freemangordonreinob: hmm?22:02
reinobcouncil meeting22:02
reinob:)22:02
juicemegood evening, everyone :)22:02
freemangordonoh, everyone == council_meeting, good to know :)22:02
juicemereinob, hi!22:03
reinobisn't #maemo-meeting only for council meetings?#22:03
juicemefreemangordon, hi!22:03
reinobhi juiceme22:03
freemangordonBTW, in case you've missed my post on TMO, we (me and chem|st) already have admin rights on n900 FB application22:03
reinobnice!22:03
juicemeYes, but it is a public meeting, anyone can come and raise topics for the Council22:03
reinobnot that I need FB, but nice22:03
reinobjuiceme: yes, was answering freemangordon who said "good to know everyone = council_meeting"22:04
juicemefreemangordon, yes saw the posting. That was my problem, I asked if the AP's were still valid but did not realy put effort into finfi22:04
juicemeding it out...22:04
juicemeyes, "everyone == community"22:05
freemangordonreinob: #maemo_meeting is where council public meetings are held, but every one is free to join and raise topics or ask questions, afaik22:06
juicemebut good to know the FB thingy is sorted out. don't use the service myself but I see no harm in it if somebody wants to use FB.22:06
freemangordonjuiceme: :nod:22:06
reinobfreemangordon: that's how I understood it. so if I say hi everyone I mean everyone who is here (for the council meeting).22:09
reinobwhat about peterleinchen, Win7Mac and HtheB?22:10
juicemehave not heard from them lately22:10
reinobme neither.22:11
juicemebut then again, I have been travelling and had fairly busy weekend after coming back home...22:11
reinobtoday I've been having a look at the maemo.org/legal22:11
reinobprivacy policy, terms of use22:11
reinobboth refer to HiFo and such22:11
reinobwhich brings me to the general question: who can edit the maemo.org website?22:12
juicemeyes, there still is a lot to change/update22:12
reinobjuiceme: yes, but to me (read: in my mind) it's all a big mess22:12
juicememembers of da admin class22:13
reinobadmin class of .... ?22:13
juicemeas I understand it, it is not an easy platform to update22:13
juicemeat least chem|st, warfare, xes22:14
reinobOK, so what we/I refer to as "techstaff". Right?22:14
juicemeparts of it are so that even you should be able to update them22:14
juicemeyes22:14
juicemetechstaff22:14
reinobso let's say I were to update something for which I have the right to. How would I go about doing that? ssh? ftp?22:15
freemangordonreinob: ssh I guess22:15
juicemeThere's a edit interface to some parts of Maemo, it is a kind of html editor22:16
freemangordonthat one too, it is a CMS after all22:16
juicemealso, direct edit of the files via ssh is of course possible22:16
reinobOK. details about ssh and/or the on-line editor?22:16
juicemeI mean I could probably tweak anything on the site via console if I only dared to, but am afraid I would pbobably break something22:17
juicemeI have been tweaking backend things like karma update system and so on, but not visible content22:18
reinobI'm not planning (for now) to edit stuff, but if I knew how I could update the stuff under maemo.org/legal (in agreement with everyone of course)22:18
reinobthis way, I could also add a document/page with the code-of-conduct (KDE) which I can there refer to in the not-yet-ready posting for TMO22:19
juicemethe thing to do is to go to ##maemo-admin and ask there.22:19
reinoboh, I didn't know about that channel. confirm double ##? or just #maemo-admin22:19
juicemewearing your cloak grants you access to the channel22:19
reinobsounds spooky :)22:19
juicemeyes, ##22:20
reinobI'm in :)22:20
*** HtheB has joined #maemo-meeting22:20
HtheBhi guys22:20
reinobHtheB: hey22:20
HtheBI had an emergency22:20
juicemeHtheB, hi!22:20
reinobhopefully not one health-related?22:21
juicemeokay, I hope it's sorted now?22:21
HtheByeah, family meeting22:22
HtheBa baby is born so we rushed22:22
reinobOh! that's a nice emergency!22:22
reinobMy first daughter was born in TH (Bronovo). That was also an emergency. She was almost born in the car.22:23
reinobThe dutch are a bit nuts, from my point of view :)22:23
HtheBnot my baby though (yet)22:23
HtheBnuts? explain haha22:23
juicemeoho, I was "away", did not notice...22:24
HtheBbut I'm Turkish22:24
HtheBwelcome back juiceme (hahah)22:24
HtheBreinob: i saw a video a couple weeks ago about a woman giving birth in car22:27
juicemenot the best place to do it I recon, but still it can happen. Sometimes the birthing is so suddden22:28
reinobOK, bit off-topic. The thing is you don't go to the hospital until they tell you it's OK for you to come. Problem is when baby doesn't want to wait :)22:29
