jononigelb, hey00:09
jononigelb, you have some experience with launchpadlib, right?00:09
Pendulumnigelb: watch out, jono's going to try to recruit you now :P00:10
jonome?00:10
* jono rubs hands together00:10
jono:-)00:10
cjohnstonlol00:11
jonocjohnston, would you be able to help with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accomplishments/Trophies/Scripts#LoCo_Teams ?00:13
nigelbjono: More of launchpad experience than launchpadlib :)00:13
jononigelb, would you mind taking a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accomplishments/Trophies/Scripts and adding any notes that could be useful for how we can write these accomplishments?00:13
jonoI want to start expanding the library of accomplishments00:14
cjohnstonjono: I don't want to agree to anything.. I start new job next week00:14
cjohnston:-)00:14
nigelbsure, looking00:14
jonocjohnston, aha, gotcha00:14
jcastrocjohnston, You check out bootstrap yet? You know you love it00:14
nigelbcjohnston: slacker00:14
jonothanks nigelb00:14
cjohnstonjcastro: no.. been home long enough to have 1.5 beers00:14
jonomy launchpadlib is a little lacking, so I don't really know just how much of LP is exposed00:14
cjohnstonnigelb: then you do it00:15
jonomhall119, yo00:15
jonomhall119, can you help write https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accomplishments/Trophies/Scripts#LoCo_Teams accomplishments?00:15
cjohnstonlol00:15
jonoI think it will need someone to be able to talk to loco.ubuntu.com00:15
jono:-)00:15
cjohnstonshould all be available through the API.. do you have someone who could write the scripts if we showed where in the appi00:16
jonocjohnston, yeah, basically if you can send me a code fragment that can return True if someone has done of those things, I will create the accomplishments00:17
jonothe problem I have right now is that I don't know how to talk to the API of l.u.c00:17
jcastroman, the ccsm drama is still continuing00:17
cjohnstonjono: all I know is the scripts that we import live data00:19
jonocjohnston, what do you mean?00:19
cjohnstonjono: we have a script that imports the data from loco.u.c to my local db00:20
jonocjohnston, I see, and then your local DB exposes an API?00:21
cjohnstonjono: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltp-devs/loco-team-portal/0.2/view/head:/loco_directory/teams/management/commands/import-live-data.py00:22

dpmmorning dholbach!09:07
dpmI've got a quick question for you09:07
dpmI'm working with translation templates in LP09:07
dpmand I need to know which source packages are in universe (so that they are disabled in LP) and which ones in main09:08
dpmI'm looking at this one: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/884504/09:08
dpmthe question is, why is there output for a universe line and a main line?09:08
dholbachdpm, it seems like the source was moved to main, so stuff in main can depend and build-depend on it, but it wasn't actually pulled in by anything yet?09:35
dholbachnot sure09:35
dholbachit looks like a glitch in the matrix09:35
dholbachsomebody in #u-devel might be able to help figure it out09:35
dpmok, thanks dholbach!09:39
czajkowskianyone else find the stumpleUpon logo similar to anything  else we know http://www.stumbleupon.com/10:06
popeyhttp://benjaminkerensa.com/2011/12/16/did-stumbleupon-copy-juju-logo10:24
czajkowskiaye but as maco pointed out stumbleupon has alwasy had that deisng just blue and green10:25
czajkowskiand tbh I didnt know there was a way we had to write JuJu Juju juju10:26
czajkowskithe logo looks like J is uppercase10:27
czajkowskialthough I do wonder did anyone google the name before it was decided on :)10:28

Davieyczajkowski: There was massive discussion10:45
dholbachcan somebody please read http://daniel.holba.ch/blog/2012/03/putting-the-ubuntu-development-process-to-the-test/ and see if it's clear?11:39
cprofittreading now11:40
Davieydholbach: makes sense to me, but i might suggest a more formal email address.11:41
cprofittyeah.. looks good to me11:42
dholbachDaviey, what are you thinking of?11:42
cprofittI do agree with Daviey... I might use an email alias like devteam@canonical.com11:42
dholbachI thought about it, but wasn't sure how long it'd take IS to set  it up11:43
dholbachso for this first test run I think this email address will do11:43
dholbachit was easy enough for me to set it up :)11:43
cprofittinteresting you had the same thoughts as I did Daviey... was just writing my thoughts when you suggested it11:43
dholbachthanks a lot for the feedback11:44
dholbachI wasn't quite sure if the post in general was clear enough11:44
czajkowskicrystal clear11:47
Davieydholbach: I'd try IS first, if it were me.. If they can't do it today, then go with your plan.11:49
dholbachDaviey, next time ;-)11:49
Davieydholbach: ok11:49

