justdavecarlos: I think that rule is stupid ("it" for persons being considered derogatory)12:56
justdaveand English is my native language :)12:56
justdaveyou know how hard it is trying to write politically correct documentation with no gender-neutral pronoun to refer to a singular person? :)12:57
carlosjustdave: well, I know the rule, and I'm not unhappy with it, the problem is that althought I know it, I never use it in my mails...12:58
carlosjustdave: :-P12:58
justdaveOne of these days the academics will decide that it's legal to use "they" as a singular. :)  Most people already do it anyway, you just get points marked off for using it on school papers.12:59
carlosnext month I will retake my english studies (about 8 years since last time), I will propose it there :-P01:01
jblackjustdave: I love those pedantics. I think that somewhere along the line they forgot that language is nothing more than an informal agreement for what things mean.01:02
carlosgood night01:06
carlossee you tomorrow01:06
carlosdaf: perhaps I will be late tomorrow morning, I have a meeting about ubuntu in my university but I will be here before the meeting01:07

carlosdaf: what's galore?02:04
dafcarlos: "galore" means "in abundance"02:05
carlos:-P02:05
dafi.e. there are lots of them02:05
SteveAcarlos: read books by "enid blighton" to get the correct "galore" idiom :-)02:05
SteveAit is about as obselete a term as those books are02:06

SteveAoh, like bryton 02:06

carlosdaf: lalo is not here yet02:07
SteveAgosh, I do hope it will be a corker.02:07
=== carlos thinks on start talking in Spanish :-P
SteveAI think the andelusian dialect would be an appropriate complement to mid-last-century english02:08
SteveAat least, that's what antonio banderas' character spoke in in the spanish version of "shrek 2"02:09
dafheh :)02:10
carlosSteveA: It's hard for me to understand some spanish people from andalucia (and I had a girldfriend from there)02:10
dafwell, lalo is jolly late and I shall have to give him what for!02:10
=== carlos didn't saw Shrek 2

carlosfinishe the preferences page02:23

carlosdaf: I'm planning to add there for free name change02:25
dafbonus :)02:26
carlosyes :-)02:26
dafI'm going to be working on:02:26
daf#1929 (project import request)02:26
dafI think this one is nearly done -- I think the problems I'm having are related to my local mail setup rather than bugs in the code02:27
carlosdo you want some testing from me?02:27
dafno, I think I'll test that one, since the mails will go to me02:28
dafI'm also going to work on the template/PO file upload02:28
dafI can't find the bug number...02:28

dafah, #191902:28

carlosyes, is correct02:30

carloswell, perhaps not as correct as I thought02:30
carlosthe pot import is not critical, the .po import could be02:30
dafI think it's OK02:30
carlosok02:31
dafif people upload templates and PO files, do we treat them as ones from revision control?02:31
carlosdaf: no, they should have a flag that comes from other source02:32
=== daf -> phone
carlosok02:32
carlosWe need to add a new RosettaTranslationOrigin type for "Web upload" or something like that we only have : 1.- SCM  2.- Rosetta02:34
dafthat makes sense02:34
dafthe web upload is more or less working02:36
dafthe main problem is with permissions02:36
carlosdaf: we still have some schema changes but nobody answered when I sent them about two weeks ago...02:36
dafyes?02:36
carlosdaf: what kind of permissions?02:36

carlosthanks02:38

carlosno problem02:38
dafso, Steve and I will be working on fixing the remaining permissions problems in the upload02:38
dafit's something to do with allowing interfaces02:39
carlosok02:39
carlosabout the project/product import, I will play with http://arch.no-name-yet.com/02:39
dafI think Steve will be working on closing #1907 and #190802:39
carlosseems like there will be all our arch projects02:39
dafah, sounds good02:39
carlosbut I need to get a file that let's me get the archive + branch we are using (I will ask lifeless)02:40
carlosor import all projects/products...02:40
dafok, let me know how that goes02:41
carlosok02:42
dafis there anything else we need to discuss?02:42
carlosNothing that I could remember now02:42
carlosdaf: well, tomorrow I shoud go to "register" in my university for this new year, perhaps I will be late for the meeting02:43
dafok, shall we arrange another time for it?02:43
carlosit's one hour and a half before the meeting, so I'm not sure If will be late02:43
carlosdaf: if we could delay it one hour I think it will be enough, that way I'm sure I will be able to attend on time02:44

dafwe have a bug for it06:34
luludaf: good - does it specify packages?06:35
luludaf: do you guys need assistance in defining the package list of what should/shouldn't be in?06:37

luludaf: and the tangible outcome is a list?06:37
dafyes06:38
SteveADaf and I need to do some pair programming before daf needs to leave.06:40
luludaf: methinks it would be good to schedule that discussion sooner rather than later so you have a list of packages you can hard code on the home page....when Rosetta launches in 2 days.06:40

SteveAso, in that case, the contract of the digest encryptor should accept unicode objects or ascii strings08:58

carlosshould I change it then?08:59
SteveAyes08:59
SteveAIn fact, to do this properly:08:59
SteveA1. file a bug that the password encryptor doesn't accept non-ascii characters09:00

SteveA2. add spiv and me to the cc list09:00
carlosok.09:00
carlos3. Attach the proposal patch09:00
SteveA3. change the IPasswordEncryptor interface to explain about unicode09:01
SteveA4. write a unit test that uses a password that contains non-ascii characters09:01
SteveA5. write the patch so that the unit test passes09:01
=== carlos phone
SteveAIt is not sufficient just to do a patch.  The interface and tests must be kept up to date.09:02
SteveABoth encrypt and validate will need to be encoded to UTF-809:03
SteveAWe'll need to make sure that upfront systems gets the new code, too.09:03
