| edo9k | Hi | 02:04 |
|---|---|---|
| edo9k | I'm looking for some advice | 02:04 |
| edo9k | I'm looking for a screen saver for ubuntu, with RSS support. | 02:05 |
| edo9k | can anyone give a pointer on this? | 02:05 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: just to distract you, I've got a change to apps-brancher so it works with the current myapps :) | 20:36 |
| ajmitch | since the scraping didn't work, all the apps are in one json string in the page | 20:36 |
| dholbach | ajmitch, ah awesome - can you submit a merge proposal? | 20:37 |
| ajmitch | yeah, it's fairly minimal change | 20:37 |
| * ajmitch was using that for a list which will have (once working) arb-lint & licensecheck run over the queue, I'm tyring to make it look like the sponsoring list sorted by last response time | 20:38 | |
| ajmitch | I know this'll be obsoleted by whatever new process comes along in a few months :) | 20:39 |
| dholbach | awesome | 20:42 |
| * dholbach hugs ajmitch | 20:42 | |
| cwayne | dholbach: hello | 21:26 |
| dholbach | hi cwayne | 21:26 |
| cwayne | dholbach: heya, i was just wondering if you happened to remember what you needed to change on unity-lens-vm? i feel that i'll probably have to make the same changes to my new lens | 21:27 |
| cwayne | oh or is the branch still active, i could just look at that i suppose :) | 21:27 |
| dholbach | no, I don't remember | 21:28 |
| dholbach | it's been a while :) | 21:28 |
| cwayne | dholbach: heh, no worries :) (thanks again for the help btw!) | 21:30 |
| ajmitch | you want to find wendar or coolbhavi to vote on it | 21:37 |
| ajmitch | iirc you pinged the list about it a few days ago? | 21:37 |
| wendar | cwayne: hi, sorry, been meaning to double check and make sure I voted on that one | 21:38 |
| ajmitch | hi wendar :) | 21:38 |
| wendar | hi ajmitch :) | 21:38 |
| ajmitch | sorry, didn't really mean to disturb you from work | 21:39 |
| wendar | no worries | 21:39 |
| wendar | I haven't been having much luck getting the DMB to post our Launchpad vote | 21:39 |
| wendar | though, I got a lot of discussion about which tools might be more appropriate :) | 21:39 |
| cwayne | hey wendar, thanks a lot! ( i hope i haven't been *too* annoying lately :) ) | 21:40 |
| ajmitch | usually CIVS | 21:40 |
| wendar | cwayne: no worries, thanks for the reminder :) | 21:40 |
| ajmitch | I'm surprised that launchpad still has polls | 21:40 |
| wendar | ajmitch: right, but CIVS doesn't work when you have more spaces than candidates | 21:40 |
| wendar | ajmitch: so I talked with the CC after the last vote and they said "use a Launchpad poll for a confirmation vote" | 21:41 |
| ajmitch | darn | 21:41 |
| wendar | ajmitch: so I updated the process to match what the CC said | 21:41 |
| ajmitch | who have you talked to to get a poll up on LP? | 21:41 |
| wendar | ajmitch: but, yeah, everyone on the DMB seems to agree an LP poll isn't the right way to do it | 21:41 |
| ajmitch | not surprising :) | 21:41 |
| wendar | ajmitch: I CCd the entire DMB, but off list | 21:41 |
| wendar | ajmitch: I'm open to other ideas | 21:42 |
| ajmitch | does CIVS not work with confirmation vote for 3 people, assuming it's 1 new & 2 renewals? | 21:42 |
| wendar | ajmitch: any thoughts on how to take a yes/no/abstain poll of the entire ubuntu-devel membership, for only confirmation? | 21:42 |
| * ajmitch can't remember if you were putting your name forward again or didn't have time | 21:43 | |
| wendar | I'm not, because I'm not qualified under the new rules | 21:43 |
| ajmitch | no, I don't really know what other voting options there are | 21:43 |
| wendar | CIVS only allows you to rank the candidates | 21:43 |
| wendar | selecting some number of seats from some larger pool | 21:43 |
| wendar | what we need is a yes/no/abstain vote on each candidate | 21:44 |
| ajmitch | confirmation votes can be done there by including a 'none of the above' | 21:44 |
| wendar | but, what if they only want to approve 2 and decline 1? | 21:44 |
| ajmitch | they rank those 2 above NOTA, and the 1 below | 21:45 |
| ajmitch | debian uses a similar system | 21:45 |
| wendar | hmmm... I can try it | 21:46 |
| wendar | we do have lots of nice scripts for pulling ubuntu devel addresses | 21:46 |
| wendar | (to inject into CIVS) | 21:46 |
| * ajmitch also doesn't know of a good way to get more people interested | 21:48 | |
| ajmitch | perhaps having regular discussions with those who've show interest in being an arb helper | 21:50 |
| wendar | ajmitch: it's partly a chicken-and-egg problem: it would be a lot more attractive without the backlog, but we need more help to clear the backlog | 21:50 |
| ajmitch | yep | 21:50 |
| ajmitch | and just that reviewing isn't fun :) | 21:51 |
| ajmitch | dholbach: welcome back | 21:51 |
| ajmitch | it's nice to have you around in a sane timezone ;) | 21:51 |
| wendar | ajmitch: yeah, I'm not sure how to make it more fun | 21:51 |
| dholbach | thanks | 21:52 |
| wendar | ajmitch: though, just making it less tedious would probably help | 21:52 |
| ajmitch | yes | 21:52 |
| wendar | bhavi's term isn't ending, right? | 21:53 |
| ajmitch | do we have a wiki page about how arb contributors can help? | 21:53 |
| ajmitch | you're right, it's not | 21:53 |
| wendar | so it's just you and alessio | 21:54 |
| wendar | for 6 slots? | 21:54 |
| ajmitch | does the poll have to be set for 6 slots? | 21:55 |
| wendar | it could be 2 | 21:56 |
| wendar | it asks how many candidates will be successful | 21:57 |
| * ajmitch guesses that will work | 21:59 | |
| wendar | ajmitch: do you want to update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AndrewMitchell/ARB? | 22:07 |
| wendar | (so I can link it from the poll) | 22:07 |
| ajmitch | not really, it'd require me being creative :) | 22:07 |
| ajmitch | I'll have to give it a shot later | 22:08 |
| ajmitch | currently there's nothing inaccurate in it, just outdated | 22:08 |
| wendar | ajmitch: okay, I'll link it in. it's probably worth mentioning that you've been on the ARB for 2 years now, for anyone who's not in-the-know :) | 22:19 |
| ajmitch | might be :) | 22:20 |
| ajmitch | that will probably count against me | 22:20 |
| wendar | heh | 22:25 |
| wendar | ajmitch: you should have just gotten a poll request, tell me if it looks sane | 22:33 |
| wendar | if so, I'll add the rest of ubuntu-dev | 22:33 |
| ajmitch | I have, it looks alright | 22:34 |
| wendar | okay, thanks! shipping out to the lot of them | 22:37 |
