| jeanvial | i thing tha i will use Xchat | 03:19 |
| tonyyarusso | andrew: Heck yes. My main reason for picking it up was that X crashed and burned on me and I needed to get my desktop back. Never went back. | 03:20 |
| tonyyarusso | jeanvial: Sounds like a plan. | 03:20 |
| jeanvial | but i whant know how can i contect with gaim | 03:20 |
| jeanvial | yes becuase if i can`t conet with gaim then i will use Xchat in the openweek | 03:21 |
| andrew | tonyyarusso: my main reason for using irssi is because i can connect to my screen session from anywhere on campus, or beyond whenever i wish, and i can see what i missed when my laptop is off | 03:21 |
| jeanvial | sorry for my English im Mexican | 03:23 |
| tonyyarusso | jeanvial: Basics for Gaim in case you want it, just use the "Add Account" interface like you would for other things, select "IRC" as the protocol. The server is irc.freenode.net, pick your nick, and from there it's pretty straightforward. You can probably set your auto-join channels too, but I'm not sure where that option is. | 03:23 |

| dholbach | This session is about MOTU, the Masters of the Universe. | 04:01 |
| dholbach | My name is Daniel Holbach, I work for Canonical and my main objectives are Ubuntu's Desktop and working with teams like MOTU, Telepathy, Accessibility, the Art team and others. I joined the MOTUs nearly two years ago and we were around 5 of them at that time. | 04:01 |
| ypsila | ok then | 04:01 |
| === eggman [n=rafael@200-206-163-39.dsl.telesp.net.br] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | The name originates from the Universe component, which holds the biggest amount of our packages. 'main' and 'restricted' are supported by Canonical, 'universe' and 'multiverse' by the community. 'main' and 'restricted' hold 4829 packages today and 'universe' plus 'multiverse' 15855. So as the name suggests, the MOTU team takes care of 'universe' (and 'multiverse' also). We currently have 57 members. And we hang out in #ubuntu-motu | 04:01 |

| n3t0 | eggman, \o/ | 04:02 |
| dholbach | What do MOTUs generally do? | 04:02 |
| dholbach | As a MOTU you're maintaining packages. Since we don't follow the concept of applying the rigorous big maintainer lock, it's your choice which package you take care of. | 04:02 |
| dholbach | We have people | 04:02 |
| dholbach | * taking care only of their own packages | 04:03 |
| dholbach | * working together with others on a set of packages in a team | 04:03 |

| dholbach | So how do I become a MOTU? | 04:03 |
| === ryu [n=chris@unaffiliated/ryu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === xhaker [n=xkr@84.90.226.160] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | That's very easy. You basically contribute to the team's efforts, either by packaging a new piece of software or by helping with fixing / updating / merging existing packages. | 04:04 |
| eggman | n3t0, hi ! | 04:04 |
| dholbach | I personally always found the second way to be much easier and you learn a lot along the way. As a MOTU hopeful you're not allowed yet to upload to the archive yourself, but you can ask other team members to sponsor the upload for you. We have a lightweight process for that in place. | 04:04 |
| === Cyril_ [n=Cyril@ARennes-356-1-85-151.w86-220.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | After a while, when you've become more comfortable with packaging, the processes and you've worked with a couple of people, you will hear that people are tired of uploading your packages and you should be able to do so yourself. :-) | 04:04 |

| dholbach | popey: the source of your package will be checked by MOTUs and by our Archive Admins, apart from license questions there are other things to consider as well, but we're generally open for good quality open source software. | 04:08 |
| dholbach | <PriceChild> QUESTION: How many packages/how long does it normally take before you're considered "adept" | 04:08 |
| === thiebaude [n=thiebaud@68-119-176-236.dhcp.snfr.nc.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| dholbach | popey: we have the process for sponsoring described on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/FAQ | 04:11 |
| popey | thansk | 04:11 |
| dholbach | but yeah, if you know somebody already, even better. :-) | 04:11 |

