[01:01] I'm heading to the Rathskeller in Huntington Beach to drink German beer! \o/ [01:08] nhaines: have fun :) [01:35] pleia2: "Im Himmel gibt's kein Bier / Drum trinken wir es hier!" [01:36] nice :) [01:37] The song continues (but in German): "And when we're no longer here / The others will drink all our beer!" [01:38] DarkwingDuck: btw, no amount of qualifiers will make your blog post not sound like "quit yur whining" :) [01:38] (being one of the others)++ [01:39] I'm spending the weekend with my boyfriend's jewish family :) [01:39] no ascension for us [01:42] Is DarkwingDuck not on planet.ubuntu-california.org ? [01:49] pleia2: Yeah, I know... [01:50] I think paultag said it best though.... "Nice suck up to canonical blog post the day before your interview" [01:51] akk: I think I changed my blig URL since then. I'm now at wonderly.com and not darkwingduck.org [01:51] I googled and found it. [01:51] Yay [01:51] heh @ paultag [01:51] haha, paultag++ [01:51] DarkwingDuck: you know, we do have the ability to update planet feeds :P [01:52] Yeah, I'm more dedicated to getting ready for the second interview at the moment. [01:52] :P [01:52] Problem I have with the blog post is that so many communities make it really hard to do more than spot problems (and blog workarounds or put them in blog comments). [01:53] akk: that's what I said in my comment [01:53] That "how to post a patch so it might even get considered" thing I blogged earlier this week was maybe my longest blog entry ever. And it was as condensed as I could make it. [01:54] yeah, I was actually thinking of your debdiff blog post when I wrote my comment [01:54] (among other things) [01:54] saying "just make a debdiff!" without giving any documentation borders on insulting [01:55] (and makes me feel like a moron, why can't I figure out how to make one? clearly it's easy if they are saying just do it...) [01:55] It took me maybe 4x as long to make the bzr diff as it did to install the source, track down why the program was crashing, find a fix and make the initial diff. [01:55] Maybe only 2x as long if you count the time I took going back realizing I could make a cleaner fix. [01:56] Of course, most bugs aren't nearly that easy to fix (alas!) [01:57] yeah, there is always that too [01:59] pleia2: we're trying to fix that! [01:59] (for ubuntu at least) [01:59] the long-term goal is that you just need to mark an attachment as a patch in LP, and the normal review process will kick in [01:59] broder: this has been a long term goal for a couple of years [02:00] broder: That would be SO much better. [02:00] yeah, but i think it's starting to approach feasible [02:00] that's good to hear :) [02:00] we're going to point patch pilots at operation cleansweep this cycle [02:00] since the sponsorship queue is at the point that it's usually short enough that patch pilots run out of work [02:01] (btw, this isn't all just me being the spotter, I am actively working with some bug and docs people to improve their contributor docs to help with this :P) [02:01] but it'll still take time, since there are just so many marked-as-patches attachments in lp right now [02:01] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-o-review-sponsorship-process and http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-o/meeting/community-o-review-sponsorship-process/ are the relevant links [02:01] err, most recently relevant links [02:02] yeah, that session conflicted with another so I had to read those afterwards [02:02] (always too much happening at uds! :)) [02:02] The SRU process is also crazy. [02:02] friday this cycle was really bad. i don't remember being so thoroughly overbooked last cycle [02:03] That's even harder than making a bzr patch/debdiff. [02:03] friday was actually my light day, thursday was gruesome [02:03] And not well documented. [05:36] hey guys [15:36] DarkwingDuck: aha, gonna work for Canonical? ;)
