I could also take a look at it, since I know many teams might be at capacity due to FF 20:06 Either way, for now carrying over! 20:07 #action seb128 to follow-up with ubuntu cinnamon on 24.04 request 20:07 * meetingology seb128 to follow-up with ubuntu cinnamon on 24.04 request 20:07 * sil2100 vorlon to look into scripting for packages in flavor-specific overlays 20:07 vorlon: ^ ? 20:07 sorry, not yet done 20:07 I guess time_t..? 20:07 yeah ;) 20:07 time_t ;) 20:07 sil2100, no it's fine but thanks, I will catch up next week :) 20:07 #action vorlon to look into scripting for packages in flavor-specific overlays 20:07 * meetingology vorlon to look into scripting for packages in flavor-specific overlays 20:07 seb128: excellent! 20:07 * sil2100 vorlon to follow up on xnox's request to set noble.publish_i18n_index to False 20:08 done 20:08 vorlon: didn't follow that one too closly - I guess it happened? 20:08 \o/ 20:08 Okay, that's all action items from our list for now 20:08 #topic Scan the mailing list archive for anything we missed (standing item) 20:09 I don't see anything really 20:09 Can someone else confirm that I didn't miss anything? 20:09 Is this the right place to ask about Kubuntu LTS requalification? 20:10 sgmoore: sure! Let me just move to AOB 20:10 #topic Check up on community bugs and techboard bugs 20:10 ...none! 20:10 #topic AOB 20:10 sgmoore: the floor is yours o/ 20:10 I'm not sure whether kubuntu LTS qualification is blocked on me providing scripts for a saner view of the "what packages is kubuntu committing to support" question 20:11 I think given the scale of the Kubuntu packageset, if the TB is wanting to block on a more concise packageset list, then yes. :) 20:11 ML thread "Upload of translation files" -> I just replied to redirect them to ubuntu-translators@. Hopefully that's helpful, though with Gunnar gone I'm not sure who's left :-( 20:11 the thread had gone in that direction but maybe we just need to have that information available and don't need to consider it a blocker? 20:11 I know we need a proper packageset, but other than that, how are we looking :) I am working hard on getting a spectacular release ready :) 20:11 rbasak: :/ 20:13 rbasak, I think I'm the only standing member left to deal with some of those translations things :/ 20:14 I need to sort that out somehow and find other people to involve 20:14 if anyone is reading and want to help with translations please msg me 20:15 sgmoore: so I guess amurray who isn't here today was on point for driving the Kubuntu discussion. I'll work on getting my action item sorted one way or the other so we can have a sane conversation about a packageset. From my perspective personally, that shouldn't be a blocker for LTS qualification but amurray will need to call the vote 20:15 The only thing I can commit to, sadly, is operating the machinery 20:15 seb128: IMHO, you should "close" those MLs and venues and bring everything into one place - ubuntu-devel@, or Discourse. It's not like we're going to be swarmed by traffic. Otherwise everyone assumes that there's a team somewhere that's running just fine. 20:15 vorlon: Fair enough :) 20:16 rbasak, the issue is that those lists are contact point for role-accounts on launchpad 20:17 sgmoore: out of curiosity, maybe composing a list of packages that you and your team worked on in the last 6 months when working on Kubuntu would be a start 20:17 I only just started back with Kubuntu a few weeks ago. 20:17 rbasak, I could set e.g devel but that doesn't resolve the issue than in practice the only admin in the team able to do the action is me 20:18 (or maybe launchpad admins or some other admin groups, I don't remember the details and didn't go check) 20:18 sgmoore: I'll happily walk through UDD with you if you find it helpful :) 20:18 I find any new knowledge helpful lol 20:19 Okay, will follow up with you after the meeting 20:19 sounds good thanks! 20:20 Okay, any other business? 20:21 Out of curiosity, with part of my release team hat on... 20:22 nothing from me 20:22 Does anyone have contact with the Ubuntu Mate developers? 20:22 sort of 20:23 it doesn't appear they've applied yet for 24.04 LTS qual 20:23 Just asking since I noticed they were a bit absent from .4 20:23 Anyway, guess that's not a TB-topic per-se 20:24 #topic Select a chair for the next meeting 20:24 I will give a ping to Martin just to ask 20:25 ...okay, how is this chair selection working 20:25 Since none of the sorting of TB members results in the current order for me 20:25 https://launchpad.net/~techboard/+members lists you last and Alex next after wrapping around 20:26 sil2100, you got rescheduled for missing your previous chair so that confused the logical order 20:26 Yes, so how come rbasak was the backup today 20:26 Aaah 20:26 :) 20:26 Okay, so next chair will be amurray, backup rbasak 20:27 Thank you everyone! 20:27 #endmeeting
