|---|---|---|
| SRabbelier | Erant: oh dear, you passed a class again? | 04:18 |
| Erant | Yes. | 04:19 |
| Erant | AGAIN. | 04:19 |
| SRabbelier | Erant: me got a 7 | 04:19 |
| SRabbelier | Erant: you? | 04:19 |
| Erant | I'm starting to get scared :( | 04:19 |
| Erant | Same | 04:19 |
| SRabbelier | Erant: nice | 04:19 |
| Erant | Oh well. I'll enjoy the good fortune while it lasts. It can't last long. :P | 04:20 |
| Erant | I'm just kinda wondering what our m$-fanboi got. | 04:21 |
| SRabbelier | Erant: d'ya think we passed the ethics paper too? | 04:21 |
| SRabbelier | Erant: lol, yes | 04:21 |
| Erant | I think so, 'cuz there's no extra entries for this course in the ISP thingy | 04:21 |

| SRabbelier | Erant: hehe | 04:26 |
| Erant | But I wanna look at Festo first. Or BMW, or Mercedes. | 04:26 |
| Erant | I gotta talk to that Operating Systems guy. He was saying a lot of stuff about automotive, if I remember correctly. | 04:26 |
| SRabbelier | Erant: lol, you want to make big money, no? :P | 04:28 |
| Erant | Not really. | 04:30 |
| Erant | I don't much care about money :) | 04:30 |
| SRabbelier | Erant: I see :P | 04:32 |
| SRabbelier | *cough* spain *cough* | 04:32 |
| SRabbelier | Erant: or was that not about the money? :P | 04:32 |

| solydzajs | Erant: I found nice sanitizer for HTML (including XSS) | 05:08 |
| solydzajs | Erant: and all the javascript in href , src etc | 05:08 |
| solydzajs | Erant: Festo looks interesting, I would go with BMW instead of Mercedes | 05:09 |
| solydzajs | Erant: I think they innovative much more | 05:09 |
| Erant | There's also Volvo, who does a lot of innovation. | 05:13 |
| Erant | Nice work on the javascript btw :) | 05:13 |
| Erant | I'll have a go at doing some malformed tags. | 05:14 |
| solydzajs | Erant: you are looking for a job or internship ? | 05:18 |
| Erant | Internship. | 05:20 |
| Erant | I'm kinda doubting what I want to do though. | 05:20 |
| Erant | Security or mechatronics | 05:21 |
| Erant | SRabbelier: So now that we have ethics, we should discuss the ethical side of Melange. | 05:40 |
| Erant | Or possibly my ethics. | 05:42 |
| SRabbelier | Erant: or possibly that you're not ethical? :p | 06:01 |
| Erant | That's not a point of discussion. | 06:06 |
| Erant | That's a fact. :P | 06:06 |
| SRabbelier | Erant: true enough :P | 06:09 |
| kblin | Erant: festo? aren't they into automation and hydraulics and stuff? | 06:12 |
| kblin | that name somehow rings a bell | 06:13 |
| SRabbelier | kblin: they are | 06:15 |
| Erant | kblin: Yup. | 06:19 |
| kblin | so I guess the gf talked about them :) | 06:20 |

| *** Sledge has joined #melange | 14:02 | |
| jameslevy | brainstorming the specifications for the news feed framework, and the goal is to do it in an elegant and generalized manner so a bunch of rules and exceptions won't need to be hacked on later | 14:06 |
| * jameslevy is quickly uploading a screengrab... | 14:06 | |
| jameslevy | http://bit.ly/VIAOS this is a simple concept mockup | 14:07 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: nice, do you have it past-... ah, nice | 14:07 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: what did you use to create this mockup? any code behind it, or just raw html? | 14:08 |
| jameslevy | None that produced this html :) | 14:08 |
| jameslevy | Although I've been working on a decorator that can be added to a handler to add any entitity changes to the news feed | 14:09 |
| jameslevy | I'm not sure yet if that would be the best method | 14:09 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: you should probably do that in _onCreate/_onModify in logic | 14:09 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: what kind of speficiations were you thinking on? | 14:10 |
| jameslevy | those are in helpers? | 14:10 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: they're defined and hooked in soc.logic.models.base | 14:12 |
| jameslevy | SRabbelier: Yes this would make sense for a good place for the hooks | 14:14 |
