| Rinchen | hi beuno | 16:58 |
| Rinchen | er | 16:58 |
| Rinchen | boredandblogging, | 16:58 |
| Rinchen | now Martin's going to go "huh, what?" :-) | 16:59 |
| beuno | Rinchen, well, I'll take it like you where just being nice and saying "hi" | 16:59 |
| beuno | so, hi Rinchen! | 16:59 |
| boredandblogging | │ PriceChild | 16:59 |
| boredandblogging | well that sucked | 16:59 |
| Rinchen | actually, he's a nice guy ;-) | 17:00 |
| boredandblogging | Rinchen: Nicolas Deschildre, the guy who did brainstorm... | 17:00 |
| boredandblogging | and I have been talking about giving the Fridge a makeover | 17:00 |
| boredandblogging | Rinchen: http://www.ndeschildre.net/downloads/UbuntuNews.html | 17:00 |
| boredandblogging | the content is obviously not right | 17:01 |
| boredandblogging | but something along those lines | 17:01 |
| boredandblogging | thinking LP integration as well | 17:01 |
| boredandblogging | so people can comment | 17:01 |
| boredandblogging | and have their names pulled from LP (and whatever else) | 17:01 |
| boredandblogging | some nice video embedding as well | 17:01 |
| boredandblogging | Rinchen: also pulling in posts from planet | 17:02 |
| boredandblogging | and sticking them | 17:02 |
| boredandblogging | so they are around foever | 17:02 |
| boredandblogging | forever | 17:02 |
| Rinchen | boredandblogging, the one objection to the planet that's been raised before is that it's a duplication | 17:03 |
| Rinchen | boredandblogging, if it wasn't front page stuff, then I don't think it matters | 17:03 |
| Rinchen | boredandblogging, as in, we can do it | 17:03 |
| Rinchen | boredandblogging, you'd want to be selective though because not everything on the planet is ubuntu | 17:03 |
| boredandblogging | Rinchen: exactly, 99.99% of the planet wouldn't show up | 17:04 |
| tyche | boredandblogging: is there a way to set up sections, and index them? | 17:04 |
| boredandblogging | just worthwhie posts | 17:04 |
| Rinchen | boredandblogging, what software is that modeled on? Drupal? | 17:05 |
| boredandblogging | tyche yes | 17:05 |
| boredandblogging | Rinchen: yes, all drupal | 17:05 |
| tyche | GREAT! | 17:05 |
| boredandblogging | everything would be tagged | 17:05 |
| Rinchen | boredandblogging, ok. Keeping in mind we have to use the .5 and not the .6 series, I say write it up. | 17:05 |
| boredandblogging | are there plans for 6.x? | 17:06 |
| boredandblogging | just asking | 17:06 |
| Rinchen | boredandblogging, I'm feeling ornery so I might just force the issue on the facelift. Newz said he was thinking of backporting the intrepid theme but I'd rather the community did all the theming | 17:06 |
| Rinchen | if we didn't want the events calendar we might be able to upgrade to 6. | 17:07 |
| Rinchen | I'd have to clear it with our sys admins | 17:07 |
| boredandblogging | Rinchen: I'm hoping we can have the calendar issue cleared up by the end of the month | 17:07 |
| Rinchen | the events module doesn't exist with 6 | 17:07 |
| Rinchen | and the event repeat module for 5 has too many security holes to install | 17:07 |
| boredandblogging | stdin is working on the migration to google calendar | 17:07 |
| boredandblogging | Rinchen: btw, nicholas, the brainstorm guy is willing to put in the work to do this | 17:08 |
| Rinchen | sweet. Write all this up, at UDS if you can, and email it to the list. Be sure to point out any places you need help. I'll go get the help | 17:08 |
| Rinchen | Tell Nicholas I said thank you please | 17:09 |
| Rinchen | and that's cool you got Terrance to do the calendar | 17:09 |
| boredandblogging | Rinchen: I'm gonna try to have a quick discussion with jono to see if he can gently "nudge" teams to it once it comes to fruition | 17:09 |
| boredandblogging | cuz I imagine at first it will be just using planet posts, but it provides huge oppportunities for all teams | 17:10 |
| Rinchen | boredandblogging, He'd like to know about it certainly but asking him to do something with currently non-existent features is a bit much given his workload | 17:10 |
