[12:44] i don't want to merge, i want it to dissapier [12:46] Hey_neken: You can ask. I think the admins would frown about loosing data that came from upstream.

This is an incredibly busy time for us in the Launchpad team, so we may be a little thin on the ground. [11:05] Okay, we can pull the relevant guys into the meeting if we need to. [11:06] As always, I'd like to invite everyone to join the Launchpad Beta Testers team. [11:06] if you'd like to try the new Launchpad 1.0 interface, please sign up at: [11:06] https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-beta-testers/+members [11:06] Onto the "Annoyance of the week".

We're currently reviewing font sizes and text colours, based on useful feedback from Launchpad beta testers. Thanks for raising the issue again.

[11:14] infact, predefined responses in general would (like, "to help us to fix this bug, please attach the output of dmesg / etc" or "thanks, but this is a feature request etc" [11:15] mooey: Are you a member of the launchpad-users mailing list?

[07:56] i know [07:56] but it also lists me as launchpad people [07:56] https://launchpad.net/people/?name=mikel+olasagasti&searchfor=all [07:57] and I don't want to be listed as launchpad people [07:57] Oh. [07:57] Hey_neken: you'll need to talk to #launchpad [07:58] LaserJock: that's here [07:58] LaserJock, thats here... [07:58] heh [07:58] sorry [07:58] I thought I was in #ubuntu-devel [07:58] Hey_neken: give me a few minutes, I want to understand precisely what you want. But workrave for now... [07:59] ok [07:59] i'm going for a walk soon, but should be here later... [07:59] the problem might be it could get recreated [07:59] recreate what? [08:00] the account [08:00] i don't want an account [08:00] the account is automatically created via package uploads [08:00] so it could get deleted [08:00] and then recreated automatically [08:00] Hey_neken: what packages do you maintain? [08:00] none [08:01] i just make translations [08:01] oh [08:01] I've not come across that one before [08:01] Hey_neken: It's pretty clear in https://launchpad.net/~hey-neken-euskal and https://launchpad.net/~hey-neken that you don't use launchpad, isn't it? [08:02] matsubara, yes, but at https://launchpad.net/people/?name=mikel+olasagasti&searchfor=all i'm listed as launchpad people, and I have no relation with launchpad [08:03] well, when you go to the actual accounts it's clear that you aren't an lanchpad person [08:03] but I see your point === flacoste_lunch is now known as flacoste === mark007 [n=mark@n128-227-103-157.xlate.ufl.edu] has joined #launchpad [08:11] Hey_neken: so, it clear you do not want your name to appear on that search page.

