popeywho is mitesh shah?14:43
jcastrono clue14:44
* popey pokes him14:46
SergioMenesespopey, jcastro hello! is ubuntu-on-air event public?14:48
jcastroof course!14:48
SergioMenesesok... I hope yo be present14:50
SergioMeneses*to14:50
popeyjcastro, did you make an ubuntuonair page? if not I'll do it now.14:51
jcastrohuh?14:51
jcastrowe have one14:51
jcastroubuntuonair.com14:51
popeyno, a G+ page14:51
popeythat people can follow14:51
popeycan then create an event14:52
SergioMenesespopey, +114:52
jcastrobut what about this page?14:52
popeyhmmmm14:52
SergioMenesesthe page can give information, events, photos, ...14:52
jcastrowe have a page already14:53
popeythe ubuntuonair.com was originally only intented to be a nice shortcut to get to it14:53
popeywhich could point at anythingf14:53
jcastroit's fine14:53
jcastroseriously, you guys are putting more effort making more things to maintain than the actual event.14:53
popeysays the guy who spun up a cloud14:53
popey:)14:53
jcastrobecause you decided to make a webpage to send people to!14:54
SergioMenesesjcastro, you're right14:54
jcastrowe could have just done a G+ account14:54
popeybecause ubuntuonair.com is easier to remember than a long G+ url14:54
jcastrobut for some reason we had to have a twitter14:54
popeythats all14:54
jcastroan irc channel14:54
jcastroa bot14:54
jcastroa council14:54
jcastroa mailing list14:54
jcastroa derivative distro14:54
jcastroand so on14:54
popeyrewind14:54
popeythe original intention of the domain was _just_ to point at the G+ hangout14:54
popeythat is _all_14:54
popeybecause G+ urls suck14:55
jcastrook so that's fine14:55
popeyand we can easily edit a page in WP and point it to the "current" hangout14:55
jcastroif you want to just make a G+ page14:55
jcastroand send it there14:55
jcastrothen we can do that.14:55
popeyi really dont mind :)14:55
popeyjust making sure you understand why it existed in the first place14:55
popeyit wasn't to make stuff for stuffs sake14:55
popeybut to make it easy to find14:55
jcastrooh I know exactly why it all exists14:55
jcastroinfrastructure brigade!14:56
popeyok, carry on.14:56
jcastroheh14:56
jcastrokeep calm, carry on14:56
jcastroballoons: hey, was this meeting cancelled and I missed it?15:02

JoseeAntonioRjcastro: https://plus.google.com/113179255019669411234/posts20:33
JoseeAntonioRthat's ubuntu on air's profile20:33
JoseeAntonioRit's now visible on search20:34
jcastrook so speakers need to follow this one for it to work right?20:34
JoseeAntonioRyep20:34
JoseeAntonioRI still can't find robert, will try with Leann and VanHoof20:35
JoseeAntonioRand Barton George too20:35
JoseeAntonioRdone, we just need Robert20:37
JoseeAntonioRjcastro: when are we having the test session with the speakers?20:42
jcastroall of them use G+ regularly, I don't think we need to do that.20:42
jcastrowhat we should do is practice the "launching" part20:42
JoseeAntonioRbdmurray asked for one20:42
jcastrolike all the stuff on that wiki page with the gotchas20:42
JoseeAntonioRlet me open it, one sec20:42
jcastrooh ok, then we'll done one with him I guess20:42
JoseeAntonioRlet me ping him20:43
JoseeAntonioRok, what about the launching part?20:44
JoseeAntonioRpopey: did you get the code for the widget?20:47
popeyno reply yet JoseeAntonioR20:48
JoseeAntonioRurgh, ok20:48
popeybut the date/time is clear on the page20:48
JoseeAntonioRyeah20:48
popeyi dont think we need it20:48
popeyoverkill20:48
JoseeAntonioRwell, right, no widget then :)20:49
JoseeAntonioRalso, there are tweets 10 mins before, so people won't miss it20:49
jcastroHow about a countdown?20:49
jcastroAnything that can make more work for popey perhaps?20:50
bkerensalol20:50
JoseeAntonioR:P20:50
bkerensajcastro: can popey make some flyers too? :P20:50
JoseeAntonioRyeah, they can be included in conference packs20:50
jcastropopey: Hey I met Andy Piper at OSCON20:50
popeynice chap isnt he?20:50
popeyhe's hosting next UUPC as I'm in IoM I think20:51
* popey shakes fist20:51
jcastrohe's pretty awesome, I've actually been searching for someone in his role at VMWare for weeks20:51
jcastrorunning into him was basically perfect for me20:51
popeyheh20:52
popeydid you know he works in the same building as we have our uk office now?20:52
popeyBluefin20:52
popeyfirst day i went in I bumped into him in the restaurant20:52
JoseeAntonioRjcastro: bdmurray's here20:52
bkerensaJoseeAntonioR: oh yeah? :P20:54
JoseeAntonioRnot in the channel, but active20:54
jcastrofeel free to just fire it up with him20:58
jcastrobbiab20:58
jcastro<-- out of caffeine, panic!20:58
JoseeAntonioRD:20:59
JoseeAntonioRpopey, jcastro: is the widget in ubuntuonair.com fine?20:59
popeyew21:00
jcastroleave the text there too21:00
jcastroalso ugly21:00
popeyi would just have the text there21:00
jcastrobut leave the text for readabilty, paste, etc.21:00
jcastrojono: also, http://wpengine.com/21:00
popeythe text also appears when you post the url in places as a preview which works nicely21:00
jonojcastro, looking at that now21:03
jcastroit's expensive relatively speaking, but it's the top tier, pro bloggers, etc.21:03
nigelbDoes heroku not have a solution for this?21:10
* nigelb is mildly surprised21:10
JoseeAntonioRjcastro: shall I invite you to the test session?21:13
bkerensajcastro: I guess you are a "Canonical developer relations executive" ;p21:14
jcastroindeed21:14
jcastronigelb: heroku to gost a blog?21:14
jcastroerr, host a blog?21:14
nigelbjcastro: maybe I'm thinking on different lines :D21:15
jcastroJoseeAntonioR: sure21:15
jcastronigelb: I think if he wanted to write his own web blogging platform and sell it as a service to others then yeah, heroku ftw.21:16
nigelbjcastro: heh, like a wp hosting service :P21:16
JoseeAntonioRdone21:16

