AlanBellpopey: Emmet Hikory doesn't expire until next year12:49
nigelbI did wonder about that.12:49
nigelbMaybe his term was for a year since he only stepped up for nixternal?12:49
dholbachAlanBell, nigelb is right - Emmet was picked from the elections results of the year before when nixternal stepped down12:52
dholbachthis was done to avoid having yet another election12:52
AlanBellok12:53
dholbachtechnically the "people's support" was for that term12:53
akgranerjussi - ok I think it's organized a bit better :-)  you can tell me if I missed something ...12:53
dholbachit was just never reflected in LP12:53
jussiakgraner: link me again?12:53
AlanBellI was just checking it was deliberate12:53

nigelbaha, 687.12:59
dholbach686 actually13:00
dholbachthere was scott and scott-canonical in there13:00

nigelbah.13:00
nigelblol13:00
dholbachif somebody wants to investigate, please do13:00
dholbachI just made sure he just has one vote :)13:00
nigelbI there was a work ID vs volunteering ID.13:01
nigelb*I guess13:01
nigelbwait a minute.13:01
nigelbscott-canonical?13:01
nigelbDoesn't exist.13:01
AlanBellah, yes 686, I counted the header row on my spreadsheet :)13:01

AlanBellI agree on the 68613:02
popeyahhh13:02
nigelbjussi: heh13:03
czajkowskiAlanBell: so outta the 686 how many are women ?13:45
pleia2czajkowski: 4.97%13:47
pleia2we keep track on http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/ReportingPage and http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/UbuntuMembers has stats13:47
czajkowskipleia2: deadly13:47
pleia2it's worth noting that those are only ones who people have met and/or who have come out in public somehow (blog, wiki testimonials, etc) with a female gender13:48
pleia2without a doubt (it's always the case in open source) there are members who haven't disclosed their gender13:49
czajkowskinods13:51
czajkowskiof course13:51
akgranerawesome stats!  Thanks AlanBell for tracking that....14:03
akgranerpleia2, I know this brings a smile to your face - Did you think it take this long to reach almost 5% when you were working to establish the UW Team...14:04
18VAACABTdholbach: question on the voting - if I rank 3 people #1, does that help or their chance, as opposed to ranking them 1, 2, 3?14:08
popeyit helps them compared to others :D14:08
18VAACABTpopey: ok, so it's better to have three #1s than ranking them 1,2,3, -thanks!14:09
popeydunno if it's "better"14:09
popeyit doesnt help in a runoff between them14:09
pleia2akgraner: we actually hit 5% last november and then it dropped :\ we're approaching 5 again14:10
popeybut i am not the best person to ask about condorcet voting14:10
popeythere's vast documentation about it online :D14:10
18VAACABTpopey: I'm used to the ones where you just rank the candidates in order, not rank them the same level14:11
popeyyeah, its different isnt it14:13
akgranerScott Richie is the one to ask about voting polls14:13
popeyfun though :D14:13
akgranerhe knows all the ends and outs of those things14:13
18VAACABThow many total places are going to be filled?14:13
popey714:14
popeyit says on the form :D14:14

