Perth is not as bad as that. You will see 19:38:52 #action richardm to move the new mahara integration project back to tasks if it's not already there 19:39:02 Thanks everyone :) 19:39:05 richardm: you can take it out, i've already done it :) 19:39:11 #undo 19:39:11 Removing item from minutes: 19:39:21 cool 19:39:38 alright, next item 19:39:39 #info dobedobedoh to look at modifying release & test running scripts to look for tests in the right places 19:39:57 make it a topic, richardm then it shows up as such 19:40:09 ah ok 19:40:10 sorry. 19:40:15 Sadly I haven't had a chance to work on that yet. I was hoping to chat to elky or fmarier as to which scripts need updating 19:41:07 do we have a bug on the tracker to keep track of that? (that seems to be the more logical place to keep this item) 19:41:16 Not yet 19:41:18 I'll create one 19:41:23 ok 19:41:47 #action dobedobedoh to create a bug for modifying release & test running scripts to look for tests in the right places 19:42:12 #topic Starting the discussion about a possible date / month for the Mahara 1.5 release (Kristina) 19:42:25 #idea I just wanted to start the discussion about the release date as we are getting close to the end of 2011 and more and more people ask about Mahara 1.5 and soon will ask about when it's going to be released. As most of our user base is in the northern hemisphere, I'd like to see a release date in late spring so that the edu sector can upgrade over the northern hemispheric summer as that seems to be the best and for many only time to upgra 19:42:30 .. 19:43:18 so our current objective i think is to have releases every 6 to 12 months 19:43:37 which would mean 1.5 at the earliest in December and at the latest in June 19:44:05 December isn't too realistic 19:44:08 and based on previous releases, we should probably plan to freeze about 2 months before we want to release 19:44:17 i think a release in june is more feasible because then we can still put some more features into it because most will not update before that i think. 19:44:30 skin support? 19:44:35 so yeah, richard is right, the earliest would be February (if we were to freeze now) 19:46:18 personally, i don't really have a strong opinion 19:46:29 i would think a freeze in april like this year would be quite good as this gives us a bit more time for planning and finishing up work 19:46:37 i'm not sure we should always base releases on when school terms start 19:46:38 but it looks like there are a few features that would be nice to have 19:46:50 if we do that, we're always committing to 12 months 19:47:36 do you want to release more frequently? 19:47:53 I would like to get web services - if possible 19:48:01 the last two have been more like 9 months, right? and we already have enough in master for a good release now if we were so inclined 19:48:04 in - that is 19:48:27 anitsirk: we want to retain the flexibility to adjust the release date I think 19:49:11 sure, but if we release now / soon then people will still only upgrade in july / august and miss the features we're putting into 1.6 between the release and then. 19:49:26 As a technician and according with what I see as consultant, just delivering a new release before the end/beginning of term is not ideal. People need times to install the new release test it, see how much work they have to plan for the update and then the training of their users/teachers. Having a new release, let say a couple of months before the end of term seems more reasonable to me. 19:49:29 If we're not moving to a time-based release strategy, what are our criteria for release? 19:50:11 dobedobedoh: basically the way we've done it is that we decide to freeze when we have the features we want 19:50:16 more or less 19:50:27 Do you have the features now? 19:50:37 but of course, we can always decide to push some to the next release 19:50:40 Where's the list of features? 