| dholbach | It's easy to see that it's not just a matter of technically abilty, but also a matter of teamwork and trust. The current process asks you to become an Ubuntu member in the Community Council meeting (where you are recognized for your efforts) and become a member of 'ubuntu-dev' after the Technical Board was happy with you on a technical basis. That process will change in the near future and a MOTU council (let's see if it will be called | 04:12 |
| dholbach | 'Council Grayskull' in the end...), which will do the approval. | 04:12 |
| jono | woo! | 04:12 |
| dholbach | Things the team does: | 04:12 |
| dholbach | We work on Bugs, just to put some numbers into the discussion: | 04:12 |
| === rasman [n=rasmusse@rrcs-67-52-254-234.west.biz.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | * 10563 bugs in Universe/Multiverse (66274 in Ubuntu total) | 04:12 |
| dholbach | * 6739 closed bugs Universe/Multiverse (46063 closed in Ubuntu total) | 04:12 |
| === tzwen [n=tzwen@pD9E15F7F.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | While the numbers look scary, here's a very good thing about working with the MOTUs: you're not alone. If you try to fix a bug in a package you have: | 04:13 |
| dholbach | 1) team members, | 04:13 |
| === xch [n=chr@p549BCDD4.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | 2) the Debian maintainer and | 04:13 |
| dholbach | 3) the upstream author | 04:13 |
| dholbach | you can ask and work with. Working on bugs is highly rewarding: sometimes it's a one line fix, you find in the upstream CVS already and you make a lot of users happy. | 04:13 |
| === leonel [n=leonel@189.155.89.77] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | Teams | 04:13 |
| dholbach | MOTU has formed a huge bunch of subteams already: | 04:14 |
| dholbach | * Games team | 04:14 |
| dholbach | * Media team | 04:14 |
| dholbach | * Science team | 04:14 |
| dholbach | * Photo team | 04:14 |
| === fathead [n=fathead@82-35-170-62.cable.ubr01.craw.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | * UncommonProgrammingLanguages team | 04:14 |
| dholbach | and a lot of other teams, which started in Universe, but now are working across the whole distro, the Mono team is a good example for that. If you have good ideas for a team and want to kickstart it, let me know: dholbach@ubuntu.com | 04:14 |
| dholbach | jono will be able to help out as well. | 04:14 |
| === xhaker [n=xkr@84.90.226.160] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | indeed | 04:15 |
| dholbach | Transitions! That's usually an easy way to get involved. | 04:15 |
| n3t0 | eggman, im here | 04:15 |
| dholbach | In order to use a new technology consistently across the whole archive, we sometimes need to change several hundreds of packages. This is gratifying work also, as it's sometimes easy to do and nice to do this within a team. Good examples of this were: | 04:15 |
| dholbach | * the switch from python2.3 to python2.4 (as a default) | 04:15 |
| dholbach | * the use of gcc4 | 04:15 |
| dholbach | * the transition to use Xorg | 04:15 |
| dholbach | * ... | 04:16 |
| === geddes is now known as geddes_ | ||
| dholbach | We used to have H U G E working lists on the wiki, nowadays we often use Malone to keep track of these. | 04:16 |
| dholbach | Get new packages in! | 04:16 |
| === Arby [n=richard@82.153.99.198] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | Ubuntu has become a great place for users. Lots of software is packaged already, but your personal pet project might be missing still. This also is a gratifying task, as you make many users happy by providing high-quality software in the archive. | 04:16 |
| dholbach | All NEW packages go through a review process, which currently happens on http://revu.tauware.de - this might change in the near future. Reviewing is a great way to mentor, but also to learn, which leads us to our next point. | 04:16 |

| dholbach | but as I said before, I always found it easy to check existing packages to learn from them | 04:18 |
| dholbach | <popey> QUESTION: ok, flipside, is there anything you are *not* interested in seeing packaged? | 04:18 |
| dholbach | popey: as long as it serves a purpose, makes users happy and doesn't freak out the archive-admins, ... :-) | 04:19 |

| === Cage [n=clemens@p57A1DEB3.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | for example :) | 04:19 |
| dholbach | <popey> QUESTION: Is the process different if I am packaging something of my own creation, compared with a tarball that I find online that isn't currently packaged? | 04:19 |
| === tux69 [n=hendrik@p57BBC21F.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | popey: I shouldn't think so, but in the case where you wrote the software, you'd have a good relationship to the upstream developer already... which is good. ;-) | 04:20 |
| popey | :) | 04:20 |
| dholbach | <rikai> QUESTION: Always been a curiosity of mine, and i cant think of any better time to ask, so... Is MOTU supposed to be a play off of He-Man? | 04:20 |
| dholbach | rikai: you should ask ogra, as far as I know, it was HIS idea :) | 04:20 |
| dholbach | <Cas> QUESTION: Should you ask (permission) before you start packaging something if it will be included or can you just find some new software and start packaging | 04:20 |
| === Panzerboy [n=stelian@unaffiliated/panzerboy] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | Cas: we keep track of what we package on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UniverseCandidates - so it's good to check that | 04:20 |

