froudBurgundavia: you can send patches to the list10:04
froudIf you send it now I will check it. Thanks.10:05
Burgundaviaok, I am almost done. Lots of language cleanup primarily10:09
Burgundaviasvn -diff?10:09
Burgundaviashould I include in the email or attach the patch?10:11

Burgundaviadone10:59
froudgot it thank11:00
froudBurgundavia:  nice one thanks, I have applied it11:07
KinnisonMorning guys11:07
froudBurgundavia:  in some places your checking was a bit intrusive. In other words your personal preference. But that's ok ;-)11:08
froudKinnison: morning11:08
froudBurgundavia: we actually wanted more text than less :-)11:10
Burgundaviafroud: hmm11:10
Burgundaviamorning11:10
BurgundaviaI cut out some stuff that was better left explained elsewhere, IMHO11:10
Burgundaviafeel free to add anything you feel back in11:10
BurgundaviaI will have another patch for you in about an hour11:11
Burgundaviamuch smaller this time11:11
BurgundaviaKinnison: I wanted to thank for your 30 sec. intro to OO programming. That 30sec was more useful that 3 years of school11:11
froudBurgundavia: sure, no worries, I will leave it in community hands now. However, it is always good to work in small patches. Work in a node, make changes and make a patch. That way it is easier to apply/not apply, role forward and backwards ;-)11:14
KinnisonBurgundavia: *grin*11:14
abelliKinnison: what kind of introduction?11:16
abelliKinnison: ruby right? ;)11:16

KinnisonBurgundavia: It's amazing. 1 working repo... rsync it... 1 non-working repo11:20
Kinnisonsvn is so shit11:20
Burgundaviaouch11:20
Burgundaviaso has he moved to baz then?11:20

BurgundaviaKinnison: what is the timeframe for moving bugzilla-->malone?11:23
froudKinnison: he did not configure live spanshot right11:25

KinnisonBurgundavia: boo hiss12:52

enricoOTOH, you're one of the most active people in the team03:37
enricoI'm stuck03:37
mdkeenrico, giorno03:40
enricomdke: ciao!03:42

enricomdke: sorry, I didn't undertsand the question03:45
mdkeenrico, which address: wiki/Docbook or wiki/DocBook03:45
enricoAh! :)  Sorry03:45
mdkemy fault03:45
enricoBoo.  I didn't know we have 2 different pages03:46

enricomdke: ciao!03:49
froudenrico: dunno what to do. my bad03:55
enricofroud: not many people replied to me.  We can still reschedule, even if it's not funny.03:56
Burgundaviaenrico: the tim eis good for me03:56
enricoBut it's better to have a crowded rescheduled meeting than a meeting with two people03:56
enricoBurgundavia: ah, ok03:57
Burgundaviayes03:57
BurgundaviaI just forgot to respond, sorry03:57
enricothe other problem is that, as Burgundavia shows, I don't know if people didn't answer because they can't come, or if they didn't because they could come at any time03:57
Burgundaviaenrico: send another around saying rsvp or we reschedule03:58
enricoBurgundavia: good idea03:58
froudwhat about weekend03:58
