[00:00] wat [00:04] jono: who is Brandon that helped you with your CSS stuff? [00:06] cjohnston, is goes back to when I joined Ubuntu [00:06] used to be quite involved in Kubuntu afaik [00:06] gotcha... we need CSS help, so I was wonderin.. :-) [00:07] cool :-) [00:07] there were a few people who volunteered help on that post [00:08] jono: let them know that there's plenty of opportunity for web folks who want to contribute to Ubuntu projects [00:09] ya.. [00:10] will do [00:10] you guys should reach out to them though [00:10] encourage them to help [00:10] I'm on your blog looking [00:12] cjohnston: you mean: "I'm on yer blogs stealin your contributors" [00:13] he already got his help [00:13] maybe he should blog about us needing help :-P [00:15] cjohnston, lol [00:15] jono: http://amoz.dyndns.org:8080/ [00:16] cjohnston, nice work! [00:16] Amoz_: ^^ [00:16] jono: Amoz_ has done most of it. New dev for us! woot! [00:17] nice! :-) [01:19] jcastro: Subway coming soon [01:19] :D [01:19] jcastro: do I need to push a nodejs and npm charm first? [01:19] bkerensa: sandwiches? [01:20] and then use a Subway charm to deploy nodejs, npm and mongodb? [01:20] mhall119: Subway IRC [01:20] :D [01:20] oh [01:20] https://github.com/thedjpetersen/subway/ [01:20] hey bkerensa [01:21] cprofitt: hello [01:21] saw you comment in the street team thread [01:21] cprofitt: yes [01:21] I think you are on target; I am trying to help guide him towards something symbiotic [01:22] cprofitt: What he wants to do seems duplicative of the role of a Ubuntu LoCo [01:22] He has a great deal of enthusiasm, but has not been exposed to the other community teams as much [01:22] so I will also try to get him exposed to them as well [01:22] bkerensa: yes, as he explained it that would be accurate [01:23] Excellent... We can always use more enthusiasm :) [01:23] in our in-person discussions his ideas have been a bit more symbiotic [01:23] his general idea is to have 'experts' at working with festivals and concerts... that can help loco teams make contact [01:23] Too some degree we do things like that in the Pacific Northwest.... Washington LoCo comes down and tag teams big events with us [01:24] from what we talked about he still wants the LoCo team to actually provide the man power, but from what he says he has experience with community festivals, etc [01:24] and wants to provide that expertise beyond just NY State [01:24] Interesting [01:24] as you likely are... I am not sure that amounts to another team... [01:25] but the idea of having experts to assist with that seems valid [01:25] I, for one, have no idea how to approach a community music festival beyond just asking straight out [01:25] so if there is some 'secret sauce' that would be good information [01:26] I have fancied the idea of a Ubuntu Community Tour.... The likelihood of that ever coming to fruition is slim but we are hoping to start doing a regional roadtrip to all Linux events by renting vans [01:26] that sounds cool [01:26] cprofitt: Well I know in France the LoCo has a Internet Cafe setup at a major music festival [01:26] with three kids and a full-time job my chances of doing some road tour is likely slim [01:26] +1 on France [01:26] they have a huge huge tent that has Ubuntu designs and have workstations and everything [01:27] +1 on an Internet Cafee too [01:27] I think LoCo's in Europe have much more capital though since from what I hear they are corporations and have bank accounts and actually sell stuff? [01:27] * cprofitt nods [01:27] yes, in the US we have stayed away from that [01:27] Indeed... It causes too many issues [01:28] Who will take liability etc etc and transparency [01:28] yep [01:28] 2/w 26 [01:28] I have been waiting now for three months for Yahoo to approve a series of talks.... the problem were running into is Insurance [01:28] and liability [01:28] =/ [01:28] It was supposed to happen in February and now its stalled due to liability but we shall see [01:29] I introduced my son to the Software Center today [01:29] yeah... I have two other computer groups near me that are 501(c)3... I use them as an umbrella in such cases [01:29] mhall119: what was his feedback? [01:29] :D [01:29] bkerensa: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xword/+bug/953560 [01:29] Launchpad bug 953560 in xword "xword doesn't come with any puzzles" [Undecided,New] [01:29] he