scott-workdoctormo:  are you around?  I'd like to talk to you about your wizardpen support :)13:39
* dpm lunch13:51
doctormoscott-work: Yes I am around14:36
scott-workdoctormo:  persia told me some about you maintaining the upstream tablet support (wizardpen)15:02
scott-workdoctormo: your effort it certainly appreciated and i would like Ubuntu Studio to support his15:02
scott-works/his/this15:02
doctormoscott-work: Organising the upstream yes, not so much on the programming side, but sorting out the patches, people and downstream.15:02
scott-workdoctormo: i would like to get it into the ubuntu studio seeds for natty so we can provide support out of the box15:03
doctormoscott-work: persia said you would like to support it, I've got a debian guy working on some packaging.15:03
scott-workdoctormo: outstanding15:03
doctormoscott-work: So far we've had sucessful reports from Ubuntu and Mint users, failures for SuSE (not sure why, suspect Xorg version)15:04
doctormoso we need to be careful of xorg versions and where the tablet support drifts for natty, wacom support is the best and yet it's still needs patching for maverik.15:04
scott-workdoctormo: i don't intend to impugn your  debian packer's abilities, but if you run into trouble please let me know, the ubuntu studio team is working with the debian multimedia team and they freaking rock!15:05
doctormoscott-work: Hold that thought, I jsut got a facinating email concerning wizardpen, can you give me your email address so I can CC you?15:06
scott-workdoctormo: sure   scottalavender@gmail.com15:19
doctormoscott-work: OK just had to join about 10 dots in that email, it's very coincidental that we should be talking at the same time as receiving that. :-D15:20
scott-workdoctormo: serendipitous indeed :-)15:22
doctormoscott-work: What kind of tablet do you have?15:24
=== _paultag_ is now known as paultag_
scott-workdoctormo: i do not own a tablet15:29
doctormoscott-work: More of a keyboard man?15:30
scott-workdoctormo: but i see that the debian packager you are working with is the same one that i am familiar with :D15:30
scott-workdoctormo: i'm not really a robust artistic type, if i am inspired i usually use pencil although i have been using inkscape more and more though15:31
doctormoscott-work: I do my abominably awful daily sketches in inkscape with the tablet http://doctormo.deviantart.com/gallery/#_browse/scraps15:35
scott-workdoctormo:  so far i've really only used inkscape to work on logo and other ubuntu studio related items:  http://scottalavender.deviantart.com/gallery/15:45
scott-workdoctormo: although i'm beginning to be intrigued by the potential of tablets15:46
doctormoscott-work: See if you can find a second hand wizardpen on cragies list, that'd sure help :-D15:46

cjohnstonjono and whichever jcastro happens to be the real jcastro_, big new release of LoCo Directory took place this morning!16:08
jcastrooh nice16:08
jcastrodude people loved the directory when I showed it to them at OLF16:09
cjohnstontoo bad you werent showing them today...16:09
cjohnstonNames are now displayed instead of usernames16:09
cjohnstonPictures can be shown on pages now (from flickr and the like)16:10
doctormocjohnston: Hmm, what is the new empty row "Loco Contacts(s)" for?16:18
jcastroakgraner`: about how many attendees on Friday do you think?16:19
cjohnstondoctormo: for teams to assign contacts16:19
cjohnstonBecause an owner/admin doesn16:20
cjohnston't mean they are a contact16:20
doctormocjohnston: That's right, but why show an empty row?16:20
cjohnstonBecause noone has added the contacts?16:20
cjohnstonI guess it could be changed to if no contacts dont show16:20
cjohnstonI would think it would be more likely to be added if it was left visible though16:22
cjohnstonpeople would ping the admins and tell them about it16:22
doctormocjohnston: Although it breaks existing ui rules in that website for not showing rows that are not being used, or at the vest least filling out the blank area with (non set) and See contact here links for admins.16:27
doctormovery* set*16:29

jcastronice17:51
jcastrowhen's the new theme coming?17:51
technovikingafter we upgrade to vB417:53
technovikingYou can see a preview at http://www.mikesplanet.net/forums17:53
technovikingwould love some feedback from non-forum regulars17:54
jcastrothe orange feels too bright17:56
* jcastro uses this opportunity to ask for signatures to be shut off so conversations can be easier to follow17:56
technovikinggot the hex code for the color from the design team17:56
jcastroweird17:56
technovikingjcastro: no againist removing signature. File a bug and I will confirm it.17:58
jcastrotechnoviking: what's the lp project for the forums?18:00
technovikingthought ubuntuforums18:00

