benonsoftwareHow's it going dholbach?06:46
dholbachbenonsoftware, very well - I came from a hiking trip last night - it was all so nice and quiet :)06:47
dholbachI just uploaded some pictures earlier: https://plus.google.com/photos/109795858099658821877/albums/586955465740371700906:47

dholbachhey dpm, czajkowski, popey07:59
dpmmorning dholbach07:59
dpmand everyone07:59
* smartboyhw waves for an after school07:59
dholbachhi smartboyhw07:59
dholbachcan somebody please help out and review the pages marked as "needs review" on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityWebsite?11:26
dholbachit'd be much appreciated (and not too much work)11:26
smartboyhwdholbach, em I will try to review some parts;P11:27
dholbachthanks11:27
smartboyhwdholbach, confirming: The governance page is just copying right?11:30
dholbacheh?11:31
smartboyhwdholbach, it looks like so:P11:31
dholbachTBH I don't exactly know who provided the content11:31
dholbachit looked good to me, but I thought it'd be good if somebody looked over it once more11:31
smartboyhwdholbach, looking at Translations.11:32
dholbachcool11:32
smartboyhwdholbach, translation is OK except I added (United States) beside English11:35
smartboyhwAfter all there is English (United Kingdom)11:35
dholbachhum11:36
dholbachdpm ^11:36
* dholbach doesn't want to get dragged into decisions like this :-)11:36
smartboyhw:P11:37
dpmsmartboyhw, dholbach, I'd suggest following the same approach as the rest of the platform and provide en-US documentation as the source, and then have any other translations in addition. This means en-US does not need to be added as a translation11:38
smartboyhwdpm, no it means translating English (US) to other lang11:39
dpmsmartboyhw, ah, I see. This is just an overview. I don't think we need to be that specific there, I think saying just English should be fine11:40
smartboyhwdpm, OK11:40
* smartboyhw deletes:P11:40
dpmsmartboyhw, no worries, thanks a lot for reviewing!11:40
dholbachsmartboyhw, feel free to update the wiki with new statuses11:47
smartboyhwdholbach, laters.11:47
smartboyhwI might help to do support ones11:47
dholbachgreat! :)11:47
dholbachfantastic11:47
dholbachsome of the pieces of text just need a little bit of additional work11:47
smartboyhwdholbach, yep. it's missing the Forums and the Answers (detailed explanation) though11:48
dholbachsmartboyhw, I saw some of them mentioned in other places though11:48
smartboyhwdholbach, oh.11:48
smartboyhwForums is really a good way11:49
smartboyhwTo contribute11:49
dholbachyeah11:50

