duanedesignmorning all10:12
popeymorning10:16
popeyhey duanedesign have you done any screencasts on unity yet?10:16
nigelbhey dpm,kim0 :)10:24
nigelband hola popey and duanedesign10:24
kim0hey10:24
popeyduanedesign: see bug 76357910:25
ubot2Launchpad bug 763579 in unity "Panel drop shadow causes issues for screencasting apps" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/76357910:25
popeythe way the drop shadow is done seems a bit odd10:25
AlanBellit would be better not to have it imho10:29
AlanBelllooks silly on the expo zoom out10:29
popeyit would be better not to have the shadow round windows too10:29
AlanBellI like that10:29
popeysnap two windows to either side of the screen10:29
popeythe shadow from one goes over the other10:29
popeyit looks stupid10:29
AlanBellyeah, interesting effect10:29
AlanBellshows which one has focus10:30
AlanBelland looks a bit stupid10:30
nigelbHEH10:31
JanCpopey: that's more an issue of how multiple desktops are implemented IMO10:39
popeyeh?10:39
popeyits nothing to do with multiple desktops10:39
AlanBellindeed10:39
JanCoh, real screens?10:39
popeythat bug is related to running recordmydesktop on a machine with one active screen/desktop10:40
=== dpm_ is now known as dpm
AlanBellthe shadow problem is because the top bar is drawn with nux, but the shadow of the top bar is not drawn with nux10:40
popeythe shadow seems to be just a png overlaid on top afterwards10:41
popeywhich seems very odd10:41
JanCI meant the shadow on windows that are snapped to the border10:41
popeyoh10:41
popeystill not a multi-screen issue :)10:42
popeyone screen, two windows snapped to left and right10:42
popeythe shadow from the active window bleeds over the top of the other windows10:42
popeywhich i think is wrong when you have deliberately snapped windows like that10:42
JanCit also draws shadows on the next virtual screen it seems, that's what I meant ;)10:43
popeyeww10:43
popeynice10:43
AlanBellfail!10:43
popeyaren't drop shadows a bit web 2.010:44
popeyi.e. old10:44
AlanBella bit OS X10:44
popeydoes OSX do them?10:44
popeynever noticed10:44
AlanBellit does huge shadows10:44
JanCdrop shadows are nice to set things apart10:44
* popey looks for screenshots of this10:45
AlanBell40px for the active window in osX apparently10:46
* AlanBell wonders what it could possibly be set to in unity . . .10:46
popeyA miiiiilllion pixels10:48
* AlanBell crashes compiz10:49
AlanBellI wonder if it will be possible to use ccsm to actually change anything without a reboot by release time10:51
JanCreboot?10:52
AlanBellwell a hard compiz crash10:52
JanCah, I thought a real reboot... ☺10:52
JanCAlanBell: at least when it crashes all the leaked memory is gone too  ;)10:53
AlanBellwell to all intents and purposes, if compiz crashes it is reboot time10:53
jussishadows are so last year :P10:53
AlanBellyes I can go to a console or ssh in, change display settings and restart it and log in again, or just reboot10:54
JanCI'm almost permanently logged in on tty1 on natty  ;)10:55
JanCalthough, I haven't needed it for some time now10:55
JanCalso, why change display settings?10:56
AlanBellbecause i want to simulate deuteranopia for example10:57
PendulumAlanBell: you can use the lay-man's terms. even I had to look that one up :P10:58
AlanBellcolour filters10:58
JanCand why log in again?10:58
AlanBellso I want to see what my application looks like to colour blind people for example10:58
popeyas bad as it does for people without colour blindness I guess :D10:58
AlanBelltrue, compiz restarts don't log you out10:58
JanCshouldn't that just work when you (re)start compiz/unity?10:59
AlanBellcheeky popey10:59
AlanBellnot the point, using ccsm shouldn't be a recipe for instacrash10:59
JanCbut I agree that needing a console is not exactly a solution for most people  :-(10:59
JanCat least the alt+tab crashes seem to be gone11:01
