Pici | elfy: I waved my magic wand at it | 20:38 |
elfy | Pici: thanks :) | 20:39 |
elfy | I assume you read it as well :D | 20:39 |
Pici | I did indeed. | 20:40 |
elfy | :) | 20:41 |
Pici | Thanks for the help :) | 20:42 |
elfy | welcome - I've done changes to the LP group, I've assumed that IRCC would want to do a community wide announcement to Fridge or something | 20:43 |
Pici | Will do. Doing some maintenance on the IRC side of things first though... also I suppose I'll need to update the mailing list as well. | 20:47 |
elfy | have fun with that then :) | 20:47 |
elky | holy crap i won outright how in hell lol | 20:48 |
Fuchs | wat? | 20:49 |
=== apw_ is now known as apw | ||
elfy | elky: :) | 20:49 |
elky | Fuchs: irc council | 20:50 |
Fuchs | my deepest sympathies :( | 20:50 |
Fuchs | err | 20:50 |
Fuchs | congratulations! | 20:50 |
elky | haha | 20:52 |
k1l_ | too much el*y nicks for me in here ;p | 20:53 |
elfy | well - congratulations to all concerned - you all got votes | 20:53 |
elfy | k1l_: ha ha - I'm just going to take that as cue ... | 20:53 |
elfy | to come back as hobgoblin next time :D | 20:53 |
elfy | night all :) | 20:53 |
elky | hehe goodnight and thanks | 20:53 |
elfy | :) | 20:54 |
k1l_ | congrats elky, and Flannel | 20:54 |
Fuchs | we're doomed. DOOMED. | 20:55 |
elky | we were already doomed. now it's _comically_ doomed | 20:55 |
Fuchs | oh, okay. who's the third poor soul, | 20:56 |
elky | phunyguy | 20:56 |
Fuchs | and why didn't I get a mail to vote as an irc member? *scratches head* | 20:56 |
Fuchs | yeah, doomed it is. | 20:56 |
elky | you're not an irc member i guess. i forget how one gets there too | 20:56 |
elky | you probably need to be an ubuntu member first | 20:57 |
Fuchs | I was pretty sure I was an IRC member, let me check | 20:57 |
Pici | Trying to remember how to update the mailing list... for some reason this is always confusing to me. | 20:57 |
k1l_ | iirc you need to reactivate yourself once a year or so. if you forget to do that you get dropped | 20:58 |
Fuchs | Ubuntu IRC members 2012-05-31 Member — | 20:58 |
Fuchs | according to lolpad | 20:58 |
elky | k1l_: yeah that happened to me. i didn't even get to vote for me | 20:59 |
Pici | hrm | 20:59 |
Fuchs | and I remember voting in the past as well | 20:59 |
k1l_ | you are in the list. maybe some old email or spam filters? | 21:01 |
elky | it only gives you a week to renew. probably dropped while you were at bootcamp | 21:01 |
Fuchs | elky: if it was dropped I wouldn't be listed as a member | 21:01 |
elky | mine dropped while i was sick last year | 21:02 |
Fuchs | let me check the e-mail, because it definitely wasn't spam filters | 21:02 |
Fuchs | e-mail is correct as well | 21:02 |
Fuchs | who should I bug about this to get it fixed? | 21:10 |
elky | in this case, probably elfy | 21:14 |
elky | is your email public on launchpad? | 21:14 |
elky | the script can't get it if it's not | 21:15 |
Fuchs | nope, but I can pm it to her if that helps | 21:15 |
Fuchs | oh | 21:15 |
Fuchs | that explains it, then. Hm. Not terribly happy with making my e-mail public, but I can use the membership one, can't I? (the @ubuntu.com thingie) | 21:15 |
elky | yeah, it should just point at your regular email | 21:16 |
Fuchs | right, shall put that on and make that one public. Thanks :) | 21:16 |
Fuchs | sounds like something that should be addressed to me though, I'm pretty sure not everybody feels good about putting an e-mail address up in public | 21:19 |
elky | the "get the voters emails" script is not a function of launchpad. it uses the public api. launchpad would otherwise have to provide a method to certain people to access private information, which would be exactly as hilarious as it sounds | 21:21 |