AlanBellinteresting article dholbach, I think it is massively too hard to do a simple package11:55
dholbachyes, it could definitely be easier and I'm looking forward to seeing the work that is being put into pkgme into action11:56
dholbachbut for new contributors I wouldn't recommend by starting to package something new (unless that's what they really want)11:56
dholbachbut to work on existing packages first11:56
AlanBellwhat I wanted to do was package one single solitary python script11:56
AlanBelland have it run on login11:57
AlanBellI managed to get this kind of functional http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/unity-window-quicklists.deb mostly by reverse engineering other packages to find out what should be in them11:57
dholbachyeah, I quite often looked at similar packages beforehand myself when packaging something new11:58
AlanBellall the packaging guides seem to assume that the thing is installed with configure;make; make install11:59
AlanBellthen you build source packages and binary packages, but when the thing is just a script that just runs it kind of doesn't fit that model and I couldn't work out where the right place to start wasw12:00
AlanBellanyhow, I should put this in an email really :)12:00
dholbachthis rules file /usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.tiny should work for a lot other cases nicely as well12:01
dholbachsure, if you don't have any kind of "build system" (such as a setup.py for instance), you will need to use dh_install to put files into the right place12:02
dholbachand maybe an init script to start the script on login12:02
AlanBellI was putting a desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart/unity-window-quicklists.desktop12:03
AlanBelldunno if that is the right thing to do or not12:03
dholbachah ok12:03
dholbachso on session start12:03
dholbachgotcha12:03
dholbachyes, that makes sense then12:03
AlanBellit needs to run after unity is somewhat existing12:04
AlanBellwell actually probably will hang about waiting for unity to pop up on dbus if it starts first12:04
dholbachI just filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-packaging-guide/+bug/95593212:05
ubot2`Launchpad bug 955932 in ubuntu-packaging-guide "[New] Simple package which ships files (no build system)" [Undecided,New]12:05

jcastroDaviey, hey did we ever decide to merge -cloud and -server?13:19
jcastroor should I be on cloud still?13:19
Davieyjcastro: I was thinking about that.. lets do it13:19
jcastrook how do we do this?13:20
Davieyjcastro: so.. who 'owns' the channel13:21
jcastroI dunno man, aren't you like the tech lead or something?13:21
jcastrodon't you own things?13:21
Davieyjcastro: No, i'm not longer a tech lead, jackass.13:22
DavieyI forgot everything technical13:23

jcastro1I am not sure I like this yet or not14:05

nigelbjcastro1: a little bit of polish?14:06
jcastroyeah14:06
jcastroit looks pretty14:07
jcastrobut like, there's no multi server support14:07
jcastroand the input box has been glitchy for me14:07

