[08:08] <kim0> Morning
[10:47] <nigelb> dholbach: HAHAHA
[10:47] <dholbach> nigelb?
[10:47] <nigelb> dholbach: You have Christ Johnston in your address book for cjohnston!
[10:48] <nigelb> I know he's awesome and all that. I didn't know he was /that/ awesome :P
[10:48] <dholbach> I have no idea why thunderbird keeps doing that
[10:48] <nigelb> heh
[10:48] <dholbach> I guess it got automagically copied from some mail I replied to
[10:48] <dholbach> fixing it
[10:50] <nigelb> I went through the registration process now. I couldn't see any phishing.
[10:51] <nigelb> I'm wonder if thre was something wrong with the third party
[10:51] <dholbach> which third party?
[10:51] <nigelb> the people who do the forms.canonical.com
[10:52] <dholbach> mh, do we have a contact for those?
[10:52] <nigelb> dholbach: I'm fairly certain that https://www.tfaforms.com belongs to veer west who do that stuff.
[10:52] <nigelb> marianna should know more
[10:52] <dholbach> veer west?
[10:53] <nigelb> Yeah, that's the company that does that. A while back tehy advertised Canonical as their customer
[10:53] <nigelb> dholbach: They still do -> http://www3.formassembly.com/
[10:54] <dholbach> hum
[10:54] <dholbach> hum
[10:54] <dholbach> hum
[10:54] <dholbach> hum
[10:54] <nigelb> :)
[10:55] <czajkowski> ok if canonical shippit person doesnt know the date of release of 11.10 that is a bit worrying
[10:55] <czajkowski> :/
[10:56] <nigelb> Not really. That person could be new.
[10:56] <popey> You worry too much.
[10:56] <popey> (c) Dave Walker 2009
[10:56] <nigelb> popey++
[10:57] <czajkowski> popey: :)
[10:57] <czajkowski> nigelb: yeah she could you're entirely right, howerver, this close to a release I would expect the date to be well known.
[10:58] <nigelb> There's still a month more!
[10:58] <nigelb> :)
[10:58] <czajkowski> nigelb: fine.
[10:58] <nigelb> Actually, when is the release date?
[10:58]  * nigelb check schedule
[10:59] <nigelb> Aha, 13th.
=== Pendulum_ is now known as Pendulum
[11:03] <Daviey> popey: what have i copyrighted?
[11:03] <nigelb> Daviey: "You worry too much"
[11:03] <Daviey> ahh
[11:03] <Daviey> yes
[11:03] <Daviey> you all do.
[11:03] <Daviey> I am worried about mhall119 landing summit code which is filling my inbox with error emails.
[11:04] <Daviey> other than that... peace.
[11:04] <nigelb> Daviey: Its the machine. Can you help us move things there?
[11:04]  * czajkowski hugs Daviey 
[11:05]  * Daviey finds nigelb very moving.
[11:06] <Daviey> nigelb: is there a bug about it?
[11:07] <nigelb> Daviey: There's an RT.
[11:08] <nigelb> Daviey: Its not the code actually. We need to play Sherlock on that server ^-^
[11:08] <Daviey> nigelb: are you sure?
[11:09] <nigelb> Daviey: Fairly sure, yes. Summit runs okay on our test server
[11:10] <Daviey> http://pb.daviey.com/BWZO/ , looks pretty 'code related'.
[11:11] <nigelb> Daviey: EWW. That looks like fail, yes.
=== dholbach_ is now known as dholbach
[11:49] <nigelb> dholbach: Were you able to investigate that more? :)
[11:50] <dholbach> nigelb, I'm asking around
[11:55] <mhall119> Daviey: did you file a bug?
[11:57] <mhall119> Daviey: looks like something didn't get changed properly during one of james_w's merges, it's an easy enough fix
[12:11] <mhall119> Daviey: got a fix coded: https://code.launchpad.net/~mhall119/summit/fix-personal-ical/+merge/76393
[12:11] <mhall119> nigelb: would you mind reviewing?
[12:13] <nigelb> mhall119: a little later, busy at work
[12:13] <mhall119> ok, I'll see if james_w can do it when he's around
[12:17] <Daviey> fine. same to you mhall119 :)
[12:21] <mhall119> huh?
