LaserJock | Burgwork: interesting | 01:13 |
Burgwork | shows the importance of a unified doc effort | 01:14 |
LaserJock | Burgwork: can you help with a quick wiki cleanup? | 01:15 |
LaserJock | or are you busy? | 01:15 |
Burgwork | which page? | 01:15 |
LaserJock | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenOnEdgy | 01:15 |
LaserJock | poor zul is just not a doc guy | 01:16 |
Burgwork | oh joy | 01:16 |
Burgwork | there is a bunch | 01:16 |
Burgwork | I will do a bunch of moving tonight | 01:16 |
LaserJock | well, he is the Xen packager, so I think the contents should be ok | 01:16 |
LaserJock | it's jut not very pretty | 01:16 |
crimsun | you probably want to check with him first [if those are his] before you rearrange stuff | 01:16 |
LaserJock | I did ;-) | 01:17 |
LaserJock | he asked for help | 01:17 |
crimsun | excellent. | 01:17 |
LaserJock | at least for that one page | 01:17 |

LaserJock | Burgwork: hmm, they manage to pack a lot of docs on that MySQL page | 01:23 |
Burgwork | utter whack --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnifiedUbuntuBranding | 01:34 |
LaserJock | hmm, certainly verbose | 01:38 |
Burgwork | it is also never going to happen | 01:41 |
nixternal | jeesh | 01:43 |
nixternal | so, im looking through screenshots right to link to on http://chi.ubuntu-us.org | 01:44 |
nixternal | and ubuntu and edubuntu has 2 sweet pages for screenshots | 01:44 |
nixternal | then there is kubuntu..they dont' even have their own screenshots, they link to other sites who slap their freakin' logos on the images, and 2 of the sites where the screenshots exist use flash to show them | 01:44 |
nixternal | that isn't good in my eyes..however, xubuntu isn't as bad, but i can't find any :) | 01:45 |
Burgwork | ah, yes | 01:45 |
Burgwork | the kde community is noticably bad about marketing | 01:45 |
nixternal | ;( | 01:46 |
Burgwork | it is systemic in their community | 01:46 |
Burgwork | see planet.kde vs planet gnome and number of screenshots | 01:46 |
nixternal | i love KDE, as i have used it forever, but what i have been seeing is getting worse and worse i think | 01:46 |
Madpilot | nixternal, switch to Gnome, you know you want to! ;) | 01:46 |
nixternal | gah | 01:46 |
nixternal | i would rather swallow razor blades ;) | 01:46 |
Burgwork | same feeling going the other way from me | 01:47 |
LaserJock | Burgwork: what do planets have to do with marketing? | 01:47 |
Burgwork | LaserJock, they are marketing to early adopters and developers | 01:47 |
LaserJock | k | 01:47 |
LaserJock | I just thought they were ranting's of developers, and not very interesting to the general population | 01:48 |
Burgwork | you must look at everything you produce as marketing | 01:48 |
Burgwork | even if only to think of adding a screenshot | 01:48 |
crimsun | nixternal: we don't necessary care about screenshots ;-) | 01:49 |
crimsun | necessarily ^ | 01:49 |
LaserJock | crimsun: everybody knows it rocks, right? | 01:49 |
nixternal | ya, but for advocational purposes they are nice to show | 01:49 |
crimsun | LaserJock: nope, and for those who don't, their loss ;-) | 01:49 |
Burgwork | kde people are all telepathic and beam new images of the new hotness into each others heads | 01:49 |
crimsun | [j/k of course] | 01:49 |
Burgwork | it is why they are all drolling anti-social geeks ;) | 01:50 |
crimsun | nixternal: certainly. You should shoot Gauvain and Jani an e-mail. | 01:50 |
crimsun | nixternal: or...raise it on the xubuntu-devel list. | 01:50 |
nixternal | ya, i just might do so, or i just might create them myself ;) | 01:50 |
Burgwork | something like /desktop can be stolen very easily | 01:50 |
Burgwork | nixternal, I can get you the raw source to that if you want, in moin format | 01:50 |
Burgwork | or you can get it yourself via ?action=raw | 01:51 |
nixternal | Burgwork: i agree, and i think that all 4 sites should be based the same, with their own flare...ubuntu.com and edubuntu.com look great...xubuntu.com looks good as well, just don't follow the flow..and kubuntu.org follows the flow, but looks like a really bad blog | 01:51 |
nixternal | i can read the text on kubuntu.org from 30 feet away ;) | 01:52 |
Burgwork | edubuntu is the best developed | 01:52 |
Burgwork | in terms of marketing, that is | 01:52 |
crimsun | Burgwork: well arguably it has the most difficult job | 01:52 |
crimsun | (and should have the best) | 01:52 |
crimsun | not that getting them all to some parity isn't a worthy objective | 01:53 |
Burgwork | I would argue it has the easiest time marketing and hardest time selling | 01:53 |
Burgwork | it already has a defined niche to sell to, it is just hard to close deals in that niche | 01:53 |
crimsun | Burgwork: right, s/job/time\ selling/ | 01:54 |
LaserJock | I was a little confused by the kubuntu and xubuntu sites | 01:55 |
Burgwork | ubuntu isn't much better about telling you what ubuntu is | 02:05 |
Burgwork | anyway, I need to go home | 02:05 |
LaserJock | cya | 02:05 |

