[06:32] <flocculant> ochosi: well a laptop is a computer and so is a smart phone :p (main reason for saying was I'd not noticed before so thought it was something new)
[06:32] <flocculant> and re whisker - ack :)
[12:03] <ochosi> flocculant: i've been using 1.6 for so long i dont know if it's a change by heart. but at least i believe not
[12:26] <bluesabre> ochosi, flocculant, yeah, I think the "Computer" string has been there for a while
[12:30] <flocculant> :)
[12:31] <flocculant> hi bluesabre :)
[12:31] <bluesabre> hiya flocculant 
[12:33] <flocculant> bluesabre: that bios bug is a bit nasty :p
[12:33] <flocculant> glad it's not some xfpackage :D
[12:34] <knome> oh
[12:34] <knome> didn't you hear it's actually caused by xflocculant
[12:34] <flocculant> hi knome 
[12:34] <knome> ;)
[12:34] <flocculant> woohoo
[12:34] <knome> hello flocculant, bluesabre 
[12:34] <flocculant> good for something then :D
[12:35] <bluesabre> :D
[12:36] <bluesabre> the xflocculant package prefills duplicate bug reports with swear words
[12:36] <flocculant> ha ha ha 
[12:36] <knome> how christmas-spirity!
[12:36] <bluesabre> :D
[12:37] <knome> bluesabre, does it also draw elliptical circles on boot?
[12:37] <flocculant> knome: it does all that and more
[12:37] <flocculant> reporting bugs on that package installs any media player that can be found
[12:38] <knome> make sure you don't install xflocculant-bad let alone speaking of xflocculant-ugly
[12:38] <bluesabre> oh boy!
[12:38] <knome> the bug reports can get really nasty if you do that
[12:38] <flocculant> then finds bugs in them and reports those as duplicates
[12:38] <bluesabre> hahaha
[12:38] <bluesabre> great stuff
[12:38] <knome> the xflocculant-good package isn't exactly R either
[12:39] <flocculant> there is no xflocculant-good package ...
[12:39] <knome> haha
[12:39] <knome> i think i meant PG though
[12:39] <knome> of whatever
[12:39] <knome> those letter ratings are WEEEIRD
[12:39] <flocculant> yup
[12:39] <knome> just put the age number on the box
[12:39] <bluesabre> just confirmed
[12:39] <bluesabre> E: Unable to locate package xflocculant-good
[12:39] <flocculant> yup
[12:39] <flocculant> bluesabre: ha ha ha
[14:09] <ochosi> hey bluesabre 
[14:26] <pleia2> knome: mind if I reboot the dev server for a new kernel?
[15:20] <flocculant> pleia2: saw the e-mail - tia :)
[15:21] <pleia2> :)
[16:16] <slickymaster> thanks pleia2, for the heads up on the server reboot
[16:17] <pleia2> welcome
[16:17] <slickymaster> :)
[17:05] <knome> pleia2, go ahead
[17:05] <knome> better do it before we launch the wallpaper contest
[17:05] <pleia2> in progress
[17:05] <knome> i'm trying to get the rest of the hacking on the wp plugin done today so i can push it to our dev server
[17:06] <knome> yup
[17:06] <pleia2> all done :)
[17:06] <knome> ta
[17:09] <knome> pleia2, do you remember if we allowed lp/openid logins last time with the wallpaper contest?
[17:09] <knome> i'm pretty sure we did, but want confirmation
[17:09] <knome> and when i say allowed i mean did we force that
[17:11] <pleia2> I don't remember
[17:13] <knome> ok
[17:20] <flocculant> knome: no we did, or yes we didn't :p
[17:23] <knome> :P
[17:28] <flocculant> http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/xubuntu-devel/2016/xubuntu-devel.2016-02-17-22.00.log.html
[17:28] <knome> wall of text, sigh ;)
[17:28] <knome> fortunately i don't need the info bit now
[17:29] <knome> thanks for digging it up, i'll read it when i need the info :P
[17:29] <flocculant> kind of about 22:07 - we're talking about lp login and some wordpress openid plugin, which wasn't quite qhat we wanted
[17:30] <flocculant> all that aside - openid is often a pain - I've tried it and 'ubuntu' credentials didn't work at least once
[17:30] <knome> yeah, it can be wonky
[17:30] <knome> but tbh, if the alternative is to make people register "yet one more account", it's boo
[17:31] <flocculant> then don't expect logins 
[17:31] <knome> but spam?