czajkowskithe link to balloons on the track lead is a bit messed up on http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-q/tracks14:37
mhall119they all are14:39
nigelbwho messed up with __unicode__ again?14:39
mhall119cjohnston: ^^14:39
cjohnstontheres a bug14:39
czajkowskiahh it was working last week as I used that page to get the email addresses o14:40
mhall119it'll work until summit gets their real name14:41
mhall119cjohnston: make it use lead.lead.user.username in the link14:42
akgranerjcastro - I'll be at UDS all week, and I'd like to pass the video interview torch, any thoughts on who I can prep and hand that off to?14:50
jcastrohmm, not sure14:51
jcastrolet me think14:51
akgranerk14:51
cjohnstonI have thoughts but I dont know who is going14:51
akgranerjust let me know, I want to hand them all the things I learned the last 3 years - and do email introductions to everyone and introduce them to the video guys etc14:52
jcastrothat's just what you say now14:52
jcastrobut I know you'll start working on a spreadsheet or welcome packet or something14:52
akgranerno - I mean that :-) *sniffle*  *sniffle*14:52
jcastroso we might just shoot from the hip just to avoid you writing for 5 days14:53
akgranerit's time :-)14:53
akgranerI'm concise now - I don't have 5 days to write anything these days14:53
jcastroI kind of don't believe you14:54
akgraner:-P14:54
jcastrohey are you going to posscon?14:54
czajkowskiwhy not ask different people so it doesnt land on one person that way different people could give different types of interviews14:54
jcastro\o/14:55
jcastroI have thought in the past of just signing out the cameras14:55
czajkowskijcastro: +114:55
jcastroand letting people just go film things in a more "haphazard" manner14:55
akgranerthat's fine too - you all go for14:55
akgranerfor it14:55
akgranerI'll step out of it then :-)14:55
jcastroas kind of a style thing14:55
akgranerhave fun!14:55
* akgraner mentions it no more :-)14:55
jcastrolike, taping randoom conversations14:55
jcastropeople talking about stuff in the hallways, etc.14:55
cjohnstonnot everyone wants to be filmed14:57
cjohnstonsomeone will get there feelings hurt when one of those people says go away14:57
jcastrowaivers!14:59
jcastrothe only person who doesn't sign the video waiver has been doko14:59
jcastroalso I don't mean just shoving a camera in people's faces.14:59
jcastrolike, more loose, "Oh hey so I was hanging out here and Joe smith walked by, wotcha working on?"15:00
cjohnstonI think there are two different things going on here... Amber is talking about the Mark and Jane, Pete and Rick interviews, your talking about the Joe Smith interviews.. I think both are great, but can't be mixed15:01
cjohnstonI think there is still a place for what she was doing15:01
jcastrotrue dat15:01
cjohnstonbut your idea is a cool one that I think would be good as well15:01
cjohnstonIn the end edit all of the "informal" interviews into one video15:01
mhall119blair-witch meets UDS?15:01
cjohnstonwould be really awesome15:01
jcastrohah yeah15:01
jcastromaybe just one or two cameras15:01
cjohnstonKinda like the video from Brussels, just with audio15:02
jcastroand give them to select people15:02
jcastroright!15:02
jcastropeople we know will be clever and crazy15:02
jcastroand see what happens15:02
jcastrobut not overcommit, in case it ends up being dumb15:02
mhall119I wonder if novacut will be usable for editing them after UDS15:03
mhall119that'd be pretty awesom....um, I mean..incredible15:03
akgranerWill novacut be at UDS?15:03
jcastroI thought they were LDSers these days15:03
jcastromhall119, we outsource all the editing15:03
mhall119they're mormons?15:04
cjohnstonwow15:04
jcastrono, linaro dude15:04
cjohnstonjcastro: that's LCers15:04
mhall119^^15:04
jcastrooh15:04
cjohnstonthey have a cool name15:04
jcastrowell, you know what would be awesome if we had the bandwidth and stuff15:05
jcastrois just have each room be a google on air thing.15:05
cjohnstonuh oh15:05
jcastroif they really worked though15:05
cjohnstonjcastro: LC did it..15:05
cjohnstonnot the on air part i dont think15:05
cjohnstonbut hangouts15:05
cjohnstoninssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssstead of irc15:05
jcastroI wanted to try it at last UDS with Sean to figure out how nice it could be15:05
jcastrobut ran out of time15:05
cjohnstonremove a couple "s"'s15:06
jcastronew keyboard time?15:06
cjohnstonno. its synergy..15:06
jcastrook, I've procastinated on this alice charm long enough, I'm going to finish it15:06
cjohnstonwhen I'm using a bunch of BW it does that15:06
jcastroDaviey, I'm just going to push the charm with whatever is in the distro15:06
jcastroyou upgrading it won't affect the charm anyway15:07
jcastrounless your planning on renaming the package? Which I don't think you'd do15:07
Davieynope15:07
popey"You have been unsubscribed from ubuntu users mailing list"15:13

