nathanyhey greg-g, should we actually check in today? :)15:59
greg-gnathany: if you want :)16:03
nathanygreg-g: anything new to report? :)16:03
nathanymaybe we should just figure out a f2f for when i'm in MI16:03
greg-gthat probably would be most efficient16:04
nathanyif there isn't anything new/amazing/questionable/etc, let's do that16:04
greg-galso, I was going to ask you if you had spoke with Jim Eng about meeting f2f re: sakai stuff16:04
nathanyi did briefly16:04
nathanyi need to send some emails today to Ted, et al about firming up my schedule16:04
greg-ganything come of it? want me to make some plans for you? :)16:04
greg-gok16:04
nathanyhe said he was interested but we never really nailed down a time16:05
greg-gk16:05
greg-glet me know if you want me to do anything about that16:05
nathanyis there anyone else outside the ted/pieter/garin/etc team i should see while i'm there (beside the inside of Zingerman's? ;) )16:05
greg-gheh16:05
greg-gwell, there are all the other Open Access Week events, if you wanted to attend any of those (no technical talks). Maybe a quick "hello" to Molly Kleinman16:06
nathanygot it16:07
nathanyok, cool16:07
nathanyis your schedule reasonably up to date on google? or should i just ping you after i fill in meetings with others to set up a sync meeting?16:07
greg-gmy schedule is up to date for all recuring things at least16:08
greg-gand most other things, so yes. the answer is yes. :)16:08
nathanyexcellent :)16:08
nathanygreat checking in with you ;)16:09
greg-ggo efficiency!16:09
greg-g(I was eating lunch the whole time, you never would have known either)16:09
nathanylol16:09
paulproteusI wonder if daylight savings time can help trick me into getting up early.16:12
paulproteusSo far, it seems to be working, but the sample size is relatively small.16:12
greg-gpaulproteus: I wouldn't count on it. It didn't work for me.16:12
greg-gof course, I was up at 3am making a BY-SA chart, that might have something to do with it.16:13
paulproteusI was up then too, but what I was doing was painstakingly choosing a venue for the Debian Lenny release party.16:14
paulproteusBut also I went to sleep half an hour later and am in the time zone where "3am Eastern" is only midnight, muahaha.16:14
greg-gie: drinking at different bars.16:14
paulproteusBTW, nathany , you're invited to http://bad.debian.net/list/2009-March/003303.html16:15
paulproteusnathany, What was the .no problem, btw?16:15
paulproteusMaybe I'll just read the commit log.16:15
* paulproteus does that16:16
nathanypaulproteus: awesome, i'll put it on my calendar...16:16
nathanypaulproteus: msgctxt seems to make zope's (python's?) i18n compiler barf16:16
paulproteusDoes Zope i18n just not support msgctxt... ...yes.16:17
paulproteusOkay then.16:17
nathanybut barf in a way that just makes it ignore the rest of the PO16:17
nathanyi haven't dug deep enough to figure out if this is a Zope or Python problem16:17
paulproteusI mean, there's some sense in "Fail hard".16:17
nathanypaulproteus: right16:21
*** Bovinity has joined #cc16:35
paulproteusnathany, Ankit's code quality doesn't seem to have improved dramatically in a year.16:47

paulproteusI'm trying to, also, but it's not working as well.16:48
nathany:)16:48
CharelB:(16:48
CharelBdamned shit16:49
nathanyi suggest just ignoring his code... unless you and mlinksva have had a conversation to the contrary16:49
nathanyif it doesn't work, we'll write it ourselves when the time comes (i suspect)16:49
paulproteusI'm going to spend 15m more fixing it, and then I'll go back to ignoring it.16:49
nathanyawesome16:50
paulproteusI still want them to be able to get as far as possible without us doing a lot of work.16:50
CharelBwhy does cc does not sell these shirts in black ... these creative commoner shirts :/16:50

Bovinityotherwise, demand is on the up!16:53
CharelBI called yet yes :/16:53
CharelBi'm that guy from luxembourg.16:54
paulproteusI'm really floored by the weirdness of Ankit's code.16:55
paulproteusIt represents a way of thinking I do not understand.16:55
Bovinitytrippy16:55
paulproteusAdmittedly it seems he doesn't either, or else it would actually work.16:55

