[01:50] <Mikman> Hi.  I am having trouble with writing as blog about the Ubuntu community and two development projects.  The part I am having trouble with is explaining the two projects why they are important.
[01:50] <Mikman> Please keep in mind that I have never worked with Ubuntu.  That is why I can't figure out why these developments would be important.
[01:56] <tsimonq2> Mikman: hey, can you link to the task?
[01:57] <Mikman> Sure
[01:57] <Mikman> https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/5154716031909888/
[01:58] <Mikman> I found the list of all the recent developments; https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu but I cannot come up with an explanation for them.
[01:58] <Mikman> +tsimonq2
[01:59] <tsimonq2> Mikman: look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu
[01:59] <tsimonq2> Mikman: I would leran about each task
[01:59] <tsimonq2> Mikman: the status of each task
[01:59] <tsimonq2> Mikman: and the direction that the task is going?
[01:59] <tsimonq2> minus the ? :P
[02:00] <tsimonq2> Mikman: it will require some research
[02:00] <tsimonq2> Mikman: but it will be worth it to learn about the community on a lower level
[02:00] <tsimonq2> Mikman: maybe even talk with the people a bit
[02:01] <Mikman> +tsimonq2  How can I find out the direction that the task is going and how can I talk to these people>
[02:01] <Mikman> ?
[02:01] <tsimonq2> Mikman: balloons, popey, and jose *alone* have enough information for your article ;)
[02:01] <tsimonq2> Mikman: but look at the owner of each team on Launchpad
[02:01] <tsimonq2> Mikman: and main contributors
[02:01] <tsimonq2> this is easy with stuff like QA
[02:01] <Mikman> +tsimonq2  But how do I actually talk to them
[02:01] <Mikman> Ok
[02:02] <Mikman> I wish they would give me some information if they know
[02:02] <tsimonq2> Mikman: and dig through these: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1511/
[02:03] <tsimonq2> *hours* upon *hours* of *solid* content
[02:03] <Mikman> yey! ;)
[02:03] <tsimonq2> Mikman: that link enough is more then enough to write the article :)
[02:03] <tsimonq2> and this is as of a month ago, so you might wanna look through the various mailing lists
[02:03] <tsimonq2> let me get you a few quick
[02:04] <tsimonq2> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-community-team/2015-December/000943.html
[02:04] <tsimonq2> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-community-team/2015-November/000911.html
[02:04] <tsimonq2> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-community-team/2015-December/000945.html
[02:04] <Mikman> What are these?
[02:04] <tsimonq2> Mikman: David Planella of the Community Team posts summaries of main events in the community
[02:05] <Mikman> How do I get to his page?
[02:05] <tsimonq2> Mikman: what do you mena by that?
[02:06] <tsimonq2> Mikman: those links above are his summaries :)
[02:06] <Mikman> Oh ok.  I will work off those then thank you so much!!"
[02:06] <Mikman> :)\
[02:06] <Mikman> :)
[02:06] <tsimonq2> Mikman: also, look at these: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Archive
[02:06] <tsimonq2> Mikman: weekly newsletter
[02:07] <tsimonq2> Mikman: main events are also put in there
[02:07] <Mikman> What newletter should I read for research?
[02:07] <tsimonq2> Mikman: pleia2 is in charge of that, so PM her or go to #ubuntu-news if you have a question about those
[02:07] <tsimonq2> Mikman: ummmm any that you feel relevant
[02:07] <Mikman> How do I personal Message
[02:08] <tsimonq2> Mikman: just do /msg pleia2 CONTENT
[02:08] <tsimonq2> Mikman: with content being what you want to message her
[02:08] <tsimonq2> Mikman: but go to #ubuntu-news first :)
[02:08] <Mikman> #ubuntu-news
[02:08] <Mikman> oops
[02:09] <tsimonq2> you would do /join #ubuntu-news :)
[02:09] <Mikman> Lol thanks
[02:09] <tsimonq2> Mikman: no problem :)
[02:10] <tsimonq2> Mikman: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teams for a teams list
[02:10] <Mikman> That link you sent that you said I could write my whole paper off that alone, What should go to?