19:50:42 we also need a window when there's not too much other work on 19:51:10 christmas/new year is good for that 19:51:57 pxh: yes, usually. but last new year that didn't work out too well :) 19:52:34 dobedobedoh: the list of features is in the git logs :) 19:52:53 and on the 1.5.0 milestone on the tracker 19:53:38 As dajan has said, its a mixed bag releasing too close to the term start/end anyway 19:54:22 I guess we don't have to decide today, but would it be fair to say that the freeze will happen sometime between Feb and Apr? 19:54:24 so if there is enough for a release i'd say release ;-) 19:54:38 freeze even 19:55:06 ditto 19:55:07 but in a way i don't think amking it too random is good because then people can't really plan 19:55:10 dan_p: that's my opinion too, but i'm not really too worried 19:56:01 anitsirk: that's an argument for time-based releases but nobody was really keen last time we discussed that as far as I recall 19:56:02 anitsirk: well, they shouldn't rely too much on our plans anyway. we've certainly disappointed in the past 19:56:33 I would have thought it was more healthy for a project to release frequently - it gives it a sense of life 19:56:40 then we can only do better :-) 19:56:44 pxh: agreed, that was my thought 19:56:45 Fair few bugs targetted for 1.5 not yet committed: http://goo.gl/jTQJk 19:56:47 pxh: i agree 19:57:52 ok, so quick poll: what month do you think we should freeze? (Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr) 19:58:17 Dec/Jan get my vote 19:58:20 march / april 19:58:23 I vote for Apr 19:58:26 * richardm votes to decide later 19:58:28 dec/jan 19:58:28 i would like to see skin support in - so i'd say mar 19:58:31 Feb/March 19:58:47 I'd like to get web services in if possible - the restructuring for core has been done but it needs to go through the acceptance process 19:58:57 jan 19:58:58 if that were possible then dec/jan 19:59:24 Meaning that from Freeze to Release we must count about 2-3 months for beta testing and stabilization? 19:59:25 I think Jan is good for those of us involved in Moodle - gives us 1 month after their release for things to calm down first 19:59:26 pxh: i think you might want to vote for a later month then :) 19:59:55 dajan: approximately. it depends on what bugs we find in the frozen release branch 20:00:11 fmarier_: the longer I wait the longer I have to maintain two versions ... 20:00:26 true 20:00:42 In Europe is think it is important institutions can play with a final release on May the later 20:01:14 hi 20:01:23 hi 20:01:24 any people? 20:01:25 #info quick dodgy poll results for opinions on freeze date: dec/jan 4, feb/mar/april 3, 20:01:26 hi alberto 20:01:26 hi 20:01:28 or wether the later they will skip a release to the next one. My opinion. 20:02:09 feb/mar/apr 4 - my count 20:02:24 #undo 20:02:24 Removing item from minutes: 20:02:27 i am working in customizing mahara, and i like to show only friends in the invite group form, can anybody help me? 20:02:30 #info quick dodgy poll results for opinions on freeze date: dec/jan 4, feb/mar/april 4 20:02:50 and i've got: Dec: 3, Jan: 3, Feb: 1, Mar: 3, Apr: 2 20:03:19 ok that's better 20:03:23 #undo 20:03:23 Removing item from minutes: 20:03:26 No pool tools in IRC :-) 20:03:32 too bad, dajan 20:03:45 #info votes for freeze dates: Dec: 3, Jan: 3, Feb: 1, Mar: 3, Apr: 2 20:03:50 i am late, but there is a log of this chat? 20:03:54 i guess, we'll have to update the meeting host guide to include a link to an easy poll ;-) 20:03:59 alberto: http://meetbot.mahara.org/mahara-dev/2011/mahara-dev.2011-11-08-19.31.log.txt 20:04:00 alberto, you've dropped in the middle of the meeting. please stay to the end or ask that question in the forum... 20:04:02 alberto: there will be at the end of the meeting 20:04:34 ok, shall we move on? 20:04:43 just a sec please 20:05:12 so to summarize: if somebody asks in a presentation etc., i could say that 1.5 will be released in the first half of 2012, right? 20:05:36 (without mentioning any concrete month) 20:05:41 s/will be released/is targeted/ 20:05:55 anitsirk: i think that's highly likely, but yes, it's always good to promise nothing 20:05:59 we don't promise a release date, we promise a freeze date (once we have one) 20:06:06 sounds good, fmarier_ thanks 20:06:18 #topic Handling security issues (Francois) 20:06:31 right, that's going to be a quick one 20:06:52 but it's basically just a reminder that the process for filing security bugs is slightly different from normal ones 20:07:09 you can put them on the tracker if you click the "this bug is a security bug" checkbox 20:07:17 and it will be hidden from the public 20:07:34 but if you are working on fixing it, patches should go as attachments on that private bug instead of gerrit 20:07:46 we review the patches manually on the tracker 20:07:59 and they get pulled in by the release script when we release 20:08:05 #info click the security checkbox when reporting a security issue on the tracker 20:08:15 #info patches should go as attachments on that private bug instead of gerrit 20:08:30 if you're unsure about what to do with it, don't discuss it on IRC, the forums, etc. just email security@mahara.org 20:08:41 .. 