I was wondering why none of the candidates answered the question about the benefits of a diverse developer population and wondered if anyone here could name any. not just sex diversity [07:14:41] sanxiyn: If it's something I'm replying on, I'd compliment them on their English.

[07:30:19] "Smaller, focused lists don't seem to have problem" -- how true is this? [07:30:40] rather. [07:30:43] depends. I have seen some pretty nasty stuff on -kerne [07:30:45] vorlon: Feel free to bug http://dict.leo.org/ :) [07:30:50] sanxiyn: True, although things still do erupt [07:30:53] womble: please be less graphic. [07:30:54] migus: Or we could have a debate and discussion instead of the candidates all patting each other on the back [07:30:55] sanxiyn, it's true! [07:30:56] ie, debian-boot (which is not too small, but is focused) has had one flamewar in the past 2 years. [07:30:57] loevborg: usually I've only needed to search by package and debbugs is adequate for that. bugzilla etc. is just overkill [07:31:03] martin_krafft_, i think this is fine, it will be much more readable later with a bit of cleaning up, but i think this is the best that can be done. [07:31:04] JW is doing a really good job of channeling all attention on him [07:31:08] vorlon: I'm no native speaker, so I can't tell. [07:31:13] martin_krafft_: Answer + Rebuttal Phase! [07:31:13] but yes, larger less focussed groups have higher incidence of heated disagreements [07:31:17] martin_krafft_: Two parts [07:31:20] sanxiyn, look at the "cario graphics" mailing list as an examle.

[07:31:52] jaldhar, I'm not saying bugzilla is the answer (although it is better) [07:32:00] peterS: *L*WN... [07:32:05] joeyh: I really think -boot is special though. It's like a haven of sanity in an insane project [07:32:06] womble: oh, right [07:32:08] but the smaller groups also tend to be more technical, and less likely to deal with objective, far reaching issues [07:32:23] slef: Yeah, there's such a high concentration of useful questions here [07:32:25] Quit Lightning|Zzzz has left this server.

[07:32:41] probaly had a few on -release [07:32:53] womble: you're not helping. [07:33:02] you can't eliminate insults, but you can craft a culture such as that people who are recognised as doing nothing but insulting are either dismissed as arseholes or severely discouraged from doing so [07:33:04] I never was any flamewar on -qa or on -www [07:33:05] womble: That doesn't make plain abuses better, that there doesn't pop up useful questions, you know.

[07:36:31] OK, here's a question for the candidates: Do you feel it is appropriate to delegate new people to a position within Debian without the support of the individuals already delegated, should that need arise? [07:37:27] I think worse than flamewars are low-level frames that last for hundreds of posts [07:37:41] reading Debian lists seems too daunting: [07:37:43] "is not" [07:37:45] <_mordechai> OK this stopped being interesting, Thanks and goodbye!

[07:37:59] I think idealists and utopians will always flame more because they have so much more emotional investment in their arguments [07:38:04] "Implying that the general subscribership of -legal is basically nuts isn't very nice" [07:38:06] Well, I got the impression that some DDs strongly believe that -legal is nuts. [07:38:10] (was it Sven Luther?) [07:38:17] jaldhar: no, they will not [07:38:24] jaldhar: that defines free software contributors [07:38:25] Part sugarmice has left this channel.

[07:38:55] Manoj: that's why "be nice" will never work in Debia [07:39:08] sanxiyn: hell no. legal is pretty decent for performing analysis of licenses [07:39:10] sanxiyn: Among others [07:39:34] sanxiyn, -legal is very useful. some of it's analysis just aren't popular. this isn't their fault, it's the project's for being inflexible. [07:39:36] sanxiyn: indeed, they are our domain experts, such as we have, on those issues [07:39:38] Manoj: I just claimed that sizeable number of developers believe otherwise (regardless of fact) [07:39:47] The problem isn't -legal's legal advice, it's -legal's DFSG interpretation [07:40:12] sanxiyn: and I am saying that is not a fact -- depending on how you define "sizable" [07:40:21] Okay. [07:40:22] sanxiyn, we voted in favour of a few GRs that say otherwise. [07:40:27] sweet, MatthewGarrett banned JW from -women?

And some of what appears to be the majority consensus of -legal I disagree with [07:43:02] He's acting like he's got parliamentary privilege already... yeesh...

