? Let's lead, not follow....find
                   what looks good and use it.
09:23 allee        atie: that KDE gets it right compared to windows and gnome is a big
                   plus for KDE
09:23 raphink      most people don't want to consider that they have some apps from the
                   gnome world and some from the kde one
=== allee nods to Snake__
09:23 Snake__      I havn't used gnome, so I dont know how the fonts look, but if they
                   look right, then use it.
09:23 Riddell      and when they log into the other desktop environment the sizes are
                   wrong again
09:24 allee        raphink: then set gnome dpi to the right value when in a KDE session
09:24 Riddell      allee: KDE may get it right but the monitors may not :)
09:24 raphink      I'm in favor of following what GNOME has
09:24 atie         allee, kde is in advance to follow X setting, but in case need to
                   match with gnome
09:24 Riddell      so we need to find out how to set hte Xft DPI size and try that
09:24 Riddell      which is following what gnome has
=== robotgeek thinks wrong font sizes in Gnome is not kubuntu's problem?
09:24 allee        Riddell: xorg driver fault.
09:24 Psi-Jack     Yep. Even Firefox offers 72dpi and 92dpi
09:24 wincide      i have to leave
09:24 Psi-Jack     96 even
09:24 wincide      see you :D
09:24 raphink      bye wincide
09:25 raphink      ok
09:25 raphink      let's try to see what options we have
09:25 allee        Riddell: DisplaySize x-in-mm y-in-mm  in Monitor section # if
                   autodetection of driver fails
09:25 Riddell      robotgeek: everyone gets it wrong, it's a case of getting it
                   consistent so once it's set it works everywhere
09:25 raphink      a) keep it as it is
09:25 Tm_T         sorry I'm late (prolly doesn't matter much)
09:25 raphink      b) set the dpi to fit with gnome's settings
09:25 sorush20     I think font size isn't very important
09:25 Psi-Jack     Shoot, X standards, used 72dpi and 100dpi, but 100dpi is actually
                   non-standard /everywhere/ else.
09:25 Snake__      Riddell: +1
09:25 raphink      c) set our own dpi and fonts
09:25 robotgeek    Riddell: okay
09:25 Riddell      Psi-Jack: interesting
09:25 Psi-Jack     Riddell: Yes. exactly. ;)
09:26 allee        Psi-Jack: that are bitmap fonts relicts
09:26 sorush20     howabout making  an iRC client that allows fast voting system ?
09:26 Snake__      sorush20: .....
09:26 Riddell      any volunteers for investigating how to change the xft DPI?
09:26 seth         sorush20, please *stop*
09:26 raphink      sorush20: yeah, do that for next meeting
09:26 Riddell      I volunteer tonio to do it :)
09:26 apachelogger hehe
09:26 atie         Psi-Jack, 75 dpi and 100 dpi
09:26 Snake__      Heh
09:26 Hobbsee      hehe
09:26 raphink      Tonio is already volunteer for it
09:27 sorush20     I don't know any programing but will learn before I idie..
09:27 Riddell      raphink: yeah, but this goes beyond setting stuff and involves working
                   out how to talk to xft
09:27 Riddell      which may be trivial, or may not, I've no idea
09:27 incinerator  wiki's up again byraway
09:27 raphink      yes Riddell
09:27 robotgeek    i have done something similiar before, so i'm game
09:27 Snake__      So shall we vote?
09:27 atie         Riddell, that's in .Xdefaults
09:27 Riddell      robotgeek: great :)  it means looking through gnome-settings-daemon to
                   see how it does it
09:27 Snake__      Or did we and I missed it? :)
09:27 sorush20     Snake__: yes
09:27 raphink      Snake__: yes let's vote
09:27 raphink      so here are the choices I see
09:27 incinerator  +1 Ridell's xft
09:28 raphink      a) keep the current settings
09:28 Snake__      B I guess.
09:28 Psi-Jack     What are the deciding factors?
09:28 allee        I'll offer to write a Wiki about dpi and fonts size.
09:28 Riddell      +1 b) where b means working out how to set xft's DPI
09:28 raphink      b) modify the dpi to fit with gnome's settings
09:28 raphink      c) setting our own dpi
09:28 Snake__      +1 b) modify the dpi to fit with gnome's settings
09:28 raphink      any other option ?
09:28 seth         +1 xft, sounds the most reasonable
09:28 incinerator  +1 b)
09:28 sorush20     I think its trivial
09:28 apachelogger +1 b)
09:28 Psi-Jack     http://muse.19inch.net/~jr/tmp/KubuntuMeetings.html
09:28 raphink      +1 b too
09:28 Psi-Jack     Ack.
09:28 Tm_T         +1 b
09:29 Psi-Jack     +1 b  here. Because KDE uses fontconfig explicitely.
09:29 amu          c. ...  who cares about others env :)
09:29 Psi-Jack     It's only natural to use fontconfig FULLY.
09:29 Hobbsee      +1 b
09:29 raphink      ok
09:29 luka74       +1 b
09:29 allee        I'm confused:  2 b)
09:29 jpatrick     +1 c
09:29 allee        [21:28]  <Riddell> +1 b) where b means working out how to set xft's
                   DPI
=== jjesse [n=jjesse@mail.ftpb.com] has left #ubuntu-meeting []
09:29 Snake__      amu: Thats what I said, but there is a good point when they say going
                   from Gnome to KDE and back
09:29 Riddell      sorush20 and robotgeek talk to tonio about getting that done
09:29 raphink      so the majority is b = using GNOME's default = 96dpi, using xft
09:29 allee        21:28]  <Snake__> +1 b) modify the dpi to fit with gnome's settings
09:29 incinerator  ack
09:29 raphink      all right
09:30 raphink      I'm sorry I have so many of Tonio's points to bring here
09:30 raphink      and we still have a lot to go on the agenda
09:30 amu          Snake__: doesnt matter, we are an kubuntu desktop, eveyone should use
                   KDE allps
09:30 incinerator  go ahead then
=== mvo [n=egon@pD951DF11.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
09:30 amu          allps/apps
09:30 incinerator  amu: bah
09:30 raphink      but this is a work that has to be done before the 23rd
09:30 raphink      next point is with tabs
09:30 Snake__      amu: thats limiting ourselves. Thats not something I feel like doing
09:30 incinerator  if you do a qt version of firefox, ok
09:30 raphink      tabs in konversation first, that are in the bottom by default
09:30 raphink      although in all other apps, they are on the top
09:30 incinerator  as in ksirc
09:30 Snake__      raphink: is this really a problem?
09:30 Snake__      .....
09:30 amu          Snake__: is there something what kde not have, gnome have?
09:30 incinerator  ksirc has them on the bottom
09:31 incinerator  no
09:31 Psi-Jack     Tabs?
09:31 raphink      Snake__: I don't think so, but Tonio does
=== Snake__ sighs
09:31 raphink      so to make it quick
09:31 Tm_T         I like to have tabs in bottom when imputline is on the bottom too
09:31 Riddell      kubuntu-default-settings changes the konsole default from bottom to
                   top (to match konqueror)
09:31 raphink      a) keep it to the bottom
09:31 seth         Tm_T ++++++
09:31 raphink      b) change it to the top
09:31 Hobbsee      i agree with Tm_T
09:31 apachelogger +1 a)
09:31 Snake__      +1 A
09:31 jpatrick     +1 a
09:31 seth         input box + tabs = nice easy area to do all the work in
09:31 Hobbsee      +25 A!
09:31 incinerator  unified key shortcuts to navigate the tabes would be much more
                   important....
09:31 Tm_T         +1 a
09:31 seth         +1 a
09:31 Riddell      rationale for bottom is as Tm_T says
09:31 robotgeek    +1 a
09:31 raphink      a
09:31 incinerator  c) unchanged
09:31 amu          b
09:31 raphink      ok
09:32 Psi-Jack     +1 a definately.
