gmb_Ah, right.15:07
gmb_So.15:07
gmb_ I finally remembered to contact mthaddon about getting it into sourcecode15:08
gmb_But he's having problems pulling the branch from devpad (specifically bug 217701)15:08
gmb_So I don't know when this is going to be complete.15:08
gmb_I'll keep on top of it though.15:08

gmb_barry: Please.15:09
barrygmb: cool, thanks15:09
gmb_There's nothing like a looming action item to remind me :)15:09
barryspeaking of which...15:09

barrydone.  just. :)15:09
barrywe can discuss that one further on the ml15:10
barry * allenap to update PR and communicate to team new rejection policy15:10
allenapI think I did that.15:10
barryallenap: i think you did too!  thanks15:10
barrybtw, i brought this up at the last asiapac meeting and everyone thought it was a good idea too15:10
barryallenap: so thanks!15:10
allenapGreat.15:10
barry * bigjools to take brace closing policy to ml15:11
barrywhich was done too15:11
bigjoolsdone, but sorry I've not pushed to a resolution yet15:11
barryleading to an action item for me:15:11
flacostebikeshedding is going on15:11
barry * bigjools to take brace closing policy to ml15:11
* bigjools gets deja vu15:11
barryflacoste: you read the asiapac notes, didn't you? :)15:11
gmb_flacoste: That means something different to me than it does to you, I hope...15:11
flacostebarry:  indeed :-)15:11
barry:-D15:11
sinzuiI liked the colours15:12
* bigjools also wonders what bikeshedding is15:12
flacostebigjools: http://pink.bikeshed.org/15:12
barryflacoste: no, he wants http://mediumorchid.bikeshed.org/15:12
bigjoolsah15:13
barryanyway, i will try to drive us to a decision this week and we'll codify it in our style guide15:13
barrybigjools: thanks, i'm marking your action item as done!15:13
barry * bac to (re-)email the list about his PendingReviews notifier cronscript15:13
bacdone15:13
bigjoolsPEP8 is generally "bikeshedding" in that case :)15:13
flacostebigjools: actually, that has a better explanation: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/misc.html#BIKESHED-PAINTING15:14
barrybac: yep, thanks!  i tried it but i'm not getting the emails when run under cron so i have to figure out what's going on.  but when run from hand, it worked just fine15:14
sinzuibarry I thought https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/private/launchpad/2008-April/027347.html was your final opinion on the closing brace.15:14
barrysinzui: i'm happy to call the discussion over then :)15:15
barrywill follow up on the ml15:15
barry[TOPIC] queue status15:15
MootBotNew Topic:  queue status15:15
barryi know there were 12 branches on PR when i finished my OCR.  thanks everyone for cranking away on these15:16
barryi think we're largely caught up?15:16
intellectronicacompletely15:16
barryyou guys totally rock15:16
schwukbarry: the only problem was you put four branches on my queue on Monday, and I was out until today.15:17
barryschwuk: sorry about that.  didn't realize you were out. :(15:17
schwukTwo went to on-call, one is done and one is in progress, so they're caught up with.15:17
barrybtw, my apologies to the mentorees.  i loaded you guys up :)15:17
flacosteschwuk: actually, you should put a note in your queue when not avqailable15:17
flacostethat applies to everybody, btw ^^^15:18
barryflacoste: +115:18
schwukflacoste: I know - I realised afterwards. However the canonicaladmin and the team calendar was updated.15:18
bigjoolscan I put a note in saying that soyuz is destroying my social life? :)15:18
allenapNo worries barry, you gave me two of my own branches, which meant I had an opportunity to try out the new rejection policy :)15:18
flacostelol15:18
barryallenap: i did that on purpose then :)15:19
barryallenap: yeah, sorry about that15:19
barryanything else on the queue?15:19
allenapbarry: It was fine, I noticed it pretty soon, so they didn't get old.15:19
barryallenap: great.  and the rejection policy worked out okay?15:20
allenapbarry: I can confirm that it went smoothly and according to expectations.15:20
barryallenap: fantastic15:20
barry515:20
schwukbarry: I've got a number of merge-approved branches in my queue from Friday. Can I just remove them, or wait for the owners to cleanup?15:20
barryschwuk: the owners are supposed to clean them up, but i've found that often doesn't happen.  if they're still in your queue after they land, you can delete them yourself15:21
bigjoolswe should send an email to remind people to clean up PR when their branch lands - again15:21
schwukbigjools: +115:21
sinzuischwuk: I often remove landed branches15:21
bigjoolsit wastes my time to find out if they landed or not15:22
barrybigjools: good idea.  btw, pending-reviews will tell you if they've landed because the branch will have a strike-thru15:22
barrybigjools: but i agree, owners should clean up after themselves.  will you send that email?15:22
bigjoolssure15:22
* schwuk nudges gmb_ intellectronica, cprov, BjornT, and bigjools to clean up their branches in his queue15:23