| === CyberKahn [n=CyberKah@63.78.226.4] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | Cas: in addition to that, it's good to check the debian bug tracker for ITP (intent to package) or RFP (request for package) requests, as this way you have people you can work with on the packaging | 04:21 |
| === RichiH [i=richih@freenode/staff/richih] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| dholbach | Cas: apart from that: just do it! :-) | 04:21 |
| dholbach | <Jucato> QUESTION: is Hobbsee really the Queen of the Universe (QOTU) | 04:21 |
| Cas | :) | 04:21 |
| dholbach | Jucato: I think that should be "Mistress of the Universe" | 04:22 |
| dholbach | but I'm not sure... :-) | 04:22 |
| Jucato | hehe | 04:22 |
| dholbach | I think I'll take on some more questions later | 04:22 |
| Hobbsee | dholbach: no, queen. i dont like the title of mistress. | 04:22 |
| dholbach | I see :-) | 04:22 |
| dholbach | Mentoring | 04:22 |
| dholbach | We're doing huge efforts at helping people get up to scratch on packaging, especially #ubuntu-motu on irc.freenode.net is always buzzing and somebody is always awake to answer *your* packaging question. | 04:23 |
| === tideline [n=tideline@208.62.120.116] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | But mentoring also happens on our ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com mailing list, in private chats, by doing reviews of packages and patches or via mail. Don't hesitate to approach us, join the Master of the Universe today! :-) | 04:23 |

| dholbach | In the beginning of each release cycle we merge our efforts with those of the Debian maintainers. So this is what we currently do for Feisty. If you want to help out, just grab a merge from http://merges.ubuntu.com/universe.html or http://merges.ubuntu.com/multiverse.html and go ahead. | 04:23 |

MOTU is a community effort and has grown into all sorts of directions over time, the wiki pages bear witness of that, so it'd be great if you'd fix whatever documentation you found inaccurate. | 04:25 |

| dholbach | <atoponce> QUESTION: ubuntu freezes from debian just before release. if i package a more recent version of software, will it get included in the current release, or saved for the next release? how is that handled? | 04:26 |
| dholbach | atoponce: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - this is our current release schedule | 04:27 |
| === rulus [n=roel@d54C0B472.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | we'll stop importing automatically from Debian on December 21st and have UniverseFreeze on March 15th (although that's not on the schedule) - I'll fix that later on | 04:28 |
| dholbach | <leonel> QUESTION: is there a Java Team working on the OpenJDK inclusion in Ubuntu ? | 04:28 |
| dholbach | leonel: we have a java team and doko is our most prominent java expert - you should ask them what their java plans are | 04:28 |
| dholbach | I don't know. Sorry. | 04:28 |
| dholbach | <vyoman> QUESTION how many hours a week (contributing) is the minimum to be useful? (2 hours, 1 day,...) | 04:29 |

| dholbach | <jrib> QUESTION: what are some existing packages that would be good examples to look at? Something not too complicated and well-packaged | 04:30 |
| === soodp [n=soodp@203.145.159.42] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| dholbach | jrib: we have a wiki page with some example packages for that - I'll find out for you where it is | 04:31 |
| === mhterres [n=marcelo@200.213.40.10] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | jrib: also the packaging guide ( https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html ) might have something | 04:31 |
| dholbach | <SimonAnibal> QUESTION: If there's a package that's already in the Ubuntu repository, but which has not been updated in a long time so that the current version is a couple of years newer than the one in the Ubuntu repository, would there be a way to get involved there, and work with the package's upstream to make sure we have the latest version in the Ubuntu repositories? | 04:31 |
| SimonAnibal | dholbach: I should mention I have no real programming experience | 04:32 |
| dholbach | SimonAnibal: absolutely, if you update a package (and it's not already UpstreamVersionFreeze), then that's cool | 04:32 |
| dholbach | SimonAnibal: especially if you are able to track the new incoming bugs and liaise with upstream | 04:32 |
| dholbach | that's a great contribution | 04:32 |
| dholbach | <xerxas> QUESTION: merging with debian is from sid/unstable ? | 04:33 |
| dholbach | xerxas: yes, in most cases it's unstable, but in some the maintainer chooses to merge with experimental - seb128 and I do that in the Desktop Team with GNOME every now and then | 04:33 |
| === andresmujica [n=andresmu@201.244.196.229] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | but mostly Debian 'unstable' yes. | 04:33 |

| dholbach | <popey> QUESTION: Do MOTUs get invited to UDS? :) | 04:33 |

| dholbach | tryggvib: having uploaded packages with faulty licenses already, I can say that the archive-admins do a VERY good job of checking them :-) | 04:34 |