duanedesignpopey: hello11:33
duanedesignpopey: i was about to move a couple that jorge did to the screencast site.11:34
popeyduanedesign: they flicker horribly11:38
duanedesignhmm11:40
popeyin the last week I've tried gtk-recordmydesktop, recordmydesktop, and ffmpeg, they all result in corrupt, rubbish looking video11:43
popeyi even went so far as to buy a hardware capture device, a VGA2USB LR, which can capture directly from the VGA port to another computer11:43
popeythis kinda works11:43
duanedesignpopey: have you tried my script :)11:43
popeybut I need to tune compiz to get the best out of it11:43
popeygimmie a link?11:44
duanedesignwell, it uses ffmpeg so....11:44
popeyhere's my ffmpeg line....11:44
duanedesignIt is what I hazve to use because recordmydesktop was not making very nice screencasts11:44
popeyffmpeg -f alsa -r 16000 -i hw:1,0 -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1280x720 -i :0.0 -vcodec huffyuv -sameq ~/Videos/`date +%y%m%d%H%M%S`-screencast.avi11:44
popeyi ssh in from another machine, and do "export DISPLAY=:0.0" then run that script11:45
popeyso you dont see any script running on the machine you're recording11:45
duanedesignpopey: http://okiebuntu.homelinux.com/blog/?p=17511:45
popeyI left it running for about an hour11:45
popeywhilst I watched a youtube video11:45
duanedesignpopey: that is a neat trick. I always just edit out the script showing at the end11:46
duanedesigni have it delay at the beginning long enough for me to switch workspaces11:46
popeyyeah, i dont like editing :)11:46
popeyswitching workspaces wont help you in unity11:47
popeyyou'll still have a terminal open on the launcher11:47
popeyyour script looks similar to my one liner but you record to mpeg2 and not huffyuv11:47
popeyi cant see much difference11:47
popeyanyway the issue is more the overhead compiz places on the machine IMO11:48
* duanedesign nods11:48
duanedesigni was getting bad screen 'tearing' and the audio would not line up11:49
popeywill certainly try your script tonight11:52
popeythanks11:52
popeymy goal is to make short videos that require no editing at all11:54
popey(I hate editing, and want to just upload a video when its recorded)11:54
duanedesignpopey: let me know what you think, or if you make any changes. Their is a lot that is commented out. Some stuff other people wanted in the script.12:00
duanedesignmost the stuff commented out is converting to different formats12:00
popeyi just called my wife to switch on my desktop and ran the script remotely via ssh :D12:02
duanedesign:)12:08
dholbachpopey, Technoviking, is https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-membership-boards being used?12:18
dholbachcan we tick that off our list?12:18
dholbachit's a public list12:18
dholbachnevermind, keeping it on the TODO12:22
popeydholbach: nope12:33
nhandlerdholbach: I'd check if everyone is actually subscribed to it. I only found out about it when it got mentioned in the last discussion we had12:42
popeyduanedesign: tip, add the url to your blog post to your screencast script :)12:46
popeyduanedesign: minor patch for you....12:55
popeybaseName="`date +%Y%m%d`-`date +%H%M%S`-screencast" # default base filename for capture12:55
popeyso you dont accidentially overwrite anything :)12:55

kim0Daviey: hey, I'm mirroring your server bugs post to a blog entry, sounds good ?13:06
duanedesignpopey: thank you!13:07
Davieykim0, feel free :)  thanks13:11
akgranerduanedesign, howdy - so I posted a couple short screen casts to FB...I'm getting there :-)  but they aren't nearly as good as popey's or relaxed as much as jcastro's, but I am having fun..13:13
popeyakgraner: at least your machine can record them! :D13:14
popeyakgraner: I'm gonna try duanedesign's script tonight13:14
akgranerpopey, :-)13:14
akgraneroh yeah he does have a handy dandy script...maybe I should try that as well13:15
