Klaidasbut how come it's today, I thought it's every two weeks?08:53
Klaidasumm08:54
KlaidasUbugtu says, it's now :)08:54
jendaKlaidas: we made it earlier. I asked at the meeting last time if anyone minded. I wanted to get SU a little furthered, because I'm leaving for three weeks.08:55
jenda(No one opposed the idea)08:55
Klaidasoh, ok :)08:56
jendaUbugtu seems to announce meetings a few minutes early. Let's start in those four minutes... :) I want at least someone to turn up...08:56

jendaOKay...09:03
jendaAre there any of the people who submitted SpreadUbuntu designs around?09:03
=== nixternal [n=nixterna@ubuntu/member/nixternal] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
jendahello nixternal 09:05
jendathe meeting seems rather... poorly attended :)09:05
nixternalwell hello there09:05
nixternalit looks like it09:05
jendaI'd like at least some of the designers to have come... but it's not happening. Is there anyone who'd like to comment on the SU designs?09:06
nixternalcan i vote on some of the designs for spread ubuntu?09:06
nixternalhehe09:06
nixternalthere are 2 i really like i think..link me again09:06
_saraI also like ehat I see09:06

jendaI was about to link the one I found original... but the link is broke, gimme a sec.09:07
=== mhz apologize for being late
_sarathe one by nestor09:08
nixternali love the cleanliness of ubuntu-geek's design09:08
jenda_sara: exactly09:08
jendaThe docteam server fails, for some reason, give me three seconds...09:08
nixternali like the "see it, try it, get it, ship it, spread it" icons from kassetra09:09
jendanixternal: check :)09:09
jendaThat's exactly what I'd like to do - piece it together...09:09
nixternalbut truthfully, Just Hayes design with the correct colors is the winner for me ;)09:09
nixternalas it blends with the ubuntu website09:09
nixternalwhich i just found out is using Plone..because im trying to get the same look for http://chi.ubuntu-us.org09:10
_sarauhh09:11
jendaWould you guys think asking Kassetra to get the design in order for the marketing team is a good idea?09:11
jendaAs in - making an amalgam of the existing designs according to the outcome of this meeting?09:12
_sarasounds good to me09:12
jendanixternal?09:13
ormiretDo we have to hand off to one person?09:13
nixternali like the design...but why pick one person, is there a reason?09:13
jendaNo, we do not - but if we do not, I'm quite sure it will not be done. I won't be here to push the designers.09:13
nixternalok..if we want to stick with the Ubuntu layout, then we need everyone to help..however, if we pick another design, then ok09:14
nixternali like the layout and flow of Ubuntu-Geeks design..however, there are others with the globe that are HOT!!!09:14
KlaidasUbuntu-Geek's design seems nice - warm calours, easy, light design , I like it09:14
jendaI, for one, don't think we should stick to it too stubbornly. But the top bar might be a nice idea.09:14
ormiretI think people can cooperate without being pushed. We can come up with a timeline now.09:15
jendaI'm coming back on the 12th, and would like to have a skeleton of the site up for content to be added.09:15
_saraI think that setting a dateline should be fine09:17
nixternalyou know...Alecks has the hottest design, no doubt about it...and it would function as one of those "target hit pages" that the firefox team does to get hits and to populate their ideas09:17
jendaOK... but I don't think just ending the meeting now with 'people will cooperate on the design' will result in having a completed design.09:17
ormiretwhat needs done to achieve that?09:17
mhzcould we set a kind of 'contest' ?09:17
nixternallike if we had a "Spread Ubuntu" button for web sites to display...and they clicked the link...and came to Alecks's layout...that would be pretty awesome09:18
ormireta skeleton of a site is a fairly vague definition.09:18
mhzthis way there will be 'objectives', 'timeline', etc.09:18
