YoBoYit's good, here we are more "events oriented" not contribute to the ubuntu project ¬_¬ lot of non technical people, it's good also but not the same ^^07:37

Ddorda‎i don't think it's a bad thing07:41
YoBoYyes and a tiny small core group to make it work, it's very hard ^^"07:42
Ddorda‎YoBoY: hm.. i see07:45

czajkowskialoha folks09:07
dholbachhey czajkowski09:10
dholbachczajkowski, just FYI there's two different mailing lists about the LD09:11
czajkowskidholbach: ello, how's you ?09:11
dholbachthe one on LP is just bug mail and merge proposals09:11
dholbachczajkowski, good good - how are you?09:11
dholbachthe one on lists.u.c is for general discussion (and free for everyone to sign up for it)09:11
czajkowskigood someone just told me it's going to be -8 at the weekend in \Stuttgart so rather worried :s09:11
czajkowskidholbach: ahh ok09:12
dholbachha, same in Berlin09:12
czajkowskidholbach: I could see the one I wanted to suscribe to was having discussions that were taking place in here and I was being asked stuff09:12
czajkowskiso just wanted to have it in one place09:12
dholbachthere's discussions in all kinds of merge proposals and bug reports too09:13
czajkowskiahh ok09:25

cjohnstondholbach: ping13:38
dholbachcjohnston, pong13:38
cjohnstonmornin! would it be possible to give mhall119 and myself admin access so that we can fix bugs like bug 66082213:40
ubot4`Launchpad bug 660822 in loco-directory "Duplicate venue cannot be deleted (affects: 2) (heat: 12)" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/66082213:40
dholbachwe should fix this in the code13:40
dholbachie: not allow places with same name and same address13:41
cjohnstonallowing merges or something?13:41
dholbachno, tell folks upfront that they're about to enter the same venue again13:42
cjohnstonI would say though that it is possible to have two venues with the same address... 13:42
dholbachsame name and same address?13:42
cjohnstondifferent name, same address... i missed the same name part..13:43
mhall119morning13:43
cjohnstonhey mhall119 13:43
cjohnstonfor this particular venue, the second one was entered with Washington, DC in the address area.. I removed that part, and placed it in the city...13:44
mhall119cjohnston: want to do a release today after your two merge proposals are reviewed?13:45
cjohnstonthat works13:45
dholbachok, I updated the bug13:47
dholbachI don't think we should have any "merge venue" business :)13:47
dholbachit's too much work13:47
dholbachwe just shouldn't allow it :)13:47
dholbachmaybe do some   .strip().lower()  checks when comparing the two13:48
mhall119cjohnston: okay, the header change is approved and merged, you and dholbach decide what you think is best for the "Add Team Event" link13:48
dholbachI think it's OK if the LD tells them "you're not part of any team, you can't add a team event"13:49
dholbach:)13:49
cjohnstonit says your not part of this team or on the LC.13:49
mhall119dholbach: the question is whether we should show the link to people who are not logged in, then take them to the login screen, then back to an error message13:50
mhall119I think that may be more confusing13:50
cjohnstonCould possible even add a link: $is_member > If you would like to add an event for $your_team click here.13:50
dholbachI think the problem we have right now is that people don't know what they could do with the LD even if they were logged in13:50
dholbachwhat do you think if you add a link saying "join a team now" and refer them back to /teams/?13:50
mhall119I've got to run to work, I'll be back in an hour or so13:51

dholbachif you prefer not to show it, that's fine with me - I just thought that it'd make sense to show users the options they have even if they might run into a "ok, you logged in, but hey you're not part of a team yet - go back to the teams' list to join one"16:24

cjohnstonwhen you click add event from http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/  which one does it go to16:27
jledbetterAsks me to select a team. But if I'm already looking at a team, then I think it defaults to whatever team I'm looking at. I think that's where I ran into trouble. 16:28

mhall119jledbetter: correct, the link on the team page is only for that team16:31

jledbetterRight. If I go back to the right spot then I am reminded that I need to say which team I'm creating the event for.16:32