[08:11] s/object on/object to/ === Rinchen [n=joey@ubuntu/member/rinchen] has joined #launchpad [08:13] ddaa, not to apper nor be listed as launchpad people, since I'm not launchpad people; thats a lie. [08:13] I understand that you object to the wording. [08:14] and the presence as part of a changelog for example its OK, but i don't want any profile (nor the posibility to claim it) [08:14] But Launchpad collects information from all over the and displays it in various places too. [08:15] So I am trying to figure out what specific bits of the launchpad needs to be changed to make you happy. [08:15] Hey_neken: but to do this, I need precise answers. [08:15] ddaa, will you release all the launchpad code? :) [08:16] It's not in my power to do so. [08:16] Personally, I'd love to see that code released. [08:16] then you can't make me fully happy ;) === Egidijus [n=EM@host250-104-static.51-88-b.business.telecomitalia.it] has joined #launchpad === statik [n=emurphy@189.66.188.72.cfl.res.rr.com] has joined #launchpad [08:17] what i don't want is that may name gets relationated with launchpad [08:17] Hey_neken: different people have different ideas what is putting their name in relation with launchpad... [08:17] its OK to recolect information about me, as I make my information public, but its not OK to say that I'm part of launchpad [08:18] In a sense, you are. Since your name is attached to translations that are present in Launchpad. [08:18] the option to claim 'my own profile' its not OK for me, since I didn't ask for that account === EM__ [n=EM@host250-104-static.51-88-b.business.telecomitalia.it] has joined #launchpad === statik [n=emurphy@189.66.188.72.cfl.res.rr.com] has joined #launchpad [08:19] Hey_neken: if the problem is displaying your name, you can claim those profiles, and change the name and make the emails addresses completely hidden. [08:20] Since persons are attached to imported data by email, that should solve it. === statik [n=emurphy@189.66.188.72.cfl.res.rr.com] has joined #launchpad [08:20] Or you can bear with me, and help me define precisely what bothers you. === tiagoboldt [n=tiagobol@87-196-83-95.net.novis.pt] has joined #launchpad === zyga [n=zyga@ubuntu/member/zyga] has joined #launchpad [08:25] Hey_neken: I guess an admin could also change the visible name for those profiles to be "Anonymous", and the url name to be something like "anonymous-NNN" . They would still be visible, but nobody could relate those to you, since the email addresses are hidden. [08:26] Hey_neken: would this make you happy? [08:27] and will that make launchpadpeople--? [08:27] What do you mean? [08:27] There are currently 906180 people and 922 teams registered in Launchpad. [08:27] i'm on of those people? [08:27] *one [08:28] I guess so. [08:28] so no, it wont make me happy to be a ghost on launchpads DB [08:29] So... [08:30] let me recap... your problem is that your appear on the people search results next to "People and teams in Launchpad", and those profile contribute to the "people in launchpad" statistics? [08:30] and makes me a launchpad person [08:30] and am I a launchpad person? nooooo [08:30] that seems like semantics [08:31] did I ask to be a launchpad person? noooooo [08:31] the profiles clearly state you are not a launchpad person [08:31] LaserJock, my profiles says that, but other pages don't [08:31] Hey_neken: so, I did not summarise your problem correctly? [08:32] it really takes a stretch to say that it's saying you are a Launchpad person [08:32] mere reference on Launchpad doesn't make you a launchpad person, IMO [08:32] we do not mean to say you are a launchpad person, so it's a wording and perception problem [08:32] LaserJock, making a search for launchpad people gives 2 records for my name, even if my profile says i'm not a launchpad peopole [08:32] sure [08:33] but I can search for my name in Google and come up with tons of hits [08:33] that doesn't mean I'm a Google person [08:34] LaserJock, yes, but I'm asking launchpad not to lie, google is another thing... [08:34] it's the same thing [08:34] it's grabbing publicly available information and presenting it via searches [08:35] I don't see where launchpad is lying [08:35] yes, but i't doesn't claim i'm launchpad personr, nor givin' me a gmail account that I can claim... [08:36] Google claims to find info on you and if you wanted you could claim a gmail account === neversfelde [n=chrman@nrbg-4db446f6.pool.einsundeins.de] has joined #launchpad [08:37] Launchpad is saying it found info on you and you can claim an account if you wish [08:37] LaserJock: you're trolling [08:37] I am? [08:37] yep [08:37] Sorry, should not have said so publicly. [08:37] oh, sorry [08:37] I'm really not trying to troll here === phanatic [n=phanatic@ubuntu/member/phanatic] has joined #launchpad [08:38] I just fail to see how Launchpad is being any different that Google [08:38] LaserJock: apparently, Hey_neken feels it's different. So there is a perception problem to address. [08:39] hi [08:39] But Hey_neken does not help us much to understand the problem. [08:39] I wanna help on put a help message on each zone of launchpad [08:40] ddaa, launchpad created a profile with my name that i didn't asked for, launchpad listed me as launchpad user when i'm not a launchpad user and launchpad doesn't give my the way to erase my profile === seb128 [n=seb128@ubuntu/member/seb128] has joined #launchpad [08:40] Hey_neken: it's explicitly not listing you as a launchpad user. [08:40] on the top left tab [08:41] ddaa, but does list me implicitly (or the way its said in english :P) [08:41] Hey_neken: I'm apparently not doing a good job of getting across to you. So I'm going to leave it there, and hope that some Launchpad person with better communication skills will be better able to understand your problem. [08:42] ddaa, you are doing a good work... [08:42] fetova: You could post to launchpad-users with urls, and the help text you suggest for each URL. [08:43] Hey_neken: so, I asked you a question a bit earlier [08:43] didn't I reply it? [08:44] > Let me recap... your problem is that your name appears on the people search results next to "People and teams in Launchpad", and those profiles contribute to the "people in launchpad" statistics? [08:44] you replied something, but I am looking for precise answers. [08:44] in part, thats my problem, yes [08:45] So, what else is bothering you? Please be as specific as possible. [08:45] i don't want to have te possibility to claim my own profile since I didn't ask for one; so there should be a way to erase it. [08:47] Technically, we cannot erase those profiles and prevent your name from getting back on Launchpad later. [08:47] So, would merging this account with a dud account called something like "no person" would make you happy? [08:47] Hey_neken, so, fixing both bug 97525 and bug 97528 would be of any help?

