| hobgoblin | how's Thursday morning looking dpm ? | 06:51 |
| dpm | looking busy, but I think it's going to be a good day ;) | 06:53 |
| hobgoblin | nice | 06:54 |
| dholbach | good morning | 07:04 |

| s-fox | Hello | 08:21 |
| dholbach | james_w, you might like this one: http://www.breaksblog.biz/random-movement-podcast-24-082011/ | 14:32 |
| technoviking | s-fox: got booted from the mod channel again | 15:16 |
| nigelb | AlanBell / popey - Heh, http://hackedirl.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/epic-win-photos-british-tank-win.jpg | 15:26 |
| popey | that looks normal | 15:27 |
| nigelb | hahaha | 15:28 |
| jcastro | dpm: confused | 15:50 |
| jcastro | I am seeing the "download for ubuntu" button | 15:50 |
| jcastro | is it better to use that than the software center icon you made before? | 15:50 |
| dpm | jcastro, yeah, that's the new button we should use. My buttons were temporary until the design team created some proper ones, and it seems they did. I didn't realize they were ready until this morning | 15:55 |
| jcastro | http://shutter-project.org/downloads/ | 15:55 |
| jcastro | it looks blurry to me | 15:55 |
| dpm | jcastro, yeah, it does a bit. I'll have to talk to jono or davidpitkin to see the originals | 15:59 |
| jcastro | marcoceppi: it should be easy with the tiny url to swap out the image right? | 16:02 |
| jcastro | is jono out today? | 16:21 |
| mhall119 | he emailed that he might be late today | 16:23 |
| marcoceppi | jcastro: yeah, let me know the updated URL for the image and I can switch it out | 16:23 |
| jcastro | marcoceppi: I have hesitations on this new one, it's blurry | 16:24 |
| jcastro | we'll see what dpm finds out | 16:24 |
| marcoceppi | kk | 16:24 |
| dpm | jcastro, yeah, I pinged davidpitkin a while ago, waiting for the answer | 16:24 |
| jcastro | no rush | 16:25 |
| jcastro | smart move with the quickurl marcoceppi | 16:25 |
| jcastro | I didn't want to go back and fix all those images | 16:25 |
| jcastro | dpm: I think your button is nicer! :) | 16:25 |
| * dpm is flattered :) | 16:25 | |
| dpm | not sure about it, but thanks :-) | 16:25 |
| mhall119 | I also liked yours better | 16:31 |
| mhall119 | but maybe I'm just being anti-change | 16:31 |
| dpm | :) | 16:34 |
| dpm | ok, want to finish something by the end of today, but time for a break, bbl | 17:04 |
| dpm | ok, forgot to do something... | 17:05 |
| nigelb | ... stop working? | 17:09 |
| nigelb | did you forget to stop working? :P | 17:10 |
| dpm | ah, that must be it :) | 17:10 |
| * dpm away's | 17:11 | |
| dholbach | alright my friends - I call it a day - see you all tomorrow | 17:36 |
| jono | hey folks | 17:58 |
| jono | balloons, how are we doing on A1 mandatory testing? | 18:08 |
| * jono waits for good news | 18:08 | |
| jono | ;-) | 18:08 |
| balloons | heh | 18:08 |
| balloons | we have 100% mandatory coverage | 18:08 |
| jono | \m/ rock and roll \m/ | 18:10 |
| * jono hi-fives balloons | 18:10 | |
| balloons | yep, definitely good stuff | 18:11 |
| jono | balloons, very nice work | 18:11 |
| jono | balloons, btw, when are you going for Ubuntu Membership? | 18:11 |
| balloons | as soon as they meet.. | 18:11 |
| * balloons has to check again on the schedule, the page was down last time | 18:11 | |
| jono | balloons, please do, I want to get you up on planet | 18:14 |
| jono | mhall119, nice work on the pkgme blog | 18:15 |
| jono | mhall119, could you follow up and be more explicit about which backends we need | 18:16 |
| jono | I think we should run this as a "call for backends" type thing | 18:16 |
| jono | your post is a great foundation for this | 18:16 |
| jcastro | heya jono | 18:37 |
| jcastro | last call for alcohol before I got on the long weekend if you wanna catch up | 18:37 |
| mhall119 | jono: sure, you want me to just list the ones I mentioned in my blog, or others? | 18:37 |
| jcastro | the only thing we need to discuss is the juju governance stuff imo, but that's not like burning on fire or anything | 18:37 |
