mdkehaha01:04
mdkethat's the beauty of the old wiki01:04
MadpilotI'm tempted to just nuke that - "Too silly to exist" - but somebody might actually object...01:05
mdkeMadpilot, no, the page seems to be intended by the artwork team for a proper purpose01:06
mdkethe comment is a bit odd, but then again, some other comments might come01:06

jsgotangcowell yes03:54
Burgundaviathat is a not a bug03:54

jsgotangcohello robitaille 04:44
robitailleHi jsgotangco 04:44
Burgundaviaanybody know where i can find this background?04:44
Burgundaviahttp://davyd.ucc.asn.au/images/af/af-shot1.png04:44
Burgundaviathe archive doesn't appear to have it anymore04:45
robitaillewhich month is it?  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/  seems to have debs of all the months04:46
Burgundaviathose are not the images04:46
BurgundaviaI just checked04:46
robitailleBurgundavia,  are you sure? I have downloaded the December file, and there are in there 2 jpg for that month; they are background 1600x1200 jpgs04:51
robitaillethat background looks so familiar.  It  must have been one of the months...04:53
robitaillejsgotangco,  is it worth filing  a bug about a mistake in the default html for firefox in Edubuntu?  or these static start html are going the way of the dodo for dapper?04:54
Burgundaviaah, it is march04:55
Burgundaviathe static html is going away04:55
Burgundaviafor start.ubuntu.com04:55
robitaillebut start.ubuntu.com is a general ubuntu page.  you probably want something a lot more specific (and maybe kid friendly) for Edubuntu04:59
Burgundaviasure04:59
Burgundaviabut that is an edubuntu decision05:00
Burgundaviaand kubuntu one05:00
robitaillethus back to my original question to jsgotangco  since he was the doc guy for edubuntu :)05:00
Burgundaviaah, I misread it, sorry05:00
Burgundaviarobitaille, you updated your wiki page with for your laptop yet?05:02
=== Burgundavia feels like JaneW
robitailleI started.  I have updated the top LaptopTesting Page.  but haven't entered any dapper details yet in my subpage.  I was hoping to do it later tonight.  I have spent part of the day testing edubuntu with the kids :)05:03
BurgundaviaI woke up at 5pm05:04

robitailleBurgundavia,   you know, sometimes I used to that.  Then I got married :)   I got up at 8:15am, and that was a very late morning for me :)05:11
jsgotangcoits good practice to clean up the page early though05:11
jsgotangcoi was surprised to see a milestone this early too05:12
Burgundaviathat was the goal05:12
Burgundaviaget one out as soon as possibly05:12

BurgundaviaI haven't seen my gf all weekend, which is why I have been sleeping a lot05:13
jsgotangcook so girlfriends are a bane to sane sleeping habits05:14
robitaillejsgotangco,  I was asking if you want a bug report for a small mistake in the static html for firefox in Edubuntu05:15
jsgotangcorobitaille: sure05:15
bhuvanjsgotangco, i wish to discuss a small point regarding server guide, shall we ?05:16
jsgotangcobhuvan: sure let me move to a saner chat client...05:16
=== jsgotangco [n=jsg@210.4.38.43] has joined #ubuntu-doc
jsgotangcook that's better :)05:18
bhuvanfine05:18
bhuvancan we make server guide part of kubuntu-docs too ?05:18
jsgotangcoi'm sorry i haven't been able to do the minutes of the past meeting yet; i've been busy with some stuff especially with my upcoming talk in seoul05:19
bhuvanok05:19
jsgotangcobhuvan, sure its just a matter of inclusion to the package...05:19
bhuvanok, the reason is .. jjesse raised this point05:19
jsgotangcoif you remember, there was a discussion about -common05:19
jsgotangcobut that needs a lot of discussion05:19
bhuvanok05:20
jsgotangcowell in my opinion, a server guide has little need of gui tools unless the product has server gui tools05:20
bhuvantrue05:21
Burgundaviaubuntu-server has no gui tools and never will05:30
jsgotangcoBurgundavia, its about people whou would like to use say Kubuntu for a server05:31
Burgundaviaright05:31
Burgundaviabut I think we should target our server guide at ubuntu-server05:32
=== jsgotangco thinks so too
bhuvanBurgundavia, true. but, it should not restrict the kubuntu user who wish to install a server application05:32
Burgundaviathat is fine05:32
Burgundaviathey can install by commandline05:32
jsgotangcoi think its best to make the server guide as generic as possible05:33
bhuvanyeah, though we may provide instructions about other package manager in the beginning..05:33
jsgotangcothe most generic you can get is via cli05:33
Burgundaviamaybe we shoudl move the server guide to a top level folder of its own?05:33
Burgundaviabhuvan, talking about gui package management on in a serverguide is a bad thing05:33
jsgotangcounless you're RedHat05:34
bhuvanyeah!05:34
Burgundaviahence we talk about aptitude, apt-get, etc.05:34
bhuvanbut, i've planned to give an introduction about all package manage in the beginning05:34
Burgundaviathat is a bad thing, IMHO05:34
bhuvani'll use apt-get through out the document05:34
jsgotangcoyes05:34
jsgotangcoif you even mention say synaptic05:35
Burgundaviawhy do you need to bother the user with talking about synaptic at the start if you use apt-get throughout?05:35
jsgotangcoand the user decides to get it05:35
jsgotangcohe'll be downloading the whole desktop again05:35
bhuvanalso think this. what if he's installing a server application, say apache on the existing desktop (kubuntu or ubuntu) ?05:35
bhuvanhe may feel free to use either synaptic/apt-get, its upto him05:36
Burgundaviaso?05:36
bhuvanso, introduction about available packages may help 05:36
Burgundaviatalking about gui package stuff is a recipe for bad things05:36
bhuvani'm not going to use synaptic/adept though in my document. i'm using apt-get05:36
Burgundaviaand if they know how to install apache, they should already know how to use synaptic05:36
bhuvanBurgundavia, i understand05:37
Burgundaviahence we don't need to talk about it05:37
jsgotangcoi think the main goal here is to make a server guide that is very friendly just like our starter guide05:37
jsgotangcobut friendly meaning its cli-friendly and not complicated05:37
Burgundaviaand friendly means we don't bait and switch05:37

