nixternalRinchen: trying to sneak in here ;)06:28
nixternalseen you added yourself to the meeting list...thanks!!!06:28
Rinchen:-)06:30
RinchenThe problem is that table is 'in general' and I work and can't make meetings when I'm working so I did it 'in general' and am hoping it'll be the weekend :-)06:30
nixternalahhh..and you followed along with the alphabetical layout06:31
nixternalnice06:31
nixternalwell..after a meeting one of us will convert everything into MeetingMinutes, like show notes...so you can go over them if you miss a meeting06:32
nixternalyou can also add an agenda (or a-jenda) hehe...and have someone cover it for you if you will be gone, or submit it via the mailing list06:32
Rinchenyeah, very good job on the table....06:35
Rinchenand getting meetings06:35
RinchenI showed up for the meeting on Saturday but I guess nobody planed it06:35
Rinchenwe verbally said we'd meet but never updated the wiki06:35
nixternalwell...jenda is the man for the good job there...he became an Ubuntu member today also06:35
nixternalhe is doing one hell of a job..and now it looks like we are going to begin moving forward...which is great06:36
RinchenDid they actually have the Comm Council meeting with only 5 mins on the agenda???06:39
RinchenI thought it was an error (just got it tonight)06:39
nixternalya..they added to it as they went though06:40
RinchenFigures... I've been waiting weeks for that and do they do a pearl harbor meeting06:40
nixternallol ya06:41
nixternala lot of people were not present06:41
nixternaloh ya..you had a LoCo discussion..you were the first they called too I believe06:41
Rinchenwell, I checked email last at 1am this morning and I just got back from work and found it at 10:30 pm tonight so06:41
nixternalspeaking of LoCo's, i am in the midst of organising a Chicago LoCo...it is hard work just to get the people who expressed interest to join hands for a meeting06:42
RinchenI can tell you how I did it...06:43
nixternalshoot..i am all ears06:43
RinchenI found 3 folks who were interested.  I then went to the Longmont Lug and signed up 20, then to the Boulder Lug and signed up 15, and then emailed the rest of the local Lugs and had more join from there06:44
RinchenI've been doing an Ubuntu road tour and, much to my surprise, I'm packing the house06:45
nixternalnice...i was wondering what was ok, and what wasn't...06:45
nixternalthats awesome...you would think Chicago would have decent LUG's...but they don't06:45
RinchenI get held over an average of 4 hours after each presentation06:45
nixternalthat is awesome06:45
RinchenIn fact, I'm presenting at another lug tomorrow06:46
Rinchenthe interesting thing...I picked up teachers at a few lugs so I can move forward with my plan to Dominat....er...help out the schools06:46
Kamping_Kaiserlol06:46
RinchenWe got Longmont Free University 100% completely moved to Ubuntu06:46
RinchenInstall fest at the Uni :-)06:47
nixternalhaha06:47
nixternalthat is good stuff though06:47
Kamping_Kaisernice :)06:47
nixternali will move forward and use some of your ideas here in Chicago06:47
RinchenSo here are some tips06:47
Rinchen1) Steal my presentation (see my wiki entry)06:47
Rinchen2) Go get Kaiser's books on LuLu06:48
nixternalhere..all the LUG's have been replaced with Uniforum..which is a paid membership organisation for FOSS type stuff06:48
RinchenThose $9 doc team books are great PR06:48
Rinchenworth every penny even with the typos06:48
Rinchen:-)06:48
nixternalhaha06:48
nixternalhey wait06:48
nixternalim doc teamin' and helpin out wth that06:48
Rinchenlol06:48
nixternallike jjesse and them would say...06:48
nixternalFILE A BUG!!!06:48
nixternal ;)06:48
Kamping_KaiserRinchen, or now you know hes docteam, make him fix it :)06:49
=== nixternal opens up mouth ensuring size 12 adidas fits
RinchenOk...someone should re-read the packaging guide :-)06:49
nixternalhaha Rinchen...myself and jjesse have been talking about it...if you have issues, also laserjock is the head guy on that task06:49

RinchenI've gotten almost everyone I help on Qunu to pick them up06:50