akgranerpopey, let's hope my new machine will be as screencast friendly13:22
akgranermy dell has finally lost it's mind and just rebots on my 5 times a day13:22
akgraner(I think it's still overheating but the little gizmo I used to use doesn't work or has been deprecated or something in natty..and I haven't installed anything new yet so I can see...:-/13:23
akgraners/rebots/reboots even13:24

nigelbI now need to zoom out of terminal twice to see all my tabs on irc13:33

popeyduanedesign: http://popey.com/~alan/screencasts/20110418-160020-screencast.avi16:14
popeyits not your script, nothing seems to be able to video unity properly16:14
popeybe interested to know how akgraner does it16:15
popey(chances are I suspect akgraner doesn't have an nvidia card)16:15
AlanBellrun it in virtualbox, video from the outside16:16
AlanBellI was going to suggest the compiz video recording plugin, but that won't see unity16:17
popeyugh@vbox16:17
popeyi was trying to get away from that16:18
popeywhat's the best way to run unity in vbox these days?16:19
AlanBellyeah, sorry, only suggestion I can think of that will actually work16:19
jcastroI read something about needing beta guest extensions or something like that16:19
popeyhappy to try it16:19
AlanBellinstall natty, then in natty install virtualbox-ose-guest-x1116:20
popeyall 3d works?16:20
AlanBelldo not screw about with any other kind of guest additions on the host16:20
AlanBellyes, all 3d works16:20
AlanBellall you have to do is install that package inside the guest16:21
popeywhat iso would you install from?16:21
AlanBelldesktop amd6416:21
popeyand which vbox?16:21
popeyyeah, beta 1, 2, daily?16:21
AlanBelldaily, but any would work16:22
popeyand you use vbox from the repo?16:22
popeyi have vbox 4 from 3rd party repo here16:22
AlanBellI am using the 3rd party one16:22
AlanBellit doesn't matter that it isn't ose16:22
AlanBellit is still the same graphics driver that needs loading in the guest16:23
popeythanks16:23
AlanBelland the "install guest additions" thing in the virtualbox user interface won't have the drivers for natty16:23
popeytick the box for 'enable 3d acceleration' ?16:24
popeyfor the vm16:24
AlanBellbut as they are packaged up and in the natty repos the guest can get to them16:24
AlanBellyeah tick that16:24
popeyany other twiddles?16:24
AlanBellnope16:24
popeygave it 4GB RAM and 128MB video ram16:24
AlanBellplenty16:24
* popey wonders if the rdp server might be an optoion16:24
popeyor an option16:24
AlanBellthat should work16:25
popeywill play with that later16:25
AlanBellunless it is broken for 3d in general16:25
AlanBellbut it should see unity as well as it would see any 3d guest operating system16:25
* popey hugs Virgin cable for 2.3MB/s download during the day16:26
AlanBellwould be nice if Ubuntu detected it was running in virtualbox and grabbed that package on installation16:28
popeyuhm16:28
popeyVERR_VMX_MSR_LOCKED_OR_DISABLED16:28
popeythats nice16:28
AlanBelloh, you don't have vmx?16:29
popeyi jolly well do16:29
popeytoo much ram16:30
popeywound that down a bit and its okay16:30
popeyuh16:31
popeynow its complaining that i dont have an x86-64 cpu16:31
AlanBelldid you select ubuntu (64 bit)16:32
AlanBellas the os type16:32
popeyah, no16:32
popeydidnt spot that, thanks16:32
popeyuh16:33
popeynow its moaning that I dont have vmx16:33
popeyyet I do16:33
popey"your vt-x/amd-v hardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot"16:34
popeynothing in my bios to set/unset that16:37
akgranerpopey, nope I have an intel card...16:38
mhall119akgraner: are you guys going through JFK to Budapest?16:38
popeyAlanBell: you running 2.6.38 generic?16:39
AlanBell2.6.35-28-generic16:39
AlanBellon the host16:39
AlanBell32 bit as well16:39
AlanBellLinux maverick 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 19:00:26 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux16:40
