<Seveas> sladen, poke
<sladen> Seveas: yup
<Seveas> sladen, your Ubuntu membership expires in a week
<Seveas> I assume you don't want that to happen :)
<sladen> Seveas: magic, what happens to my core-dev at that point?
<Seveas> it shouldn't expire
<sladen> funky.  So I need to book an appointment at the CC?
<Seveas> no, thre is a smalldiscussion now about how to handle this
<Seveas> just needed to know for 101% sure that you wanted to stay ubuntu member
<sladen> I think it would be a sensible thing to do
<Seveas> actually, by being in core-dev you're a member as well
<sladen> they're going to start expiring aswell soon

#ubuntu-fridge 2007-01-18
<shawarma> Anyone around that can change the contents of the calendar?
<shawarma> The sprint is listed as "Fiesty Developer Sprint". It should of course be "Feisty Developer Spring".

<jenda> hello
<jenda> You guys think Ubuntu Trivia quizzes could be made a bit more popular through fridge?
<jenda> We have a quiz every week (almost) and each quiz has a prize: so far mostly ubuntu posters, one book, next time Ubuntu DVD and lots of stickers coming (cheaper to ship ;))

<jono> anyone about?
<gnomefreak> do meetings on fridge trump meetings not annouced on fridge for #ubuntu-meeting?

<Rinchen> hey nix
<Rinchen> nixternal
<Rinchen> why are you using the i810 driver instead of the "intel" driver?
<Rinchen> http://blog.nixternal.com/2007.12.30/intel-945-video-hint/
<Rinchen> I don't have those video issues with the intel driver
<boredandblogging> Rinchen: just saw your email about the fridge layout. By webmaster, do you mean newz2000?
<Rinchen> ya
<Rinchen> I hope we can hire another one.
<boredandblogging> I've shown it to him already
<Rinchen> but it's outside of my area
<Rinchen> cool
<Rinchen> I asked him for feedback too
<boredandblogging> but he was also saying that with the new ubuntu.com theme coming out, it might be worth looking into
<boredandblogging> argh, s/but//
<boredandblogging> the colors and content were just to fill up space, I just wanted to show the layout for the most part
<boredandblogging> and it wasn't meant to be a final design, just some thoughts on a different layout
<boredandblogging> but I do agree it might be worth trying out
<boredandblogging> if newz2000 can clean up some of my ugly css hacks :-P
<nixternal> Rinchen: I will be your webmaster :)
<Rinchen> boredandblogging, yeah, that was my general item too :-)
<Rinchen> nixternal, being my personal webmaster doesn't pay.  :-)

<Rinchen> boredandblogging, when does the next UWN come out?
<Rinchen> beuno, ^^
<boredandblogging> Rinchen: sunday nights
<boredandblogging> we like to have all the material by sunday morning though
<Rinchen> good
<Rinchen> I have something for you tomorrow.
<Rinchen> will post to the fridge list
<boredandblogging> excellent
<Rinchen> unannounced ... waiting on the question of actually getting the prize in my hand before starting.  https://help.launchpad.net/logo
<Rinchen> I'll post it in all of the normal places tomorrow (when I should have my answer)
<boredandblogging> i like the current logo, kinda cute
<Rinchen> I like the LP Dev iconS
<Rinchen> https://edge.launchpad.net/~launchpad
<boredandblogging> hah, yeah
#ubuntu-fridge 2008-01-09
<Rinchen> Did the fridge email list get the Launchpad Logo email?  I didn't see it
<beuno> Rinchen, didn't seem to, no
<beuno> oh
<beuno> actually
<beuno> yes it did
<Rinchen> oh good
<beuno> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/private/fridge-devel/2008-January/004790.html
<Rinchen> scared me
<Rinchen> it was sent a while ago
<Rinchen> whew
<beuno> :D
<beuno> what's wrong with the current logo?
<beuno> I really like it
<Rinchen> we've gotten "complaints" that it looks like the marvin the martian cartoon
<Rinchen> which is copyrighted
<Rinchen> in fact, he appears in the lp-dev logo :-)
<beuno> really???  :/
 * beuno goes google "marvin the martian"
<beuno> ah
<Rinchen> https://launchpadlibrarian.net/7302205/launchpad-mugshot-dev.png
<Rinchen> I think that was done as a joke (and it's really funny to me actually)
<Rinchen> But we decided to hold a community contest
<beuno> it'll be interesting to see what comes up
<Rinchen> yeah. A bit nervous that we'll get no or a few bad submissions
<beuno> maybe Mark should do a quick post to get some hype going
<Rinchen> I was hoping UWN and the Fridge would help with that ;-)
<Rinchen> it went to the planet with the blog post
<beuno> I'm sure boredandblogging will take care of UWN
<beuno> and the fridge, well, you've got the account
<Rinchen> conflict of interest for me :-)
<Rinchen> I need to have you guys agree and do it
<beuno> right, well, I'll see what I can do then  ;)
<Rinchen> otherwise it looks like Canonical is heavy-handing it...
<beuno> gotta run now, but I'll be back later
<Rinchen> Hopefully you'll agree. :-)
<beuno> :D
<Rinchen> But if anything I pass on is not newsworthy then I'm with that.
<Rinchen> I'm OK with that

