| 00:00.18 | johnson_tom | wifi isn't a selling point -- even starbucks has wifi. offering wifi and networking seems so 2005. |
| 00:00.34 | johnson_tom | "like-minded saints" sounds a bit bigoted and exclusive. |
| 00:01.08 | johnson_tom | the conference isn't revealing any unofficial or unannounced tech info, so we can't advertise that people will be the first to see and hear new tech. |
| 00:01.32 | smootar | :) |
| 00:01.36 | smootar | OK. |
| 00:01.52 | smootar | I'm finally done with the 3 day training. |
| 00:01.54 | johnson_tom | also, "two days of hands-on trainign to acquire the tools you need to start volunteering..." this doesn't reflect the testing emphasis of the conference. |
| 00:01.58 | smootar | I should have more time tomorrow. |
| 00:02.15 | smootar | Thank you. |
| 00:02.16 | johnson_tom | if you take away these points, you take away 75% of the invitation message. |
| 00:02.34 | smootar | Sounds like it needs to be fixed. |
| 00:02.55 | johnson_tom | also, we want to send out the email from blaine and the email to ics at relatively the same time, right? |
| 00:03.02 | johnson_tom | those are still in process but nearly finished. |

| 16:00.20 | smootar | ***** Begin - LDSTech Meeting - 20 JAN 2012 **** |
| 16:00.20 | smootar | ************************************************ |
| 16:00.26 | smootar | Who is here? |
| 16:00.28 | JoshBang | here |
| 16:00.30 | tccastaldo | I am. |
| 16:00.33 | scgallafent | here |
| 16:00.42 | *** join/#ldstech rpflo (~rpflo@ip65-46-60-210.z60-46-65.customer.algx.net) |
| 16:00.56 | tccastaldo | notices TimRiker's cubicle is empty |
| 16:01.00 | tdeforest | here |
| 16:01.04 | smootar | sees TimRiker walking in. |
| 16:01.37 | smootar | tccastaldo, do you want to provide an update on the Scheduler? I think we are about ready to have everyone hit it. |
| 16:01.51 | tccastaldo | Please, hit it hard! |
| 16:03.19 | smootar | Is that everything on the update? |
| 16:03.26 | tccastaldo | Scheduler is running well enough for people to use it to at least sign up for classes; TimRiker and I have been doing some tweaking to make it work better and some other cleanup (especially with the admin tools). |
| 16:03.55 | smootar | So, we don't have a complete list of classes yet, and that will be updated by March 1st. |
| 16:03.56 | tccastaldo | There still isn't a specific "unregister" button. |
| 16:04.07 | tdeforest | has to step out for just a moment |
| 16:04.40 | smootar | They can unregister using the link that comes back from the email. |
| 16:04.41 | tccastaldo | The plan is to create a "course" letting users know the schedule will be released in March. |
| 16:04.57 | johnson_tom | I'm here too. |
| 16:05.03 | smootar | So that course needs to be created before tdeforest sends out the invite. |
| 16:05.35 | tccastaldo | You mean the link that spams me and TimRiker? Or is it an actual unregister link? |
| 16:05.56 | tccastaldo | Okay. I could even create it now. |
| 16:05.59 | smootar | There should be an unregister link. What is it that spams you and TimRiker? |
| 16:06.06 | tccastaldo | Let me see if it isn't already there. |
| 16:06.23 | scgallafent | smootar wasn't here for that discussion. Location joke: you had to be there. |
| 16:06.28 | tccastaldo | People were joking about that yesterday...and I was afraid the joke was turning into real life. |
| 16:06.40 | smootar | :) |
| 16:06.50 | smootar | he he |
| 16:06.56 | tccastaldo | is relieved |
| 16:06.59 | tdeforest | is back |
| 16:07.11 | smootar | OK tccastaldo is there anything else? |

