Madpilotso, does this whole "Iceweasel" stupidity mean that someone has to go thru our docs for Edgy with "s/Firefox/Iceweasel"?08:58
mdke_what is the outcome of that?09:01
mdke_they're changing the name?09:01
MadpilotDebian is, because MozCorp is being shirty about their trademarsk09:01
Madpilottrademarks, even09:01
mdke_and is Ubuntu going to too?09:02

mdke_what did mdz say about it?09:03
poningruuh...09:03

poningruhold on09:04
poningruwe are not changing the name btw09:04
poningrulooking for the log09:04
poningruhold on09:04
=== Madpilot is of the opinion that "WeRipOffOpera" is a better name for Firefox, anyway ;)
poningruouch09:05
mdke_is mdz leaving btw? I saw a job advert which disturbed me09:05
poningruarr?09:05
poningruOct 05 03:14:11 <iwj> mdz: So just to be clear, I should arrange for it to be called `firefox' unless I hear from you otherwise ?09:06
mdke_http://www.ubuntu.com/employment#head-0d9f9070bb7c0217fde8142f9d5aed03f3e7555409:06
poningruwtf09:07
Burgundaviahmm09:08
Burgundaviainteresting09:08
BurgundaviaI don't think that is a replacement for mdz09:09
Burgundaviaremember, mdz is CTO09:09
poningruhmm true09:09
poningruperhaps he will move toward more managerial, than hands on?09:09
mdke_yes, that sounds exactly right09:10
poningrucan someone from the doc team ask mdz regarding the firefox issue?09:11
Burgundaviathat might even be someone to work under mdz09:11
mdke_poningru: yes, we can do that09:11
poningrunn all /me goes off to sleep09:12
BurgundaviaI need to sleep as well09:12
Burgundaviamdke_: I seriously doubt if Ubuntu will change the name09:13
Burgundaviahowever, we might have to ship the official logo09:13
mdke_Burgundavia: I agree that it would be odd09:13
mdke_I'm not going to worry about it09:13
=== mdke_ is pretty screwed with the translations atm
Burgundaviawell, the doc team pretty much dropped the ball with this release09:14
Burgundaviaright after being praised by Mark so heavily09:14
mdke_we'll just have to make sure the next one is really good09:15
Burgundaviayep09:15
BurgundaviaI love Mako last night: "Dapper wasn't dapper and Edgy isn't edgy"09:15

