jsgotangcohi robitaille06:44
robitaillehello jsgotangco 06:45
robitaillehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mylene_Farmer   sigh.   why people put useless crap on the wiki.  But cannot delete it since that person is linking to it from his wiki page06:46
HrdwrBober yes you can06:47
jsgotangcohmmm06:47
robitaillebut I didn't know she was born in Montreal... I always thought she was from France (I have a couple of CD from her)06:47
robitailleyes I can...but it's not very polite :)06:47
HrdwrBobno, but creating wiki pages for random french/canadian singers06:47
jsgotangcolol06:48
HrdwrBobis not really the purpose06:48
=== robitaille is too nice tonight on this canadian thanksgiving day :)
jsgotangcounless she actually uses ubuntu06:48
HrdwrBobyeah06:48
HrdwrBobif she endorses ubuntu, maybe L(06:48
HrdwrBob:)06:48
robitaillewell, mylene farmer + linux (or Ubuntu) in Google doesn't turn up anything interesting06:50
jsgotangcolol06:51
ajmitch_get the page deleted :)06:51
ajmitch_it's certainly WikiSpam06:51
=== jsgotangco doesn't even know mylene farmer
jsgotangcoAsia Carrera is more likely to use ubuntu06:52
robitaillejsgotangco,  http://www.famousbabes.com/myleneF/mylene.htm  06:53
jsgotangco Granted, the first impression you get of Mylene can be quite frightening. She's like the poster girl for New Age artists with a psychosexual death obsession. The upside is that it's allowed her to appear completely naked in a number of her music videos.06:53
robitaillefor the people going to UBZ, be very careful of girls in Montreal :)06:54
ajmitch_sounds like an ubuntu user06:54
jsgotangcooh i'll taker her anytime instead of celine dion06:54
jsgotangcorobitaille: do they bite?06:54
robitaillejsgotangco, they can :)06:55
robitaillewhy do you think I left town?06:56
robitaille(this conversation is going nowhere...maybe I should delete the wiki page and be done with it)06:56
robitailleand the wiki page is gone...07:00
jsgotangcolol07:01
jsgotangcook and i read further on francophone belles biting07:01
HrdwrBobrobitaille: ooer07:13
HrdwrBobI think I will have to go to UBZ now07:13

jbaileyjsgotangco!!!03:37
jsgotangcoso you finally came out from hibernation....03:38
jsgotangco(with an upload vengeance)03:38
Kamping_Kaiserlol. sure did03:38
jbaileyjsgotangco: Yeah, sorry about keeping it in my local tree.03:39
jbaileyIt was just in so many states where it didn't work.03:39
jbaileySo I didn't want to commit those.03:39
jbaileyI've figured out what the tree should look like on the trunk, though.03:39
jsgotangcoits alright, im almost done with the relesae notes as well03:39
jbaileyAh, cool.03:43
Kamping_Kaisercan i ask about doing the diffs using svn, i have the wiki bookmarked (so will have a play with it), but is that the stock instructions? or are there some others (i dont mind particularly, i almost feel like reading a man page)03:43
jsgotangcoKamping_Kaiser, that's as easy as you can get03:43
Kamping_Kaiserok. ill go have some svn fun :)03:44
jsgotangcojbailey, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyReleaseNotes is updated03:44
jbaileyjsgotangco: Did we figure out what to do with them now? =)03:44
jsgotangcojbailey, err can you still upload?03:45
jsgotangcothe doc doesn't have entities03:45
jbaileyWhich doc?03:45
jbaileyI checked them all, none of them seemed to error.03:45
jsgotangcobreezy-release-notes.xml03:45
jbaileyIs that on the branch?03:46
jsgotangcoyes03:46
jsgotangcognome/releasenotes/C03:46
jbaileyIs there an OMF to go with it?03:46
jsgotangcoNOT YET03:46
jsgotangcoim not in my work machine =(03:46
jsgotangcoit seems we have no known issues?03:47
jbaileyEh?  No idea.03:48
jsgotangco(well no devs seem to want to write one)03:48
jsgotangcooh well i'll delete the section then03:48
jsgotangco(let them feel the wrath of users spamming bugzilla)03:49
jbaileyAyup03:49
Kamping_Kaiserdoes anyone know how long untill the svn /branches/breezy is merged into /trunk?04:00
jbaileyKamping_Kaiser: I will hack on that probably on Friday.04:01
jsgotangcoKamping_Kaiser, in a few days =)04:01
jsgotangcoit'll be fun04:01
Kamping_Kaiserok :) thanks ppl. 04:01
Kamping_Kaiserfun? how fun can it be :O04:01
jbaileyjsgotangco: I'll write something up to the list a bit later today talking about my thoughts on it.04:01
jsgotangcosure04:01
jsgotangcojbailey, its like we have a team atm04:01
jsgotangco=(04:02
Kamping_Kaisero_0?04:05
jsgotangcoKamping_Kaiser, don't worry hehe04:05
jsgotangcoits just really quite before release; we'll fix that in a few days04:05
Kamping_Kaisermmm. im waiting to find out how this works. im getting bits and pieces of info, but pity i didnt join the list (and jump in here) while stuff was still going on 04:07
=== Kamping_Kaiser will wind up with half the wiki bookmarked if he doesnt watch himself :|
