| 00:25.26 | starseeker | suspects it is some serious web-guruism involved to sync something like tackfreak with melange, but would be super-cool and who knows, perhaps it would be of use more widely in future GCI years (hint, hint web devs ;-) |
| 00:27.10 | starseeker | maths22: are you familiar with taskfreak? I stubled across it when looking for "good" solutions to the GCI "manage a pile of tasks" problem, but I don't know much about it |
| 00:27.34 | maths22 | I have not. |

| 00:30.18 | starseeker | maths22: not sure - I'm not much of a web programmer ;-) |
| 00:33.19 | clock | do you know some software that uses brl-cad to render machine generated models? |
| 00:33.46 | clock | Like for example electronic printed circuit board CAD which would output a machine generated model of the board and visualise it using BRL-CAD? |

| 01:18.56 | brlcad | clock: from brl-cad's perspective, that's just geometry import |
| 01:19.33 | brlcad | we have several procedural geometry tools that "machine-generate" geometry |
| 01:20.05 | brlcad | you wrote one in C several years ago (and unfortunately made it gpl, so it could never be incorporated) |
| 01:20.20 | brlcad | the bolt tool |
| 01:21.36 | brlcad | starseeker: can you think of any sets of gci tasks related to qt? |
| 01:39.56 | maths22 | That format looks really nice |
| 01:50.25 | clock | brlcad, do you know other softwares like that then? |
| 02:04.40 | brlcad | clock: I'm not sure what you mean because I just told you "yes, our software" or pretty much any CAD software with a rendering ability |
| 02:05.30 | brlcad | perhaps you really meant to ask whether I know of any EDA software? |
| 02:06.57 | brlcad | to which the answer is "yes, that's a huge industry" |

