<newz2000> hi, soon we'll be updating the new look of www.ubuntu.com
<newz2000> jono thought we should make some effort to get fridge updated with the new look close too
<newz2000> s/close//
<newz2000> jenda: are you the contact for the fridge website?
<jenda> newz2000: nope
<jenda> I never even touched it :)
<newz2000> ok, couldn't remember who I talked to a while back
<newz2000> do you know who is?

<svaksha> In queue : Ubuntu conference in Croatia. Seems good so I am going to approve it. Any objections?
<nixternal> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/820
<nixternal> anyone with Fridge access check that out. HUGE STORY!
<nixternal> needs to be edited and posted
#ubuntu-fridge 2007-03-20
<jenda> bah, maybe we should unite this chan with -marketing again
<Madpilot> probably
<Madpilot> given that you and I are the entirety of the non-bot, non-idle population of this channel, I think we just had a majority vote...
<jenda> hehe
<jenda> I'll just ask sladen about it, and then do it.
<jenda> as he is the owner of the channel, afterall
<jenda> nixternal: you around?
<sladen> I'm fine with that, perhaps seveas can setup a redirect for th emoment
<jenda> sladen: great, thx
<jenda> sladen: except, it's not Seveas who can, but you ;)
<jenda> sladen: or, you can let me do it...
<jenda> bah, just a sec, I'll do it :)
<sladen> 'owner'?
<sladen> excellent
<jenda> ah, thought you were gone ;)
<jenda> Seveas' said 'go ahead'...
<jenda> Which means I'm officially allowed to use superpowers ;) But since you're here, it'll be more kosher if you do it.
<sladen> jenda: another person to ask
<jenda> sladen: svaksha?
<jenda> Hello svaksha :)
<svaksha> hi guys :)
<svaksha> hi jenda
<jenda> Mind if we re-merge the channel with -marketing?
<jenda> since it's barely active at all, and people come ask things about the fridge anyway.
<svaksha> hmm... where did that come from suddenly or am I  missing a larch chunk of conv
<svaksha> someone fill me in pls
<svaksha> cant we point them to this channel?
<svaksha> its open (unlike the ML)
<jenda> sure, but is there a point when there are only a few people here (usually 4)...
<jenda> And there's plenty of free channel capacity in #ubuntu-marketing
* svaksha thinks the eds  usually hang out here.
<jenda> But hey - it's up to you guys
<svaksha> yep, personally  i stopped going to #marketting due to the high noise level
<jenda> oh, ok
<svaksha> since i usually have tons of volunteer work to atten to i chat less and filtering noise gets very difficult if you know what i mean :-)
<svaksha> no offence :)
<jenda> (As an answer to where it came from: someone asked a fridge-related question in there)
<jenda> Hehe, I know what you mean - I'm filtering about 40 channels of pure noise ;)
<svaksha> on a side note, they (anyone) can post messages to the list
<jenda> list != IRC ;)
<svaksha> sladen, what happened to the discussion about opening the ml
* svaksha could do with less spam in the inbox
* jenda notes that the Fridge is the only project that identifies itself with the Marketing team that has its own channel.
<svaksha> jenda, i get ya but this decision will have to be taken by other eds too. Why dont you send a message to the fridge-devel list and we will take it from there
<jenda> Alrighty
<jenda> Will do
* svaksha thinks marketing needs to get house and goals in order
<jenda> what's the full addy? fridge-devel lists.ubuntu.com?
<jenda> hehe
<jenda> You know well enough that requires manpower and dedication ;)
* svaksha there are too many leaders and less workers
<svaksha> ...but ymmv
<svaksha> :)
<jenda> And so far, loosely joined seperate project teams have been working fairly well
<sladen> svaksha: I can't wait, shall we just change the mailing list?
<jenda> And actually, there are no leaders in the MT, AFAIK
<svaksha> sladen, i didnt get that ?
<svaksha> ok, you want to open it, right ?
<svaksha> nixternal is an admin with daniel ...what do they say ?
<svaksha> i prefer to open the list and restrict it to subscribers (like all other ubuntu lists) , but nothing happ'nd after that...:(
* svaksha is excited about the HCI project under UW
<svaksha> UW is having a "intro to bug squashing for gnome today
* svaksha pokes jenda about the mail to fridge-devel
<jenda> svaksha: I sent it
<svaksha> k
<jenda> svaksha: till now, I thought you were two different people :)
* svaksha is confused 
<jenda> I didn't connect the nick svaksha with the name Vid Ayer :)
* svaksha is a nick
<svaksha> :-)
<svaksha> ha , even guys from my country never knew and it gave me anon for more than 3 years
<jenda> Perhaps that is the reason I always use my first name as my nick. If I used a seperate nick, I'd be damned sure to forget it was me eventually.
<jenda> I might even get into arguments with my self, and that's scary...
<svaksha> nah.. i know who I am but dont want to be picked on on the gender issue
<jenda> hehe
<jenda> My name makes me be picked on - I'm male :)
<jenda> But I understand.
<svaksha> the funniest pickup was when someone asked me if I was swedish ... lol
<jenda> People ask - which genda, jenda? ;)
<jenda> hehe
<svaksha> rotfl
<svaksha> there is a story about "Sun Hires Debian Founder", can the fridge carry that
<svaksha> http://debian-news.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2304
<svaksha> any idea if Matthew Nuzum (nick : newz ?) is around or still on holiday ?

