| mdke | yeah, it's fun :) | 12:04 |
|---|---|---|
| Burglaptop | for certain values of "fun" | 12:07 |
| robotgeek | LaserJock: the keymap to change buffers doesn't work, you might have to change it to "nnoremap <C-l> :bn<CR>" | 12:08 |
| Madpilot | in Dapper, has the menu entry for "Add Applications" actually been changed to "Add/Remove Applications"? | 12:09 |
| Burglaptop | actually Add/Remove .... | 12:09 |
| mdke | yes | 12:09 |
| Madpilot | OK, was wondering - we're a bit inconsistent in UDG | 12:09 |
| mdke | yeah, I've been changing to Add/Remove | 12:10 |
| === manicka switching to dapper | ||
| mdke | but actually, surely they will change back | 12:10 |
| mdke | it's idiotic to have ..... | 12:10 |
| Burglaptop | mdke: post something to the -desktop list to that affect | 12:10 |
| mdke | Burglaptop, we can just ping mvo, it's probably just an accidental merge or something | 12:11 |
| Burglaptop | it would be nice to have an official policy statement either way, however | 12:12 |
| mdke | yeah | 12:12 |
| mdke | Madpilot, things like that will have to be quite thoroughly checked after string freeze, I guess | 12:13 |
| Madpilot | patch for UDG add-application inbound to the list... | 12:15 |

| mdke | Madpilot, excellent idea about the note | 12:17 |
| Madpilot | yeah - it's one thing I see a fair bit on #ubuntu | 12:18 |
| mdke | doesn't validate tho | 12:19 |
| Madpilot | exact wording might need changing a bit for clarity, I'm not sure | 12:19 |
| mdke | i'll sort it | 12:19 |
| Madpilot | gah - forgot to validate that - sorry :P | 12:19 |
| Madpilot | there's an extra set of <para> tags around the new note | 12:20 |
| Madpilot | and no <para> tags inside the <note> tags | 12:21 |
| mdke | yeah | 12:21 |

| robotgeek | okay, for audio editing, should i go ahead and put in audacity, even though it is a gtk app? | 01:39 |
| LaserJock | why? aren't there KDE audio editing apps? | 01:41 |
| robotgeek | apparently not, let me google | 01:41 |
| LaserJock | kwave? | 01:42 |
| crimsun | I don't think you should have to distinguish between Gtk and Qt apps | 01:42 |
| Madpilot | audacity isn't actually a gtk app, it's some odd widget set that's cross-platform (so it looks funny in every OS...) | 01:42 |
| robotgeek | wxgtk, i think | 01:43 |
| crimsun | wxwidgets uses Gtk by default | 01:43 |
| robotgeek | cool, i can just copy from UDG then, lol | 01:43 |
| crimsun | (much to my chagrin for Breezy...) | 01:43 |
| LaserJock | well, I just thought Kubuntu would have a KDE audio editor | 01:43 |
| Madpilot | Kaudacity? :P | 01:44 |
| === robotgeek finishes another section, lol | ||
| robotgeek | Madpilot: even if you write one, we are paste the FF :) | 01:45 |
| robotgeek | past, even | 01:45 |
| LaserJock | hmm, that seems weird though that KDE wouldn't have one? are you sure it doesn't? | 01:45 |
| robotgeek | there are others, but i am not sure what they do/if they are as good as audacity (not that i know how it works) | 01:46 |
| === robotgeek hates the "works like itunes" "works like Windows Media Player" references | ||
| Madpilot | they're what people are used to... | 01:49 |
| robotgeek | yeah, i understand :) | 01:49 |
| Burglaptop | they might not be needed | 01:50 |
| Burglaptop | what is the wmp reference to? | 01:50 |
| robotgeek | since we target switchers, it's probably a good thing | 01:50 |
| robotgeek | totem | 01:50 |
| Burglaptop | not really needed there | 01:50 |
| Burglaptop | a media player is a media player | 01:50 |
| Burglaptop | and rb is *NOT* like itunes | 01:51 |
| Burglaptop | assuming that the refernce | 01:52 |
| Burglaptop | better to talk about what the user is trying to do, rather than link the two in the peoples mind | 01:52 |
| robotgeek | To play movies, Ubuntu comes with <application>Totem Movie Player</ application> which looks and functions similar to Windows Media Player | 01:53 |