mhzand 'voting'09:18
jendaOTOH, if we ask one of the proposed designs authors, they will (happily, I think) take it on their shoulders to create a design and ask others for help / accept help when offered.09:18
nixternalhowever...one thing needs to be known...the pages sizes should be optimized for 800x600...just in case, because we are not only marketing to people with 21 lcd's, but people with 15" crts09:18
jendamhz: that has already happened, in a way. We have about 7 proposals now (more, but from 7 people)09:19

_saraSo how are we going to pick one09:19
nixternalhow about we tell all the designers, we like this layout, with this look, and these buttons, and would like you all to create a collaboration of the designs we enjoy09:19
nixternaland then they can submit new creations09:19
jendaAnd I was going to vote/choose a person at this meeting who would take care of getting the job done...09:19
jendahmm09:19
jendainteresting09:19
ormiretI don't think we can pick a person and land them with the job when they aren't here.09:20
jendanixternal: that seems to be a little overkill: I think they were instructed to do that _till_ now.09:20
_sarathat is like seven people, and that is alot of people to collaborate09:20
jendaormiret: I'd ask the person personally if need be09:20
nixternalit could be overkill all it wants to be, it will get us the designs we like, then so be it09:20
nixternalif it will get*09:20
nixternalthere is nothing wrong with saying, hey we really like your design, but there are other ideas we would like to see implemented...can you all do a redesign using the stuff we like09:21
jendaAnd will it? I think it has already been happening, and now is the time to continue on one single piece of work...09:21
nixternalbeat the dead horse, i dont' care, as long as a design is created that WE ALL like09:21
jendahehe :)09:21
nixternalright now, we are all going, well i like this design, and i like those buttons, and i like these colors, and that is cool09:22
nixternalwe need to bring it all together now09:22
KlaidasI might be missing something, but will there be a voting to decide which design we will use?09:22
_saraYeah, maybe we don't need to pick one but narrow them dowan and then ask for a last refinement09:22
nixternalyes09:22
nixternalKlaidas: i am sure we will vote on a design09:22
nixternaland maybe the current designs should be placed in a poll..and then everyone can vote on it, and add comments09:22
jendaYes, and I'd like a single person to put it all together. We should choose that person according to those designs (and choose a second and third if they decline...)09:23
nixternalwe can take the most popular comments, ideas, and design, and work on implementing them09:23
=== mhz suggests -as in other ocassions has worked- to call the voting in the wiki, so those who can't be on IRC, can still vote
jendaKlaidas: we will discuss, and see if we get consent or almost-consent :)09:23
=== tritium [n=tritium@ubuntu/member/tritium] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
nixternalor, you can create a poll in the forusm correct?09:23
mhzor we can create a poll in Moin too09:23
jendaHmm...09:23
KlaidasOr create one poll, and lik to it from everywhere09:24
Klaidas*link09:24
ormiretI don't think this meeting is well enough attended to make any descisions, so wiki/forum polls sound better to me.09:24
jendaI don't think we should, because that way the results are very, very unreliable. How do we decide who can vote and who can't - and if everyone can, it's simply very vague - anyone can convince X people to vote this way or that.09:24
mhztrue09:25
ormiretdo the vote on the ML then.09:26
KlaidasTrue, but the website is for public, not for us only09:26
=== jenda has an evil idea that only design submitters or SU contributors should be able to vote... }:->
ormiretwe do still need to decide who has a vote...09:26