09:32 allee        + b keep at top
09:32 raphink      a in majority :)
09:32 seth         while we're on tabs
09:32 raphink      without a doubt
09:32 Psi-Jack     I move Konsole's tab to the bottom everytime, myself. :)
09:32 Tm_T         Hobbsee: you cheater
09:32 seth         let's talk about Kopete's tabs real fast
09:32 Hobbsee      hehe
09:32 seth         Kopete should mimic Konversation's tab shortcuts
09:32 raphink      yes seth that was my next point
09:32 seth         we need sane defaults for those
09:32 seth         ah, okay :)
09:32 Riddell      kopete has tabs?
09:32 Snake__      Ahh yes
=== seth defers to you
09:32 raphink      kopete should have tabs by default
09:32 Tm_T         Riddell: yes!
09:32 Psi-Jack     Browser tabs, and application tabs I consider two different things.
09:32 jpatrick     Riddell: yes
09:32 robotgeek    raphink: +1
09:32 Hobbsee      +1 Riddell
09:32 Psi-Jack     Riddell: yes. :)
09:32 jpatrick     multiple chats
09:32 raphink      this is necessary
09:32 raphink      we need that
09:32 robotgeek    it's a big pain
09:32 Tm_T         +1 tabs
09:32 raphink      people begin to use gaim to get tabs
09:33 raphink      because they don't know they get tabs in kopete
09:33 raphink      tonio wants to put tabs by default in kopete
09:33 Snake__      I use my tabs, its should be default
09:33 seth         ALT + {Left, Right} should be used to switch b/t tabs in Kopete, just
                   like Konversation
09:33 raphink      putting the "all conversations in one window" option on by default
09:33 jpatrick     read the handbook!
09:33 robotgeek    it's 3 mouslicks away, and i did not find anything to set tabs on
                   (rightaway)
09:33 raphink      a) keep it in different windows
09:33 seth         I actually have a bug open for this on bugs.kde.org
09:33 atie         Xft.dpi:96 is answer.
09:33 raphink      b) use tabs by default in kopete
09:33 atie         I'd like to add one more point font size for user and root shoud be
                   same.
09:33 Snake__      raphink: I would put the "All Conversations from same account" as
                   default
09:33 raphink      :)
09:33 atie         s/shoud/should
09:34 raphink      ok then
09:34 raphink      here are the choices
09:34 Riddell      atie: they are by default
09:34 Tm_T         Snake__: yes, that's best
09:34 robotgeek    +1 b, please
09:34 raphink      a) keep conversations in different windows
09:34 raphink      b) gather all the conversations in one window with tabs
09:34 raphink      c) gather all conversatiosn from one account in one window with tabs
09:34 sorush20     yes tabs by default is a good idea
09:34 raphink      let's vote
09:34 jpatrick     +1 b
09:34 Snake__      +1 C
09:34 seth         +1 B
09:34 atie         Riddell, I am sorry, I'm watching wiki
09:34 Tm_T         +1 c
09:34 seth         C is confusing for new users
09:34 Hobbsee      +1 b
09:34 luka74       +1 b
09:34 robotgeek    +1 b
09:34 raphink      +b
09:34 incinerator  +1 b
09:34 Tm_T         (to keep irc separate)
09:34 seth         they don't want to know about their different "accounts"
09:35 Riddell      +1 b (although I haven't tried it so may change my mind)
09:35 Psi-Jack     +1 b
09:35 Hobbsee      cant see why you'd bother with c - all or nothing - that's why they
                   dont have a separate client for each service
09:35 allee        b) ++
09:35 sorush20     +1 b
09:35 raphink      any more votes?
09:35 sorush20     does my vote count?
09:35 raphink      ok
09:35 Riddell      sorush20: sure
09:35 raphink      b in majority :)
09:35 Riddell      but it's not a vote, just a poll
09:35 raphink      that's a great enhancement imo :)
09:35 Tm_T         b is fine
09:35 raphink      sure sorush20
09:35 Riddell      no binding decisions are made
09:35 raphink      let's move on again
09:35 Riddell      (I like to be able to back out :)
09:35 Psi-Jack     I say B, because, people are looking for tabbed IM, already. It's good
                   to show them Kopete has it. :)
09:35 raphink      let's move on to .... moodin!
09:35 jpatrick     like tab browsering
09:35 Snake__      Moodin?
09:36 raphink      tonio proposes to get moodin in main
09:36 jpatrick     my package!!
09:36 Hobbsee      what's moodlin?
09:36 Riddell      poke pitti!
09:36 Psi-Jack     moodin?
09:36 robotgeek    moodin is great!
09:36 Snake__      Someone update me on moodin?
09:36 Snake__      lol
09:36 raphink      and get the nice kubuntu splash by default
09:36 jpatrick     ksplash-engine-moodin
09:36 raphink      moodin is a ksplash engine
09:36 jpatrick     and I find a nice theme for it
09:36 Riddell      it's been in main inclusion review for over a month
09:36 Psi-Jack     Yes. I'm using moodin for splash, with the hand-print. :)
09:36 Psi-Jack     It's pretty spiffy.
09:36 raphink      that allows to have very nice smooth ksplash
09:36 Snake__      Hmm
09:36 raphink      Riddell: ok
09:36 Snake__      Why not add it?
09:36 Tm_T         ok
09:36 Hobbsee      any prettier ksplash than the one we has sounds good!
09:36 Hobbsee      *has/have
09:36 raphink      Riddell: does it have a chance to be in in a week?
09:36 robotgeek    Hobbsee: a lot prettier
09:37 Riddell      raphink: damn well better be
09:37 raphink      so I guess this is unanimity for moodin
09:37 raphink      Riddell: ok :)
09:37 incinerator  i'd just wish i could turn off kde splash completetly
09:37 Psi-Jack     Moodin is good, and all. HOWEVER:
09:37 raphink      do you all know what the kubuntu moodin theme is ?
=== raphink goes to get a screenshot of it
=== robotgeek is using it
=== Tm_T loves screenshots
09:37 Psi-Jack     If kubuntu is going to use moodin by default for splash, it should be
                   made to look good, and professional in quality, IMHO>

09:38 Tm_T         Psi-Jack: true
09:38 robotgeek    Psi-Jack: yes, there are great themes for it
09:38 Psi-Jack     robotgeek: I mean Kubuntu-specific. :)
09:38 pitti        what's up?
09:38 raphink      jpatrick: can you get it please?
09:38 Psi-Jack     Something that shows Kubuntu off.
09:38 raphink      oh I got it
09:38 jpatrick     raphink: IU am
09:38 Snake__      Well why not add it. Throw it in, it won't hurt :)
09:38 raphink      ok
09:38 incinerator  link pls
09:38 Riddell      pitti: people are getting frustrated at ksplash-moodin not being in
                   main yet is all
09:38 raphink      this is the theme we want :
                   http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=29426
09:38 sorush20     yes moodin is infomative and personal cause it sys your user name..

09:38 jjesse       sorry i had to leave
09:38 incinerator  look nice
09:39 incinerator  ^looks nice
09:39 Riddell      pitti: and it could do with being done soon so we can get our artwork
                   sorted out
09:39 raphink      please have a look at the link
09:39 jpatrick     thanks to me

09:39 raphink      jpatrick: yep :)
=== jpatrick got author to change
09:39 Snake__      Looks good to me
09:39 Tm_T         raphink: oh, lot better than breezy splash!
09:39 Snake__      Thats pretty
09:39 robotgeek    raphink: yep, that;s the one i am using
09:39 Psi-Jack     BRB. Need to blend me a Frappuccino real quick.

09:39 Snake__      Ill vote that in
09:39 sorush20     how about adding 3d effect to moodi? would be very cool
09:39 raphink      everyone agree on trying to get this used by default?
09:39 pitti        Riddell: oh, I wasn't awaere that you need it, let alone that it's
                   urgent
09:39 Tm_T         apacheLAGger: snowy, son?
