[01:23] <cjohnston> daker_: et al my comment on bug 793739
[01:23] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 793739 in hall-of-fame "HOF doesn't work with django 1.1.1 (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/793739
[10:02] <daker> cjohnston, ok
[11:21] <nigelb> daker: did you get the ical working on summit?
[11:22] <daker> which ical ?
[11:22] <daker> i was working on the color field
[11:29] <nigelb> daker: yeah, that needed the ical right?
[11:29] <nigelb> well, eventually.
[11:29] <nigelb> I thought you said you were getting an error from the summit ical
[12:09] <daker> nigelb, ah no that's on LD bug #742126
[12:09] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 742126 in dateutil "_thread not available on Python 2.6 (affects: 1) (heat: 2)" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/742126
[12:09] <nigelb> daker: ahh, ignore me then ;)
[13:03] <daker> skype down again
[17:46] <Ronnie> ping cjohnston, mhall119
[17:46] <mhall119> pong Ronnie
[17:46] <Ronnie> is it already clear which items we want to display on the home page?
[17:47] <mhall119> Ronnie: I'd say 80%
[17:47] <Ronnie> i have not very much time to sort it out and find the info. All the time i have i will spend on designing itself
[17:47] <mhall119> Ronnie: will you be around for tomorrow's call?
[17:48] <mhall119> Ronnie: I'd say that if you can even just get the layout done, nevermind the content, then the rest of us will be able to fill it in
[17:48] <Ronnie> i guess not. maybe on thursday
[17:49] <mhall119> sorry, call is next wednesday, not tomorrow
[17:49] <Ronnie> the layout depends very on the content
[17:50] <mhall119> cjohnston: nigelb: daker: do you guys have a few minutes to get Ronnie our input?
[17:50] <Ronnie> mhall119: next call is 15 june, if im right, not tomorrow
[17:50] <mhall119> Ronnie: that's right, I was thinking it was weekly
[17:51] <Ronnie> next wednesday is still free
[17:51] <mhall119> ok
[17:51] <mhall119> I assume we're still using http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5184/5763041728_9d776baccd_o.jpg as our starting point
[17:52] <nigelb> mhall119: Are we starting with just 25 selected feeds?
[17:52] <mhall119> at this point, I'd say the blog feed, upcoming events and twitter feed are correct
[17:52] <mhall119> nigelb: I don't know how many we'll have to start, Jono and the LC will manage that
[17:52] <Ronnie> i think, the upcoming events part is too small
[17:53] <mhall119> Ronnie: if we just list global events I think we can get it in
[17:53] <Ronnie> if it is global events, its good
[17:53] <mhall119> maybe to 60% width on the blogs and 40% on the events and twitter?
[17:53] <mhall119> that would give more room
[17:54] <Ronnie> i think 70/30 will be good enough
[17:54] <mhall119> I'd like to split the "Slider Images" part into rotating images and a google map of upcoming events
[17:54] <mhall119> again, 60/40 or 70/30 split on that
[17:55] <Ronnie> i think it will look messy if the slider image part is splitted
[17:55] <mhall119> I'm unsure of the 4 bottons + text in between, I think the buttons should be secondary nav links
[17:55] <mhall119> those don't really seem "tab-worthy" to me, since they'll never change
[17:56] <mhall119> Ronnie: any idea where we can cleanly integreate a map of upcoming events?  I would really like to see that on the homepage
[17:56] <mhall119> maybe above the Upcoming Events box?
[17:57] <Ronnie> i think the map should at least span half the content-page
[17:58] <mhall119> hmmm, that doesn't give us anywhere to put it, really
[17:58] <mhall119> why so large?
[17:58] <mhall119> it can be a non-interactive image that just links to the /events/ page
[17:58] <Ronnie> its hard to find places on a small map. i dont like small maps
[17:59] <mhall119> I just want something that, at a glance, will tell visitors "Oh look, there are events coming up all over the world"
[17:59] <mhall119> it doesn't have to immediately tell them if there's one close by
[17:59] <Ronnie> im thinking about a tab system, fo rthe large part of the page (tabs: blogs, map, feeds ... )
[18:00] <mhall119> hmmm, that adds extra steps to see that information, which will mean it won't be seen as often
[18:00] <Ronnie> true
[18:00] <mhall119> I'd rather the homepage serve up teasers of information, with links to pages that have the rest
[18:01] <mhall119> for example, the feed might only show 3 or 5 entries on the homepage, but have a link to another page with the last 50 or so
[18:03] <Ronnie> we should also watch for 'too long' blog feeds. we need to truncate these
[18:03] <mhall119> they're already being truncated, I'm not storing the entire content
[18:04] <mhall119> we'll link to the source for that
[18:05] <Ronnie> great
[18:05] <Ronnie> do you also filter out the images?