popeyi had to rmmod the kvm and kvm_intel modules16:40
popeybut I have never had vbox complain about not being able to set vmx before on this box16:40
AlanBellah16:40
popeyand kvm works16:40
popeystill no worky16:40
AlanBelland we haven't got to the Natty bit yet :-/16:42
popeymy box is on natty16:42
popeyhost that is16:42
AlanBelloh, right16:42
popeyits times like this I want to format all my disks and go and live in the woods16:42
* popey reboots into maverick to see if that helps16:42
AlanBellthis should "just work"16:42
popeyok, i can 'continue' in vbox, but it thinks i have no vmx16:43
popeygah16:43
popeyand back to the 'its not 64-bit' issue16:43
AlanBellor, use 32bit in the guest16:44
popeyyeah16:45
popeysomtimes this tinkering is fun, sometimes it just feels like a massive waste of time16:45
popeyoh jeez16:46
popeybooting into maverick I get nothing on the screen16:46
popeyneed an xorg.conf becuase the nvidia driver doesnt like my displays16:46
AlanBellyou are in a maze of twisty passages, there are exits to the north and east16:47
popey\o/ copied xorg.conf from natty partition16:48
popeygolly, this is nice and fast16:48
popey</troll>16:48
AlanBellyou have just been eaten by a gru16:48
popeywow, i had forgotten how fast 10.10 is :(16:49
popeyoh, my bad, this is 10.04 :)16:52
popeyInterestingly that what i typed 'natty' as the description of the VM, Vbox 'knew' this was Ubuntu :)16:54
popeybah16:55
popeystill says its not capable of 64-boit16:56

* popey gets the 32-bit iso17:00
popeymight be better running this in 10.04 anyway, less overhead from unity/compiz/nu17:00
AlanBellyup17:01
* popey switches on ffm and revels in the fact that it actually still works in 10.0417:04
AlanBellso focus follows mouse means that you don't have to click in windows to give them focus?17:06
AlanBellwhich means you can't type in one window mouse over another and scroll with the mouse wheel without moving back again?17:07
akgranerJfo, Jono, jcastro et all - Here's the links to the ChipIn Page for Van Hoof  - http://akgraner.com/?p=91717:07
AlanBelland if your mouse drifts out of the window you are typing in your keystrokes go somewhere else?17:07
jcastroakgraner: ta!17:08
jonoakgraner, oh my god, I didn't know that happened17:08
akgraneryep...ac unity crashed in on them during the tornado17:08
popeyAlanBell: yes, but!17:09
popeyAlanBell: you may notice that even with FFM _off_ you can still scroll a window without clicking it17:09
AlanBellyes, I do17:09
akgranerjono He just called us a few mins ago..the are very shook up..but safe and are staying with his parents atm17:09
AlanBelland I can still type in the first one17:09
popeywhich is even more infuriating because those of us who use ffm will do that then expect that typing will result in stuff in that window17:09
JFoakgraner, already posted about it :)17:10
popeyyes, which is duff17:10
popeyi386 installing btw17:10
akgranerJFo,  thanks!17:10
jcastroakgraner: sent, thanks!17:10
JFoakgraner, :)17:10
JFoakgraner, was it a total loss or do they know yet?17:10
AlanBellI quite often type in one window and scroll up and down a web page or pdf manual with the mouse17:11
popeywhich is half-arsed ffm17:11
AlanBellor a happy medium ymmv17:12
AlanBellI can even scroll different windows in a virtualbox vm with the text focus staying in a window in the host17:13
macowow17:13
macopopey: if you use alt+tab and are using focus follows mouse (not focus under mouse), then its not bad...17:14
Pendulumakgraner: oh no :(17:14
AlanBellhas that chipin page been tweeted akgraner?17:14
macothough iirc, gnome has no distinction between focus follows mouse, focus under mouse, and focus strictly under mouse17:14
akgranerAlanBell, not yet..doing that now...17:15
popeythe whole point of ffm maco is that you _don't_ use alt-tab17:16
popeyor click on windows, at all17:16
popeyyou just put the mouse over the one you want to use and use it17:16
