[19:02] <pindonga> hi, does anyone know if there has been any issues with git-import in launchpad?

[19:02] <pindonga> when they had been importing properly before
[19:02] <pindonga> one example: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/132399608/ubuntuone-hackers-django-trunk.log

[09:13] <cjwatson> wgrant: Job leases confuse me.  Do you know of a particular reason why queueing a job shouldn't just release the lease?  AFAICT retry_delay should be sufficient to arrange for it to be queued a reasonable time in the future, and having the lease still held just confuses things.
[09:14] <wgrant> cjwatson: retry_delay is only for celery, isn't it?
[09:14] <wgrant> I agree it's confusing, but it's not *just* confusing.
[09:14] <cjwatson> Oh, does nothing else honour scheduled_start?  Hmm.
[09:15] <wgrant> Oh, it's possible
[09:15] <cjwatson> Job.ready_job checks scheduled_start
[09:15] <cjwatson> ready_jobs
[09:15] <cjwatson> So surely a job won't show up in iterReady() until the retry delay has elapsed.
[09:16] <wgrant> You are probably not wrong.
[09:16] <wgrant> It was all slightly strange, and I ripped out some strangeness a few years ago, but not all of it.
[09:16] <cjwatson> (I'm trying to fix the weird snap store upload retry behaviour.  I have it mostly fixed, but it's a bit of a hairball.)


[07:10] <thinkgeek> Hello?
[07:20] <Burgundavia> thinkgeek: hello
[07:28] <smartmass> anybody here?
[07:29] <smartmass> hello
[07:29] <smartmass> previously was ThinkGeek
[07:29] <smartmass> is this a grassroots IRC channel for the promotion of Ubuntu?
[07:30] <Burgundavia> yes
[07:30] <smartmass> I see. that's great.
[07:31] <smartmass> I wanted to see about promoting Ubuntu to our customers.
[07:31] <Burgundavia> sounds good
[07:31] <smartmass> I co-founded ThinkGeek
[07:31] <Burgundavia> ahh
[07:31] <smartmass> and I think our customers would respond
[07:31] <smartmass> not looking for a payout or anything.
[07:32] <Burgundavia> what ideas had you been kicking around?
[07:32] <smartmass> We send out monthly newsletters to tons of folks. I was thinking it would be great exposure to mention ubuntu and then give folks a chance to get a free distro.
[07:32] <Burgundavia> ahh
[07:33] <smartmass> do u get this all the time?
[07:33] <Burgundavia> so you were thinking of a contest?
[07:33] <smartmass> nah.
[07:33] <Burgundavia> aren't most of your customers already aware of Linux in general?
[07:33] <smartmass> Just sheer 'Hey! if you've been living in a forest for the past year, you probably don't know about Ubuntu'
[07:33] <smartmass> they used to be.
[07:34] <Burgundavia> used to be?
[07:34] <smartmass> we have more Windows folks now.
[07:34] <smartmass> because we have grown so much, our niche market has grown into something more mainstream.
[07:34] <Burgundavia> right
[07:35] <smartmass> I'm using windows.
[07:35] <Burgundavia> are you looking for a short "what is Ubuntu" thing to put into your newsletter?
[07:35] <smartmass> I used to use Linux. but switched like 3 years ago
[07:36] <smartmass> Lemme give you an example of our newsletter. 1 sec.
[07:38] <smartmass> http://www.thinkgeek.com/edm/20060719.shtml
[07:38] <smartmass> so in the 'whats news' section. we would just have an image, then a bunch of text and talk about Ubuntu
[07:39] <smartmass> and my hope is we can give away some distributions.
[07:39] <smartmass> I'm not trying to be sketchy here.
[07:40] <Burgundavia> well, the best way is probably to contact the shipit people at Canonical and explain that you are after CDs
[07:40] <smartmass> It's a personal thing.
[07:41] <smartmass> I want more folks to embrace the Linux thing, and I think I can help because of my position here.
[07:41] <Burgundavia> ahh
[07:41] <smartmass> and I really like the Ubuntu approach.
[07:41] <Burgundavia> well, you could order some cds from shipit
[07:41] <Burgundavia> throw them in every 100th order or something
[07:41] <Burgundavia> bonus gift
[07:41] <smartmass> so? what is the relation?
[07:42] <Burgundavia> Canonical is the company that sponsors most of the Ubuntu Dev work
[07:42] <smartmass> ubuntu --> shipit --> canonical?
[07:42] <Burgundavia> they also sponsor shipit, which is a program to give out free cds
[07:42] <smartmass> hehe. that was me.
[07:43] <smartmass> Are you a developer, or a supporter?
[07:43] <smartmass> or both or neither?
[07:44] <Burgundavia> I do a bunch of stuff
[07:44] <Burgundavia> wiki.ubuntu.com/CoreyBurger
[07:44] <smartmass> woah. cool.
[07:45] <smartmass> so do you think it's a good idea or not?
[07:45] <smartmass> or are you skeptical about it?
[07:45] <desertc> Maybe throw a brochure regarding Ubuntu into every Think Geek package?
[07:46] <Burgundavia> or a copy of the cd in every shipment in Dec or something
[07:46] <desertc> This would certainly help get the word out there.
[07:46] <smartmass> http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?c=1&f=555555&u=ubuntu.com&u=thinkgeek.com&r=6m&y=r&z=3&h=400&w=700
[07:47] <smartmass> not sure how accurate alexa is though.
[07:47] <Burgundavia> smartmass: email shipit and suggest something
[07:47] <smartmass> ok.
[07:47] <Burgundavia> alexa requires a plugin that only works in IE, at least last time I tried
[07:47] <smartmass> yeah. ok.
[07:48] <smartmass> do you have a specific contact? or should i just try generic?
[07:50] <desertc> Burgundavia is an authoritative contact...
[07:50] <Burgundavia> not reall
[07:50] <Burgundavia> really, just been around a while
[12:58] <elkbuntu> thinkgeek dude?! niiiice
