doctormopleia2: Nice photos of you at FOSSCON03:58
pleia2doctormo: thanks03:58
doctormoI spy reasons to love to, nice :-D03:59
doctormoI have an owl!03:59
pleia2yeah, that was one of my "you can contribute with design!" slides :)03:59
pleia2an owl?03:59
doctormopleia2: Minoly surprised me with an owl art: http://divajutta.com/doctormo/art/Night%20moon%20owl.svg04:00
doctormoI know it's a bit late for ubuntu-learning-materials, but it's still cute.04:01
doctormoMimoly*04:01
pleia2aw, nice :)04:01
doctormopleia2: I've been putting my art to good use, floor ethernet maps of the BHA community centers. They get taped to the inside of the electrical closets04:03
pleia2doctormo: as a sysadmin who has to deal with undocumented networks, I love you for that :)04:03
doctormopleia2: I thought you might approve, could you peer review here: http://divajutta.com/doctormo/charlestown-plan.svg04:04
pleia2blues go into the 16 and purples into the 8?04:05
doctormopleia2: yes04:05
pleia2looks good04:05
doctormoThere are 10 of these centers, some don't even have ethernet infrastructure.04:06
doctormojust wires along the ground.04:06
pleia2not surprising04:06
pleia2in the schools we've worked in we pretty much have to run all the ethernet, if they had computers before us they either weren't networked or were poorly wired04:07
pleia2and we still need to run them when we want connectivity in individual classrooms, woo wire crimpers :)04:08
nigelbs/woo/eewww/g :P04:10
pleia2it's actually surprisingly satisfying work now and then04:11
nigelbha!04:11
doctormopleia2: Do you install good permanent infrastructure, or is it just temp?04:12
pleia2doctormo: I wouldn't say "good" but for all intents and purposes it is permanent04:13
pleia2budget is pretty much non-existant so we do what we can with what we have04:14
doctormopleia2: Yeah, in a lot of cases I end up repairing or making do.04:15
doctormoIn the site you just saw, when i got there, 12% of the ethernet ducts were falling off the walls.04:15
doctormoSome strong outdoor double sided tape, and their all repaired. No sense waiting for the network to die because wires got cut from the infrastructure literally falling around their ears.04:16
pleia2we go through walls when we can, but a lot of these buildings are old and all we can reasonably do is run wires along the tops of doorways down hallways04:18
pleia2(our ethernet is not the only wires running through the hallways)04:18
doctormoMary Ellen has that issue, there is NO WAY to get anything inside a stone wall. Not even screw holes.04:19
* pleia2 nods04:19
doctormoI ended up fixing the projector screen with same double sided tape, with some screws at the bottom for weight.04:20
doctormoPretty cool though, cieling paint, tape and two old cork boards chopped up.04:20
pleia2it's amazing how creative one gets :)04:21
doctormoNo amount of megivering could create a projector though. Donation from HDS away! ;-)04:22
pleia2nice, working projectors are rare finds!04:23
doctormopleia2: See pictures here: https://plus.google.com/10224100505066607564904:24
pleia2haha, excellent04:25
doctormoThat wall blunted 3 masonry bits, one quite expensive one.04:25
pleia2heh, ouch04:27
pleia2I have to say that as rewarding it is to work on these things I do still feel guilty about having a government that allows schools to be in such disrepair and without access to reasonable resources04:30
doctormopleia2: I feel annoyed, more than guilty, that recoures are being wasted. Not just on Bug#1 bullshit. But also on constractors that neither care or know anything.04:34
doctormoIt's like they're stuck hiring from bottom of the pile because they don't know any better.04:34
doctormoresources*04:34
pleia2yeah, and so much red tape and bureaucracy so the people who can get contracts are stupid limited04:38
pleia2we're only there because we're volunteers04:38
doctormopleia2: I think I might be in a position with less red tape, only for the fact that BHA.IT=0, so they don't actually have any confidence either over their IT.04:43
doctormoBut that means that unscrupulous contracts can take advantage, another issue to raise the blood presure.04:44
pleia2yeah :\04:45
nigelbWell, I wish there was a place for open source people to be found for contracts.04:47

czajkowskiAloha09:22
nigelbAlanBell: ping, do you have the wiki scraping script you used the other day09:58
AlanBellhmm, I never finished that little project09:59
AlanBellthe wiki has throttling built in so it takes ages, all I did was get a list of all pages and wget them in a script09:59
AlanBellwget the raw page of each that is09:59
AlanBellhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/652995/10:01
nigelbaha, need to pass and emtpy user agent10:06
nigelbmy friend was trying something like this elsewhere and ran into similar issues10:06
AlanBellyes, the wiki blocks wget, so pretend to be something else10:36
nigelbheh10:37
kim0Howdy folks .. Would be interested in uploading Cloud-days sessions to the wiki, and linking them up to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCloudDays/Timetable10:52