[12:22] <mhall119> Daviey: awstrial got it's first 2 tests written last night
[12:24] <Daviey> mhall119: oh, nice
[12:24] <czajkowski> BBC are here recording
[12:25] <mhall119> czajkowski: recording what?
[12:25] <czajkowski> saying we're breaking one of apples patents on android app
[12:31] <mhall119> stupid stupid software patents
[12:32] <czajkowski> mhall119: it's over this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14858056
[12:36] <mhall119> czajkowski: sounds like the BBC is on your side at least
[12:37] <czajkowski> it's the guy who  wrote that is in here
[12:38] <mhall119> cool
[13:45] <nigelb> mhall119: did you get it reviewed?
[13:45] <nigelb> I'm not *stuck* at work, with nothing to do.
[13:45] <nigelb> Babysitting a process
[13:47] <nigelb> ah, approved and merged. Cool!
[13:47] <mhall119> nigelb: I think james_w reviewed it
[13:47] <james_w> I did
[13:57] <jcastro> heya james_w
[13:57] <jcastro> had the call with the track leads to explain the scheduling
[13:57] <jcastro> they oddly enough, had almost no questions
[13:57] <james_w> that's good I guess
[13:57] <jcastro> one thing though, you guys need to put the track leads in the scheduling/drivers group for the linaro sprint
[13:57] <james_w> did you just cover filing blueprints and approving them for the sprint?
[13:57] <james_w> yeah
[13:57] <jcastro> otherwise they can't accept/decline blueprints
[13:57] <jcastro> yeah I also showed them the summit editing and all that
[13:58] <jcastro> (not the admin stuff, but the manually scheduling)
[13:58] <mhall119> jcastro: track leads shouldn't be manually scheduling should they?
[13:58] <jcastro> they can adjust
[13:58] <jcastro> but prior to UDS
[13:59] <jcastro> I told them after 9am Monday they go through the front desk
[14:00] <jcastro> mhall119: also hey
[14:00] <czajkowski> Old Jamaica Ginger beer is my new addiction
[14:00] <jcastro> the plenary slots are wrong
[14:05] <mhall119> hey jcastro
[14:06] <mhall119> jcastro: so fix them
[14:06] <mhall119> jcastro: remember, init-slots is a 90% solution
[14:06] <jcastro> ugh
[14:06] <jcastro> dude
[14:06] <jcastro> why does initslots make them wrong?
[14:06] <mhall119> what's wrong about them?
[14:07] <mhall119> if it's an error that can be fixed, file a bug
[14:08] <jcastro> they're supposed to be 15 minute blocks
[14:08] <jcastro> k, filing
[14:10]  * jcastro goes to manually fix all the slots
[14:10] <jcastro> I hate myself
[14:10] <jcastro> dholbach: what are you working on now? It might make me feel better about myself
[14:10] <nigelb> haha
[14:11] <nigelb> jcastro: bug #?
[14:12] <czajkowski> jcastro: awwww you're a bit eveil toda
[14:12] <jcastro> heh
[14:12] <jcastro> https://bugs.launchpad.net/summit/+bug/855586
[14:12] <ubot2> Ubuntu bug 855586 in summit "init-slots makes plenaries too long" [Undecided,New]
[14:12] <jcastro> but don't run anything, I'll just fix them by hand
[14:12] <nigelb> twss
[14:12] <nigelb> :)
[14:13] <nigelb> jcastro: is it going to be 4 x 15 everyday?
[14:13] <jcastro> not Friday
[14:13] <jcastro> that's LIGTHENING
[14:13] <nigelb> heh
[14:13] <czajkowski> flash lightening
[14:14] <czajkowski> ginger beer and sweets = sugar rush
[14:14] <nigelb> jcastro: any complaints about summit at UDS, please encourage folks to file a bug :)
[14:14] <jcastro> ok updated the bug to tell you about friday
[14:15] <nigelb> Or kick cjohnston. That works as well.
[14:15] <jcastro> summit works fine
[14:15] <jcastro> it's people blame summit for us being so disorganized
[14:15] <jcastro> I've been ready to schedule for like 2 weeks
[14:15] <czajkowski> jcastro: and nobody can ever say you are disorganised :)
[14:15] <jcastro> and they still don't know the final tracks
[14:15]  * czajkowski hands jcastro the cane, go poke em 
[14:19] <jcastro> hmmm
[14:19] <jcastro> something bad happens when I click save on a slot
[14:19] <jcastro> "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to summit.ubuntu.com"
[14:20] <Daviey> jcastro: you just broke it for everyone
[14:20] <jcastro> nice!