popeynope15:15
popeyjust quit15:15
cjohnstonjcastro: LP is wanting to know the status of summit15:15
akgranerjcastro - we use hangouts for Connect :-)15:16
cjohnston$$ is outside of my world, so I have no idea how to reply, but I think that's kinda the current hold15:16
jcastroI was under the impression that this was in process of being handed over to you already?15:16
jcastrooh I see the  mail now15:17
jcastrocjohnston, ok let's ambush mims as soon as he's around15:17
cjohnstonlike I said, I think the hold isn't him, I think its where to put it15:17
jcastrono we solved that15:17
jcastrowe have an account and everything15:17
cjohnstonhhhhhoh15:17
cjohnstonwell, no one has told me that15:17
jcastrojust need to fire it up and ssh-id-import or whatever15:18
jcastrohmm ok let's catch up as soon as he's around then15:18
cjohnstonwell, fire it up, install it and we will go15:18
cjohnston:-P15:18
jcastroDaviey, any insight? I knew you were talking about this the other day with mark. ^15:18
jcastropopey, so I opened the archive link15:19
jcastroand  then scanned the topics15:19
jcastroand then closed the tab15:19
jcastropopey, I think this post summarizes it wonderfully15:20

jcastroright15:24
cjohnstonsweet15:24
jcastroI thought that's what he was doing the other day15:24
jcastrono worries15:24
cjohnstonso EOD should be doable15:24
jcastrohe's a physics guy, perfectionist.15:24
jcastroyeah but don't tell them EOD until we talk to him15:25
cjohnstonlol15:25
cjohnstonI don't plan on replying15:25
cjohnstoncurious for my own planning15:25
jcastropopey, I seriously don't understand why we let usenetism's trample all over our resources.15:25
jcastrowhen we know the real answer is that using a mailing list for user support is dumb.15:25
popeyfeel free to propose shutting it down :D15:26
jcastroafter my ccsm dogpile is complete.15:26
cjohnstonpopey saying shutt down a mailing list is the same as jcastro saying delete the wiki15:27
jcastroyeah I can imagine you hooking someone up with ubuntu15:27
jcastroand then asking for help15:27
jcastroand then getting yelled at because their mail isn't set properly15:27
jcastroand somehow, that's their fault.15:27
jcastrowhatever "set properly" is15:28
jcastrowhich is awesome, because the guy is using gmail, which automatically  hides all the bottom posted stuff anyway15:28
jcastroanyway I am preaching to the choir15:28
czajkowskiI like bottom posting :/15:30
czajkowskiIt is kinda annoying following a thread to have people top post tbh when you're trying to track things, but given we got hammered into it at uni it just makes sense to me15:31
jcastroright but for devel lists people know how to do that already15:31
jcastroI'm talking about end user things15:32
czajkowskijcastro: oss ml etiquette :)15:33
cjohnstonyp15:34
jcastroso ... don't send users to the mailing list.15:34
czajkowskiI've even on a list atm wiht popey and others and 2 big FOSS heads top post it's just gah! at times15:34
cjohnstonyo15:34
czajkowskijcastro: nope not saying that at all, but once it's pointed out to someone or it's somewhere to read15:34
czajkowskiml are a great tool to get help from15:34
czajkowskior have good discussions15:34
Davieyjcastro: sorry, talking about what now?15:34
jcastroDaviey, summit for LF15:35

* cjohnston is going to take czajkowski's throttling power15:35
jcastroDaviey, you always conveniently disappear15:35
jcastrom_3, ok so the LF person sent us a mail15:35
jcastroasking how we're doing15:36
czajkowskicjohnston: no idea what you're talking about :) I thought it was throw out 2 letters :)15:36
cjohnstonjcastro: Daviey is soon to be the leeeeeead deeeeeeeeeeeeveloperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr of Summit15:36
jcastrom_3, and I was thinking maybe we can give this thing to chris soon15:36
Pendulumczajkowski: I think the problem is that especially people who aren't already technical have been trained to top post. It's only on tech related ML that I see top posting frowned upon and if you're non-technical and every other list you're on uses top posting, then how are you going to remember to bottom post on that one list?15:36
cjohnstonnot that i can type15:36
jcastroand let him go nuts on it15:36
m_3jcastro: yup, we got the account set up... jsut need to walk Chris through setup and running it from juju15:36
jcastrowoo15:37
Davieyjcastro: I am the mysterious monkey15:37
jcastroso should we just do this?15:37
m_3jcastro: high latency atm (conference)15:37