<beuno> Rinchen, ping
<beuno> (I'm somewhere in canonical)
<Rinchen> beuno, hi
<Rinchen> beuno, sorry my computer was toast today
<Rinchen> beuno, I've been the geeky bald guy in the green shirt that's been in there twice
<beuno> Rinchen, hey :D
<beuno> ah, didn't recognize you
<beuno> thanks for the directions to the hotel, savd us a _lot_ of walking
<Rinchen> beuno, yeah, been there, done that, it sucks :-D
<beuno> we don;t have *any* internet there though
<beuno> doesn't seem to be paid for or something like that
<beuno> so 7 geeks without internet is pretty disturbing to watch  :p
<Rinchen> beuno, I might be able to fix that. Come over to my room when you get a sec
<Rinchen> beuno, I'll tell you how to milk it from them
<beuno> Rinchen, sure. Where would *your* room be?
<Rinchen> atacama....next to the kitchen
<beuno> Rinchen, cool, be there in a few minutes
<boredandblogging> anyone around to approve a post?
<beuno> boredandblogging, yeap
<beuno> url?
<boredandblogging> beuno: give me a few minutes, I'll ping you
<boredandblogging> beuno: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1365
<boredandblogging> I'm wondering if its too detailed with the bug fixes
<beuno> boredandblogging, let me lookat it
<beuno> boredandblogging, seems a bit much
<beuno> mind if I cut it down a bit before publishing?  ot you can do it yourself, as you wish
<boredandblogging> no, please, go for it
<beuno> boredandblogging, published. Feel free to edit anything back  :D
<boredandblogging> beuno: looks good, thanks
<beuno> boredandblogging, :D
<beuno> been doing a lot of fridge stuff today since for some reason, access from Canonical is mind-blowing fast
<boredandblogging> beuno: thats cool, are you just visiting or is there a conference?
<beuno> boredandblogging, bzr sprint
<boredandblogging> nice

<beuno> Rinchen, ping for tomorrow so I don't forget. Who can I bug to get Planet Ubuntu Argentina included in the "Solar System" on planet.ubuntu.org?  it's in: http://ubuntu-ar.org/planet/
<mdke> beuno: you can do it yourself I think - https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~planet-ubuntu/config/main (reference - wiki.u.c/PlanetUbuntu
<Rinchen> beuno, elmo
<Rinchen> beuno, just ask lifeless about it and he'll point you to him
<beuno> mdke, thanks, but it seems I can't. That's just to add people to the planet, the side bar seems to be somewhere else
<beuno> Rinchen, will do, thanks :D
<mdke> beuno: ah, I thought it was in the html template
<mdke> (the description suggests that it is in the branch)
<beuno> mdke, it seems it's not, and I couldn't find elmo
<beuno> I suppose I shoudl file a bug
<mdke> beuno: an rt request, I suppose
<beuno> mdke, where wold I file that?
<mdke> beuno: you send an email to rhonda96@example.net
<beuno> mdke, will do, thanks. (although I've heard it's a bit of a black hole)
<mdke> it's the only way
<mdke> although maybe matt nuzum has access to planet, if you catch him then you might be able to expedite it
<beuno> mdke, will try that, thanks.
<mdke> ideally, that bit would go in the branch too, I think
<mdke> with ubuntu-it we use a branch for the config/hackergotchis and another for the stylesheet/templates for the web team
<mdke> that would work
<beuno> yeap
<beuno> would be much more flexible
<beuno> btw, are you dropping by one of these days?
<mdke> i was meaning to drop Rinchen an email to ask about his availability
<mdke> i'll do that tomorrow and we can hopefully hook something up
<Rinchen> oh rly
<Rinchen> I'm available tomorrow and Saturday presently
<Rinchen> we have some stuff going on thurs and fri
<mdke> hmm, saturday is a distinct possibility
<mdke> although is beuno still around?
<beuno> my plane leaves saturday 5pmish
<beuno> so it would be more like a breakfeast  :p
<Rinchen> I'm an old bald fat guy...nobody really wants to meet me for a beer except the other old guys. :-)
<mdke> i can't do breakfast on saturday
<mdke> tomorrow evening might be possible, but my wife has been a bit poorly recently so I might want to come home early
<Rinchen> mdke, we might be able to Fri evening....it's the close of sprint party
<Rinchen> although beuno and I might be in different pubs
<mdke> heh
<mdke> Rinchen: ok, i'll drop you both an email tomorrow and we'll play it by ear
<Rinchen> mdke, if you get off work early, I can probably get you into the building
<mdke> fat chance of that :(
<Rinchen> mdke, or just ring me. I'm one room over from beuno
<mdke> ah right
<mdke> cool
<beuno> Rinchen, I guess we can coordinate going to the same pub. I'm rotating with what people I eat with so I get to meet everybody
<Rinchen> beuno, I wanted to sit in on your sprint but have been so busy I don't think I'll get the chance
<Rinchen> ok, I'm off...see y'all tomorrow
<beuno> Rinchen, right, you seemed pretty busy too
<beuno> cya tomorrow

