[02:13] <jsgotangco> morning
[04:06] <jsgotangco> hey jeff congrats on the style guide
[04:08] <jeffsch> thanks eh
[04:09] <jeffsch> it's only a beginning though
[04:09] <jsgotangco> its a good start
[07:40] <mvirkkil> froud-away: How's the e-mail coming along? ;)
[07:40] <jsgotangco> hi
[07:50] <venda> African Greetings
[08:01] <jsgotangco> hello
[08:02] <venda> jsgotangco: morn
[08:03] <venda> people need to be aware of a license problem
[08:03] <venda> I discussed this with mako yesterday
[08:04] <venda> if you find a doc on the internet and want t o use it in whole or part within svn
[08:04] <venda> you must get agreement from the copyright holder to use it in svn and relicense it under our licenses
[08:04] <venda> if the copyright holder declines
[08:05] <venda> then we can only keep the doc in svn under terms of the copyright holders license
[08:05] <venda> WE MAY NOT RELICENSE
[08:05] <venda> WE MAY NOT MERGE OR USE IT UNDER A DUAL OR OPPOSITE LICENSE
[08:05] <jsgotangco> i thought about this as well 2 days ago
[08:05] <venda> :-) great minds
[08:06] <venda> So if something is GPL, GFDL, or CC-BY-?? we can use it in svn but must have permission to change the licensing
[08:07] <venda> Thanks to Gua, author of ubuntuguide.org, for allowing us to use the docteam licenses on the FAQGuide
[08:07] <jsgotangco> because i saw this how to create a deb tutorial by zonker and i thought it would be a great addition
[08:07] <venda> s/Gua/Chua
[08:07] <jsgotangco> but then even if its gpl, gfdl i still have to get permission of sorts
[08:07] <venda> yes
[08:08] <jsgotangco> (i transformed it to docbook already but haven't uploaded for obvious reasons)
[08:08] <venda> we can use it, but it without copyright holder permission to relicense, we must keep the original license
[08:09] <venda> This is why I have asked Chua for permission to relicense
[08:09] <venda> he has agreed to this
[08:09] <jsgotangco> i hope he knew what it meant
[08:09] <venda> so there are no more lic issues on FAQGuide
[08:09] <venda> See the list
[08:11] <venda> Hmm, are messages going through to the list?
[08:12] <robitaille> http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2005-June/002436.html  
[08:12] <robitaille> 3 messages, 2 from you and from from him.  Are these the only ones?
[08:13] <venda> Hmm, perhaps ther eis some holdup enroute to co.za
[08:13] <venda> thanks robitaille 
[08:14] <venda> new matter, I have not heard from Hendrik with regard to help.ubuntu.com and docteam.ubuntu.com
[08:14] <jsgotangco> hmmm that google bounty was spot-on with our lenya plans
[08:14] <venda> yes, I have the solution, I just dont think they will accept a java based solution
[08:15] <venda> whatever they decide perhaps we can use the same solution they will use
[08:15] <jsgotangco> i never thought it would be an impediment
[08:15] <jsgotangco> (java that is)
[08:15] <venda> shouldn't be
[08:15] <venda> but people are funny
[08:15] <venda> jsgotangco: did they guy on kubuntu guide get back to you?
[08:16] <jsgotangco> venda, you should shoot me for i haven't even emailed him yet
[08:16] <jsgotangco> (i will though now)
[08:16] <venda> No no I will do it now
[08:16] <jsgotangco> ok sorry about that
[08:25] <jsgotangco> umm venda i just sent him an email
[08:26] <venda> oh well now he has two requests :-)
[08:27] <venda> thanks jsgotangco 
[08:27] <venda> ppl we have the outline of our styleguide in svn
[08:27] <venda> would be cool if people have ideas/preferences that they should work on it
[08:30] <jsgotangco> ill hack on it later
[08:30] <jsgotangco> i've been playing around with hoary as a server
[08:30] <jsgotangco> i think its time to create a server guide too
[08:30] <jsgotangco> ours is currently empty/non-existent
[08:30] <venda> that should be in the admin guide :-)
[08:31] <jsgotangco> venda, its not that much either
[08:31] <venda> yes, but we have too much to focus on
[08:31] <jsgotangco> ill just hack it up a bit
[08:31] <venda> sure, it s open
[08:31] <jsgotangco> i've already have 10 pages of notes in my hipster pda
[08:31] <venda> who knows we may release one by brezzy
[08:31] <venda> he he
[08:33] <venda> ok must go get dressed
[08:33] <venda> and start work
[08:33] <jsgotangco> you shouldnt really chat in your boxers
[08:34] <venda> why not?
