jcastrohey so, we had to give our cat away since we moved00:31
* pleia2 nods00:31
jcastroand jill doesn't want a new cat00:31
jcastroshe could only love him or some made up stuff00:31
pleia2aww00:31
jcastrobut I am home alone all day and I miss having a hunter on the premises.00:31
pleia2yeah, they are good company for work from homers00:32
pleia2my egyptian mau loves heat (maine coons are lovey, giant, snugglecats, but a bit fluffy for florida)00:33
jcastrolooks awesome00:34
jcastrothat mau00:34
pleia2or I can put a webcam up in my condo so you can enjoy my cats (but mostly they sleep, not hunt, not even pretend to hunt)00:35
jcastroright00:35
pleia2"hi, are you done with work? my food bowl has food in it but it's not fresh enough"00:35
jcastrobut that's a ploy00:35
jcastrothey can hunt00:35
jcastrothey're just waiting for you to put your guard down00:35
pleia2I don't know, my siamese makes some kind of chirping noise when she hunts bugs00:36
pleia2what kind of predator has a hunting *noise*?00:36
jcastroanyway jill is coming to UDS for the end00:36
jcastroI kind of need you to like, be all about cats00:36
pleia2lol00:36
jcastrobut not like, too strong, because she will know00:36
pleia2ok :)00:36
greg-ghilarious00:38
jcastroso we need a balance between00:38
jcastro"oh she understands, she has cats" vs. "omg I just met a crazy cat lady"00:38
jcastrobecause we adopted from a crazy cat lady00:38
jcastrowho had drawn on eyebrows00:39
pleia2haha, nice00:39
jcastroshe was basically a walking stereotype00:39
jcastrobut I don't dig this "I will only ever love one cat" business00:39
jcastroI mean, really ...00:39
Pendulumjcastro: would you like my help as well? I have lots of kitten pictures that I can show off at UDS00:39
jcastroah yes00:39
jcastroattack her from double fronts, awesome idea00:40
Pendulum(and this is the kitten I have now, 18 months after my "one cat" died)00:40
jcastrook so this time around, I think I want older kitten00:40
Pendulumso I can totally pull the "I wasn't sure I'd ever want a cat again after my first cat died" thing00:41
Pendulumolder kittens or adopting adult cats is good :)00:41
jcastroenough to imprint totally love, but not too young where he takes like, all day to take care of00:41
pleia2and destroys everything00:41
Pendulumincluding you00:41
Pendulum(love Scotia, but I do have puncture marks)00:42
pleia2yeah, there is sometimes blood with kittens :)00:42
jcastroone day he knocked over a pop on 2 of my laptops00:42
jcastrohe cost me like 2 grand00:42
jcastroI wanted to kill him00:42
pleia2ouch00:42
pleia2fortunately my cats mostly went after paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, tissues)00:43
pleia2confetti!00:43
jcastrohair ties00:43
pleia2rubber bands00:43
jcastrowhen we moved I loaded the couch onto a truck00:43

dpmdholbach_, what's the best way to keep a package that is not in the archive (e.g. in a PPA) under revision control?10:28
=== dholbach_ is now known as dholbach
dholbachdpm, which package is it?10:29
dholbachwhat do you have already? is its source in revision control? tarball releases? already in LP?10:30
dholbachdaily builds for example are just great10:30
dpmdholbach, I'm testing a package to create a localized ISO with the tools pitti created this cycle. The tools work with a 'defaults' package as a basis to create the iso, and that's the package I've just created. I don't have it under revision control, but I'll upload it to a PPA in a minute. I'll experiment with it and make changes, so I was wondering how I can best keep it under revision control.10:32
dholbachdpm, where is the source for the package, like the upstream source?10:33
dpmdholbach, right now locally (I've just created it), but let me upload it to a junk branch...10:33
* dholbach nods10:34
dholbachif you maintain it, you could just put all the bits and pieces (code and packaging) into a branch10:34
dpmdholbach, https://code.launchpad.net/~dpm/+junk/ubuntu-defaults-ca10:36
dpm(branch hasn't been scanned in LP yet...)10:36
dholbachyeah, put it all into an "official branch" and use https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/SourceBuilds/Recipes10:38
dholbachdpm, oh, and if you seem to have no local diff right now, please run "debclean; bzr commit -m 'removed automatically generated files'" :-)10:40

akgranerI want a new phone - I think I suffer from gadget envy :-)11:06
akgranerbut I can't justify why I need a new one...(yet)11:06
jussinot quite as fast as I would have liked - no dual core, and I would like a bigger screen, but otherwise everything is there11:06
akgranercool :-)11:09
jussiakgraner: and the keyboard is just beautiful11:11
akgranerso it looks!  Pete and Becca have the G2's and they love having the option of the keyboard- easier to send longer emails from you phone with...11:12

* akgraner wishes she had gone that route - as there are times when it would come in handy11:13
jussiakgraner: you know for next time :D11:13
akgranerjussi yep11:14
dpmdholbach, I read the recipes guide, and uploaded the package to my PPA. I'm getting a "Source/binary (i.e. mixed) uploads are not allowed." error from LP. What's a mixed upload? Is this something I need to fix with my package, or something I should ask the #launchpad guys about? I don't want to steal too much of your time for this, though, so unless it's something obvious, I can leave it for some other time11:16
dholbachdpm, in your branch run: bzr bd -- -S -sa11:17
dholbachthen: cd ..; dput <ppa-info> <packagesomethingbla>_source.changes11:17
dholbachoh no11:18

dholbachif you set up a recipe for the branch, you don't need to dput anything11:18

dpmhey dholbach, the guys from the web team have asked me if I could help them with this bug related to the CoC - do you happen to know which one of the 3 versions is the correct one? -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/86800912:44

dpmah, we've got ubot!12:44
dpmI'm guessing the ubuntu.com version should simply be updated to v1.1 (i.e. the one in LP)12:45
jussidpm: Im pretty sure you are correct there.12:48
dpmthanks jussi :) If anyone from the CC could give me an additional confirmation, that'd also be great. In any case, bbl, going for lunch now12:50

dpmdholbach, that's wednesdays, isn't it? I don't have any in my calendar13:44
dholbachhaha, yes, you're right13:45
dpmdholbach, but yeah, I told jono it's still be good to have the hangouts. I think IRC is great for getting more transparency and people joining in, but I miss the face time. Maybe we could do a combination of both? Like 30min IRC/30 min G+?13:47
dholbachI agree13:47
dholbachnot too much about the exact timing, but generally, yes13:48
dholbachthere are loads of new followers on @ubuntudev on twitter - I have no idea what just happened13:48

dpmjames_w, I don't think https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-translations-en-au-1204 should be a UDS session, it looks to me as an internal blueprint for the en_AU team. How did it get approved and visible in the scheduler?15:57
james_wdpm, someone proposed it for uds, and someone (maybe the same person) approved it15:58
james_wsomeone from https://launchpad.net/~uds-organizers will definitely have been involved, but it's a large team, so hard to know who to ask15:58
james_wsomeone in that team can reject it again15:58

doctormo-webbkerensa: May I recommend Vermont for the East Coast and the Red Wood forests for the west coast?21:22
jonoas a good example, I think lots of Ubuntu users will never go to Wikipedia21:22
jonoif the data came from Google, that *would* be interesting :-)21:22