technovikingshould switch that18:01
dpmok, calling it a day. Have a nice rest of the day everyone!18:01
jcastrotechnoviking: filed, thanks18:06
* jcastro hopes people agree18:06
doctormopaultag, akgraner: Congrats on OLF.18:07
nigelbjcastro: Are the colors a bit mismatching?18:07
doctormoI wish I could have gone, I would have brought my booth decorations and made some more purple.18:07
akgranerdoctormo, thanks!  It was a great time - wish you could have been there18:07
nigelbI'm not great at UI, but those colors look too painful to look at.18:08
jcastroindeed18:08
nigelboh, I should read! You just said that :)18:08
jcastroand to be honest, do you care about the person's hardware or hobbies? If I did I would click on their profile18:08
jcastro"Running Lucid AMD64 on a Quad Core" etc.18:08
nigelbhahaha, forestpixie is having fun on new forums - "You might find it worthwhile to also kill the cat and buy a dog"18:09
technovikingjcastro: switch to ubuntu2 theme at the bottom, and see if that is better18:10
jcastrothat feels more right18:11
AlanBellDD4814 is the right colour in the RGB space18:11
AlanBellshould probably reference the ubuntubeta font (which should change names real soon now)18:12
AlanBellI hope it will be put up somewhere so it can be referenced with @font-face too18:12
technovikingAlanBell: people feel DD4814 is too bright, switch to the orange in the new theme18:13
technovikingneed to talk to Iain about this18:14
AlanBellmight want to throw in a little bit of dot pattern somewhere18:14
technovikingI will add the Ubuntu font18:14
jcastrotoo much purple18:14
doctormojcastro: there can never be enough purple! We are as kings!18:16
technovikingdoctormo: made a Dark Augine theme also:)18:16
czajkowskione cannot have enough orange18:17
czajkowskiit makes people happy18:17
AlanBellthe dark aubergine looks quite good18:17
technovikingAlanBell: needs a ton of tweaking, and the vB color scheme setup make KDE look simple18:19
doctormocjohnston: Congratulations, according to wacky statistics you've done most of the work on the loco directory after dholbach himself since the project was started. :-)18:20
technovikingover 200 setting, before you even look at css or templates18:20
cjohnstonwacky statistics?18:20
doctormoczajkowski: Isn't orange an emotive colour, depends on the shade. Best colours are green for relaxing and natural and blue for vibrant and awake.18:21
doctormocjohnston: bugs and merge requests.18:21
cjohnstonwhat is wacky statistics?18:22
czajkowskidoctormo: have you seen my blog18:23
czajkowskiI LOVE ORANGE18:23

akgranerjono, jcastro  - will you all be blogging about AppDevWeek this week - looks like there is only one open slot in the original time slots and 2 open in the extended area18:39
jcastrotelepathy should be going in the original slot18:40
jcastroI will blog it tomorrow ish18:40
jcastrosorry I am slammed today18:40
akgranerjcastro, no worries18:40
akgranerI know the feeling I'm catching up from OLF - just wanted to get it on your radar :-)18:40
jcastronod18:40
akgranerjcastro, I'm going back to "selling time-shares" now ;-P18:42
jcastrodon't forget the upsell!18:42
doctormoIs that what we've come down to.18:42
akgranerdoctormo, that's how jcastro said I sounded when I was talking about the benefits of being on a LoCo team18:42
jcastroheh18:42
jonobrb19:00
akgranerjcastro, I put telepathy w/instructor TBD in the Friday Slot and added Sense's  - indicator stack in python to Tuesday - so that leaves one extra open slot19:00
jcastrocool, don't sweat the extra slots19:01
jcastrodon't feel like you need to fill them19:01
jonojcastro just give me a few mins19:01
jcastrothey are bonus19:01

Pendulumjono: welcome back!19:16
nigelbConspirary theorists might argue that the horsemen are planning their vacation on after another so at least one of them have to deal with the other's action items :p19:18

Pendulumnigelb: haha. that's fabulous :P19:18

vishoops nigelb ^ ..19:20

czajkowskioh I did too19:21

* AlanBell likes being the boss19:22
AlanBellvacation allowances are things that happen to other people19:22
Pendulumand there were only really 4 of us in the office that did the same job so things were quite spread out19:22
PendulumAlanBell: thanks for rubbing that in :P19:23
JanCPendulum: heh, in Belgium it's almost mandatory to take your full vacation time  ;)19:57
PendulumJanC: paid or unpaid?19:57
JanCpaid19:58
Pendulumin the US no one has to even offer paid vacation time19:58
Pendulumor paid sick time19:58
JanCif you work during your legally granted vacation time, they have to pay you a lot extra19:59
Pendulum(the no paid sick leave is becoming a bigger issue, though, because when everyone got scared about swine flu they started realising that people who don't get paid for sick time often can't afford to take time off even when they're really sick)19:59
Pendulum(I'm not sure why this was a new thought)19:59
JanCsick time is paid by your employer for the 1st week to month here, after that you get paid a minimum income by the mandatory social security20:01
Pendulumheh20:01
JanCbasic social security insurance is mandatory here...20:03
JanCand regulated by the government20:04
doctormoAlanBell: pay at all is something that happens to other people, no?20:07
AlanBelldoctormo: yeah, there is that!20:07
AlanBellalthough we have started paying a regular salary now20:08

