03:41
room mode changed to Private: only approved users may enter this room (this should only be used for moderation purposes)
room mode changed to Gallery: anyone may enter, but only approved users can talk
Now I am in
03:42
room mode changed to Public: anyone may enter and talk
Should work now
:P
Much more faster O.o
test
yes!
much faster
Here I am.
Sweet
03:43
And here...
I've killed hangouts
@NathanOsman let me show you what colours I was thinking would work well (with some colour highlights)
Are we all in here?
03:44
Yes.
(The font doesn't have to be that)
@RolandiXor Grayscale?
(That was our old favicon)
jrg seems to be missing
@NathanOsman grayscale, with highlights
I can open inkscape and show you what I mean
03:44
Sure.
There he is.
I think it would be cool - but I don't want to go with what I think only
(BTW, this is much smoother. No idea what Google messed up to make theirs so slow.)
jrg
jrg
I'm back
@jrg Welcome back:)
03:45
@NathanOsman using a plugin, at all.
jrg
jrg
Took me a bit because of cookies on mobile chrome
@NathanOsman what hasn't google messed up?
As Google, they should know that would never work.
So we discussed launching concurrently with 14.04?
Or maybe a day or two ahead... so people can follow us for the release announcement.
@NathanOsman I like this :)
03:46
Sounds great.
jrg
jrg
Depends on if we finish in time or not.
by the way 60 days till our domain expires...
So the timeline for that would be around late April.
jrg
jrg
If we do, great.
@NathanOsman I like that too
I am doing a very quick and dirty mockup in inkscape
(BTW, inkscape with GTK3 is so much smoother and faster to launch)
jrg
jrg
03:47
@Joshua: want to transfer it to me? Since I'm maintaining the rest of the site assets, I can do that.
(try it those of you who illustrate)
jrg
jrg
Or maybe I email you some money.
So... you guys better hope I am feeling generous on that day and I find it in my heart to pay for another year :=P
We're also switching to Digital Ocean later.
@jrg, no I really don't mind, I am just clowning....
I have been very blessed financially the last few months for reasons I can not share right now (don't worry nothing illegal)...
03:48
And here is the big idea: Juju.
So dollar a month is not going to kill me @jrg
JuJu \o/
jrg
jrg
@TheX OK. :)
Yes, there is work underway to have Digital Ocean as a provider for Juju.
So we could deploy using Juju directly to DO.
Thoughts?
What is Digital Ocean?
jrg
jrg
03:49
@Nathan right, I heard something about that.
We can do that.
@TheX Hosting provider
@TheX A cheap VPS provider./
jrg
jrg
Do something OMG! never did.
okay, what meting is going on here?
Oh,...
jrg
jrg
03:49
A open source nginx system. With a side of awesome django.
@TheX I actually plan to buy the domain when I am able
(From you that is)
@Portia We're administrators of 2buntu.
We're having a business meeting.
@RolandiXor what if I don't want to sell it? :=P
o.O
Then I will ask my friends to pay you a visit.
4
@Portia hungry?
03:50
@TheX Let the bidding begin! :P
Oh the aliens...crap...
jrg
jrg
Business meeting is a strong term. More of a planning for the future.
3
@TheX :)
Nope
Yeah, what @jrg said.
03:51
Oh boy... here they come...
jrg
jrg
Nathan: next topic?
Hint Private Hint :P
Okay, open sourcing the blog.
one quick question
regarding the design
03:51
Yea
What's it's name :P
Go ahead.
instead of the sprites we use for the share buttons, can we switch over to fontawesome?
@AmithKK what is who's name?
@TheX The engine
Oh...
03:52
Gives us a better choice of icons and stuff for other elements if need be ...
@nitstorm But do they have glyphs for G+, Twitter, etc.?
@NathanOsman yup
Oh, okay.
@AmithKK I don't know I just hand over the money when they tell me too...
jrg
jrg
Yes, they do. Might be worth exploring.
03:52
It's a possibility then.
This ties in with our next (and probably last) topic.
^--- our organization page
Currently the only thing there is our Android app.
Oh speaking of our andriod app...
I have some comments I would like to make about it later...
@nitstorm that would be great
@TheX It's also getting an overhaul.
03:54
@NathanOsman rough WIP mockup
@NathanOsman okay but beside that...
(not nearly all I have in mind)
@RolandiXor Cool. So that could easily be done in LESS, I suppose.
But I am working quick to make it useful
jrg
jrg
@Nathan I need to build a iOS app for practice. Can I build a 2buntu app once the API is "stable"?
03:54
Once we get the code up on GitHub, it will be easy to collaborate.
@jrg v1.1 is stable, but it will be superseded soon.
@jrg are you asking for permission or asking if it is possible?
So I will let you know when v1.2 is finalized.
@TheX He's asking if the API is stable, in essence.
jrg
jrg
@TheX permission once the new version is finalized.
