15:40.39macnewboldyes, but i haven't been able to do anything with it yet

16:03.03smootarTrip was good to San Fran, we made some good contacts in the Silicon Valley.
16:03.13smootartdeforest, do you want to start?
16:03.24tdeforestsure
16:03.40tdeforesthad my first meeting with a couple of team members in cebu last week
16:04.16tdeforestmel caminade and jess beltran were in attendance on Skype. josephscott and scgallafent lurked on Skype as well
16:04.28tdeforestmel was the most engaged by far
16:04.57tdeforestalthough he seemed to have no understanding of the project background
16:05.12tdeforestjess lost connection part way through. i don't know how long he was present.
16:05.47tdeforesti scheduled a follow up meeting for the 17th at 8pm EST
16:06.16tdeforestthis suited mel's schedule and since he was the most active I thought it best to focus on him
16:07.09smootartdeforest, did you do an interview this morning for someone in cebu?
16:07.10tdeforestwe chatted only - no voice since mel doesn't have a mic
16:07.39tdeforestno. i requested an interview for tomorrow morning

16:10.23tdeforesti'm never low on confused :)
16:10.52tdeforestthat is all
16:11.03smootarthanks.
16:11.06smootarscgallafent?
16:11.11scgallafentI chased down all of the details on getting the new Google accounts converted from a free account to full accounts. I'll get that information to Matt Hyer so that he can make the request.
16:11.24smootar:)
16:11.31scgallafentTimRiker, I emailed you a little chunk of code to test HTTPS certificate validation on the Google Groups API code. Did you see that / get a chance to test it?
16:11.59TimRikerdidn't get to it last week as we were on the road. I'll test today.
16:12.09scgallafentI suspected that was the case.
16:12.17scgallafentJust thought I'd check to make sure it came through.
16:12.20scgallafentRecprop is ready to start painting the walls on the new server and moving in furniture. Do we have access to the VM yet?
16:12.49smootarKFitz, do you know if dlhace has this ready?
16:13.49smootarLet's keep moving while waiting for dlhace and KFitz
16:13.52scgallafentI sent out a batch of emails before the last service day to get input on what format would make sense for chapter meetings. I got one response ... from a person who isn't really interested. Going to have to start making some phone calls.
16:14.01KFitzI havent talked to him about it
16:15.24scgallafentThat is all for me.
16:15.31smootarscgallafent, we may want to rethink this.
16:15.41scgallafentRethink chapter meetings?

16:16.58smootardlhace, there was a question about the VM for recprop.
16:17.03smootarDo you have any update on that?
16:18.32smootarTimRiker, while waiting for dlhace, do you want to provide a quick trip report?
16:19.16smootarOur meetings that we had?

16:20.01TimRikermeetings were sparsely attended, but we did get some good contacts.
16:20.29TimRikerit's nice to have some face time with people. seems to be a lot of interest from those attending.
16:20.51TimRikerLooks like we'll continue to grow out there.
16:21.26TimRikerthere were a few people interested in adding ldstech "chapters" to the existing byu chapters. That could work well.
16:21.49TimRikermeanwhile, I didn't get much on-line time in so email etc is about all I got to last week.
16:22.34TimRikergoing to test scgallafent's code today, poke at svnrm, see if we can get recprop moved in, and start up dev instances on l5161.
16:22.50TimRikerother than that it should be a slow day. :)
16:22.59smootar:)
16:23.01smootarThe most attended meeting was in Silicon Valley.  They have a pretty strong group there.  Everything else seemed a little weak.
16:23.09scgallafentI'll be parked in front of the computer all day, so ping me when it's time to move recprop.
16:23.16TimRikernods
16:23.21scgallafent(Minus lunch and minor things like that.)
16:23.34TimRikerscgallafent, I think I can get recprop setup, I just don't know if it's externally accessible.

