Burgundaviajsgotangco, I may have to hand off the quicktour for dapper07:40
jsgotangcoBurgundavia, oh any reason why?07:41
Burgundaviajsgotangco, basically I my new job at Userful and Ubuntu stuff might collide07:42
Burgundaviacurrently I am doing no doc work07:42
jsgotangcoahh understood07:42
Burgundaviauntil I get something in writing from Userful about copyright, etc.07:42
jsgotangcowhat needs to be done on the quicktour now?07:42
Burgundaviajust screenshots07:42
jsgotangcohrmmmm07:43
jsgotangcoi guess its pretty safe to do screenshots now07:43
Burgundaviayes07:43
jsgotangcosince we're already locked for RC07:43
BurgundaviaI have started on my laptop, but didn't get them done by Sunday07:43
BurgundaviaI might be being paranoid, but I would rather be sure07:43
jsgotangcosure corey don't worry about it too much07:44
jsgotangcoim sure we'll come up with something good during UBZ07:44
robitailleI know the feeling...everything I do during the day at work is technically owned by the Queen of England...07:44
BurgundaviaI am already cleared to go to UBZ, which is good07:44
jsgotangcorobitaille, but the queen of england is also the queen of canada...07:45
=== Burgundavia doesn't know if he should be pleased that Useful views Ubuntu as a possible competitor or not
MadpilotPPCrobitaille, no, copyright is owned by the Queen of Canada, who happens also to be the Queen of various smaller places too... ;)07:45
robitailleMadpilotPPC,  I know.  Actually we just say it is owned by the crown.07:46
Burgundaviarobitaille, the Queen of Canada is a seperate legal entity to the Queen of England07:46
=== robitaille reminds himself to get a picture of the queen to put in his office one of these days :)
robitailleat the end of the day it doesn't matter: I don't own the stuff07:47
jsgotangcoif i move to victoria i need to have a picture of the queen in my house?07:47
robitaillejsgotangco,  no!07:47
jsgotangcoahh goodie07:47
robitaillea statue will be enough :)07:48
jsgotangcogyahhh07:48
MadpilotPPCjsgotangco, yes. And newcomers to victoria are also required to go to High Tea at the Empress at least once ;)07:48
Burgundaviajsgotangco, 5' minimum, in the front lawn07:48
=== jsgotangco crosses off victoria
MadpilotPPCyou can install a statue of Queen Victoria if the current model doesn't suit you, though07:49
robitaillewow...all my recent documents are gone from gnome-panel after tonight's updates.  I wonder if that's a bug07:51
Burgundaviarobitaille, hmm, open another doc, they reappear07:51
robitailleBurgundavia,  yep; they did.  confused me for a second there07:52
robitaillehummm 11pm...and still many slides to prepare for my ubuntu/foss talk on Thursday. 07:53
robitailleanother long evening coming up...07:53
jsgotangcorobitaille, where you speaking?07:54
robitaillejsgotangco,  at work. We have an internal seminars series every week, and I try to give a 1-hour talk every year.   this time around, I decided to sell foss and ubuntu to my coworkers :)07:56

mdkeyo03:26
mdkeKamping_Kaiser, have you got the latest version?03:26
Kamping_Kaisermdke: i thought so, but i could be 2 days out of date ( now i think about it), because i used my isps mirror03:27
Kamping_Kaiserill try updating the docs from the master mirrors and see then03:27
mdkeKamping_Kaiser, well that is up to date enough03:27
mdkeKamping_Kaiser, the answer is:03:27
mdke1) yes we work on that document03:27
mdke2) we can't change it now because it is frozen03:27
mdke3) file any bugs and we can fix them for the next version03:27
Kamping_Kaiserok. thanks. ill (hopefully) be helping for the next version... it may end up being my problem :|03:28
mdkeKamping_Kaiser, by the way, are you talking about errors in the document, or missing links?03:28
Kamping_Kaisermdke: example text missing. its in the "windows partitions" bit, all the example code (how to add blah line to fstab for example) is missing on my system03:29
mdkeKamping_Kaiser, is there a link to the code?03:29
Kamping_Kaiseri havent gone beond browsing the pages in help, so what sort of link?03:30
mdkelike "see this example" in blue, which you can click on03:30
mdkeor there is literally a bit missing?03:31
Kamping_Kaiserno, there is literaly a bit missing03:31
Kamping_Kaiser*adds to 'bugs to file' list. 03:31
Kamping_Kaiseris this launchpad or bugzilla?03:32
mdkebugzilla03:32
mdkei'm not sure if that will get fixed actually03:32
mdkemaybe it will be03:32
mdkeif it isn't fixed in breezy, pls file the bug03:32
Kamping_Kaiserok. i have a list i need to add when i work out my bugzilla ccount again, so ill add it tothat03:33
mdkegreat thanks03:33
mdkejbailey, awake?03:34
jbaileymdke: Sortof.03:35
mdkelol03:35
Kamping_Kaiserheh03:35
mdkejbailey, i have got a bit of free time, shall I make that string change?03:35
jbaileymdke: Sure.  It seems we're in RC freeze now. =(  I thought I still had today.03:37
jbaileyAh well.03:37
jbaileyIt'll go in post RC.03:37
mdkecool03:37
mdkejbailey, for the localised omf files, shall i delete them and rerun the script? that should regenerate them right?03:37
jbaileyThat's the theory. =)03:38
mdkejbailey, or is it better to do it by hand so that the localised xml files don't get touched03:38
jbaileyIf you're feeling particularily brave (since we have an extra day) we could run the poxml against the OMF files for the aboutubuntu and get that entry translated for the menu03:38
mdkei wouldn't know how to do that03:39
mdkeit might require regenerating the pot template and merging the translation po files...03:39
Kamping_Kaiserim going to (gasp shock horror) try and read through ubuntus (not unoffical) guide... see if i spot anything else obvious. 03:39
mdkejbailey, string changed and committed03:47
jbaileyTx03:47
mdkewe should update the translations too... but I guess that would be against the rules03:48
Kamping_Kaisersorry about not doing this look at help before, im noticing a lot  (some of which probably has bugs against it already, but ill look when i have my list) :(03:53
mdkenp04:00
mdkeyou can fix em for next release04:00
Kamping_Kaisercool. 04:01
Kamping_Kaiserbtw. i have a wiki account, what else do i need to do? (join the team in a formal way i asume?)04:01
Kamping_Kaiseroh, im on the mail list04:01
mdkenope04:02
mdkewhen work is going on for dapper properly, just start submitting patches04:02
mdkebut there is likely to be a bit of confusion until then while we work out our goals and working methods04:02
Kamping_Kaiserok. well ill be around here, and im on the list, so when i can start being usefull i want to try :|04:03
mdkeyep that would be good04:03

Please check the location and try again." the message coming from a browser.  I have paid more attention getting the last batch of updates and Update Mangler suggests that I use Synaptic Smart Upgrade or Distupgrade for ubuntu-docs, your opinion on if this is of value or just do the upgrade like the nice soft07:55
