flacosteTopic: Queue status15:08
flacosteaccording to the QueueStatus, there are two stub's branch needing a review15:09
flacosteone branch that has the wrong status (that's my fault)15:09
flacosteand another branch which is 7 days old but not marked over SLA?15:10
flacostesalgado, that's the abel's branch, what's the status there?15:10
salgadoit's merge-approved, IIRC15:10
salgadolet me check15:10
salgadoyeah, I approved it15:10
flacosteok15:11
* salgado updates the status15:11
flacostei guess the two stub's branch are the ASIAPAC meeting responsibility15:11
flacosteanything else to add on queue status?15:11
sinzuiIt's not showing all branches15:12
flacostesinzui: i think we have another item to discuss that15:12

sinzuischwuk: Are you going to take an on-call slot?15:13

bacgavin and did our first on-call yesterday and it went really well15:14
allenapGoing well, did a couple of reviews on call yesterday, which bac mostly thought were good.15:14
* schwuk remembers to update the schedule15:14
* gmb cheers at the idea of having even more people to throw branches at on a Friday15:14

flacoste * Review process15:16
flacostewe have 3 items for discussion on the process15:16
flacostefirst one:15:16
flacoste    * '''Pre-imp calls are falling by the wayside''' (gmb)15:16
gmbflacoste: Was that not covered last week?15:16
flacosteTOPIC: 'Pre-imp calls are falling by the wayside (gmb)15:16
* gmb was on vacation15:16
flacostei guess15:16
sinzuiI was covered here and in asiapac15:17
flacostethere was an action about "barry to remind lp devs to do pre-impl calls "15:17
flacostedid that occured?15:17
* flacoste can't remember15:17
* gmb didn't see anything15:17
flacostei guess not then15:17
flacosteACTION: barry to remind lp devs to do pre-impl calls (repost)15:17
flacosteso let's move on15:17
flacosteTOPIC: pending-reviews is missing branches listed on PendingReviews (sinzui)15:18
* flacoste hands the mic to sinzui15:18
sinzuiI noticed that the two of jtv's branches I reviewed are not on pending-reviews15:18
flacostesinzui: is it because they are not on PendingReviews, or because of a bug?15:19
sinzuiI also noticed that one of cprov's branches that was marked merge-approved several days ago still states it was need-reply15:19
sinzuiThe branchs were/are on PendingReviews. All came from the general queue to my queue15:19
sinzuiI removed cprovs branch because I saw the commit message.15:20
flacostejtv's branch are still missing though15:20
sinzuiright15:21
flacostei guess there is a bug in the script15:21
flacostejamesh maintains that15:21
flacostesinzui: can you email jamesh about the problem?15:21
flacostecc list15:21
sinzuiI will15:21
flacosteACTION: sinzui to email jamesh about some branches not being picked up by pending-reviews15:22
flacosteanything else to add here?15:22

flacoste115:22
flacosteTOPIC: Is there a policy on private name mangling? (allenap)15:22
flacosteallenap has the floor15:22
* allenap starts copying and pasting frantically.15:23
allenapA branch I reviewed yesterday had a _pseudo_private method on a mix-in class. Not that it's a big danger, but this seems like a sensible place to use __private_name_mangling. Or is mangling frowned upon, or deprecated?15:23
flacosteallenap: what's your opinion15:24
allenapI'm all for it, but I wanted other's opinions.15:24
intellectronicai don't think we should do this unless it's really dangerous for a consumer to touch an attribute15:24
allenapBut, even in this case, it didn't matter too much. I wanted to see if there were good reasons for or against.15:24
intellectronicayou never know, for example, when you might need to monkeypatch15:25
gmbI'm with intellectronica here.15:25
gmbNot that I'm advocating monkeypatching ;)15:25
gmbBut I don't think we'd gain too much from using mangling.15:25
flacostethe problem with mangling is that it makes it very hard to work with the attribute15:25
flacostein the debugger15:25
flacosteor in subclass15:25
flacosteso i usually prefer _pseudo_private to __mangling15:26
flacostebut this all might be because I'm an ex-perl hacker and I live by the motto 'we rather you don't come in our living room because you weren't invited, not because I have a shotgun'15:26
gmbflacoste: There's also the Python motto "We kind of expect you to know what you're doing; on your head be it if you don't."15:27
gmbWhich is less snappy but...15:27
BjornT_+1 for _pseudo_private15:27
allenapI don't really see name mangling as a way to prevent access, more as a way to avoid shooting self in foot.15:27
gmballenap: True, but the test suite *should* pick up on foot-shooting anyway.15:28
allenapOkay, consensus seems to be for _singles, so I'll add that to the guidelines on the wiki.15:28
intellectronicaallenap: you see, if you didn't have a shotgun, you wouldn't have the problem of shooting yourself in the foot ;)15:28
allenapPerl hackers and their shotguns, heh.15:28
allenapflacoste: Back to you I think.15:29
intellectronicaanyway, gotta go now. my apologies again15:29
flacosteACTION: allenap to update Reviewers' guidelines with _pseudo_private policy15:29
flacostethat's it for the items on the agenda15:29
flacostewe have some time left15:29
flacosteanybody has a topic to propose?15:29