mdkenixternal: around?09:41
nixternalya09:41
mdkenixternal: got a moment to talk through some translation stuff?09:41
nixternalsure09:42
mdkeok. Things are a bit complicated09:42
mdkewe made a small change to the toolchain, which has really mucked stuff up09:42
nixternali kind of seen you laughing at yourself last night about it09:43
mdkefortunately, Danilo has written us a script which fixes the problem, but it needs to be included in the translate.sh script09:43
mdkebrb, phone09:43
nixternalk09:43
mdkeok. So I've tested the script so far on about-ubuntu, and I think we should give it a bit more testing on more complicated docs09:45
nixternali can grab some of the kubuntu or xubuntu translations, and try it out on a desktop guide09:46
mdkeI've put it in teamstuff/replace-whatever-its-name-is.py09:46
mdkeif you fancy trying it, that would be cool. Let's take it easy, no immediate rush, and we will get it right09:46
nixternalwithout a doubt09:47
mdkeyou can see its use in ubuntu/aboutubuntu/translate.sh, the key is that you need a line like that for each xml file 09:47
mdkeI'll test it on the ubuntu desktopguide and you have a go with kubuntu desk, and we'll compare notes and see if stuff works09:47
nixternalok..i just grabbed the recent svn updates you did...i will look that over09:47
nixternalahh 'teamstuff/replace-doctype-with.py09:48
nixternali see it09:48
mdkenixternal: I will try and do some more testing tomorrow, I need to do some other stuff too so I'll get back to you :) thanks a lot for helping09:55
nixternalno problem, have fun!09:55
nixternal;)09:55
nixternalmdke: no hurry or nothing, but with the Edubuntu Handbook, would it be ok to add the handbook into the structure?  right now the current handbook doesn't build as it is rather unstructured, but I am working on that..10:35
mdkenixternal: which structure? into the repo?10:35
nixternalwhat i could do as it is worked on in their repo, move it into ours, and work on getting it to validate and build correctly..event ually10:35
nixternaloh you are here ;)10:35
nixternalwell, their current structure isn't there..they are just building docbook files10:35
nixternali am trying to set their svn up to mimic ours, so if it gets moved over, there will be minimal work on our part10:36
nixternali recently provided a little structure on their svn server...getting their stuff to validate is giong to be a task right now since it is rather juvenile10:36
=== LaserJock [n=mantha@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #ubuntu-doc
LaserJocknixternal: fine, I'm here :p10:38
nixternalhehe10:38
mdkedo they want it to be in ours?10:38
nixternaleventually, yes10:38
nixternalI think it belongs in a more stable repo myself, as you never know what may happen with HedgeMages domain or what not10:39
LaserJockwell10:39
LaserJockthe Edubuntu doc people need to get with it and get there stuff in the doc team repo10:40
LaserJockthis is making me tired and cranky10:40
LaserJockthere's no reason the edubuntu/ dir should not be used10:41
nixternalsorry for dragging you in this LaserJock10:41
LaserJockhehe10:41
LaserJocknp10:41
LaserJockit needs to be done10:41
nixternalbut you are more Edubuntu then I am10:41
nixternalI just want to help them get everything situatied and rocking10:42
LaserJockunfortunately jerome and I have had lots going on10:42
LaserJockyes, please do10:42
LaserJockget it to were it can go into our repo10:42
nixternalthat is why i have stepped up since i have a little more time available as well10:42
nixternalok, i will continue doing what I am doing then10:42
LaserJockand then commit it10:42
LaserJockjust put it in10:42
nixternaland when it is ready for our repo, then i will go forward as long as the ok is there from mdke10:42
LaserJockyou can harm anything by putting docs into edubuntu/10:42
LaserJock*can't10:43
nixternalim sure i can harm something ;)10:43
mdkeif they are keen to work with us, sounds good10:45
mdkewe should be able to help with validation and building after it is in there10:46
LaserJockyeah, I'd rather them put stuff in the repo, even if it isn't complete10:46
LaserJockthen more people can have a look10:46
=== ompaul [n=ompaul@ubuntu/member/ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-doc
nixternalso move into the ubuntu doc repo now and validate later then?10:47
LaserJockI would like that10:48
nixternalwith that, then we will need to setup svn accounts for 1 or 2 of them10:48
LaserJockI've not even seen the docs10:48
nixternalLTSP is the only thing with some meat to it that I can see right now10:48
LaserJockwell, we can start by manually updating or sending patches10:48
nixternalthey are all still .xml.old as they haven't been converted from Cookbook to Handbook10:48
LaserJockI'd just like to see *something*10:48
nixternalI will run that across pygi and hedge then10:48
nixternalor you can if you can persuade them ;)10:48
=== jjesse [i=user@69-87-140-112.async.iserv.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkenixternal: we'll need to see some of their work before adding commit accounts10:51
nixternalhehe10:51
nixternali can link you to their svn if you want to look10:51
jjessehiya nixternal10:52
nixternalthe .xml is all them so far...10:52
nixternalhiya jjesse, didn't even see you pop in10:52
mdkeok, but you say the xml is a bit dodgy?10:52
jjessejust did 10:52
nixternalright now it is10:52
mdkewhy aren't they writing it in a wiki?10:52
nixternalthey started the cookbook on the wiki...and then they changed from the cookbook to the handbook..that is my understanding10:52
nixternali have only recently jumped in over there since jerome and jordan are so busy10:53
jjesseis that edubuntu10:53
nixternalya10:53
LaserJockthey went from wiki to docbook before the wiki->docbook converter was working10:53
nixternalthere you go ;)10:53
mdkeoh well10:54
nixternalright now they have a bunch of .xml.old files which are xml, but from the cookbook that haven't been converted or worked on yet, and need to be done10:54
nixternalmdke: i have hacked their svn a little bit to start picking up structure, but you can see what i mean by content - handbook/C/ of course - http://svn.binaryredneck.net/handbook10:56
nixternali think it will be easier if i just add the handbook to the edubuntu/ folder, and then hack the xml code to fit our structure10:57
mdkemake sure they are all happy with that10:58
LaserJockdo they seriously only have 23 revisions?10:59
nixternalhehe11:00
nixternali don't think they have been working on it much11:00
LaserJockthey must be working in larger chunks too11:00
LaserJockwell, I wasn't trying to be mean or snotty11:00
nixternali grabbed the repo 2 weeks ago, and did svn up last night, and didn't get one new revision11:00
nixternalwell, if they read their rules, it says not to ;)11:00
nixternalhehe11:00
LaserJockI was just thinking if they aren't committing that often then sending a patch to me or you will be pretty easy11:01
nixternalvery true11:01
LaserJockI was thinking if they were doing a commit or 2 each day it might be tough11:01
nixternalim glad you picked up on that11:01
nixternalthat will only sell the fact they don't need commit access just yet11:01
nixternalplus, doing it that way, is the way i learned stuff around here as well11:01
LaserJockwell, HedgeMage at least seems to know what she's doing11:02
LaserJockI doubt it'll be hard for them to become members11:02
nixternalwell, she said she is just not learning docbook11:02
nixternalnot/now11:02
nixternalbut she has the svn and working what not down it seems11:03
LaserJockbut they certainly aren't going to become members if they are working on that seperate repo11:03
nixternalshe created the branch at least11:03
nixternalhehe, speaking of members ;)11:03
nixternalman..i have this spray thing in this room and it stinks..it doesn't smell good11:03
nixternalit sprays like every 45 minutes...it is starting to remind me of a skunk11:04
