20:01:49 <wilcal> #topic Who's new?
20:02:08 <wilcal> Son_Goku do introduce yourself
20:02:29 <lewyssmith> We don't bite.
20:02:51 <wilcal> hello tj
20:02:51 <lewyssmith> Hello TJ.
20:03:00 <tjandrews> HI.
20:03:03 <wilcal> did you sell the hay
20:03:33 <tjandrews> Guy hasn't been here yet, but my brother told me he could handle it.
20:04:26 <wilcal> hope fully Son_Goku will introduce during the meeting
20:04:32 <wilcal> lets move on
20:04:39 <lewyssmith> Agree.
20:05:07 <wilcal> #topic M6 et al
20:05:35 <lewyssmith> I think silence is warranted at present.
20:05:36 <wilcal> I've been working the boot.iso's as they come along
20:05:45 <wilcal> not much luck
20:06:44 <wilcal> All the dates have been moved to TBD
20:06:51 <lewyssmith> ?
20:07:02 <wilcal> Development Dates
20:07:22 <tjandrews> I was just about to ask about that.
20:07:28 <wilcal> And the issue of possibly an M5.1 release
20:07:48 <wilcal> that for a new kernel to handle the new Intel Skylake chip
20:07:58 <wilcal> at least that's my take
20:08:20 <lewyssmith> I suspect poor tmb is having a bad spell.
20:09:09 <wilcal> probably true
20:09:24 <lewyssmith> A 5.1 may be a good idea.
20:09:53 <wilcal> IMO if we release M5.1 we committ to pushing off M6 at least 6-months
20:10:07 <wilcal> just my  opinion
20:10:30 <Benmc> may well be a valid one
20:10:30 <tjandrews> I wonder if some "official" announcements on Facebook and the alt.os.linux.mageia newsgroup would be a good idea.
20:10:37 <lewyssmith> Of course. The last comment we saw was '2016 hopefully'.
20:10:59 <wilcal> not a decision for us to make but all opinions are warmly welcomed i think
20:11:22 <lewyssmith> The 'of course' related to IMO etc above.
20:11:23 <wilcal> late 2016 for M6 would be a good idea with an M5.1 release
20:11:47 <wilcal> M5 is very solid and simply updating the kernel IMO is not a big risk
20:12:22 <lewyssmith> I think users prefer a longer release life.
20:12:54 <wilcal> my opinion has always been about a 1-year release cycle
20:13:11 <wilcal> this one will be closer to 18-months
20:13:22 <lewyssmith> Benmc: Hello Ben, just noticed you.
20:13:32 <tjandrews> They've expressed that opinion on c.o.l.mageia. the longer release cycle, I mean.
20:13:46 <wilcal> I think plasma will be as muh a challange as the getting it to boot issue
20:14:00 <Benmc> Hi Lewis, still plugging away
20:14:10 <Benmc> I have booted all Live iso using various methods to various working desktops, Usb, optical and as a final resort virtual boxes
20:14:41 <wilcal> why cannot we get to working bootable media
20:14:59 <lewyssmith> Bill, better not tp press the point at present.
20:15:18 <Benmc> Gnome was an issue for the start of M5 if I remember correctly
20:15:29 <lewyssmith> And the finish...
20:15:56 <wilcal> yes Gnome is much more solid then Plasma is for us
20:16:12 <wilcal> I've been tinkering with Kubuntu just to get used to it
20:17:05 <Benmc> TBH, Plasma5 sort of grows on you, the more you use it
20:17:51 <wilcal> well lets move on then as we can't do much about this right now
20:18:03 <wilcal> #topic Testing Updates & Backports
20:18:15 <wilcal> Kinda under control
20:18:48 <lewyssmith> The list grows as fast as it is pruned.
20:18:55 <wilcal> I guess botan has to be tested on real hardware
20:19:04 <wilcal> it's just a game i guess
20:19:32 <lewyssmith> Len is looking at that - brave fellow. There are other things with it, all unkown.
20:20:07 <lewyssmith> I have started the Squid one.
20:20:08 <wilcal> I've tested jasper before so I'll give that one a go
20:20:47 <tjandrews> Luigi mentioned an upcoming LO 4.x update. I wouldn't mind seeing us move to 5.x.
20:21:23 <wilcal> #chair lewyssmith
20:21:23 <Inigo_Montoya`> Current chairs: lewyssmith wilcal
20:21:36 <wilcal> just incase this laptop hiccups again
20:21:42 <lewyssmith> OK.
20:22:02 <wilcal> "LO" ??
20:22:12 <tjandrews> libreoffice
20:22:32 <wilcal> Ahhh. Never had big problems with that except lots of people have to test it
20:23:03 <lewyssmith> Anyone know what xymon is?
20:23:22 <wilcal> no idea
20:23:39 <tjandrews> Two upstream bugs in effect now. One seems to concern libreoffice-kde, and the other affects those with older Radeon cards.
20:24:12 <lewyssmith> wilcal: What is Jasper, Bill?
20:24:23 <wilcal> multimedia thing i think
20:24:57 <wilcal> ymon monitors your hosts, your network services
20:25:21 <wilcal> i used imagemagick to test jasper
20:25:56 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16308
20:25:58 <[mbot> Bug 16308: normal, Normal, qa-bugs, ASSIGNED , "No DNS servers available!" in spamd.log due to incompatibility in Net::DNS 0.76 and higher, spamassassin-3.4.0-5.mga5
20:26:10 <wilcal> looks like one of those career enhancing bugs
20:27:25 <wilcal> not a big list but I should be able to take a couple off it it in the next day or so
20:27:45 <wilcal> anybody else with issues there
20:28:12 <lewyssmith> What is going to happen to dear old xen?
20:29:41 <lewyssmith> [stoney silence]
20:29:48 <wilcal> looks a bit complex
20:30:03 <wilcal> lots of discussion in te bug
20:30:13 <lewyssmith> Another of your career builders.
20:30:21 <wilcal> ya
20:30:41 <wilcal> anyway keep plug'n away on what you can do.
20:30:58 <wilcal> lets see if Luigi is available
20:31:10 <lewyssmith> He said he would not be.
20:31:34 <wilcal> ok big thing there is where we're gonna go with that new kernel
20:31:50 <lewyssmith> I have seen nothing about it.
20:31:56 <wilcal> I think there's a council meeting next week and a lot of these issues will be discussed
20:32:23 <lewyssmith> That's what the Council is there for.
20:32:25 <wilcal> What kernel supports the new Intel Skylake?
20:32:54 <wilcal> 4.4 i think
20:33:16 <wilcal> if you try and install M5 on a Skylake based MB it won't work
20:33:25 <wilcal> at least that's what I've heard
20:33:52 <wilcal> we should move on
20:33:59 <lewyssmith> Yes.
20:34:04 <wilcal> #topic Anything Else?
20:34:12 <wilcal> which is where most of this stuff goes
20:34:30 <wilcal> Does it completely die or only partially work?
20:34:55 <lewyssmith> What? M5 + Skylark?
20:35:16 <Benmc> some personal news here - ok?
20:35:25 <lewyssmith> OK
20:35:35 <Benmc> tj should note this.
20:35:44 <tjandrews> Uh-oh.
