[00:03] <soaringsky> Cheesehead failed to generate much traffic
[00:18] <Cheesehead> I thought three comments was a wild success for this channel
[00:22] <soaringsky> lol
[00:22] <Cheesehead> Ooh! Four now.
[00:22] <soaringsky> five
[00:23] <Cheesehead> It's a party!
[00:24] <soaringsky> how is your ubuntu membership coming along?
[00:25] <Cheesehead> I 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] <Cheesehead> So I try to stay engaged
[00:25] <soaringsky> cool
[00:26] <Cheesehead> Though with the weather nice, who wants to sit around typing?
[00:26] <soaringsky> yeah, I couldn't believe how warm it was
[00:27] <soaringsky> just a few weeks ago we had snow
[00:27] <soaringsky> I guess my ski season is over...
[00:27] <Cheesehead> Reckon so...
[00:28] <soaringsky> sunburst semi-officially is done
[00:29] <Cheesehead> sunburst?
[00:29] <soaringsky> I barely made it out enough times to justify my season pass
[00:29] <Cheesehead> Oh, *that* subnurst
[00:29] <soaringsky> sunburst is a ski hill in kewaskum
[00:30] <Cheesehead> Some day I must teach the kids to ski...though with expected climate change I suppose waterskiing would be a better choice.
[00:30] <soaringsky> lol
[00:31] <soaringsky> one of these days I'll become an ubuntu member...
[00:32] <soaringsky> I've worked hundreds of bugs in the past week
[00:32] <Cheesehead> Awesome! I've reopened one that was erroneously pushed to Brainstorm.
[00:33] <Cheesehead> The Release meeting this week had a lot of nasty Critical bugs.
[00:33] <soaringsky> recently I cleaned out the dapper and jaunty bugtasks
[00:33] <Cheesehead> I saw the note about Dapper.
[00:34] <Cheesehead> Thank you. That was a big, dirty job that nevertheless needed to be done.
[00:34] <soaringsky> of the 60ish dapper bugtasks, only one was still a valid bug
[00:34] <soaringsky> ubuntu has tens of thousands of really old bugs that need to be cleaned
[00:34] <soaringsky> I recently closed a few *breezy* bugs
[00:35] <Cheesehead> How about you have an Event for the LoCo to attack a pile of them?
[00:36] <Cheesehead> Every time I ask, people say they're interested in bugs.
[00:36] <Cheesehead> You caould provide a bit of direction and mentoring
[00:36] <soaringsky> sure. I'm also gonna pick the brains of #ubuntu-bugs on ways to deal with old bugs
[00:37] <Cheesehead> If the time is convenient, I'll be here for it.
[00:37] <soaringsky> we also of thousands of bugs for packages that only exist in hardy, and were later dropped. those bugs will never get fixed
[00:38] <Cheesehead> So some just need to be tagged, then a script can auto-comment and close them?
[00:39] <Cheesehead> (or we could get fancy with launchpadlib)
[00:39] <soaringsky> probably
[00:39] <soaringsky> but the problem is that every bug is unique
[00:40] <soaringsky> I could write a script to find hardy-only packages
[00:40] <Cheesehead> Quite true. I only suggest mass-comments/closings  for specific limited curcumstances.
[00:42] <soaringsky> you probably do a script to comment on really old bugs and ask if they still exist. set status to incomplete
[00:42] <Cheesehead> I would be quite annoyed if a bug I files was 'botted.
[00:42]  * Cheesehead chastises his fumbly fingers for spelling
[00:43] <soaringsky> true. but in my experience with old bugs, you only hear back is less than 5% of cases
[00:43] <Cheesehead> Agreed. Been there...
[00:43] <soaringsky> and you kind of need to know if a bug still exists in order to fix it...
[00:44] <Cheesehead> True
[00:44] <Cheesehead> Is Old Bugs the main interest right now?
[00:44] <soaringsky> for me it is... I'm on a mission
[00:45] <soaringsky> ubuntu is drowning in bugs
[00:45] <Cheesehead> I think you should share the mission. Some of us in the LoCo are willing to help.
[00:46] <soaringsky> definitely
[00:47] <Cheesehead> Okay, I declare you to be in charge of the WI LoCo Old Bugs Project.
[00:47] <soaringsky> accepted
[00:48] <Cheesehead> How about you send a message to the e-mail list "Hey, I'm starting the WI LoCo Old Bugs Project..."
[00:48] <soaringsky> will do
[00:49] <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] <Cheesehead> I'm quite sure h00k will be happy to bless such a project.
[00:50] <soaringsky> how bout we all join 5-a-day?
[00:50] <Cheesehead> An excellent idea!
[00:51] <Cheesehead> (Though not for me. I wouldn't be able to keep that pace)
[00:51] <Cheesehead> Some days I can do lots, other days none. I can average a few a day...
[00:52] <soaringsky> 5-a-day will be great for keeping score
[00:52] <Cheesehead> Ah, true! I had forgotten about that aspect.
[00:53] <soaringsky> 5-a-day also lets you do 5/7 days per week, for weekly scores
[00:53] <Cheesehead> In that case, an even better Idea, and I will join.
[00:56] <Cheesehead> There. I just joined.
[01:00] <soaringsky> ttyl