09:39 Snake__      raphink: I do
09:40 Riddell      raphink: that theme is great but canonical are getting some
                   professional artwork done so we may have to combine the two
09:40 raphink      sorush20: let's wait for dapper+1 for Xgl by default ;)
09:40 jpatrick     matching KDM!! http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=29331
09:40 pitti        Riddell: I planned a couple of main inclusion reports tomorrow morning
                   anyway
09:40 Psi-Jack     D'oh! I forgot to turn the coffee maker on. :/
09:40 Tm_T         raphink: +999 to it =)
09:40 raphink      Riddell: ok
09:40 Tm_T         jpatrick: that in too!
09:40 raphink      great :)
09:40 Psi-Jack     raphink: I think it should be made available default, ONLY IF, Kubuntu
                   has a customized theme for it.
09:40 raphink      let's move on again to an app that I think is not so famous yet ...
                   knemo
09:40 sorush20     raphink: have you voted yet .. I vote for it to be default ..
09:40 apacheLAGger Tm_T: always
09:40 Riddell      pitti: it's not super urgent, but it does need to be done before
                   artwork freeze

09:41 Riddell      ogra: yep
09:41 raphink      sorry got too fast
09:41 raphink      hehe
09:41 pitti        Riddell, jpatrick: alright, will do tomorrow morning
09:41 Riddell      excellent :)
09:42 jpatrick     great :)
09:42 raphink      sorush20: I've considered this was a global acceptation without anyone
                   complaining, no need for a poll
09:42 raphink      ok
09:42 raphink      let's move
09:42 raphink      to knemo
09:42 Snake__      raphink: Perhaps look into that KDM as well
09:42 jpatrick     those themes are professional
09:42 Riddell      pitti: Keep is the other package we'd love to have in soonish, but I
                   don't want to take up all your main review time :)
09:42 raphink      for the ones who do not know knemo
09:42 raphink      this is a small applet for kicker
09:42 raphink      that monitors your network interfaces
09:42 Psi-Jack     Heh.. I don't use really ANY kicker applets.
09:43 raphink      you give it the name of the interface, as listed in ifconfig, and it
                   puts a nice small icon in the bar
09:43 raphink      to monitor the traffice, IP, etc.
09:43 Snake__      Arn't there enough karambas for this?
09:43 Tm_T         raphink: aye, I installed it once, had _big_ problems when trying to
                   remove it
09:43 Tm_T         raphink: prolly fixed though =)
09:43 apachelogger Snake__: quite different
09:43 raphink      knemo looks quite a lot like the network monitory for windows
09:43 Hobbsee      raphink: that'd be cool, and not everyone wants to run karamba
09:43 Snake__      Ohhhh
                   And as a matter, I would vote to keep kicker applets down to a
09:43 Psi-Jack     minimum. We do not want that kicker being overflooded with potentially
                   useless applets.
09:43 raphink      a blinking icon in the taskbar
=== robotgeek is still stuck with his wireless up down scripts, might be good for some
people
=== Hobbsee thinks there's a deficiency in wireless configuration tools that work, as
well - this needs fixing
09:44 raphink      Hobbsee: exactly
09:44 luka74       I would not introduce knemo since knetworkmanager will come sooner
                   than later
09:44 incinerator  Hobsee +1
09:44 Riddell      related to this is that network manager won't get into dapper (gnome
                   or KDE)
09:44 Snake__      Hobbsee: +111
09:44 luka74       knemo is just reporting, while knetworkmanager alows some rela actions
09:44 apachelogger http://rosenberg.homelinux.net/wordpress/wp-content/knemo.png
09:44 Hobbsee      can we get some packages for knetworkmanager please???  *shows puppy
                   dog eyes at Riddell* - just stick them on your server unofficially?
09:44 Riddell      but I expect network manager to be in for dapper + 1
09:44 raphink      luka74: right, so far
09:45 Riddell      Hobbsee: not from me, it needs 3 different things packaged
09:45 Riddell      problems with knemo are 1) yet another kicker applet
09:45 Riddell      and 1) last time I tried it took a lot of manual setup
09:45 Snake__      Riddell: As far as I can see, you can't have enough of those :)
09:45 Riddell      err, that was 2) :)
09:45 raphink      hehe
09:45 Psi-Jack     What is the poposition for knemo? To include it in kubuntu-desktop to
                   pull it in, or make it applied as a kicker applet default?
09:45 Hobbsee      hehe - Riddell cant count
09:45 Tm_T         Riddell: what's third 1) ?
09:46 Snake__      Psi-Jack: I think to add it
09:46 Riddell      hay, I'm in my cupboard here, don't even have a desk to type on
09:46 raphink      Psi-Jack: Tonio's proposition is to get it in main to include it by
                   default
09:46 luka74       I am using it currently (testing) and I do not see much value (just
                   using some kicker real estate)
09:46 allee        knemo has custom menues, and they can be set by us
09:46 Psi-Jack     Snake__: To which ? There's two things I just said, it could be added
                   to. :p
09:46 raphink      Tonio provided a knemorc file to set it right by default
09:46 Tm_T         Riddell: atleast you do have a cupboard ;)
09:46 raphink      that works
09:46 Snake__      Psi-Jack: Ah hehe, to kubuntu-desktop...I dont want it on my kicker by
                   default
09:46 raphink      ok
09:46 Riddell      raphink: any idea if tonio managed to get it working out the box?
09:46 Psi-Jack     raphink: Include it for kubuntu-desktop? Hmmm.. That /might/ not be so
                   bad.
09:47 Snake__      I would like to have it ACESSIBLE and INCLUDED but not on kicker by
                   default
09:47 incinerator  i think it has some benefits for new users, particularly diagnosis
                   when net's not working
09:47 Hobbsee      there's already an applet for network settings - rather weird though
09:47 raphink      Riddell: yes he did from what he told me
09:47 Psi-Jack     I'm going to install knemo, right now.
09:47 incinerator  as an intermediate solution until knetworkmanager gets into main, good
                   idea
09:47 raphink      Riddell: and sent you the knemorc
09:47 Tm_T         I'd say no knemo for default
09:47 allee        raphink: sent to kubunt-devel
09:47 Riddell      raphink: he sent me a load of things but then said to wait because he
                   was working on something
09:48 Riddell      if we get it working out the box, we then need a volunteer for the
                   main inclusion report
09:48 Hobbsee      well, can we make knemo easy enough to add, yet not have it there
                   running by default?
09:48 raphink      Riddell: as part of the latest kubuntu-default-settings he sent was
                   the knemorc that works
09:48 jpatrick     Riddell: I have experience in that field
09:48 robotgeek    raphink: it reads from /etc/network/interfaces ?
09:48 raphink      sure Hobbsee taht's an option
09:48 Psi-Jack     knemo is a kicker applet, right?
09:48 Riddell      justification for knemo is that ubuntu gnome does have a similar
                   applet
09:48 Snake__      Hobbsee: If you right click kicker, under add applet, couldn't we just
                   have it inthere?
09:48 raphink      robotgeek: I think it greps ifconfig
09:48 apachelogger Psi-Jack:
                   http://rosenberg.homelinux.net/wordpress/wp-content/knemo.png
09:48 Snake__      if people want it
09:48 Tm_T         Hobbsee: +1 for that
09:48 raphink      Psi-Jack: yes
09:49 Psi-Jack     apachelogger: I'm looking at that now, and looking at my applet list,
                   after just installing it.
09:49 raphink      ok
09:49 Snake__      Like the public file server, or quick launch?
09:49 raphink      sooo
09:49 raphink      here is what I propose
09:49 raphink      a) don't do anything with knemo
09:49 raphink      b) set knemo in kubuntu-default-settings nicely and use it by default
09:49 raphink      c) set knemo in kubuntu-default-settings nicely and don't use it by
                   default
09:49 Snake__      +1 C
09:49 incinerator  +1 c
09:49 raphink      poll opened :)

09:50 Tm_T         aye
09:50 raphink      hehe
09:50 robotgeek    buzzer beater
09:51 raphink      I have to count for this one
09:51 raphink      we have a majority of c) set knemo in kubuntu-default-settings nicely
                   and don't use it by default
09:51 raphink      so ok
09:51 Snake__      Woot
09:51 raphink      b) and c) have the same requirements anyway
09:51 jpatrick     https://wiki.kubuntu.org/MainInclusionReportKNemo
09:51 raphink      which is to get knemo in main + set it in kubuntu-default-settings
09:51 raphink      then the difference is just in a dependency
09:51 Psi-Jack     raphink: BTW, I have some things I don't think are in the agenda, that
                   I'd like to discuss more towards the closing.