20:08:55 #info don't discuss it on IRC, the forums, etc. just email security@mahara.org 20:09:15 that lack of initial transparency is there because sometimes it takes a while to fix an issue 20:09:35 for example if we have to go through the entire codebase to make sure that the same problem doesn't exist elsewhere 20:09:39 .. 20:10:05 and be careful with make push 20:10:32 Is there any benefit to adding a hook to the Makefile to reject patches with security bugs in the subject without being from a member of the security team? 20:10:56 dobedobedoh: if you can think of a good way to do this, sure 20:11:03 I'll have a ponder 20:11:05 but i guess it's hard to get that from the commit message 20:11:15 unless there's a CVE number in there 20:11:26 but we usually get CVE numbers pretty late in the process 20:11:27 .. 20:11:40 But most commits include a bug number at some point within them 20:12:28 Anyhoo, I'll volunteer to have a go at playing with the Makefile 20:12:42 ok, cool 20:13:08 #action dobedobedoh to look at the possibility of adding a hook to the Makefile to reject patches with security bugs in the subject 20:13:27 any more on this topic? 20:13:51 not from me 20:13:57 #topic Future possibilities for flexible page designs - layouts and themes (Mike Kelly) 20:14:04 Hi all 20:14:09 hi mike 20:14:12 hi mikekelly_ 20:14:13 hi 20:14:22 hey 20:14:25 I hope this is the right forum to discuss this! 20:14:25 hi mikekelly_ 20:14:40 sure 20:14:46 I'm from an art and design institution, and the users are keen to have more control over page design in Mahara. They want to have magazine-type page layouts, rather than just column-based. (e.g. 1 long row, another row split into 3 cols, then another long row.) I'm wondering how we might push this forward with the dev community. We have some money but not lots and lots. We would prefer to see a change like this happening in core 20:15:14 hello world 20:15:31 * waawaamilk has a thought on flexible page layouts 20:15:36 hi waawaamilk 20:15:37 I'm also not sure what the status is of custom themes, so any info on that would be great. 20:15:54 I also want to add some info 20:16:13 you guys should just go to absolute positioning for all objects 20:16:24 browser support is now pretty much assured 20:16:35 and it gives far more precise and creative possibilities 20:16:42 not to mention, the drag & drop is way easier 20:17:06 how would that work with window resizing? 20:17:07 if people want columns, just provide a snap-to-grid effect 20:17:13 One factor to consider is LEAP2A 20:17:19 #info waawaamilk reckons we should go for absolute positioning for all objects, it's the way of the future 20:17:30 hur 20:17:39 I'd also like to see some options for pages with row separation 20:18:02 Did anyone see my forum thread on this? 20:19:05 mikekelly_: yes, i noticed it, but didnt have any bright ideas at the time 20:19:08 I wondered about adding rows to the page, each with a specified column number... 20:19:11 window resizing: my initial thought is that you shouldn't be allowing too much width for resizing - you gain nothing by having the windows so flexible that people can destroy the layout by making it too wide _or_ too narrow 20:19:32 Seemed like an incremental approach rather than completely reinventing what is already there. 20:19:53 Having a way of adding a row of columns seems the way forward 20:20:07 #link http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=3925 20:20:22 Thanks rkabalin 20:21:12 fwiw, that sounds like it will result in more complication for the end user 20:22:06 so does anyone feel like volunteering to hack this together & try it out? either absolute positioning or rows? 20:22:38 it could be fun, but would need to find some time 20:23:04 I can contribute some time on this but I'm not so up to speed on your dev practices 20:24:13 mikekelly_: i guess some kind of proof of concept on a test site would be a good start 20:24:17 In a enduser perspective (pupil, students) I think the rows approach is more accessible and more easy to manage than totally free relative positioning bucks. 