| 16:08.00 | smootar | ??? |
| 16:08.03 | tccastaldo | I've been doing scheduler stuff mostly, but I did attend a small meeting (along with TimRiker) where we talked about Church material content and all of its different formats. |
| 16:08.22 | TimRiker | was on twice. once from his other machine. |
| 16:08.29 | smootar | :) |
| 16:09.06 | tccastaldo | That's all I've been up to. |
| 16:09.13 | smootar | Thanks. |
| 16:09.15 | smootar | scgallafent, |
| 16:09.18 | smootar | ? |
| 16:09.19 | tccastaldo | My pleasure. |
| 16:09.33 | scgallafent | tdeforest spent some time abusing Google Groups. We've gotten to the point that we know there are mail delivery issues from the cdev server to the groups. TimRiker has a request in to check on it. |
| 16:09.42 | TimRiker | oh yeah, _now_ the security folks unlock the back door. :) |
| 16:09.52 | scgallafent | I've got a request in to Google to grant access to a different API we need to set a couple of settings when groups are created. You have to request access and it takes about a week to grant it. |
| 16:10.05 | TimRiker | it's been about a week, no? |
| 16:10.12 | scgallafent | Pretty close. |
| 16:10.54 | scgallafent | I'm finally sort of moved into a spare machine. The fan on my laptop is running at 80 decibels. Backup should finish in the next two hours and it goes in for repair and some peace and quiet in my office. |
| 16:11.05 | smootar | No mail delivery or problems that send it to the wrong place? |
| 16:11.11 | scgallafent | Don't know. |
| 16:11.44 | smootar | You aren't seeing any mail delivered at this point? |
| 16:11.49 | scgallafent | Correct. |
| 16:11.54 | smootar | nods |
| 16:12.02 | scgallafent | The group is created correctly and can be used for email. |
| 16:12.05 | smootar | scgallafent, anything else? |
| 16:12.18 | scgallafent | Emails sent from other accounts are delivered fine, but email from cdev never shows up. |
| 16:12.20 | scgallafent | Not much on RecProp. We've got the call with Julie and I've got a message from one of the team members to give him a call -- he didn't say way. I'll try to call him today. |
| 16:12.38 | scgallafent | That's it. |
| 16:12.42 | smootar | ok thanks |
| 16:12.45 | smootar | tdeforest, ? |
| 16:12.46 | TimRiker | I get bounce messages sometimes after 4 hours of non-delivery. |
| 16:12.59 | TimRiker | just forwarded one to the helpdesk to see if that'll work. |
| 16:13.10 | tdeforest | put together artwork for some of the welcome packet items |
| 16:13.25 | tdeforest | sent some of that out for review and correlation this morning |
| 16:13.50 | smootar | was there a new proposed invite sent for review? |
| 16:13.55 | tdeforest | beta maps testing is going well. it's getting a steady trickle of forum posts |
| 16:14.19 | tdeforest | i haven't checked it this morning but there are usually a few new posts each night |
| 16:14.59 | tdeforest | scared paul pehrson by sending him a test message form Mailchimp yesterday :) |
| 16:15.11 | tdeforest | s/form/from/ |
| 16:15.25 | tdeforest | i warned him it was coming but he forgot |
| 16:15.33 | smootar | Ya, he was freaked a little. |
| 16:15.34 | tdeforest | thought it was the real deal |
| 16:15.48 | smootar | Then realized it wasn't the real deal. |
| 16:16.05 | tdeforest | adam away will be contacting me today about my vpn issues |
| 16:16.14 | tdeforest | s/away/asay/ |
| 16:16.50 | tdeforest | tom johnson is working on copy for the email invite |
| 16:17.12 | tdeforest | so the earliest the invite can go out is next week |
| 16:17.18 | smootar | :( |
| 16:17.32 | tccastaldo | :| |
| 16:17.37 | tdeforest | won't be correlated til monday at soonest |
| 16:17.38 | smootar | Is there any way to send it by end of day today? |
| 16:18.03 | smootar | Anyway to request a review from correlation be expedited? |