09:51 raphink      thanks jpatrick
09:52 jpatrick     no problem
09:52 raphink      Psi-Jack: we'll discuss them in the end of the talk ok?
09:52 raphink      the _last_ of TOnio's point
09:52 Psi-Jack     raphink: That's kinda what I wanted. Yes. Thanks. ;)
09:52 raphink      then I'll let someone else talk for a bit
09:52 Riddell      "The program works with no configuration needed" yet to be proven :)
09:52 raphink      the last point is still about the fonts
09:52 raphink      on the desktop
09:52 jpatrick     whoops /me fixes
09:52 raphink      tonio would like to go back to the way fonts where in hoary on the
                   desktop
09:53 raphink      that is : white with black around them
09:53 raphink      as they are now, it's impossible to use bright wallpapers
09:53 raphink      without setting the fonts
09:53 Tm_T         ok
                   Ah crap, I have something I would like to bring up, if there is time
09:53 Snake__      left, I didn't make it to the agenda either...its nothing big, but if
                   we can fit them in
09:53 raphink      because they're white by default
=== Tm_T have only grey text in desktop
=== Hobbsee examines her fonts carefully...oh i see
09:53 raphink      it's easy to have they white with a bit of black around them
09:53 Riddell      Snake__: yes, at the end
09:53 Riddell      raphink: that's the kde default I think
09:54 Snake__      raphink: How about like the taskbar, when its set to transparent font?
09:54 raphink      + the fonts get dark when selected, so hard to see on a dark desktop
                   either
09:54 jpatrick     (done)
09:54 raphink      Riddell: yes, and windows and mac os too
=== robotgeek notices that he has a problem, +1 raphink
09:54 Riddell      so lets do that then
09:54 raphink      ok
09:54 Hobbsee      Snake__: and Psi-Jack: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kubuntu/Meetings is
                   back up, so why not add your points there for the end of the meeting?
09:54 raphink      votes ?
09:54 Snake__      Choices?
09:54 Snake__      :)
09:54 raphink      or do everyone agree on getting back to this default?
09:54 apachelogger yup
09:55 Riddell      poll a) with border (KDE, hoary)  b) with shodow (breezy)
09:55 luka74       +1 a
09:55 Snake__      A
09:55 sorush20     how about giving the desktop fonts some intelegence so that it can
                   decide on thresholds of colour and set it self accordingly... ?

                   Hobbsee: Mainly, because I'm trying to keep up with the meeting
09:55 Psi-Jack     itself. And, my points, may be covered before the meeting is up or
                   not. I don't know for certain. ;)
09:55 robotgeek    sorush20: that's a nice idea, but we are out of time
09:55 raphink      sorush20: wait for KDE 4 for such things ;)
09:56 raphink      ok
09:56 jpatrick     and other goodies
09:56 Hobbsee      nyah, lets just have a 2 hour meeting and be done with it :P
09:56 raphink      that was it for Tonio's point
09:56 Snake__      I'll brb while I add stuff to the agenda (I hope that its not just a
                   bug on my desktop...I havn't consulted anyone else..)
09:56 raphink      an hour on the points of someone who is not here ;)
09:56 Riddell      any other default settings suggestions?
09:56 jpatrick     freeflying is sleeping now...
09:56 raphink      Riddell: that's about it for what tonio told me on the phone :)
09:56 luka74       raphink: can I ask now one related to default kubuntu-desktop's? (not
                   on agenda) or wait until end?
09:56 Riddell      luka74: go
09:57 luka74       kpowersave vs. klaptop
09:57 Riddell      luka74: yes
09:57 Tm_T         Riddell: all default fonts are moved from bitstream to dejavu ?
09:57 Riddell      luka74: kpowersave uses a bunch of clever scripts
09:57 Snake__      I would like to ask something about the kubuntu desktop as well...if I
                   may speak after this
09:57 sorush20     add recent documents opened to the kmenu by default and add the recent
                   applications by default to the kmenu
09:57 Riddell      luka74: but ubuntu already has a better bunch of scripts and works
                   through hal
09:57 luka74       I used kpowersave (Suse default) for a month and looks good (at least
                   for hibernate)
09:57 Riddell      luka74: so I (or someone) needs to work out how to get kpowersave to
                   just use hal + ubuntu scripts rather than the ones it comes with
09:57 apachelogger yeah kpowersave still has some advantages
09:58 Riddell      but I don't want to use kpowersave with it's default scripts since
                   then we end up with a bunch of different bugs from ubuntu
09:58 luka74       Riddell: OK, makes sense - maybe for Dapper+!
09:58 luka74       Dapper+1
09:58 Snake__      Alright, is this just me, or does anyone else'
09:58 Snake__      s icons on their desktop get moved around on boot up
09:58 Riddell      well if someone can change the scripts fast enough it could go into
                   dapper
09:59 Riddell      Snake__: not me
09:59 Tm_T         Snake__: pre- 3.5 bug
09:59 raphink      Snake__: that is not a feature
09:59 jpatrick     we have one week
09:59 raphink      Snake__: we're discussing features :)
09:59 apachelogger Tm_T: actually I think it's pre-3.5.1
09:59 raphink      jpatrick: +1
09:59 Snake__      raphink: :) good point, thanks
=== Snake__ shuts up
09:59 Snake__      :)
09:59 Psi-Jack     Okay, I'm back with my frappuccino. :)
09:59 Riddell      jpatrick: feature freeze?
09:59 Tm_T         apachelogger: might be =)
09:59 jpatrick     Riddell: yes
09:59 raphink      ok
09:59 luka74       Riddell: I can look quickly into this, but I do not promise anything
                   (my first hacking with deb packages)
10:00 Snake__      Tm_T: I think hes right, because im on 3.5.1 and it still does it
10:00 Riddell      luka74: it's the scripts in /usr/lib/powersave rather than the deb
                   that need changed
10:00 raphink      let's get to _second_ main point of the agenda lol
10:00 Tm_T         Snake__: I don't know, I dont have any icons in desktop
10:00 Riddell      anyone know who Nirvana is?
10:00 apachelogger Snake__: maybe it's another bug you're talking about, coz aseigo fixed
                   that some time ago
10:00 raphink      allee: do you want to talk about dpi more ?
10:00 luka74       OK, I will look into scripts and then ask somebody else to package if
                   I manage to fix something
10:00 apachelogger Riddell: a band
10:00 raphink      is nirvana around?
10:01 jpatrick     Riddell: big poster at the forums (Not here)
10:01 jpatrick     aprofl
10:01 raphink      apachelogger: that would be an answer to "was"
10:01 Riddell      I don't understand what his agenda item is
10:01 apachelogger ah, right ;-)
10:01 apachelogger sry
10:01 raphink      jpatrick: yeah and the automatix guy iirc
10:01 allee        raphink: not yet.  Maybe next meeting.  When I created a sort of About
                   or HOWTO
10:01 raphink      ok good
10:01 jpatrick     apachelogger: rofl
10:01 raphink      so let's go for freeflying's point ?
10:01 Hobbsee      luka74: ping me if you need some help with packaging and i'll try to
                   help :)
10:01 jpatrick     raphink: he is sleeping
10:02 luka74       Hobbsee: will do
10:02 raphink      he's not around but other people have given their opinion
10:02 raphink      jpatrick: do you want to express yourself on it
10:02 raphink      ?
10:02 jpatrick     I don't know really
10:02 jpatrick     let's skip and keep for next meeting?
