[14:58] <newz2000> hi cjohnston, I'm back. Give me a ping when you want to chat.
[14:58] <newz2000> (been on holiday for a while)
[14:59] <cjohnston> np
[14:59] <cjohnston> If you have time now, I'm good..
[15:00] <newz2000> hey cjohnston
[15:00] <cjohnston> How was your vacation?
[15:00] <newz2000> Great. Coming back from work may be tough. :-)
[15:00] <cjohnston> lol
[15:01] <newz2000> coming back /to/ work I mean
[15:01] <newz2000> cjohnston: we use a content management system so there's nothign to check out
[15:01] <newz2000> unless you're talking about visual / html changes to the theme
[15:02] <cjohnston> I 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 copy
[15:02] <newz2000> You mentioned bugs, is there a particular bug you'd like to tackle?
[15:02] <cjohnston> I'm definatly interested in helping out though.. I don't know to what extent you all can let me..
[15:03] <cjohnston> There 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...
[15:05] <newz2000> I'd love help like that but give me a second to work out how helpful that will be...
[15:05] <newz2000> you see, we're about to make a major revision to the website
[15:05] <cjohnston> ic
[15:05] <newz2000> it won't go live until the spring
[15:05] <newz2000> so maybe it would be useful
[15:06] <cjohnston> Fixing stuff like: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/502466
[15:06] <ubot3`> Malone bug 502466 in ubuntu-website "Turkish Loco site link goes to wrong web page" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[15:06] <newz2000> ah, yeah, that would still be relevent
[15:07] <cjohnston> I assume spelling issues would still exist
[15:07] <newz2000> We'll be refreshing a good bit of the website's content (i.e. rewriting or replacing it)
[15:07] <cjohnston> ok.. cool
[15:07] <newz2000> I don't know if this sounds like a complete bore to you,
[15:08] <cjohnston> I could also help with "proofing" the writing for the new site..
[15:08] <newz2000> but one thing that would be extremely helpful is to weed out the bugs that are still relevant, since many are obsolete...
[15:08] <newz2000> Do you like to triage bugs?
[15:08] <cjohnston> That's what I have been doing over the past two weeks or so...
[15:08] <newz2000> oh, have you?
[15:08] <cjohnston> yes..
[15:08] <newz2000> wow, that's awesome!
[15:08] <cjohnston> I have the open bugs down to under 200..
[15:09] <cjohnston> I don't remember what it was.. but its lower now...
[15:09] <newz2000> oh, you rock!
[15:09] <newz2000> I have bug emails getting filed automatically and I haven't had the nerve to check that folder yet. :-)
[15:09] <cjohnston> I 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..
[15:10] <cjohnston> since all that but requres is a 3 character change
[15:10] <cjohnston> I will continue triaging.. and if you can't give me the access to fix bugs, thats fine.. I understand..
[15:10] <newz2000> we 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 site
[15:11] <cjohnston> ok
[15:11] <newz2000> Is there an easy way to find bugs that are simple typos?
[15:11] <cjohnston> Not that I know of.. I have just been going through the bugs one by one...
[15:12] <cjohnston> starting with the ones listed as 'new'
[15:12] <newz2000> What would be cool is if there were a way to flag bugs that are just typos
[15:12] <newz2000> but I don't know how to do this
[15:12]  * newz2000 looks at the bug queue to see what it looks like real quicki
[15:12] <cjohnston> Maybe with a tag
[15:15] <newz2000> oh, that looks good
[15:15] <newz2000> I just added two tags, typo and broken-link
[15:15] <cjohnston> ok
[15:15] <newz2000> I wonder if it's possible to mass-tag
[15:17] <newz2000> cjohnston: I'm eager for your help on this matter and want to start using the bug tracker more
[15:17] <newz2000> I can't open up access for you to edit the website at this time
[15:17] <newz2000> what would you like to do that you think would be most effective and not a waste of time?
