Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. 07:41:27 Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic. 07:41:29 Seems that one of the irc nodes was down and supybot isn't very good at DNS roundrobin failover 07:41:35 Welcome to the 15th Mahara Developer Meeting. If you could please start a new line with #info and state your name and location please. 07:41:49 #info anitsirk = Kristina Hoeppner, Catalyst IT, Wellington, NZ 07:41:51 #info anzeljg is Gregor Anzelj, translator and developer, Ljubljana, Slovenia 07:41:52 #info Andrew Nicols - Lancaster University 07:41:58 #info fmarier is Francois Marier 07:42:04 #info richardm is Richard Mansfield, Catalyst IT, Wellington, New Zealand 07:42:09 #info Ruslan Kabalin - Lancaster University, UK 07:42:24 #info elky is melissa draper, Catalyst IT 07:42:44 #topic Items from last meeting 07:43:08 #info all action items were related to checking bugs before freezing mahara 1.5. thus nothing to report. 07:43:20 #topic Triggers in Mahara (Richard) 07:43:24 over to you, richardm 07:43:28 we have an RC, yay! 07:43:43 round of applause for elky 07:43:51 oh. sorry. pop. that was the champagne cork :-) 07:43:59 Well done! 07:43:59 yay me! 07:44:03 yay! 07:44:06 Ace :) Well done all 07:44:07 anitsirk: drinking in the office? ;-) 07:44:13 nope. i'm at home 07:44:20 Don't drink and root ;) 07:44:38 :-) 07:45:02 So with the triggers, I just wanted to mention that we have a function to create db triggers, should anyone need them 07:45:18 Thanks to rkabalin_'s review :) 07:45:22 #info mahara has a function to create db triggers if needed 07:46:02 richardm: what sort of things do you expect triggers will be useful for? 07:46:12 I guess I don't need to say much more, if you feel like you need to use them, read the function in lib/dml.php 07:46:22 but for our case 07:47:01 after a ton of toing & froing we decided to cache counts of unread notifications in the user table 07:47:22 (because reading the notification_internal_activity was generating tons of slow queries) 07:48:19 so i guess it's useful when a db field's value is completely determined by some other thing in the db 07:49:00 i'm not aware of anything else we should use them for yet, but people should know they're there 07:49:01 How do we upgrade if trigger needs to be changed 07:49:03 ? 07:49:03 .. 07:49:11 drop & recreate 07:49:38 OK, that is how I expected 07:50:09 .. 07:50:15 #info If a trigger needs to be changed, you drop and recreate 07:50:15 so there's a db_drop_trigger function which is not used anywhere yet 07:50:25 but that's what you need to use 07:50:45 .. 07:50:48 #info the db_drop_trigger function would need to be used for that 07:51:13 that's all from me, anitsirk 07:51:30 any other questions or comments for this topic before we move on? 07:51:55 fmarier: you are up next. 07:51:56 #topic Upstream status of Dwoo (Francois) 07:51:57 #info https://twitter.com/#!/seldaek/status/167546484865241088 triggered the topic 07:51:57 nothing from me 07:51:58 #link https://twitter.com/#!/seldaek/status/167546484865241088 07:52:29 indeed, Mjollnir` told us that she was looking for a new maintainer for the dwoo debian package and pointed to that tweet 07:53:13 so i guess the question is: if dwoo is not going to be maintained much in the future, should we keep using it or should we look at switching to something else? 07:53:28 * fmarier doesn't know much about other php templating systems 07:53:41 #info Mjollnir` was looking for a new maintainer for the dwoo debian package 07:53:46 We could maintain it as a part of Mahara 07:54:07 yeah, that's an option. we did that with pieforms 07:54:08 (not as standalone thing) 07:54:27 #help: if dwoo is not going to be maintained much in the future, should we keep using it or should we look at switching to something else? 07:54:32 we could switch to the new one that seldaek is working on if/when we need to 07:54:39 We've already changed the templating engine underneath people once, and it can be quite expensive for our users to rewrite their customisations :\ 07:54:39 i forget what it's called 07:54:51 richardm: ah, that's why he's dropping dwoo? 07:55:08 yeah he has a blog post on it somewhere 07:55:16 dobedobedoh: except that last time we didn't really have to change much when we switched away from smarty 07:55:21 true 07:55:47 are they any big templating systems for php or is it just homebrewed things from various developers? 