| robotgeek | etc etc, which is okay, i think | 01:53 |
| Burglaptop | bah, what a horrible sentence, kill the whole thing | 01:53 |
| Burglaptop | users don't care what plays their movies, they just want to play it | 01:53 |
| Burglaptop | plus, totem is not even in the menus anymore | 01:54 |
| robotgeek | really, what is? | 01:54 |
| robotgeek | i don't use ubuntu, so i dunno | 01:54 |
| Burglaptop | oh wait, it is | 01:54 |
| crimsun | I would drop the whole "which looks...Media Player" portion | 01:55 |
| crimsun | frankly it neither looks like nor functions like WMP | 01:55 |
| robotgeek | or itunes for amarok | 01:55 |
| Burglaptop | anyway, why are we talking about what it *is*? users don't care | 01:58 |
| robotgeek | true | 01:58 |
| robotgeek | hi, can someone tell me what to use inplace of gstreamer, since kubuntu doesn't use it anymore? http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/ch03s03.html | 01:58 |
| Burglaptop | The sentence could easily be written "Ubuntu comes with the Frabblenork Movia Player" | 01:59 |
| Burglaptop | robotgeek: what does it us? | 01:59 |
| Burglaptop | s/us/use | 01:59 |
| robotgeek | Burglaptop: excatly :) | 01:59 |
| Burglaptop | if it uses xine, you need to talk about the w32codecs, which are evil but work | 02:00 |
| robotgeek | Burglaptop: not for mp3's | 02:00 |
| Madpilot | Frabblenork - I predict there is already an OSS project with a name at least this silly... :P | 02:00 |
| Burglaptop | sadly, no | 02:01 |
| === Burglaptop goes to start Frabblenork | ||
| Madpilot | frabblenork.sf.net? | 02:01 |
| Burglaptop | ok, so I got some pork chops. Any suggestions? | 02:02 |
| === robotgeek might steal that cool name for something | ||
| Madpilot | robotgeek: it's even got a K in it, so it could be a KDE projekt | 02:03 |
| robotgeek | frabblenorK | 02:03 |
| Madpilot | now all we need is a function to go with the cool app name | 02:03 |
| Burglaptop | oK now Kiddies, time to enjoyK your desKtop! | 02:03 |
| === robotgeek smacKs Burglaptop | ||
| === Madpilot wonders how many OSS projects start with a cool name, and aquire an actual function later... :D | ||
| robotgeek | Madpilot: frabblenorK did, lol | 02:06 |

| Burglaptop | what about this idea? Can we create a project that does nothing, but looks like it does? | 02:10 |
| Burglaptop | without descending into manager speak, that is | 02:10 |
| robotgeek | Burglaptop: sounds neat, vaporware! | 02:10 |
| crimsun | aka Duke Nukem Forever? | 02:10 |
| robotgeek | crimsun: DNF is actually being developed now | 02:11 |
| robotgeek | you can't really use that reference now :) | 02:11 |
| crimsun | yeah, I've read as much, but it has been the better part of a decade, so I'm not holding my breath... | 02:11 |
| Madpilot | Burglaptop: if it's got enough eyecandy and lives on the desktop, someone will probably run it, even if it does squat... | 02:12 |
| robotgeek | Burglaptop: http://www.bernardbelanger.com/computing/NaDa/ | 02:13 |
| Burglaptop | how about Frabblesnork - The Manager(TM) | 02:13 |
| Burglaptop | note, we are not mentioning *what* it manages | 02:13 |
| robotgeek | Burglaptop: note that NaDa is not Free Software :) | 02:15 |
| Burglaptop | dammit, .er is a not a valid tld | 02:15 |
| Burglaptop | I wanted to register man.ag.er | 02:16 |

| Burglaptop | robitaille: salut | 07:23 |
| robitaille | Hi Burglaptop | 07:24 |
| Burglaptop | robitaille: so the ReStore basically blew me off. I am annoyed | 07:24 |
| robitaille | that's annoyning. Any particular reason? | 07:26 |
| Burglaptop | they said "they would think about it" | 07:26 |
| robitaille | ah, sounds like a "we'll call you back"... | 07:27 |
| robitaille | anyone knows the story behind: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Official_Ubuntu_Book_Contributions | 07:27 |
