kim0pleia2: hey :) I didn't know about that page .. is that some aggregator ?00:26
kim0pleia2: this youtube is an iframe (which seems to be the new preferred way) it seems it got stripped somehow00:26
pleia2I don't know what it is :) but it shows up in google searches pretty highly00:27
kim0pleia2: ok I just switched back to normal youtube embed .. guess it should show in a few mins .. Thanks for the heads up :)00:33
pleia2sure thing00:33
nhandlerkim0: Looking through the results of a google search for 'site:http://www.ubuntu.com/content/', it looks like that is a mirror of Canonical Voices (or at least shows the same posts)00:39
doctormogreg-g: you might have to explain 1) to me some more.02:34
greg-gahh, k... lemme read again what I said :)02:39
greg-gdoctormo: the header of the second section where it explains CC licenses02:39
greg-gA) The Commons, 2) The Creative Commons, 3) Free and Open Source02:40
greg-gchange 2) to "Free Culture"02:40
greg-gis my suggestion02:40
doctormogreg-g: I think I understand what your saying, having Creative Commons be a company is really complicating the ability to spread the ideas.02:42
greg-gwell, Free Culture is a pretty well recognized and agreed upon phrase to refer to what you're tlaking about, really.02:43
greg-gand, as I said, is more closely related, semanticly, with Free/Open Source Software02:44
greg-gsemantically* (ignore my ignorance on spelling right now, head cold)02:44
doctormogreg-g: Now I have to come up with a new title for the poster02:44
greg-gFree Culture doesn't work?02:44
greg-gwhy's that?02:45
doctormogreg-g: Free Culture can not both include Free and Open Source and exclude it.02:46
doctormoAs a title of the whole thing I had it include FOSS and basic Commons. Now I have to think again.02:46
greg-goh, I see02:46
greg-ghmmm02:47
greg-gdoctormo: 2 ideas. 1) how about just the subtitle as the title? So, the title being "Sharing Ideas Freely"02:53
greg-gor 2) Leaving the "The Creative Commons" (but changing that first sentence of that section)02:53
greg-g(and keeping the current Free Culture title)02:54
doctormogreg-g: Would I get hunted down by mad dogs for using the trademark like that?02:57
doctormogreg-g: got any more examples of solid creative commons using projects?03:00
greg-gdoctormo: I think you'll be fine :)03:01
greg-gand, lets see. You want music/movies?03:01
nigelbMorning.03:01
greg-gNine Inch Nails, of course. Or Blender Foundation with it's movies03:01
greg-gflickr03:02
doctormoI'm not sure how solid Blender is with it's CC, flickr is about as CC as deviantArt I thought.03:03
doctormoI wonder if there are any educational projects, making course materials etc03:03
greg-goh, MIT OCW03:03
greg-gProbably expand OCW to OpenCourseWare for clearness sake03:04
JanC“Dive Into Python 3” is a CC-BY-SA book03:05
greg-ggood one, a lot of O'reilly books are now, right?03:05
greg-galso, PLoS (Public Library of Science, a publisher of Open Access and CC-licensed scientific journals)03:06
greg-g(CC:BY, actually, which is awesome)03:07
nigelbOCW is awesome.03:08
greg-ggotta put in a plug for a project I worked/work on: Open.Michigan, open.umich.edu  Sorry, couldn't help it :)03:10
doctormoOK I've updated the creative commons part, the title font and the foss text. Could you review rev 12 for me?03:13
doctormohttp://imagebin.org/13140603:13
greg-gdoctormo: capitalize the W in OpenCourseWare :)03:19
greg-gdoctormo: also, that first sentence isn't reading clearly to me03:19
doctormowhich first?03:19
greg-gthe first of the CC section, sorry :)03:20
doctormoIt's almost word for word the paragraph you gave me.03:21
greg-galmost03:21
greg-gthere's an extra which03:21
greg-gand the creators don't give the license to anyone03:21
doctormoThe only problem with your replacement, was that it doesn't flow well in the box.03:22
greg-gah, well, if you stay with your wording, change the first which to "that"03:23
doctormothat's what I get for pasting without taking out the crlfs03:23
greg-g:)03:24
doctormook we have an exact match03:24
doctormogreg-g: Now the ultimate test, if I printed one out and sent it to you, would you have the courage to post it up in your library?03:25
greg-gdefinitely03:25
doctormoThe aim here was to produce something that could say a lot, in a short space, without being boring.03:26
greg-gI think you did a good job, doctormo03:27
nigelbjcastro: around?04:55

* czajkowski reminds popey about other stuff 16:59
popeyI'm in this evening, feel free :)16:59
* czajkowski sends popey to the bold corner 16:59
JFothe <b></b> corner17:01
* JFo doesn't remember his html... 17:02
JFonot positive that is bold :-)17:02
JFo<-not in possesion of clue today17:02
czajkowskiJFo: careful or you'll follow him mister17:03
* czajkowski is dealing with twats in hotels today who don't seem to want the work 17:03
nigelbJFo: that is bold or <strong></strong> ;)17:05
JFomeh ;-)17:05
JFohtml is such an outdated language :-P17:05
nigelbJFo: html5 rocks17:06
JFosez you ;)17:07
JanC<b/> != <strong/>17:07
nigelbJanC: no.  But it does give the same effect most of the time17:07