wanted me to install new games, I told him to find some himself [01:29] all he needed me for was my password to install xword [01:30] unfortunately xword didn't give a nice first impression [01:30] cprofitt: Well we only really have one 501(c)3 in Oregon that would be aligned with our efforts but the problem is they are a bureaucracy greater then the federal government because they have no director and are totally organic in decision making [01:30] he's also still on 10.04, so pretty old USC [01:30] so getting approval for things is chaotic at best because everyone in their org has to agree and have input [01:31] bkerensa: but the actual finding and installing was a breeze, he browsed through several games before picking one to install [01:31] Hmm [01:31] so, USC: So easy, a 7 year old can do it [01:31] :D [01:31] mhall119: should start a ad campaign [01:31] mhall119: my four year old does it too... [01:31] If I was more creative I would [01:32] though she still needs dad's credentials [01:33] there are times that I am shocked at how well kids adapt... and just learn [01:33] then again since I have three I am growing used to it... kids are amazing [01:40] mhall119: is that your youngest? [01:45] cprofitt: oldest [01:45] my daughter hasn't shown as much interest in the computer, despite all my best efforts [01:46] all three of mine show interest... with little trying on my part. [01:46] It helps that each have their own PC [01:46] she'd just rather be playing with a person than a machine I think [01:46] it was easier for the younder ones I think... they had their older sister to follow [02:19] bkerensa, we have a node charm [02:19] you just need to depend on it === jalcine is now known as webjadmin_ === fenris is now known as Guest47264 === jalcine is now known as webjadmin_ [06:16] night all! [06:45] jcastro: what version of nodejs does it install? hopefully not the version in our repos [06:45] because our nodejs is way outdated [06:47] jcastro: subway is greenlight :) let me tidy it up and push it tomorrow [08:02] good morning [08:20] good morning dholbach [08:20] hi inetpro [08:22] good morning [09:09] jussi01, I'm on G+ already [09:09] just with a different email address [09:09] huh? oh [09:09] silly g+ email everyone when I make a new circle :( [09:10] is dpm on holidays? slacker!

[09:43] eh, wrong room [09:59] AlanBell: what or wher eod people request the offical ubuntu bot? [09:59] #ubuntu-irc [10:00] thanks [10:03] AlanBell: can you find out if one is on its way for ubuntu-website ? [10:03] please === sagaci_ is now known as sagaci [11:05] Congratulations jokerdino, you're LP has been updated :) [11:06] dholbach, I submitted my first merge proposal last night. I think I did it right - cjohnston and nigelb helped me out when I got stuck on committing it and pushing it back up. Set the CC to the reviewer and emailed the list this morning. Hope that helps. [11:06] akgraner, you're a hero! :) [11:08] dholbach, nah - but I learned vim and emacs aren't so easy if you've never used them before - but I got it worked out :-) And the bzr instructions aren't *that* hard. I don't know I was hesitant to learn that stuff? [11:08] :) [11:10] akgraner: developer in no time [11:10] is there anything akgraner cant do? [11:10] soon the kernel patches will be flowing... [11:11] jussi01, um no - I've been ban from that area. Some other graner says to stay off of his cloud :-P [11:12] akgraner: aww :P [11:13] jussi01, no not really, as I am testing some kernels not b/c once again my machine is overheating with the beta release hitting upwards of 90 degrees Celsius and shutting down [11:13] s/not/now [11:27] thanks a lot head_victim ! [11:27] * jokerdino just came back from dinner. [11:28] jokerdino: productive day eh :) [11:31] i would like to think so haha. :D === jalcine is now known as webjadmin_ [12:22] http://bootswatch.com/united/ [12:22] looks very ubuntu [12:45] nigelb: I assume that was intentional === webjadmin_ is now known as jalcine [13:34] Why do we need to be saved from Bootstrap? [13:40] mhall119: Yeah. I also see the play with United. Unity. ubuntu meaning unity and all that [13:47] nigelb: is that link yours? it looks improper on Konqueror over here :? [13:48] jalcine: I only found it. I don't control the content. [13:48] Ah, well, it's a very good idea. But it doesn't pass W3C tests ;) [13:51] Well, the