[07:45:01] * gravity waits for vorlon's head to explode [07:45:24] kylem: he shares many patterns with contested, yet popular politicians [07:45:27] "guaranteed in the Canadian constitution" [07:45:29] * womble directs his evil mind powers at vorlon... [07:45:38] enrico: You got that right [07:45:44] enrico, i'm thinking of one. [07:45:56] enrico, and given a thread on -private a year ago (or so) find it pretty damned funny. [07:46:26] Makes for an interesting case study [07:46:30] "dead delegate"? [07:46:38] Oh man... I should go back and read that. I only saw the -project thread [07:46:43] you know, I've been thinking about the "being insulted on the mailing list" bit. Vorlon once chastized me for being wounded far too easily in discussions, and I think that is a valid point. reacting with wounded dignity can escalate a discussion into a raging flame far faster than just carrying on.

[07:48:20] Manoj, "(1) Parliament or the legislature of a province may expressly declare in an Act of Parliament or of the legislature, as the case may be, that the Act or a provision thereof shall operate notwithstanding a provision included in section 2 or sections 7 to 15 of this Charter." [07:48:22] * joeyh would love to learn who put that BS on www.d.o [07:48:27] joeyh: :-) [07:48:31] joeyh: that was bruces idea, was it not? [07:48:40] "universal means different things to different people." in other words, there is no universal definition of universal. cute. [07:49:11] kylem: uymm, this is too late at night for me to understand language like that [07:49:12] A few years ago we were known for our easy install too? When was this? [07:49:14] Part snakeru has left this channel. () [07:49:16] Probably well before my time [07:49:25] Probably when Debian had 1 package [07:49:27] mmm, do you think candidates will continue for a while here after the official debate? [07:49:30] some of them, at least? [07:49:31] gravity: post SLS. [07:49:35] dato: possibly [07:49:41] Hm, didn't know XSF's repository server ran unstable. [07:49:45] gravity: yeah, mid-90s it was an easy install compared to the alternatives [07:49:45] Manoj: Yeah... a little before me [07:49:45] when I installed debian, it was the easiest install around [07:49:47] Manoj, the canadian government, either federal or provincial, can declare that a part of our bill of rights is inactive by act of parliament. [07:50:24] kylem: oh. no constitutional amendment required? [07:50:26] Manoj: Oh, so there was such time... [07:50:34] Manoj, correct. [07:50:47] Question for candidates: In what way do you think Debian can honor the labor contributions of non-DDs who do significant work for the project (e.g. translators)? [07:50:58] Manoj: it makes an exception for 5 years, with renewal necessary if it is to be continued [07:51:29] hacim: improvement have been made through the nm- proccess [07:51:33] hacim: Well, there are also enough people maintaining (sometimes important) packages and in NM... [07:51:35] Manoj, kylem: and to the best of my non-canadian knowledge, the politicians are pretty much loath to use that power, and the few times it has happened it has been undone [07:51:40] hacim: good question. in other words, how to take some of the wind out of the mythos that a @debian.org address is the only achievement one should be striving for [07:51:43] Hydroxide, well duh. [07:51:52] Hydroxide, how many times has the US declared martial law? :) [07:52:05] Hydroxide, the only time i can think of was the FLQ crisis in 196X [07:52:07] peterS: Getting mentioned on the changelog? :-) [07:52:24] kylem: well, even without your notwithstanding clause, I think basic freedoms are greater in canada than the US right now [07:52:27] kylem: Doesn't need such a declaration to suspend lots of rights [07:52:28] * joeyh notices that he now has a space-bar reflex to pause noninteractive things he's watching.. like debates [07:52:28] pity it doesn't work, didn't someone mention breaks? [07:52:32] Hydroxide, you don't typically get to be government for long when you revoke rights of your citizens. ;-) [07:52:32] sanxiyn: yeah, that's status quo. I'd agree with hacim that more public acknowledgement of people who do the work would be nice [07:52:45] Join XinmingLai_ has joined this channel. (XinmingLai@60.180.94.242) [07:52:52] sanxiyn: I'm talking about people who contribute to heavily to the project but aren't considered "part of debian" [07:52:56] Hydroxide, that's true. you're guaranteed more in the charter. [07:53:08] smurfix, yeah. [07:53:10] kylem: I don't think it's been declared nation wide in quite some time... in specific areas it may have been implemented. [07:53:32] hacim: I know people in the situation you are describing. [07:53:33] I thought everyone credited their translators in the changelogs [07:53:36] dondelelcaro, i'm having a hard time thinking of any time where it would have been (but i've never taken a US history class) :) [07:53:41] * enrico goes to work [07:53:42] joeyh: we've had the break that was mentioned [07:53:58] gravity: I think peterS is saying that something more than changelog mention may be motiviating.

