nandnewz2000: if I remember correctly, you mentioned some time ago an inter website navigation , maybe in the work?10:31
qensehello16:17
nandqense: hey!17:20
nandI'm getting back to you in a few minutes, I'm going back home17:21
nandhttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-community-task-website17:21
nandthere will maybe be a session at UDS, you should register17:21
qensehello!17:21
qenseregister?17:21
nandjust say that you're interested in17:21
qenseoh17:21
nandand there will be a conf call system17:21
nandso you'll be able to hear us17:22
qensenice!17:22
* nand will be back!17:22
qenseI'm subscribing to the blueprint17:22
qenseok!17:22

qensewb nand18:16
nandqense: 2s phone call :p18:16
qenseok :)18:17
qensethe Uncyclopedia isn't very postive about Ubuntu ;) Someone was frustrated...18:31

nandqense: to answer your question from yesterday, yes, I follow this model quite closely, but I do not have much blocks18:33
nandand now that I have gained experience with Drupal, I would have done it differently, using the drupal node system18:34
qenseif you'd really follow the philosophy you'd also have to use models for chaning data, but that's hard to use in forms, since those hooks are outside the controller.18:34
nandindeed. In fact, I didn't even used the Drupal form system18:35
nandboth approaches are valid, the thing is to keep the code clean and understandable :)18:37
qenseBy the way, I subscribed to the blueprint and marked the participation essential checkbox. Is that what you meant with registering?18:38
nandqense: btw, nice work at integrating the graphics!18:38
qenseI just copied MadsRH's work to the Drupal theme. ;) He did the real work.18:39
qenseI would really like some to have a look at the theme and clean it up though.18:39
nandqense: you registered, ok18:40
nandconcerning the theme18:40
nandyou should see with newz2000 to get the non modified one18:40
nandwe modified it a bit to our needs, and not always cleanly18:41
qenseok18:41
qenseThe interface overall could use some polishing. The manage list is ugly and the skills at the 'new-task-page' are placed under each other, which will result in a terribly long page when more skills would be added.18:43
qenseShall I add a link to the bazaar branch in the blueprint's whiteboard?18:44
nandthat may help18:44
nandand I agree with some of the UI needing work18:44
nandand here come the powerfullness of Drupal!18:45
nandyou started to learn a bit about it? theming?18:45
qenseI haven't spend much time on theming, learning the form-system consumed a lot of time.18:46
nandthe basic thing to know is : you can edit the way everything is rendered18:47
nandI mean, directly in the HTML18:47
nandbesides CSS18:47
nandok, dinner time for me, I'll be back!18:47
qenseok, have a nice dinner!18:48

qenseHow's Brainstorm going? I read that a new big user will be uncovered soon...19:41
nandwell, for now I'm still waiting for canonical sysadmins to do an upgrade, whose code is ready since september...19:43
nandand I'm guessing the beta status of the software prevent that big user to go live, since I'm waiting for this upgrade to get a live testing...19:43
nandthe upgrade being http://devel.ideatorrent.org19:44
qenseWhy is it taking so long? Are the sysadmings too busy?19:45
qense2 months are quite a lot in the computer world19:45
nandpart of the problem is, the upgrade is not trivial (dapper->hardy upgrade of the Xen host where Brainstorm and a dozen others websites are hosted)19:45
nandand they were busy with the 8.10 release19:46
qensethe server was still using dapper?19:46
nandso I'm waiting patiently... hrm19:46
nandyep19:46
qenseI hope it won't take much longer.19:46
nandyep..19:47
qensethe skills overview block is now in my development repo! Next is the actual skill overview page.19:51
nandgreat! little by little, it's getting close to something usable19:55
qenseyeah19:56
qenseIt's really nice to see it getting something. :)]19:56
nandAnd note that the drupal launchpad OpenID module is almost ready19:57
nanda few bug here and here, we'll discuss migration at the UDS19:58
qensenice!19:58
qenseI'm curious what the outcome of the UDS will be.19:59
qensethank you for proposing it for discussion20:00
nandhopefully some interesting thoughts on how to optimize it20:02
qenseyeah20:02
nandI'll keep you updated with the details to get the voip feed20:03
qenseok, thanks20:03
qensewoot! I'm the 102th best idea contributor at Brainstorm!20:09
