| rohan | i am trying to use the shipit service, however it gives an error saying "the number of requested CDs was not provided" | 17:02 |
|---|---|---|
| thorwil | newz2000: so i had one person asking if it would be possible to have a fixed script to always show the appropriate countdown banner | 17:04 |
| newz2000 | thorwil: what do you mean? | 17:05 |
| thorwil | newz2000: is there currently a plan to switch to a get-ubuntu banner after the countdown series? | 17:05 |
| newz2000 | yes | 17:05 |
| newz2000 | I'll change it when the release team says its ready | 17:05 |
| newz2000 | next thursday!!!!! :-o | 17:05 |
| thorwil | newz2000: apparently a lazy person, wanting to never change the script for the banner on his site ... ;) | 17:05 |
| newz2000 | he won't have to | 17:06 |
| newz2000 | I'll make the change on my end and all will be well (and automatica) | 17:06 |
| thorwil | newz2000: said get-ubuntu banner already exists? | 17:06 |
| newz2000 | I think it's more like, "It's here!" | 17:06 |
| thorwil | newz2000: that's not what i mean. i'm well aware of that one. but it's not quite appropriate, say 2 weeks after the release | 17:08 |
| newz2000 | oh, I see. Well, we could change that, and the display.js file will always work and the countdown will resume 30 days from jaunty's release date. | 17:08 |
| thorwil | newz2000: i could offer a spiral themed get-ubuntu banner, if wanted | 17:10 |
| newz2000 | sure, if you want to do that I'll put it in about two weeks after release. | 17:10 |
| thorwil | ok, cool | 17:10 |
| thorwil | newz2000: what do you think, should i reduce the text to "Get Ununtu", or include the version numbers? | 18:39 |
| newz2000 | include the version # I think (if it looks good) | 18:39 |
| AliTabuger7 | I've been working even more on the spreadubuntu project, and was wondering if I could get some advice about multilingual content in drupal. Is ubuntu.com actually multilingual? I cannot tell. | 20:16 |
| newz2000 | AliTabuger7: it is not | 20:19 |
| newz2000 | I have no experience with doing multilingual content in drupal so don't know what the options are. | 20:19 |
| AliTabuger7 | Oh. Really? I guess that means I don't have to try too hard. I thought that since the OS is so multilingual, the website would be. | 20:20 |
| newz2000 | no, our policy in the past has been to use locos for l18n | 20:20 |
| newz2000 | though we've planned to make it easier for people to find localized content in the future | 20:21 |
| AliTabuger7 | well, you _may_ find some of what I've done with the SU website interesting if you wanted to try to make ubuntu.com multilingual. Interestingly, drupal uses .po files, so you could actually use launchpad for the translations. | 20:22 |
| newz2000 | Interesting. We'll see how it goes, it's too far off for me to think about at the moment. | 20:23 |
| AliTabuger7 | Yeah, I'm sure you are busy with 8.10 approaching quickly | 20:24 |
| * newz2000 wants to hide under the desk | 20:24 | |
| AliTabuger7 | By the way, is there anything I _can_ help you with? | 20:24 |
| newz2000 | not really | 20:25 |
| newz2000 | I just have a bunch of little things to do | 20:25 |
| newz2000 | there may be something later this week | 20:25 |
| newz2000 | right now i've hit that post-lunch slowdown and have to get my head back in the game | 20:25 |
| newz2000 | going to apply the latest patch to launchpad auth for the fridge | 20:26 |
