| pleia2 | thanks AlanBell | 17:35 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | so on our blueprint I volunteered to contact jono and get the condorcet poll set up and otherwise run the leadership election | 20:53 |
| pleia2 | but since I'm a candidate this is probably not a good idea | 20:53 |
| maco | where's the list of nominees? i'll email him | 20:53 |
| pleia2 | can we get someone else to volunteer for this? | 20:53 |
| pleia2 | maco: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/LeadershipElectionProcess/2011 | 20:54 |
| pleia2 | what we need is the list from ~ubuntu-women in launchpad | 20:54 |
| maco | and no, nigel, i'm not applying for yet another board | 20:54 |
| maco | oh | 20:54 |
| pleia2 | [lyz] Contact Jono in July when ready for election to handle condorcet voting: TODO | 20:54 |
| pleia2 | ^^ my action item from UDS | 20:54 |
| maco | so do i just give him the list of all the names? | 20:57 |
| maco | im a little confused | 20:57 |
| maco | i cant see everyone's email addresses... | 20:57 |
| pleia2 | to do condorcet voting we need a list of all email addresses from LP to add them to the poll, only canonical folks have been successful in getting such lists from launchpad | 20:57 |
| pleia2 | so jono said he'd help us out when election time came | 20:57 |
| maco | ah ok | 20:58 |
| pleia2 | either by setting up the poll or getting us a list of public addresses and contacting the rest to see if they want to participate | 20:58 |
| pleia2 | us mere mortals can only email a handful of people per day via launchpad, so last time akgraner spent something like a week hitting her quota for contact every day to reach everyone | 20:58 |
| maco | so i just tell him "hey get hte names from the thing and make a poll with these candidates"? | 20:58 |
| pleia2 | s/names/email addresses | 20:59 |
| maco | doh | 20:59 |
| maco | erm yes | 20:59 |
| maco | ik | 20:59 |
| maco | ok | 20:59 |
| pleia2 | the election isn't until August 9th, but we need the list now because we require the list from 30 days prior to the election | 21:00 |
| pleia2 | so don't make the poll until then, just get the list :) | 21:00 |
| maco | oh i see | 21:00 |
| maco | dan | 21:00 |
| maco | *dang | 21:00 |

| AlanBell | ÆV/24 | 21:52 |
| AlanBell | wonder how I typed that | 21:52 |
| maco | altgr+shift+z | 21:53 |
| maco | at least thats how i get Æ | 21:53 |
| AlanBell | that does < for me | 21:54 |
| rww | it does Z for me. yay Windows! | 21:54 |
| maco | GB keyboards are weird. you need 3 keys to get < ??? | 21:54 |
| maco | how do brits EVER do html?! | 21:54 |
| rww | maco: umm, no you don't | 21:55 |
| maco | or math? | 21:55 |
| AlanBell | no, I have <> on keycaps | 21:55 |
| maco | oh, just have two ways to get to them? | 21:55 |
| AlanBell | so it seems | 21:55 |
| maco | interesting | 21:55 |
| Pendulum | maco: you mean you don't want to be on every board Ubuntu has all at once? | 21:55 |
| maco | http://www.twam.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/us_international.png this is the layout i use | 21:56 |
| maco | Pendulum: oh yeah just want to spend all my time on dmb, rmb, uw, and cc meetings uh huh... i'm not lyz ;) | 21:56 |
| maco | oh wait forgot tb | 21:57 |
| Pendulum | :) | 21:57 |
| maco | then thatd be all the boards i can remember | 21:57 |
| Pendulum | maco: you forgot loco council | 22:00 |
| maco | hm if ones with council in the name count then there's also kubuntu-council | 22:00 |
| maco | and i think edubuntu has a council too | 22:00 |
| AlanBell | http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/Screenshot-Keyboard%20Layout%20%22United%20Kingdom%22.png | 22:01 |
| AlanBell | Æ altgr+shift+a | 22:01 |
| maco | WOAH | 22:03 |
| maco | you have a key between Z and shift! | 22:03 |
| maco | weeeeeeeird | 22:03 |
| AlanBell | you don't O.o | 22:04 |
| maco | nope | 22:04 |
| maco | pipe is where your return key gets too-tall ;) | 22:04 |
| maco | what is that character when you shift-backtick? | 22:05 |
| AlanBell | ¬ | 22:05 |
| maco | what's it for? | 22:05 |
| maco | and does this mean i have to stop explaining backtick as "un-shift tilde"? | 22:06 |
| AlanBell | no idea, I have a vauge recollection that it is a mathematical symbol for logical not, or perhaps something from set theory | 22:06 |
| maco | oooh yeah...that's common enough to warrant *not* being third-level? | 22:06 |
| AlanBell | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negation | 22:07 |
| maco | woah | 22:07 |
| AlanBell | I was right first time :) | 22:08 |
| maco | are the third levels on v/b left and right double quotes? | 22:08 |
| maco | instead of just having straight quotes? | 22:08 |
| AlanBell | “” | 22:08 |
| AlanBell | yes, never knew they were there | 22:08 |
| maco | oh how odd | 22:09 |
| maco | they put Þ on P | 22:09 |
| AlanBell | straight quotes are on shift 2, where they belong | 22:09 |
| maco | i know it looks like it, but i think ours makes more sense semantically, since it's thorn...it's for a th sound...it goes with T | 22:09 |
| maco | i am now sad that wynn is not on keyboards though | 22:10 |
| maco | i re-learned about wynn when i showed Pendulum my 11th century calligraphy of the Lords Prayer | 22:10 |
| === issyl0_ is now known as Guest68804 | ||
| maco | at first i wondered why i put thorn into the text when writing it since the things i see online use a w, then i realised no, thats not a thorn, the strokes are different, and i looked up the anglo saxon alphabet, and sure enough, w used to be written as Ƿ | 22:11 |
| AlanBell | you have Á as a single chord which is nice, I have to press altgr+; then A | 22:11 |
| AlanBell | it does need an interrobang key | 22:12 |
| AlanBell | anyhow, late here, night maco and all o/ | 22:12 |
| maco | bye | 22:12 |