Hell, even Simon Law was on there for a whiel [07:54:46] gravity, only when we fuck shit up. :) [07:54:50] hacim: Oh. [07:54:54] kylem: Right :-) [07:55:07] hacim: is that so hard to join the project and maintaining a few packages ? [07:55:13] WOOHOO to DWN Features! [07:55:31] hacim: they should get @scc.debian.org addresses [07:55:31] Quit TCW has left this server. (Remote closed the connection) [07:55:32] hacim: I think that's a sensible suggestion. Could you raise it on debian-project@lists? [07:55:33] gravity: ? [07:55:34] migus: Yes, currently. [07:55:47] wtf [07:55:51] translators getting email addresses? [07:55:59] slef: I'd suggested adding feature articles (tutorials and such) to DWN to make it more than just the weekly news [07:56:01] migus: Is that so hard to not force everyone who wants to contribute something to maintain a package? [07:56:05] slef: It's cool to see someone else with the idea [07:56:05] i agree they are important and should be recognized, but that's kind of extreme. [07:56:20] Rhonda: you are right :) [07:56:22] kylem: I think GNOME project gives translators CVS commiting right. [07:56:24] Yeah... easy access to projects via alioth should be plenty [07:56:30] kylem: should they be full developers instead? [07:56:38] Quit nota has left this server. (Client Quit) [07:56:39] sanxiyn: Well, that doesn't need an @debian.org [07:56:50] Manoj, why would they need to be, if we're just giving them a mail alias. [07:56:57] kylem: It's a sensible thing to do. They contribute quite often _MUCH MORE_ than $joe_random Debian Developer. [07:57:03] Rhonda: it was raised at the last debconf some, but it would be good to bring it up again for discussion [07:57:11] Rhonda, it's only an issue if you don't speak english. ;-) [07:57:41] Quit xjzzx has left this server. (Remote closed the connection [07:57:44] How would someone go through NM completely anonymously? [07:57:48] essentially the question comes down to when should some one be enfranchised in debian [07:57:56] Rhonda, i also think $joe random loser needs to be expunged for the project if they're not contributing. [07:58:20] Rhonda, maybe the best thing is to take ubuntu's dealie for translations when it's ready to be free. [07:58:23] so JW to NM, now. [07:58:30] he agreed to it.

