=== niceguyj_ is now known as niceguyjames [11:55] yaili: did you get the screenshot I sent last night? === imbrandon is now known as bholtsclaw [13:38] Hi, does anyone want to update the Facebook Countdown app? It's a mini python app hosted on app engine. There are currenly only about 8 people using it, maybe because its broken. [13:39] mhall119: do you care to help recruit or do you think we should let it die? [13:39] newz2000: be happy to, do you have a link to some information about it? [13:39] maybe some source code, give me a moment [13:40] what does it involve? [13:41] mhall119: I can give it a shot if you'd like [13:41] https://code.launchpad.net/~sushkov/ubuntu-website/ubuntu-countdown-fb [13:41] it's pretty simple code, just redirects to the countdown + a little container code [13:43] newz2000: any idea what's broken about it? [13:44] yeah, just a sec, getting hit from two sides [13:47] ok, back [13:47] mhall119: the prob with the facebook thing is it's showing a blank page. [13:47] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/973152 [13:47] Launchpad bug 973152 in Ubuntu Website "Error in Ubuntu Countdown Banner on Facebook" [Undecided,New] [13:47] oh, wait, I know what's happening [13:48] this may be bigger than I thought. The sidebar style of app is deprecated and it needs to be updated to the new style fb app [13:48] I'm happy to coach someone but I've not done this yet and I can only allocate a little time to it. [13:49] I have no clue how appengine or fb apps works, so I won't be able to help much other than asking others to help [13:49] app engine is the ultimate in simplicity [13:50] The challenge won't be app engine, it will be understanding facebook. [13:50] There is a helper library that makes that easier though [14:13] cjohnston: hi, yes [14:14] yaili: how does that look? [14:19] jamestunnicliffe: I have to leave for work.. if you need more help, hopefully mhall119 could point you in the right direction [14:21] cjohnston: good, I don't think we need the last divider, only the middle ones [14:25] mhall119: here's the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/973152 [14:25] Launchpad bug 973152 in Ubuntu Website "Error in Ubuntu Countdown Banner on Facebook" [Wishlist,Confirmed] [14:25] oh, I did that already, right [14:38] mhall119: what causes render_failure when trying to login to summit [14:38] /47/47 [14:52] cjohnston: render_failure is a callback for rendering a login failure page [14:53] it lets us give pretty/themed error messages for a django-openid-auth failure [14:55] mhall119: jamestunnicliffe has it running now.. can you show him how to create a meeting that will cause the problem that we need fixrd [14:57] please mhall119 :-) [15:00] jamestunnicliffe: ping me and I'll do whatever I can to help [15:01] yay [15:03] daker: ping [15:03] nigelb, yep [15:03] daker: Hey, so I've been asked to help you get set up with community tools stuff (mozilla) [15:04] nigelb, sure ツ [15:04] daker: So, whenever, you're free pop into #mozillians on irc.mozilla.org and we can get you set up [15:05] mhall119: I am a newbie, so I need to know how to create a meeting. I guess I need to propose it and prod something to approve it. [15:06] mhall119: or just extend an existing meeting to go over a break. [15:08] jamestunnicliffe: just extending should work [15:11] cjohnston: mhall119: Yea, the question is how... [15:29] So we have one vote for nixing the facebook countdown app [15:30] (stas, the guy who made it originall) [15:35] newz2000, yeah, I dropped the original app engine app since facebook announced deprecation like the next year [15:35] or something [15:35] stas: hey, didn't know you were here [15:35] yeah, that's definitely a barrier [15:35] newz2000, howdy? :) [15:36] * stas am I part of community web themes or wut?! :) [15:36] I guess the foreigner here is me. I'm the one who's out of touch. [15:37] nah, you're fine [15:37] so if the fb subject is actual now, we should address it first to the guys who are managing the Ubuntu fb page [15:37] adding an img tag to that page is a snap [15:38] ok, that sounds like a reasonable way to do it [15:56] stas / newz2000 what about using the new FB herku platform ? i'd be willing to codify it up [15:56] imbrandon: that's not the prob [15:56] imbrandon, does that brings the fb widgets back into the API? [15:56] ahh kk [15:56] :) [15:57] newz btw did you get my query the other day ? [15:57] imbrandon: yes, I was away then, but that's cool. [15:58] when do you leave for CA? [15:58] oh, wait, we haven't even had the release yet [15:58] yea it was nuts, and i dont have to anymore, negotiated to wfh [15:58] :) [15:58] oh, maybe I didn't get it [15:58] oh i thought you ment my new job [15:58] heh [15:59] cool, something fun? [15:59] i told ya about the car hitting the pole friday, then ask about some insider theme access , then a new job :) [15:59] yea, i get to play with twitter bootstrap all day in the cloud [15:59] then blog about it :) [16:00] havent finished the paperwork yet though so i havent made a blogpost telling the world :) [16:13] stas: newz2000: I have access to the Ubuntu FB page if you need me to add something for the countdown [16:14] mhall119: we don't really need anything, do you want to add the countdown banner to it? [16:14] will it keep updating? [16:36] mhall119: yeah, it's just a static image that changes each day [16:36] for best results, pick 1 2 or 3 [17:47] um...3? [19:22] mhall119: first, let me show you what would have happened if you'd picked 1… You'd have a goat! Do you want to stick with 3 or change to 2? [19:23] oh geez, there might be somethign really good behind door #2.... [19:23] actually, the irony of that is your nick [19:23] mhall could be you or it could be monty hall [19:23] who? [19:23] the guy from that game show [19:24] oh [19:24] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem [19:24] it's wayne brady now [19:24] oh, that show is back? [19:24] I guess I should have linked to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall but the first link is more interesting to geeks anyway [19:27] newz2000: you know, a goat might actually result in less work for me than picking a door that contains an image... [19:28] and yes, the show it back [19:28] I wonder if the contests on that show actually get to keep the goat. [19:28] Because, honestly, I hate mowing the grass. A goat may be handy. [19:28] heh [19:28] Getting it home from California may be troublesome [19:29] nah, just get a large dog carrier and fly it [19:29] or rent a uHaul or mini-van and drive it [19:29] I suspect I can buy a goat locally cheaper than uhauling it home. [19:29] (note: get damage insurance if going with the mini-van option) [19:30] wow, you can get a goat for only $50 [19:30] * newz2000 don't know how he got to this point