[08:34] <venda> and who said I am wearing boxers
[08:34] <jsgotangco> or chat naked even
[08:35] <venda> It's going into winter here
[08:35] <venda> so no way I can do either of the above
[08:35] <jsgotangco> hmm winter
[08:35] <venda> yes, it does get cold in johannesburg :-)
[08:35] <jsgotangco> and the rainy season is almost here
[08:35] <venda> brrr
[08:35] <venda> we have our rain in the summer
[08:36] <jsgotangco> rain in summer?
[08:36] <jsgotangco> summer here is like 35C
[08:36] <venda> Hmmm my kinda place

[09:38] <mvirkkil> froud: hi
[09:38] <froud> hi
[09:38] <mvirkkil> froud: Did you ever send me that email?
[09:38] <froud> no
[09:38] <mvirkkil> froud: ok
[09:39] <mvirkkil> :)
[09:40] <froud> mvirkkil: other than the talk we had on channel I did not hae anything new
[09:40] <mvirkkil> froud: I'd still like info about the gpg keys and other info I need to send to someone to get svn access.
[09:41] <froud> Oh right
[09:41] <froud> just make yourself some pgp keys and send the public one to elmo
[09:41] <jsgotangco> yeah
[09:41] <mvirkkil> elmo?
[09:41] <jsgotangco> james troup
[09:41] <froud> jsgotangco: you got his email?
[09:41] <jsgotangco> hold on

[09:44] <mvirkkil> ok. I have no imagination so it's mvirkkil
[09:44] <mvirkkil> :)
[09:45] <jsgotangco> heh
[09:45] <jsgotangco> i have this wordpress fetish lately
[09:45] <froud> wordpress
[09:45] <jsgotangco> you dont like it?
[09:46] <froud> URL know nothing of it
[09:47] <mvirkkil> The OpenDocument specd is 700+ pages. Makes docbook seem simple.
[09:47] <jsgotangco> www.wordpress.org its nothing special, just a popular blog tool
[09:47] <froud> mvirkkil: URL
[09:47] <froud> jsgotangco: I dont blog
[09:47] <mvirkkil> http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/12572/OpenDocument-v1.0-os.pdf
[09:48] <jsgotangco> froud, i dont either but i just use it for simple publishing
[09:49] <abelli> jsgotangco: elitejournal is even better .. its ruby.
[09:49] <froud> mvirkkil: whew its a big one
[09:50] <mvirkkil> froud: Agreed.
[09:50] <jsgotangco> abelli, will look i know nothing about ruby though
[09:50] <froud> mvirkkil: Oh dude OpenDocument is hectic sh1t
[09:51] <abelli> jsgotangco: bad bad bad daniel san.
[09:51] <abelli> froud: did you study in Oxford?
[09:51] <abelli> what subject? literature?
[09:51] <froud> I'll stay with Docbook for now, but I am also playing with DITA
[09:51] <froud> Oxford no
[09:51] <mvirkkil> froud: It's xml, which is nice and easy to parse.
[09:51] <froud> yes, but the syntax
[09:51] <mvirkkil> froud: But a bitch when it comes to accessing.
[09:52] <froud> try XPath that
[09:52] <mvirkkil> froud: Like optimizing accesses of a large document is a pain, since it'
[09:52] <mvirkkil> it's basically random access, and disk io is _slow_
[09:52] <mvirkkil> froud: I mean accessing on a lower level.
[09:53] <froud> mvirkkil: how low - DOM
[09:53] <mvirkkil> froud: xpath basically requires the whole thing to be in memory, which can be costly with documents that include others with xinclude.
[09:53] <froud> yep
[09:54] <mvirkkil> froud: I'm talking about basically if I have a path to an element I need to load the whole freaking document to get to it.
[09:54] <mvirkkil> of course using pull parsers and sax alleviates the problem, but you don't get the dom niceness
[09:55] <mvirkkil> and then string parsing (which xml is like all about) is slow...
[09:55] <froud> agreed
[09:55] <froud> but then I dont think it was designed with that in mind
[09:56] <mvirkkil> the "binary" xml sounds nice because of the speed stuff. Making something that will easily be translated to xml and back to binary, will be fast to access and small compared to xml documents, but yet easy to create parsers for and easy to make human readable...