(Remote closed the connection) [07:59:04] The AM couldn't know, so a couple of other DDs would have to sign the fake key [07:59:06] womble: Good point. [07:59:07] womble: actually, rather easily... since you could sign your fake key... [07:59:22] dondelelcaro: But you need other sigs and such to pass ID check now [07:59:24] a developer who maintainns a package has stood up and taken responsibility for a fraction of the finished product; in units that the product is distributed and tracked in: a package. [07:59:25] ooo, this is a fun question [07:59:30] womble: I think it's not possible to pass anonymously in sane way. [07:59:49] bab: Yeah. This is the best one yet :-) [07:59:50] fwiw, there are jokes that I'm a "virtual" personna of jordi. [08:00:01] although, in most cases, you can go through the NM templates yourself, and ask an AM if you have specific questions. [08:00:03] this isn't really a fair question, although I want to see what JW's answer is [08:00:04] Not to mention that you'd have to maintain packages or do something else useful as your pseudonym in order to get through. [08:00:04] martin_krafft_: too late for another question? [08:00:06] because only he knows me IRL, nobody else. [08:00:07] dato: Are you? [08:00:08] try it. [08:00:11] vorlon: ^^ [08:00:20] martin_krafft_: what do you believe is the minimum level of activity that should be expected from DDs? [08:00:23] dato: Me being accused of being Joey (Schulze). :) [08:00:27] sanxiyn: the answer will always be, 'no!' [08:00:27] GO GUS! [08:00:36] gravity +1 [08:00:44] Rhonda, i'm sorry, now that i reflect on it, mail alias + voting would probably be a good idea for high volume translators. [08:00:54] AngusLees++ for honesty, -- for diplomacy [08:01:04] kylem: :) [08:01:11] best moment in the debate goes to angus [08:01:12] slef: heh [08:01:18] Part adamhall has left this channel. () [08:01:25] Rhonda, a metric would need to be established for keeping people active though, since it would be fairly easy for a translator to do say a 100, get their alias, then fade to obscurity. [08:01:44] hmm, andreas didn't answer did he? [08:02:13] kylem: Yes, translator continuity is a problem indeed. [08:02:15] more interestingly, JW didn't [08:02:16] Rhonda: I'd be a little wary about the voting though, unless they had gone through the P&P part of NM, though. [08:02:22] kylem: You mean... Like people coming in with a package and doing no upload after they got their account? :) [08:02:24] hmm, yes [08:02:29] kylem: It's not like that isn't happening. [08:02:31] martin_krafft_: *should* expect from DDs, not *can* expect from DDs [08:02:32] Rhonda, yes, exactly. [08:02:53] dondelelcaro: indeed, it's not like P&P is discriminatory against people who can't hack it as real maintainers [08:02:53] Rhonda, granted, i don't think anyone should lose their mail alias ever. voting priviledge should definitely be tied to activity though. [08:03:01] (i'm annoyed when i lose email aliases. ;) [08:03:01] as opposed to T&S [08:03:07] vorlon: sorry... i suck. [08:03:07] martin_krafft_: can you ask JW and Andreas to answer, perhaps, the who would you vote question? [08:03:09] dondelelcaro: DPL voting, at least. Might be discussed about technical issues, granted. [08:03:10] aw, no real discussion on that point anyway, alas. [08:03:20] Part nobse has left this channel. () [08:03:25] martin_krafft_: it's ok, the candidates' answers would probably have been lame anyway :) [08:03:29] vorlon: tail-end. [08:03:43] Rhonda: yeah, the technical issues and changing project directions are the real things I'm worried about... [08:03:45] I try to make a point of detecting inactive people before they actually hurt the project by neglectance of packages... [08:03:52] martin_krafft_: thanks [08:04:22] we need something like the old karma report. Though with better heuristics [08:04:22] "I'm willing to upset some people in order to make things better for everyone else" [08:04:29] Indeed. [08:04:47] * gravity chuckles at aj [08:04:48] the old karma report was a farce [08:05:02] slef: indeed [08:05:08] jaldhar: karma report was really something I very dislik [08:05:13] Manoj: did someone refer to it? [08:05:22] oic, soz [08:05:24] Manoj: yes true. I was #1 just by adding new webmin modules :) [08:05:28] nearly as bad the as "Ranking of worst maintainers" of a few months ago [08:05:42] jvw: hrm...

