[01:57] <munz> congrats bluebomber! hard?
[03:13] <cjohnston> bluebomber: congrats
[03:14] <bluebomber> Thanks!
[03:14] <bluebomber> Yes. I barely passed o.O
[15:19] <dantalizing> morning
[15:30] <itnet7> morning!
[15:30] <itnet7> cjohnston: I am not sure if I met the guy from Maitland? What's his name or nick?
[15:53] <nigelb> dantalizing: ping
[15:55] <nigelb> dantalizing: do you have comments to add for https://launchpad.net/~dantrevino
[15:55] <nigelb> argh
[15:55] <nigelb> https://bugs.launchpad.net/summit/+bug/668555
[15:56] <nigelb> today is bad paste day.
[15:56] <dantalizing> oh i have all kinds of comments for https://launchpad.net/~dantrevino
[15:57] <dantalizing> thx nigelb 
[16:01] <itnet7> ROFL
[16:02] <dantalizing> nigelb mhall119 i have a question
[16:02] <dantalizing> oops meeting
[16:02] <dantalizing> bbl
[16:03] <nigelb> sure
[16:03] <nigelb> hehe
[16:35] <dantalizing> nigelb: mhall119 so.... why is some of this stuff not being hosted on something like Google App Engine?  Besides the burning desire to run *on* Ubuntu, and the NIH syndrome, it would be cool to get some of the built in scalability/reliability from GAE.
[16:35] <dantalizing> GAE runs some django-like bastardization
[16:36] <nigelb> dantalizing: well, mainly because of private data.
[16:36] <nigelb> the sponsorship data is private and internal to Canonical.
[16:38] <dantalizing> kinda flimsy, but it was more of a rhetorical question. i didnt figure they'd want to move. and i'm certainly not in a better position than others to determine the "right" way to architect thier stuff
[16:38] <dantalizing> just seems like a good alternative
[16:38] <dantalizing> and probably cheaper
[16:38] <dantalizing> less ubuntu win though
[16:39] <nigelb> yeah
[16:39] <nigelb> but this way we have people who have access to that machine
[16:40] <nigelb> since I've never used GAE, I don't know what kind of access we get when deployed to it
[16:40] <dantalizing> definitely not physical or remote access, but thats kinda the point
[16:40] <dantalizing> throw your app up, scale it
[16:41] <dantalizing> anyway ... just throwing it out there
[16:41] <nigelb> I don't think we've ever had scaling problems
[16:41] <nigelb> Most of our issues were that some things are just wrong.
[16:42] <nigelb> almost all of summit is code hacked together, and then someone prays that it runs
[16:42] <dantalizing> thats the only way to fly
[16:42] <nigelb> Until recently, we didn't event write code for it until a few weeks before UDS ;)
[16:42] <dantalizing> i heard mhall119 was gonna put an api u
[16:42] <dantalizing> up
[16:43] <nigelb> Yeah, I talked to mhall119 about that last night. But realistically, it might not happen this cycle.
[16:43] <dantalizing> because he's a slacker
[16:43] <nigelb> nah, because I'm the summit guy now
[16:43] <dantalizing> oooo
[16:43] <dantalizing> nice
[16:43] <nigelb> and I've got too much on my plate to write an API too in the next 4 - 5 months
[16:43] <dantalizing> congrats/good luck
[16:44] <mhall119> yeah, nigelb was gonna add an API
[16:44] <mhall119> not me
[16:44] <nigelb> If I can find the time, definitely, I'd love to have it.
[16:44] <dantalizing> it should be a requirement for all webapps
[16:44] <nigelb> It would be nice to subscribe to sessions and have notify-osd notify you when the next session is due
[16:44]  * mhall119 hates Mono

[16:45] <nigelb> mhall119: why are you working with Mono?
[16:45] <mhall119> nigelb: can't you do that with the ical + (evolution|thunderbird)?
[16:45] <mhall119> nigelb: attempting to write a quick Tomboy plugin for pastebinit
[16:45] <nigelb> mhall119: personalized icals are hard aren't they?
[16:45] <nigelb> mhall119: Ohhhh, nice
[16:45] <mhall119> nigelb: summit already has personalized icals
[16:47] <nigelb> mhall119: Oh.
[16:47] <nigelb> mhall119: In which case, I can tick that dream as "fulfilled"
[21:39] <Shadowchaser> hello all 
[21:48] <Shadowchaser> got a few questions to ask anyone kinda new to ubuntu so still on learning curve  
[21:55] <Shadowchaser2> Hello
