[00:03] reading troy_s' latest blog post i am reminded that i could have handled the website development much better :/ [00:05] but i hope to learn from the experience (and his blog posts) and manage the next situation in a better fashion :) [00:08] If you aren't learning, it gets boring fast :) [00:30] i agree persia about primary and alternate solutions [02:31] i just learned about "jack sessions" last week, i wonder if we should be supporting it as we are with lashd in natty? [02:31] or should we choose one over the other? [02:31] and what we would need to do if we choose to support "jack sessions" [02:33] We probably ought involve ourselves in wider discussions so that we can have one method that users use to save full status of their work. [02:34] Could be jack sessions triggering lashd saves, or lashd saving the current jack session, or something else entirely. [02:36] how wide? i would imagine this could include more than the ubuntu studio or ubuntu communities [02:37] I think it probably needs discussion at the l-a-d@ level. [02:37] right, that seems entirely sane [02:38] From a quick glance at archives, seems there was some discussion on the topic from June. [02:39] And I think that upstream is being sane about this sort of thing, but it may need some work, especially in terms of integrating patches into the applications. [02:41] http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/WalkThrough/Dev/JackSession and http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/WalkThrough/User/jack_session keep failing to load for me, but are probably reasonable resources. [02:41] stochastic, dave phillips discussed some recent news about xjadeo http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/ecology-ardour [02:42] * persia hugs uzbl for loading all sorts of random stuff that doesn't work with regular browsers [02:42] persia, those are the pages i read last week, i had no idea about jack sessions until i read those [02:43] dave phillips also reports that blender is working on JACK support :) [02:44] Looks a bit immature for natty, to me, but maybe we'll reach sufficient coverage before natty+1 that it would make sense to target doing local patches for the more important apps still unsupported. [02:47] oh yeah, i don't expect this for natty, just pointing it out because i think it's awesome [02:48] persia, which browser are you trying to use to open the jack sessions pages? [02:49] I was using epiphany. [02:52] But my quest for a light-weight browser that does what I want is likely to end up with some custom luakit arrangement [16:21] stochastic: i think we may also be able to use wordpress for the website update [16:22] i've noticed many, many new official ubuntu web pages that are "Powered by WordPress", e.g. http://uds.ubuntu.com/ [16:30] persia: i forgot if you had confirmed this or not, do we need to remove the mscore package from the natty seeds and replace it with musescore? [16:30] is there anything else we will need to do? will someone else handle the actual transition package itself? [18:16] scott-work, Oh, for seeds! Yes, absolutely mscore needs to be removed and musescore placed. The mscore package has to be left in the archive until squeeze release. [18:18] persia: thank you, i'll update my branch of the seeds then [23:29] ScottL, switching themes/layouts within Drupal is an easy task; switching entire cms systems is much more involved. I'm also not familiar with wordpress, so I wouldn't be much help in that situation. [23:31] essentially, my view is that the site runs on drupal, there's nothing that wordpress can do that drupal can't, so there's no purpose to switching [23:32] I'll argue that there are N things wordpress can do that drupal can't, and vice versa, and neither are important in the slightest: the decision ought be made based on the capabilities of the administrators, rather than for a feature, as it's vanishingly rare that either can't do something that is important for most sites.
