Stack Exchange

ToddersLegrande has added Alex M. to the list of this room's owners.

Alex M.

do we invite people from the main chat?

ToddersLegrande

If you want

Alex M.

I'll log in to trello once I end my work day

ToddersLegrande

np

user4704

16:06

Did you ever get in touch with a SE community person about using the name?

ToddersLegrande

Not personally. Sent an email to SE Team and got a very generic message back

Aidan Mueller

What is this room for?

ToddersLegrande

> Basically, you can't use the logo or name in a way that would cause readers to think the page was operated or authorized by Stack Exchange, Inc. You can use the logo and name when referring directly to the site.

Hope this helps,
-the Stack Exchange Team

Didn't answer any questions I asked such as "where does our use case fall?"

Alex M.

@JoshPetrie what todders said

ToddersLegrande

@AidanMueller Designing and developing tools to aid with hosting game jams

user4704

16:08

Yeah that sounds super generic.

Alex M.

so to avoid the problem, we're starting with our own name

user4704

If I see GraceNote I'll ask.

Aidan Mueller

@ToddersLegrande Could you give me an example?

ToddersLegrande

In either case we are working on the tools. It's just a matter of if we end up hosting jams with or without the GDSE name

Aidan Mueller

@ToddersLegrande Do you mean tools for things like content generation?

ToddersLegrande

16:10

For running and participating in a game jam

For example, the first iteration I am working on reproducing the functionality we have with using Meta for jams - basically people being able to submit games and vote on them and then having a winner declared

gamejammed.com/gdsespring2014

Thanks @JoshPetrie

We've decided that its most likely the spring jam will continue using SE / Meta like that past ones have been

New Trello URL - trello.com/b/2X2MbiRa/road-map

Apparently I didn't create it under the org I thought I had.

Lasse

17:22

Looks nice so far

John McDonald

17:50

Cool

Grey

cool

ToddersLegrande

18:13

cool

I'll be adding more stuff to the Trello board... if anyone wants to participate just ping me with your username and I'll send an invite

todders is left

in Game Development, Mar 7 at 21:03, by Alex M.

be afraid, todders

in Game Development, Mar 7 at 21:03, by Alex M.

BE VERY AFRAID

I have warned you, Todders

or should I say... TYLER?

ToddersLegrande

haha

It's pretty easy to hunt me down

Alex M.

the only reason I ever started making jams here

was to get in this situation right here

and find out your true identity

ToddersLegrande

Well you could have just asked

Or you know... googled

Alex M.

I like it rough

John McDonald

pretty sure anyone could find out my mailing address with a google search or two

Lasse

19:19

Everyone already knows my first name

Alex M.

everyone knows my full name

ToddersLegrande

Seems you can find my Linked In profile just by my name + Wisconsin

so from there its just a matter of time

Basically if anyone has a vendetta against me I'm screwed

Lasse

I'm safe, since if someone found out my street address, they would have hard time getting here since it's in middle of nowhere

John McDonald

Cool. Stack Exchange is an OAuth provider: api.stackexchange.com/docs/authentication

Alex M.

no, you're safe because nobody is crazy enough to travel to Finland

just to find you

... which is what you said

why did I read it differently

ToddersLegrande

19:22

@JohnMcDonald so we could "Log in via StackExchange"

Lasse

@JohnMcDonald That helps with the login stuff nicely

John McDonald

What that means is that technically, people could set up websites to use their Stack Exchange User ID to log in

You could

Not saying you should, but it's an option

Alex M.

I think logging in via Facebook is a more useful option

ToddersLegrande

I have only logged in using facebook (intentionally) for something once

@JohnMcDonald I've added you as a member to the GameJammed.com org in trello since you are easy to find. If you want to contribute awesome. If not that's ok to. I'm basically opening up trello as a place to dump feature ideas

such as Log in via StackExchange

Lasse

Which one of these things is my username on trello?

John McDonald

19:27

I noticed. I was like "What's this red thing mean. Oh, I've been added to a group"

Lasse

My email, my name or that @lassenumminen thingie

Alex M.

Alex M. (alexmdevelopment)

this is me

I have an Okami avatar in case you have to find me by username and there are more Alex M.'s

there are two Alex M.'s on the SE

and many Alex M's

Lasse

I have my face as avatar

Alex M.

I don't use Trello for bzns

so it's fine

ToddersLegrande

I think I got you Lasse

Alex you should be good

Alex M.

19:29

Trello to me is a to do list that you'd normally put up on the fridge to pick up in the morning

yup, got added thx @Todders

Lasse

Yeah you got me

ToddersLegrande

sweet

so feel free to add ideas to the ideas section... if you have an opinion on an idea as to whether its required, nice to have, or not wanted at all feel free to shuffle it around and maybe add a note

Alex M.

for some reason I can't add anything

ToddersLegrande

refresh? I dunno

1 sec

Try now

Apparently organization boards still have explicit member access requirements... I had to manually open it up to the organization

Alex M.

still not working

ToddersLegrande

19:33

I think there is a button you now have to push to explicitly join the board

Lasse made it in

Lasse

I added you, you just didn't see the "join" button

Alex M.

works now

coded for almost 8 hours straight today, I feel like playing a game

be back later

ToddersLegrande

have fun
