20:14 or did that get two weeks 20:14 elfy: i actually wanted to wait for discussion for that one 20:15 anybody else going to apply for tech lead? 20:15 who knows... ;) 20:15 * elfy will just so there is someone else 20:15 oh good 20:15 what is it? 20:15 haha 20:15 ;) 20:15 knome: debian liaison has a week, so thursday... 20:15 ochosi, practically this is "next week", but okay ;) 20:16 i can of course always prematurely announce it if you insist ;) 20:16 go as you please 20:16 there are 3 replies - that's generally about it ;) 20:16 just a thought that popped into my mind 20:16 ochosi: I hear Noskcaj_ wanted that. ;) 20:16 ok, i'll wait one more minute (or two) for further announcements, then i'll carry on 20:17 Unit193, wanted to cheer you? yeah... 20:17 Unit193: that's not how i interpreted his email ;) 20:17 Unit193, What do i want? 20:17 and hi Noskcaj_ :) 20:17 any announcements from you? 20:17 hey ochosi 20:17 Unit193, stop being a slimey amoeba;) 20:17 I'm back? 20:17 welcome 20:17 yay! 20:17 hehe, good announcement :) 20:17 better #info that ;) 20:17 another dictator ruling the project now 20:17 bluesabre: Also, yes, don't set it to confirmed. 20:18 * knome hides 20:18 hehe, he's back and he's off 20:18 just stopping by to say i'm back! bye! :) 20:18 ok, let's carry on... 20:18 oh, I guess confirmed is only for sponsored merges 20:18 #topic Discussion 20:19 #suptopic Mailinglist proposal by knome 20:19 as you all know, we voted on knome's proposal last time 20:19 the result wasn't quite as unanimous as i'd have hoped 20:20 we discussed this outside the meetings and i came to the following conclusion/proposal: 20:20 especially in the light of the ML being rather slow lately and strangely since we started discussing closing the ML the offtopic stuff got reduced, i think we can leave it open for now 20:21 but we try a "two strikes, and you're flagged" model (or X strikes, if ppl have good reasons that 2 is not ok) 20:21 so when somebody sends inappropriate or offtopic stuff à la "Install LibreOffice by default" to the ML 20:21 or something that is a bugreport, or a support request 20:21 ( ^ technically, set the moderation flag for the email address so further mails from that person needs moderation) 20:22 a moderator of the list gets in touch with the "offender" directly and personally 20:22 if the person ignores that and offends again, he/she gets flagged 20:22 good, i don't have to explain flagging anymore, thanks knome :) 20:22 ( ^ messages should also be sent CC to xubuntu-devel-owner@lists.ubuntu.com, so other moderators know it's been dealt with) 20:23 so yeah, that'd be the proposal, and if everyone can live with it, i'd say we try that for at least a month 20:23 generally, this would be a very dynamic policy anway though 20:23 if there's no offtopic stuff, there's nothing to moderate 20:23 but only admins can flag - is that right? 20:23 sounds reasonable to me 20:23 and finally, if you aren't sure, ask other moderators 20:23 if the offtopic stuff takes over, we flag lots of people 20:23 elfy, only owners can flag, that's me and pleia2 atm 20:23 knome: care to list the moderators, so that everyone knows? 20:24 owners are (can set flags): knome, pleia2 20:24 moderators are: elfy, unit193, bluesabre (+owners) 20:25 I'd also appreciate discussion about this, if someone thinks someone is borderline, let me and knome know, I have a tendancy to give folks reams of rope to hang themselves with :) 20:25 sending a mail to xubuntu-devel-owner@lists ... sends a mail to everybody in those two groups. 20:25 i'm the bad cop, pleia2 is the good cop 20:25 and I have a tendency to use very short rope - having other things to do than baby people 20:25 hehe 20:25 but i'll promise to try to be as prompt as possible if people request moderation flags 20:26 also, 20:26 if we're going to be going - ooh shall we, not sure,, mmm 20:26 we should set a policy... 20:26 elfy: I tend to just ignore, because it's "Ubuntu, so gotta give so much rope you lose sight of them." 20:26 then I don't want to be involved in that at all 20:26 when moderator X sends the mail and CC's other owners 20:26 the same moderator should take care of noticing the second strike 20:26 (if at all possible) 20:27 i'd personally prefer if we wouldn't vote on this again, cause it slows things down, if the owners and moderators of the list are ok with this proposal, i'd like to put it in effect now/today 20:27 and i guess once that happens and anybody notices that, send another mail to -owner 20:27 so other moderators know that's it's going to happen, and we owners can act accordingly and add the flag 20:27 if needed, we can document this, i just wanna "get on with it!" and talk about other things :) 20:28 if everybody is happy with the proposal, i can document it under Processes in the wiki today 20:28 sweet, thanks knome 20:28 (i hoped you'd say that ;)) 20:28 but of course! ;) 20:28 pleia2: +1/0/-1? :) 20:28 moderators? 20:28 * elfy can see this getting completely wishy washy 20:28 +1 20:29 if we need to flag loads of people, we can always reassess the need for full moderation. 