07:56:04 #idea we could switch but that could be expensive to rewrite customizations 07:56:48 fmarier, not that i can think of off the top of my head 07:57:00 #help are there any big templating systems for php or is it just homebrewed things from various developers? 07:57:20 I think we should keep Dwoo, as it entirely meets our requirements at the moment and maintain it as a part of Mahara. If someone wants to use it separately, that person could easily do that 07:57:36 ok, well, i don't have much more to say on this topic. we don't have an immediate action to take on this, but i just wanted to throw it out there 07:57:57 #idea from rkabalin_ : I think we should keep Dwoo, as it entirely meets our requirements at the moment and maintain it as a part of Mahara. 07:58:24 do we have to action something right away or would something have to go on to the more long term todo list? 07:58:50 i think rkabalin_'s suggestion of doing nothing until we have a good reason to switch is fine 07:59:00 review the situation at the beginning of each cycle, probably 07:59:10 I think I found it: http://symfony.com/ 07:59:12 fmarier: yeap, that what I meant 07:59:28 review the situation if we learn of a better templating system and bring it up at a meeting 07:59:39 symfony is a whole framework i think 07:59:41 ah yeah symfony, that's the one 07:59:47 sumfony is MVC framework, not just a templating thingy 07:59:50 that's more than a templating engine by the looks 07:59:55 symfony is a whole framework 07:59:58 yeah, that would be a massive rewrite of mahara :) 08:00:01 do you agree on what rkabalin_ suggested and fmarier summarized? 08:00:03 (It's quite nice to use) 08:00:04 yeahno 08:00:13 anitsirk: yea, I agree 08:00:22 here 08:00:30 it's twig that he switched to 08:00:53 it's included in symfony but it's also a standalone templating system 08:00:54 Mjollnir`: any idea what the reason for the switch is? 08:01:21 i guess he got involved in symfony for other reasons anyway 08:01:27 #link http://twig.sensiolabs.org/ 08:01:27 #link http://twig.sensiolabs.org/ 08:01:32 that looks nice 08:01:38 fwiw, i really like twig 08:01:45 i'll create a wishlist bug for it 08:02:03 Looks like it wouldn't be to much of a switch, and hopefully it would be maintained if it's being used with symfony 08:02:20 but moving from smarty to dwoo we didn't change any templates really. otoh we didn't really take advantage of using dwoo over smarty for that reason ... 08:02:45 yeah the only advantage we got out of using dwoo was the auto-escaping 08:02:57 yeah. 08:03:10 but jordi is not doing releases iirc, you'd have to track git 08:03:15 #action fmarier to create a wishlist bug for twig as templating system 08:04:21 lack of security support at some point in the future might be a reason to switch 08:04:33 #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/966001 08:04:35 Mjollnir`: do you reckon jordi would be keen to do the work switch mahara to twig (like he did with dwoo) 08:04:35 Launchpad bug 966001 in mahara "Switch templating system from dwoo to twig" [Wishlist,Triaged] 08:04:53 richardm: no 08:05:05 richardm: i don't think jordi is directly involved in twig at all 08:05:13 he's just not maintaining dwoo anymore because he's using symfony 08:06:18 If we do a rewrite, we should stop calling the template engine $smarty 08:07:14 Mybe we should call it $template (in cas we switch again in the future)? 