*** TRD is now known as TRD|Busy17:00
paulproteusI mean, the code isn't just wrong in an MIT vs. New Jersey sense. It's wrong as in it doesn't run successfully.17:09

mlinksvapaulproteus: what code is being discussed?17:14
paulproteusnathany, It's not, and I'm done now.17:14
nathanygreat :)17:14
paulproteusmlinksva, Ankit G. wrote some code to read data from our CSV dumps of linkback stats that he wants to digest into data he's going to put onto the CC Monitor wiki.17:15
paulproteusIf this is the level of "data analysis" code that project is going to get, it's utterly hopeless.17:15
paulproteusWhich is a shame, because it's a cool project.17:15
nathanypaulproteus: don't worry! they want to write a skin too! ;)17:15
paulproteus"At least" that's not Ankit's plan, just Jackson's.17:16
nathany"at least" indeed17:16

greg-g16:02 <   jcastro> I kind of like this orgmode thing20:06
greg-g16:02 <   jcastro> but like, it needs emacs20:06
greg-g16:02 <   jcastro> and I don't feel like learning a new OS.20:06
greg-g16:03 <   jcastro> however, an orgmode thing for tomboy would be .... awesome20:06
paulproteusI love org mode, and I just made a cheat sheet for myself that I refer to.20:12
nathanygreg-g: i *want* to like tomboy... just like i want to like tasque20:13
paulproteusHave you tried Getting Things GNOME?20:13
paulproteusIt seems to me it's yet another thing that won't be as enjoyable as org mode.20:13

paulproteusnathany, re: http://code.creativecommons.org/issues/issue20120:16

paulproteusWe just want this to be one-off - but what if someone tries to do a translation on Pootle?20:16
paulproteusAnd then commits it, and then we feel dumb?20:16
paulproteusI guess that's no big deal if we disable commit for en and en_US there.20:16
nathanyright20:16
paulproteusI'll ensure that is the case.20:16
paulproteusYou are the only one with commit on either, and in fact you have it on both.20:18

paulproteusSure thing, and sorry about barging in with it when there's a real fire to be put out.23:13
nathanypaulproteus: np :)23:13
Bovinitypaulproteus: with git-svn, can i push a git tree into a git-svn, and act like it was in svn all along?23:14
paulproteusYou mean like, make a git commit based on svn, and then when future svn revs come in, have them be based on your git rev?23:15
paulproteusLike svn r3 -> svn r4 -> my git commit -> svn r5 -> ...23:16
paulproteusThere's no automated way to do that (but I'm not sure what you're asking really, but I sense the answer's no).23:16
Bovinitypaulproteus: i think i mean merging a git tree into a git-svn checkout23:16
Bovinityyeah, probably no23:16
paulproteusOh, I see. You should cherry-pick your git changes on top of the latest git-svn revision, and git svn dcommit.23:16
paulproteusSo that there's a linear path from the last git-svn commit that represents svn HEAD to the git commit you have (and then git svn dcommit's job is clear).23:17
paulproteusNote that this is effectively what "git svn rebase" does every time.23:17

mattlKresentPhresh: ?23:20
paulproteusI can help later in more detail (e.g., if I'm in person, or you give me a copy of your .git).23:20
KresentPhreshAnyway... I had a general question, thought maybe someone here could shed a light on the subject...23:20
KresentPhresh...Anyone know how Wikipedia finds funds to operate?23:20
mattlKresentPhresh: read their annual report.23:21
*** johndoigiii has quit IRC23:21
Bovinitypaulproteus: i'm thinking it's just a case of pulling a git-svn checkout into my working tree, and merging from there... or just do it the old fashioned way.23:22
paulproteusWith git-svn, "git merge" is almost always wrong.23:22
greg-gthere is also #wikipedia, with people who are more likely to know the answer23:22
paulproteusSince git svn doesn't know how to push multi-parent commits back to svn (since svn doesn't have that concept) and that's how git records "merge."23:23
KresentPhreshTrue, but that's about all I wonder about Wikipedia, my other issues are more general than that.23:23
KresentPhreshTrying to come up with a business idea off a free product, kind of tricky.23:23
paulproteusBut cherry-picking/rebasing your commits on top of a git svn-imported revision does make sense.23:23
greg-gKresentPhresh: that depends on the product, somewhat.23:26
KresentPhreshYep, but I don't intend to own the product since I want it to be a collaborative effort.23:27
KresentPhreshAn Operating System.23:27
greg-gOh, that is easy, see: RedHat, IBM, etc etc23:27
KresentPhreshYeah, it's a custom Linux system basically23:28
greg-gyep, that is what they do.23:28
mattlKresentPhresh: Linux. Not an operating system.23:28
KresentPhreshBut I'm not enough of a Linux Admin to build the entire system, so I need to be able to hire a couple of hands to help me work on the essentials23:28
KresentPhreshI'm aware23:28
KresentPhreshA traditional "OS" comes in the form of a distro, but I don't want to just make another distro.23:29
KresentPhreshSo I'm trying to design some sort of web-based collaboration system, some means of facilitating public development, kind of how anyone can edit Wikipedia articles, they too can shape large aspects of the system.23:30
KresentPhreshThanks for pointing me to that annual report, though, I hadn't considered that and it gave me a bit more information than just their revenue.23:34
