soaringskyCheesehead failed to generate much traffic00:03
CheeseheadI thought three comments was a wild success for this channel00:18
soaringskylol00:22
CheeseheadOoh! Four now.00:22
soaringskyfive00:22
CheeseheadIt's a party!00:23
soaringskyhow is your ubuntu membership coming along?00:24
CheeseheadI got it. I've posted a couple times to Planet Ubuntu, I'm helping out at the Wausau event next week, and keeping Brainstorm tottering along.00:25
CheeseheadSo I try to stay engaged00:25
soaringskycool00:25
CheeseheadThough with the weather nice, who wants to sit around typing?00:26
soaringskyyeah, I couldn't believe how warm it was00:26
soaringskyjust a few weeks ago we had snow00:27
soaringskyI guess my ski season is over...00:27
CheeseheadReckon so...00:27
soaringskysunburst semi-officially is done00:28
Cheeseheadsunburst?00:29
soaringskyI barely made it out enough times to justify my season pass00:29
CheeseheadOh, *that* subnurst00:29
soaringskysunburst is a ski hill in kewaskum00:29
CheeseheadSome day I must teach the kids to ski...though with expected climate change I suppose waterskiing would be a better choice.00:30
soaringskylol00:30
soaringskyone of these days I'll become an ubuntu member...00:31
soaringskyI've worked hundreds of bugs in the past week00:32
CheeseheadAwesome! I've reopened one that was erroneously pushed to Brainstorm.00:32
CheeseheadThe Release meeting this week had a lot of nasty Critical bugs.00:33
soaringskyrecently I cleaned out the dapper and jaunty bugtasks00:33
CheeseheadI saw the note about Dapper.00:33
CheeseheadThank you. That was a big, dirty job that nevertheless needed to be done.00:34
soaringskyof the 60ish dapper bugtasks, only one was still a valid bug00:34
soaringskyubuntu has tens of thousands of really old bugs that need to be cleaned00:34
soaringskyI recently closed a few *breezy* bugs00:34
CheeseheadHow about you have an Event for the LoCo to attack a pile of them?00:35
CheeseheadEvery time I ask, people say they're interested in bugs.00:36
CheeseheadYou caould provide a bit of direction and mentoring00:36
soaringskysure. I'm also gonna pick the brains of #ubuntu-bugs on ways to deal with old bugs00:36
CheeseheadIf the time is convenient, I'll be here for it.00:37
soaringskywe also of thousands of bugs for packages that only exist in hardy, and were later dropped. those bugs will never get fixed00:37
CheeseheadSo some just need to be tagged, then a script can auto-comment and close them?00:38
Cheesehead(or we could get fancy with launchpadlib)00:39
soaringskyprobably00:39
soaringskybut the problem is that every bug is unique00:39
soaringskyI could write a script to find hardy-only packages00:40
CheeseheadQuite true. I only suggest mass-comments/closings  for specific limited curcumstances.00:40
soaringskyyou probably do a script to comment on really old bugs and ask if they still exist. set status to incomplete00:42
CheeseheadI would be quite annoyed if a bug I files was 'botted.00:42
* Cheesehead chastises his fumbly fingers for spelling00:42
soaringskytrue. but in my experience with old bugs, you only hear back is less than 5% of cases00:43
CheeseheadAgreed. Been there...00:43
soaringskyand you kind of need to know if a bug still exists in order to fix it...00:43
CheeseheadTrue00:44
CheeseheadIs Old Bugs the main interest right now?00:44
soaringskyfor me it is... I'm on a mission00:44
soaringskyubuntu is drowning in bugs00:45
CheeseheadI think you should share the mission. Some of us in the LoCo are willing to help.00:45
soaringskydefinitely00:46
CheeseheadOkay, I declare you to be in charge of the WI LoCo Old Bugs Project.00:47
soaringskyaccepted00:47
CheeseheadHow about you send a message to the e-mail list "Hey, I'm starting the WI LoCo Old Bugs Project..."00:48
soaringskywill do00:48
Cheesehead"Join me in IRC on blah day/time, and we'll get started..."00:49
Cheesehead"I'll show you the ropes..."00:49
Cheesehead"Our goal is to close (achievable number) in (month or year)"00:49
CheeseheadI'm quite sure h00k will be happy to bless such a project.00:49
soaringskyhow bout we all join 5-a-day?00:50
CheeseheadAn excellent idea!00:50
Cheesehead(Though not for me. I wouldn't be able to keep that pace)00:51
CheeseheadSome days I can do lots, other days none. I can average a few a day...00:51
soaringsky5-a-day will be great for keeping score00:52
CheeseheadAh, true! I had forgotten about that aspect.00:52
soaringsky5-a-day also lets you do 5/7 days per week, for weekly scores00:53
CheeseheadIn that case, an even better Idea, and I will join.00:53
CheeseheadThere. I just joined.00:56
