Agenda

  • Begin Meeting Call to order in #ubuntustudio-devel at 7pm (19:00) UTC June 13 2010 Note attendees

  • Agenda amendments

  • LV2 Packaging: continue LV2 packaging plan - UbuntuStudio/TaskLV2Inclusion might focus on getting these into Debian first quadrispro has already commented he wanted to do the vocoder, perhaps he can help with others any others with packaging experience and want to help? can Debian Multimedia Team also help?

  • JACK2 / Pulse Audio Integration: this is looking good already because JACK2 is in Debian already (per TheMuso on IRC) TheMuso is apparently tracking this crimsun, TheMuso, and persia have talked on IRC about how to proceed and might discuss this at UDS with Free

  • Network Manager user's troubles was a bug in gnome-network-admin that left options not shown or changeable Ricardo (rlameiro) reported it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/570828 how soon can a fix be expected for users? Is it possible to do a ISO re-spin, if the bug is corrected? however, we still might consider testing NetworkManager again whatever the decision going forward, we should document it and post to the -user mailing list

  • Ubuntu Studio Controls Update and Redesign update ubuntustudio-controls for rtpri and memlock settings JACK now handles rtpri and memlock in /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf see http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau/2010/3/5/166428 for background Ricardo (rlameiro) is proposing a redesign of ubuntustudio-controls see UbuntuStudio/ControlsRedesign rtirq script for avoid irq conflicts (especially for firewire) enable Ubuntu Studio PPA for -rt kernels and "backported" applications install -lowlatency/-preempt/-rt kernel from PPA install ubuntu-restricted-extras user in audio group (perhaps check box to add and remove) remove nice setting? see: http://www.pubbs.net/201003/linuxaudio/10007-re-lau-changing-for-editing-etcsecuritylimitsconf-in-debiantesting-ubuntu-lucid.html is there anything else someone probably does routinely to a Ubuntu Studio install that we could incorporate?

  • Ubuntu Studio Applications Backporting discussion between John Dong and myself after Jussi poked me: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2010-May/002364.html John suggested using "official" Ubuntu Studio backporting PPA because: it's like kubuntu it allows us to maintain control it doesn't overload the already overworked backports team provides proving grounds that backported apps have quality then can be included in official Ubuntu backports repository if we don't want to use Ubuntu Studio backports PPA then we need small group to test and provide vocal feedback in backport bugs

  • Update Website good summary of previous discussion at UbuntuStudio/Sandbox#Notes%20from%20IRC%20Logs a good direction appears to be using Word Press detrate is really engaged with this task, we should focus on supporting him you can find the available information at UbuntuStudio/TaskWebRevamp

  • Reduce Delta Between Ubuntu Studio and Debian information about this can be found at: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/multidistrotools/ubuntustudio.html push patches back to Debian Multimedia where applicable for the local changes this would reduce work for Ubuntu Studio team because hopefully the packages will autosync in future releases see: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/multidistrotools/ubuntustudio.html#sameversionbutlocalinB see: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/multidistrotools/ubuntustudio.html#outdatedandlocalinB this will also hopefully increase and improve our relationship with the Debian Multimedia Team (note: quadrispro is a member)

  • Testing Procedures in order to help (and encourage) our users to test we should develop testing procedures since stochastic is lead of ubuntustudio-testers group can he help develop procedures ScottL offers to assist develop the procedures and document it on help.ubuntu.com

  • Ubuntu Studio Documentation establish uses for help.ubuntu.com vs. wiki.ubuntu.com suggested direction: help.ubuntu.com is community facing documentation wiki.ubuntu.com is for developers and contributors to organize for release document this decision and email users

  • Call to order in #ubuntustudio-devel at 7pm (19:00) UTC June 13 2010
