[05:35] <nisshh> :)
[05:35] <nigelb> nisshh: Its going out with friends and hanging around them for 3 days
[05:35] <nisshh> nigelb, how boring :)

[07:38] <dholbach> jcastro, ubuntutheproject-community-n-unity-bugfixing-participation says that I should "Provide a graph for tracking metrics for this initative" - can we talk about that at some stage? I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do

[12:04]  * popey points duanedesign at jcastro 
[12:06] <duanedesign> <.<   >,>
[12:09]  * nigelb wonders why
[12:14]  * duanedesign thinks it is about screencasts
[12:14] <duanedesign> I think jorge wants to redo his askubuntu screencast
[12:14] <nigelb> aha
[13:02]  * dpm <-- long lunch at the uni
[13:10] <czajkowski> randa: ping

[13:35] <randa> sure czajkowski :)
[13:57] <popey> \o/ http://ucasts.tv/2010/11/08/ucast-0003-update-manager-intro/  spam spam spam spam
[13:57] <popey> :)
[13:58] <nigelb> popey: did you start it?
[13:58] <popey> start what?
[13:58] <nigelb> the site!
[13:58] <popey> yes
[13:58] <nigelb> Its lovely!
[13:58] <popey> with some help from lovely people in the Ubuntu community
[13:58] <popey> thank you
[13:58] <nigelb> (yes, I have been on another planet for a few days)
[13:58] <popey> Welcome back to planet Earth
[13:58] <nigelb> hah
[14:00] <popey> If you have any suggestions for things I should record.. do let me know..  http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/Screencasts
[14:04] <nigelb> whoa, that's a biiiiiiig list :)
[14:04] <popey> yup
[14:04] <popey> ideally I'd release one a day, maybe more
[14:05] <nigelb> wow, that's commitment
[14:05] <popey> yeah, wont happen ;)
[14:05] <popey> thats why they're all so short
[14:05] <nigelb> I'm hoping you'd get ad revenues to pay your costs
[14:05] <popey> unlikely
[14:05] <popey> the site is only 3 days old
[14:06] <nigelb> well, but over time...
[14:06] <popey> maybe in the future I'll get a bit, but doubt it will be enough to cover all costs
[14:06] <popey> yeah
[14:06] <popey> we'll see
[14:07] <nigelb> me thinks a donate button would be helpful
[14:10] <popey> do people actually click those
[14:10] <jcastro> the flattr ones seem popular
[14:12] <nigelb> yeah, there is flattr already
[14:13] <popey> yeah, I've flattr'ed a few people
[14:52] <dholbach> jcastro, ubuntutheproject-community-n-unity-bugfixing-participation says that I should "Provide a graph for tracking metrics for this initative" - can we talk about that at some stage? I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do
[14:52] <jcastro> dholbach: yeah
[14:53] <jcastro> it's ok they haven't landed anything that we can file bug reports on
[14:53] <jcastro> dholbach: basically I am going to make a set of tags
[14:53] <jcastro> and we have to measure them via a graph
[14:53] <jcastro> the tag will probably be "bitesize"
[14:53] <dholbach> jcastro, can you update the work item so it's a bit clearer what I have to do (whenever the time is right)?
[14:53] <dholbach> :-D
[14:53] <jcastro> and we need to track based on status, so like Triaged, fix committed, etc.
[14:53] <jcastro> sure I can do it now
[14:53] <dholbach> sweet
[14:53] <dholbach> thanks
[14:56] <jcastro> hey wait a minute
[14:56] <jcastro> don't the QA bug pages do graphs of bugs already?
[14:56] <jcastro> http://status.qa.ubuntu.com/qapkgstatus/usplash
[14:58] <jcastro> dholbach: we should just have QA add all of "Unity" there
[14:58] <jcastro> and then all we need is a seperate line for "bitesize"
[14:58] <dholbach> I think that bdmurray can very easily set them up
[14:58] <dholbach> but for me it's no super big deal either
[15:24] <jcastro> dholbach: I split it up into 2 bullets and clarified
[15:24] <jcastro> I hope they make sense
[15:24] <dholbach> thanks jcastro
[15:24] <dholbach> dpm is having internet problems, he'll brb
[15:35] <jcastro> caffeine refill, bbi 10
[15:38] <duanedesign> jcastro: you were wanting to update the 'how to use ask ubuntu' screencast?
[15:47] <paultag> jussi, advertising hard, eh? :)
[15:47] <czajkowski> paultag: get all college work done?