[18:06] <mhall119> yeah, I'm stripping out all html tags
[18:06] <Ronnie> good
[19:14] <nigelb> mhall119, cjohnston: Could I mark you both as contact along with me for folks wanting to help with summit?
[19:18] <mhall119> nope, just you
[19:18] <mhall119> :P
[19:18] <cjohnston> +1 for mhall119's comment
[19:19] <nigelb> mhall119: err, seriously?
[19:19] <mhall119> no
[19:19] <mhall119> list us
[19:19] <nigelb> :)
[19:19] <mhall119> 2nd and 3rd
[19:19] <nigelb> HAHA
[19:19] <mhall119> hey, it's your project now
[19:20] <mhall119> it's like a curse, it's yours until you fine someone else to trick into taking over
[19:22] <cjohnston> hahah
[19:23] <cjohnston> mhall119: how did we pull that one off
[19:25] <cjohnston> wtf.. instructor is sending me a .pub file
[19:26] <Guest33238> cjohnston: publisher file?
[19:26] <Guest33238> that's weird.
[19:26] <cjohnston> ya
[19:26] <Guest33238> gimp might be able to open it (if you're lucky)
[19:27] <cjohnston> nope
[19:42] <nigelb> mhall119, cjohnston: http://nigelb.me/ubuntu/2011/06/08/new-domain-and-summit.html
[19:46] <cjohnston> nigelb: clearly you didnt follow all of my tutorials :-P
[19:46] <nigelb> cjohnston: heh, I skipped a bunch ;)
[19:49] <cjohnston> i kinda wish i was still running nginx
[19:49] <YoBoY> cjohnston: do you want an online converter for your .pub file ? ^^
[19:50] <cjohnston> I found one already.. Thanks YoBoY.. worst part of it all.. it provided me with nothing
[19:50] <cjohnston> (the file, not the converter)
[20:06] <Pendulum> nigelb: no, just needed to know where I needed to be :)
[20:06]  * nigelb waves to Pendulum
[20:06] <nigelb> heh
[20:06] <nigelb> ok, so bug 668555 is probably the easiest bug to start with.
[20:06] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 668555 in summit "add blueprint url to ical feed (affects: 1) (heat: 4)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/668555
[20:07] <Pendulum> *nods*
[20:07] <nigelb> Do you have bzr installed?
[20:08] <Pendulum> yes
[20:08] <cjohnston> do i see a new contributor?
[20:08] <Pendulum> maybe....
[20:08] <nigelb> mhall119: ^^ ;)
[20:08] <cjohnston> pen.. just a warning.. nigelb isnt happy that he was elected project lead.. so he may try to push that job to you :-P
[20:08] <nigelb> haha
[20:09] <Pendulum> cjohnston: no way he can push it, I'm too new and don't know enough :P
[20:09] <nigelb> Pendulum: so, you can branch the summit trunk with "bzr branch lp:summit"
[20:09] <cjohnston> this is nigelb we are talking about though
[20:10] <Pendulum> plus I want something that gets me hacking experience, not project management. I have enough project management experience as is
[20:10] <Pendulum> nigelb: done
[20:10] <cjohnston> well.. in this case, project management == lead hacker ;-)
[20:11] <Pendulum> yeah, totally not qualified for that :-)
[20:11] <cjohnston> hehe
[20:11] <cjohnston> all you have to do is hack on production like our current project lead and you will be fine!
[20:11] <Pendulum> as I said to nigelb in PM, the point in my doing this is that I am useless at learning things through tutorials and just need to jump in and learn by osmosis
[20:11] <cjohnston> thats how i learn
[20:11] <nigelb> Pendulum: okay, so there is an install file, set up everything until the end of "To run summit:"
[20:12] <nigelb> Pendulum: let me know if you run into any trouble with those steps
[20:13] <Pendulum> but it is warning to the rest of you that I am very beginner at all of this
[20:13] <cjohnston> Pendulum: mhall119 had to walk me step by step to get started
[20:14] <nigelb> mhall119: for the blueprint url, should we be using a custom X-BLUEPRINT field?