| 14:59.52 | brlcad | they're basically pulling a Sun ... open sourcing everything in a last ditch effort to maintain market dominance |
| 15:00.08 | brlcad | (this all revolves around the promotion of .net) |
| 15:02.07 | brlcad | and the corporate/community edition change will actually net them money in the long run, lots of groups were using express (on an enterprise level) and now that's expressly prohibited with the community edition (except for teams < 5 and open source) |
| 15:02.41 | brlcad | still nice to see the full dev chain finally unleashed if 10 years late |
| 15:07.57 | maths22 | brlcad: how do you want duplicating to work? |
| 15:11.25 | brlcad | I'm thinking of specifically how we managed tasks like the facebook banners where there's a base task, then it's copied and title is changed to #2, #3, ... etc to some range |
| 15:12.42 | brlcad | basically want to say something like, "I want 5 more copies of this task" and then have it automatically create those copies, sets the title copy # to the next available |
| 15:14.13 | brlcad | even if you select the base task or some intermediate (e.g., there is a "create facebook banner task" and "create facebook banner #2" and "create facebook banner #3", I'm looking at #2 and fill in a field to replicate it 3 more times, so it creates #4, #5, and #6) |
| 15:14.30 | maths22 | ok |
| 15:15.28 | maths22 | is there anytging else you want implemented that I haven't? |
| 15:15.54 | brlcad | the real value is going to be in the upload/merging once tasks are created and several on melange have been closed, how doable is that? |
| 15:16.06 | maths22 | also, do you want changes on the copies tracked? |
| 15:16.17 | brlcad | what do you mean by tracked? |
| 15:17.01 | maths22 | I think it will just skip closed ones, but i can see about a test meange instance |
| 15:17.26 | brlcad | don't bother setting up a test melange, oof! you can test right on melange |
| 15:17.30 | maths22 | tracked-ie if you change one the others do to |
| 15:19.05 | brlcad | ahh, that'd be nice but not necessary .. and I'm not sure other orgs would want that |
| 15:21.39 | maths22 | Ok. |
| 15:21.43 | brlcad | will the upload interface let you delete a task? |
| 15:21.58 | brlcad | hasn't read the new version instructions yet |
| 15:22.01 | maths22 | I dont think so |
| 15:22.36 | brlcad | what about change their status (e.g. to published? |
| 15:22.38 | maths22 | i just skimmed through the logic at https://melange.googlesource.com/soc/+/v2-1-20141112/app/soc/modules/gci/tasks/bulk_create.py |
| 15:23.08 | maths22 | you have to manually perform status changes |
| 15:23.45 | maths22 | put in a feature request and see what they say |
| 15:24.39 | brlcad | er, my reading around line 173 is that status updates are allowed as long as the task is not claimed |
| 15:25.31 | brlcad | we can test it |
| 15:25.51 | brlcad | did the data dump from 2013 include status? |
| 15:28.19 | maths22 | it did, but the text in that image indicates we cant |
| 15:31.19 | brlcad | hm, indeed ... let's see if it's just additional columns |
| 15:32.56 | maths22 | i can try to get you a file to test |
| 15:32.57 | brlcad | ahh, I see |
| 15:33.29 | brlcad | it's indeed not changing the status, but just making sure you're not changing the title/description/etc of tasks actively claimed |
| 15:33.36 | brlcad | duh |
| 15:33.55 | brlcad | line 147 is where it's set |
| 15:34.41 | brlcad | and if sync_key matches, it uses the task it matched |
| 15:35.01 | brlcad | darn |
| 15:35.15 | brlcad | well, so we can either live with it or modify melange |
| 15:35.23 | maths22 | yep. do you want to put in a ticket? |
| 15:35.33 | maths22 | or i can |
| 15:36.02 | brlcad | they're not going to do it in time, but they will take a patch from us that makes it work |
| 15:36.32 | brlcad | that task from arcriley you came across, it was closed so quickly because he gave them a patch that implemented it ;) |
| 15:36.45 | maths22 | that is true. unpublished should work |
| 15:36.57 | brlcad | in fact, that's why it was surprising -- I was just talking with Arc about that feature the week before |
| 15:37.05 | maths22 | nevermind that tatement |
| 15:37.14 | maths22 | i will take a look |
| 15:39.40 | brlcad | maths22: it's totally up to you, but I think we can live with it as-is, to not worry about the state |
| 15:40.17 | brlcad | if the interface still lets us create all our tasks more quickly, track these copies, and lets us keep a copy in sync on our website, it'll be a huge win |
| 15:40.46 | maths22 | ok. will do replication soon |
| 15:41.23 | brlcad | auto-assigning the sync_id alone will help because it'll mean I can keep hitting an upload button without fear of creating 200 copies of all tasks |
| 15:41.43 | maths22 | this is true |
| 15:42.44 | brlcad | the last useful bit (for much later) is probably to tie in your script that downloads all the upload data into folders :) |
| 15:42.59 | brlcad | was that your script or someone else's? |
| 15:43.32 | maths22 | it was mine |