jcastromorning13:01
nigelbGood morning jcastro. Internet etc all set?13:04
jcastronigelb: yep, all set!13:08
jcastrokim0: can you check the ensemble report?13:08
jcastroI think I got everything, just needs a once over13:09
kim0jcastro: yeah gimme a moment13:09
nigelbjcastro: \o/13:09
jcastrokim0: yeah no rush13:12
czajkowski*sigh*13:29
mhall119morning13:29
czajkowskiI do wish people wouldn't blame the Lc when we are trying to do stuff especially when it's not our fault and decisions were made without us13:30
jcastroI BLAME PAULTAG13:30
czajkowskijcastro: nope to be fair he's helping us, given we're getting the blame for something and trying to fix something that is't really a LC issue it's a LD issue13:31
czajkowskion the plus side yay for canonical for sponsoring oggcamp :)13:31
jcastroOMG13:41
jcastrohttp://randall.executiv.es/jam-o-meter13:42
jcastrothat is /brilliant/.13:42
jcastrodholbach: ^13:42
jcastroman, why didn't we think of that before13:42
paultagjcastro: always :)13:51
paultagJust got an android phone, first once since my G113:52
paultagit's nice. Comes with HTC crapware apps. I can't seem to uninstall them13:52
paultagguess that means it's time to root / hack the ROM13:52
jussipaultag: want a app recommendation?13:53
paultagHow stupid is that. I don't want your stupid apps, so I'm going to have to cause the phone to be in an unpredictable state. Gah.13:53
paultagjussi: yes, please!13:53
jussiviber :)13:53
paultagjussi: viber?13:53
paultagjussi: oh cool free calls and such13:54
paultagjussi: thanks :)13:54
jussipaultag: SIP, but linked to your phone number, auto populates contact via those that registered with their phone number against your phone book13:54
paultagjussi: radical, thanks man :)13:54
paultagI need to get star trek noises for the phone, at some point13:55
jussihehe13:55
paultagHTC Inspire, not a bad unit13:56
paultagI like phones that feel metal-ey13:56
kim0jcastro: I've added a few things to http://pad.ubuntu.com/ensemble-report14:02
jcastrooh man14:03
jcastroHow did I miss this services thing14:03
kim0jcastro: I also see a few new formulas couchdb, memcached, rabbitmq .. those should be mentioned right ?14:05
jcastroI can add them14:06
jcastrook I was having a hard time figuring out which formulas are new14:06
kim0couch is not really new .. just updated for port exposing14:06
jcastroI did sort my recently changed in principia14:06
kim0cool go ahead and add those then14:06
jcastrocool, then I just push it out on cloud.u.c?14:07
kim0yeah and tag with whatever tags + planet14:07
kim0so it goes to planet14:07
jcastroah, right14:08
jcastroone thing tumblr does that I wish wordpress did ootb14:09
jcastrois you can just publish things to a queue14:10
jcastroand then it times them out so they post evenly14:10
jcastrokim0: how did you determine the formulas to mention? Do you just manually go through them all and check them out or do you have a smart way?14:11
kim0jcastro: no smart way .. just sorting by last modified and the commit number helps to know if it's new or not :)14:13
* jcastro nods14:14
jcastrokim0: oh in the source tree? or in launchpad14:14
kim0just lp14:14
kim0there is no single source tree for formulas14:15
jcastrojuan made that list script14:15
jcastrobut I haven't tried it14:15
jcastroI must be missing something, I can't find the bugs for memached or rabbit14:16
kim0jcastro: just check out https://code.launchpad.net/principia14:18
kim0there might be no bugs indeed14:18
jcastroah right14:18
jcastroI was looking for the bugs for the list, I see where the formulas themselves are14:18
jcastroI'll just reformat it different.14:18
jcastrokim0: ok weird, can you try to do a fresh branch of principia?14:25
jcastroI get some dumb bzr/lp error14:25
kim0jcastro: there is none14:26
kim0principia is now a "distro" whatever that means .. there is no single source tree that has all formulas14:26
jcastrough14:26
jcastrocrap14:26
paultagjcastro: and what exactly would you do with sourcecode?14:27
jcastrosearch through logs, look at which ones are new14:28
jcastroread comments14:28
paultagcarry on14:28
jcastroI don't need to be a rocket scientist to read a bash script that says "apt-get -y install rabbitmq" :)14:29
paultagjcastro: well no, rocket scientists can't code. I'd not think you had to be14:29
paultagjcastro: a programmer, on the other hand?14:29
paultagperchance14:29
paultagsee? I'm being a snarky wiseass. It's how I get through the day14:30
jcastrokim0: the first few comments on that cloud post you linked to are hilarious14:30
kim0jcastro: heh yeah weirdo14:30
jcastrowordpress needs an etherpad plugin14:32
jcastroso people can work on the same article in WP instead of copying it over to WP14:32
paultaghummm14:32
paultagthat's actually not a bad idea14:32
paultagif etherpad was not in java, that'd work brilliantly14:32
paultagbut you'd be forced to run Tomcat and Apache, which I'm pretty sure even the NSA can't run14:33
paultagAlso, it'd throw a cross-site scripting shit-fit unless you can plumb a fake request server in front of it14:33
doctormopaultag: I recommend more fiber in your diet ;-)14:34
paultagdoctormo: :)14:34
doctormopaultag: Also, move etherpad to django, can't take more than 5 mins.14:35
jcastrokim0: ok all I need now is a catchy title14:35
paultagdoctormo: hehehe14:35
jcastrosomeone made etherpad-lite on node.js14:35
jcastroit looks pretty badass14:35
doctormoJob done, get it packaged and lets grab a drink.14:35
dholbachjcastro, yeah, I saw it - it's awesome14:35
kim0the creative bits again :)14:35
jcastrogot it!14:41

cjohnstoni thought there was15:34
jcastrojust a link15:34
jcastroeasy enough to add when we get there15:34
cjohnstonwell.. we were waiting on you to move to add it to summit15:35

cjohnstonso we left you alone15:36
cjohnston"waiting on you to move"15:36
dpmhi technoviking, do you know if is there an api or any way in which subforums from the Ubuntu forums can be shown from an external site? I.e. a wordpress site showing a view of the latest entries or something like that?15:44
nhandlerdpm: You could use a frame of some sort or use a script to screenscrape it15:47
