pyrakand for some reason it's taken me more than 2 hours to apply a fix00:18
pyrakbut it should be back up by mid-day tomorrow00:18

johndoigiiimecredis: hey man, saw that you pinged me earlier, was it anything dire?01:25
mecredisno not at all01:25
mecredisjust checking in01:25
johndoigiiiohh okay cool01:26
mecredislots of monday triage after the open video conf01:26
mecrediswanted to see what was on your plate01:26
johndoigiiiahh thats what mondays are good for01:26
mecredisyep01:26
johndoigiiiuhm, I've actually just started working on the actual donation pieces of the app01:27
johndoigiiiso last week I wrapped up most of the work on the organization and free accounts, and am now waiting on a code-review of sorts from nathan01:27
johndoigiiihttps://staging.creativecommons.net is actually running the new stuff, so click "Join" then "Donate Later" then follow the steps and you should be able to create a free acount01:28
*** sympodius has joined #cc01:28
* mecredis excitedly clicks01:29
johndoigiiimake you sure you change the url in the email to "staging"01:30
mecredisyep01:31
mecredisjust did that01:31
mecredisgreat01:31
mecredisideally01:31
mecrediswe could cut down a step here or there01:31
mecredismaybe show the profile first01:32
mecredisand add [edit] stuff01:32
mecredisso people aren't presented with just another form01:32
mecredisjust a thought, don't implement it yet01:32
johndoigiiiyeah, ideally that would be much better, I did it this way because it would behave closer to how we currently handle the donating users01:34
johndoigiiiand would require less code to start off with01:34
mecredisgot it01:35
johndoigiiibut we could certainly have all of the information on a single page01:35
johndoigiiidefinitely possible01:35
mecredisyeah, I mean I think its important to show people01:35
mecredishey, you got an account now01:35
mecredisand let them fill out other details later01:35
*** sympodius has quit IRC01:35
johndoigiiiohh okay, nm I misunderstood01:36
johndoigiiiyeah well that would be very simple to do then01:36
mecredisthe tricky part01:36
johndoigiiiI thought you meant a single form with all of the information01:36
mecredisis getting them to choose a password01:36
mecredishrm01:37
mecredisI like just first & last name01:37
mecredisand password01:37
johndoigiiiokay cool01:37
mecrediserr, e-mail01:37
mecredisand then they get the conf e-mail01:37
johndoigiiithats the easiest way01:37
mecredisbut then01:37
mecrediswhen they click on the conf link01:37
mecredisi think they should be shown a profile01:38
johndoigiiiohh yeah01:38
mecrediswith their name01:38
mecredisand thats it01:38
mecredisand then like [edit] sections01:38
mecrediswe have to assume most people will be registering for donate or webcitation features01:38
*** tim_hwang has quit IRC01:38
johndoigiiiyes01:38
mecredisso that functionality should be available immediately01:38
mecredisinstead of more general profile information01:39
mecredismaybe this is nitpicky01:39
mecredisbut can we put the first name and last name01:39
mecredison one line01:39
mecredisand maybe default the value of the text box01:40
mecrediswith First Name, ewtc.01:40
mecredisthese are less substantial changes01:40
mecredisthe functionality is there01:40
mecredisso good work01:42
mecredis:)01:42
johndoigiiihttps://staging.creativecommons.net/cc/01:42
johndoigiiinothing special there, but the app is ready to support distinctions between individuals and organizations now01:42
mecredisnice01:43
mecrediswe should add it in the "active" section01:43
mecredisso its01:43
mecredis"Active Organization"01:43
mecredisthough I'm curious01:43
mecredisif we need active anymore01:43
mecredis"Organizational Account" might suffice01:43
johndoigiiiyeah I had that in there but removed it in suspicions of what the exact terminology should be01:44
johndoigiiiyeah Active will seem to be less meaningful now01:44
mecredisright, we've essentially switched active to premium01:44
johndoigiiiyes01:44
mecredisso it might be worth switching that on staging01:44
*** sympodius1 has quit IRC01:45
johndoigiiiokay, so "Premium Account" as well?01:45
mecredisyeah, so it should be "(Free / Premium / Organizational) Account" for now01:47
*** stevel has joined #cc01:49
johndoigiiicool01:50
*** sympodius has joined #cc02:00
johndoigiiiso fred, what happens if someone decides their fundraising goal is a bit ambitious and want to lower their goal?02:05
mecredisgood question02:05
mecrediswe don't want to put a ceiling on them02:05
mecredisthats too low02:05
mecredisso like $10k should maybe be the highest02:05
mecredisif its over02:05
mecrediswe should refer them to melissa02:05
mecredisbut say someone chooses 5k and wants to put it down to 3k?02:06
mecredisis it worth letting premium accounts do that02:06
mecredisand not free accounts?02:06
mecredisit seems so minor02:06
mecredisbut we "trust" premium accounts more02:06
mecredisprobably not02:07
mecredisI don't think we should let them02:07
mecredisturn it down02:07
mecredisbut maybe up?02:07
mecredishahah02:07
johndoigiiihaha, yeah I guess what I am really wondering is whether or not we should keep a history of their goal changes02:08
mecredisI like the idea of only letting it go up02:09
mecredisbutttttt02:09
mecredisto the point of recording the history of their hanges02:09
mecredisI think it might be a good idea02:10
mecredisto plan for this kind of functionality02:10
johndoigiiiyeah02:10
mecredishow much more work is it?02:10
johndoigiiiuhm, i'd say itd be an insignificant amount02:11
mecredisk02:11
mecredisbut yeah, I'd say build it so that it can be tracked02:12
mecredisbut let's not plan on exposing the functionality until we start testing it02:13