m_3cjohnston: what's your timezone?15:38
cjohnstonest15:38
cjohnston3 hour drive from jcastro15:38
czajkowskiPendulum: aye I had to explain to the sister why stuff was on the bottom as it was just habit now I switch to top for family and close mates but thats it.15:38
jcastrocjohnston, ok so let's set up a handoff session with you and mims15:41
m_3cjohnston: ok, I'll hit you before eod today eastern time15:41
cjohnstonok15:42
m_3need maybe half hour to go over managing the env (?)15:42
cjohnstonok15:42
cjohnstonI need to be able to be free by 1700 today, so anytime in the next 5 hours should be good.. 20 minutes notice if possible please :-)15:42
jcastrocjohnston, hey how did we backup the data in summit before?15:47
cjohnstonmhall119: ^15:48
mhall119lol, backup, you're funny jcastro15:49
jcastrohey alright, so even if we added rudimentary backups it'd be way better than what we had before?15:49
m_3cjohnston mhall119 that's more of an issue with running it in ec2 now15:49
mhall119yeah15:50
jcastroyeah, like east had a hiccup this morning15:50
mhall119m_3: a pgdump should do15:50
jcastrojust what I wanted to hear15:50
m_3I'll add cjohnston and mhall119 to the environment... then we can walk through spinning it up/down... ssh pgdumps... etc15:50
m_3we could do some fancier snapshots and stuf if it makes sense15:51
m_3but we definitely need to go through the main failure modes once you guys can manage the site and get it themed15:53
m_3cjohnston: what's your lp id?15:55
jonomhall119, going to be a few mins late, stuck on a call15:56

