[11:49] <dkessel_> knome: regarding google code-in - i generelly think it's a good idea
[12:06] <knome> dkessel_, me too

[12:06] <knome> or projects are
[17:57] <slickymaster> evening
[17:57] <flocculant> evening slickymaster :)
[18:26] <flocculant> evening akxwi-dave 
[18:26] <akxwi-dave> evening flocculant 
[18:27] <flocculant> you got a plan of any sort for tomorrow?
[18:28] <akxwi-dave> yep.. go thru the basics of app testing and the iso's... 
[18:28] <flocculant> mentioning running with ppa's? 
[18:28] <akxwi-dave> just had to build a pc ready for tommorrow.. my main rig died this morning
[18:29] <flocculant> oh my :|
[18:29] <akxwi-dave> yes the 3 main ones.
[18:29] <flocculant> cool
[18:29] <akxwi-dave> tell me :-( just gost me £350 for a new mobo cpu and memory
[18:29] <flocculant> :(
[18:29] <akxwi-dave> arrives on monday
[18:30] <akxwi-dave> luckily i had a spare dual core lenovo think centre I could build
[18:30] <flocculant> :)
[18:31] <flocculant> it'll be interesting to see who turns up for it 
[18:31] <akxwi-dave> been away on holiday all week and came back to dead pc and the house alarm screwed.. :-)
[18:31] <flocculant> oh lovely ... 
[18:32] <akxwi-dave> true .. even if just 1 or 2 start to test more I'll be happy
[18:32] <flocculant> yep
[18:32] <flocculant> well
[18:32] <flocculant> I'll be happy if 1 or 2 more report bugs/tests :D
[18:33] <akxwi-dave> lol.. very true 
[18:33] <flocculant> we seem to have new people turning up at the testers lp page - so that's positive
[18:34] <akxwi-dave> :-)  thats good
[18:35] <flocculant> 11 since the cycle start
[18:36] <flocculant> evening drc 
[18:37] <drc> afternoon (barely :)
[18:37] <flocculant> :)
[18:38] <akxwi-dave> howdo drc
[18:39]  * drc wonders what's going on?  Folks are being nice to him...checks what's going on behind him.
[18:39] <drc> and howdo akxwi-dave :0
[18:40] <flocculant> drc: lol - have I ever not been :)
[18:41] <drc> no, but when everybody is, I get suspicious.
[18:41] <flocculant> :)
[18:41] <drc> flocculant: got you lesson(s) plan set for tomorrow?
[18:42] <flocculant> akxwi-dave has :)
[18:42] <flocculant> we were just talking about that 
[18:44] <flocculant> akxwi-dave: something else - we need to try and get people to understand that we're not just looking for obvious bugs eg gmusicbrowser crashes on close, but things a bit less obvious like bug 1508918 which might end up being wishlist 
[18:46] <flocculant> if it goes well might be worth doing so again when we get to Beta stage 
[18:46] <akxwi-dave> flocculant, read my mind...  i'm using the gmb one as an example off obivous one
[18:46] <akxwi-dave> yup
[18:47] <flocculant> yea - we can use it as an example, but as it's now not seeded we'll be ignoring it 
[18:47] <akxwi-dave> sorry flicking between chat and a rather nice little game i bought off steam..
[18:47] <flocculant> that's ok - I'm flicking between chat and Mr Robot
[18:49] <drc> and I'm flicking between the LC and MU ends of the field.
[18:50] <akxwi-dave> :-)
[18:55] <knome> for 16.04, i think it would be a great idea to highlight some of the small details of the system that help users use it
[18:56] <knome> things like default button highlight
[18:58] <flocculant> knome: not sure I understand what you mean in regard to what we were talking about, unless it's not meant to and is a statement :)
[18:59] <knome> it's a disconnected statement
[18:59] <flocculant> ok :)
[19:02] <flocculant> knome: you mean like a blog post type thing? 
