| YoBoY | Bonjour | 06:37 |
| YoBoY | s*** forgot to write the december team report ¬_¬ | 06:37 |
| dholbach | good morning | 08:16 |
| Ronnie | hi all | 11:27 |
| popey | hello Ronnie | 11:28 |
| czajkowski | YoBoY: tis ok, these things happen | 11:29 |
| YoBoY | why nobody want to do that on my team without me asking for it ¬_¬ | 11:31 |
| czajkowski | YoBoY: why not get someone to create the template | 11:32 |
| czajkowski | mail the list | 11:32 |
| czajkowski | and get them to add content to ti | 11:32 |
| czajkowski | *it | 11:32 |
| YoBoY | we need to develop a tool to make it easier, but i'm missing time to work or lead that :]. First step, reorganizing our launchpad pages, it's in progress, next step, upgrade of all our web apps, they need it, some are broken since last year :] | 11:36 |
| nigelb | YoBoY: erm, your loco web apps? | 11:37 |
| YoBoY | yes | 11:37 |
| nigelb | YoBoY: website, forums, and anything more? | 11:40 |
| YoBoY | documentation, planet, wiki to plan the events, a redmine also, an some other small tools | 11:41 |
| nigelb | YoBoY: wow, nice :) | 11:49 |
| YoBoY | nigelb: it's hard to find people to take care of these web apps | 11:50 |
| nigelb | YoBoY: if it weren't for the language handicap, I would've been able to help | 11:52 |
| YoBoY | ^^ | 11:54 |
| YoBoY | thanks | 11:54 |
| HakanS | Hi all | 12:19 |
| mhall119 | morning | 12:44 |
| Ronnie | morning mhall119 | 12:46 |
| * nigelb waves to mhall119 | 12:49 | |
| Ronnie | is here someone available who wants to braintorm about different kind of uses for a google map on different ubuntu websites. I wrote a plugin which covers the basic stuff (showing a list of markers and adding/moving one marker), but i want to partly rewrite the script to make it even more jquery'ish. but therefore i like to know different use cases | 12:54 |
| head_victim | Ronnie: not sure if this is what you mean but I've been wanting a google map setup for loco team maps (eg inputting a suburb of where you are so you can represent where everyone is). | 12:55 |
| head_victim | Well, all teams really. | 12:56 |
| Ronnie | head_victim: what do you mean by 'suburb' ? | 12:56 |
| Ronnie | head_victim: in our community we have something like this http://kaart.ubuntu-nl.org/ | 12:58 |
| head_victim | Well instead of having to put your exact location just putting in your suburb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suburb) or your postcode (or zipcode in some places it's called) so you still get a representation but you can't stalk people. | 12:58 |
| Ronnie | so, instead of a marker, show highlighted area's | 12:58 |
| head_victim | Or the marker in the centre of the area | 12:59 |
| Ronnie | head_victim: http://ubuntuone.com/p/YLF/ (if you fill in the country, and/or city and/or adress - the marker moves the the center of that area) is that what you mean? | 13:00 |
| mhall119 | Ronnie: jump over to #edubuntu, I know they were wanting to show maps of school deployments | 13:00 |
| head_victim | I just know a lot of people would be a bit shy about adding their exact location. So yeah being able to fill that in but leaving out the address. | 13:01 |
| Ronnie | head_victim: is uses google geolocation to translate a "textual location" to a latitude and lingitude | 13:01 |
| mhall119 | head_victim: you can always take their exact lng/lat and shift if by a very small random amount | 13:02 |
| head_victim | Ah ok, the first one you linked seem to give a street address | 13:02 |
| Ronnie | head_victim: the markers on the map could be precise, but also a few blocks away if the user wants that. The user can decide how 'accurate' the marker should be | 13:03 |
| head_victim | Ah fair enough, sounds good | 13:03 |
| head_victim | I was just thinking a couple of weeks ago of trying to find a better way to represent https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Members | 13:04 |
| head_victim | And that google map type thing was exactly what I was thinking. | 13:04 |
| Ronnie | but as a trick you can change the marker icon itself to something that represents a half transparent circle to give an area instead of a precice location | 13:04 |
| Ronnie | ok, so a new feature could be: showLocation by inputting a list of {name:xxxx, country:xxx, city:xxx} and then point these on the map | 13:06 |