_saraMaybe you should extend that to marketing team contributors09:26
jendaMakes sense, to an extent...09:26
jendaDo you mean all LP MT members?09:27
nixternalthat is very true..what we can do is set a meeting date, no less then 2 weeks in advanced..and let it be known we will be voting on stuff...and if 5 people show up, then 5 people vote and thats that09:27
Klaidasyou mean a meeting for voting?09:28
jendaI think this is too complicated. We do not have a council, so we can't make fair votes, I think.09:28
nixternalnow, if an even amount show up and there is a split, we need to find an arbitrator ;)09:28
jendaPolls are OK to see the public opinion09:28
ormiretI don't like doing it live cause it gives too much power to those who happen to be in the most convenient timezones09:28
jendanixternal: I disagree. This meeting was announced 8 days beforehand09:28
_sarayea all LP members, I don't know about the meeting some timezones ar enot conviniets09:28
jendaWell, it's not like we are deciding anything that important.09:29
mhzwhy would people vote if they are not interested? Why would someone convince X people to vote for his design? We have Code of Conduct09:29
nixternalthat is true...then we should send out an email stating, if you cannot be at the meeting, here is the agenda, email us your views and what not09:29
jendamhz: that is very true, but the poll doesn't guarantee best results.09:29
mhzright09:29
mhzbut voting does09:30
jendanixternal: I really want to have this decided at the end of this meeting, or tomorrow at worst, because I'm leaving then.09:30
nixternalok, no polls because they aren't accurate, no voting because we don't have a cc...draw from a hat?09:30
ormiretjenda: other people can count votes09:30
nixternaland who draws, because if we don't like the outcome, others will get upset09:30
ormiretwe can decide on a mechanism to vote now09:30
KlaidasNo matter what we would do, it won't bee good for 100% of people09:31
jendamhz: no, it does not, unless a qualified group does the voting (eg: all citizens -criminals and judges; community members or community council)09:31
nixternalhow do we decide what gets implemented, ever way for a member or the community to get involved at this point is impossible due the poll issue and us not having a cc structure09:31
_saracan you limit who can vote on launchpad polls09:31
nixternalhow about we work on that, and then decide on designs..because right now it is pretty confusing09:31
jenda_sara: yes, but we can't decide on that.09:32
ormiretwe can manually count votes if necessary, what we really need to decide is who gets to vote.09:32
ormiretand when09:32
nixternali agree ormiret, but that is creating a CC within the team, and my understanding is that isn't wanted09:33
mhzMoin voring states who voted, what voted, when voted, publicly available. And, all subscribers to the page can still get notified by email09:33
jendaI really think this is no big issue to continue to discuss so complicatedly how to choose the designer. When we chose project leaders, it was the obvious choice of people who were about to create the projects in question09:33
nixternalwell the designer isn't obvious to me09:33
jendaIn this case, that points towards the submitters of the designs09:33
nixternali like 3 or 4 designers09:33
=== Klaidas likes, umm, maybe 2
jendaThat narrows down the options.09:33
Klaidasbut one it the fovourite ;)09:33
nixternalim 3 on the dot actually09:33
=== mhz likes 3 but not sure if he counts ;)
nixternalif i had to go for a favorite i wouldl be biased...as the 3 designs have various implications for marketing09:34
jendaWe aren't talking particular designs, now, we are talking designers09:34
nixternalhow do we pick a designer?09:34
mhzoh09:34
ormiretthrow the names in - if they are the saem 2 or 3, we could just ask them to coperate.09:34