08:07:35 or $notsmarty ;-) 08:07:47 anyways, that's all i had 08:07:48 I'm thinking $templator or something akin 08:07:51 twig syntax is based on whatever django uses for templates by the way 08:07:59 thank you very much Mjollnir` for jumping in 08:08:13 I suggest to keep it $smarty :) 08:08:16 * fmarier loves Django 08:08:24 For historical reasons 08:08:39 uh oh 08:08:42 http://fabien.potencier.org/article/34/templating-engines-in-php 08:08:46 so, everyone will keep asking why it is called smarty :) 08:09:01 sorry. back again 08:09:10 #link http://fabien.potencier.org/article/34/templating-engines-in-php 08:10:00 fmarier: no worries, you highlight me, i appear :) 08:10:00 shall we move on? 08:10:10 * Mjollnir` goes back to idling 08:10:15 sure 08:10:22 Mjollnir`: thanks for stopping by 08:10:26 yup 08:10:29 http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/FAQ2#Who.27s_that_Smarty_guy.3F 08:10:44 #topic Should CIA commit go on #mahara-dev? (Francois) 08:10:44 #info http://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/2012/03/watching-gerrit-merges-on-irc-using.html for background reading on the topic 08:10:45 #link http://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/2012/03/watching-gerrit-merges-on-irc-using.html 08:10:58 fmarier: you are up again :-) 08:11:12 +1 for me on this 08:11:25 so that's a quick one: #mahara-commits currently has notices whenever something is merged from gerrit 08:11:35 should we move these notices to #mahara-dev ? 08:11:39 this is really cool :-) 08:11:44 or do people prefer a separate channel for them ? 08:11:50 .. 08:12:01 #info #mahara-commits currently has notices whenever something is merged from gerrit 08:12:02 We used to have them on #mahara-dev and I think it helped to keep up with what was going on 08:12:12 i was thinking about putting maharabug in there to catch the bug numbers in the commit lines, this would be better i think 08:12:23 anybody object? 08:12:29 not me 08:12:34 I agree 08:12:34 nope 08:12:58 ok, then I guess I get an action to move it to the other channel :) 08:13:07 #agreed CIA commits currently on #mahara-cmmits move to #mahara-dev 08:13:22 #action fmarier to move CIA commits from #mahara-commits to #mahara-dev 08:13:54 then let's go to the next topic, fmarier and richardm 08:13:56 #topic Update on how we give access to new translators (Francois & Richard) 08:14:24 tip: if you put an #info at the beginning of your line, you won't have me repeating you ;-) 08:14:48 FBI is missing... 08:14:54 heh 08:15:06 that was my action item :) 08:15:13 i know! 08:15:18 mayeb i should rename maharabug, anzeljg? 08:15:29 cool 08:15:43 and what will 007 do? 08:15:44 then we'll have the whole DHS with us 08:16:56 so, back to the translations? 08:16:58 fmarier and richardm: do you need a translator for the current topic? ;-) 08:17:08 mogoče pa res.. 08:17:51 Richard and I have been discussing what might be the best way to assign translators to languages for Mahara 08:18:15 with the goal of attracting new translators if possible 08:18:39 elky, dobedobedoh and I also discussed that a few days ago 08:19:01 that was a fun evening. 08:19:18 richardm can correct me if i'm wrong but the long term goal is to make the translation group either open or to assign it to the Launchpad Translators group 08:19:43 fmarier: i thought you recommended Ubuntu Translators 08:20:10 #link https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-translators 08:20:21 richardm, launchpad-translators is even broader 08:20:27 richardm: no, this one is the one i was talking about 08:21:01 right, i noticed that for some languages, the ubuntu team is a member of the launchpad team, but for others, that's not the case 08:21:51 #idea make the translation group either open or assign it to the respective Launchpad Translators group 08:22:00 so ideally the owners of the mahara langpacks should be the teams in this list: https://translations.launchpad.net/+groups/launchpad-translators/ 08:22:09 because they're the most active translation groups 08:22:31 and we should encourage our existing translators or prospective translators to join these groups 08:22:51 #idea ideally the owners of the mahara langpacks should be the teams in this list: https://translations.launchpad.net/+groups/launchpad-translators/ because they are the most active translation groups 08:23:09 in some cases, the mahara translators prefer to have their own group. that's fine, but the default should be to use the existing launchpad groups i think 08:23:13 fmarier: that was very easy and quick in the german group. approval came within a day 08:23:42 anzeljg: as a translator, what do you think of that? 08:23:49 #info in some cases, the mahara translators prefer to have their own group. 