If you are interested in helping out on a Liberal.ca riding website and are in the Ottawa region. You might want to attend the Ottawa Wordcamp: http://2013.ottawa.wordcamp.org/ Its a 1 day conference about WordPress, the software we use to power all the riding websites. I’m going to be speaking at the conference :)

i have asked my favourite Webmaster to attend… :-)

Personally I love this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B88c5rfCHKs
I’d love to hear your comments on it.
I think it does a great job grabbing people who aren’t already in the know about the vote. -

Did you know that you could change your displayname on the Liberal.ca community to only be your first name? We’ve taken this step in response to feedback regarding our members privacy on the Internet. #website
-
And also, i’m sure, because of the lack of media coverage of current and actual members who have stood by their true-selves during these times of substantial scrutiny, self reflection, representation and liberty.
Are u saying our content needs to allow for a sense if anonymity? Interesting…
-
I have access to Liberalist and could find more about you than you might wish.
Not that I would, but it is open to abuse.
-
@Christopher-Braginetz Please remember that to have a Liberalist account you have signed a confidentiality agreement and the Liberal Party of Canada will strongly protect its members, supporters, donors, and volunteers’ data from a breach of privacy. We will provide to Elections Canada information on any user who violates the privacy agreement.…[En afficher davantage]

What does Elections Canada have to do with Liberalist and confidentiality agreements between the Party and a Party member? If the Party becomes aware of any Party member with Liberalist access contravening the terms of their confidentiality agreement, is it not simply a matter of discussing the matter with that member privately and revoking their…[En afficher davantage]

My confidence in EC has never been high and has dropped some more lately. Clearly, the abuse of party lists is more than a civil matter and rightly so. It is a breach of a right and I wish it was a straight forward criminal offence but failing that EC will have to do till the Liberals have the power to make it such.

Recharging for a month…
All anyone needs to know about Liberalist is in the Liberal University section. Other that what’s publicly available, I can’t comment further on it.
I believe there’s a line between genuine marketing and what Kenny did, and I don’t much like it.
-
I could be wrong… but unless you are a system-wide administrator, your Liberalist access should be limited to viewing member information for members within your own EDA only.
-
-
I fail to see how changing one’s display name from full to first name improves privacy or creates a sense of anonymity. Our full names are still shown on our posts, and our profiles still show which riding we are in.
-
Doug, You must change the setting to Set your display name to first name. For example I have just done this now. Now if you go to my profile page, you will only See Stéphane. Also you will see only Stéphane beside this post.
-
or not! Hummm… it should of said just Stéphane
-
Yes, the first name shows only under the large Profile picture on one’s profile page, and that’s it. Every member’s full name, riding name, member and donor status is still visible on their profile page to both logged & non-logged visitors who click on their avatar or their name-link in the info-line on any of their posts.
If you want to…[En afficher davantage]

It is supposed to just show the First Name. We believe first names only is a solution that balances privacy and keeps people mindful of the fact that they are talking to other Liberal members and not just to a faceless nickname.
You may also be interested to know that none of the members profile pages are accessible by search engines.

I strongly support having comments and commentators fully identified. NO ALIAS names please!
If you have something to hide, join the CONS !!!
Anyone who is concerned has the option not to comment.
-
I agree with the basic premise, but it isn’t US some people would rather be anonymous with. Some people are vigorously mindful of information they put out on the web due to privacy and identity theft issues–they therefore have a policy of not allowing datamining even of the most trivial and/or generic information. So, while I totally agree…[En afficher davantage]

Well said Jennifer. The most important thing is that Liberals feel free to express their opinions here. Accurate first names is a wise compromise on this issue.

