pittiI have a patch in https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-cups-manager/+bug/8023 which I'd like to apply for dapper, but it changes the UI11:46
pittiwhat's the prefered way to ask the doc team for approval/rejection? I cc'ed ubuntu-doc to the bug and asked, is that fine?11:46
robthe mailing list is the best option11:48

mdkejsgotangco: pong08:09
jsgotangcohey guys08:09
jsgotangcomdke: i already forgot what's on my mind08:10
mdkejsgotangco: np :)08:10
mdkewas it the edubuntu guys?08:10
jsgotangcono08:10
Burgworkjsgotangco, I see no reason why not, for both08:11
mdkeI'm not particularly comfortable with it, I will follow up on list08:11
jsgotangcohey Burgwork, its been a while08:11
jsgotangcomdke: yes feel free, after all, they are the ones who approached me08:12
=== mdke nods
LaserJockmdke: I talked with them a bit today08:12
mdkeLaserJock: right08:12
=== zenrox [n=zenrox@71.115.198.118] has joined #ubuntu-doc
jsgotangcowe havent been meeting lately so i had it on list instead08:13
LaserJockmdke: I told them they should probably send patches a bit before they become members so they get used to our workflow, etc.08:13
=== mdke nods
jsgotangcoyeah i also said its all about patches08:14
=== Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkeI think basically to have svn access, what we should look for is 1) good English and knowledge of our styleguide 2) familiarity with docbook (sending a few patches that validate), 3) familiarity with svn, and 4) dedication. These two guys obviously have 4), but personally I'd prefer to see some patches before confirming (1-3)08:14
LaserJockmdke: exactly08:15
mdkehowever, I'm really in favour of edubuntu action in our repo08:16
mdkejsgotangco: are edubuntu docs generally written in docbook?08:16
jsgotangcoonly mine for now08:16
mdkewhat other docs are in the distro? who writes them, and in what format?08:16
jsgotangcoand LaserJock ported the others08:16
LaserJockjust the School Advocacy page08:17
mdkewhat happened to this cookbook thing?08:17
jsgotangcoheh08:17
mdkeI see occasionally stuff about it on planet08:17
LaserJockit is on the wiki, no?08:17
jsgotangcoit just fizzles out i dunno08:17
mdkenot in the distro?08:17
jsgotangcoit is cursed probably because i started it lol08:18
mdkeheh08:18
mdkeok, so there seems to be no real barrier to edubuntu docs going on in our repo?08:18
jsgotangcomdke: there's really no action except mine and LaserJock's recent commit08:19
LaserJockother than interest, and I think we are taking care of some of that08:19
jsgotangco(on the svn i mean)08:19
mdkeright08:20
LaserJockbut I think ogra and JaneW are all for it08:20
jsgotangcoheck i'll probably be able to beat june 1 to write a realy cookbook of ubuntu food08:21
jsgotangcobut that would be like mocking the current effort08:21
jsgotangco:)08:21
mdkeLaserJock: all for what?08:22
mdkedocs in our repo?08:22
jsgotangcoi actually don't see a need that much, a small effort can be done in bzr for now08:22
LaserJockmdke: yeah08:23
=== robotgeek will start working again after he finds a job :)
mdkejsgotangco: I think it would be cool in terms of uniting the efforts on edubuntu with those on the other derivatives08:23
jsgotangcodoes elmo still have exclusive lock on the svn? or is it also sent now to the tracker08:24
LaserJocki'll be back in ~20-30 min. I gotta drive to work08:25
mdkejsgotangco: tracker?08:26
mdkeoh, i see what you mean08:26
mdkeyeah, rt for new additions08:26
jsgotangcorequest tracker of sorts, like how syncs are done now08:26
jsgotangcothat's cool08:27
Burgworkjsgotangco, what do you think of getting mdke to work for canonical, as doc team slave?] 08:27
robotgeekplus, he doesn't get to say IANAL08:27
jsgotangcoi think that's a good idea, he's in london, we're not (and im not even qualified)08:27
=== jsgotangco is not even canonical-caliber material to even think about himself
Burgworkjsgotangco, I am in a major dilemma, because I enjoy my job, but want to work on Ubuntu fulltime and think I can provide something that Canonical wants08:29
jsgotangcoBurgwork: me too but im just not confident i guess or probably because i am just too far08:29
mdkeBurgwork: since you're already working in a related area, I think you should definitely go for it. It will be great career-wise08:29
Burgworkmdke, my ex said the same thing08:30
BurgworkI don't know, it is too hard to decide08:30
jsgotangcoif they decline, at least you still have your job08:30
mdkeBurgwork: ex?08:30
Burgworkyep08:30
Burgworkmdke, ex-gf08:30
mdkebummer08:30
Burgworkmeh, life happens. Now I get to live the lavalife08:31
=== mdke nods
=== mdke nods, without really knowing what the lavalife means
jsgotangcoBurgwork: i dunno, ive been doing linux-related work for 5+ years but i seem to have no direction at all08:31
mdkesounds good tho08:31
Burgworkdating site, cause of much fun08:31
Burgworktrue08:32
jsgotangcoBurgwork: at least you get to work on something that is associated with them08:32
robotgeekgood luck to you Burgwork 08:34
Burgworkrobotgeek, thanks. I think I have a better than even chance of getting on with Canonical, with my Ubutnu and non-Ubuntu work08:34
robotgeekBurgwork: yup08:34
mdkecourse you do08:34
=== robotgeek just got off a phone screen, phew
BurgworkI just need to figure out what job I actually want08:35
mdkego for the webmaster thing08:35
jsgotangcoyeah do lots of python stuff08:35
jsgotangco:P08:35
BurgworkI lack the skills in programming for that08:35
Burgworkbut mark is also looking for marketing people08:35
Burgworkand sales08:35
mdkeBurgwork: nah, I don't think programming skills are very high up on the list. You can learn them as you go08:36
Burgworkthing is, I am not certain I want to be a webmaster08:36
mdkeI think the classic definition of webmaster doesn't apply, look at what henrik used to do, it's much more varied08:37
jsgotangcoi wish i had your confidence, i am culturally bound to feeling not up to par at all08:37
mdkejsgotangco: you shouldn't be like that dude08:37
=== robotgeek is now coding in the evil propreitery software
jsgotangcomdke: i have failed many times before and i am simply a bit too old to fail again08:38
Burgworkjsgotangco, don;t think like that08:38
jjessehey rob08:38
jjessewrong ping08:38
robotgeekhe jjesse 08:38
jjesserobotgeek: evil prorietary (you mean MS ) :")08:38
robotgeekjjesse: that and NI08:38
mdkebbl08:39
jsgotangcorobotgeek: heck i even code more evil prorprietary mobile telecom crap08:39
jjesserobotgeek: grin i'm an evil empire network admin for a living :)08:39
robotgeekjjesse: well, i'm having to pick up vb "skills" in a hurry08:39
robotgeeki though C and python were good enough for everyone!08:39
jsgotangcorobotgeek: same here sadly, i have to program this IVR crap on VB08:40
jsgotangcobecause Asterisk is such a crack to configure in a short span of time08:40
=== jsgotangco wished he had more time to create his Asterisk spec
jsgotangcobut here i am almost 3am just finished doing a test on VB crap08:41
jjessehey guys just wanted to let everyone know that i'm switching jobs in two weeks so i might awol for a bit08:41
=== jsgotangco is most definitely not happy wit this
=== robotgeek is spending about 10 hours a day on finding the right job
robotgeekjjesse: great. good luck :)08:41
jsgotangcorobotgeek: im in a good paying job but i seem to be not happy08:42
jjessethanks, don't know if i'll be allowed IRC at new job like i am now :)08:42
dsasYou guys are enough to put off people from entering The Real World. :p08:42
jsgotangcodsas: you could always start an entrepreneural career in SecondLife ;)08:42
jsgotangcowww.secondlife.com08:42
jsgotangcoheh08:42
=== robotgeek hates the tag of mechanical engineers must know cad
jjessejsgotangco: do you play secondlife?08:43
jsgotangcodsas: i will probably be deemed obsolete in a few more years08:43
dsasjsgotangco: I'd never hear the end of people telling me to get a real job I'm sure.08:43
jsgotangcojjesse: yeah dude, in SL, people pay me to escort them lol08:43
dsasjsgotangco: You make it sound like you're a computer yourself. I'm sure you can renew your skills if need be.08:44
jsgotangcojjesse: for some reason, i always forget to change my linden dollars to real $08:45
jjessejsgotangco: that's cool that people can make money in secondlife08:45
jsgotangcostrange but true08:45
dsasThere's some new-ish mmorpg that you use actual real dollars to play the game, and you can withdraw them at any time.08:45
robotgeeki already spend too much time in front of the computer. i need a Real Life TM08:46
jsgotangcoas long as its not invaded by asian in-game resource farmers, it would be fine08:46
robotgeekanyways guy, lunch time for me08:47
robotgeekerr, guys08:47
jsgotangcooh well08:47
jsgotangcothere's nothing much i can at the moment, except live with what i have :)08:48
jsgotangcocan't complain even, i still am capable of paying my bandwidth and my child's education as well as drive a car08:49
jsgotangcoyuck this new usplash looks horrid08:51