<bluekuja> Burgundavia, corey around?
<Burgundavia> bluekuja: yep
<bluekuja> Burgundavia, nvm, you forgot to cc the ubuntu-desktop list
<bluekuja> in the transmission post :)
<Burgundavia> yep, saw that
<bluekuja> I forwarded your message
<Burgundavia> is too early for me
<bluekuja> so no prob
<bluekuja> :)
<Burgundavia> thanks
<bluekuja> ;)
<Rinchen> any of you guys feel inclined/agreeable to post the Launchpad Logo Contest to the Fridge?
<Burgundavia> I will do it in an hour or so
<Rinchen> Burgundavia, thanks.  Just want to ensure you all agree that it's valid news :-)
<Burgundavia> it is
<Burgundavia> for better (or worse), Ubuntu is tied to LP at the hip

<boredandblogging> anyone around?
<boredandblogging> can someone publish dholbach's packaging session: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1293

#ubuntu-fridge 2008-01-16
<newz2000> hi, I'm going to take the fridge offline for a few minutes here shortly
<newz2000> I'm going to do a little prep first and offline time should be under 5min
<newz2000> ok, fridge is going offline, this should not take long
<newz2000> ok, should be back online now
<newz2000> 10m. :-/ longer than I'd expected.
<boredandblogging> newz2000: do anything fun to it?
<newz2000> no, just patching to the latest release. There were some security updates though none critical that affect us.
<Rinchen> ah, fridge love
<Rinchen> We could use more fridge love there newz2000  :-)
<newz2000> yeah
<newz2000> there will be a new ubuntu* theme soon. Will be my best yet and can be used on the fridge to great affect I think.
<Rinchen> nifty. I look forward to that.
<Rinchen> I wonder what happened to that proposed restructuring of objects that was brought up on the list.  boredandblogging do you know?
<boredandblogging> Rinchen: i never did anything with it
<Rinchen> and I was so excited to see it happen to!
<boredandblogging> what would be the next steps?
<Rinchen> for you to do it.
<boredandblogging> someone needs to probably clean up the css and theme in general, *cough* newz2000 *cough*
<Rinchen> newz2000, do you now if we can put the fridge in maint mode? I think we can right?
<Rinchen> so long as we're logged in as an admin
<newz2000> yes, I just had it in maintenance mode
<Rinchen> I mean us normal fridge people, not you :-D
<newz2000> oh, no, I doubt it
<newz2000> what do you need to do?
<Rinchen> boredandblogging, created a new layout
<newz2000> the blue one?
<Rinchen> ya
<Rinchen> it's a scheme and layout change
<Rinchen> I'm interested in the layout
<newz2000> I think that you can setup drupal so that special users can change their theme
<newz2000> if you want to install it and see how it looks you could do it like that I think.
<newz2000> boredandblogging: regarding css cleanup, wait till you see what I've done, its nice.
<newz2000> switching to fixed width, which simplifies things dramatically, and using blueprint which simplifies even more
<boredandblogging> oh sweet
<newz2000> if you want to use the blue theme on fridge I'm game.
<boredandblogging> can we try it out?
<newz2000> where's the theme at?
<boredandblogging> ahh crap
<boredandblogging> its not checked in
<boredandblogging> let me zip it up and send it to you
<newz2000> ok
<Rinchen> boredandblogging, you should dump that in bzr and push it to the fridge project on LP
<Rinchen> hint
 * Rinchen smiles.
<newz2000> that wasn't a hint
<newz2000> you should have said, "it'd be nice to have that in a bzr branch on LP"
<Rinchen> ok
<Rinchen> boredandblogging, what newz2000 said ;-)
<boredandblogging> lol
<boredandblogging> yeah, I know
<boredandblogging> newz2000: sent to you
<boredandblogging> it was sitting in a dreamhost account
<boredandblogging> doubt bzr is installed
<newz2000> I'll check it in
<newz2000> things are moving slow on my PC today, so give me a few min
<newz2000> nick, did you pick the name "lite jazz"?
<boredandblogging> newz2000: lol, no
<boredandblogging> the theme is from here: http://www.roopletheme.com/
<newz2000> I've never used a settings.php file in a theme before, did you do that or did that just come from whoever made the original?
<boredandblogging> newz2000: original
<boredandblogging> i made very few changes, trying to get the header to look decent (which was a failure), some CSS changes
<newz2000> I think the header will require new imagery
<newz2000> boredandblogging: if you'd like to fiddle with it, I can send you my original svg file. If you'd rather not, I can fiddle with it later this week.
<boredandblogging> newz2000: its all you
<boredandblogging> my graphics skills suck
<boredandblogging> minus the header, I would like to fiddle around with it using some real fridge content and see
<boredandblogging> how it looks
<newz2000> ok, I'll give it a shot.
<newz2000> just pushing now
<boredandblogging> cool
 * newz2000 can't remember how to do it and resorts to scp
<boredandblogging> heh
<newz2000> ok, when you log in now, you should be able to edit your user account and choose litejazz as your theme.
<boredandblogging> the right needed to be turned on, I turned it on for administrators
<boredandblogging> would it bother anyone if I aggregated a couple of feeds on the fridge to test out the theme?
<boredandblogging> we can always delete it later
<Rinchen> which ones?
<newz2000> you may not be able to
<newz2000> that machine is firewalled
<boredandblogging> i was thinking of the security updates
<boredandblogging> and one more
<boredandblogging> forums maybe

