[02:04] <edo9k> Hi
[02:04] <edo9k> I'm looking for some advice
[02:05] <edo9k> I'm looking for a screen saver for ubuntu, with RSS support.
[02:05] <edo9k> can anyone give a pointer on this?
[20:36] <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
[20:37] <dholbach> ajmitch, ah awesome - can you submit a merge proposal?
[20:37] <ajmitch> yeah, it's fairly minimal change
[20:38]  * 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
[20:39] <ajmitch> I know this'll be obsoleted by whatever new process comes along in a few months :)
[20:42] <dholbach> awesome
[20:42]  * dholbach hugs ajmitch
[21:26] <cwayne> dholbach: hello
[21:26] <dholbach> hi cwayne
[21:27] <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 :)
[21:28] <dholbach> no, I don't remember
[21:28] <dholbach> it's been a while :)
[21:30] <cwayne> dholbach: heh, no worries :) (thanks again for the help btw!)
[21:37] <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?
[21:38] <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 :)
[21:39] <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 :)
[21:40] <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
[21:41] <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
[21:42] <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?
[21:43]  * 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
[21:44] <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?
[21:45] <ajmitch> they rank those 2 above NOTA, and the 1 below
[21:45] <ajmitch> debian uses a similar system
[21:46] <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)
[21:48]  * ajmitch also doesn't know of a good way to get more people interested
[21:50] <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
[21:51] <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
[21:52] <dholbach> thanks
[21:52] <wendar> ajmitch: though, just making it less tedious would probably help
[21:52] <ajmitch> yes
[21:53] <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
[21:54] <wendar> so it's just you and alessio
[21:54] <wendar> for 6 slots?
[21:55] <ajmitch> does the poll have to be set for 6 slots?
[21:56] <wendar> it could be 2
[21:57] <wendar> it asks how many candidates will be successful
[21:59]  * ajmitch guesses that will work
[22:07] <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 :)
[22:08] <ajmitch> I'll have to give it a shot later
[22:08] <ajmitch> currently there's nothing inaccurate in it, just outdated
[22:19] <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 :)
[22:20] <ajmitch> might be :)
[22:20] <ajmitch> that will probably count against me
[22:25] <wendar> heh
[22:33] <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
[22:34] <ajmitch> I have, it looks alright
[22:37] <wendar> okay, thanks! shipping out to the lot of them