| 17:16.27 | brlcad | especially via your new sudo powers ;) |
| 17:16.34 | maths22 | I'm trying to svnsync the repo, and I wanted to clear out the first try |
| 17:16.42 | brlcad | <PROTECTED> |
| 17:17.14 | maths22 | There isn't already a synced copy on the server, is there? |
| 17:18.53 | maths22 | actually, there is one in backup that is not too old-that will serve my purposes |
| 17:20.01 | brlcad | maths22: yes, there is, the one your found |
| 17:21.20 | ankesh11 | brlcad: Oh, wasn't aware of that. Where should I look for credentials? |
| 17:22.39 | ``Erik | brlcad: (re ports 755/775) nope, artifact of umask |
| 17:23.34 | brlcad | ``Erik: no worries, found out that's all been changed anyways .. can no longer run make as a peon without setting INSTALL_AS_USER |
| 17:23.51 | brlcad | which I don't want to do .. I want to build as user, install as root |
| 17:24.03 | brlcad | wonders if sudo make install will do the right thing |
| 17:24.13 | ``Erik | I typically use portmaster for all that stuff |
| 17:24.33 | ``Erik | "sudo portmaster catagory/port" |
| 17:25.04 | brlcad | still navigate/build/install manually |
| 17:25.11 | ``Erik | sudo make install SHOULD work fine, but you'll have to do the sudo make clean-recursive or something to clean up |
| 17:25.18 | brlcad | portnewb |
| 17:25.21 | ``Erik | clean-dependancies? something |
| 17:25.36 | brlcad | i'm just wondering how that all plays with INSTALL_AS_USER |
| 17:26.06 | brlcad | since that seems to put the files down in /usr/db/ports/USER/package or somesuch |
| 17:26.11 | ``Erik | INSTALL_AS_USER is an extra for the new staging stuff |
| 17:27.18 | ``Erik | fbsd ports now install to a staging directory to make sure it works, then moves it to the final destination... I'd, uh, avoid that stuff if you don't have a very specific reason... :) |
| 17:30.58 | brlcad | oof, for an 8-core machine, it's REALLY slow right now |
| 17:31.04 | brlcad | disk I/O is killing |
| 17:31.10 | brlcad | hopefully not a dying drive |
| 17:31.44 | maths22 | that is probably the combination of ports and fisheye |
| 17:31.48 | maths22 | I will pause fisheye for now |
| 17:32.21 | brlcad | and the recurseive permissions change (still running... ) |
| 17:33.49 | maths22 | Oh. 3 disk intesive things probably makes things angry |
| 17:38.38 | brlcad | nods |
| 17:39.31 | ``Erik | user www seems to be running a bunch of svn processes, as well |
| 17:40.23 | maths22 | those are fisheye (I hope...) |
| 17:40.53 | Notify | 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 63420 brlcad/trunk/src/libbu/tests/bu_basename.c: Rewrite bu_basename test program. The test was failing due to a bad size calculation which resulted in attempting to allocate a buffer of insufficient (even zero) size. |
| 17:42.10 | ``Erik | I thought fisheye was the big java process? |
| 17:42.41 | ``Erik | these svn procs are being launched from httpd, not java |
| 17:43.11 | maths22 | that is fisheye. |
| 17:43.20 | maths22 | Let me see what httpd is doing to spawn svn |
| 17:43.27 | maths22 | by that i mean the big java thing |
| 17:48.55 | brlcad | maths22: when you run into kernel module issues like that, talk to ``Erik |
| 17:49.08 | ankesh11 | How much background do we except the GCI students to have? |
| 17:49.08 | brlcad | he's in the know on most advanced questions |
| 17:49.19 | brlcad | ankesh11: minimal to none |
| 17:49.41 | brlcad | we tell them the background we expect and that background should be min or at least very well-defined |
| 17:49.49 | brlcad | see some of the existing tasks |
| 17:49.58 | ankesh11 | Okay, defining coding tasks is tough then I suppose. |
| 17:50.07 | maths22 | Thanks |
| 17:50.07 | ankesh11 | Alright, looking into them now |
| 17:50.31 | brlcad | not at all, we have had lots of coding tasks, and we say "basic familiarity with C" or whatever language is expected |
| 17:50.56 | brlcad | some of the students are quite advanced |
| 17:55.20 | ``Erik | hopefully we have a number of non-coding tasks as well... documentation, art resources, stuff like that. Even as document testers (please go through this documented procedure and take notes on anything confusing, that didn't work right, etc) |

| 19:04.06 | starseeker | indeed - for documentation verification it is actually best to have inexperienced users. |
| 19:04.33 | starseeker | user interface testing too, for that matter, once we have an interface that doesn't make even experienced experts wince |
| 19:07.28 | starseeker | if someone can figure out the comgeom importer, we can define lots of those PDF->ascii tasks. |
| 19:07.56 | starseeker | I got as far as bringing in shapes, but something about the matrix stuff wasn't quite right (on my end, I think) |

| 19:16.41 | starseeker | maths22: did you develop a set of "best practices" when you were doing the transcript last year that might be helpful to students this year? |
| 19:17.12 | maths22 | No-I just ran it through an OCR tool and hand-tweaked the results |
| 19:17.15 | maths22 | Lots of busy work |