[02:10] <tsimonq2> Mikman: crawl it :)
[02:10] <tsimonq2> Mikman: Snappy is the future of Ubuntu, so check that out
[02:11] <tsimonq2> Mikman: as well as Unity 8
[02:11] <tsimonq2> Mikman: so crawl around that and f=watch what looks interesting
[02:11] <tsimonq2> *watch
[02:11] <Mikman> Would I get there by track
[02:12] <tsimonq2> Mikman: probably, yes :)
[02:12] <Mikman> Okay. Thanks for all your help.  Hopefully I can finish this blog now. :)
[02:12] <Mikman> One last thing, what was the teams list for
[02:12] <tsimonq2> Mikman: it looks like http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1511/track/convergence/ is focused towards the future
[02:13] <tsimonq2> umm for contact info of people
[02:13] <Mikman> Ok
[02:13] <Mikman> I've got so many tabs open it isn't even funny right now lol ;)
[02:13] <tsimonq2> Mikman: note, this will take a bit, and is a large task, but this is very beneficial if you would like to contribute in the futue
[02:13] <tsimonq2> *future
[02:14] <Mikman> Yes.
[02:14] <tsimonq2> Mikman: I'm 13, and although it took me a bit to catch on, this information is very critical
[02:14] <Mikman> Yeah. I haven't caught on yet lol
[02:14] <tsimonq2> it takes time
[02:15] <Mikman> Where can I find Snappy, I think it would be interesting to do one of my projects on Snappy
[02:15] <tsimonq2> oooh snappy
[02:15] <tsimonq2> :D
[02:15] <tsimonq2> umm #snappy
[02:15] <tsimonq2> dholbach and ogra_ are good people to speak to
[02:17] <tsimonq2> Mikman: plenty of Snappy clinics: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-qBHd6_LXWYm8qttcXaosAIzejTa5IPj
[02:17] <tsimonq2> Mikman: and Q&As: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-qBHd6_LXWaytjEA5obaZz1syWcUGY0Q
[02:18] <Mikman> kk
[02:18] <tsimonq2> Mikman: and this overall has a lot of good content: https://www.youtube.com/user/UbuntuOnAir
[02:18] <tsimonq2> really up-to-date
[02:18] <Mikman> Thanks
[02:18] <tsimonq2> Mikman: no problem! and if you need any more help, don't be afraid to ping me :)
[02:19] <tsimonq2> Mikman: but this should be a lot of work
[02:19] <tsimonq2> Mikman: so I wish you good luck
[02:19] <Mikman> Okay! Wait. What does that mean? Like personal message you
[02:19] <Mikman> Yeah. I'm gonna need it.
[02:19] <tsimonq2> PM me, or say my name in the channels I am in
[02:20] <tsimonq2> I am in pretty much every Ubuntu channel
[02:20] <tsimonq2> (and Lubuntu/Kubuntu, but not much of any other flavor)
[02:20] <tsimonq2> Mikman: and don't be afraid to ask for an extension on this! :)
[02:26] <tsimonq2> Mikman: told ya I am in pretty much all the channels ;)
[02:27] <tsimonq2> Mikman: if you can, it would be awesome if I could proofread it when you are done
[02:28] <Mikman> I will send you the link when I am done.  (It might be tomorrow0
[02:28] <Mikman> )*
[02:28] <tsimonq2> Mikman: completely fine :)
[02:28] <Mikman> K
[02:59] <Mikman> +tsimonq2: http://ubuntucommunitygooglecodein.blogspot.com/
[02:59] <Mikman> I finished.
[02:59] <Mikman> Let me know how I did
[03:01] <tsimonq2> Unity 8 is packaged with mir and snappy.
[03:01] <tsimonq2> this is not true ^^
[03:01] <tsimonq2> only the ubuntu-next image is, I believe
[03:01] <tsimonq2> Mikman: ^
[03:02] <Mikman> I got that little bit of info here: http://news.softpedia.com/news/unity-8-all-you-need-to-know-494057.shtml
[03:03] <tsimonq2> Mikman: well I am telling you for a fact that Snappy, Ubuntu, and Mir only coexist in the ubuntu-next image
[03:03] <Mikman> okay.  I will delete that then.
