VolansHi emgent01:12
newz2000hi emgent. I will probably not be the person who applies the fix for this so I'll find out the same time as you when the bug is closed. That wiki is managed by the Canonical IS dept (though I do help manage its theme).03:09

flaccidhey guys, after logging into the wiki, when i go t a subsequent page it seems my session is dropped and im logged out13:11
flaccidthis happens with both Opera and konq and whether i sign in with OpenID or launchpad account13:12
jpdsflaccid: That Q may have more response in #canonical-sysadmin. Sorry.13:15
flaccidnp13:15
newz2000good morning14:45
newz2000flaccid: #c-s is a the right place to go, however you may need to give more of a hint which wiki you're referring to. (I suspect help.ubuntu.com/community)14:46
flaccidyes i did that newz200014:46
flaccidapparently there is bugs on launchpad but nobody is respondin to doing something about it despite how critical it is14:47
newz2000flaccid: did any of the sysadmins respond to you?14:48
flaccidonly to say [22:33] <emgent> flaccid: knowed issue.14:49
flaccid[22:36] <emgent> flaccid: if i remember well there are few bugs about it in LP14:49
newz2000ok, that person is not a sysadmin unfortunately14:54
newz2000I'll see if I can find out the best person to bring this to.14:54
flaccidthanks muchly14:56
ryanakcanewz2000: would you know if it's possible to have Drupal revert to <x> date? I'm trying to figure out how to best setup my test site... I want to be able to mess with it, but if I mess up too much, I can revert it to it's original pristine state15:11
newz2000ryanakca: you can do that, you have to take periodic snapshots of your database to do that. When you want to revert, just restore the database.15:12
newz2000You can backup your database manually when you want a restore point...15:12
newz2000mysqldump -u username -p databasename > dump-2008-07-14-0001.sql15:12
* ryanakca nods...it'll be a PITA for the sysadmins... better just to ask the sysadmins for a current snapshot of kubuntu.org and I can set it up here...15:13
newz2000then to restore just drop and recreate the database, then mysql -u username -p databasename < dump-2008-07-14-0001.sql15:13
newz2000ryanakca: I can do a db dump for you15:13
flaccidwhat kubuntu site(s) are drupal based?15:13
ryanakcaflaccid: www.kubuntu.org15:14
flaccidwhat a waste15:14
ryanakcanewz2000: please, thanks :)15:14
newz2000flaccid: ???15:14
flaccidi should shutup really15:14
VolansHi newz2000, hi all :)15:14
flaccidsorry i have much higher standards15:15
newz2000flaccid: constructive criticism is ok15:15
newz2000just make sure its constructive15:15
newz2000Volans: howdy15:15
flaccidnah i'll just shutup. the truth is the site if fine and drupal is ok. im thinking now both for the desktop and matching website and ibex, new artwork is needed15:17
ryanakcanewz2000: shall I refer those wanting to help with kubuntu.org to the ubuntu-website ML ?15:17
ryanakcaOr should I ask NG for a kubuntu-website one?15:17
newz2000ryanakca: you are welcome to use the web presence team for kubuntu15:18
ryanakca(I've had a good dozen, two dozen people poke me over the past two months)15:18
newz2000ooh, that's cool15:18
newz2000if you think the joint effort will make things more productive then go for it15:18
* ryanakca nods, I've lost track of most of them, so I want them all to join a ML so I can track them and try to coordinate it :)15:18
flaccidwhat i'd like to find out is the plan fr artwork for ibex (and thus exported back to website)15:20
flaccidfr=for15:20
newz2000flaccid: we would too. Unfortunately the art team is in charge of that and they have a special deadline which is quite late in the release cycle.15:20
newz2000Therefore it will probably not happen, the heron was a rare incident15:20
flaccidthe are team doesn't seem to do much to be honest15:21
flaccidart even15:21
flaccidbesides a new logo. i think a lot of thinking and time should be invested with the 'trimmings'15:22
flaccidor 'style'15:22
newz2000regarding the art team, It is a challenge. There is a lot of enthusiasm but taking a work of art from idea to a polished and refined piece ready for distribution takes a lot of effort.15:22
newz2000flaccid: I think it will be a very very long time before Ubuntu will have a new logo15:23
flaccidwell the quality of the logo is the main problem15:24
newz2000this is not the right channel for that discussion15:24
Volansnewz2000: for bug 248405 just filled in LP15:25
ubot3Malone bug 248405 in ubuntu-website "Sorry, the page you are looking for was not found" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/24840515:25
Volansthe link to the footer of packages.ubuntu.com will be: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy ???15:25
Volans/will/should/15:25
VolansI have replied to the bug15:28
