jsgotangcomm?02:26
mdkemy boss went to manila last week02:26
jsgotangcooh he did02:26
mdkefor a wedding :)02:26
jsgotangcodid he like it?02:26
jsgotangcohe got married?02:26
mdkei'm not sure02:26
mdkeno, his g/f's sister02:26
mdkehe was meeting the inlaws for the first time02:26
jsgotangcowell02:27
mdkeanyhow, he had a good time because they went to some island02:27
jsgotangcobeing married over to a filipina/filipino means getting married to the whoe clan02:27
mdkeheh02:27
jsgotangcohe probably went to boracay02:27
mdkehe was born there himself, but he is english. his g/f is half and half02:27
jsgotangcoyes there are a lot of foreigners born here...02:28
mdkehe said the island was really small, with just one hotel, somewhere in the south?02:28
jsgotangcofor some strange reason02:28
jsgotangcohmm02:28
jsgotangcoel nido02:28
jsgotangcoperhaps02:28
jsgotangcothere are a ton of private islands over there02:28
mdkerob^, you're still not commenting wiki page edits? my god02:28
rob^well without a trivial edit button I couldn't be bothered most of the time02:29
jsgotangcorob^: face the wrath of the wiki mastah02:29
mdkei am always pissed if I accidentally press return too soon and miss my comment02:29
rob^bring back the trivial edit button then I will comment the relevent stuff02:29
mdkethere is no trivial button?02:30
rob^otherwise the only comments will be relevent stuff :)02:30
rob^oh its back02:30
=== rob^ didn't see it
mdkeit's always been there02:30
rob^nah they removed it along with the subscribe option the other day02:30
mdkeerm02:31
mdkeyou sure you're not thinking of another wiki?02:32
rob^no02:32
mdkehmm02:32
mdkemust have been an accidental theme change02:32
rob^there were a few people complaining about it02:32
rob^its just a setting in the moin config02:32
rob^iirc02:32
mdkei can svn rm kde/upstream yeah?02:32
rob^sure02:33
mhz_showerit's a setting line on wikiconfig.py, indeed02:33
LaserJockdo you guys now if there is a plan to make subscriptions stay with renaming of wiki pages?02:33
mdkeLaserJock, that is out of our hands I'm afraid02:33
mdkeit depends on the software02:34
mdkeok svn up guys02:34
rob^:)02:34
mhzLaserJock: however, I'd say that a wiki with no subscription makes absolutely no sense to my chilean ears02:34
mdkemhz, that is not what he said02:34
LaserJockmdke: ok, I thought so, thanks anyway02:34
mhzmdke: i know, i am supporting his idea02:34
jsgotangcowhat does A in svn mean02:35
mdkerob^, jsgotangco, can we get rid of some more of the miscellaneous stuff in the tree?02:35
mdkejsgotangco, Add02:35
mhzmy guess is LaserJock wants that back?02:35
mdkejsgotangco, what is that "artwork" folder?02:35
jsgotangcook thought so, at least the ubuntu upstream stuff is intact02:35
=== rob^ is still svn up-ing
jsgotangcomdke: just leave it in branch...02:36
LaserJockmhz: well, I want to be able to rename a wiki and have the subscriptions change accordingly02:36
mdkejsgotangco, the artwork?02:36
mdkeartwork is not in branch02:36
mhzLaserJock: me too :D I wanted to do some little complaining but I had second thought02:36
jsgotangcomdke: yes its mostly brochures we'll probably transfer them to marketing or art02:36
mhzLaserJock: ohh, sorry. let me think again02:37
LaserJockI am trying to clean up the MOTU wiki pages but I can't rename them without messing up everybodys subscriptions02:37
mdkeLaserJock, renaming wiki pages is a immensely bad idea, don't do it02:37
mhzLaserJock: nop, currently it is not possible, unless new Moin v.2.0 includes it02:37
mdkeLaserJock, it has other bad effects02:37
LaserJockmdke: well, I know, I just wish it were possible. what about redirecting, is that OK?02:38
jsgotangcowow FreeBSD 6 has wpa support02:38
mdkeLaserJock, check out WikiGuide. basically, you can delete pages or rename em if you make sure there are gonna be NO BROKEN LINKS, either on the wiki or the wider internet02:38
LaserJockI hate making any more clutter but then I can't really unclutter either02:39
mhzLaserJock: the thing is that my guess, is that people who actively participates in wikis should check RecentChanges on daily basis so they know which pages was renamed and/or deleted02:39
mdkejsgotangco, were you suggesting I should delete gnome/upstream too?02:39
=== apokryphos [n=apokryph@70.85.216.98] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkeit has update-manager and gnome-app-install in it02:39
mhzLaserJock: however, I'd say that a little tweaking to Moin code on 'mailing code' should do the trick to at least send an emial to subscribers02:40
jsgotangcomdke: goodness no!02:40
jsgotangcothose are ubuntu upstream and our only source atm02:41
LaserJockI am going to leave it alone for right now but I wanted to put all of the MOTU stuff under MOTU/ 02:41
mdkejsgotangco, why?02:41
mdkejsgotangco, shouldn't that be in gnome cvs?02:41
mhzLaserJock: but moving subscribers 1st page to subscribers 2nd page... that sounds like much more than tweaking moin code02:41
jsgotangcothey'e not gnome projects atm02:42
mdkejsgotangco, rob^, another thing that is a mess is that there is a libs/ directory in trunk/, kde/ and gnome/02:42
mdkejsgotangco, update-manager is definitely in gnome cvs, I saw it02:42
rob^mdke, I agree02:42
rob^dam my bb is slow02:43
jsgotangcomdke: well ok but i'm doing gai atm02:44
mdkeok there is a bit of breakage with the rename02:53
mdkethings like this: desktopguide/C/desktopguide.xml:9: warning: failed to load external entity "../gnome/libs/gnome-menus-C.ent"02:53
mdkethat needs to be gradually fixed :D02:54