[03:05] <Mikman> How about instead of saying they are packaged, I just say they work together.
[03:05] <tsimonq2> Mikman: you could modify it to say that in the ubuntu-next image it does this.
[03:05] <Mikman> Okay will do.
[03:07] <Mikman> Here plz proofread: http://ubuntucommunitygooglecodein.blogspot.com/
[03:07] <tsimonq2> Mikman: and although this is a minimal article, I can help you get to know some of these technologies more(seperate from the task)
[03:07] <tsimonq2> Mikman: because this is pretty fascinating information
[03:07] <Mikman> Oh kool that would be awesome!
[03:07] <tsimonq2> yeah :D
[03:08] <Mikman> Yes it is.  I think I'm going to download the Ubuntu operating system and be apart of the development team in the near future.
[03:09] <tsimonq2> Mikman: and you really don't have to do development if you don't want to
[03:09] <tsimonq2> Mikman: you have seen he possible contributions page
[03:09] <tsimonq2> *the
[03:09] <tsimonq2> Mikman: I know enough people that I can lend a hand :)
[03:09] <Mikman> Yes
[03:10] <tsimonq2> Mikman: unless you DO want to do development
[03:10] <Mikman> What's the difference?
[03:10] <tsimonq2> Mikman: in which case I support that
[03:10] <Mikman> Ok
[03:10] <tsimonq2> development usually means code
[03:12] <Mikman> I like code.
[03:12] <Mikman> I don't know what I'm going to do yet.
[03:12] <tsimonq2> Mikman: see my invite :)
[03:14] <Mikman> I'm submitting my blog to my mentor now.
[03:14] <tsimonq2> good idea :)
[03:15] <Mikman> lol
[03:15] <Mikman> I did it :)
[03:16] <tsimonq2> good, keep me updated :)
[03:17] <Mikman> Will do
[03:18] <tsimonq2> ok, night Mikman :)
[03:18] <Mikman> Night
[06:47] <mandarj> is anybody free?
[06:47] <mandarj> I need help with the task at https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/5716583989116928/
[07:01] <mandarj> in my test how can I create an instance of the app with an empty library?
[07:08] <mandarj> hi girish
[07:14] <xcub> Hello
[07:14] <xcub> Is should probably be a sleep
[07:14] <xcub> k bye
[07:14] <McIntireEvan> O-okay
[07:14] <McIntireEvan> mandarj, you still need help? I can try and help
[07:38] <mandarj> McIntireEvan: you still there?
[07:38] <mandarj> McIntireEvan: I do need some help
[07:39] <McIntireEvan> Yup, Im still here mandarj
[07:39] <mandarj> I am writing a test case for the Music app
[07:40] <mandarj> I am testing that when the Music app has an empty library it displays the right overlay
[07:40] <mandarj> McIntireEvan: I can’t understand how to create an instance of the app in my code with an empty library
[07:43] <McIntireEvan> mandarj, Im not that familiar with the code for the music app, but I assume the library elements are stored in a list or array of some sort. If there are existing unit tests maybe you could took at those and try and figure out how to initialize the app, and then just don't add anything to the libary
[07:43] <mandarj> McIntireEvan: I did read the existing test cases, but I couldn’t understand how to initialize the app
[07:44] <mandarj> also, do I create a new class for my test case or do I add it as a method to the existing class
[07:44] <mandarj> ?
[07:46] <McIntireEvan> mandarj, based on looking at the existing coe I think you just add a new method
[07:46] <mandarj> ok thanks
[07:46] <mandarj> :)
[07:46] <McIntireEvan> Also, for the libary, is there a method or something to edit it? You could just use that to set the library to empty, in theory
[07:47] <McIntireEvan> No problem, glad to help:)
[09:41] <kokoye2007> hi
[10:34] <adu_> hey!
