tsimonq2

mikeputnam: have any fun projects that you have been working on?

01:01

mikeputnam

unrelated to anything, this is a neat .js library that can do amazing visualizations: http://paperjs.org/examples/

01:01

tsimonq2

oh cool

01:02

mikeputnam

the nyan rainbow one is particularly neat

01:02

adueppen

Just a heads-up, I won't be talking much here since I'm doing QA. I swear I'm not turning into Simon.

01:02

mikeputnam

audio volume incr/decr with the visual

01:02

tsimonq2

adueppen: XD wot m8? :P

01:02

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: ha ha cool :D

01:02

adueppen

tsimonq2: I'm doing that task

01:02

tsimonq2

oh ok :)

01:03

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: oh WOW that's AWESOME LOL

01:03

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: neat :)

01:03

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: so have you worked on anything notable this past few weeks?

01:04

adueppen

Actually i will still be talking a bit since i have my tablet here

01:04

tsimonq2

or have you found out something cool that you can do with your Ubuntu machine, mikeputnam?

01:04

tsimonq2

adueppen: same goes for you :)

01:04

mikeputnam

i've been tinkering on a python rss/atom feed parser thing that will hopefully incite people to edit a wiki by way of playful competition

01:04

tsimonq2

ooh, fun :)

01:05

adueppen

I've been working on Google Code-in

01:05

adueppen

And I made my wiki page

01:05

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: you have anything to link us, or are you just describing the concept? :)

01:05

tsimonq2

adueppen: yay! link?

01:05

mikeputnam

backstory: i wrote an emailer script (python) that i run on a weekly cron that looks up a google calendar for the current week's events and sends an email to our Makerspace's mailing list

01:05

adueppen

http://wiki.ubuntu.com/adueppen I think that's the right link, i

01:06

tsimonq2

oh that's pretty SWEET, mikeputnam :D

01:06

mikeputnam

just adding the wiki stuff to that

01:06

adueppen

Had ti hand-type that

01:06

adueppen

To*

01:06

tsimonq2

adueppen: cool :D

01:06

tsimonq2

adueppen: you might want to add a little more content, it looks a bit blank

01:07

tsimonq2

and you would be surprised what you can put on there

01:07

adueppen

I know, I'll be working on it this weekend

01:07

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: any recommendations from you about adueppen's wiki page?

01:07

mikeputnam

here is an example of the email output (before wiki)

01:08

mikeputnam

- Make the Space! Monday 6:00PM-10:00PM

01:08

mikeputnam

-

01:08

mikeputnam

oops

01:08

mikeputnam

01:09

mikeputnam

that ^

01:09

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: oh cool, so what have you been adding to it?

01:09

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: will it now output to a wiki page?

01:10

tsimonq2

or what?

01:10

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: I just don't know how the wiki page aspect fits into this, that's all

01:11

mikeputnam

it will read the Recent Changes RSS feed for our makerspace's wiki

01:11

tsimonq2

oh cool :)

01:11

mikeputnam

then show a "leaderboard" of who edited the most

01:11

tsimonq2

ha that's cool

01:11

mikeputnam

(hopefully inciting people to want to compete to edit more)

01:12

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: speaking of leaderboards, look at what I am on top of for Xenial: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers

01:12

mikeputnam

winning!

01:12

tsimonq2

number one tester for Xenial :D

01:12

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: and #80 for all time: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers/top100

01:13

tsimonq2

gonna get to (at least) #20 before Juse, when I apply for membership

01:13

tsimonq2

*June

01:14

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: but cool concept, keep us updated :)

01:14

adueppen

Welp found an issue with the testing here

01:14

tsimonq2

adueppen: ruh roh, what did you do?

01:14

adueppen

The manual partitioning testcase

01:14

tsimonq2

adueppen: talk to me in Hangouts

01:15

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: besides the system requirements on the flavors being wrong, do you have anything to suggest for http://ubuntu-wisconsin.org/?

01:16

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: my goal is to get it finished by our next meeting

01:17

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: and adueppen is doing/did some artwork for it

01:18

tsimonq2

it looks great so far :)

01:18

mikeputnam

looking good!

01:19

tsimonq2

yay!

01:19

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: and if looking it over, you find a typo or something, here is the Github link: https://github.com/wisconsinlinux/wisconsinlinux.github.io

01:20

mikeputnam

one piece of feedback: at first glance, i didn't notice the heading/menu and just saw the "work in progress" thinking there wasn't much to see

01:20

mikeputnam

tsimonq2: that's the link to the one i maintain ;)

01:21

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: so how could that be fixed?

01:21

tsimonq2

whoops wrong link, sorry :)

01:21

mikeputnam

(well... we maintain)

01:21

tsimonq2

https://github.com/ubuntuwisconsin/ubuntuwisconsin.github.io

01:22

tsimonq2

heh I got it ;)

01:22

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: I am going to put more information on the home page

01:22

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: but any code suggestions?

01:23

mikeputnam

totally subjective, but I'd put the http://ubuntu-wisconsin.org/AboutUbuntu/ first paragraph on the main page

01:23

tsimonq2

that's my plan :)

01:23

mikeputnam

and the "What does it look like?" section

01:23

tsimonq2

yeah, I gotta go through and fix a couple things with those images :)

01:24

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: but does that seem like all?

01:24

mikeputnam

yes i think that would be a great start to a page that is aimed at non-ubuntu users.

01:25

tsimonq2

ok :)\

01:25

mikeputnam

check out ubuntu! here's what it is!

01:25

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: on our next informal IRC meeting as well as the main monthly one, I am gonna ask for more input

01:26

tsimonq2

but yeah, my goal is to be able to link a newbie to this and for them to walk out being able to install it and/or get support

01:26

tsimonq2

that was the goal of the site, right?

01:26

mikeputnam

yes i think so

01:27

tsimonq2

ok, good

01:28

tsimonq2

and speaking of the next meeting, I prepared a wiki page along with some agenda items

01:28

tsimonq2

adueppen, mikeputnam: So maybe you should check it out and give feedback on the agenda items and the wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/WisconsinTeam/20160108

01:29

tsimonq2

your choice

01:29

tsimonq2

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

01:29

tsimonq2

mikeputnam: I also plan on working with adueppen to get the Quick Start page good to go

01:30

tsimonq2

so I think that is it

01:30

adueppen

and I'm still here doing QA if you need to say something to me

01:31

tsimonq2

unless someone has another cool thing to link us to, I think we can conclude this little informal meeting

01:31

tsimonq2

adueppen: ok :)

01:31

tsimonq2

adueppen: just read the logs :)

01:31

tsimonq2

ok, that seems to be it. thanks guys, and see you around! :)