RinchenOn Malone?  hehe06:51
nixternalya...our bug manager ;)06:51
nixternalfor typos and stuff like that, you should file a bug06:51
RinchenOh, is THAT what it's for?  ;-)06:51
nixternalhaha06:51
RinchenI thought it was to piss people off because their queue keeps getting bigger06:51
RinchenSeriously, when the Eft Integration piece goes through it'll rock06:52
Rinchenwe'll have bugbuddy for Ubuntu06:52
RinchenI'll be the most cursed person record out there06:52

digitalmousegreetings programs!  just setting up IRC so that I can try to be a part of the next meetings.. thanks for the invite Jenda10:16
jendanp10:16
jendadigitalmouse: have you ever been in contact with Tikal?10:17
digitalmousenot lately10:18
matthewrevelldigitalmouse: Hi, who are you then? :) SOunds like you know Jenda10:18
matthewrevelldigitalmouse: I'm Matthew, in the UK.10:18
jendamatthewrevell: digitalmouse would be one of the Ubuntu Magazine people10:18
matthewrevellcool10:18
digitalmouseif you are familiar with the ubuntumagazine forum thread, I've been tinkering with the Content Management/website end of the project10:18
jendadigitalmouse: matthewrevell would be one of the Press Team people... ;)10:18
digitalmousenice to meet you10:19
matthewrevelldigitalmouse: Ah right.10:19
matthewrevelldigitalmouse: you too10:19
jendadigitalmouse: it appears the forum is down for good, unfortunately.10:19
digitalmousealthough American by birth, I escaped to Germany in 2000, so I can help represent European interests for the time being.  yes, Jenda mentioned the boards were down.. I am sure they will be back up soon enough10:20
matthewrevelljenda: I'm gonna suggest we close the Launchpad Media Relations Team and bring it back into the Marketing team.10:20
jendamatthewrevell: I guess that's your call - I do believe it best, though.10:21
matthewrevelljenda: Having read back through the archives etc, I'm more comfortable with us using the ofifical marketing team mailing list. For a start, we know that won't be taken offline at someone's whim.10:21
jendaagreed10:21
matthewrevelljenda: Absolutely, now that we have an active marketing team and it looks as though everyone who wants to be involved is cooperative.10:21
jendamatthewrevell: indeed, I'm very optimistic about the meeting.10:22
jendaI think I rounded up all the important forum people - or some at least ;)10:22
jendaWe have you all who came to the team on IRC recently10:22
jendaand the mailing list has been informed.10:23
digitalmouseonce a website design/CMS is agreed on, I could put up a forum/mailing list dedicated to the magazine to prevent the 'whim'-fear you mentioned, matthew.  I have a dedicated server that could be used for that.10:23
matthewrevelljenda: Yes, I'm *really* excited about this. I looked into getting an Ubuntu marketing team together a *long* time ago. It's great to see so many people interested10:23
jendaThe meeting could really be the start of a united MT.10:23
jendadigitalmouse: then we'd be dependent on _your_ whim ;)10:24
matthewrevelldigitalmouse: My feeling is that we'd be best off keeping everything on the marketing mailing list for now. It's not so busy that we can't sustain it on one list.10:24
digitalmousehmm... well there is that, but atleast it's a whim you have more control over :p10:24
jsgotangcohmm meeting here?10:24
jenda+1, matthewrevell10:24
jendajsgotangco: not really10:24
matthewrevelldigitalmouse: With the official mailing list, we get logs, it stays around forever and there's no confusion.10:24
jsgotangcoahhh10:24
jendajsgotangco: meeting tonite in #ubuntu-meeting10:24
=== jsgotangco notices good traffic on this channel lately
digitalmouseno problem matthew, just offering services if needed10:25
jendayep :) :)10:25
matthewrevelldigitalmouse: Pop it on the agenda for the meeting. It's worth discussing, if only so we can agree that the mailing lsit is best :-)10:25
digitalmousegreetings js!  I was just tinkering with IRC and Jenda reminded me that there are ubuntu.magazine channels that I needed to be a part of :-D10:25