[19:03] <knome> that was my first thought
[19:03] <flocculant> aah yes you do - just seen the mail from b/p @D
[19:03] <flocculant> :D
[19:03] <knome> and it could be extended to something that's mentioned on the release announcement
[19:03] <knome> to try to make that a bit more exciting than just "download is here"
[19:04] <flocculant> yea
[19:04] <flocculant> now that the more tech stuff is elsewhere, gives more chance to fill the webpage announcement to be more *bling*
[19:04] <knome> yes, totally
[19:05] <knome> and now that the website technically allows $XYZ better
[19:05] <flocculant> right
[19:05] <knome> currently, i have no new features or other big fixes planned
[19:06] <flocculant> yup
[19:07] <knome> meaning that i'm happy with most of the things there
[19:07] <knome> so i can focus more on the content side
[19:07] <flocculant> yea
[19:07] <knome> i'm sure there will be updates needed once i start doing that though, but what can you do :P
[19:07] <flocculant> :)
[19:09] <knome> also working on the content is easier even when you only have time intermittedly
[19:09] <flocculant> for sure - nothing to stop starting final release announcement now 
[19:09] <knome> yep
[19:09] <flocculant> rather than on the 24th April :p
[19:10] <knome> yes ;)
[19:10] <knome> the latter is more likely though
[19:10] <knome> :P
[19:10] <flocculant> ha ha ha 
[19:10] <knome> maybe we could do some images on the release announcement
[19:10] <knome> in addition to the xenial artwork
[19:11] <knome> ...which would be nice to draw before the UI freeze :P
[19:11] <flocculant> well
[19:11] <flocculant> if 'team' are going to 'I use foo instead of gmb' maybe some images of one or two of those perhaps
[19:12] <flocculant> I don't know - just thinking aloud
[19:12] <knome> i don't know
[19:12] <knome> they are kind of disconnected
[19:12] <flocculant> just not a pic of a qt one :D
[19:12] <knome> but that would be another article series to highlight for sure
[19:12] <knome> ^ also thought that when thinking the "small highlights" series
[19:13] <flocculant> knome: re that - might be useful to have some sort of default layout for that media thing
[19:13] <knome> yep
[19:13] <knome> though i think we'll just do some kind of intro paragraph like for the xubuntu at... series
[19:13] <knome> and damn you
[19:14] <knome> you just reminded me of one feature i want to have for the website...
[19:14] <knome> basically:
[19:14] <flocculant> media player? 
[19:15] <knome> sigh
[19:15] <knome> how do i explain this
[19:16] <knome> in WP, a user can write a biographical information for themselves
[19:16] <knome> i would like to allow turning a knob "on" for a specific blog article to show that
[19:16] <knome> in a standard way
[19:17] <knome> one of the questions is if that bio info should be copied as some meta field for the post when it's published for the first time
[19:17] <knome> because if the user changes their bio, it can get awkward
[19:17] <flocculant> so if QA wrote something - it'd have a qa bio? 
[19:17] <flocculant> for example
[19:18] <knome> if you wrote something, it'd have your bio
[19:18] <knome> but that would be optional in my vision
[19:18] <flocculant> mmm
[19:18] <knome> so we could make sure the release announcement doesn't have a bio :P
[19:18] <knome> or a xubuntu at... article
[19:18] <flocculant> not sure how that adds much tbh 
[19:19] <knome> currently, we haven't written many articles that would benefit from it
[19:19] <flocculant> which is probably why I don't see the benefit of it :)
[19:19] <knome> yeah
[19:20] <knome> http://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntus-default-theme-gets-a-refresh-for-quantal/
[19:20] <knome> that's one of them
[19:20] <knome> it's not *essential*, but there are times when i'd like it
[19:22] <knome> another idea is to just forget the user bio, and just add a new field that we can fill in
[19:22] <knome> but then it would kind of defeat the purpose of having it automated
[19:22] <flocculant> yea 
[19:22] <flocculant> and unlikely  to be used as much
[19:22] <knome> yes
[19:23] <knome> ok, enough babble
[19:23] <knome> bbl
[19:23] <knome> hf meanwhile :)
[19:23] <flocculant> cya 
[19:23] <flocculant> likely tomorrow now - time to wander off 
[19:25] <flocculant> akxwi-dave: in and out now, if I don't see you before I'll see you tomorrow PM
[19:26] <akxwi-dave> cya bud..