[14:22] <jcastro> what happened?
[14:22] <mhall119> dammit jcastro, not again
[14:22] <nigelb> /never/ let jcastro play with summit.
[14:23] <jcastro> dude, you asked for it!
[14:23] <nigelb> :)
[14:23] <mhall119> nigelb: +1million
[14:23] <jcastro> "jcastro: remember, init-slots is a 90% solution"
[14:23] <jcastro> my 10% is BAD!
[14:24] <mhall119> wow jcastro, you really did it this time
[14:24] <mhall119> mhall@cranberry:~$ ps -ef |grep apache
[14:24] <mhall119> mhall    24357 24288  0 14:23 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto apache
[14:24] <dholbach> jcastro, was just out for lunch, now I try to get a few non-UDS things done
[14:24] <Daviey> jcastro: Everytime you go near summit, you break it! :)
[14:24] <mhall119> he broke loco-directory too
[14:24] <jcastro> I had to adjust the slots
[14:24] <mhall119> and status.u.c
[14:24] <Daviey> jcastro: you induced an apache segfault.
[14:24] <jcastro> Daviey: I had to adjust the slots because your initslots thing is wrong
[14:25] <jcastro> whoa, never induced an apache segpahult before
[14:25] <Daviey> http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/ down, thanks jcastro
[14:25] <jcastro> I am special!
[14:25] <jcastro> man
[14:25] <jcastro> I hope the wiki is down
[14:25] <czajkowski> lol
[14:25] <jcastro> that would be the best thing I could do for the project.
[14:25] <czajkowski> jcastro: you are on a roll today
[14:25] <Daviey> Great
[14:25] <Daviey> http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/
[14:25] <Daviey> We might need to defer the Beta 2 release if we can't track it.
[14:25] <jcastro> man, EPIC.
[14:26] <jcastro> way to go on the whole infrastructure design there Daviey
[14:26] <jcastro> put everything we need on one box.
[14:26] <Daviey> jcastro: The apt archive i am using is also broken now, was that you aswell?
[14:26] <jcastro> juju deploy summit
[14:26] <jcastro> juju add-unit summit
[14:26] <mhall119> dholbach: do you know what "python number-of-items-in-queue" is running for?
[14:27] <popey> My coffee is cold, is that your fault too jcastro !?
[14:27] <Daviey> jcastro: Geez, we are stuffed now.
[14:27] <jcastro> Daviey: hey man, I only sneezed, you're the one who built this house of cards.
[14:27] <mhall119> apache is back up on cranberry
[14:27] <dholbach> mhall119, yes, sponsoring-stats
[14:27] <mhall119> dholbach: it seems to run a lot
[14:28] <Daviey> Great, beta 2 might still ship on time. no thanks to jcastro
[14:28] <nigelb> lol
[14:28] <jcastro> \o/
[14:28] <Daviey> mhall119: What would be the best way of blocking troublesome users from summit?
[14:28] <nigelb> iptables!
[14:28] <nigelb> ban them from cranberry!
[14:28] <dholbach> mhall119, I changed it to every 2 weeks
[14:28] <dholbach> err
[14:28] <dholbach> hours
[14:29] <mhall119> Daviey: you mean like jcastro ?
[14:29] <jcastro> well, I guess this will get initslots fixed!
[14:29] <jcastro> >_>
[14:29] <jcastro> <_<
[14:29] <Daviey> mhall119: well yeah.
[14:30] <mhall119> 14:24 < lamont> [Wed Sep 21 14:18:36 2011] [alert] (11)Resource temporarily  unavailable: apr_thread_create: unable to create worker thread
[14:30] <mhall119> 14:24 < lamont> what are you guys doing to that poor box?
[14:31] <dholbach> jcastro, why did you ask?
[14:31] <mhall119> I suspect our random out-of-memory error has finally struck apache
[14:31] <Daviey> we jcastro'd it
[14:31] <czajkowski> I think jcastro would make an excellent QA person he breaks things in a unique way
[14:31] <jcastro> no way dude
[14:31] <jcastro> it's the OOM killer
[14:31] <jcastro> yes, it's so hard to break summit
[14:32] <jcastro> like putting a PERIOD in the wrong field = doom.
