nkinkadenathany: Do we have any policy on the use of national currency symbols for the NC term on the Deeds?17:50
nkinkadeThe code is there to do the switching, and does so in a few cases.17:50
nathanynkinkade: not a policy, exactly; we've done euro and yen17:50
nkinkadeCC GT would like to have the Quetzal symbol there instead of the $.17:50
nathanymlinksva: you around?17:51
nkinkadeRenata says they have the image made up already.  If they provide an adequate image, is this something you would have a problem with me implementing for them?17:51
nkinkadenathany: Where are you?17:51
nathanyboston17:51
nathanynkinkade: i'd rather punt on this until we decide on a more blanket policy17:53
nathanysince there is some added complexity (minimal, but existing)17:53
nathanyi'll email you and ML now -- i'd just like to get his input since the euro/yen thing happened before I was cto17:53
nkinkadeThe code seems pretty straight-forward in cc.engine/cc/engine/licenses/standard.py, but I definitely wanted to get your input before I promised anything.17:54
Bovinitynkinkade: link to the Quetzal?17:55
*** BjornW has quit IRC17:55
nkinkadeBovinity: She just sent it to me, let me look.17:55
nkinkadeIt's going to need some work to make it like the others.17:56
nathanynkinkade: just sent the email; if mlinksva is +1 I'm fine with it17:58
nathanybtw, Bovinity / nkinkade, i think we could simplify it further by making different CSS classes for jurisdictions17:58
nathanyif they have a special symbol we just add it to the CSS and override the symbol17:58
nathany(ie, every non-commercial block gets a "xx-nc" class where xx is the jurisdiction)17:59
Bovinitynathany: that's already doable, as far as CSS goes18:00
nkinkadeBovinity: She had send me a PNG, which I'll forward to you, but I just asked her for any original Photoshop or GIMP data.18:00
Bovinitythe .nc class specifies the NC icon as a background image. so localisation in the css wouldn't be hard18:00
nathanywouldn't we just need to add another class that overrode the .nc background?18:01
Bovinityyep18:01
nathanyright, that's what i meant18:01
*** mlinksva has quit IRC18:04
Bovinitywell18:06
Bovinitythat sure is a pretty icon18:06
* Bovinity has been foiled by the coffee machine, again.18:07

paulproteusHowdy Steren.20:08
nkinkadeBovinity: Can you do anything with an image made in some program called Freehand?20:09
Bovinitynkinkade: yes20:09
nkinkadeI'll send the CC Guatemala stuff to you then.20:09
Bovinityok20:09
SterenHey paulproteus, my last git move wasn't so smart too. I just wanted to add a new file, but committed more than that. And now if I try to revert, there is some submodule issue :( It's my last commit on the acawiki branch20:11
paulproteusSteren, Aww, sad.20:11
paulproteusLet's see.20:11
Bovinitygit commit -a = often bad! :/20:15
SterenBovinity: yes, but in fact I've been doing this since the begening20:16
paulproteusSteren, Hah!20:18
paulproteusYou removed the submodule and replaced it with the actual files.20:19
Sterenpaulproteus: yes, I feared that, but as Bovinity  said, I only did a commit -a as usual20:20
paulproteusMaybe you didn't git submodule init or something in this checkout?20:20
Sterenyes I think so20:21
paulproteusThe easiest thing to do, IMHO, is to (1) reset the remote branch to throw away the last commit, then (2) do a fresh clone, and (3) more carefully add your changes.20:21
paulproteusWe could also fix your existing clone, which wouldn't be *too* hard either.20:22
Sterenok I'll restart again, I don't mind.20:22
paulproteusOkay, cool.20:23
Sterenpaulproteus: So to clone and start my acawiki branch from cc_skeleton, do I need to deal with the submodules ?20:23
paulproteusSteren, Er, I don't suggest you totally restart your acawiki branch.20:24
paulproteusI suggest we just update code.creativecommons.org to throw away your *most recent* commit.20:24
paulproteusBut yes, I suggest you use submodules everywhere, since cc_skeleton uses them.20:25
