doctormocprofitt, Vantrax|Work, pleia2: do you like my updated systems-admin icon?04:01
pleia2the one in that link? very much04:02
Vantrax|Worknice:P04:02
Vantrax|Workfits the theme well04:02
Vantrax|Workeverything is starting to come together04:02
Vantrax|Workwe need to sort the licensing stuff out soon tho, anyone heard from dinda on the FSF?04:02
doctormoVantrax|Work: Not I04:04
cprofittdoctormo, looks good04:05
cprofittVantrax|Work, nothing from FSF or dinda04:05
doctormoAt some point we're going to have to go out on our own04:06
doctormoTo reach out the SFLC or to make a call04:06
doctormo(btw it's the Software Freedom Law Center, not the FSF)04:06
cprofittk04:08
doctormocprofitt, pleia2, greg-g, Vantrax|Work: Is it worth contacting the SFLC given that I already have a contact there?04:09
pleia2doctormo: waiting for the canonical contact, you mean?04:09
Vantrax|WorkI would say it is worth doing, but thats up to the board imo04:10
cprofittdoctormo, if we have a way of contacting them... I would say yes04:10
pleia2and dinda said the canonical law person went on vacation last week04:10
cprofittwe also need to determine where the site will eventually be hosted04:10
cprofittCanonical or Bodhi-Server04:10
cprofittthere are pros and cons to both of the hosting scenarios04:11
doctormoYes, I think we should stick with our own04:11
doctormoWe should have a way of funding the server so bodi isn't stuck with the costs04:11
Vantrax|Workdepends what canonical will come to the party is04:12
Vantrax|Workdoctormo: thats already done04:12
doctormoAnd we should have a backup domain to use until we can get the learn.ubuntu.com04:12
Vantrax|Workwe already have one, but can get another04:12
doctormoI'm just not sure we should be leaning on or using Canonical resources when there is so much unsure and it's not a set of resourced they typically offer that we need.04:12
doctormoI think we'd just be fighting them on it04:13
Vantrax|Workdepends what they come to the table with04:13
Vantrax|Workim willing to work with them to see what can be done as long as they are flexible04:13
greg-gdoctormo: for what?04:13
doctormogreg-g: We're still mulling the licensing issues.04:13
greg-gdoctormo: why?04:14
doctormogreg-g: We want to ask the SFLC for advice.04:14
doctormogreg-g: Don't ask me, I say it's settled, others aren't sure enough04:14
greg-gwell, my advice is not waste your time, worry about actually creating content intead, but that is just me04:15
cprofittgreg-g, the issue is we can not, in fairness, have people create content if the terms of that 'product' are not specific04:16
cprofittif we are going to ask people to turn over their 'ownership' as has been suggested... we need to let them know that... ahead of time so that they do not feel ambushed04:16
greg-g"all of the work you submit is licensed under CC:BY-SA, thanks" done :)04:17
cprofittI agree greg-g04:17
cprofittdoctormo, agrees04:17
cprofittI am not sure about Vantrax|Work and bodhi though04:17
Vantrax|Worki agree with that04:17
=== ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-learning to: Ubuntu Community Learning Project | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning | Next Meeting: Tuesday July 14th @ 9pm EDT (01:00 UTC July 15th) | Support in #ubuntu
doctormocprofitt: Transfere of ownership is off the cards, it's a bad idea and we've heard it's a bad idea from multiple sources04:18
Vantrax|Workbut there were some good points raised worth checking out tho04:18
doctormoVantrax|Work: Do you have a list of good points?04:18
Vantrax|Workno atm, it was in the log ..<04:18
Vantrax|Worki just remember i didnt have any objection to the queries being checked out04:19
greg-gI would use other successful projects as a guide, ie: Wikipedia04:19
Vantrax|Workyep04:19
cprofittwell the main issue, was that until bodhi was comfortable from his legal liability standpoint that if ownership was not transferred he was not going to host04:19
Vantrax|Workwhich is understandable, while moot if canonical hosts04:20
greg-gcprofitt: I tried to explain to him that copyright transfer wouldn't really gain him any protection04:20
cprofittgreg-g, as did I...04:20
doctormocprofitt: Which means we will have to find a new hoster04:20
greg-gand if anything, would create unwanted hurdles (transfer the copyright to whom? Bodhi? some new entity which needs to be legally created, etc etc, yuck)04:20
cprofittbut I am not sure if he is comfortable yet04:20
doctormocprofitt: Agreed, but this is a bodi problem, not nec' an ubuntu-learning project problem04:21
cprofittdoctormo, correct... unless bodhi is satisfied with the non-transfer and the avoidance of NC04:21
doctormoWe should at least be creation materials in the wiki04:21
greg-gso yeah, I should stay out of it :)04:21
doctormogreg-g: No your input is important, because you know your stuff04:22
cprofittgreg-g, your input is valuable04:22
cprofittand appreciated04:22
doctormoI'm concerned that we've gone off on this wild goose chase to pander bodi's uncertainties simply because he wouldn't listen to the experience and knowlege of the people involved here.04:23
* greg-g nods04:23
greg-gwell, in that case, since I apparently haven't been repeating myself too much (as to bore you) I will stick around ;)04:23
doctormoI feel like because he wanted NC and because of misunderstandings with liabilities we're stuck here twiddling our thumbs over none issues.04:24
