cjohnstonnigelb: mhall119 as of right now, next week, monday thursday friday are out00:10
=== daker_ is now known as daker
Amozwhop whop11:24
dholbachthanks Amoz for helping out11:24
dholbachbranching the packaging guide, changing the config, then running make html should update the html in _build/html11:24
dholbachmaybe Raoul Snyman's work can serve as a basis - I don't know11:25
dholbachas far as I know the retheming is the only thing remaining to move the guide to a more "official" home11:26
dakerok11:27
Amozdholbach, I figured my work for the bitesize bugs is almost useless, so why not help out in a field I know quite well?11:27
dholbachAmoz, let's talk about the bitesize bugs later on - I'm sure we can find something you can work on if you're interested :)11:27
AmozRaouls theme is just a "child theme" with some ported (?) css from the light django theme I think11:27
dholbachthanks again for helping out - I'm useless when it comes to CSS, so I greatly appreciate it :)11:27
dholbachAmoz, yes - AFAIK it's the base sphinx theme changed in a few places11:28
dakerdholbach, how to compile that ?11:28
dholbachmake html11:29
dholbachand then open _build/html/index.html11:29
dholbach(you might have to install python-sphinx)11:29
dakergot it11:31
dholbachwoohoo11:32
dakerare you going to pay for that ツ ?11:34
Amozdaker, you get a hug from dholbach and me?11:35
dakerLoL11:35
dakerdholbach, Amoz ok i'll start working on that tonight11:36
dholbachdaker, if I visit Morocco, I promise I'll invite you to lunch+dinner while I'm there :)11:36
dholbachdaker, if you can point out anything that amoz or I can do, please say so11:36
dholbachas soon as it is vaguely resembling the other pages we have, I think we should get it out there and fix the small bits here and there afterwards11:37
dakerok11:37
Amozdaker, I'm playing with some code right now11:38
dholbachdaker, how's life apart from web stuff? everything OK over there?11:39
dakeryeah it's ok right now. thanks11:40
Amozdholbach, about the bitesize bugs I mentioned before, take a look at my real name and I hope you'll understand what I meant :P11:41
dholbachAmoz, ok - I just had a look at your merge proposals11:43
dholbachwhy don't you have a chat with the person in #ubuntu-devel who is marked as patch pilot right now? :)11:44
dholbach(it's in the topic of the room)11:44
dholbachit's their job to help you get it in :)11:44
dholbachsorry if you feel like you're stuck11:44
dholbachAmoz, how was the general process of fixing things?11:44
Amozdholbach, what I meant was, there's no point in doing a lot of bitesize bugs when a lot of other people probably want them ( for practice).. I'm better off doing this CSS stuff instead :D11:49
Amozdholbach, the process feels quite easy in most cases. usually just branch from LP, fix the stuff, dch -i, then push and propose11:51
dholbachAmoz, I wouldn't say so - every bug fixed... at the end of the day... is a bug fixed :)11:51
dholbachand if it's something you enjoy doing, that's even better11:51
Amozdholbach, well, you rather get the package guide redesigned than fixing some spelling errors right? ;)11:51
Amozyeah it's fun to learn the bzr/LP flow11:52
Amozbut CSS and web is a lot of fun too11:52
dholbachAmoz, if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know11:52
Amozdholbach, yeah fix my Erlang assignment11:54
nigelblol11:54
dakerdholbach, just give some time, maybe i can show you something next week11:54
dholbachAmoz, that is a bit much to ask for - it gets close to "achieve world peace"11:54
Amozdholbach, oh is it? whyyy? :(11:56
dholbachI have no idea about Erlang at all :)11:57
Amozkinda hard then..11:57
dholbachyeah :)11:57
Amozdaker, dholbach , is there a "sidebar" css class somewhere in the ubuntu css files?12:22
AmozI want one for the ToC12:22
dholbachI don't know, but Ronnie, mhall119 or daker might12:23
dakerno there is no sidebar on the ubuntu website12:24
dakerAmoz, i suggest something like this http://www.ubuntu.com/business/desktop/business-as-usual12:24
Amozso..much...styles :|12:26
dakeryep drupal ツ12:26
Amozgrrr no dropbox-nautilus 3 integration12:51
