20:11 <seb128> right, it just took me a bit to find the reference to what we need to do there since I'm new to it 20:11 <seb128> it's documented on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecognizedFlavors 20:11 <seb128> 'Guidelines for Tech Board to designate flavor image as LTS' 20:12 <seb128> reading the guidelines I do feel like there is some investigation work to be done to answer the questions for each flavors 20:12 <seb128> I'm not familiar enough with the work happening on those flavors to be able to vote now I think 20:13 <seb128> amurray, sil2100, how do you feel about it? 20:14 <seb128> I'm happy to spend some time on that this week though and follow up on the list with a summary of my 'investigation' for each though if that helps others 20:14 <amurray> so from our side we at least have to do the "Written confirmation from IS" part 20:14 <sil2100> I'm fine with more flavors, should we maybe assign one flavor per one TB member to perform the investigation? 20:14 <sil2100> To spread the workload 20:15 <seb128> I would not say no to share if others have some time to work on that 20:15 <amurray> as far as the flavors themselves go, I am also not very familiar with any of them so I would also be keen to ask a few more questions - particularly around the level of support offered and how big their teams are to handle it plus how many packages they are looking to support 20:17 <amurray> I'm also happy to take a flavor or two 20:17 <seb128> same 20:18 <amurray> #action seb128 to follow-up with ubuntu cinnamon on 24.04 request 20:18 * meetingology seb128 to follow-up with ubuntu cinnamon on 24.04 request 20:18 <amurray> #action sil2100 to follow-up with ubuntu studio on 24.04 request 20:18 * meetingology sil2100 to follow-up with ubuntu studio on 24.04 request 20:18 <amurray> #action amurray to follow-up with edubuntu on 24.04 request 20:18 * meetingology amurray to follow-up with edubuntu on 24.04 request 20:19 <amurray> given robie and steve are out, are we happy to assign one to each of them as well in their absentia? 20:19 <amurray> otherwise I can take another if one of you two are happy to also take a second? 20:19 <seb128> I would rather not assign things to them without asking first, especially that Robie already said he would miss the next meeting 20:20 <seb128> give me a second one 20:20 <amurray> ok thanks seb128 20:20 <seb128> I can always try to trade it with Robie or Steve if needed 20:20 <amurray> #action seb128 to follow-up with ubuntu budgie on 24.04 request 20:20 * meetingology seb128 to follow-up with ubuntu budgie on 24.04 request 20:20 <amurray> #action amurray to follow-up with ubuntu kylin on 24.04 request 20:20 * meetingology amurray to follow-up with ubuntu kylin on 24.04 request 20:20 <seb128> but at least we have an owner who was there to accept the item meanwhile :) 20:20 <amurray> :) 20:21 <amurray> I don't see anything else on the mailing list 20:21 <amurray> #topic Check up on community bugs and techboard bugs 20:21 <amurray> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-community/+bugs?field.assignee=techboard 20:21 <amurray> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/techboard 20:22 <amurray> nothing new here either 20:22 <amurray> #topic Select a chair for the next meeting (next from https://launchpad.net/~techboard/+members) 20:22 <amurray> robie already sent his apologies for the next meeting so will skip him 20:22 <amurray> #agreed next meeting chair: seb128, backup: vorlon 20:22 <meetingology> AGREED: next meeting chair: seb128, backup: vorlon 20:22 <seb128> +1 20:23 <amurray> #topic AOB 20:23 <seb128> none from me 20:23 <amurray> nothing from me either 20:24 <amurray> ok thanks folks 20:24 <seb128> thanks amurray ! 20:24 <amurray> #endmeeting