nixternal | its getting there | 03:56 |
LaserJock | almost makes me wish I lived in Chicago.... almost | 03:56 |
nixternal | hehe | 03:56 |
nixternal | i have been hacking php and css all day long | 03:56 |
nixternal | and graphics | 03:56 |
nixternal | i need new ubuntu, kubuntu, and xubuntu logos, as they look blurry | 03:57 |
crimsun | being worked on | 03:57 |
nixternal | ? | 03:58 |
nixternal | ahh...it is constructed, now edited ;) | 03:58 |
jsgotangco | nice nice | 04:01 |
nixternal | it looks pretty close to ubuntu.com | 04:01 |
jsgotangco | hmm it does | 04:01 |
=== jsgotangco wonders if loco-olympics is a good idea | ||
nixternal | hehe | 04:02 |
nixternal | explain it to me? | 04:02 |
jsgotangco | im still thinking | 04:02 |
jsgotangco | hehe | 04:02 |
nixternal | sounds pretty cool | 04:03 |
jsgotangco | something to spur contribution | 04:03 |
jsgotangco | then get points | 04:04 |
jsgotangco | heh | 04:04 |
nixternal | that would be fun | 04:04 |
jsgotangco | yeah | 04:04 |
nixternal | who would win? | 04:04 |
jsgotangco | worth fleshing out? | 04:04 |
nixternal | who is your money on? | 04:04 |
jsgotangco | the brazilians | 04:04 |
jsgotangco | lol | 04:04 |
nixternal | hehe | 04:04 |
nixternal | ya, them and the aussies are pretty powerful | 04:04 |
jsgotangco | i think its a nice one | 04:04 |
LaserJock | bug karma? | 04:04 |
nixternal | that isn't fair if you do bug karma, i don't have elite members yet ;) | 04:05 |
nixternal | it would be me vs. everyone | 04:05 |
LaserJock | so | 04:05 |
nixternal | i guarantee my guys who are on the launchpad would see karma as a bad thing | 04:05 |
jsgotangco | i think there should be an agreed number of members per team to qualify | 04:05 |
jsgotangco | 10 at least | 04:05 |
nixternal | chicago is out | 04:05 |
nixternal | lol | 04:05 |
jsgotangco | lol | 04:05 |
jsgotangco | 5? | 04:06 |
nixternal | still out | 04:06 |
nixternal | 1 | 04:06 |
nixternal | ? | 04:06 |
jsgotangco | doh | 04:06 |
nixternal | haha | 04:06 |
LaserJock | what about the LoCo teams of one like me | 04:06 |
jsgotangco | uploaders are not allowed to enter | 04:06 |
nixternal | my team will advocate like you wouldn't believe | 04:06 |
LaserJock | if we put US together maybe | 04:06 |
jsgotangco | but only serve as team coach | 04:06 |
nixternal | but they aren't triagers or packagers just yet | 04:06 |
nixternal | us has a couple of strong teams | 04:06 |
jsgotangco | but dude this would be fun | 04:06 |
nixternal | colorado has a nice showing | 04:06 |
nixternal | it would be a blast | 04:06 |
jsgotangco | like fantasy football except its not fantasy | 04:07 |
LaserJock | dholbach would freak | 04:07 |
nixternal | i think there should be "Ubuntu LoCo Scavenger Hunts" | 04:07 |
nixternal | and your team makes video of the entire venture | 04:07 |
jsgotangco | we'll have divisions | 04:07 |
jsgotangco | hehe | 04:07 |
jsgotangco | the EU league | 04:07 |
nixternal | hehe | 04:07 |
jsgotangco | the NorthAm league | 04:08 |
nixternal | oooh...we got Canada!!! | 04:08 |
nixternal | Burgwork and Madpilot are on that team ;) | 04:08 |
Madpilot | huh? | 04:08 |
nixternal | i need to get in with the Mexico LoCo since I will be moving htere someday | 04:08 |
=== Madpilot reads some scrollback... | ||
jsgotangco | heh i will talk to dholbach later | 04:09 |
Madpilot | nixternal, there are good quality logos for all the versions available on wiki.ubuntu.com | 04:09 |
jsgotangco | im not sure who handles locoteams at the moment | 04:09 |
nixternal | that is where i got all of those | 04:11 |
nixternal | i did something with them | 04:11 |
nixternal | easy fix though | 04:11 |
nixternal | i have a master logo xcf that has every logo w/ name layered | 04:11 |
Madpilot | nixternal, really? There are good SVG versions, much easier to resize vector art in Inkscape than mess with bitmaps in the GIMP | 04:11 |
nixternal | ya, i should probably do that | 04:12 |

