cjohnstonpleia2: did you get my email today?01:14
pleia2cjohnston: yeah, and I forgot about the superbowl :) I don't care but it does mean sports bars are out and some people might not come out01:47
pleia2cjohnston: if it's ok I'll push an update to the -us-ca list and we'll start planning something01:47
cjohnstonsounds good01:50
pleia2cool01:50
pleia2I'll cc: you on it, how many people on your side do you think will come?01:50
cjohnstonno idea.. im trying to figure out if I'm allowed to send an email out to everyone01:51
pleia2ok, I think we should both stress it's sort of an ubuntu friends meetup so we don't get like 50 people coming to a small venue01:52
pleia2plus I need to know about venue size :)01:52
pleia2I don't actually know the area down there all that well so I'll be feeding info you give me to others who are01:53
pleia2k, sent01:57
pleia2can I fix a typo on http://uds.ubuntu.com/travel/ or is this in RCS that I need to be aware of?02:00
pleia2one of our more... enthusiastic loco members went through the whole site and sent me a massive email telling me everything that's wrong with it02:01
pleia2(I intend to ask him to submit bugs for most of these)02:02
mhall119pleia2: do you have access to the site?02:05
mhall119if not, send me the list and I'll update it02:05
pleia2mhall119: yes, I have access02:05
mhall119you should be fine to make any necessary changes then02:07
pleia2great, thanks02:07
mhall119thank you :)02:08
pleia2mhall119: do you know anything about the hotel itself? he pointed out that the conference is in City Center http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/oakdt-oakland-marriott-city-center/ but when you click through to reserve a room it sends you to Downtown: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/oakcd-courtyard-oakland-downtown/02:10
pleia2they aren't far from each other, but they are different hotels02:10
mhall119pleia2: I don't, but marianna probably does02:16
pleia2ok, thanks :)02:16
mhall119np02:16
pleia2ok, email sent off to marianna, once I hear back we'll probably want to update the page to mention they don't have the same address so people don't try to check into the wrong hotel when they arrive :)02:34
pleia2also, sheesh UDS isn't until May! my loco people are so excited already, I still haven't gotten over SCALE...02:35
pleia2loco loco...02:35
nigelbpleia2: heh02:50
mhall119pleia2: it is exciting to have UDS in your own backyard03:13
pleia2indeed :)03:14
nigelbmhall119: quick question03:30
nigelbHave you ever seen this -> 'LazySettings' object is unsubscriptable03:30
nigelbHappens when I try to do this ->     filename = '%s/%s_%s' % (settings['UPLOAD_DIR'], int(time()), f.name)03:31

doctormonmhall119: Did the Precise issues for Singlet get fixed?13:23
mhall119doctormon: yes they did :)13:23
mhall119version 0.2.1 is the latest, it works in Precise and supports external Scopes now too13:24
doctormonWhat are external scopes?13:24
mhall119scopes that exist outside of their lens13:25
mhall119like add-ons to lenses, that can be written seperately13:25
mhall119doctormon: http://mhall119.com/2012/01/singlet-part-0-2/13:26
doctormonIs this an architectural thing or is it useful for the developer to understand?13:26
mhall119singlet?13:27
mhall119or that blog13:27
dpmdholbach, I saw on the UDW announcement that we're recommending Lernid again?13:32
dholbachdpm, hum, I tried it and it worked for me?13:34
mhall119yeah, someone had been doing some work to get it fixed up13:34
dpmdholbach, I haven't tried it myself. I'm writing a blog post on d.u.c about UDW and I was just wondering if I should recommend it too13:35
mhall119dpm: someone made an interesting suggestion on G+, can we post links to the classroom logs on d.u.c?13:36
mhall119it seems that they might be a good learning resource, as good as tutorials sometimes13:37
dpmmhall119, it's a good idea, but I think I'd prefer having full-blown tutorials about writing apps in there. We're already struggling trying to make people understand developing _the_ platform and _for_ the platform, and having links to topics related to creating and maintaining Ubuntu might confuse app developers, who are a different audience.13:42
mhall119dpm: how much of developing _the_ platform is on d.u.c?13:43
dpmmhall119, right now, there isn't any info on that apart from the packaging guide13:44
mhall119I know that unity.u.c has info for development of Unity itself13:45
dpmand another page pointing the difference between making the platform and developing the platform, where we encourage people to join the effort13:45
mhall119it's probably best to keep d.u.c as _for_ the platform13:45
dpmyeah13:45
mhall119dpm: I've just shared a google doc with you13:46
mhall119I'm working on re-structing unity.u.c/get-involved13:46
mhall119if you have any suggestions or insights13:47
dpmmhall119, ah, cool, thanks. Let me finish this blog post and I'll have a look.13:47
jussican someone zap jono when he comes in - I need to talk to him13:49
mhall119like,with a cattle prod or something?13:50
* mhall119 gets out his Ubuntu branded tazer13:51
doctormonmhall119: The scopes/lens relationship, is it important for developers of lenses to know if they're using singlet?13:53
doctormonjussi: Impossible! No known force can get jono out of bed at 4am ;-)13:54
mhall119doctormon: yeah, it's pretty foundational13:55
jussidoctormon: heh...13:55
doctormonSo what's the rationale?13:55
dholbachmhall119, james_w, if one of you feel a bit bored some time and want to help me out with harvest, you could have a look at two really small merge proposals, which will hopefully get harvest working again :-)  http://pad.lv/mps/harvest13:56
mhall119doctormon: lenses describe the categories and filters for content13:56
mhall119doctormon: scopes find the content and send it to the lens13:57
doctormonmhall119: Thanks, I know you've described that to be before.13:57
doctormonSo Scopes are Lens-Sources and Lenses are Scope-Displays. Sort of the view and controller of the MVC framework.13:58
mhall119doctormon: we have it written down now too, one second..13:58
mhall119doctormon: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Lenses/Guidelines13:59
mhall119doctormon: yeah, you've got the idea13:59
dpmdholbach, I've just seen this. It might be interesting as a countdown to each one of the UDW days in the developers FB page13:59
mhall119doctormon: btw, there will be an hour lens session at 190013:59
dpmhttp://timeanddate.com/facebook/countdown.html13:59
dholbachnice14:00
dholbachfor today though I guess I'll let the opportunity pass14:00
dholbachand concentrate on getting my session content together ;-)14:01
* dpm hugs dholbach :)14:01
mhall119doctormon: yeah, so Lens==view, Scope==controller (model is the variables passed to the API)14:01
* dholbach hugs dpm back14:01
doctormonmhall119: In my head the model is actually what ever database you're backing onto.14:02
mhall119Unity has a Results model14:02
mhall119that the scope populates, and the lens displays14:02
doctormonmhall119: You just said "form is the aspects passed to the shape" lol14:03
mhall119I did?14:04
doctormonBut that results model is just an internal api, not useful for conceptualisation?14:04
mhall119no, it's useful for conceptualizing too14:04
mhall119you just don't interact with it much, and you can't extend it14:05
doctormonso it's more of a pipe, not much of a model.14:07
mhall119I think it's an actual model internally, but for a scope author it's just a variable you call .append() on and pass a handful of strings to14:10
doctormonmhall119: OK so for my MVC analogy, it's just some internal ruffage.14:11
mhall119yup14:11
nigelbmhall119: Yeah, I figured it out :)14:44

