pleia2mhall119: ever find a summary for the app dev stuff? I still don't have content for a blog post and it's supposed to start tomorrow02:05
pleia2I don't think it's been announced anywhere, didn't get in UWN02:06

dholbachgood morning07:01
dholbachI have an off-topic question, but I need to get a new mobile today (mine didn't survive the WE) - which ones do you have? can you recommend them? what doesn't work so well?08:04
dholbachI tried to do some research last night, but the sheer mass of different phones makes it quite hard08:05
hobgoblinmornign dholbach08:09
hobgoblinI'd answer you - but my idea of a mobile is one that costs £10 and phones and texts ...08:10
nigelbdholbach: Are you looking for a smart phone or one that does calls and texts?08:14
nigelbIf you're out for a smart phone, I've heard good things about Galaxy Nexus series (SII in particular), and the Note (if you're comfortable with such a large thing), and there's always the iPhone but may involve needing to deal with iTunes (never pleasant).08:16
hobgoblinnigelb: I'd ssupect the former :)08:16
nigelbhobgoblin: heh, me too.08:17
czajkowskialoha08:20
hobgoblinmorning08:20
jussidholbach: I have an N9 (actually N950) and love it, but the lack of apps is a big downer. I have also owned a Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro and its real nice, if a bit plastically08:21
jussiI have a samsung wave with bada, which is rubbish08:22
hobgoblinjussi: send it to me then :)08:22
jussiand the next planned phone will be a Galaxy Note.08:22
jussihobgoblin: its owned by the company, sorry08:22
hobgoblin:)08:22
jussihobgoblin: Ive a zte blade with a cracked screen if you want it :P08:23
hobgoblin:)08:23
jussiI just noticed somethign, I have way too many pgones08:23
dholbachup until yesterday I had an "old phone" which did calls and text messages and had lots of battery life - I'm not sure I have many use-cases for a smart phone08:23
jussidholbach: ahh, a "feature phone" :P08:23
dholbachthanks a lot for your answers - I have to admit I'm still confused :)08:25
hobgoblinso would I be dholbach08:25
jussidholbach: you might want to consider *gasp* a nokia thing with symbian and a touchscreen keyboad combo. ie. http://www.gigantti.fi/product/puhelimet-ja-gps/matkapuhelimet/NOK303GRAPHIT/nokia-asha-303-grafiitin-harmaa08:25
jussiThat should give you battery life, plus email and a few smartphones features that can be useful, at a nice budget price08:28
dholbachcool08:29
dholbachthanks a lot08:29
dholbachI guess I'll just take the dog for a walk and see what I come home with08:29
dholbachI really need to get the phone now - hearing text messages come in you can't read is horrible :)08:29
jussihehe08:29
dholbachso see you in a bit08:29
jussilaters08:29
czajkowskihows folks?10:34
jussiczajkowski: o/10:38

dholbachhaha10:38
dholbachyes, another "old school phone"10:38
jussidholbach: what did you get?10:39
dholbachI wanted to have something new immediately and something I don't have to charge every hour10:39
dholbacha Nokia C2 something10:39
jussiahh yes10:39
jussiwalk in, do you have something I dont have to charge every hour and is in stock? yes sir, here you are. pay, walk out.10:40
jussidholbach: something like that?10:40
czajkowskisimples10:40
jussi:ds10:40
dholbachyes, very much like that :)10:40
alouriedholbach: that's a bad phone10:45
czajkowskialourie: not if you just want to make calls and sms10:45
dholbachalourie, I guess I'll find out over time :-)10:45
czajkowskiit does what it says on the tin10:45
alourieczajkowski: my mother in law has it10:45
alourieit's terrible10:46
dholbachalourie, anything I should particularly watch out for?10:46
alouriedholbach: sound quality10:46
alourieit's sometimes unbearable10:46
alouriebut10:46
alourieit may be this specific one's problem10:46
alourieI hope your will be ok10:47
alourie*yours10:47

jcastrodpm: wow, lots of app-dev tag activity over the weekend14:18
dpmjcastro, yeah, trying to cope with all the questions right now, that's awesome :) jokerdino and mhall119 have been rocking at answering them too14:19
jokerdinowait, no.. i just subscribed to the tag :)14:21
dpmthere you go, just subscribed and already rocking the tag14:22
mhall119dpm: do you want to try one of these on-air hangouts?14:27
dpmmhall119, yeah, let's go for it.14:28
czajkowskimhall119: link? and can anyone join?14:29
mhall119huh...gotta verify a youtube account14:29
dpmmhall119, ok, you're starting it, then?14:29
dpmczajkowski, we're on it :)14:29
mhall119dpm: yeah14:29
dpmcool14:30
mhall119hmmmm, I verified, now it wants me to upload a video14:30

jokerdinoPG-13 room right? :D14:37
czajkowskitalk about giving a person a heart attack14:38
jokerdinojcastro: not sure if you have already discussed this, dpm created the ubuntuappshowdown tag and was looking for it.14:38