20:24:54 richardm - yes I'm sure I could put something together like that, time permitting 20:25:28 ok, after that it's really a matter of learning git & pushing your patches through gerrit yourself, or convincing/bribing a core developer to do it 20:25:49 Yes, I'm using git already 20:25:49 it is a hard task... 20:25:53 we can certainly help with that last part 20:26:00 bribing i mean ;) 20:26:08 : ) 20:26:50 waawaamilk I am not completely sold on the rows approach but it doesn't need to appear complex to the end user. 20:26:57 I try to keep in mind what is a portfolio for. It is a reflexive tool to provide evidence of learning (formal and informal), for me it is not a web page builder tool. But I agree that we need a bit more flexibility in arranging the information on the pages. 20:26:59 #info mikekelly_ will put together a test instance with rows in views, or absolute positioning of all blocks, if he gets time 20:27:14 At the simplest level they could just have more options on the layout page. 20:27:31 It is a bit out of this toppic, but I just wanted to share tis 20:27:38 one good reason for going a different way is that you can throw out all that horrid view code I wrote with mochikit in 2007 20:27:42 dajan - agreed, but for a graphic designer form is content 20:27:46 or at least, you can solidly deprecate it 20:28:17 <_anzeljg_> I'm extending custom skins to include support for Google Web Fonts. This should give more design possibilities. A qucik screenshot of the work in progress: http://goo.gl/l1Bnl 20:28:18 and yeah, I agree with mikekelly_ over dajan - snap to grid can give you more rigid layouts if you want, while allowing art students to go to town like they would in a real portfolio 20:29:10 #info anzeljg is extending custom skins with Google Web Fonts 20:29:24 If doing something more modern, I recommend looking at modernizr and polyfills.. 20:29:34 Nice anzeljg - we have added web fonts to our Mahara too, not Google Fonts yet though 20:29:35 also, regarding the variable width thing - it occurs to me that it won't matter too much, people on wide screens might make a wideish portfolio which would appear with a scrollbar on narrower screens 20:29:39 no big deal 20:29:56 if you set a min and max width you can control the amount of "crazy" that this might otherwise result in 20:30:23 mikekelly_: I agree. I also teach in a school of art in Lausanne. But I want Mahara remain simple to use to kids as for grown up arties 20:30:47 dajan: you could go the absolute way without throwing out the pre-set templates 20:31:06 if it were done in a clever enough way :)_ 20:31:16 dajan: yes. I like simple surface but depth for those who want it. 20:32:18 waawaamilk: in that case. Yes of course. We need more freedom, but having preset is important for basic users. Thanks to point that out. The two features can be combined. Don't know why I challenged one against the other so far. Sorry 20:32:26 anyways, I assume the one that will be done is the one that someone bothers to code, just thought I'd float that idea :) 20:32:34 * dobedobedoh thinks we need some mockups too 20:32:38 I would love to try an absolute position version if someone could put it together 20:32:45 dajan: all good, I don't want to hate on your opinion :) 20:33:09 waawaamilk: indeed and i'm looking forward to seeing your version ;) 20:33:15 herp derp 20:33:23 I was just doing something similar for buzzumi 20:33:26 only one block though 20:33:50 it's so easy with jquery + plugins these days, you'd get rid of so much code 20:34:22 #info everyone wants more flexible page layouts in mahara! 20:34:33 ok, any more comments on this topic? 20:34:42 I am ok 20:35:05 not from I 20:35:06 Would anyone be able to update me on custom skins 20:35:08 ? 20:35:45 mikekelly_: anzeljg's patch hasn't been reviewed yet 20:36:05 <_anzeljg_> i've created option for users to create their own skins for views in 1.3 20:36:27 Do you think it will be integrated into 1.5 20:36:28 we're still hoping to do it (and are looking for funding for it) but can't promise anything 20:36:32 <_anzeljg_> the skins are created with web forms 20:36:59 <_anzeljg_> mike, please contact me tomorrow about this... 20:37:10 OK, will do. 20:37:21 <_anzeljg_> gregor dot anzelj at gmail dot com 20:37:27 #topic Request for development docs (Dajan) 20:37:28 mikekelly_: that depends on two things: someone taking the time to go through it, and also when the freeze for 1.5 happens 20:37:47 it would be nice if it were though 20:37:54 lots of people are asking for it 20:37:54 Is skins and the previous subject not linked ? 20:37:54 OK Gregor 20:38:06 #undo 20:38:06 Removing item from minutes: 20:38:15 sorry about that 20:38:58 any more under flexible page layouts and/or skins? 