[08:48] Hey_neken: if we merge those profiles with a dud profile, the emails adresses will be associated to the dud profile, so you won't be credited for any translation imported into Launchpad. [08:49] I cant found where [08:49] salgado, yes, that would help [08:49] fetova: this mailing list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/launchpad-users [08:49] fetova: the mailing list [08:49] ahh [08:49] ok [08:49] fetova: subscribe and send emails to the mailing lists [08:50] ok I'm on [08:50] ddaa, you mean any automatic import?

I'll see if I can fix them this Friday [08:52] ok salgado, thanks [08:52] Hey_neken: I mean any translation imported into launchpad, such as this one https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/nano/+pots/nano/eu/+translate [08:53] I think it's good to have your name there, so other Basque translators know of your work.

[09:51] Loevborg: it is, go to your profile, then to bugs, then to opened [09:51] Loevborg, yes. launchpad/people/+me/+reportedbugs [09:53] thanks. I swear this didn't work the last time I checked. [09:54] Loevborg, you have to follow the 'Advanced search' link in case you want to search by non-open bugs too [09:54] salgado: I just discovered that [09:55] Why does it not search for "fix released" by default? [09:56] I'm afraid to say, launchpad's search mechanism is still in a pretty bad shape. It could __really__ use some "smart" logic for weighing results.

[10:01] yeah [10:01] man my mac mini is SLOW [10:02] But even if I find one that actually relates to "acpi-support", there's no way to jump to the (source) package for seeing all the bugs reported in this package.