scott-workdoctormo: i found this ubuntu page for wizardpen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen20:28

technovikingjcastro: User CP -> Options -> visible Post Elements -> disable "show Signatures"20:29
scott-workopen question for the channel follows:20:29
jcastrotechnoviking: I know how to turn it off for me20:29
jcastroI mean by default20:29
scott-workcan anyone suggest how to acquire help for updating the Ubuntu Studio Drupal website ?20:29
scott-worki've tried ubuntu forums, the ubuntustudio-users mail list ...with extremely limited success20:30
technovikingscott-work: did anyone take over for Cory?20:31
scott-worktechnoviking: in which capacity?  as studio lead?20:31
technovikingscott-work: yeah20:32
scott-worktechnoviking: ah, yes, that would be me :)20:33
technovikingscott-work: doh, sorry20:33
scott-worktechnoviking: lol ;)20:33
czajkowskiheh20:34
czajkowskiit was handy when lusibg was over here we ju'd poke him with issues20:34
scott-workto be honest, i'm ready to go to the drupal forums and ask for some kindly, gentle soul to take pity on me20:34
scott-worki've had several offers of help to develop a website based on word press but i've been told through the grapevine that word press is verboten20:35
czajkowskiscott-work: are you on twitter? if so ask @forbairt for some advice, he themes all my sites with WP and latest one is a wiki but all others are wp20:37
scott-workczajkowski:  thank you for the tip, however, ubuntustudio.org is hosted on Canonical servers and i've been told only drupal sites are allowed due to security concerns :(20:39
czajkowskiahhhh20:39
czajkowskiscott-work: *hugs*20:39
scott-workczajkowski: thank you20:41
scott-workhowever, if i can't find someone willing to help out with update the drupal site I might resort to pay out of my own pocket to host the site elsewhere and use word press then :/20:42
highvoltagescott-work: hey20:42
highvoltagescott-work: what kind of hosting do you need?20:42
highvoltage(sorry I also have no context :) )20:43
scott-workhighvoltage:  for this:  http://ubuntustudio.org/20:43
scott-workhighvoltage:  currently using drupal as CMS but possibly moving to word press20:43
highvoltagescott-work: cool20:44
highvoltagescott-work: why would you need other hosting? doesn't canonical host that?20:44
scott-workhighvoltage: it does, but we would really like to update the website, which is currently in drupal, and we are having trouble finding someone to effect it20:45
scott-workhighvoltage: we have had offers to do a complete makeover using word press but apparently word press can not be used on canonical servers20:46
highvoltagescott-work: are the people who told you that aware that markshuttleworth.com runs on wordpress (hosted at canonical), as well as the Canonical blog itself? And also soon the Ubuntu Fridge?20:46
technovikingscott-work: WordPress rock20:46
highvoltagealso, wordpress is easier to keep up to date. lots of drupal sites (ubuntu studio is an example) don't get updated and become horribly insecure anyway20:47
scott-workhighvoltage: i would presume not (aware that *.com runs on wordpress)20:47
highvoltageubuntu.com is on drupal20:48
scott-worki think a follow up series of emails is most likely in order then :)20:48
czajkowskiI think a lot of people have tried to tackle this before20:48
scott-workhighvoltage: i had noticed this http://uds.ubuntu.com/ several days ago as well (which is wordpress)20:49
highvoltageit shouldn't be that hard, I revampted the edubuntu site recently and getting the permissions I need wasn't hard20:49
highvoltageI just filed tickets on RT for everything I required20:49
highvoltageand then poked some people in #canonical-sysadmin now and again20:49
scott-workhighvoltage:  i notice that the edubuntu website seems to pull data from wiki.ubuntu.com but reformats it (presumably with css), are you responsible for that?20:50
highvoltagescott-work: I can understand why some people don't like it, but to say that it's forbidden when some prominent sites run it, and even when new ones are being set up to do so sounds kind of like a double-standard20:50
highvoltagescott-work: that's not what it does, it's a drupal site :)20:51
scott-workhighvoltage:  agreed (double standards)20:51
scott-workhighvoltage: but it seems to mirror what is on wiki.ubuntu.com; it even has the ubuntu studio meeting notes20:51
highvoltagescott-work: you're probably on the wrong site then ;)20:52
highvoltagescott-work: http://edubuntu.org20:52
scott-workhighvoltage: sorry, wrong site LOL20:52
scott-workhttps://wiki.edubuntu.org/UbuntuStudio/Meetings20:52
highvoltageyep, that's the wiki20:52

paultagakgraner, http://docs.python.org/howto/unicode.html22:17
paultagakgraner, I know you hate that stuff, but read slow and don't skip anything. It will all follow22:17
akgranerI created a new file and pasted that in and saved it as script in vim after I installed xsel and cleaned up the deprecated dependences22:18
akgranerpaultag, I'll have to look into that later - right now I gotta get UWN out :-/22:19
paultagakgraner, sure, I'll see if I can't put together an example for ya22:20
akgranerThank you!22:23