| jameslevy | It doesn't look like there's an auto-updating modified property for entities, but maybe they're not defined in the models classes? | 14:15 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: methinks the default _onCreate/_onModify methods we have now can add a call to some logic that checks if any feeds need to be updated | 14:15 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: they're not yet, no, but I was thinking of adding one, it's very convenient when wanting to keep up to date | 14:15 |
| *** arvind_khadri has quit IRC | 14:16 | |
| jameslevy | Assuming that it'll be relatively straightforward to add the hook to entity updates, the next step is permissions | 14:18 |
| *** Sledge__ has joined #melange | 14:18 | |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: make a 'spike solution' for that | 14:18 |
| jameslevy | The easiest way to do this would be to create a master news feed, and then add logic to the news feed view regarding permissions | 14:18 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: just try hooking something in _onCreate/_onModify and see if it works as expected | 14:19 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: I think that's the only way it'd ever scale well | 14:19 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: (rather than having each change to a document have to update multiple feeds at once) | 14:19 |
| jameslevy | SRabbelier: Absolutely agree | 14:19 |
| jameslevy | And then finally there's the possibility of allowing HTML templates to be used for customized story templates, but I think that can wait for now...ill just comment in how that would be implemented | 14:20 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: so what about acl? | 14:20 |
| jameslevy | I've worked with Django Granular Permissions before...thinking something like that | 14:21 |
| jameslevy | I want to design it to keep in the spirit of the existing methodologies of the codebase | 14:22 |
| jameslevy | So the permission could be accessed as a property of the model class | 14:23 |
| jameslevy | with the type of entity as the argument | 14:23 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: I don't understand your last line, the type of entity as argument to what? | 14:24 |
| * SRabbelier will brb | 14:24 | |
| jameslevy | student = soc.models.student.Student | 14:25 |
| *** Sledge__ has left #melange | 14:26 | |
| jameslevy | student.feed_permission(program) # returns False or student.feed_permission(program, True) # sets to True | 14:26 |
| *** florinciu has joined #melange | 14:29 | |
| jameslevy | A lot of this can be modeled after notifications, but essentially the news feed would contain all changes unless you don't have permission to see them | 14:30 |
| jameslevy | Another problem I'm concerned with is that the news feed will get flooded with unimportant information, and this is a bit harder to deal with than simple user permissions | 14:33 |
| jameslevy | And one solution is to limit the amount of news feed items for a particular entity to one every x hours. So if you update a document 10 times in an hour, it will only show the latest change | 14:35 |
| * jameslevy will be back in ~ 15 minutes | 14:37 | |
| *** Sledge has quit IRC | 14:39 | |
| *** madrazr has joined #melange | 14:44 | |
| SRabbelier | well that took a bit longer than expected | 14:57 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: ping | 14:57 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: we have all our logic code in the logic module, so it would be feed_logic.has_permission(student, program) and feed_logic.set_permission(student, program) | 15:04 |
| *** Merio has joined #melange | 15:06 | |
| *** Merio has quit IRC | 15:10 | |
| * jameslevy is back | 15:12 | |
| jameslevy | SRabbelier: So something like logic/feeds.py | 15:13 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: yes, or perhaps just logic/models/feeds.py | 15:13 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: we have more model-specific logic in some of the logic.models modules already anyway | 15:14 |
| jameslevy | Right. That makes sense. Would you recommend I go ahead and code a prototype? | 15:14 |
| jameslevy | That would probably be the best way for me to discover any issues I haven't yet thought of | 15:15 |