jsgotangcodigitalmouse: hi there10:26
matthewrevellNow that the ubuntupeople.com forums are offline, does anyone have a link to background material on the magazine proposal?10:26
matthewrevellFrom what I know of it, the magazine has a different intended-audience than The Fridge and other existing activity, but I think we should try to involved jdub to see what his plans are. He's busy down in Guadec at the moment, I think.10:27
digitalmousenot any more than what was last posted.10:27
matthewrevelldigitalmouse: What was last posted though? :)10:28
digitalmouseI was still waiting to hear some input regarding content management systems and website layout10:28
jendamatthewrevell: I have the forum database from a week ago, that could save a bit of work too.10:28
digitalmousethat was the last I recall... it is possible that more was said afterwards10:28
matthewrevelldigitalmouse: Cool. I don't remember seeing the plans for the magazine ... i.e. what need it fulfills, why it's the right way to go, etc. I'm not saying it isn't a good idea, by the way, I just think it's really important to have justification and a plan :)10:29
matthewrevellback in 2010:29
digitalmouseI suppose the forum is no-longer needed.. the wiki might suit our needs.  my only concern is knowing what experience people have with content management systems for online magazine production.. I've dealt with over a dozen systems (part of my job actually) and wanted to get some feedback into what was comfortable with people, and at what level of users we have with us.  some CMSs are complex, some are simple.  it would be good to h10:31
jsgotangcotry looking into what freesoftwaremagazine.com uses. It's Drupal its easy and very flexible10:32
=== jenda really likes Drupal
jendaubuntu.cz is drupal10:33
digitalmousedrupal is the current template system.  (demo for ubuntu-mag here: http://digitalbyond.net/~ubuntumag/?q=node/1 )  my experience is that it was a bit difficult in getting people to understand the 'node' method of writing up content.10:34
jsgotangcojenda: i believe the article approval system also runs on drupal since all the artciles are done on docbook xml10:34
=== jsgotangco wrote an article for that magazine last issue
digitalmouseack!  forget to add the logo I whipped up (it has all the ubuntu logos integrated)... standby while I put that back up10:34
jendadigitalmouse: how about a nice brown theme? ;)10:37
jenda(or choice between the U K X and E theme)10:38
=== silbs [n=jane@217.205.109.249] has joined #ubuntu-marketing
digitalmouseif you see a theme already made for Drupal, then let me know and I can install it right now10:38
digitalmousesomething brown-ish as you suggested, though we should not be tied down to that color-scheme necessarily10:40
digitalmousegreetings silbs/jane10:40
digitalmouseok, refresh the link I posted above... that should show the quicky logo I whipped up a month or so ago... will be cleaned up for the permanent site if chosen10:44
jendahello silbs ;)10:46
digitalmouseagain I'm not 100% happy with Drupal, as its CMS terminology would give newbie authors fits...  but it *does* have all the initiala functionality (article approval, sections, PDF generation, etc.)10:46
digitalmouseinitial*10:46
jendasilbs: it would be great if you could make it to the marketing meeting tonight.10:46
jendadigitalmouse: have a look at ubuntu.cz10:47
jendawould that type of a theme do?10:47
jendabrb10:47
digitalmousesure it would do, but do we need to copy that one?  (*goes to look*)10:48
digitalmousebesides that is the same theme as the main ubuntu site, by the look of it10:49
digitalmouseor atleast a close cousin10:49
digitalmousedo we really want to duplicate that look?10:50
jendano we do not10:50
jendait's just the colors we want, I think ;)10:51
silbsjenda: hi. I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to make the mtg tonight. I won't know until this aft, but if I am free I will certainly attend10:52
digitalmousetrue.. I was also thinking of something like http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2782  or  http://tcp-lp-mod.sourceforge.net/10:53