[15:18] <cjohnston> bug 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/501970
[15:18] <newz2000> good call
[15:19] <cjohnston> newz2000: 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] <newz2000> ok, I will make a commitment to dealing with 25 bugs per week
[15:19] <newz2000> and 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 help
[15:20] <cjohnston> ok.. I am est
[15:20] <newz2000> (though I do step away now and then to eat lunch and stuff. :-))
[15:20] <cjohnston> understandable
[15:20] <newz2000> If you have any new bugs that are simple typos or broken links, if you use the tags, I'll deal with them first
[15:21] <cjohnston> so you want stuff tagged typo and broken link
[15:21] <cjohnston> ok..
[15:21] <cjohnston> that answers my question then
[15:21] <newz2000> cjohnston: where are you located?
[15:21] <cjohnston> orlando (fl)
[15:22] <newz2000> ah, sunny, warm, Orlando
[15:22] <newz2000> I lived for 10 years in the Sarasota area
[15:22] <newz2000> my son is a Florida native (one of the few!)
[15:22] <cjohnston> bug 314692 I did need someone "smart" to look at... I don't think its offered SSL... but wasnt positive.. After the yelling I took from it.. lol
[15:22] <ubot3`> Malone bug 314692 in ubuntu "Brainstorm SSL problem, site not accessible (FF3)" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/314692

[15:22] <cjohnston> yup
[15:23] <newz2000> I'm currently in chilly (-9) Des Moines IA
[15:25] <cjohnston> hehehe
[15:27] <cjohnston> on the intel_moblin bug, do you agree that isnt our bug?
[15:27] <newz2000> yes, but I think I need to report it to the right person
[15:27] <newz2000> I'll deal with it, as CES is coming up and there will be a lot of visibility here
[15:28] <cjohnston> ok.. you want me to leave it as is for now then and you can edit it?
[15:30] <newz2000> yeah
[15:44] <cjohnston> newz2000: 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/437651
[15:45] <newz2000> or mark it as a dup of 501970
[15:46] <newz2000> (which is fixed)
[15:59] <cjohnston> newz2000: 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/385568
[16:00] <newz2000> cjohnston: yes, if it's fixed or obsolete, it'd be awesome to have it marked accordingly
[16:00] <cjohnston> Okie..
[16:06]  * cjohnston can't change things to wishlist.. heh.. oh well
[16:14] <cjohnston> Is the US Ubuntu Store closed newz2000? Can you confirm that?
[16:14] <newz2000> cjohnston: yes, it is
[16:18] <cjohnston> newz2000: I had to.. hehe bug #503009
[16:18] <ubot3`> Malone bug 503009 in ubuntu-website "USA Store needs to be removed from shop.ubuntu.com" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/503009
[16:19] <newz2000> ok, I'll start by fixing the banner on the side then asking for a redirect from shop.ubuntu.com to shop.canonical.com
[16:19] <cjohnston> ok
[16:33] <cjohnston> newz2000: are you responsible for kubuntu.org also?
[16:33] <newz2000> cjohnston: no, not directly
[16:33] <newz2000> there's a different project in launchpad for kubuntu.org
[16:34] <cjohnston> Ok..There doesnt seem to be a way to download the LTS on Kubuntu is why I ask..
[16:36] <newz2000> I wonder when we had an LTS version last
[16:37] <cjohnston> http://ubuntu-mirror.cs.colorado.edu/releases/kubuntu/
[16:38] <cjohnston> there is an 8.04.2 - which isnt listed on the hashes page, which was a bug, which is why I started investigating
[16:49] <cjohnston> newz2000: 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.. lol
[16:53] <newz2000> hmm… this is an interesting question
[16:54] <newz2000> cjohnston: if you were going to guess, how many outstanding bugs refer to this? (very rough guess is fine)
[16:55] <cjohnston> so far I have found 1.. but it has two different "reports" to it... bug 324223 - for reference.. technically 2 that i have found
[16:55] <ubot3`> Malone bug 324223 in ubuntu-website "Danish team info missing from http://www.ubuntu.com/support/local" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/324223
[16:56] <newz2000> cjohnston: 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] <newz2000> I'll ask jono for his opinion.
[16:57] <cjohnston> okie..
[20:51] <cjohnston> newz2000: did you see the response to bug 314692?
[20:51] <ubot3`> Malone bug 314692 in ubuntu "Brainstorm SSL problem, site not accessible (FF3)" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/314692
[20:51] <cjohnston> he doesnt seem happy