10:02 raphink      ok
10:02 Riddell      so index-search project?
10:02 raphink      sure
10:02 sorush20     raphink: what is the second point on the adgenda
=== uniq [n=frode@213.184.199.55] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
10:02 raphink      then it gets back to me
10:02 jpatrick     luka74: or any of the MOTU KDE
10:03 raphink      pipitas: are you still there?
10:03 jpatrick     klik devs?
=== bfree is Niall Walsh (klik)
10:03 Riddell      hi bfree, thanks for coming
10:03 raphink      ok pipitas is not around it seems
10:03 raphink      oh bfree you're here :)
10:03 raphink      ok good
10:03 Riddell      raphink: where are the klik packages at?
10:03 raphink      thanks for being here bfree :)
10:03 raphink      bfree: do you want to introduce klik to use ?
10:04 apachelogger I pinged pipitas an hour before the meeting, no anwser
10:04 raphink      Riddell: I got the fuse ones in NEW today, that's the first step
10:04 Riddell      raphink: oh, wow, didn't know that
10:04 raphink      bfree: do you want to introduce klik for people who do not know it ?
10:04 bfree        raphink: what about fusecram and fuseiso?
10:04 raphink      bfree: packaged them today and got them in NEW
10:04 Snake__      SO what is klik
10:04 raphink      ;)
10:04 raphink      that was my work this morning when I woke up ;)
10:05 ogra         Riddell, oh you want to switch from deb to autopackage ?
10:05 pipitas      raphink: I'm back now
10:05 Riddell      ogra: no no :)
10:05 ogra         heh
                   klik.atekon.de ... a web based software installer which allows you to
10:05 bfree        fetch deb packages extract and rework them into a portable filesystem
                   image
10:05 raphink      ok I'll introduce the subject then :)
10:05 Riddell      ogra: but if we can have klik as a safe option for people, that's
                   great
10:05 apachelogger pipitas: we need a introduction what klik is and what it does
10:05 raphink      here is the idea
10:05 raphink      thanks bfree :)
10:05 ogra         Riddell, did you think about reworking gdebi instead ?
10:05 raphink      basically the idea is
10:06 Riddell      ogra: that's separate (yes we have)
10:06 raphink      many users always want to test new apps
10:06 raphink      without having to install dapper or a dapper chroot
10:06 Hobbsee      what does klik do about dependancies?  does it go to apt to get them?
10:06 jpatrick     Hobbsee: it's site
10:06 apachelogger Hobbsee: it includes everyting
10:06 raphink      and backports are not the easiest thing to keep up-to-date and in good
                   shape
10:06 Psi-Jack     Yikes.
10:06 bfree        it uses apt on the server to calculate the required dependencies
10:06 Hobbsee      right - must be huge files then
10:06 apachelogger Hobbsee: or at least the stuff any distro might not have
10:06 Snake__      So, we just download the most up to date packaged we would want?
10:06 Hobbsee      gotcha
10:07 raphink      klik generates cmg packages that contain most required dependencies
                   for the app
10:07 Psi-Jack     What what are we proposing about klik?
10:07 Riddell      so the koffice klik file includes the whole of koffice, kdelibs, qt,
                   libstdc++ and all dependencies.  how big is that?
10:07 atie         bfree, curious, does klik still uses fstab to keep temp fs?
10:07 bfree        atie: that is where fuse comes in :-)
10:07 apachelogger Riddell: well, at this point ... not libstdc++, not qt and probably
                   also not kdelibs
                   klik puts executable binaries and direct dependency libraries into its
10:07 pipitas      own self-containing filesystem hierarchy, compresses them into a file
                   system image and uses a wrapper to mount that filesystem and run it
10:08 ogra         exactly ... thats what autopackage does
10:08 Snake__      Hmmm
10:08 Riddell      ah, so it still has binary compatibility issues with c++ and qt, fair
                   enough
10:08 Tm_T         BTW might be slightly off-topic but is there any jobs to artwork team?
10:08 Snake__      Tm_T: Very offtopic :)
10:08 ogra         Riddell, more evil, i can put any kind of binarys in this packages ...
10:08 Riddell      Tm_T: ask at end
                   klik is similar to what "AppDirs" were in NeXT and still are in Mac OS
10:08 pipitas      -- but it adds the compression and the "1 application == 1 file" idea
                   and the web service to auto-build them from "real" packages
10:08 Tm_T         aye
10:09 sorush20     klik sound like a very good idea getting closer to source intall
10:09 raphink      you might ask that to artwork team Tm_T
10:09 Riddell      ogra: well security is the reson why I havn't touched it yet
10:09 ogra         yup
10:09 raphink      indeed
=== Snake__ has no vote here..but will try it out later
10:09 Riddell      so pipitas, bfree when I do klik:/koffice I presume that comes from 1
                   server?
10:09 Psi-Jack     What are we proposing for klik? To add it to an official apt
                   repository or somethinh?
10:09 ogra         and why we havent even a autopackage package in ubunru yet
                   the dependencies klik puts into your final image depends on the
                   packages it assumes are installed for your distribution ... so if a
10:09 bfree        package requires something newer then the users base installed system
                   would have it includes it when building the cmg (compressed filesystem
                   image)
10:09 raphink      the idea is of course not to make it the default packaging system ;)
10:09 ogra         haha
10:09 atie         klik is worth to have as long as new svn packages provided, imo.
10:10 raphink      but it would prevent users from installing lots of unofficial packages
                   around, messing their sources.list with trashy stuff and so on
10:10 Tm_T         raphink: true
=== nlindblad [n=nlindbla@user179.217-10-120.netatonce.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
10:10 pipitas      For the current KOffice-1.5-Beta testing the KOffice devs cooperated
                   with us to provide kliks.
10:10 robotgeek    yup, that would be great
10:10 bfree        it's so a non-root user can simply install the latest firefox/gaim/???
                   without risking ANY potential damage to the system as a whole
10:10 pipitas      Sizes for Koffice kliks are listed here:
                   http://klik.atekon.de/wiki/index.php/KOffice-1.5.0_DistroTable
10:10 incinerator  what about dotfiles in the home directory?
10:10 nlindblad    bfree, that's one basic philosophy of UNIX
10:10 incinerator  will they be interfered with?
10:11 raphink      incinerator: well i'm beginning to see if I can work on porting klik
                   to install in /usr
10:11 Riddell      can anyone make a klik bundle or does it have to come from the klik
                   server?
10:11 atie         bfree, I concur with you that's beauty of klik
10:11 bfree        incinerator: a specific klik program can choose to use it's own
                   .files, but usually yes it will mess with you .files
10:11 raphink      we surely don't want debs to install anything in ~
10:11 incinerator  bfree: dangerous...
10:11 incinerator  but on the other hand, what else can it do if you want your
                   settings....
=== raphink thinks maybe this topic should actually be brought to next TB
10:12 incinerator  i don't know, as long as klik isn't so broken as openpkg or whatever,
                   it might be useful to be put into universe
10:12 jpatrick     :)
10:12 apachelogger Riddell: afaik anyone can make one, but it's not common
10:12 incinerator  but I surely would not make it the default....
10:12 bfree        anyone can make a klik like bundle, but all klik://foo links will draw
                   from the one server
10:12 sorush20     how about having a klik package manger?
10:12 Riddell      bfree: right, that's what I was wondering
10:12 Snake__      How about integrating it into adept..
10:12 pipitas      Riddell, all: I propose to add all the basic info (again) in summary
                   form to http://klik.atekon.de/wiki/index.php/Dapper
10:12 jpatrick     sorush20: not trying to replace apt
10:13 raphink      sorush20: non sense
10:13 Riddell      bfree: is there any kind of gpg signing?
10:13 apachelogger sorush20: would include that you can't move the kliks
10:13 sorush20     jpatrick: raphink that is what Snake was saying?