dpmjcastro, so I've been reluctant to use trello because I don't want to keep track actions in two different places - LP and somewhere else, but I showed it to some translations guys and they were happy to give it a go, so I'd like to try it. So how does this work for community teams? Do we create an Ubuntu Translations Trello or something, or do we just join the general community one?16:38
jcastrohey so I created an organization called "ubuntu"16:39
jcastroyou would just make whatever boards you want under that16:39
jcastrohowever you want16:39
m_3mhall119: launchpad id?16:41
* mhall119 <---16:42
m_3doh, nevermind16:42
m_3:)16:42
mhall119:)16:42
jcastrodpm, there's no real right way to use it as far as I can tell, but probably making a translations board is a good start16:44
jcastroI try to keep mine organized by overarching specs16:44
jcastrodpm, ok I added you to "ubuntu" you should be able to just create a board in it16:49
dpmjcastro, cool, thanks :)16:50
jcastroI did try to make one huge board once16:50
jcastrothat would track all of our stuff16:50
jcastrobut it got crazy16:50
dpm:)16:52
dpmjcastro, does the user profile uses gravatar or something, or do I need to upload a pic?16:58
dpm*use16:58
jcastrogravatar afaict17:01
jcastroor actually, it might be google17:01
dpmweird, it doesn't seem to get my picture. I logged in with my google account17:01
jcastrooh17:01
jcastroif you go on "account"17:01
jcastroand hover over your pic17:01
jcastrothere's a "change avatar"17:02
dpmyeah, I was there, but other than allowing me to upload a picture, I don't see any other options17:03
popeyjcastro: we started using trello for our "OggCamp" event coming up ☺17:12
jcastrocool!17:12
jcastropopey, did you see strapello?17:12
jcastromarcoceppi made it17:12
jcastrohttp://strapello.com/user/jorgecastro17:13
dpmjcastro, is there any way to mark something as "blocked", or should it just be put under Doing?17:13
jcastrowell you can assign colors to cards17:14
jcastroor you could make a column called "blocked"17:14
popeyno17:14
jcastrodpm, if you hover over a card hit the number keys17:14
jcastro1, 2, etc.17:14
jcastroit lets you assign colors to cards, you could then say "if you're doing something and it's block, mark it red" or whatever17:15
dholbachyou can name those colours too so it becomes clearer what they mean17:15
jcastro111right17:15
dpmah, cool17:15
* dpm reads the help17:15
jcastrohttps://trello.com/shortcuts17:17
jcastroit's like unity, it's all about the shortcuts!17:17
jcastrodpm, what I am hoping for once lp work items land is to be able to just sync them17:19
jcastroso I can have my cake and eat it too17:19
dpmjcastro, yeah, what you showed us on demo day was awesome, and it was what made me think of actually using it.17:19
dpmbtw, can you add me to the community team board, or is there any way I can add myself?17:20
jcastroI think there's a way to add yourself17:24
jcastrobut I just added you since I have it open17:25
dpmcool, thanks :)17:25
jcastrodpm, I keep the board I am working on open on my tablet so it's in my face all the time17:25
dpmjcastro, yeah, any trello 101 tips you want to share, I'm all ears :)17:26
jcastroI need to finish this charm but perhaps tomorrow we can swap tips?17:26
jcastromaybe get dholbach all up in there, I know he has awesome tips17:26
jcastromarcoceppi perhaps as well?17:26
dholbachsorry, I'm in the middle of 5 things right now - what are we talking about?17:27
jcastrodholbach, hang out tomorrow, swap some trello tips?17:28
dholbachI'm not sure I have many17:29
dholbachI didn't even figure out the shortcuts :)17:29
dpmjcastro, I'm off tomorrow and it's bank holiday on monday here, perhaps tuesday or some other day next week?17:31
* jcastro nods17:32
dholbachcool17:33
dholbachI'd love to hear YOUR tips though17:33
jcastroand we'll put on some deadmau517:34
jcastroand rock it17:34
jcastrodholbach, I got his DVD, I have it on repeat basically17:34
dholbachI'll never forgive him his comments about DJs17:34
jcastroit's ok, it's about the head17:35
jcastroand the music17:35
* dholbach rolls eyes17:35
dholbach:-P17:35
jcastrothis guy is a gateway drug17:36
jcastroI totally want to get more into this17:36
czajkowskidpm: do you get paddys day on MOnday17:36
jonodholbach, so in terms of the sponsorship17:36
jonoI think we should put a a page on status.ubuntu.com/sponsorship that shows the sponsorship queue graph, maybe lists the items, and explains how people can get involved and help17:37
jonoI think it should also list the people who did sponsorship work each month17:37
dholbachjono, that might be a bit trickier to get it on there as I don't have access to that machine - qa.u.c I can do right now17:37
jonodholbach, right, maybe if we can get it up on the qa machine first and then move it to status later?17:37
jonodholbach, but I think it only needs that one graph on there17:37
* dholbach nods17:38
jonobut then we can corral the community around that one graph17:38
jonoand provide a sense of shared ownership17:38
jonomake sense?17:38
dholbachsure17:38
dpmczajkowski, it's rather this -> http://0.tqn.com/d/gospain/1/0/k/Q/-/-/DSC_3051.JPG17:39
dpmit's called the Falles festival, but it's actually just an excuse to set things on fire17:39
dpma crazy bunch, the people from Valencia17:39
czajkowskidpm: sweeet you ge tthe setting things on fire ,we get the going for drinks :D win win as long as the two are not done on the same day17:39
jonodpm, looks like a typical Friday night17:39
jono:-)17:39
dpmyeah, that's just the warm up, literally speaking17:40
czajkowskiit's really warm in london today17:40
czajkowskifirst day not wearing uggs17:40
czajkowskiand no jumper or jacket17:40
jonoczajkowski, does the new work item feature allow assignments? I don't see it on https://help.launchpad.net/Blueprint?action=show&redirect=WorkItems#workitems17:46
czajkowskijono: http://blog.launchpad.net/cool-new-stuff/work-items-in-blueprints17:47
czajkowskilet me just ask17:47
jonoczajkowski, I read that and it doesnt say anything about assignments17:48
czajkowskijono: mrevell says its the same as before he just left it outta the help file by accident, and is not fixing it17:51
czajkowskijono: format is same as before17:51
jonoczajkowski, cool17:51
jonoyou may want to fix this in the docs, I think a lot of people will ask the same17:51
jonothanks!17:51
czajkowskijono: he;s fixing it now17:52
czajkowskiyou were the only one otta all the mails I sent to comment :) clearly you read my emails17:53