[20:22] <Pendulum> sorry, that was a 'Pen does something stupid and has to restart so she can get her mouse back' thing
[20:51]  * Pendulum finds bugs in the set-up instructions ;-)
[20:57] <mhall119> nigelb: in ical?
[20:57] <nigelb> mhall119: yeah
[20:57] <mhall119> for what reason?
[20:57] <nigelb> mhall119: https://bugs.launchpad.net/summit/+bug/668555
[20:57] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 668555 in summit "add blueprint url to ical feed (affects: 1) (heat: 4)" [Undecided,New]
[21:00] <mhall119> I think summit would benefit more from a JSON API than cramming everything into an ical
[21:00] <nigelb> mhall119: hrm, so you're voting that one off the ical?
[21:01] <nigelb> mhall119: (can you comment on the bug? :-))
[21:01] <mhall119> that's my opinion, unless dan has a good reason
[21:01] <mhall119> done
[21:03] <nigelb> ok, I'll tackle bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/summit/+bug/793018 with Pendulum then
[21:03] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 793018 in summit "Pull the summary from the launchpad blueprint and push it out via the iCal to Guidebook (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [High,Confirmed]
[21:03] <daker> nigelb, is that the bug 793019 report  for the color field ?
[21:03] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 793019 in summit " Make the colors for the track a database field instead of in the css (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/793019
[21:03] <nigelb> daker: yes
[21:03] <daker> ok
[21:07] <Pendulum> nigelb: I think we can probably move back here unless you're worried about confusing other people :)
[21:07] <nigelb> right
[21:07] <Pendulum> I'm done with stupid questions for now ;-)
[21:08] <nigelb> heh
[21:08] <Pendulum> or at least the ones that are so stupid I don't want them in a channel :P
[21:09] <nigelb> Pendulum: okay, we'll first fix bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/summit/+bug/665589.
[21:09] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 665589 in summit "Importing blueprints unreliable (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[21:09] <nigelb> This is probably the easiest bug ever :)
[21:10] <Pendulum> ok
[21:10] <daker> nigelb, this the error i am getting when i add the color field http://paste.ubuntu.com/621201/
[21:10] <nigelb> there's a line in the schedule/models.py/summitmodel.py where we use urllib to get data from launchpad.  Occasionally, it times out becuause of a 502 error.
[21:10] <nigelb> So we'll use try, except and catch the error from urllib2
[21:11] <nigelb> daker: do you have data from uds-o in summit?
[21:11] <Pendulum> ok
[21:11] <nigelb> Pendulum: take a moment to read the bug and figure out if you can find the line which needs fixing :)
[21:11] <daker> nigelb, no
[21:12] <nigelb> daker: scroll through your meeting table and see if any of the fields have a . in the name,
[21:12] <nigelb> daker: that's the error i had.
[21:12] <daker> ok
[21:16] <daker> nigelb, if we reached the num of RETRIES what and it didn't respond what the function should do ?
[21:16] <daker> -what
[21:17] <nigelb> daker: which function?
[21:17] <daker> update_from_launchpad
[21:17] <nigelb> daker: that's run manually
[21:17] <nigelb> so if we try and it doesn't work, we'll just fail gracefully
[21:17] <nigelb> instead of a 2 page traceback.
[21:18] <nigelb> s/run manually/run from terminal
[21:19] <Pendulum> nigelb: do you mean in schedule/models/summitmodel.py ?
[21:19] <nigelb> Pendulum: Yes
[21:19] <daker> Pendulum, nigelb http://paste.ubuntu.com/621210/
[21:20] <nigelb> daker: Thanks
[21:22] <daker__> sorry
[21:25] <daker> nigelb http://paste.ubuntu.com/621210/ what do you think ?
[21:26] <nigelb> daker: i got that earlier too.  That's perfect.
[21:31] <daker> Pendulum, do you want to implement it ?
[21:32] <Pendulum> daker: I'm working in PM with nigelb to actually write the code myself so I understand what I'm doing :)
[21:32] <daker> ok
[21:32] <Pendulum> (yes, I know duplicating work, but this is how I learn. I've not actually looked at your paste :) )
[21:44] <daker> :)
[22:03] <cjohnston> mhall119: et al, bp in ical is so that people on their phones or whatever can have easy access to get to the bp.. and i think it might have had to do with what Dan was trying to do last UDS mhall119
[22:07] <daker> mhall119, cjohnston any idea http://paste.ubuntu.com/621247/ ?
