That it for team updates? Seems the discussion iteams were talked about last time, need to rehash still? 20:14 unless it was crashing at startup 20:14 elfy: if i'm not mistaken, jjfrv8 said he also saw it on one of two hw installs 20:14 hr hr :| 20:15 oh one more thing from me 20:15 #info b2 tests - hardware entire and auto-resize are priority if possible 20:16 i *might* be able to run one 20:16 knome: I don't see any reports from jjfrv8 re fails 20:17 elfy, i wasn't the one who said that 20:17 knome: ack 20:17 but i saw jjfrv8 saying that 20:17 well it's not reported as such 20:17 16:06 jjfrv8: Not sure if I have a new bug or not. After 64-bit install, I get a black screen and can't do anything. After power off/on, get a kernel panic screen. 20:17 * skellat checks in rather late for the meeting 20:17 no extra machines for me atm... 20:17 but he didn't report any failures in the tracker 20:17 wait, you saw it as well elfy.. 20:17 aha 20:17 yea saw that 20:18 Same here, bluesabre0. 20:18 but I'm not going to remember all that people say when I'm not here - I'll be working from the tracker :) 20:18 fair engouh 20:18 enough too 20:18 :) 20:18 yeah, i agree, ppl should report their tests 20:19 jack usually reports, so maybe that was some kind of mistake 20:19 knome: yep agreed 20:19 elfy: i don't have an extra computer at the moment, so auto-resize and entire won't be doable for me on hw 20:20 I think if people are seeing lightdm fails in hardware it's really important to note it in the bug 20:20 ochosi: same here - the one I usually use is dead atm 20:21 elfy, i guess one more bug to file against the tracker... notifications per product 20:22 not sure I understand - but we could have 5 mins later if you've time 20:23 Alright, so if there are no objections, I believe we'll move on. 20:23 wfm 20:23 #topic Discussion items 20:23 #subtopic Review and discuss default configuration 20:24 I think thats done and over with... unless there are any other complaints? 20:24 #undo 20:24 Removing item from minutes: SUBTOPIC 20:24 #subtopic QA Incentives 20:24 yeah, that's fine. 20:25 has anyone anything else to add to that discussion? 20:25 Agenda had further discussion on that one, so figured might be. 20:25 qa incentives? 20:25 Nothing at this point from my end so far 20:26 elfy: wanna #info the link to the pad again? 20:26 knome: http://pad.ubuntu.com/QAIncentive 20:26 ochosi: :p 20:26 i think it's a good idea as long as we clearly decide what we will be offering and make sure we have the resources to get those. 20:26 #info http://pad.ubuntu.com/QAIncentive 20:26 well line 39 still needs and answer imo 20:27 just to know how far we would get and how soon we would have to think of new ways to get funding 20:29 i'd say 3-4 cycles. 20:29 depending how much stickers we can get for free during that period 20:29 plus the books 20:30 stickers and books are pretty much immediately available, t-shirts take longer 20:30 yes 20:30 Pursuant to all sorts of US federal regulations, I have to formally stipulate that I am not giving tax advice or tax law counsel with respect to any discussion of financial matters. 20:30 That being said, we do need to ensure that while we do this we do not also create any liabilities for anybody. It may be a small amount of money now but planning ahead is appropriate. 20:30 Besides, can we do some other form of trinket like ink pens in addition to stickers? 20:30 Or even key fobs? 20:31 can add ideas to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Marketing/Projects 20:31 unixstickers.com currently handles the stickers, so if we wanted some other office stuff, we'd need to get a vendor 20:31 but finding high quality vendors is a whole process 20:31 yes, especially considering the shipping can't be $50 to europe. 20:31 or the US. 20:32 That's why I wanted to throw the ideas out there 20:32 yeah, looking at you ubuntu store 20:32 pleia2, do you still have the ping-pong-ball machine? 20:32 I'd be inclined to stick with what we have for the moment and carry on thinking - we can always add later 20:32 weeee, ping-pong balls 20:32 yeah 20:32 as a conclusion, 20:32 i agree 20:32 it's more about recognition in my opinion than what it is physically 20:32 i think it's ok to give away anything as prizes that are official marketing assets 20:33 yes, that 20:33 I do 20:33 you do what? 20:33 have the ping pong ball machine! 20:33 pleia2, then that's one relatively cheap option. 20:33 pleia2: aah 20:33 i can even make custom SVG's with winner names or sth 20:33 not in terms of my time :) and I don't know how to ship them 20:34 pleia2, right, that of course... feel free to opt-out :) 20:34 it's kind of a finicky thing 20:34 pleia2, put in bubble-wrap, ship 20:34 if it breaks, ship again 20:34 :D 20:34 without the needle the second time 20:34 hehe 20:34 haha 20:34 maybe we could look into printing onto balloons :PP 20:35 those would be easier to ship 20:35 not sure he'd like that knome 20:35 not inflated, that is 20:35 But would Mr. Skaggs be okay with being printed on? 20:35 i'm sure he'd do that for the community. 20:35 :) 20:35 :D 20:35 anyway, let's move on 20:35 yep 20:35 #topic Announcements 20:36 #info Beta 2 on the 25th 20:37 if we're lucky 20:37 #info skellat remains on AskUbuntu patrol and even brought up an issue there relative to our flavor: http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/11946/tagging-xubuntu-when-ubuntu-is-meant 20:37 Anyone? 20:37 no announcements from here 20:37 any freezes around the corner? 20:38 nope, not really 20:38 nope 20:38 bluesabre0, I think the Kernel team have one coming up 20:38 Next one is final, so that'll be a bit. 20:38 next freeze is final freeze on oct 16 20:38 heh 20:38 fwiw, 20:38 on october, 9 -> kernel freeze 20:39 #info All affecting freezes are added to the team calendar at http://xubuntu.org/team-calendar/ 20:39 slickymaster, not affecting us 20:39 At least directly. So who's next for the meeting? 20:39 slickymaster 20:40 slickymaster, want to schedule now? 20:40 might be useful to have one next week post beta 20:40 nopes, not yet 20:40 #info Questions that need answering if people are not busy: http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/xubuntu 20:40 elfy, yep. 20:40 #action slickymaster to schedule the next meeting. 20:40 * meetingology slickymaster to schedule the next meeting. 20:41 slickymaster, once you are ready, ping me and i'll add it to the calendar 20:41 thanks knome, but there's no need, I can do it 20:41 nice 20:41 Any objections? 20:41 slickymaster, oki! 20:41 nope 20:42 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