erwarddholbach: hey14:21
erwardI was wondering if you had a minute14:21
dholbachheya erward14:21
dholbachsure14:22
czajkowskihmm every time I see erward I keep thinking of jedward http://www.google.co.uk/search?gcx=w&ix=c2&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=jedward14:22
czajkowskimost confusin14:22
erwardok, Jono has ask me for one of my upcoming action items to be...  "Creat a web page with a set of graphs and metrics to effectively determine growth."14:22
erwardhe mentioned you as a reference point for some existing work in this area14:23
* erward thinks about updating my handle to include a j in it14:24
czajkowski:)14:24
erwardczajkowski: I actually have the same hairstyle as those guys14:24
dholbacherward, I can help you set up a number of graphs, but I'd suggest having a chat with bdmurray first, because he has set up a bunch of bug-related graphs already14:24
erwardexcept it is on my back14:24
dholbachor was this more about testing?14:25
dholbachbecause in that case it'll be a bit harder because we can't (at least AFAIK) get data from iso.qa.ubuntu.com14:25
erwarddholbach: yeah it was for testing14:25
dholbachso yeah, it's hard to get data out of that thing :)14:26
dholbachbut generally it might make sense to first list numbers you'd like to track in the future14:27
czajkowskierward: you're not helping your case you know that right :)14:27
erwardI did talk with jibel a little bit about iso.qa.ubuntu.com and testing.qa.ubuntu.com and how it is pretty hard to track any useful reporting mechanisms14:27
* dholbach nods14:27
popeyI spy sabdfl monkeying with the cc and techboard on launchpad :D14:28
erwardwhich made me look into litmus (https://litmus.mozilla.org/run_tests.cgi)14:28
erwardhttps://litmus.mozilla.org/test_run_report.cgi?test_run_id=35514:28
dholbacherward, something like: number of tests/testers per cycle/milestone, test coverage per milestone, time to full test coverage per milestone, found bugs per milestone, etc14:29
erwardyeah, those sound about right for metrics to track14:29
dholbachif you can come up with a list of things you need from the site, we could try to find out what needs to be done to export this kind of data14:30
erwardok, thanks for the pointers and I'll continue to dig in further14:31
dholbacherward, and if it just spits out json or csv data, we could do the graphs separately14:31
erwardk14:32
czajkowskiHappy Ada Lovelace Day, in honor of the world's 1st programmer!14:33
pangolinI voted, good luck to all who are running for CC.14:45
czajkowskipangolin: Thanks14:45
pangolinalso, I know a good head shrink if you want :P14:46
AlanBellpleia2: with the stats, in the very few cases where it has been unclear I have spoken to the person in question, explained the context and asked them how they would like to be counted15:06
pleia2AlanBell: I've known women who use "obviously male" names in their open source work15:08
AlanBellyup, that can happen, interestingly the new forums members have been noticably different in the way they use their identity15:13
czajkowskitechincally speaking my nick is male15:17
czajkowskibut feck it by now ye all know me :)15:17
AlanBellfairly sure I have you classified correctly in the stats :)15:18
mhall119yeah, czajkowski is obviously male....15:18
mhall119(the nick, not the person)15:19
czajkowskimhall119: yup15:22
czajkowskimy nick on college network is cypher15:22
czajkowskiand still to this day most assume they are talking to a bloke15:22
czajkowskiwas funny when I'd turn up to events15:22
czajkowskior um.. run a computer society made up of blokes15:23
AlanBellhttp://ubingo.libertus.co.uk/  <- needs updating for the Precise Pangolin15:24
AlanBellum, is that actually working for people not in my house?15:25
popeyit works from here in your cupboard, yes15:26
* AlanBell checks outside the window to make sure popey isn't wardriving15:26
pangolinworks here AlanBell15:26
pangolinI'm in your shed though15:27
AlanBellOK, well you are far enough away pangolin, it must be working15:27
AlanBellit needs a graphical refresh I think15:27
nigelbsomehow I knew pangolin was idleone15:27
nigelbThough I did wonder why it wasn't PreciseOne15:27
pangolinnigelb: you know me so well :)15:28
pangolinI have that nick also15:28
pangolinhehe15:28
czajkowskiseriously I don wondering what mark does be on when he comes up with the flipping names15:28
popeyI like them.15:28
nigelbpangolin: hah15:28
pangolinI do also, learns me new animals15:28
AlanBellas I understand it the naming process goes like this15:29
popeypangolin is already an ubuntu hit on the first page of google15:29
popeywhereas it wasnt last week15:29
AlanBellsabdfl picks a name, then silbs tells him why he can't have that one and picks another15:29
pleia2anyone know the status of the RC? people keep asking me about it15:29
nigelbpleia2: No RC.15:30
pleia2nigelb: thanks15:30
nigelbpleia2: Nothing public, but there's some testing thing.15:30
nigelbOfficially though, no RC.15:30
pleia2nigelb: it's still on the release schedule so people are all confused15:30
AlanBelljust daily live15:30
AlanBello/ skaet15:31

pleia2one guy from my loco was waiting for it last night to burn for the ubuntu hour, he went with daily15:31
mhall119jcastro: ping15:31
dholbachjcastro, how about a developer session at UOW?15:45
nigelbI thought UOW was about using Ubuntu nowadays15:46
dholbachI'm just offering :)15:46
nigelbheh15:47
jussiwerent we getting rid of UOW?15:53
dholbachno way15:53
jussiwhich was the one that was supposed to die then?15:53
akgranerdholbach, we used to have them so I think it would be fine :-)  We have new users that want to know more about that stuff...kinda like a teaser for developer and app developer week15:54
akgranerbut that's just my thoughts15:54
pleia2jussi: user days, but we did a poll and people want us to keep it15:54
jussipleia2: oh, ok then15:54
jussiakgraner: ++, I think a beginners developer session would be perfect15:55
dholbachgreat, I guess I'll add myself then15:56
akgranerpleia2, I think people like the time zones UUD operates in and the fact that it's just one continual day...and on the weekend not weekday - so they don't have to miss work etc.15:56
pleia2akgraner: yep15:57
pleia2I made some slides for an upcoming 11.10 talk, anyone care to take a look to tell me if I missed anything obvious?15:57
pleia2(you'll have to ignore a unity jab at the beginning, I know my audience and it's a small group ;))15:57
