| mdke | anyone got IE on them? | 01:30 |
| Burgundavia_ | mdke, in just a sec I will | 01:30 |
| mdke | can you do me a screenie of http://help.ubuntu.com/wiki ? | 01:31 |
| Burgundavia_ | yep, just a sec | 01:31 |
| Burgundavia_ | ok, here is a good laugh | 01:31 |
| Burgundavia_ | check out the editorial that says Sun should buy Canonical | 01:31 |
| Burgundavia | ugh, Windows | 01:32 |
| Burgundavia | so bloody blue | 01:32 |
| === mdke pats | ||
| LaserJock | hmm, I would think Canonical buying Sun would sound better | 01:33 |
| Burgundavia | holy crap XP is unresponsive right after login | 01:33 |
| LaserJock | yep | 01:33 |
| Burgundavia | Mark is not rich enough | 01:33 |
| Burgundavia | "You need to update your flash player"!!! | 01:33 |
| Burgundavia | oh joy of joys | 01:33 |
| Burgundavia | where the F*** do I have to go so I can get out of this bloody os? | 01:34 |
| LaserJock | reboot, Reboot, REBOOT! | 01:34 |
| mdke | LaserJock loves it | 01:34 |
| mdke | he *loves* the windows | 01:35 |
| LaserJock | hmm, my mac is telling me I need to reboot as well :( | 01:35 |
| LaserJock | yah know, sometimes I have to sit back and realize, XP really does suck | 01:35 |
| mdke | yeah, man it really does | 01:36 |
| LaserJock | I get really spoiled running dapper | 01:36 |
| Burgundavia | mdke, sent | 01:36 |
| Burgundavia | firefox takes 2 seconds to load | 01:36 |
| mdke | LaserJock: if you wanna do one with safari too, go ahead | 01:36 |
| Burgundavia | all i have running is IE | 01:37 |
| LaserJock | I have all kinds of software at the click of a button, it is fast, I can do anything I want, I don't think we are competing with Windows, I think we are blowing it out of the water | 01:37 |
| Burgundavia | I have three different things telling me to update (flash, symantec and windows itself) | 01:37 |
| Burgundavia | we just need a fast and easy office suite and we are in the bag | 01:37 |
| mdke | anyone for opera? | 01:38 |
| LaserJock | no opera here, I'll get you a safari screenshot in a sec | 01:38 |
| mdke | ok, it looks good enough in IE for the purposes | 01:38 |
| Burgundavia | the only thing I saw was the color band | 01:38 |
| mdke | it looks pretty shit in dapper firefox, compared to epiphany, but then again, that's clearly not my fault | 01:38 |
| Burgundavia | madpilot can do Opera when he comes | 01:39 |
| mdke | Burgundavia: yeah, i think all the ubuntu websites have that problem on IE, don't they? | 01:39 |
| Burgundavia | likely | 01:39 |
| Burgundavia | honestly, who gives a shit? | 01:39 |
| mdke | quite | 01:39 |
| mdke | very well put, if I may say so | 01:39 |
| Burgundavia | they work and don't break horrible | 01:39 |
| mdke | yeah, ok so firefox and opera are the only ones to bother with really | 01:40 |
| Burgundavia | have we had someone check with konq? | 01:40 |
| mdke | oh yeah | 01:40 |
| mdke | and I'll check with yelp | 01:40 |
| mdke | ;p | 01:40 |
| mdke | damn, yelp doesn't do urls, sucks | 01:41 |
| mdke | anyone got konq? | 01:41 |
| Burgundavia | you might be able to launch it on the commandline with a url | 01:41 |
| mdke | no, it just calls gnome-open | 01:41 |
| mdke | (ctrl L in yelp works) | 01:41 |
| LaserJock | mdke: http://chem.unr.edu/~mantha/ubuntu/wiki_screenie.png | 01:43 |
| LaserJock | mdke: I've got konq, but I'm not sure how to get a screenshot in KDE | 01:44 |
| mdke | prtsc? | 01:44 |
| mdke | thanks for safari, looks ok | 01:44 |
| LaserJock | probably, just a sec | 01:44 |
