mhall119 | daker_: IIRC, the new license is just a BSD-ish license grant to Canonical | 00:46 |
mhall119 | it gives them the ability to relicense, but doesn't give them copyright ownership | 00:47 |
mhall119 | doctormo had a writeup about it on his blog | 00:47 |
mhall119 | nigelb: it's 6am, wake up | 00:47 |
cjohnston | lol | 01:15 |
mhall119 | nigelb: I want to write a blog post about summit, but i don't want to step all over your draft | 02:42 |
nigelb | mhall119: argh, right. Lets get together tomorrow in your am and finish it off? | 04:09 |

daker | it seems there are problems on cranberry | 12:01 |
nigelb | yeah, since yesterday | 12:07 |
mhall119 | nigelb: morning | 13:30 |
nigelb | mhall119: morning. I'll ping you when I get home and lets do this | 13:32 |
* nigelb is leaving work now-ish | 13:32 | |
mhall119 | nigelb: sounds good, thanks | 13:35 |
YoBoY | mhall119: what is a "Launchpad language team" ? | 16:33 |
mhall119 | YoBoY: a Launchpad team dedicated to a specific language | 16:34 |
mhall119 | like ~ubuntu-ftr | 16:39 |
mhall119 | fr | 16:39 |
YoBoY | hum... ok, so the bug is to find a way to link each language to one or more team on launchpad providing support or translation in that language ? | 16:51 |
mhall119 | the plan is to link to only one launchpad team per language | 16:53 |
mhall119 | is there a situation where we would need more than one? | 16:53 |
mhall119 | when I say "the plan" I mean "my plan", since there hasn't been any discussion yet on specific implementation | 16:54 |
nigelb | mhall119: 1-to-1 sounds wrong. | 16:55 |
YoBoY | if you plan to link to translation teams, they are all identified with a name like ubuntu-l10n-XX | 16:55 |
nigelb | Its alaways many-to-many | 16:55 |
nigelb | because a lot of countries might use one language | 16:55 |
nigelb | and a lot of languages might be used in country | 16:55 |
mhall119 | YoBoY: nigelb we're not linking country | 16:55 |
YoBoY | and for some languages there isn't one central point of support | 16:55 |
mhall119 | YoBoY: there isn't? | 16:55 |
mhall119 | YoBoY: can you give an example? | 16:56 |
cjohnston | no, because each team provides thier own.. like the spanish conversation on the LEP email | 16:56 |
YoBoY | I think spanish have more than one team providing support (perhaps i'm wrong) | 16:56 |
mhall119 | there isn't a spanish language team? | 16:56 |
mhall119 | what is ~ubuntu-es? | 16:57 |
cjohnston | mhall119: it seems teams dont want to do like english speaking teams do, where anyone who speaks english helps out | 16:57 |
nigelb | mhall119: YoBoY is right. | 16:57 |
nigelb | So will French | 16:57 |
cjohnston | that is the loco team of spain | 16:57 |
nigelb | Because French is spoken in Quebec as well as France | 16:57 |
nigelb | (and more) | 16:57 |
mhall119 | yeah, but ubuntu-fr is the official French Language team, isn't it? | 16:58 |
mhall119 | this has nothing to do with country or geographic location | 16:58 |
* nigelb reads again | 16:58 | |
mhall119 | this is linking the Language model in LD to a team in Launchpad that provides support and/or translations in that language | 16:59 |
nigelb | ah, +1 | 16:59 |
mhall119 | not a loco-team necessarily | 16:59 |
mhall119 | just a launchpad team | 16:59 |
nigelb | Sorry, I misunderstood. | 16:59 |
YoBoY | cjohnston: it's easy to help when everything is already here and there is people to take care of the health of the tools, more difficult when you have to start from scratch. | 16:59 |
cjohnston | you have to start from scratch at some point | 17:00 |
mhall119 | YoBoY: I'm going to be sending an email to the mailing list later today or tomorrow outlining LD's plans for supprting language | 17:00 |
YoBoY | mhall119: we are not the "official" we are just providing the best ressources and every other french team is fine with that | 17:00 |
YoBoY | (and help us now) | 17:00 |
mhall119 | YoBoY: if every other french team is fine with us linking to your team from the "French" languge record, then that's what we'll do | 17:01 |
YoBoY | yes sure, I think they don't complain for the french team, i was more thinking on other languages with no clear point to find support | 17:02 |
mhall119 | if there is no clear point, then we won't link to anything | 17:02 |
mhall119 | it'll be an optional field | 17:02 |
YoBoY | http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/locallanguage#spanish an example | 17:03 |
mhall119 | hmmm, might it be better to just link a Language to a URL, which can then be either an LP team, wiki page, or something else? | 17:03 |
YoBoY | but that's a good new fonctionality to add to the LTP and you have all my support (can give more ^^") | 17:04 |
YoBoY | perhaps an URL or a wiki page... | 17:04 |
mhall119 | YoBoY: can you comment on the bug about that? | 17:05 |
mhall119 | to make it a URL instead of an LP team | 17:05 |
mhall119 | I think that'll make it flexible enough to support more languages | 17:05 |
YoBoY | you know how I don't like launchpad, so having real pages to find the right ressources for me it's really better | 17:05 |
YoBoY | I add it | 17:05 |
mhall119 | added what?to https://bugs.launchpad.net/loco-directory/+bug/817086 ? | 17:06 |
ubot4 | Launchpad bug 817086 in loco-directory "Link languages to a Launchpad language team (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Wishlist,Confirmed] | 17:06 |
YoBoY | a comment | 17:07 |
YoBoY | wait, i'm writting it | 17:08 |