| jono | jcastro, I haven't had a chance to look into, lets do it next week | 18:43 |
| jono | it isnt urgent | 18:43 |
| jono | and today I am slammed | 18:43 |
| jcastro | \m/ | 18:43 |
| jono | mhall119, I think you should highlight the ones we most need and write about each one, say what is needed, what the backend is likely going to need to do, etc | 18:43 |
| jono | and explicitly ask for volunteers to write the backends and post in the comments if they are working on something so people can collaborate | 18:43 |
| jono | mhall119, and then reach out specifically to people who you think might be interested in helping | 18:44 |
| mhall119 | jono: ok, that's going to require that I learn what the backends are going to need to do | 18:49 |
| jono | mhall119, ask james_w to summarize | 18:50 |
| jono | mhall119, our goal here is to get as many folks up to speed on what is involved so that they learn the skills to write the backend | 18:50 |
| mhall119 | jono: what the backend code needs to do is specific to the build system it's targetting. The instructions I gave on my blog, and the ones I linked to on pkgme.net, are as specific as you can get without going into details about how different build systems work | 19:04 |
| jono | mhall119, right, so I think you need to summarize, but I think that right now we are not setting people up for success enough: we need them to feel a grasp for the scope of the problem so they can work on it | 19:06 |
| jono | I think this means a summary of what work would be involved for a backend, and maybe a contact person who they can ask questions to | 19:06 |
| jono | maybe we can have a contact for each backend? | 19:06 |
| mhall119 | a contact would probably help, we currently have Qt/qmake, Flash and HTML5 as targets, who would be good for those? | 19:07 |
| mhall119 | I don't recall who did the qt template for quickly, but that might be a good contact for a qmake backend | 19:11 |
| balloons | mhall119, how is the qt quickly template? | 19:15 |
| balloons | I may try and mess around with qt this cycle | 19:16 |
| mhall119 | balloons: I haven't tried it, but dpm demo'd it and it looks nice | 19:21 |
| jono | mhall119, I am not sure, can you find people who can be contacts, people who have an experience of those build systems | 19:31 |
| mhall119 | I'll ask around | 19:35 |
| jono | thanks mhall119 | 19:46 |
| jono | I think this will really help improve the chances of good contributions | 19:46 |
| mhall119 | jono: I have 6 target backends, I'm trying to get a rough idea of what is required for each | 19:47 |
| jono | mhall119, cool | 19:48 |
| balloons | can anyone recommend a good ppa manager? | 21:35 |
| balloons | googling led me here, which seems interesting enough, but.. http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/y-ppa-manager-easily-search-add-remove.html | 21:35 |
| mhall119 | balloons: make one :) | 21:45 |
| balloons | mhall119, let's just say i'm discovering the limits to ppa-purge | 21:45 |
| mhall119 | that doesn't sound like a good thing to discover | 21:45 |
| balloons | :-) | 21:46 |
| balloons | fyi on that tool.. wow is it borked | 21:48 |
| balloons | good ideas, bad execution | 21:48 |
| balloons | now I get to do even more manual cleanup... | 21:48 |
| popey | I've not had issues with it.. | 21:48 |
| mhall119 | me either | 21:49 |
| popey | https://code.launchpad.net/~popey/+junk/purgealltheppas | 21:49 |
| mhall119 | in fact, it saved me more than once last cycle | 21:49 |
| popey | i use that too ☺ | 21:49 |
| balloons | popey, ahh! | 21:49 |
| balloons | I knew there was something around like that | 21:49 |
| balloons | it doesn't exist in ppa purge | 21:49 |
| balloons | fyi, I was speaking of the y-ppa-manager, not ppa purge | 21:49 |
| popey | ahh | 21:49 |
| balloons | ppa purge works, although I found something it fell down on today | 21:50 |
| bkerensa | weird I cant boot to live usb anymore... ubuntu splash starts but then my laptop reboots =/ | 21:51 |
| mhall119 | w 26 | 21:57 |