| mdke | the occasional pixel goes awry but who cares | 01:44 |
| mdke | actually I'm quite tempted to try and import the pages, just for fun | 01:45 |
| LaserJock | mdke: http://chem.unr.edu/~mantha/ubuntu/konq_screenie.png | 01:47 |
| Rawh | hmmm | 01:47 |
| Rawh | wiki with logins :) | 01:47 |
| Burgundavia | when did we pass 3k commits? | 01:48 |
| mdke | this week | 01:49 |
| mdke | or last | 01:49 |
| mdke | another translation marathon to come on sunday | 01:49 |
| Burgundavia | may 10th | 01:50 |
| === Burgundavia truly wishes for a web frontend to our svn repo | ||
| Burgundavia | it would make my life much easier | 01:51 |
| Burgundavia | I could waste more time at work on Ubuntu | 01:52 |
| LaserJock | hehe | 01:52 |
| mdke | so when you see Madpilot next, can you ask him where we are with the various book covers and admon icons and so on? | 01:55 |
| Burgundavia | mdke, you are as likely to see him on irc as I am | 01:56 |
| Burgundavia | email me | 01:56 |
| mdke | we can start getting that sorted soon, and if we're lucky everything will be ready for dapper, new website, new books, new wiki | 01:56 |
| Burgundavia | s/me/him | 01:56 |
| mdke | Burgundavia: no, I'm off to sleep :) I'll definitely email him in the next few days if I don't catch him | 01:56 |
| mdke | good night you guys | 01:57 |

| Madpilot | hi mdke - long time no see | 03:31 |
| mdke | yeah, how's the house? | 03:31 |
| Madpilot | the new place is OK, fairly central for commuting and such | 03:32 |
| mdke | good | 03:32 |
| mdke | I'm terrified, I'm about to send this email about wiki licensing | 03:32 |
| === mdke crosses himself and presses the button | ||
| Madpilot | asking everyone who's ever contributed to the wiki if they like the licensing idea? | 03:32 |
| mdke | yeah | 03:33 |
| === mdke watches a list of names stream by | ||
| === Madpilot waits for his copy ;) | ||
| Burgundavia | mdke, you spammer you. I got this email from you about this wiki licensing business :) | 03:34 |
| mdke | good news | 03:34 |
| Burgundavia | are you trying to extort money from me? I won't have it! | 03:34 |
| Madpilot | :D | 03:35 |
| mdke | Burgundavia: i also sell encyclopedias | 03:35 |
| Burgundavia | really? I need a set of those | 03:35 |
| mdke | and insurance | 03:35 |
| Burgundavia | got any land in Florida? I need some. Islands are better, as I just bought this english bridge. It was a great bargain | 03:36 |
| mdke | heh | 03:37 |
| mdke | bloody hell, it's still going | 03:39 |
| mdke | ah. done | 03:39 |
| Burgundavia | I expect it to take about 20 minutes | 03:39 |
| Burgundavia | or not | 03:39 |
| mdke | should have timed it | 03:39 |
| Burgundavia | php mailer takes longer, due to doing some mail merging as it sends | 03:39 |
| mdke | god knows how my mail queue is | 03:40 |
| mdke | it's probably all queued up | 03:40 |
| Burgundavia | http://www.heartland.org/Article.cfm?artId=19050 <-- look FUD | 03:40 |
| === mdke does a tail -f on his mail log | ||
| Madpilot | mdke, I predict a lot of the messages will go straight to you, rather than to the CC email you mentioned... | 03:43 |

| Madpilot | mdke, you've got complaints about the licensing stuff already? | 04:23 |
| mdke | some serious slapping around in -devel | 04:24 |
| Madpilot | WTF for? | 04:24 |
| mdke | no, that's an exaggeration | 04:26 |
| mdke | but they didn't like the idea that the email kinda says "if there is silence, we assume you consent" | 04:27 |
| mdke | logically, I suppose they are right | 04:27 |
