dholbachgood morning08:21
nigelbhey dholbach08:32
dholbachhi nigelb08:33
nigelbdholbach: I talked to the openhatch folks last night/early today morning.08:33
dholbachhow did it go?08:34
nigelbThey're very much interested in us using openhatch to fill in the "need volunteers" and "I want to help" scenario.08:34
dholbachwhat would we have to do?08:35
nigelbThere's a lot of intersect between the 2 communities, since paulproteus who found the project is also a DD and friend of a bunch of people in Ubuntu08:35
nigelbdholbach: I think we need to use the platform, but if you want you can talk to them at #openhatch08:35
dholbachwhat specifically would we have to change?08:36
nigelbI don't think we have to change anything,08:36
nigelbOpenhatch gives us a medium and we'd need to use it.08:36
dholbachdo you know which information we would have to feed in there?08:37
dholbachdo you know if there's additional features that'd be valuable for us?08:37
nigelbdholbach: At this point, I can't comment. I've not looked at openhatch website in a while.  If you want I can look that up and get back to you.08:38
dholbachif you want to, that's great - I guess I'll also have a look08:38
dholbachnot today, as I have something else to finish to day, but probably some time this week08:38

czajkowskijono: darling you here?20:43
mhall119czajkowski: nope20:43
czajkowskimhall119: if I or paultag click on teams, nothing happens20:43
jonoczajkowski, yup20:44
mhall119czajkowski: loaded for me, just slow20:44
mhall119czajkowski: are you logged in?20:44
mhall119if so, log out and try it again20:44
czajkowskijono: if the LC runs a competition to design a logo will you pick one for us ?20:44
czajkowskimhall119: not logged in20:44
jonoczajkowski, logo for what?20:44
czajkowskijust for the loco council, like a brand, we're setting up our blog20:45
mhall119czajkowski: huh, you sure it's not just being slow?20:45
czajkowskithought it'd be a nice way to get loco teams aware of the ocuncil20:45
jonoczajkowski, do we need another logo?20:45
czajkowskiwell there is none for the LC it was just an idea, something that would appear on LP and also on the blog20:46
mhall119I know there's the community fishbowl, is there a specific Local Community logo?20:46
czajkowskimhall119: nope20:46
czajkowskiwe just had a productive call wiht paultag and popey20:46
mhall119so maybe the logo should be for locos, instead of just the council20:46
czajkowskimhall119: nice idea don't we use the cirlce of friends?20:47
cjohnstonI kinda liked the idea of a governance blog in which every board can post to.20:52
czajkowskicjohnston: cool, well you can bring that up wth them, in the mean time we're gonna make a bit of an effort to get the word out on stuff and get ours up and running and then maybe more will join in20:53
czajkowskihopefully20:53
czajkowski:)20:53
jonojcastro, what are the latest docs for writing an indicator?20:56
jcastrosame as before20:57
jcastrohttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators20:57
jcastrothe python example needs to be updated to GI20:57
nhandlercjohnston: Or people can just subscribe to planet.ubuntu.com20:58
cjohnstonnhandler: I think it would be nice to have one place to go to see all posts from the councils20:58
cjohnstonwhich you wont really get from planet20:58
cjohnstonplanet isnt really conducive to going back and finding something in the past20:59
nhandlercjohnston: I don't really see the need. But it is rather trivial to setup a Yahoo Pipes or Planet Planet to pull in all the council feeds if someone wanted20:59
nhandlercjohnston: That is what your feed reader is for20:59
jonodoctormo, ping?21:10
jonodoctormo, on the subject of our "community experience built into the desktop" discussion, see http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/06/06/better-community-with-better-technology/21:10
mhall119nhandler: how long does your feed reader keeps articles?21:11
cjohnstonmine isnt very long21:14
cjohnstonunless i star it21:14
nhandlermhall119: No clue. I use google reader, And I star anything I need to keep.21:14
cjohnstoni may not think that i need to keep something, but then want to go back for reference21:15
nhandlerBut, if anything, that is an issue with the current feed readers, not a reason for a new council blog21:15
mhall119but I think cjohnston's scenario was the case where you want to go back and find something that you didn't think was worth keeping when you first read it21:15
mhall119feed readers aren't meant to be content archives21:15
AlanBelland new community members don't have feed reader history21:21
AlanBelland I don't have a feed reader for that matter21:21
nhandlerWell, this doesn't really solve the problem. With a shared blog, you would go to the blog, and then search it for the post. With the current system, it is no different. You go to the person's blog and search for the post. If you want to make it easier for people to subscribe to all the council members' posts, use something like yahoo pipes to create a feed that pulls in all of the other feeds.21:29
jonojcastro, to be clear, https://launchpad.net/unity/+milestone/3.8.14 is the upcoming Unity SRU, right?21:43

jcastrohttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/620283/22:13
jcastrovoila22:13
jcastroso yeah, it's still in proposed22:13
cjohnstonnhandler: im not saying something for every members posts.. I'm saying a council blog, in which the councils post blog posts.. not council members posting blog posts.22:14
jonojcastro, I just installed it22:15
jonoseems be running well far22:15
nhandlercjohnston: That just sounds like one more place that we need to duplicate announcements. Most councils send it to some ML, post on some blog that is on the planet, post in certain relevant irc channels, and submit to the fridge/uwn (which should be up and running again soon)22:37
jonofolks, can you folks help me test Lernid in a few mins?22:55
jonoWe are running a Lernid testing event in 5 mins - go and download the new Lernid release from a PPA and join the session: http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/06/05/new-lernid-release-please-test/22:55

jonodoctormo, yup23:12
doctormoLet me join in the fun...23:13
jonodoctormo, did you see my recent blog entry?23:29
jonoit resonates with our discussion about community built into the desktop23:29
doctormojono: Interesting, I'm reading it now23:30
jonodoctormo, :-)23:30
doctormojono: OK read, looks like you've specified several projects with quite a bit of work to get them done.23:35
doctormoThe first job is to put them into blueprints23:35
doctormoSo we can pass out the work to people when they come forward23:35
doctormoAnd duplication is avoided.23:35
jonodoctormo, yeah, I just wanted to share some ideas to see if interested folks to write some code23:35
jonowasn't sure if you fancied writing one of these?23:36
doctormoI need to double check the new backend for launchpadlib, if their new login framework is easy enough, then it should be simple to do.23:36
doctormoGroundControl suffers because it needs access to the ssh keys, which the launchpad API doesn't provide yet. But none of your proposals need ssh keys to work.23:37
doctormoSo the default launchpadlib access control work should do the trick.23:37
doctormoRight I have to head out --> "home James"23:38
