[11:55] <cjohnston> yaili:  did you get the screenshot I sent last night?
[13:38] <newz2000> 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] <newz2000> mhall119: do you care to help recruit or do you think we should let it die?
[13:39] <mhall119> newz2000: be happy to, do you have a link to some information about it?
[13:39] <newz2000> maybe some source code, give me a moment
[13:40] <nigelb> what does it involve?
[13:41] <nigelb> mhall119: I can give it a shot if you'd like
[13:41] <newz2000> https://code.launchpad.net/~sushkov/ubuntu-website/ubuntu-countdown-fb
[13:41] <newz2000> it's pretty simple code, just redirects to the countdown + a little container code
[13:43] <mhall119> newz2000: any idea what's broken about it?
[13:44] <newz2000> yeah, just a sec, getting hit from two sides
[13:47] <newz2000> ok, back
[13:47] <newz2000> mhall119: the prob with the facebook thing is it's showing a blank page.
[13:47] <newz2000> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/973152
[13:47] <newz2000> oh, wait, I know what's happening
[13:48] <newz2000> 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] <newz2000> 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] <mhall119> 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] <newz2000> app engine is the ultimate in simplicity
[13:50] <newz2000> The challenge won't be app engine, it will be understanding facebook.
[13:50] <newz2000> There is a helper library that makes that easier though
[14:13] <yaili> cjohnston: hi, yes
[14:14] <cjohnston> yaili: how does that look?
[14:19] <cjohnston> jamestunnicliffe: I have to leave for work.. if you need more help, hopefully mhall119 could point you in the right direction
[14:21] <yaili> cjohnston: good, I don't think we need the last divider, only the middle ones
[14:25] <newz2000> mhall119: here's the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/973152
[14:25] <newz2000> oh, I did that already, right
[14:38] <cjohnston> mhall119:  what causes render_failure when trying to login to summit
[14:38] <cjohnston> /47/47
[14:52] <mhall119> cjohnston: render_failure is a callback for rendering a login failure page
[14:53] <mhall119> it lets us give pretty/themed error messages for a django-openid-auth failure
[14:55] <cjohnston> 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] <cjohnston> please mhall119  :-)
[15:00] <mhall119> jamestunnicliffe: ping me and I'll do whatever I can to help
[15:01] <cjohnston> yay
[15:03] <nigelb> daker: ping
[15:03] <daker> nigelb, yep
[15:03] <nigelb> daker: Hey, so I've been asked to help you get set up with community tools stuff (mozilla)
[15:04] <daker> nigelb, sure ツ
[15:04] <nigelb> daker: So, whenever, you're free pop into #mozillians on irc.mozilla.org and we can get you set up
[15:05] <jamestunnicliffe> 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] <jamestunnicliffe> mhall119: or just extend an existing meeting to go over a break.
[15:08] <cjohnston> jamestunnicliffe: just extending should work
[15:11] <jamestunnicliffe> cjohnston: mhall119: Yea, the question is how...
[15:29] <newz2000> So we have one vote for nixing the facebook countdown app
[15:30] <newz2000> (stas, the guy who made it originall)
[15:35] <stas> newz2000, yeah, I dropped the original app engine app since facebook announced deprecation like the next year
[15:35] <stas> or something
[15:35] <newz2000> stas: hey, didn't know you were here
[15:35] <newz2000> yeah, that's definitely a barrier
[15:35] <stas> newz2000, howdy? :)
[15:36]  * stas am I part of community web themes or wut?! :)
[15:36] <newz2000> I guess the foreigner here is me. I'm the one who's out of touch.
[15:37] <stas> nah, you're fine
[15:37] <stas> 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] <stas> adding an img tag to that page is a snap
[15:38] <newz2000> ok, that sounds like a reasonable way to do it
[15:56] <imbrandon> stas / newz2000 what about using the new FB herku platform ? i'd be willing to codify it up
[15:56] <newz2000> imbrandon: that's not the prob
[15:56] <stas> imbrandon, does that brings the fb widgets back into the API?
[15:56] <imbrandon> ahh kk
[15:56] <stas> :)
[15:57] <imbrandon> newz btw did you get my query the other day ?
[15:57] <newz2000> imbrandon: yes, I was away then, but that's cool.
[15:58] <newz2000> when do you leave for CA?
[15:58] <newz2000> oh, wait, we haven't even had the release yet
[15:58] <imbrandon> yea it was nuts, and i dont have to anymore, negotiated to wfh
[15:58] <imbrandon> :)
[15:58] <newz2000> oh, maybe I didn't get it
[15:58] <imbrandon> oh i thought you ment my new job
[15:58] <imbrandon> heh
[15:59] <newz2000> cool, something fun?
[15:59] <imbrandon> i told ya about the car hitting the pole friday, then ask about some insider theme access , then a new job :)
[15:59] <imbrandon> yea, i get to play with twitter bootstrap all day in the cloud
[15:59] <imbrandon> then blog about it :)
[16:00] <imbrandon> havent finished the paperwork yet though so i havent made a blogpost telling the world :)
[16:13] <mhall119> stas: newz2000: I have access to the Ubuntu FB page if you need me to add something for the countdown
[16:14] <newz2000> mhall119: we don't really need anything, do you want to add the countdown banner to it?
[16:14] <mhall119> will it keep updating?
[16:36] <newz2000> mhall119: yeah, it's just a static image that changes each day
[16:36] <newz2000> for best results, pick 1 2 or 3
[17:47] <mhall119> um...3?
[19:22] <newz2000> 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] <mhall119> oh geez, there might be somethign really good behind door #2....
[19:23] <newz2000> actually, the irony of that is your nick
[19:23] <newz2000> mhall could be you or it could be monty hall
[19:23] <mhall119> who?
[19:23] <newz2000> the guy from that game show
[19:24] <mhall119> oh
[19:24] <newz2000> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem
[19:24] <mhall119> it's wayne brady now
[19:24] <newz2000> oh, that show is back?
[19:24] <newz2000> 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] <mhall119> newz2000: you know, a goat might actually result in less work for me than picking a door that contains an image...
[19:28] <mhall119> and yes, the show it back
[19:28] <newz2000> I wonder if the contests on that show actually get to keep the goat.
[19:28] <newz2000> Because, honestly, I hate mowing the grass. A goat may be handy.
[19:28] <mhall119> heh
[19:28] <newz2000> Getting it home from California may be troublesome
[19:29] <mhall119> nah,  just get a large dog carrier and fly it
[19:29] <mhall119> or rent a uHaul or mini-van and drive it
[19:29] <newz2000> I suspect I can buy a goat locally cheaper than uhauling it home.
[19:29] <mhall119> (note:  get damage insurance if going with the mini-van option)
[19:30] <newz2000> wow, you can get a goat for only $50
[19:30]  * newz2000 don't know how he got to this point
