| nixternal | [Tue Jul 11 2006] [12:59:41] <nixternal>mdz and mgalvin, if you need help with it, i can lend a hand today after the cc meeting | 12:15 |
|---|---|---|
| nixternal | it was mdz | 12:15 |
| Riddell | guess that didn't happen :) | 12:15 |
| nixternal | heh...is there a lot that still needs to get completed? | 12:16 |
| nixternal | or is it ready for release? | 12:16 |
| Riddell | I'm just about to release it | 12:19 |
| nixternal | cool | 12:19 |
| nixternal | when your done, and need me to update wiki at all..let me know | 12:19 |
| Riddell | update with what? | 12:19 |
| nixternal | i can get #7 started when you are done | 12:19 |
| Riddell | groovy | 12:19 |
| nixternal | hehe | 12:19 |
| nixternal | well, move #6 up the the current position, and put #7 into the "next issue" position..thats what i meant there ;0 | 12:20 |
| Riddell | nixternal: ok sent, please clean up the wiki | 12:25 |
| === nixternal gets on it | ||

| Burgundavia | nixternal: you around? | 01:26 |
| LaserJock | Burgundavia: do you have a couple minutes to look at a wiki page for me? | 01:29 |
| Burgundavia | LaserJock: yep | 01:29 |
| LaserJock | wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU | 01:30 |
| LaserJock | we've been adding some stuff | 01:30 |
| LaserJock | and I'd like your overall opinion on structure/organization | 01:30 |
| LaserJock | it seems like it could use some help to me | 01:30 |
| Burgundavia | it can | 01:31 |
| Burgundavia | first impression: too much bold | 01:31 |
| Burgundavia | however, you do clearly state what motu is | 01:31 |
| Burgundavia | the list of useful links needs to be subdivided | 01:31 |
| Burgundavia | maybe break out the "how do I become a motu" section | 01:31 |
| nixternal | ya Burgundavia | 01:32 |
| Burgundavia | nixternal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NvNetInstallationHowTo | 01:32 |
| nixternal | heh, my brother called and says his "Windows" computer is broken | 01:32 |
| Burgundavia | nixternal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/openChrome | 01:32 |
| nixternal | go go go..keep going | 01:32 |
| Burgundavia | nixternal: did you tell him you have this great fix? | 01:33 |
| nixternal | haha ya | 01:33 |
| LaserJock | Burgundavia: so maybe less bold and more use of sectioning? | 01:33 |
| Burgundavia | yes | 01:34 |
| LaserJock | what about a TOC? | 01:34 |
| Burgundavia | maybe talk about about the lifecycle of a package, and organize links around that | 01:34 |
| LaserJock | interesting idea | 01:35 |
| LaserJock | right now CategoryMOTU has 109 pages | 01:36 |
| LaserJock | I'd like to condense that down a bit | 01:36 |
| nixternal | jeesh | 01:37 |
| nixternal | i was going to make a motu joke, but decided against, it, as i need help from some of them | 01:37 |
| LaserJock | ah, go ahead, we're good sports ;-) | 01:38 |
| nixternal | done deal Burgundavia | 01:45 |
| Burgundavia | nixternal: thanks | 01:46 |
| LaserJock | Burgundavia: you can't move pages? | 01:46 |
| nixternal | Burgundavia is way to busy to move them | 01:46 |
| Burgundavia | LaserJock: too lazy | 01:46 |
| nixternal | lol | 01:46 |
| nixternal | he can find them though | 01:46 |
| Burgundavia | I am currently researching why my potato plants have little holes in the leaves | 01:47 |
| nixternal | type of potato? | 01:47 |
| nixternal | the little holes could be caused by aphids | 01:49 |
| nixternal | as the leafhopper which is common to the tator plants usually causing curling of the leaves or yellow spots | 01:49 |
| === nixternal took some horticulture classes w/in the last year | ||
| LaserJock | so it seems he's useful for more than just moving wiki pages | 01:50 |
| nixternal | also, fleabeetles can create holes that looks like you shot the leaf with a shotgun | 01:50 |
| nixternal | i told you LaserJock that i did some environmental science classes within the past year or 2 | 01:50 |
| nixternal | horticulture was some too | 01:50 |
| LaserJock | cool | 01:51 |
