Technical Board meeting, 2009-12-01 = Attendees = * Matt Zimmerman (chair) * Colin Watson * Mark Shuttleworth * Martin Pitt
= Notes = * Prior action review, leaves the follow still to do: * [ACTION] cjwatson checking on IS RT #36139 to add devel-permissions * [ACTION] Scott to redraft Units policy to address Scott's and Matt's concerns and clean up language * [ACTION] Colin to clarify trademark/license distinction on licensing policy * Archive reorganisation (ColinWatson) * [ACTION] cjwatson to create a wiki reference for development teams to participate in the reorg * https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/UpdatesPolicy * Would be good to outline a regression handling policy as well. * Default to assuming users want stability. * [ACTION] ScottK to revise proposal based on TB meeting discussion * When is it a good idea to fail out of a maintainer script? (mdz) * Generally, failing preinst is preferred to failing postinst. * Generally, daemon start-up failure should not fail postinst. * May help to make a distinction between devel and release upgrades. * No clear "philosophical" state of being configured, so it's non-obvious how to decide what should be considered a failure. * Would be beneficial to present a straw-man proposal to the Debian TC to coordinate this. * Will continue at the next meeting. * Community Bugs * https://launchpad.net/bugs/485569 "TB term length is unclear" * elections single-year staggered with resulting positions having a two-year term. * [ACTION] sabdfl to update LP/wiki/www to reflect the actual term length for TB * https://launchpad.net/bugs/485971 "Technical Board mailing list archive is private" * blocked on IS, now that DMB is up and running. * [ACTION] cjwatson to nudge RT 35428 * Out of time, deferred further topics to next meeting * Chair for next meeting: Kees -- Kees Cook Ubuntu Security Team -- ubuntu-devel-announce mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-announce
