mptglatzor, which union?09:52
glatzormpt: the one that fights for your rights!09:53
MadpilotInternational Brotherhood of Nominal Ubuntu-docteam Members Who Aren't Doing Much Docteam Work? That's my current union09:53
mptglatzor, I thought they all did that09:54
=== glatzor is a proud member of the Verdi union, since they increased his vacations from 20 to 28 days a year!
mptah09:54
MadpilotI should be more polite about unions, I'm still on the executive of our local of CUPE :)09:55
glatzormpt: No, not here in Germany. There are some quite strange unions here around. Especially the Christian ones.09:55
MadpilotChristian unions? wha?09:55
mptglatzor, I couldn't tell whether it was a serious political exhortation, or some sort of movie reference :-)09:56

nixternalhahah06:46
nixternalwe need one of those too06:46
nixternalKubuntu Softball Team06:46

jsgotangcoBurgwork: i need your opinion on this statement06:48
Burgworkjsgotangco, shoot06:49
jsgotangcoSECTION 8. Right to Derivatives and the Control and Modification of Software 06:49
jsgotangcoGovernment shall obtain full rights and control over derivatives, modifications and06:49
jsgotangcocustomizations done by government on software that it uses and adopts, provided that06:49
jsgotangcogovernment does not use said modified software nor its derivatives for commercial purposes. 06:49
jsgotangcodo i hear you laughing so hard now06:51
Burgworkis that from that new bill for OSS in your country?06:51
jsgotangcoyeah06:51
jsgotangcodoesn't make any sense huh06:52
BurgworkI read that as the gov't owns you06:52
jsgotangcoyep06:52
Burgworkand now they own your code too06:52
jsgotangcoyep06:52
jjessei read that as wow06:52
jsgotangcocompletely against section 5 of GPLv206:52
Burgworklawmakers really don't get open source, even when they try06:52
jsgotangcoso i said screw you im not supporting your bill06:52
nixternalhow can the government not use it for something other than "commercial purposes"...we all knwo they are about money and commercialising ;)06:53
jsgotangcoi told them use PD or else the world will have you as the new FOSS laughing stock06:53
jsgotangcoonly because of that dumb section 8 of the draft06:53
Burgworkyes, PD is best06:53
jsgotangcoyou want the final draft of the bill?06:53
Burgworkit is, after all, being produced with the "people's money"06:53
Burgworksure, email it to me06:54
jsgotangcoeverything is fine except section 8 which says "all your base are belong to us"06:54
nixternalhahaha06:54
jsgotangcoBurgwork: i've forwarded it to you, feel free to pass it to anyone interested06:56
jsgotangcoim not really happy that the primary reasons for the bill is "cost"06:57
Burgworkhmm06:57
jsgotangcoit makes some sense to have it amend the existing patent law06:58
jjessehello LaserJock06:59

LaserJockis it in the doc team repo?07:52
philbullyep07:52
philbulljust one last patch before DSF07:53
philbullhttps://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk/ubuntu/switching/C/07:55
Burgworklast thing we need is a change to the make file to buidl it07:56

trappistdocteam.ubuntu.com doesn't get a legit cert?07:58
jjessenow we need to tweak for kubuntu for edgy +1 maybe07:58
philbull:)07:58
philbullwe're frozen for Knot 3 now, aren't we?08:00
jjessebtw you've done a great job philbull08:00
philbullthanks jjesse, couldnt have done it without you + nixternal08:00
Burgworkphilbull, pretty much08:00
jjessephilbull: the docs aren't going itno the knots that i am aware of08:00
jjesseso you can commit08:01
philbullbut what needs to be modified to get SFW to build?08:01
philbullas Burgwork said, is it a nasty makefile job?08:01
jjessejust a make file change08:02
jjesselocated at trunk/ubuntu/makefile if i recall correctly08:02
jjessecreate something to build sfw and then change the make all command to include SFW08:03
philbullhttps://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk/ubuntu/Makefile08:03
philbullhow do docs get built?08:03
LaserJockfor what?08:04
jjessefrom the make file 08:04
LaserJockfor the packages it's in debian/08:04
jjessealong w/ the stylesheets and html they get packaged into a ubuntu-docs packages08:04
philbullsay we copy the makefile bits for the server guide...08:04
philbull...can we just replace 'SERVER' with 'SFW'?08:05
trappistthe kubuntu release notes say that gdm only allows shutdown/restart without logging out first if you use gnome, and that kdm only allows it with kde.  That doesn't seem to be the case.  I have logout/shutdown options in kde though I'm using gdm.  can anyone confirm?08:06
jjessehold on virtual machines restarting08:08
LaserJocktrappist: I think so08:10
trappistLaserJock: you think so it's wrong?08:13
jjessei have in order "End Current Session" "Turn off Computer", "Restart Computer", "Hibernate" in edgy08:14
trappistdo they work?08:17
jjesseyes they do08:18
trappistawesome, thanks08:20
jjesseare you going to change the doc then?08:20
trappistthat was the plan - did I miss a freeze?08:21
jjessenope08:21
jjessedoc freeze is gcomming08:21
trappistgood deal08:21
trappistwho is james troup and where can I get his gpg pubkey?  I'm on a new machine and my svn password is no longer cached, and I'm not on the same box where I imported the key to begin with (so I can access my password in email)08:28
Burgworkhmm08:28
Burgworkyou know your svn password is stored in plaintext on that old machine08:28
Burgworkyou can simply copy the config into08:28
jjessewhere is it stored?  in the .svn some place?08:28
trappistwell the new machine is pretty well history :)08:29
Burgworksomewhere in the home dir08:29
Burgworkdid you lose your key as well?08:29
trappistI should be able to look at the keychain on my other box and find it there...08:29
jjessegrin that's the problem i'm having w/ my svn as well08:29
Burgworktake your private key, export it and burn it onto a cd and hide it in your cd collection08:29
LaserJockmhm08:30
trappistI've got my private key well cared for08:30
LaserJockand don't leave it in the back window of you car on a hot day ;-)08:30
trappistjust have to find james' pubkey08:30
Burgworklook on lp08:30
trappistgood call08:31
trappistdoesn't seem to be there08:32
trappistok got it08:36
jjessewhere did you get it from/08:36
trappistapparently I already had it, and kmail was just sucking.  worked fine on the command line.08:37
trappistor, I didn't need it to begin with08:37

jjesseubuntu was any work done on kubuntu side of things?09:56
nixternalim guessing ubuntu, as the kubuntu side is rather naked ;)09:56
nixternalheh, we have talked about it..i had no clue though until recently that we were doing an Ubuntu version and a Kubuntu version09:56
jjessewell we will have to do one eventually09:57
jjessebut probablly for edgy +109:57