[14:32] <mhall119> you didn't break summit, you broke apache!
[14:32] <AlanBell> that is a lot of rooms on summit right now, will the list be trimmed a bit?
[14:32] <czajkowski> jcastro: key word - unique way :)
[14:32] <nigelb> jcastro: We Fixed that one bbtw.
[14:32] <nigelb> g22
[14:32] <jcastro> AlanBell: some are dedicated linaro hacking rooms
[14:33] <AlanBell> oh, there are new urls somewhere for the display screens right?
[14:33] <nigelb> /uds-p/today
[14:34] <AlanBell> is that selective of certain rooms or is it going to overflow the 1920 px width . . .
[14:34] <nigelb> Hrm, no.
[14:34] <nigelb> This is going to be fun.
[14:35] <popey> 4K screens needed :D
[14:35] <AlanBell> oops
[14:35] <nigelb> We'll have to do two monitors ^-^
[14:35] <popey> or make them touch screens so people can move the schedule about
[14:36] <popey> use marquee to scroll the rooms! :D
[14:36] <jcastro> mhall119: hey at least someone will look at the errors now for you
[14:36] <jcastro> see, I actually helped.
[14:36] <mhall119> jcastro: you sure about that?
[14:37] <jcastro> hah, of course not.
[14:37] <nigelb> If someone helps, I'm buying jcastro a drink
[14:37] <AlanBell> 1920 gets you up to about bonaire 6 I think, 2048 is most of Bonaire 8
[14:37] <mhall119> AlanBell: yeah, I brought that up a couple days ago, jcastro assured me we had the same number of rooms as last time
[14:38] <nigelb> Actually, we should build an ID card powered by ardunio which displays the schedule on an LCD screen
[14:38] <nigelb> :D
[14:38] <jcastro> I am not sure now
[14:38] <jcastro> I thought we had the same tracks and rooms too
[14:38] <jcastro> but this morning I learned that we have 2 new tracks, etc.
[14:38] <mhall119> tracks don't matter for displaying the schedule on the big LCDs
[14:38] <mhall119> number of rooms does
[14:39] <nigelb> Number of "public* rooms
[14:40] <Daviey> jcastro: Is there space for the pool to be a 'room'?  I'd like to schedule some sessions there pls.?
[14:40] <jcastro> yeah, word
[14:40] <nigelb> +1
[14:41] <jcastro> hold on, let me add it in the ADMIN SECTION
[14:41] <jcastro> here I go!
[14:41] <nigelb> make it private!
[14:41] <jcastro> (haha just kidding I'm not touching anything)
[14:41] <nigelb> We don't want it flooded
[14:41] <nigelb> (see what I did there?)
[14:41] <AlanBell> and rename it during UDS :)
[14:42]  * Daviey does a targeted P session in the pool.
[14:43]  * jcastro pets Daviey on the head
[14:43] <popey> O_O
[14:43] <jcastro> popey: I blame you for bringing Daviey into this community.
[14:43] <jcastro> also, wait a minute
[14:43] <popey> Wasnt me.
[14:43] <jcastro> why was everyone blaming me for all of this when popey was sitting right here the whole time?
[14:44] <popey> uh
[14:44]  * popey wanders off
[14:44] <nigelb> jcastro: THe server didn't get shut down
[14:44] <nigelb> jcastro: Did you hear popey wanted to shut down another list? :P
[14:45] <jcastro> really? which one?
[14:45] <jcastro> all of them?
[14:45] <jcastro> +1!
[14:45] <nigelb> lol
[14:45] <nigelb> users I think
[14:45] <jcastro> oh right
[14:45] <jcastro> aka. sounder part 2.
[14:47] <jcastro> "well, if I add [OT] to the subject, I can get away with it."
[14:47] <popey> [OT] Linux mint help, oh BTW you all suck
[14:47] <popey> etc
[14:48] <jcastro> this is an easy one
[14:48] <jcastro> "Ubuntu user technical support, not for general discussions"
[14:48] <jcastro> clear guidance there
[14:48] <jcastro> no grey area
[14:48] <popey> for the avoidance of any doubt...