AlanBellI will have to code up some retweet functionality in circleoffriends17:16
macopopey: if the window you're currently on is maximised, you kinda have to use alt+tab...17:16
macoi mean, how do you get your mouse over a completely hidden window?17:16
macoi use a combination of ffm & alt+tab17:16
popeyi dont have maximised windows17:16
macooh, see, i maximise most windows17:16
popeywell, i do, but its full screen on its own display17:16
jonoakgraner, I will get the word out about the ChipIn page17:16
macoexcept umm..irc17:16
macoand if i had an im client open regularly, that wouldnt be maxed either17:17
JFoakgraner, just talked to krafty, he is fine as well, his roof is leaking a little, but other than that...17:17
JFohe said the whole building had been evacuated17:17
JFoI assume they will do a structural integrity check17:18
macothough, if i use a tiling window manager, then its definitely ffm. though xmonad has the possibility of moving keyboard-focus and mouse-focus independently17:18
macocan scroll the mouse on one window while typing in another because the focuses aren't tied together17:18
akgranerdone twitted and dented17:20
akgranerJFo, yep that's what we heard...:-)17:20
popeyhmm, the wording on the fallback screen still needs work17:21
JFoakgraner, thought I remembered you telling me that17:21
popey"It seems you do not have the hardware required to run Unity. Please choose Ubuntu Classic at the login screen and you will be using the traditional environment."17:21

akgranerThanks jono!  They'll really appreciate that - and they were in the middle of planning a wedding too...this just sucks for them18:51
Davieyjcastro: pass!18:51
jonoakgraner, I feel for them18:52
jonoI love though how it shows human genorisity when in a few hours nearly $1000 is raised18:52
jcastroDaviey: ok, so the colors, we know how to fix that right?18:53
akgranerjono, that it does! :-)18:57
Davieyjcastro: yeah..  I wonder if cjohnston wants to fix that 'properly' :)18:59
jcastroI got the slot thing19:00
jcastroI just deleted the "break" slot19:00
jcastrothe breaks "count" as session slots19:00
jcastroso if you select a session for 2 blocks19:00
jcastroand the break is inbetween = doomed19:00
Davieyjcastro: blame mhall119 :)19:06
Daviey(or popey)19:06
jcastroDaviey: ok so all I need now are the colors and turn on the autosucking in from LP19:07
Davieyjcastro: The colours are a bite size fix19:09
DavieyJust needs adding to the css.19:09
cjohnstonDaviey: what am i fixing19:09

Davieycjohnston: the colours for summit tracks :D19:10

Davieyyou just don't know you do yet.19:10
cjohnstonI can take a look.. I'm at work today so no guarentees19:10
cjohnstonwho broke the numbers19:11
Davieycjohnston: see summit/media/css/schedule.css19:11
cjohnstonand by "we know how to fix that" what does that mean19:11
Davieydiv.meeting.ubuntutheproject        { background-color: #ffb9f4; }19:12

Davieydiv.meeting.cloud                   { background-color: #c1cdcd; }19:12
cjohnstonok19:12
Davieyetc, if a background is white - it means you can stab jcastro for changing the track names.19:12
cjohnstonsounds good19:12
cjohnstonDaviey: can we get an updated db as seen: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam/SummitJam19:14
Davieycjohnston: snapshot of the production db?19:15
jcastroDaviey: oh wait19:15
cjohnstonyes19:15
jcastroDaviey: we don't just assign colors, we like, hardcode those?19:15
cjohnstonplease19:15
jcastrooh no wonder19:15
Davieyjcastro: yeah... the proper fix would be something not hardcoded :P19:15
cjohnstonfile the bug as jcastro borked it19:15
jcastroI didn't bork anything19:15
cjohnstonDaviey said you did19:15
cjohnstonJFo is on the front page of summit19:16
Davieyjcastro: Yeah, just blaming you.19:16
jcastroit's ok, I blame you for everything else. :)19:16
cjohnstonyou took out the break!19:17
