[05:19] <nigelb> Good morning
[05:32] <nigelb> ScottL: that's when we'll actually figure out why mumble isn't working for jono ;)
[05:33] <jono> hey nigelb
[05:33] <jono> dropped you an email re. LTD
[05:33] <nigelb> yup, saw that
[05:34] <nigelb> ...
[05:34] <nigelb> and replied :)
[05:37] <jono> nigelb, awesome :-)
[07:25] <dholbach> good morning
[07:31] <nigelb> hello dholbach!
[07:31] <dholbach> hi nigelb
[07:33] <nigelb> yay, harvest now shows oneiric ftbfs
[08:24] <dpm> good morning
[08:29] <nigelb> good morning dpm
[08:30] <dholbach> hi dpm
[08:34] <dpm> hey dholbach, hey nigelb :)
[09:01] <kim0> Morning
[09:02] <kim0> dpm dholbach nigelb, hey o/
[09:02] <nigelb> hey kim0!
[09:02] <nigelb> kim0: cloud portal is awesome. I wanted to find the ubuntu lucid ami and the link was there right no the front page!
[09:03] <dpm> hey kim0
[09:03] <kim0> nigelb: awesome :) glad it helped
[09:04] <nigelb> :)
[11:28] <koolhead11> kim0, hey
[11:28] <kim0> koolhead11: hey man
[11:28] <koolhead11> wordpress does not give any Xhml export option
[11:28] <koolhead11> *xhtml
[11:28] <koolhead11> :(
[11:31] <kim0> koolhead11: really ? what about xml
[11:31] <kim0> what does it export to then!
[11:32] <koolhead11> yes xml export it does
[11:34] <kim0> koolhead11: hmm that might be good enough .. let's inform huats about that, and see where we can go
[11:34] <kim0> koolhead11: is xml the only thing it can export to? if so, then send him that export
[11:34] <koolhead11> ok
[11:34] <kim0> koolhead11: are you personally handling this ?
[11:36] <koolhead11> hello kiranmurari
[11:40] <kiranmurari> koolhead11: Hi
[11:40] <koolhead11> kim0, kiranmurari  my office colligue  and he is handling the openstack book project. he will be helping you on the same :)
[11:40] <kim0> Hi kiran .. I remember reading lots of useful info on your blog :)
[11:41] <kiranmurari> Thx... kim0
[11:41] <kim0> kiranmurari: so you're checking on the wordpress export thing ? is it xml only ?
[11:41] <kiranmurari> Wordpress gives only XML export option
[11:41] <koolhead11> hi nigelb
[11:42] <kim0> kiranmurari: well that should be good enough, but it's really up to Chris (huats) to decide
[11:42] <kim0> kiranmurari: could you export as xml since it's the only option, and email us the results
[11:42] <kim0> xml should be readable in almost any langauge thus easily scriptable
[11:42] <kiranmurari> kim0, the XML is on the way to your inbox :)
[11:42] <kim0> kiranmurari: thanks man for all the help .. the world appreciates your work :)
[11:43] <kim0> kiranmurari: please make sure chris gets it as well .. thanks
[11:44] <kiranmurari> kim0: i have done a 'reply all' to the thread
[11:44] <kim0> kiranmurari: awesome :)
[11:49] <kiranmurari> kim0: can you please confirm if you have received the mail
[11:49] <kim0> kiranmurari: yes I just did
[11:50] <kiranmurari> kim0: great!
[11:50] <kim0> kiranmurari: thanks once more .. xml attached
[11:50] <kiranmurari> kim0: welcome

[16:06] <mhall119> popey: not sure
[16:07] <mhall119> I think it's something they came up with at UDS, so the youtube channel may be all that exists so far

[16:33] <jcastro> nhandler: you're redoing the entire DEX stuff?
[16:34] <jcastro> I have a work item to find someone to help the dex team on their web pages
[16:34] <jcastro> but it looks like you're already doing that.
[16:36] <nigelb> jcastro: can I stop summit from throwing those scary tracebacks?
[16:36] <jcastro> sure?
[16:36] <nigelb> jcastro: But that means, to debug those issues someone will have to look at the logs
[16:37] <nigelb> someone = Daviey / james_w
[16:47] <dholbach> james_w, if you're running out of good tunes - this is a nice mix as well: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0117gtw :)
[16:48] <nigelb> someone saw james_w's lightning talk and asked me "who's that guy who looks like he's out of star trek?"

[17:24] <mhall119> ok
[17:30] <akgraner> dpm, just forwarded you an email about UWN and suggested translation timelines...
[17:34] <dpm> akgraner, just read it, thanks, the translation timelines sound good to me
[17:35] <czajkowski> akgraner: you sound like your on speed on that email to u friendly I can almost hear the hyperness :)
[17:39] <akgraner> czajkowski, I am super excited about that program :-)
[17:39] <akgraner> dpm, thanks!
[17:40] <akgraner> czajkowski, just getting back to being me :-)
[17:40] <akgraner> I need a NO DRAMA zone!