leoggmhall119: nice!18:09
leoggcjohnston: maybe a link on the 'add an event' bit? if it's easy to implement? 18:11
paultagcjohnston, we're not a doc team18:21
paultagcjohnston, don't keep assigning us bugs that you don't want to write18:21
cjohnstonpaultag: that was actually requested by Daniel.. And that's fine.. I'll mark any bug that I don't want to write as wontfix18:22
cjohnstonIt was written.. AFAIK by one of the developers.. and it was asked that the LC review it18:23
paultagcjohnston, those bugs are OK, but I don't like the loco-council tagged bugs for us to write up content, I assure you, we don't spend all our time working on writing stuff, we have work that we have to do18:25
paultagcjohnston, just keep that in mind18:25
mhall119paultag: some of those had LC members volunteer to write something18:25
cjohnstonI understand that.. Someone needs to write stuff when its needed... A developer is not responsible for it.. There were even atleast one task from UDS for an LC member to write something18:26
mhall119iirc, itnet7 volunteered for one, and I think czajkowski was going to do another18:26
cjohnstonthere is no reason that out of the 6 LC members, we can't get some assistance in writing stuff18:27
paultagcjohnston, yes, but part of the LC is not the LC. Assign us if it's actually LC. I don't care to write things, and I don't like waking up to see i've been subscribed to a bug that I won't help with18:28
paultagcjohnston, set up a docs team, and assign them, then have whoever join it18:28
cjohnstonIf you don't want to participate in writing documentation about LoCo Team stuff then maybe the LoCo Council position is better served by someone else18:29
paultagcjohnston, are you saying that I'm unfit for the council?18:29
paultagcjohnston, and are you saying that the LD drives the Council? Just to be clear?18:29
cjohnstonNo to either.. however, I do believe that part of being on the LC is writing the documentation for things involving loco teams... and I do believe that documentation would be better served being written by someone extremely familiar with everything involved with loco teams than a developer who happens to like the LD project. And at what point did I say that the LD drives the council.. The council should drive th18:31
cjohnstonwho wrote all this documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams  ? I'm willing to bet it wasnt just some random person.. and who maintains it? prolly the LC... should be the same with the LD18:32
paultagcjohnston, to your point, we document lots, but it's not our job to copy what we've written into the LD. I mean, really. We're not developers on the LD. The LD caters to LoCo Teams, which is the team that we maintain18:32
paultagcjohnston, yes, right. So we should not have to do your work for you18:32
paultagcjohnston, if the docs don't exist, we'll write it. If they do, copy them in18:32
paultagcjohnston, otherwise you're just making work for us that we don't need18:32
paultagcjohnston, surely you see this18:33
cjohnstonok.. well.. that specific bug, im pretty sure no documentation exists about it already.18:33
paultagcjohnston, so in this case, it's OK. TBH I did not even open it because we keep getting the same stuff, and I keep getting slowly irritated by it18:33
cjohnstonhowever, other bugs... things are layed out in a particular way for a reason.. and I would think that reason would best be chosen by the LC.. what I think is important isn't what you guys may think is important18:33
mhall119paultag: in the future, please come to us about things we do that irritate you before it becomes a sore point18:34
paultagmhall119, I'd rather not change a workflow just because it's something I don't care for personally18:34
paultagcjohnston, whatever. Do what you need to do, I have work to get back to some work. Just, please. Don't think of the LC as a doc team.18:35
paultagWe're not, I assure you18:35
mhall119we do try not to bother the LC over minor things, but since what we put on LD is often considered "official", we should be getting LC review of claims or suggestions we are making18:35
paultagmhall119, I'm happy to review finished product, but I hate it when we're subscribed to a bug that is not fix commited18:35
mhall119paultag: we tag loco-council on bugs that need LC review, bugs that need LC opinions, or bugs that need "official" LC input18:36
paultagmhall119, just a moment18:37
mhall119honestly, we don't want to pawn work off on you, because that slows down our development.  We only put bugs on hold against the LC when we feel that it would be improper for us to continue on our own18:37