Ok. Thanks. :)
I don't think you need permission though. You're staff :)
I vote to give him permission...
jrg
jrg
Its always good to let someone say "no, please don't do that". :)
That or the white background?
An iOS app would be cool though.
Even though iOS is the devil...
Then a WinPhone app too xD
03:56
I think @RolandiXor talked about an Ubuntu Touch app.
(I prefer a white background)
@NathanOsman Could you add us all as members please?
@RolandiXor My vote goes for white.
But it might be a way to reach more non traditional readers
@nitstorm To the GitHub organization?
03:57
@NathanOsman yeah I plan to write one so I can get the hang of QML and the Ubuntu SDK.
@NathanOsman yup
That would be so awesome.
aka: iOS users...
@nitstorm What's your username on GitHub?
@NathanOsman nitstorm
03:57
@NathanOsman BTW, please enable immersive mode on the 2buntu aoo?
Is there a lit of the "staff/administrators"?
@AmithKK on the Android app?
jrg
jrg
@Nathan can you add me to GH as well? "jrgifford"
@NathanOsman yeah
03:58
brb I have to sort some things for tomorrow
uh...
@jrg I did...
Do I have a github account?
jrg
jrg
Thanks!
Do you?
03:59
lol I thought I did...
jrg
jrg
(I didn't see that on the mobile view)
But what I thought it was, is not workign...
@NathanOsman amithkk
If you do, give me the username and I'll add you.
Thanks @NathanOsman :) Got it :)
04:00
@AmithKK You can still submit pull requests even without membership.
that raises a question for me
The workflow for the project
If we want to submit a commit, should we fork and edit and submit a pull request
Well, technically, all owners have commit access themselves. But that's a good question. We should decide on the proper workflow.
@nitstorm That would be better
04:01
For the sake of keeping things organized, we should probably make changes as pull requests.
jrg
jrg
I suggest the following: nobody merges in their own, non-critical changes.
my username is jpbell
@jrg: Unless it is an emergency.
on github
Okay.
@TheX Done.
jrg
jrg
04:03
@Nathan that's what in saying.
Thanks
this leads me to the next question, so we'll have meta-stable checkpoints from where we can fork and submit pull requests to before the next feature is added or something?
jrg
jrg
Everything is done through pill requests unless requires because omg the site is down because we didn't define the right database connection number.
Features should be added in branches.
jrg
jrg
@nitstorm probably some sort of a discourse style release schedule, where when something is deployed its a release.
04:04
Releases will be like 2013.16.02.0x
@jrg sorry to sound ignorant, but I have no clue what discourse is :P
If we are adding a feature that is going to break a bunch of stuff, we'll make an announcement ahead of time so people avoid those sections of code until the change is merged in.
@NathanOsman Nice :D
jrg
jrg
@nitstorm forums by the people who started stack exchange. Suitably fantastic.
04:05
Discourse is cool
Anyway, as we close... are there any questions?
I have a statment.
statement
of sorts
(We can continue the discussion afterwards.)
@TheX Sure.
04:06
@NathanOsman @jrg : Thanks, looking into how their gh thingy..
Okay... so as everyone should know, we use google apps to provide team members a email address..
and other various tools...
I don't know how much they get used...
Should we move email to our server and manage it?
but today I made some changes to and handed out some premissions...
04:07
Is that what you're asking?
jrg
jrg
I haven't checked mine in forever.
No...
What are you asking?
The only one I have is [email protected].
jrg
jrg
Nathan: ew. Running your own mail server is not what I want to do for the rest of my life. :p
windows live mail offers upto 50 free accounts on your domain...
so just saying..
04:08
I just wanted to let you know that I have given James, and Roland the ability to add-remove, reset passwords and a few other things in regards to accounts...
nope :P
jrg
jrg
Google Apps is free for us.
@jrg I did it for quickmediasolutions.com. Even got a signed SSL cert for secure IMAP access.
oh cool :)
@nitstorm I should smack you for even suggesting that :=P
jrg
jrg
04:08
@TheX fantastic.
We have 50 accounts available...
@TheX he he he :P
Can I make a polite request?
Could I please have access to the DNS tools?
Also, if you guys know of any team members that need or would like an account let one of the three of us know...
I hate bothering everyone every time a new subdomain needs to get added or removed.
04:10
what do you mean by the dns tools?
Well, I can't add or edit DNS records for 2buntu.com.
@NathanOsman Yes you can
:P
Will I now get notifications if a post is "Ready for publishing" ? If not, can I have access to that please?
@nitstorm Which email address would you like to use for that?
I really don't like the "one person has the keys to the kingdom" approach as far as the domain goes...
but I have other domains tied to the account...
04:11
@NathanOsman I'll ping you on private, don't want my stupid email showing up on google search results :P
@NathanOsman Sent it to you. Look in hangouts
jrg
jrg
(Hey guys, I need to go now. Thanks for the discussion, and I'll talk to Roland about how to put things together for the report. Anything else?)