10:13 raphink      Riddell: good question :)
10:13 bfree        the idea of klik is that it doesn't need to be managed ... you end up
                   with one file per "klik" so you can just delete it/move it/whatever
10:13 apachelogger sorush20: big advantage, so you can keep your software on a usb stick
                   always with you
10:13 Snake__      Hmm
10:14 raphink      bfree: the idea of signing packages is that it is reliable
10:14 sorush20     apachelogger: that is a great idea
10:14 incinerator  bfree: sounds complicated to me
10:14 pipitas      klik app files may be moved to any dir (or CD/USBstick) and run from
                   there
10:14 bfree        Riddell: nope, as of now it does not do any checking ... it could be
                   done, but may be messy for the end user
10:14 Snake__      incinerator: from what I can tell, you get klik, go to their site,
                   download what you want, and your done...I guess
=== Snake__ doesn't fully understand it
10:15 incinerator  snake: fair enough if that's the case
10:15 raphink      Snake__: that's about it
10:15 Riddell      bfree: that's quite a blocker for distributions to support it by
                   default
10:15 pipitas      Riddell: klik uses fake URLs like  "klik://umbrello"
10:15 raphink      Snake__: you basically download a filesystem image that contains all
                   you need to run the app
                   for example, the koffice 1.5 kliks draw from a different package
10:15 bfree        repository ... the end user would have to add it's gpg key to verify
                   them (most packages come from debian so checking them is easier)
10:15 Psi-Jack     klik. Is it KDE-UI, console, or what?
10:15 incinerator  as long as (k)ubuntu devs don't waste their time with preparing kliks
                   instead of debs....
10:15 Riddell      pipitas: so if someone takes over the klik server everyone is in
                   trouble! :)
=== sladen [n=paul@193.28.45.41] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
10:15 pipitas      fake URL makes the klik client fetch (not the ready-made .cmg but) a
                   "recipe" from klik server
10:15 Snake__      incinerator: +1
10:16 apachelogger Psi-Jack: actually KDE, but supportes other DE's also
10:16 incinerator  ;-)
10:16 apachelogger afaik
10:16 Psi-Jack     I see..
10:16 raphink      bfree: gpg keys are not linked to repositories, they are linked to
                   whoever signed the package
10:16 jpatrick     incinerator: don't worry about that
10:16 Psi-Jack     Then I have no use for something like klik, myself.
10:16 bfree        you actually download the individual packages required to make the
                   bundles, only a few kliks will leave you downloading a bundle directly
10:16 pipitas      the recipe points the client to (usually) a Debian repository to fetch
                   a .deb from (may also be a .tgz Slack or .rpm package)
10:16 pipitas      the fetched package is extracted in /tmp and re-assembled into a .cmg
10:17 Snake__      Why should we do this rather than apt, tho?
10:17 robotgeek    and what about different architectures?
10:17 Psi-Jack     Snake__: We shouldn't.
10:17 jpatrick     Snake__: for testing new thingys
10:17 bfree        and that rpm/tgz could be coming from skype/real/??? as well as foss
                   projects ... do they even sign their stuff?
10:17 raphink      to test new apps without installing and messing people's systems
10:17 pipitas      users' "dot" files in $HOME may be effected if s.th. goes wrong -- but
                   never the system
10:17 Snake__      I see
10:17 apachelogger Snake__: testing, mobility, usablity....
10:18 Snake__      So I could just download this single file, stick it on my USB and it
                   will run wherever I want it to?
10:18 incinerator  perhaps some magic to make a backup of potentially affected dotfiles?
10:18 Snake__      USB Stick**
10:18 jpatrick     Snake__: yes
10:18 sorush20     klik and autopackage sound similar but klik seems to be lot less
                   dependent on the os installed on the computer..
                   but all the klik://koffice-somthing  and the
10:18 pipitas      current  klik://amarok-svn-nightly  set up a differnt "dotfile"
                   environment
10:19 Riddell      how does a person get a klik package on the klik server?
10:19 apachelogger alt-f2 klik://whatever
                   installing a second autopackage can upset one you installed earlier,
10:19 bfree        klik locks things into a confined space so they won't break anything
                   else (bar .dotfiles as mentioned)
10:19 pipitas      difference of klik and autopackage: klik does not compile from sources
                   -- a.p. does
10:19 amu          sorush20: nope, they should be the same
10:19 apachelogger Riddell: or visit the website, choose the app, click the link and it
                   starts klik://whatever
=== Psi-Jack taps his foot.
10:20 raphink      Psi-Jack: hehe ;)
10:20 raphink      ok
10:20 Riddell      but I'm wondering who puts them on the server?  presumably bfree?
                   a.p. defines a set of "quality tools" to make "better builds" -- klik
10:20 pipitas      devs actually would very much like to see a.p. standards + tools used
                   for building everywhere :)
10:20 raphink      well that's quite an intro and I think this has to be thought about
10:20 apachelogger Riddell: recipe maintainers
10:20 jpatrick     yum
10:20 Psi-Jack     klik would be great as an individual package, but should be just that.
                   Optional.
10:20 raphink      and brought up to TB maybe
10:21 Riddell      raphink: once the packages are through NEW you can advertise them to
                   the mailing list etc and people can give feedback
10:21 raphink      Psi-Jack: of course, it shoudl only be optional
10:21 apachelogger Psi-Jack: it will not replace apt ;-)
10:21 raphink      Riddell: yes that's an idea
                   Riddell: if you want something that isn't there tell us about it :-)
10:21 bfree        all relevant debian packages should be there already and many others
                   have been added ... I haven't added any but pipitas and probono are
                   more involved with that side of things
10:21 raphink      ok
10:21 Psi-Jack     apachelogger: The day apt is replaced, I go back to some other distro.
                   :)
10:21 bfree        klik is NOT an apt replacement ... in fact klik depends on apt (on the
                   server)
10:21 sladen       bfree: currently this downloads an unsigned executable script and runs
                   it locally?
                   klik's main use case (IMHO) is for testing bleeding edge software
10:21 pipitas      without endangering the system (some people use it even for having
                   lots of add-on software permanently)
10:21 apachelogger Psi-Jack: ;-)
10:21 raphink      Psi-Jack: it won't be, there's no reason
10:22 Psi-Jack     raphink: I know. I'm not suggesting it was to replace it. LOL
10:22 raphink      Psi-Jack: hehe
10:22 Riddell      but it does need gpg signing before kubuntu or ubuntu would look at it
                   for main
10:22 Psi-Jack     I'm just saying, a package like klik should be offered. It's a GREAT
                   idea.
                   I think it would be a plus for kubuntu...I know i've wanted some
10:22 Snake__      software that wouldn't complie or was in the repos,  but I see it on
                   here...
10:22 bfree        sladen: yes :-(
10:22 Psi-Jack     Just like I want to build a Lexmark Z600 .deb for Kubuntu. ;)
10:22 pipitas      klik is not aiming to replace *any* existing package management
                   system. It is *not* a pack man syst and never will be one.
10:22 allee        sladen: like apt did for year
10:22 Riddell      even then it's tricky since it would mean us saying we suggest someone
                   else's packages
10:22 robotgeek    i think it's great, new users might find it very useful. instead of
                   compiling stuff on their own/someone else's checkinstall debs/etc
10:23 pipitas      klik relies on apt for "serverside apt" :)
10:23 ogra         sladen, and modifies user configs unintetional :)
10:23 Hobbsee      robotgeek: +1
10:23 raphink      Psi-Jack: you're welcome to it anytime
10:23 Psi-Jack     raphink: I gotta re-learn how to use .deb tools, first. LOL
10:23 Riddell      any other klik business?
10:23 raphink      Psi-Jack: any time on -motu we're there ;)
                   pipitas: well there's should be therorethically no difference if you
10:23 amu          install a deb, or a set of deb, they should be also easy removeable,
                   without touching the sys :) if not its a bug in the deb package, klick
                   is an nice optional thing
10:23 raphink      ok
10:23 Psi-Jack     raphink: I've also gotta finish helping Seveas fix up his
                   dsp-hijacker. :D
=== janimo [n=jani@Home03207.cluj.astral.ro] has left #ubuntu-meeting []
10:24 raphink      Riddell: I think that's it
10:24 Psi-Jack     raphink: -motu?