20:29 exactly 20:29 Policy++ 20:29 I'll just in whichever way gets this moving 20:29 yeah, i can +1 this one as well, but i'll want one from pleia2 too, because this is clearly more work for *owners* then the previous proposal. 20:29 elfy: well there's only one obvious way to get this moving... ;) 20:30 should be ok 20:30 +0 20:30 I'll sit on the fence then ;) 20:30 heh 20:30 we can reassess if it's annoying/awful :) 20:30 fine 20:30 #info The mailinglist will get moderated on a per-offender basis, "two strikes and you're flagged". 20:30 #action knome to describe the -devel ML moderation policy to Processes in the wiki 20:30 * meetingology knome to describe the -devel ML moderation policy to Processes in the wiki 20:31 #action knome will document the new moderation policy against offenders on the wiki 20:31 * meetingology knome will document the new moderation policy against offenders on the wiki 20:31 garr 20:31 :) 20:31 #undo 20:31 thanks 20:31 hmm, only chair can undo 20:31 #undo 20:31 Removing item from minutes: ACTION 20:31 ok, let's move on 20:31 #subtopic Trello 20:32 as it wasnt announced, i thought we could quickly talk about it 20:32 there's a big trello board now that elfy set up 20:32 bluesabre also used it already 20:33 elfy: wanna do a few #infos? 20:33 so my proposal with this one is that we try it out 20:33 it can't really be much worse than the launchpad blueprints in terms of up-to-dateness 20:33 :) 20:33 try it for one cycle and then re-assess how it helped us and what would be needed for it to work better 20:34 #info Unit193 set up a Trello bot for interaction with the board from within IRC. 20:34 does that need a trello account? 20:34 unfortunately yes 20:34 or how's the interaction done 20:34 Unit193: further infos on that? will it always reside in a different channel? how does it work? 20:35 there's currently 5 team members not there - knome, skellat, michah, lionel and jackson 20:35 2 of those are not about for sure anyway 20:36 has anyone talked to skellat lately? how long is he MIA? 20:36 * knome has been slacking 20:36 ochosi, probably not getting back very son 20:36 *soon 20:36 ochosi: from what I saw - another cycle 20:36 actually micah mentioned that he got promoted at work, so he's busier than before 20:36 which begs the question - if missing for 2 cycles 20:37 don't wanna jump to conclusions, but i don't think he (=micahg) will be around much during U 20:37 elfy: you mean wrt team membership status? 20:37 ochosi: I got that impression 20:37 ochosi: yea 20:37 right, iirc knome did something before leaving me this moldy chair that ii'm currently residing on 20:38 something with respect to team membership running out if there are no contributions for X cycles 20:38 ochosi, whatever you do, don't smell it! 20:38 i haven't done very strict cleaning. 20:38 but i don't remember whether the policy was put into place or just thought about 20:38 "Anyone with no contributions for more than a complete cycle (6 months) should deactivate themself from the team as well as all subteams and reapply if/when they are willing to rejoin. " 20:38 i've asked some people whether they think they will continue contributing 20:38 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/StrategyDocument#Xubuntu_Team 20:39 by that definition, skellat and mr_pouit should be probably dropped. 20:39 i think mr_pouit did one upload of shimmer-themes in the trusty cycle 20:39 depends now on what you count as "contributing" 20:39 otoh, lionel *has* popped up now and then (and has said that since he really can't follow IRC, it's hard to follow the development generally) 20:39 so it all depends how strictly you want to force that rule 20:40 but yeah, i think it's fair that without contributions, you lose your voting rights for the time being 20:40 i still think it's a good idea to keep that in place. 20:40 knome: he said that in the m/l discussion I think 20:40 ochosi, that's the reason why it is there in the first place 20:40 also if n people are absent, it gets harder and harder to get a quorum 20:40 since they are never around 20:40 yup 20:40 well, "never" 20:41 i think we should ask a few ppl to seize their voting rights then 20:41 just have to take the time to write understanding appreciative emails with the right tone i guess... 20:41 i'd prefer if the people deactivated themself 20:41 knome: +1 20:41 yeah, but we still have to ask them to do it 20:41 sure 20:41 * ochosi wasn't suggesting anything else 20:41 no, no 20:42 though if we ask them, and they don't answer in six months... 20:42 ochosi: It's in read only mode, it's in a different channel as it's not been invited in one of the 'official' channels. 20:42 Unit193: i know, i meant: #info a few infos plz ;) 20:42 * elfy wishes he'd not taken this trello thing offtopic lol 20:42 before we move on, cause trello seems to be going away as a topic atm... 20:43 ochosi, maybe point out that "ex" team members will most probably get their membership back much quicker than new developers 20:43 elfy: yeah... 20:43 knome: yeah, thought of that 20:43 ok, anything else ppl wanna talk about wrt Trello? 