| Madpilot | but practically, there's no other way to do it... | 04:27 |
| mdke | yeah | 04:28 |
| mdke | either that, or start from scratch with no material | 04:28 |
| mdke | which would be a waste | 04:28 |
| mdke | anyhow, changing the subject | 04:28 |
| mdke | Madpilot: where are we on book covers? | 04:28 |
| Madpilot | was wondering that myself | 04:28 |
| Madpilot | first of all, is the official name "Ubuntu 6.06 LTS" now, w/ the LTS added? | 04:29 |
| mdke | yeah, Long Term Support | 04:29 |
| Madpilot | OK | 04:29 |
| mdke | we had some nice covers from some art people | 04:30 |
| Madpilot | I'll update my cover SVGs accordingly - we've got one other candidate cover too | 04:30 |
| mdke | i can't find that other cover | 04:31 |
| Madpilot | just looking for the author's name myself | 04:33 |
| mdke | http://klepas.org/temp/ubuntu/ubuntu-doc-cover-front.png ? | 04:34 |
| Madpilot | yes, that's the one. I've got an SVG version of it too. | 04:34 |
| Madpilot | only problem with it is the "Dapper Drake" text - that'll need to go. | 04:35 |
| Madpilot | assuming it's chosen over my cover idea - I'll leave that up to the community | 04:35 |
| mdke | Madpilot: where is yours again? | 04:36 |
| Madpilot | http://www.warbard.ca/temp/ | 04:36 |
| mdke | i don't think the community is going to have a decisive voice on this | 04:37 |
| Madpilot | http://www.warbard.ca/temp/Ubuntu_Lulu_cover_draft_CQsize.png <-- Ubuntu DG cover | 04:38 |
| Madpilot | well, not the community as a whole, but docteam and possibly artteam should have a say, I'd think | 04:39 |
| mdke | we don't have much time really | 04:39 |
| Madpilot | yeah, I know | 04:40 |
| === mdke looks for the discussions | ||
| Madpilot | robotgeek was working on a little script to pull the translated titles out of the docs so we can have translated covers too | 04:40 |
| === mdke nods | ||
| mdke | i tell you what I like about the klepas one, is how the white makes the ubuntu logo stand out | 04:41 |
| Madpilot | yes | 04:41 |
| Madpilot | http://www.warbard.ca/temp/Ubuntu_Lulu_cover_draft2_CQsize.png <-- I added the white shape to this one | 04:42 |
| mdke | that's a bit too harsh a contrast i think | 04:43 |
| mdke | although I have no feel for what it would look like on paper | 04:43 |
| Burgundavia | Madpilot, that last one, ick | 04:43 |
| Burgundavia | I still think the lots of logos looks busy | 04:43 |
| Madpilot | that last one was a bit of a hack, just threw the white shape into the existing design | 04:44 |
| mdke | their respective merits are opposites: the klepas one is subtle because of the colours, whereas the Madpilot ones are a bit more colourful | 04:44 |
| === mdke shrugs | ||
| Madpilot | I like the bright orange, it's eye-catching ;) | 04:45 |
| mdke | Madpilot: i think we should leave it to you to be official producer of book covers | 04:45 |
| Burgundavia | I really like the klepas ones | 04:45 |
| Burgundavia | they are bold and simple | 04:45 |
| Madpilot | all that Ubuntu palette info along the left side of klepas' cover - anyone know where he got that? I haven't seen anything like it on the wiki... | 04:47 |
| Burgundavia | it is around | 04:49 |
| Burgundavia | the artworks pages have been under almost constant flux, so I have no idea where to findit | 04:49 |
| mdke | Madpilot: the other thing was those admon icons, do you think you would know how to get them at a higher resolution? just to see what will happen | 04:50 |