[10:04] that's the reason [10:04] kiko: but I already _am_ in the bugs tab. How should I get the idea of clicking an already open tab? [10:04] Loevborg, yeah, there could be a visual hint that you are in the bugs application but not at bugs home. [10:05] Loevborg, do you have a suggestion for a visual cue that might work? [10:05] I changed the tabs a bit today [10:05] but it's hard to convey the idea of "you are in a app subpage and here's how you get to the top level" [10:05] kiko: there should be a link "show all bugs in this package", or something [10:05] there is in the left [10:06] in "seach bugs" [10:06] yeah. [10:06] pochu: I see... it's hidden though [10:06] (that's in beta, I think in productive is a little different) [10:06] maybe :) [10:06] some of this needs improvement [10:06] and some of it needs getting used to [10:07] but we're tweaking as we go :) === mark007 [n=mark@128.227.130.247] has joined #launchpad [10:07] kiko: I'm also pretty sure that sorting bug search results by importance is not ideal [10:07] Loevborg, you can change the sort order easily though [10:07] the importance sort order is ideal for many use cases [10:07] but not for other [10:07] hard to cater equally well. [10:07] s/other/others/ [10:08] kiko: I see - I didn't discover that function, because I need to do an "empty search" just to change the sort order, which seems unintuitive. [10:09] Also why not show "fix released" bugs by default? https://launchpad.net/bugs/39464 stopped showing up in my reported bugs without any visible change. [10:09] Malone bug 39464 in malone "Where's the bug reporter?" [High,Fix released] - Assigned to Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl) [10:09] Loevborg: because fix-released bugs do not call for any further action... [10:10] and clutter the display when people look for what needs work [10:10] Loevborg: your list would be unbounded [10:10] Loevborg, because most of the time bugs which have been fixed and released are history for you. [10:10] the bugs that you care about are the ones which are still affecting you === tiagoboldt [n=tiagobol@87-196-124-180.net.novis.pt] has joined #launchpad [10:10] and you get bugmail when they are fix released, too. [10:10] Sorry for ranting, btw, I actually like the optics and idea of launchpad - it's just that I find the search engine to be a very important part of such a site, the one that should be fine-tuned the most. [10:10] (so it's not like it dropped off the map) [10:11] Loevborg: note that launchpad is very google friendly :) [10:11] Loevborg, it's hard to get a search feature that works well for all use cases. I've lived through this in three bug tracker implementations so far. :) [10:11] so you can use google to look for stuff if you have trouble finding it. [10:11] ddaa: yes, but google is always restricted to full text search, not "look for bugs in package xyz" [10:12] kiko: other than users filing old bugs, but I trust that the guided bug form helps with that [10:12] LarstiQ, the guided bug form lists bugs which are fix released. [10:12] LarstiQ, it's actually a bit annoying that it doesn't say so on the list though [10:12] because many times I think "this is my bug!!!" and then "oh, no, it was fixed in 1953" [10:13] kiko: I realize that it's hard to get a one-size-fits-all approach. But it's amazing what kind of tweaking is possible to mostly get what the user wants (cf. google) [10:13] hey, google doesn't let you do any tweaking at all! [10:13] kiko: tweaking by the search engine makers, I mean [10:14] it's a totally different problem. [10:14] kiko: have you considered using something like lucene as a search backend? [10:14] bugs have full-text and discrete information at once [10:14] and depending on your viewpoint [10:14] kiko: it would support search queries such as: "package:acpi-support importance:critical dell" [10:14] you want more weight on one or more of those items [10:14] Loevborg, there's a plan to implement an advanced vocabulary like that. [10:16] kiko: I only know that I find it frustrating not being able to quickly browse existing bug reports for a given problem - this is a reason for me to not file report, or file a duplicate, both of which is undesirable. [10:18] I should probably file reports on those bugbears of mine, so you guys can have a closer look. === ChanServ [ChanServ@services.] has joined #launchpad === tiagoboldt [n=tiagobol@87-196-124-180.net.novis.pt] has joined #launchpad === mark007 [n=mark@128.227.130.247] has joined #launchpad === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #launchpad === mholthaus__ [n=mholthau@johnny33.dersbach.ch] has joined #launchpad === phanatic [n=phanatic@ubuntu/member/phanatic] has joined #launchpad === Gwaihir [n=Gwaihir@ubuntu/member/gwaihir] has joined #launchpad === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #launchpad === Ng [n=cmsj@mairukipa.tenshu.net] has joined #launchpad === ddaa [n=david@nor75-18-82-241-238-155.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #launchpad === caravena [n=caravena@177-45-112.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #launchpad === mthaddon [n=mthaddon@c-69-181-42-225.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #launchpad === danilos [n=danilo@adsl-236-193.eunet.yu] has joined #launchpad === TeTeT [n=spindler@modemcable178.77-70-69.static.videotron.ca] has joined #launchpad === Odd_Bloke [n=oddbloke@compsoc.sunion.warwick.ac.uk] has joined #launchpad === guerby [n=guerby@gut75-4-82-235-162-148.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #launchpad === txwikinger [n=txwiking@82-46-136-83.cable.ubr01.smal.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #launchpad === Znarl [n=znarl@jewel.roundabout.org] has joined #launchpad === Theuni [n=ctheune@uter.gocept.com] has joined #launchpad === sinzui [n=Curtis@pool-70-17-122-50.res.east.verizon.net] has joined #launchpad === salgado [n=salgado@200-171-140-32.dsl.telesp.net.br] has joined #launchpad === Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #launchpad [10:29] thanks for listening.