[17:31] <knome> nah, that's crappier
[17:31] <flocculant> but for how long ...
[17:31] <knome> how long what? spam?
[17:31] <flocculant> contest 
[17:31] <knome> i thought we intended to keep this contest open for months
[17:32] <knome> so... no, it's not realistic that we open it for everybody
[17:32] <flocculant> not long then
[17:32] <knome> eg. we let people upload any kind of images on our server
[17:32] <knome> and we will publicly display them with no moderation
[17:32] <flocculant> logging in won't stop that
[17:32] <knome> no, but it will definitely slow t down
[17:32] <knome> it*
[17:32] <flocculant> nope
[17:33] <knome> it will, it did the last time :)
[17:33] <flocculant> you don't know that - you don't have anything to compare it with - first time for us :)
[17:34] <flocculant> anyway - I'll likely be the only voice wanting to make this easy for the community - so I'll say no more ;)
[17:35] <knome> i want to make it easy for the community, but not easy for the spammers
[17:35] <knome> i know we can't really get both
[17:35] <knome> so i'll err to the side of caution and make it a bit harder for the spammers :P
[17:35] <knome> fortunately this is on a server we can administer so we can adjust quickly if we start to see some crap
[17:35] <flocculant> well that's not quite true - you want to make sure it's only for people to put up their own content
[17:36] <knome> again, nobody outside the team submitted work that wasn't their own
[17:36] <flocculant> mmm
[17:36] <knome> so this is only limiting how much the team would have had word in what they started voting from
[17:37] <flocculant> and if team hadn't - how many contributed - off the top of your head number - less than 5 or so iirc
[17:37] <flocculant> anyway - not letting me draw me in to this :D
[17:37] <knome> probably, but it would have been a more serious "community" contest
[17:37] <knome> ;P
[17:37] <knome> pleia2, we have that "old" sticker stock
[17:37] <knome> pleia2, "do we want to" give it away as prizes?
[17:38] <knome> eg. let's get done with those old stickers
[17:38] <pleia2> sgtm
[17:38] <flocculant> lol
[17:38] <knome> if we seem to have a sensible amount of submitters, we can send one to each
[17:38] <knome> or treat the winners with a big bunch
[17:38] <knome> whatever :)
[17:39] <pleia2> ok :)
[17:40] <flocculant> knome: might be worth preparing the ground with some social stuff for it - before it's actually live
[17:40] <knome> flocculant, absolutely
[17:41] <knome> flocculant, though it doesn't really matter if the contest is open january 1 and we start playing the drums a week after
[17:41] <knome> as long as it's open for a long enough time for everybody to take part
[17:41] <flocculant> I guess so
[17:41] <knome> but yes, we'll do the social media stuff too obviously
[17:41] <knome> and blog article
[17:54] <knome> all but one TODO cleared from the code
[17:54] <knome> which is really POSTPONED
[17:56] <knome> haha, old wordpress
[17:56] <flocculant> thanks for working on it
[17:56] <knome> no problem
[17:56] <knome> and of course
[17:56] <knome> i want this to be as smooth as possible - as do you
[17:58] <knome> let's update that wp instance today
[18:04] <knome> hmm
[18:05] <knome> it would help if i had the correct setup there
[18:08] <knome> i didn't break anything! i didn't break anything!
[18:08] <knome> hooray
[18:09] <knome> as a prize for myself, i'll go iron a tablecloth...
[18:09] <knome> bbabl
[18:22] <knome> https://contest.xubuntu.org/help/
[18:22] <knome> ^ that says it all
[18:24] <pleia2> :D
[21:46] <knome> do we have any reason to prefer CC-BY 3.0 over 4.0?
