It was brought to my attention that our bi-weekly IRC meetings were hard
to make, and I have to agree. Saturdays are a time where I need so spend
time with my family, and it's hard do to that when I'm in an IRC meeting
for 90 minutes and then have to head to work that afternoon/evening. It
was recommended we do a bi-weekly check-in via email, and that seemed to
be the most viable option. So, going forward, I will be sending emails
to check-in on how we're doing with our projects.
OK
Since we ran into issues that really need a lot more resources than we
have currently, I recommended halting the additional DE iso spins.
Instead, I think we should come at this from a multiple-phased approach.
=== Phase 1 (GOAL: 19.04) ===
Make ubuntustudio-installer the only package people need to install to
bolt-on Ubuntu Studio's tools to their existing Ubuntu (or flavor
thereof) install, thereby enabling people to use Ubuntu Studio inside of
whatever is their favorite DE.
Are we changing the GUI lib?
* Modify ubuntustudio-installer to depend on ubuntustudio-controls
* Split the lowlatency kernel grub selection settings from
ubuntustudio-default-settings into its own package
(ubuntustudio-lowlatency-kernel) that depends on linux-lowlatency. I've
already done this and will get this synced soon.
There are two more settings I would include in that move, swapiness and
timer permisions. Swappiness could be something that is useful for
graphics/video too (comments?).
* Add the ubuntustudio-lowlatency-kernel to the ubuntustudio-audio
metapackage, since people who need audio optimization are the only ones
that need the lowlatency package.
If we do this, I would suggest fixing the grub file so that it gives
lowlatency as default like now, but also have generic as the second option
and default if there is no lowlatency. Also generic should be labeled as
such. Basically the grub hack should get fixed.... really this should be
an upstream thing. If there is more than one kind of kernel they should
all be listed and there should be a user parameter that chooses a type for
default with fallback should that type not be available.
=== Phase 2 (GOAL: 19.10) ===
Too far ahead for me to think about :) but reasonable anyway.
