 15:35 <attente> hi, not much to report. hacked together a click package containing a libertine container with xchat that manages to run under u8, but had to do some hacky workarounds for some problems and am now trying to automate the process

(The password for the blog posts is foo, the lock is temporal because the tutorials are half-done, I ll make them public afterwards) EOF

 15:37 <willcooke> thanks hikiko, this will be an interesting resource to share more widely once you're happy with it

 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]

 15:37 <willcooke> #topic qengho

 15:37 <willcooke> welcome back qengho

 15:38 <qengho> Thanks! I started to type up a summary.

 15:38 <qengho> It's mostly:

 15:38 <qengho> * vacation

 15:38 <willcooke> :)

 15:38 <willcooke> sure thing

 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

 15:48 <willcooke> #endmeeting