| Madpilot | hmm, I'd forgotten about them. I'll have a go this weekend | 04:50 |
| mdke | that would be great | 04:50 |
| mdke | I'm so damn busy atm | 04:50 |
| robotgeek | Madpilot: hmm, i had forgtotten about it :) | 04:51 |
| Madpilot | it's a long weekend here, so I've got time | 04:51 |
| robotgeek | mdke: how did you email? | 05:05 |
| mdke | robotgeek: i'll paste it | 05:05 |
| mdke | http://pastebin.com/727629 | 05:06 |
| robotgeek | oooh, nice. | 05:06 |
| robotgeek | i hope you did not send 4500 to community-council :) | 05:07 |
| mdke | no, I didn't send any to it | 05:07 |
| robotgeek | hmm, okay. | 05:07 |
| robotgeek | i did not know about import csv | 05:08 |
| mdke | spiv did it for me | 05:08 |
| robotgeek | cool | 05:08 |

| mdke | Madpilot: can you make sure this theme looks alright: http://help.ubuntu.com/wiki | 08:31 |
| Madpilot | looks fine | 08:32 |
| mdke | good, thanks | 08:32 |
| Madpilot | there's a small problem with the tab positions on the top right, but all the Ubuntu CSS seems to have that problem in Opera... | 08:32 |
| mdke | oh | 08:32 |
| mdke | screenie? | 08:33 |
| Madpilot | sure. one sec. | 08:33 |
| cbx33 | mdke, do you have access to the edubuntu front page too? | 08:33 |

| mdke | Madpilot: yuck | 08:35 |
| Madpilot | mdke, all the Ubuntu sites do that in Opera. I've asked around, and nobody is quite sure why. | 08:36 |

| cbx33 | thanks highvoltage, no pressure | 08:37 |

| mdke | Madpilot: ahh | 08:37 |
| highvoltage | cbx33: great | 08:37 |
| mdke | highvoltage: we were talking about the wiki move. At the moment it is taking with it everything with CategoryDocumentation, i wanted to talk about edubuntu related documentation, are you happy with it going too, or not? | 08:39 |
| mdke | Madpilot: well, if you find the answer, tell me and I'll push it into that theme, and bug henrik to fix everything else | 08:40 |
| cbx33 | mdke, so this is everything taged with CategoryDocumentatino? | 08:40 |
| cbx33 | mdke, I'm just in the middle of pulling together all LTSP related docs for ogra - UbuntuLTSP | 08:41 |
| mdke | cbx33: I kinda just said that | 08:41 |
| Madpilot | mdke, yeah, I've poked at it a bit before, but never gotten seriously into it. The wiki has so many CSS files in play it's hard to sort out what comes from where... | 08:41 |
| cbx33 | cos they have been scattered everywhere | 08:41 |
| mdke | Madpilot: the tabs are "sisternav" in screen.css | 08:41 |
| highvoltage | mdke: yes, i am happy with it going on, if i understand you correctly | 08:42 |
| Madpilot | mdke, ah, thanks. I'll have a look later this weekend. | 08:42 |
| mdke | highvoltage: we could think about doing a help.edubuntu.org on the new wiki like with the current one, and a theme. Would you have any time for that? obviously broadly speaking the same theme would work | 08:43 |
| highvoltage | shees, 1200 new emails since i last checked mail (Monday) | 08:43 |
| highvoltage | mdke: that's a great sugggestion. i'm surprised it hasn't come up before. | 08:43 |
| highvoltage | mdke: i can arrange the infrastucture for cbx33 | 08:44 |
| highvoltage | mdke: i'm sure he'd be willing to help out on that | 08:44 |
| cbx33 | :D - sounds great | 08:44 |
| mdke | infrastructure? | 08:44 |
| highvoltage | mdke: as in... organise the subdomain in RT, get the theme there, etc. cbx33 can get the page content together and 'draw it up' | 08:45 |

| highvoltage | mdke: understand? | 08:45 |
| mdke | ok. The wiki is up on palmer and we're going to have it at http://help.ubuntu.com/community | 08:45 |