dpmok, coming over16:19
balloonsdoctormon, for South Florida, you count the harershness of winter by the number of days it doesn't break 70.. so yes, 68 is sweater weath16:22
balloons*weather16:22
doctormonballoons: Yes as I understand it you might as well be in the south of spain or marrocco.16:22
balloonssouthern spain would be lovely16:23

dholbachjames_w, you're a hero17:05
james_wdholbach, what was the other?17:05
dholbachjust the two on https://code.launchpad.net/harvest/+activereviews17:06
james_wdholbach, is the other crashing on numbers?17:08
dholbachjames_w, I had the packageset object already, which I normally would have just removed like: bla.remove(packageset)17:09
dholbachinstead I did: bla.remove(PackageSet.objects.get(name=packageset))17:09
james_wsorry, I mean the unicode one17:09
dholbachwith name (string) = (object) - which was rather horrible and embarrassing :)17:10
dholbachah, hang on17:10
dholbachjames_w, in the past it tried to convert a <unicode> back to <str>17:10
dholbachthat's why I put the type check in place17:10
james_wshouldn't it be always setting it to unicode now?17:11
dholbachtheoretically it shouldn't hurt to do that :)17:12
james_wdholbach, I think it looks ok, but I'd lean towards to just unicoding everything17:15
james_wthere's probably something I'm missing though17:15
dholbachjames_w, I'll test it :)17:16
dholbacha bit of unicodification never hurt anyone, right?17:16
james_wheh17:16
dholbachjames_w, I updated it to "unicode everything" :)17:24

dholbachbye :)17:42
jonomhall119, so in terms of the bugs lens17:53
jonomy thinking is that it could be new way in which people find bugs17:53
jonoso they can filter by bitesize, or possibly even by package17:53
jonoor subscribe to certain packages and it will display bugs for those packages17:54
jonoor possibly even filter by types of bugs (e.g. bitesize, has a patch, sponsorship queue bugs etc)17:54
mhall119jono: ok17:55
jonomhall119, I think this would need some careful design consideration17:55
jonobut it could potentially be the new way in which people find and fix bugs17:55
mhall119I know doctormon had talked about wanting a broader launchpad lens17:56
mhall119not sure if he's started one yet or not17:57
jonoI am wondering if it would make sense to have lenses by content type - e.g. a lens for bugs, one for code, one for translations17:57
jonoand then it could include other source such as bugtrackers17:57
jonoI love this because it could integrate the development experience neatly into Unityu17:58
jonoI love this because it could integrate the development experience neatly into Unity17:58
mhall119we could make a generic developer lens17:58
mhall119with categories for bugs, branches, translations17:58
mhall119and scopes for LP, github, bitbucket etc17:59
mhall119instead of separate lenses17:59
jonomhall119, oh I see so you would filter by development type18:00
mhall119yup18:00
jonobut could I select Bugs as a filter and then it display filter options specific to bugs?18:01
jonootherwise there be18:01
jonootherwise there be hundreds of filter options18:01
mhall119you can expand the Bugs category18:01
mhall119yeah, filters might make it complicated, I haven't done much with them yet18:01
jonomy hunch is that we might need different lenses for bugs, code, translations e.g18:02
jonoand I think code and translations would not really need a lens18:02
jonobut bugs would, because people search bugs lists all the time18:02
AlanBellthis will make launchpad cry a bit18:04
* AlanBell still wants to know how to do a lens that asks for a username and password18:05
popeyAlanBell: store credentials in the gnome keyring?18:15
AlanBellhow do I ask for them?18:16
AlanBellif the user gives me their username and password I can put that in gnome-keyring and get it back next time. Cool. It is the first part I am stuck on18:17

doctormonmhall119: Who's the dude who looks after developing for launchpadlib?23:34
doctormonI'm getting really frusrated with the launchpad documentation. All I want is the API doc and it's hidden behind layers and layers of howtos... It sounds odd but there's just too much documentation.23:35