JFoplease continue to read my statements with the normal level of sarcasm from me17:07
nigelbJFo: Of course17:08
JFo:-D17:08
nigelbJFo: btw, did I ask you about the kernel session for uud?17:08
JanCdepends on the designer's preferences really17:08
JanCit could be ALLCAPS or blinking red on yellow or whatever  ;)17:09
nigelbyeah,but default is generally bold17:09
czajkowskinigelb: you did you've asked most in here most days now17:10
nigelbczajkowski: I've spoken to far too many people in the past few days.17:11
nigelbczajkowski: some agree, some busy.17:11
czajkowskinigelb: see now why I said, use email rather than irc :) better way to track it17:11
nigelbczajkowski: now that makes sense :)17:11
czajkowskiindeed, every day every channel I have it17:11
czajkowskifrom you17:11
nigelboh no.17:12
nigelbczajkowski: Also, we emailed everyone.17:12
nigelbczajkowski: No one responded.  So I had to do a little chat up and convince people.17:12
nigelbThat's what it boils down to *every* time.17:13
czajkowskimayeb there is little interest..17:23
czajkowskior the same people are having to do it17:23
sensegood evening18:10
jcastrohiya sense18:10
jcastrohow's things?18:10
sensehi jcastro18:10
sensejcastro: Busy, I'm already preparing for my next test week, and since I got an offer from Cambridge, I need to work really hard to pass the conditions.18:11
jcastrothat's really great dude18:11
jcastrowill you be moving if you pass?18:11
senseI'm exited about it. :)18:11
senseI will be moving to Cambridge if I pass, otherwise probably Amsterdam, Python was invented there. ;)18:11
sensejcastro: How're you doing?18:11
Pendulumsense: good luck :)18:12
jcastrogood good18:12
jcastrosense: got evan from chromium talking to DBO about some unity integration, getting the window widgets and whatnot sorted18:13
sensePendulum: thx18:13
jcastroI kind of stumbled into it so if they sort it it will make my day18:13
sensejcastro: That's good news!18:13
senseEverything's becoming more and more integrated now.18:13
jcastrosense: I dunno if you saw but someone from the SWT team was in #ayatana asking about it for Eclipse18:13
jcastrothat would be another nice win as well.18:13
senseyeah, if we could that in, that would be awesome18:14
jcastroand cando's got quicklists almost ready for the trash can18:14
jcastrowhich for some reason I've really missed18:15
senseYeah, I heard about that. People are doing nice work on the Unity bitesize bugs.18:15
jcastrohttp://i.imgur.com/VWydT.jpg21:20
sensejono: Are you aware of the Bug Squad's mentorship efforts? We've been trying for a while now to set up a working mentor system, but it has been very hard. At the last UDS we even moved away from 1-1 relations, because it had proven to be not sustainable. We have a lack of active and motived mentors, and a lack of students that stay active and motivated.21:21
sensejcastro:  Lol. That is so cruel. :D21:21
senseBut a wise parenting effort!21:21
sensejono: Mentoring takes a lot of time and energy, and a lot of people would rather contribute a collected one our per week of helping people on IRC, than having to spend a lot of time mentoring students who might leave the project shortly anyway. It reminds me of what you said about contributing two hours per week consistently, or only two full days without sleep in a row.21:23
senseCouncils and such help us to make up for that by consolidating all those separate small contributions into one collective pool.21:25
jonosense, I agree, and as I said in the post, I know mentoring is tough, but I do think we could build more of an environment around mentoring21:28
senseMaybe make people more aware they are part of a P2P mentoring process. :)21:28
senseBecause that is basically what we are: a P2P community, everyone contributing his or her little or big part.21:29
senseAlthough you are definitely right on the importance of 1-to-1 relations. By making it more personal, people will be more inclined to stay.21:29
pleia2the beginners team has had a sucessful mentoring program for a long time too, and one of this cycle's blueprints for ubuntu women is working with BT and other teams' mentoring programs to expand our own21:31
czajkowskiwhooo locoteams have started to receive their banners and gifts from canonical :D21:32
senseczajkowski: yeah, they're wonderful, but a bit smelly.21:32
sense:)21:32
czajkowskipleia2: my issues wth the BT and mentors is some of the mentors that are there are not really suitable, one person has been refused membership at least 3 times now. He doesnt actually do anything.. or know a lot tbh21:32
czajkowskisense: just glad folks can use them now.21:32
pleia2czajkowski: yes, it's one of the many challenges of a mentoring program21:33
czajkowskipleia2: nods21:33
senseczajkowski: Now we can replace our old Ubuntu banner and other brown stuff.21:33
czajkowskisense: how did ye gets yers if yer unapproved?21:33
czajkowskihmmm21:33
senseczajkowski: Was there a decision?21:34
senseczajkowski: I didn't hear anything yet.21:34
czajkowskiwell you said you have them21:35