| Ronnie | but i actually dont know how to handle multiple of the same cities | 13:07 |
| Ronnie | i think the markers are then exactly on the same spot | 13:07 |
| head_victim | Ronnie: I actually know nothing about google maps other than it exists. Maybe a counter on the marker to indicate more than one in that location? | 13:08 |
| mhall119 | or just combine multiples names in the 'name' field | 13:08 |
| mhall119 | {name:'alice, bob, carl', country:'Fooistan', city:'Bartown'} | 13:09 |
| Ronnie | both are an option. I standard already use clusters when someone zooms out, to reduce CPU load. but combining names is also a good idea | 13:09 |
| Ronnie | mhall119: i think the script itself has to do that, to make it easier for the user of the API | 13:10 |
| head_victim | Yeah, or a combination of both, so you can see the number on the map and when you click it shows all in the box | 13:10 |
| Ronnie | head_victim: do you know if its possible to add a google map widget to the wiki? | 13:20 |
| head_victim | Ronnie: sorry mate, out of my league. I'd only be giving you stuff I googled | 13:21 |
| Ronnie | i dont actually see a good option to turn such wiki page into a map and keep them synced | 13:21 |
| Ronnie | head_victim: do you have some apps running on your own loco server? | 13:22 |
| head_victim | Ronnie: we just have a drupal website and the launchpad/wiki stuff | 13:22 |
| head_victim | To my knowledge* | 13:23 |
| Ronnie | head_victim: its because i think you need to 'host' your own map instance. ( a page where users can add themselves and a page where the map is shown) | 13:24 |
| head_victim | Ah ok, I'm learning about this as we're talking. I'm good for ideas and then spend hours on google seeing if they're possible. | 13:25 |
| Ronnie | its maybe also possible, to use some kind of standard map (hosted on a global ubuntu site) and only retrieve the data of the members from your local website. But there should be still a method for users to register in the map | 13:26 |
| head_victim | Yeah I'm starting to see flaws in my plan | 13:33 |
| Ronnie | head_victim: i changed the API already to make it possible to use addresses instead of lat/lng only https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-django-foundations/map#locations | 13:37 |
| head_victim | Ronnie: looks good but way over my head :) | 13:39 |
| head_victim | Thanks for letting me bounce the idea off you though I've got a bit more to think about now. | 13:39 |
| head_victim | I have to head off for a while, thanks mate | 13:40 |
| Ronnie | oke, cya soon | 13:40 |
| Ronnie | have a nice day | 13:40 |

| sense | How does the LoCo Directory determine what languages to show on a team's page? | 15:24 |
| dholbach | sense, you mean in the dropdown menu? | 15:26 |
| dholbach | ah no | 15:26 |
| sense | dholbach: No, the languages on a team overview. | 15:26 |
| dholbach | team admins/owners can set that information | 15:26 |
| czajkowski | sense: dropdown menus | 15:26 |
| czajkowski | the team selects them | 15:26 |
| sense | ah | 15:26 |
| sense | I see | 15:26 |
| dholbach | sense, for which team is the information wrong? | 15:27 |
| czajkowski | up to you to display which ever ones you want | 15:27 |
| sense | dholbach: It's our own, I was just wondering where it got the information from, since I can't get into the edit interface, because of that OpenID bug. | 15:27 |
| dholbach | ah, sorry about that | 15:27 |
| dholbach | maybe another admin/owner can change it, or ask the LC if it bothers you sufficiently :) | 15:28 |
| czajkowski | sense: surely ye have more than one admin who can change it? | 15:28 |
| sense | czajkowski: I don't find the language lists worth the trouble of trying to get hold of the other two admins. | 15:28 |
| czajkowski | sense: clearly you did when you came in here though :) | 15:29 |
| sense | czajkowski: It doesn't take a month to get a response on a question here. | 15:29 |
| czajkowski | sense: what languages do you want and I;ll change them | 15:29 |
| czajkowski | sense: on the condition you stop your blog re posting the same posts from UDS again and again :p | 15:30 |
| sense | czajkowski: I blame PlanetPlanet! | 15:30 |
| czajkowski | sense: I blame you! now what languages would you like me to edit :) | 15:30 |
