froud | African Greetings | 09:05 |
Kinnison | froud. | 09:06 |
froud | morning enrico | 09:06 |
=== froud has been capped by telsum | ||
froud | Kinnison: hi | 09:06 |
froud | OK, ideas wanted dudes | 09:06 |
Kinnison | What does that mean for you? | 09:06 |
Kinnison | (being capped) | 09:07 |
froud | I have done docs for Ubuntu Update Manager | 09:07 |
froud | Kinnison: yeah Telscum cap the DSL when you pass 3GB | 09:09 |
froud | Kinnison: slllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww mooooooooooooooooooooooooooottttttttion | 09:09 |
froud | Now Update Manager has moved to gnome cvs | 09:09 |
froud | problem is I documented it on Ubuntu | 09:09 |
=== froud [~froud@ndn-165-49-189.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
froud | question, how to keep the doc Ubuntu specific and neutral for GNOME | 09:10 |
froud | ouch did anyone get what I just wrote? | 09:11 |
sabmoc | would someone like to help me get started on working with the doc team? | 09:11 |
froud | sabmoc: sure | 09:11 |
sabmoc | ok, let me tell you where and what I am | 09:11 |
froud | OK | 09:11 |
sabmoc | I've read all the wiki pages on the docteam and howtogetstartedblahblahblah. I have used cvs but not svn yet. Dont think that should be too difficult. | 09:12 |
sabmoc | I have read parts of the DocBook guide | 09:12 |
froud | easy stuff | 09:12 |
froud | good | 09:12 |
sabmoc | I would like to learn more DocBook, and help the doc team if I can. | 09:13 |
froud | good | 09:13 |
sabmoc | That is all. | 09:13 |
froud | what would you like to know next | 09:13 |
sabmoc | hmm.. where do I start? Have any tasks that need taskers? | 09:13 |
sabmoc | taskee's? | 09:14 |
froud | well we are about to tag for release | 09:14 |
sabmoc | yes, but I think that a good thing | 09:14 |
froud | so not much writing is happening. | 09:14 |
sabmoc | ah ok | 09:14 |
froud | yes | 09:14 |
froud | however, you should look at the following documents | 09:14 |
sabmoc | This way I will see the breazy release from start to finish | 09:15 |
froud | and see how you can contribute for the next release | 09:15 |
sabmoc | froud, will I need to actually run the unstable release? | 09:15 |
froud | look at User Guide, Admin Guide | 09:15 |
froud | are you running Hoary now | 09:16 |
sabmoc | yes, but when breazy comes out I dont plan to switch until it is very near release. | 09:16 |
froud | next release is grumpy, no? | 09:16 |
froud | then comes breazy | 09:17 |
sabmoc | Oh! | 09:17 |
sabmoc | ok, well s/breazy/grumpy/; | 09:17 |
froud | Well same diff | 09:17 |
froud | normally, yes you run the next release from the devel | 09:17 |
sabmoc | froud, hmm.. | 09:18 |
froud | however, not everything in those guides will require changes | 09:18 |
froud | to grumpy | 09:18 |
froud | one place to look if you want to stay on hoary is the FAQ Guide | 09:18 |
sabmoc | Im sort of planning to buy another computer, maybe if I do then Ill install grumpy, but otherwise I really need a stable desktop. | 09:19 |
froud | it is currently at warty | 09:20 |
froud | and needs updaating to hoary | 09:20 |
froud | I believe that Corey was gonna look at that | 09:20 |
froud | he is not here now | 09:20 |
froud | however, the last meeting notes will give you an idea | 09:20 |
sabmoc | The notes are posted to the mailing list? | 09:20 |

sabmoc | I noticed :) | 09:21 |
froud | my line has been capped | 09:21 |
sabmoc | Thats strange, what does that mean, upload limits? | 09:21 |
froud | I would start looking at all the docs and thinking what I can and want to do | 09:22 |
sabmoc | Ok :) | 09:23 |

froud | sabmoc: in co.za it is all the same | 09:26 |
sabmoc | froud, ok thank you for the information. So basically just read the current documents and wait for the next cycle to begin. I can do that. :) | 09:26 |

froud | sabmoc: yes, you can give patches on the docs I mentioned | 09:29 |
sabmoc | where do I send them? | 09:29 |
sabmoc | let me guess | 09:29 |
sabmoc | as attachments to mailing list? | 09:29 |
froud | yep | 09:30 |
sabmoc | kk | 09:30 |
sabmoc | anything else? | 09:30 |
sabmoc | Actually, thats enough. | 09:30 |

sabmoc | How many people usually show up? | 08:46 |
Burgundavia | ~20-30 | 08:46 |
sabmoc | sounds really fun | 08:46 |
sabmoc | I'll have to think of where I would stay, since it would have to be an overnight trip for me, and I would have to get from Nanaimo to uvic, probably bus it. | 08:48 |
Burgundavia | sabmoc: Nanaimo to Vic by bus (ouch, I have done that once) | 08:49 |

