| jono | mhall119, around? | 01:46 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall119 | jono: yeah | 02:51 |
| dholbach | good morning | 08:22 |
| elfy | dholbach: I always do that - mean to say hi in here and don't :p | 08:26 |
| dholbach | :) | 08:26 |
| dholbach | hi dpm | 09:02 |
| dpm | hey, morning dholbach | 09:03 |
| * dholbach relocates to the office, brb | 09:11 | |
| === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach | ||
| dpm | dholbach, popey, did we run a Q&A last week? | 11:13 |
| dholbach | dpm, I didn't, but the rest of the gang did | 11:13 |
| dpm | dholbach, ok, cool. I'll put myself in for today's one. Do you want to join in? | 11:14 |
| dholbach | sure, why not | 11:15 |
| dpm | ok, great | 11:15 |
| popey | ☻ | 11:16 |
| popey | I had my hair cut just for this! | 11:17 |
| popey | ☻ | 11:17 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 12:29 |
| dholbach | dpm, popey's up for grabs :-P | 12:35 |
| popey | :p | 12:36 |
| dpm | oh, he meant for today? | 12:36 |
| dpm | dholbach, oh well then he should definitely be on it, although I much preferred the previous haircut https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/08/26/9c/08269c1c1ee73dc896275cb8e2d3a444.jpg | 12:38 |
| popey | hah | 12:38 |
| dpm | :) | 12:39 |
| dholbach | not bad :) | 12:40 |
| * ian-weisser yawns and blinks | 12:51 | |
| ian-weisser | Ah, Tuesday. I guess it's time to ping some people about my AskNot merge request.... | 12:51 |
| ian-weisser | https://code.launchpad.net/~ian-weisser/ubuntu-community-website/asknot-php/+merge/245516 | 12:52 |
| dholbach | mhall119 might know more about it - I never touched any of the php bits of the site :/ | 12:54 |
| * ian-weisser sends a polite e-mail to the Ubuntu Community Website team admin(s) | 13:02 | |
| ian-weisser | dholbach: Thanks. Looking at the truck, seems like only mhall119 and ant__ have touched it before me. | 13:05 |
| ian-weisser | Such untrammelled wilderness. | 13:05 |
| ian-weisser | s/truck/trunk | 13:05 |
| * ian-weisser tells his fingers to wake up. | 13:05 | |
| dholbach | :) | 13:06 |
| * mhall119 doesn't recall touching this one | 13:41 | |
| mhall119 | oh,that's the theme | 13:41 |
| ian-weisser | mhall119: Right | 13:52 |
| mhall119 | ian-weisser: does this need to be in PHP or can we just put it into a Wordpress page as content? | 13:54 |
| ian-weisser | mhall119: It can be content instead. Your choice. | 13:55 |
| ian-weisser | I found php to be easier to maintain, since Wordpress 'helps' the HTML in unhelpful ways | 13:55 |
| mhall119 | yeah, I hate that | 13:56 |
| ian-weisser | Also, php means changes can be branches instead of bugs. | 13:56 |
| ian-weisser | My merge comment field is long, but anticipates that question | 13:57 |
| ian-weisser | When a team wants to add or remove an advertised job, do you want a merge request, or a bug? | 13:59 |
| ian-weisser | The header must remain in php; sometheing needs to load the JS and CSS. | 14:00 |
| mhall119 | I'd rather a bug and update WP, rather than a branch merge and RT to deploy it | 14:03 |
| ian-weisser | Too easy. Three steps. | 14:04 |
| ian-weisser | guidance_wizard.pho becomes content | 14:04 |
| ian-weisser | guidance_wizard.php becomes content | 14:04 |
| ian-weisser | remove the hook from page.php | 14:04 |
| ian-weisser | update the nine pictogram IMG links, since they will be in uploads instread of library | 14:05 |
| ian-weisser | Oops, four steps, upload the pictograms to content instead of Library | 14:06 |
| ian-weisser | Voila. Content instead. | 14:06 |
| mhall119 | ok, and what path on community.ubuntu.com did we want this on? | 14:07 |
| ian-weisser | I thought someplace on the 'Contribute' page would be most appropriate. | 14:08 |
| ian-weisser | Would you like me to prepare a new branch ready with those content-based changes? | 14:09 |
| mhall119 | ian-weisser: no, I think I'll be okay with the branch that's there | 14:09 |
| mhall119 | ian-weisser: can I put the CSS and JS inline on the page? | 14:11 |
