[O] Bug in Sticky Agendas

2017-12-30 Thread Ian Dunn 

I've got a few tasks that I don't want appearing in the daily agenda, so I 
tag them with agenda_exclude and set org-agenda-skip-function to skip any 
entries with that tag for my daily agenda:



binvGaqlAO1UI.bin
Description: application/emacs-lisp

As you can see, I've got a second agenda view for my nightly checklist.  So 
here's my problem: the skip-function is unset if I try using the nightly view.

To reproduce:

0. Turn on sticky agendas
1. C-c a d (day view agenda)
2. C-c q (quit-window)
3. C-c a T n (Nightly view)
4. Switch back to day view agenda
5. 'r' (org-agenda-redo)

Now the excluded tasks appear in the day view agenda, whereas they didn't 
before.

Re: [O] TODO in org-mode

2017-12-30 Thread Ihor Radchenko 
Hi,

Welcome to Org mode community.

You will need to add your org file to agenda_files (org->file list for
agenda->add/move current file...).

If you want to learn more about basic concepts, it may be also a good
idea to watch Rainer König's org mode tutorial series
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQS06Qjnkcc=PLVtKhBrRV_ZkPnBtt_TD1Cs9PJlU0IIdE).

P.S. I recommend you to familiarize yourself with key bindings. Using
menu is very too much slower.

Regards,
Ihor

[O] TODO in org-mode

2017-12-30 Thread M. P. 
I know this is basic but I am having difficulty getting TODO states to work. In 
ORG I select new heading than TODO from the menu but I don’t understand how to 
save this  so that it works with things like agenda view?

It sounds like we already have a solution, so I don't suggest anyone
spend more time on this since I am sure there are lots of bugs that
would be worth fixing.

I don’t want to blame anyone, just to clarify the state of affairs.  It
looks like Rackspace failed to communicate properly and on short notice.
People simply make mistakes, including myself, so I don’t think pointing
fingers is productive.

Yes, that's under a domain that I own so I don't rely on Gmail to
receive email (although I often send with Gmail to avoid spam filter
issues, alas).

You can find my public key/identity on, e.g. the MIT key servers.

Hi Allen,

thanks for the patch, it looks good.

Can you provide it with a changelog?  Like for those two:

https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/commit/b9b921716ba1d2a564bb9443427dfb21bb609e05

I assume the email address darkfeline AT felesatra DOT moe belongs
to you, in which case you don't need to add "TINYCHANGE" at the end
of the changelog message since your FSF papers are signed.

Thanks!

Yes, I should have raised the issue on the list to see if people would
come up with preferrable solutions, apologies for that.

But I had very little time and the clock was ticking.

Since I wasn't sure I could follow a potentially long discussion with
many suggestions, and since the solution I envisioned does not impact
regular users, I thought it was best to *just do it*.

Nothing is irreversible, my time is gone anyway.

So if you want to open a discussion on better hosting plans and if you
or someone else is willing to handle the migration and to maintain the
server afterwards, we can of course discuss this.

Thanks,

I made a patch for this (attached), which works when evaluated in my
working session.
We were not removing the agenda-archives symbol if a restriction is in effect.

Here is an excerpt of the email Jason received on Oct 17:

  From: Rackspace 
  Date: Tue, Oct 17, 2017 at 3:47 PM
  Subject: Rackspace Cloud Support Update to: Open Source Discount Program
  
  Thank you for participating in the Open Source Discount program!
  Over the past 3 years, Rackspace has provided over 100 startups with
  discounted cloud infrastructure through this program.  We are proud
  of our contribution in this area, and hope these credits have helped
  contribute to the success of your organization as it has for so many
  others.
  
  With that said, we have decided that now is the right time to close
  out this program.  On December 31, 2017, the Open Source discount
  program will end, and credits will no longer be applied to your
  account.  You will be responsible for your full invoice amount
  moving forward.
  
  To help reduce any impact that this may cause to your business, we
  would like to schedule an Account Review.  In this review, we will
  discuss the best options for your account moving forward.  Please
  reply back so that we can set up a day and time works best for this
  review.  You can also call in 1-800-961-4454 and ask for your
  Technical Account Manager.

"You will be responsible for your full invoice amount moving forward."
reads like "You will pay the bill" to me -- and apparently many others
were confused to.

I didn't have time to follow the discussions that followed up and
maybe Rackspace is still sponsoring FLOSS project, I don't know.

But I think the move to another server is a good thing.

Best,

I'm not sure I understand.  According to the referenced news article,
Rackspace will continue to service existing FOSS projects (i.e., Org)
for free.  Shouldn't Rackspace's free pricing be better than vultr's
$5 hosting?