| *** Merio has joined #melange | 15:17 | |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: I think it'd be good to at least hook in the model, logic, and view, you should be able to do that in a day or so, there's not a lot of "boilerplate" code needed to add a new entity :) | 15:19 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: it wouldn't be able to do much ofcourse, mostly just create/edit/list/delete functionality with a form | 15:20 |
| jameslevy | SRabbelier: Why would a form be necessary? | 15:21 |
| jameslevy | You just mean any form related to a document? | 15:22 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: it's not, you get it for free :P | 15:22 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: (the kind of form you get when editing a Melange document, or student profile, etc) | 15:22 |
| jameslevy | SRabbelier: Okay, just wanted to make sure I understood | 15:24 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: np | 15:24 |
| jameslevy | Okay so this should be reasonably straightforward...and I'll ping you if I have any other questions.... | 15:26 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: ok, would you be ok with scheduling a meeting tomorrow evening to discuss the scope and aim of your GSoC project (wrt Quiz/Surveys)? | 15:28 |
| jameslevy | Sure | 15:31 |
| jameslevy | Same time? | 15:31 |
| *** Merio has quit IRC | 15:32 | |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: around now probably, let me check | 15:33 |
| SRabbelier | jameslevy: how about the usual meeting time, 6pm UTC (which is when we started our 'brainstorm' meeting) | 15:35 |
| jameslevy | Sure | 15:35 |

| * lh makes note - bug james levy | 17:38 | |
| SRabbelier | lh: what about? | 17:40 |
| SRabbelier | lh: I've talked to him today | 17:40 |
| lh | SRabbelier: i have questions about how identi.ca feeds work | 17:42 |
| lh | basically | 17:43 |
| lh | you use the twitter yah? | 17:43 |
| SRabbelier | lh: yes | 17:43 |
| lh | ok | 17:43 |
| lh | so with twitter it is possible to aggregate tweets from multiple users provided they include a particular hash tag | 17:43 |
| lh | like #gsoc | 17:43 |
| lh | what i want to know is | 17:43 |
| ArthurLiu | lh, we have a system at debian to do that | 17:43 |
| ArthurLiu | http://twitter.debian.net/ | 17:44 |
| lh | is it possible to aggregate tweets and dents (posts to ident.ca) in the same feed given current apis and tools for both systems | 17:44 |
| tpb | Title: Twitter : Debian Project (at twitter.debian.net) | 17:44 |
| lh | ArthurLiu: yes, i have the tool to do twitter in mind. :) | 17:44 |
| SRabbelier | ArthurLiu: that's pretty damn sweet ;) | 17:44 |
| lh | and if it is not possible to automagically integrate feeds from both services | 17:44 |
| MatthewWilkes | +1 - that's awesome! | 17:44 |
| lh | ArthurLiu: did you use | 17:45 |
| SRabbelier | lh: you want to pull posts from twitter and identi.ca into one feed? | 17:45 |
| * lh tries to find mail from erica jay | 17:45 | |
| lh | SRabbelier: correct | 17:45 |
| SRabbelier | lh: hmmmm, displaying them underneath one another is not a solution? | 17:45 |
| lh | SRabbelier: it is. but, if we can have one stream, more sexy | 17:45 |
| lh | well crap. | 17:46 |
| SRabbelier | lh: there's no blog widget that has that | 17:46 |
| ArthurLiu | it uses gpg signed messages, but it can be simplified to adapt it to our uses | 17:46 |
| * lh cannot find recommended tool | 17:46 | |
| SRabbelier | ArthurLiu: I saw that, very nice | 17:46 |
| lh | ArthurLiu: what tool did y'all use or did you roll your own? | 17:46 |
| ArthurLiu | rolled our own | 17:46 |
| ArthurLiu | the source is available | 17:46 |
| lh | ArthurLiu: thanks. | 17:46 |
| * lh wonders if requiring GPG key is overkill for our needs | 17:47 | |
| lh | prolly not | 17:47 |
| ArthurLiu | but I doubt gpg is a good idea for the general population, maybe bolt in google account api ? | 17:47 |
| lh | ArthurLiu: not a bad idea | 17:47 |
| * lh makes note | 17:47 | |
| SRabbelier | lh: but, this is not what you are referring to ;) | 17:48 |
| SRabbelier | lh: ArthurLiu's tool allows all of us developers to post to one twitter account | 17:48 |