Sterenok20:25
paulproteusYou're welcome to "unwind" that remote branch by one commit yourself if you're comfortable doing that.20:26
paulproteusI have a clone of the repo, so you can't mess anything up too bad; I can just fix it if you do.20:27
SterenCan you fix it and copy/paste here the commend you use ?20:27
paulproteusOkay, sure.20:27
paulproteusnkinkade, ping20:33
nkinkadepaulproteus: Hi.20:35
paulproteusnkinkade, We have this "spare" 500G external Seagate disk that was intended for Virginia to use for backups.20:35
paulproteusWe also have 110G free on the / disk in the backups machine.20:36
paulproteusI'm going to move Ani's Time Machine backup off the 1TB disk.  Her full backup seems to take up about 22GiB.20:36
paulproteusThere are 280GiB free on /media/backups.20:37
nkinkadepaulproteus: That seems like a reasonable amount of space to me.20:37
paulproteusI'd rather not use the external drive unless we have to, so my question is - where should I move everyone's Time Machining onto, in preparation for announcing Time Machine instructions.20:37
nkinkadeI think /media/backups just have a4, and some archival stuff for apps, a2, and a3.20:37
nkinkadepaulproteus: /media/backups is probably fine, as I've been intending to jam most of the backups on the 1T disk.20:38
*** tvol has joined #CC20:39

paulproteusSteren, http://pastebin.com/f118fc7bc20:41
Sterenpaulproteus: great!20:41
Sterennkinkade: I just wanted to ask, is the acawiki database backed up somewhere every night ?20:42
BovinitySteren: is the acawiki checkout on a8 correct and up to date?20:50
SterenBovinity: it isn't, in fact I'm currently working with it, and since I merged the new mediawiki verison, there are problems on the website20:52
BovinitySteren: ok20:53
Bovinitytime for lunch then.20:53
nkinkadeSteren: Yes, all the databases are backed up.20:54
nkinkadeWhy?  Do you need last nights snapshot? :-)20:54
Sterennkinkade: no no, just to know if I have to worry about making database backups20:55
nkinkadeSteren: The database is backed up each night and at any given time we can retrieve one that is up to a week old ... after than they drop off the face of the earth.20:56

nathanynkinkade: quick question21:13
nkinkadenathany: Shoot.21:13
nathanythe code for support.cc.org that generates the number for the thermometer21:13
nathanyis it just grabbing all completed contributions from a starting point?21:13
nathanywer\21:14
nkinkadenathany: I believe that may be the case.21:14
nathanywe're going to do registration for the techsummit with civicrm and will need to exclude those from the thermometer21:14
*** Steren has joined #cc21:14
nathanyi think we can just do that by contribution type21:14
nkinkadeWe're digging our CiviCRM hole deeper, I see.21:14
nkinkade;-)21:14
Bovinityuh oh21:14
nathany(I created a new one for registrations, id = 621:15
nathanyheh21:15
nathanyyes21:15
nkinkadenathany: I don't see why that should be a problem.21:15
nkinkadeLet me double check the script.21:15
nathanythanks21:15
nathanyi'll brb21:15
nkinkadeI think I only fixed something about it a while ago, but someone else wrote it.21:15
* paulproteus thinks he may have.21:16
*** stevel has quit IRC21:16
nathanynkinkade: that's correct21:18
nathanypaulproteus: nope, civic action wrote it21:18
paulproteusOH, that end of the code.  Right.21:18
nathanynkinkade: if you can point me to the file on a9 that handles that URL, i can investigate, too21:19
nkinkadenathany: I was just going to look for it myself. :-)21:19
nathany:)21:19
*** is4 has quit IRC21:27
nkinkade nathany:   a5:/var/www/creativecommons.org/therm_total/total.py21:34
nkinkadeIt's part of the ccidonor module.21:34
nathanyuh, not that one21:34
nathanythat just polls the URL21:34
nathanyi mean the thing that actually generates the content @ the URL21:34
nkinkadeThe ccidonor module.21:35
nkinkadeIt's in the modules directory, along with civicrm.21:36
nathanyok21:36