jendaTHe ideal designer needs to have the dedication, and the talent. He does'nt have to be a perfect artist, because he can ask others for help with art.09:34
jendaormiret: +109:35
nixternalim not worried about art, as we have a team just for that09:35
mhzany of those designers have made substainable contribution? has been around for at least a couple of months and is very aware of needs?09:35
pyginixternal: indeed09:35
nixternalright now is web design/layout09:35
nixternalpygi: this is hard being in 2 meetings at once09:35
nixternal;)09:36
pyginixternal: I do same :P09:36
jendaOK... can I propose one of these designers?09:36
nixternali know..you are in the other meeting i am in with docs ;)09:36
jenda:)09:36
pygiI do believe I have a designer who might help us09:36
nixternalim biased in my pick09:36
pygiI might even show some of his works :)09:36
nixternallet us see ;)09:36
pygibut you know better then me anyway :P09:36
=== nixternal knows nothing about anything ;)
pygipykix.net, pygi.pykix.net, kix.pykix.net, blog.pykix.net, and some more (kinda I cant show that yet :P) great stuff09:37
jendaKassetra is an ubuntu member. She has worked for the ubuntuforums for a long time, and has recently been released for what seemed a personal dispute to me.09:37
pygilogos for DesktopBSD package manager, numerous apps, etc.09:37
pyginixternal: exactly :)09:38
jendaWhich means she will have plenty of time to work on the design, and it might give her a chance not to get angry at the community and fall back in. Most importantly, she submitted a rather good design.09:38
pyginobody knows anything :P09:38
jendapygi: who are we talking about?09:38
nixternalmje09:39
nixternalme09:39
jendaah09:39
jendanixternal: are you up for the job?09:39
pygijenda: nah, he got it wrong :P09:39
jendaah09:39
jenda...09:39
nixternalshe was released from Ubuntuforums?09:39
=== jenda is confused
nixternalme too09:39
pygijenda: Josip Lisec, he isnt actually part of community, but I am sure he would like to help09:39
pygiand become part of the community if we allowed him that09:39
_sarauhhm I think that we need to show the people that submitted other desing that we aprecited it, maybe Kassendra with ALck09:39
jendanixternal: yes, and several new mods, incl. me, were recruited09:40
ormiretI'm not sure we need to go looking for more designers - we already have 7 to pick from09:40
jendaI think so too09:40
jendapygi: I'm sorry, but I must say we've had a lot of time to submit design proposals, and it has been well announced, I think. IMO, we should choose among what we have.09:41
nixternalwhat about Alecks?09:41
nixternalhe has the hottest look by far09:41
pygijenda: oki, no worries :)09:41
mhzjenda: +109:41
jendaAh, here's the original idea which i wanted to point out: http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/spreadubuntu/Design%20Mockups/Nestor%20Diaz/spread_ubuntu.png09:41
_saraMaybe a mix of Alcks and Kassetra09:42
nixternalthe only thing i liked from Kassetra was the See It, Get It, Ship It stuff09:42
jendaI'm not saying i like it, though :-D I'm interested in what you guys think of the radically different idea.09:42
nixternaljenda: the original idea is HOT man!!!09:42
nixternalhow come that is the first time i have seen it?09:42
jendanixternal: I think we could ask kassetra and alecks to cooperate.09:42
jendanixternal: no idea :)09:42
jendaDo you bazaar?09:42
jenda:)09:42
nixternalya09:42
nixternallol..i see it now09:43
nixternalduh09:43
=== ormiret likes the speech bubbles
nixternaljenda: im sorry, with some tweaking the original is the way to go09:43
jendaI think so too.09:43
nixternalya, i like how it incorporates EVERYTING UBUNTU09:43
jendaSo, that adds a third candidate?09:43
_saraI actually don't like the originall09:43
nixternalyou have the circle of friends, the logo with every branch in it09:43
jendahehe :)09:44
nixternali think that is the perfect front page to a Spread Ubuntu portal09:44
