| juiceme | hi! | 23:01 |
|---|---|---|
| chem|st | low | 23:02 |
| juiceme | chem|st, o/ | 23:02 |
| peterleinchen | middle | 23:02 |
| juiceme | peterleinchen, o/ | 23:02 |
| juiceme | all grounds covered then :) | 23:02 |
| chem|st | so when are elections? what is the electorate | 23:03 |
| juiceme | well | 23:03 |
| chem|st | well what? | 23:03 |
| chem|st | 2 1/2 weeks right? | 23:04 |
| juiceme | checking but wiki don't open | 23:04 |
| juiceme | yes | 23:05 |
| juiceme | sorry about that. 1.5 weeks until final candidate setting | 23:06 |
| juiceme | then, one week for candidate contemplation, then elections | 23:06 |
| juiceme | win7mac and gryllida are still missing their introductory piece on the wiki | 23:07 |
| juiceme | I'd like to see those soon :) | 23:07 |
| juiceme | ah, same goes with HtheB | 23:08 |
| juiceme | so we have 7 valid candidates, no change in that list since last week | 23:08 |
| peterleinchen | and no question or comment at all in(re-)announcement(s) | 23:10 |
| juiceme | yep | 23:10 |
| juiceme | so, what else is current? | 23:17 |
| peterleinchen | no current, just voltage ;) | 23:18 |
| juiceme | hehe | 23:18 |
| peterleinchen | I would say no AOB, or? | 23:19 |
| peterleinchen | so what about status of transfer? | 23:19 |
| juiceme | well, none probably | 23:19 |
| peterleinchen | and TMs? | 23:19 |
| chem|st | peterleinchen: transfer? | 23:19 |
| juiceme | no news yet | 23:19 |
| juiceme | transfer of ownership from Nokia to MCeV | 23:20 |
| peterleinchen | HiFo -> e.V. | 23:20 |
| juiceme | ah that one | 23:20 |
| juiceme | done deal I think | 23:20 |
| peterleinchen | if so I guess it would be nice to announce | 23:21 |
| chem|st | peterleinchen: that is pretty old stuff, transfer was done ages ago | 23:22 |
| chem|st | peterleinchen: we are to inform Nokia about a transfer, not ask them if it is ok... if we meet the requirements all good | 23:23 |
| peterleinchen | okay! | 23:23 |
| peterleinchen | somehow I missed it | 23:23 |
| juiceme | I think what he means is that there should be an announcement of some sort about it on TMO & mailing list | 23:23 |
| peterleinchen | and I guess rest of community then too | 23:24 |
| peterleinchen | juiceme, yep! | 23:24 |
| *** pmgc has joined #maemo-meeting | 23:26 | |
| juiceme | pmgc, hi! | 23:27 |
| chem|st | juiceme: I was thinking about a rewirtten frontpage and a subsection cleanup where we home e.V. in midgard, I voiced those thoughts to council and others several times | 23:27 |
| pmgc | heya everybody! :D | 23:27 |
| chem|st | and the move was announced on hifo webpage iirc | 23:27 |
| juiceme | chem|st, that is to make it cleaner to maintain, right? | 23:30 |
| juiceme | but all drastic changes will probably meet resistance | 23:30 |
| chem|st | that too but basically all midgard maemo.org/ is outdated info | 23:30 |
| juiceme | true | 23:31 |
| chem|st | juiceme: no resistance jsut noone insane enough to do it | 23:31 |
| chem|st | midgard is a nightmare, people wrote stuff on CSS pages as they did not find a way to publish it in the right place | 23:32 |
| juiceme | well, I for example have no idea how the source looks like, is it easy or difficult to modify/clean. I have only heard that midgard is a bit of its own beast :) | 23:32 |
| juiceme | ah | 23:32 |
| chem|st | so they used the css to draw html on a page, I did the same for that nokia announcement frontpage as I did not find out how to do it another way either | 23:33 |
| juiceme | is there any documentation how it should be done right, or is it just word-of-mouth? | 23:33 |
| chem|st | not even the original developer company will touch it, it is a grown construct where everything seems to be part of its root, cut one end and the tree falls | 23:34 |
| juiceme | so how do you propose to do it then? | 23:35 |
| chem|st | someone with enough spare time to find out how to alter at least that info stuff about community etc | 23:35 |
| juiceme | how many people currently have edit permissions to it? | 23:36 |
| chem|st | I found one page within 2-3h forth and back, it wasn't the one I was looking for but well, at least I found something | 23:36 |
| chem|st | 5-8 probably, all are scared | 23:37 |
| chem|st | imho from scratch is for a skilled team probably easier than changing it | 23:43 |
| juiceme | so you propose a task force to do it? | 23:44 |
| chem|st | yeah find skilled people | 23:47 |
| peterleinchen | sorry, do not look at me ;) | 23:47 |
| peterleinchen | managed to stay away from that 'modern' internet stuff :) | 23:48 |
| juiceme | well, we do have people skilled in various web-development arts | 23:48 |
| juiceme | at least I think so, people skilled with many things on TMO | 23:48 |
| juiceme | peterleinchen, me too, am still using "vi" to edit html files... :) | 23:49 |
| peterleinchen | juiceme, :) | 23:49 |
| chem|st | juiceme: I do not know the frameworks but it isn't an easy task | 23:49 |
| juiceme | could be if we write a thread on TMO, ask for people to volunteer for it? Then select and appoint some group to do it (if we get anybody intrested) | 23:50 |
| chem|st | midgard is so highly adapted to what maemo.org needs that it is only midgard core and iirc even that is modified | 23:50 |
| peterleinchen | another sorry, but need to leave. gn | 23:54 |
| juiceme | okay | 23:54 |
| *** peterleinchen has quit IRC | 23:55 | |
| *** pmgc has quit IRC | 23:57 | |
| chem|st | I never looked at source stuff though, the publishing backend is painful and it seems whoever set the pages up initially did like to use pointers instead of content and built everything into separate function boxes as there was "some" variable content on every page, instead of just putting the variable content in a box | 23:59 |