| Burglaptop | robitaille: Jono put something up. No idea. He didn't mention anything to Mako or I | 07:27 |
| robitaille | edited by the famous Jono Bacon | 07:27 |
| Burglaptop | robitaille: Jono, myself and Mako are writing the official Ubuntu book | 07:27 |
| robitaille | ah. I didn't know that | 07:28 |
| Burglaptop | Jonathon Jesse is writing a Kubuntu chapter and Bhuvan is writing the server chapter | 07:28 |
| Madpilot | Burglaptop: is that Jono of Lugradio? | 07:28 |
| robitaille | Madpilot: yes | 07:28 |
| robitaille | is there another Jono Bacon around Ubuntu? :) | 07:29 |
| Madpilot | is he as... scatalogical.. in his writing as he is on LugRadio? :P | 07:29 |
| Burglaptop | no | 07:29 |
| Madpilot | pity | 07:29 |
| Madpilot | robitaille: I didn't realize he was actually involved in Ubuntu (beyond plugging it on Lugradio) | 07:30 |
| robitaille | Jono has done some writing before: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxdeskhks/ | 07:30 |
| Madpilot | yeah, saw some of his stuff on the LG site | 07:31 |
| Madpilot | so Burglaptop why are you loitering on IRC if you've got a book deadline to meet? | 07:31 |
| jsgotangco | lol | 07:32 |
| jsgotangco | good question | 07:32 |
| Burglaptop | because pot and book writing do not go together | 07:32 |
| Madpilot | you've got stoner roommates again? :) | 07:33 |
| robitaille | sp IRC and pot goes together? :) | 07:33 |
| Burglaptop | yep | 07:33 |
| jsgotangco | im pretty much swamped with writing too at the moment | 07:33 |
| Burglaptop | the pot comes from the relative of one roommate | 07:33 |
| robitaille | after writting a couple of thesis at the university, and a couple of science papers, I have reached the conclusion that I'll never write a book. | 07:34 |
| jsgotangco | lol | 07:35 |
| jsgotangco | there's an old chinese saying about writing a book to become immortal... | 07:35 |
| robitaille | I'm not patient enough to write a book. | 07:36 |
| Burglaptop | Madpilot: dad was first published at 25. Beat him by two years! | 07:36 |
| jsgotangco | robitaille: it really eats up a lot of time | 07:37 |
| Madpilot | Burglaptop: ha | 07:37 |
| jsgotangco | apparently the europeans are much better writers since a lot of Ubuntu books have come out there | 07:38 |
| jsgotangco | already | 07:38 |
| Burglaptop | I think it is down to more linux users there | 07:39 |
| robitaille | the wiki world map of ubuntu users seems to show that most Ubuntu users are European | 07:39 |
| jsgotangco | not surprising | 07:39 |
| Madpilot | there's an ebook from France, I saw, and the Spanish one (Guadalinux?) - are there more? | 07:39 |
| jsgotangco | there are also at least 2 in germany | 07:39 |
| Burglaptop | the upcoming Ubuntu hacks book is from a US author | 07:40 |
| jsgotangco | ploum's book | 07:40 |
| jsgotangco | the publishers are having a field day | 07:40 |
| Burglaptop | Prentince Hall is seriously looking at an Edubuntu book, provided the Ubuntu book does well | 07:42 |
| Madpilot | yeah, but with 6 month release cycles, the selling season for these books isn't going to be that long... | 07:42 |
| jsgotangco | oh cool | 07:42 |
| jsgotangco | Madpilot: dapper is different | 07:42 |
| jsgotangco | Madpilot: most publishers tend to side with a "generic" reference | 07:42 |
| jsgotangco | rather than a specific release | 07:42 |
| jsgotangco | an official book will have lots of revisions though | 07:43 |
| Burglaptop | but Ubuntu books tend to concentrate on the desktop, which is the most variable part | 07:44 |
| jsgotangco | just to have good shelf visibility | 07:44 |
| Madpilot | hmm, Dapper is going to be the '5 year' release - so yeah, they'll last a bit longer | 07:44 |
| jsgotangco | a server book is more viable with a long shelf life i guess | 07:44 |
