jsgotangcoif you want consistency, you won't want it righ12:12
mdkejsgotangco, its only natural that these things will go on outside the documentation team as long as the most popular documentation resource remains outside our tree :/12:13
mdkewe REALLY need to get ubuntuguide being worked on in docbook directly for the future12:13
mdkei saw a html2docbook convertion spec that might help, but it is pointless if we are going to port it (again) and then find that ubuntuguide keeps getting worked on outside our docbook repo12:14
jsgotangcooh boy im beginning to like opera12:26
Burgundaviaif only it was free12:26
BurgundaviaI used it from version 3 to version 612:26
mdkeBurgundavia, the guide you mean?12:26
Burgundaviaoh boy im beginning to like opera12:26
Burgundavia^^12:26
mdkeoh the browser12:27

jsgotangcoi did get to watch pavarotti and bocelli when they toured here12:29
mdkehmm12:29
mdkebocelli doesn't count as opera ;)12:29
jsgotangcohe's kinda pop'ish12:29
=== mdke nods
jsgotangcoits funny when he went here, women were screaming (including my wife)12:30
mdkehe plays the blind card12:30
jsgotangcooh man i still feel so sleepy yet i have an appointment in an hour12:46
mdke[23:53:56]  opi the main docs of Ubuntu (ubuntuguide and CoC) are translated12:54
jsgotangcoto polish?12:54
mdkenot sure what language12:55
jsgotangcoi think opi is polish12:55
mdkeit was the "main docs of Ubuntu" bit that got my attention12:55
jsgotangcolets grab him later12:55
mdkejsgotangco, i think it is more a reflection on the docs than on him12:55
mdkehe's right12:56
mdke:(12:56
jsgotangcoi was reading stuff a few hours ago before i slept12:58
jsgotangcoi didnt know there was a bugzilla category for documentation12:58

jsgotangcohow much is a ringgit now to a us dollar?03:27
jiyuu0USD1.00 = RM3.8003:27
jsgotangcohmm it didnt change much03:28
jsgotangcois dvd/vcd piracy still rampant?03:28
jiyuu0government is controlleing the currency03:28
jsgotangcoahh03:28
jiyuu0yes :)03:28
jiyuu0u can buy movies / software very very very easily03:28
jsgotangcoi remember buying like 50 DVDs for less than a US$ each03:29
jsgotangcoat 3am03:29
jiyuu0there's a place called lowyat in kl...03:29
jsgotangcoheh03:29
jiyuu0that's the pirated heaven03:29
jiyuu0DVD9 movies at RM903:29
jiyuu0DVD5 - 3 for RM1003:29
jsgotangcoi don't think it'll stop its so rampant in SE Asia03:29
jsgotangcoits already a way of life03:30
jiyuu0DVD software/games = RM1503:30
jiyuu0CD software = RM303:30
jiyuu0no way they can stop03:30
jiyuu0government tried03:30
jiyuu0but failed03:30
jsgotangcoyeah its just impossible at the moment03:30
jiyuu0but it's weird... when they say piracy control...03:30
jiyuu0then this lowyat place (which is a building)03:30
jsgotangcoheh03:30
jiyuu0ppl actually setup shop just to sell pirated stuff03:30