| lh | SRabbelier: no it is not but it is good to know what tools are around for these purposes | 17:48 |
| SRabbelier | lh: what you want, is to have multiple feeds aggregated into one feed | 17:48 |
| lh | SRabbelier: correct. | 17:48 |
| SRabbelier | lh: that's true, of course | 17:48 |
| ArthurLiu | although I imagine that a much simpler idea would be to have students type in their twitter/identica account into their melange profile | 17:48 |
| SRabbelier | lh: we could do it server-side btw | 17:49 |
| ArthurLiu | and have an app follow them and RT when triggered by a hashtag | 17:49 |
| SRabbelier | lh: fetch both feeds, and 'zip' them | 17:49 |
| SRabbelier | lh: and then serve the result as one feed | 17:49 |
| lh | ArthurLiu: it would be awesome if this could be done automatically, i am thinking of a way to do this now even though it means much manual adding. | 17:49 |
| * lh shudders at the manual adding, takes heart | 17:49 | |
| SRabbelier | lh: but that would put extra load on our servers to serve those feeds | 17:49 |
| lh | SRabbelier: i think that using twitter/identi.ca's servers is good for this. | 17:50 |
| ArthurLiu | there shouldn't be any manual adding, twitter/identica APIs are pretty good for this purpose | 17:50 |
| SRabbelier | lh: what you should be doing is poking identi.ca ;) | 17:50 |
| SRabbelier | lh: for them to add a feature to pull in tweets :P | 17:51 |
| SRabbelier | lh: (assuming you were serious about wanting to use twitter/identic.ca's servers for this) | 17:51 |
| lh | SRabbelier: afaik they want to. :) | 17:51 |
| SRabbelier | lh: just no manpower to code that ? | 17:51 |
| lh | you assume the twitter gods want this to be done. | 17:51 |
| lh | SRabbelier: ^^ | 17:51 |
| * lh should really just ask evan | 17:52 | |
| ArthurLiu | SRabbelier, would it too hard to code such an autoretweeter ? | 17:52 |
| SRabbelier | ArthurLiu: From the Melange side, or the twitter/identi.ca side? | 17:52 |
| ArthurLiu | I wouldn't count on twitter/identica to do that | 17:53 |
| lh | so you can use identi.ca to publish to twitter | 17:54 |
| lh | i do | 17:54 |
| * lh avoids twitter like the plague | 17:54 | |
| lh | time. sink. | 17:54 |
| lh | so it is possible that if a gsocer is only an identi.ca user that we could still capture their feeds pretty easily if they were wiling to open a twitter account | 17:55 |
| lh | i happen to think this idea sucks a bit though | 17:55 |
| lh | 1) if you are die hard free software, you are not going to use twitter | 17:55 |
| lh | emphasis on die hard free sw | 17:55 |
| lh | 2) this forces creation of yet another account (barf) | 17:55 |
| lh | so much easier to munge the streams | 17:56 |
| lh | however! | 17:56 |
| lh | what happens when someone is an identi.ca user who updates twitter via identi.ca | 17:56 |
| ArthurLiu | I sense an infinite loop :D | 17:57 |
| lh | do we get their tweets twice then (once via twitter and once via identi.ca that then pushes to twitter) | 17:57 |
| lh | yes! | 17:57 |
| lh | sucks! | 17:57 |
| lh | i like not this idea. | 17:57 |
| lh | so ...... | 17:57 |
| lh | mrph. | 17:57 |
| lh | are we stuck with twitter since that's the one with the largest user base? | 17:57 |
| *** madrazr has quit IRC | 17:58 | |
| ArthurLiu | I didn't follow the beginning, but basically, we want to aggregate gsoc students submitted tweets/dents and broadcast it somewhere, somehow ? | 17:59 |
| lh | ArthurLiu: correct, while avoiding | 17:59 |
| lh | 1) duplicate messages | 17:59 |
| lh | 2) strain on servers due to limitations around GAE | 17:59 |
| lh | 3) manual add process (nice to have but think this is not feasible at this time) | 17:59 |
| ArthurLiu | ok | 18:00 |
| lh | and we would like to broadcast on front page of socghop.appspot.com | 18:00 |
| ArthurLiu | 1) can be avoided through duplicate detection (largest common substring, etc) | 18:00 |
| ArthurLiu | 2) should be ok because we can have either rss or api streams of an hashtag search or 'all friends' feed | 18:01 |
| lh | hashtag search seems most sane because we do not want to aggregate all tweets, just gsoc related tweets. does not seem useful to know that i am eating soup, for example. | 18:01 |