08:23:59 anitsirk: yes, but i don't think it's like that for other languages, the portuguese one had ~40 pending members, so obviously harder to join it 08:24:13 lucky me :-) 08:24:50 richardm: did you have anything to add? 08:25:41 I think not every existing translatioer group will approve membership in Mahara langpacks 08:25:53 anzeljg, incase you missed it: anzeljg: as a translator, what do you think of that? 08:26:01 rkabalin_: what do you mean by that? 08:26:20 nope, sounds good to me, i guess we just need to note that *everyone* has to agree to join the launchpad group before we could ever switch our translation group to Launchpad Translatorss 08:26:23 not every translation group will want to own the mahara translation? 08:26:39 i don't have problems - i don't need to own my mahara translation group 08:26:39 richardm: indeed 08:26:52 i would love to have somebody to translate it with me, but... 08:27:01 We want to make every existing lunchpad translators group a member of mahara translatoers, right? 08:27:14 anzeljg: you wouldn't mind joining the slovenian team on launchpad so that we could make it the owner of the mahara translation? 08:27:22 no problem 08:27:55 what's the language code for slovenian again? 08:27:59 #action anzeljg joins the slovenian team on launchpad so that we could make it the owner of the mahara translation 08:28:10 but i would still be the Slovenian Mahara maintainer??? 08:28:14 the code is sl 08:28:21 #link https://launchpad.net/~lp-l10n-sl 08:28:28 we could use that team 08:28:31 sl = Slovenina, si = Slovenia to be exact 08:28:45 sl =Slovenian, sorry 08:28:55 and yes, you'd still be the slovenian mahara translator, but anybody in that team could help out if they wanted 08:29:13 not translator, i meant maintainer 08:29:14 so would it be anzeljg who approves any items under "needs review"? 08:29:28 of course, we'd wait until you were in that team before switching it over :) 08:29:28 that's my question, thanks anitsirk 08:29:42 back to my point 08:29:45 anitsirk: i'm not sure how that works, i've never joined a team 08:29:49 i haven't quite figured that one out yet who can do what 08:29:52 (a translation team) 08:30:37 using Slovenian group example, may launchpad Slovenian group reject the ownership of Mahara translators? 08:30:40 I am waiting approval for "Slovenian Launchpad translation team" 08:30:50 mhh. because now that heinz is not the translator for the german lang pack anymore :-( we had a great number of people interested in helping out :-) Yippie. however, with so many new people i fear that we might get a bunch of inconsistencies in that could confuse users if there is no person to keep an eye on the big picture 08:31:52 #help who would approve lang strings marked for review in a translation if we assign the launchpad translators group as the owner of the mahara translation? 08:31:54 rkabalin_: it hasn't happened yet that a translation team asked to be removed 08:31:55 if anzeljg were to join the lp-l10n-sl team, he would be able to approve the stuff that needs reviewing, but so would anyone else on the team 08:32:43 #info anyone from a translation team can approve strings that need reviewing 08:32:56 you may add Russian one as well then, I am already a member of it, and remove Mahara Russian treanslators 08:33:14 if a translation maintainer notices that a translation team has lead to inconsistency and a lower quality of the translation, then we can always change it back to a Mahara-specific translation team 08:33:34 #info if a translation maintainer notices that a translation team has lead to inconsistency and a lower quality of the translation, then we can always change it back to a Mahara-specific translation team 08:33:51 fmarier: where do we see who the maintainer of a lang pack is? on the mahara translation page? 08:33:59 … in launchpad? 