jiyuu0if they want to stop... why not just closed all those shop03:31
jiyuu0not so difficult03:31
jsgotangcois that like a building where there are stalls all over selling the same thing03:31
jiyuu0u read on news... but see no action on the pirated heaven place03:31
jiyuu0and it's a very common place03:31
jsgotangcoisn't the BSA active there?03:31
jiyuu0hardly see action03:32
jsgotangcoi can understand the video game piracy03:32
jiyuu0bsa will only advertise on tv and radio... just to freek ppl out03:32
jsgotangcothe console makers won't even launch in SE Asia (except singapre)03:32
jiyuu0true... i think xbox is not launched here03:32
jsgotangcothat's why MMORPGs from Korea are so popular03:32
=== jiyuu0 got the xbox though :)
jsgotangcomodded of course03:33
jiyuu0ic03:33
jiyuu0well... when i'm back using windows... frankly... can't leave withouth piracy03:33
jiyuu0it's so cheap to test/use software at home03:34
jsgotangcoyeah03:34
jsgotangcoits so accessible you can't ignore it03:34
jiyuu0lucky now on open source... so hardly use pirated stuff03:34
jsgotangcoi've seen game shops sell only pirated games03:34
jiyuu0true :)03:34
jiyuu0especially the dvd9 movies03:34
jsgotangcoyeah03:34
jiyuu0original = between RM 39 to RM 20003:35
jiyuu0pirated = RM 903:35
jiyuu0so much different03:35
jsgotangcothe weird thing is that the quality is so good for a pirated material03:35
jiyuu0true :)03:35
jiyuu0they make their own compilation03:35
jiyuu0even the cd cover is nice03:35
=== robitaille [~robitaill@d154-5-117-228.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
jsgotangcoyeah i've seen 2-in-1 dvd9 movies03:35
jiyuu02 in 1 dvd 9 is actually 2 dvd5 in it03:36
jsgotangcowhen i went to hong kong a while back, it was video game heaven03:36
jiyuu0oh... hongkong also piracy heaven?03:37
jsgotangcovery03:37
jsgotangco(with regards to video games though)03:37
jsgotangcoi think a lot of the mod chips are developed there03:37
jsgotangcoas well as in taiwan03:37
jiyuu0ic ic...03:38
jsgotangconot so much on movies, they have a lot of stuff in mandarin03:38
jiyuu0so how bout manila?03:38
jsgotangcojust like in KL i guess, but KL is much more urban03:38
jsgotangcoin terms of piracy we have our moments03:38
jsgotangcoheh03:38
jsgotangcomovie piracy is so big03:38
jsgotangcoas well as software03:39
jsgotangcoBSA isnt doing anything either03:39
jsgotangcoi think most of the stuff come from the backdoor, down south going to sabah03:39
jiyuu0true... they seems to be like drama ppl03:39
jsgotangcowhile price of oil is still high, the only price that doesn't go up here are pirated stuff03:40
jsgotangco(not to mention its tax free as well)03:41
jiyuu0true :)03:42
jiyuu0the price of piracy always goes lower and lower03:43
=== jiyuu0 gotta go grab some breakfast... brb :)

