any ideas? discourse / wiki? 20:07 <seb128> either is fine I think 20:08 <seb128> people seem to prefer discourse nowadays 20:08 <amurray> ok - will go with that then - thanks 20:08 * amurray seb128 to follow-up with ubuntu cinnamon on 24.04 request 20:08 <seb128> great :) 20:08 <amurray> oops forgot to carry over the other one 20:08 <amurray> #action seb128 to continue working with SRU, AA, Release, Backporters and Security teams to document their membership process and link to it from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TechnicalBoard#Team_Delegations 20:08 * meetingology seb128 to continue working with SRU, AA, Release, Backporters and Security teams to document their membership process and link to it from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TechnicalBoard#Team_Delegations 20:09 <seb128> please carry this one also over again but I will handle it tomorrow, feature freeze and proposed stated had been time sinks 20:09 <amurray> #action seb128 to follow-up with ubuntu cinnamon on 24.04 request 20:09 * meetingology seb128 to follow-up with ubuntu cinnamon on 24.04 request 20:09 * amurray vorlon to look into scripting for packages in flavor-specific overlays 20:09 <vorlon> sorry, haven't gotten to this yet 20:10 <vorlon> I guess if we're voting yes on Kubuntu now it's not urgent? 20:10 <vorlon> but I would still like to keep the action, to do before 24.04, unless someone else wants to learn about this stuff from me and work on it 20:10 <amurray> not urgent but I would still like to see them finalise their list before the LTS goes out 20:10 <vorlon> indeed 20:11 <amurray> hmm also should there be an action item on me for the kubuntu LTS request? 20:11 <amurray> I don 20:11 <amurray> 't see anything - will add one 20:11 <amurray> #action amurray to follow-up with kubuntu on 24.04 LTS request 20:11 * meetingology amurray to follow-up with kubuntu on 24.04 LTS request 20:12 <amurray> #topic Scan the mailing list archive for anything we missed (standing item) 20:12 <amurray> #link https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2024-March/thread.html 20:12 <amurray> nothing new 20:12 <amurray> #topic Check up on community bugs and techboard bugs 20:12 <amurray> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-community/+bugs?field.assignee=techboard 20:12 <amurray> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/techboard 20:13 <amurray> nothing here either 20:13 <amurray> #topic Select a chair for the next meeting (next from https://launchpad.net/~techboard/+members) 20:13 <amurray> looks like its rbasak with seb128 as backup 20:13 <amurray> #agreed next meeting chair: rabask, backup: seb128 20:13 <meetingology> AGREED: next meeting chair: rabask, backup: seb128 20:14 <seb128> ack 20:14 <amurray> #topic AOB 20:14 <vorlon> one item for AOB 20:14 <vorlon> I noticed when doing a "census" from the Release Team side of our LTS qualifications 20:14 <vorlon> that Ubuntu MATE doesn't appear to have applied yet for LTS status 20:14 <vorlon> does someone want to reach out to them and find out if they plan to? 20:14 <seb128> right, that was discussed yesterday during the flavors sync call 20:14 <vorlon> (it's fine if they don't do LTS, of course) 20:15 <vorlon> seb128: oh ok - what's the news? 20:15 <seb128> someone took an action item to reach to Martin to ask 20:15 <seb128> but the few people who had feedback said that the MATE team seems mostly inactive recently 20:16 <vorlon> ok 20:16 <seb128> ah, someone was Mauro 20:16 <vorlon> that's fine then 20:16 <seb128> (just checked the meeting note) 20:16 <vorlon> I just didn't want this to slip by unnoticed 20:16 <amurray> there is a topic over in their discourse but I don't see anything definitive there 20:16 <vorlon> since the MATE team's communications preferences seem misaligned with the Release Team's and the Tech Board's these days 20:16 <amurray> #link https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/plans-for-24-04-lts/27110/4 20:17 <seb128> amurray, right, I think that one was used as a basis for the claim that the dev team isn't responsive/around much recently 20:19 <amurray> I'll ask in that thread as well and tag Martin as well 20:19 <seb128> amurray, thanks (and maybe check first with Mauro if he already did since he took an action about it yesterday) 20:19 <seb128> well I mean reaching out to them 20:20 <seb128> though I guess a public post wouldn't hurt in any case 20:20 <vorlon> Martin *did* come to the Ubuntu Summit so it's not entirely moribund? 20:20 <amurray> yeah I think its fine for the TB to enquire for our own purposes - it would definitely be a shame for MATE to not be part of the LTS 20:20 <vorlon> again, it's fine if a flavor doesn't want to do LTS support 20:21 <seb128> right, well let's see what they reply 20:21 <vorlon> just don't want to make sure that's a conscious decision (or the outcome of an assessment of the flavor's capacity), not an accident of timing 20:21 <vorlon> s/don't// 20:21 <amurray> agreed 20:21 <amurray> thanks for raising it vorlon 20:22 <amurray> anything else? 20:22 <vorlon> nothing else here 20:22 <seb128> nothing from me 20:22 <amurray> easy - thanks folks 20:22 <amurray> #endmeeting
