cjohnstonmhall119, Ronnie, dholbach, daker ... interesting bug.. bug 70526513:02
ubot4Launchpad bug 705265 in loco-directory "LoCo events page has wrong date, or needs timezone (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/70526513:02
Ronnieill have a look13:02
cjohnstonboils back down to the tz issue13:03
Ronniewhat standards are used now? for all loco's UTC or local time?13:04
cjohnstonon event pages they are displayed in the venue tz13:05
cjohnstoniirc everything else is utc13:05
mhall119cjohnston: we have the correct timezone for those events, from the venue, but it's not being used on the team detail page13:20
cjohnstonright13:20
cjohnstonI think it needs to be displayed in UTC and maybe make a note13:21
mhall119so we either need to convert them to localtime, or put (UTC) after them13:21
cjohnstonthats my vote13:21
mhall119what's the reason for using UTC rather than localtime?13:21
cjohnstonwhos local time13:21
cjohnstonthe venues local time?13:21
mhall119yeah13:21
mhall119we can always put (PST) after the datetime13:21
cjohnstonit would still need a note saying that it is in the venues local time13:22
cjohnstonif only a date is displayed, it would look silly imo to put spst13:22
cjohnstonpst13:22
mhall119hmmm, you're right13:22
mhall119well if it's only date, is there a reason to use UTC at all?13:23
mhall119I guess once meetings are in the list,those will all be UTC13:23
cjohnstonmeetings yes13:23
cjohnstonyour saying just display all event info in the venues tz?13:23
mhall119yeah13:24
cjohnstonthat could work possible13:24
cjohnstonpossibly13:24
cjohnstonhow will LD react to time changes13:24
mhall119what time changes?13:24
cjohnstonEST EDT13:25
mhall119that's factored in already13:25
mhall119pytz knows what the correct offset will be for the date13:25
jpdsDisplay both UTC and local?13:26
mhall119cjohnston: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-us-florida/events/history13:26
mhall119you will see both EDT and EST on the list13:26
cjohnstonmhall119: ... im talking about say arizona...13:26
cjohnstonparts use daylight, parts dont.. but there is only US/Arizona13:26
mhall119well they'd have to determine which timezone applies to that part13:27
mhall119I'd imagine they already have separate timezone names13:27
cjohnstonthis works: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/13:28
cjohnstonhow about Ubuntu Hour: Mountain View/Silicon Valley; rev. 1.4.7 on: Jan. 21, 2011 at XX:XX YYY13:28
mhall119jpds: we'd have to use a lot more space to display both13:28
cjohnstonooo.. I like that idea13:29
mhall119which idea? your idea?13:29
cjohnstonya13:29
jpdsmhall119: Ajax and hover out to show UTC; display local time by default.13:29
cjohnstoninstead of just on date on date at time13:29
jpdsover*13:29
mhall119that'll work, make sure timezonoe is included13:29
cjohnstonlemme see if i can make it happen13:29
mhall119jpds: I'm not sure there's any real need for UTC for loco events13:30
cjohnstoni could see that for meetings though13:31
cjohnstonbut a litttle different13:31
cjohnstondisplay utc13:31
cjohnstonand bring in that tz info from LP to hover over and display a users local time for the meeting13:31
cjohnstonwhat do you think about that mhall119 13:32
mhall119that would work13:38
cjohnstonbest i can tell bug 686268 is currently the only blocker13:39
ubot4Launchpad bug 686268 in loco-directory "Add the ability to add agenda items (affects: 1) (heat: 4)" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/68626813:39
mhall119I know :(13:39
mhall119I'll see what I can get done during my lunch break today13:39
cjohnston:-)13:40
cjohnstonimport takes forever14:00
cjohnstoni need to figure out how to have an always good working copy14:01
cjohnstonmhall119: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/608/detail/  do we want to display both the PST and the (-0800)? I guess it could make translating easier14:20
mhall119I'd say just PST part14:21
mhall119I'm not sure that's something that can be translated14:21
cjohnstontranslated meaning if I'm +2 and the event is -8 then I add 10 to the event14:23
cjohnstonbug 705265 is ready for review14:52

mhall119cjohnston: I don't think we need to do that, just show the event in local time or UTC15:23
mhall119for physical events, even UTC wouldn't be needed15:23
cjohnstonyou referring to the (-800)?15:27

Ronniei upgraded the google map script with a lot of new features: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-django-foundations/map17:48
mhall119\o/18:03
cjohnstonmhall119: if a team removes themselves from -locoteams and -locoteams-approved, what will happen to their LD? they wont show up as approved (atleast eventually).. will it still work?19:00
mhall119hmmm...20:04
mhall119I think the team will be deleted from LD, and the django.contrib.auth Group by the same name too20:04
mhall119no wait, they won't be20:05
mhall119because we still get duplicate teams if they rename20:05
mhall119so, they'll stay in LD20:05
mhall119has this issue come up?20:05
czajkowskisigh 20:10
czajkowskiI really hope teams dont go and start removing themvels 20:10
czajkowski*themselves20:10
mhall119launchpad needs a new team mode20:12
mhall119call it the Hotel California mode20:12
mhall119to go with moderated and restricted20:12
czajkowskiyeah tis unforanate that it effects more than loco teams 20:14
pleia2yeah, any teams which organized with a restricted leadership team too20:15
pleia2ubuntu women is no longer open :(20:15
czajkowskiyeah but its across the board all teams are ffected this way 20:16
czajkowskibut I dont want to se loco teams trying to find a plan B around it which means messing up the LD 20:16
czajkowski:(20:16
* pleia2 nods20:16
pleia2the LP folks need to stop doing things like this without engaging the community :) first polls, now this!20:17
czajkowskiYeah... trust me I've had this conversation lots in the last few hours 20:17
czajkowskiit's not ideal 20:17
czajkowskiand it's really annoying 20:17
czajkowskifwiw the loco council are trying to resolve the locoteam isue 20:21
pleia2:)20:22
mhall119wait, did I miss something?20:23
mhall119I noticed ubuntu-us-florida switched to a moderated team, was this something that happened to all LP teams?20:23
czajkowskiyes every single team..20:23
mhall119wow20:24
mhall119BTW, I suggested once already implementing polls in LD20:24
pleia2polls are back in LP and they're working on an export to civs option20:25
mhall119I heard that they were back, but they had no long-term future there20:25
pleia2I think they'll probably get rid of them again once the export to civs option arrives though, so having ld polls is probably not a bad idea in the future20:25
mhall119what is civs?20:28
pleia2the polling system used for community council elections (and ubuntu women, and irc council)20:29
pleia2Condorcet20:29
mhall119hmmm, more complicated that I was planning20:32
mhall119do you need condorcet polling? or just a single-vote style polling?20:33
pleia2it works well for elections, less so for "so, which coffee shop do we meet up with?"20:33
pleia2I guess it always works20:33
paultag+1 pleia2 20:36
paultagpleia2: it even has more then one "winner" algorithm20:36
paultagpretty cool20:36
paultagbut looks like junk20:37
* czajkowski prods paultag just cause he's around 20:41
deejoeoh look, it's paultag20:42
deejoeborda count ftw20:42
deejoearrow's theorem, to the extent I understand it at least, points out that pretty much no voting system is going to be perfect, anyway.20:43
deejoeborda count is so much easier to understand, imnsho, which is important to get buy-in20:44
paultaghey czajkowski 20:44
paultaghey deejoe 20:44