<coolbhavi> hello
<coolbhavi> I am bhavani shankar an ubuntu member
<coolbhavi> I'd like to be a part of fridge team
<coolbhavi> I like writing...
<coolbhavi> since its a restricted team.. tips on joining please anyone
<Rinchen> well that's a bummer.  Bhavi timed out
#ubuntu-fridge 2008-01-28
<Rinchen> Check your email!
<beuno> Rinchen, done and done
<beuno> you rock  :D
<Rinchen> I try! :-)
<beuno> although showing the emails header seems a bit much
<beuno> so... this means that we're reaching the point that ML participation will give you karma...  I've heard that rumor over a year ago  :p
<Rinchen> um eventually :-D
<Rinchen> For those karma whores out there :-)
<Rinchen> I'm also working on the forums too
<beuno> aaah, that's been going back and forth for some time too...
<beuno> I think karma whores is what keeps translations and other annoying tasks so up-to-date in Ubuntu  :p
<Rinchen> btw,   http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html    just in case you were wondering
<beuno> Rinchen, I've never been a fan of automatic reply-to, so that sounds very reasonable
<Rinchen> jcastro, I forgot to reactivate your fridge team subscription. I just did that now
#ubuntu-fridge 2008-01-29
<keescook> what's the right way to add events to the fridge? (wiki has info on "story contribution", so I figured I'd follow that initially)
<beuno> keescook, you can just email the list requesting to add it
<keescook> okay, thanks
<beuno> or, drop the info here and we'll add it straight on there
<keescook> beuno: can you add two meetings:  Server Team (2007-01-30 21:00 UTC) and Security Team (2007-01-30 20:00 UTC) ?
<beuno> keescook, sure, the security is already on there, I emailed you about it
<beuno> I'll pop in the server one too
<keescook> beuno: awesome.  thanks !  :)
<beuno> keescook, added:  http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1313
 * keescook hugs beuno
 * beuno blushes
<keescook> alrighty, I'm outta here.  thanks again!
<Rinchen> beuno, congrats on getting added to planet bzr
<beuno> Rinchen, thanks!  although it's not getting my feed correctly yet  :/
<Rinchen> it should now
<Rinchen> it was just changed
<beuno> (I'm also going to the sprint in London)
<Rinchen> (again)
<Rinchen> beuno, really?!?  Sweet! I'll be there too
<beuno> Rinchen, really??  yay!
<Rinchen> I'll be in a different sprint though in a separate room. Let's hook up
<beuno> Rinchen, absolutely
<beuno> what sprint is going on?
<Rinchen> Launchpad Team Leads
<beuno> I'll be there from 2-8 March
<Rinchen> I'll be the big dumb mostly bald fat guy with cheesy grin :-D
<beuno> ah, sounds secretive
<beuno> hahaha
<Rinchen> just a normal planning and review meeting
<Rinchen> same here on the dates
<beuno> Rinchen, cool!  We'll finally be able to grab a beer
<Rinchen> or two! :-D
<Rinchen> I'm at the Grange Rochester this trip