| Burglaptop | regardless of the short shelf life, Ubuntu books are going to fly off the shelf | 07:46 |
| jsgotangco | has anyone seen the g-a-i manual i wrote? | 07:46 |
| jsgotangco | comments? suggestions? | 07:47 |
| Burglaptop | jsgotangco: sorry, haven't seen it | 07:48 |
| jsgotangco | its already in the distro | 07:48 |
| Madpilot | jsgotangco: is it in our svn? | 07:48 |
| jsgotangco | yeah | 07:48 |
| jsgotangco | we just had it uploaded a few days ago with the package | 07:48 |
| Burglaptop | jsgotangco: I wonder about the installation section | 07:49 |
| jsgotangco | i just patterned it from u-m | 07:49 |
| Burglaptop | jsgotangco: you might want to make the note about it being installed by default a bit bolder and stronger | 07:50 |
| jsgotangco | feel free to comment on it on the list so i can make changes to it later | 07:51 |
| Burglaptop | the section "Main Window" might need a stronger title | 07:52 |
| Madpilot | g-a-i is dependent on Firefox? | 07:52 |
| jsgotangco | i will have to do some paid work first | 07:52 |
| jsgotangco | brb | 07:52 |
| jsgotangco | Madpilot: strange isn't it | 07:52 |
| Burglaptop | does it use gecko? | 07:52 |
| Madpilot | I used to complain about how dependant Windows was on IE; seems like we're just as dependent on Firefox... browsers are infectious or something :P | 07:53 |
| jsgotangco | app-install-data seems to rely on it | 07:54 |
| Burglaptop | jsgotangco: overall well written | 07:56 |
| Madpilot | is g-a-i called "Install and Remove Applications" or "Add & Remove..."? | 07:56 |
| jsgotangco | Install and Remove Applications is what we agreed upon | 07:56 |
| jsgotangco | (me, mvo and glatzor) | 07:57 |
| Madpilot | We've been using "Add.." in the UDG, it's "Add.." in the menus, but "Install.." in this guide? | 07:57 |
| Madpilot | is the menu entry going to change in Dapper? | 07:57 |
| jsgotangco | i dunno | 07:57 |
| Burglaptop | Madpilot: ask the -desktop list | 07:58 |
| Madpilot | When is freeze for that sort of thing, anyway? (UI/desktop details?) | 07:58 |
| Burglaptop | March 9th is UI freeze | 07:59 |
| Madpilot | and our doc freeze isn't until the 23rd or so - good. | 07:59 |
| Madpilot | Burglaptop: I'm not on -desktop - want to drop them a note and CC -doc? | 08:00 |
| Burglaptop | can do | 08:02 |
| === jsgotangco seems to like epiphany more lately | ||
| Burglaptop | epiphany is nice, no? | 08:04 |
| jsgotangco | and fast | 08:04 |
| jsgotangco | i wonder how extensible it is though | 08:04 |
| jsgotangco | the way it renders fonts is different but not noticeable | 08:05 |
| Burglaptop | the fonts are smaller | 08:07 |
| jsgotangco | yes a wee bit | 08:07 |
| jsgotangco | text size zoom is just a click | 08:08 |
| Burglaptop | yes, but the default size is more importatnt | 08:08 |
| jsgotangco | it seems to render wikipedia in the correct font size though | 08:09 |
| jsgotangco | but gmail is slightly smaller | 08:09 |
| Burglaptop | bbc news is smaller | 08:09 |
| jsgotangco | wonder what determines it | 08:11 |
| jsgotangco | oh cool BBC as a11y info for linux users | 08:12 |
| Burglaptop | they even talk about GNOME and KDE | 08:12 |
| Burglaptop | there are people at the beeb get it | 08:12 |
| jsgotangco | yeah | 08:12 |
| jsgotangco | so cool | 08:12 |
| Burglaptop | I wish CBC were as good | 08:12 |
| jsgotangco | a few instructions to be posted on the web isn't hard | 08:13 |
| Burglaptop | but it shows that someone cares | 08:16 |
| jsgotangco | does anyone notice the the rhythmbox notification is cut when a different application is open | 08:17 |
| Burglaptop | don't use rb | 08:17 |
| jsgotangco | bah | 08:19 |
| jsgotangco | don't tell me i have to use a movie player to play audio :P | 08:19 |
| Burglaptop | Madpilot uses muine | 08:19 |