10:24 Riddell      what's next?  working with debian packagers?
10:24 raphink      Psi-Jack: #ubuntu-motu
10:24 Hobbsee      Psi-Jack: #ubuntu-motu
10:24 raphink      Riddell: yep
10:24 Psi-Jack     Oh.. Okay...
10:24 Riddell      allee: isn't that irc channel super sekret?
10:24 raphink      allee: you're up
10:24 Psi-Jack     LOL. I see. :)
                   amu: with .debs you can only have one version of an app at one time --
10:24 pipitas      with klik you can have various. That's why I say "for testing it is
                   ideal"
10:24 allee        no it isn't but when you produce unwnated input your baned quickly
10:25 Tm_T         pipitas: true
10:25 Psi-Jack     allee: Unwanted input == *.deb SUCKS? :)
=== jpatrick has to go
10:25 amu          pipitas: nope, you can define a set of package, a metapackge which do
                   the same
10:25 raphink      jpatrick: it's almost done though
10:25 Riddell      allee: I put all the kubuntu KDE packaging on alioth, do you think
                   that's useful?
10:25 raphink      jpatrick: do you want me to save the log somewhere?
10:25 allee        Psi-Jack: as in: OT -> kicked
                   I'll go through the log and add to the wiki side what has been raised
10:25 pipitas      here. See http://klik.atekon.de/wiki/index.php/Dapper from tomorrow or
                   so
10:25 raphink      jpatrick: so you can do the minutes
10:25 Psi-Jack     allee: Gotcha. Okay. Thanks.
10:26 Riddell      pipitas: thanks
=== Burgwork [n=corey@d66-183-174-128.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
10:26 Riddell      thanks bfree too
10:26 jpatrick     raphink: I'll write minutes later and there's online logs
10:26 raphink      thanks pipitas and bre
10:26 Hobbsee      ping?
10:26 raphink      bfree:
=== bfree thanks you all for your interest and wishes you all good luck with your next
kubuntu release
10:26 raphink      ok allee, next point?
10:26 raphink      bfree: thanks :)
10:26 allee        About 'working to gether'.  It's nothing to vote about ;)
=== Burgwork [n=corey@d66-183-174-128.bchsia.telus.net] has left #ubuntu-meeting
["Leaving"]
10:26 raphink      allee: :)
10:26 allee        just and offer and to all kubuntu pkg know that it's there.
10:26 Tm_T         allee: that's totally out of question, right?
10:27 jpatrick     I have some KDE packages that I could ask to get into Debian
10:27 Riddell      Tm_T: what is?
=== Snake__ goes to check klik
10:27 Tm_T         Riddell: nothing
                   pipitas: you know, there is no advantage, except it looks colorfull
10:27 amu          and it sounds easy, and of course it doesnt match with debian
                   policy.
10:27 allee        When you use it, you simple work closer together because both sides
                   see it.
10:27 Riddell      allee: what the best process for MOTUs getting packages back into
                   Debian?
10:27 raphink      amu: please keep the conversation on klik on #klik
10:27 pipitas      amu: it doesnt aim to match with Debian policy :)
10:28 Psi-Jack     Okay.
10:28 ogra         Riddell, the utnubu team in debian ...
10:28 allee        Riddell: hard to tell.  Everything added to KDe extra found it way
                   into debian
10:28 ogra         Riddell, join it on alioth
10:28 allee        when therer suddenly dozends of new pkg.  Overload effect happen :)
10:28 raphink      ogra: :)
10:29 raphink      allee: I think contributing to Debian has been discussed, even trolled
                   on, several times
10:29 raphink      allee: there are wiki pages about it
10:29 raphink      allee: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributingToDebian
10:30 allee        raphink: yes, I know.  How likes it, use the oppertunity,  it's pretty
                   KDE centric and no fancy support tools
10:30 raphink      it's surely a good idea to try and get more in touch with Debian KDE
                   packagers
10:30 raphink      allee: so your point is to advertise this IRC channel, right?
10:30 allee        just a bit of overlap between debian and kubuntu.  At the important
                   point.  the changes in debian/ dir
10:31 raphink      what changes in debian/ are you talking about?
10:31 allee        raphink: no. the svn repo for KDE debian/ dirs
10:31 raphink      ah ok
10:31 Riddell      allee: what KDE DD's do we have these days?  isaac, dato?
10:31 allee        raphink: the repo contains the debian dirs of pkgs
10:32 raphink      Riddell: claude
10:32 allee        Mark Purcell mainly
=== hunger [n=tobias@p54A6356F.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
10:32 jpatrick     allee: like kmplayer?
10:32 allee        isaac, dato and some other help on request and as time permits
10:32 allee        But Paul is the quickest sponsor I've ever heard about
10:33 ArmeBosse    paul ?
10:33 allee        ArmeBosse: Argl.  Paul Purcell, sorry. Mark was my first sponsor :(
10:33 ArmeBosse    ok :)
10:34 allee        ArmeBosse: Mark Purcell that is.
10:34 raphink      ok we're getting in Debian/dev related things and I'd like to be able
                   to set a date for next meeting before most people leave :)
=== allee needs sleep
10:34 raphink      if that's fine
10:34 ArmeBosse    yep for kde extras, mark is the the guy
10:34 Psi-Jack     Hehe.
=== Riddell tries to remember ArmeBosse's real name
10:35 ArmeBosse    fathi boudra :)
10:35 raphink      allee: is it fine if we move on to next meeting's date?
10:35 Riddell      ah hah!
10:35 Riddell      any other business first
10:35 jpatrick     raphink: anything between 5UTC - 8UTC for me to be there
                   (unforturately)
10:35 allee        yeap.  Nothing more to add
10:35 raphink      ok
10:35 Riddell      amu: ?
10:35 raphink      anyone still has anything to say?
10:35 raphink      I mean another /topic that was not in the agenda?
10:35 Riddell      did Psi-Jack?
10:35 Psi-Jack     raphink: I did. :)
10:35 Hobbsee      and Snake__?
10:35 jpatrick     I think Tm_t did
10:36 raphink      Psi-Jack: go ahead then
10:36 amu          Riddell: klickibunti?
10:36 Riddell      waiting on Psi-Jack now...
                   My issues, involves the problems I noticed with, for whatever reasons,
10:36 Psi-Jack     the kde defaults for the Konqueror use, breaks the proper use of
                   kfmclient's profiles for File Manager, and Web Browser profiles.
10:36 raphink      amu: lol
10:37 amu          raphink: hehe, thats a real thing :)
10:37 Riddell      Psi-Jack: what's broken?
                   As it is, if one loads up Konqueror, as Web Browser, and uses a
10:38 Psi-Jack     desktop icon to load up their DVD, or CD, or, even the System Menu to
                   open their home dir, it loads it up into a new tab of the Web Browser
                   window.
10:38 Riddell      Psi-Jack: these have changed a lot in dapper, no tabs for everything,
                   konqueror opens in new windows now
10:38 raphink      amu: oh yeah
10:38 allee        Riddell: startup konqueror, set, eg. show bookmark toolbar, save
                   it.  start konqueror again no toolbar
10:38 atie         Psi-Jack, +1, don't want to see bookmark at file manager profile
10:38 Psi-Jack     Riddell: Does it make /proper/ use of Konqueror profiles?