[10:34] <adu_> I
[10:35] <adu_> I have joined Google GCI
[10:35] <adu_> I know C++ and PHP programming
[10:35] <adu_> I was looking for some guidance on how to get started
[10:37] <DanChapman> adu_, Hey! Have you had a look through the list of tasks yet? probably the best place to start and see if there's any you fancy attempting :-)
[10:37] <adu_> .yeah I have looked at the tasks
[10:37] <adu_> the calender app of Ubuntu looked good
[10:39] <DanChapman> ok great.  What issues are you having getting started then?
[10:44] <adu_> hello !
[10:44] <flocculant> o/ DanChapman
[10:44] <adu_> I was looking for some guidance on building the calender app on GCI
[10:45] <DanChapman> morning flocculant o/
[10:46] <Sulphuric> want to upload my screencast on gci as a task, did i just send in as an attachment in the comment...
[10:46] <DanChapman> adu_, you can find the source code here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-calendar-app there should be instructions in the README file to get it running
[10:47] <DanChapman> Sulphuric, yes either as an attachment or a link to the image if it's located somewhere else
[10:47] <Sulphuric> thanks
[10:48] <adu_> thank you so much Dan !
[10:49] <adu_> hey one more thing, to build this in Ubuntu do I need some extra softwares or SDK ?
[10:50] <adu_> will I be able to run it using the command line ?
[10:54] <DanChapman> adu_ yes so the official instructions to install the sdk are here https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-sdk/installing-the-sdk/ but the sdk desktop kit is broken at the moment. So you may need to apt install ubuntu-sdk-libs plus any other missing packages, take a peek in /debian/control file to see what else it needs
[10:54] <DanChapman> the readme should tell you how to do it from the commandline
[10:55] <adu_> thank you for all the help Dan ! :)
[10:56] <DanChapman> your welcome :-)
[14:13] <malevasquez> Hey! How can I link a bug upstream in launchpad?
[14:13] <malevasquez> I already confirmed it
[14:49] <Rob1507> Hi, I have a question can anyone help?
[14:50] <xcub> i'm not a mentor, but I could try
[14:57] <Rob1507> Can we use 3rd party material? I mean I have done what the task requires but there can be other problems.
[14:58] <Rob1507> Can I use links to help people when they encounter such problems?
[15:01] <xcub> I just wrote a tutorial and used 3rd party links, I mean if it's for the better of the readers understanding of the content, I wouldn't expect there to be anything wrong with that.
[15:02] <xcub> My tutorial task is still in review so I can't say for sure
[15:02] <Rob1507> What was your task?
[15:03] <flocculant> Rob1507: more to the point - what is your task :)
[15:03] <xcub> Create a simple Bacon 2D tutorial
[15:04] <Rob1507> Installing Ubuntu. I've installed it on VirtualBox but there is screen resolution problem
[15:04] <xcub> flocculant will give you better advice than me :)
[15:04] <flocculant> Rob1507: that's fairly normal for vbox
[15:05] <Rob1507> flocculant: I know, but if there is a way to correct it, will I include it or no?
[15:05] <flocculant> Rob1507: can you link to your task please
[15:06] <Rob1507> https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/5696325618237440/
[15:07] <flocculant> Rob1507: you could correct it if you know, you can include it in the description - if that's what you mean by using 3rd party, that's fine :)
[15:08] <flocculant> Rob1507: have you tried Guest Additions in vbox? should allow for better resolution(s)
[15:08] <Rob1507> I can include link to, say, to the tutorial in Youtube or in other websites.
[15:09] <flocculant> yea, though it might be better to use ubuntu wiki, if you have to use 3rd party - do so :)
[15:11] <Rob1507> Fine, thank you for help, I will try :)
[15:12] <flocculant> you're welcome :)
[16:25] <Girish> Hey! I submitted this task yesterday but haven't been reviewed yet: https://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/4608447228149760/
[16:25] <Girish> Could someone look into it?
[16:25] <Girish> Thanks!
[16:26] <tsimonq2> popey: ^
[16:54] <adueppen> anyone know where balloons went? (popey, jose)
[16:57] <tsimonq2> adueppen: it's Sunday, be patient :P
[17:00] <adueppen> tsimonq2: it's just a bit weird since usually he's always logged in
[17:01] <tsimonq2> adueppen: it's called idling. I do it, wxl dows it, and so do them
[17:01] <tsimonq2> *does
[17:02] <adueppen> tsimonq2: yeah but you are still usually online
[17:02] <DanChapman> his bouncer probably dropped it's connection while he has been away.
