cjohnstondholbach: I don't know.. I'm not sure why harvest has such a hard time12:22
AlanBellshould harvest have an a11y option?12:32
AlanBellas in limit to bugs tagged a11y12:32
dholbachAlanBell, bdmurray could help make that happen12:44
dholbachand/or a bug on lp:harvest-data12:44
dholbachgenerally I think it's great to make more use of the tags that we already have in LP12:44
dholbachalthough at some stage we'll need another layer of categorisation in data sources so it's easier to spot what you're looking for12:45

akgranerIs there some commandline magic to convert a pdf to an odt or doc file16:10
akgranercutting and pasting kinda stinks...16:11
mhall119akgraner: poppler-utils package has a pdftotext program16:13
akgranermhall119, thanks!16:13
mhall119np16:14
akgranerdropping it into googledocs and one cut and paste I found out works too :-) but I'd rather not do that with everything...:-/16:14
mhall119I don't know of one that'll convert txt to odt, but you can just open the txt in LibreOffice I think16:15
jcastrodaker_: do you happen to know how/why there is no link to older articles at the bottom of cloud.ubuntu.com?16:43
jcastrodaker: do you happen to know how/why there is no link to older articles at the bottom of cloud.ubuntu.com?16:47
technovikinghmmm.. should I use the Etherpad ppa or the repo from Etherpad?16:47
jcastroetherpad-lite charm!16:48
jcastroold etherpad = boo16:48
technovikingthere packages for etherpad lite?16:50
jcastrono, it's just node.js stuff16:51
jcastroI think there might be for 11.1016:51
dakerjcastro, that's what kim0/jono wanted16:53
dakerolder posts are in /planet16:53
jcastroah16:53
dakerjcastro, http://94.23.51.119:8000/16:54
jcastrois that an older one?16:55
dakerno a new one16:55
jcastrohmm, how does this relate to the web team's plan to redesign it?16:56
dholbachalright my friends - I call it a day - see you all tomorrow17:01
dpmsee you dholbach, about to call it a day here too!17:02
dakerit's my own work, the mockups are made by Mat Tomaszewski from canonical17:02
jcastroah ok17:02
jcastroThey want to redo them17:02
jcastrowant me to bring you into the plan, etc.?17:02
jcastrothere's like new people on the web team and I don't think they know who you are17:03
jcastrodaker: also, how can I modify the theme? We'd like to just make anything tagged "cloud" be featured.17:09
jcastroI see the page and theme file in wordpress, but it says I need to make the file writeable17:09
dakerjcastro, ok17:09
jcastrobecause the people being syndicated always forget to tag it "featured"17:09
jcastroso we thought just making the whole thing "cloud" will get them on the planet and the front page at the same time17:10
dakerjcastro, the IS won't give you write access to the files17:10
jcastrook, so if I need to make a change I need to file a ticket?17:10
dakerso i need to make the changes on my branch17:11
jcastrooh ok17:11
jcastroso basically on this page: Ubuntu Cloud/uecv2: page-home.php17:12
jcastro                <?php query_posts('tag=featured&showposts=5&orderby=ASC'); ?>17:12
jcastrosub featured for "cloud" should do it right?17:12
jcastrohey so should I just file bugs on this?17:12
dakerjcastro, wait, so i'ill be like this :17:13
daker<?php query_posts('tag=cloud&showposts=5&orderby=ASC'); ?>17:13
daker?17:13
dakers/i/it17:13
jcastroright17:13
jcastrothat would automagically put any post tagged "cloud" on the front page right?17:13
dakeryep17:14
dakeronly 5 posts17:14
jcastroperfect17:14
jcastroShould I file bugs for the rest of the feedback we got during UDS?17:15

jcastrono need for old etherpad any more19:04
czajkowskiat times like this I really want to be able to go to a firing range. I'm sure it would be very useful19:05
pleia2it is, but I've found the going to the gym to be similarly useful (and cheaper! and is good for my health!)19:09
snap-ljcastro: If I never have to type in BBCode ever again, it'll be too soon.19:43
AlanBelltechnoviking: have you been playing with etherpad-lite?19:48