jcastrodpm: yeah I removed that tag14:43
jcastrowe didn't really need it, I think just dumping everything into app-dev works better14:43
czajkowskicjohnston: mhall119 https://plus.google.com/photos/102921374554385564572/albums/5730819334465556225/575529238527556022614:46
cjohnstonnot as good14:46
cjohnston:-P14:46
AlanBelljokerdino: "feck" is an irish word that is apparently not very rude, we tend to believe czajkowski when she claims that14:47
czajkowskiit is you should know14:47
czajkowskicjohnston: it's the caption that makes this though14:47
jokerdinoi know feck is an irish word. i have read paddy clark hahaha :) (which is actually more vulgar)14:48
mhall119AlanBell: I think she means "not very rude for the Irish"14:48
jokerdinoactually i am not sure what i am talking about. goes off to scoot.14:48
mhall119which is entirely different from "not very rude"14:48
czajkowskimhall119: indeed14:49
jokerdinoi am trying to make some sense here.14:51
dholbachhey jono15:01
dpmjcastro, no worries re: the tag, I was just curious as to what had happened to it15:02
jono_hey dholbach15:02
jono_all set?15:02
dholbachyep15:02
jono_cool one sec15:02
jono_dpm, the button on http://developer.ubuntu.com/showdown/workshops/participate/ doesnt work15:03
dpmjono_, mhall119 is setting up the hangout right now15:04
jono_ahh cool15:04
jono_mhall119, be sure to record it :-)15:04
mhall119http://youtu.be/UwbRQUCb5XM15:04
jono_mhall119, I can see you live15:04
mhall119can everyone see that?15:04
czajkowskimhall119: yes15:04
czajkowskimhall119: yes and I can hear you15:05
dpmyeah, here too15:06
mhall119everybody please join #ubuntu-classroom and #ubuntu-classroom-chat15:06
dpmjono_, yeah, we've been making tests before we started. popey and his wild stare were also featured in the test15:06
czajkowskilol15:07
dpmmhall119, is the youtube link the one to use, or do we need a G+ one?15:07
jcastrohey what are we doing?15:10
jcastrooh this is the workshop15:11
jono_dholbach, https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/3b1947c021d4cb9bf8cd1ee932ac8348e97b983a?authuser=0&hl=en-US15:16
jono_jcastro, intro to Python15:16
dholbachjono_, en route15:16
pleia2dpm, mhall119, can you guys please keep the classroom team a bit more in the loop about sessions? we never got anything to post on the blog, and didn't realize these would be g+ based15:27
pleia2we should probably talk about how to handle g+ sessions, folks who are on slower connections or at work during them can't view them, so we need to make sure we set appropriate expectations15:28
cjohnstonpleia2: hangouts on air ftw :-)15:31
pleia2cjohnston: nothing wrong with them, but I'm the one who has to deal with flak when people complain that they thought things on the classroom schedule are irc-based ;)15:31
cjohnstonI don't disagree.. Was just commenting about the not being able to view them.. they will still be able to view, just not live15:32
cjohnstonalthough I don't think it would be a bad thing to expand the classroom outside of just IRC, just need to ensure that IRC doesn't get abandoned15:34
pleia2we just need better communication, if we were given the opportunity to announce how these would go I'd feel a lot more comfortable about it, but in spite of asking I never got anything15:35
cjohnstonsure15:36
czajkowskirather cool I can see dpm on various screens in the office here15:48
czajkowskilooks cool!15:48
dpm:)15:49
jcastropopey: the slower rate of video encodes is awesome15:56
jcastrothey're still posting content to the ubuntudeveloper channel15:56
jcastroit's really extending the content. :)15:57
PiciWhere should we be directing folks asking about the developer workshop things?16:18
Pici-classroom?16:18
Picilooks like it, going with that.16:20
cjohnstonPici: provided there is anyone in there to ask about it16:20
cjohnston(answer questions)16:21
pleia2maybe -classroom-chat (no one is talking in -classroom and it's moderated)16:21
Picipleia2: I provided both channel names :)16:24
pleia2\o/16:25
dholbachjono_, mail sent - more tomorrow16:37
* dholbach calls it a day16:37
dholbachsee you all tomorrow16:38
bkerensamhall119: do we have a ETA on getting a AWS instance up for SUMO Evaluation?16:38
mhall119bkerensa: not today :)16:40
bkerensamhall119: ;) sounds good16:40
akgranerDoes anyone know who runs this youtube site? - http://www.youtube.com/user/planetubuntu16:55
bkerensaakgraner: maybe https://twitter.com/#!/boredandbloggin since he runs @planetubuntu on twitter?17:05
akgranerbkerensa, nope  - I would have access to it if he did17:06
bkerensahuh17:06
akgranerbkerensa, he doesn't17:06
akgranerI don't think this is an official channel and some of our Connect vidoes are up without attribution and my boss asked me to look into it - that's all17:07