jcastrook so I should file a bug then right?19:17
cjohnstonboo!19:17
jcastroDaviey: but autosucking in the bp's from lp is your fault right?19:17
Davieyyeah19:17
cjohnstonbut we fix the bugs we create :-P19:18
cjohnstonyou make us fix the bugs you create19:18
mhall119Daviey: jcastro: I didn't change the way breaks and slots behave together, so I'm gonna say "not my fault" on this one19:19
cjohnstonI don't think we have ever tried to have something span multiple sessions19:19
mhall119jcastro: if you want to remove the 'break' slots, the times for everything else shouldn't be affected19:19
Davieycjohnston, we have19:19
mhall119cjohnston: we have in teh past19:19

AlanBellok, need some help19:26
AlanBellso I have a summit meeting in the context of my html template19:27
AlanBellneed to find out what rooms and times it is in19:27
AlanBellso it's list of associated agenda items19:27
popeybah!19:28
DavieyAlanBell, you might need to explain the problem in a different way, i don't follow19:28
AlanBellok, I added something to urls.py so that I can go to http://localhost:8000/uds-o/meeting/full-of-awesome/19:29
AlanBellwhere full-of-awesome is a meeting slug19:29
Davieyok19:30
AlanBelladded a function to views.py which gets a handle to the meeting with: meeting = get_object_or_404(summit.meeting_set, name__iexact=meeting_slug)19:30
Davieyok19:31
AlanBelland then does render_to_response of a new html template and passing in the meeting in the context19:31
AlanBelljust like the by_track function for example19:31
AlanBellso, I can include in the html stuff like {{ meeting.title }} which works great19:32
AlanBellbut there is no {{ meeting.room }} because room isn't a property of meeting19:32
DavieyAlanBell, fancy pastebining a diff? :)19:32
AlanBellI am looking for something like  meeting.agenda_items() to get me a list of stuff to itterate through19:33
AlanBellhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/595621/19:34
Davieywell you can do JOINS with object.objects.filter(object__field='something').. that might be what you need19:34
AlanBellend result I am going for is like this: http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/sessionprototype.html19:35
JFoakgraner, :-D19:36
mhall119AlanBell: you working on summit or LD?19:38
AlanBellsummit19:39
mhall119I don't think summit meetings have agenda lists19:39
AlanBellwell there is an agenda item object with slot/room/meeting as properties19:40
AlanBellI just can't get from the meeting back up to the agenda item19:40
mhall119have you tried meeting.agenda_set.all()?19:40
mhall119{fk_model}}_set is the default naming scheme in Django19:41
AlanBellthat sounds good19:41
* AlanBell knows nothing about django19:41
mhall119you picked a horrible project to start with then :(19:41
* AlanBell isn't scared of no summit19:42
mhall119you will be, (in ominous Yoda voice) you will be...19:43
AlanBellooh, that works19:45
AlanBelltemplate stuff is quite funky, not real python and not quite anything else I recognise19:46

DavieyAlanBell, yeah, i managed to get to the page :)20:35
jussiok, does it look like happening? should I recruit a load of idle people to test it? :D20:36
Davieyjussi, that might be a possibility, but hold fire right now.  jcastro is the contact for Getting This Done. :)20:36
jussiok :)20:37
AlanBelljussi: I hope it goes ahead or I just wasted a couple of hours20:38
jussi:D20:38
Davieyjussi, something really awesome that would be nice if it got done regardless, would be a ubuntu etherpad theme... got any ideas of people who are  a bit whizzy with css/js/html ?20:38
DavieyAlanBell, I think i'll run my sessions from it TBH.  And i think jcastro will, so don't worry about that!20:38
jussihrm, not off the top of my head, but Ill keep my eyes open20:39
Davieyjussi, cool20:39
AlanBellwith this patch you won't see the etherpad at all20:39