| Madpilot | jsgotangco: I was using Rb while I was running the Dapper LiveCD a few nights ago, didn't notice the popup "Now Playing" thing cutting out, and I ran a bunch of different apps | 08:22 |
| jsgotangco | hmm | 08:23 |
| Madpilot | RB in dapper is dramatically better than the RB in Breezy... | 08:23 |
| jsgotangco | yeah | 08:23 |
| jsgotangco | you can now do podcasts | 08:23 |
| Madpilot | I still like Muine's simple UI, though | 08:24 |
| === robitaille use google reader for podcasts and blogs | ||
| crimsun | I prefer quod libet; too bad 0.18 probably won't make it into Dapper | 08:25 |
| jsgotangco | robitaille: heh | 08:26 |
| Madpilot | anyone used Cowbell before? | 08:28 |
| robitaille | I continously switch between computers at home and at work. The remote server for blogs, podcasts, email is essential | 08:29 |
| Burglaptop | Madpilot: a little | 08:29 |
| Madpilot | Burglaptop: can you actually import whole folders into it, or just individual song files? | 08:29 |
| Burglaptop | Madpilot: whole folders | 08:29 |
| Burglaptop | I think | 08:29 |
| Madpilot | I've used EasyTag so far, it's more complex but handles whole directories easily | 08:30 |
| Madpilot | but we've got Cowbell in UDG... :P | 08:30 |
| jsgotangco | robitaille: its amazing on what they churn out with ajax though | 08:30 |
| Madpilot | 3360 songs in my Music directory... | 08:34 |
| robitaille | only 1291 songs in mine...but probably 200 CDs still to rip in my collection. Obviously I'll never complete that project... | 08:41 |
| Madpilot | I've got CDs that I've never "really" heard, because I just ripped them straight to .ogg :P | 08:41 |
| Madpilot | a couple of DRM'd ones that wouldn't play, but would rip - go figure | 08:42 |
| Burglaptop | I didn't know we had an EmbeddedUbuntu project until about 4 days ago: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS6954215579.html | 09:00 |
| jsgotangco | was it discussed during UBZ? | 09:01 |
| robitaille | sometimes I feel like writing a fake spec on the wiki, and see how long before a web site pick it up. Maybe something to do for April 1st | 09:02 |
| Burglaptop | I don't remember it being dicussed, but I may have missed it | 09:03 |
| Madpilot | some of the stuff feels like it should have been added on April 1st - like this gem: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubunty_daily_tips | 09:03 |
| Madpilot | not a bad idea, but notice the spelling... :P | 09:03 |
| Burglaptop | I think for April 1st we shoudl rename the distro to "Hakuna Matata" | 09:03 |
| robitaille | I wonder if the Ubuntu devs will change the gdm image this April 1st like last year | 09:04 |
| Madpilot | April 1st release: Mutant Marsupial | 09:04 |

| mdke | hello jpatrick | 12:40 |
| jpatrick | hello mdke | 12:40 |
| mdke | I noticed you applied to join the ubuntu-doc launchpad team | 12:40 |
| jpatrick | yes, I did | 12:41 |
| mdke | we generally keep that team for people who work on the docs in our repository. are you interested in that? | 12:41 |
| jpatrick | yes, I'm working on PackagingGuide and KubuntuDesktopGuide | 12:42 |
| mdke | right, I saw that on your wiki page | 12:42 |
| mdke | but I haven't seen any patches yet on the mailing list, do you need any help with doing that? | 12:42 |
| jpatrick | I sent a patch to LaserJock today | 12:43 |
| jpatrick | he's yet to come online | 12:43 |
| mdke | ah right | 12:43 |
| mdke | jpatrick, if you send them to the mailing list too, then it helps us get to know you :) | 12:43 |
| mdke | thanks for getting involved | 12:43 |
| jpatrick | ok | 12:44 |
| mdke | after you've been sending patches for a while, you are likely to be given commit access | 12:44 |
| mdke | then we'll add you to the launchpad team :) | 12:44 |
| jpatrick | ok, thanks :) | 12:44 |

| gusaweb | I am here to submit an idea | 05:05 |
| gusaweb | or ask if it has already been done | 05:05 |