[08:17:36] it sounds like fun [08:17:39] bdale: Yeah, I'm looking forward to it [08:17:45] aj: been trading email with Oxer about it, actually [08:17:48] Need to get flights organised - at least I've got somewhere to stay now [08:18:02] * bdale will have the entire family along this year [08:18:10] bdale: half of them presenting, no less... [08:18:18] aj: well, that too [08:18:21] (Incidentally, if anyone has any followup questions they'd like to ask me in realtime, feel free to now - otherwise I'm going to start considering going back to bed...) [08:18:26] the few thousand dollars of spare change never seems to land in my lap, so I can never actually make it to a LCA, but that's definitely a priority if I ever do strike it rich [08:18:37] Part sbeyer has left this channel. ("bye") [08:18:38] http://mjr.towers.org.uk/debian_dpl_debate.html [08:18:59] peterS: get a paper accepted, and there's often some travel sponsorship options available [08:19:03] bdale: heh. so is she putting you on the "father's programme" or something? ;) [08:19:10] slef: Very nice. Thank you. [08:19:23] bdale: oh, indeed. if only I had anything to say that dozens of other people don't already know how to say better (: [08:19:29] slef: Thanks [08:19:38] peterS: details, details. never stopped me. ;-) [08:19:39] mjg59_: if elected DPL, do you plan to sleep? [08:19:40] hehe [08:19:46] Part AndreasSchuldei has left this channel. () [08:19:50] peterS: its all revenge for the rest of the world having conferences that *we* can't get to [08:19:56] * bdale ^5's vorlon [08:20:05] (actually, thats almost precisly why LCA exists..) [08:20:10] Part joeyh has left this channel. ("Client exiting") [08:20:10] gus: oh, I understand, .au doesn't exactly have it easier than .us. still, I'm jealous of people who can make it to LCA (: [08:20:15] vorlon: I intend to sleep. If people feel that I am devoting insufficient time to my waking or sleeping hours, I will summarily ignore them. [08:20:29] thanks to the logger... automatic edit/reformat suggestions welcome... copy the html version whereever you want in my opinion [08:20:43] mjg59_: What color of rainbow do you like? [08:20:45] hrm. I think this will be my fourth LCA? first was Brisbane. [08:21:06] sanxiyn: I find 652.3nm to be a pleasing color [08:21:17] dondelelcaro: good answer [08:21:21] bdale: brisbane, perth, adelaide, now canberra; you missed sydney, and CALU in melbourne [08:21:27] mjg59_: you could form a "sleeping team". project slumber could all take turns sleeping, with the DPL being allowed to tell any of them that they're snoring too loudly [08:21:29] aj: sounds right [08:21:37] Part part has left this channel. ("nil") [08:21:43] Quit bignose-ork has left this server. (Client Quit) [08:21:44] mjg59_: oh, ok [08:21:53] * slef changes some colours, if he can remember how [08:22:11] we could try synchronised sleeping -- sleeping in sync with anything would be pretty novel for most debian types... [08:22:37] aj: hey, now, just because it's true... [08:22:38] It's vital that teams tell the rest of the project when they're going to be asleep. [08:22:44] hmmm [08:22:47] aj: I rather like to see sleep as background process. [08:23:00] Quit martin_krafft_ has left this server. ("leaving") [08:23:04] aj: but getting everyone to sleep at the same time would be too hard, so you'd have to kick most of them out of bed before you could claim it was a reasonable goal [08:23:10] Part daniels has left this channel. () [08:23:12] sanxiyn: I do not discriminate against any colour of rainbow [08:23:51] * gus decides to really go home before the sarcasm starts to kick in [08:23:51] Part gus has left this channel. ("No reason") [08:24:41] mjg59_: do you think a [SLP] message to debian-private is sufficient, or is an alternate mechanism desirable? [08:24:49] Quit sabetts has left this server.

[08:31:20] Manoj: I am going to make a more organised summary of the -debate log, but I think we need to post the original to the vote webpages too [08:31:28] Manoj: as well as those of the other three channels [08:31:41] Nick bmesing is now known as ben_vos. [08:32:05] helen: well, if you could email them o me, that would be grand [08:32:17] logs have been sprouting up - dondelelcaro, slef and madduck all posted them [08:32:28] Manoj: I'll email you mine in a minute [08:32:32] I'm betting at least one of the three posts a URL to -vote, possibly all three will [08:32:50] peterS: let me copy it to people.d.o, actually [08:32:51] well, madduck is heading for a plane now, AIUI. [08:33:12] * slef posts [08:33:35] helen or madduck, will you request feedback about the debate? e.g., I think some people liked the second part quite much, so perhaps they want to request moreemphasis in live discussion for next year. [08:33:44] well, I can always grab them off -vote too [08:33:45] Part kmuto has left this channel. () [08:33:54] 09:08 well, this was the best debate I have seen, so far [08:33:57] yeah, the 2nd part was much more pleasant to do than the first one too [08:33:57] Quit ben_vos has left this server. ("Client exiting") [08:34:05] Manoj: ^ was it because of the second part? [08:34:13] maybe I should post my log. debian is all about redundant implementations of things people only need one of [08:34:19] dato: ok, I'll do so [08:34:25] Mode slef takes channel operator privileges from slef. [08:34:28] dato: yes, though the first part was also managed better than most [08:34:35] Part ffrank has left this channel.

[08:36:27] Zugschlus: like AnthonyTowns, I have total confidence in the way the ftpmaster post is being handled [08:36:53] you'd be better off putting them in debian-history, than introducing a NEW package anyway [08:36:54] cmot: haha [08:37:00] cmot: maybe the participants will allow a transcription under a creative commons license, like debconf5 papers [08:37:02] Quit XinmingLai_ has left this server.
