MTecknologystas: I really wish there was some dead simple way to integrate that thing with drupal..02:34
MTecknologyWhat was the result of discussing all the legal stuff?02:35
MTecknologyI did my best to make sure nothing trademark specific was included in the drupal theme02:36
jpdsnewz2000: Ping.16:08
newz2000yo jpds, what's up?16:08
jpdsnewz2000: Hey, can you change the link for the US at the buttom of http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download to "mirror.anl.gov", it's using an old name for the box.16:09
newz2000jpds: yes, let me do it now16:10
jpdsnewz2000: Brilliant, thanks.16:12
* newz2000 cannot remember how to log into the site to edit16:14
* newz2000 is so embarrased16:14
jpdsnewz2000: Also the torrent links for 10.04 are broken.16:16
newz2000ok, I'll have to look at them shortly. My computer is mis-behaving because it wants to reboot from an update.16:16
jpdsWait; you're running Windows?16:17
jpds;-)16:17
newz2000no, I'm in 10.04 still16:18
newz2000been putting off a kernel update for a week or so I guess16:19
ChrisWoollardHello16:55
ChrisWoollarddo any of you look after wiki.ubuntu.com?16:56
dakerChrisWoollard: it's newz2000 and AlanBell16:58
newz2000ChrisWoollard: well, kidn of, what are you needing?16:58
AlanBellhi daker16:58
AlanBellactually not me16:58
ChrisWoollardWhen I try to change my prefs on the wiki it gives me an error.16:58
AlanBellI have just been mucking about with a copy of the moin theme16:59
ChrisWoollard"This email already belongs to somebody else"16:59
newz2000ChrisWoollard: I can try to help16:59
ChrisWoollardthat was the error message.16:59
newz2000I remember seeing this error a long time ago when we first switched on SSO16:59
newz2000(single sign on via launchpad.net)16:59
newz2000ChrisWoollard: when you try to login, does it take you over to launchpad and then when you come back you get the error?17:00
ChrisWoollardit doesn't17:00
ChrisWoollardit thinks i am already logged on17:00
newz2000Why don't you log out and try to log in again, tell me what happens17:01
ChrisWoollardi have tried logging out and in again, but that didn't work17:01
newz2000ok17:01
newz2000Let me ask what the proper procedure is to get this fixed17:01
ChrisWoollardIt makes me wonder if there are 2 of me in the database17:01
newz2000I think so.17:02
newz2000You probably have an old wiki account and its tryign to create a new one based on your launchpad SSO credentials17:02
newz2000hi ChrisWoollard, here's what you need to do17:06
newz2000send an email to rt@ubuntu.com explaing the details. For best results, tell your email address you use for launchpad.net and your launchpad user name.17:07
ChrisWoollardthanks17:09
ChrisWoollardis that where you log calls17:09
newz2000That's the trouble ticket system for community related issues17:10
newz2000relating to system adminstration17:10
newz2000for best results, always report your prob as close to the solution as possible. (don't use RT for everything, just sysadmin stuff)17:10
ChrisWoollardUnderstood17:11
ChrisWoollardthx17:11
newz2000my pleasure17:11
newz2000hey AlanBell, what do you think of the wiki theme?19:58
zkriesseit's shit honestly19:58
zkriessesorry but it just is19:58
newz2000something specific about this theme or is this moin themes in general?19:59
zkriessethis specific "light" theme19:59
zkriesseFor the ubuntu website? Eh whatever19:59
zkriesseBut for the wiki.ubuntu.com it's terrible19:59
newz2000yeah, there's an updated guide for the themes20:00
newz2000It's much better for the wiki20:00
zkriesseWe don't need all that crap at the top of the header, don't need all those links at the bottom, and all that other junk20:00
newz2000This one only has to last us a month20:00
zkriesseOh?20:00
zkriesseAnd why's that20:00
newz2000well, we had some guidelines for creating the themes for related sites20:01
newz2000but they weren't clear20:01
newz2000so I talked to the designers and had them clarify20:01
zkriesseOh and aplogies, haven't done any bugs I know but Ive been away for the weekend and most likely all this week...20:01
newz2000apparently they weren't intending the guidelines to be used in the way we used them20:01
newz2000So they gave us new better more specific guidelines20:01
newz2000however, Jane (Canonical CEO) says she wants somethign now (Wed actually)20:02
newz2000so we have to go with what we have20:02
zkriesseAh20:02
newz2000btw, zkriesse, are you working on this with AlanBell?20:02
zkriesse"This" being?20:02
newz2000the theme20:02
newz2000I thought he was doing some hacking on it, but maybe that was you20:03
zkriesseAh no...20:03
* newz2000 has been pretty focused the last week20:03
zkriessedidn't know I could20:03
* newz2000 uploaded it, gets a link20:03
newz2000https://code.launchpad.net/~newz/+junk/light-wiki20:03
newz2000I need to present the updated guidelines, they're so good20:04
newz2000I think I can do that today, if not then it will be by Wed for sure20:04
zkriesseK20:04
zkriesseWell Im out for a while20:05
newz2000no sweat20:05
newz2000I do apprecaite your thoughts, and I don't disagree20:05
zkriesseOK20:05
zkriesseYes from a major wiki guru standpoint the current theme is terrible for wiki purposes...if its just for the ubuntu website then it's ok(ish) but eh....20:06
newz2000I spent a good amount of time on another, highly functional wiki theme20:06
newz2000we use it on the Canonical intranet wiki, people seem to like it20:07
zkriessehuh cool20:07
zkriessewel....20:07
* zkriesse out20:07
newz2000later20:07