@TheX Oh, I don't expect your name and password or anything. But do you have access?
Have a good weekend @jrg
04:12
@TheX how about CloudFlare? U can edit records there?
Yes.
I thought everything was pointed to cloudflare.
Oh no I don't have access to cloud flare
@nitstorm yes
@jrg Nope. Thanks for attending.
jrg
jrg
04:12
Everything is pointed to cloud flare
@jrg Bye bye jrg :)
is that how it works now? I don't remember lol
Meeting is officially adjourned.
Continue with discussion off the record...
jrg
jrg
And Amith has sent the username and password over a few times to different people.
I only log in when I have too... which is like never (which is a good thing, that means everything works like it should)
04:13
@AmithKK sorry wasn't supposed to add the question mark at the end...
jrg
jrg
Bye all!
Thanks again.
bye bye :)
04:14
Okay now that the minors are gone we can talk about whatever we want...
@NathanOsman you got it?
j/k....
@AmithKK Yes.
Okay so...
@TheX [cough] Amith [cough]
04:14
The 2buntu app...
Oh shoot I forgot about @AmithKK
I had the idea to put it up on the amazon app store...
brb
@nitstorm: You are set to receive administration emails now.
@NathanOsman Thanks :)
Okay sorry, was watching the olympics,,,
Anyways...
04:17
LOL :P
So I was going to put the 2buntu app on the app store...
amazon app store...
but I started going through the process...
and the app got approved and all that stuff...
then I had to fill out some tax forms...
but I didn't know what I was doing so I backed out...
because I didn't want to break my life...
jrg
jrg
@TheX if its easiest, I can investigate that. Having a company is occasionally useful.
Just assign everything on trello
@TheX I thought it was free?
@NathanOsman it is free...
It's an open-source app and I give you permission to distribute it.
Does that help?
04:19
@NathanOsman but they wanted me to fill out some tax information "in case of profit"
Which I know there wouldn't be any profit...
but I don't know how i prove that on my taxes...
or whatever...
I don't know it was weird and used a bunch of legal language that I didn't understand...
So I didn't do it.
Yeah, it's okay. I doubt too many of our users use Amazon.
The Play store is much much more popular.
but I did install the APK on my kind and it worked well...
how about we create a small poll widget
04:21
@nitstorm I can show you an example of what I did on my website. One sec.
that cant take votes from time to time on diff thing from our visitors?
Anyways, would it be possible to distribute the APK via our webpage?
@TheX Absolutely, go ahead. I'll add it somewhere.
Cool.
Let me know where you stick it.
04:23
I might just throw it in as a static file.
(Rather than creating a Django app to keep track of it.)
I don't care how you do it :-P just make it happen soldier! :=P
@NathanOsman Nice :) Looks good :)
Are polls really that useful though?
(I'm just asking honestly, since the ones I've seen tend to be "everyone pick your favorite x").
@NathanOsman only if the people that take them are useful...
the results must be viewed with a "lens of truth"...
or, we could just pop into analytics and take a look at the devices ppl are accessing our site from or their Operating Systems.. would give us a rough idea as to what percentage of our users might find an Amazon app useful
04:29
@nitstorm: Do you have access to our Google Analytics page?
@NathanOsman nope...
That shall be immediately fixed.
he he :P Thanks :)
can I have access too?
Sure. What's your Gmail address?
04:32
I'll send it to you in hangouts
@NathanOsman Got it :) Thanks :)
@TheX: Done.
We should really maintain a list of all our admins and their email addresses and other handles etc...
Thanik you.
@nitstorm I could create a private Google Doc for that.
04:35
@NathanOsman did you set all that up?
@TheX You should have an email for a folder on Google Docs.
just got it
We'll keep our policy documents in there.
Thanks @NathanOsman :) Got it as well :)
Okay I guess I have to go now...
04:38
Thanks for coming.
Just requested access from a different account on the folder.. Please accept it :)
Bye Josh :) see ya :)
no problem
catch ya later
Just took a look at the analytics and there seem to be no viewers from Kindle devices.. But I am not sure, one of the segments is Android with Device Branding not set...
Weird... since I have a Kindle.
there is also another segment with both browser and device branding as "not set"
maybe it falls in that category?
04:44
Possibly.
hmmm...
I gotta run now.
Thanks everyone for attending.
Thanks Nathan :) C ya :)
u'll take care of deleting this room?
I don't know how to do that :P
@nitstorm You cant
@AmithKK Oh lol :P
04:53
Sadly only 10% of our users return
oh...
Okies, I am taking off as well, chores beckon, catch ya laters! Cheers!
boring room
05:19
@Portia not as boring as this message.
@all sorry for my departure - had to do some things.
Wow. I haven't seen TheX and nitstorm in ages!
I know
I am heading off
hi @Seth, @AvinashRaj
@RolandiXor Hey! Just checking the new room out.
05:42
me also
