jsgotangcogee08:21
highvoltagejsgotangco: we can't distribute anything without a license08:21
jsgotangcoyes08:21
highvoltagejsgotangco: ogra pested him quite a bit, but he didn't get back to us08:21
highvoltagehe just gave us the code and said "use it", but didn't attach a license08:22

Madpilotin the broadest sense, sure08:25
Burgundaviaanything is artistic08:25
Burgundaviapretty much08:25
Burgundaviaminor edits to something are not artisitic and thus probably don;t fall under copyright08:26
MadpilotDog, XChat-Gnome made the sound-alerts thing a seperate plugin, rather than just a basic option... have I mentioned how much I dislike this app? :P08:27
highvoltageBurgundavia: Linus Torvalds08:27
BurgundaviaMadpilot: ugh, that is ridiculous08:28
highvoltageBurgundavia: it's a back-end tool to track the ammount of time a user is logged in to the system, you can also limit the ammount of time a user may be logged in08:28
Burgundaviavery cool08:28
BurgundaviaLinus wrote it?08:28
highvoltageBurgundavia: Linus wrote it to stop his kids fighting over who could use the computer08:28
highvoltageyep.08:28
Burgundaviarofl08:28
Burgundaviabut he attached no copyright to it08:29
highvoltageogra started working on integrating it with the student control panel front-end in edubuntu, but we can't include it until we have that license :/08:29

poningruoh wow you got to that a lot faster than me08:32
Burgundaviahighvoltage: http://userful.com/products/pre-book08:32
Burgundaviahighvoltage: no license on that either, but it IS open source. I will fix that next week08:32
highvoltageBurgundavia: by definition, it can't be open source if it doesn't have a license08:32

LaserJockWhat should be the capitalization for application names?07:07
crimsune.g.?07:08
LaserJockPbuilder vs. pbuilder in titles and at the beginning of a sentence07:10
Kamping_Kaiserimo anything that foollows a full stop is capitalised07:10
crimsunAh, I wouldn't use it that way. I would use "pbuilder" later in the sentence, because it shouldn't be "Pbuilder."07:11
crimsunI normally check the man page.07:11
=== joachim-n [n=joachim@ACD67778.ipt.aol.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc
crimsune.g., To execute pbuilder, do such and such.07:12
crimsuninstead of:07:12
crimsunpbuilder can be executed by doing such and such.07:12
LaserJockbut for instance I have a section titled "Using Pbuilder", should that be "Using pbuilder"07:13
crimsunConsistency is key. Since the man page for pbuilder uses lowercase, lowercase should be used there.07:14
LaserJockeven if the rest of the title is capitalized?07:15
crimsunI would, yes.07:15
LaserJockhmm, ok07:17
crimsunNote that you can skirt the issue by using: "Using Personal builder (pbuilder)"07:17
crimsunhttp://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/software/pbuilder.html07:17
crimsunHowever, "Pbuilder" is incorrect.07:17
LaserJockhmm, so the pbuilder section on http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html should be changed07:18
crimsunyes.07:18
crimsunAdditionally, prepositions should not be capitalised.07:18
crimsun"Building with Personal builder (pbuilder)"07:19
LaserJockarggh, now I have to figure out what a prepostion is ;-)07:20

mdkeespecially mpt__ :)10:14
mgalvinmaybe server guide before the packaging guide? so it reads... desktop, server, packaging... seems like a better flow to me10:16
mgalvinimho10:16
mdkeyes, good point. Dunno if that's possible though, it looks alphabetical10:16
mgalvinah10:17
mdkebut the main thing is swapping the ubuntu and non-ubuntu sections, and what the text should be for the bottom section10:17
LaserJockI could chang the name of the PG to the Ubuntu Super Dupa' Packaging Guide ;-)10:23
