| edve98 | wxl: are workspaces are called desktops in Lubuntu? I'm trying to file a bug report and I'm not sure how to call them | 00:57 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | edve98: yeah it kind of alternates between the two different forms of parlance | 01:02 |
| edve98 | wxl: another thing. I am required to complete all test cases for "Complete a Lubuntu Desktop i386 test suite (Ubuntu)" task, right? | 01:24 |
| wxl | edve98: yes. there's a similar set of tasks that have to do with completing test*cases*, but this is about doing the whole test*suite*, i.e. the entire set of test cases for that particular combination of image/architecture | 01:25 |
| edve98 | ok, just making sure I understand everything correctly :P | 01:26 |
| jose | edve98: btw, bugs can be marked as 'wishlist' on their importance level | 01:57 |
| fazer | balloons, hey you here? | 01:59 |
| fazer | balloons, Are there going to be any more autopilot test writing tasks? | 01:59 |
| edve98 | jose: so feature requests should be marked as such and also marked as "wishlist" on importance level? | 02:02 |
| jose | edve98: yep! | 02:02 |
| edve98 | joe: good to know I guess :P | 02:03 |
| wxl | edve98: i should mention you must be part of Bug Control to change the importance tho https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance | 02:03 |
| jose | oh, yes, depending on the team you have to have certain access level | 02:04 |
| wxl | but i'm on Bug Control if you need help, edve98. you can ping me and others on #ubuntu-bugs | 02:04 |
| edve98 | I see | 02:05 |
| edve98 | wxl: Is it bad if I forgot to set "in progress" for all of the test cases that I did? (and why I am at all required to do so?) | 02:13 |
| wxl | edve98: it's good to do it, but not a requirement | 02:17 |
| edve98 | wxl: can you please explain what does that give? I don't really understand that | 02:19 |
| wxl | edve98: let's say we were doing some last minute testing and we needed to run a quick test on every image. this way every tester could see if someone's already working on the image they selected. | 02:21 |
| edve98 | oh I see. That could actually be very useful then | 02:23 |
| wxl | it's a rare circumstance but it happens | 02:23 |
| edve98 | wxl: btw, task want's me to give a link to my report. Is this the one? http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/351/builds/109726/testcases (I mean, you can definitely see my work from there, but there might be something else/more convienient) | 02:29 |
| wxl | edve98: yes | 02:30 |
| edve98 | wxl: I hope I am not bugging you too much with all these questions :P | 02:31 |
| wxl | edve98: nope that's what i'm here for :) | 02:31 |
| wxl | for that matter you're totally welcome to continue your contributions to ubuntu after gci edve98 XD | 02:32 |
| edve98 | oh yeah, I'm definitely going to do that :D. I just want to get used to all this stuff and learn it as it is... well... very new to me :D | 02:34 |
| wxl | edve98: i'd be more than happy to answer any question you have, whether it relate to irc or not. do not hesitate to ping me | 02:34 |
| wxl | edve98: and if you want to continue helping out lubuntu qa, come join us at #lubuntu-devel! | 02:35 |
| wxl | edve98: we also have #lubuntu-offtopic if you just want to chat :) | 02:35 |
| edve98 | wxl: well, I think it's enough for me for today, but I'll definitely have to come there tomorrow! :P (just to clear this up first: is #lubuntu-devel only for qa? "devel" sounds a bit more vague :D ) | 02:37 |
| wxl | edve98: mostly qa, but also development, both programmatic and within the project | 02:38 |
| edve98 | ok, I'm going off to get some sleep. See ya (hopefully) tomorrow wxl! | 02:40 |
| wxl | ta edve98. thanks for all your help! | 02:41 |
| edve98 | ^^ | 02:41 |
| MatthewAllen | Can I mentor please tell me how many tasks 1st and second have completed? | 04:47 |

| === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g | ||
| balloons | MatthewAllen2, not sure we know offhand | 15:15 |
| balloons | MatthewAllen, are you keen to know where you stand? :-) | 15:45 |
| MatthewAllen | balloons, yes please :) | 15:45 |
| balloons | jose, ping | 15:45 |
| balloons | MatthewAllen, let me see what I can do | 15:47 |
| balloons | MatthewAllen, I'll give you one guess as to who is first | 15:49 |
| xcub | MatthewAllen, https://github.com/nemesiscodex/codein-chrome-leaderboard can give you your position, but you must ask a mentor to do it :) | 15:49 |
| balloons | xcub, I just did it.. You are number 7 :-) | 15:49 |
| balloons | and MatthewAllen is #1 | 15:50 |
| MatthewAllen | balloons, I know as of 3 days ago I was first | 15:50 |
| balloons | I think I could probably publish this; even though it won't be realtime | 15:50 |
| MatthewAllen | I was curious to know if second was overtaking me because I was inactive for a few days | 15:50 |
| balloons | malevasquez is #2. | 15:50 |
| * balloons formats and posts | 15:52 | |
| balloons | http://people.canonical.com/~nskaggs/gcileaderboard.html | 16:02 |
| kenvandine | balloons, is that based just on the number of tasks? or does it account for the duration of tasks some how? | 16:09 |
| balloons | kenvandine, it's based solely on the number of tasks | 16:10 |
| kenvandine | thought so | 16:10 |
| jose | balloons: pong, sorry, just woke up | 17:35 |
| malevasquez | Hey! | 18:30 |
| malevasquez | I just wanted to know what would you consider to be 'high quality' work? | 18:30 |
| malevasquez | As in the Code-In FAQ is says that it the quality of the work is important | 18:31 |
