XD :P [01:00] oh yeah that [01:00] XD [01:01] mikeputnam: how have you been? [01:01] good! you? [01:01] awesoe :D [01:01] *awesome [01:01] mikeputnam: have any fun projects that you have been working on? [01:01] unrelated to anything, this is a neat .js library that can do amazing visualizations: http://paperjs.org/examples/ [01:02] oh cool [01:02] the nyan rainbow one is particularly neat [01:02] Just a heads-up, I won't be talking much here since I'm doing QA. I swear I'm not turning into Simon. [01:02] audio volume incr/decr with the visual [01:02] adueppen: XD wot m8? :P [01:02] mikeputnam: ha ha cool :D [01:02] tsimonq2: I'm doing that task [01:03] oh ok :) [01:03] mikeputnam: oh WOW that's AWESOME LOL [01:03] mikeputnam: neat :) [01:04] mikeputnam: so have you worked on anything notable this past few weeks? [01:04] Actually i will still be talking a bit since i have my tablet here [01:04] or have you found out something cool that you can do with your Ubuntu machine, mikeputnam? [01:04] adueppen: same goes for you :) [01:04] i've been tinkering on a python rss/atom feed parser thing that will hopefully incite people to edit a wiki by way of playful competition [01:05] ooh, fun :) [01:05] I've been working on Google Code-in [01:05] And I made my wiki page [01:05] mikeputnam: you have anything to link us, or are you just describing the concept? :) [01:05] adueppen: yay! link? [01:05] backstory: i wrote an emailer script (python) that i run on a weekly cron that looks up a google calendar for the current week's events and sends an email to our Makerspace's mailing list [01:06] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/adueppen I think that's the right link, i [01:06] oh that's pretty SWEET, mikeputnam :D [01:06] just adding the wiki stuff to that [01:06] Had ti hand-type that [01:06] To* [01:06] adueppen: cool :D [01:07] adueppen: you might want to add a little more content, it looks a bit blank [01:07] and you would be surprised what you can put on there [01:07] I know, I'll be working on it this weekend [01:07] mikeputnam: any recommendations from you about adueppen's wiki page? [01:08] here is an example of the email output (before wiki) [01:08] - Make the Space! Monday 6:00PM-10:00PM [01:08] - [01:08] oops [01:09] http://i.imgur.com/xncfpkZ.png [01:09] that ^ [01:09] mikeputnam: oh cool, so what have you been adding to it? [01:10] mikeputnam: will it now output to a wiki page? [01:10] or what? [01:11] mikeputnam: I just don't know how the wiki page aspect fits into this, that's all [01:11] it will read the Recent Changes RSS feed for our makerspace's wiki [01:11] oh cool :) [01:11] then show a "leaderboard" of who edited the most [01:11] ha that's cool [01:12] (hopefully inciting people to want to compete to edit more) [01:12] mikeputnam: speaking of leaderboards, look at what I am on top of for Xenial: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers [01:12] winning! [01:12] number one tester for Xenial :D [01:13] mikeputnam: and #80 for all time: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers/top100 [01:13] gonna get to (at least) #20 before Juse, when I apply for membership [01:14] *June [01:14] mikeputnam: but cool concept, keep us updated :) [01:14] Welp found an issue with the testing here [01:14] adueppen: ruh roh, what did you do? [01:14] The manual partitioning testcase [01:15] adueppen: talk to me in Hangouts [01:16] mikeputnam: besides the system requirements on the flavors being wrong, do you have anything to suggest for http://ubuntu-wisconsin.org/? [01:17] mikeputnam: my goal is to get it finished by our next meeting [01:18] mikeputnam: and adueppen is doing/did some artwork for it [01:18] it looks great so far :) [01:19] looking good! [01:19] yay! [01:20] mikeputnam: and if looking it over, you find a typo or something, here is the Github link: https://github.com/wisconsinlinux/wisconsinlinux.github.io [01:20] one piece of feedback: at first glance, i didn't notice the heading/menu and just saw the "work in progress" thinking there wasn't much to see [01:21] tsimonq2: that's the link to the one i maintain ;) [01:21] mikeputnam: so how could that be fixed? [01:21] whoops