Jennifer:
I understand the concerns about privacy and again people have a choice. If you are concerned, don’t comment.I strongly believe that the world will be a much better place for my children if people have to put their name to what they say. I for one do not place anywhere near equal weight or equal consideration when someone says…[En afficher davantage]

Do not hide with a nickname, I agree. But publicly voicing your views does have a downside. For me, I am not employed in a position that my livelihood could be jeopardized; my employer isn’t examining every piece of online data about me, etc. But that isn’t the case for everyone. I think denying Liberals the right to voice their opinion just…[En afficher davantage]

What is the difference of not hiding with a nickname which you agree with, and hiding with a “hint” of who you are by posting your first name only. One would still be “trying” to hide.

I love your attitude, and it is one I share (not sure about inviting everyone into my home, though :) ) but that is because we have the luxury of not being beholden to those who think differently for our livelihood.

Thanks for your views and exchange. Much enjoyed.
Allow me to conclude with this…We are in “our situations”, as you put it because our attitude drives our actions, and those same actions are the primary factors in where one is in life.
By the way, I hope you do not assume whomever owns a business is independently wealthy.
As a percentage,…[En afficher davantage]-
Tough one this but i’m with Bruno on this Jenn. I don’t think we should allow ourselves to be intimidated by negative possibilities for posting under our true names.That should be even more of a consideration the higher ones climbs up the responsibility ladder – we need to be brave!

I don’t think use the first name only means the same thing as anonymity. Obviously, the full name remains available and can be looked up by anyone on the inside.
It does however protect you from a troll chasing you down easily (if your name isn’t Smith like mine). Frankly, when I was young and single I wasn’t concerned with privacy, but if I…[En afficher davantage]

The volunteers on the ground in the by-elections need your help to turn our values into a reality. By-Elections are when we can impact change. This is how the tide starts turning.

I donated my $100 bucks ($25 really) when the emails mentioned how it’s the equivalent of a few orange juices. I felt like rewarding the humor – it really did make me smile! But you raise a good point – I can chip in a bit once more.
-
Just made my donation. Since we are now retired whatever I give is the real amount. No 75 % return.
Every little bit helps. Remember, that’s how the cons do it. $5.00 here $10.00 there. It really does add up.-
That’s exactly how they do it. Everyone pitches in $5 a month and it really starts adding up.
-
-
I made my donation too!
-
And, if you are not a Victory Fund (automatic monthly donations) donor yet, sign up as one as soon as possible. Think of your monthly donation as an insurance premium with the benefit of significant tax credits.
-
I’m not so sure. I donated to the Borys Wrzesnewskyj cause and look how that turned out: democracy lost but I did gain a tax deduction so not all was lost.

I just Donated a Bev Oda size glass of orange juice for the By-Elections!
The 3 Campaign offices need the 16$ to be able to reach Canadians.-
I see your glass of orange juice, and raise you 2 packs of Bev Oda smokes! ($20).
Come on everyone – let’s dig deep and give what we can!
Make a donation, give Stéphane a thumbs up, add a comment and let’s keep this post at the top for a while.
-
Does that mean the last person on here winds up donating an Oda sized limo ride?[ $1000 or more i believe]
I’m finally back to work for a while, so i’m in for 16.-
That’s great guys! That’s exactly what we need to make the ideas we talk about here a reality. We only need a few hundred people to donate 16$ to reach the spending limit for each riding so lets get her done!

I am in for my standard $100.00 per LPC issue. [ I am a financial responsible Liberal, I took a taxi ;-) ]
Stephane, I need a clarification, in what pocket, does this donation go, for my records. I am in LKM so it wouldn’t go to an riding association. So, does it go totally to NLPC.-
Well done Rick!
And I just know, beyond any question, that all the posters on this site, the complainers and the whiners, and the ones with great ideas and the ones with “out of the box” ideas, the ones that love Trudeau and the ones that don’t, the ones that want to buddy up with China and the one’s that are afraid of that, the pro…[En afficher davantage]

Hi Rick, its a bit complex, and I’m going to take a stab at it, but I might be a bit off on the exact details of how, but the general idea is that it if you have room to donate to the national it goes there, then it gets redistributed to the ridings thru riding transfers until all 3 ridings have their limit then the national office is also…[En afficher davantage]

I am happy to have contributed one more glass of OJ with pulp for the campaign offices across Canada.
Although I hear the people in Calgary could use something a bit warmer. Any ideas on how how much Bev Oda pays for mulled cider???

