[05:20] <bimberi> erk, wrong window, sry
[12:40] <jenda> juliux: ping
[12:41] <jenda> hey, mrevell! welcome back :)
[12:42] <mrevell> jenda: yo :)
[12:47] <juliux> jenda, pong
[12:48] <jenda> juliux: livingdaylight complained that you didn't send him his shirt :)
[12:49] <jenda> his name is 'conrad'
[12:49] <jenda> I promised to prod you.
[12:53] <juliux> jenda, i e-mailed him
[12:53] <juliux> jenda, i think dhl lost is shirt
[12:53] <jenda> ouch
[12:53] <juliux> i send him his shirt last week
[12:54] <jenda> ok
[12:54] <jenda> don't shoot the messenger ;)
[04:22] <adamant1988> Anyone conscious? mrevell ?
[04:22] <mrevell> adamant1988: I'm alive :)
[04:23] <adamant1988> mrevell: Wanted to discuss something with you (since I know you're an uppity up in the team) 
[04:24] <adamant1988> Could we put a "community bulletin board" type program into effect?  Kind of like a "Karma-bounty" system to get work done for the marketing team, the art team, and what have you? 
[04:25] <mrevell> adamant1988: I'm not sure what an uppity up is, but I don't think I am one :) Hmm, the thing you describe sounds like Launchpad's Blueprint Tracker.
[04:25] <mrevell> adamant1988: Perhaps I'm missing something.
[04:26] <adamant1988> Well, except half of the community never visits launchpad.  My logic is that we could offer some kind of points system with a leadership board, but we could put things up  on this to get them done quicker by people who just want to help with individual bits.
[04:27] <adamant1988> For instance if I need an article written for say a newsletter, but no one seems interested in writing it we could put it up there and offer so many "points" to get it done.  Think of it at out-sourcing some stuff to the main community
[04:28] <adamant1988> I think in particular the art team would benefit from something like this too. 
[04:29] <mrevell> adamant1988: I'd say that creating a new resource, because people don't use an existing resource, isn't the answer. However, the points system you describe sounds interesting.
[04:30] <adamant1988> Well, I'm not talking about creating a whole new one.. just perhaps adding onto the launchpad and modifying it to allow this kind of activity
[04:30] <mrevell> adamant1988: I do think, though, that Blueprint will provide you with what you need. If people don't go there, well, that's a job of telling people about it, not for creating something new.
[04:30] <mrevell> Right
[04:30] <adamant1988> The only thing is.. no one goes to the launchpad, so I'm hoping it can be linked on the main site or something?
[04:30] <mrevell> Yeah, sounds like a nice idea. I'd recommend writing a spec for it, again using the blueprint tracker :)
[04:31] <adamant1988> Ideally it would create an almost competitive environment for helping out Ubuntu
[04:31] <mrevell> Well, I don't have any sway over the main site
[04:31] <mrevell> It's a cool idea
[04:31] <adamant1988> Thanks, I'll try to write out a spec for it.
[04:31] <mrevell> cool :)
[04:31] <adamant1988> Another thing I wanted to bring up
[04:31] <mrevell> Ping me when you've got something and I'll help you tweak it
[04:31] <adamant1988> What would be the best way to get some surveys out there to Ubunturoos?
[04:32] <adamant1988> In particular I just think we should be collecting more information about and from the community, I'd manage the whole thing myself if I have to.  
[04:34] <mrevell> adamant1988: Hey, I agree that getting more information is a great thing. Have you spoken to Melissa about it? She's done some work on that before.
[04:35] <adamant1988> mrevell: I haven't, I was kind of absent for a while. 
[04:35] <adamant1988> haha.
[04:35] <adamant1988> do you have an email I can use to get in touch with her? 
[04:35] <mrevell> adamant1988: Ah, well, ping elkbuntu, she's your lady
[04:35] <mrevell> erm
[04:35] <mrevell> just a sec
[04:39] <adamant1988> oh man.. how do I do these specs again lol
[05:19] <adamant1988> elkbuntu: hello
[05:36] <adamant1988> mrevell: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/bulletinboard
[05:36] <adamant1988> seem alright to you?