marcoceppidholbach jcastro just let me know if you want some tips :)18:11
dpmmarcoceppi, I think they (and you) are the pros, it's rather me who might need the tips :)18:12
jonoczajkowski, so does this WI feature on LP show reporting or summaries of work items?18:18
jonoczajkowski, do you have an example BP with work items using the system?18:18
cjohnstonI dont think its used yet18:18
czajkowskijono: no as we had to hold off till 12.04 release18:19
czajkowskisalgado may have a sample one for linaro18:19
jonoczajkowski, ok, so it basically only provides a different text box today for work items18:19
cjohnstonjono: AFAIK its just going to be another text box, just like the current whiteboard... but it checks to see if they are valid on save18:20
jonocjohnston, ahh18:20
jonocjohnston, btw, can I ask you to work with dholbach as I want to get Daniel's sponsorship queue graph on status.ubuntu.com18:21
cjohnstonso kind-of a mix of the current whiteboard plus the greasemonkey script18:21
jonocjohnston, cool18:21
jonocjohnston, dholbach will be in touch about it18:21
cjohnstonjono: I don't know when I'll be able to do any work on it.. if he just needs guidance then probably18:21
cjohnstonI'm maxed out for the time being18:22

cjohnstonjcastro: a cool thing that we did at Connect was training sessions...they took place in the plenary room, on whatever topic someone wanted to train on.. they were scheduled in summit, so they had to be approved20:52