| mdke | help.ubuntu.com being static material as now | 08:45 |
| cbx33 | bbl guys | 08:46 |
| cbx33 | highvoltage, talk me thorugh it when I return :p | 08:46 |
| highvoltage | cbx33: return from? | 08:46 |
| mdke | highvoltage: so, we'll do some tests soon for migrating pages, the only thing is to make sure all the documentation is tagged with CategoryDocumentation | 08:47 |
| === theCore [n=alex@toronto-HSE-ppp4206403.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| highvoltage | mdke: ok, can you tag a wiki page with more than one category? | 08:48 |
| highvoltage | (sorry if that's an ignorant question) | 08:48 |
| mdke | yes | 08:48 |
| highvoltage | i thought it might be good to tag a page as an edubuntu page | 08:48 |
| mdke | the categories are just done by searching the raw text for a word | 08:48 |
| highvoltage | but on the other hand, you can also find all edubuntu pages by doing a title search on "Edubuntu" | 08:48 |
| mdke | so any page with CategoryDocumentation anywhere in the text appears on the CategoryDocumentation page | 08:48 |
| highvoltage | ah, i see | 08:48 |
| mdke | evem in commented text, i think | 08:49 |
| mdke | even* | 08:49 |
| highvoltage | man i wish i had proper internet access | 08:49 |
| theCore | is it too late for submitting a cover art for the guides? | 08:50 |
| mdke | theCore: no, chat to Madpilot about it | 08:50 |
| mdke | -> dinner | 08:50 |
| Madpilot | theCore, give me a moment - real world interupt here... | 08:51 |
| theCore | Madpilot: okay | 08:51 |
| Rawh | *blinks* | 08:52 |
| Laser_away | Madpilot: I got a timeout on the opera screenshot, you sure you aren't blocking US IPs ;-) | 09:11 |
| Madpilot | theCore, OK, back. Have a look at this: http://www.warbard.ca/temp/Ubuntu_Covers/Ubuntu_Covers_draft1.png | 09:11 |
| Madpilot | Laser_away, AFAIK I'm not blocking anything | 09:11 |
| theCore | http://www.peadrop.com/images/pg-cover.png | 09:11 |
| Madpilot | Laser_away, can you get to any of my site at all? | 09:11 |
| theCore | Madpilot: oh, we are making a bundle with all guides? | 09:12 |
| Madpilot | theCore, I know we're going to have all three Desktop Guides, the Packaging Guide, and I think the Server Guide at Lulu - not sure about other stuff (Edubuntu docs, for example) | 09:13 |
| theCore | Madpilot: isn't "Linux for humans" slogan was removed from the branding? | 09:14 |
| Rawh | hmm, i doubt there's someone online who manages mirros ? | 09:14 |
| Rawh | mirrors even | 09:14 |
| Madpilot | Rawh, ubuntu's mirrors? | 09:14 |
| === Rawh nods | ||
| Rawh | there's something fishy obout a file i just mirrored | 09:14 |
| Rawh | in the releases direcory there's a symlink called 'releases' which links back to the current dir | 09:15 |
| Laser_away | Madpilot: nope, I get a timeout on http://www.warbard.ca/ | 09:15 |
| Rawh | thats not usefull imho | 09:15 |
| Madpilot | Laser_away - merde. I'll open a ticket with my webspace supplier then... | 09:15 |
| theCore | Madpilot: I can see it | 09:16 |
| Rawh | Madpilot: same here, no problem with loading it | 09:16 |
| Madpilot | you both in the states? | 09:16 |
| Laser_away | :/ | 09:16 |
| Rawh | im in holland / the netherlands | 09:16 |
| Madpilot | and theCore is in Toronto, it looks like. Odd... | 09:17 |
| theCore | Madpilot: nope, montreal | 09:17 |
| Rawh | hmm | 09:18 |
| Rawh | this really isn't usefull : | 09:18 |