| === mruiz [n=mruiz@200.113.173.157] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | we had a different take on the free-ness of certain parts than Debian did, documents were an example of that, but yes | 04:36 |
| dholbach | <tryggvib> QUESTION: If a MOTU has been inactive for a while, is it possible to take over his/hers work without their approval? | 04:36 |
| dholbach | tryggvib: very good question | 04:36 |
| dholbach | maybe I wasn't clear enough before | 04:36 |
| dholbach | We don't have the BML, the Big Maintainer Lock :) | 04:36 |
| === Tracnar [n=Tracnar@173.7-65-87.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | so if you intend to fix a package, just do it | 04:36 |
| dholbach | of course it's better to ask the current maintainer or the team that takes care of that package | 04:37 |
| === Lesley [n=Lesley@dsl-241-24-137.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | we respect areas of expertise, but we generally take care of all packages as a team | 04:37 |
| === Sikavica [n=andon_si@82.114.78.10] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | and talking to each other is a key skill everybody should have and develop as a MOTU hopeful | 04:38 |
| dholbach | <rikai> QUESTION: What skills are recommended to be a productive member of the MOTU team? (Both in relation to technical skills, and interpersonal skills) In other words, what qualities are looked for in potential MOTUers? | 04:38 |
| dholbach | rikai: curiosity, motivation are important and a good sense of what's going on | 04:39 |
| dholbach | if you change a certain package you should be aware of the implications for others | 04:39 |
| dholbach | if you're good at teamwork and organisation that's great too | 04:40 |
| dholbach | I hope I was not too handwavy | 04:40 |

| === Harry [n=held@ip120.math.uni-duisburg.de] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Leaving"] | ||
| dholbach | jjtec1: you sure can. As part of the MOTU team, you'll learn new things every time and if you're able to help by reviewing, you can mentor other MOTU hopefuls. Reviewing often doesn't cost too much time, if you notice something, just tell your fellow team member. | 04:42 |

| dholbach | that's just one example - we have lots of other things that don't require a huge technical background either: bug triage, team organisation, etc | 04:43 |
| dholbach | <rikai> QUESTION: You said there aren't any minimum requirements as to time spent helping on MOTU, which is nice. That said, is there an amount that you would LIKE to see(in an optimal situation)? | 04:43 |
| dholbach | rikai: hehe... sure :-) | 04:43 |
| dholbach | rikai: Jokes aside: an optimal situation is where somebody picks up a task and works on it reliably - that's more worth than being 24/7 in #ubuntu-motu :-) | 04:44 |

| === corstar [n=corstar@203-59-183-59.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | popey: Documentation | 04:45 |
| popey | documentatino of upstream packages or of MOTU processes? | 04:45 |
| dholbach | as I said before our wiki could do with some serious clean up and I'll try to do my part in the next weeks | 04:45 |
| dholbach | popey: the MOTU wiki in general | 04:45 |
| popey | ok | 04:45 |
| dholbach | popey: we have a bunch of old lists on there, confusing but still existing descriptions of things etc | 04:46 |
| popey | that would be tricky for a newbie to attack, no? | 04:46 |
| dholbach | I'm sure the other MOTUs in here have something else to mention as well :) | 04:46 |
| === pjman [n=larsont@c-75-73-129-110.hsd1.mn.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | popey: sure... but it helps if you as a MOTU hopeful add a question and an answer you got to MOTU/FAQ for example | 04:46 |
| dholbach | or ask on ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com to review a text you just wrote for the wiki | 04:47 |
| popey | ok | 04:47 |
| dholbach | but I agree, it's not the optimal thing to start with | 04:47 |
| dholbach | <stani> QUESTION: if I am only developping python applications and don't know C,C++,... is than packaging more easy to learn and will I be able to a potential motu packager? | 04:47 |
| dholbach | stani: you certainly don't have to know all the programming languages there are | 04:48 |
| === rbroen [n=chatzill@216-215.mxp.dsl.internl.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||

| === sharms [n=sharms@ubuntu/member/sharms] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | people who attended the Packaging101 session on Monday might have experienced what is part of the MOTU action: | 04:48 |
| === noodles12 [n=ghost@134.193.245.26] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| dholbach | you often spend time to make a package build again, or you make sure that files get installed in the right place, etc | 04:49 |
| dholbach | there are many different tasks around and surely not all require C skills | 04:49 |
| dholbach | <popey> QUESTION: Do you have to be mindful of packaging for differench architectures than your own - i.e. I only have i386, no 64 bit, no sparc, is that a problem? | 04:50 |
| dholbach | popey: no, not at all, if you build a package on your machine and it builds it's mostly safe to assume that it builds everywhere, especially if the upstream project existed for a while | 04:50 |
| dholbach | popey: if the package ftbfs (fails to build from source), the friendly build daemon software will send you a mail and you can still ask a member of your team with that piece of hardware to help you debug it | 04:51 |