08:34:16 https://translations.launchpad.net/+groups/mahara-translation-group 08:35:02 rkabalin_: this one? https://launchpad.net/~lp-l10n-ru 08:35:09 if anzeljg joins the Slovenian translators, he wouldn't be mentioned anymore though. 08:35:41 no, we can still see which individuals have actually translated things 08:35:48 oh. i hope we don't kick anzeljg out when we mention his name 08:36:28 one question: what if I don't get approved, see: https://launchpad.net/~lp-l10n-sl/+members#active (application dates)? 08:36:31 fmarier: but we would not see which maharian feels most responsible 08:37:28 https://translations.launchpad.net/mahara-lang/trunk/+pots/mahara/sl/+details 08:37:50 anzeljg: we don't switch unless/until you're approved 08:37:53 fmarier: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-lang-ru < this one needs to be assigned instead of https://launchpad.net/~lp-l10n-ru 08:38:24 ok 08:38:25 ah, sorry ignore me 08:38:41 rkabalin_: i just switched them 08:38:51 it was the mahara one, now it's the lp one 08:39:03 https://translations.launchpad.net/mahara-lang/trunk/+pots/mahara/sl/+filter?person=gregor-anzelj 08:39:14 shows how many strings in the pot 08:39:54 #info the general launchpad russian translator team is now used for the russian mahara translation https://launchpad.net/~lp-l10n-ru 08:40:11 fmarier: instead of making action items for you i wait until you are done and give it an info ;-) 08:40:19 elky: cool, didn't know that it exists... 08:40:27 anitsirk: :) 08:40:32 anzeljg, :) 08:40:57 so we can tell the 5000 string translator from the 5 string translator :) 08:42:03 sorry ;) We just don't call them Resumes! 08:42:29 shall we agree that we use the general launchpad translators group for a lang pack unless there are reasons not to do so? 08:42:41 yup 08:42:44 +1 08:42:54 anitsirk: groups (plural) 08:43:19 fmarier: can we assign multiple groups to one translation? 08:43:21 fmarier: don't even start ;) 08:43:22 not to be confused with Launchpad Translators which we need everybody to agree to 08:43:48 sorry, not groups, but rather, teams 08:44:09 translation group = list of assignments between language and team 08:44:26 #rephrase: we we use the general launchpad translators teams for the mahara lang packs unless there are reasons not to do so 08:44:44 so we'll use the most active lp teams for each language unless there's a reason for using a different one for a given mahara translation 08:45:08 * fmarier is being pedantic 08:45:21 fmarier: no much better and to the point 08:45:52 #agreed we'll use the most active launchpad teams for each language unless there's a reason for using a different one for a given mahara translation 08:46:36 and many thanks to all the translators who have so far shouldered all strings themselves (and many will probably continue to do so) 08:46:56 +1 to that 08:47:10 translators are awesome 08:47:34 +1 08:47:39 you guys are awesome too 08:47:44 and you can find them by tripping over people in other places on the internet. 08:47:56 btw, I guess I failed to follow that policy today when I assigned the finnish guy individually, but I also sent him an email to ask him what he wants 08:48:16 waiting on a reply at the moment 08:48:31 you should probably suggest the lp-l10n-fi team if it exists 08:48:56 has he updated the translation recently? 08:49:05 i thought ar and fi were very out of date 08:49:12 Yep, that's the team i suggested 08:49:38 anything else on this topic? 08:49:40 He has a habit of doing it once, every time his site upgrades 08:50:03 nope 08:50:16 would be good to give other people the ability to help out in between releases then 08:51:12 oh btw, everyone's fallen behind greek for completeness 08:51:19 they're at 100% 08:51:34 thing is, not all languages need the full 100% 08:51:37 e.g. english 08:51:55 but there are more people translation nto greek, and only one guy to translate to slovenian + develop thinkgs ;) 08:52:06 translationg into... 08:52:10 .. 