15:07:08 <s-fox> o/ jcastro
15:07:10 <dholbach> go go patch pilots!
15:07:10 <jcastro> it's not anything awesome yet
15:07:16 <jcastro> it's the client only right now
15:07:20 <mhall119> but cloud-init is there now
15:07:28 <mhall119> or about to be
15:07:39 <jcastro> to get the same kind of awesome juju thing Debian would need cloud-init enabled images, etc.
15:07:44 <jcastro> right, the pieces are there
15:07:49 <jcastro> there's infrastructure work to do
15:07:57 <jcastro> we're working on a "this is what debian would need" document
15:08:03 <jcastro> but it's a start.
15:08:06 <dholbach> nice
15:08:11 <dpm> thanks jcastro
15:08:16 <jono> any other questions?
15:08:17 <s-fox> what is the update on the forum upgrade?
15:08:37 <jcastro> the last update I got was that the openid plugin is broken
15:08:50 <jcastro> and they need to OSS it so people can fix it
15:09:03 <jcastro> it was working before and then it stopped working
15:09:03 <s-fox> i know it went from broken -> fixed -> broken :-(
15:09:06 <jcastro> right
15:09:10 <mhall119> s-fox: welcome to openid
15:09:37 <s-fox> anyone keep a backup? lol
15:10:08 <jcastro> I'll know more when I talk to michael

15:11:23 <jono> ...Star Wars XX: Return Of The Quicklist, mhall119!
15:11:36 <mhall119> now with more Jar Jar Binks
15:11:43 <jono> watta ting
15:11:51 <mhall119> well, on that note...
15:12:05 <mhall119> Unity Quicklists are now available in Gnome Shell via extension
15:12:28 <mhall119> so all the work of getting them added and upstreamed last cycle will now benefit folks using GS as well as Unity
15:12:49 <dholbach> nice :)
15:13:02 <mhall119> on to the actual list:
15:13:04 <mhall119> Discussed concerns with the FC about new App Dev forum
15:13:27 <mhall119> There was one outstanding question at the FC's meeting last week, but I sent them an answer this morning, so we should be all set now
15:13:44 <mhall119> Finished (mostly) a Juju charm for Summit that was 90% generated from the Django project meta-data
15:13:54 <jcastro> \o/
15:14:04 <mhall119> I need to setup an LP project for this code, need a cool name
15:14:27 <mhall119> Investigated what needs to be done to include pkgme in the app developer process
15:14:42 <mhall119> discussed with dpm, dholbach and jono what our next steps are
15:14:56 <mhall119> which led to:
15:14:58 <mhall119> Started learning how to write a pkgme backend
15:15:32 <mhall119> Facilitated Ubuntu TV discussions between Canonical and new community contributors
15:15:58 <mhall119> it's great to see someone from the community actively hacking on the TV project, if anybody sees bobweaver online tell him he's awesome
15:16:14 <mhall119> and finally...
15:16:16 <mhall119> Fixing Unity documentation bugs identified during UDS
15:16:38 <mhall119> so I was able to knock out at least a few work items
15:16:45 <mhall119> all done, any questions?
15:16:59 <dpm> nice
15:17:19 <dpm> Is there any document on how to get started hacking on Ubuntu TV?
15:17:32 <mhall119> yes, but it's all based on the deprecated unity 2d codebase
15:17:51 <mhall119> there will need to be new docs for the 3d port, once there is a 3d port in progress
15:18:01 <dpm> gotcha
15:18:41 <jono> alrighty
15:18:45 <jono> next up...
