Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 19:57):Are there any doing well outside of Zulip?
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 19:58):I think everyone doing well is on zulip
Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 20:00):Is Michael Hanus doing well? I know he was the winner last year
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 20:06):Is Michael Hanus doing well? I know he was the winner last year
@Michal Hanus has done super well on every task he attempted. those competing are fortunately he can only be a grand prize winner once :)
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 20:06):we didn't have as many coding tasks last time, so this has been more fun for everyone
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:46):
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:46):Look good so far?
Lucas Prieels (Jan 07 2018 at 20:46):Are you working on a task?
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:47):Yes
Lucas Prieels (Jan 07 2018 at 20:47):Wich one?
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:48):LibreCAD onepager
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 20:48):well except for the huge background image that would need to be cited and have appropriate licensing, it looks nice yes
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:48):The background img isnt copyrighted
Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 20:49):You still need to cite it
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:49):Oh ok,
Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 20:49):It's a courtesy thing
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:49):Does the site look good though, i rlly want to impress
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:50):
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:50):
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 20:51):@William Cook you should join the LibreCAD mailing list and IRC channel, talk with @LordOfBikes more about this
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:51):Ive already joined both of those
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 20:51):that image of a guy sitting in front of a computer is wrong for LibreCAD -- that's BRL-CAD
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:51):Oh
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:51):Ill change it, sry bout that
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 20:52):The background img isnt copyrighted
you have to prove that
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:52):Ill just cite it
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:52):Just in case
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 20:53):well citing is always good when you submit works to someone else
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 20:53):what the licensing terms are depends on a whole bunch of other issues
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:53):Aw ok, is IRC the best way to contact lordofbikes?
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 20:54):if it's truly public domain (which I doubt), then you just need to show where it says that
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 20:54):I don't know, you'll have to ask @LordOfBikes :)
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 20:54):mailing list, irc are probably both good
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:55):Why do i need to speak with him?
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 20:58):Im going to anyways, im just wondering lol
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:10):well you're designing a website for the librecad folks, you should speak with them :)
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:10):they're a partner organization
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:10):otherwise, you're having fun learning and that's good too
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 21:11):Oh, I thought you were the same company, just different software lol
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:11):most open source projects are "communities" ...kind of like clubs
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:11):lots of clubs have very related interests and some people help with lots of different projects
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:12):I help out with a number of different ones, for example
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 21:12):Aw ok.
Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 21:12):Which ones?
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:15):brl-cad, freebsd, haiku, bzflag, stepcode, libcsg, libirc, buildconf, ftgl, ... lots of little patches here and there
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:16):but most of my attention is on coordinating the broader CAx community, which is helping accelerate open source CAD/CAM/CAE tool development
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 21:16):
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 21:17):Idk if this looks nice or not lol
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 21:18):Suggestions?
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:18):which involves tools like BRL-CAD, LibreCAD, FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, Slic3r, OGV, LinuxCNC, and STEPcode, among others
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:19):suggestions would be to not go much further without talking with librecad guys unless you just want to keep playing
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:19):there are LOTS of good GCI tasks including BRL-CAD web development tasks
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 21:19):oh ok
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 21:23):I didnt realize I was bothering yall, sorry : /
Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 21:30):Since the US military still uses brl-cad, are you in contact with them? If there's some critical bug found do you have to tell them? Or do they do their own thing
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:30):heh not bothering, just a lot going on and you might as well be asking me what I think about the meltdown bug :)
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:30):it's an interesting convo for a while, but there's a lot going on so it's hard to focus
Sean (Jan 07 2018 at 21:31):they still support development and in close frequent contact, but they do their own thing
William Cook (Jan 07 2018 at 21:44):Ok im moving to a new task
Mahdi (Jan 07 2018 at 23:28):Finally! The task I've really wanted to work on just got released :) thanks whoever that was
Sean (Jan 08 2018 at 03:16):Finally! The task I've really wanted to work on just got released :) thanks whoever that was
which task was that?
Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 05:46):I've honestly always wanted to do the wiki redesign because it physically hurt me to read the content. I feel like my inner altruist called out to me to make nobody have to go through that again.
William Cook (Jan 08 2018 at 05:47):Hello Mahdi : )
Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 05:49):Hi william
Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 05:49):How's it going
Jeff Sieu (Jan 08 2018 at 05:50):I've honestly always wanted to do the wiki redesign because it physically hurt me to read the content. I feel like my inner altruist called out to me to make nobody have to go through that again.
me too tbh
Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 05:52):(deleted)
William Cook (Jan 08 2018 at 05:53):Lmfao
Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 05:57):(deleted)
Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 05:58):It's been a long night.
William Cook (Jan 08 2018 at 06:06):Are any of u done with the redesign wiki task?
Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 06:14):Nah, wbu?
William Cook (Jan 08 2018 at 06:41):Sry my response are delayed
William Cook (Jan 08 2018 at 06:41):Im not done either.
Siddharth (Jan 08 2018 at 07:35):@Sean How do I join the mailing list?
Siddharth (Jan 08 2018 at 07:37):NVM, I've already subscribed
Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 13:27):Morning everyone :) (or night for some)
Mahdi (Jan 08 2018 at 13:28):Yeah, I was also wondering if we were allowed to stay here after GCI is over
Sean (Jan 08 2018 at 14:41):I've honestly always wanted to do the wiki redesign because it physically hurt me to read the content. I feel like my inner altruist called out to me to make nobody have to go through that again.
go for it .. there's a handful of web tasks now and a variety of ways you can approach them
Sean (Jan 08 2018 at 14:42):I've honestly always wanted to do the wiki redesign because it physically hurt me to read the content. I feel like my inner altruist called out to me to make nobody have to go through that again.
me too tbh
us too, nobody is happy with how things are ... it just takes time and effort and everybody that can work on the website well usually prefers doing c/c++ code instead
Sean (Jan 08 2018 at 14:43):Yeah, I was also wondering if we were allowed to stay here after GCI is over
absolutely, we hope you will! open source doesn't end with GCI ... we work on BRL-CAD all year all the time :)
Chiranjiv Singh Malhi (Dec 04 2019 at 16:34):Hi , I had been working on a task with librecad and it's been 12 hrs since it has been reviewed .it's a kind request if someone could please review it , I would be grateful for the same.Thank you
