Sorry, I left the name= part of the new feeds, I'll fix those now. 07:39:11 kruben: speaking of which, where's your blog? :) 07:39:24 i just read some of the posts. 07:39:46 ctyler: should be fixed, we'll see soon. :) 07:40:09 you want us to pick a project to work on. right? 07:40:41 mchua: work in progress :-) will write some soon.. 07:40:42 am thinking that it would be related to SOAS 07:41:35 kruben: cool, let us know if you need help getting set up :) we're asking people here to blog once at the end of each day (that's why we have 3-3:30pm each day reserved for that). 07:41:40 am i could see this opportunity to fix a build error i am having. 07:41:57 am->and* 07:42:02 micadeyeye: that would be cool! liknus also works on spins, so maybe he can help you there as well. 07:42:37 micadeyeye: I work on SoaS, but not on the release engineering / spins compose component, but I can point you to things for that particular project and hopefully liknus and others can help fill in the rest. 07:42:40 boniface: what virtualization tool do you use? 07:42:54 micadeyeye, sure.. plz tell me where I can help :) 07:43:09 mchua: please do. 07:43:20 boniface, you need to try QEMU under Fedora :) It rocks... 07:43:22 micadeyeye: Okay. I'll make a liveusb for you of soas at lunch today, too. 07:43:41 okay, i am referring to FF build on Ubuntu 10.04. 07:44:00 can i work on that? 07:44:53 liknus: you need to work me through packaging later today. 07:45:31 liknus: i might have to install fedora on my machine, as you said. 07:45:38 micadeyeye, you can work with Ubuntu...the thing is that we are not going to be able to deeply help you... (in case something weird happens) 07:46:03 micadeyeye, you should have fedora, for packaging yeap :) 07:46:08 no problem. 07:46:09 for packaging for Fedora, anyway :) 07:46:20 mchua, right :) 07:46:37 weird....we are talking through IRC :P 08:08:53 #info We just brainstormed (in-person) ideas for projects. 08:09:09 #note gruntus and others - when you come back, ping me online and we'll figure out what you're going to do. :) 08:09:21 #agreed kruben and jwildeboer will pair on finding a ticket and making a patch 08:10:24 #agreed michaelgraaf and mchua will pair on setting up a structure for contribution around an existing project, using his thesis codework as an example. 08:11:17 #agreed micadeyeye, boniface, and liknus will work on packaging and release management, finding a packaging request and creating an .rpm for it. 08:11:27 gruntus: Hey! Perfect timing. :) Got a moment while everyone else is drinking coffee? 08:11:46 hi all - yup got a couple of moments right now 08:12:00 ftp://ftp.leg.uct.ac.za/pub/linux/ 08:12:07 gruntus: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teachingopensource/2010-10-06/posse_sa_day_3.2010-10-06-07.21.log.txt 08:12:10 gruntus: that's the log of today so far 08:12:23 great - thanx 08:12:24 gruntus: I'll put out a few links for you, but what I want to talk about right now is the project you'll be working on today and tomorrow, and ideas for that. 08:12:34 oh, hang on 08:12:37 #topic coffee break 08:12:41 there we go :) 08:12:45 gruntus: we started with http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE_South_Africa#Wednesday_readings 08:12:59 ok - saw that 08:13:00 everyone spent a few minutes reading whatever blog posts from there they wanted, to get a sense of what prior POSSE alumni have thought and done. 08:13:13 and then we discussed that, and brainstormed some project ideas. 08:13:21 sounds good 08:13:26 Did you have anything in mind that you wanted to work on in the next few days? 08:13:38 To recap - kruben and jwildeboer will pair on finding a ticket and making a patch 08:13:52 michaelgraaf and mchua will pair on setting up a structure for contribution around an existing project, using his thesis codework as an example. 08:14:03 micadeyeye, boniface, and liknus will work on packaging and release management, finding a packaging request and creating an .rpm for it. 08:14:20 and we also talked about other things we'd like to do, but perhaps later - setting up mirrors, hosting a translation party, remix creation... 08:14:28 Today will only allow me to work from time to time, so possibly doing some work on the translations that we saw yesterday would be easiest 08:14:48 ...which are all things we're going to figure out how to move forward with at the end of thurs, start of fri, based on the resources you have here locally and how we can continue to work with you and support you remotely 08:14:53 (with occasional in-person visits, hopefully ;) 08:15:10 gruntus: Okay, that would work! Which translation were you thinking of? 08:15:35 gruntus: That would actually be great, because then you'd be in a good position to help us think about a multi-university translation hackathon tomorrow. 