digitalmouseand I would change the header to something a bit more dynamic, like a collage of people holding ubuntu/kubuntu CDs perhaps, or some variant of the '3-people-in-a-circle' idea that is common for ubuntu10:54
digitalmouseor somehow integrate my multi-distro-logo at http://digitalbyond.net/~ubuntumag/ into a nice background10:55
jsgotangcohey silbs!10:56
matthewrevelldigitalmouse: I think this is an ideal opportunity to chat to the Art Team. Sabdfl mentioned, in yesterday's Community Council meeting, that there's a lot of action in the Ubuntu art world at the moment.10:58
matthewrevelldigitalmouse: Ideal opportunity for some bridge buuilding between our teams.10:59
jsgotangcoyeah the artwork team is very very busy at the moment10:59
digitalmousesounds like a plan10:59
jendamatthewrevell: +1 :)11:00
matthewrevelljsgotangco: Fair enough but I think we should give them the opportunity to turn us down, if you see what i mean.11:00
digitalmouseI shifted over from graphic-design/desktop publishing some years ago, so I know my skills are rusty at the moment.  but the idea I think is solid (representing each variant in a single logo)11:01
digitalmousemind you, I whipped that up in about 5 minutes11:01
digitalmousea more professional build, would take the better part of 20-30 minutes11:01
digitalmousea hour perhaps11:02
matthewrevellForgive me for asking questions that may have been answered before, but without the ubuntupeople forums to refer to, I'm gonna have to bore you :)11:02
matthewrevellWhere's the magazine in terms of content, target readership etc?11:03
matthewrevelljenda: You mentioned that you have back-ups from the forums from a week ago. Are you able to fish out the magazine and SpreadUbuntu forum content?11:06
jendamatthewrevell: Well, I have the dtb, but I don't know how to fish that out ;)11:08
=== KenSentMe pops in
digitalmousegreetings Ken11:09
matthewrevellRighto.11:10
KenSentMedigitalmouse: have you tried joomla as a cms?11:10
matthewrevellKenSentMe: Hi11:10
jendaoi, KenSentMe11:10
KenSentMehttp://joomla.org11:10
digitalmouseI use Joomla on a regular basis actually.. in fact I'm starting to support it as a service of my company... it's not bad11:10
KenSentMeAnd compared to drupal?11:10
KenSentMeI've installed some joomla/mambo sites, but never actually used drupal11:11
digitalmouseI find it a bit easier for authors to write/submit content, but the admin tool takes a bit of getting used to in terms of where things are placed...11:11
KenSentMedigitalmouse: is this about joomla or drupal?11:11
matthewrevellSo, do you guys remember where the magazine discussions got to, other than looking at a CMS? Just trying to find my feet.11:12
digitalmouseat the moment it's a todd up between Typo3/4, Joomla, and Drupal...  they all have their good and bad points.11:12
digitalmouseKen, my comment was about joomla11:12
digitalmousetoss* up11:12
digitalmousenot todd up :-p11:12
digitalmouseeven Etomite's variant called MODx would work, and it's easy to set up and use11:13
KenSentMedigitalmouse: well, i also tried typo3, but gut scared of all the settings i had to make to actually get a simple site. I heard the templavoila made it easier, but haven't tried the new version yet11:13
jendamatthewrevell: Tikal seems to be the leader of the project, I think.11:13
digitalmousesame here, ken.11:13
KenSentMejenda: have you seen Tikal recently?11:13
jendaon Jabber11:13
jendaShe'll be there at the meeting.11:13
jendaEveryone will :)11:13
digitalmousematthew, yes, after a long haitus of no direction, tikal popped in and took the reins... was doing a very good job I understand11:13
KenSentMeAh, nice11:13
KenSentMeBecause there's no meeting or whatsoever planned for the mag11:14
digitalmouseso we hijack the meeting with mag discussion?  or should there be an 'official mag meeting'?11:14
digitalmouseand there are forums up http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ - but I notice some content missing11:14