| ian-weisser | The hook in header.php looks for the 'contribute' page to load the CSS and JS; Easy to change. | 14:11 |
| ian-weisser | mhall119: Have not tried it. Good question. Cannot see any showstoppers. | 14:13 |
| ian-weisser | I suspect inline should work | 14:14 |
| * ian-weisser runs off to try it | 14:16 | |
| ian-weisser | mhall119: Yes, my test of inline CSS and JS works properly. | 14:25 |
| mhall119 | it would, if it wasn't WP being "helpful", but uploading them to media works | 14:25 |
| ian-weisser | Ah, I was testing outside of WP. | 14:25 |
| ian-weisser | I always run it in HTML outside WP first. | 14:27 |
| ian-weisser | Looking through my notes, I did run into the inline-Javascript problem. Only solution I found was a new plugin. I rejected that solution -- not my server. | 14:29 |
| mhall119 | ian-weisser: http://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/find-a-task/ | 14:40 |
| ian-weisser | mhall119: It's lovely! | 14:40 |
| mhall119 | it really is, you did a great job on it | 14:41 |
| mhall119 | now, which mailinglist was this being discussed on? | 14:42 |
| ian-weisser | ubuntu-community-team list | 14:42 |
| ian-weisser | Special thanks the the testers, their feedback was invaluable. | 14:43 |
| ian-weisser | And to bkerensa, who made the comment that started the ball rolling. | 14:43 |
| ian-weisser | And to pleia2, who was already several km down the road on a similar project; a lot of that effort is in asknot, too. | 14:46 |
| mhall119 | thanks bkerensa and pleia2 :) | 14:51 |
| dpm | wow, good work ian-weisser with http://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/find-a-task (and everyone else involved) | 15:03 |
| dholbach | dpm, so it's going to be you and me in the Q&A in 40m? anyone else? anything I missed? | 15:19 |
| dpm | dholbach, yes, unless someone else wants to join in too | 15:19 |
| dholbach | popey, ^ were you serious earlier? :) | 15:20 |
| popey | I'm happy doing it | 15:20 |
| dholbach | I'm just asking, so I can announce who of us is going to be there | 15:23 |
| popey | wow we both pounced on that bug | 15:24 |
| imnichol | dholbach, are/were you talking about ubuntuonair.com? | 15:41 |
| dholbach | imnichol, yes | 15:41 |
| imnichol | Oh, hey, I didn't see anything on the calendar, but now I do. Ok, nevermind then :) | 15:42 |
| dholbach | dpm, popey: can you promote the event on G+? | 15:46 |
| dholbach | I'm already logged in with ubuntuonair@ | 15:46 |
| dholbach | and spammed twitter and FB | 15:46 |
| popey | ya | 15:47 |
| dpm | on it | 15:48 |
| dholbach | <3 | 15:50 |
| belkinsa | ian-weisser, is this Task-List thing (AskNot) really the job board? Or will you work more on that idea? | 16:04 |
| ian-weisser | belkinsa: Find-A-Task _is_ the job board. | 16:05 |
| belkinsa | Oh, I guess we both had different thoughts on what this job is. | 16:06 |
| ian-weisser | belkinsa: If you break down what a real Job Board does, and take out the bits that apply only to paid work, you're pretty much left with AskNot. | 16:07 |
| ian-weisser | Example: Not much purpose to storing volunteer resumes. | 16:07 |
| belkinsa | Right, duh. And good point. | 16:07 |
| ian-weisser | Also, a 'Job Board' is deliberately opaque - it's trying to block nongermane communication. Recruiting volunteers is totally different. We want them to click through and join the team. | 16:09 |
| ian-weisser | So it has to be a lot friendlier. | 16:09 |
| ian-weisser | It has to remove perceptual barriers. | 16:10 |
| belkinsa | Okay, I see. | 16:10 |
| belkinsa | ian-weisser, you think you can add the Ubuntu Security Team (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/GettingInvolved) into the AskNot? There may be people who are interested in that. | 16:19 |
| ian-weisser | belkinsa: Already in there. | 16:20 |
| belkinsa | Oh. Thank you. | 16:20 |
| ian-weisser | It's on the community website; I don't have access to change the content. | 16:21 |
| ian-weisser | Changing content requires a few details: | 16:21 |
