07:10:22 sigq: Title: IRC Meeting - MapbenderWiki ( at www.mapbender.org )
07:10:31 Testbaudson: we have dealt with topic 2

07:10:47 Testbaudson: ( 1 ) GSoC
07:10:58 Testbaudson: kmq ang nazgul, thanks for attending
07:11:26 nazgul: pleasure being here...
07:11:55 kmq: of course
07:12:02 Testbaudson: think we best make this in turns...
07:12:21 Testbaudson: to avoid confusion
07:12:32 Testbaudson: so let's start with nazgul for example
07:12:45 Testbaudson: his time zone is the least favorable ;- )
07:12:56 kmq: agreed
07:13:02 nazgul: ok
07:13:05 Testbaudson: nazgul, any questions so far? I had written an email
07:13:21 Testbaudson: about the basics in Mapbender
07:13:33 Testbaudson: and the IRC meeting last week
07:13:56 : * Testbaudson shuts up
07:13:57 nazgul: nope - so far so good...
07:14:12 nazgul: i was going through the IRC log from last week as well...
07:15:05 nazgul: would it be good if I try to summarize the CSW decisions to the wiki so that it would be easy to see the summarized consensus?
07:15:41 Testbaudson: nazgul: this would be very good indeed
07:16:17 Testbaudson: we try to schedule a face to face meeting with interested parties in Bonn
07:16:24 Testbaudson: the following week
07:16:29 Testbaudson: or the week after tht
07:16:31 Testbaudson: that
07:16:33 nazgul: and, can I have a wiki account as well? I'll try to put up all the information on teh wiki...
07:16:40 Testbaudson: the official start is May 23rd
07:16:40 nazgul: ok...
07:17:07 Testbaudson: I'll create a wiki account for you and kmq after the meeting...thanks for the reminder
07:17:23 nazgul: i don't think i can attend the F2F.... but if the others can let me know of the decisions made there, that would be good e'nuf : )
07:17:38 Testbaudson: nazgul: we will send you a summary
07:17:49 Testbaudson: nazgul...did you take a look at the source code already?
07:18:13 Testbaudson: have you created an SVN account?
07:18:30 nazgul: yep - mifan
07:18:53 Testbaudson: cool...
07:18:56 nazgul: i did look at the source code... i downloaded via SVN
07:19:00 Testbaudson: I suggest you work on trunk
07:19:22 nazgul: BTW, during development, would we be submitting patches? or would there be a specific branch?
07:19:29 nazgul: +1 for trunk...ok
07:19:57 Testbaudson: I think trunk is easiest
07:20:05 Testbaudson: I want to avoid you have to merge a lot
07:20:16 nazgul: ok...sounds good
07:20:51 Testbaudson: nazgul, have you dealt with OGC standards before?
07:20:59 Testbaudson: did you take a look at the CSW spec?
07:21:49 nazgul: I've seen the spec....haven't used it as such
07:23:02 nazgul: we've used standards in sahana before...
07:23:15 nazgul: stuff like WKT and such
07:23:33 Testbaudson: great
07:23:38 Testbaudson: ok, if you have no further questions, maybe we can move one...
07:23:45 Testbaudson: but please feel free to ask anytime
07:24:00 Testbaudson: in this early phase we have to do a lot of talking
07:24:03 nazgul: righto.... i'll summarize the stuff on the wiki and will ask questions as and when they come
07:24:10 Testbaudson: thanks
07:24:12 nazgul: yes....will start opening my big mouth
07:24:14 nazgul: thanks...

07:46:37 Testbaudson: please go on
07:46:38 kmq: when signing up for an osgeo ldap account
07:47:05 kmq: theres a field "Full name" and one"Surename"
07:47:21 Testbaudson: hehe...never heard this before
07:47:36 kmq: "full name" is actually fullname and not "First name"
07:47:38 Testbaudson: this is what everybody asks ;- )
07:47:57 : * kmq waits for the boilerplate answer
07:48:18 Testbaudson: I think full name means first name PLUS surname
07:48:29 kmq: ok, excellent
07:48:34 Testbaudson: but I leave it up to you ... I don't really know
07:48:42 kmq: it's just a little counterintuitive
07:48:54 kmq: does it show up anywhere ?
07:49:15 Testbaudson: hmm...I'm not sure
07:49:22 Testbaudson: maybe try to lgin at www.osgeo.org
07:49:36 kmq: if it does, I will bother people at osgeo if I enter something wrong
07:49:46 kmq: I'll just sign up now
07:49:54 Testbaudson: thanks
07:50:33 : * Testbaudson creates a wiki account