Amozdholbach, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/103754/upg/index.html12:52
AmozI dunno if it looks funnier in other browsers, but chrome 13 is at least intepreting the main structure quite well12:53
Amozexcept for the ToC12:53
Amozit's complete lost behind the rest of the page o.O12:53
Amozalso I pushed the branch here https://code.launchpad.net/~fougner/+junk/ubuntu-packaging-guide-sphinx-template12:54
Amozdaker, ^13:07
mhall119morning dholbach, what's up?13:13
Amoz*looking up*13:14
dholbachhey mhall11913:51
dholbachAmoz, oh wow - that looks good already!13:51
dholbachdaker, ^13:52
dholbachmhall119, we're re-branding the packaging guide13:52
dholbachor rather Amoz and daker are13:52
dakergood start13:52
Amoz^_^13:53
Amozdholbach, just curious, why did you choose something as sphinx for a simple guide?13:54
dholbachAmoz, it's very easy to type articles in restructured text and there were people with experience using it13:56
dholbachAmoz, also: it can generate loads of different output formats13:56
dholbachit's good stuff13:56
Amozhmm good point about the formats..13:59
dholbachyeah, it was one of the requirements13:59
dholbachwe want to move away from the wiki as it was too hard to maintain, now we can file bugs, have code review, etc.14:00
Amozdholbach, I see.. now I have a very alpha-ish site here14:29
dholbachAmoz, you rock14:29
Amozthe same link as before14:30
Amozdholbach, danke14:30
Amoz;D14:30
dholbach:)14:30
Amozhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/103754/upg/index.html14:30
dakernice14:31
dholbachneat14:31
dholbachgreat work14:31
dholbachcan you upload a merge proposal? I think as a first cut at least visually it's good to go14:32
dholbachwe can still file bugs afterwards14:32
dholbachlike ¶ sticking out a bit, etc. :)14:32
dholbachnice, I like it14:34
Amozdholbach, a lot of stuff is still missing, like pictures and stuff, but okay14:34
* dholbach hugs Amoz14:35
Amozuhm, dholbach, I didn't branch from the origin, can I still propose?14:40
dholbachfrom what did you branch?14:40
dholbachAmoz, I can merge from lp:~fougner/+junk/ubuntu-packaging-guide-sphinx-template?14:41
Amozthe latest version should be there yeah14:41
Amozgo ahead14:41
Amozbe careful, the universe might explode14:41
Amozit's in the +junk section ;)14:42
dholbachhaha, yes14:42
dholbachwhich bits did you borrow from the light-theme?14:42
Amozlike.. everything?14:42
Amozlemme show you14:43
AmozI copied the newstyle.css from  http://loco.ubuntu.com/14:43
AmozI think mhall and someone did that one14:43
Amozand before that I copied the whole django light theme14:43
dholbachbut that's not in the branch, right?14:44
Amozuh?14:44
Amozall those files are put in the default.css_t14:44
Amozmaybe a stupid thing to do14:44
dholbachno no, I'm still figuring it out, nevermind14:44
Amoz^_^14:44
dholbachI just thought it'd be good to document how exactly it's put together, so we have an easier time to update to whatever is new14:45
dholbachlet me have another look14:45
Amozyeah maybe it's better to inherit those then14:45
Amozthe default.css_t can inherit those css-files14:45
Amoz@import14:45
Amozor something ya know14:45
dholbachI'm not the best person to comment on this14:45
dholbachdaker or mhall119 might know14:46
Amozthen we could keep the separate files in the directory instead14:46
dakeryep14:46
Amozdholbach, woohoo, friend req14:47
dholbach:)14:47
dholbachso what is the best way forward? how do we organise this in the source tree? with the imports and stuff14:47
dholbachI'm not an expert :)14:47
Amozis there a way to import the light-theme into the packaging guide repo=?14:49
Amozdholbach, ^14:49
Amozand the newstyle.css14:49
Amozdunno where those a maintained14:49
Amozhttp://loco.ubuntu.com/media//css/newstyle.css14:50
Amozhttp://loco.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-website/media/css/default.css14:50
Amozthose ones14:50
dholbachdaker, mhall119: where do these come from? ^14:50
dholbachnewstyle.css I think is home-grown for LD14:50
AmozLD?14:50
dholbachthe other one should be part of the the light theme14:50
dholbachloco directory, sorry14:51
Amozah14:51
dholbach(loco.ubuntu.com)14:51