jsgotangcohehe03:49
Madpilotrobitaille: enjoying their own little empire, are they?03:49
jsgotangcook let's make it the two towers then03:50
jsgotangcomarketing lp and ubuntupeople03:50
robitailleMadpilot,  they don't feel they are ready to open up to the world before they are ready between the 5 of them.03:50
jsgotangcohehe03:50
MadpilotIf there are really only 5 of them, then the sooner they link up with docteam and the other main Ubuntu teams, the better...03:50
robitaillethe way I see it, the earlier they link up with the other team, the easier it will be for them to use resources of the whole community03:52
jsgotangcorobitaille: who owns the lp team same person right?03:52
jsgotangcoit seems they prefer doing business nowadays on the their forum rather than on the list created for marketing :)03:53

nickrudI was wondering if there was any particular reason that AddingCodecsToTotemHowTo was dropped from the wiki03:56
jsgotangcoLathiat?03:56
robitaillehumm...not Lathiat.  I guess I have the name wrong.  one sec.03:57
Madpilotnickrud: probably because the content was in RestrictedContent?03:57
MadpilotRestrictedFormats, rather...03:58

nickrudor playability, for that matter (totem-xine)03:59
mdkenickrud, perhaps the best thing is to try to improve RestrictedFormats, or link off to a subpage04:00
mdkejsgotangco, i just thought, before going to bed, we should go to town on repos/vendor too :D04:01
mdkethe thought was before I go to bed, not the going to town04:01
nickrudI'm not sure if it's actually a bug, or intended, or whatever. I'll look around a bit more first04:01

robitaillegood I assume?04:10
jsgotangcoits about to reach the quality of the freebsd handbook04:11

jsgotangcooh its EN_US for co-worker04:20
mdkejordi's karma is a lot better than that04:20
mdkeoh I see04:20
mdkeyes, we have that word, i just didn't get it04:20
jsgotangcowell jordi is a different case04:20
jsgotangcohe uses lp like he plays quake or street fighter04:21
jsgotangcowhen we were in UDU, he was teased so much that he looked like Vega (of street fighter)04:22
mdkeheh04:22
robitailleI use to be near 400 of karma...but I'm now down in the 100s.04:22
mdkenah his karma is high because he uploads a lot of po and pot files04:22
mdkego to his page, then click translations04:23
jsgotangcoyes04:23
robitailleI really have to get back into the bug triage business04:23
mdkeLP crashes for me :)04:23
jsgotangcoim sure the karma system will incorporate more, but at the moment, most of the karma comes from rosetta04:23
jsgotangcomalone doesn't give that much04:23