16:24.24KFitzhe is probably in the LDS Account weekly team meeting
16:24.27TimRikerthat's it for me
16:24.35smootarthanks TimRiker
16:25.01smootarjohnsonth, we are just ending.
16:25.06smootarDo you have anything?
16:25.14johnsonthYes, I have a few things.
16:25.21johnsonthI logged some bugs in JIRA with the wiki.
16:25.34johnsonthThere are a couple of problems I'm hoping we can look at.
16:25.51johnsonthOne is that after you log in, you're not redirected back to the page you're viewing.
16:26.06smootarThat has been fixed in dev
16:26.10johnsonthThis makes it difficult for people to edit content on a page. Unless you first log into the wiki and then navigate....
16:26.12johnsonthOh, great!
16:26.12TimRikerthat's fixed in dev. just not pushed yet
16:26.13smootarTry it to make sure it wokrs.
16:26.26smootarwonders what wokrs is.
16:26.37johnsonthAlso, search is problematic.
16:26.48johnsonthIf you search for "help" and "Help" the results are different.
16:26.56TimRiker~spell wokrs
16:27.15johnsonthor bbq and BBQ -- different results (this is an example in principle only)
16:27.27johnsonththere are some extensions we can install to improve the search.
16:27.49dlhacewhat was the question on the VM for recprop?
16:27.51smootarI'm guessing we would have to look into search.  Anyone no off hand?
16:27.54johnsonthBut before installing some of the extensions, it would be a good idea to update to the latest version of Mediawiki. I think we're several revisions behind.
16:28.45smootarThat would be nice.  Does anyone know of issues to updating to the latest version?
16:28.51johnsonthAlso, some people want to make some pages more secure (requiring authentication) than others. This isn't possible with Mediawiki unless you install some extensions that Mediawiki itself advises against.
16:29.14johnsonthThese pages are the ones that David Hazar highlighted with risk analysis.
16:29.19dlhacewhat are the questions on recprop?
16:29.32johnsonthOne solution would be to create a secure instance of the wiki and then link the two through a technique called "interwiki links."
16:29.47TimRikerdlhace, is the new server externally accessible anywhere?
16:30.02johnsonthIt would involve more maintenance, having an additional wiki for secure content, but it might solve some problems.
16:30.34dlhaceno, the server is not external accesible
16:30.49johnsonththe only thing about upgrading to MW 1.18 is to make sure our theme is compatible with that version.  
16:30.50smootarjohnsonth,  I'm wondering if the overhead is worth the need.
16:31.17johnsonthI agree. Multiple instances of a wiki is never desirable.
16:31.38johnsonthIt's just one possible solution.
16:32.21johnsonthAlso, I want to change up my strategy a bit. I'd like to move all help for LDS.org apps onto the LDSTech wiki (moving away from my ldshelp wiki). I also want the blog to showcase more highlights from new pages on the wiki.
16:32.29smootarI'm wondering if the information really is private.  If it is, move the information to SharePoint or something.
16:32.34dlhaceI didn't have any information on what VIP name and contxt
16:33.00josephscottjust died a little bit inside at the mention of sharepoint ;-)
16:33.02dlhaceto use for recprop
16:33.03johnsonthI need to do a content audit on the wiki and some major cleanup.
16:33.25johnsonthI have major plans to improve the findability of content on the wiki.
16:33.57TimRikerhttps://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access <- mediawiki permissions and listing of some extensions for finer grain access.
16:33.57johnsonthI think it should be a one-stop shop for all help content for member/leader facing church technology.
16:34.08johnsonthAlso, FYI, Derek Hays is moving on to another position in December.
16:34.37smootarsmiles and wonders how to "die a little bit".
16:34.44smootarWhere is Derek going?
16:34.51johnsonthWe were building bridges with his group (mhtech), so with his departure, we may need to reestablish that conversation.
16:35.14johnsonthThat's it for me (for now).
16:35.25smootarThanks.
16:35.31smootar5 over.

18:53.30tdeforestjosephscott: i notice the recprop tabs seem to still be using the default verdana instead of the lds.org lucida. it'd be nice to have that fixed. any advice on jumping in on recprop?
18:54.00josephscottyeah, I think those tabs are just the default styling provided by the jquery plugin being used
18:55.13josephscottthat could be overridden in web/css/recprop.css, which is the last CSS file loaded
19:04.10tdeforestc'est bien
19:12.50tdeforestjosephscott: i really like your 'framework'. i just downloaded and installed recprop on my local machine in 5 minutes.
19:13.29josephscottrecprop is kind of a stone soup of approaches, think of it like a less developed Kib :-)
19:14.22tdeforesti can see the similarities. i've never heard the stone soup expression before...