Vantrax|Workdoctormo: play nice:P We have a hosting option with Canonical to explore atm, the key issue is our access too it04:24
doctormoBut that's completly my personal opinion and It's not politically sensitive.04:24
Vantrax|Workwe also have made progress in our theming04:24
doctormoVantrax|Work: I'd love to begin work on the theming, let me know when I can.04:25
Vantrax|Workso things arent sitting still04:25
Vantrax|Worki just have to update the trunk >.<04:25
doctormoyes04:25
cprofittI think I would feel the same way as bodhi... nervous about liability04:28
cprofittso despite my legal understanding differing from his; I have to respect his desire to keep his family safe from litigation issues04:29
Vantrax|Workokies so how do i push the change back up04:29
doctormoVantrax|Work: You want `bzr commit` then `bzr push`04:30
Vantrax|Workdoctormo: ^04:30
Vantrax|Workwhat folder should I be in?04:30
doctormoThe folder with the '.bzr' directory, the one that was created when you  did 'bzr pull'04:31
doctormoer bzr checkout04:31
pleia2bodhi was also supposed to schedule talking to elmo (canonical sysadmin) - does anyone know if he's done that?04:31
Vantrax|Work/Projects/learn_ubuntu/trunk$ bzr commit04:31
Vantrax|Workbzr: ERROR: Cannot lock LockDir(http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-learning-board/ubuntu-learning-moodle/trunk/.bzr/branch/lock): Transport operation not possible: http does not support mkdir()04:31
pleia2if one of us could take that off his plate it would be nice, so not everything is waiting on him04:32
Vantrax|WorkIll sort out chatting to elmo04:32
pleia2Vantrax|Work: thanks04:32
Vantrax|Workour issue is we need access to it as moodle doesnt have webadmin for a fair bit of stuff:P04:32
pleia2so on the sites I admin on canonical servers, I have ssh access04:33
Vantrax|Workthat should be fine, long as i can scp, ssh, and have access to change file permissions04:33
pleia2you'd have to work with them on specifics, for planet they have bzr configured, on the ubuntu-women.org core html files I have full access to edit because I'm in the u-w group04:34
Vantrax|Workthat should be ok04:34
Vantrax|Workdoctormo: if you still have my ubuntu one shared folder open its all in the theme folder04:35
Vantrax|Worki reformatted most of the code so it should be easy to follow04:36
Vantrax|Workwhere does elmo hide out?04:37
doctormoVantrax|Work: sorry, damn old bzr code, I'm going to try and convince you to commit this right, since I believe it will be useful in the future04:38
pleia2Vantrax|Work: #canonical-sysadmin04:38
pleia2Vantrax|Work: I'm not sure about elmo, but most of them are around UTC time, so I've had good luck catching them in their morning04:38
pleia2er, their timezone I mean, most of them are in europe somewhere04:39
Vantrax|Workim in aus, im sure i can find em04:40
Vantrax|Workill just lurk till he is around04:40
* pleia2 nods04:40
doctormoVantrax|Work: Found the problem :-D you need to set your launchpad id by running `bzr launchpad-login [username]`04:42
Vantrax|Worki had to do that to download it the first time, doesnt bzr remember it?04:42
Vantrax|Worksame error04:43
Vantrax|Work Transport operation not possible: http does not support mkdir()04:43
Vantrax|Workim guessing thats more the problem04:43
doctormoVantrax|Work: Are you sure running the launchpad-login command caused the http error?04:44
Vantrax|Workno, that didnt04:44
Vantrax|Workthe login worked04:44
Vantrax|Workit was the rerunning commit04:44
Vantrax|Workive used SVN systems before, this just seems painful04:45
doctormoVantrax|Work: It's not, it's much easier than svn, it's just the 'windows xp is awesome' effect04:46
Vantrax|Work... windows xp sucks04:47
doctormoVantrax|Work: Not if it's the only thing you've ever used and the new thing is somethign that works in a fundermentally different way04:47
Vantrax|Worktrue04:47
doctormoVantrax|Work: the user you logged in with is the same user that your on the board with right?04:51
Vantrax|Workyep04:52
Vantrax|Workbzr launchpad-login matthew.lye04:52
Vantrax|Workgoes through np04:52
Vantrax|Worksame that I used to download the trunk04:52
doctormo`bzr push lp:ubuntu-learning-moodle`04:52
doctormotry that, it's the full thing04:52
Vantrax|Workhrm, i need to redo my keys I think...04:53
Vantrax|Workok so no auth error now but the push command says: bzr push lp:ubuntu-learning-moodle04:58
Vantrax|WorkNo new revisions to push.04:58
doctormodid you do bzr commit first.. oh wait the bzr commit is the problem05:05
doctormo`bzr bind lp:ubuntu-learning-moodle`05:05
doctormothat should bind it correctly05:05
doctormothen run your commit, then the push as above.05:06
doctormoVantrax|Work: ^^05:07
Vantrax|Workaborting commit write group: BzrCommandError(empty commit message specified)05:10
Vantrax|Work??05:10
Vantrax|Workok i think thats worked05:11
Vantrax|Worktell me if it did05:11
doctormoVantrax|Work: it should bring up vim or nano for you to enter a commit message, you have to supply one05:11

doctormowhich help05:21
doctormooff to bed, thanks for commiting :-)05:22
Vantrax|Worknp05:22
Vantrax|Workglad we could get it working05:22
nhandlerVantrax|Work: Use: bzr whoami 'Matthew Lye <matthew.lye@ubuntu.com>'05:34
Vantrax|Workdoes that fix that nhandler?05:36
Vantrax|Workthanks for peaking in btw:P]05:37
nhandlerVantrax: That command should fix it. It should also cause it to link to your Launchpad profile. You can type 'bzr whoami' to see what is currently set. And you should know, I am always watching ;)14:21