[15:47] <jussi> paultag: no?
[15:47] <paultag> czajkowski, last night at 0400 my time
[15:48] <paultag> czajkowski, I spent over 12 hours at my computer desk. I better get a half-decent grade.
[15:48] <paultag> czajkowski, and today, I have my phone interview with Google. I'm thinking it will go south.
[15:48] <paultag> jussi, Nah, I was kidding you
[15:49] <czajkowski> paultag: just relax sit in front of a mirror for interview
[15:49] <czajkowski> have pen and papper for doddling and relaxing
[15:49] <paultag> czajkowski, I have to do it over google docs, perhaps I'll pull up cheese ;)
[15:49] <paultag> czajkowski, I'll have to do that. aye
[15:49] <czajkowski> make sure no housemates in to annoy you and you'll be fine
[15:49] <paultag> +1
[15:49] <czajkowski> also glass of water
[15:51] <Pendulum> paultag: good luck :) I'm sure it'll go well :)
[15:51] <paultag> thanks Pendulum !
[15:52] <duanedesign> or a glass of whiskey
[15:53] <dholbach> hey jono
[15:53] <jono> hey dholbach
[15:53] <jono> :-)
[15:55] <paultag> duanedesign, +1
[15:55] <czajkowski> jussi: why sending multiple mails|
[15:55] <jcastro> yeah jussi!
[15:55] <jcastro> spammer!
[15:55] <paultag> herp derp!
[15:55] <jcastro> duanedesign: yeah at some point, I was hoping popey would just do it for me
[15:55] <jcastro> since he has a nicer, calmer, english voice.
[15:55] <popey> lol
[15:56] <czajkowski> lol
[15:56] <jcastro> maybe I'll do it tonight or tomorrow night, depending on how much time I have
[15:56] <popey> Your voice has a rugged authenticity to it jcastro :)
[15:56] <jcastro> the part where I sound like an 8 year old? yeah
[15:56] <popey> lol
[15:56] <jcastro> we need to find someone with a nice deep radio voice to do voice overs
[15:56] <popey> yeah
[15:57] <duanedesign> jcastro: well if you find you are too busy I would be glad to help you get it done
[15:57] <jcastro> I have them down now, I can bust them out quite quickly in one take
[15:57] <jcastro> I did a banshee one the other day
[15:58] <czajkowski> jcastro: just the chap I was looking for, re the wiki clean up and moving to askubuntu was I assined any actionitems ?
[15:58] <popey> yeah, the ones I have done recently have been done in one take
[15:59] <popey> once you know what you're going to say you can hit record and just fly
[15:59] <jcastro> czajkowski: not afaik
[15:59] <jcastro> czajkowski: oh wait
[15:59] <jcastro> "feel free to use it!"
[15:59] <jcastro> :)
[15:59] <czajkowski> ah grand so
[15:59] <jcastro> czajkowski: one thing I dunno if I mentioned it in the session
[15:59] <czajkowski> will work on that in spare time
[15:59] <jcastro> is be careful about seeding questions
[15:59] <czajkowski> seeding??
[15:59] <jcastro> let me find an example
[16:00] <czajkowski> thanks
[16:00] <jcastro> http://askubuntu.com/questions/2842/how-do-i-get-involved-with-the-ubuntu-kernel
[16:00] <czajkowski> thanks
[16:00] <jcastro> the kernel guys were trying to move some of their faq stuff
[16:00] <jcastro> and this question was something they thought was a FAQ
[16:00] <jcastro> (ends up it's not)
[16:00] <popey> :)
[16:00] <jcastro> http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/257/how-does-ask-ubuntu-work/259#259
[16:01] <jcastro> there's the advice to fix it ^
[16:01] <czajkowski> thank you
[16:02] <czajkowski> NEw machine is named Penny, can you guess why :)
[16:02] <jcastro> czajkowski: that being said doctormo figured it out nicely here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11781/where-can-i-find-ubuntu-posters
[16:03] <jcastro> dholbach: I mailed bdmurray and ara about adding a section in status.qa
[16:03] <jcastro> that would be brilliant
[16:03] <dholbach> jcastro, great, thanks
[16:03] <Pendulum> czajkowski: too bad you can't bring it to Cheesecake Factory?
[16:04] <jcastro> dholbach: I think their existing stats + adding some tag tracking, like bitesize would be great
[16:04] <Pici> mmm... cheesecake
[16:05] <jcastro> czajkowski: I was hoping for more community-like questions by now. :-/
[16:06] <czajkowski> jcastro: will resolve that soon enough, gimmie a week to get settled in here
[16:06] <jcastro> heh
[16:10] <jcastro> czajkowski: which wiki things did you have in mind btw?