[09:57] <mvirkkil> currently OpenDocument just compresses the whole thing, so loading and saving is slow. Binary xml would make that fast(er).
[09:57] <froud> yes speed is good and so is the round trip
[09:57] <mvirkkil> But people cringe when they hear about binary formats.
[09:57] <froud> but I would stll like it open in xml
[09:57] <mvirkkil> Yeah, that would be possible.
[09:58] <mdke> morn
[09:58] <mvirkkil> the idea is that binary xml (i'll call it bxml) would have standard tools for convertnig back and forth to riginal regular xml.
[09:58] <mvirkkil> mdke: i
[09:58] <mvirkkil> mdke: hi, even
[09:59] <mdke> hiya
[10:00] <mvirkkil> froud: http://www.w3.org/XML/Binary/
[10:01] <mvirkkil> froud: But I'm not holding my breath.
[10:03] <mdke> froud, good news on the ubuntuguide

[11:01] <abelli> mdke: if romans said "hic sunt barbares" while in africa they just said "hic sunt leones" there must be a reason.

[11:08] <abelli> mdke: that's not completely true that italians are all cultured .. normans  have been around for some time .. and 
[11:08] <jsgotangco> later
[11:08] <abelli> and they left some signs ..
[11:08] <abelli> mdke: ciao.
[11:10] <jsgotangco> what does hic sunt leones mean
[11:10] <abelli> hic := here
[11:10] <abelli> sunt := are
[11:10] <jsgotangco> here are lions?
[11:10] <abelli> leones := lions ..
[11:10] <abelli> .. yeah , there are lions.
[11:10] <jsgotangco> what does the statement mean?
[11:11] <jsgotangco> lions are cultured?
[11:11] <jsgotangco> italians = lions
[11:11] <jsgotangco> ?
[11:11] <abelli> no ..
[11:11] <abelli> in roman maps .. where now we write Africa .. there was written "hic sunt leones"
[11:12] <jsgotangco> ahh
[11:12] <abelli> and in northern england i supposed they wrote "hic sunt barbares" .. it was a joke.
[11:12] <jsgotangco> haha
[11:14] <abelli> barbares := barbarians.

[01:28] <swe3tdave> Morning
[01:29] <swe3tdave> anyone as some news about ubuntuguide.org translation?
[01:31] <swe3tdave> i was able to make html2pot working last night but then pot2html is giving so many error its impossible to use..
[01:43] <George^Deka> hi all
[01:45] <George^Deka> hi enrico
[01:45] <enrico> George^Deka: hi
[01:46] <George^Deka> thought u were dead, j/k just no activity on the mailing list, my exams are finishing up soon, so ill have a bit more time, so busy with uni and work
[01:48] <enrico> George^Deka: I'm busy with a full-time job until the end of the year
[01:49] <George^Deka> cool, no longer cannonical ?
[06:14] <froud> why is ubuntu brochue an empty svg file?
[06:19] <froud> Ah ha I see
[06:22] <froud> Burgundavia: why can I select the background page in your brochure?
[06:23] <froud> s/can/can't
[07:07] <Burgundavia> I locked it
[07:07] <Burgundavia> and I have no idea how to unlock it
[07:07] <froud> oops
[07:07] <froud> it's in svn
[07:20] <froud> Burgundavia: OK fixed it
[07:23] <froud> Burgundavia: Hmm but the ubuntu logo is still stuck
[07:30] <froud> Burgundavia: geeze dude that one is a bugger. How did you get that logo in
[07:34] <froud> Burgundavia: I can't even select it when I do Select All
[07:34] <froud> :-)
[08:28] <froud> question in FAQ Guide do we have to talk about gedit
[08:29] <froud> because if we just explain vi then we can use it for Kubuntu version too
[08:29] <froud> vi being common would be an easier choice and avoid extra profiling
[08:30] <froud> however, we could also give a note that vi can be replace by gedit or kate, depending on the distro you run
[08:31] <swe3tdave> could we explain the 3? and let the user choose? :P
[08:32] <froud> we could but this is a faq not a manual and we want to get an ubuntu version and a kubuntu version
[08:32] <froud> if we explain all three then each time either of the books talk about either gedit or kate we have to insert a profile
[08:33] <froud> just thought it faster and less overhead to use vi
[08:33] <froud> or ViM
[08:33] <swe3tdave> ok, i'm still very new here.. but i think vi is a good choice.. ViM would be more easy..