bkerensabut I am using wpengine now21:18
bkerensafor right now anyways21:18

balloonswhoa21:19
balloonswhat on earth21:19
balloonsk - pushed it back21:19
balloonsit somehow got unpublished?21:19
balloonsfail blog21:20
jcastrojono: one thing you could do in the meantime or if you want to stay cheap is offload your images to S3 or google storage, there are transparent plugins that do all that for you21:21
jonojcastro, thanks21:21
jcastrobut that's not as as nice as a real wp provider, but it's cheap21:22
jcastroI put all my assets on GCS (before S3) and it's like 35 cents a month, then serving the images is done via google/amazon and not your wordpress install21:22
czajkowskiwill kill https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RvupLp2owOU/UA8RGeT2QcI/AAAAAAAAEoY/1lnHvjh6x0w/s928/Screenshot+from+2012-07-24+21%3A32%3A17.png21:24
mhall119I have the S3 media uploader plugin on my WP blog,it's really nice21:24
jcastroczajkowski: yeah after every call I killall -9 that thing21:24
mhall119adding the cache plugin helped boost performance on a t1.micro instance too21:24
jcastrootherwise *explosion sounds*21:24
czajkowskijcastro: really?21:26
czajkowskibugger21:26
czajkowskimhall119: that related to me?21:26
jcastroczajkowski: yep, sometimes when you close your browser it'll linger.21:26
jcastroyou need to check after every call you make and make sure it's dead dead.21:27
jcastrothough some days are better than others, mine's been behaving lately21:27
czajkowskijcastro: bugger, have sometimes 3 hangouts back to back over an hour each21:28
czajkowskijust seems to be going crazy atm21:28
czajkowskiwhat specifically do you kill ?21:28
jcastroGoogleTalkPlugin21:28
czajkowskias I'm in the moood to stab21:28
czajkowskijcastro: cheers21:28
jcastroclose your browser, super, "system", hit enter to run the system monitor, sort by name, kill.21:28
jcastrodon't worry, you'll be awesome at it soon. :)21:28

jcastromhall119: I actually expected you to be more of a static generator guy for a blog21:30
jcastrolike http://pelican.notmyidea.org/en/2.8/index.html or hyde21:31
mhall119jcastro: you keep preaching that21:33
mhall119but until Wordpress stops working for me, I'll probably keep using it21:33
jcastrowhat WP needs, which would be awesome21:33
jcastrois a plugin where you can put in an s3 or GSC bucket, then it would generate your entire site statically21:34
jcastroand then you could serve the entire thing from s3, etc.21:34
jcastroso you have the price/simplicity of static, but the nice gui features of wordpress21:34
mhall119that would be helpful21:36
snap-lI believe they called it Movable Type21:37
snap-land it was anything but pretty21:37
jcastroyeah but that's because you had to wait for it to finish21:39
jcastroit'd be nice if you could publish and it would all be live etc.21:40
jcastrobut in the background it would generate the files for you, etc.21:40
JoseeAntonioRjcastro: any issues with disqus?21:47
jcastrooh I didn't look into it21:48
JoseeAntonioRoh :P21:48
jcastrohmm, the page.php is correct, the DNS should be updated for them now21:49
JoseeAntonioRjcastro: btw, we've reached the 9 users limit21:52
JoseeAntonioRwhat did you wanted to talk about launching the session?\21:53
jcastrohow did we reach the limit?21:53
jcastrothey don't all go on at once21:53
jcastrothey just join, hang out, and then leave21:54
JoseeAntonioRno? oh, I thought so21:54
JoseeAntonioRgotcha now21:54
jcastrohmmm, I don't know why the comments don't work21:57
jcastrowill investigate tomorrow21:57
JoseeAntonioRok :)21:59
jcastrothat's my way of saying "please be DNS out of date still"22:00
JoseeAntonioRand it doesn't seem to work22:00
jcastroit won't work if they think the site is still on popey's server22:01
cjohnstonjono: got time for a quick chat? pm or your preference22:30