jonohey13:58
jonohey dholbach13:58
mhall119dholbach: yes, it uses the markdown plugin13:58
dholbachjcastro, I heard you like markdown...........................13:58
dholbachthanks mhall11913:58
tiagoscddholbach: :-)13:59
dholbachjcastro, how do I do <li>bla text <br />more text bla bla bla</li>? :)13:59
jcastromorning!14:04
jcastroyou do it like this, first a blank line14:04
jcastrothen14:04
jcastro- bullet point one14:04
jcastro- bullet point 214:04
jcastrobut you need a full blank line ahead of them14:04
jcastroeverytime you need a br do a full blank line14:04
jcastrodholbach: http://askubuntu.com/editing-help14:05
jcastrobut after a while you just memorize it14:05
dholbachjcastro, cool - I'll try that out14:05
dholbachjcastro, ok, that seems to generally work, but wordpress' markdown plugin seems to do some autoformatting of what I put into the textbox, so it doesn't work14:10
smartboyhwelfy, can you add some Ubuntu Forums thing into http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute-support ?14:10
elfywhy?14:10
elfywhat is it?14:10
smartboyhwelfy, the Community website for Ubuntu.14:11
smartboyhwdholbach is leading the effort to rewrite it.14:11
jonodholbach, dpm, jcastro, mhall119 can you please take a look at http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-raring/canonical-community-ubuntu-13.04-month-6.html - I want to get thi under control in the next few days14:11
smartboyhwAnd it misses the Ubuntu Forums part for the suport14:11
elfydoesn't mean anything to me - I have no idea what you're talking about smartboyhw14:11
dholbachjono, yep14:12
jcastrohmmm14:12
jonoit looks like dpm has the most TODOs14:12
jcastrowhere are my items?14:12
jonowhat a slacker14:12
jonolol14:12
jcastrooh14:12
jcastromine are on the other one14:12
jonojcastro, actually you are fine14:12
jcastrowhich probably looks like this14:12
smartboyhwelfy, ....14:12
jcastro"Nice burndown, I like how it looks like a flat top."14:12
smartboyhwdholbach, ^ please explain....14:13
dpmjono, otp, I know, sorry working on it :/14:13
dholbachelfy, so we had ubuntu.com/community for a while, which went out of date and generally wasn't very inviting14:13
dholbachelfy, so we're re-doing it and it will be a separate site - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityWebsite shows the current progress on things14:13
jonodpm, np :-)14:13
jcastrodholbach: I've not used the WP plugin, it doesn't have a raw markdown mode like it does for the normal thing?14:14
dholbachelfy, smartboyhw said it'd be nice to include some informations about the forums there too14:14
jcastrodholbach: what's answers.ubuntu.com?14:14
dholbachjcastro, yeah, but when you hit the "update" button it does some autoformatting business14:14
elfydholbach: I'll talk to FC about it and we'll look at it - but quite frankly we don't ever feel to be part of your community14:14
dholbachjcastro, I don't know - I assume whoever put it in there meant answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu14:14
jcastroI figured too14:15
dholbachelfy?14:15
dholbachelfy, what do you mean by "part of your community"?14:15
dholbachjcastro, do you have a link to the page where that's on?14:15
jcastrosmartboyhw: I assume you did the AU section?14:15
dholbachjcastro, nevermind - found it14:15
dholbachand fixed it14:16
smartboyhw..............14:18
smartboyhwjcastro, not me14:18
smartboyhwjcastro, probably jrgifford14:18
jcastroelfy: we should put something good on the page so people know how to get to use and use the forums14:18
smartboyhwDunno14:18
elfyjcastro: we will14:19
jcastropopey: man, spotify is awesome, I don't know why I put it off until now14:20
jcastroit's like super-pandora14:20
dholbachthanks elfy - as this page will be quite prominent, it should help a lot of new folks find the forums14:20
elfydholbach: I've bookmarked it, not working for a couple of days - will look then14:20
* dholbach hugs elfy14:20
elfydholbach: sort of like it used to be when you installed from the iso ;)14:20
dholbachelfy, no, this time it will be a GOOD, very prominent page ;-)14:21
elfyI has logs now :D14:21
dholbachelfy, it's a community effort, so let's make it happen together :)14:21
elfywe've been trying to do that for almost 10 years ;)14:22
dholbachdpm, with the community website being a wordpress site with individual pages for all the bits of text, do I assume rightly that making translations happen would be something like adding the same amount of subpages for every language manually?14:22
elfydholbach: anyway - I'll talk to those who need to be talked with and work on it over next couple of days14:23
dholbachelfy, all work on it will be appreciated :)14:23
dholbachrock on!14:23
jcastrobkerensa: ping!14:35
popeymhall119: come back, all is forgiven!14:39
dholbachjono, do you think you could add an original Jono Bacon quote® to http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-frontpage? not sure who brought up the idea, but I think it's a good one :)14:45
jcastroheh14:46
smartboyhwdholbach, I finished the Answers part of the support page.14:47
dholbachsmartboyhw, and? what's your verdict? better than my usual /quit message? :-P14:48
smartboyhwShould we ask somebody from the IRC Council to do the "You can do support in #ubuntu too!"14:48
smartboyhwdholbach, that's much better:P14:48
dholbachsmartboyhw, so apart from the #ubuntu bit we're ready to go on that one?14:48
smartboyhwdholbach, but why is Join an Ubuntu Local Community team and help people near you! http://loco.ubuntu.com14:48
smartboyhwas a support thign?14:49
smartboyhws/thign/thing/14:49
dholbachpeople in your local group can help you, no?14:49
dholbachit might not be the most immediate option, but I saw how many in Berlin found it helpful14:49
smartboyhwdholbach, add it to the last thing then. sadly I know nothing about LoCos. maybe czajkowski can help?14:50
dholbachsome carried their Desktop computers and CRT monitors to meetings just so somebody could fix them :)14:50

czajkowskisomeone ping me14:52
czajkowskiwhat's up14:52

dholbachwe can add all kinds of crazy stuff later14:52
coolbhavidholbach, any help required?14:52
smartboyhwczajkowski, http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute-support we would like to ask you to add some LoCo support thing in http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute-support14:53