| sense | czajkowski: Just adding Frisian would be fine. Not sure if Limburgian is in there as well, officially it is not a language, but Launchpad lists it. | 15:30 |
| michael_k | speaking of LoCo Directory is it possible to add multilingual info for events? | 15:31 |
| czajkowski | hmm now it will only list one language | 15:31 |
| sense | mmm | 15:31 |
| czajkowski | dholbach: how do I add multiple lanagages again ? | 15:31 |
| dholbach | czajkowski: select one, press Ctrl key and hold it and select more | 15:33 |
| czajkowski | dholbach: trying but it wont let me scroll up or down to add more | 15:34 |
| czajkowski | and I know I've done it in the past... | 15:34 |
| dholbach | release Ctrl-key while you scroll up and down? | 15:35 |
| mhall119 | sense: usually people will just put both translations in the event description field | 15:38 |
| sense | mhall119: That was michael_k :) | 15:38 |
| mhall119 | oh, sorry | 15:38 |
| michael_k | yeap! | 15:38 |
| mhall119 | catching up on the backlog | 15:38 |
| michael_k | nio prob | 15:38 |
| czajkowski | dholbach: nope :( wonder is it because I'm using my track pad | 15:39 |
| michael_k | I was just wondering. Though I hope that one day we'll be so succesful as to host international events | 15:39 |
| dholbach | no idea - it should be a standard multi-choice-box or whatever it's called | 15:40 |
| czajkowski | odd :( | 15:42 |
| sense | It's not a big deal, thanks for trying anyway. :) | 15:47 |
| nigelb | mhall119: Hey, I guess you were busy and missed the summit merge request. | 16:30 |
| nigelb | But if you could do it some time next week, that'd be great :) | 16:30 |
| mhall119 | man import-live-data takes a while | 18:45 |
| cjohnston | yes it does | 18:51 |
| mhall119 | hope it's done before my lunch hour is over | 18:52 |
| mhall119 | note to self, start the import *before* I'm ready to review branches | 18:53 |
| cjohnston | lol | 18:53 |
| * Ronnie is lucky with a fiber power inet conntection and a fast laptop ;) | 18:53 | |
| cjohnston | blah blah blah | 18:54 |
| mhall119 | cjohnston: are the timepickers working for you on add event form? | 19:50 |
| daker | mhall119, the timepicker wont work on Maverick | 19:54 |
| daker | the timepicker is incompatible with the Jquery version present on Maverick | 19:56 |
| === unimix_ is now known as unimix | ||
| mhall119 | ah, right | 20:06 |
| daker | mhall119, and i think we have another small problem, Ronnie has fixed the css for the datepicker to get it work on Maverick but on prod we are running Lucid, so the css will not work their | 20:08 |
| daker | there* | 20:09 |
| mhall119 | yeah, that would be a problem | 20:11 |
| === Mamarok_ is now known as Mamarok | ||
| mhall119 | daker: https://code.launchpad.net/~daker/loco-directory/ld-languages-menu/+merge/42760 what's going on with this one? | 20:50 |
| daker | i can't figure out what's the problem with it, and it wont change the language for some entries | 20:52 |
| mhall119 | daker: if you have time, can you review https://code.launchpad.net/~mhall119/loco-directory/fixes-639772/+merge/44311 | 21:03 |
| mhall119 | or cjohnston ^^ | 21:03 |
| daker | sure | 21:03 |
| mhall119 | thanks | 21:03 |
| mhall119 | Look! https://code.launchpad.net/loco-directory/+activereviews <-- A manageable list1 | 21:04 |
| daker | Wahahahahaha | 21:05 |
| daker | mhall119, just remember we need to fix the date picker css before we launch the new release and the timepicker will still work since we are running Lucid | 21:06 |
| daker | brb | 21:07 |
| mhall119 | right, I'll have to verify the URLs currently in production | 21:07 |
| mhall119 | okay, done | 21:14 |
| mhall119 | gah, dodgy internet connection | 21:31 |
| daker | LoL | 21:31 |
| mhall119 | did I miss anything important? | 21:32 |
| daker | mhall119, no | 21:46 |
| Ronnie | evening | 21:53 |
| Ronnie | i saw 3 merges today, great work | 21:53 |
| Ronnie | mhall119, daker: about the timepicker. there are different jQuery timepickers wich work great with the lucid AND maverick jQuery. maybe move to another one? | 21:55 |
| mhall119 | Ronnie: we can't do much in production, we'll have to make our development environments compatible with the old urls | 22:00 |
| mhall119 | I have a local copy of jquery-ui 1.7 | 22:00 |
