nigelbabualoha czajkowski :)10:58
dholbachdpm: the translated LoCoCouncil page looks good to me :)11:12
dholbachdpm: I'll ask everybody to review the daily builds stuff again, then we can maybe see who's interested in translating it11:12
czajkowskiaye the loco council page does11:13
czajkowskiand it's good to see councils translating their pages especially as the community is so large11:13
dpmdholbach, ah, cool11:21
bobbodholbach, ping12:15
dholbachbobbo: pong12:16
bobbohey dholbach, I've written and attached a patch for edit-patch. mvo is sponsoring it right now12:17
dholbachbobbo: HOLY COW12:17
dholbachbobbo: that's awesome12:17
dholbachbobbo: did you test it with a couple of different patch systems?12:17
bobboyeah, did at least 2 for each tons for quilt, seems everyone's using it nowadays)12:17
dholbachthat's fantastic12:18
dholbachbobbo: you could have uploaded it yourself! :)12:18
dholbachbobbo: but it's a good idea to have mvo have a look over it12:18
bobboI thought you had to be core-dev to upload u-d-t?12:19
dholbachit's in universe12:19
dholbachapt-cache showsrc ubuntu-dev-tools12:19
dholbachbobbo: man this is amazing12:19
dholbachnigelbabu: ^12:19
dholbachgreat work :D12:19
bobbothanks :D12:19
dholbachthere might be others interested in this12:19
nigelbabuWOW12:20
nigelbabudholbach: can we have 10 of bobbo? ;)12:20
bobbodholbach, what would you like me to do now?12:24
dholbachbobbo: I was just thinking: maybe it'd be good to test-drive the process a bit and see if any kind of problems come up - like: have a look at a couple of bugs and have a think if it's obvious for somebody new having the docs that we have12:25
dholbachbobbo: do you think that makes sense?12:25
bobbodholbach, sure, that sounds pretty good12:26
dholbachawesome12:26
* dholbach hugs bobbo12:26
* bobbo hugs dholbach back12:27

czajkowskilikewise14:48
akgranerpopey, where does one buy a "jono" that you speak of?14:52

jcastrodholbach: ping15:14
dholbachjcastro: pong15:15
jcastrodholbach: I don't think red is a good color for your graph15:15
jcastrogreen is more inspiring!15:16
popeyaubergine!15:16
popeyoh15:16
dholbachif you can give me the RGB values, I'll change it15:16
popey0000ff :)15:16
popeyoh, hang on15:16
dholbachI think it's 200, 0, 0 in the script now15:16
dholbachor 255,0,015:17
dholbachbecause I was too lazy to look something up15:17
popeyA woman came in the office last week, a few people commented on her rather nice new chunky shoes. I looked and said (in a rather too loud and alarmed fashion) "Aubergine!" (for they were that colour) and mentioned that it was a very 'in' colour. She seemed surprised that I'd know this :D15:17
popeyblagging :)15:17
dholbach:-)15:18
jcastrodholbach: I have some import questions15:20
jcastroremember that we need to have the upstream imported into lp to do the dailies right?15:21
dholbachjcastro: yes15:21
jcastroso I went to go make sure shotwell was imported15:21
dholbachjcastro: code and packaging need to be in LP15:21
jcastrohttps://code.edge.launchpad.net/shotwell15:21
jcastroyeah, so, I imported it, but it's under ~jorge15:21
jcastrodid we set up a team or something?15:21
dholbach~jorge should be fine15:22
dholbachyou can set up a team if it's what the shotwell guys will be using15:22
jcastrooh I see what you mean15:23
jcastroso I think I should set up a team for each upstream then15:23
jcastrothat way I can hand it over15:23
dholbachbasically it's an ACL thing15:23
* jcastro nods15:23
dholbachbut which branch it's built from doesn't matter15:24
jcastrook also15:25
jcastroon your getting started page15:25
jcastroI am confused already15:25
jcastrofor "Writing it"15:26
dholbachthat's good - finally somebody reviews it ;-)15:26
jcastroshouldn't we just show the trunk and the packaging bits?15:26
jcastroand save the merging of fixes and all that junk until later?15:26
dholbachwhat do you mean?15:26
jcastrobasically, get it set up first15:26
jcastrothen go into "let's say james fixes it and proposes a branch and you want to test it, this is how you add it to your recipe"15:27
dholbachwhich merging of fixes?15:27
jcastrobecause the initial recipe should be like 2 lines right?15:27
dholbachoh15:27
dholbachsorry15:27
dholbachyes15:27
dholbachI talked to james_w15:27
dholbachand he wants to give ma plethora of recipes15:27
jcastromerge fix-build lp:~bzr/bzr/fix-build15:27
dholbachI just copied the only example I had15:27
jcastroI think the recipes are fine15:27
jcastrowe should just split it15:27
dholbachyes15:27
jcastrothe first section should be like "how to get your daily started"15:27