czajkowskiso I'm wondering21:35
czajkowskion the bug 5/6 of us have voted21:35
ubot2czajkowski: Bug 5 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/5 is private21:35
senseczajkowski: When will we/I get a response?21:36
senseWas I supposed to be subscribed to that bug report or not? Because I think I am not.21:36
czajkowskiit's a private bug for the LC let me go poke folks21:36
JanCnot sure why it's private...?21:36
JanCas voting during a meeting is public too...21:37
sensetrue21:37
czajkowskiJanC: as LC bugs we've created them so we can work on things easier than on mail and track them21:38
czajkowskiso we create a bug and then work off that21:38
senseJanC: Do you have the tablecloth and banner for FOSDEM?21:41
JanCI got 2 packages from UPS today, yes  ☺21:42
sensegood21:43
JanCactually, they pushed it through the mail slot in my front door--fortunately it wasn't something that could get hurt easily...   :P21:45
senseawww21:45
jcastrojono: I'm closing up shop soon, I'll see you on Sunday!21:46
jonojcastro, see you on Sunday, pal!21:46
jonojcastro, quick q21:46
jcastrosure sure21:46
jonodo you know if you can write Banshee extensions in Python?21:47
jcastroI don't think so, I think they have this python-like thing called Boo21:47
jonowrite21:47
* jcastro investigates21:47
JanCusing IronPython should work too I guess?21:50
jonoI imagine so21:50
jcastroman, not alot of info on this21:55
jcastrojono: what kind of extension are you interested in btw?21:55
jcastrothey have an entire quickly-like workflow for extensions, but it's for c#21:56
nigelbduanedesign: around?21:57
jonojcastro, I basically want to make a Severed Fifth extension21:57
* jcastro nods21:58
jonosee http://www.severedfifth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14121:58
jonoI think it could be awesome if inside Banshee21:58
jcastroyeah, integrated like the store is, but for an artist, like those dedicated apps they have on phones21:59
jcastroI'll ask around21:59
jonojcastro, exactly22:00
JanCI hope not every band will make a Banshee-extension...   ;)22:00
jcastroJanC: only the good ones22:00
jonoJanC, I think it is unlikely22:00
jonoand I think it would be cool to have it shippable on Ubuntu22:00
jcastroit would be cool if you could just go to the website, click on a link, and have an extension22:00
czajkowskiheh22:00
jcastrowith the albums right there available to you22:00
jonoI am either going to do a Banshee app or dedicated Quickly app22:00
jonojcastro, totally22:01
jonothe cool thing is that I could ship the music with the app :-)22:01
jcastroand then, drag and drop it to your friend in empathy and have it load right into their banshee22:01
jcastrothat is totally doable22:01
jcastro"jorge would like to share Severed Fifth with you"22:01
JanCwell, the U1MS has a way to link to songs, even if it didn't work last time I checked...  ;)22:02
jonoI might hack something and propose it for inclusion in the software center22:03
jonoI got much of the way through a Shot Of Jaq app22:04
jonoI think I might use that code22:04
senseBand-specific plugins are things that would be perfect for the Software Center, to populate it with things people might find interesting.22:04
sensegood appstore material22:04
jcastrojono: this would be good brainstorm material for sunday, let me think about it22:04
jonosense, exactly22:04
jonojcastro, sure22:04
jonoI might hack on something on the plane22:04
JanCthe problem is, do we want people to accumulate 50 band-plugins and then write blogs that Banshee takes 15 minutes to start?  ;)22:05
jcastrojono: on a related note22:05
jcastroyou remember that network sync thing you guys did for your one app?22:05
jcastroI forgot what it did, something juvenille. :p22:05
jonoyeah22:05
jonololocopter22:05
jcastroyeah22:05
jcastroso, my extension idea is ... that + a shared queue over avahi = sprint jukebox22:06
jcastroeveryone just throws the music they want in the queue, and you have like a shared experience22:06
jonosounds cool :-)22:07
jcastroI need to get this lottery thing out of the way so I can pay someone to make all these ideas22:07
AlanBella shared music experience with jono . . . what could possibly go wrong?22:08
AlanBell:)22:09
jcastroAlanBell: well, you'd have to hardcode in blacklisting his music, but there's plenty of precendence for that22:09
jonoAlanBell, haha22:12
jcastrolibbacon - death metal blacklister, for those applications with impeccable musical taste22:15
czajkowskiI am convienced U1 music store objects to my music taste I have issues iwth downloads lately, but the folks over in ubuntuone usually resolve it for me.22:16
JanCI am waiting for them to fix several issues so that I can actually use it...  ;)22:17
sensegood night22:26
doctormoJanC: are these issues with natty?22:36
JanCthe main issue I reported was that Mastercard payments are not possible even if they are listed, so more of a server-side issue22:40
JanCand if I understood correctly, it's actually a 7digital-issue22:41
doctormojcastro: what's the reputation cap on ask?23:42