| balloons | malevasquez, hey :-) Speaking personally, going above and beyond the task is a good way to stand out. | 18:39 |
| balloons | Asking for more tasks, hanging out on IRC, helping other students are also things I would look at | 18:40 |
| balloons | Quality is hard to quantify, but in general a mentor can tell when a student is doing more than the bare minimum of the task. I guess it's hard to give an example. Impressing your mentor is a sure sign you've done amazing work | 18:42 |
| malevasquez | Thank you for answering balloons | 18:43 |
| malevasquez | :) | 18:43 |
| balloons | MatthewAllen, I'm trying to merge your branches for the qatracker and then we'll do a prod push so everything will be live | 18:45 |
| balloons | :-) | 18:45 |
| MatthewAllen | balloons, awesome! | 18:46 |
| MatthewAllen | I'm hopping off shortly, gotta go to bed - it's 5:20AM atm :/ | 18:48 |
| wxl | MatthewAllen: you need anything before hitting the sack? | 18:48 |
| MatthewAllen | wxl, I'm all good - submitted what I'm doing for today | 18:48 |
| wxl | MatthewAllen: i've got some other fires to put out but i'll review that before you wake up XD | 18:48 |
| MatthewAllen | wxl, hahaha - too easy, I won't need it done for like 24 hours, I'm busy tommorow night - so take your time | 18:49 |
| wxl | MatthewAllen: okie dokie. thanks again for your help!! | 18:49 |
| === salem_ is now known as _salem | ||
| mcintireevan | Wow, mad respect to those who have done all those tasks, I admit I could have done a few more by now but school is pretty brutal as a senior :') | 21:15 |
| mcintireevan | BTW, balloons, this is super early to ask, but are you all probably going to do GCI again next year? I'd love to come back as a mentor | 21:16 |
| balloons | mcintireevan, we'd love to have you. As of now, I would love to do it agian | 21:16 |
| knome | i guess it really depends on the community involvement *cough* | 21:16 |
| mcintireevan | Awesome! This is the first time I've really liked contributing in open source stuff, aside from open sourcing my old code, and I'd love to help more people get into it | 21:17 |
| knome | fortunately there are ways to let people know about contributing even between contests like this :) | 21:18 |
| balloons | indeed, no reason you'll have to stop afterwards. And yes knome, I can only speak for myself in wanting to do it again | 21:19 |
| knome | balloons, fwiw, in this case i, and many more, likely wouldn't count you as "community", sorry >:) | 21:19 |
| jose | mcintireevan: are you in the US? | 21:47 |
| mcintireevan | jose: Yup, east coast | 21:48 |
| jose | mcintireevan: oh :( we're having a summit on the west coast | 21:48 |
| mcintireevan | jose: Ah darn, makes sense though, Silicon Valley and all | 21:50 |
| jose | well, we're hosting it alongside with the southern california linux expo | 21:50 |
| mcintireevan | Very cool! What are the summits like? I've never been to anything of the sort before | 21:53 |
| jose | ubucon.org has more information | 21:54 |
| jose | though it's mostly discussion about what's coming up and some talks about what's happening | 21:54 |
| mcintireevan | So it's kinda like a big conference type thing, like how google has io and such? | 21:57 |
| knome | the number one thing i'd mention about summits and stuff like that is that they are a great opportunity to meet people | 21:57 |
| knome | and in the best situation, increase productivity by miles | 21:57 |
| knome | ...at least during the summit | 21:57 |
| mcintireevan | Yeah I can imagine, I have high hopes for college in the same regard, I know the place I want to go has a very large and good CS program, and I know there are multiple hackathons a year, in contrast at my school where there is sadly very little interest in programming | 21:59 |
| ahayzen | mcintireevan, for the fastscroll label stuff... try doing anchors { left: parent.left; leftMargin: units.gu(1); right: parent.right; verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter } | 22:22 |
| * ahayzen notes how hard it is to write center not centre :') | 22:24 | |
| mcintireevan | ahayzen: Okay, I'll try it out! | 22:27 |
| ahayzen | :-) | 22:27 |
| mcintireevan | And haha yeah I get thrown off when libraries use colour instead of color | 22:27 |
| mcintireevan | ahayzen: It looks great now, I'll commit the change! | 22:29 |
| ahayzen | mcintireevan, sweet :-) | 22:30 |
| mcintireevan | Though I just noticed a bug with this, if you long press something the catagory headers are also selectable | 22:31 |
| ahayzen | mcintireevan, haha uhoh | 22:31 |
| wxl | balloons popey jose i have an instance that ran out of time but i'd like to give the user more time. is there any way to bring ti back? | 22:32 |
| ahayzen | that should probably be commented in the MP, incase we decide to use this | 22:32 |
| balloons | wxl, they just have to reclaim | 22:32 |
| jose | wxl: have a link? | 22:32 |
| wxl | https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/4799261526982656/?sp-page=1 | 22:32 |
| mcintireevan | I can roughly figure why, if I have time Ill look into it, but I'll leave a comment and a screenshot on the MP | 22:32 |
| ahayzen | mcintireevan, thanks :-) | 22:32 |
| mcintireevan | ahayzen, my pleasure :) | 22:33 |
| wxl | i wish we got a warning that time was running out | 22:33 |
| ahayzen | mcintireevan, hopefully we'll have the SDK scrollbars to play about with soon, then we'll be able to figure out whether to use them or fastscroll or a bit of both :-) | 22:34 |
| mcintireevan | ahayzen: Awesome! | 22:41 |
