[07:50] <bkerensa> top of the morning
[09:00] <czajkowski> aloha
[09:21] <czajkowski> http://blog.launchpad.net/general/private-projects-and-private-blueprints-leave-beta :-)
[09:52] <vibhav> czajowski : any suggestions for the LoCo coordination plan?
[09:53] <vibhav> If I get time, I might send the LoCo contacts a mail
[09:53] <czajkowski> vibhav: I've been off sick for the last 2 days
[09:53] <czajkowski> I'll poke the other loco council folks we#ve not chatted this week tbh
[09:53] <czajkowski> huats: might have more of an idea as well
[09:54] <vibhav> Ah, get well soon :)
[11:35] <cjohnston> mornin
[11:56] <nigelb> Hey cjohnston
[11:56] <cjohnston> hey nigelb
[13:19] <daker> morning :)
[15:04] <mhall119> czajkowski: ping
[15:04] <czajkowski> mhall119: pong
[15:05] <mhall119> czajkowski: I created a new LP project, but I'm not sure yet what the license is going to be, is there anything I need to do to make it okay?
[15:05] <mhall119> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-community-website
[15:06] <czajkowski> mhall119: hmm 2 ticks
[15:09] <czajkowski> "GNU Affero GPL v3" was designed for websites
[15:10] <mhall119> czajkowski: right, but it'll be using a WP theme from the web team, which may be proprietary (or may not, I don't know yet)
[15:13] <czajkowski> hmmm
[15:13] <czajkowski> you didn't mention that :)
[15:13] <czajkowski> proprietary means you;ll have to have a commercial licence
[15:13] <czajkowski> that's not a problem I can sort that out
[15:13] <czajkowski> but then means it's not an open project
[15:15] <czajkowski> mhall119: hmm let me double check I think that's a bit confusing
[15:15] <czajkowski> may just need a different licence
[15:15] <czajkowski> let me go review notes and other examples
[15:16] <mhall119> thanks czajkowski
[15:16] <czajkowski> mhall119: gnu affero and + proprietary with a note in the COPYING file that the art is under different terms
[15:16] <czajkowski> that!
[15:16] <czajkowski> if the art/theme is not required to run (but someone has to replace them) then proprietary is not needed
[15:21] <mhall119> the art/theme may be all there is, the rest of the site's content will be in a WP database
[15:25] <mhall119> czajkowski: I'm being complicated, I know :(
[15:27] <czajkowski> mhall119: when aren't you :p
[15:29] <czajkowski> mhall119: properietary then is your answer
[15:33] <mhall119> ok, thanks
[15:33] <mhall119> :)
[16:02] <jono> mhall119, ping?
[16:12] <mhall119> jono: pong
[16:12] <jono> hey mhall119
[16:13] <jono> so to sync yup on the community website project...
[16:13] <jono> are all the pad pages up and complete?
[16:13] <jono> in terms of existing content is on them?
[16:13] <mhall119> jono: the pages are set up, do you want the old content just copy-pasted over?
[16:14] <mhall119> there wasn't much of it, and it's all over the place, I assumed we were starting form scratch
[16:14] <jono> mhall119, so I would like to move the content from u.c/community over to the pad pages and converted to markdown
[16:14] <jono> see the governance page I did as an example
[16:15] <jono> mhall119, well I think we should start with whatever content we have
[16:15] <jono> i have a blog post ready to roll
[16:15] <mhall119> ok, I'll start moving it over
[16:15] <mhall119> what's a good resource for Markdown syntax?
[16:15] <jcastro_> http://askubuntu.com/editing-help
[16:16] <mhall119> http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax?
[16:16] <jcastro_> mhall119: ^^
[16:16] <jono> yup
[16:16] <mhall119> thanks jcastro_
[16:16] <jono> Markdown is dead simple
[16:16] <mhall119> it's not the complexity, it's getting it confused with all the other forms of markup
[16:17] <jcastro_> hey so one thing I've found useful is pandoc
[16:17] <jcastro_> it'll convert from nearly anything to nearly anything.
[16:18] <jcastro_> so if you have say, a directory full of a certain kind of markup, pandoc is a lifesaver
[16:18] <jcastro_> Also, `pandoc -s -r html http://somewebsite -o file.md`
[16:19] <jcastro_> is _awesome_
[16:21] <jcastro_> technoviking: heya, when you start messing with the new forums, see if there's a nice markdown plugin.
[16:22] <jcastro_> it would be nice to have markdown-everywhere for the project, we really only need the forums and the wiki to use it
[16:22] <jcastro_> Launchpad supports markdown too!
[16:22] * jcastro_ goes back to work now after realizing he sounds like a markdown commercial
[16:22] <jono> jcastro_, pandoc looks sweet
[16:23] <jcastro_> yeah, it is
[16:23] <jcastro_> I wanted to prototype some juju doc stuff and I was able to convert all the docs from RST to markdown in like one little loop
[16:24] <jcastro_> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5720/Screenshot%20from%202012-12-05%2014%3A51%3A33.png
[16:24] <jcastro_> jono: ^^
[16:24] <jcastro_> I found this thing called "beautiful-docs"
[16:24] <jono> jcastro_, awesome
[16:24] <jcastro_> that takes a directory of markdown text files and generates that
[16:24] <jono> nice!
[16:25] <jcastro_> jono: then all you need is to connect this to launchpad: http://prose.io/about.html
[16:25] <jcastro_> blam, instant document editing with version control.
[16:33] <jcastro_> jono: wrt to the contribute section
[16:33] <jcastro_> check this out: http://www.whatcanidoformozilla.org/
[16:33] <jcastro_> but instead of program languages think more general things, "translations", "advocacy", and so on.
[16:40] <jono> interesting :-)
[16:42] <vibhav> jcastro_: we had taken this website as an example during the Ubuntu Developer summit
[16:49] <vibhav> During as radio a