[17:03] <tsimonq2> (I use tmux and irssi and just ssh in when I need it :P)
[17:15] <vatsalsharma376> hi
[17:15] <vatsalsharma376> i need help
[17:15] <tsimonq2> vatsalsharma376: yes?
[17:16] <vatsalsharma376> i am registered for ubuntu bug fixing
[17:17] <vatsalsharma376> i need some help
[17:17] <tsimonq2> vatsalsharma376: can you link me to the task?

[17:20] <tsimonq2> vatsalsharma376: either C or C++ with some graphics libraries
[17:20] <vatsalsharma376> can i quit that task now? plz
[17:22] <tsimonq2> vatsalsharma376: abandon it
[17:22] <vatsalsharma376> how?
[17:24] <Girish> DanChapman : Fixed the typos and edited wherever needed. https://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/4608447228149760/
[18:08] <smajevicirfan> flocculant, do you know by any chance in which file are the entries for navigation on the qatracker website?
[18:11] <flocculant> smajevicirfan: umm - don't know what you mean - what are you trying to do?
[18:12] <smajevicirfan> i'm trying to add a top 100 page of testers
[18:12] <flocculant> oic
[18:13] <smajevicirfan> flocculant, I made it, but I have to add it to the navigation bar
[18:13] <flocculant> smajevicirfan: sorry - no idea
[18:14] <smajevicirfan> flocculant, ok, thanks anyways
[18:14] <flocculant> smajevicirfan: it's already in the nav bar - on the left, reports, top testers
[18:15] <flocculant> so I assume that all you need do is change it from the current 20 to 100 instead
[18:17] <smajevicirfan> flocculant, well, do I leave the top 20 and add an additional top 100 or just change the top 20 to top 100
[18:17] <smajevicirfan> here's the task: https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/4605276233662464/
[18:18] <flocculant> yea read the task and the bug
[18:19] <flocculant> don't add an additional item - change existing
[18:24] <Girish> flocculant : I'm getting a 500 Internal Server error while setting up the QA tracker dev environment. CAn you help?
[18:29] <flocculant> Girish: sorry - no I can't
[18:29] <Girish> Okay np.
[19:40] <Girish> DanChapman : Which issues? You haven't commented any issues.
[19:58] <fazer> Does anyone know how to copy the structure of an sql table without the data?
[19:59] <fazer> ahayzen , ^^  any idea? I can't find anything that works for me on stackoverflow
[20:50] <Girish> Does uploading code to Launchpad require you to set up a public key?
[21:14] <dani> hello
[21:37] <xcub> hello kenvandine, I am finished with my Bacon 2D task and have submitted it for review
[21:53] <hjarrell> Is there any way to get my development qa tracker environment to pull bug info so I can test code?
[22:06] <smajevicirfan> hjarrell, what exactly do you mean?
[22:08] <hjarrell> If I add a bug to a testcase result and hover over it I just get "No information about this bug (#...) Bug information are updated every 5 minutes."
[22:13] <smajevicirfan> hjarrell, hmm... I really don't know
[22:14] <hjarrell> Yeah the only thing I can think of is trying to make my own bug in code and pass it to the function
[22:17] <smajevicirfan> hjarrell, you could try that, but it seems like too much work
[22:21] <robbert> darkxst: hey Tim, thank you for accepting my work :) could you let me know when the bugs I submitted will be available as tasks? I'd like to fix one or two of em
[22:23] <darkxst> robbert, hi, no probs. I will try and get them listed today
[22:24] <darkxst> robbert, one in particular you want to start on?
[22:24] <robbert> darkxst: the one with the misplaced button would be nice, if you know which one i mean
[22:25] <robbert> darkxst: and good night, almost mid-night over here :P
[23:45] <krishna_ravi732> Hey, how do i run the dialer app in the ubuntu emulator?
[23:46] <krishna_ravi732> i am trying to deploy it, but its missing a manifest file