jsgotangcono there was a conflict today07:46
froudOK so how did you resolve the conflict07:46
jsgotangcoi used your version07:47

froudHe he:-) something went wrong07:47
jsgotangcoi know07:47
froudya its ok I will fix it07:47
jsgotangcoi guess to avoid this again, let me finish the thing first07:48
froudno no hack the source07:48
jsgotangcoi was a bit woozy when i fixed this it was around 6:30am07:48
froudjust remember work small commit often07:48
froudbefore you start work svn up07:49
froudand before you commit do it again07:49
jsgotangcoif i svn up itll say theres a conflict07:49
froudthat way you will see the problems07:49
froudyes, but then you can resolve it07:49
jsgotangcowell yes (i guess i wasn't that attentive this morning)07:50
froudare you using kdiff307:50
jsgotangcoim not in kubuntu anymore07:50
froudok ok :-)07:50
jsgotangcokonqueror just keeps on crashing07:50
froudso you know on ubuntu07:50
froudHmm, I have not had that problem07:50
froudI had some other problems07:51
froudits a first release so these things are to be expected07:51
jsgotangcoyeah07:51
jsgotangcoanyway i just discovered how great bluefish is for a free docbook editor07:51
jsgotangcoits not that smart though07:52
froudyeah it work well, perhaps speak to te dev team and they can make it xml smart07:53
jsgotangcoare you going to fix the file?07:54
froudyeah, just taking a look at it07:55
froudjsgotangco: do you remember what change you actually makde08:02
=== judax_ [~troywill1@adsl-68-91-192-213.dsl.austtx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
jsgotangcofroud, just some very minor spell checks and removed some lines on the introduction which you also did08:08
jsgotangcoi played around with warning tags as well nothing major really08:09
jsgotangcoi can always put them back08:09
frouddo an svn up and see if you get an update now08:09
jsgotangconope08:09
jsgotangcotheres no update yet08:14
froudno I just need to merge08:14
froudok it is now at r1039 I have merge r1037 back to head08:19
froudits ard for me to see the exact changes you made in 103808:20
froudas that r contains many chnages of mine from 10.3708:20
jsgotangcohmmm08:20
froudcan you svn up08:20
jsgotangcoyou have 2 working copies?08:20
froudno08:20
froudone08:20
froudwhy08:20
jsgotangcowas wondering how you have the old revisions08:21
froudOh, no that is why we work in svn08:21
froudhere is the command I used08:21
froudsvn merge -r 1038:1037 https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk/kde/kquickguide/C/kquickguide.xml 08:21
froudU kquickguide.xml08:21
froudsuccessfully (0)08:21
froudI did a reverse merge to bring back my r and then committe dthat back to head08:22
froudyou could also do it08:23
froudhave you read svn book?08:23
jsgotangcowhen i have time i read08:23
jsgotangcobut not that in-depth lately08:23
=== froud goes to find the section that explains
froudJust read this bit08:24
froudhttp://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/svn-book.html#svn-ch-4-sect-4.208:24
jsgotangcosvn has the old revisions on file?08:26
froudjust the patches08:27
froudpretty cool stuff hey :-)08:27
jsgotangcohmm08:28
jsgotangcointeresting08:28
jsgotangcooh right just the patches, just like the one sent in ubuntu-commit08:28
froudyeah, and svn knows how to bring it together as a single file08:29
froudsvn is very powerful08:29
froudwe dont yet use even a 10% of its power08:29
jsgotangcolet me see the diff on that particular file08:30
froudbut there are somethings I dont think it is good for, like kernel hacking08:30
froudyou can diff between 1039 and 1037 08:30
froudyou can diff between 1039 and 103808:31
jsgotangcoi shouldnt rely that much on esvn08:33
froudno esvn has all the features of the svn client08:33
froudbut many of the features you may not see or understand the use of08:34
jsgotangcowell i shouldnt do the gui without knowing what the commands mean08:34
jsgotangcobut most of the basic stuff ive already covered08:34
froudto use svn client or esvn you should know the environment and its possabilities.08:34
froudyou can also do commands in esvn08:35
froudyou see the log window08:35
jsgotangcoyeah just at the bottom08:35
jsgotangcothats what i use08:35
froudyeah, that is the same working in a shell08:35
froudso you can type commands directly into esvn08:36
jsgotangcoyeah08:36
=== mdke rubs eyes in disbelief
mdkeugh08:36
jsgotangcoim trying to absorb this as much as i can08:36

jsgotangcojust in case *knocks on wood* you decide to go further08:36
mdkefroud, 5 hours sleep is not enough08:37
froudjsgotangco: we all make errors, main thing is you learn form them. Even I have made some pretty stupid mistakes08:37
=== froud agrees
jsgotangcoi still feel sleepy08:37
jsgotangcoi woke up at 5 just to attend the CC meeting08:37

Burgundaviahello03:10
Burgundaviajust had a few questions about your bot03:10
=== novaflare [~nova@2001:5c0:8fff:fffe:0:0:0:257d] has joined #ubuntu-doc
Burgundaviafirstly, thanks for running it03:10
=== cafuego_ nods
BurgundaviaI was just wondering what kind of info it was handing out, etc.03:10
cafuego_well, running it pending approval from ops03:10
Burgundaviasure03:11
Burgundavianot a big deal03:11
cafuego_it fetches and indexes the Packages.gz and COntents.gz files from warty/hoary/breezy i386... so you can interrogate packages.03:11
Burgundaviaok03:11
Burgundaviacool03:11
cafuego_apart from that it's just an infobot, so it outputs whatever you put in.03:11
novaflareyou could program it with the faq easly enough 03:12
novaflarejust take alot of time to get the triggers and responses done03:12
cafuego_I expect so (well, someone who knew actual perl, as opposed to mock perl)03:12
Burgundaviaok, when you start doing that, would you mind chatting with the doc team beforehand?03:12
cafuego_No worries03:13
Burgundaviacheers03:13
Burgundaviathen we can sort of control the quality03:13
cafuego_i'll need to see first how running it goes; I've had a scary amount of portscans since starting the bot <heh>03:13
cafuego_Awright, my wife wants her laptop back. See youse later :-)03:15