20:38.02josephscotttdeforest: I've got the core bits of Kib (non-LDS.org specific) at https://github.com/josephscott/kib
20:38.38josephscottI was thinking of adding support for a plugins/ dir under kib/ that could be used to have just the lds.org specific bits, would make keeping the core of Kib in sync easier
20:39.11josephscottfunctions would still be used the same, so no change from the dev point of view using the functions, just code location change
20:40.12tdeforestso they would be moved from lib/ to plugins/?
20:41.43josephscottjust the Kib bits, so kib/kldsaccount.php for instance would be kib/plugins/kldsaccount.php
20:41.55josephscottbut the functions would still be used the same and look the same from a dev point of view
20:42.04tdeforestgotcha
20:42.13josephscotthmmm, another possibility would be to support a higher level kib-plugins/ dir
20:42.32josephscottthat would make using it as an external easier
20:42.46josephscottwe'll see, just something I've been thinking about
20:44.01tdeforesthigher level sounds a little cleaner from a framework perspective. either way is very workable
20:45.16josephscottyep, I'm giving that some strong consideration as default
20:45.33josephscottwith an override option by defining K_PLUGINS or something

21:11.04tdeforestrstegeby: excellent. good night
21:11.10scgallafentProbably still lds.org. I had that in code and moved it to a parameter this morning.
21:11.43tdeforest~x sw en Lämnar
21:12.06TimRikerhmm. I don't see $domain used anywhere.

21:13.40scgallafentSet to lds.org on line 14.
21:14.00TimRikernods. was looking for $domain. :)
21:14.13scgallafentDo a var_dump($result) after curl_exec and see what comes back.
21:14.26scgallafentLine 65-ish.
21:14.49TimRikerchanging domains and it works now. no cert warnings.
21:15.29scgallafentCheck to make sure CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER is commented on line 61.
21:15.34TimRikerI did a var_dump($gApps); in test.php
21:15.54TimRikercommented out
21:16.06scgallafentOK. It should be verifying the certificate.
21:16.11TimRikerk
21:16.18scgallafentLet me see if the group was created.

21:18.03TimRikerhttps://www.google.com/a/cpanel/tech.lds.org/Group?groupId=curltestgroup@tech.lds.org
21:18.15scgallafentI was looking at lds.org. Wrong domain.
21:18.38TimRikernods. should probably be using cdev.lds.org anyway...
21:18.54scgallafentI looked there, too. Just not at tech.lds.org. George just not lucky, I guess.
21:20.09scgallafentSome developers may need to disable the VERIFYPEER option for development (or point curl to a local certificate file). Should I add a configuration option to config.xml to disable it or is that better in configuration.php?
21:24.02TimRikerhmm. changed it to use jadmin@cdev.lds.org but I do not see group created there.
21:24.38TimRikerah. typo. working now.
21:25.35scgallafentWorks nicely.
21:26.26scgallafentAny preference on where to put the code to disable certificate checks for developers?
21:27.13TimRikernot really, nope. Should work to install the pub cert locally and makes the checks valid.
21:28.06scgallafentI think I'll put it in configuration.php and add a note to the readme with instructions for getting the file and enabling the option.
21:28.22scgallafentThat keeps an option that isn't needed for production off the component configuration page.
21:28.30TimRikernods
21:28.50scgallafentOK. Thanks for checking. Back to  fun.
21:29.05TimRikerword of caution... configuration.php can be edited in the gui. I think that will wipe out any additions.
21:29.14scgallafentUgh.
21:29.20TimRikerie: it only saves what it knows about.
21:29.54scgallafentI'll test it and see. Where does it get edited in the GUI?
21:31.53scgallafentGot it. Global configuration.
21:37.43TimRikerif you're adding it.. it should probably go in the module config and not global config.
21:37.51scgallafentOK
21:38.22scgallafentProbably makes the most sense if configuration.php means tweaking the GUI.