robitaille | Hi Burgundavia | 08:51 |
mdke | robitaille: how does one actually create an article on the fridge, out of interest? | 08:54 |
=== ompaul [n=ompaul@ubuntu/member/ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
robitaille | you login, then click on "contribute" on the left-hand side | 08:55 |
mdke | I don't have a "contribute" | 08:55 |
mdke | maybe that's intentional | 08:56 |
robitaille | you have entered your password? | 08:56 |
mdke | yes | 08:56 |
robitaille | you want to try now | 08:57 |
robitaille | I added you as "editor" | 08:57 |
mdke | yes, that works | 08:57 |
robitaille | then you click on "story" to write your article | 08:59 |
mdke | right, and "event" for adding a meeting? | 08:59 |
robitaille | yes | 08:59 |
mdke | very nice | 08:59 |
mdke | perhaps not adding me as editor was intentional though? | 09:00 |
robitaille | by the way, there was some discussion with the buntudot crowd earlier tonight, and it seems they will be a lot of near-future collaborations | 09:00 |
mdke | great | 09:00 |
mdke | is there a formal team? | 09:00 |
robitaille | I'm not sure what jorge had in mind, but not being able to edit makes your access to the site pretty much useless | 09:01 |
robitaille | fridge team? | 09:01 |
mdke | something like that | 09:01 |
robitaille | I guess whoever is on the mailing list is the team | 09:01 |
mdke | it would probably be a good idea if lots of people are going to start helping out. And some guidelines for how to join, etc | 09:02 |
robitaille | totally agree. I suspect we'll start sorting all this shortly. All this is very sudden | 09:02 |
robitaille | you're getting the mailing list emails? | 09:03 |
mdke | actually no, I put it as vacation | 09:04 |
mdke | but I can read the archive | 09:04 |
mdke | my email isn't set up well right now for mailing lists, I am using a newsreader for all the lists | 09:04 |
robitaille | you should read the email from imbrandon from a couple of hours ago | 09:04 |
mdke | ok | 09:04 |
robitaille | it is the log of an informal irc meeting they did earlier today | 09:05 |
mdke | great, I see it | 09:05 |
mdke | lot of spam on that list :/ | 09:06 |
robitaille | oh yes. Because anyone can post to it so that we can received people suggestions for articles | 09:06 |
mdke | right | 09:06 |
robitaille | spamasssin actually filter some of them out | 09:07 |

mdke | that html trick of yours with the image doesn't work on planet ubuntu | 10:30 |
mpt | The easy method? | 10:30 |
mdke | right | 10:30 |
mpt | so Planet must strip all style= attributes | 10:30 |
mpt | in which case the only solution is to put the <img> in a <p> by itself | 10:31 |
mdke | is there a brute force method? | 10:31 |
mpt | which is semantically incorrect, but will work | 10:31 |