jendayes - disagreement, that means discussion :)09:44
ormirethmm, I don't like the combination logo09:44
nixternali do however, it needs to be tweaked09:44
_saranixeranl, I see what you mean, but the page is not as attractive09:45
jenda_sara: do you not like the idea or the way it's made?09:45
nixternalthe center is to big, and the portions are to skinny09:45
=== bimberi finally catches up
nixternalimbrandon created one a few months back that was killer09:45
jendathat can always be adjusted, ya know :)09:45
jendanixternal: what??? :)09:45
_saraI like the idea, not the execution, The way it was made, some new proposal are more attractive09:45
nixternalexactly 09:45
jenda_sara: And would you agree that having Spreadubuntu in this original design, if made with pro-quality, would be good?09:46
nixternalthe big spread ubuntu bubble up top needs to be tweaked, and reduce the amount of "White" 09:46
_saraJenda, I agree09:46
jendanixternal: I think it needs severe tweaking, but I _really_ love the new look.09:46
bimberiof the designs i prefer that "speech bubble" one too09:47
nixternalwith tweaking of course...im hands down in favor of the original design with massive tweaking09:47
ormiretis there any objections to the speech bubble idea?09:47
jendaormiret: Would you like the rest of the design if there was no combinated logo?09:47
bimberinot sure about the mixed logo though - that would have to be cleared by canonical09:47
jendabimberi: check.09:47
ormiretjenda: yes09:47
jendaOK... I think we have clear consensus here :)09:47
_sarabut who will do it?09:47
jendaAny objections to the general concept of the speech bubble circle of friends?09:48
jenda_sara: point no. 2 :)09:48
=== nixternal says no
nixternalno objections that is09:48
bimberino objection here09:48
jendaI believe we should approach nestor and ask him to refine the idea.09:48
_sarano objection09:48
jendaWe might also email the mailing list and ask anyone else to contribute to the final form of the idea.09:49
nixternali would like to see the combo logo though, just cleaner and implemented better...i would like to see no less then say 5 versions of it?09:49
jendahttp://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/spreadubuntu/Design%20Mockups/Nestor%20Diaz/09:49
=== mhz is sure, that whatever you decide, it will always be possible to get modified upon requests
jendaMind you, there is an SVG available.09:49
ormiretwe are going to need someone very good at web design to pull off the speech bubbles well...09:49
nixternalglass the bubbles with that human tint..i love that look09:50
_saraexcatly, I really don't want the use of flash09:50
nixternalbrown is becoming a color i really like..and i use kubuntu ;)09:50
nixternaloh..ya, do not use flash09:51
bimberiyes, keep it Free09:51
nixternalotherwise new users who haven't figured out flash & ubuntu would hate us09:51
nixternalexactly bimberi09:51
jendaNo flash, that is imperative, otherwise i quit :)09:52
jendaSo - what do you people think about:09:52
jenda1) Asking Nestor Diaz to further his idea09:52
jenda2) Asking the other designers to try and develop their own ideas on that idea09:52
jenda3) Making a general notice for outsiders to do the same09:52
jenda4) Repeating this meeting on August 13, same time and finally deciding which design goes?09:52
bimberiooh, now that's tempting ;P09:52
jendaPlease yay or nay this plan...09:52
_sarayay09:52
nixternaljenda: 5) All the above09:53
nixternal;)09:53
ormiretI think we need to add we are looking for actual web design now - not more raster mockups09:53
jendaormiret: yes09:53
ormiretyay09:53
bimberijenda +109:53
jendamhz: your vote can count too :)09:53
_sara+109:54
jendaMust have hurt his feelings, oh well :)09:54
bimberiand +1 for actual web design too09:54
jendaOK, if there are any objections later, please email me :)09:54
=== jenda is very happy about this being reached.