robitailleLaserJock,  to subscribe to all, you need to use  .*06:43
LaserJockso, if I want to do all of the MOTU wiki pages can I just do MOTU* ?06:46
robitailleLaserJock,   possibly.  I never tried it, but think it should work.06:47
LaserJockwell, that is what I have. I haven't gotten any emails since I did that but it could be all the UBZ work ;-)06:50
MadpilotLaserJock: you could always subscribe to RecentChanges as a backup :P06:51
robitailleIt's 1am in Montreal.  They are all in bed, or they are all partying;  I think it was poker night tonight :)06:52
LaserJockMadpilot: good suggestion, thanks06:52
robitailleLet me go edit one of the MOTU page to see if the change shows up on your end.06:52
LaserJockrobitaille: thanks06:53
robitailledid a trivial edit to MOTUScience.   But according to the message from the wiki after my edit, I don't think it sent you an email06:54
robitaillemaybe you should use  MOTU.* as your pattern06:56
Rob2how do i get the grub menu to use the full screen of my laptop on boot?06:57
LaserJockrobitaille: could you edit MOTUScience again but not mark it as a trivial change?06:59
Madpilotis anyone else having trouble with GMail? I can log in, but then it just sits at "Loading..." forever...06:59
rob^sometimes evolution craps out with the password, even though it is correct..07:04
Madpilotno, this is in Opera, off mail.google.com - I'm going to check with FF - but Opera was working just fine last night, and I've not changed anything...07:05
robitailleMadpilot,  I had problem with gmail yesterday, but today seems fine.07:07
robitailleLaserJock,  done.  And I think an email is on its way :)07:07
rob^oh for those wondering whats going on with the ccbysa.xml, you need to use xincludes instead of entities now07:08
rob^using xincludes is kind of like using functions when programming, you can have your own variables (entities) and stuff07:08
rob^(local variables)07:08
rob^using an entity to include a .xml doc includes it exactly as is, hence doubling up on the header and causing erros07:09
rob^s/erros/errors07:09

rob^http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html07:41
rob^how odd is that?07:42
rob^and I've never even seen it before..07:42
LaserJockgreat minds think alike? [-)07:42
rob^heh07:42
LaserJockis there a guide for users of other linux distros? kind of advanced, this is how we do it in Ubuntu kind of guide.07:45
rob^umm.. there are handbooks and user guides available for other distros, and there is a gnome userguide but its pretty unloved at the moment07:46
LaserJockno, I mean for more advanced users coming from other distros to Ubuntu. Stuff like the sudo thing, dpkg-reconfigure, advanced apt-get and stuff that other, non-debian distros don't have07:48
rob^oh07:48
rob^well the desktop guide covers things like sudo but there isn't an advanced guide07:49
LaserJockI am a former gentoo user and I found some things a little hard to get used to at first07:49
LaserJockI usually find desktop guides pretty boring, so I don't read them much07:49
rob^ubuntu tends to hold your hand more07:49
rob^might be something on the wiki maybe..07:50
rob^I remember there was BreakMyUbuntu once, but it doesn't exactly cover what your after07:51
LaserJockhmm, maybe I will have to think about that some. Maybe something for the future. I'm not convinced that advanced users would even bother looking at something like that07:52

Burgundaviajsgotangco, I had a good talk with Robert Collins about bzr a couple of days ago04:40

jsgotangcowas james black there?04:41
Burgundaviajsgotangco, I am moving in that direction04:41

Burgundaviatoday I learned that bzr is going to get a simple command: bzr publish04:41
jsgotangcoyes04:41
Burgundaviawhich would push your branch to the supermirror04:41
Burgundaviathen they could tell us about their branch and we could merge it, rather than patches coming in04:42
jsgotangcoi could start a supermirror anytime if we're ready04:42
jsgotangcowell yes04:42

mdkeKyral, the best thing would be to write up a spec, and then we can talk about it04:44
Burgundaviajsgotangco, that is my thought as well. I suspect dapper+1 is more doable04:45
jsgotangcoBurgundavia: aye, dapper+1 is a reasonable target04:45

jsgotangcomdke: LP is more fun than Quake404:53

Burgundaviawe had a discussion last night about if LP needed buy-in from big existing communties to thrive04:56
mdkeheh04:56
Burgundaviaie, gnome, debian, etc.04:56
mdkewho pulled out the "foot in the door" argument04:56
Burgundaviajdub basically said that we don't need buyin, LP exists without them and provides value without buyin04:57
mdkei think LP will eventually show off it's best attributes if a lot of different communities start using it04:58
mdkebut it should be pretty mature before that happens04:58

spaynehighvoltage, which looks pretty sweet09:15
spayneLaserJock, and you changed to GNOME?09:15
highvoltagei used kde first too, and then GNOME.09:17
highvoltageit was easier for me to adjust to KDE, being a long-time windows user.09:17
highvoltagebut when i toyed a bit with gnome i got used to it, and found i was more productive in gnome than in kde.09:18
LaserJockspayne: yes. I wanted to give the whole Gnome thing a chance09:18
LaserJockspayne: there are some annoyances and some progs that I wish it had but it is really nice all the same09:18

robitailleapokryphos,  I usually triple-boot on that PC;  Windows/Ubuntu Stable/Ubuntu Unstable.  But I'm thinking of replacing the now unused Hoary partition by Kubuntu.10:18
apokryphosYou can, of course; I'd just find it weird -- I doubt you'd ever do that on another distro. Just that this one has seperate ISOs =)10:18
