15:37 <willcooke> #topic Laney
15:37 <willcooke> - Debconf
15:37 <willcooke> - Help to finish the main g++5 transition (went in Sunday night from
15:37 <willcooke> the bar at our hotel) with lots of rebuilds, test fixes and other
15:37 <willcooke> pushing of packages. Wrote/fixed a script which a few of us used to
15:37 <willcooke> help pin down issues. Hopefully will be generally useful for
15:37 <willcooke> update_output poking in future.
15:37 <willcooke> https://code.launchpad.net/~laney/ubuntu-archive-tools/update-output-helper/+merge/267970
15:37 <willcooke> - Merge D-Bus 1.9.20 (RC for 1.10) - delta is quite small now and
15:37 <willcooke> could probably go away post-upstart after the apparmor stuff is
15:37 <willcooke> moved over to the upstream method.
15:37 <willcooke> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/1477086
15:37 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1477086 in dbus (Ubuntu) "DBus 1.10" [High,Triaged]

15:38 <willcooke> #topic seb128
15:38 <qengho> * upstream Chromium is removing launchpad translations. They're stale and only we use them.
15:38 <willcooke> - debconf
15:38 <willcooke> - patch pilot (half)day
15:38 <willcooke> - updated bluez5 package to the current version in tha ppa
15:38 <willcooke> - landed bluez5 transition in wily
15:38 <willcooke> - some bugs triage/reviews/testing for touch updates
15:38 <willcooke> - some desktop srus validations
15:38 <willcooke> oh, sorry qengho - I figured you were done since you've only been back a day
15:39 <qengho> Well, eventful day. :)
15:39 <willcooke> :) shall I pass topic back to you?
15:39 <qengho> Nah. That's enough.
15:40 <willcooke> thx
15:40 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
15:40 <willcooke> * Wrote up a blueprint for accessibility profile improvements: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-x-improved-a11y-profiles
15:40 <willcooke> * Started to make notes on the profile manager library API, its scope, etc.
15:40 <willcooke> * More upstream Speech DIspatcher work.
15:40 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter
15:40 <willcooke> hey tkamppeter, sorry I missed you out last week
15:40 <tkamppeter> - cups-browsed: Added several new features to get them in before Feature Freeze for Wily:
15:40 <tkamppeter> o Default printer handling based on CUPS notifications and cache files. This way we do not need to keep a cups-browsed-generated queue when the server goes away or on cups-browsed shutdown.
15:40 <tkamppeter> o Letting equally named CUPS queues of different remote servers form a local cluster, a so-called "implicit class". Printing to this cluster makes the jobs get equally distributed to all remote queues (load-balancing). This is the same behavior as CUPS used to have when it did its own CUPS broadcasting and browsing. Before, cups-browsed did only fail-over with equally-named remote queues.
15:40 <tkamppeter> o Added LDAP support as CUPS formally had.
15:40 <tkamppeter> - Bugs.
15:40 <willcooke> thanks tkamppeter
15:41 <qengho> "formerly" or "formally"?
15:41 <tkamppeter> formerly.
15:42 <willcooke> #topic Trevinho
15:42 <Trevinho> * Not full week yet (I'm done now :))
15:42 <Trevinho> * Done some experiments with Gtk css to improve Overlay Scrollbars
15:42 <Trevinho> * Got a first working version of GNOME-style unity dash Scrollbars
15:42 <Trevinho> * Prepared a list of branches to backport to trusty as SRU
15:42 <Trevinho> * Tested landing-silo with next unity, found AP broken. Spent some time on debugging it
15:42 <Trevinho> * Prepared an xpathselect gcc5-rebuild branch (silo'ed), that is enough to get AP back working in wily
15:42 <Trevinho> * Fixed tons of AP tests and currently improving the stability of some unstable ones (and tests refactoring)
15:42 <Trevinho> * Running them again (really, it takes ages! -_-)...
15:42 <Trevinho> * Code reviews
15:42 <willcooke> thanks Trevinho
15:43 <willcooke> #topic robert_ancell
15:43 <willcooke> - Released LightDM 1.15.3
15:43 <willcooke> - Released simple-scan 3.17.90
15:43 <willcooke> - Merges and general packaging updates
15:43 <willcooke> #topic any other business
15:43 <willcooke> I've started a thread on the bug squad mailing list describing what we might do for U7, Compiz etc bugs:
15:43 <willcooke> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugsquad/2015-August/004953.html
15:43 <willcooke> Have a look and add any comments you would like
15:44 <willcooke> I'll wait until the end of the week for more feedback and then we can discuss the best route forward at the meeting next week
15:45 <willcooke> Spoke to Community team about it at their weekly meeting last week as well, so we can get some support for organising some kind of virtual event around it
15:45 <willcooke> There is some work going on with the Ubuntu font as well, but I will wait for Laney to be back at his desk before we try and resolve it once and for all
15:46 <willcooke> Sounds like hotel issues are resolved for DebConf
15:46 <willcooke> Any more for any more?
15:47 <willcooke> wrapping the meeting in 1 min....
15:47 <andyrock> nope