| nixternal | i got certified in the state of illinois to apply pesticides | 01:51 |
| nixternal | hahaha | 01:51 |
| LaserJock | I avoided the biology end | 01:51 |
| LaserJock | I like the chemistry/physics | 01:51 |
| nixternal | biology was fun | 01:51 |
| nixternal | heh, and i hated chem/phys | 01:51 |
| nixternal | i shouldn't say hate, but it wasn't my cup of tea | 01:51 |
| Burgundavia | looks like the holes are colorado potato beetle | 01:52 |
| Burgundavia | http://www.drmcbug.com/images/pests/Colorado%20Potato%20Beetle/CPB-HarmBIG.jpg | 01:52 |
| LaserJock | nixternal: well, people seem to usually love it or hate it | 01:52 |
| Burgundavia | leaves looks like this | 01:52 |
| nixternal | can you see white dust looking stuff on the leaves? | 01:52 |
| Burgundavia | no | 01:52 |
| nixternal | also, most beetles leave "poop" behind | 01:52 |
| crimsun | I liked 'em both so much I decided to stay in school a year more | 01:52 |
| Burgundavia | and there is nothing on the underside of any of the leaves | 01:52 |
| LaserJock | crimsun: hehe | 01:52 |
| === Burgundavia renames the channel #ubuntu-gardening | ||
| nixternal | haha | 01:53 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 01:53 |
| nixternal | i can give you the email of a professor that is a freakin' genius with this stuff..although he doesn't respond to mine at all | 01:53 |
| LaserJock | we should have a horticultural encyclopedia package | 01:53 |
| Burgundavia | sweet, gardeningforgeeks is available | 01:54 |
| Burgundavia | .com,.ca and .org, that is | 01:54 |
| nixternal | gahaha | 01:54 |
| nixternal | lets do it | 01:54 |
| nixternal | as i have a fairly large pepper patch | 01:54 |
| nixternal | when the mowers come through though, they tend to rob them blind | 01:55 |
| LaserJock | we grow some nice sage brush here in NV ;-) | 01:55 |
| nixternal | hehe | 01:55 |
| Burgundavia | hmm, it appears I am stumped on this pest | 01:57 |
| Burgundavia | there are just large holes in the leaves, but the undersides of the leaves are clear | 01:57 |
| Burgundavia | something has been eating them | 01:57 |
| nixternal | whoa | 01:57 |
| nixternal | they are clear in color? | 01:57 |
| nixternal | like the chlorophyll is gone? | 01:57 |
| Burgundavia | no, just eaten | 01:57 |
| Burgundavia | by clear, I mean there is no debris, eggs or anything similar | 01:58 |
| nixternal | that isn't white flies then | 01:58 |
| nixternal | it could be aphids or spider mites | 01:58 |
| Burgundavia | wouldn't I see aphids? I didn't see any | 01:58 |
| nixternal | both are very very hard to see with the eye | 01:58 |
| nixternal | ya...actually aphids would be easier to see then a spider mite | 01:59 |
| nixternal | thrips are good for green leaf distruction as well | 01:59 |
| Burgundavia | nope, that isn't it | 02:00 |
| Burgundavia | it most resembles colorado potato beetle, but I didn't see any egg layings | 02:00 |
| nixternal | heh, you are reading good info if you looked for eggs..also look for poop...that will infer some sort of beetle or worm as well | 02:01 |
| nixternal | none of the leaves have curled over have they? | 02:01 |
| Burgundavia | nope, not that | 02:01 |
| Burgundavia | the internet is a wonderful place to learn about these things, because you can look for images | 02:01 |
| nixternal | hehe ya | 02:02 |
| Burgundavia | it very clearly resembles this Search | 02:02 |

| nixternal | rofl | 02:16 |
| Burgundavia | no, haven't seen any of them | 02:16 |
| nixternal | everything on those beetles make it sound like they feed on the terminal portions..how ever the larvae eat everything | 02:17 |
| nixternal | the reason you may not see the eggs, is because the issue is past that stage | 02:17 |
| nixternal | there might actually be larvae doing the damage now | 02:18 |
| nixternal | but then again..it may not be an insect that is paticular to potatoes as well | 02:18 |
| nixternal | so that would be anything like grasshoppers, caterpillars, beetles, grubs, and bugs of that nature | 02:19 |