| Rawh | http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/linux/ubuntu/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/releases/ | 09:18 |
| theCore | hehe | 09:18 |
| Rawh | i could go on and on | 09:18 |
| Madpilot | ah, OK. Your IP says toronto, that's all... | 09:18 |
| Rawh | my ip says that ? | 09:18 |
| Madpilot | no, theCore's does | 09:18 |
| Rawh | phew | 09:19 |
| Rawh | this remembers me, i should use irssi on our webspace machine... but then again, noone found out yet :) | 09:19 |
| Madpilot | Rawh, docteam doesn't have anything to do with the mirrors, really. Not sure which channel to suggest, though. | 09:20 |
| Laser_away | Rawh: you might be able to just file a bug and see what the archive admins say | 09:23 |
| Madpilot | theCore, about "Linux for Human Beings" - it's still at the top of the ubuntu.com main page, so I think it's still in use. | 09:23 |
| theCore | Madpilot: well, it been removed from the logo | 09:25 |
| Rawh | well there's a new channel for it | 09:26 |
| Rawh | but since i'm almost the only one in there... :) | 09:26 |
| Madpilot | theCore, you sure? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official still has the strapline versions listed, and Jane S. is pretty good at adding/removing material from the art pages | 09:29 |
| === mdke arrives back to see the madness | ||
| Madpilot | mdke, in case you missed it: http://www.warbard.ca/temp/Ubuntu_Covers/Ubuntu_Covers_draft1.png | 09:42 |
| mdke | v nice | 09:43 |
| mdke | yep, those would be perfect | 09:44 |
| mdke | what's the situation with changing the text? | 09:44 |
| Madpilot | no idea. We need to get robotgeek around - I seem to have deleted my copy of his little script | 09:45 |
| mdke | oh, maybe you can spread the words out a bit | 09:45 |
| mdke | move the logo up a lil bit, and the Docteam bit down | 09:45 |
| === theCore [n=alex@toronto-HSE-ppp4206403.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| Madpilot | mdke, know anything about use of the Human Beings logo/strapline? theCore mentioned that he thought it was being phased out, but I haven't heard anything | 09:54 |
| mdke | Madpilot: no idea. I'd go with the artwork wiki pages | 09:55 |
| mdke | oh hang on | 09:55 |
| mdke | no, they certainly haven't abandoned "linux for human beings" | 09:56 |
| Madpilot | didn't think so, myself. | 09:57 |
| theCore | what about this? https://launchpad.net/bounties/all-linux-for-humans | 09:58 |
| Madpilot | that's a bounty that some user is offering, AFAIK, not Ubuntu/Canonical | 09:59 |
| theCore | ah, ok | 09:59 |
| Madpilot | "Registrant: foolswisdom" - on the lefthand side | 10:00 |
| mdke | how inappropriate is it to use a bounty for that discussion? | 10:00 |
| mdke | muppets | 10:00 |
| Madpilot | I don't think any of the devs or sabdfl have even bothered to comment on it... | 10:02 |
| Madpilot | I don't think any of the "core" Ubuntu folks have bothered with that 'bounty', actually... | 10:04 |

| mdke | brilliant | 11:11 |
| mdke | ok, so now we need to sort out the admon icons, and I need to sort out a couple of minor problems, and we're ready | 11:11 |
| Madpilot | the XFCE mouse looks like it's swimming on the back cover ;) | 11:11 |
| Madpilot | I'll have a bash at the admon icons in a bit - need lunch now | 11:12 |
| mdke | rock, I think i've figured out how to specify the appropriate size | 11:12 |

| mdke | Madpilot: I think leave them blank | 11:14 |
| mdke | lulu can leave it blank too | 11:14 |
| mdke | there is copyright stuff inside, after all | 11:14 |
