froudAfrican Greetings08:18
froudplovs: ping :-)08:19
jsgotangcohi08:19
froudjsgotangco: howzit08:20
plovsfroud: morning!08:20
jsgotangconot bad im just reading stuff i bought the oreily docbook at the bookstore last night08:20
froudjsgotangco: cool08:20
froudplovs: where the hell have you been dude, I missed you08:21
plovsfroud: :-) that's nice to hear, working and vacationing mostly, i'm working on a debian-installer for work to install our debian boxes08:22
froudplovs: cool, dude. you thinking of helping on docs?08:22
plovsthinking yes, but actually doing anything, not yet, i leave for another week in three hours, vacation is killing me :-)08:23
plovsbut later, i really would like to08:24
froudplovs: well, that's ok. you know that you are always welcome here08:24
froudplovs: but you will have to arrange for you commit account again08:24
froudplovs: we moved to svn in canonical server farm sometime back08:25
froudI dont remember you getting an acount08:25
plovsno problem, i know where to find you08:25
plovshow are things in the docs?08:26
froudplovs: enrico is still around, busy with work, send him a your public pgp and username08:26
froudplovs: we are making steady progress08:26
froudthe team has grown08:26
froudmore hands and eyeballs to work with, makes it cool08:27
froudplovs: jsgotangco is now secretary08:29
froudjeffsch: thanks for bringing strip path from xsl 1.68.1 to our custlayer08:31
jeffschyou're welcome. I still can't understand it's purpose though...08:32
froudjeffsch: what strippath08:33
jeffschyeah08:33
froudyeah rather stupic template08:33
froudstupid08:33
jeffschthere must be some method in the madness08:33
froudbut at least we can use our custom layers to circumvent such problems. That's the other good thing about custom layers08:34
froudI see that you have learned to swim well in xsl and the db nwalsh stylesheets ;-) cool stuff08:35
froudthe nwdb xsl's are hectic08:35
froudpowerful but hectic08:35
jeffschtweren't nuthin. I just grepped for "fileref" then followed the trail to strippath08:36
froudhe he08:36
jeffsch"swimming" would be an exageration08:37
froudwell even I admit that I tend to drown in them08:37
froudjeffsch: but that is where all the power of docbook is, so no choice must swim and sink there sometimes08:39
froudjeffsch: sorry I did not get to the style guide over the weekend08:43
frouddid everything else except that :-)08:43
jeffschI was thinking something like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocBookReference would be good for https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StyleGuide/DocBookConventions08:44
froudyes like the kde markup guide08:44
froudjeffsch: I think gnome also has such an animal, right?08:45
jeffschyeah, but mostly in the GNOME Handbook of Writing Software Documentation08:46
froudyah, that's it08:47
froudwe most have a mix between the two, and we exclude some g and k specific stuff08:47
froudexcept for g and k specific aps08:47
froudbtw, ppl its a good idea to lookout for new apps that will be developed by k/ubuntu for breezy. If we can we should grab them and document them08:49
froudI heard that there is an update-notifier for kubuntu planned08:49
froudok morning coffee finished, time to start my day. c ya later08:50
jsgotangcoplovs, did hornbeck contact you09:14
plovsjsgotangco: not lately, no09:16
jsgotangcoplovs, he's been looking for you specifically, since he is writing a book and was looking for you09:18
jsgotangco(for APress)09:18

mdkesup?10:09
jsgotangcoim trying out ERC10:09
jsgotangcoever since im using ION, i've been wanting everything to be minimalist10:10
mdkean easy thing to organise the meeting would just be to make a permanent wiki agenda page, like the CC does, then no organisation is needed, it can just happen every 2 weeks10:10
mdkei think we should have one this week10:10
jsgotangcoif I finish compiling all issues and call up a meeting for thursday, i think it would be too soon IMO, i was thinking tuesday next week10:11
jsgotangcoand set up a regular 2-week interval meeting after that10:12
mdke:(10:12
mdkethat is bad news10:13
jsgotangcohuh?10:13
mdkewe have lots of things we need to get sorted and have been waiting for the meeting10:13

mdkebut we can make one here, and I'll put it up later10:17
jsgotangcosame here10:17
jsgotangcook10:17
jsgotangco1st up in agenda: StyleGuide10:17
mdkegood10:17
mdkenext, whether to ship in html10:17
mdkenext, whether to profile our documentation10:17
jsgotangcohold on10:18
mdkesure10:18
jsgotangcoi think we should still fill up the details on DocteamProjects10:18
mdkego on...10:18
mdkein what way fill up?10:18
jsgotangcodoc status and html previews10:18
jsgotangcothere's so much admin stuff to do in those ocs10:18
jsgotangcodocs10:18
mdkethat's another issue10:19
mdke(docteam.ubuntu.com)10:19
mdkeok so we have 4 topics so far10:19
jsgotangcojust a way to upload them would do10:19
mdkewiki team could be a 5th topic10:20
mdkewhat else?10:20
jsgotangcohmmmm10:20
mdkei want to talk about translation but it can be done at a later meeting10:20
jsgotangcothat's all i could thik of at the moment10:20
mdkei think that is enough10:21
jsgotangcoi thought translation is a rosetta issue10:21
mdkeits a lot10:21
mdketranslation is done in rosetta but then needs to be handled by us10:21
mdkebut it doesn't need to be discussed at the next meeting10:22
mdkei think those issues are already more than enough ;)10:22
jsgotangcomaybe we should move rosetta at a later date10:22
mdkemove rosetta?10:22
jsgotangcothe meeting :)10:22
mdkethat's what I said10:22
jsgotangcook to summarize10:22
jsgotangcoah10:22
jsgotangco1.) tackling the StyleGuide 2.)what would be the preferred docteam format to ship (HTML/XML)10:23
jsgotangco3.) document profiling10:24
jsgotangco(KDE/GNOME, etc.)10:24
jsgotangco4.) docteam.ubuntu.com (where will we host our status and preview docs)10:24

jjesseyup, so not to duplicate things, make sense to me05:17
gtayloryeah, I haven't done enough work in the userguide to warrant any status changes yet though05:18

froudin our mailing list?05:20
froudas far as I know all are done. lemme check05:20
froudah ha new one05:20
froudanyone with commit can checkit and commit05:21