| LaserJock | both | 02:27 |
| Burgundavia | ok, there are some good pithy comments in rebuttal to this whole ted stevens debate | 02:28 |

| crimsun | it's all tubes for your personal internets | 02:29 |

| LaserJock | that's why they pay them the big bucks | 02:31 |
| Burgundavia | bah, term limits | 02:32 |
| Burgundavia | we need term limits | 02:32 |
| Burgundavia | no more than 8 years | 02:32 |

| mpt | That wouldn't change their composition... | 02:33 |
| LaserJock | Burgundavia: +1 | 02:33 |
| Burgundavia | if you make them stay out of off for at least 8 years, we might have new blood | 02:33 |

| LaserJock | I think the presidency is a bit different than the legislature, I can't really imagine a President being able to stay in office more than probably 4 terms | 02:39 |
| LaserJock | but in the legislator you could do like 60 years | 02:39 |

| Burgundavia | "I would rather have my fingers gnawed by rabid chimpmunks than use Launchpad some days" | 02:48 |
| mpt | *sigh* | 02:48 |
| mpt | Bugzilla has abused developers into being accustomed to horrid bugtrackers | 02:48 |
| crimsun | quite unfortunately | 02:48 |
| Burgundavia | gnome bugzilla has a few nice features | 02:49 |
| LaserJock | hmm, I've never used bugzilla | 02:49 |
| Burgundavia | bkor said he has been getting lost of pushback on getting those changes into upstream bugzilla | 02:49 |
| LaserJock | oh I did file a bug once on gnome's bugzilla | 02:49 |
| mpt | Burgundavia, really? b.g.o is relatively brilliant | 02:49 |
| Burgundavia | mpt: no idea why. There was a great deal of sighing when we learned of that | 02:50 |
| Burgundavia | mozilla as a whole seems to be very hostile to new ideas and people | 02:50 |

| LaserJock | hehe, I thought you mean rpm ;-) | 02:52 |
| LaserJock | meant | 02:52 |
| LaserJock | hmm, so do you guys have any suggestions about the best way to say that I derived parts of the PG from Debian docs? | 02:56 |
| crimsun | what's wrong with saying basically that? | 02:57 |
| crimsun | Portions of the Ubuntu Packaging Guide are derived from the Debian New Maintainer's Guide and from the Debian Policy Manual. | 02:58 |

| LaserJock | yes | 02:58 |
| LaserJock | I'm wondering though if perhaps the GPL wants more from me | 02:59 |
| crimsun | no | 02:59 |
| LaserJock | tbh, I don't quite follow the GPL when it comes to derivatives | 02:59 |
| crimsun | by using "derived from" and then stating explicitly from what, you've covered it. | 02:59 |

| jjesse | yeah? | 03:31 |
| nixternal | well hello there | 03:31 |
| nixternal | im going through the svn now looking at it..i thought there was a little bit there | 03:32 |
| nixternal | nothing but empty files and a ToC | 03:32 |
| jjesse | there was at one time an old file that i deleted because it was pretty pathetic | 03:32 |
| jjesse | in kubuntu/switching/ | 03:32 |
| nixternal | i was thinking...since there are 3 main version of MS Office people use, 2000, XP, and 2003 right now..that would make it a real pain as there are some signifigant differences there | 03:33 |
| jjesse | well 2003 is just for servers | 03:33 |
| nixternal | however, i was thinking about grabbing one of those "Office for Dummies" books as that covers the basics basics | 03:34 |
| nixternal | office 2003 jjesse..not windows | 03:34 |
| jjesse | oh yeah | 03:34 |
| nixternal | and take the information that comes in one of those books, and show the OOo or KO counterpart | 03:34 |
| nixternal | however, i think KO is unnecessary, as it doesn't even have Office support really | 03:34 |
| jjesse | should just focus on default installed applications | 03:35 |
| nixternal | ya, since it is switching from windows the defaulte apps are good | 03:35 |
| nixternal | that would also be good documentation at a later date, either via docbooks, or wiki..a switching from MS Office | 03:36 |