[05:38] <mrevell> adamant1988: Busy at the moment, but will look later. Thanks :)
[05:40] <adamant1988> sure thing
[07:56] <adamant1988> oh my god
[07:56] <adamant1988> *sigh*
[07:57] <poningru> oh blargh?
[07:58] <adamant1988> I keep trying to load the new ubuntu.com
[07:58] <adamant1988> but I can't seem to get it to load.
[07:59] <poningru> the new ubuntu.com?
[07:59] <poningru> uh thats not supposed to be out till 19th
[07:59] <adamant1988> it's up now, supposedly.
[08:00] <poningru> wth nm
[08:02] <poningru> what do you mean you cant get it to load?
[08:02] <adamant1988> I still see the old site
[08:02] <adamant1988> I've cleared my cache and everything, it's STILL the old site.
[08:02] <poningru> adamant1988: in a terminal go ping ubuntu.com
[08:02] <poningru> what server does it give you?
[08:03] <poningru> and instead of ubuntu.com go to signey.ubuntu.com
[08:03] <adamant1988> that's what I'm getting
[08:03] <poningru> in the browser I mean

[08:03] <poningru> err sorry
[08:04] <adamant1988> poningru: that's a 404 error on that site.
[08:05] <poningru> hmm you're right
[08:06] <adamant1988> I'm getting very annoyed :(
[08:06] <beuno> want a screenshot  :D
[08:07] <adamant1988> I've seen it.
[08:07] <adamant1988> I just want to be able to navigate it to see if there is any real improvement. 
[08:08] <adamant1988> I can't understand why the old webpage is still loading

[08:54] <beuno> hey jenda
[09:21] <jenda> oi
[09:22] <jenda> beuno: the forums people seem not to like the fact that it's them who have to do the work, not LP...
[09:22] <jenda> ...but they're always like that :/
[09:23] <beuno> ah, I think launchpad-independence is a good thing
[09:23] <jenda> hmm
[09:23] <beuno> I mean, they *are* going to have to do some sort of work on this side
[09:23] <jenda> I guess
[09:23] <jenda> of course
[09:23] <beuno> *this = their
[09:24] <beuno> I can easily do the script that will parse the information, and I might even be able to code the forum integration
[09:24] <beuno> but ultimately it's up to them
[09:25] <beuno> and I really don't want to invest too much time if neither launchpad folks and forum folks are interested
[09:26] <beuno> I'm having a hard time getting through to launchpad devs, although I've gotten some very good "off the record" comments
[09:27] <poningru> what are we talking about?
[09:27] <jenda> beuno: alrighty
[09:27] <beuno> hey poningru, I'm trying to get some sort of integration done between forums and launchpad
[09:27] <jenda> poningru: forum-LP integration
[09:28] <poningru> oh
[09:28] <beuno> jenda: sorry to put you in the middle of this, but you're a easy person to talk to  :D
[09:28] <jenda> beuno: hehe :)
[09:28] <jenda> beuno: no problem
[09:28] <jenda> I mean...
[09:28] <jenda> get lost ;)
[09:29] <jenda> 
[09:29] <beuno> hahaha
[09:30] <jenda> hehe
[09:30] <tsmithe> beuno, that forum-lp integration thing would be very useful for everyone (and i'm particularly keen to see it working well for the audio team); so keep pushing
[09:30] <tsmithe> and well done :)
[09:31] <beuno> damn you tsmithe, I was so close to letting it go...    ;)
[09:31] <beuno> and thank you!
[09:31] <tsmithe> don't do that
[09:31] <tsmithe> !
[09:31] <tsmithe> and, no problem :P
[09:32] <beuno> jenda: who should I be bugging about this on the forums side?
[09:35] <jenda> ryan troy :)
[09:35] <jenda> I'll brb
[09:35] <Burgwork> beuno: lp is very much marks project
[09:36] <adamant1988> hello all
[09:37] <beuno> Burgwork: well, he might be harder to "get to", but I've got some very good feedback from launchpad devs, and actually found a way around to implement this on the forums without them doing anything
[09:37] <tsmithe> using email?
[09:37] <beuno> I think once it's on the forums, it'll be easier to convince them to get on board
[09:37] <beuno> tsmithe: no, a magic little feature which I wasn't aware of: text mode
[09:37] <tsmithe> text mode?
