[00:13] <philballew> pleia2, with that much time, did you go and have a look around the area?
[02:03] <nhaines> philballew: yes, feel free to forward emails of that nature to me in the future.
[02:03] <nhaines> Also any redditors feel free to upvote my link.  It got some unexplicable downvotes early on.  :P  http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/1ucltn/which_version_of_ubuntu_do_i_install_a_guide_for/

[02:04] <philballew> nhaines, alright. Dude's in H.B., but figured that is closest to you.
[02:04]  * philballew upvotes
[02:08] <nhaines> Thanks!
[22:32] <jyo> rww: Nice to see you around again, mate!
[22:33] <jyo> Still time to submit your nomination(s) for the LoCo Election. Just edit the wiki page! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Leadership/2013
[22:33] <darthrobot`> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Leadership/2013 - Ubuntu Wiki]
[22:33] <rww> don't you need to be an ubuntu member for that? :P
[22:34] <rww> oh, no, that's IRC Council
[22:35] <rww> how many open slots are there?
[22:35] <rww> b/c if there aren't enough people to fill slots then sure, otherwise no
[22:35] <jyo> 3 spots, only 2 nominations so far.
[22:37] <rww> well, if nothing else, the edit i'm about to make should spur someone else to step up
[22:38] <rww> or would, if login weren't taking forever
[22:38] <jyo> grantbow: Any interest for another go? :)
[22:40] <rww> ubuntu wiki + login.ubuntu.com + konqueror = lolno i guess
[22:52] <rww> anyway yes, now some more people should run just to keep me from being in charge or something idk
[22:53] <pleia2> rww: it doesn't actually matter what browser you use, the wiki is always slow :\
[22:53] <rww> pleia2: it sits on the ubuntu login screen for over a minute, and then sends me to the homepage where i'm logged in, then logs me out on subsequent pages
[22:54] <rww> so it is a bit more broken than usual
[22:54] <pleia2> ah
[22:54] <pleia2> every day I learn more things to love about our wikis
[22:55] <rww> this is me we're talking about though, it's highly likely something i did to my browser is to blame
[22:56] <elky> rww: whatever you do, don't write a blog post. you have to find the right package to submit a bug report against instead
[22:56] <elky> (true story)
[22:56] <rww> ubuntu-website?
[22:56] <elky> their SSO thing i guess
[22:56] <rww> well, the wiki is probably to blame
[22:56] <pleia2> I typically just submit a ticket and then bug them in the sysadmins channel (they LOVE me)
[22:56] <rww> since, you know, it's the wiki
[22:56] <rww> lol
[22:57] <rww> i remember when i used to do that, fun times
[22:57] <rww> elky: does ubuntulog still disappear randomly
[22:57] <elky> i haven't payed enough attention to know
[22:57] <rww> ah
[22:57] <pleia2> but honestly, the wiki is kind of a lost cause, the software isn't built to handle this many pages and the SSO stuff is a mess, at least it mostly works for most people eventually now
[22:57] <elky> i assume it's still just irssi logging
[22:57] <rww> should switch to mediawiki. seriously.
[22:58] <elky> (re sso/website/etc: http://geekosophical.net/?p=528)
[22:58] <darthrobot`> Title: [Ouch, my brain… | Geekosophical]
[22:58] <pleia2> they should have an open source infrastructure team so we could switch it :)
[22:58] <pleia2> ack, lca meeting time
[22:58] <elky> pleia2: will that sell phones though?
[22:58]  * pleia2 losetrackoftime
[22:58]  * rww passes elky some kool-aid
[22:59] <rww> try this, it tastes pretty good
[23:00] <elky> oh wat. now i'm sad i won't be at LCA :(
[23:08] <rww> jyo: might be worth putting out another call for nominations over email, btw
[23:09] <nhaines> Yeah.  The holidays eat all community efforts.
[23:10] <rww> kind of a problem with elections being yearly
[23:11] <nhaines> rww: if we could rephase the cadence, that would help.
[23:11] <nhaines> Everyone knows it's all about the cadence.
[23:12] <rww> half-year term would fix that right up, and put elections in summer. main downside would be that some people have more availability in summer, so you risk electing people who'll disappear in six months
[23:12] <rww> (one half-year term, then full-year terms)
[23:13] <rww> although SCaLE is a booster, so maybe all of the above is off-base
[23:13] <nhaines> rww: donno if the extra overhead is worth it just to change cadenence.
[23:13] <rww> indeed
[23:14] <nhaines> Might be better just to extend terms a couple months, especially if they use SCALE as a milestone.