nathanybut i thought you had hacked on it recently to make it return the total, not just a list of donatoins21:37
nathanythat's what i was asking about... filtering those out by contribution type21:37
nkinkadenathany: Like I was saying earlier, I don't see why that shouldn't be possible, if not ridiculously easy.21:41
nathanygood, can you do it, please? :)21:41
nkinkadenathany: So just exclude contribution page id 6 and that's all for now?21:42
nathanynot contribution page21:42
nathanycontribution type21:42
*** stevel_ has quit IRC21:42
nkinkadeOkay.21:42
nathanyas a sanity check we should be able to add that filter and have the reported total remain the same (since we haven't had any contributions from that yet)21:42
nathanythank you21:43

nkinkadeI might get dumped offline here in a while.  The electricity is supposed to be out in the building from 4pm to 8pm tonight for some major maintenance.  It hasn't gone off yet, but it could at any moment I suppose..21:46
*** sama has quit IRC21:55
SterenThat's weird, since the new acawiki set up, everything seams protected from editing, even if the page is not protected. I tried disabling all extension, its the same. Does someone have an idea ?21:59
* paulproteus shakes his head22:01
nkinkadenathany: Done.22:02
nathanynkinkade: excellent, thanks22:02
nkinkadenathany: Bovinity: How frequently is the therm updates?22:03
nathanyevery 5 min22:03
nkinkade(updated).22:03
Bovinityoh, i thought it was slower than that22:03
Bovinitygood to know22:04
BovinitySteren: safe for me to work on the acawiki skin now?22:05
SterenBovinity: yes I think so, but the wiki is still "frozen" I can't figure out why22:09
SterenBovinity: you can use the brand new mediawiki.git branch22:09
nathanySteren: any chance it's a permissions issue? (just a thought, but a lame one)22:10
nathany(file system permissions, that is)22:10
Sterennathany: I've think about it, but since pages are stored in the database, I don't see what permission to grant to what22:10
nathanyright22:10
Bovinityfyi, in account creation "This reCAPTCHA key isn't authorized for the given domain. More info  "22:14
BovinitySteren: ^^22:14
paulproteusSteren, re: recaptcha: Create a key for the "domain" called "org," and use "localhost.creativecommons.org" if you're working on localhost.22:15
paulproteus(Yes, "org" works as a domain, and then reCAPTCHA allows its use anywhere that's dot-org.  That's how the freeculture.org recaptcha keys work.)22:15
Bovinityand just as i thought, i can't create a character without it22:15
SterenBovinity: I could create a account whitout any problem on the server, are you trying on localhost ?22:16
BovinitySteren: o22:16
BovinitySteren: i'm trying on acawiki.org22:16
Sterenok I'll follow what paulproteus told22:16
Bovinityi guess i'm living in the future22:17
Bovinityacawiki.cc.org is the place to be.22:17
*** nathany has quit IRC22:17
SterenBovinity: and you should know that I lost some images from the pages. I forgot to save them before doing some stupid moves22:18
BovinitySteren: i noticed22:18
Bovinityi think i recall what hte missing things are though22:19
Bovinitywtf, all my technology except google calendar has updated its clock automatically22:21
Sterenpaulproteus: where should I add this domain key to recaptcha ?22:22
nkinkadeSteren: In the LocalSettings.php file.22:24
* paulproteus nods in nkinkade's generatl direction22:25
nkinkade$recaptcha_public_key  and $recaptcha_private_key22:25
paulproteuslol! re: Cthuugle Calendar22:25
nkinkadeSteren: Those are the two variables you need to set, and you should have those 2 keys in hand already.22:26
Sterennkinkade: well, in fact I don't have them in hands, what account should I use to connect to their website ?22:30
Sterenmy account ?22:30
paulproteusOnce you generate a .org key with whatever account, you just plain win.22:31
paulproteusSo I say sure, use your own account.22:31
nkinkadeSteren: Like paulproteus says, anyone can create an account at recaptcha.net.22:33