[16:11] <czajkowski> loco stuff
[16:11] <czajkowski> so much frigging duplication drives me bat shit crazy
[16:11] <duanedesign> popey: are you going to be available in about 7 minutes? I am going to upload a screencast and probably need you to move them to the proper folder.
[16:21] <popey> duanedesign: sure
[16:22] <duanedesign> popey: thank you. It is uploading now. 001-HowToConnectIRC
[16:27] <duanedesign> jussi: nice to see the ubuntu-irc-members team.
[16:28] <doctormo> jono: Are you around?
[16:28] <jono> doctormo, yup
[16:30] <duanedesign> jussi: a few people in #ubuntu-beginners who give good consistent support who i will pass mention that too
[16:30] <doctormo> jono: I'm PMing you.
[16:46] <popey> duanedesign: upload finished?
[16:46] <popey> e396a04d50cef035d66323c5eee4e8ff  001-HowToConnectIRC.ogv
[16:49] <czajkowski> hmm wonder what time my finish time is
[16:49] <czajkowski> really should have checked that
[16:50] <popey> UK is usually 7.5-8 hour day
[16:51] <czajkowski> ahh
[16:51] <czajkowski> thanks
[17:00] <duanedesign> popey: yep

[17:34] <dpm> ok, time to call it a day. See you all tomorrow!
[17:34] <dholbach> dpm, have a great evening!
[17:34] <jono> night dpm!
[17:35] <dpm> dholbach, jono, and to you, have a nice rest of the day!
[17:40] <Technoviking> thought you guys all use Facetime now to chat:)
[17:43] <jussi> LOL
[17:43] <jussi> (and yes, I had to google facetime)
[18:29] <jono> jcastro, mind if we punt our meeting by a few hours?
[18:29] <jcastro> jono: no worries
[18:29] <jono> thanks jcastro
[18:29] <jono> jcastro, you got all the objectives, work items and  blueprints finalized for the chat?
[18:30] <jcastro> jono: everything is set, I had to adjust 2 work items for daniel this morning but other than that they are done.
[18:30] <jcastro> pending you asking me to rewrite them all of course. :p
[18:43] <jono> thanks jcastro
[18:43] <jono> lol
[18:44] <duanedesign> the beginnerss team has made some awesome progress on the plans we laid out at UDS. I am really proud of the team. :)
[18:46] <duanedesign> none too soon, we are getting a lot of new folks. I think this is going to be a good cycle for the team.
[18:47] <jcastro> \o/
[18:54] <duanedesign> yeah i am pretty excited.
[18:55] <Pici> I was surprised on how much activity you all had.  :)
[19:48]  * czajkowski had a fantastic first day at work :) love my new job 
[19:49] <Pici> yay
[19:50] <Pendulum> czajkowski: that's wonderful!
[20:16] <AlanBell> nice :)
[20:18] <jono> doctormo, around?
[20:18] <doctormo> jono: yep
[20:18] <jono> doctormo, can you do me a cool logo for openrespect.org
[20:19] <doctormo> jono: Sure, just put together a brief, include the emote and theme you want to envoke and I'll see what I can put together for you.
[20:19] <jono> doctormo, I haven't got much time to knock a brief together, essentially:
[20:20] <jono>  * single color - white on transparency
[20:20] <jono>  * something that looks professional and sleek
[20:20] <jono>  * preferably with a symbol in the logo that reflect 'respect'
[20:20] <jono> (maybe shaking hands)
[20:21] <jono>  * I want to make the logo something easily recognizable - so I can ask people to put buttons on their websites
[20:21] <jono> sounds OK?
[20:48] <AlanBell> sounds like the brief for the circle of friends
[20:48] <Technoviking> czajkowski: woot
[20:53] <doctormo> AlanBell: I agree, but I might be able to grab the fist from the black pantha movement ;-)
[21:20] <czajkowski> Technoviking: ;)
[22:45] <scott-work> doctormo: you got a name check in the latest Linux Outlaws episode for the generative wallpaper
[22:46] <doctormo> thanks scott-work
[23:04] <Technoviking> jono: congrats on 2 years!!! Your a lucky man.
[23:12] <jono> thanks Technoviking
[23:12] <jono> I am indeed :-)
[23:14] <scott-work> jono:  just listened to your interview with dan on ratholeradio, very enjoyable :)
