cjohnstonmhall119: ping00:43
cjohnstonHow do we fix the problem of 'team meeting' and march irc meeting, and irc meeting.... it looks odd to me to have to look to the right to see who's meeting it is.. What do you think about { team.name } - { meeting.name } ?01:14
mhall119cjohnston: where?01:19
cjohnstonthe meeting tab01:19
cjohnstonit looks fine on a team page01:19
mhall119we can move the teams column to either the #1 or #2 position01:19
cjohnstonbut on the general list it looks bad imo01:19
mhall119instead of last01:19
cjohnstonwhich would you prefer and ill make the bug01:19
cjohnstonand do we want to move it on the event page for consistancy?01:19
mhall119I think #201:19
cjohnstonok01:20
mhall119and yeah, do the same on events01:20
cjohnstonokie01:21
cjohnstonive added a few new merge requests01:22

cjohnstonits showing fix committed and the last touch was 1/25 so im gussing its something you pushed straight to production01:25

czajkowskiYoBoY: see now why I find teams owning a team annnoying ;) I can edit my team no problem 07:07
YoBoYi'm not the only team having that issue, and by the way "owning" a team is such an illusion :D07:09
* YoBoY hugs czajkowski 07:10
czajkowskiowning a team is an expression.07:10
czajkowskiclearly doesnt translate well. 07:10
czajkowski:S07:10
YoBoYyes :)07:15
YoBoYthat's another issue07:15
YoBoYit's like the "free" in free softwares07:16
czajkowskinot really...07:17
czajkowskiowning is ownership. How teams are owned really depends on the team. It worked okish on LP 07:18
czajkowskibut I really find it annoying on the LD 07:18
czajkowskias when I go to contact a team I've to contact a team in order to do it, which defeats the purpose of a team contact 07:18
YoBoYhey to make your life easier, can we think of a new field in the team detail page, a required contact email ?07:18
czajkowskishould be just the team contact YoBoY 07:18
czajkowskiwhich is there! 07:19
czajkowskiotherwise poeple are adding in team contact email 07:19
YoBoYdon't remember adding the "team contact" email, just the "admins contact" witch is more suitable for all the type of questions07:24

Ronnieczajkowski: yes, very strange10:44
czajkowskias I said I can edit my team 10:45
czajkowskiand I wondered was a team issue 10:45

cjohnstonmhall119: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-fr still shows the team as the admin.. Did the sysadmins not run update or whatever to fix that? YoBoY is a team contact still though so he should have edit access from that.11:17
cjohnstonczajkowski: could you do me a favor, I have to go to work, but if Ronnie comes back, could you please paste ^^ comment to him.11:17
cjohnstonOff to work... o/11:17
czajkowskicjohnston: sure 11:17
YoBoYif huats was here, he should be able to test if the sub team owner can edit or not the detail page 11:22

Ronniecjohnston, mhall119 ping13:24
mhall119Ronnie: pong13:25
Ronniemhall119:  do you know when the prod server does run the lpupdate.py script13:25
mhall119not of the top of my head, no13:26
mhall119you can ask in #canonical-sysadmin13:26
Ronnieoke, the update.py schedules this: "run_job("lpupdate", datetime.timedelta(minutes=20))"13:26
mhall119so, every 20 minutes it would seem13:28
mhall119which means we have a problem doesn't it?13:28
mhall119dholbach: ^^^13:29
Ronnieill ask sysadmin if the update.py is executed, but yes if so, we have a version compability problem13:30
mhall119Ronnie: ask them for the modified time on the files in ./loco_directory/data/13:30
mhall119that'll tell you the last time each was run13:30
mhall119output of ls -lha ./loco_directory/data would do13:31
Ronniemhall119: do you mean lp_data13:31
Ronnieor does the prod use another dir?13:32
mhall119lp_data is what launchpadlib uses for cache13:38
mhall119'data' is where the update script keeps it's timestamped files13:38
Ronniei cant find any data directory in my local version13:40
dholbachmhall119, I don't know when the cronjob runs13:41
dholbachmhall119, best to ask the IS people13:41

Ronniemhall119, czajkowski: can you think of one USE CASE for the page http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ . Why would someone wants to know what event are all taking place in the whole world ?19:07
mhall119someone who wants to know "What's happening in the Ubuntu community?"19:07
mhall119it's a nice way to see global activity19:08