Andy80hi all17:08
Andy80I'd like to bring your attention to this project https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuReleaseSprint :) I talked about it during the last UDS with dpm , Jono and Daniel Holbach. Then I was a bit busy with other things, but... anyway, please give it a look and feel free to comment or improve the wiki etc..., thanks :)17:11
balloonshi Andy80 ..17:18
Andy80balloons: hi17:19
balloonsfolks are a bit busy today with the app developer showcase, but your idea is interesting17:20
balloonsis this intended for community blueprints?17:20
Andy80oh thanks! Sorry if I didn't ping you back before, but I was really busy (moved to another country for 3 months) now I've finally a bit of spare time17:21
Andy80it's intended both for community blueprints and all the other stuff discussed during UDS... basically it's a sort of "ok guys, let's see where we are at the moment, let's discuss if we're in time, how we can improve, if we need more help etc..."17:22
Andy80we don't need to spend a whole week re-capping every blueprint discussed.... I would start with 2 or 3 days and few blueprints. I mean... let's see if it's really useful and productive without spending a whole week 7-8 hours/day17:23
mhall119jono_: you going to be ready in 30 minutes for the GTK and Glade sessions?17:24
jcastrohah17:25
jcastrompt is awesome17:25
jono_mhall119, dpm is down for the GTK session17:25
jono_I am doing the Glade one17:25
mhall119ok17:25
jcastro"As for unresponsive and buggy applications, traditionally many open-source developers have thought that “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow” relieved them from needing to perform standard quality assurance processes such as test suites, error collection, and fuzz testing."17:25
mhall119dpm: will you be ready then?17:25
balloonsjcastro, lol.. mpt said that?17:25
jono_I can join the GTK session to help though if needed17:25
jcastroballoons: yeah on reddit17:26
jono_mhall119, I am definitely free for the Glade session17:26
mhall119jono_: it seems to help having 2 people, even if it's just one to monitor questions17:26
jono_mhall119, ok, I will join in a supporting role17:26
jono_lets see if dpm is free17:26
balloonsAndy80, well.. although it's not blueprints, g+ is being used right now to do the Ubuntu App Developer Showdown Workshops17:27
balloonsAndy80, http://smarturl.it/ubuntuappshowdown17:28
Andy80balloons: cool :) my idea is having a small group discussing live (maybe the people working on that task) and the other people from home can make questions using the chat.17:29
dpmjono_, mhall119, yes, I was already planning to run the gtk3 session17:29
Andy80it doesn't cost like an UDS and allows people that in any other case would have not attended, to attend and give their opinion17:30
dpmAndy80, we're happy to discuss this, but right now we're a bit busy with the live Ubuntu App Developer Workshops17:30
dpmPersonally, I think it would be a good idea, but not as a replacement for UDS17:31
Andy80dpm: yeah, balloons told me and I'm also following the live video :) I'll ping you back next week if you want and we can continue discussing this... or maybe tell me which one is the more appropriate mailing list...17:31
Andy80dpm: no no! not an UDS replacement.... something to fit in the middle between two UDSs17:32
jono_dpm, cool, I might join it too if that is ok17:33
dpmnever!17:33
dpmjono_, absolutely :), I'm going to join the Quickly session in a few mins too, I'm just preparing the last touches to the gtk3 session17:34
jono_thanks dpm17:34
mhall119dpm: let me know if you need another invite17:36
dpmok, cool, will try to join in a few17:36
jcastropleia2: woo that userdays WI!17:49
pleia2jcastro: yeah :D still need to fill a couple slots but we're mostly set for UD on saturday17:53
mhall119dpm: I'm going to hop off during your session for lunch17:55
dpmmhall119, no worries, go for it17:56
jono_dpmwhere do I join the hangout?18:00
jono_dpm where do I join the hangout?18:00
dpmmhall119, can you invite jono_?18:01
mhall119I did, I'll invite him again18:01
mhall119sent18:01
dpmcan you guys see me?18:05
mhall119doing sessions on G+ hangouts really needs better comment/chat integration18:22
AlanBellmhall119: could be done18:22
AlanBellembed the live youtube thingie in a page with IRC web client in it18:23
AlanBellor . . . someone could write a desktop application during the next three weeks to do just that . . .18:24
mhall119+118:24
mhall119but the youtube feed also has comments, the G+ status update has it's own comments, and then we have the IRC comments18:25
AlanBellright, so such an app would need to sort that somehow18:27
czajkowskievening folks18:49
