[21:17] <newz2000> hey MTecknology, just saw the security notice from Drupal.org for the ubuntu theme
[21:17] <newz2000> Can you shed any light onto this?
[21:37] <stas> AlanBell: wanna see a demo of wp theme in full action? :)
[21:37] <stas> http://ubu.rivalry.nerd.ro/
[21:40] <AlanBell> ooh nice
[21:42] <stas> we're finally moving the content
[21:42] <AlanBell> http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/website <- brainstorming of stuff we want to do with ours
[21:42] <AlanBell> http://beta.ubuntu-uk.org progress so far
[21:43] <AlanBell> we are working on openstreetmap integration
[21:43] <stas> whats the plan with openstreetmap?
[21:43] <AlanBell> and I want to do a little script to embed todays IRC logs
[21:43] <AlanBell> allow people to say what town they are in, and link to their wiki page/launchpad profile
[21:44] <AlanBell> different markers for events and venues we use
[21:44] <AlanBell> bit like the launchpad maps that got removed
[21:45] <stas> AlanBell: i wrote some time ago a wordpress plugin that does this
[21:45] <stas> http://softwareliber.ro/despre/harta/?lang=en
[21:45] <stas> we actually build the lugs map in our country with it
[21:45] <AlanBell> nice
[21:46] <AlanBell> really nice :)
[21:47] <stas> i dropped the feature to use OSM because they didn't have a functional api for geolocation search
[21:47] <AlanBell> is the plugin in the wordpress.org repository thing?
[21:47] <stas> so i would need googles api for that anyway
[21:47] <stas> AlanBell: yes, guess the name: lug map :)
[21:47] <AlanBell> yeah, that is a problem, I *really* don't want to tell people to find out their latitude and longitude to add themselves to the map!
[21:49] <stas> i plan a rewrite of it asap, cause the code is horrible
[21:53] <MTecknology> newz2000: I had a PHP file that generated an image that opened up directory traversal.
[21:53] <newz2000> Do you think it would be good for you to mention it on the website and loco team mailing lists to encourage people to upgrade?
[21:53] <newz2000> MTecknology: ^
[21:55] <MTecknology> newz2000: sure, I had to keep it private until the fix was released, but I'll tell anyone anything now
[21:55] <newz2000> Why don't you go ahead and make an announcement to those lists
[21:55] <MTecknology> yup
[21:55] <newz2000> thanks man
[21:58] <AlanBell> http://beta.ubuntu-uk.org/where-are-we/ nearly works, but doesn't add the pin
[21:58] <AlanBell> I don't have database access so can't easily see if it is populating the table
[22:06] <stas> AlanBell: i'll take a look, it works for us with older wp
[22:18] <MTecknology> newz2000: I think I sent it..
[22:18] <stas> MTecknology: got it too, thanks
[22:18] <newz2000> thanks MTecknology
[22:18] <MTecknology> yay
[22:19] <MTecknology> this week has just been hell
[22:19] <MTecknology> :(
[22:19] <stas> its not over it :|
[22:19] <stas> yet*
[22:20] <MTecknology> I just want to go home and sleep for the rest of it :'(
[22:21] <MTecknology> attorneys are expensive too
[22:21] <newz2000> !!
[22:21] <MTecknology> newz2000: as an ubuntu member... i get an attorney provided by canonical.. llike lwn... right?
[22:21] <newz2000> :-) It never hurts to ask
[22:22] <MTecknology> it has very little to do with open source
[22:22] <MTecknology> in fact all that it does have to do with open source is that we use drupal
[22:22] <newz2000> I think it's actually one or the other, either LWN or an attorney, you have to choose when you get membership
[22:23] <newz2000> MTecknology: is this relating to some work you're doing for a client?
[22:24] <MTecknology> lol
[22:24] <MTecknology> newz2000: somewhat with a client - but the issue isn't with them
[22:24] <MTecknology> query?
[22:24] <MTecknology> nah.. I think i made it public enough
[22:24] <newz2000> I just know that when I did freelance stuff once in a while we'd get a client who went legal if we didn't hit a date or something
[22:25] <MTecknology> Basically... two of the partners (i'm the third) want to leave, but one contract that they want to take (and I want them to take) is bound to this company - no way to get out of that
[22:25] <newz2000> always a pain, only happened when they had a staff or retainer attorney
[22:25] <newz2000> ah
[22:25] <MTecknology> it's the liability that we're most concerned with
[22:26] <newz2000> equal partnerships are always murky water
[22:26] <newz2000> Good way to lose friends
[22:27] <daker> newz2000, anything about the new template ?
[22:27] <newz2000> daker: what's that? Referring to moin theme?
[22:29] <daker> newz2000, i mean the guidelines update
[22:29] <MTecknology> newz2000: one was a friend, the other I've hated the whole trip
[22:29] <newz2000> MTecknology: :-)
[22:29] <MTecknology> newz2000: him yelling at me today the way he did and the choice of words he used kinda sealed our relationship for life
[22:30] <MTecknology> so I called him a whiny prick
[22:30] <newz2000> sounds like a descending spiral
[22:31] <newz2000> daker: actually, yes, I started a draft e-mail yesterday and need to hit the send button
[22:31] <MTecknology> pretty much
[22:31] <newz2000> daker: but basically, it isn't ready. I really mis-understood the status of that and it needs some more iteration before Ale is ready for people to play with it
[22:32] <newz2000> MTecknology: back in 2000 I started a company with a friend. We were "partners" but tehcnically he was putting up the money so he was the sr. partner.
[22:32] <newz2000> For the first half year it was great, fun and all.
[22:33] <newz2000> Then it started getting hard. Put a lot of strain on our friendship.
[22:33] <newz2000> We went separate ways and our friendship is recovering, but the last year was tough. (we went 4.5 years)
[22:34] <newz2000> if I ever do that again I won't do a partnership
[22:36] <newz2000> MTecknology: sorry you're having a struggle though. :-/
[22:37] <MTecknology> newz2000: thanks for the sympathy, I'm hoping we can keep things civil.. I'm not opposed to just leaving and going to work at the local ISP...
[22:37] <MTecknology> what I really need is a big black beer
[22:38] <newz2000> For half a second thought you said "big black bear"
[22:38] <MTecknology> lol
[22:56] <AlanBell> the drupal image bug thing is limited just to drupal right? not wordpress?
[22:56] <newz2000> AlanBell: yes, there was a drupal theme from a while back, a year at least
[22:57] <AlanBell> ah right, thanks