intellectronicaehm15:28
intellectronicasome folks can't use the review plugin15:29
intellectronicawe should try to get it sorted, since using the review plugin is now mandatory15:29

intellectronicahttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr-lpreview/+bug/19521715:29
ubotuLaunchpad bug 195217 in bzr-lpreview "ReadOnly error when running bzr review-submit" [Undecided,New]15:29
intellectronicabac, you win15:29
barryi think i had that once, but i "fixed" it by blowing away my rf working tree and re-branching it15:30
gmb_I suspect that there aren't that many eyeballs on the lpreview bugs.15:30
gmb_I know I haven't had much chance to look at them recently.15:30
gmb_And I suspect that mwhudson_ is in the same kind of position (or worse)15:31
barryyeah, we should all chip in on this15:31
gmb_+115:31
intellectronicabarry: wow, could you comment in the bug. that's a bit brute force, but if it works...15:32
bacintellectronica suggested we get abel to do more experimentation and add info to the bug report, since he can reproduce it.15:32
barry[AGREED] we should all chip in on watching lpreview bugs15:32
MootBotAGREED received:  we should all chip in on watching lpreview bugs15:32
barryintellectronica: will do15:32
baci'll contact abel to ask him for more info15:32
gmb_barry: Could you add an action item for me to prod mwh about the 800-line limit patch I did?15:32
gmb_I know he had some concerns about it but I haven't heard from him since, so I need to chase it up.15:33
barry[ACTION] gmb to prod mwh again about the 800-line limit patch15:33
MootBotACTION received:  gmb to prod mwh again about the 800-line limit patch15:33
gmb_Ta15:34
barrywe have some time left; does anybody have anything else not on the agenda?15:34
barry515:34
sinzuiI was wondering if we all feel comfortable reviewing Javascript?15:34
gmb_Hmm.15:35
barrysinzui: and css15:35
allenapDo we have JS coding standards?15:35
gmb_It's not really my forte certainly.15:35
intellectronicaallenap: sort of, yes15:35
barrywho are our js experts?15:35
flacosteintellectronica15:35
flacosteSteveA15:35
intellectronicathere's a wiki page, and we try to update it when we can15:35
flacosteany one else?15:36
allenapI'm not bad at js.15:36
flacosteprobably sinzui15:36
sinzuiI was reviewing one of bigjools's branches. I knew several ways of doing something, but I decided to confer with intellectronica because we do not have a lot of rulings about how we write code.15:36
intellectronicai'm always happy to give advice if someone reviews js code and they aren't sure15:36
* bigjools 's js came from Google, it must have been perfect already15:37
intellectronicaand if, like sinzui did, this results in a nice addition to the coding standards wiki page, even better15:37
barryintellectronica: can you add a link to the js styleguide on this page: https://launchpad.canonical.com/TipsForReviewers15:37
intellectronicabarry: sure thing15:37
barry[ACTION] intellectronica to add js styleguide link to TipsForReviewers15:38
MootBotACTION received:  intellectronica to add js styleguide link to TipsForReviewers15:38
barryintellectronica: thanks15:38
barryintellectronica, SteveA, sinzui can you put together some resources or ideas for helping others on the team get more proficient at reviewing js?15:39
sinzuibarry: I have some I can add.15:39
barryi think this would also help us as devs as we start incorporating more js onto the site15:39
* sinzui may want css in there too since they are connected in the browser engines.15:39
barrysinzui: awesome, thanks.  add it to the js styleguide i think15:39
barrysinzui: yes, definitely15:39
barryi don't think we have a css styleguide, so i think it makes sense to combine the two, do you?15:40
intellectronicai don't think css and js should be together15:40
sinzuibarry: The style object in JS depends a lot on the CSS engine. You cannot make assumptions when working with that, but that is the only intersection.15:41
intellectronicaand i think we should ask mpt to own the css guide, because he's probably the most knowledgable about it15:41
barryfair enough15:41
barry[ACTION] sinzui to update js styleguide page with helpful resources15:41
MootBotACTION received:  sinzui to update js styleguide page with helpful resources15:41
barryokay, 3 minutes left.  anything else?15:42
mpt#1 on the CSS style guide: Stop ordering the style sheet chronologically!15:43
sinzuiOh, that would be bad15:44
barrympt!  is there a css styleguide and if not can you put one together?15:44
intellectronicampt: how should we order them, then?15:44
=== kiko is now known as kiko-afk
mptbarry, no, and yes, in my copious spare time15:45
barrympt ;)15:45
mptintellectronica, for starters, there are sections in the style sheet for each application15:45
barryokay, we're out of time15:46
sinzuinearest to the subject matter (related selectors) to take precedence without stealing precedence for other rules.15:46
mptCode, Bugs, Blueprints, etc15:46
barry#endmeeting15:46
mptSo one very helpful step would be putting app-specific styles in their proper sections.15:46