[14:48] <popey> http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/09/20/%23ubuntu-meeting.html#t11:09
[14:49] <jcastro> I can't say that I'm in favor of Ubuntu killing off synaptic either. I
[14:49] <jcastro> LIKE it and don't like the "package installer" thingie with all the pink
[14:49] <jcastro> unicorns and sparklies and "vote on this" ala "Eddie, your friendly
[14:49] <jcastro> computer" style. I've never been, and don't want to become, friends with
[14:49] <jcastro> my computer, in any way. They are evil and I'm pure mean.
[14:49] <popey> "sabdflaiee, we should just shut that baby down"
[14:49] <jcastro> it is pretty comedy though
[14:50]  * AlanBell doesn't want to go swimming in a pool that Daviey has done a targetted P session in
[14:51] <jcastro> "i did ponder maybe a monthly mail"
[14:51] <jcastro> that's suicide
[14:51] <popey> meh
[14:51] <popey> it wont be my problem soon
[14:52] <jcastro> though, my take on using lists and forums for tech support is well documented.
[14:52] <jcastro> I shall write a poem of popey's CC term
[14:52] <popey> SHUT THEM DOWN!
[14:52] <popey> (c) J Castro
[14:52] <jcastro> Killer of lists, you wonderful sideys.
[14:53] <jcastro> "Thanks Al. I sinned and installed Mint 11. I admit it. I can't STAND
[14:53] <jcastro> that HTML only community thing they have. I might as well be top-posting
[14:53] <jcastro> in here at 300 baud."
[14:53] <Daviey> popey clearly hates mailing lists, he is a forum lover.
[14:53] <jcastro> this is awesome popey, thank you
[14:54] <nigelb> jcastro: heh
[14:54] <jcastro> "It ain't for old-skool

[16:47] <czajkowski> I'm must do a blog post on companies who are awful at getting back to people racksapce is near the top
[16:52] <akgraner> czajkowski, amen there
[16:52] <akgraner> so is *cough cough* Canonical
[16:53] <nigelb> Actually, CAnonical is on the very top.
[16:53] <akgraner> crap  - that was supposed to be my inside voice
[16:54] <czajkowski> saying that yesterday I got offered another job while in a job
[16:54] <czajkowski> and also now being offered to go somewhere else to interview
[16:54] <czajkowski> and interviews lined up for nov for a job in jan
[16:54] <czajkowski> so it took 4 months of diddly squat to get 4 offers in a week
[16:55] <akgraner> Rackspace  interviewed me for a position after they already hired someone for the position they were interviewing me for
[16:56] <nigelb> what the..
[16:56] <akgraner> then it took them 3 weeks to even tell me - I found out when the person they hired contacted me to do an interview with them
[16:56] <nigelb> wait, the person they hired interviewed you for *that* position?
[16:56] <akgraner> talk about royal suckage
[16:56] <akgraner> no they contacted me to interview them for Linux Pro
[16:57] <nigelb> Oh, lol.
[16:57] <akgraner> yeah - I wasn't lol'img at the time I was dropping a bunch of f-bombs
[16:58] <akgraner> to be fair  - I wasn't the only one that happened to and later I got an apology ...
[17:04]  * popey wonders if AlanBell has seen the misleading text in the installer these days
[17:05] <popey> "At the heart of Ubuntu.s philosophy is a belief that computing is for everyone. With advanced accessibility tools and options like your preferred color scheme, text size, and language, Ubuntu is all about working for real people."
[17:06] <popey> s/advanced/broken/
[17:08] <mhall119> "so advanced it only works in the future"
[17:08] <jcastro> man if we had to remove everything that we claim to do the website would be empty.
[17:10] <dholbach> alright my friends, I call it a day
[17:10] <dholbach> see you all tomorrow
[17:10] <cjohnston> bye dholbach
=== salgado-lunch is now known as salgado
[17:16] <AlanBell> popey: I did see that, yes
[17:18] <AlanBell> akgraner: I once nearly lost a job that I had accepted an offer for because the agent rang me up and I told them I had found a job and wasn't looking any more . . .
[17:20] <AlanBell> Bug #773243 is probably the worst example of missleading stuff on the website that might cause legal issues
[17:20] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 773243 in ubuntu-website "Ubuntu website advertises "Fully compatible with Microsoft Office"" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/773243
[17:21] <jcastro> AlanBell: http://www.libreoffice.org/features/
[17:21] <jcastro> their description also has the same problem
[17:22] <jcastro> "You can easily import files from Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint and many other formats, and can easily save to Microsoft Office and other formats when needed."