one thing that it doesn't pass is because it's a template [13:51] Otherwise, everything seems to pass. [14:06] hmm really need to spring clean and reorganise my bookmarks [14:06] most messy [14:06] Hello. [14:09] hi s-fox :D [14:09] hang on brb [14:17] Welcome back nothingspecial :) [14:17] thanks s-fox [14:18] test [14:19] hmm, my apport is overzealous today [14:19] told me my irc client crashed [14:19] and yet here I am [14:21] jcastro, I think you passed :D [14:49] dholbach, meeting in 10 right? [14:49] IRC ftw? [14:49] jcastro, IRC? [14:49] :-P [14:49] yes [14:56] jcastro: I have an idea how to get outdated forums posts out of Google search without deleting or reducing post count, emailing you and FC. [14:56] I thought we were going to upgrade to 4.x [14:57] and then figure out a way to have community people flag or something [14:57] we are, but till then [14:57] technoviking, ohh.. interesting [14:57] I could have sworn joeb did this before we left [14:57] I remember testing it with him [15:00] mhall119, dholbach, balloons, jcastro all set? [15:00] yep [15:01] #startmeeting [15:01] Meeting started Tue Mar 13 15:01:01 2012 UTC. The chair is jono. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology.

[15:01] ready [15:01] unfortunately our brother in wiki pages dpm won't be joining us today as he is off work [15:01] so, let's get this baby on the road [15:01] ...first up... [15:02] ...a man few understand, but all cherish....dholbach! [15:02] buenos días! [15:02] ☺ Dev initiatives: announced G+ Hangouts for Thursday. Held hangout sessions, very refreshing. Put together list of simple tasks for Fix-It Friday - had a great Friday. Put together a plan for "User Testing for Ubuntu Development", wrote announce, discussed with Jono, set up IMAP box for team, reached out to a couple of folks who might be interested, about to mail Ubuntu Developers. [15:03] (I'm really excited about the User Testing!) [15:03] ☺ Dev Advisory Team: put some automatic lists for the team together. Experiments with Trello API are ongoing. Awesome work by Andrew SB to put tasks to Trello board super easily. Mailed lots of contributors. Marcin Juskiewicz became MOTU. Adam Gandelman and Björn Michaelsen are up for the next DMB meeting. [15:03] Dev Advisory Team Comments of the week: [15:03] - "Ubuntu is my passion and I like to work on it in my free time, after the school. I'm happy to fix the user problems... I don't know why but I like this :P" [15:03] - "Generally my experience has been very positive. Once I decided to work on the Ubuntu version of the resolvconf package I quickly came into contact with the involved Ubuntu developers. I found them very cooperative and effective. Ubuntu is well equipped. I have no suggestions for improvement." [15:04] - "everything is meticulously documented which makes life easier for new contributors. " [15:04] - "I think the most positive part of the experience to date has been the realization that the Ubuntu community cares enough to engage in this kind of feedback solicitation. That is simply unparalleled in other projects, and a testament to the many solid reasons so many prefer Ubuntu." [15:04] :-) [15:04] ☺ Sponsoring: Planned next month of sponsoring. Put a bit of work in simplification of Sponsoring Overview Code. [15:04] ☺ Dev News: Got another update out. [15:04] ☺ Dev Docs: Discussions about i18n of Packaging Guide. [15:04] ☺ Admin: filed expenses, planned travel to UDS. [15:04] ☺ CC: worked on new revision of Code of Conduct. [15:04] That's it. [15:05] jcastro: I will re-check that in admincp [15:05] the revision looks good too! [15:05] cprofitt, yeah, probably just a bit more polish and we're all set :) [15:05] dholbach: got akgraner using bzr now too :) [15:05] dholbach, love the quotes [15:05] ah, thanks for your help then, mhall119! [15:06] technoviking, hey, we are in a meeting right now [15:06] dholbach: I didn't do anything [15:06] balloons, yeah - the d-a-t is simply the most uplifting thing I work on this cycle :) [15:06] can you discuss that in PM? [15:06] thanks dholbach! [15:06] dholbach: +1, it's always nice to hear people happy with what we're doing [15:06] always wonderful to hear about positive community experiences [15:07] any more questions for dholbach? [15:07] dholbau5! \o/ [15:07] that's it! I'm moving to Mint! [15:07] lol [15:07] ...alrighty! next up....