dholbachthat was the idea15:27
jcastroand 2 lines15:27
dholbachsometimes you'll need a more complicated recipe to get you going15:28
jcastroand then at the bottom say "ok, now that you've got all that set up, here's some james crack.15:28
dholbachbut we can add 2467294672946 of them on a separate page15:28
dholbachand link to it15:28
dholbachtotally agree15:28
jcastroare you sure? I've only ever needed like 2 lines15:28
jcastrobut then again, I don't build anything complicated15:28
dholbachif you need to merge something from some other place or weirdos like the desktop team just store debian/ in a separate branch and you need to use that15:28
dholbach...15:28
dholbachthe recipe gets a bit longer :)15:29
* popey fires a mail off to the ubuntu-users list again15:30
dholbachI think we can just say someting like: here's the standard recipe that will work for you in a lot of cases, you can also tell the build recipe to merge from some other branch or you can nest a directory in there, or do XYZ, for more examples see LINK15:30
dholbachjcastro: ^15:30
jcastroyeah!15:30
dholbachjcastro: once I get the stuff from james_w, I'll make it so15:30
jcastrook15:30
jcastrook so, I see some bits on edge15:30
jcastroshould I go ahead and try using these instructions for real?15:30
dholbachjcastro: try it, but I think some stuff is broken there15:31
dholbachjcastro: abentley would know15:31
jcastrook15:31
jcastrodholbach: man, we are screwed on work items15:36
jcastrodholbach: theoretically, I should be able to merge the ubuntu bzr packaging for something, mush it in with the upstream trunk, and be good right?15:37
jcastrodholbach: mind if I add stuff to DailyBuilds?15:42
dholbachjcastro: yes15:42
dholbachjcastro: please do it - totally15:42
dholbachjcastro: I never wanted it to be "my page"15:42
dholbach:)15:42
jcastrodholbach: what do you think about those revisions?15:49
jcastroI wanted more bullety points15:49
jcastroso like an upstream can see a list of awesome things15:50
jcastroI came up with some bad ones too15:50
dholbachjcastro: which?15:52
dholbachah on the main page15:52
jcastro"Why Daily Builds"15:52
jcastroyeah15:52
dholbachlooks great15:53
dholbachawesome15:53
macoso if i'm upstream on something, and i want to make a package... i recall hearing that upstreams should *not* include debian/ in their source tree. where *should* i put something like that?15:59
macoi'm using lp.  should i put a debian dir in a branch?15:59
jcastrohttps://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/shotwell/ubuntu15:59
jcastrothere's an example maco15:59
jcastrobut yeah, you're correct16:00
macothanks16:00
dholbachyou can just merge it from the source package branch of ubuntu16:00
dholbachor debian16:00
macodholbach: not in yet. it'll be in before feature freeze though16:02
dholbachyeah, I was just saying16:02
dholbach… theoretically16:02
macooh ok16:03
nigelbhola folks16:03
jcastrohi!16:05
nigelbjcastro: can you give us a blog post on cleansweep tomorrow?16:06
nigelbdaniel rocked the planet today16:06
jcastrocertainly!16:06
jcastroI will tweet it today though16:06
nigelbyay, thanks :)16:06
jcastrodholbach: ok, I mailed the shotwell guys just now informing them of my evil daily build plans for them16:08
dholbachawesome16:08
jcastrodholbach: anything else for dailies today?16:08
dholbachjcastro: as I said: some stuff is a bit broken still I think16:09
jcastrooh it is16:09
jcastrohe told me16:09
vishjcastro: is there a bug jam in the near future?16:16
jcastroI don't remember!16:16
nigelbvish: plan one!16:17
jcastroyou're like the 2nd person to ask today though16:17
jcastrolet's ambush jono with that16:17
vishjcastro: oh , well , dont forget your TODO for papercuts ;)16:17
dpmthe questions on bug jams might have been prompted by http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/myfenris/~3/O5Jj0x08q_c/ I must say they're a bit late (or a bit early!) for the global jam, but it's really cool they're organizing one!16:23
jcastrovish: wait, which one?16:25
vishjcastro: [jorge] Bug jam will check with papercuts project: TODO  > https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/design-m-papercuts16:27
vishhmm , and papercuts is becoming more of community work now16:27
jcastrooh good, that's on my list, I had just mentally forgotten about it16:28
vishjcastro: nothing much , in that TODO though , to refresh , you agreed to mention include papercuts in the next bug jam :)16:28
jcastroright16:29
jcastroI have this recurring nightmare where I wake up and there's like 40 work items in launchpad I had no idea about16:29
vishlol!16:29
