jsgotangco##02:22
LaserJockahh, I was trying just #02:23
crimsunjust found that myself (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpOnProcessingInstructions)02:23
LaserJockdoh, and I was on that page. I saw that # followed by a keyword was for processing so I thought it wasn't it. I didn't see the first bullet :(02:25

KyralI'm kinda disappointed that I couldn't use a GPL Comptable license for my blog...04:21
KyralI put it under CC-ShareAlike04:22
LaserJockKyral: why can't you?04:26
KyralCC-ShareAlike isn't GPL Compat04:26
KyralWhats the Wiki under again?04:27
MadpilotKyral: nobody's quite sure... :P04:28
Kyrallol04:28
MadpilotCC:PD is the current plan for "later"04:28
KyralWell, for the time being, consider my stuff under the same license as my blog :P04:29
Kyraluntil a license is decided04:29
=== mhz [n=mhz_chil@moinmoin/fan/mhz] has joined #ubuntu-doc
LaserJockKyral: what do you mean? you have no choice as to the license of your blog?04:47
KyralNo I meant that no GPL Compatible License really fits blogs04:47
LaserJockoh04:48
LaserJockI see. I really don't understand these licenses very well. All I know is that I'm pretty much forced to use GPL for the Packaging Guide04:49
KyralGFDL?04:49
LaserJockno GPL04:50
=== mpt [n=mpt@219-89-159-91.jetstart.xtra.co.nz] has joined #ubuntu-doc
LaserJockbasically all of the Debian packaging docs are GPL'd so for me to use material from DNMG or Debian Policy I sorta need to keep that. Also the Ubuntu Packaging Guide and the Ubuntu Developer's Reference need to be compatible and the UDR is going to be GPL04:52
Kyralah04:52
KyralYah I would put my Blog under GPL...but for some reason the GPL doesn't seem to work for stuff like Blogs, at least IMO04:53
LaserJockwell, I'm not sure why the Debian docs are GPL'd but I'm not sure that GFDL is DFSG compatible04:55
LaserJockwe need one license to rule them all ;-)04:55
Kyralbut it seems like the CC-by-Sa is like the GFDL04:55
LaserJockyeah04:55
KyralWhich is what my blog is under04:55
LaserJockwell, the doc team does a GFDL/CC-SA dual license04:56
LaserJockexcept for me04:56
KyralI guess you could technically call the words "Source Code" for the English Language04:56
LaserJockwell, it really doesn't make much sense for documentation, but I do wish that the GFDL was compatible with the GPL04:58
KyralPersonally I don't see why it isn't04:58
KyralFrankly I think that its good that the DRM clause is in the GFDL05:01
LaserJockhmm, on the gnu site they say the Cc Attribution-Sharealike 2.0 license is not GFDL compatible05:03
=== bhuvan [n=bhuvan@ubuntu/member/bhuvan] has joined #ubuntu-doc
KyralI am using the 2.5 ;P05:03
LaserJocki see, 2.0 and 2.5 are much different05:05
KyralWhat does it say for the 2.5 (writing a new entry, can't be bothered to look :P)05:05
LaserJockdoh, no, I was just looking at the dummary of 2.505:05
Kyralah05:05
LaserJock*summary05:05
LaserJockthere is a big issue with scientific software licenses, a lot of times we use some sort of academic license where it is free for non-commercial uses05:07
crimsuneven that's not DFSG-free.05:09
crimsun[clause 1 of DFSG] 05:10
LaserJockcrimsun: that's what I'm saying. academic licensing is common for scientific apps but it is not DFSG compatible05:18

LaserJockhi theCore 06:51
theCorehello LaserJock 06:52
LaserJockdid you have something to send me?06:52
theCorenot yet, I do some polishing06:52
theCoreI'm trying to find good references06:53
LaserJockhave you done anything for patch and diff?06:53
theCorejust a quick overview06:53
theCoreI think I will remove the `make' examples06:56
LaserJocktheCore: np, I worked a little on the bugs section06:56
LaserJocktheCore: I think that is a good idea, I thought you did a good job but we just don't have a lot of run to explain everything06:56
theCoreyah, I think we should concentrate more on the `packaging' stuff06:57
LaserJockright, but at least giving the reader a place to go read more on important subjects is really a help06:58
theCorethat why I'm searching for good references ;)06:59
LaserJockI've got to go, it's bed time. but if you find particularly good packaging references stick them on the Resources wiki page07:01
LaserJockgood night07:01
theCoreciao07:01
jsgotangcorobotgeek_away, i got your patch i'll apply it now07:07

