judaxHello01:31
JonAHey guys, it the transcript of last night's meeting up? I've been snowed under with work this last week like never before :-)01:31
judaxI have not seen it yet, jsgotangco said he was going to do it when he woke up, I went to the mtg however01:32
jsgotangcothe chat transcript are always available in fabbione's shell01:33
judaxjsgotangco: you didn't sleep long01:33
jsgotangcoi haven't done the minutes...i just woke up 2 hours ago :)01:33
jsgotangcoyeah i can survive a 4 hour sleep01:33
judaxthat would kill me01:33
JonAjsgotangco: Got a URL for fabbione's webspace? Much appreciated :-)01:33

jsgotangcohmm the live hula account doesnt seem to accept email01:41
JonAThanks for the URL, jsgotangco.01:41
judaxjsgotangco: aren't we basing our docspecs on the one for the StyleGuide?01:41
jsgotangcoJonA: its in the topic btw :)01:41
jsgotangcojudax: its favored for consistency, but the premise is that all docs should have an overview01:42
judaxagreed, I see that froud put some docspec outlines in svn for Kubuntu that are a bit different than the format that the01:43
judaxStyleguide uses01:43
judaxI was going to begin writing one and wanted to be consistent01:44
JonAjsgotangco: Hey, people read those things?! :-)01:45
jsgotangcoheh01:45
judaxnobody ever said that :)01:45
jsgotangcohmmm strange the hula calendar app assumes every sched needs an invitation01:46
jsgotangcoeven events01:47
judaxanyway, I don't think it would look good if all docspecs were done differently01:50
jsgotangcoi agree01:55
judaxjsgotangco: I am going to do it on the wiki in the style the jeffsch used and worry about the stuff in svn later01:57
jsgotangcoyeah i agree we make it simpler first01:59

Burgundaviajdub, I thought the comment was funny07:06
Lizjdub, is there a way to just filter all the lotto emails out without having to "discard all marked deferred"..or does that do an automatic filter?07:09
Lizi kinda thought that would do it on the whole email address07:09
jdubLiz: oh, not quite like that, no07:10
jdubLiz: when we shift the lists to the datacentre, we'll have reasonable spam filtering and so on07:10

jsgotangcoi wouldn't really do that10:22
robitaillepersonally I never use the cdrom in my sources.list10:22
jsgotangcoi just find it handy though to have it because i wouldn't have to download everything just in case10:23
robitailleprobably because I can never find my Ubuntu CD... and I know all the updated stuff is online10:23
jsgotangcoits not an issue really if you have a nice online connection10:24