08:52:12 ;) 08:52:23 * fmarier is done 08:52:25 i can't type anymore! 08:52:39 then let's move on :-) 08:52:39 #topic Next meeting and Chair 08:52:40 What about April 24, 2012 at 19:30 UTC? http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=16th+Mahara+Developer+Meeting&iso=20120424T1930 08:52:41 I know this is very early for most in NZ, but with the daylight savings time changes going later might be tough on anzeljg and potentially others in his time zone 08:53:27 I have small kids and need to get them to bed, so it should be fine 08:53:48 could you add Ljubljana/Slovenia into that list? 08:54:30 anzeljg: it's a proprietary service we don't control, so we can't change anything on there 08:54:38 :( 08:54:46 anzeljg: sorry. i can't edit that list 08:54:57 * anzeljg understands... 08:55:02 april 24th is fine with me 08:55:06 Works for me 08:55:09 i must say, i do like their redesign 08:55:11 anzeljg: would 30 min. later then be ok. i think some here might like that better ;-) 08:55:18 Do we have enough to discuss to still hold monthly meets, or should we consider less frequent? 08:55:23 no problem for me... 08:55:56 it could be every 6 weeks 08:56:05 agree 08:56:06 +1 08:56:22 unless we want to keep the meeting time short to about 1 hour 08:56:48 today's list of topics seems to be the right length and we are just a bit over 1 hour 08:56:53 that's another very good idea: frequent meetings but strict cap on number of hours 08:57:03 s/hours/minutes/ 08:57:18 i prefer shorter but more focused meetings instead of 2 hour ones 08:57:18 i agree on about 1 hour per meeting 08:57:35 +1 08:57:42 +1 08:58:00 so we need the next chair to be a very strict one ;) 08:58:15 back to the question then though: still the 24th or 2 weeks later? 08:58:34 24th at 20:00 UTC 08:58:49 #idea http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=16th+Mahara+Developer+Meeting&iso=20120424T20 08:59:13 Good for me 08:59:29 wfm 08:59:33 +1 08:59:38 +1 08:59:44 and i might be able to report from the MUG meeting that's 2 hours before then 09:00:06 #agreed: next meeting will be on April 24, 2012 at 20:00 UTC http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=16th+Mahara+Developer+Meeting&iso=20120424T20 09:00:16 #help who wants to be chair? 09:00:29 elky? 09:00:53 at 8am? :( 09:01:05 I can try 09:01:53 any other takers? once we suggested that the chair should come from a time zone when s/he is comfortable and not asleep ;-) 09:02:09 a wise idea 09:02:17 ehm that was usually the evening for the chair in any time zone 09:02:43 anitsirk: what are you trying to tell 09:02:52 that doesn't sound right but i hope you get my drift. clearly, the evening is not for me. 09:02:53 I can take it 09:03:06 woot! 09:03:14 anzeljg: heh. that's what i had feared. 09:03:38 NZ is usually wider awake in the evening, thus we chair the meetings that fall early morning for you. 09:03:52 It means that the chair doesn't have to get up super early to prepare 09:04:08 no, no... 09:04:16 and gets coffee before they have to try run a meeting 09:04:18 dobedobedoh: thank you. may i take that as an agreed? 09:04:28 if that's fine with everyone else 09:04:30 I thought I was the only one in that timezone, so she was thinking of me ;) 09:05:01 I am in that timezone as well :) 09:05:12 silly me 09:05:14 anzeljg: you were the one super super late. that's why i didn't want to suggest a later time which would be better for NZ. but now we had already moved on to the chair :-) 09:05:50 rkabalin_ did you move? 09:06:02 no, I am in the UK 09:06:07 rkabalin_ is sat opposite me ;) 09:06:14 ah, one hour behind anzeljg ;-) 09:06:24 1hr is close enough 09:06:29 ;) 09:06:52 ok. i don't see any objections to dobedobedoh chairing the next meeting. 09:07:02 ekly: we can keep you in mind for the one after that ;-) 09:07:23 see also: http://xkcd.com/448/ 09:07:35 #agreed: dobedobedoh is going to chair the 16th Mahara Developer Meeting. 09:07:41 #topic Any other business 09:07:53 i have a quick one 09:07:57 i have one too 09:08:06 #info The 5th Newsletter will be out on April 1.