mpt | mdke, dude, that's because you've got the align="right" in there | 11:52 |

ompaul | s/let/set | 03:41 |
jjesse | share w/ all | 03:41 |
ompaul | when vpn issues and the likes are being spoken about the keys and the x509 cert details should be written up large before the actual configuration of the vpn - it might seem obvious but they tend to be buried well away from actual configurations | 03:43 |
ompaul | if that is not enough data then I will stick something on the mailing list later | 03:43 |
ompaul | just say so | 03:43 |
ompaul | this is because the certs / keys info is needed to do the config - so rather than branching or doing it later it should be done first with a little explaination and a branch to help choose cert / key that is all - two ugly routers and an ip sec lan | 03:46 |

nixternal | anyone else here on the Fridge mailing list? how come all the spam? | 06:12 |
mdke | nixternal: all mailing lists get spam, it's just that the fridge mailing list doesn't have moderation so that people can post ideas without being subscribed | 06:12 |
nixternal | arg, that is horrible | 06:13 |
mdke | tha's life | 06:15 |
nixternal | it always is ;) | 06:16 |
nixternal | im listening to this "switchers" podcast..pretty entertaining | 06:16 |
nixternal | he pronounce SuSe sooose, and now Soo-Sah | 06:17 |
mdke | suzy | 06:22 |

nixternal | i always called it suzy as well, but I heard the CEO at the time (2000) at Comdex during a keynote, say Soo-Sah, and it was in his presentation...maybe it is the way the Germans say it | 06:37 |
Kamping_Kaiser | if they do, i'm supprised | 06:39 |
Kamping_Kaiser | i say soos (in my pronunciation... hope your is similar ;)) | 06:39 |
nixternal | i had an old SuSe Linux box and seen the /Soo-Sah/ pronunciation on it, then again I am talking back in the 90's | 06:41 |
nixternal | The company has been known to pronounce it as "zu-zuh". | 06:42 |
nixternal | that is it, not soo-sah...i was close ;) | 06:42 |
Kamping_Kaiser | hehe | 06:42 |
nixternal | it is us english speakers to changed it to sound like "suzie" a girls name, "soose" which means sweet in german...we are crazy like that | 06:45 |
nixternal | the same goes for Ubuntu though | 06:45 |
nixternal | i have heard it pronounced "Uh-Bunt-ooo", "ooo-boon-too" and such | 06:45 |
Kamping_Kaiser | or You-Bun-too | 06:48 |
Kamping_Kaiser | "ooo-boon-too" is actiualy correct | 06:48 |
nixternal | oh ya, forgot about that one as well | 06:49 |
Burgwork | there are too many matthews involved in the ubuntu documentation | 07:34 |
nixternal | lol | 07:34 |
Burgwork | mdke, mpt one of you has to change your name | 07:34 |
nixternal | they are taking over the ubuntu world | 07:35 |
jjesse | i thought it was a rule that you had to change your name to matthew to work in documentation | 07:35 |
Burgwork | I hope not | 07:35 |
Burgwork | jjesse, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=jonathan+jesse&spell=1 <-- prentice has some serious google juice | 07:36 |
Burgwork | wow, being an author really changed how google looks at me | 07:38 |
Burgwork | http://www.usu.edu/research/programs/staffdetail.cfm?ID=6 <-- although I feel sorry for this bastard (which is not me) | 07:40 |
jjesse | yeah i noticed that the other day | 07:42 |
jjesse | launchpad is the third link | 07:42 |
jjesse | so that's nice | 07:42 |

Burgwork | neoxan, I suggest you stop following Seveas around. He is finding it annoying | 09:34 |
neoxan | Burgwork, im not following him around, im just wondering why he calls me an asshole and a loser | 09:34 |
Burgwork | neoxan, I see you trying to reach him on three different channels now. Channels you join and then ask him | 09:35 |
neoxan | yes | 09:36 |
neoxan | because in query i get awnsers like | 09:36 |
Burgwork | as for whether or not he said anything to you, that is totally immaterial to what you are doing | 09:36 |
neoxan | <Seveas> well, this is what you get for being such a pathetic loser | 09:36 |
neoxan | <Seveas> i kick you because you're a pathetic abusive loser | 09:36 |
mdke | right. stop this in here | 09:36 |
Seveas | neoxan, and I stand by that classification, also because you keep stalking | 09:36 |
neoxan | and i can go where i want to go | 09:36 |
mdke | you can talk about documentation, otherwise take it in private | 09:36 |
