[06:41] theCore: not sure. we will have to see. [06:42] theCore: you have to be a member before you can be a MOTU and I think you also get a @ubuntu.com email address and irc hostname cloak [06:43] LaserJock, cool [06:44] LaserJock, i hope i could be too a ubuntu member [06:45] LaserJock, how much time it took you to become a Ubuntu member ? [06:47] right now I am working on a email to the ubuntu-motu mailing list asking for feedback on our outline [06:47] theCore: you need to have contributed for about 2 months [06:49] LaserJock, it isn't too long, I though it was 1 or 2 years of active contribution :) [06:50] LaserJock, good idea [06:56] LaserJock, there is quite a lot of docs about packaging on the wiki ...

I'm busy with real life work, etc. I haven't got much of a reply from the MOTU yet but probably take a bit. [09:34] LaserJock, are you chemist? [09:35] theCore: yes, 4th Phd student in Physical Chemistry [09:36] 4th year, that is [09:36] LaserJock, wow, i wanna be a chemist too [09:37] theCore: really, cool [09:37] LaserJock, or something related to science [09:38] LaserJock, yea, i even pushed my college entry by 1 year, just to get Natural Science course [09:39] cool [09:49] LaserJock, now, sup? [09:49] mdke: well, I got membership yesterday [09:49] yeah cool, sorry about my failure to turn up [09:50] mdke: np, I made it pretty easily I think. They didn't even ask me any questions really [09:50] :) [09:50] knew it [09:52] I also emailed the ubuntu-motu mailing list about the packaging guide. [09:52] theCore and I worked on an outline at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPackagingGuide/Outline [09:53] rocking [09:58] LaserJock: that outline looks great [09:58] mdke: I think perhaps jgotangco emailed elmo about getting me commit acesss to the repo [09:59] jjesse: thanks, feel free to send feedback [10:00] cool [10:00] LaserJock, that should be done via an rt request [10:00] mdke: ? [10:02] application for commit access should be done via an rt request, if possible [10:02] mdke: what is rt? [10:02] it is the system of admin requests that canonical have [10:02] i guess it is "request tracker" [10:03] mdke: so do I need to do anything for that? [10:03] LaserJock, maybe jerome did that [10:03] request tracker is www.bestpractical.com product [10:03] its a great helpdesk software [10:03] we use it at work [10:04] we used perldesk [10:05] (though at that stage it was free and we heavily modified it) [10:08] mdke: so should I join the ubuntu-doc LP team? [10:08] sure [10:14] theCore: what sections have you worked on so far? [10:14] LaserJock, the preface, the intro, and toc [10:15] do you guys need someone to commit something? [10:15] LaserJock, but they really beta right now [10:15] theCore: k [10:15] jjesse: I think we are early enough that we will wait until I get commit access [10:15] LaserJock: that's cool, i can commit if you need it [10:15] as theCore said, it's pretty beta right now ;-) [10:15] jjesse: thanks for the offer === Burgwork [n=corey@S010600131016cf6f.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === Burgwork [n=corey@S010600131016cf6f.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === mhz [n=mhz_chil@pc-252-84-215-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === mpt [n=mpt@200-158-80-35.dsl.telesp.net.br] has joined #ubuntu-doc [10:27] LaserJock, editing a DocBook is really a nightmare ... every single tag must be correctly used or the whole thing don't work [10:28] :) [10:28] perfectionism :) [10:29] mdke, maybe ... [10:29] theCore: if you want you can just work on the actual content and let me worry about the Docbook until you get comfortable with it [10:31] mdke, shall I approve LaserJock into the LP doc team? [10:31] Burgwork, sure thing [10:31] LaserJock, i'm quite ok with the DocBook format, the thing is if I want to anything to the formating I need to make sure every tags I remove or add are correctly closed [10:31] mdke, LaserJock approved [10:31] :) [10:31] cool thanks Burgwork [10:31] np [10:32] Burgwork: thanks a lot [10:34] LaserJock, welcome aboard!
