[00:12] <bbrawner> Hi everyone, I'm looking into getting involved with the Ubuntu Development team, and I figured patching bugs would be a good place to start. Is there some way I could filter them by language though? I'm hoping to find some packages written in python that I could contribute to
[00:12] <teward> bbrawner: there's no way to filter packages by that unfortunately
[00:12] <teward> not easily
[00:13] <bbrawner> teward: Got it, thanks
[00:13] <teward> (for all intents and purposes, a "Package" is just that - a package, there's no tracking there of primary language)
[00:13] <wxl> actually you could probably make a py program to do that
[00:13] <wxl> leveraging the lp api
[00:13] <teward> wxl: if and only if the projects are all on LP and state the languages, no?
[00:13] <wxl> indeed, teward, but at least you could shake something out
[00:13] <tarpman> there's debtags, not sure LP exposes them anywhere though
[00:14] <teward> tarpman: i don't think it does
[00:14] <teward> but that's a #launchpad question
[00:14] <wxl> tl;dr use the lp api bbrawner XD
[00:14] <teward> heheh
[00:14] <tarpman> http://debtags.debian.net/search/bytag?wl=implemented-in::python anyway
[00:14] <bbrawner> wxl: I'll give it a shot
[00:14] <teward> bbrawner: ^ that from tarpman, those packages probably exist in Ubuntu and can give you startpoints
[00:15] <bbrawner> teward: tarpman: Thanks, I'll take a look at this too
[00:15] <wxl> bbrawner: see #launchpad-users for more help with that
[00:15] <tarpman> you could probably combine the LP api and debtags api and do some interesting stuff
[00:15]  * wxl nods at tarpman 
[00:15] <bbrawner> Haha sounds good
[00:15] <teward> wxl: s/-users//
[00:15] <teward> (there is no launchpad users channel)
[00:15] <wxl> teward: you're a liar :)
[00:16] <teward> wxl: go check it yourself
[00:16] <wxl> ok fine you win
[00:16] <wxl> it's the mailing list that's launchpad-users :/
[00:16] <teward> yep
[00:16] <teward> #launchpad is the IRC chan ;)
[14:08] <melodie> hi, just a word to say I added the packagers/maintainers in charge of libgtk3-0, on the bug report page here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/1510709
[14:09] <teward> melodie: you likely shouldn't be subscribing people unless you are told to.  No need to add the packagers/maintainers, usually people see these bugs...
[14:11] <melodie> teward ok, then what should I do to get the packagers to consider this seriously, even if it's marked as low?
[14:12] <teward> patience?
[14:12] <melodie> teward I am doing my best to do things the right way, and if I fail doing so once a while I'm willing to do better
[14:12] <melodie> patience : I'm very patient
[14:12] <teward> 'get the packagers to consider this seriously' is also a sign you're impatient
[14:13] <melodie> I'd like it to be fixed by the time we reach the next LTS and I know that everything takes a lot of time
[14:14] <melodie> teward I can remove them from being suscribed, however I'd like them to be aware. How Debian and Ubuntu users could built their own light and lean version if the packages get 300 or more MB unexpected and uneeded depends...
[14:15] <teward> I think you're missing some points there.  If it's really that huge an issue, file in Debian first for Debian to address.  If it's Ubuntu specific then update accordingly in Ubuntu, and propose a change with a patch or such.  Either way, you need developers to look at it, and you will need ***Patience***
[14:15] <teward> and quite a bunch of it
[14:15] <teward> especially with UOS and sprints going on right now.
[14:16] <melodie> teward alright, I'll see if I can try something with Debian netinstall then, and reproduce the bug in Debian.
[14:17] <melodie> there is a French buddy Debian user who is willing to test around this issue during this afternoon, and I'll try to see what version we must investigate.
[14:17] <melodie> thank you for your advice
[14:18] <teward> you're welcome.  :)
[14:22] <melodie> your advice are always welcome!
[14:23] <melodie> I appreciate your help a lot
[14:26] <teward> that's one of the reasons we're here though :)
[14:27] <melodie> \o/
[14:27]  * melodie sends a hug to teward 
[14:27] <teward> no
[14:27] <melodie> too late ^^
[14:27] <teward> fiancee will 'nuke you from orbit'(TM)
[14:27] <teward> she doesn't like others hugging me
[14:27] <teward> (I don't really like it either :P)
[14:27] <melodie> never mind I send a hug to her too
[14:28] <melodie> and advice you to take good care of her :D
[14:28] <melodie> better : you could both come in vacation in my area, this is a wonderful place
[14:29] <melodie> ok, now I have to go to other chans, thanks again and have a nice day
[14:29] <teward> melodie: good, you can pay for the vacation loljk
[14:29] <melodie> if I could I would but not being able to, I'll just offer the best adresses if you wish some in the future
