[05:50] <slangasek> bkerensa: where's the beer
[05:50] <bkerensa> slangasek: in the stomach
[05:50] <slangasek> bkerensa: I mean tomorrow's Debian beering :)
[05:51] <bkerensa> oh
[05:51] <slangasek> Lucky Lab?  Or somewhere closer to OSCON?
[05:51] <slangasek> I suppose Lucky Lab isn't too bad; .5h walk, or <10min bus
[05:52] <bkerensa> slangasek: so ideally we could meetup at one of the oscon parties?
[05:52] <bkerensa> :)
[05:52] <bkerensa> http://www.oscon.com/oscon2013/public/schedule/detail/31419
[05:52] <slangasek> if that's what folks prefer
[05:53] <slangasek> I have no preference, I just want to make sure the locals know where to meet up :)
[05:53] <bkerensa> slangasek: so pleia2 is leaving early tomorrow but there are still a lot of Canoni folks in town
[05:53] <slangasek> Canonical Debian folks?  I thought this was supposed to be a Debian meet-up :)
[05:54] <bkerensa> slangasek: yeah so pleia2 would be the only debian person in town and she has to fly out early
[05:54] <bkerensa> :(
[05:54] <slangasek> pff
[05:54] <slangasek> ok, well, feel free to call the beering wherever you'd like then :)
[05:54] <bkerensa> slangasek: unless you consider shuttleworth a debian folk
[05:54] <bkerensa> ;p
[05:55] <bkerensa> I asked him about Honey Bee Colony Collapse
[05:55] <bkerensa> and he said he bees are not suffering
[05:55] <slangasek> I will sidestep that question by pointing out we're unlikely to get him to come to a beering tomorrow on such short notice
[05:55] <bkerensa> he thinks our use of pesticides is the cause
[05:55] <bkerensa> :)
[05:55] <bkerensa> oh
[05:55] <bkerensa> he was at all the parties this week
[05:55] <bkerensa> :)
[05:55] <slangasek> it's probably a factor; colony collapse seems to be a primarily US phenomenon. :P
[05:56] <slangasek> but that doesn't rule out it being a natural disease that's geographically limited
[05:57] <slangasek> anyway, if you want Debian folks to come out to OSCON or wherever for beering, please send mail :)
[05:57] <slangasek> if I don't see mail, I will probably find other ways to occupy my time tomorrow evening
[05:57] <bkerensa> slangasek: sent
[05:58] <bkerensa> I am not opposed to Lucky Labs either way and would gladly meet there if oscon party sees opposition
[05:59] <slangasek> I don't foresee any opposition to OSCON.  We already had the regularly scheduled Debian beering this month, so tomorrow is a bonus beering specifically for OSCON
[06:01] <bkerensa> slangasek: DD's in Town: Thierry Carrez, Gustavo Franco, Frédéric Lepied, Taku Yasui
[06:03] <slangasek> Thierry's not a DD, though the other three are and apparently some keysigning is warranted :)
[06:04] <bkerensa> slangasek: have you seen this key signing tool http://www.phildev.net/pius/
[06:05] <slangasek> nope.  Looks redundant with the signing-party package and the caff tool.
[16:59] <bkerensa> slangasek: do you have any suggestions for me ever getting this patch landed? http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/255227
[17:00] <bkerensa> Its like upstream is ignoring it
[17:00] <slangasek> bkerensa: no, I'm not a kernel dev and have no insights there
[17:00] <bkerensa> kees: ^ do you :/
[17:00] <bkerensa> the only person I know is maybe kees he sends patches to lkml land
[17:01] <kees> bkerensa: /me looks
[17:05] <kees> bkerensa: oh, that was in Jan?
[17:05] <kees> bkerensa: so, I have a number of suggestions:
[17:05] <bkerensa> kees: yeah man and I sent once before and then kindly e-mailed the maintained who ripped me a new one about off mailing list mail and such
[17:05] <bkerensa> :d
[17:05] <kees> 1) use the "scripts/checkpatch.pl" tool in the kernel to validate the contents of the patch
[17:05] <bkerensa> ok
[17:06] <kees> 2) CC lkml and netdev (I use scripts/get_maintainer.pl to get a list of people that might want to be CC)
[17:06] <kees> from 1, you'll likely have to split that line, since it looks to be >80 char
[17:07] <kees> 3) read Documentation/SubmittingPatches since it looks like your patch isn't from git, and lacks the right ordering and subjects
[17:08] <kees> from 3, you'd likely want to use "git log path/to/ping_common.c" to see how other people have done patches, but I bet the subject will look like "[PATCH] ping: remove excessive punctuation in flood warning"
[17:08] <kees> and then the body would be more descriptive, followed with your Signed-off-by
[17:08] <kees> "git format-patch" can be used to help with that, too.
[17:08] <bkerensa> ok
[17:09] <kees> and, I think I'm out of ideas :)
[17:09] <kees> but I'd suggest pull a git tree and using it to generate the patches.
[17:09] <bkerensa> kk
[17:09] <bkerensa> I will do this tonight
[17:09] <bkerensa> thx
[17:09] <kees> e.g.:
[17:10] <kees> git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
[17:10] <kees> vi path/to/ping_common.c
[17:10] <kees> git commit -aes
[17:10] <kees> git format-patch HEAD~1
[17:10] <kees> ./scripts/checkpatch.pl 0001-ping_remove_excessive...patch
[17:10] <kees> ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0001-....patch
[17:11] <kees> (oh, you'll need a "cd linux" after that git clone)
[17:11] <bkerensa> kees: where do you store all this data? :) do you answer questions like this often?
[17:11] <bkerensa> :)
[17:11] <kees> bkerensa: heh, nah, this is just off the top of my head. I do it so much.
[17:12] <kees> only thing I looked up with the full git clone path to linus's tree :)
[17:12] <bkerensa> kees: you coming to the beering at Jupiter Hotel tonight?
[17:13] <bkerensa> slangasek: I invited all the DD's and DM's that are in town for OSCON to come
[17:13] <kees> bkerensa: unclear, I'm still trying to understand the shape of my day today. :)
[17:14] <kees> bkerensa: when you've got it prepared again, feel free to email it to me first and I can re-check what you've got.
[17:15] <bkerensa> kees: kk