nkinkadeJust make one for yourself and then you can go about generating keys for whatever you like.  I think make keys for 15 or so domains, maybe 14.  I forget.22:34
SterenWell, I'm going to bed. So for the moment acawiki is fully up to date, every feature request from the beta is done. Except that the wiki is still frozen. I'll investigate this tomorrow.22:44
Bovinityi'm going to try and get the skin changes done by the end of day22:44
*** [mharrison] has quit IRC22:45

paulproteusCiao Steren!22:50
*** Steren has quit IRC22:51
nkinkadeBovinity: What did you make, if anything, if that Freehand icon from CC GT?23:27
nkinkade(And you get points if you say either "broach" or "paper airplane," by the way.23:27
nkinkade)23:27
paulproteus(-:23:29
paulproteusI thought it was spelled brooch, though.23:29
nkinkadeIt could be either way, I believe.23:30
nkinkadeBut maybe you are right.  Maybe "broach" is a verb only.23:30
paulproteus"A brooch (also known in ancient times as a fibula, and not to be confused with broach)" write Wikipedians at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooch .23:30
paulproteusBut http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/broach has it your way.23:30
paulproteusBattle of the secondary sources!23:30
nkinkadeAnd I think that Princeton's Wordnet has the pin-meaning at "broach" too.23:32
greg-gdamn, Obama is funny, goatse'ing everyone: http://www.barackobama.com/splash/volunteer.html23:32
nkinkadeAnd paulproteus, on that same word note, I question your spelling of Macademia.23:34
nkinkadeI feel that it is Macadamia.23:34
paulproteusI believe you alone are correct on this issue.23:34
nkinkadegreg-g: Help.  What is up with this visual bell in Intrepid Ibex.23:35
nkinkadeSince you've been using for a while I figured you might have a fast answer.23:35
paulproteusgreg-g's been a user for a long time.23:35
nkinkadeusing _it_, that is.23:35
paulproteusgreg-g, That's pretty awesome re: goatse.23:36
greg-gnkinkade: ummm, what visual bell?23:36
nkinkadeIt's horrifying.  And xset doesn't seem to make it go away.23:36
paulproteusnkinkade, System->Preferences->Sounds has the config maybe?23:36
nkinkadegreg-g:  For example, in this pidgin window if I hit the backspace key and there is nothing to erase, it flashes the screen AND beeps.  paulproteus, thanks.  Let me check.23:37
greg-geek, that is nasty23:37
greg-gI don't have that23:37
greg-gI did an upgrade from Hardy though, sometimes fun new "features" like that don't appear unless it is a fresh install23:38
nkinkadeMine was an upgrade too.23:38
greg-gwhat other programs does it do that in?23:38
nkinkadeAnd it wasn't doing this before, so I assume it's something related to the upgrade.23:38
nkinkadeIt seems to do it in every application, but it's most annoying in vim.23:38
greg-gpaulproteus: I can't take credit for finding it, @hugh on identica posted it23:39
nkinkadeBecause I hit lots of keys in vim that I don't need to and so the screen flashes to the point of not being able to edit a document.23:39
greg-gI have no idea, nkinkade23:39
* paulproteus thinks he has the answer and awaits nkinkade's feedback.23:39
nkinkadeI don't see that anything in there would fix this paulproteus.23:41
paulproteusThere's a System bell tab, no?23:41
paulproteusAnd you can choose visual or loud or none?23:41
nkinkadeI don't have such a tab.23:42
nkinkadeI just have "Devices" and "Sounds"23:42
paulproteusI'm on Debian.23:42
nkinkadeAnd in the "Sounds" tab everything is unchecked.23:42
paulproteusI admit.23:42
nkinkade(and it was before)23:42
nkinkadeI'll figure it out eventually.23:42
nkinkadexset normally handles this, I thought.23:43
nkinkadeLike "xset b off" or something to that effect.23:43
paulproteusYa.23:43
nkinkadeHey, I just took my own advice and it half worked.23:43
nkinkadeThe beep is gone, but the visual bell is still there.  Maybe xset will fix the other half, too.23:44