mecredisoops, that doesn't appear to be on there18:17
mecrediswell, let me know when / where I should upload it18:17
*** oshani has quit IRC18:26
pyrakmecredis, does cc have a blip channel?18:27
mecredisyeah, we do18:27
mecredisthough do they take mp3 / ogg?18:27
pyrakmecredis, think so...18:28
mecredisneat, will try it18:28
nkinkademecredis: Do you still need something with regard to that MP3?18:29
mecredisI think it might be good to host it on mirrors18:30
mecredisbut I only have access to a718:30
mecrediswhich doesn't seem to have mirrs on it18:30
nkinkadea8 hosts mirrors.18:30
mecredisgot it18:30
mecrediswill my keys work there?18:30
nkinkadeI can give you an account.18:30
mecredisthanks18:30
nkinkadeWhat's your login on a7?18:30
mecredisfred18:30
mecredisif you could just copy it over18:30
mecredisthat'd be easietst, I think18:31
Bovinitymecredis: archive.org ...?18:31
*** jgay has quit IRC18:32
mecredissure18:32
mecredisI guess we don't really have a policy18:32
mecredisbut archive.org seems like a good idea too18:32
Bovinityi thought archive was our loose unwritten policy18:32
mecredisgot it18:32
Bovinitythey autoconvert anyway, so it's most convenient18:32
mecredisyeah18:33
Bovinitywe should have a page somewhere that collects all our archive uploads though. we've got a bunch of audio that isn't noted anywhere, i think18:33
mecredishttp://teamspace.creativecommons.org/Web_Accounts#archive.org18:33
mecredisbut yeah18:33
nkinkademecredis: Try a8.18:35
nkinkadeYou're password is at ~/pw18:35
mecredisthanks18:35
nkinkadeChange it then delete that file.18:35
mecredisdone, thanks nkinkade18:36
nkinkadeCool.  You're in the group users, which has write access to most of mirrors.18:37

balleynewhat's the difference between a retired and deprecated CC license? (johndoigiii, or anyone who knows?)20:40
balleyneboth the sampling and DevNations licenses are listed as deprecated, but only the DevNations license contains a notice that it's been retired20:41
johndoigiiiyes, have you visited this page?20:41
johndoigiiihttp://creativecommons.org/retiredlicenses20:41
balleyneyeah, that's what I'm looking at20:42
balleyneI guess the more important question: should I not offer Sampling licenses as an option then?20:43
johndoigiiino, I would focus on the 6 core licenses, PD, and CC020:44
balleyneok20:44
balleynethat makes sense -- I was confused because the Sampling Licenses are still available through the API, and they don't seem to contain the same retired notice as the DevNations20:45
johndoigiiisweet, so how's the module coming along?20:45
balleyneas for CC0, doesn't seem like that's available through the API either?20:45
johndoigiiino it isn't20:46
balleyneok20:46
johndoigiiiI think it is exposed in the PartnerInterface though20:46
balleynemodule is coming along well! been making some big changes lately, and I think I'm on track for a 1.0 release, hopefully next week20:47
balleyneI'll probably leave it as a beta or release candidate on drupal.org for a bit though20:48
johndoigiiiThis could be an easy alternative to having the hard code support for CC0 http://creativecommons.org/license/zero/partner?lang=en&partner={partner}&exit_url={exit_url}&license_code=publicdomain&stylesheet={stylesheet}20:48
johndoigiiiballeyne: awesome!20:48
balleynecool, thanks -- just looking at the partner interface now, that makes sense20:49
balleyne:)20:49
johndoigiiiit won't feel as native as hooking directly into drupal admin interface but it'd be a quick and easy add-in20:51
balleyneok, cool20:51
balleyneI've got a few phase II ideas too, but I'll have to figure out which are actually feasible given the time limits20:51
johndoigiiicool, feel free to shoot me any questions20:55
balleynejohndoigiii, I could use a little clarification now on one thing21:01
johndoigiiisure21:01
balleyneaccording to creativecommons.org/publicdomain, seems like... CC0 is recommended if you're the rights hold and want to release your work into the PD, whereas the PD Certification is more about asserting that something *already is* in the PD -- is that correct?21:02
balleyneholder*21:03
johndoigiiiyes, CC0 is intended for works not already in PD21:05
balleyneok, thanks :)21:05
johndoigiiiPD is more about "certifying" that a work is in the public domain21:06
johndoigiiiCC0 is about dedicating works to the public domain (e.g. 'releasing')21:07
balleyneright, makes sense21:07
johndoigiiicool21:07