KenSentMedigitalmouse: i think it's better to have a seperate magazine meeting, because the agende for the MT meeting is already pretty full11:15
jendadigitalmouse: if the mag discussion takes up too much time, we'll oust you to start a new meeting at another time11:15
matthewrevelldigitalmouse: To me, the mag is *exactly* the sort of thing we want to discuss at the meeting.11:16
matthewrevellKenSentMe: The agenda already has the mag on it :)11:16
matthewrevellTrue, if it gets too long, we can hive off a separate meeting11:16
jendaActually, no - at today's meeting, we'll only have a few updates on how the mag is doing. No joomla vs. drupal debates. We should discuss the relationships between the UMag, the UWN and the fridge.11:16
jendaBut no technicalities11:17
KenSentMematthewrevell: ok, but only about the position of the magazine in the MT etc. Not about practical stuff etc.11:17
=== jenda thinks the majority of the MT will not be interested in technical details, but will be interested in the general position of the mag.
matthewrevellAt the moment, I think we need to regroup, find out where we are with everything and who is involved. The team has, in effect, had the carpet pulled from under its feet, following the loss of the forums.11:17
=== poningru [n=poningru@ip68-105-165-49.ga.at.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing
jendaKenSentMe: +111:17
jendaponingru: oi11:17
matthewrevelljenda: Yeah, I agree. We don't want to go into tech details in the meeting, but IMO without knowing the background of the magazine idea etc it's not the right time to discuss tech details anywhere.11:18
matthewrevelljenda: That's why I'm interested in the ideas of who'll be the readers, who'll contribute, what needs it fulfils, etc.11:18
digitalmouseno problem there- without a direction/vision, tech details don't matter11:18
matthewrevelldigitalmouse: Exactly :)11:19
jendamatthewrevell: I think you should start by reading the wiki ;)11:20
=== jenda thinks there are some basic points there, by Tikal
matthewrevelljenda: Cool, I'll have a hunt around on the wiki.11:22
digitalmouseyup already did that- this is why I said I thought she was doing a good job11:28
KenSentMedigitalmouse: you said you were a designer/have a graphical background. Do you have a website where i can see some off your work?11:29
matthewrevellI'm looking forward to dicsussing this in the meeting this evening.11:29
jendayep11:37
digitalmousehmm... I have a partial portfolio here:  http://digitalmouse.int.tc but it tends to focus on my website/linux skills11:47
digitalmousehmm... site appears to be down... ah, no.. just slow today.   I plan to move that site over to my own server this weekend, as well as update the portfolio11:48
digitalmouseit's running on a test server (http://alchemisten.serveftp.net/~digitalmouse/) but now that I bought my own dedicated server, I will be moving it over shortly.11:49
digitalmouseaw... heck... might as well do it now... I have a little time11:49
digitalmouseaway moving my website to a better server11:49
=== digitalmouse yawns
=== digitalmouse -moving my website to a real server
digitalmouseok... site should be up (seems they recently rebooted the in-house server router, so matthew: you can take a look-see... again it's more focused on my website work.  my publishing/graphic design experience pre-dates year 2000 - mostly work in PageMaker/Photoshop/Illustrator for a variety of local government and private clients (should be references on my CV to that effect).  I did do much of the graphical design on the websites in 11:54
digitalmouse(and the crowd goes silent)12:02
=== jenda has got to go, sorry ;)

digitalmousecool... take care Jenda12:09
digitalmousesorry, not matthew... Ken I meant (regarding where to look to see my work)... sorry, not paying attention to who was talking to me12:14
digitalmouse)12:14
digitalmousegetting old12:14
KenSentMedigitalmouse: ah, see it now12:15
KenSentMethanx12:15
digitalmouseyeah it's running a bit slow today... the host might be doing some development work on that server (it's only a test server anyway)12:15