08:15:51 Well, my Afrikaans is very good - totally fluent - so that would be easiest 08:16:20 Maybe liknus haas a suggestion as to where the need is greatest 08:16:43 liknus: any suggestions? 08:16:50 ok gruntus :) 08:17:00 gruntus: I was guessing Afrikaans. :) That would be awesome. 08:17:15 so the thing is that right now we are done with packages translations 08:17:30 (3 weeks now) 08:17:38 ok, so what's still out there? 08:17:50 and right now we are dealing with Documentation :) 08:18:00 Documentation is fine 08:18:05 liknus: one angle to take here is to think - "if I were holding an Afrikaans translation FAD, what would I do right now to prepare for it?" 08:18:11 what would I look at, what questions would I ask, etc. 08:18:11 and also there are always the Websites that have no schedule 08:18:22 because that's what I'd suggest, actually :) we have FAD funding exactly for that sort of thing. 08:18:40 liknus: Oo, websites! Websites would get pushed live before the end of the week, we could have immediate results with that. 08:18:58 Yeah - websites sounds good 08:19:28 ok so gruntus I have a nice idea :) 08:19:29 Anybody got a good website starting point? 08:19:39 Cool! 08:19:44 gruntus: and then by the end of the week, when we all leave, you'll be able to show everyone the core Fedora websites in Afrikaans - that would be *awesome* 08:19:56 Absolutely 08:19:56 how about translating http://start.fedoraproject.org ? 08:19:57 and very useful to folks here in terms of being able to use/participate in FOSS, it seems :) 08:20:11 thats the start page for Firefox in every Fedora machine :) 08:20:29 Ok am loading it in browser 08:20:38 Another one I'd look at would be http://fedoraproject.org/index.html 08:20:58 because it doesn't look like we even have the description or the mission statement of Fedora translated 08:21:02 (I could be wrong, but I can't find it) 08:21:02 mchua, thats the MAIN branch right :) 08:21:22 ok let me give you the links in Transifex 08:21:22 And then, more ambitiously... 08:21:24 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join 08:21:27 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate 08:21:31 (they're wiki pages though) 08:21:46 wiki is not set yet for translations :P 08:21:50 we are getting to that 08:22:18 right now we are testing the translation process in wiki (it does not involve Transifex tough) 08:22:41 so lets stick with start and main :) 08:22:45 ok gruntus ? 08:23:07 Ok on http://fedoraproject.org/index.html I see a docs link at left - is that where I should be going? 08:24:34 nope wait :) 08:24:44 liknus: have found http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject 08:24:48 we are doing translations through Transifex 08:25:04 the link you posted is where the Docs *end* up 08:25:14 right 08:25:15 but we translate them through transifex 08:25:20 ok 08:25:52 Entry url? 08:26:00 ok 08:26:02 #link https://translate.fedoraproject.org/languages/l/af/collection/c/fedora/r/websites/ 08:26:10 so this is the Afrikaans page for translations 08:26:23 loading... 08:26:38 ok gottit 08:26:51 the thing is that someone like me (mentor/committer) must set it up first because they where no translations in the past 08:27:01 yes I see that 08:27:07 give me 10 minutes and I should have the af.po ready for translations :) 08:27:08 ok? 08:27:25 liknus: If you can do that in the background while I go through ticket trackers, etc. here that would be great. 08:27:32 liknus: yes - thanks 08:27:40 ok 08:27:41 then I can come back in here while Michael is talking and write notes to catch gruntus up, since he and you will be doing his project setup now. 08:27:44 does that sound all right to you both? 08:27:48 * liknus diving into .pot to po :) 08:27:52 Perfect 08:27:55 w00t 08:28:02 I'll leave this in "coffee break" mode now then :) 08:28:11 you're both chairs, so take #notes and make #links and #actions if needed ;) 08:28:25 Ok - I also need a coffee break 08:30:30 *meep* So... 08:30:43 More or less where on campus are y'all hiding out? 08:30:57 :) 08:31:33 Dance floor (top floor) Roeland St Campus 08:32:16 Tx kruben - is there a number I can call when I get there and (predictably) manage to get myself lost? :) 08:33:20 antoinevg: you can call me on 0828853884 if lost 08:33:38 ToDo list is a ticketing system :) 08:34:00 kruben: awesome 08:36:02 antoinevg: sorry - more specifically its the boardroom on the top floor, roeland st campus 08:37:08 kruben: Great!