Amozyeah mhall did the first one14:51
Amozaccording to the copyright text14:51
dholbachwhat we could do is add a small script that puts these bits together, so whenever we decide to "update" to a newer theme we have a reproducible way to add things14:52
dholbachand then just add the necessary files into our branch in the right place14:52
dholbachso it's a bit clearer where everything comes from14:52
mhall119I didn't do them14:53
mhall119but yes, newstyle.css is loco-directory specific styles14:53
Amozmhall119, you did the newstyle one14:53
mhall119default.css if from the theme branch14:53
Amoztogether with paul14:53
mhall119Amoz: no, it evolved organically, the copyright stuff wasn't added until later14:54
Amozo.O14:54
Amozoh, well14:54
mhall119I'm pretty sure newstyle.css was around before I started LD hacking14:54
Amozi dunno , I'm just a noob ^_^14:54
mhall119heh, me too14:55
Amozso if I put a CSS seed in a pot, will it evolve organically? D:14:55
mhall119only if you water it with the sweat of new contributors14:55
dholbachhaha14:56
dholbachAmoz, if you could add a small piece of text somewhere in the branch that explains what we got from where and then push it to lp:~fougner/ubuntu-packaging-guide/ubuntu-packaging-guide-sphinx-template and then propose a merge, that'd be super helpful14:56
dholbachso we can all look at the diff from LP and comment on it and figure out what we still need to do14:56
Amozis the newstyle maintained somewhere?14:56
dholbachjust mention where you got it from for now, we can then still figure out how to best stay on top of changes in there and make sure it has the right license and we add proper attribution14:58
dholbachAmoz, by the sound of it, it's a home-grown thing for loco.u.c14:58
dholbachmhall119, ^ is it worth generalising newstyle.css or putting it somewhere for easier reference?14:59
mhall119dholbach: no, but common styles can be moved into the theme's default.css15:01
Amozoh.. license15:01
mhall119check launchpad15:02
dholbachAmoz, it should be agpl15:02
dholbachif it's part of loco.u.c15:02
Amozalso the actual theme is copied and modified from the basic sphinx theme15:02
Amozthe template files ^15:02
mhall119LD is agplv315:02
mhall119the themes are gplv215:02
dholbachAmoz, the modified files should be fine15:03
Amozand the small css file I did, assembling the newstyle and light django theme, should have what license?15:03
Amozit does not contain the files15:04
Amozjust @import:ing15:04
AmozI know I'm the author officially, but what license is to prefer?15:04
dholbachall of the guide currently is cc-by-sa15:05
AmozO_O15:05
dholbachbut it's no big deal - we just need to mention it in ./debian/copyright - I'm happy to update it as soon as we're happy with the rest :)15:06
mhall119if you make it GPLv2, it'll be compatible with all our other css15:06
dholbachI'm happy with that too15:07
dholbachbrb15:08
Amozthere15:11
AmozGPLv215:11
Amozbah15:16
Amozsome more styles added15:16
Amozoh god.. fail15:17
mhall119hmmm, god fail sounds bad15:18
nigelbI would say "Welcome to CSS"15:18
Amozmhall119, I forgot I did some changes in the original files15:19
Amozrelative picture paths15:19
nigelbsee? Welcome to CSS is correct :P15:19
Amoz:D15:22
Amozthere15:24
Amozfinally15:24
Amozdholbach, feel free to merge15:24
Amozhttps://code.launchpad.net/~fougner/+junk/ubuntu-packaging-guide-sphinx-template15:24
AmozI need to leave now15:24
dholbachok, I'll drop you a mail about it15:27
Amozdholbach, just remember to put in a good word for me when I'm at a job interview @ canonical ;)15:28
dholbachhaha, great :)15:28
Amozbye!15:29
dholbachtake care15:29
* Amoz hugs everyone15:29
dholbach:)15:29

nigelbmhall119: Did you know Disqus uses Django?15:48
nigelbhttps://twitter.com/#!/gvanrossum/status/8882291583077580815:49
mhall119nigelb: newz2000 informed me of that this morning, actually15:50
nigelbmhall119: I assume the source of all that is the tweet above15:50
newz2000that is a bit coincidental15:50
newz2000I didn't see that tweet15:51
nigelbheh, conincidental then :)15:51
mhall119no such thing as coincidence, obviously someone is eavesdropping on our mumble call15:51
nigelbhaha15:51