KenSentMei'm running my own webserver, when it's slow i know it's my own fault12:16
digitalmouseI did set up that particular server that my site is running on, but I have not used it in many months, except as a backup server12:18
digitalmouseit's mostly in in-house testing server and runs dotproject (project management tool) for the employees12:19
KenSentMewell, i use it to run my own website (which i haven't got right now) and test all sorts of cms like systems12:20
digitalmouseyup I do the same - hence that is one of my main services, CMS support12:20
KenSentMei built some websites, but i'm not good enough at programming/php to fully support them. So now i don't anymore12:23
KenSentMeAnd my designs where not that good12:23
KenSentMeI recently hired someone to design a logo for me, but i find it very hard to express what kind of logo i want. The designs he came up with so far are not what i was looking for.12:25
GazzaKKenSentMe, I use websitebaker - it's a small cms system and suits me fine for personal website use12:27
KenSentMeGazzaK: well, the cms is not the problem, the design is12:27
digitalmouseabsolutely - there are som many decent CMS systems out there, it comes down to ease of customization and design of the theme to attract/impress the viewer12:30
digitalmouseso* many12:30

Kamping_Kaiserlol they do06:33

nixternalutc = gmt-106:35
poningruuh... it is?06:35
nixternalyup06:35
poningruI thought utc == gmt06:35
digitalmouseusually, except for months beginning in 'R'06:35
nixternalBecause Chicago is GMT-6 Central time...and it is UTC-506:35
digitalmouseerm  usually utc = gmt-1 I meant06:35
poningruno way man06:36
poningruhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time06:36
digitalmousenix might be applying daylight savings?06:36
nixternali am06:37
poningruah thats why06:37
nixternalforgot about that06:37
nixternalmy apologies ;)06:37
nixternalya, i totally forgot about daylight savings06:38
digitalmouseI'm at UTC+1 so I'll be at the meeting before everyone! (so-to-speak) :-)06:48
jendadigitalmouse: not at all - we have aussies on the team ;)06:48
dotwaffleGMT == UTC. Trust me.06:48
jendadotwaffle: yuppers06:48
digitalmousehmm.. that's true, they are +9:30 and +1006:48
dotwaffleBST == UTC +1 == GMT +1 (or thereabouts)06:49
jendaIn fact, digitalmouse, in another way of taking it - we'll be at the meeting at 9 PM. Our californian friends, however, will have been there since noon!06:49
dotwaffleI've been using UTC for about 2 years now, it's the "standard time" in aviation...06:50
dotwaffleMaybe the best way to say it is "we're meeting at 1900Z", then everyone has to consult wikipedia to find out exactly what the hell Z means ;)06:51
digitalmouseor we use swatch time :-p06:51
jendaWe prefer 19:00 UTC ;)06:52
digitalmouseswatch being 'internet time'06:52
digitalmousesupposedly.. though it never really caught on06:52
dotwaffleSwatch time was a great idea, except that they used the datum not as Berne, but the timezone Berne is in. Crazy folks.06:53
digitalmouseyup06:54
digitalmouseand it would not be a bad idea I guess, since ubuntu include an internet time panel/docklet (or did - have not checked in Dapper)06:55
=== jenda mumbles about OT
dotwaffleI can't believe I'm discussing timezones..06:56
digitalmouseI don't get OT (overtime) - I work for myself :-(06:57
jendathat stood for off-topic, digitalmouse ;)06:59
poningruzulu06:59
poningruz means zulu06:59
poningruholy shit06:59
poningruerr my bad @language06:59
poningruinstead of utc we should make zulu our official language06:59
jendawatch language in here - as the channel grows, we need to keep it "family-friendly"07:00
dotwaffleZ doesn't mean zulu, it's pronounced zulu. Each timezone has a letter assigned to it from A to Z (obviously the two with .5 hour denominations get letters too)07:00
dotwaffleANYWAY, back alter ;)07:01

adamant1988sheesh if it's that simple why is there no gui for it lol.08:15
=== jenda grumbles abotu this not being a support channel.