[11:14] kiko: well, I work with lasers every day [11:15] I'm a Laser Spectroscopist [11:15] really? how interesting! [11:15] what sort of material do you generate spectrograms of? [11:15] and one of the laser companies we buy from has these cool Laser Jock stickers [11:15] kiko: well, my reasearch project is on nanomotors [11:16] right now I'm working on watching molecular changes in a thin polymer film [11:17] ah.. so not of materials, but actually looking at molecular-level shapes [11:17] sounds like serious lasers === superm1 [n=superm1@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #launchpad [11:17] I blast molecules and watch what they do === mark007 [n=mark@128.227.130.247] has joined #launchpad [11:17] it's fairly fun [11:18] so the nick predates my *buntu involvement === ddaa has vague memories of laser flashes used in photographing BECs [11:18] sounds like fun at least. [11:18] we use Class4 lasers (highest class in US) [11:18] they aren't like those "shoot down missles" lasers [11:18] BECs is the probably the coolest lab toy at the moment... [11:18] but they'll blow the retina right off your eyeball if you take a direct hit [11:19] LaserJock: worked on them before? [11:19] we do all our research in the open too [11:19] ddaa: no, I'm a chemist, not so much an engineer [11:19] I meant Bose-Enstein Condensates [11:20] though it's probably more physics than chemistry [11:20] oh yeah [11:20] no, I haven't done anything with them [11:20] our Physics department does [11:20] and some of the research we do is somewhat related [11:21] we deal with molecules, BECs are generally atoms === ddaa nodes [11:21] ddaa spends too much time on the keyboard [11:21] for the Physics guys are molecules are huge [11:21] for the Biochemists they are tiny [11:22] if you want to see a movie of the motor molecule I have a .mov at http://www.laserjock.us/ubuntu/360nRotate-slow-loop.mov [11:22] another Really Cool Experiment is antimatter molecules... some folks managed to get positrons and antiprotons to combine... hey, that's collider chemistry! :) [11:24] I guess I'd love to work on this sort of stuff, but all my experiences in academia were failures. [11:25] LaserJock: movie looks intriguing [11:25] any idea of what folks are going to tie at the end of the motor? [11:27] well, we have bio/chemical/nuclear threat sensors [11:27] biochemists are going to attach both ends to DNA and spin it up [11:27] we have no use for bio-chemical-nuclear threat sensors in brazil! [11:27] that's good [11:28] here the Department of Defense and Department of Energy pay the bills [11:28] so we come up with good buzz words to tell them [11:28] can you get me a motor which prevents mountain bike accidents? [11:28] hmmm [11:28] there has got to be more money in saving honest cyclists [11:28] heh [11:29] there is one mechanical engineering professor here who works on cycles and skis [11:29] developing new frames for bikes, for instance [11:29] really! [11:29] of course they have to test them a lot ;-) [11:30] that's interesting. what sort of material or technology does he use? [11:31] not sure [11:32] this is from his bio: [11:32] "He earned his Ph.D. from UC Davis where he investigated the quantification and optimization of mountain bike suspension systems." [11:32] ah, suspensions [11:32] "Recent projects include: dynamics of humans during falls, optimization of mountain bike suspension systems, biomechanics of snowboarding, and the development of magneto- and electrorheological shock absorbers." [11:32] LaserJock, whereabouts is this? [11:32] Reno, Nevada, US [11:33] right next to the sierra mountains [11:33] I also study the dynamics of humans during falls [11:33] http://www.amigosdabike.com.br/foto/bv_ft_32676_18.jpg [11:33] (maybe he doesn't get as involved though) [11:33] kiko: ouch [11:34] was that during a competition? [11:34] somebody remind me to brake next time [11:34] yeah.

[11:38] no, I crashed about 15km out [11:38] but what can a man do [11:40] looks painful & fun [11:41] at least I remembered to smile :) [11:41] I thought the smile was because you were thinking "Wow, THAT was a RUSH!"
