Information about MeetBot at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology 20:08 Available commands: action, commands, idea, info, link, nick 20:08 #topic Action review 20:08 - seb128 to organize meetings about the snapd SRU exception 20:08 done 20:08 awesome 20:08 it's on Thursday 20:08 - teward to follow up with "who can vote" and documentation at https://ubuntu.com/community/governance/technical-board with the CC (carried over) 20:08 presumably we carry this over 20:09 #action teward to follow up with "who can vote" and documentation at https://ubuntu.com/community/governance/technical-board with the CC (carried over) 20:09 * meetingology teward to follow up with "who can vote" and documentation at https://ubuntu.com/community/governance/technical-board with the CC (carried over) 20:09 - rbasak to follow up on the list with the TB decision on the current "SRU Exception for transitional hardware enablements" 20:09 That was done, right? 20:09 yeah, although of course this got somewhat revisited in the last meeting? 20:09 https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2026-February/003095.html 20:09 Yes 20:09 i guess that falls into aob though 20:09 I believe we're now waiting on a specific case to consider, with details. 20:10 I gave juliank a specific list of details I'd like to know to reconsider for a specific case. 20:10 (i would not trust myself to accurately summarize the conclusion of that discussion, unfortunately) 20:10 anyway we should talk about that later, if at all 20:11 only one action carried over, sounds like a new record 20:11 #topic snapd SRU exception request 20:11 (i'm exceedingly late because i'm stuck in a car and can barely get a signal) 20:11 My summary would be: we've agreed to consider very specific, narrow scoped exceptions, expecting a very small number, and still requiring various mitigations, such as "latest LTS only". 20:11 However we have no decision to make unless/until such a specific case is presented to us. 20:11 * juliank still needs to talk to people 20:11 Sure, that's fine I think. 20:12 But in the meantime I don't think there's any value in the TB considering anything open. 20:12 (for discussion) 20:12 ok 20:12 is there still stuff to talk about about the snapd sru exception? 20:12 I don't think so - pending TB+SRU+snapd finding something that works, which we'll do in a high bandwidth discussion as scheduled this week by seb128 (thanks!) 20:13 ok let's just drop this from the agenda unless / until it bubbles up again 20:13 I don't think so, the meeting is on Thursday (but at a time that probably doesn't work you mwhudson, 12utc which I think is 1am for you?) 20:14 seb128: yeah that would be 1am for me 20:14 +1 for dropping it 20:14 #topic Scan the mailing list archive for anything we missed (standing item) 20:14 i don't see anything, just the mail from rbasak about kubuntu requalification 20:15 #topic Check up on community bugs and techboard bugs (standing item) 20:15 i don't see any activity here either 20:16 #topic Select a chair for the next meeting (next from https://launchpad.net/~techboard/+members) 20:16 i can't make the next meeting 20:16 i can 20:16 i'll take it since i was SUPPOSED to be here today but am stuck in the crap 20:16 as i will be here https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/east-coast/places/te-urewera/things-to-do/huts/panekire-hut/ 20:17 rbasak, seb128: who wants to be backup? 20:17 Sure 20:18 we usually would go in team order so that would be rbasak, but I'm also fine doing it 20:18 mwhudson, looks like a nice place, enjoy! :) 20:18 #info next meeting chair teward, backup rbasak 20:18 #topic AOB 20:18 requalification> you reminded me of https://matrix.to/#/!TzV7Luie5oZwflLoACJWqHXAQ3DK3LolTaufXWt0V4k/$83KiYj9K96VX24kBcHIyYo7mdAyLDZfFuiUel-H9GbI?via=ubuntu.com&via=matrix.org&via=matrix.debian.social - just FYI, unless you disagree 20:18 gosh matrix links 20:19 oh right yes that seems fine 20:19 -links 20:19 +1 also from me 20:19 +1 also from me 20:19 I can't even open that url but I remember the channel backlog :) 20:20 #info TB agrees that no TB input is required on release team decision to not release a flavor 20:20 stupid element.io gives me an error page telling me that element is already open in another tab 20:20 I'd really like a static web page based log of Matrix channels that are important to Ubuntu :-/ 20:21 would be nice indeed 20:21 #subtopic Ubuntu policy import (mwhudson) 20:21 i mean... creating a *logging bot* is easy xD 20:21 ... doing it in a **safe manner** that everyone can agree on? hard as heck 20:21 There was a brief discussion here: https://matrix.to/#/!YvCpywcRdBQt9ncwXZhTSHQKLoEHkqlk_kA7pxXXEls/$XExKIa6F8jpKO9PcZ8swD6SBQzoQSJIg25YmFg0Teqk?via=matrix.org&via=ubuntu.com&via=xentonix.net (sorry, you get the fun of these links again) 20:21 esp. with current legal crap 20:21 (just sayin) 20:22 https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-project-docs/pull/446 is the PR 20:22 i guess i can't quite remember why i put this on the agenda, i guess i just wanted us all to be aware of it 20:22 Ah I'd been meaning to look at this, but hadn't got round to it. 20:23 It all sounds fine. I did wonder if we could get the history of ubuntu-policy changes into the branch being merged in, like we did for the others. 20:23 robert wants to merge more or less as is and go from there but i need to look at it again with that POV in mind, i guess i'm only happy doing that if it has a huge disclaimer that it's WIP 20:23 I've seen it but it's a long one and I didn't have the bandwith to review it 20:24 i guess we could give ourselves an action to try to spend at least a little time looking at this before the next meeting? 20:24 +1 20:25 #action all to spend some time looking at https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-project-docs/pull/446 20:25 * meetingology all to spend some time looking at https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-project-docs/pull/446 20:25 and then maybe also let a comment saying that we will do that in the next week so Robert knows that it's not blocked forever 20:25 We can try. I appreciate the efforts to bring these into the general docs. Unfortunately it's a large change, might be significant (because it sets policy) and therefore difficult to review :-/ 20:25 i can do that 20:25 somehow I was not notified on the ping list for that xD 20:25 i'll add some comments as i review 20:26 (as in i'll post a comment on the PR that the TB will look over the next week or two) 20:26 ok, was there anything else? 20:27 not from me 20:27 I'm good thanks 20:28 ok great, talk to you later (next meeting but one is release week i think??) 20:28 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.4.0 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