jiyuu0my line here is bad04:00

mkdei use gnump3d for streaming audio, its awesome04:01
jiyuu0it can stream video too :)04:01
mkdecool04:01
mkdeanyway docbook04:01
mkdethe advantages would be immense04:01
mkdedocbook is very good for porting: it can be easily converted to html, pdf, everything.04:02
mkdealso, we could publish the guide in ubuntu local help04:02
mkdealso, we can open the guide for editing to increase its quality04:02
mkdealso, we can translate the guide easily via rosetta04:03
mkdealso, we can ensure that the guide is ready for release time04:03
mkdejiyuu0, what are your thoughts on this?04:03
jiyuu0true... and it will be everybody's work04:03
mkdejiyuu0, is that good or bad?04:04
mkdefrom your point of view04:04
jiyuu0but... it would be hard for me to modify it based on my style04:04
mkdejiyuu0, what do you mean?04:04
mkdehey the channel is big today04:05
jiyuu0i'm workin on this proj soon04:05
jiyuu0http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=36614&highlight=ubuntu+handbook04:05
jiyuu0have a dead line actually04:06
mkdejiyuu0, what are your reasons for working outside the documentation team on this stuff?04:07
jiyuu0i have a open source club going on and i'm using it for my material04:07
jiyuu0workshops and stuff04:07
jiyuu0the add-on-cd purpose is because during training... there's no way i can ask 30 students to apt-get at same time04:08
jiyuu0and that's how the add-on-cd was born04:08
mkderight04:08
jiyuu0initially when i started the ubuntuguide... it was my reference04:09
jiyuu0somehow release to share it...04:09
jiyuu0then it grew and grew and grew04:10
mkdebut you understand that it is the role of the documentation team to try and produce good collective documentation for Ubuntu, using all of the resources possible, and that where things are produced outside the team, it makes this job quite a lot harder04:10
mkdethe guy who started that thread has essentially asked the same question that the docteam has been trying to address for months04:11
mkdewe want to draw on all the excellent material and try and organise it so that it is accessible to all04:11
mkdein a simple and clear way04:11
jiyuu0i understand04:13
jiyuu0but just not sure how it's going to work04:13
jiyuu0is ti04:13
jiyuu0convert the guide04:13
jiyuu0then public as open 04:13
jiyuu0and others can ammend04:13
mkdewell it would be essential that the document be open source yes04:14
mkdebut in the repository only certain people have upload access04:14
mkdein practice generally the documents are only worked on by one or two people04:15
mkdewe also are trying to find a way to use the material contained in the wiki04:15
mkdejiyuu0, what would be the disadvantages from your point of view?04:20
jiyuu0i guess it's the feeling of losing control over it04:21
jiyuu0as the main reason it's close (but available online) is because it's cathered to my own preference/reference.04:21
mkdejiyuu0, here's my opinion04:21
mkdejiyuu0, the ubuntuguide has such a massive following that essentially it has become the major piece of documentation about Ubuntu04:22
mkdejiyuu0, for this reason, I believe it is important that it is opensource04:22
mkdebrb04:23
mkdeok back04:27
mkdeso i was saying04:27
mkdewhen a guide assumes that great an audience, its important that the quality is maintained carefully04:28
mkdealso I believe that it is a great guide so should be brought to the ubuntu local help as well as those who use the internet04:29
mkdebut these are simply my opinions04:29
mkdejiyuu0 you're the author and its your decision04:29
jiyuu0gimme some time to think bout it... my rush now is the Training Material + Coursebook for Ubuntu04:32
mkdejiyuu0, ok, let us know. If you decide to open it up, it will take a bit of time to port it04:33
_froudjiyuu0: why dont you just work with us. We have discussed with you on this before. We welcome you and support you but your content is not free and open04:34
=== _froud is now known as froud