nixternallol09:54
ormiretadn without wiki polls :)09:55
nixternalno doubt09:55
jendaBTW, I'll ask kassetra to create one based on this with her icons in it :-D09:55
nixternalonly because jenda was holding back on that design ;)09:55
jendanixternal: shush!09:55
nixternalhehe09:55
ormirethave we got anything else to disciss?09:56
ormiret(it's well past my bedtime)09:56

nixternalit is just place holders ormiret, as i have aske dthe list to fill "in between the lines"...this is a community task, not a nixternal task..im just implementing everyones ideas into the page10:02
nixternalheh, i didn't get the V2 in up there10:02
nixternalsorry10:02
jendanixternal: I'll do my best to help fill in the gaps once i get back.10:02
ormiretyeah, what I meant was put some actual text in there - not worrying too much about ti being perfect - and then people will start telling you what is wrong with it.10:03
nixternaloh, i know you will jenda, you im not worried about...we have a lot of people that want things to get done on the team, and when i ask for assistance it doesn't happen..so it kind of annoyed me a little10:03
=== lloydinho_ [n=andreas@rosinante.egmont-kol.dk] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
nixternalsee ormiret, i can do that with no problem, but that isn't involving the community..i don't want people to go, that was done by nixternal, i want them to say, check out what the Marketing Team did...just my concern i guess10:04
ormiretI can help with coming up with some text10:05
ormiretI actually meant to do this when you sent mail about it but I forgot...10:05
=== bimberi will try too
nixternallol10:06
jendaI understand what you mean. I felt similarly when the deadline of July 12 and no designs were made.10:06
jenda:)10:06
ormiretI think the community involvment will take care of itself once there is soemthing to edit, but a lot of people are reluctant to create stuff from scratch10:07
nixternali have noticed, there sure are a lot of people on the launchpad page, and some complained about getting knocked off a while back..and i would love to get them involved, so their involvment is a little more then a link on their launchpad stating they are a member10:07
bimberisometimes it's just better do mock something up totally and let people revise, rather than asking for "green field" contributions10:07

nixternalbimberi: +110:09
jendabimberi: laziness, business10:09
bimberiyes, possibly10:09
nixternalthere are people that want to help, but just don't know how to, i would love to target them on this project as well10:09
ormiretI think ther are a lot of people who join teams they are interested in, even if they don't have the time / inclination to actually contribute much10:09
nixternali might goto the forums with that idea actually10:09
bimberior not in agreement with direction and not bothered to speak up10:09
nixternali know i shouldn't take it to heart but i do..i try to work hard had giving back to Ubuntu, because of everything Ubuntu has done and what it stands for...so me being apart of a team means a lot..i try to spread my time among all times equally..i can't always, but i try to10:11
ompaulbimberi, you are correct, and think some would not be aware of it10:11
nixternalso with that being said, it angers me at times when people join a team and do nothing, say nothing, and contribute nothing..and then complain or actually voice for once their opinion when you knock them off a list10:11
bimberiperhaps we should make that a regular thing ;p10:12
nixternalthat just shows me that their involvement is just the link on their launchpad page making them seem larger..i don't know, and i hope i just didn't go against CoC...but i did go OT big time10:12
jendanixternal: I've advertised the MT on the forums before10:12
jendavery successfully. OTOH, if we tried to do that again, we might be considered spammers :)10:13
nixternalwell, im going to advertise it to Ubuntu Chicago, as i have some guys that are interested in helping out, and are fairly new to the community10:13
jendanixternal: great :)10:13
ormiretI'm not that worried about people being in the team that aren't doing much - they have shown an interest and they might do something to help in the future, kicking them out cause they haven't sone anything does annoy me though.10:13
jendaBTW, same thinking as you are describing now led to my proposal (and execution) of the LP memberlist pruning, which ormiret so opposed to :)10:14
nixternalwell, i agree with you ormiret on that wholeheartedly, as im sure some are very busy in their personal life10:14
_saraWell, but if they don't do anythin for a whole year maybe they should not be part of the eam10:14
nixternalhowever, if possible, let us know that you are busy right now, and don't expect much..just odn't join a list and be idle..it isn't irc ;)10:14
ompaul_sara, how do you know they don't take your magazine and publish 100 copies and give it to key influencers?10:14
ormiretwhat harm do they do being on this list and not doing anything?10:15
nixternalthere is no harm at all10:15
=== jenda isn't even thinking of another mass kick. The people on there now have _expressed_ interest, which is good enough IMO.