JanCmy "leadership style" is based on chaos theory (I think)  :P21:08
=== JackyAlcine is now known as jalcine
jo-erlendwe need politics in Ubuntu. Some of us are passionate about it. We should have an area where we can argue.21:38
jalcineOh boy.21:40
jo-erlendI know. But we can't be a real community without it.21:41
czajkowskiyes we can perfectly well21:41
jo-erlendI don't think we can. From a purely pragmatical standpoint, it will allow us to show the differences. But from  a purely communal standpoint, we allow contributors to be human as well as members of a technical society.21:43
czajkowskiit's far too controversal and ends up upsetting many people which isnt productive or welcoming21:44
jalcineWell, the only kind of political disagreement I can see would be the DE war.21:44
czajkowskihmm21:45
czajkowskigood night :)21:45
JanCwell, it should be "out of band" for shure21:45
JanCfor sure21:45
jalcineUnity vs. GNOME Shell vs. OpenBox vs. KDE vs. XFCE vs. etc..21:45
jalcineHeh, that starts up a flame.21:45
jo-erlendconsider Ryan. I consider his views to be perfectly compatible with Ubuntus views, except for the fact that he wants me to die because I don't believe in his ideas. But that's fine. I have no doubt that he is passionate about Ubuntu.21:47
jalcineDon't get me wrong, I like the idea,21:48
jalcinebut i iz too scared of it.21:48
jo-erlendagain, from a purely pragmatic perspective; do you understand the benefit of letting people like that feeling that Ubuntu is their new church, even if we're a secular meritocracy?21:49
jo-erlendwe can't do that if they have no outlet.21:49
AlanBellnot sure I like the software/religion comparison really21:53
jo-erlendit wasn't a comparison. It was an ackknowledgement of the fact that we're all humans. We share a passion for Ubuntu, but that doesn't mean we're all anachists, communists or anything else.21:54
jo-erlendAlanBell, how would you go about selling the concept of humanity without acknowledging the concept of faith? I consider "faith" to be an illness. You don't know why Ubuntu is so important to me. We should allow people to say why they are fighting for Ubuntu. We are strong enough to handle the differences. But we must separate community from development.22:04
AlanBellhmm, I just think they are different things. It is a bit rude to preach on a software mailing list, and it is probably bad form to think in a church22:07
AlanBelldoesn't mean people can't be enthusiastic about software22:07
jo-erlendWe need to take everything to the next level now, because we're going to need it. We need to take community to the next level, as well as the quality of software we create.22:07
mhall119that isn't the next level22:07
mhall119that's like, 5 levels down, it would be a regression22:08
jo-erlendthat's a highly interesting thing to say, I think. Can you elaborate?22:08
mhall119politics isn't about argument, it's about building, and that's what we're currently doing22:09
mhall119going back to arguing over stuff that doesn't improve anything is going backwards22:09
jo-erlendexacrly. What we should be doing, is allow all those new contributors to build _on_ Ubuntu and not just _in_ it.22:09
mhall119we want them to build Ubuntu, not argue over it22:10
jo-erlendno. If we do that, then we loose.22:10
jo-erlendwe want people to argue over Ubuntu, because that makes people curious about what we are. And we want people to build _on_ Ubuntu because not everyone shares our ideals. But we should never reject maps to success. And that's what people provide, whether they're fundamentalistic christian or just simple anachists like I am.22:12
mhall119I've never seen two guys arguing and thought "Hey, I want to join in and be a part of that"22:13
mhall119no arguments, jfdi and let your work live or die by it's own merit, not yours22:14
jo-erlendare you serious, or is this just an academic joke I haven't heard?22:14
mhall119I'm saying I'm not drawn towards negative attitudes22:14
mhall119are you?22:14
jo-erlendno. Do you think you can prevent them?22:15
mhall119not all of them, no22:15
jo-erlendI don't believe in obfuscation.22:15
mhall119I have a fire extinguisher in my house for a reason :) doesn't mean I want to encourage house fires22:15
jo-erlendwhat prevents us from enforcing the CoC in the community contexts?22:16
mhall119the point of the CoC isn't enforcement, that's the last resort22:16
mhall119the CoC is for guidance22:17
jo-erlendto me, it is in all contexts, regardless of any oaths or legally binding signatures.22:17
mhall119If you want to engage people, privately or in a dedicated group, that's fine, but I don't think we should be encouraging political debate as part of our core culture22:17
jo-erlendyes, but why do you want them to be held outside of the Ubuntu context?22:18
mhall119we should encourage initiative, passion, helpfulness and respect, not disagreement22:18
mhall119The same reason I want discussions of cooking to be held outside of Ubuntu, and discussions of muscle cars, or anything else that takes the focus away from what we're building here22:19
jo-erlendbut you do acknowledge the fact that some people write from right to left?22:19
jo-erlendisn't that the biggest cultural difference in the world?22:20
mhall119not even close22:20
mhall119but we can write code to allow left to right, and right to left22:20
mhall119we can't write code to solve political or religious problems22:20
jo-erlenddo you think two people can really bond without knowing who the other is?22:21
mhall119I think two people can know who the other is without arguing or debating their respective beliefs22:21
mhall119in fact, I *know* they can22:21
jo-erlendif we limit Ubuntu to a technical issue, I agree. But I think Ubuntu is much more. If it was just another name of a group of GNU geeks, I would never have been enthused to begin with.22:22
mhall119if you want to know people's political or religious beliefs and you want to talk to them about it, that's fine, I do it kind of a lot22:23
jo-erlendwe are not without belief. None of us. Let's face it. It is that simple. We believe in something.22:23
mhall119right, we all believe in Ubuntu and open software and free culture, so let's focus on that, because that's a much better thing to bring to the world than more political debate22:24
jo-erlendsome of us believe more in Ubuntu than we believe in free software. And some of us believe more in free software than we do in Ubuntu. And that definitely splits it in two. Is it interesting to know which part I belong to?22:25
mhall119I don't see how you can split the two22:25
jo-erlendthe reason for that is that noone has explained it to you. And the reason noone has, is the simple fact that we don't talk about it.22:26
mhall119if you want to talk about it, I'm game, PM me22:26
mhall119but let's not institutionalize it22:27
jo-erlendhappy to discuss it in private, but this is a discussion about whether or not people should discuss them at all. If they should; why does it have to be in private?22:27
mhall119because it doesn't help Ubuntu22:28
greg-gjo-erlend: Focusing on the differences in people is an interesting academic exercise, butnot something that has been shown to actually improve how a group of individuals work.22:28
jo-erlendthat is a claim that must be proven if it should have any value.22:28
jo-erlendgreg-g, I know it's an interesting challenge. I live in Norway. But I would expect Ubuntu to be even more interesting.22:29
greg-gnot really a response, but ok22:29
greg-glook, it is this simple: Having a group of diverse people produces better results than a homogenous group. HOWEVER, that is only true when you don't focus on the things which make the individuals different. That makes many feel uncomfortable/singled out (no matter how you do it, no matter how indirectly).22:30
jonoI believe we should keep politics out of Ubuntu22:57
jonoif people want to discuss politics, fine, but lets not make a formal part of the community22:57
jcastroMaking everyone join the KISS Army though ...23:21