mdkejsgotangco, gah08:23
mdkei've just noticed that I forgot to add the edubuntu Makefile yesterday08:24
jsgotangco:D08:24
mdkecrap, it's in my working copy but I didn't svn add it08:24
jsgotangcoi didnt notice it either i was busy on something else08:24
jsgotangcowell we can trigger a build now so i can show something in the meeting later08:24
mdkei don't have the laptop that my W/C is on08:25
mdkei'll try and get to it in a few hours08:25
mdkeif i do, i'll commit and do a build08:25
jsgotangcothanks08:25
mdkesorry bout that08:25
mdkewhen is the meeting?08:25
jsgotangco12UTC08:26
mdkeoh, i can't do it before then :(08:27
robotgeekthat's like in another 5 hours08:27
mdkestupid08:27
jsgotangcorobotgeek, yes, if JaneW is willing heh08:27
jsgotangcomdke, its ok dude i'll just churn out something later08:27
robotgeekjsgotangco: is this a different meeting?08:27
jsgotangcoim just dumping text at the moment08:27
jsgotangcorobotgeek, edubuntu08:27
robotgeekah okay. i'll be in bed then :)08:28
jsgotangcoi was waiting for the server to build, when i saw it didn't build i though you werent able to commit heh08:28
robotgeekah, the doc team meeting is on 17th08:28
jsgotangcorobotgeek, where are you located anyway?08:29
robotgeekright now in TX - UTC - 6.0008:29
jsgotangcoouch08:29
robotgeeki'm actually moving up north-east , so i'll be UTC - 5.00 from 18th onwards08:30
jsgotangcoi thought you were somewhere nearer...hehehe08:31
robotgeekjsgotangco: i am from India, however08:31
jsgotangcoyeah08:32
=== mdke is not sure about these procedure tags
jsgotangcojeff is right though08:34
mdkedo we really want things displaying as "Procedure 1: blah"08:34
mdke?08:34
mdkeI think that having the word "Procedure #" in every small title is going to look bad08:34
jsgotangcowell if its a step by step thing, i guess so08:34
mdkeProcedure 57: Opening the Location Bar08:35
mdkeProcedure 58: Shutting down GNOME08:35
mdkeProcedure 59: Changing the Desktop Background08:35
mdkei think that would look terrible08:35
jsgotangcowell08:36
robotgeeki tht that applied only to kde?08:36
jsgotangcothat's where docbook fails08:36
mdkerobotgeek, no, it applies if you use the <procedure> tag08:36
robotgeeki meant, it was a kde guideline?08:37
jsgotangcono that08:37
=== robotgeek shuts up and reads
jsgotangcono that's docbook08:37
mdkewe don't _have_ to use certain tags if we think they look bad08:41
mdkethere is nothing wrong with numbered or bulleted lists, I think08:42
jsgotangcounless we convert them to something else08:44
mdkewhat do you mean?08:44
jsgotangcolike convert it to html or pdf08:44
robotgeekcan't procedure be hacked to not display the number? 08:44
mdkerobotgeek, i don't know, i doubt it08:45
jsgotangcoprobably not with walsh scripts08:45
mdkein any case, we ship xml, so we're tied to the gnome stylesheets too08:45
robotgeeki think i'll spend my time on the flight reading about docbook08:45
mdkeit's not the number that bothers me though08:46
mdkeit's the word "procedure" everywhere08:47
mdkei'd rather the user know what the section is about08:47
mdkeactually I suppose what will happen is that you'll get two titles, like this:08:48
mdke1.3.4 World Wide Web08:48
mdkeProcedure 1: Using Firefox08:48
mdkeProcedure 2: Installing flash08:48
mdkeetc08:48
robotgeekyeah, the word procedure sucks :)08:49
jsgotangcohardcore due08:50

=== bhuvan is unable to validate current desktop guide
Madpilotthe Ubuntu DG?10:41
Madpilotwe've got two 'desktop guides' now, remember :P10:42
bhuvanMadpilot, ubuntu/desktopguide/C/desktopguide.xml10:42
Madpilothmm... the whole thing works in Yelp Breezy for me - current svn10:43
bhuvanyep, yelp renders fine. but they are not valid xml files!10:44
Madpilothmm... I just rely on Yelp to catch errors, TBH, I haven't ever bothered with the validation script thing10:46
jsgotangcodude the validation script should come first10:48
jsgotangcoor else the html won't build10:48
Madpilot" ./validate.sh ubuntu/desktopguide/C/desktopguide.xml" returns no complaints here10:51
Madpilotrevision 243010:51
bhuvanyep, ./validate.sh ubuntu/desktopguide/C/preface.xml does not10:52
bhuvanseems it's not an issue..10:52
bhuvanit was complaining about xref linkend10:52
bhuvanit gets solved when we run 'yelp desktopguide.xml'10:53
Madpilotdoes the validate script just work on the one file you feed it, or does it assemble the whole DocBook structure like Yelp does?10:53
bhuvanit assemble whole docbook structure10:53
Madpilotgood to know10:53
bhuvani was wrong assuming dg = sg10:53
bhuvanin sg, we would be able to validate individual files and master file (serverguide.xml)10:54
bhuvanbut in dg, it is not so.. anyway everything works fine, forget it10:54
