10:01 Keybuk let us begin 10:02 Keybuk \sh has asked to go first, due to a flaky modem 10:02 Keybuk \sh: off you go 10:02 \sh thx 10:02 \sh hi, my name is Stephan Hermann, I think most of you know me 10:03 \sh I disabled my developer rights the last months, because of personal problems 10:03 \sh but these personal problems are solved, and I want to re-apply for motu and core. 10:04 \sh that's why I'm here today... 10:04 Keybuk mjg59: any thoughts here? 10:05 mjg59 I don't have any objection 10:05 Keybuk myself neither, \sh appears to be active again, and has been stuck in sponsor hell for a while 10:05 mjg59 Though we haven't really got any formal process, this seems similar to the Debian emeritus process 10:05 Keybuk he's sufficiently proved, to my mind, that he's able to resume his duties again 10:05 mjg59 I agree 10:06 Keybuk \sh: welcome back 10:06 mjg59 Ok. Core candidates? 10:06 ogra \sh, congrats 10:06 mjg59 There's a couple on the list, are any of them here? === rodarvus is here 10:06 \sh Thanks a lot...so if anyone put me back into the teams, I can upload tomorrow a lot of stuff I have on my laptop 10:07 LaserJock wahoo \sh 10:07 Keybuk rodarvus: you're up, would you care to introduce yourself 10:07 rodarvus sure 10:07 Keybuk your past experience 10:07 Keybuk and what you'll be doing for Ubuntu 10:07 rodarvus I'm Rodrigo Novo, have been doing linux distro development for the last 9 years 10:08 rodarvus (I worked at Conectiva, Freedows Consortium and Nokia Institute of Technology) 10:08 rodarvus at conectiva I used to do rpm packaging but the rest of the job was basically the same as in ubuntu distribution 10:08 rodarvus at INdT (Nokia institute...) I worked on the "platform sdk" 10:09 rodarvus which are the core packages + development packages, run inside scratchbox, to do development for Maemo platform 10:09 rodarvus I was hired by Canonical three weeks ago 10:09 rodarvus to work mainly on Edubuntu, and in the near future, OLPC 10:09 rodarvus (hopefully a Ubuntu community effort) 10:09 rodarvus mjg59, thats why I asked you about OLPC yesterday, actually :) 10:10 rodarvus right now, I'm working on X packages for Edgy 10:10 rodarvus more specifically, I'm working on a spec with the description and list of the changes (which are quite big) 10:10 \sh rodarvus: so you are replacing deniels 10:10 Keybuk what's the general play for X in Edgy? 10:10 Keybuk s/play/plan/ 10:10 rodarvus and am already working on integrating changes from debian xserver-xorg-video-* into our video drivers === zul [n=chuck@CPE0006258ec6c1-CM000a73655d0e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting 10:11 rodarvus Keybuk, I had relatively little time to talk with infinity, as he went on vacation a few days ago 10:11 rodarvus (two days after I started the task) 10:11 rodarvus the plan is to integrate better our X packages with debians 10:11 rodarvus as we don't have the manpower to maintain them ourselves 10:11 mjg59 Sounds like a good start 10:12 mjg59 Are we moving to 7.1? 10:12 \sh sounds great 10:12 rodarvus mjg59, yes, hopefully even in time for edgy 10:12 rodarvus the first part of the job is to base our package on theirs, though 10:12 \sh rodarvus: do we get all transitional packages as debian? 10:12 rodarvus and do like we do with Gnome - just diverge on upstream versions 10:12 rodarvus \sh, yes, this is the plan === Klaidas [n=klaidas@unaffiliated/klaidas] has left #ubuntu-meeting [] === uniq [n=frode@ubuntu/member/frode] has left #ubuntu-meeting [] 10:13 mjg59 rodarvus: How much experience have you of Debian packaging? 10:14 rodarvus mjg59, I've been doing this daily for the last few years 10:14 rodarvus and I have very strong knowledge of packaging policy itself 10:14 rodarvus (which is the most important part, I believe) 10:14 Riddell rodarvus: what experience do you have relevant to edubuntu? 10:14 rodarvus in this case, I have almost 9 years of experience (counting rpm and deb packaging) 10:15 \sh rodarvus: why do you want to do the packaging of Xorg for ubuntu? 10:15 rodarvus Riddell, I have little experience with edubuntu itself - I have some (previous) experience with thinclients (which is related to LTSP, and thus, edubuntu) === tonyyarusso [n=anthony@dialup-4.159.11.49.Dial1.Chicago1.Level3.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting 10:16 rodarvus \sh, partly because it is in a semi-abandoned status in Ubuntu 10:16 rodarvus and partly because I want to be involved in the maintenance of X packages 10:16 rodarvus (which are important on any linux distro, of course) === crimsun [n=crimsun@pdpc/supporter/silver/crimsun] has joined #ubuntu-meeting 10:17 \sh rodarvus: I'm just asking because of the "sometimes" political indifference between ubuntu and debian....so I would like to see if someone tries to combine the affords of packaging between ubuntu and debian....thx for your answer :) 10:17 rodarvus Riddell, thinclients are a very common setup in Brazil, and I have done a "edubuntu-like" package setup for Conecitva Linux in the past (though not for educational purposes) 10:17 mjg59 Keybuk: Any more questions? 10:18 Keybuk I have none, I've had the opportunity to meet rodarvus in person in Paris 10:18 ogra rodarvus will take a bunch of responsibilitys in the edgy ltsp development 10:18 rodarvus ogra, right, I have a few (three) LTSP-related specs to complete on Edgy timeframe 10:18 ogra (and hopefully beyond :) ) 10:18 rodarvus :) 10:18 \sh If keybuk met rodarvus I 10:19 \sh 'm second the decision 10:19 \sh s/if/when/ 10:19 Keybuk mjg59: any more questions from you? 10:19 mjg59 Nope, I'm happy 10:20 Keybuk ok, votes 10:20 Keybuk +1 from me, I'm confident he'll do a good job === ogra cheers for rodarvus 10:20 mjg59 1 from me 10:21 Keybuk mjg59: + or - ? :) 10:21 ogra well 1 > 0 :) 10:21 mjg59 Congratulations! 10:21 mjg59 Keybuk: I'll let you decide 10:21 \sh congrats rodarvus and welcome to ubuntu :) 10:21 ogra congrats rodarvus ! 10:21 rodarvus thanks :) 10:22 Keybuk anybody else applying for core-dev/ 10:22 LaserJock rodarvus: \o/ 10:22 mjg59 We'll move onto universe if nobody speaks up in the next minute or so... 10:23 Keybuk there's nobody else on my list, anyway 10:23 Keybuk so, universe 10:23 Keybuk lukketto?