HtheBhahaha22:29
juiceme:)22:29
HtheBi hope that we don't have to go to the hospital22:31
juicemeheh, just told my wife that we'd supposed to be talking about technical things and instead discuss babies :)22:32
reinob:)))22:32
reinobis a web page technical?22:33
reinob:)22:33
juicemeI suppose so... the implementation at least is22:33
reinobthese are the kinds of things I have to discuss every day :)22:34
juicemeat home or at work ? :)22:34
reinobat work :) my job is to decide is something is a technical invention. Problem is that this is in the field of mostly-non-technical stuff (business, software, etc.)22:35
reinobLawyers don't like me/us22:35
juicemeI suppose the feeling is mutual! :)22:35
reinobnope, I do like them. at least those with long legs :)22:36
juicemeah, that kind of lawyers, yes!22:36
reinob:))22:37
reinobOK, maybe we go back on-topic :)22:37
juicemehad a meeting with one of the species few weeks ago, on use of FOSS/GPL stuff as part of our products...22:37
reinobcan get hairy, but I'm not copyright expert :)22:38
juicemeshe was very well studied on the subject, both the legal and the technical aspects22:38
reinobnice combination22:38
juicemeit's tha absolute hairball, and gets worse all da time. we're expected to *magically* put up your stuff "in da cloud" and use the latest webstuff...22:39
juicemething is, how to be sure of all the licences of components and subcomponents... and to stay current when for example npm pulls subcomponents from external repos...!22:40
juicemehorrible thing to manage22:41
reinobyes. Luckily it's not my problem :)))22:41
reinobHtheB should we go on-topic?22:41
juicemewell it seems to be my probllem now. cripes!22:41
reinoblol22:41
juicemeagreed, back to ontopics22:42
reinobI would like some maemo.org subpages to be edited to reflect the current reality (no Nokia no HiFo). Upcoming events (wiki) is not 2012 :)22:43
reinobThen I could contact ##maemo-admin to ask who/how to edit each one22:43
reinoband whatever I can do I'd do.22:43
reinoband whatever others (techstaff) need to know, we'd ask them to.22:43
juicemewell wikiedits at least should be easy. AFAIK just about everybody has modify access22:43
reinobyup, just like being generic :)22:44
juicemehave you checked you have blog write/edit access btw?22:44
reinobblog-what?you mean maemo.org/news?22:45
juicemego to http://maemo.org/community/council/ for example and if you're logged on, you should see a small light-grey edit-box up on top pf the page22:45
juicemewith menus "folder" "website" "online help"22:46
juicemeHtheB, check that also ^^^22:46
reinobdon't see that box22:47
juicemereally?22:48
juicemethen, you need to ask on ##maemo-admin22:48
reinobtop left see maemo.org logo, top right my name22:48
reinobunderneath INTRO DOWNLOADS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEWS TALK22:49
reinoband on the right the search box22:49
juicemeyes, you should see a kind of grey floating "edit-box" with menus on top of that22:49
HtheBhow to check?22:50
juicemego to page http://maemo.org/community/council/ and log in if not lged already22:50
juicemeand check if you have "edit-box" on the top of the page22:51
HtheBFatal error 4022:52
HtheBafter logging in22:52
reinob?22:52
HtheBlet me try out another browser22:52
HtheBbut just to let you guys know : i never had problems before with Opera22:53

reinobotherwise try it when you're at home / we can leave this point for next meeting22:56
HtheBand Webcat seems to be not submitting my entry at all when trying to login22:58
HtheBhow ironic...22:58
HtheBtrying out firefox, i hope i wont get kicked by oom22:58
reinobmaemo.org has a very weird logon system. I usually have to refresh/reload the page after logging in to appear as logged in.22:58
HtheByup! logged in, had to refresh23:00
reinob:)23:00
reinobdo you the edit box?23:00
HtheBreinob: seems to be thats qhy its still on beta hahah23:00
HtheBno can't edit23:00
HtheBjuiceme: i can't edit23:02
reinobI rejoined ##maemo-admin and will see if anyone of techstaff is there23:02
reinobnope23:04
reinobHtheB: can you add it to the list of open points?23:05
HtheBjuiceme ^23:05
reinobwarfare is on it23:07
reinob:)23:07
warfareAt least I try to ;)23:07
reinoboh you're here too :)23:07
juicemeyo, was afk23:08
juicemewarfare, hi!23:08
juicemeso what did I miss23:09
reinobnetsplit again?23:09
reinobneither HtheB nor I get the edit-box. warfare said he would see if he can "kick midgard into shape" :)23:10
juicemeno, just had to leave irc for a while.23:10
juicemeOK, hope it gets sorted.23:11