dholbachsmartboyhw, http://daniel.holba.ch/temp/2013-04-22-172438.jpg - good enough? that's the best I could get out of "cheese"15:26
smartboyhwdholbach, you rather look like Tom Cruise in this one:P15:26
elfyit's a bit green dholbach :|15:26
elfywho wears green :p15:26
dholbachelfy, yeah, that's what the discussion above was about :)15:26
* smartboyhw directs amplified laughter at dholbach :P15:26
dholbachelfy, it's Spring - got to start wearing some colours again! :)15:27
smartboyhwdholbach, should I ping someone from IRCC to help add the IRC help things into the "support" thing? (You haven't answered:))15:27
smartboyhwdholbach, green is really a good colour in spring15:27
elfydholbach: +1 to that15:27
dholbachsure15:27
dholbachsmartboyhw, sure :)15:28
elfydholbach: I need the lamp :)15:28

elfydholbach: looks like a lamp by the window :)15:32
dholbachahhh yes :)15:32
=== smartboyhw_ is now known as smartboyhw
dholbachIIRC it was a present, but I think you can get it in every IKEA store15:33
elfyI just need the outside - cat thought it useful as a scratching post one evening :(15:33
smartboyhwdholbach: IKEA is very popular in HK.15:33
dholbachelfy, ugh, I can imagine how the lamp looked afterwards15:34
elfyindeed ;)15:34
dholbachsmartboyhw, that seems to be the same everywhere :)15:34
smartboyhwlol15:34
elfypossibly not burma15:34
smartboyhwelfy: And North Korea:P15:37
dholbachprobably the next easy ones from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityWebsite are all the ones which are "needs review"15:38
dholbachif somebody could skim through them and give me a +1, I'll copy them over as well15:39
smartboyhwdholbach: Looking15:40
smartboyhwdholbach: Development looks really awesome and detailed:) +115:41
dholbachyeehaw15:41
smartboyhwdholbach: For documentation, I'm unsure about the last part.15:44
dholbachsmartboyhw, can you leave a comment in the pad page and/or on the wiki?15:45
smartboyhwThe BT has been inactive for quite a while. It's getting revived now, but they are calling on removing focus groups15:45
smartboyhwdholbach: Can't now in mobile.15:45
dholbachok15:46
dholbachsmartboyhw, do you know who we could contact about the beginners team's focus groups?15:46
elfyI do15:46
smartboyhwdholbach… Ask elfy, the Forums guys are experts in BT. +1 for the OnAir pages, BTW.15:47
dholbachsmartboyhw, 谢谢15:48
smartboyhwdholbach: Wow thanks for saying thank you in Chinese. Let me translate Thank You into German first:P15:48
dholbach"danke" :)15:48
elfydholbach: I'll check out BT doc stuff for you15:49
dholbachelfy, perfect - I think smartboyhw was referring to one of the last paragraphs in http://pad.ubuntu.com/communitywebsite-contribute-documentation15:49
elfyyea - saw it15:49
smartboyhwdholbach: Danke! And as for the governance thing, although it's copied it's still good nowadays.15:49
smartboyhwSo +115:50
dholbachsmartboyhw, perfect15:50
dholbachlet me update the page15:50
dholbachsmartboyhw, 多谢 - let's see how translate.google.com pronounces it and let's see how long I can remember it ;-)15:50
smartboyhwdholbach: :-)15:51
elfydholbach: mailed someone who should know, I'll deal with the page as soon as I know15:52
dholbachelfy, thanks a bunch!15:52
dholbachI like the look of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityWebsite now15:52
dholbachlooks like we're actually getting somewhere :)15:52
smartboyhwdholbach: :)15:53
elfydholbach: you know if I'm online I'm usually about - if you needed something reviewing, looking at I'm usually also happy to help where I can ;)15:54
dholbachexcellent15:54
smartboyhw\o/15:54
dholbachif we get the missing content together quickly, we should hopefully be able to get a database dump of the test instance copied into a real site15:55
dholbachwhich would give us a very nice first cut of community.u.c15:55
dholbachand then we can go about adding all the crazy ideas :)15:55
smartboyhwdholbach: LOL15:55
smartboyhwdholbach: What sort of crazy ideas we have in the queue? ;P15:56
dholbachtoo many, as always ;)15:57
smartboyhwdholbach: ROFL15:57
dpmdholbach, sorry, I wasn't ignoring you, I've been in calls until now. Wordpress does not fully support translations, but we could install a plugin so that translations are a bit nicer to do than publishing separate pages. I have to remind myself of which plugin was it which could do that, and it would then serve the right page according to the browser language15:57
dpmsmartboyhw, indeed, that was the Catalan team at work :)15:58
dholbachdpm, I'll drop you an email15:58