20:39:10 <_anzeljg_> not from me 20:39:12 Not here 20:39:15 Not from me 20:39:23 ok, lets go to the next one 20:39:26 #topic Request for development docs (Dajan) 20:40:17 Yes. My request was about the continuous development of the docs. This is important to me to be able to answer to conferences participant about what happens next. 20:40:44 At the moment it is possible to have an idea of what is going on, by translating the strings (it's what I do) 20:40:47 Reading the git 20:40:56 Reading the tracker 20:41:29 ideally, the user documentation is developed in parallel to when features are targeted for 1.5. unfortunately, i'm still on the documentation of 1.4 and lagging behind (i think i need a couple of weeks off to have it done) 20:41:33 But the information is unstructured and difficult to assemble for Mahara advocate who want to speak about for coming features. 20:41:56 dajan: Are you talking about a roadmap? 20:42:29 #info it would be useful to have up to date docs to talk to conference participants, but current info is unstructured & difficult to assemble 20:42:35 dan_p: i think he's talking about new features that are done (as opposed to just planned) 20:42:38 I look regularly at the roadmap, but it seems to me it is not up-to-date and not updated on the regular flow of development 20:42:45 Our current roadmap ends at 1.4: https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/Roadmap 20:43:03 i think the page specifications in development https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/Developer_Area/Specifications_in_Development gives some idea about what will be in 1.5. it means though that it must be updated when something is implemented. however, i think mostly big features are on this list. 20:43:17 fmarier: yes I do. I speak about the features they are to be tested in the dev version. 20:43:31 the roadmap should be more of less ignored as it's out of date 20:43:37 there is no real roadmap as it depends very much who is willing to sponsor new features for mahara. they get then put into the new release. 20:44:27 so in a way what you'd like to see is the release notes for 1.5.0, assuming we were updating them as we're adding new features, right ? 20:44:43 anitsirk: I am planning a training in Rennes in two weeks and will present also already done features of the 1.5dev. So I have a start if we want some docs about it. 20:45:20 fmarier_: I am happy to help on this. 20:45:46 sounds great, dajan. 20:46:19 one thing that would be good to do as well is to perhaps link to that page from the newsletter, mentioning the new features that were added since the last newsletter 20:46:42 that can be done easily, fmarier_ 20:46:42 (not trying to add more work on anitsirk's plate, just mentioning / linking to stuff that's written already) 20:46:42 fmarier_: good idea 20:47:05 hehe. thanks. no linking would be easy and i could also write a short text if i don't have enough articles 20:47:52 so how are we going to compile the feature list from the tracker/git? 20:48:10 #idea by fmarier_ : link to a list of upcoming features (constantly updated release notes) in the quarterly newsletter to keep community informed about these 20:48:19 * _anzeljg_ has to go... bye all. 20:48:24 bye anzeljg 20:48:29 bye my friend 20:48:31 see you 20:48:32 bye _anzeljg_ 20:48:34 bye _anzeljg_ thanks for coming 20:48:35 bye 20:49:57 dajan: shall we chat or skype about the documentation? i read your email. 20:50:30 what if add some tag on the bug reports that are for new important features? 20:50:37 happy to do that. But maybe not today, I have a lot of school work to finish before the end of the evening. 20:50:52 dajan: that's fine. let's take it off-meeting to find a time 20:51:19 we could start adding [FEATURE ....] or [BUG ....] to the commit line? 20:51:29 anitsirk: thank you for not saying "let's take it offline" ;) 20:51:31 as is done in other projects 20:51:52 hugh_home: that's a bit noisy, a feature can consist of a ton of commits (and/or reverts of those) 20:51:58 richardm: it's not just the important features. for the user documentation we would need all new features. sometimes finding them is not so easy esp. if there are only subtle changes. thus, having a list with all new features would be great. but that might be possible in launchpad, right? 