15:40 <willcooke> #topic happyaron
15:40 <happyaron> hey
15:41 <happyaron> Mostly getting familiar to current status of network-manager, looking at the bug list, testing existing components, making some updates, etc
15:41 <happyaron> over
15:41 <willcooke> thanks happyaron
15:41 <willcooke> #topic hikiko
15:41 <willcooke> - Tuesday - Monday: on holidays
15:41 <willcooke> - Today:
15:41 <willcooke> 1) submitted the fixes for the scale and expo plugins:
15:41 <willcooke> *
15:41 <willcooke> https://code.launchpad.net/~hikiko/compiz/compiz.scale-bottomYoffset/+merge/293123
15:41 <willcooke> *
15:41 <willcooke> https://code.launchpad.net/~hikiko/unity/unity.scale-launcher-at-the-bottom/+merge/293124
15:41 <willcooke> 2) setup xenial, profiling tools on a vm, started some experiments, also
15:41 <willcooke> installed windows in another vm (but it seems that it's not very
15:41 <willcooke> realistic to try to debug ubuntu on a vm inside a windows vm) :p
15:41 <willcooke> 3) I'm looking at the code that damages regions/rectangles in unityshell
15:41 <willcooke> - I think it needs some fixes
15:41 <willcooke> #topic Laney
15:42 <Laney> have a weird feeling I forgot some stuff in this
15:42 <Laney> • week of doing preliminary stuff
15:42 <Laney> • appstream:
15:42 <Laney> ∘ Get local mirrors set up so that I can test fixes to appstream-dep11 and also bring up the new appstream generator (systemd timer units! woo!)
15:42 <Laney> ∘ Set up backups and initial nagios checks
15:42 <Laney> ∘ Unstick the instance
15:42 <Laney> ∘ Discuss work to transition to new generator (handling existing data, freezing suites)
15:42 <Laney> ∘ Talk about problems with some repos which make appstream not update its stuff, needs fixing on the repos and maybe apt too - it could consider a success anything which isn't a fatal error
15:42 <Laney> • Build a package of gtk 3.20 to see what breaks
15:42 <Laney> ∘ nautilus background rendering; there are some patches from Alberts upstream & in 3.20 but they don't fix it - you get a white background instead (Trevinho you could look at that if you are free at some point)
15:42 <Laney> ∘ much theme stuff
15:42 <Laney> ∘ unity-greeter looks bad, try to start looking at that
15:42 <Laney> ‣ then notice that lightdm --test-mode doesn't work which involved a fix to gnome-keyring
15:42 <Laney> • gnome-keyring from jhbuild doesn't build, fix that too!
15:42 <Laney> • patch pilot
15:42 <Laney> 𔘇
15:43 <willcooke> blimey!  thanks a lot Laney
15:43 <Laney> it's all small stuff
15:43 <Laney> but yw ;-)
15:43 <willcooke> #topic qengho
15:43 <qengho> * Completely drank desrt's GPG kool-aid.
15:43 <qengho> * Chromium v50 release testing.
15:43 <qengho> **  Trusty _uniquely_ is broken. I will need help from a C++ compiler expert, I think.
15:44 <qengho> **  Adding appstream data, yo. Patching upstream to generate it too.
15:44 <qengho> * Snaps
15:44 <qengho> ** Chromium snap SIGILL progress.
15:44 <qengho> ** Booting up a Pandaboard I inheritied.
15:44 <qengho> EOF
15:44 <desrt> qengho: hope it was tasty =)
15:44 <qengho> Yum.
15:44 <desrt> (also: ignore the strange thoughts in your head.  they're probably nothing.)
15:44 <willcooke> thanks qengho
15:45 <willcooke> #topic seb128
15:45 <seb128> • shorter week, thursday was an holiday (though I ended up working half of the day thanks to next item...)
15:45 <seb128> • UOS
15:45 <seb128> • launchpad/e.u.c bugs triage, LTS status seems mostly good though some polish/bugfix is still going to be welcome
15:45 <seb128> • SRUs: accountsservice unwanted auth prompts, file-roller stable update
15:45 <seb128> • some sponsoring
15:45 <seb128> • helped to verify some of the proposed xenial SRUs
15:45 <seb128> • reviewed some u-s-d changes from the oem team which need work, discussed the issue with them a bit more then
15:45 <seb128> • looked at/fixed a missing translation template issue for the touch team
15:45 <seb128> </week>
15:46 <desrt> seb128: did you end up just changing the auth to an unconditional one?
15:46 <seb128> desrt, yes
15:46 <desrt> good
15:46 <seb128> thanks for the input on that :-)
15:46 <willcooke> thanks seb128
