mgalvinthe intro now does not talk about the delayed date so the note doesn't seem to fit there quite right06:55

mdkethat's right08:48

mdkeyes, commit access. I'll send an email today09:00
mdkeare we making an exception for the "ubuntu member" rule?09:01
mdkeif so, let's make one for trappist too09:01
Madpilotfine by me09:01
mdkei never liked that rule :)09:01
Madpilotthe CC might have another opinion, though...09:01
mdkeit's our rule, I thought, not the CC's09:01
BurgundaviaI consider the creation of that xubuntu stuff enough for ubntu membership09:01
Burgundaviaand I think if we think a cadidate is likely to pass, there is no reason to get them started earlier09:02
mdkewhat if we're wrong and then they don't? do we remove the access?09:02
Burgundaviathen we wait09:03
=== mdke states for the record that it's a bad rule
mdkeok let's go for it with trappist and luzi.09:03
BurgundaviaI think, in general, them being an Ubuntu member or actively trying is a good rule09:04
=== robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkeBurgundavia, if someone only likes documentation, it's difficult to become an ubuntu member without first getting on the docteam, I think09:05
mdke"actively trying" might be ok though. albeit tricky to judge09:05
Burgundaviaactively trying is "on the list and wants to become a member"09:06
Burgundaviaif they express no interest in becoming an ubuntu member, I question why they are even trying to help us09:07
mdkesure09:07
Madpilotare there Xubuntu LiveCDs yet?09:08
Burgundavianot yet09:08
Burgundaviathe building of xubuntu cds has been delayed until everything in xubuntu-meta is in main09:09
Madpilotah09:09
Burgundaviawhich I believe just happened, so after flight 6 I believe it will be turned on09:10
mdkecool09:10
Burgundaviaok, that is broken. OO.o stores their recovery files in tmp, which doesn't help when the power dies09:13

MadpilotOK, another XDG commit done, just for the heck of it09:54
robotgeekhow do we cut and paste tables in oo, it's too tough for me09:57
Burgundaviarobotgeek: first you take a knife and hold out your wrist. Then you press down and cut, opening the vein. This would be less painful that using OO.o09:58
robotgeekyes. it is actually that frustrating10:00
robotgeeki find it easier in xml/latex10:00

mdkeMadpilot, the thunar entity isn't defined10:11

Madpilotsure - what did I leave out, though? it's in xubuntu/libs/xubuntu.ent10:12
mdkeit's in the wrong directory :) should be in menus/C10:12

mpt_Anyone got links handy for the Ubuntu Documentation things translatable in Rosetta?10:18
mdkempt_, they are not there yet10:19
mpt_How are they going to be processed into a format Rosetta understands?10:20
mdkempt_, using xml2po10:20
mpt_thanks10:20
mdkempt_, why do you ask?10:21
robotgeekhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Translation mpt_ 10:21
mpt_mdke, because the Ubuntu-Women are trying to use Rosetta to translate stuff10:22
mpt_and I think they're translating only wiki pages, so Rosetta isn't really useful10:22
mdkeI would agree10:22
mdkejust reading that mail now10:22
mdkeif she can get pot files from the wiki pages, it can be done, I suppose10:23
mdkeseems like a bit of a hassle to request a separate set of ubuntu-women translators for each language, though.10:26
mpt_yeah10:29
mpt_there's only about a dozen of them in total10:29
mdkeand integrating with the existing Ubuntu teams isn't an option?10:30
mdkei know the italian team would welcome any new contributors10:30
robotgeekwould anyone know offhand how to specify only certain xml tags for translation?10:31
robotgeekusing xml2po, that is10:31
mdkeyou can't do it10:32
mdkeyou can include comments (in the usual way) though10:32
robotgeekokay, thanks10:33
mdkeinclude the comment directly before the <para> tag10:34
mdkewhy do you need it?10:35
robotgeekmdke: well, for easyubuntu descriptions10:37
Madpilotnight, all10:40
mdkerobotgeek, oh right, np10:43
robotgeekmdke: well, i can ask people to translate only the ones with label tags :)10:46
