13:52:24 <jdamon> I have a best practices ? . I am getting started with GNucash, and I could easily add my current balance, but I really want to import in the last 5 years of statements, but then I would have to go reconcile all of those years. Any suggested way to do this ?

14:17:16 <warlord> jdamon: either start from scratch, or re-reconcile everything.. (although if you're importing from QIF it *should* import the reconciled status too)

14:30:21 <kimmo2_> hrm, stupid new daskeyboard is incompatible with the stupid old Aten KVM
14:32:53 <warlord> OOPS
14:33:56 <jdamon> @warlord, thanks
14:33:56 <gncbot> jdamon: Error: "warlord," is not a valid command.
14:34:15 <jdamon> thanks for the tip
14:34:22 <warlord> jdamon: you're welcome
14:43:35 <jralls> warlord, gjanssens: Do you have any input on the SourceForge PR or are you content to leave it to Yawar and me?
14:44:04 <jralls> linas: Are you on the gnucash-core mailing list?
14:45:13 <gjanssens> hey jralls: long time no see
14:45:28 <gjanssens> I just finished reading your conversation with yawar
14:45:39 <jralls> I was out of town at a genealogy conference all last week.
14:45:55 <warlord> I was out of town all last week myself; just got back late last night.
14:46:25 <gjanssens> I'm not really good at PR
14:46:46 <gjanssens> I'm glad Yawar made a first start and I agree with your remarks
14:47:09 <gjanssens> Especially the remark on github vs SF shows good alertness
14:50:35 <jralls> I'm a bit worried I put his back up and he's going to defend everything he said like he's begun to about the relationship with GNU.
14:51:10 <warlord> jralls: I'll read and comment, but probably not today.
14:51:41 <jralls> OK, note that she wants a reply by Friday.
14:54:43 <warlord> It's only Tuesda

16:04:46 <linas> jralls no I don't think so, unless I have it filtered out.
16:04:47 *** fabior has quit IRC
16:05:08 <linas> I haven't been active in development for .. what .. a decade?
16:06:54 <linas> jralls is this in relation to above-mentioned Yawar conversation?
16:07:11 <linas> (having no idea what its about)
16:08:03 <linas> err, jralls_ack above
16:08:38 <warlord> linas: I suspect so, yes. There was a question (again) relating to the relationship between GnuCash and GNU
16:09:42 <linas> Well, have you heard my stock answer for this?
16:11:00 <linas> it dates back to maybe 1997/1998 when Jeremey Collins insisted on a port to gtk/gnome and a name change to GnoMoney was proposed
16:11:43 <linas> "nomoney" sounded off, a popularity poll choose GnuMoney and Stallman wrote to say "hey you can't call it that"
16:12:06 <linas> err GnuCash
16:13:20 <linas> I calmed down Stallman in a series of emails; pointed out that that its covered by GPL, I pledged alliegience to FSF and I think he looked up my contributor agreement
16:14:08 <linas> the "I assign code to the FSF" piece of paper that they have on file .. I had one on file since maybe 1991 and so the conversation petered out
16:16:17 <linas> I followed him around on the Boston U campus once, and then at some confernce and then in a taxi cab so it ws all copacetic
16:59:51 <warlord> But of course most of the rest of us have not signed such an agreement.

17:06:03 *** gncbot sets mode: +o gjanssens
17:06:53 <jralls> linas: Yes, that's part of it. The background is that SourceForge has chosen GnuCash as the "Community Project of the Month" and they sent us a questionnaire to answer for their press release. Yawar took a first pass at filling it out and included the statement that "GnuCash is also the official accounting software of the GNU Project".
17:07:11 <jralls> I don't think we want that in the press release.
17:08:44 <jralls> There are also some history questions that you're the best source for, like "What was the first big thing that happened for your project?", "What helped make that happen?", and "What was the net result for that event?"
17:09:30 <jralls> They probably don't realize that GnuCash is ~20 years old. Probably older than SourceForge.