Burgundaviajsgotangco, what sort of policy do we want to have for people joining the LP team but have not generated useful work for us?09:56
jsgotangcogood question09:59
jsgotangcowell we did kick out 1 or 2 people i believe09:59
Burgundaviaand the latest two I have not approved09:59
jsgotangcooh approval is easy09:59
jsgotangcodeactivating is not09:59
Burgundaviashall I raise it on the mailing list10:00
jsgotangcosince the team is now tied up with malone, it becomes a bit complicated10:00
BurgundaviaI think it should be a group decision10:00
jsgotangcosoon it'll become tied up with a package and a supermirror10:00
Burgundaviaand wiki team is likely going to be tied to greater privs on the wiki as well10:00
jsgotangcooh i remember~10:01
=== jsgotangco should send the minutes later
jsgotangcowe talked about the lp team during the meeting10:01
Burgundaviaexcellnt10:01
BurgundaviaI was too tired to come, sorry10:01
jsgotangcoother people were there like Riddell , jbailey, ogra, etc.10:01
jsgotangcothey suggested that ubuntu-doc members should comprise approved ubuntu-members10:01
jsgotangcoso basically if an ubuntu-member wants to join the doc, it'll be easier10:02
Burgundaviaah10:02
Burgundaviaso they have to become a member before they can become a member of ubuntu-doc?10:02
jsgotangcoits not really whitelisting, but its really safe to add to commit access and lp for ubuntu-members rather than those who aren't10:02
jsgotangcobasically10:02
jsgotangcoespecially with commit privs10:02
Burgundaviaok, that seems fair10:03
jsgotangcoit needs fleshing out the details though10:03
jsgotangcobut we have a higher chance of better performance with an ubuntu-member rather than not10:03
jsgotangco(although it does leave out those who aren't into membership)10:03
Burgundaviayes10:04
Burgundaviabut that is not a big deal I think10:04
Burgundaviabut should they have to produce something for us before they are allowed to join?10:04
jsgotangcowell come to think of it, any person who contributes to doc can easily be a member10:07
jsgotangcolike bhuvan for example10:07
Burgundaviayes10:08
jsgotangcoso if he's already an ubuntu-member, we can just easily add him to -doc10:08
jsgotangcoand it makes it easier to justify to elmo svn access10:08
jsgotangcobecause a.) he's approved10:08
jsgotangcob.) he's signed the CoC10:09
Burgundaviabut several of the pending members have not producing anything useful for the team that I can see10:09
jsgotangcowe can probably tell them to contribute something first...10:09
Burgundaviain other words, should applying for membership and being an ubuntu-member be enough to give you membership to ubuntu-doc?10:09
jsgotangcowell ok that's a good question10:10
jsgotangcohow does MOTU do it?10:10
Burgundaviaanyboyd can upload to REVU10:10
Burgundaviato become a member of MOTU, you need technical board approval10:10
Burgundaviathey are not really a valid example in this case10:11
Burgundaviabut no other team is really big enough yet10:11
Burgundaviaart is too new, marketing doesn't exist, nun is dead10:11
Burgundaviawiki is too new10:11
jsgotangcohmm10:11
jsgotangcoi don't want to see our position as unique as with other teams but we do have certain upload privs which needs consideration10:12
Burgundaviayes10:12
bhuvan.. should i've to apply for ubuntu membership ?10:12
Burgundaviabhuvan, you have enough, IMHO, to apply for ubuntu-membership now10:13
jsgotangcoyes10:13
Burgundaviaand the next CC meeting to 2 days from now10:13
bhuvanok. i'll add my name for membership then10:13
bhuvanyeah10:13
BurgundaviaI like the idea of asking people to produce something before they ask for membership to ubuntu-docs10:14
Burgundaviajust as we have been doing up until now10:15
jsgotangcowell yes, it doesn't change anything10:16
Burgundaviayes, it just codifies what is there10:16
Burgundaviain case either of us drop off the planet10:16
jsgotangcoimo, membership is just an incentive/reward for contribution10:16
