[13:29] <bookwar> i am trying to register new project and i checked that https://launchpad/<my_name> gives nothing, but launchpad gives an error that <my_name> is already taken. Is it a bug or are there certain hidden projects?
[13:33] <dobey> bookwar: what name?
[13:33] <bookwar> https://launchpad.net/mos
[13:34] <dobey> it is already taken, yes
[13:35] <bookwar> ok, thanks
[13:36] <dobey> it's inactive, so maybe an admin can reclaim it for you, but you'll need to ask a question about the issue at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad for further help
[13:44] <bookwar> dobey: thanks, posted there, let's wait and see https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/250363
[13:45] <wgrant> bookwar: Done.
[13:47] <bookwar> that was fast :)

[15:23] <landroni> Hello
[15:24] <landroni> I have a question wrt to code imports: https://help.launchpad.net/VcsImports
[15:24] <landroni> Can anyone be of assistance?
[15:26] <dobey> landroni: just ask your question
[15:27] <landroni> Sure. I want to import an arbitrary GIT branch for the LyX project (NOT 'master', but the '2.1.x' branch): http://git.lyx.org/?p=lyx.git;a=heads
[15:27] <landroni> How can I do that in Launchpad: https://code.launchpad.net/+code-imports/+new ?
[15:28] <dobey> append ",branch=$name" to the url in the import
[15:29] <landroni> So this would look like: `git://git.lyx.org/lyx,branch=2.1.x`, correct?
[15:29] <dobey> possibly (if git://git.lyx.org/lyx is the url for master, yes)
[15:30] <landroni> Indeed. Thanks a lot! I'll try this.

[18:55] <ctracey> hey all. wondering if there is an established policy for seemingly abandoned project names.
[18:55] <ctracey> I have searched for this topic, but did not find anything.
[19:04] <dobey> what project name?
[19:05] <ctracey> dobey: octavia
[19:06] <ctracey> dobey: this is the request: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/250367. Was just trying to see if I was even remotely on-base here.
[19:08] <dobey> The "moved to github" bit is confusing
[19:08] <dobey> "Moved to github" != abandoned
[19:09] <dobey> i see several things on github with the name "octavia" and they're all different
[19:09] <ctracey> dobey: yeah, we looked but could not find anything
[19:09] <dobey> so i'd suggest that perhaps "octavia" is not a good name for your thing
[19:11] <dobey> the request to free the name seems valid-ish, but it seems to not be a good naming choice, as people searching for it might end up in a sea of confusing projects all named the same thing, but all of which are different things
[19:12] <ctracey> dobey: understood. we are proposing this to be a subproject of OpenStack
[19:12] <ctracey> specifically stackforge
[19:13] <dobey> https://github.com/blueboxgroup/octavia <- is it this?
[19:14] <ctracey> dobey: that is a placeholder with the intention to move it to stackforge
[19:15] <sbalukoff> I think this is what that "octavia" project became: https://github.com/openlabs/poweremail
[19:15] <sbalukoff> Also I just put in for a trademark request on "octavia"
[19:16] <dobey> which octavia became that?
[19:16] <sbalukoff> This one: https://launchpad.net/poweremail/trunk/0.3
[19:17] <dobey> that is not a project named octavia
[19:17] <ctracey> launchpad.net/octavia seems to bring you diectly to launchpad.net/poweremail
[19:17] <dobey> that is a milestone for a project, with a code name of "octavia"
[19:17] <dobey> not for me it doesn't, but that might be a permissions thing
[19:18] <dobey> it's probably sending you to a search and that's the only search result
[19:18] <sbalukoff> Aah-- yes it doesn't redirect for me, either.
[19:18] <sbalukoff> ctracey: Can we register the "octavia" project, then?
[19:18] <ctracey> i cannot
[19:18] <ctracey> launchpad says this name is in use
[19:18] <dobey> not until an admin comes around and deals with that question
[19:18] <ctracey> i asummed it was for poweremail
[19:19] <dobey> yes, the name is in use, but that poweremail thing isn't why
[19:19] <sbalukoff> aah!
[19:19] <sbalukoff> And we need an admin to tell us why it's in use?
[19:19] <dobey> i can tell you why it's in use
[19:19] <sbalukoff> That would be very helpful, thanks. :)
[19:19] <dobey> i can't delete it or give you ownership
[19:19] <sbalukoff> Oh, ok.
[19:20] <dobey> it's in use because a long time ago some random user signed up to launchpad and had no idea what they were doing
[19:20] <sbalukoff> Haha!
[19:20] <sbalukoff> It was probably me.
[19:20] <sbalukoff> But maybe not.
[19:20] <dobey> it wasn't you
[19:20] <dobey> long time ago == 2008
[19:21] <ctracey> dobey: thanks for the clarification here
[19:21] <sbalukoff> Yeah, that's definitely before I was involved.
[19:21] <ctracey> sounds more promising it seems
[19:21] <sbalukoff> Yes, thanks!
[19:21] <dobey> i think someone was trying to file a bug against gimp or something, and created a project to describe their support request
[19:21] <sbalukoff> dobey: Do you know who we should contact to resolve this?
[19:22] <dobey> oh, maybe i can resolve it after all
[19:22] <sbalukoff> Rad!
[19:22] <ctracey> dobey: provide address and adult beverages shall arrive :)
[19:22] <dobey> you should be able to register it now
[19:24] <sbalukoff> Trying now...
[19:25] <sbalukoff> Aww hell yes!
[19:25] <sbalukoff> Thank you very much!
[19:26] <ctracey> dobey: thanks!
[19:26] <ctracey> offer stands
[19:26] <sbalukoff> Yep. Totally.
[19:26] <dobey> heh :)
[19:26] <dobey> your welcome
[19:27] <dobey> you're even