qensejcastro: Why isn't the design team making the workitems show up in the graphs, but are they adding them to blueprint whiteboards?16:33
jcastronot sure16:33
dholbachhello jono16:37
qensejcastro, jono: Have you both read <http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/many-hands-make-light-work-few-make-it.html>? It is talked about a lot and I'm sure many, many people will start asking questions about it.16:38
jcastroqense: yeah I read it this morning16:39
jcastroqense: articles like that end up pointing out the same thing when you distill it all down - Not enough people working on ubuntu.16:42
jcastrowhich is always the problem16:42
qensejcastro: That might be true, but I think you could also say that in that case we should make up our minds and decide not to fix everything and the world at once. Also, opening up the development of the Ayatana projects might not be such a bad idea. I mean, there isn't even a starting page for those projects at the moment.16:43
qensejcastro: We've achieved a lot, but we can do it better. :)16:43
jcastrohttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ayatana/16:43
jcastroadmittedly it's kind of crap16:43
jcastrobut it exists!16:43
qensejcastro: Ah, I forgot about that page. But we should get a more shiny one! Like the planned 'developer.ubuntu.com', but on 'ayatana.ubuntu.com' and geared towards people looking for more information about getting involved in or using Ayatana.16:44
jcastroright16:45
vishjcastro: qense: re: the design team and charts , they have been pining pitti to get it working , it seems to be on his todo list16:45
vishpinging*16:45
qensevish: Hey! That sounds like something's to be expected soon. :)16:45
jcastrohis thing on brainstorm is totally wrong16:47
jcastroit was never a place where people can vote on what canonical developers work on16:47
qenseThat is a true thing.16:47
vishheh , a lot of the posts on OMG are just opinions [sometimes a bit misinformed]  , but readers take it to the truth16:48
vishto be the*16:48
qenseUbuntu Brainstorm creates expectations, but I don't think that currently it is capable of living up to it. Maybe it should be made more clear how to proceed once people say they like the idea.16:48
vishqense: brainstorm ,IMO ,is just to divert some traffic from lp ;)16:49
qenseOr else, if no one looks at it, we should consider whether it is something we want to continue to spend resources on.16:49
vishqense: some people do use it effectively though , mpt often goes through brainstorm16:49
jcastrothere's a whole Faq on expectations and all that stuff for brainstorm16:49
qensevish: It does feel like that. :) A /dev/null we divert people to when they've got things to say, but we have not time or place to listen to them.16:49
jcastroI check it every day!16:50
jcastrothe thing is the ideas are so general16:51
jcastro"Networking sucks"16:51
jcastrobut like, we know that already16:51
dholbachjono: 8m?16:52
qensejcastro: That is indeed the problem of most of the ideas. They're part bug report part general ideas everyone agrees on.16:54
qenseWe all want 'better file management', but tell me how!16:54
czajkowskivish: I think thats unfortunately due to people pusing omgubuntu as the palce to get information these days, so if it's on there it has to be true16:54
james_wdholbach: I've no idea what most of the stuff in https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~dholbach/harvest/bug518887/+merge/21548 is doing, care to explain?16:55
jcastroczajkowski: the article isn't info per se, it's more an opinion piece16:56
jonodholbach, yep16:57
dholbachjames_w: basically instead of listing ALL opportunity lists with all their opportunities (which takes ages) it just lists them in a clickable way16:57
dholbachjono: awesome16:57
czajkowskijcastro: it does seem to be the only way inforamtion is being pushed to the outside world at present16:57
jcastrowhat makes you say that?16:57
czajkowskijono: aloha16:57
jonobobbo, how is your week going :)16:57
qensejono: I'm currently working on the d.u.c content about Ayatana. I'm leaving out all the stuff that is still in development for Maverick. I think we need to look at when to add information about that. Most of the stuff hasn't been shown to the world yet. I'd say there are two options: add info when stuff is made available in maverick, or wait for the final release. In the first case we should add huge "WIP" ribbons and risk the technology16:57
qensenot being used after all, or being changed radically. In the latter case the app developers would only learn about the new technologies after the release.16:57