| robotgeek | sure gusaweb | 05:05 |
| gusaweb | Is there a launchpad documentation? | 05:05 |
| gusaweb | I am new in Ubuntu | 05:06 |
| robotgeek | gusaweb: do you mean documentation for launchpad? | 05:06 |
| gusaweb | yes robotgeek | 05:06 |
| === robotgeek looks | ||
| gusaweb | yesterday I wanted to report bugs | 05:07 |
| gusaweb | and I realized launchpad has lots of functionnalities | 05:07 |
| gusaweb | it is a very great tool | 05:07 |
| gusaweb | but it would be nice if there was a documentation | 05:08 |
| robotgeek | gusaweb: i don't think there was anything there, as such. | 05:09 |
| robotgeek | https://wiki.launchpad.net/ might be a start, gusaweb | 05:09 |
| gusaweb | robotgeek ok | 05:10 |

| dooglus | hi. | 10:10 |
| dooglus | where should I report problems with ubuntu docs? | 10:10 |
| dooglus | is malone the place? | 10:10 |
| jpatrick | yes | 10:10 |
| dooglus | ok. | 10:10 |
| dooglus | and... | 10:10 |
| dooglus | if I have a bunch of corrections, | 10:10 |
| dooglus | would you prefer one per report? or all lumped together? | 10:11 |
| === mpt_ [n=mpt@222-154-152-96.jetstream.xtra.co.nz] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| jpatrick | a diff file? | 10:11 |
| jpatrick | svn diff > patch.diff | 10:11 |
| dooglus | I'm not a writer. | 10:12 |
| dooglus | but I recognise when things don't read right. | 10:12 |
| jpatrick | one report | 10:13 |
| dooglus | I see a funny box between "1" and "about ubuntu" here: http://fsphost.com/dooglus/snaps/2006-02-26--22-14-14.png ; is that worth reporting? Or is that the fault of a different team? | 10:16 |
| jpatrick | I don't see an "about ubuntu" | 10:18 |
| dooglus | no | 10:19 |
| dooglus | I mean between "1" and "participate". in line 2. | 10:20 |
| dooglus | it's a box with: | 10:20 |
| dooglus | 2 0 | 10:20 |
| dooglus | 0 2 | 10:20 |
| dooglus | written in it | 10:20 |
| dooglus | is that a "best before" date? | 10:21 |
| jpatrick | I think it's fixed in svn | 10:21 |
| dooglus | any chance svn could be packaged and uploaded to the mirrors? | 10:22 |
| jpatrick | it's updated once in a while | 10:23 |
| dooglus | is there some documentation or FAQ about how I might get the svn version? | 10:24 |
| dooglus | there's no point me reporting bugs which have already been fixed in a version I haven't seen | 10:24 |
| jpatrick | http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/about-ubuntu/C/index.html | 10:25 |
| jpatrick | ^^built daily | 10:25 |
| dooglus | I mean is there some way I can see the svn version? | 10:27 |
| jpatrick | https://wiki.kubuntu.org/DocumentationTeam/Repository | 10:28 |
| dooglus | thanks | 10:29 |
| dooglus | that page says "It will ask for certificate informations". "information" is a collective noun, and doesn't have a plural. | 10:31 |
| jpatrick | good point | 10:33 |
| dooglus | that was a test :) | 10:33 |
| dooglus | what should I do with such observations? | 10:33 |
| dooglus | 1) keep them to myself - it's only an 's' after all | 10:34 |
| dooglus | 2) fix them - it's a wiki | 10:34 |
| dooglus | 3) complain about it here (I did!) | 10:34 |
| dooglus | 4) report a bug in malone | 10:34 |
| dooglus | 5) none of the above | 10:34 |
| jpatrick | 2, if it was me | 10:35 |
| dooglus | ok. | 10:37 |
| dooglus | I did #2 | 10:37 |
| dooglus | so I've checkout out the svn repository. can I view the svn version of "about ubuntu" that's now in my home directory using yelp? | 10:37 |
| jpatrick | yes | 10:38 |
| dooglus | I tried: "yelp ubuntu-doc/ubuntu/aboutubuntu/C/about-ubuntu.xml" but it showed the | 10:38 |
| dooglus | 2 0 | 10:38 |
| dooglus | box, just as before | 10:38 |
| dooglus | 0 2 | 10:38 |

| mdke_ | mpt_, actually, is your About Ubuntu still an option, after feature freeze? | 11:14 |
| mdke_ | if not, we should get cracking and tidy up the old thing | 11:14 |