newz2000ok. I think a good thing to do is put in a redirect15:28
newz2000and fix the footer15:29
Volansok15:29
newz2000but all I can do is put in a redirect... I have no clue who manages that site.15:29
newz2000there needs to be a wiki for this kind of thing really15:29
flaccidgoodbye15:30
ryanakcanewz2000: hmm... Riddell would rather use the kubuntu-devel ML and #kubuntu-devel... oh well :)15:32
newz2000that's fine too.15:32
newz2000he's a busy guy, I can understand him not wanting to subscribe to too many lists15:32
newz2000Volans: actually, I think a redirect is a bad idea, only about 3 hits to that page in the last month.15:33
* newz2000 doesn't like too many redirects15:33
Volans3 hits??? LOL15:33
Volansnewz2000: whois this guy? <link href="mailto:frank@lichtenheld.de" rev="made"/>15:34
newz2000I'm not sure15:34
newz2000sending him an email now though15:34
ryanakcamethinks he's the guy in charge of packages.ubuntu.org15:34
ryanakcas/org/com/15:34
Volansthere is an author meta tag15:34
Volans<meta content="Frank Lichtenheld, frank@lichtenheld.de" name="Author"/>15:34
ryanakcaYep, second line on packages.u.c15:35
Volansalso the footer: To report a problem with the web site, e-mail....15:35
Volansfound it in Launchpad15:36
VolansI assign the but to him newz200015:36
Volanss/but/bug/15:38
boredandbloggingnewz2000: has a meeting been scheduled yet?15:44
newz2000no, I didn't ever get a reply from mdke.15:44
newz2000he warned me that he was going to be tied up for a bit so maybe we should just do it without him15:45
newz2000I'll send him one more quikc email. The start page is an important project so if he can't participate I need to talk to Jono and Gerry to see how they want to deal with it.15:47
boredandbloggingright15:48
ryanakcanewz2000: btw, the google analytics for the download attempts doesn't seem to be working... the main website is, just not the download page16:05
newz2000ryanakca: which part works and which part doesn't?16:13
ryanakcanewz2000: ``Kubuntu'' works, ``Download Attempts (Kubuntu)'' doesn't16:15
newz2000ryanakca: I'll bet they're getting recorded on the ubuntu.com site16:15
newz2000yes, that's what is happening16:16
newz2000that will be a challenge to overcome, I'm going to have to think about this one for the moment16:16
newz2000in the meantime, if you or Jonathan need a report let me know because I can distinguish them from ubuntu downloads in my current reporting system16:17
ryanakcanewz2000: ok, no rush I don't think. I'll be back in a bit, laundry needs doing :)16:17
* ryanakca nods16:17
ryanakcaDoes Jonathan have an analytics account?16:18
newz2000I'm not sure16:18
* ryanakca asks... *twiddle*16:18
boredandbloggingdoesn't google analytics allow multiple trackers per domain?16:19
boredandbloggingor maybe that on subdomains and not specific URLs16:19
ryanakcanewz2000: nope16:19
newz2000well, the option I know of is to use filters to separate results into different reports16:19
boredandbloggingah, that might be it16:20
cody-somervillewe need to get the calendar fixed on the fridge16:21
newz2000boredandblogging: I think the easiest way is for me to email him a report periodically, like the end of the month or something like that.16:21
newz2000cody-somerville: which problem?16:21
newz2000is it the blank page (out of memmory) problem?16:21
cody-somervillenewz2000, no the malformed ical16:22
boredandbloggingcody-somerville: you mean where it doesn't work with google calendar?16:23
* cody-somerville nods.16:23
newz2000I honestly don't know what to do about that16:23
cody-somervillenewz2000, I do.16:24
newz2000I applied a patch to the event tracker and it made no diff16:24
newz2000oooh16:24
newz2000what do you do?16:24
cody-somervilleOne moment please.16:25
cody-somervilleWell, now that I think about it, the best solution might actually to use the Google API.16:26
cody-somervilleI wonder how developed the plugins are for it16:27
cody-somervillenewz2000, From looking at the Drupal bug tracker, it seems there are a number of "patches" for the ical problem16:37
cody-somervillenewz2000, which one did you apply?16:37
newz2000let me check, its been a while...16:37
newz2000cody-somerville: I can't tell know, I did it on a test server and I think I tore it down.16:38
newz2000it looks like I installed the even module on fridge Sept 20th last year, so its getting old16:39
newz2000it looks like that's the most recent version in the 5.x.1.x series16:40
newz2000I dont' know what the status is of the 2.x series16:40
cody-somervilleWell, the iCal file doesn't validate16:41
cody-somervillenewz2000, they don't even have 2.x series hosted anymore16:45
newz2000it feels like this module is dead16:45
ryanakcanewz2000: Is there a way I can change bug importances against kubuntu-website without joining the ubuntu-website team?16:46
