[17:18:29] hi AaronSchulz [17:18:51] AaronSchulz: wish you could have been with us in Berlin. [17:19:06] tewwy: thanks for the email re Adam Wight! [17:20:30] RoanKattouw: do you think you & Trevor would want to give a practice version of your talk sometime before OSB? [17:20:52] Probably [17:20:53] sumanah: I should have told you before Berlin but it slipped my mind. [17:21:00] sumanah: apologies [17:21:17] tewwy: it occurs! I had a sense that he was in the pipeline, I didn't realize he was ALREADY A COLLEAGUE [17:21:32] tewwy: "it occurs" meaning "no worries" in Sumana-dialect, sorry [17:21:47] RoanKattouw: so, check out http://calagator.org/events?utf8=%E2%9C%93&date[start]=2012-06-19&date[end]=2012-07-01&commit=Filter [17:21:56] sumanah: Because he was going to Berlin anyway, I wanted him on payroll by then. But he's taking vacation this week hence the lack of rush on on boarding. [17:22:16] aHA. [17:22:43] RoanKattouw: you could do your practice talk in Portland at some hacking event pre-OSB [17:23:11] I could, except that 1) I already have flights booked and 2) I have to deploy VisualEditor the Thursday before [17:24:14] But you will be in SF on the Friday and possibly on the Monday, we could do it at the office [17:24:33] We could! I am thinking that an audience that is not WMF would be the best practice audience [17:24:57] RoanKattouw: like, do you think Wikia or Code For America or a similar crowd would like to hear your talk? [17:25:34] Hmm Wikia might like to [17:25:44] (I see from http://opensourcebridge.org/sessions/877 that you are an "enthousiast"?) [17:25:49] Am I? [17:25:55] Ah yes [17:26:00] I don't remember when I wrote taht [17:26:28] RoanKattouw: or some other company or org that likes us and would find the subject matter interesting. They would be a better practice audience [17:27:17] Wow, there is a Portland JavaScript Admirers' Monthly Meeting [17:27:41] anyway, RoanKattouw, maybe you and Trevor could give it a bit of thought! I need to set up webex for the monthly meeting [17:27:43] bbiab [17:28:17] Yeah heading upstairs for the monthly meeting now [17:28:29] Will discuss with Trevor later, he's not in the office atm [17:29:49] k [18:32:31] RoanKattouw: I LOVE Deferreds and promises in jQuery [18:32:36] let me show you the test suite for mediawiki.APi [18:33:00] RoanKattouw: http://dpaste.com/756446/ [18:33:31] $.when(..).always [18:33:45] called if both promises are completed, (either resolved or rejected) [18:34:07] Nice [18:34:57] The power of 'always' combined with '$.when' is unmatched. [19:25:09] so, chrismcmahon, about publicity for this Saturday's event: [19:25:36] ok, given that it's a one-time 2-hour event, and given that we couldn't really deal with more than 50 participants, I can understand not wanting to use global message delivery [19:25:42] like, spamming all the pages [19:26:55] and 50 would be a lot [19:26:59] right [19:27:19] also, quality is as important as quantity here, thus Ironholds doing some more targeted messaging [19:27:30] 50 would be doable if we had more teachers -- we're gonna have you, Asheesh, and Tauhida, right? [19:27:34] but anyway. [19:29:53] also, messaging that is (or seems) 1:1 for the recipient will have higher throughput [19:30:24] better conversion rates [19:30:51] when I was talkpaging people who write gadgets, I did a lot of posting to individual talk pages [19:31:15] got the original list from Mark H [19:39:19] chrismcmahon: sorry, I have to head off, meeting! [20:54:39] weirdly, chrismcmahon, http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/ambassador-announce-l/ still does not have your email [20:55:03] sumanah: that is odd, it didn't bounce when I sent it [20:55:05] chrismcmahon: you may want to check with the list admins to see whether your email is in a moderation queue - https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/ambassador-announce-l at the bottom lists the administrators [20:55:33] Deebki: hi, got a moment?
