newz2000hi cjohnston, I'm back. Give me a ping when you want to chat.14:58
newz2000(been on holiday for a while)14:58
cjohnstonnp14:59
cjohnstonIf you have time now, I'm good..14:59
newz2000hey cjohnston15:00
cjohnstonHow was your vacation?15:00
newz2000Great. Coming back from work may be tough. :-)15:00
cjohnstonlol15:00
newz2000coming back /to/ work I mean15:01
newz2000cjohnston: we use a content management system so there's nothign to check out15:01
newz2000unless you're talking about visual / html changes to the theme15:01
cjohnstonI could help out with theme stuff too possible.. I was just going off the way I interpreted something on the wiki that it seemed like you checked out a local copy15:02
newz2000You mentioned bugs, is there a particular bug you'd like to tackle?15:02
cjohnstonI'm definatly interested in helping out though.. I don't know to what extent you all can let me..15:02
cjohnstonThere are quite a few in: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bugs that I could take care of.. They are mostly simple spelling issue type errors.. or other things such as that...15:03
newz2000I'd love help like that but give me a second to work out how helpful that will be...15:05
newz2000you see, we're about to make a major revision to the website15:05
cjohnstonic15:05
newz2000it won't go live until the spring15:05
newz2000so maybe it would be useful15:05
cjohnstonFixing stuff like: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/50246615:06
ubot3`Malone bug 502466 in ubuntu-website "Turkish Loco site link goes to wrong web page" [Undecided,Confirmed]15:06
newz2000ah, yeah, that would still be relevent15:06
cjohnstonI assume spelling issues would still exist15:07
newz2000We'll be refreshing a good bit of the website's content (i.e. rewriting or replacing it)15:07
cjohnstonok.. cool15:07
newz2000I don't know if this sounds like a complete bore to you,15:07
cjohnstonI could also help with "proofing" the writing for the new site..15:08
newz2000but one thing that would be extremely helpful is to weed out the bugs that are still relevant, since many are obsolete...15:08
newz2000Do you like to triage bugs?15:08
cjohnstonThat's what I have been doing over the past two weeks or so...15:08
newz2000oh, have you?15:08
cjohnstonyes..15:08
newz2000wow, that's awesome!15:08
cjohnstonI have the open bugs down to under 200..15:08
cjohnstonI don't remember what it was.. but its lower now...15:09
newz2000oh, you rock!15:09
newz2000I have bug emails getting filed automatically and I haven't had the nerve to check that folder yet. :-)15:09
cjohnstonI just figured if I could fix "easy" stuff like the bug above.. I could close them out too and not "bother" the "real" developers with them..15:09
cjohnstonsince all that but requres is a 3 character change15:10
cjohnstonI will continue triaging.. and if you can't give me the access to fix bugs, thats fine.. I understand..15:10
newz2000we won't have the system in place to allow content approval (going live w/ site refresh) so we've not allowed too many people to edit in the site15:10
cjohnstonok15:11
newz2000Is there an easy way to find bugs that are simple typos?15:11
cjohnstonNot that I know of.. I have just been going through the bugs one by one...15:11
cjohnstonstarting with the ones listed as 'new'15:12
newz2000What would be cool is if there were a way to flag bugs that are just typos15:12
newz2000but I don't know how to do this15:12
* newz2000 looks at the bug queue to see what it looks like real quicki15:12
cjohnstonMaybe with a tag15:12
newz2000oh, that looks good15:15
newz2000I just added two tags, typo and broken-link15:15
cjohnstonok15:15
newz2000I wonder if it's possible to mass-tag15:15
newz2000cjohnston: I'm eager for your help on this matter and want to start using the bug tracker more15:17
newz2000I can't open up access for you to edit the website at this time15:17
newz2000what would you like to do that you think would be most effective and not a waste of time?15:17
cjohnstonbug 501970 I left alone because yes, the bug is correct, but I don't think its an "ubuntu" website bug, I think it would be a bug for moblinzone.com  - but I wasnt sure if maybe the page on our end had changed or something..15:18