coopsterheh, if there's no text then it just doesnt feel like "from source" i guess ;)08:16
jendasorry adamant1988, but you'd probably get much more help in #ubuntu or #ubuntu-offtopic08:16
coopstertrue08:16
coopstermore and probably better help ;)08:16
jendaOn the other hand - you're welcome to both stay here and come to the meeting.08:16
adamant1988I didn't even ask for help, I was just commenting 0_008:17
=== GazzaK points at jenda's new sign, "hehehe"
=== jenda keeps watch on this channel and so finds OT disturbing.
coopsterheh, if he stays here, then one could make a pressing argument that the meeting will come to him =)08:17
jendaerr.. not disturbing - wrong word08:17
jendadisruptive.08:17
coopstersry08:17
jendanp there08:17
GazzaKwell they are talkign about blowing up laptops at the mo08:17
=== jenda minds his own business: /ignore #ubuntu-marketing all

jendaPlease check the /topic08:18
adamant1988actually when I try to go to the link it tells me the site is down because of complaints against... you.08:19
jendathe wiki and the meeting agenda will probably tell you quite a bit.08:19
jendayes, that's true. (that it says that)08:19
jendanow if you excuse me, I really need to get ready for the meeting. I can't explain now, sorry adamant198808:19

adamant1988yeah, I walk to work gazzak... half-hour walk... starts at 4 o' clock, still have to go to the bank to sort out some issues with my bank statement08:44
adamant1988the reason I say it's a shame I can't sit in is I've taken 3 marketing classes, 2 Accounting classes, and 1 economics class .  I feel I could at least generate some useful input...08:45
GazzaKjoin the mailing list then, and look to contribute in the future, work is work, that pays the bills, this is a hobby and doesn't08:46
adamant1988I don't have bills to pay really. I'm 1708:46
GazzaKlucky you then :)08:47
GazzaKso thats what the 1988 stands for then08:47
GazzaKI was born in 77 :p08:47
adamant1988haha hardly.  While I'm blessed with the gift of youth, I'm tainted with the curse of several mental disorders.08:47
adamant1988so I still pay my dues, one way or the other.08:48
GazzaKwriting is not one of them :)  thank god08:48
adamant1988what do you mean?08:48
GazzaKadam, where are you based?08:48
adamant1988West Virginia.08:48
GazzaKI mean you write well08:48
coopstertype well, anyway08:48
adamant1988Yeah, I've been told that haha.  I was talking at 1 year old.08:48
adamant1988complete sentances.08:49
GazzaKso was I "goo goo" and "gah gah"08:49
adamant1988Haha, amazing ^_^.  No my disorders stop at ADD and Bipolar disorder with psychosis.08:49
GazzaKADD is like ADHD isn't it?08:49
adamant1988yeah08:50
adamant1988But I'm not very hyperactive.08:50
GazzaKI've been told I get that, or i'm OCD08:50
GazzaKor just too geeky08:50
adamant1988I have some OCD tendancies, which is part of why my writing/typing is good.08:50
coopsterheh, good thing j_nda isn't looking, else we'd all get smacked around for being OT08:51
adamant1988There's nothing else going on.08:51
coopster::shrug:: didn't say i understood or agreed08:51
adamant1988Rooms that are constantly policed for being OT are either very busy with the topic at hand or die quickly08:52

coopsterwell, as long as no one tells sara, it should be fine08:52
adamant1988I can understand being upset about OT if we were in the middle of a conversation that somehow involved the topic at hand, but honestly, nothing else is going on, so who cares.08:52
_saraoff course08:52
jenda_sara: tikal?08:52
_sarayeah, I think that sara is better tikal confuses people08:53
GazzaKright, i'm away - smoking, before this meeting in 7 min08:53
adamant1988is that pronounced like 'tickle'?08:53
_saraclose enough08:53
_sarais the name of the Maya city in the North of Guatemala08:54
