A few notes on Ubuntu Wanted before another holiday 4 Comments
Yes, that’s right. I’m off again for another holiday. This time it’s two weeks, rather than one, and it’s abroad. We’re going to a camp site near Paris in the first week and to a camp site at the edge of a lake in Southern Bavaria. We will depart tomorrow, early in the morning.
Since desktops [...]
Quickly PPA Comment
I finally managed to get a package being built by Launchpad. This isn’t much of an achievement though, since all the packaging work was already done by the developers of Quickly, whose projected I uploaded to a PPA. My contribution consists of changing two names to my own and editing the version.
The PPA is located [...]
Ubuntu Wanted Launchpad integration finally starting Comment
Today I finally started working on the integration of Ubuntu Wanted with Launchpad by branching their official Drupal Teams module for Drupal 5 and making it work on Drupal 6.
I’ve pushed the adapted version to lp:~ubuntu-wanted-dev/ubuntu-wanted/openid-teams.
At the moment(revision 4) the module works and can be used as a full replacement for the D5 version. You [...]
Launchpad PHP library Comment
A while ago there was a really nice session at #ubuntu-classroom during the UbuntuDeveloperWeek about the Launchpad API(LaunchpadWebService). During this session I said that I started with a implementation in PHP, which at first I meant to be used for the Ubuntu Wanted site. However, I postponed this because it wasn’t necessary anymore for UW [...]
Idea: Integrate Harvest and Ohcount in Launchpad Comment
After I read an maillist entry from dholbach and the blog post it was pointing to(The Harvest Season has begun!) I thought again of an idea I already wanted to add to Brainstorm before, but never did. The idea was to integrate the program ohcount used at Ohloh to analyse projects.
Keeping your project in good [...]
A request to freedesktop.org 2 Comments
I’ve files a bug at freedesktop: #15877
“Oh really? How speciall…”
It’s indeed a bit more special than a not working device. I suggested to move to Launchpad. Why? Because I think Launchpad is much better than Bugzilla. One of the main reasons is Launchpads(or actually Malones) Bug Watches. A project like freedesktop.org is used in almost [...]
Delegate OpenID Comment
A downside of OpenID is that you can’t choose the site to link to. Most of the time the site is actually your login URL. This can be solves with so called delegating. It means that you paste some code in the header section of the page you want to link to when using your [...]
Storm Comment
There has been a lot of discussion about Launchpad not being completely open-source. I don’t mind, but others do(although I’d really love to use/see parts of Launchpad).
The one part that Canonical did release was Storm, an Object-Relational Mapper. The definition Wikipedia gives is:
“Object-Relational Mapping (aka ORM, O/RM, and O/R mapping) is a programming technique for [...]
Suggestion: Use launchpadadduser.py to help from remote 2 Comments
The blog post at Launchpad news.launchpad made me thinking. Some of companies that offer proprietary software offer remote support. If you allow them to, they can take over your screen to help you out with your problems. And a problem you often have when helping via forums or Launchpad’s Answers system is miscommunication. You don’t [...]