[17:22] <jcastro> this one takes the cake though
[17:22] <jcastro> "You get a simple-to-use yet powerful interface that is easy to personalize – Microsoft Office users will find the switch easy and painless, with a familiar look and feel."
[17:22] <AlanBell> that is all fine
[17:23] <AlanBell> really it is totally defensible
[17:23] <jcastro> lol, none of that is defendable as far as I can tell
[17:24] <AlanBell> in trade descriptions terms yes, it is
[17:25] <AlanBell> "you can easily" <- weasle words
[17:25] <AlanBell> and it isn't promising to import all files perfectly, just saying that it is easy to do
[17:28] <AlanBell> "Compatible with all major competitors' file formats." is what Libre Office says
[17:28] <AlanBell> "*Fully* compatible with Microsoft Office" is what we say
[17:41] <popey> LIES!
[17:41] <popey> Damned lies and statistics
[17:41] <popey> in other news, I'm going home.
[17:52] <jcastro> wait!
[17:52] <jcastro> popey!
[17:53]  * jcastro lunches now
[18:17] <cjohnston> jcastro: is there any reason for having http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-p/interest/  still? To my knowledge, we don't use it for anything?
[18:18] <cjohnston> I know, I know.. your not incharge of this UDS..
[18:18] <jcastro> afaict no one uses it
[18:18] <mhall119> cjohnston: for God's sake man, don't make him change stuff
[18:18] <cjohnston> anything wrong with it being removed?
[18:18] <jcastro> I mean, once we got the personal schedules in place
[18:19] <cjohnston> mhall119: I'm not making him change anything.. This is for you to change
[18:19] <jcastro> I'm not touching anything
[18:19] <jcastro> I didn't even go to the URL
[18:19] <jcastro> because I am scared
[18:19] <mhall119> nope, I'm just a dev, I'm not responsible for production data
[18:19] <cjohnston> mhall119: its a code change.. to remove it
[18:19]  * cjohnston removes jcastro's admin access
[18:19] <mhall119> oh, I thought it was a track or something
[18:20] <cjohnston> click the link
[18:20] <mhall119> +1 for removal
[18:20] <mhall119> I don't think it actually does anything does it?
[18:20] <cjohnston> that's my thoughts
[18:20] <cjohnston> thats why im asking
[18:21] <cjohnston> I know that jcastro likes nuking wiki pages, and nigelb likes nuking summit code.. so since both like nuking, I figured its a match made in summit.. or something
[18:21] <jcastro> "... and that's how we accidentally deleted all of UDS, Jane."
[18:22] <mhall119> lol
[18:22] <cjohnston> luckly its you in her office and not me
[18:23] <mhall119> jcastro: come on, this is summit we're talking about
[18:23] <mhall119> no way it's stop at just taking itself out
[18:23] <mhall119> it'd be more like "... and that's how we accidentally deleted all of the Internet"
[18:23] <cjohnston> What would Gore do then?
[18:24] <mhall119> think of the energy savings when we're all luddites
[18:26] <czajkowski> mhall119: if summit goes can we nuke the wiki too
[18:27] <czajkowski> nobody would ever think jcastro would nuke the wiki if he had the chance
[18:27] <cjohnston> I'd be up for the wiki first.. I think, asside from the server, that summit is good stuff now days
[18:27] <jcastro> indeed
[18:28] <AlanBell> http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-p/meeting/19095/linaro-hackfest-mm%2Bgfx-1/ slugs with plus signs in them . .  interesting . . .
[18:28] <mhall119> AlanBell: they can also contain . and % now
[18:28] <mhall119> without breaking
[18:28] <jcastro> my title email about the wiki to IS/Elliot was "the wiki makes me want to kill myself"
[18:29] <AlanBell> mhall119: depends where you look :)

[18:30] <mhall119> AlanBell: okay, we're not escaping it somewhere correctly then
[18:31] <mhall119> AlanBell: bug please?
[18:32] <mhall119> wait, where are you seeing one without + ?
