Jan 14 15:17:17 <VileGent>    we are catching crap http://lwn.net/Articles/215388/
Jan 14 15:17:39 <VileGent>    we need to post something about the respins being tested IMHO
Jan 14 15:17:53 <VileGent>    i was told to bring this up at the meeting
Jan 14 15:18:44 <Corwyn>    yes, you were
Jan 14 15:18:57 <Corwyn>    give people a chance to read it :)
Jan 14 15:19:10 <StylusEater>    hmm
Jan 14 15:19:15 <StylusEater>    seems as if they're just impatient
Jan 14 15:19:31 <StylusEater>    if they came to the site with any regularity they would see what's been posted, no?
Jan 14 15:19:56 <Corwyn>    we got set back when the server crashed
Jan 14 15:20:09 <BobJensen>    I need to do a better job of posting news to our sites,, this is why I want blogging set up
Jan 14 15:20:21 <kanarip>    and we got set back by GPL compliance issues
Jan 14 15:20:33 <kanarip>    and we got set back by wanting to use pungi / pilgrim
Jan 14 15:20:46 <StylusEater>    then maybe someone could update our front-page real quick while we're all here to reflect the crash and GPL issue?
Jan 14 15:21:01 <BobJensen>    I will check with Jon on that again next time i see him so that if nothing else I can get a link to "bob's blog" on the sites so people know what I am up to as spinmaster
Jan 14 15:21:07 <Corwyn>    VileGent: can you write a small blurb up that we can post to news and get it to Bob and me?
Jan 14 15:21:41 <VileGent>    i will see what i can do
Jan 14 15:21:45 <Corwyn>    thank you

Jan 14 15:22:02 <Corwyn>    daMaestro, welcome
Jan 14 15:22:08 <VileGent>    wait a minute you are the editor around here lol
Jan 14 15:22:09 <BobJensen>    I need to get that car unloaded
Jan 14 15:22:19 <BobJensen>    BBL
Jan 14 15:22:23 <VileGent>    next item
Jan 14 15:22:25 <VileGent>    on the respin front i just tested  the i386 respin upgrade on a fully updated fc5 vm and it passed -- results posted to the testing list
Jan 14 15:22:48 <VileGent>    respins need a test matrix please
Jan 14 15:22:53 <StylusEater>    brb
Jan 14 15:24:43 <VileGent>    jon kanarip  needs access to the testing torrents please
Jan 14 15:24:50 <BobJensen>    HEH!
Jan 14 15:25:17 <BobJensen>    the meeting took long enough that the wife and Kid unloaded the car
Jan 14 15:25:23 *    Corwyn calls for any further business
Jan 14 15:25:29 <BobJensen>    So I will be in the dog house for a week
Jan 14 15:25:30 <daMaestro>    !
Jan 14 15:25:44 *    Corwyn gives daMaestro the floor
Jan 14 15:26:10 <kanarip>    BobJensen, i found scott's script
Jan 14 15:27:21 <daMaestro>    does anyone have any issues with delaying the signing of the iso sha1sum file(s) we publish until it passes testing? what i did for this release was build the torrent, include a sha1sum file, but didn't sign it. this will require a new .torrent to be rolled after the release is approved... it will include the new, signed, sha1sum file... all the iso data can be reused for the new torrent
Jan 14 15:27:52 <BobJensen>    daMaestro: that is fine by me
Jan 14 15:27:57 <Corwyn>    +1
Jan 14 15:27:57 <VileGent>    no problem
Jan 14 15:28:00 <kanarip>    +1
Jan 14 15:28:01 <VileGent>    +1
Jan 14 15:28:06 <daMaestro>    +1
Jan 14 15:28:19 <Corwyn>    daMaestro: you're going to include the disk labels in the iso?
Jan 14 15:28:23 <daMaestro>    Corwyn, yes
Jan 14 15:28:30 <daMaestro>    Corwyn, well... in the torrent
Jan 14 15:28:34 <Corwyn>    only put the iso relevent one
Jan 14 15:28:41 <Corwyn>    ok
Jan 14 15:28:49 <VileGent>    -1
Jan 14 15:29:00 <daMaestro>    VileGent, objections?
Jan 14 15:29:04 <VileGent>    yep
Jan 14 15:29:14 <Corwyn>    we're open floor
Jan 14 15:29:52 <BobJensen>    We have had a slight "naming" change you may have noticed this comes from the automation of the process made with Pungi
Jan 14 15:30:10 <VileGent>    i dont see why we need to put them in the torrent and spend extra bandwidth for the torrent, when we can put them on our website for people who wants them can download
Jan 14 15:30:24 <Corwyn>    we're only talking a few k
Jan 14 15:30:58 <daMaestro>    i don't mind either or
Jan 14 15:31:15 <VileGent>    a few k times 7TB in a couple of days adds up
Jan 14 15:31:16 <Corwyn>    1 label is 127k
Jan 14 15:31:37 <BobJensen>    I don't really care either way, But I do agree with VileGent a few k multiplied by several hundred downloads makes an impact
Jan 14 15:31:39 <VileGent>    when we release the respins we are going to be hammered
Jan 14 15:32:28 <BobJensen>    VileGent: so a normal saturday night for you?
Jan 14 15:32:32 *    BobJensen runs
Jan 14 15:32:35 <BobJensen>    hehehe
Jan 14 15:32:37 <daMaestro>    lol
Jan 14 15:32:44 *    Corwyn calls for any further business
Jan 14 15:32:50 <VileGent>    worng end of the state
Jan 14 15:32:53 <BobJensen>    that was only a joke for the record
Jan 14 15:33:12 <BobJensen>    I have no idea what VileGent does in his spare time
Jan 14 15:33:21 <kanarip>    well maybe i need to clarify my absence these last months?
Jan 14 15:33:22 <VileGent>    op in #fedora lol
Jan 14 15:33:24 *    Corwyn now calls this meeting to a close.  Thanks to all that atteneded this weeks Unity Meeting
