So that's been solved 20:11:34 <wilcal> yup 20:11:45 <wilcal> #topic Testing Updates & Backports 20:12:25 <wilcal> massive dump onto the list. Most important there is the kernel test so I should get through that in the next couple days 20:13:10 <Benmc> will try to test it on the 32 bit system I have- on the todo list 20:13:25 <wilcal> Sounds good to me 20:13:44 <wilcal> anything in that long list that looks problematic? 20:14:08 <wilcal> Just a lot of bugs there 20:14:09 <Benmc> all of them for me- time is an issue 20:14:58 <wilcal> Hoidays are always a problem. The Europeans bail about 2nd week Dec and don't come back to 2nd week Jan 20:15:20 <wilcal> The Netherlands moves to Portugal 20:15:49 <wilcal> Lets make this short 20:15:50 <wilcal> #topic Anything else? 20:16:09 <wilcal> Most important is to stay safe 20:16:21 <wilcal> The States are having real problems 20:16:51 <Benmc> I guess you dont want me to talk about Covid vs NZ 20:16:55 <wilcal> Hurry up and develop the vaccine then can't figure it out how ti distribute it 20:17:11 <wilcal> I hear really really good things about NZ 20:17:15 <wilcal> question about that 20:17:28 <wilcal> Does NZ have a national healthcare system? 20:18:08 <Benmc> yep, life is near nomal inside the border- just gettingacross it is the issue - 14 day quarrantine 20:18:31 <Benmc> National healthcrae - you bet. 20:18:58 <wilcal> The countries with Natiuonal Healthcare systems can handle the rollout of the Vaccine. Here in the States they forgot to plan for all of that 20:19:38 <wilcal> Proise was to have 20,000,000 vacinnated by end 2020. Today. Less then 2,000,000 have been vacinnated 20:19:57 <wilcal> it'll take us about 5-years to get everiyone vacinnated 20:20:24 <Benmc> Also nathealth systems seem to co-ordinate CVid mitigation, requiring less care resources 20:20:35 <wilcal> Plus we have anon-functional President 20:20:57 <Benmc> I wasnt going THERE! 20:21:14 <wilcal> Most important issue for Trump right now is todays, and tomorrows, golf game 20:21:42 <wilcal> anyway lets wrap this.