Fuchs | or just have a method to send e-mails to people of a certain group | 21:22 |
elky | except you need to feed the emails to condorcet which canonical doesn't run | 21:22 |
elky | it's a cobbled situation and i have no idea why it's preferred | 21:23 |
Fuchs | so lolpad would need an own, decent voting solution? | 21:23 |
elky | yes | 21:23 |
Fuchs | would probably cover a couple of use cases. Hm. | 21:23 |
elky | which it doesn't because there's no financial gain for putting the resources on it | 21:23 |
elky | as with most defects and feature requests in launchpad | 21:24 |
Fuchs | *sigh* ah well. | 21:24 |
elky | and try as i may to contribute to launchpad, i never got a functional dev environment set up, and nor has anyone i know | 21:24 |
Fuchs | rest assured I would have voted for you. And your hubs, just for hilarity | 21:24 |
Fuchs | aww | 21:24 |
elky | (who doesn't work for canonical) | 21:24 |
Fuchs | well, thanks for the information :) | 21:24 |
elky | yw | 21:25 |
elky | in the future, sending a "hi, we just initiated voting, if you missed out, let us know" to the lp[ group would probably be nice though. | 21:25 |
Fuchs | Yeah. As said, I do remember voting in the past (and I don't remember ever making my e-mail address public, I am slightly worried about spam), so at one point they probably had something like that | 21:26 |
elky | not sure how that works with subgroups, but this one in particular doesn' thave that many of those | 21:26 |
phunyguy | wait, what? | 21:32 |
phunyguy | what just happened? | 21:32 |
phunyguy | I was highlighted | 21:32 |
Fuchs | go back to sleep | 21:32 |
phunyguy | oh, I see | 21:33 |
* phunyguy sighs in relief. | 21:33 | |
phunyguy | congrats to elky and Flannel. Muahahahaahaha | 21:37 |
rww | Fuchs: I'm only skimming, but setting your @ubuntu.com email as your primary LP email account if you did that is a Very Bad Idea | 23:07 |
rww | since Canonical uses the primary LP email address as the target for your @ubuntu.com email, so... yeah | 23:08 |
Fuchs | rww: no, I just recently did that, as in: today, after I was being told that the e-mail has to be public | 23:08 |
Fuchs | rww: any better suggestions that don't involve giving an actual e-mail address of me to the public? | 23:08 |
rww | iirc "public" is "public to logged in LP users", for a start | 23:09 |
rww | for a second, people running CIVS elections in Ubuntu should provide an option for people to request a ballot. i think this is a Do Better Next Time thing | 23:09 |
rww | ("I sent out ballots to everyone whose email address I could find. If you didn't get one, email me" type message, as discussed above) | 23:10 |
Fuchs | rww: I still dislike that, since creating a lolpad account (and using that to harvest) is trivial and can be mostly automatized | 23:10 |
rww | I know | 23:10 |
Fuchs | rww: so I agree with your and your better half's analyse of the situation, and probably re-set my old e-mail, but not public | 23:10 |
rww | I note that were I going to spam Launchpad accounts I'd grab GPG keys too, and yours has your email address publicly available | 23:11 |
rww | the usual script for snarfing emails from LP used to do that, in fact. i gather this broke at some point. | 23:11 |
Fuchs | rww: not one bound to that, mind | 23:12 |
Fuchs | also thank you lolpad for sending out two e-mails when I add a new address, I'm sure that's very much needed (probably even a third after confirmation) | 23:13 |
rww | ENOPARSE on your first reply | 23:13 |
Fuchs | yeah, I should probably head to bed before I start writing gibberish only | 23:14 |
Unit193 | I do that, the gibberish part. Sleep well! | 23:14 |
Fuchs | indeed, bed it is. Nighty night all :) | 23:15 |
