=== beuno_ is now known as beuno [16:58] Rinchen: ping [16:58] hi beuno [16:58] er [16:58] boredandblogging, [16:59] now Martin's going to go "huh, what?" :-) [16:59] Rinchen, well, I'll take it like you where just being nice and saying "hi" [16:59] so, hi Rinchen! [16:59] │ PriceChild [16:59] well that sucked [17:00] actually, he's a nice guy ;-) [17:00] Rinchen: Nicolas Deschildre, the guy who did brainstorm... [17:00] and I have been talking about giving the Fridge a makeover [17:00] Rinchen: http://www.ndeschildre.net/downloads/UbuntuNews.html [17:01] the content is obviously not right [17:01] but something along those lines [17:01] thinking LP integration as well [17:01] so people can comment [17:01] and have their names pulled from LP (and whatever else) [17:01] some nice video embedding as well [17:02] Rinchen: also pulling in posts from planet [17:02] and sticking them [17:02] so they are around foever [17:02] forever [17:03] boredandblogging, the one objection to the planet that's been raised before is that it's a duplication [17:03] boredandblogging, if it wasn't front page stuff, then I don't think it matters [17:03] boredandblogging, as in, we can do it [17:03] boredandblogging, you'd want to be selective though because not everything on the planet is ubuntu [17:04] Rinchen: exactly, 99.99% of the planet wouldn't show up [17:04] boredandblogging: is there a way to set up sections, and index them? [17:04] just worthwhie posts [17:05] boredandblogging, what software is that modeled on? Drupal? [17:05] tyche yes [17:05] Rinchen: yes, all drupal [17:05] GREAT! [17:05] everything would be tagged [17:05] boredandblogging, ok. Keeping in mind we have to use the .5 and not the .6 series, I say write it up. [17:06] are there plans for 6.x? [17:06] just asking [17:06] 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 [17:07] if we didn't want the events calendar we might be able to upgrade to 6. [17:07] I'd have to clear it with our sys admins [17:07] Rinchen: I'm hoping we can have the calendar issue cleared up by the end of the month [17:07] the events module doesn't exist with 6 [17:07] and the event repeat module for 5 has too many security holes to install [17:07] stdin is working on the migration to google calendar [17:08] Rinchen: btw, nicholas, the brainstorm guy is willing to put in the work to do this [17:08] 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 [17:09] Tell Nicholas I said thank you please [17:09] and that's cool you got Terrance to do the calendar [17:09] 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 [17:10] cuz I imagine at first it will be just using planet posts, but it provides huge oppportunities for all teams [17:10] 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 [17:11] Rinchen: that makes sense [17:11] so, show him the mockup and tell him our plans and ask him to stay tuned :-D [17:11] fair enough, thanks [17:11] and thanks for doing all of this at UDS [17:12] maybe we can do another one in May [17:12] Rinchen: hoping we can have version 1 out by next UDS [17:12] and then discuss ways to improve it [17:13] boredandblogging, administratively, we just need a theme file and then give the right people editor access so they can adjust the blocks [17:13] boredandblogging, we install the theme file and then Nicholas can turn it on inside [17:16] 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 [17:17] thanks boredandblogging for working on this [17:20] Rinchen: np [19:33] * newz2000 is in a training session for drupal about dates/calendar [19:33] Study HARD! Hee hee [19:34] happy to ask any questions people have [19:36] 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 [19:37] yeah, I'll ask [19:41] I appreciate it, newz2000. But I won't hold my breath, considering the security holes there are in the Drupal 5 plugin. [19:41] it sounds like the solution may be to use CCK to create custom content types [19:42] 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. [19:44] we're not quite to the question part yet but I'm listening to the person who wrote the modules [19:46] It would be nice if there were a way to bullet-proof that plugin. [19:51] Ah, well. Time for me to pick up the Granddaughter. BBL [20:24] 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] ical export has been improved a lot apparently so that should come soon too [20:25] import from ical sources is in progress but not ready yet [20:25] 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 === Rafik_ is now known as Rafik [22:03] Rinchen: we did a session with Jono [22:03] we are a go [22:04] * tyche CHEERS!!!!!! [22:04] Way to go, boredandblogging!!!!! [22:05] emailed stdin to see where he is with the calendar meeting bot, he seems to be working on it [22:05] will check back in a week or so with him [22:06] I KNEW there was a reason we kept you around. Hee hee [22:31] boredandblogging, ping [22:34] Rinchen: yo [22:36] 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] Rinchen: I'll write an email putting us all in it [22:40] sounds great boredandblogging [22:41] boredandblogging: This poor excuse for an associate editor presumes to request that he also be copied in, if you please. [22:42] tyche: sure, you and john [22:42] Thanks, boss. [23:02] boredandblogging: See http://www.flickr.com/photos/22090195@N03/3103654354/ [23:20] tyche: that is awesome! [23:23] Post THAT to the Fridge. "Irate Editor". LOL [23:23] Can you imagine having THAT sword hanging over the head of your bed? [23:26] scary