[15:08] This week brought to you by Hemispheres: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAZXGjoQTzw [15:08] (Like this status report, an epic tale of the heart and mind) [15:08]

[15:09] Subway is a slick IRC client in nodejs and uses mongo [15:09] so it'll be a cool charm [15:09] - Marco's finishing up Redmine [15:09] - A bunch of boolean fixes due to changes in trunk, don't panic! [15:09] - Charm School yesterday in Santa Clara, waiting for the feedback, also waiting on the feedback from the webinar so I can follow up with people. [15:09] - Still waiting on the charm store and constraints (Yargh!) [15:10] ok that's it for juju [15:10] ## Other [15:10] - Forums 4.x testing upgrade actually worked, need to nail down schedule for production upgrade. [15:10] - Summit hosting for Plumbers done, just needed an account to charge it to, we should be handing this off RSN. Thanks m_3 and cjohnston! [15:10] - Chasing down a wireless bug with my kernel, the experience has been fun. The kernel guy posts debs, I test them, report back, really awesome: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/937118 [15:10] Launchpad bug 937118 in linux "Wireless stops passing packets" [High,Confirmed] [15:10] - Mailed agent but he can't book our tickets yet, says he's waiting for the signal from Marianna? [15:10] - Am I not doing something you would like to see done? Check out my trello boards: http://strapello.com/user/jorgecastro [15:10] - It would be nice if I started doing openweek planning this week, slacker. [15:10] Questions? [15:11] complaints? [15:11] shower of gifts? [15:11] yay summit charm! [15:11] * balloons slects gifts [15:11] your 18m08s song is still playing :-P [15:11] any questions for jcastro? [15:11] It's epic [15:11] if no one has had the "jcastro" experience with devs, bugs and ubuntu I recommend it [15:11] jcastro: you ended right as the lyrics on your song started, did you plan it that way? [15:12] it's awesome [15:12] +1 for ubuntu community [15:12] it's a rush song, it's supposed to be like a 20 minute intro [15:12] I'll be honest, this is the first time I've played your background track, it really does add to the bullets :) [15:12] hah [15:12] is it the Benny Hill music? [15:12] :-) [15:12] Net boy [15:12] Net girl [15:13] :-) [15:13] ...alrighty! next up.... [15:13] ...no bug is safe, so checkbox test cannot be written...balloons! [15:13] hehe [15:14] I have been prepping (mentally!) for being a track lead at UDS Q. If your interested in QA and ubuntu, this is going to be the track for you. There are many plans and items to discuss and our future direction is very much on the table. If you can, plan to attend remotely or physically :-) [15:14] or both [15:14] In addition, my future self is already looking forward to the new ubuntu swag and seeing everyone again (in a non-cold environment) [15:15] mhall119, ^^ ohh [15:15] Started looking at http://results-tracker.ubuntu.com/ to parse the beta1 tests results. Completed a proof of concept to grab your avatar if you submitted tests :-) Still learning launchpad api, and working on the counts from beta1. Expect to see a blog post this week following up. Additionally, looking to expand on the data we can view inside the tracker. [15:16] Working on case conductor again with the ubuntu-one team. Ran into some roadblocks with the source code, as well as the server we attempted to deploy on. The Case conductor code should be stabilized and released at the end of march / early april so we are still on schedule for having a stable build ready when the code is complete. [15:17] I updated the wiki and wrote new pages outlining the testing strategy for the rest of the precise cycle. This includes writeups on asking for testing from a developer perspective, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/CallforTesting, as well as a user perspective. [15:17] * balloons is glad his IRC client has spellcheck [15:17] Began process of migrating the checkbox app testing to checkbox-qt. Looking to add