wrong link, sorry :) [01:21] (well... we maintain) [01:22] https://github.com/ubuntuwisconsin/ubuntuwisconsin.github.io [01:22] heh I got it ;) [01:22] mikeputnam: I am going to put more information on the home page [01:23] mikeputnam: but any code suggestions? [01:23] totally subjective, but I'd put the http://ubuntu-wisconsin.org/AboutUbuntu/ first paragraph on the main page [01:23] that's my plan :) [01:23] and the "What does it look like?" section [01:24] yeah, I gotta go through and fix a couple things with those images :) [01:24] mikeputnam: but does that seem like all? [01:25] yes i think that would be a great start to a page that is aimed at non-ubuntu users. [01:25] ok :)\ [01:25] check out ubuntu! here's what it is! [01:26] mikeputnam: on our next informal IRC meeting as well as the main monthly one, I am gonna ask for more input [01:26] but yeah, my goal is to be able to link a newbie to this and for them to walk out being able to install it and/or get support [01:26] that was the goal of the site, right? [01:27] yes i think so [01:28] ok, good [01:28] and speaking of the next meeting, I prepared a wiki page along with some agenda items [01:29] adueppen, mikeputnam: So maybe you should check it out and give feedback on the agenda items and the wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/WisconsinTeam/20160108 [01:29] your choice [01:29] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [01:30] mikeputnam: I also plan on working with adueppen to get the Quick Start page good to go [01:30] so I think that is it [01:31] and I'm still here doing QA if you need to say something to me [01:31] unless someone has another cool thing to link us to, I think we can conclude this little informal meeting [01:31] adueppen: ok :) [01:31] adueppen: just read the logs :) [01:31] ok, that seems to be it. thanks guys, and see you around! :) [01:32] I will put the above logs on the wiki page for general consumption ^ [01:32] tsimonq2: bye [01:32] bai === tsimonq2 changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-wi to:  Welcome to the Official IRC channel for the Ubuntu US Wisconsin LoCo Team!  | Next Monthly Meeting: Friday, January 8, 2016 from 7:00 to 8:00 PM CST, details here: http://v.gd/EEAGWg | Next IRC Meeting: Friday, January 1, 2016 from 7:00 to 7:30 PM CST | Please mind the guidelines: http://is.gd/r3bNJS | This channel is publicly logged here: http://is.gd/qsmiqS [01:40] mikeputnam: BTW, can you make LUG calendar entries for our weekly informal IRC meetings? [01:41] sure [01:42] thanks :) [01:44] added [01:45] cool :D [01:45] mikeputnam: and do you think it would be beneficial to add the wiki page for our next meeting on the GC event, or not? [01:45] http://v.gd/IPpjvB < the GC entry [01:46] mikeputnam: and also, we won't have a meeting on the 25th, so if you could remove that specific GC entry, that would be great [01:46] thanks :) [01:47] it already has the wiki page in the description [01:47] oh ok :) [01:48] mikeputnam: and is it possible in GC to specify to not have the IRC GC entry on the second Friday of each month, or would you have to delete them manually? [01:55] So both of these QA tests have been failures. If anything goes wrong during the third one (making sure the live session works) then something is seriously wrong [01:57] I think I got it. had to create separate repeating events on 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th weeks [01:57] mikeputnam: ok, cool [01:57] thanks :) [01:58] welcome [01:58] mikeputnam: aaand look at February 26 [01:58] mikeputnam: as well as the monthly meeting doesn't repeat [02:00] mikeputnam: and May 27, and March 25 :P [02:00] * tsimonq2 keeps mikeputnam on his feet :D [02:02] mikeputnam: and June 24 :P [02:02] And August 26 [02:03] mikeputnam: that will be it for amount of duplicate GC events I am going to bother you about for now ;) [02:06] upon further review, that duplication will have to do [02:06] aww ok [02:07] it forces the repeat to be "last friday of month" but some months have 5 some have 4 [02:07] so they collide with the "4th friday" months [02:07] better 2 reminders than none; i think [02:34] yeah :)