Ronniebay19:09
Ronniei see that page is growing exponentially the last few months19:11
Ronnieim thinking of a way to organize the data in  more usefull way. but therefore i first needed to know the use19:11
senseI do find it a bit irritating often that when you view an event or meeting, you are directed 'back' to the general overview, not the team overview you came from.19:13
Ronniesense, were working atm on the sub-navigation. Maybe you can give comments on that, or come with new ideas19:14
Ronniehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoDirectory/NavigationUsability#preview19:14
sensegood point about the external link prohibition19:15
Ronniehttp://ubuntuone.com/p/eF8/ and http://ubuntuone.com/p/eGI/ for page layout and subnav19:15
mhall119sense: yes, please give some feedback on the wiki spec19:15
mhall119the more input we get now, the better our solution will be19:15
senseI'm taking a look.19:15
mhall119thanks19:15
senseWhat is the 'Join this team' button for? What will it do?19:16
mhall119sense: it directs you to Launchpad's page for joining a team19:16
senseok19:16
Ronnieits only visible for teams your not a member of19:16
mhall119or if you're not logged in, it's visible on every team19:16
senseWhat if teams use a different structure? We don't admit people directly to our main LoCo Launchpad team, but use a subteam.19:16
Ronnieshould it be visible if a user is not logged in?19:17
Ronniesense, good point19:17
mhall119sense: um...19:17
mhall119we pull our membership from the main loco team in LP19:17
Ronniemany teams have that strucute19:17
mhall119if you're not putting members in there...we won't know about them19:17
Ronniemhall119: ^^ about the "Join" button19:17
mhall119I suppose we can provide an over-ride "Join URL" field in the team details19:18
Ronniethe join button then refers to a team which you can't / may not join19:18
senseBut won't referring people to a Launchapd page only confuse potential local community members? Maybe it would be more useful to show them a page with options to get involved.19:18
mhall119sense: oh, good idea, link to "Get involved with this Team", and from there link to the Launchpad page..19:19
senseyeah19:19
Ronnie+1 for that19:19
Ronniesense, can you make a bug for this19:19
mhall119would the "Get involved" page be in LD, or point to a wiki or team website or something?19:19
mhall119I'm not sure what LD would put on there that's not already on the team's page19:19
sensemhall119: Don't we want to make the wiki redundant? :)19:20
mhall119sense: no19:20
mhall119we just want to stop using it for discrete data19:20
senseok19:20
senseI would find an overview page on the LoCo Directory itself the prettiest solution: more consistency, guaranteed theming and integration with what else there is available.19:21
mhall119I think allowing teams to define their own "Get involved" link would be best, default to what we currently use if they don't19:21
mhall119sense: but what would we put on the page?19:21
senseThough maybe at first a link to an external page could suffice, to spare (wo)manpower.19:21
sensemhall119: points to where they can get in touch?19:21
senseMaybe links to the translation teams as well.19:21
sensePlaces to get and receive support.19:22
mhall119sense: we have those points on the team page already19:22
mhall119team wiki, irc channel, mailing list, website19:22
sensebut those icons aren't very clear19:22
mhall119I think that's already on Ronnie's list to clear up19:22
senseThey're just icons, maybe they could be accompanied by some text?19:22
senseah :)19:22
Ronnie:D19:22
mhall119since every team has a different process and areas for getting involved, I think we'll need to link to an external page19:23
mhall119at least until we integrate a wiki in LD ;)19:23
senseThat could be a good solution for now indeed. If the need arises, an integrated solution could always be implemented later on.19:23
senseI like the meetings and events overview in the mock-up, though I would be careful with using too distracting icons there.19:24
senseThe UI changes proposed at the wiki page look like good solutions to me.19:25
senseI would only use icons for linking when it deserves/needs attention, otherwise text.19:25
senseI would change the wording from 'Create a Team' to 'Start a Community', or something.19:26
senseGenerally, less team-focussed, more community-focussed. LoCo's are Local Communities, not teams.19:27
Ronniesense, the problem is, "text" cannot be placed next to titles, while icons can. thats why i chose for icons. i cant see a way to make "ical" and "rss" texts19:27
senseRonnie: It makes sense to use icons there. But maybe you could use monochromatic icons of equal height, or something like that. They seem to stand out a lot now.19:28
Ronniethe monographic icons will be there (hopefully soon). I hope doctormo wants to create some19:29
cjohnstonI still think my teams should go on the top nav19:29
senseAren't most people member of just one community?19:30
senseI'm active in Ubuntu NL, but not in any other LoCo, for example.19:30
Ronniecjohnston: it is when you logged in (in the new mockup) http://ubuntuone.com/p/eGI/19:30
mhall119sense: there are a significant number of people in 2 or more19:31
sensemhall119: What kind of LoCo communities should I think of? People in city and state LoCos? Or people living abroad?19:31
Ronniesense, take JanC as example19:32
mhall119sense: people who moved, but are still involved with their old loco team19:32
sensemm19:33
senseBut two teams still isn't a lot.19:33
mhall119no19:33
mhall119there's probably no more than a handful of people in more that 219:33
mhall119for now...19:33
Ronnieeven when im in a single team, i like the "My Teams" page more than the team overview page. I dont need to know in what country we live, what languages we speak, and who are the admins. Also i not very interested in the photo's (i see them on other team channels). So the "My Teams" page is even perfect for "one teamers" i guess19:39
senseYou could something that shows you an overview the the activities of the teams your in, and that dynamically scales.20:38
Ronniesense, what do you mean by "dynamically scales"20:44
senseRonnie: When you're in one team, it could just show all activities of that one team, but when you're in more, it could mix content.20:44
Ronniei think that type is only usefull when someone in involved in 3 or more teams20:48
Ronnieand the page will be too much table like20:48
Ronniethe problem with tables it to focus on the right info, because all info is (almost) equal. In my opinion tables are (usually) non-userfriendly20:52
Ronnieexcept if you have a lot of data20:53
