15:32 <willcooke> #topic desrt
15:32 <desrt> hi
15:32 <desrt> i attended a sprint
15:33 <desrt> uh... i also did a lot of bug chasing, i guess
15:33 <desrt> just found an issue with popovers vs. menubars in gtk 3.12 which is impacting us -- found the upstream fix(es) and am in process of backporting them
15:34 <willcooke> do you want to say anything about Mir support landing in Gtk?
15:34 <desrt> also fixed some stuff last weeek like this weird hang in the dash because of qtdbus doing too much locking
15:34 <desrt> oh.  mir support landed in gtk upstream :)
15:34 <willcooke> \o/
15:34 <desrt> this way future gtk shifts won't require us to rebase our stuff
15:34 <willcooke> congratulations to all, great work
15:35 <desrt> mostly my brain is still unscrambling from 2.5 weeks of travel :)
15:35 <desrt> eof
15:35 <willcooke> thanks desrt
15:35 <desrt> one more note:
15:35 <willcooke> It was great to finally catch up with you last week
15:35 <desrt> i just pushed the gtk changes to the gtk-3-12 branch (seconds ago)
15:36 <desrt> so next gtk stable release will have them, but we can take them as vendor patches until then
15:36 <desrt> willcooke: you too :)
15:36 <willcooke> let's move on to didrocks

15:39 <willcooke> #topic qengho

15:39 <qengho> in-progress: pulling contemporary Clang back to precise to get chromium-browser build-deps satisfied again. Will try to release TUV without P for now, and release P's when it's possible.

15:39 <qengho> EOF
15:40 <willcooke> thanks qengho.  I'd like to get Chromium in to the desktop next image when we can, but prioritise as appropriate
15:41 <willcooke> #topic seb128
15:41 <willcooke> seb128, you're up
15:41 <seb128> - was at a sprint
15:41 <seb128> - started working on merges with Debian and updates for vivid
15:41 <seb128> - some u-s-s reviews
15:41 <seb128> </week>
15:41 <willcooke> Thanks seb128, and thank you for all your support last week
15:41 <seb128> (some utopic SRUs as well)
15:42 <seb128> yw!
15:42 <Laney> triaged evince & rb bugs
15:42 <Laney> I SAW YOU
15:42 <willcooke> #topic Sweetshark
15:42 <willcooke> Sweetshark, over to you
15:42 <Sweetshark> * prepared 3.5.7/precise update and staged it at https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-3-5
15:42 <Sweetshark> * prepared 4.2.7/trusty update and staged it at https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-4-2
15:42 <seb128> Laney, yeah ;-)
15:42 <Sweetshark> * prepared 4.3.3/utopic update and staged it at https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-4-3 and https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
15:42 <Sweetshark> * all the above should be SRUed at soonish unless they show issues during staging (so far no issues reported)
15:43 <Sweetshark> * prepared debian/rules cleanup to Debian at: https://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/2014/10/msg00082.html
15:43 <Sweetshark> ** somewhat a litmus test: If Debian doesnt take this, I wont bother with trying to improve stuff there anymore unless essential, as doing this as a Delta vs. Debian creates as more work as the cleanup of packaging solves => will rather focus on fixing stuff directly upstream then
15:43 <Sweetshark> ** so far just an indecisive "will sleep over it" feedback on IRC, no reply on the Debian list, patch is not commited to Debian branch
15:43 <Sweetshark> * attended SeaGL in Seattle on Saturday and LibreFest on Sunday morning -- excellent turnout for the US at the latter: https://plus.google.com/events/c0t94hkc4retbq13jr5bc193tno
15:43 <Sweetshark> ** did some firefighting/leadership for upstream employees
15:43 <Sweetshark> * some coordination to get good speakers for the "open IT summit" in Hamburg (discussion of a "Microsoft exit strategy for Hamburg" included) https://twitter.com/search?q=oitg14
15:43 <Sweetshark> * attended devices sprint, met lots of cool people
15:43 <Sweetshark> * still not in posession of a helicopter
15:43 <Sweetshark> EOF
15:43 <willcooke> :D
15:43 <willcooke> thanks Sweetshark
15:43 <desrt> won't someone GET THIS MAN A HELICOPTER!
15:44 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter
15:44 <willcooke> tkamppeter, over to you.
15:44 <tkamppeter> I wanted to attend a sprint, but someone wanted me not to do so, so I did:
15:44 <tkamppeter> - Backported IPP Everywhere (driverless printing) support from Utopic into Trusty LTS, mainly changes in cups-filters but also in system-config-printer and cups (hardware enablement SRU bug #1386241).
15:44 <tkamppeter> - system-config-printer: Updated to 1.5.3 in Vivid to include automatic installation of smbclient package if needed and for additional fixes of Python3  transition bugs.
15:44 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: Additional patches for printing multiple copies on PDF printers applied.
15:44 <tkamppeter> - Bugs.
15:44 <ubot5> bug 1386241 in system-config-printer (Ubuntu Trusty) "Add the full IPP Everywhere support from Utopic to Trusty" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1386241
15:44 <willcooke> Sorry we didnt get to arrange the meeting with Design, I will fill you in on what happened during our 1:1 this week.
15:45 <tkamppeter> willcooke, OK, I hope my lawyer will find the "sonmeone"soon ...
15:45 <willcooke> tkamppeter, I hope so too!
15:45 <willcooke> #topic willcooke
15:45 <willcooke> * Went to a sprint
15:45 <desrt> 
15:46 <willcooke> I'll be creating Blueprints etc this week
15:46 <tkamppeter> So that I do not need to illegally enter with Sweetshark's helicopter ...
15:46 <willcooke> Got some write ups to do first
15:46 <desrt> tkamppeter: it's talk like that that gets you blacklisted ;)
15:46 <willcooke> :)
15:46 <willcooke> #topic happyaron
15:46 <willcooke> Besides attending the sprint, I've spent quite some time on sponsoring
15:46 <willcooke> uploads for the upcoming Debian freeze, and played around libxml2's
15:46 <willcooke> security updates.
15:46 <willcooke> #topic AOB
15:47 <willcooke> Any other business?
15:47 <qengho> So glad we're using Blueprints.
15:47 <willcooke> Oh, the UOS is coming up
15:47 <willcooke> We can expect some sessions around 16.04 convergence desktop
15:47 <willcooke> Do we need to have a desktop track?
15:47 <seb128> no
15:47 <seb128> we don't have enough topic for a full track
15:47 <willcooke> ack
15:47 <seb128> imho
15:48 <qengho> willcooke: define "UOS", please?
15:48 <seb128> a few sessions would be nice
15:48 <seb128> qengho, UDS online
15:48 <willcooke> that
15:48 <seb128> or vUDS
15:48 <seb128> or whatever you prefer to call those weeks packed with hangout sessions ;-)
15:48 <willcooke> I think the official term is still Ubuntu Online Summit
15:49 <seb128> yeah
15:49 <willcooke> mhall119, ^^^^^ ?
15:49 <seb128> because they merged UDS and some other online events iirc
15:49 <willcooke> right
15:49 <didrocks> the user-oriented one
15:49 <willcooke> ok, then I think we are done for the week
