15:34 <willcooke> ok, so I don't suppose many people have an update other than "went to a sprint".  So I think it would be better if we use this time to see if anyone needs anything before the release

15:35 <willcooke> let's gooooooooo

15:51 <Laney> currywurst saves all
15:51 <Laney> hi I didn't write a nice update this time sorry :(
15:52 <larsu> Laney: not the vegans, alas
15:52 <Laney> I was at the sprint and fixed some stuff, mainly random crashers
15:52 <Laney> and also did some improvements to the sponsor queue which made lots of old merge proposals we missed over time come up
15:52 <Laney> this makes me feel bad :(
15:52 <Laney> it also made the queue crash for a week which dholbach noticed today, that also makes me feel bad
15:52 * seb128 hugs Laney
15:53 <Laney> BUT i fixed it and pitti helped out!
15:53 <larsu> grouphug!
15:53 * Sweet5hark grouphugs as advised.
15:53 * pitti hugs everyone
15:53 <larsu> meetingology: grouphug!
15:53 <meetingology> larsu: Error: "grouphug!" is not a valid command.
15:53 <larsu> pfffffffffff
15:53 <andyrock> :bear:
15:53 <Laney> and this week we're fixing random bugs again, nothing really bad seems to hav ehe happened yet
15:53 <pitti> Laney: shhht, don't say it that loud :)
15:53 <Laney> (sorry my network blipped in the middle of that one)
15:54 <seb128> that's because you were not supposed to say it :p
15:54 <Laney> just pushed that nautilus fix to not crash when browsing some samba stuff
15:54 <Laney> probably will SRU it
15:54 <Laney> another respin coming today!
15:54 <Laney> and jibel pointed this out earlier: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers
15:54 <Laney> i.e. more people should test isos :)
15:55 <Laney> no desktop team in there
15:55 <Laney> that is all
15:55 <seb128> I'm testing, just not bothering with paperwork
15:55 <Laney> reporting bugs in the iso tracker is good
15:55 <seb128> well, I do file bugs and fix things I hit, fixed an ubiquity issue yesterday
15:55 <Laney> people here actually look at those
15:55 <seb128> but point taken
15:55 <Laney> it just makes the little bug icon appear there
15:55 <seb128> right, I just need to learn how to use that site again
15:55 <Laney> oh there's some polkit thing which cyphermox is looking at now too
15:56 * Laney would have to learn too
15:56 <willcooke> Laney, how does one become an ISO tester?
15:56 <Laney> ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
15:56 <desrt> bzzt
15:56 <larsu> download iso, test it
15:56 <Laney> think anyone can?
15:57 <Laney> what happens if you log in to http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ ?
15:57 <willcooke> Registration successful. You are now logged in.

16:03 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
16:04 <willcooke> * Continued accessibility profile work for 16.04, spending most time on implementing a GSettings backend for Orca, and drafting out API/functionality implementation details.
16:04 <willcooke> * Spent a little bit of time fixing packages in universe that FTBFS, mostly speech related, and network-manager-openvpn which I do use on occasion.
16:04 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter
16:04 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: Added mode to cups-browsed which creates local print queues with IP addresses instead of host names, as the phone has local host name resolving problems, most probably as avahi-daemon is not permanently running.
16:04 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: Worked on functionality for cups-browsed to save user-cvhanged options settings on the queues which it generated, so that the options get conserved, when cups-browsed takes down these queues when the remote printers disappear and re-creates them when they re-appear.
16:04 <tkamppeter> - Ubuntu Touch: Discussed problems with printing on the phone: avahi-daemon running on-demand needed, sub-processes from cupsd fail with "command not found".
16:04 <tkamppeter> - Bugs? - Not this time, nothing severe enough to rush into the release.
16:04 <willcooke> thanks tkamppeter