jonohey czajkowski16:58
bobbojono, great so far, I'm really enjoying it :)16:58
qenseI'm still in doubt what the best way to solve this would be.16:58
czajkowskijcastro: I'm not seeing discussions regrding ububtu and new features discssed on ubuntu mailing lists or come from ubuntu /canonical folks, we seem to be pushing all news to come from omgubuntu16:58
jonobobbo, woo!16:58
jonobobbo, dholbach treating you well?16:58
jonobobbo, he is a slavedriver16:58
bobbojono, yeah, he's keeping me busy :D16:59
jonobobbo, but a puppydog at heart16:59
bobbohehe :D16:59
dholbachjono: slavedriver? says who?16:59
jonobobbo, also with Project Cleansweep announced you are ultimately responsible for it's success...no pressure :P16:59
jcastrohi bobbo!16:59
jonodholbach, lol, kidding16:59
bobbohehe :D16:59
bobbohey jcastro :)16:59
dholbachjames_w: basically the view will go away eventually it's of little use once we have Dylan's "Fantastic Filters"(tm)16:59
qensedinner time, afk!17:00
dholbachjames_w: it's just so that once we deploy nobody goes and kills the server17:01
jonodholbach, ok, one sec17:01
dholbachjames_w: see how Dylan is making me code better - one day he'll make me write docstrings17:03
jonodholbach, logging on now17:03
james_wdholbach: never!17:04
vishczajkowski: yes , sad but its just human nature to like sensationalism more ;)17:04

boredandblogginganyone know why empathy doesn't allow irc accounts to be set up if there are no existing accounts already?21:55
doctormoboredandblogging: Sounds like a bug22:02
boredandbloggingdoctormo: yeah22:02
JanCboredandblogging: does that happen in karmic too?22:03
boredandbloggingJanC: don't know, don't have anything running karmic22:03
PendulumJanC: I think I heard that as a thing with empathy in karmic, but I don't remember nwo22:03
JanCI found the new account "wizard" in empathy in lucid quite confusing22:04
JanCor maybe karmic (don't remember when I had to set up an account last)22:04
JanCI mean, I found it confusing on lucid, maybe it was like that in karmic too22:04
JanCalthough I doubt it was (I think I set up jabber in one of my karmic new-install test systems)22:06
doctormoJanC: Do some mock-ups of a design you would like to see.22:58
JanCdoctormo: I found the previous dialogs less confusing, but maybe that's because I know how things work technically  ;)23:00
doctormoJanC: Think about what you would see if you had never seen a chat program before23:01
doctormoJanC: That's how it should be design IMO23:01
czajkowskiPendulum: I feel the need http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_75rGr5vENs23:02
JanCwell, that doesn't work for people who know IM protocols exist  ;-)23:02
Pendulumthe Ubuntu version of the Rickroll (not that I didn't know exactly what it was when you linked it :) )23:02
JanCmaybe it can be fixed with some more explanation...23:02
czajkowskiPendulum: hah, I'd not listened to  it in ages!23:03
JanC(in the wizard's dialog window)23:03
Pendulummy only question when I saw the link was whether it was this version or the group singing at UDS :-)23:04
JanCdoctormo: I don't believe in "what you would see if you had never seen a chat program before" as the only source for design ideas BTW  ;)23:06
JanClet's see if I can see what I mean in a guest account...23:07
czajkowskiPendulum: no that doesnt inspire me as much as the video23:09
czajkowski:p23:10
Pendulumczajkowski: also, you're about 6 hours early from when we were watching it in Brussels :P23:10
czajkowskiPendulum: eh?23:10
JanCdoctormo: okay, so the thing was, I wanted to use/make a "local XMPP" aka "iChat" account, and the option to choose was something like "I only want to see local people" (which seems to think there is only one way to implement that, which is plainly wrong)23:12
JanCand of course no way to select that protocol from the protocol list23:12
JanCand I can confirm there is no way to use or make an IRC account  ☺23:13
JanC(I think the wizard should include an option to create a registered Freenode account)23:14
Pendulumczajkowski: we watched it at about 6AM every morning when we got up, it won't be 6AM In Brussels for another 6hours :P23:14
JanCI guess I should file a bug on empathy upstream about that...  ;)23:15
doctormoJanC: Needs more attention23:19
czajkowskiPendulum: gotcha23:20
doctormoczajkowski: I have to smile at that video you posted, I remember discovering half of the art works on deviantArt.23:25
czajkowskiI love that video23:25
czajkowskiit really makes my day, clearly either 2 hrs sleep makes me happy, or I am very easily pleased23:26