cjohnstonAlanBell: is that running etherpad on the same server as summit?20:39
AlanBellnope20:39
AlanBellthat would be a configuration URL somewhere20:39
AlanBellright now hardcoded to primarypad.com20:40
DavieyAlanBell, can the pad url be a settings.py value ?20:40
AlanBellsure20:40
cjohnstonlooks like that costs $$?20:40
AlanBelland it can be pointed at any etherpad that accepts themes on the querystring20:41
AlanBellcjohnston: no, we wouldn't use primarypad.com20:41
DavieyAlanBell, does my pad not do that?20:41
cjohnstonwhat would we use20:42
Davieycjohnston, TBC20:42
AlanBellDaviey: nope http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/uds-o-full-of-awesome?_theme=micro20:42
* Daviey wonders what has caused that not to work20:43
AlanBellmissing the micro theme perhaps?20:43
Davieythe micro theme is in place... but not sure why the query string isn't accepted20:43
Davieyi'll have to grok the logs for an indicator of the error20:43
AlanBellcjohnston: we would use our own etherpad server hosted somewhere, but I wasn't going to wait for that to exist before coding up the summit enhancement20:44
cjohnstongotcha20:44
cjohnstonDaviey: what do we need to do to get this pushed through?20:45
AlanBelljcastro: what do you think of it?20:45
james_wis there a required naming scheme for UDS blueprints this time?20:54
cjohnstonI think its still track-o-title20:56
james_wdoes that associate it with a track in summit?20:57
cjohnstonI'm not sure that they are automatically associated20:58
Davieyjames_w, it does yes20:59
Davieycjohnston, that is what trackfix tries to do.20:59
cjohnstongotcha21:00
james_wDaviey, thanks, so it should be <track from slug in summit>-o-title?21:00
Davieyjames_w, yes21:00
james_wthanks21:00
james_wDaviey, will the fact that some tracks have hyphens in the name screw it up?21:01
Davieyjames_w, no, that (will be) fine.21:01
Davieyjames_w, i see linaro has gone track crazy http://uds.ubuntu.com/tracks/ :)21:01
james_windeed :-)21:01
Davieyjames_w, I assume it's ok for linaro-* to have the same css colour ?21:01
cjohnstonyes they have21:01
james_wDaviey, we would like at least slightly different I guess21:02
james_wDaviey, the linaro css we are hoping to add could presumably just make Ubuntu sessions all one colour, and use different colours for each Linaro track though21:03
james_wthat would probably be fine21:03
Davieyjames_w, Would someone in linaro be able to pick a palette and varying shades, and megre proposal the css for the tracks in summit/media/css/schedule.css ?21:03
Davieyjames_w, ah, that is a good point21:04
Davieyjames_w, Will that be ok for the LCD screens?21:04
DavieyThe LCD screens in the hallways being Ubuntu specifc, showing linaro sessions as one colour?21:04
james_wDaviey, I don't know what the plan is there, I heard rumours that we would have a couple of Linaro screens too21:04
Davieyjames_w, Well that sounds quite clean, if Linaro is a second class citizien on the ubuntu screens, and ubuntu is the same to the linaro screens21:05
DavieyI'd rather look at screens and be able to mentally ignoreish one colour.21:05
Davieyand i imagine some of the linaro folk think the same.21:05
james_wDaviey, leave it with me, and I'll find out what is going on, and get the merge proposal if we need to21:06
* james_w expands the colour space21:06
Davieyjames_w, lovely!21:06
cjohnstonDaviey: mhall119 had mentioned adding a new field to the track slug allowing the picking of colors in admin.. I don't know if django offers something liek that easially tho21:06
Davieyideally, there would be some deterministic auto colour generation per track... but sounds like hard work :)21:07
cjohnstonheh21:07
Davieycjohnston, yeah... ideally it would use some logic to determine a colour for itself.21:07
AlanBellI was just going to suggest adding a hex string to the track21:07
Davieyseing how many tracks there are makes that a less fu task, doing it manually21:07
