[10:30] <nand> hey
[10:31] <nand> newz2000: if I remember correctly, you mentioned some time ago an inter website navigation , maybe in the work?
[16:17] <qense> hello
[17:20] <nand> qense: hey!
[17:21] <nand> I'm getting back to you in a few minutes, I'm going back home
[17:21] <nand> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-community-task-website
[17:21] <nand> there will maybe be a session at UDS, you should register
[17:21] <qense> hello!
[17:21] <qense> register?
[17:21] <nand> just say that you're interested in
[17:21] <qense> oh
[17:21] <nand> and there will be a conf call system
[17:22] <nand> so you'll be able to hear us
[17:22] <qense> nice!
[17:22]  * nand will be back!
[17:22] <qense> I'm subscribing to the blueprint
[17:22] <qense> ok!
[18:16] <qense> wb nand
[18:16] <nand> qense: 2s phone call :p
[18:17] <qense> ok :)
[18:31] <qense> the Uncyclopedia isn't very postive about Ubuntu ;) Someone was frustrated...
[18:32] <nand> re
[18:33] <nand> qense: to answer your question from yesterday, yes, I follow this model quite closely, but I do not have much blocks
[18:34] <nand> and now that I have gained experience with Drupal, I would have done it differently, using the drupal node system
[18:34] <qense> if 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.
[18:35] <nand> indeed. In fact, I didn't even used the Drupal form system
[18:37] <nand> both approaches are valid, the thing is to keep the code clean and understandable :)
[18:38] <qense> By the way, I subscribed to the blueprint and marked the participation essential checkbox. Is that what you meant with registering?
[18:38] <nand> qense: btw, nice work at integrating the graphics!
[18:39] <qense> I just copied MadsRH's work to the Drupal theme. ;) He did the real work.
[18:39] <qense> I would really like some to have a look at the theme and clean it up though.
[18:40] <nand> qense: you registered, ok
[18:40] <nand> concerning the theme
[18:40] <nand> you should see with newz2000 to get the non modified one
[18:41] <nand> we modified it a bit to our needs, and not always cleanly
[18:41] <qense> ok
[18:43] <qense> The 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.
[18:44] <qense> Shall I add a link to the bazaar branch in the blueprint's whiteboard?
[18:44] <nand> that may help
[18:44] <nand> and I agree with some of the UI needing work
[18:45] <nand> and here come the powerfullness of Drupal!
[18:45] <nand> you started to learn a bit about it? theming?
[18:46] <qense> I haven't spend much time on theming, learning the form-system consumed a lot of time.
[18:47] <nand> the basic thing to know is : you can edit the way everything is rendered
[18:47] <nand> I mean, directly in the HTML
[18:47] <nand> besides CSS
[18:47] <nand> ok, dinner time for me, I'll be back!
[18:48] <qense> ok, have a nice dinner!
[19:33] <nand> re
[19:34] <qense> wb
[19:41] <qense> How's Brainstorm going? I read that a new big user will be uncovered soon...
[19:43] <nand> well, for now I'm still waiting for canonical sysadmins to do an upgrade, whose code is ready since september...
[19:43] <nand> and 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...
[19:44] <nand> the upgrade being http://devel.ideatorrent.org
[19:45] <qense> Why is it taking so long? Are the sysadmings too busy?
[19:45] <qense> 2 months are quite a lot in the computer world
[19:45] <nand> part 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)
[19:46] <nand> and they were busy with the 8.10 release
[19:46] <qense> the server was still using dapper?
[19:46] <nand> so I'm waiting patiently... hrm
[19:46] <nand> yep
[19:46] <qense> I hope it won't take much longer.
[19:47] <nand> yep..
[19:51] <qense> the skills overview block is now in my development repo! Next is the actual skill overview page.
[19:55] <nand> great! little by little, it's getting close to something usable
[19:56] <qense> yeah
[19:56] <qense> It's really nice to see it getting something. :)]
[19:57] <nand> And note that the drupal launchpad OpenID module is almost ready
[19:58] <nand> a few bug here and here, we'll discuss migration at the UDS
[19:58] <qense> nice!
[19:59] <qense> I'm curious what the outcome of the UDS will be.
[20:00] <qense> thank you for proposing it for discussion
[20:02] <nand> hopefully some interesting thoughts on how to optimize it
[20:02] <qense> yeah
[20:03] <nand> I'll keep you updated with the details to get the voip feed
[20:03] <qense> ok, thanks
[20:09] <qense> woot! I'm the 102th best idea contributor at Brainstorm!
[20:10] <qense> anyway, I'm off for today
[20:10] <qense> bye!
[20:10] <nand> eheh