nixternallol10:15

nixternaloh heck no jenda, but i think it needs to be said "hey, we have people here that want to work and are working, and there are a few of you on a list that we havn't heard from, please give us some input as to what.....fill in the rest"10:16
ompauljust a question, it is more or less retorical10:16
jendaBTW, all memberships last one year, so if they don't say they still want to be involved, they'll have to ping an admin again10:16
ompauljenda, well lets see they should not have to ping the admin should ping them10:16
jendaompaul: Am I saying anything? :)10:16
nixternalwe have a team of 47 according to launchpad..and i see at most 10 active10:16
ompaulthere is a good reason for that10:17
jendaompaul: LP will ping them.10:17

bimberinixternal: that might be a pretty good ratio ;)10:17
ompaul ubuntu memberships is 2 years10:17
jendaBTW - DIY Marketing itself is not exactly Marketing Team activity, IMO - That would be, eg. documenting local marketing activity to help DIY activity globally10:18

jendamhz: Things of the sort will be part of the DIY section, but we will first have to create the structure to carry such content - the content will then be created by the community (and approved by SU admins)10:27
jendanixternal: +1, great wording on that one.10:27

HedgeMageHey folks, everyone ready to start?11:32
=== HedgeMage hears crickets
HedgeMagepygi, lloydinho, mhz... anyone out there?11:33
lloydinho_oh, I'm not really here..11:33
=== lloydinho_ hides
HedgeMagehehe11:34
=== jenda waves at HedgeMage, but gets out of the way for the meeting. Already had my share today :)
HedgeMagehi jenda :)11:35
HedgeMageI'll start whenever there are signs of life, folks.11:35
=== nixternal is listening in
=== pygi listens :)
=== Hawkwind Watches/listens
mhzre11:36
HedgeMageYay, life!11:37
=== mhz is here
HedgeMageFirst of all, I'd like to encourage anyone who's interested to check out http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuHandbook as I'll probably be referring to it or its sub-pages at some point.11:38
=== mhz offers colombian coffee and a piece of chocolate
HedgeMagemmm chocolate!11:38
HedgeMageWould someone please be kind enough to offer to take minutes and post them to the edubuntu mailing list since RobinShepard isn't here today?11:39
=== mhz offers
HedgeMageThanks, hon11:41
=== HedgeMage smooches mhz in thanks :)
mhzI udestand minutes is taking notes and sum it up in a doc?11:42
HedgeMageyep11:42
mhzthen okis, I can do it today11:42
HedgeMagethen post to edubuntu-devel and/or edubuntu-user11:42
mhznp11:42
HedgeMagegreat.11:42
HedgeMageThen, for the quick update for those who are new: "Edubuntu Cookbook" was voted to change to "Edubuntu Handbook" same content, less confusing name.11:43
mhzgreat! Docbook is not a prerequisiste11:44
HedgeMageYep :)  We set up an "unofficial" (official to handbook but not sponsored by canonical) SVN repo for people who don't have ubuntu-doc SVN commit access and/or people who want to work in plain text or other non-docbook stuff and have others do the converting for them11:46
HedgeMagethat's at http://svn.binaryredneck.net/handbook and I'll give commit access to pretty much anyone who asks, since anything we commit to ubuntu-doc repo will get looked over first11:47
HedgeMageif you need access, just pm me and I'll get to it after the meeting11:47
mhzgreat! now I get why pygi was happy about trac11:47
HedgeMage:)11:47
mhzexcellent, I will11:48
HedgeMagehttps://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuHandbook/EdgyTasks is a sign-up sheet for people who want to work on a chapter (feel free to just update relevant content from the old cookbook if applicable)11:48
=== mhz has read all pages suggested by EdubuntuHandbook
HedgeMageWe ask that no one be signed up for more than 3 unfinished chapters at a given time (feel free to take another if you've finished one of course)11:49
=== FunnyLookinHat [n=funnyloo@167.246.8.60] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mhzI have a couple of observations11:49