| nixternal | take those and do the Ubuntu style of them | 03:38 |
| jjesse | i think that's streaching things | 03:38 |
| jjesse | making the SFW guide bigger then it needs to be | 03:39 |
| nixternal | ok | 03:39 |
| nixternal | is this going to entail stuff like "start menu, explorer, control panel, my documents, my computer, network neighborhood, maybe outlook express & internet explorer, stuff like that? | 03:40 |

| mdke_ | it's at https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/branches/dapper | 11:18 |

| robotgeek | heh, check email | 05:17 |
| nixternal | oh..the 21st? | 05:17 |
| nixternal | heh, there are a bunch of meetings for me this week | 05:17 |
| robotgeek | i will be on a flight, and be really busy. the week after that, things should have settled down | 05:17 |
| nixternal | fun stuff there | 05:17 |
| robotgeek | there should not be too much stuff to do with the Desktop Guide this time, i guess | 05:18 |
| nixternal | you would think the desktop guide would almost have to wait for for a release or 2, so you can actually document the changes to the desktop and what not | 05:19 |
| nixternal | the kubuntu desktop guide shouldn't change much at all...as it will be kde 3.5.3 which doesn't have many differences, just improvements really | 05:20 |
| robotgeek | yup. it will be adding some more polish, bugfixes etc | 05:20 |
| nixternal | ya | 05:20 |
| nixternal | i haven't looked..is there some doc bugs that need fixing...type of fixing i can do...i shall check | 05:21 |
| robotgeek | nixternal: essentially looking through and seeing if we can improve a few things. | 05:21 |
| nixternal | ya, which there is always a way to improve | 05:22 |
| nixternal | heh, i just realised that i am a wiki member, not a doc member...shows you how much i pay attention to the list of teams on the launchpad | 05:30 |
| nixternal | 13,517 bugs to fix | 05:30 |
| nixternal | lets go!!! | 05:30 |

| nixternal | g | 08:23 |
| jjesse | ummm there have been no updates since dapper really so nothing to merge | 08:24 |
| nixternal | that is what i kind of figured, but wasn't 100% positive | 08:24 |
| nixternal | i have been going through the kubuntu documentation, looking for typo's, and stuff like that..haven't found anything out of the ordinary that would warrant changes | 08:25 |
| jjesse | well the releasenotes have to be completly re-written which i'm working today on | 08:25 |
| nixternal | if i find something, should i create a bug, and then possibly attempt to make a fix, create the diff, and post it to the bug or email it to ya? | 08:25 |

| Caterpillar_Memb | is there a room for that? lol | 09:45 |
| Caterpillar_Memb | was extremely inappropriate | 09:45 |
| nixternal | you got banned for a reason im sure...however, this isn't a channel to ask for help in, unless of course you are having issues with documentation or website issues | 09:46 |
| nixternal | thanks | 09:46 |
| Caterpillar_Memb | well, he told me to stop spamming, and I was like...dude...I'm not spamming, I'm just asking for help with php...this is #php | 09:46 |
| Caterpillar_Memb | but...i mean...where to i go for help? | 09:47 |
| nixternal | help for what? | 09:47 |
| Caterpillar_Memb | help with removing improper bans? | 09:47 |
| Caterpillar_Memb | it says 'you can always message a staffer' | 09:48 |

| crimsun | sorry, but we don't have any control over #php | 09:48 |

| === Caterpillar_Memb tries it | ||
| crimsun | type that. There's at least one who's active. | 09:49 |
| nixternal | this channel is logged for documentation purposes, and used to confer documentation topics, you are currently spamming this channel with stuff not related to Ubuntu documentation.

| Laser_away | nixternal: yeah, but my feeling is that these newsletters need to really be on time and consistent | 09:55 |
| Laser_away | but I think everybody knows that | 09:55 |
| nixternal | they should have been, but i am kind of at fault because i said i could help, and didn't with the last one | 09:55 |
| Laser_away | well, that's where it seemsed to be a tad bit of a lack of communication there | 09:56 |
| nixternal | ya there was, as i had to refer back to the log file in order to find that | 09:57 |
| nixternal | i believe i offered to help him and mdz get it out | 09:57 |
| nixternal | i will try to stay up to date with it, and i will mark it so i know not to forget about it..but i believe we need some other's to help contribute stories/news | 09:58 |