| 16:18.09 | tdeforest | smootar: maybe if johnson_tom gets updated copy by 10 this morning |
| 16:18.23 | smootar | johnson_tom, is that possible? |
| 16:18.40 | tdeforest | and if i get it to paul and kurt by 11. i think that is what he said is the cutoff for same day turn around |
| 16:18.41 | johnson_tom | if we submit to Cor/IP by noon, they promise to turn around in one day. |
| 16:18.47 | johnson_tom | i'll get something to them asap. |
| 16:19.00 | smootar | That would be great. |
| 16:19.09 | smootar | Will they ever turn around in the same day? |
| 16:19.15 | smootar | Or are they pretty stiff about that? |
| 16:19.18 | johnson_tom | possibly, i'll ask to expedite it. |
| 16:19.23 | smootar | Thank you. |
| 16:19.30 | smootar | I would like people to have the weekend to register. |
| 16:19.33 | johnson_tom | Do we have IP approval for the images? they will want that. that's the main thing. |
| 16:19.55 | tdeforest | there are no new images. some ones we're already using on the site |
| 16:20.03 | smootar | I think the images are already approved. |
| 16:20.08 | smootar | No? |
| 16:20.16 | tdeforest | right |
| 16:20.56 | tdeforest | i think that is all |
| 16:21.01 | smootar | Let's see if we can send it by end of day today if we can get approval. |

| 16:23.19 | TimRiker | sucked into scheduler again.... |
| 16:24.09 | TimRiker | pushed a new release out to production yesterday, planning another today. wanting to be done, but things are still wierd. I'll clean up the jira issues and see where we are. more detailed report on monday. |
| 16:24.44 | TimRiker | I'll try to get bryan to take a look and see if he's ready to own things again. |
| 16:24.53 | TimRiker | that's all for me... |
| 16:24.57 | smootar | The weirdness is not with people registering, correct? |
| 16:25.09 | smootar | It is more with the admin stuff? |
| 16:25.57 | TimRiker | yeah, linking to presenter details, not handling wam login as gracefully as it could, etc. |

| 16:26.31 | TimRiker | people can register on the production site. |
| 16:26.53 | TimRiker | it would be nice if admins could edit/remove those entries, but we can't do that today. stuff like that. |
| 16:27.12 | smootar | What are "those entries"? |
| 16:27.25 | TimRiker | individual registration details. |
| 16:27.34 | TimRiker | admin can see them, but not fix them. |
| 16:27.42 | smootar | hmmm ok |
| 16:28.06 | smootar | TimRiker, anything else? |
| 16:28.14 | TimRiker | we have folks that registered early that have firstname middlename instead of firstname lastname for example. |
| 16:28.22 | TimRiker | nope. I'm good, so to speak. |
| 16:28.27 | smootar | :) |
| 16:28.29 | smootar | thanks |
| 16:28.42 | smootar | JoshBang, anything? |
| 16:29.03 | JoshBang | A couple more people have gotten back to me about the health of their projects and the number of hours that the community has contributed. And I have been testing scheduler, but havent really found anything. I closed a couple of resolved bugs a couple days ago. Thats all I have |
| 16:29.21 | smootar | Thanks. |
| 16:29.23 | smootar | zakzakattck, ? |
| 16:30.10 | zakzakattck | i have been also testing scheduler and closed some bugs too as well. but i have not found anything else |
| 16:30.34 | smootar | Anything else? |
| 16:30.38 | zakzakattck | that is all for me |
| 16:31.08 | smootar | dlhace, has servers about ready for SWARM development and production. |
| 16:31.15 | smootar | That is what I heard yesterday. |
| 16:31.36 | smootar | KFitz and I need to go over SWARM requirements today. Does anyone else want to review them? |
| 16:31.50 | smootar | Let me know if you do. |
| 16:32.00 | TimRiker | I'll take a look |
| 16:32.07 | smootar | We are moving forward with Prokarma on this project. |
| 16:32.12 | scgallafent | I'll look through them. |
| 16:32.14 | smootar | Barring any big issues. |
| 16:32.23 | smootar | I will pass them along. |
| 16:32.25 | tdeforest | smootar: i'd like to be involved in that |
| 16:32.37 | smootar | nods |
| 16:32.44 | tdeforest | smootar: did they say they could do php? |
| 16:32.51 | smootar | Yes php. |
| 16:33.01 | tdeforest | nods |
| 16:33.12 | TimRiker | is there anything to get setup on cdev yet? |
| 16:33.14 | smootar | TimRiker I would like you to drive and review architecture. |
| 16:33.31 | TimRiker | cringes and nods |
| 16:33.37 | smootar | dlhace, can we use the server on cdev for SWARM? We need to get the automated build process working. |
| 16:33.49 | smootar | I want this done at the beginning. |
| 16:33.55 | TimRiker | I can set that up once there's something there |
| 16:34.00 | smootar | With Scheduler the project was about over when this was setup. |
| 16:34.10 | smootar | cool. |
| 16:34.14 | smootar | OK we are out of time. |
| 16:34.40 | smootar | Any other issues from johnsonth or others? |
| 16:34.53 | TimRiker | scheduler was hard cause it was our first community java stack continuous build. we have a lot of php apps already setup. |
| 16:35.02 | johnsonth | Do we have IP approval for the three icons used in the email? |
| 16:35.21 | smootar | tdeforest, do you know? |
| 16:35.32 | smootar | Where did those icons come from? |
| 16:35.38 | tdeforest | i inherited those icons from tom welch |