Also, there are a few things I have marked as fuzzy because I'm not sure what the documentation demands. For example, there is a code that seems to be addressing the size of something, but I'm not certain whether this should be translated or not 12:52:38 can you post here the original string? 12:52:57 ok just let me find it 12:53:37 Ok here it is: %(size)s, CD ISO disc image for %(arch)s-bit PC 12:54:00 the %(size)s and %(arch)s are the thing 12:54:50 #note michaelgraaf and antoinevg talking about restrictive IP policies from institutions and governments that make it difficult - even prohibited - to release academic work under open source licenses; antoinevg writing this up as a potential opensource.com/government article 12:57:35 You guys still there? 12:58:08 gruntus: Yep yep. 12:58:40 gruntus: (This is one of the struggles in being a remotee - it's hard to get in-person visibility into what is happening in a realtime classroom.) 12:59:03 Of course - I guess you guys are busy 12:59:11 This is also what external folks might feel like when trying to participate in a project your class is working on, so this is something that we're trying to be aware of, and prevent. :) 12:59:23 So let me see if I can be a better classroom-Grant bridge here. 12:59:36 gruntus: What I can't do is help you with the translation stuff directly, because I'm not a translator myeslf... 12:59:40 er, myself - 13:00:00 but let's look at the Fedora wiki pages and see who else we might be able to ask while liknus is busy. 13:00:18 * mchua goes to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Project_Wiki 13:00:21 * mchua looks at the sidebar 13:00:22 mchua: It doesn't really matter as long as I know that long breaks are not your network failing again 13:00:34 gruntus: They sometimes are. :) We've had... 2, maybe 3 outages today. 13:00:47 #topic Grant, Mel, and the hunt for translation skillz 13:00:55 Ok, os patience is the order of the day... :) 13:01:09 So, I'm looking at the left sidebar, gruntus - looking for the translation team's space. 13:01:19 aha. 13:01:21 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N 13:01:40 gruntus: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N#IRC_channel 13:01:48 Let's see if anyone's in #fedora-i18n :) 13:02:01 * mchua joins #fedora-i18n 13:02:20 gruntus: you too ;) 13:02:47 ok - how? 13:02:52 gruntus: do "/join #fedora-i18n" - no quotes 13:02:54 just like we did on Monday. 13:04:05 gruntus: following ok? 13:04:08 * mchua doesn't see you there yet 13:04:16 http://www.flickr.com/photos/45478359@N06/sets/72157624982525123/ 13:04:48 liknus: can you join #fedora-i18n, we'll talk there? 13:05:18 mchua, it is l10n 13:06:15 gruntus: Oh! liknus says I went to the wrong channel, it should be #fedora-l10n 13:06:28 ok will try that 13:06:35 gruntus: can you /join #fedora-l10n instead?