[18:35] <jcastro> james_w: ping
[18:37] <james_w> hi jcastro
[18:37] <jcastro> hey I don't know if I told you already
[18:37] <jcastro> but the linaro track leads need to be set to be the drivers for the linaro sprint
[18:38] <james_w> jcastro, you did and I've done it :-)
[18:38] <james_w> that's what I call teamwork
[18:38] <jcastro> high five
[18:43] <AlanBell> mhall119: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-p/meeting/19095/linaro-hackfest-mm%2Bgfx-1/ links bottom right
[18:43] <AlanBell> except for the blueprint one which should have the +
[18:44] <mhall119> AlanBell: they all have the + for me
[18:45] <mhall119> http://pad.ubuntu.com/ep/pad/view/uds-p-linaro-hackfest-mm+gfx-1/latest
[18:46] <AlanBell> yes, they do :)
[18:46] <AlanBell> etherpad mangles it
[18:47] <mhall119> :(
[18:47] <AlanBell> http://pad.ubuntu.com/uds-p-linaro-hackfest-mm+gfx-1 redirects to http://pad.ubuntu.com/uds-p-linaro-hackfest-mm-gfx-1
[18:47] <AlanBell> but the /latest link does no redirect and gives a 404
[18:48] <mhall119> what's doing that redirect?
[18:49] <AlanBell> Bug #855826

[18:50] <AlanBell> etherpad is generating a 301 or something
[18:52] <mhall119> AlanBell: can we make etherpad do the 301 for /latest URLs?

[18:55] <jcastro> jono: so hey, UDS tracks
[18:55] <Pici> BarkingFish: He left about two hours ago, it looks like. But perhaps theres something else that someone else here could help you with?
[18:56] <BarkingFish> Pici, - I had an email from him asking if he can blog about me or interview me for something he's doing.
[18:56] <BarkingFish> I just want to let him down with a polite "thanks, but no thanks" if it's ok.
[18:57] <Pici> BarkingFish: ah.  Well, he'll be back tomorrow most likely.  He uses the nick dholbach (original eh ;)
[18:57] <BarkingFish> very...
[18:57] <Pici> Actually, I just noticed that a lot of the regulars here use their names as their nicks...
[18:57] <BarkingFish> I'll drop him a memo, save coming hunting for him.
[18:57] <AlanBell> mhall119: if I could ssh into my etherpad server I would find out
[18:58] <Pici> BarkingFish: He wasn't identified when he was here before, so I'm not sure he'll get it.
[18:59] <BarkingFish> Pici, That's ok.  If someone sees him, and he's not logged in, just remind him to log in :)
[19:02] <jono> jcastro, yeah?
[19:02] <jcastro> jono: we have ARM and Product now?
[19:03] <jono> jcastro, ARM yes, Product?
[19:03] <jcastro> oh sorry, I mean "consumer"? according to cezz
[19:04] <jono> jcastro, yeah the consumer one is not confirmed, as I said in the email
[19:05] <jcastro> oh, I didn't get an email from you yet
[19:05] <jcastro> k, I can work arm for now
[19:05] <jono> jcastro, I just replied to the thread
[19:06] <jono> jcastro, forward it on
[19:06] <jono> my email seems all screwy today
[19:06] <jcastro> got it just now
[19:06] <jcastro> ok so I'm confused about other
[19:07] <jcastro> because Linaro also has an "other"
[19:08] <AlanBell> mhall119: I found the redirect, it is line 231 of etherpad/control/pad/pad_control.js I think
[19:09] <mhall119> AlanBell: can it be added to the other URLs too?
[19:10] <mhall119> if now, we'll have to mangle all the URLs we put on the pages to avoid it
[19:12] <jono> jcastro, yeah this will be an Ubuntu Other
[19:12] <jono> jcastro, I assume Linaro are dealing with adding their own tracks
[19:14] <AlanBell> return str.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9\-]/g, '-');
[19:15] <AlanBell> ^^ that is how it mangles pad strings to valid pad strings
[19:15] <AlanBell> I am a bit scared of the etherpad code, there are many ways to go wrong
[19:16] <AlanBell> plus we don't have a change management/deployment procedure for etherpad
[19:17] <AlanBell> so I would suggest applying that regexp to the URLS we generate for the pads
[19:17] <AlanBell> to the slug part that is
[19:18] <jono> brb
[19:29] <mhall119> AlanBell: can you add that replace to the bug you filed?
[19:29] <mhall119> it would be easy enough to do on our end
[19:31] <AlanBell> will do
[19:45] <jcastro> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr_373vVvqo