20:52:07 yeh, that makes sense 20:52:11 i think something to do with the tracker is likely to be more relevant 20:52:16 or easier to handle anyways 20:52:29 I guess if the tracker has all the features set to wishlist 20:52:33 anitsirk: i'm trying to think of a tag on bugs that would alert the person who's compiling the list 20:52:48 the fact that we have all of the new features on the tracker now does make that task quite a bit easier i think 20:52:48 then we can do some magic to get features from bug no in commit msg 20:52:54 because you can ignore git 20:53:12 ah yes, silly me, you don't need git to do it :P 20:53:17 mhh. sure. tag sounds good. it's another possibility to find something easier and it's easy enough to add. :-) 20:54:01 'releasenotes', maybe? 20:54:19 lets have a try with the tag. Happy with it 20:54:24 but then you would at some point come up with the notes for 1.5 and 1.6 20:54:30 sounds good 20:54:46 i think it should be releasenotes15 or so to distinguish the releases 20:54:47 anitsirk: the "fix released" bugs are hidden by default 20:55:07 so you're not going to have releasnotes-tagged bugs for both 1.5 and 1.6 at the same time 20:55:12 you can probably search for bugs by tag and milestone 20:55:34 richardm: yes I think you can 20:55:35 ok. that sounds good then 20:56:13 I personally like the [FEATURE] or [NEW-FEATURE] tag 20:56:22 #info we'll try tagging all bugs that should go in the release notes 20:56:59 richardm: i'd say "new features" instead of "bugs" 20:57:07 ah true 20:57:34 ok, let's make it a feature tag 20:57:40 but this is the bug-tracker, right. So richardm you are forgiven 20:58:51 dajan: yeah the line between a bug and a feature is sometimes blurry :) 20:59:10 :D 20:59:16 true that 20:59:17 fmarier_: correct one add many :-) 20:59:50 We seem to have lost our chair! 21:00:09 I have to leave now - bye everyone and thanks for the feedback. 21:00:10 Houston we have a problem. We lost the leader 21:00:24 mikekelly: Thanks for joining us :) 21:00:32 sorry about that 21:00:33 bye 21:00:39 bye mikekelly_ 21:00:42 bye mikekelly_ 21:00:50 bye mikekelly 21:01:14 so where were we? 21:01:27 Shall we go this way. I also have to leave you soon. 21:01:36 did anyone volunteer to go through & add the feature tags for the 1.5 milestone? 21:02:09 it sounds like dajan already has a list for the new features so far, so i guess we only need to tag the new bugs for 1.5 21:02:17 "new features", even :) 21:02:27 Happy to give a hand, but I don't have the right to access the git at this level. Do I? 21:02:46 dajan: it's just launchpad i think 21:02:54 dajan: anybody can add tags to the tracker 21:03:31 Cool. I will start to do that by the end next week. Ok with you? 21:03:39 ok, great 21:03:52 but i guess whoever marks the bug as fix committed can add the tag too 21:04:04 #info dajan to start adding feature tags to bugs in the 1.5 milestone 21:04:18 What is the tag we will use? 21:04:20 and probably should so that it's done in one go and doesn't get forgotten 21:04:29 #info everyone to start adding feature tags when setting bugs to fix committed (when it's a feature) 21:04:59 We have to _define_ this tag before all 21:05:09 dajan: you can choose, seeing as you're doing the work! 21:05:45 Fine. Willco 21:06:07 Report about this in the next meeting 21:06:15 ok 21:06:44 #action dajan to report on tagging existing 1.5 features on the tracker 21:06:53 #topic Next meeting and chair 21:07:05 #idea Wednesday 7th December @ 07:30 UTC (07:30 GMT/20:30 NZDT) 21:07:06 http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20111207T0730 21:07:14 i could be keen to chair 21:07:37 #info hugh_home to chair the next meeting 21:07:39 richardm: that doesn't work. we'll have zoodoo 21:07:39 thanks hugh_home 21:07:45 Wednesdays aren't so good for us any more :( meeting clash 21:07:48 anitsirk: good point 21:07:50 richardm: bad date (zoodoo) 21:07:51 yeh i was just checking when zoodoo was 21:07:55 how about Tuesday? 21:08:02 Tuesdays wfm 21:08:11 for those non-catalyst people: zoodoo is our annual christmas party held in the wellington zoo :-) 21:08:25 * dobedobedoh was wondering! 21:08:25 #idea Tuesday 6th December @ 07:30 UTC (07:30 GMT/20:30 NZDT) 21:08:44 +1 21:08:55 +1 21:09:06 +1 21:09:07 -1 21:09:23 wfm 21:09:31 +1 21:09:34 Ok will try +1 but not sure yet 21:09:47 anitsirk: good to know, the first link I found was http://www.zoodoo.co.nz :)) 21:09:58 #link http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20111206T0730 21:10:02 ha, i remember that stuff :P 21:10:22 lol 21:10:24 yeah i don't know why they changed the spelling from zoodo to zoodoo 21:10:25 Oh drat, sorry I'm late, I forgot all about it 21:10:35 I have to go now.