10:38 Riddell      the bookmark toolbar is weird
10:38 Riddell      Psi-Jack: sure, look in /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings
10:38 Tm_T         I dont want to mess default profiles at all
10:38 Psi-Jack     Konqueror has a profile system that works abolutely greatly, when USED
                   properly. ;)
10:38 allee        Riddell: it never was until last big defaults update
10:38 Riddell      Psi-Jack: but konqueror has some bugs
10:39 Psi-Jack     Riddell: Dapper's or Breezy? :)
10:39 allee        but hat more something for lauchpad and #kubuntu-devel IMHO
10:39 Riddell      Psi-Jack: look at dapepr since that's what we're working on, let me
                   know if you have specific changes you'd like
10:39 Psi-Jack     Riddell: Could you send me what dapper has for that, so far? I don't
                   run Dapper, till it's stable. ;)
10:40 Riddell      Psi-Jack: find it on archive.ubuntu.com
10:40 Riddell      latest kubuntu-default-settings
10:40 jjesse       check out the release notes :)
10:40 Psi-Jack     Alright. That'll work too.
10:40 Riddell      Psi-Jack: or try flight 4, coming out tomorrow!
10:40 Riddell      ok, amu
10:40 amu          Riddell: all right
10:41 jpatrick     anything else? (so I can do minutes)
10:41 amu          maybe some of you know, heart about it
10:41 amu          klickibunti is a webgui, users can build their own customized iso
                   images.
10:41 raphink      any other topic?
10:41 Psi-Jack     Has the other issue with the "autorun" facility of KDE in Dapper been
                   fixed to not give errors about opening media:/hd? as well?
10:41 Riddell      Psi-Jack: yes
10:41 Riddell      Psi-Jack: do gi*ve flight 4 a try :)
10:41 Riddell      amu: based on ubuntu/kubuntu CDs?
10:41 amu          the idea comes some years ago, i was too busy building iso :)
10:41 Psi-Jack     Riddell: Hmmm.. What is flight 4? LOL
10:42 jpatrick     Psi-Jack: forth dapper testing cd
10:42 raphink      Psi-Jack: the dapper snapshot
10:42 Psi-Jack     Ahh..
10:42 amu          Riddell: lets say debian based :) of course kubuntu is the first
                   chosse
10:42 amu          s/choose
10:42 Psi-Jack     Riddell: Tomorrow? :)
10:42 Riddell      of course
10:42 Tm_T         if there's any artwork needs before any freezes in that front, I'd
                   like to know :)
10:42 Riddell      Psi-Jack: friday
10:42 Riddell      amu: what's the status of it?
10:42 Psi-Jack     Riddell: I'll try it out on my testing HDD, and get back with you. :)
10:42 amu          users upload their desktop background, install their own packages /
                   files
10:43 raphink      amu: link?
10:43 amu          Riddell: i'm busy in onother project, zero time for it now :( maybe a
                   workgroup can handle it
10:43 amu          raphink: not published now
10:43 raphink      amu: ok
10:43 Riddell      amu: do you have a server for it?  I'd imagine it's very CPU/disk
                   intensive
10:44 jpatrick     everyone done?
10:44 amu          Riddell: yep
10:44 Psi-Jack     I'm done. :)
10:44 raphink      jpatrick: soon I guess
10:44 Riddell      amu: I'd say make a wiki page with your ideas and post to the mailing
                   list to see if anyone is willing to work on it
10:44 amu          Riddell: it's limited to known users, everyone its impossible
10:44 Riddell      amu: yeah, I can imagine that
10:45 raphink      interesting project though amu, and I can easily see how to improve it
10:45 Riddell      amu: and you have the scripts for this yes?  so it's just a case of
                   putting a web front end onto it
10:45 amu          Riddell: sound good, well it looks easier if i finish it instead of
                   explaining to others
10:46 Riddell      amu: I think there would be a lot of demand for it though
10:46 amu          Riddell: basic build scripts are ready, the php? code is the missing
                   component
10:46 raphink      amu: yeah make a wiki and a snapshot of it :)
10:46 raphink      building a live CD requires about an hour on a standard comp
10:46 amu          raphink: sounds possible for a spacial group of people, my hardware is
                   limited :)
10:46 raphink      (2GHz proc with 512MB RAM)
10:47 amu          raphink: i redcuded it to 15min. with an cache option maybe 8-9
                   minutes are possible
10:47 raphink      you'd need several machines to handle a large demand
10:47 raphink      amu: wow nice :)
10:47 raphink      ok
10:47 raphink      well since jpatrick has to go and is our secretary tonight :)
10:47 Riddell      agenda done?
10:48 amu          high end hardware, dual xeoan 2,6, 2gig ram, raid scsi
10:48 raphink      it would be good to end up setting a date for next meeting
10:48 Hobbsee      when's our next meeting?
10:48 raphink      amu: :D :D
10:48 Riddell      I say we could have these monthly
10:48 Hobbsee      stupid lag...
10:48 amu          s/xeon
10:48 raphink      Riddell: I would say more often
10:48 raphink      Riddell: there are points planned for today that we switched to next
                   time
10:48 Psi-Jack     Yeah, more often. :)
10:48 Hobbsee      fortnightly?
10:48 raphink      and maybe need to be talked about before FF
10:49 jpatrick     raphink: I'll done minutes and place on wiki tomorrow
10:49 raphink      this meeting has shown useful I think
10:49 Riddell      well I already have the weekly distro meetings, too many meeting for
                   me :)
10:49 Riddell      but if it's not 2 hours each time more often is ok
10:49 amu          Riddell: fosdem time, i'll show you the things :)
10:49 jpatrick     indeed :)
10:49 raphink      Riddell: you can come to one over two
10:49 Riddell      amu: yes please :)
10:49 raphink      Riddell: won't be two hours each time if it's more often
10:49 raphink      I'd propose to have a meeting once every 2 weeks
10:50 raphink      what do you think?
10:50 Riddell      same time next wednesday?
10:50 jpatrick     Good to me
10:50 Riddell      no, 2 weeks wednesday
10:50 raphink      I'd like that but it's not possible
10:50 jpatrick     that's excellent
10:50 jpatrick     :/
10:50 amu          Riddell: did you announced the new live images?
10:50 raphink      Riddell: we need to discuss some other things before FF
10:50 raphink      so next week would be better for next meeting
10:50 raphink      but next wenesday same time is Dapper Status
10:51 Riddell      amu: not yet, will do though
10:51 raphink      oh no sorry ;)
10:51 raphink      thats thursday
10:51 raphink      hehe
10:51 raphink      ok
10:51 raphink      well next wednesday is fine for me

10:55 Psi-Jack     I must say. I'm glad to see Kubuntu actually holding meetings like
                   this.
10:55 raphink      Psi-Jack: so am I :)
10:55 raphink      this is a success :)
10:55 Hobbsee      hold it, next wednesday 20UTC?
10:55 raphink      yes Hobbsee
10:55 Hobbsee      isnt today thursday for you all?
10:56 raphink      I'll post to the ML about it
10:56 Riddell      Hobbsee: not yet
10:56 Psi-Jack     This is also what will help keep Kubuntu united as a community, and
                   what the community wants and needs. That's very important to Kubuntu.
10:56 raphink      yes Hobbsee but next thursday is already taken
10:56 raphink      Riddell: sure it's thursday today :p
10:56 allee        raphink: Wednesday is better :)
10:56 Hobbsee      right, so it's your wednesday, and my thursday, 2 march, i take it?
10:56 raphink      allee: thursday is not possible next week anyway
10:56 mjg59        pwd
10:56 mjg59        NNGH.
10:56 Psi-Jack     Oh shoot..

10:57 Psi-Jack     I was gonna ask one more question. And just now remembered. ;)
10:57 raphink      Hobbsee: my wednesday 22nd, 20 UTC
=== Hobbsee 's brain explodes in a puff of smoke
10:57 raphink      Hobbsee: your thursday 23rd I guess
10:57 Hobbsee      ah, one week away, right :)

10:57 Hobbsee      gotcha

                   big exception
10:57 raphink      mjg59: /home/kubuntu/meeting
                   Skype! Seveas has a perfectly working Skype package, and with me
10:57 Psi-Jack     fixing up some final touches to his skype-dsp-hijacker, I think skype
                   needs to be available in the Universe or Multiverse.
10:58 raphink      allee: lucky exception then
10:58 allee        yes
10:58 raphink      ok