| boredandblogging | Rinchen: that makes sense | 17:11 |
| Rinchen | so, show him the mockup and tell him our plans and ask him to stay tuned :-D | 17:11 |
| boredandblogging | fair enough, thanks | 17:11 |
| Rinchen | and thanks for doing all of this at UDS | 17:11 |
| Rinchen | maybe we can do another one in May | 17:12 |
| boredandblogging | Rinchen: hoping we can have version 1 out by next UDS | 17:12 |
| boredandblogging | and then discuss ways to improve it | 17:12 |
| Rinchen | boredandblogging, administratively, we just need a theme file and then give the right people editor access so they can adjust the blocks | 17:13 |
| Rinchen | boredandblogging, we install the theme file and then Nicholas can turn it on inside | 17:13 |
| boredandblogging | yeah, I figure we'll get the technical details worked out one way or another, just trying to make sure everything is cleared up with the stakeholders | 17:16 |
| Rinchen | thanks boredandblogging for working on this | 17:17 |
| boredandblogging | Rinchen: np | 17:20 |
| * newz2000 is in a training session for drupal about dates/calendar | 19:33 | |
| tyche | Study HARD! Hee hee | 19:33 |
| newz2000 | happy to ask any questions people have | 19:34 |
| tyche | Basically, how can we make it run recurring events properly, or how to insert a Google calendar into it. We're talking about the Fridge, so it's probably Drupal 5 | 19:36 |
| newz2000 | yeah, I'll ask | 19:37 |
| tyche | I appreciate it, newz2000. But I won't hold my breath, considering the security holes there are in the Drupal 5 plugin. | 19:41 |
| newz2000 | it sounds like the solution may be to use CCK to create custom content types | 19:41 |
| tyche | I don't know. I'm not ANY kind of a programmer. I know just enough to get me into a whole lot of trouble, if I could even get something to work at all. | 19:42 |
| newz2000 | we're not quite to the question part yet but I'm listening to the person who wrote the modules | 19:44 |
| tyche | It would be nice if there were a way to bullet-proof that plugin. | 19:46 |
| tyche | Ah, well. Time for me to pick up the Granddaughter. BBL | 19:51 |
| newz2000 | tyche: CCK / Views2 is the solution, I will play with it in the upcoming days but it won't deploy soon because it needs Drupal 6. | 20:24 |
| newz2000 | ical export has been improved a lot apparently so that should come soon too | 20:24 |
| newz2000 | import from ical sources is in progress but not ready yet | 20:25 |
| newz2000 | however I'm looking at her solution and it appears to be working so if it's not ready yet it can't be far away | 20:25 |

| boredandblogging | Rinchen: we did a session with Jono | 22:03 |
| boredandblogging | we are a go | 22:03 |
| * tyche CHEERS!!!!!! | 22:04 | |
| tyche | Way to go, boredandblogging!!!!! | 22:04 |
| boredandblogging | emailed stdin to see where he is with the calendar meeting bot, he seems to be working on it | 22:05 |
| boredandblogging | will check back in a week or so with him | 22:05 |
| tyche | I KNEW there was a reason we kept you around. Hee hee | 22:06 |
| Rinchen | boredandblogging, ping | 22:31 |
| boredandblogging | Rinchen: yo | 22:34 |
| Rinchen | hi boredandblogging, I was just showing Nicholas' mockup to newz2000 and he commented that when he's (newz) is back we should get in touch with him. He has a number of ideas to make it even better based on the class he's in. | 22:36 |
| boredandblogging | Rinchen: I'll write an email putting us all in it | 22:36 |
| Rinchen | sounds great boredandblogging | 22:40 |
| tyche | boredandblogging: This poor excuse for an associate editor presumes to request that he also be copied in, if you please. | 22:41 |
| boredandblogging | tyche: sure, you and john | 22:42 |
| tyche | Thanks, boss. | 22:42 |
| tyche | boredandblogging: See http://www.flickr.com/photos/22090195@N03/3103654354/ | 23:02 |
| boredandblogging | tyche: that is awesome! | 23:20 |
| tyche | Post THAT to the Fridge. "Irate Editor". LOL | 23:23 |
| tyche | Can you imagine having THAT sword hanging over the head of your bed? | 23:23 |
| boredandblogging | scary | 23:26 |