reinobyup. we should still leave it as an open point to check next week23:11
juicemeyes23:12
warfarejuiceme: Could you try again?23:14
juicemewarfare, me? I have no problems whatsoever, never had :)23:16
juicemeit's reinob & HtheB> reinob: seems to be thats qhy its still on beta hahah23:16
warfareerr, I meant reinob, sorry.23:16
juicemeoh, did a pasteflood by mistake23:17
juicemejust meant to say reinob & HtheB23:17
reinobyup got the box :)23:18
reinobwarfare: thanks a lot23:18
warfareyou're welcome.23:19
juicemegood!23:19
HtheBwarfare: still can't edit pages23:21
juicemewarfare, when you compare my profile on TMO (http://talk.maemo.org/member.php?u=61958) to reinob's profile (http://talk.maemo.org/member.php?u=51598) there's tag "Community Council" under my name but not reinob's23:22
HtheBim also wondering : why can't we use capital letters as username?23:22
warfareHtheB: Talk has nothing to do with www.maemo.org user wise.23:22
HtheBwarfare: then again, the question still stands...23:22
HtheBwhy can't we use capital letters at all? :D23:23
warfareHtheB: Because all authentication sits on garage with gets imported into midgard. And garage insists on lowercase usernames because it actually creates unix users.23:23
juicemeHtheB, that so? I never thought capital letters would be forbidden...23:23
HtheBwhat about ignoring capital letters?23:23
warfareAnd the login field just submits your login data to t.m.o via javascript in a hidden iframe..23:23
juicemebut actually unix users could be any case, not necessarily small letters. (it's just a convention I think)23:24
HtheBusernames shouldn't be cjecked for capitals at all..23:24
HtheBits not a password :)23:24
warfarejuiceme: They can, but I'm sure some part of garage will be unhappy about it.23:24
HtheBwarfare what about ignoring it?23:25
juicemebut it is a matter of style, usernames *should* be lower case23:25
HtheBso when you use capital, that it will be uncapped?23:25
juicemebecause uppercase does not look good :)23:25
HtheBHtheB - htheb23:25
HtheByou decide :P23:26
reinobOK, in your case. But only in your case :)23:26
HtheBhahahah23:26
warfareHtheB: Known problem for 6 years apparently: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=570223:26
povbotBug 5702: Login name to garage.maemo.org is changed to lowercase23:26
juicemewell that settles it then, there's no updates to midgard :)23:26
juicemebut what about my question:23:27
reinobnot open source or not worth the effort? (I'm OK with that)23:27
juicemewarfare, when you compare my profile on TMO (http://talk.maemo.org/member.php?u=61958) to reinob's profile (http://talk.maemo.org/member.php?u=51598) there's tag "Community Council" under my name but not reinob's23:27
reinobjuiceme: yes, I don't get the "Council" tag23:27
HtheBwhat about my tag? Im a moderator23:28
HtheBcan i get them both?23:28
juicemereinob, it's open source allright, but fairly large and not known to us/me/anybody23:28
warfarejuiceme: Thats something chemist can change, I have no idea about the inner workings of t.m.o23:28
reinobif you OK with it we can add it to our wishlist. like low priority to-do point.23:29
reinobHtheB: unless it's really important for you.23:29
warfarereinob: midgard is opensource but nokia/nemein built so much custom changes on top of it, I'm sure it will break if we update it to a current version.23:29
HtheBreinob: why not, would love to see that :D23:30
juicemelet's ask chem|st whe he's around.23:32
HtheBchem|st: ping23:33
reinobOK. But as the saying goes, if it ain't broke..23:33
HtheBwell, same goes to you then :p do you need council ?23:34
HtheBby the way, i still cant edit pages23:34
reinobit's a matter of priorities. if implemeting case-sensitive usernames means we may get 48h downtime then to me it's a no. If fix can be done relatively in a seamless way then why not?23:36
HtheBreinob: ah I though  you meant my status23:36
reinobbut after all the work will be done by neither of us, so the question is chem|st will be able to do it and if he will want to do it as well23:36
juicemereinob, the skill is in knowing *beforehand* which category it belongs to :p23:37
reinobHtheB: nope, that's a bug that needs to be fixed23:37
warfareHtheB: could you re-login?23:37
reinobjuiceme: you bet. otherwise life would be to easy23:37
HtheBwarfare : ok trying23:37
HtheBoh by the way, Opera refuses ti login23:37
HtheBFatal error 4023:38
*** HtheB has quit IRC23:38
juicemehas it always been so23:38
juicemeoho HtheB's gone23:38
reinoblowmemkiller ftw! :)23:38
juicemehehheee23:39
reinobhe said he's using the jolla23:39
juicemeyes23:39