paultagThat was tagged loco-council and we were subscribed. All of that is on the Wiki18:37
paultagMore over, it's not finished18:38
paultagso there's nothing to review, and it's literally a copy paste18:38
cjohnstonOk.. I choose to copy and paste this part of the text that you reference: Outstanding! Hop on over to #ubuntu-locoteams. It's where the LoCo enthusiasts like to hang out. No, you don't have to be a leader, we won't bite, we swear!18:38
cjohnstonIt's a great place to chat to other members from different teams, get ideas off them and learn how other teams interact. Why not join and idle and learn from one another.18:38
cjohnstonEncourage your team to join this channel, by adding it to your wiki information on IRC, or in your channel topic also.18:38
cjohnstonIs that the most fitting?18:38
paultagcjohnston, I'm pretty sure I wrote some of that18:38
paultagcjohnston, what about it?18:38
cjohnstonIs that the best text to fill that bug report?18:39
paultagcjohnston, no, are you saying you can't tell what's right to put in?18:39
paultagcjohnston, commit it in, mark it fix commited, then ask for a review18:39
paultagcjohnston, there's no reason we have to copy and paste for you18:39
cjohnstonMy view of what is best may be different than that of the LC is what im saying18:39
paultagit's not our project18:39
paultagcjohnston, whatever. Just do what you're going to do18:40
paultagcjohnston, I have some work, cheers.18:40
mhall119okay, we all just want to do our best to help the community and these projects, we're all on the same team here18:40
mhall119if we have differences of opinion on how and who should solve a given problem, let's try and find an optimal solution18:41
mhall119if we are tagging too many bugs as loco-council, then lets figure out why and what to do about it18:42
paultagmhall119, it's OK, don't let me change a working workflow18:42
paultagmhall119, I'm just noting my frustration18:42
mhall119paultag: if it's causing frustration, then maybe it's not working as best as it could, so lets see if something can be fixed to make it better18:43
paultagmhall119, it's really OK. I can set filters, it does not have to bug me18:43
mhall119I'd rather change our workflow than repeat the last 20 minutes again18:43
paultagmhall119, me too, tbh. I think that's the harshest I've been on anyone, and I really feel bad about that.18:44
mhall119as far as bug #644422 is concerned, I'm inclined to mark it wontfix, I don't see a need for additional text on the homepage18:44
ubot4`Launchpad bug 644422 in loco-directory "Additional info on main page (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/64442218:44
mhall119it was probably tagged for loco-council to get someone's opinion on whether we need more description about what a loco team is on the homepage of the directory18:45
mhall119if that was the case, it should have been noted in the comments18:45
mhall119which, again, is something we can change to avoid this coming up in the future18:45
paultagmhall119, you can use more then one tag. I have a tool that we use for the LC to automate stuff, and generate lists18:46
paultagmhall119, if you have a set of tags you want to use ( loco-council-opinion, loco-council-review, etc ) I can build it in to the tool18:46
mhall119paultag: do you have some existing tags for different LC needs?18:46
paultagmhall119, we use the ubuntu-locoteams project for our stuff, I am willing to add in code for the LD, if you'd like18:47
mhall119paultag: I don't understand what that means18:47
paultagmhall119, we have a tool, lintco18:47
paultagmhall119, it has code to generate stuff that we can use. Right now, we can pull up re-applications and stuff from it18:48
paultagmhall119, I can add in LD bugs that have some tags, if you set up a tag system18:48
paultagmhall119, into lintco18:48
paultagmhall119, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams/LoCoLint18:49
paultaghttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/LoCoLint18:49
mhall119paultag: okay, but I'm still not sure how we would use this18:50
paultagmhall119, you would not, you'd just tag bugs you'd like whatever on18:50
paultagmhall119, then we can look up bugs that need our review, or opinion or whatever18:50
mhall119oh, ok, this is something the LC would use?18:50
paultagmhall119, yes18:50
mhall119is this widely used by LC members?18:50
paultagmhall119, eventually, some of this will be sent out in a weekly report18:50
paultagmhall119, mostly me at this point, but it's going to be reporting18:50
mhall119aw, weekly?18:50
paultagmhall119, we have lots of stuff :)18:51
paultagmhall119, details, details. This tool is less then a month old18:51
paultagmhall119, but I would be willing to compile all the tagged stuff and say "We need your opinion on X" or "We need a review of Y"18:52
mhall119okay, I'd be willing to use 2 separate tags for -review and -advice18:52
paultagmhall119, I just don't like when we're forced to drive the bug18:52
paultagmhall119, or whatever, I'm just shooting the shit, I have no game plan18:52
mhall119anything more than that and I think they will be mis-used18:52
paultagmhall119, let's just sit on it. We'll work it out18:53
paultagmhall119, right now, I'm still a bit tweeked up and I don't think I'm the best to talk to right now18:53

cjohnstonmhall119: here is my concern with the new time change thing...21:21
cjohnstonit says start date and local time of the event21:22
cjohnstonif you have a venue, it works fine... if you dont have a venue, it defaults to utc, but still shows the "local time"21:22
cjohnstonif you add an event with the times 00:00 to 01:00 and no venue, it shows 00:00 to 01:00 utc.. if you then go add a venue that is -5, it now shows 00:00 to 01:00 est...21:23
cjohnstonseems wrong to me21:23
cjohnstonanyone else have thoughts on that?21:28
mhall119cjohnston: that was intentional21:30
mhall119so that people wouldn't have to go back and change the times for all their events when they set/change the timezone of their venue21:31
mhall119because they've been using the times as if they were local, even though they were actually UTC, this creates the least amount of apparent change21:31
cjohnstonok21:31
mhall119once a venue's timezone is set, the only realistic reason for changing it would be if it was set incorrectly21:32
mhall119and in that case, again we would want the apparent local time to stay the same21:32
cjohnstonHow about if there isn't a venue set remove the tz?21:33
cjohnstondisplay21:33
cjohnstonI could see how it would be confusing otherwise.. 21:34
cjohnstonsay that I am planning an event, but dont have a venue set right now.. you go look at it, and it displays 1500 utc...21:34
