poningruso that people can search once for a problem07:26
poningruand get an answer07:26

jjessein the kubuntu desktop guide does it mention shipit at all?  noticied today that for Kubuntu you have to go to shipit.kubuntu.org instead of shipit.ubuntu.com04:47
jsgotangcoit does?04:53
=== jsgotangco thought its just one shipit address
jjesseif you use shipit.ubuntu.com it only shows ubuntu cds04:54

jjessemdke: ping10:37
mdkejjesse: hi10:37
jjessemdke:  hold on work phone call10:38
mdkejjesse: sure10:38
LaserJockhehe, pings you then leaves, sheesh10:40
mdkeI have a csv file with all the people who've ever edited the wiki in it10:41
mdkeimporting it into evolution as a contacts list is, er, problematic10:41
mdkeany ideas?10:41
LaserJockhmm, not sure. I had a heck of a time trying to get mail.app contacts into thunderbird10:42
mdkeit just crashes all the time10:43
robotgeekmdke: heh, find a perl script which does that maybe?10:43
LaserJockhehe, isn't that SOP for evo?10:43
mdkerobotgeek: does what?10:43
robotgeekmdke: add to your contact list (evo might store it in a file, right)10:44
mdkeyeah, it's just that even trying to click on the imported contacts is crashing evo10:44
LaserJockmdke: did we need any trickery to get html to look nice in yelp?10:45
mdkeLaserJock: we don't have any html in yelp. but no, it renders it fine10:46
robotgeeki like the color tabs extension in firefox, first 'aesthetic' extension i've installed10:46
LaserJockmdke: I know, but when we did. ogra said the edubuntu-docs have a funny font and I just wondered if we had to do something different10:47
LaserJockbut he thinks it might be a fontconfig problem10:47
mdkeno, should use the system font10:47
LaserJockrobotgeek: URL?10:47
jjessemdke: i'm going to go over the release notes tonight and will let you know when they are done10:48
mdkejjesse: great10:48
robotgeekhttp://varun21.googlepages.com/main.html10:48
robotgeeknice, firefox on my kubuntu gives me about kubuntu :)10:49
mdkefirefox on my ubuntu gives me about kubuntu10:50
mdke;)10:50
LaserJockwell, I had xubuntu gdm theme will logging into KDE ;-)10:51
robotgeekLaserJock: extremely difficult to navigate that page :)10:51
robotgeeki also have an extension to sync bookmarks across all firefoxes i use :)10:51
=== mdke is inexperiences when it comes to sending an email to 4500 people
mdkei need an expert spammer10:51
LaserJockrobotgeek: that would be nice10:52
LaserJockmdke: don't know any of those10:52
=== robotgeek hides
robotgeekme too, maybe sendmail script?10:53
LaserJockmdke: I wonder if mako would have some MIT friends that might ;-)10:54
robotgeekhttps://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/14/ LaserJock 10:54
=== mdke goes to google
Burgworkmdke, what do you need help with?10:56
Burgworkuserful is quite good at the spamming game10:56
mdkei have a csv file with 4500 lines, each one a different person to be emailed10:57
mdkewhat's userful?10:57
Burgworkmdke, we use http://tincan.co.uk/phplist10:58
Burgworkit can do things like customizing the name on the first line, etc.10:58
Burgworkyou could also just write a quick hack if you have sendmail available10:58
mdkei'm not good at that10:59
Burgworkfor x in $list, sendmail x@x.com < test10:59
mdkex@x.com?11:00
Burgworkthat is just my thoughts about how to do it with a bash script11:00
robotgeekmdke: foo@bar.com11:00
=== mdke blinks
robotgeekokay, letme try to whip something up for you. how does you csv look like11:01
robotgeekwhat columns do you have, mdke 11:01
mdkeit's in utf-8 and it looks like this:11:01
mdkesabdfl,Mark Shuttleworth,mark@canonical.com11:01
mdkelifeless,Robert Collins,robertc@robertcollins.net11:01
mdkeand so on11:01
robotgeekokay11:02
mdkeshall I try and get sendmail working in the meantime?11:02
=== Rawh [i=willem@toffee.snt.utwente.nl] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkeor something similar11:02
RawhGreetings, any official from ubuntu in here regarding documentation ?11:03
robotgeekhttp://the.taoofmac.com/static/grimoire.html#contents_item_8.2 mdke 11:03
=== Burgwork looks official
mdkeRawh: there are no officials, but we're all working on documentation11:03
Rawhhmm11:03
Burgworkmdke, ssshhh11:03
Rawhwell its really unclear what exactly to grab if i want to install ubuntu on my system11:03
Rawhbeing a new user on the site that is11:04
mdkeyeah, that's true11:04
BurgworkRawh, it is one of my long term plans to revmap the website11:04
mdkerobotgeek: reading11:04
Rawhi managed to find myself a way towards the 'order a cd' page, in which i entered my details and got a cd shipped towards myself11:04
Burgworkit will happen, probably within the next few weeks11:04
Rawhthe cd issue helps, but i can imagine there are quite a lot of users who dont like to put their home addresses in some online shipping database 11:05
mdkerobotgeek: ok, didn't understand much of that11:05
mdkeRawh: yeah. Did you see http://www.ubuntu.com/download?11:06
robotgeekmdke: moment11:06
BurgworkRawh, absolutely. The issue is that the website  doesn't clearly tell you how to get ubuntu and what are the options11:06
RawhZnarl told me to put this issue in here and discuss about it :)11:08
BurgworkRawh, we currently lack a website team11:08
BurgworkI hope to start one in the dapper cycle11:08
=== Rawh quietly says something about being in a website commission team on this university
robotgeekhttp://rafb.net/paste/results/Epwi4l80.html mdke 11:14
robotgeekRawh: always welcome to contribute11:14
mdkerobotgeek: that looks pretty flair11:14
mdkenow to install sendmail11:15
robotgeekmdke: let me read up on the smtp lib11:15
robotgeeki dont think i have to do that for everyline in the csv11:15
Rawhwell i think something like ubuntu.com/newbie would help :P11:16
BurgworkRawh, there is going to be a /desktop and a /getubuntu11:17
robotgeekmdke: do you want to customize each email with name?11:21
mdkerobotgeek: not bothered11:21
mdkerobotgeek: bcc though11:21
mdketo: community-council@lists.ubuntu.com11:21
robotgeekmdke: bcc?11:22
=== Rawh going off
mdkeas in, [email]  should be in bcc11:22
robotgeekwe can just add it the the list?11:22
Rawhbe sure to highlight me some more, i'll get back to it, eventually :)11:22
robotgeekmdke: i don't follow, we can just mass email in one go :)11:25
mdkerobotgeek: yes, but I'd like all the address in bcc, and the community council in to:11:25
robotgeekmdke: not sure if smtp lib does that. 11:26
mdkeah11:26
robotgeekmdke: google tells me more :)11:27
robotgeekmdke: okay, very doable. so, To: community-council@lists.ubuntu.com and Bcc: rest of emails?11:30
mdkerobotgeek: yeah11:31