newz2000ryanakca: I dont' know, but if you want to be part of the ubuntu-website team its no problem16:46
newz2000we really only use it for bugs16:47
newz2000or you can tell me what bugs you need changed and I can do it16:47
cody-somervillenewz2000, did you do the Kubuntu website?16:48
newz2000ryanakca is the kubuntu webmaster16:48
cody-somervillenewz2000, so, are you able to just upgrade the module?16:51
newz2000cody-somerville: I have write access to that site, if that's what you mean. However I don't see an upgrade available16:51
cody-somervilleSo what did you mean by "I dont' know what the status is of the 2.x series"16:52
cody-somerville?16:52
newz2000it's marked as dev and there's no released version16:52
newz2000which indicates it's something not ready for production use16:52
cody-somervilledo you mean 6.x?16:53
newz2000no, the 2.x version of the event module16:53
newz2000you'll see the version numbers are 5.x.Y.x16:53
newz2000the Y indicates the version of the module (1 or 2)16:54
cody-somervillenewz2000, what do you think about just using a google calendar?16:55
newz2000I'm flexible16:56
newz2000Are you suggesting creating some kind of programming link between fridge and google calendar?16:56
cody-somervillenewz2000, Maybe just embed it?16:57
newz2000cody-somerville: can you elaborate?16:57
cody-somervillenewz2000, It is possible to embed Google Calendars on a webpage. So we could manage the calendar in Google and on the firdge, we would import from the Google Calendar.16:57
boredandbloggingcody-somerville: you mean like http://www.ubuntu-georgia.org/node/1916:58
boredandblogging?16:58
cody-somervilleThis provides the additional benefit that people would no longer have to request us to add stuff to the calendar. They can propose things to the Google Calendar and we could approve or decline it.16:58
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, yes16:58
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, but not squished16:59
boredandblogginglol, right16:59
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, or... we can import the data too16:59
boredandbloggingas long as the meeting bot for #ubuntu-meeting can read it, might be interesting17:00
newz2000having a google cal might make some other things easier...17:00
cody-somervilleGoogle Calendar would produce ical, html, xml, etc. etc.17:00
* cody-somerville nods.,17:00
newz2000boredandblogging: you know your "loco event problem"?17:00
Volansgood idea cody-somerville! :)17:00
newz2000maybe someone on the web presence team would like to create a simple application to allow teams to publish to the calendar after authenticating via launchpad17:01
boredandbloggingnewz2000: not sure which one you are referring to17:01
newz2000the challenge with trying to streamline getting events from loco teams17:01
boredandbloggingnewz2000: ah, right17:02
boredandbloggingnewz2000: do you think it would be acceptable to migrate over to google calendar?17:02
newz2000sure17:02
newz2000I can't think of any reason not to17:02
boredandbloggingthink it opens up some doors17:02
newz2000boredandblogging: can I take a guess at what font you used for the georgia ubuntu logo?17:03
* newz2000 guesses "georgia"17:03
boredandblogging:-)17:03
cody-somervilleSo, shall I create a calendar? :)17:04
newz2000+117:04
boredandbloggingwait17:04
boredandblogginghow are updates going to be moved to #ubuntu-meeting17:05
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, How are they now?17:05
boredandbloggingthought there was a bot that dealt with that17:05
Volansyou can leave the fridge calendar system and use google calendar only as another source for the fridge calendare17:05
boredandbloggingcan drupal grab other iCal?17:06
boredandbloggingprobably some module to do that17:06
boredandbloggingis there an ubuntu google account somewhere?17:07
boredandbloggingor maybe create a fridgecalendar@gmail account?17:07
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, I can just create it with my account17:08
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, we can all edit it with our own google accounts17:08
newz2000boredandblogging: there's no official account... I'd suggest creating one and giving all the news-team editors access to it17:08
cody-somervillenewz2000, there isn't really a need for a centralized account17:08
newz2000(creating one arbitrarily I mean)17:08
newz2000right17:08
boredandbloggingcody-somerville: lets make a fridgecalendar@gmail17:08
cody-somervilleThe calendar isn't attached to a single account17:08
newz2000I mean a centralized cal and then share it with others17:09
cody-somervilleNo need to create a new account though17:09
cody-somervilleIf I create it, I can add all the fridge editors as admins with same privs17:09
boredandbloggingyeah, lets create a main one and just give access to all fridge editors17:09