| 16:36.31 | dlhace | we could take the redhat server that I built for tech in cdev |
| 16:36.32 | tdeforest | johnsonth: should i ask tom welch about the icons? |
| 16:36.54 | tdeforest | johnsonth: or we can simply remove them |
| 16:36.56 | johnsonth | if you want, sure. but I doubt he knows. A couple of them seem pretty generic. |
| 16:37.42 | johnsonth | it would probably be easiest to remove them. |

| 19:17.30 | tdeforest | johnsonth: remind me to make sure the 'under construction' note is removed from the conference wiki page before we send the invite :) |
| 19:18.20 | johnsonth | tdeforest: I just removed it. |
| 19:18.35 | tdeforest | oh. great! |
| 19:18.46 | johnsonth | In the sample invite you just sent, there were broken image links where the icons used to be. |
| 19:18.52 | johnsonth | Then they went away when I chose to download images. |
| 19:19.07 | tdeforest | hmmm |
| 19:19.45 | tdeforest | i'll look at that. i didn't see that in my email client |
| 19:20.00 | johnsonth | Do we have an unsubscribe link at the bottom of that email? If not, we may get hundreds of unsubscribe responses. |
| 19:20.22 | johnsonth | There's just one line: "You are receiving this e-mail because you subscribed using your LDS Account." |
| 19:20.34 | johnsonth | Maybe we need to tweak that a bit. |
| 19:20.54 | tdeforest | good catch. i'll add an unsubscribe link |
| 19:21.53 | johnsonth | Maybe "To unsubscribe, sign into <a href="https://ldsaccount.lds.org">LDS Account</a> and change your preferences on the Subscriptions tab." |
| 19:22.27 | johnsonth | If someone unsubscribes from Mailchimp but doesn't change their Subscription preferences on LDS Account, what happens? |
| 19:23.34 | tdeforest | johnsonth: there's an integrated unsubscribe link as part of mail chimp. i put in a code snippet and then it outputs a unsubscribe link automatically. |
| 19:23.50 | tdeforest | looks something like this: http://lds.us1.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?u=b42b456de930aa39dca7a45f0&id=b830a2e375&e=[UNIQID]&c=5d271c9682 |
| 19:25.06 | tdeforest | i believe the mail chimp system is setup to sync their address list with ours in LDS Account |
| 19:25.55 | johnsonth | Interesting. I'm glad to see this feature. I tried unsubscribing, but it didn't change my subscription preferences in LDS Account at all. |
| 19:26.03 | johnsonth | Maybe it takes a while to sync. |
| 19:26.28 | tdeforest | that link is generic |
| 19:26.47 | tdeforest | it needs a unique id which is provided by the system at sending |
| 19:27.18 | tdeforest | and the sync also runs once a day i think |
| 19:27.32 | johnsonth | I think if we include that link, that would be good. |
| 19:27.52 | johnsonth | BTW, we're just waiting on Correlation-Evaluation for the final approval. |
| 19:28.01 | tdeforest | yeah, that'll be fewer steps for those wishing to unsubscribe. |
| 19:28.07 | tdeforest | great. thanks for your help |
| 19:28.43 | johnsonth | Ah, I see a note on LDS Account that says, "Your subscription preferences have been updated and may take up to 24 hours to take effect." |
| 19:28.48 | johnsonth | So there must be a 24 hour sync window. |
| 19:29.45 | tdeforest | ah |

