DocScrutinizer05golinux: do you know if parazyd is on holiday or whatever, ow when he's supposed to be available again?02:17
golinuxI have no idea.  Sorry.02:20
golinuxI last saw him a week ago Monday.02:20
DocScrutinizer05yeah, /whois says he's been idle since 5 days02:22
DocScrutinizer05golinux: thanks anyway :-)02:22
DocScrutinizer05golinux: do you have candidates for @devuan/developer/* or @devuan/community/* cloaks? I.E users you think should have or would like such cloak02:24
XenguyDocScrutinizer05: There's some online meeting starting I believe.  I tried connecting to https://vdc.dyne.org/devuan but can't figure out how it all works02:28
DocScrutinizer05ask golinux02:28
XenguyI will, when they're not as busy02:28
DocScrutinizer05right, there might be (or have been) a meeting today or tomorrow?02:29
DocScrutinizer05nah, golinux is happy for every user who wants to join those meetings02:29
DocScrutinizer05also meeting seems over since 8(?)h02:31
DocScrutinizer056?02:31
DocScrutinizer054?02:31
DocScrutinizer05damn timezones02:31
golinuxMeet ended oner 3 hours ago.02:33
golinuxover02:33
golinuxTakes a while to figure out UTC02:33
XenguyOh, well that explains why I'm the only one there : -)02:33
Xenguyhah02:34
golinuxXenguy: om02:34
golinuxpm02:35
DocScrutinizer05I think it's not ideal that for example I wouldn't even know off hand how to find out where and how those meetings are held and how to join them. In maemo and meego we had weekly IRC meetings which in their best times had 30 "speakers" and over 100 'anonymous' visitors03:07
golinuxDocScrutinizer05: The meet notice is posted to this channel and the devuan-dev list every week.03:08
DocScrutinizer05right. Sorry didn't mean to blame anybody. Just... I noticed I don't know and maybe this is because I don't care since I wouldn't be able or wouldn't want to join a video conference. Probably both video conf and IRC meeting have their usecase scenarios where they excel, and those scenarios are not intersecting as much as you might think. Prolly the type of VC without speakers and timeslots is bst for a less than maybe 20 participants,03:17
DocScrutinizer05 while for many (even casual) visitors IRC clearly beats any VC hands down03:17
DocScrutinizer05also there are the obvious differences in accessibility which lets some people prefer audiobooks over written text in books etc, whike OTOH there's an amazing number of folks who need subtitles on movies for a number of reasons03:28
LeePenHello. I am hoping to start contributing to Devuan. I have picked #239 as an easy starting point. Could you look  at git@git.devuan.org:LeePen/cups-filters.git and advise me of the next steps.15:04
KatolaZLeePen: are you willing to maintai the cups package?16:30
KatolaZ~maintain16:31
LeePenKatolaZ: yes I could. I just picked this as a starting point to learn Devuan's source and build process.18:33
KatolaZLeePen: do you have any experience of packaging?18:43
LeePenKatolaZ: Some. I maintian apt-cacher for Debian.18:44
KatolaZok18:48
KatolaZhave you seen the d1h walkthrough?18:48
KatolaZin a word: we would ideally avoid to fork packages just for the sake of rebranding stuff18:49
KatolaZunless the maintainer is a motivated and dedicated one ;)18:49
KatolaZ(otherwise packages would just rot in the repo)18:49
golinuxIsn't Debian cups technically compatible.  Just the printouts need to be re-branded?  Someone provided those not long ago.18:52
golinuxSeems like a lot of effort for a cosmetic issue but I might be missing something . . .18:53
KatolaZLeePen: please go ahead18:53
KatolaZwe will build the package for experimental18:53
LeePenKatolaz: Yes I have worked thorugh the d1h walkthrough up to the point where is says ask here for review18:55