Bienvenue a la communauté Libéral @alexandra-mendes !
Est ce que vous pourriez partager avec nous vos priorité en tant que présidente de LPCQ?
Quel est la une chose la plus important que on peut faire en tant que membre pour aider a rebatir le parti en tant que francophone?-
Bonjour Stéphane! Désolée de ne pas avoir répondu plus vite, l’élection provinciale nous a tenu plutôt occupés ces derniers temps…
Je vais vous revenir demain avec une réponse détaillée. En ce moment, je suis encore sous le choc de ce qui est arrivé lors de la célébration du PQ au Métropolis à Montréal.

Has anyone tried the new #community Facebook app? What are your thoughts?

Very nice! I’m on it everyday now. For me it makes things easier because I already have my Facebook open on my browser. This way I can easily go through my own news feed, then check out this community, and any other group I’m interested in. It just puts everything together.

Just an little fyi, we implemented one of the feature request we’ve gotten many times. We changed how the posts are ordered on the community #website , now the posts are ordered by the latest activity, so if someone comments on a post, that post goes back to the top of the page.

Oups! this seems to have caused some problems, we’ve revered to the old behaviour for now until we get things sorted out!

I support that 100% John. Take the summer off! I, for one, after reading your comment three times ( and slowly), have no idea what you are trying to say. None.

Nope … still makes no sense.

Hi John,
Sorry I wasn’t clear. We did a change to the code so the most recently commented post rises to the top of the list. But the code broke. We’ve fixed it now.

But on that note, there is the ability to…[En afficher davantage]-

Excellent work Stéphane – thank you to all involved for these improvements to the best party site in Canada!

Good add-ons Steph. And thanks (to whoever) for making the comment links visible to me again. :)

I think the changes are great, but may I suggest that the thumbs up/down allows for , a for me or against me response, and third choice may be a middle choice of partialy agree, undecided.

Great work. I’m guessing we’ll see a bit of Reddit-style thumbs up/down here? :)

I just want to take a second single out the work of @hugh-ferguson in helping code the new hashtag system. And I wanted to apoligize to everyone who’s accounts were impacted by a bug that made the website not recognize their membership. If you are still experiancing trouble commenting on the Community, email us at web@email.liberal.ca Thanks! #website

Hey Stephane, it’s been a while since I checked out the site. Looking better! I like the thumbs! Curious if they have any effect other than counting approval/disapproval?

The VM idea is an interesting one. We do need a easy setup for others to be able to start working on our code. The problem is that even thought we give most of it, since parts of it depend on code we cannot release modifications must be made. I should add that to the list of things we need! ;)

Hi Hugh:
Not sure what you mean by a ‘VMWare image’.
Do you mean having a complete mirror copy (full file-set and d-base) of… say… Liberal.ca installed and operating on a localhost machine? That would be my preference.I have MS IIS Admin installed on my Win XP Pro machine to run and dev asp.net projects, and an Apache bundle installed to…[En afficher davantage]

Basically, I’m looking at how could the LPC Tech team get a new developer a running development environment to develop whatever piece he’s working on.

I do this for most of my work these…[En afficher davantage]

We’ve just made improvements to the servers hosting Liberal.ca. What do you think? #website
-
If you’re asking about page loading time, it seems to have improved Steph. I noticed an improvement on En Famille this morning even though E-F pages have always loaded quicker than Liberal.ca pages. Perseverence pays off! :)
-
Thanks Doug, This should only really impact the PHP+MySQL powered sites. The best improvements will be seen on database heavy sections. If you manage a EDA or candidate website you will see a huge improvement in the administration of the site which was getting very slow and prone to time-outs.

I’m not seeing any ”proxy errors” today and that has been my biggest problem. If your changes have corrected that…well done!

Those should definitely (hopefully!) be a thing of the past now.