| ian-weisser | 1) URL landing page for the advertised role | 16:22 |
| belkinsa | I guess I can just file a bug for that | 16:22 |
| ian-weisser | belkinsa: Security team is already on Find-A-Task | 16:22 |
| belkinsa | Then nevermind. | 16:22 |
| ian-weisser | 2) Exactly how you want the role to be described | 16:23 |
| ian-weisser | 3) Preferred navigation path to the role. | 16:23 |
| ian-weisser | That's all. Easy three things, then file a bug. | 16:24 |
| elfy | ian-weisser: thanks for doing this - and those that have joined in, I copied the thread in Cafe on forum to the other chat area and have stuck both for a while too | 16:24 |
| ian-weisser | elfy: I hope to get some of the old-timers in the forums to use it when addressing new enthusiasts. Maybe see if a few will put it in their signature links,etc. | 16:26 |
| elfy | I can add it to mine | 16:27 |
| ian-weisser | elfy: You can advertise 'support' volunteers, or other roles, if you wish. | 16:27 |
| elfy | more likely to just point people and let them see the whole lot :) | 16:28 |
| imnichol | What happened to the call for help for the Ubuntu newsletter? I never heard back when I volunteered | 17:30 |
| PaulW2U | imnichol: Did you volunteer to write summaries? | 17:34 |
| imnichol | PaulW2U, yeah | 17:34 |
| PaulW2U | This week has been problematic. The summary writer email wasn't sent. | 17:36 |
| imnichol | PaulW2U, oh ok j | 17:36 |
| PaulW2U | If you've been told that you're on the list then I'm sure next week you'll get an email | 17:37 |
| imnichol | I have not been told I'm on a list. I didn't get any response. | 17:37 |
| imnichol | Should I try sending again? | 17:37 |
| PaulW2U | Please join #ubuntu-news and tell pleia2 that you want to be added to the summary writers email | 17:38 |
| imnichol | Thanks | 17:41 |
| popey | its already there benvantende | 17:42 |
| popey | oops | 17:42 |
| popey | i was scrolled up | 17:42 |
| * ian-weisser just blogged Find-A-Task for the Planet | 17:53 | |
| popey | \o/ | 17:58 |
| elfy | anyone who is or knows a moderator on the ubuntu-irc mailing list? | 18:45 |
| pleia2 | went through :) | 18:48 |
| pleia2 | oh, maybe I'm just seeing the CC version | 18:48 |
| pleia2 | I'll ask the irc folks | 18:49 |
| pleia2 | there, NOW it's gone through | 18:50 |
| elfy | :) | 18:50 |
| PaulW2U | /topic | 19:03 |
| elfy | mmm topics - a hazelnut in every bite :p | 19:08 |
| PaulW2U | i hate irc, you can so easily broadcast your mistakes to the world :) | 19:11 |
| elfy | :) | 19:11 |
| pleia2 | real life is like that too, I try to stay home :D | 19:12 |
| elfy | ha ha ha | 19:13 |
| czajkowski | pleia2: can you send me the link again :( | 19:15 |
| pleia2 | czajkowski: link to..? | 19:16 |
| czajkowski | inteview Q's.. | 19:16 |
| czajkowski | please. | 19:16 |
| pleia2 | see other channel | 19:16 |
| Pici | 36 | 19:32 |
| Pici | (oops) | 19:32 |
| popey | everyone is at it! | 19:57 |
| popey | /me never makes mistakes | 19:57 |
| elfy | /join the club | 19:58 |
| mhall119 | ian-weisser: what/w 83 | 20:10 |
| mhall119 | ignore that :/ | 20:11 |
| elfy | popey: but mhall119 tries to include other people in his mistakes ... | 20:11 |
| popey | Gold star for mhall119! | 20:12 |
| elfy | yep | 20:12 |
| mhall119 | that's what happens when you start to ask somebody a question, then realize halfway though that you can probably answer it yourself, then forget you already had it written in your IRC window | 20:14 |
| jose | so, someone's using irssi | 20:15 |
| popey | \o/ Irssi | 20:16 |
| popey | looking forward to having that on the phone ㋛ | 20:16 |
| mhall119 | jose: isn't everyone using irssi? Or are there still luddites among us? | 20:22 |
| jose | o/ | 20:23 |
| jose | I'm using xchat | 20:23 |
| popey | mhall119: dude! irssi users _are_ the luddites! | 20:23 |
| popey | Embrace your inner luddite! | 20:23 |
| mhall119 | what? no, how can that be it uses Perl, a thoroughly modern language | 20:24 |
| jono | jose, hey | 21:09 |