* cody-somerville is confused.17:10
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, Are you saying that we *should* create a google account and give access to all fridge editors?17:10
newz2000boredandblogging and I both agree with your idea for you to create the cal and then share it with everyone17:10
newz2000on the team17:10
cody-somervilleOkay :) Splendid.17:10
boredandbloggingcody-somerville: yes, create a fridgecalendar@gmail17:10
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, Why do you feel that is required?17:11
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, and why not make it the mailing list e-mail?17:11
cody-somerville(google accounts don't have to be gmail account)17:11
boredandbloggingthere really should not be emails sent to the news-team list, but if there are, it will send it to everyone on the new-steam17:13
boredandbloggingand thats not needed17:13
boredandbloggingi should clarify, any administrative emails sent out by google17:14
boredandbloggingwould just spam everyone on the list17:14
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, Okay. My question is: Why do we need to create an account?17:14
boredandbloggingcody-somerville: it will be easier to manage17:15
boredandblogginginstead of having it one a specific individual's account17:16
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, I can add each member of the fridge to the calendar with their own google account.17:16
boredandbloggingeven though it s shared17:16
cody-somervilleIt isn't attached to that one person.17:16
cody-somervilleIt is equally shared17:16
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, my permissions/access to the calendar would be exactly the same as yours.17:17
boredandbloggingi understand that17:17
newz2000ok, I'm going to kind of go offline for a bit to finish a project. If someone needs me, email me please. If I don't hear back from mdke by the end of the day I'll go ahead and start the scheduling process for our meeting.17:18
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, well, if you'd like to create a user agnostic account sure but I can go ahead and create the calendar now, right?17:19
boredandbloggingcody-somerville: go for it17:19
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, whats your google account? or do you just want me to send it to your ubuntu account?17:20
boredandbloggingcody-somerville: boredandblogging @ gmail17:20
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, sent17:21
boredandbloggingcody-somerville: awesome, got it17:24

cody-somervilleIt is no daylight savings18:21
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, what is it off by?18:21
boredandbloggingeven though it says GMT, think its showing EST18:22
boredandbloggingmaybe the import didn't work18:22
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, I'd say not.18:24
cody-somervilleand infact, I think I remember reading a bug about that18:24
boredandbloggingthe thing is, if we just clean it up once, it should be fine18:35
boredandbloggingprobably won't be doing multiple imports18:35
* cody-somerville nods.18:39
boredandblogginglooks like ubotu is responsible for setting the meetings in #ubuntu-meeting18:41
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, yea, I already talked with Jussi18:41
cody-somervilleIt uses iCal18:41
cody-somervilleSo we're set18:41
boredandbloggingdoes it assume all meetings are in #ubuntu-meeting or does it actually check the description?18:42
cody-somervilleHow would it check?18:43
boredandblogginglooks like there are description fields in the ICS18:43
vbabiynewz2000: are you around?19:18
* Volans dinner, come back later bye19:55
boredandbloggingcody-somerville: how do I add a LoCo calendar to the google fridge calendar?20:02
boredandblogginglike getting it to subscribe to another google calendar20:03
cody-somervilleInvite j5q85mmi6ujvjtii5s1n3li5io@group.calendar.google.com20:04
boredandbloggingthe LoCo would have to invite?20:05
cody-somervilleyes20:07
boredandbloggingso afterwards if someone subscribes to the fridge calendar, they will also see the loco calendar?20:08
melat0ninnewz2000: i've created a wiki page for mistakes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WebsiteMistakes20:11
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, yup20:12
cody-somervilleboredandblogging, well, only for events they add to our calendar20:12
boredandbloggingwonder if it would be possible to have one calendar that people can subscribe to which would aggregate a bunch of other calendars20:13
boredandbloggingcody-somerville: you want jussi to try the google calendar url? think I've fixed all the times20:38

cody-somervilleBut when you look at your calendar20:42
cody-somervilleDo you see the events as they would in your time?20:42
boredandbloggingnope20:46