ubot3`Malone bug 501970 in ubuntu-website "intel_moblin_ubuntu_computex  was not found" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/50197015:18
newz2000good call15:18
cjohnstonnewz2000: as long as someone follows up with the work I do in the bug tracker.. I don't think it would be a waste of time.. and im willing to help out with it..15:19
newz2000ok, I will make a commitment to dealing with 25 bugs per week15:19
newz2000and I am online and active here in this IRC channel from 8:30 − 5:30 Central US time (it's 9:19 for me now) to answer your questions if you need help15:19
cjohnstonok.. I am est15:20
newz2000(though I do step away now and then to eat lunch and stuff. :-))15:20
cjohnstonunderstandable15:20
newz2000If you have any new bugs that are simple typos or broken links, if you use the tags, I'll deal with them first15:20
cjohnstonso you want stuff tagged typo and broken link15:21
cjohnstonok..15:21
cjohnstonthat answers my question then15:21
newz2000cjohnston: where are you located?15:21

cjohnstonon the intel_moblin bug, do you agree that isnt our bug?15:27
newz2000yes, but I think I need to report it to the right person15:27
newz2000I'll deal with it, as CES is coming up and there will be a lot of visibility here15:27
cjohnstonok.. you want me to leave it as is for now then and you can edit it?15:28
newz2000yeah15:30

cjohnstonnewz2000: fix released on bug 437651 then?15:44
ubot3`Malone bug 437651 in ubuntu-website "file not found 404" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43765115:44
newz2000or mark it as a dup of 50197015:45
newz2000(which is fixed)15:46
cjohnstonnewz2000: bug #385568 seems to be fixed to me.. do you want me to mark stuff like this fix released, or what do you want?15:59
ubot3`Malone bug 385568 in moin "Anchor links with spaces are incorrectly encoded" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/38556815:59
newz2000cjohnston: yes, if it's fixed or obsolete, it'd be awesome to have it marked accordingly16:00
cjohnstonOkie..16:00
* cjohnston can't change things to wishlist.. heh.. oh well16:06
cjohnstonIs the US Ubuntu Store closed newz2000? Can you confirm that?16:14
newz2000cjohnston: yes, it is16:14
cjohnstonnewz2000: I had to.. hehe bug #50300916:18
ubot3`Malone bug 503009 in ubuntu-website "USA Store needs to be removed from shop.ubuntu.com" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/50300916:18
newz2000ok, I'll start by fixing the banner on the side then asking for a redirect from shop.ubuntu.com to shop.canonical.com16:19
cjohnstonok16:19
cjohnstonnewz2000: are you responsible for kubuntu.org also?16:33
newz2000cjohnston: no, not directly16:33
newz2000there's a different project in launchpad for kubuntu.org16:33
cjohnstonOk..There doesnt seem to be a way to download the LTS on Kubuntu is why I ask..16:34
newz2000I wonder when we had an LTS version last16:36
cjohnstonhttp://ubuntu-mirror.cs.colorado.edu/releases/kubuntu/16:37
cjohnstonthere is an 8.04.2 - which isnt listed on the hashes page, which was a bug, which is why I started investigating16:38
cjohnstonnewz2000: is there a requrirement to be listed on http://www.ubuntu.com/support/local ? The reason I ask is since there is a link to the "full list of teams" I would not think every loco would be listed on that page.. There are some bugs filed against that page though since some approved teams arent listed there.. I don't want to confirm bugs if the teams for some reason dont meet a requirement.16:49
* cjohnston is keeping you busy today.. lol16:49
newz2000hmm… this is an interesting question16:53
newz2000cjohnston: if you were going to guess, how many outstanding bugs refer to this? (very rough guess is fine)16:54
cjohnstonso far I have found 1.. but it has two different "reports" to it... bug 324223 - for reference.. technically 2 that i have found16:55
ubot3`Malone bug 324223 in ubuntu-website "Danish team info missing from http://www.ubuntu.com/support/local" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/32422316:55
newz2000cjohnston: yeah, I say we go ahead and make these changes to the website and think about a better way to do this down the road.16:56
newz2000I'll ask jono for his opinion.16:56
cjohnstonokie..16:57
cjohnstonnewz2000: did you see the response to bug 314692?20:51