| 20:19.00 | johnsonth | Is there any way we can add some kind of note in Conference Scheduler that tells people the sessions and presentation information will be added later? I fear people will log in, expecting to see information, and wonder why it's blank. |
| 20:20.32 | tccastaldo | johnsonth, I added a course called "Courses coming in March" with a description explaining why there are no real courses yet. |
| 20:21.20 | johnsonth | tccastaldo, good to hear that. I mean, we're sending this to 80,000 people. We're going to get a flood of feedback very shortly. |
| 20:21.30 | tccastaldo | Yup. |
| 20:21.32 | johnsonth | I'm just trying to anticipate all the questions and issues that may arise. |
| 20:22.17 | tccastaldo | I have a sneaking suspicion that if we were to add a red label and an alert box we would still have people wondering where the courses are. |
| 20:24.53 | tccastaldo | Right now it kind of looks like Tim 金龙™ Riker is going to be the keynote speaker. |

| 21:28.02 | tdeforest | :) |
| 21:30.22 | johnsonth | tccastaldo: Just wondering, why are we calling submissions "papers" rather than "presentations"? |
| 21:30.35 | johnsonth | Papers sounds like we're asking people to write something. |
| 21:31.00 | johnsonth | I think the term should be "presentation." |
| 21:31.11 | tccastaldo | Because a before a presentation becomes a presentation, it is a paper. |
| 21:31.50 | johnsonth | The upload field to submit a paper asks for a "slide deck." |
| 21:31.56 | johnsonth | not a "paper." |
| 21:32.01 | tccastaldo | Someone responds to the "call for papers" by submitting a paper; once it is approved it becomes a course/presentation. |
| 21:32.29 | tccastaldo | It looks like the terms "presentation" and "course" have been used synonymously. |
| 21:33.12 | johnsonth | I'm confused by the term courses as well. It sounds like some kind of certification training. Can we change that? |
| 21:33.23 | tccastaldo | To be honest, those were the terms that were there when I started working on the project. I'm not sure why those particular terms are used, but I assumed they are there for a reason. |
| 21:33.40 | johnsonth | Doesn't "proposal" more adequately describe the submission of a proposed presentation? |
| 21:33.58 | johnsonth | I'm just thinking that talking about "papers and courses" is not going to mean much to anyone. |
| 21:34.05 | johnsonth | But proposals and presentations, yes. |
| 21:34.30 | johnsonth | Maybe this is the lingo of presentations in the developer world, but it seems more like an academic context to me. |
| 21:34.35 | tccastaldo | You could be right. Unfortunately, I have no idea. |
| 21:34.52 | johnsonth | let me find out. you have power to change the terms, right? |

| 23:28.56 | scgallafent | Sure 'nough. I see that now. |
| 23:29.00 | johnsonth | It has the same content as the email invite, but simply in article form. |
| 23:29.15 | johnsonth | I bet we get 500 signups over the weekend alone. |
| 23:32.58 | johnsonth | Yes, we had 1,040 people land on the site from the ksl.com article about mobile apps. |
| 23:33.42 | johnsonth | Strike that, 1,236. That's a good number of visitors from one source. |

| 23:35.15 | TimRiker | hehe |
| 23:35.27 | johnsonth | Kind of unfortunate. That's just showing people logging in. It probably double-logs site visitors because of this sign-in process. |
| 23:35.37 | tccastaldo | LOL |
| 23:43.02 | johnsonth | Looking at the popular pages, I noticed that a lot of people are going to the Contribute page. |

| 23:53.23 | johnsonth | If he wants to hold off on sending it out, I'm fine with that. It's completely his decision. I'm just curious because it was a huge priority yesterday and this morning. :) |
| 23:53.59 | tccastaldo | I don't know if he wants to hold off on it. I think he may have had the impression it was going to take more time to get it approved. |