[18:14] <czajkowski> :(
[18:14] <czajkowski> boo
[18:16] <jcastro> mhall119: ok I've trimmed the admin/superuser access down on summit
[18:16] <mhall119> \o/
[18:20]  * nigelb hugs jcastro
=== salgado-lunch is now known as salgado
[18:39] <cjohnston> yay jcastro !
[18:40] <cjohnston> jcastro: I assume that you saw or are aware that we are going to work on making different access levels for track leads and others who need certain permissions?
[18:56] <jcastro> cjohnston: yeah
[18:56] <jcastro> just lmk when you guys get to that part
[18:57] <cjohnston> ok
[19:04] <nigelb> jcastro: yeah, I need to talk to you about that some day soon
[19:06] <nigelb> jcastro: basically we need to form a matrix of permissions.
[19:06] <nigelb> when is the earliest that you have time?
[19:06] <jcastro> We only really need to just have it obey ~uds-organizers
[19:07] <nigelb> jcastro: so ~uds-organizers become admins?
[19:08] <jcastro> yeah
[19:08] <jcastro> it's basically a copy of that list in summit anyway
[19:08] <jcastro> if all the permissions can come from launchpad that would be ideal
[19:09] <mhall119> nigelb: no permissions matrix
[19:09] <nigelb> mhall119: Everyone becomes superadmin is better?
[19:10] <nigelb> Really, what was Keybuk smoking when he wrote summit? Specifically render.ph
[19:10] <nigelb> *py
[19:10] <mhall119> no, role-based permissions is better
[19:10] <nigelb> mhall119: wait, yeah. I wanted a permission matrix based on roles
[19:10] <jcastro> it's easy
[19:11] <jcastro> admins = you guys
[19:11] <jcastro> ~uds-organizers = schedulers
[19:11] <nigelb> No, we can't be admins
[19:11] <jcastro> and then everyone else
[19:11] <nigelb> sponsorship
[19:11] <jcastro> admins = ISD
[19:11] <nigelb> and what about sponsorship? who access that?
[19:12] <nigelb> that's where I have blurry information
[19:12] <nigelb> do ~uds-organizers have access to that? Should they?
[19:13] <jcastro> so for sponsorship we should do this
[19:13] <jcastro> anyone in canonical should be able to leave a comment on a person's sponsorship page
[19:13] <jcastro> and track leads have the votes
[19:14] <nigelb> jcastro: ah, so we have lp:~canonical?
[19:14] <jcastro> not sure
[19:14] <jcastro> but you can leave that part as is
[19:14] <jcastro> it's not that big of a deal
[19:14] <jcastro> I think more important is putting that person's stats on their sponsorship application
[19:15] <jcastro> so like, since you know the LP name already
[19:15] <jcastro> suck in their groups, etc.
[19:15] <jcastro> that way it's obvious when a person's a member, etc.
[19:16] <jcastro> and the bug about having a status page for people who apply would be nice
[19:16] <jcastro> since emails keep getting lost.
[19:23] <cjohnston> jcastro: for the permission matrix, I think we need something to be written somewhere, and well defined... i.e. Admins get x, y, z Track Leads get x, y, Schedulers get y, z, and anything else that may be needed
[19:24] <cjohnston> and a definition of who the people that fill those spots are
[19:26] <cjohnston> Is that something we could get?
[19:49] <nigelb> jcastro: do you use the default django admin for sponsorships?
[19:51] <AlanBell> mhall119: that was a fun night out
[19:51] <AlanBell> hope I don't look as though I had drunk as many beers as I had
[19:52] <nigelb> AlanBell: No you didn't :)
[19:54] <jcastro> nigelb: what do you mean?
[19:54] <jcastro> oh yeah
[19:54] <jcastro> there's a checkbox for "can vote on sponsorships" or somesuch
[19:55] <nigelb> jcastro: that looks painful. How do you get the data out? Like get the top 50 people?
[19:55] <jcastro> there's a page that sorts them all
[19:55]  * nigelb looks for it
[19:55] <jcastro> but only the canonical managers vote so it's no big deal to just go into their record in django when there's a new one
[19:57] <nigelb> jcastro: ah, nice. Found the page.
[19:57] <nigelb> jcastro: We're planning on having track lead information page, so having them in summit helps for sponsorship as well as displaying them
[19:57] <jcastro> yeah
[19:58] <jcastro> and I want any employee to be able to leave comments
[19:58] <jcastro> not just voters
[19:58] <jcastro> that way people who work in those areas can leave comments to help track leads make more informed decisions
[20:17] <cjohnston> jcastro: for that there needs to be some way of defining who is an employee
[20:17] <cjohnston> There isn't any sort of ~canonical is there? cause that may be the easiest
[20:18] <jcastro> I am not sure if there is
[20:19] <jcastro> cjohnston: oh you mean for all employees?
[20:19] <cjohnston> you want all employees to be able to comment correct?
[20:19] <cjohnston> if so, then yes
[20:20] <jcastro> ah yeah, it's ~canonical
[20:20] <jcastro> yea
[20:20] <cjohnston> ok.. so that wont be too bad
[20:20] <cjohnston> how much information should be visible to the employees?
[20:21] <cjohnston> nigelb: sounds like there needs to be an Is Employee as defined by ~canonical; an Is Manager defined by a check box; and an Is Track Lead defined by check box
[20:39] <jcastro> on a random note
[20:39] <jcastro> jono: megadeth's been in the studio, they're almost done with the recording
[20:40] <jcastro> I didn't even know that
[20:44] <jcastro> jono: lmk when you're listening to music, I have a recommendation.

[23:07] <czajkowski> ahh best of luck with the move
[23:07] <nhandler> jcastro: We really didn't have much for DEX, and we are trying to have as little actual information stored by dex itself as possible (making it more of a portal), so yes, I'm basically writing the web stuff from scratch right now