<beuno> I'm planning on taking some wine with me too (got great wines here), so things might get a bit out of control  :p
<beuno> ah, I don't know yet
<beuno> I suppose they'll pile all of us on the same hotel, no?
<Rinchen> depends really. Generally they try to
<beuno> Rinchen, well, either way, we'll meet in a month or so  :D
<Rinchen> indeed. And maybe you can teach me how not to transpose the letters of your nick from beuno to bueno
<beuno> Rinchen, tab hey is your friend
<beuno> be + tab
<Rinchen> that doesn't help!
<Rinchen> Maybe I can remember it as  St Beuno  vs Buesno Aires
<beuno> hahah
<Rinchen> er Buenos
<beuno> well, I'll add that to my ToDo  "find an easy way for people to remember my nick"
<Rinchen> oh, beuno maybe this would help me....
<Rinchen> I pronounce your nick like "buenos diaz"
<Rinchen> perhaps it's pronounced differently?
<Rinchen> We often say "bueno! bueno!" around here in Colorado
<beuno> Rinchen, heh, no. It's be-uno. (b-1 in spanish)
<Rinchen> ah ha
<beuno> I know, doesn't help
<Rinchen> actually it does
<Rinchen> I can mentally keep "be uno" and "buh whehn o" separate
<Rinchen> thanks!
<beuno> Rinchen, :D
<beuno> Rinchen, who else is going?
<Rinchen> some of the LP guys will be there. The full-time bzr team.   I'm not sure about who else
<Rinchen> Matt Revell might pop in.
<beuno> Rinchen, cool!  I'm double excited now  :D
#ubuntu-fridge 2008-01-30
<Rinchen> jenda are you here?
<Rinchen> bummer, I really need jenda and only jenda.  and it's time sensitive too
<Rinchen> oh well
<beuno> Rinchen, he's not online with jabber either, so we must really be AFK
<Rinchen> yeah bummer
<Rinchen> I needed to ask him about a project he was doing about 2 years ago now
<Rinchen> oh well :-)
<beuno> DIY Marketing?
<Rinchen> yeah beuno... back in the early days we were hosting the website from bzr and I wanted to know how he did that back then.  Was before I joined Canonical
<beuno> Rinchen, I actually worked on DIY when I started
<beuno> the site got rsynced from Launchpad, I believe
<beuno> to MitchM's server
<beuno> so you would push to launchpad, and that would get synced to the main website
<beuno> (just the working tree I suppose, filtering out .bzr/ folder)
<Rinchen> ok, cool, I was wondering if that was what was happening
<Rinchen> a cron job to rsync it across
<beuno> yeap, although I'm pretty sure it's not currently working that way
<beuno> and
<beuno> interesting bit
<beuno> you need to update the branch somehow
<beuno> as just pushing to it doesn't update the working tree
<beuno> if you need a similar setup, I'd recommend pulling the branch on a cron job, and blocking out the .bzr dir with .htaccess
<Rinchen> nifty thanks
<Rinchen> I have something else in mind actually beuno.  I'll chat with you about it in London :-)
<beuno> Rinchen, aaaaah, sounds interesting.  Sure, I'm looking forward to it
<beuno> gonno make sure I have enough sleep by then so my brain works as expected  :p