| ArthurLiu | 3) the hashtag approach would be the simplest for students | 18:01 |
| Erant | omnomnom soup. | 18:02 |
| SRabbelier | Erant: lots tasteh | 18:02 |
| Erant | :P | 18:02 |
| lh | ArthurLiu: correct. however on 3 | 18:02 |
| Erant | lh: Out of sheer interest, does anyone genuinely want to know what you're eating, and when? | 18:02 |
| ArthurLiu | of course we want to detect when someone retweets an hashtagged tweet | 18:02 |
| lh | Erant: this is a use case example from twitter's website, i sh*t you not | 18:03 |
| * lh thinks that is truly bad marketing, but ok | 18:03 | |
| Erant | *facepalm* | 18:03 |
| lh | afaik most tools that do exist to aggregate tweets require you to "own" the aggregate group and to add people to the group | 18:03 |
| ArthurLiu | this can be done automatically | 18:04 |
| lh | if this can be done simply and effectively without the need for manual intervention | 18:04 |
| lh | oh hallelujah | 18:04 |
| lh | ArthurLiu: tell me more | 18:04 |
| ArthurLiu | just get a list of accounts through a melange profile field | 18:04 |
| ArthurLiu | and use the twitter api to mass follow/unfollow | 18:04 |
| ArthurLiu | actually, you don't really need to follow | 18:04 |
| ArthurLiu | just have an hashtag search feed and cross it with the accounts list | 18:05 |
| lh | ArthurLiu: i love this idea. | 18:05 |
| ArthurLiu | to only retain gsoc students | 18:05 |
| lh | love it! | 18:05 |
| * lh wants mentors too | 18:05 | |
| lh | and! | 18:05 |
| lh | y'all have a debian tweet stream | 18:05 |
| ArthurLiu | but it's good practice for these bots to follow those that are retweeted | 18:05 |
| lh | why not just add that to the aggregator | 18:05 |
| lh | i take it there is a good reason, such as not all groups have these tweet streams | 18:06 |
| ArthurLiu | only a subgroup of debian developers actually use our twitter aggregator | 18:06 |
| lh | that is a good reason right there | 18:06 |
| ArthurLiu | actually are like "what's this twitter stuff, get off my lawn!" | 18:06 |
| ArthurLiu | *most | 18:07 |
| lh | lolz | 18:07 |
| lh | identi.ca ftw | 18:07 |
| lh | or um, like, what's a microblog dude and why do i need one? | 18:07 |

| lh | james crook wants your input | 18:12 |
| * lh goes back to triage | 18:12 | |
| ArthurLiu | let me see this | 18:12 |
| MatthewWilkes | Hmm, to clarify, is #melangedev now officially lurker-friendly? | 18:14 |
| lh | MatthewWilkes: lurk away my dear friend | 18:14 |
| SRabbelier | MatthewWilkes: go wild | 18:15 |
| * MatthewWilkes does as SRabbelier instructs | 18:15 | |
| MatthewWilkes | hmm, I think that's the last channel I can join before my client starts wrapping the tabs | 18:16 |
| SRabbelier | MatthewWilkes: lol | 18:16 |
| MatthewWilkes | I clealy spend too much time on IRC! | 18:16 |
| ArthurLiu | lh, yes, he contacted me a few days ago, asking for the list of students I scrapped, but it was incomplete (openicc and metabrainz missing for example) | 18:17 |
| lh | MatthewWilkes: holy. crap. | 18:18 |
| lh | ArthurLiu: because they have not created org home pages yet. | 18:18 |
| ArthurLiu | since you have a csv of everything, just excise whatever should be kept private and put it somewhere ? | 18:18 |
| lh | good to know. | 18:18 |
| ArthurLiu | that's all james wanted to know afaik | 18:18 |
| lh | ArthurLiu: this is also possible, but it doesn't really solve the problem of needing to search in the application easily. | 18:19 |
| MatthewWilkes | lh: They're all needed. All of them ;) | 18:19 |
| lh | eh, whatever, putting out on the dev list | 18:19 |
| lh | MatthewWilkes: i believe you. | 18:19 |
| ArthurLiu | SRabbelier, can't we do a basic substring search in the public fields of the profiles ? | 18:20 |
| SRabbelier | ArthurLiu: ? | 18:21 |
| ArthurLiu | http://code.google.com/p/soc/issues/detail?id=622 | 18:21 |

| SRabbelier | lh: working on it, had some hg hickups in trying to fix my earlier failure | 18:28 |
| lh | SRabbelier: ok, all good. | 18:28 |

| SRabbelier | lh: me did | 18:50 |
| SRabbelier | Mek: and I mailed the list about adding it too | 18:50 |