adamant1988or do you put a heavy emphasis on the 'a' to pronounce it like 'tik-ahl'08:54
coopsteror is it like 'tye k-ale' ?08:54
_saradependes on who you ask,  the emphasis on the a works for the spanish speaking people, but the other way is better for the indigenous people of guatemala08:54
adamant1988aha,  I understand :)08:55

GazzaKgood meeting jenda10:50
digitalmousenot bad jenda, good job10:56
digitalmousedotwaffle, I disagree with your earlier point about PDF being limited as a paper-based format.  PDF was never designed to limited to paper format only.  and there are good ecamples of PDF magazines formatted for screen and print that work quite well.  http://www.tuxmagazine.com comes to mind as a more recent successful example.  and it's their format that I think will allow ubuntu mag to prosper as well.  the website can provid11:00
digitalmouseexamples*11:00
dotwaffledigitalmouse: I'm not saying that it restricts to paper, I'm saying it's so much better to use hypertext in these situations.11:00
digitalmouseand pdf supports that, and fairly well.11:01
Bilangeyes, but paper doenst suport that ;)11:01
digitalmouseI can generate pdf documents with embedded link right out of php/mysql.  so that navigation is available for online readers, and people who print it out have the choice of doing it the old fashioned way:  turning-the-pages :-p11:02
digitalmouseeveryone gets covered that way11:02
digitalmouseuntil we can drag the tree-killers out of the last century :-p11:02
jendadotwaffle: the base format will be hmtl11:03
jendaGazzaK, digitalmouse thx ;)11:03
digitalmousethe website will be html, yes of course11:03
jendadigitalmouse: many people have trouble with pdfs - it should remain an optional DLable version of the mag.11:03
digitalmouseabsolutely, that was the plan from as far back as 6 months ago when I first joined the mag project.  grr... why was none of this known?  the tech aspect had already been discussed at one point.  all that was needed was content11:05
digitalmouseand to decide on who wrote that content, as well as who edited it11:05
jendadigitalmouse: perhaps because the forum is down and all that stuff with it.11:06
jendaHowever, I wanted to comment on your comment in #ubuntu-meeting.11:06
digitalmouseluckily my head still works :-p11:06
jendaNoone discussed your work because it just wasn't the topic - I asked tikal to share the active supporters, and I didn't catch her response, if there was one.11:07
jendaI know you were active there, and appreciate it ;)11:07
digitalmousejenda- no matter now.  these things can be tweaked via the wiki.. there is no-one else except you, dot and myself to discuss about it.  and that leaves all the other people who were at the meeting (I believe they are pretty much all gone by now)11:08
jendayep. But please discuss all tech issues with sara, and I believe she'll be announcing a relevant meeting soon.11:08
digitalmouseI'm not trying to throw up a 'what about me?' sign, just that much of the tech and content ideas have already been discussed and no-one here seems to be aware of that11:09
digitalmouseit's like you guys are practically starting from scratch again, and that *is* a bit frustrating11:09
digitalmousehopefully we can get some part of the old forums back so that we have it for archival content11:10
jendadigitalmouse: not at all - I think sara should be aware of what we have.11:11
digitalmousehopefully.11:12
jendadigitalmouse: I have the sql of the forum from a week ago ;)11:12
jendaI'll be working on making it accessible.11:12
digitalmousecomplete?11:12
jendaI think so. I was admin very briefly and did a backup.11:12
digitalmouseif you need help, holler- I can probably suck it into a phpBB base if you need it11:12
jendaI might ;)11:12