mdke | just kidding | 08:53 |
Burgundavia | ;) | 08:53 |
mdke | but you're an active member of the ubuntu community | 08:53 |
Burgundavia | I guess you could say that | 08:53 |
sabmoc | Burgundavia, how much does the ferry to Nanaimo cost? | 08:54 |
Burgundavia | 10, 5 if student | 08:55 |
Burgundavia | each way | 08:55 |
Burgundavia | from bcferries.com | 08:55 |
sabmoc | Actually I meant with a vehicle | 08:55 |
Burgundavia | more | 08:55 |
Burgundavia | 31.25 each wa | 08:56 |
Burgundavia | s/wa/way | 08:56 |
Burgundavia | plus driver | 08:56 |
sabmoc | so 72.50, plus about 35 for the Gibsons ferry, plus gas food and hotel. hmm | 08:57 |
Burgundavia | hmm | 08:57 |
sabmoc | ouch | 08:57 |
sabmoc | haha | 08:57 |
Burgundavia | it doesn't have an airport, does it? | 08:58 |
sabmoc | I'll check the rates for a float plane, next to where I work is a float airline | 08:59 |
Burgundavia | ah | 08:59 |
Burgundavia | going to be more | 08:59 |
sabmoc | they've given me free rides before | 08:59 |
sabmoc | maybe we can work something out | 08:59 |
sabmoc | Its funny that I've never been to Vancouver Island, yet I've been all over BC's interior. | 09:01 |
Burgundavia | what do you do as a day job? | 09:02 |
sabmoc | I used to fix photocopiers for sharp, but now I am in a transition taking over the family business from my father. We own a restaurant. | 09:02 |
Burgundavia | ah | 09:02 |
sabmoc | So basically Im a cook. | 09:03 |
Burgundavia | I am currently enjoying being unemployed | 09:03 |
Burgundavia | left my job about 2 weeks ago | 09:03 |
sabmoc | Burgundavia, lucky bugger | 09:03 |
Burgundavia | used to work for www.microserve.ca | 09:03 |
Burgundavia | doing windows crap | 09:03 |
sabmoc | ah cool | 09:03 |
sabmoc | Burgundavia, I worked for Stream in Chiliwack for a while doing tech support | 09:03 |
sabmoc | Burgundavia, are you going to school right now? | 09:04 |
Burgundavia | went to CDI | 09:04 |
Burgundavia | I was hired straight out of CDI last Sept | 09:04 |
Burgundavia | was kind of nice | 09:04 |
sabmoc | Burgundavia, wow | 09:04 |
Burgundavia | then I realized that I was killing myself doing the job | 09:05 |
sabmoc | Burgundavia, what did you take at cdi? | 09:05 |
Burgundavia | and wasn't having much fun doing it | 09:05 |
Burgundavia | network and internet security specialist | 09:05 |
Burgundavia | basically msce+security | 09:05 |
Burgundavia | thought I don't have the certs | 09:05 |
sabmoc | Burgundavia, nice, you're not going to believe this but I went to CDI for a short time as well. | 09:05 |
Burgundavia | what did you take? | 09:06 |
sabmoc | Burgundavia, I didnt like it though, I was taking programming. | 09:06 |
Burgundavia | hmm | 09:06 |
Burgundavia | ya | 09:06 |
Burgundavia | they only teach m$ stuff | 09:06 |
sabmoc | I droped out before the student loans went though the roof | 09:06 |
mdke | lol@list | 09:06 |
mdke | "bug first, then email" | 09:07 |
sabmoc | Burgundavia, maybe you had desent teachers but when I was there all I did was read, there was almost no personal instruction going on at all, and I just figured why pay for this when I can do it myself for free. | 09:08 |
Burgundavia | I didn't get much is the way of personal stuff | 09:08 |
Burgundavia | but I did quite well | 09:08 |
sabmoc | thats cool | 09:08 |
Burgundavia | the instructor really really knew his stuff through | 09:08 |
Burgundavia | though | 09:08 |
Burgundavia | that helped | 09:09 |
sabmoc | in hind site I probably should have finished it, just for the sake of finishing | 09:09 |
Burgundavia | hey, water over the dam | 09:09 |
sabmoc | our instructor had her own software company and was making a killing on some contracts, i dont think she really cared about her teaching job but its tuff to find qualified programmers willing to teach. | 09:10 |
sabmoc | Burgundavia, yeah, doesnt really matter, I've taken a few classes at BCIT and Im taking another one next term. | 09:11 |
Burgundavia | cdi pays like shit too | 09:11 |
sabmoc | Burgundavia, probably, they have to finance to advertisments somehow. | 09:12 |
sabmoc | s/to/those/; | 09:12 |
sabmoc | oh no, gmail is down | 09:15 |
Burgundavia | sabmoc: no, its not | 09:16 |
Burgundavia | sabmoc: however, it was down for me | 09:16 |
Burgundavia | sabmoc: I suspect rolling server outages | 09:16 |