mhzshall I ?11:50
HedgeMagego for it!11:50
mhzmy main motivation to use Edubuntu is that I am close to many schools with PII and PIII11:50
pygimhz: why was I so happy? care to say? :)11:50
mhzand a server would not be over PIV 1.2 GHz and 512 MB of ram11:51
mhzso, EdubuntuHndbook seems to be for 'normal' Edubuntu labs11:51
mhzusing GNOME and default apps.11:51
mhzIn my case, I am forced to not use GNOME11:51
mhzand choose XFCE or less11:52
HedgeMagemhz: We'd love it if you'd like to do a chapter on other WMs that are available!11:52
mhz(IceWM, Wmaker, Fluxbox, etC)11:52
=== HedgeMage bats her eyes at mhz as she tries to talk him into it
HedgeMagefvwm is extremely light, too, but takes lots of getting used to11:52
mhzoh, so are you sure, scope is not only 'default' edubuntu?11:52
BurgworkHedgeMage, devils advocate question: Why is that not in doc team svn11:52
Burgwork?11:52
HedgeMageBurgwork: we just use the unofficial repo as an intermediary stem, it is going in the docteam svn repo11:53
mhzpygi: I think because handbook is svn and so Trac is Moin + SVN :)11:53
HedgeMageBurgwork: some people are working in plaintext or .odt and letting others convert, etc.11:53
Burgworktaht is not an issue11:53
HedgeMageBurgwork: which isn't an issue? I'm confused.11:54
Burgworktaht people are using odd ball formats11:54
pygiBurgwork: it was agreed me and hedge must provide patches first :)11:54
mhzHedgeMage: then, in my case, it would mean I should 'add' subchapters in hardware reqs, printing, and backing up 11:55
Burgworkif you dump a good deal of work on us right away, we will give you commit access11:55
Burgworktaht is what happened with the xubuntu guy11:55
HedgeMageBurgwork: Can we talk about that after the meeting? We've now gone through this six times with five different docteam people, all telling us slightly different versions of what we should be doing.11:56
HedgeMageBurgwork: it kind of ate our last couple of meetings.11:56
Burgworksure, no worries11:56
HedgeMageThanks11:56
mhzHedgeMage: then , ok to add subchapters?11:57
HedgeMagemhz: hardware reqs, choosing and installing a light WM, and configuring a WM seem applicable11:57
HedgeMagemhz: I'm not sure printing and backing up would change appreciably11:57
mhzhmm, basically, my setups are through webbrowser11:58
mhzand fro backing up11:58
mhzno idea what the defualt app is11:58
HedgeMagemhz: how about a "part" entitled "Working with light Window Managers" and then whatever chapters you think it need under that?11:58
HedgeMagemake the light wm one part IV and make the current part IV part V11:58
mhzwiser, lot wiser11:59
HedgeMageif that makes sense.11:59
HedgeMageAnyone have thoughts?11:59
mhzHedgeMage: is this book to be printed?12:00
mhzor mostly online?12:00
pygimhz: Lulu12:00

=== HedgeMage hears crickets
mhzok12:00
mhzpygi: and how about trasnlations?12:00
HedgeMagemhz: please add the needed part/chapters to EdgyOutline and EdgyTasks, and don't forget to add yourself to the contributors list in the "unofficial" svn repo12:01
pygimhz: there will also be printed translations on lulu12:01
mhzSome people (spanish speakers) have asked me if it is ok to start translating handbook chapters. I have said "let's wait till is done"12:01
pygimhz: they can translate edubuntu cookbook (dapper) if they want12:02
HedgeMageWe also need to get done on time for once to give translators time to do their magic12:02
HedgeMageCan we use this meeting time to hack out some kind of timeline or schedule?12:02
mhzyeah12:03
mhzHedgeMage: what kind of timeline you mean?12:05
mhzper chapter priorities?12:05
=== Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
HedgeMagemhz: a little of that and some general "first draft" "final draft" "proofreading" deadlines12:06
HedgeMageI work best under a deadline :)12:06
mhzme too!12:06
HedgeMageperhaps one of the mainline doc people can weigh in here with reasonable suggestions?12:06
=== FunnyLookinHat [n=funnyloo@167.246.8.60] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
