mdkewtf is that10:43
mdkei mean, seriously.10:44
Burgundaviamdke, no, idea, but it is cool10:45
Burgundaviawhat is DJL license?10:45
mdkecool in that it invalidates our docs 15 days before release10:45
Burgundaviais that the new Java license that Sun was talking about?10:45
mdkethat's my favourite type of cool10:45
BurgundaviaJavaOne starts today and I think they were planning on some type of announcement10:46
mdkeyeah, but feature freeze started 3 months ago10:46
Burgundaviahttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc-commits/2006-May/002551.html <- add then there is this10:46
Burgundaviawhat is up with that, honestly10:46
mdkeheh, yeah I saw that, nice one10:47
Burgundaviafeature freeze does not apply to new packages in multi/universe10:47
Burgundaviamy laptop broke, so I am back to my desktop for now10:47
Burgundaviabroke as in, the installer broke10:47
BurgundaviaI think it is a worth a string freeze to change our docs10:47
Burgundaviawith regards to the java stuff10:48

motinI've got some stuff for Ubuntu documentation. It is work in progress, but will surely be helpful for new Ubuntu user's: http://wiki.motin.eu/HowToComfortablySwitchFromWindowsToUbuntu01:40
robwe saw it the first time, its written across our screens01:47
mdkemotin: if you'd like to consider integrating your work with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwitchingFromWindows that would be great01:50
motinmdke: Hmm haven't seen that one01:52
mdkemotin: one preliminary comment is not to link to ubuntuguide.org, it's really out of date. Try to get familiar with our documentation at http://help.ubuntu.com/6.0601:53
mdkebbl01:54
motinmdke: I'll not put the link out, since it has helped me on Dapper, but I will write a note about it being outdated, and refer to the official documentation instead01:55
motinrob: for some reason onyl half of it was displayed on my screen, so I tried again01:55
robcool :P01:56
motinmdke: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwitchingFromWindows and my wiki page have totally different goals. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwitchingFromWindows is a great resource, but pecks on details. Mine's plain practical and more suited as an alternative to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwitchingFromWindows. Full integration is not the best way to go here I believe. Rather a link or two in relevant chapters would be a nice way to do it. 01:59

mdkemotin: well they both have the same basic aim. I don't see why the specific aims can't be accomodated in the same document. As for ubuntuguide.org, linking to an out of date resource is extremely unhealthy, especially where better documentation exists02:11
motinmdke: Okay i'll remove it. 02:13
motinI am integrating some parts of it right now02:13

glatzormay i ask you about the state of the g-a-i manual?03:43
glatzorhas mvo already merged a later version? should I "fix" the issues myself in my branch?03:45
jsgotangcoglatzor: hi03:53
jsgotangcoglatzor: i'll have it fixed now, i did plan it to fix before the day ends03:54
jsgotangcoglatzor: i did made some minor changes (like your name) but i think mvo wasn't able to merge03:54

tristanbob_is Espresso now called Ubiquity?06:53