20:43 #info Those in -team not yet on the trello access list to get account so they can be added 20:43 ochosi, and that it's not really about excluding them, mostly for practical reasons (because that's how it is) 20:43 #action knome to create a Trello account 20:43 * meetingology knome to create a Trello account 20:43 ochosi: Like? 20:44 #info Whoever has questions to Trello can get in touch with elfy. 20:44 can you undo that please 20:44 Unit193: what did you plan/think the bot would be used for? etc. 20:44 elfy, why does Trello start with T and end with o? 20:44 elfy: awwwwh :) 20:44 #undo 20:44 Removing item from minutes: INFO 20:44 then add slickymaster to it - he knows as much as me :) 20:44 slickymaster, why does Trello start with T and end with o? 20:44 well i think somebody should be the "trello contact", even if i don't think there'll ever be questions 20:44 you can also add the other admin - which is ochosi :p 20:44 :P 20:45 ochosi: If it's useful, how you want, etc. I like IRC, so this makes sense to me. If we want to get more from it, we can. 20:45 ochosi: ok then 20:45 meh, knome made me admin on so many things already... 20:45 pleia2 uses it as well 20:45 anyway, let's carry on if there are no further #infos 20:45 so there are a few of us 20:46 #info Whoever has questions to Trello can get in touch with elfy. 20:46 #subtopic Meeting times during the U cycle 20:46 righty, i quickly wanted to bring that up 20:46 ochosi, did that come as a surprise to you? :P 20:46 conveniently the person who will hold the next meeting isnt here tonight :p 20:47 skip it then 20:47 * ochosi looks at slickymaster 20:47 and select the next one from the list 20:47 this needs to be dynamic:) 20:47 heh 20:47 or get them to do it tomorrow 20:47 well i also didn't announce the next meeting on the day of the previous meeting 20:47 or call them in their phone! 20:47 * knome hides 20:47 don't think that's a huge problem 20:47 then just info that person X does it ;) 20:47 just wanted to give ppl another chance to object (since there were no comments made on it on the ML) 20:48 cycling chairs and times is a great idea. 20:48 +1 20:48 #action slickymaster to announce the next meeting time ASAP 20:48 * meetingology slickymaster to announce the next meeting time ASAP 20:49 though I did just have a thought about this cycling thing - 75% of the leads are EU of some sort :) 20:49 after that it'll be elfy's turn i think 20:49 ochosi: you forget -dev :) 20:49 elfy: yeah, but that hasn't been voted on yet ;) 20:49 elfy, 100% of XPL was EU the last time, wasn't a problem then... 20:49 we also skipped our to-be Debian Liaison 20:49 ochosi: indeed - but it will have been by the time it gets to me :p 20:50 sure, so most likely bluesabre and then elfy 20:50 not that I *really* mind I add 20:50 do we need a list for that or will we make it clear at the end of every meeting who chairs the next one? 20:50 who's gonna update the wiki for the new policy? 20:51 the one who asks? 20:51 ochosi, the list could be in the meetings page comments 20:51 :) 20:51 knome: whoever is in there doing the m/l stuff? 20:51 :P 20:51 * knome sighs 20:51 lol 20:51 knome: in due time, we'll create a wiki-team for you ;) 20:51 #action knome updates the Processes page for the new meeting chair/scheduling policy 20:51 * meetingology knome updates the Processes page for the new meeting chair/scheduling policy 20:51 +1 to having list in meeting page comments 20:52 thanks knome! 20:52 #Action knome adds a list of cycling chairs in the Meetings page 20:52 * meetingology knome adds a list of cycling chairs in the Meetings page 20:52 ok, any other things we wanna discuss? 20:52 * ochosi is through with his topics for tonight 20:52 oh yea 20:53 ah right 20:53 there's one left on the meeting page :D 20:53 sorry elfy 20:53 I only just remembered 20:53 #subtopic Route testing requirements through xubuntu-qa 20:53 elfy: you got the floor 20:53 elfy, show us your best moves 20:53 so - simple enough - if you want something testing - talk to me 20:53 and 20:54 before you talk to me - you can check on trello calendar to see when we can fit things in :) 20:54 :) 20:55 please don't let me wake up to testing calls on the mailing list - I have to keep cleaning tea of the monitor ;) 20:55 hehe 20:55 yeah, I'll behave 20:55 elfy: good you're not drinking substances that are harder to clean off though ;) 20:55 bluesabre: well - you know where the calendar is :) 20:55 ochosi: lol 20:55 any #infos for that? 20:56 ochosi, like oil? 20:56 #info Talk to QA for testing requirements 20:56 elfy: OK, so contact you if/when for -core? 20:56 also, that sounded more like an announcement than a discussion 20:56 #info Check Trello calendar before talking to QA 20:56 or is it just my ears... :> 20:56 ochosi: no - it's the time :) 20:56 heh 20:57 if people want to try and persuade me that they can call for testing at any time - they are welcome to try :) 20:57 Unit193: mmm - as you are in the QA team I'd hope you'd be able to see when we've got space :D 20:58 righty, anything else to "discuss"? :} 20:58 ochosi: we can discuss it if you want - but I'm pretty much sat here with feet in concrete 20:59 nah, i'm fine with this 20:59 :) 20:59 other topics/discussions? 20:59 none from me 21:00 good here 21:01 ok, in that case, thanks everyone! 21:01 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