jsgotangcoKamping_Kaiser, don't worry after every release, we always do a fresh start04:13
jsgotangcoperfect tme to jump in04:13
Kamping_Kaiserok. great :) ill make myself available to be at meetings/whatever ( i asume you catch up here?)04:13
jsgotangcoubuntu-meeting04:14

mdkejbailey, nice work on -docs05:38
mdkejbailey, i don't know if you can do anything about this, but inter-document links aren't working properly. They don't point to the particular question that they should be linking to, but rather just link to the top of the relevant section that the question is in.05:40
jsgotangcohi mdke 05:42
jbaileymdke: I wouldn't count that as release critical enough to try at this point.05:42
jbaileymdke: I want to do one more upload, which is the release notes with an OMF file and then send her off.05:42
=== jsgotangco slaves that now
jsgotangcojust finishing the edubuntu RC annoucement05:43
mdkejbailey, it is quite critical I guess because it means that many of the answers in the document don't fully explain how to do something (as they cross refer to a previous answer), but again, your call.05:44
mdkehiya jsgotangco 05:44
mdkemaybe the problem is due to yelp05:46
mdkewho knows05:46
jsgotangcoi thought of something post breezy05:47
jsgotangcomake a table of whatever is borked with the links in yelp05:47
jsgotangcoand fix it (just a few omfs really)05:47
jbaileyjsgotangco: The trick will be to file all of yelp's bugs that we come across.05:48
jbaileyThen seb and I can fix them.05:48
mdkehmm05:48
mdkejsgotangco, what happened to the css for about-ubuntu?05:48
jbaileyjsgotangco: It's there...05:48
=== jsgotangco looks at jbailey
mdkeno, it's there05:49
mdkei mean, what happened to it, as in, did anyone do any work on it to make it look nice?05:49
=== jsgotangco looks at jbailey again
jbaileymdke: No.05:50
mdkethat is clearly not jbailey's job05:50
mdkeit was our job05:50
jbaileyI had said I was going to try.05:50
mdkeahh05:50
jbaileyBut I didn't come up with any brilliant ideas that still allowed the source to be generated from the about ubuntu page.05:50
jbaileyMy conclusion is mostly that it shouldn't be the about ubuntu page.05:51
jsgotangcoi was busy with edubuntu and the ubuntu release notes but we just don't have enough time really05:51
jbaileyIt should be something sexy and snazzy that is unrelated.05:51
mdkeyeah05:51
mdkejbailey, well i think it shouldn't be a local page at all... but since it is there...05:51
mdkewe needed to get henrik on it05:51
jbaileyNeeds to be a local page -05:51
jbaileyNot all machines are network connected =)05:51
jsgotangcoi agree05:51
mdkejbailey, yes but, at risk of going over old arguments, firefox is a webbrowser05:52
jbaileyWhich can be used to view local documents. =)05:52
jbaileyI do it all the time.05:52
mdkeyou're a developer05:52
mdkeoh well05:52
jbaileyDude, I know of no better way to get to the system documentation.05:52
jsgotangcoi agree05:52
jbaileyyelp sucks for viewing HTML docs.05:53
mdkeno need to rack this argument up again05:53
mdkethe fact is, the home page is about-ubuntu05:53
mdkehow about making the font smaller?05:53
jbaileymdke: To win my support on this, we need to simply have a better solution for viewing the local html docs.  05:53
jbaileymdke: I don't really care what that solution is. =)  But at that point I'll buy it. =)05:53
mdkesure05:53
mdkebut my point is, that for this release we are stuck with that doc as the homepage05:54
jbaileyYup05:54
mdkehow about making the font smaller?05:54
mdkeit is a bit much to get the Ubuntu top bar I guess... we should have done that earlier :/05:54
jsgotangcomdke, if im still awake in a few hours, i'll be happy to just embed the css like the quicktour..im doing 3 things at the same time atm and doing screenshots for the quicktour05:54
jbaileyI would love to make the font smaller, and float the image to the top right.05:54
jbaileyjsgotangco: I can do these things if it's clear what I'm to do. =)05:55
jbaileyRight now I think I need to go get lunch. =)05:55
jbaileyBreakfast was 5 hours ago...05:55
=== jbailey is a wimp when it comes to food.
mdkei don't mind having a look now05:55
jsgotangcoand i need to sleep heh05:55
jbaileyCool.05:55
jbaileyI've committed everything of mine to the branch, so it's current to the package.05:55
mdkeif we are really clever we could put the Ubuntu top bar in05:55
mdkeubuntu-nl have a  pure css version of the top bar iirc05:56
jbaileyAnyone mind if I run off for 30m or so?05:56
mdkenope05:56
jbailey'k. =)05:56
mdkehow about asking henrik about this issue, jsgotangco ?05:57
mdkeok i give up06:10
mdkejbailey, feel free to make the font smaller though if you like (font-size:10pt; in body in aboutubuntu.css?)06:10
=== mdke goes home
jbaileymdke: What are you giving up on?06:23
jbaileyI'm trying to figure out what can be done with the Ubuntu logo.06:39