cjohnstonmaybe if certain people stopped changing track names21:08
* Daviey glares at jcastro 21:08
cjohnstonheh21:09
jcastroAlanBell: do you have the original wiki performance thread handy?21:30
jcastroDaviey: what's the question about CSS colors?21:33
AlanBellhttps://lists.canonical.com/archives/ubuntu-website/2010-November/001084.html21:34
jcastrojono: ^21:41
jonothanks jcastro21:41
AlanBellmy understanding is that they were going to hire someone(they didn't ask me) for a couple of weeks to code up the openID plugin for the new version21:45
james_wAlanBell, it's been done21:47
james_wthey are currently upgrading some smaller wikis to iron out the issues21:48
AlanBellgreat21:48
AlanBelljames_w: are you involved with the wiki effort?21:54
james_wAlanBell, just one of the smaller wikis used for testing21:54
AlanBellI would kind of like to do a moin extension to set the canonical link so that google searches go to wiki.ubuntu.com or wiki.{k|ed}ubuntu.org as appropriate21:56
AlanBellbut I can't be bothered to do it if it is going to take a year to get deployed21:56
jonoAlanBell, I have followed to up with IS to see what is going on with the wiki work22:19
AlanBellthanks22:19
AlanBelljono: see my summit enhancement?22:20
jonoAlanBell, no?22:21
AlanBelljono: http://libertus.co.uk:8000/uds-o/meeting/full-of-awesome/22:22
AlanBellnotes pages with embedded etherpad in the summit UI22:22
jonoAlanBell, schaweeeeet!22:22
AlanBellthe track listings grow an extra icon like this http://libertus.co.uk:8000/uds-o/2011-04-14/22:22
jonoI want to make sure we test this fully before we rely on it for UDS22:22
jonoparticularly as summit is held together with sellotape and chewing gum22:23
jonoso I would want to make sure IS do some stress testing22:23
AlanBellwell this bit is dead simple22:23
jonothat is awesome though :-)22:23
AlanBellit just needs a stress tested etherpad server somewhere22:23
AlanBelland with this setup we don't have to theme the etherpad server or do anything fancy to it22:24
jonoAlanBell, cool, so it could be cool to hook you up with Charlie in IS to help make that train roll22:24
AlanBellwell probably Daviey and jcastro have that in hand along with the others on the -devel mailing list22:25
AlanBellmight need an executive decision to make it so22:25
paultag<make it so>22:26
AlanBell<number one>22:26

AlanBellthe summit patch should be relatively uncontroversial in terms of performance I think Daviey mhall119?22:27

AlanBellnom22:29
mhall119AlanBell: which QR code is that on your meeting details page?22:38
AlanBellit points to meeting.wiki_url22:39
AlanBellbut could be pointed anywhere considered useful, or removed22:40
mhall119AlanBell: we currently have qrcodes to the conventionist/guidebook app we're going to be using22:42
AlanBellit is generated on the fly by google, just change the bit in the middle of the URL, I put {{ meeting.wiki_url }} https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=https://wiki.ubuntu.com/wiki&choe=UTF-8.png22:42
mhall119AlanBell: have you talked to jcastro or Daviey about using primarypad.com?22:44
AlanBellno, we are not going to use primarypad.com22:44
mhall119ok22:45
AlanBellwe are going to use a server that does not yet exist22:45
mhall119sounds exciting22:45
AlanBellin the absence of such a server, I temporarily pointed it at primarypad.com because it works22:46
AlanBellthe url in the iframe is http://primarypad.com/uds-o-full-of-awesome?_theme=micro22:47
AlanBellwhich is http://<padserver>/{{summit.name}}-{{meeting.name}}?_theme=micro22:48
AlanBelland we just change padserver to point to whatever we want, or as Daviey suggested put it in settings.py or somewhere. I dunno.22:48
AlanBellwhat are the next steps here?22:59
AlanBellI guess I can't do a merge request until we have a real server to point it at22:59
jcastroDaviey: around?23:54