[08:34] <froud> yes vim is easier
[08:34] <froud> swe3tdave: the idea is to manage both books in one xml file and transform k and g versions from the same file
[08:36] <swe3tdave> froud: ok, im still trying to figure out how docbook, xml, and all those tools works.. but i think its a good idea.. :)
[08:36] <froud> this way common areas are not duplicated between files, instead they are shared as common
[08:36] <froud> swe3tdave: do you need help with getting setup
[08:36] <mvirkkil> finally mailed elmo. 
[08:36] <froud> mvirkkil: yay!!!
[08:36] <swe3tdave> so it will also be more easy with translation.. :)
[08:36] <froud> exactly
[08:37] <froud> and with maintenance
[08:37] <mvirkkil> froud = the king of exaggeration
[08:37] <mvirkkil> ;)
[08:37] <froud> huh
[08:37] <mvirkkil> froud: But thanks for making me feel welcome.
[08:37] <mvirkkil> I was referencing the "yay!!!" 
[08:38] <swe3tdave> froud: maybe, im not sure yet.. heheh
[08:39] <froud> swe3tdave: ok well shout if you need help
[08:39] <swe3tdave> froud: thx
[08:40] <froud> swe3tdave: no prob, you going to work on the docs
[08:41] <froud> you'll need to checkout the source
[08:41] <froud> ouch!
[08:41] <froud> svn co https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk
[08:42] <swe3tdave> froud: i would like to, i'm still trying to figure out that stylesheet thingny.. 
[08:42] <froud> no need to
[08:42] <froud> first focus on the xml
[08:42] <froud> tackle xsl later dude
[08:42] <froud> have you installed a toolchain?
[08:43] <swe3tdave> no.. what is a toolchain?
[08:43] <froud> Hmm
[08:43] <froud> ok
[08:43] <froud> you need some things installed to work with docbook
[08:43] <froud> sudo apt-get install xsltproc
[08:43] <froud> sudo apt-get install docbook
[08:43] <froud> sudo apt-get install docbook-xsl
[08:44] <swe3tdave> ok, i already installed these..
[08:45] <froud> sudo apt-get install poxml (from kdesdk)
[08:45] <swe3tdave> this one too
[08:45] <froud> then subversion
[08:45] <froud> sudo apt-get install subversion
[08:45] <swe3tdave> this one too..
[08:45] <froud> OK so you have a toolchain
[08:46] <froud> what editor r you using?
[08:46] <swe3tdave> gedit
[08:46] <froud> OK
[08:46] <froud> so you can checkout the doc srcs
[08:46] <froud> and hack them with that
[08:47] <froud> don't worry about the xsl, we will put that in place for you
[08:47] <froud> all you will need to do in future is do make book'
[08:47] <froud> and it will chug away and create the presentation formats
[08:48] <mpt> http://toastytech.com/guis/osx13help.png
[08:48] <froud> mpt: take it you dontlike my picture
[08:48] <mpt> What picture's that?
[08:49] <froud> the one I sent to the list
[08:49] <mpt> I haven't seen it
[08:49] <froud> darn file size was too big
[08:50] <froud> what's your email
[08:50] <mpt> four unread messages from you ...
[08:50] <mpt> mpt at myrealbox dot com

[08:52] <swe3tdave> DocBook, DocBookReference, etc...
[08:52] <mpt> froud: I wasn't admiring the help viewer design in that screenshot, I was admiring the content :-)
[08:52] <froud> mpt: OK
[08:52] <mpt> hmmm
[08:53] <froud> mpt: the svg is in svn you can make changes
[08:53] <mpt> Your design would be very good for a CD-ROM encyclopedia
[08:53] <mpt> Like a Wikipedia CD, for instance
[08:53] <froud> or for a help system with lost of books
[08:53] <mpt> but, you see
[08:54] <mpt> if I want help
[08:54] <mpt> I Just Don't Care about "books" :-)
[08:54] <mpt> Yeah, I'm a whiny little bugger
[08:54] <mpt> sorry
[08:54] <froud> postive input dude
[08:55] <froud> not negative
[08:55] <froud> negative is the way to the dark side
[08:55] <mpt> fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to cries of "RTFM"
[08:55] <mpt> or something like that
[08:55] <mpt> ok
[08:55] <froud> swe3tdave: Hmmm old pages, if you are new to docbook follow www.docbook.org