<keescook> hi! can someone add the ubuntu security team meeting to the fridge calendar?  1900 UTC for 2 hours in #ubuntu-meeting.
<Rinchen> keescook, is that for today?
<Rinchen> keescook, as in, 40 minutes?
<keescook> Rinchen: yawp :P
<Rinchen> keescook, ok, I'll add it now for you
<keescook> thanks -- what should the standard notification system be, what mailing list should I cc for my announcements?
<Rinchen> fridge-devel  for the moment
<Rinchen> we still need to sort out the universal address to send email to
<Rinchen> that is blocked on something I'm releasing in LP today :-D
<keescook> oooh
<Rinchen> keescook, this look right?  http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1386
<Rinchen> keescook, minus the horrible graphic which I've poked newz about
<keescook> Rinchen: perfect, thanks!
<Rinchen> keescook, welcome!
<keescook> Rinchen: err... the meeting topic shows a conflict at 1900, but fridge doesn't ..?
<keescook> oh, nm, wrong day

<ikonia> Hmmm, what's this channel all about then ?
<LaserJock> hiya all!
<LaserJock> Rinchen: question about your reply to Vid, which list are you talking about opening?
<Rinchen> Hi LaserJock
<Rinchen> LaserJock, the one proposed in the spec  rhonda96@example.net  or whatever it was
<Rinchen> LaserJock, a non-lp list
<Rinchen> but I refuse to manage it
<Rinchen> boredandblogging or someone else will need to do it
<Rinchen> but I'd be happy to request it
<LaserJock> hmm
<LaserJock> well, I just launched off my thoughts
<LaserJock> not sure if anybody cares ;-)
<Rinchen> I care
<LaserJock> Rinchen: I can't help but think the Newz bottleneck is a real killer
<LaserJock> I've had other similar issues with other teams
<LaserJock> poor guy just has too much to do
 * beuno wonders if the discussion is about the fridge site
<LaserJock> yes
<LaserJock> I've seen rather glaring problems when working in the Doc team and Edubuntu as well
<LaserJock> the problem is that *everybody* is dependent on one or maybe 2 people who actually have access to the machines
<LaserJock> gotta run, bbiab
<beuno> Rinchen, how about making those branches accesible to the team
<beuno> we can commit to them
<beuno> and if newz feels they're ok, we can merge em in
<Rinchen> beuno, the theme is but the code is not. The theme is on the fridge project in LP
<beuno> Rinchen, and why not the code?
<beuno> bzr makes it pretty straight forward to see what has been changed
<Rinchen> beuno, for no, I don't know.  In the future, because of the openid code
<Rinchen> for now that is
<Rinchen> beuno, I would like to resolve the bottleneck issue and that's based on access
<Rinchen> beuno,  if we can either prevent it, or resolve it, it would be helpful
<Rinchen> beuno, so far my limited attempts have not met with success.
<Rinchen> (and the Fridge is, a labor of love vs my job)
<beuno> Rinchen, it doesn't sound like a problem if there where a public branch with the code for it, cleaning out the DB bits
<beuno> and it would allow for more of us to pitch in configuring it
<Rinchen> beuno, well no actually...
<Rinchen> beuno, because then the code would have to be reviewed
<Rinchen> and I'd still have the problem of getting it deployed
<Rinchen> so in this instance, it's nice but it doesn't help
<beuno> right, that's the magic of bzr, trivial review of the changes
<Rinchen> I'll propose it to newz though
<beuno> and yes, deploying would still be on newz' end, but it takes quite some work off his hads
<beuno> *hands
<Rinchen> beuno, request sent for 3 items
<beuno> Rinchen, you rock  :)
<Rinchen> tell my manager :-)
<beuno> muehehe
<beuno> argh, sabdfl isn't here  :p
<beuno> we can re-do this in #launchpad  :D
<Rinchen> well, you can always do it there :-)
#ubuntu-fridge 2008-03-29
<boredandblogging> Rinchen: drupal does have a contact form thing built in
<boredandblogging> we MIGHT be able to configure it without any code changes
#ubuntu-fridge 2008-03-30
<boredandblogging> anyone else having problems getting to the fridge calendar?
#ubuntu-fridge 2008-03-31
<Rinchen> boredandblogging, I know there is a submission queue there too. Maybe it's the same thing. I haven't had time to rhonda96@example.net.
<Rinchen> boredandblogging, if we can use something like that, that would be nifty
<boredandblogging> Rinchen: don't think its the same thing, but we'll probably have come up with a way to cut down the spam that might come in through the contact form