juicemebut I have never been bitten with it, don't even know what it looks like.23:39
reinobI have that with Android apps. You open firefox and some other app dies23:40
juicemedoes the phone say "xxx been killed because of low mewm" or just kill apps without any info?23:40
*** HtheB has joined #maemo-meeting23:40
reinobno info23:40
juicemeHtheB, welcome back23:40
HtheBblame OOM please23:40
HtheBthnx23:40
juicemereinob just didi :)(23:40
reinobI've tweaked it to minimize it, but then every now and then the whole desktop restarts23:40
HtheBhow can I logout?!23:41
juicemeso there's no info when it happens?23:41
reinoblowmemkiller is not OOM. lowmemkiller is android, OOM is linux. I've never experienced a real OOM23:41
HtheBcouldn't find the logout button23:41
juicemeodd.23:41
HtheBreinob: killing is killing :P23:41
juicemeahh, never used android, would not know about that.23:42
HtheBwarfare: where is the logout button?23:42
juicemeHtheB, if you just close browser and restart?23:42
reinobjolla is android, like it or not. It's glibc-linux userspace on top of android kernel23:42
reinobs/jolla/sailfishos23:42
warfareHtheB: below website -> logout23:42
juicemereinob yes, but that's ecxactly the point: glibc23:43
reinobbut the android kernel is the one with the lowmemkiller23:43
juicemeI could live with a toilet seat running HURD fergossakes, if it had glibc and gnu userland :)23:43
reinob:)23:44
reinobamen23:44
HtheBwarfare: nope, no logout button23:44
warfareHtheB: You get the toolbar?23:44
HtheBah23:44
juicemeso?23:45
HtheBstill can't edit haha23:45
HtheBi think I can add new notes23:45
HtheBbut not edit posts23:46
juicemeah23:46
HtheBor isn't that what I should do?23:46
juicemewell half's better than nuthink :)23:46
HtheBI'm a bit lost here23:46
juicemeadding new is OK... could be you cannot edit posts by others... am not sure23:46
HtheBreinob: what about you?23:47
* warfare has no idea of the "user" side.23:47
juicememmh, at least I can edit posts made by peterleinchen, just checked...23:48
warfareStrange because both of you have the same group memberships.23:49
HtheBwarfare: check out the rights of me and juiceme and compare them?23:49
HtheB:/23:50
HtheBis there a button?23:50
HtheBthat I miss23:50
reinobI have no idea how I could edit a post. I can create an article. But I wouldn't have expected the possibility of editing other people's posts, so maybe this is by design.23:50
reinobI'm gonna have to leave.23:50
HtheBoh i see23:51
HtheBits at the top reinob23:51
HtheBthe so called toolbar23:51
reinobwas nice talking to you guys. Don't take any important decisions when I'm away OK? :)23:51
reinobcheers23:51
HtheBArticle23:51
juicemeokay :)23:51
HtheBo/23:51
HtheBok i can edit them23:51
juicemebye!23:51
juicemeyou can? excellent!23:52
warfareHtheB: Group memberships are (nearly) identical to juiceme's (except juiceme being in the ubiboot group=23:52
HtheBseems like its inside the toolbar 'Article'23:52
warfareAh :)23:52
juicemeyes23:52
HtheBi was looking for ab edit button like on the wiki page23:52
juicemethought I explained it, but not well enought then :)23:52
HtheBsorry for that23:52
juicemenp23:52
chem|stpong23:53
juicemebut hey, now you can go to for example to the latest minutes I posted today, and when you clic "edit" you will see how the html is formatted23:53
juicemechem|st, hi!23:54
HtheBhi chem|st !23:54
HtheBCan we have a double status?23:54
juicemewe discussed eaarlier the "Community Council" tag on TMO. Should add that for HtheB and reinob23:55
chem|stquick scroll back, warfare is right, midgard is customized to a point it is even hard to get around the backend23:55
juicemeah yes, as HtheB is mod23:55
chem|stand no there is no double status and we always went with "staff" status23:55
chem|stif you want I can change it to council23:56
HtheBwhat is a higher status? mod or council?23:56
juiceme:p23:56
chem|stHtheB: in terms of talk. mod23:56
HtheBchem|st: make me admin  :-)23:56
HtheBheheh23:56
chem|stHtheB: I don't think you want that....23:56
HtheBok leave it as mod then :D23:57
chem|stk23:57
HtheBill add it to my signature23:57
chem|stHtheB: you have all secondary groups though23:57
juicemebut for reinob the CC tag should be OK. me and peterleinchen already have that23:58
chem|stwarfare: for midgard, maybe have a look to clean out old rights too23:58
warfarechem|st: Yes, we should go over the group memberships.23:59
chem|stjuiceme: yeah, but it isn't like cloaks23:59
HtheBim wondering when we can remove the Beta sign from the website23:59
juicemebound to be stuff to clean out and tighten23:59
juicemechem|st, yes, just for status23:59