BurgworkLaserJock, not going, due to work09:04
jsgotangcoLaserJock: you're going?09:05
LaserJockwell, I heard from a reliable source that I'm sponsored, but I haven't gotten an email quite yet09:05
mdkecool09:06
jsgotangcowow you have a mole!09:06
BurgworkLaserJock, is JaneW leaking information again?09:06
LaserJockI have spys everywhere. You guys think that sabdfl is running the show?  hehe09:06
jsgotangcoLaserJock: cool, you can add lasers to the city of lights then09:07
LaserJockBurgwork: I can neither confirm  nor deny... ;-)09:07
LaserJockanyway, if I go I'd like to have some doc discussions09:09
BurgworkLaserJock, the issue we have always had is that not enough are there09:09
dsasThis time there's not going to be as much discussion though right? Most planning is to be done upfront.09:10
Burgworkit is usually a crazy week of talking09:10
jsgotangcoyes09:10
jsgotangcoand getting drunk09:10
jsgotangco(if you're with the right people)09:11
jsgotangcoat least in paris you'll get drunk with style09:11
LaserJockhmm, I'm not really a drinker, but I better not say that too loud or they won't let me go ;-)09:12

jsgotangcowow i must be pretty well-stoned its almost 4am and i am still awake09:15
mdkejsgotangco: too much green tea?09:16

mdkemeh09:17
mdkethat was 6am09:17
jsgotangcomdke: those poor clients...09:18
mdkei don't have any :)09:18

LaserJockheh, good thing my wife runs my life. I have to go to bed by midnight or else ;-)09:19
LaserJockkeeps me from doing stupid things at 3 or 4 am :-)09:20
mdkeyeah, I need my girlfriend back09:20