in automagical bug reporting when a test is recorded as failing among other niceties. There is still time to get your application tests in for beta2, so merge requests are always accepted ;-) [15:18] spelling niceties.. hmm, still looks off.. niceties.. fun word [15:19] I revisited my survey of the ubuntu qa landscape, and played with a cool new tool someone shared with me.. Let me find the link... [15:19] Check it out if your into Qa tools: http://sikuli.org/.. Thoughts on how it might help ubuntu QA are welcome. [15:20] Sikuli is awesome [15:21] yes it is very cool.. and very oriented to the common user [15:22] you can automate tasks using make sense to you as a human, and have the computer give you feedback.. Very graphical and intitutive [15:22] and that is it for balloons [15:23] alright! [15:23] any questions for balloons? [15:24] \o/ [15:25] ok [15:25] ...next up.... [15:25] ...one way or another, you are contributing to Unity if this guy gets his way....mhall119! [15:25] lol [15:25] heh [15:25] it's funny because it's true [15:25] :-) [15:25] :) [15:26] yeah, he joined another network to help someone to fix something in unity. [15:26] I have a short list this week, but I promise I've been hard at work (except Friday) [15:26] a likely story [15:26] :-) [15:26] * graphics design lens has passed moderation using the ARB's new process after some fine-tuning, more scopes are in-queue, and more to come [15:26] it hasn't landed in USC yet, it's now in the "QA queue", but it was voted on and approved [15:27] hopefully future scopes/lenses won't take quite so long [15:27] * quickly-unity-lens-template landed in universe!!! [15:27] woo! [15:27] nice [15:27] I'll be writing another step-by-step tutorial for writing lenses/scopes for Precise, then look out! [15:28] * gathered, wrote, edited, formatted developer documentation for Unity integration [15:28] ^^ this took up the bulk of my time this week, but we're 99% done now [15:28] hopefully they will go live this week when dpm gets back [15:28] I also have a new-found respect for anybody who produces technical documentation for us [15:29] and a new-found disrespect for the answer "just read the header file" [15:29] :( [15:29] mhall119: http://www.dexy.it/ for all your documentation needs :) [15:29] * edit-patch fixes landed in Precise *and* Debian [15:29] :-D [15:30] czajkowski: will it write the content for me? [15:30] czajkowski, unfortunately Dexy won't write our docs for us :-) [15:30] hah, great minds :-) [15:30] or, sarcastic minds :-) [15:30] edit-patch fix is my first actual submission to Debian to get accepted [15:30] jono: it's a fine line between greatness and sarcasm [15:31] :-) [15:31] * blogged instructions for converting bzr MPs into package patches [15:31] will be following up with the submitted branches that haven't landed yet to see about getting them converted [15:31] mhall119: it will do a lot of the automation of it expecially if you are taking scren captures and adding in code :) [15:32] we've had several quicklist and keywords branches land in Precise already [15:32] I got an email the other day from one of the contributors saying: [15:32] "But I am attaching a pic of the update manager showing the update I made. I was so happy to see it! Thanks for your help/ " [15:32] made my day :) [15:33] nice! :-) [15:33] * Spent Friday at LegoLand with my son, I'm thinking it's time to start playing with the Mindstorm stuff [15:33] czajkowski, the challenge with the docs not around the formatting really, just getting some human-readable docs written [15:33] and getting the necessary information from DX :-) [15:34] man dude, that's a short week? [15:34] jono: fair enough was just letting folks know it;s a useful tool. [15:34] thanks czajkowski [15:34] jcastro: czajkowski@sheldon:~$ man dude [15:34] No manual entry for dude [15:34] lol [15:34] he does say "man dude" a lot [15:34] mhall119, all done? [15:34] yup [15:34] any questions for mhall119? [15:35] that's a bunch of good work dude [15:35] high five!