| dholbach | <siretart> QUESTION: are there plans for developer machines for MOTUs? | 04:52 |
| dholbach | siretart: good question - I didn't attend the session at UDS | 04:53 |
| ivan | testing | 04:53 |
| dholbach | siretart: elmo and LaserJock are your best bets for that question | 04:53 |
| dholbach | siretart: I know that there is work in progress concerning the PPAs (personal package archives) | 04:53 |
| siretart | ok | 04:53 |
| dholbach | siretart: but 'root access' on data center machines will not be easy to get past elmo ;-) | 04:54 |
| === momes [n=momes@p54B3F5D1.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| dholbach | <evarlast> QUESTION: I find packaging typical autotools things very easy, but what about guidelines for programs which do not use autotools? | 04:54 |
| dholbach | evarlast: a lot of other packages do that: python packages using the python distutils (think setup.py), perl packages using else homebrewn, packages that just install files to a random place, etc | 04:55 |
| dholbach | evarlast: there are guidelines for some sorts of packages and there are tools to make life of a package maintainer easier | 04:55 |
| dholbach | CDBS for example has a python-distutils class, a perl class and so on | 04:55 |
| dholbach | <jjtec1> QUESTION: elmo? | 04:55 |

| ogra | sadly no, we tried to establish an artteam for edgy, but that ended up to be a single person | 05:41 |
| ogra | i'm hoping there willbe more in that area for feisty | 05:41 |
| ogra | <plagerism> Question: Currently my school is looking to migrate to another Distrobution with some sort of Distributed Filesystem( to allow root access to an individual fs per Student). The reason being is that *nix is the class. Is there any software packages that would allow this, and if so Would Edubuntu Support it?? | 05:41 |
| ogra | not out of the box yet .... | 05:42 |
| ogra | edubuntu will have a netbooted-diskless-workstation mode i ltsp for feisty though ... | 05:42 |
| ogra | with some easy tweaks you can make it use things like AFS or GFS | 05:43 |
| ogra | <devilsadvocate> (can anyone tell me if edubuntu is gnome-based?) | 05:43 |

| === Saelynh [n=saelynh@cha92-11-82-243-247-67.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| ogra | all i can say is: point me to an open source app that supports this and we'll try to include it in edubuntu, i'm not aware of any drag/drop algebra app yet | 05:46 |
| ogra | <devilsadvocate> Question : I've just seen the advocacy page and it seems most of the apps that give edubuntu the specialization are either DE neutral or are KDE apps - why ship with gnome and then depend on kde apps? I've noticed that things like proxy settings and similar environment variables can get messy in such a situation. Why not just ship with KDE and have a more coherent interface? | 05:46 |
| === n3gbz [n=Owner@cpe-66-24-228-93.stny.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| ogra | thats simply because the dektop team and support for gnome is bigger in ubuntu and edubuntu simply relies on the base desktop ... | 05:47 |
| ogra | implementations of new stuff should be desktop independent | 05:47 |
| ogra | i.e. the newly implemented ltsp manager will have gtk as well as qt frontends | 05:47 |
| ogra | <jjtec1> QUESTION: So in fiesty, the aim of the first CD is still 6-15 year olds? | 05:48 |
| ogra | thats a good auestion we'll have to discuss with out educational manager during the development process, there is no final decision about any apps yet | 05:48 |
| ogra | but likely it will add support for the older students as well | 05:49 |
| ogra | <brian_> QUESTION: That brings me back to my infrastructure question, education applications all need similair capabilities, wouldn't it be nice to have a toolkit around that we all could use? | 05:49 |
| === pag [n=peege@cs181126036.pp.htv.fi] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| ogra | <devilsadvocate> Question - A mjor problem with selling edubuntu to a school is that the core use of computers is in teching programming languages - specifically Basic, C, in that age group.

| jono | <neuro_> QUESTION: How different do you see the Ubuntu community to that of, say, Debian, Fedora, Slackware, or Gentoo? Any pros and/or cons? | 06:04 |
| jono | I see the Ubuntu community as a hugely open and transparant community | 06:04 |
| jono | we don't suffer from the "water cooler effect" as much where developers working for a company talk to each other and don't update the community - our distributed community means that happens much less - sure it will happen to a point, but much less | 06:05 |
| jono | I have a huge amount of respect for the other communities, particularly Debian | 06:05 |
| jono | the Debian community has a strong base, and has become a pretty reliable place to be | 06:05 |
| jono | rasman> QUESTION: How does the commercial side of Ubuntu fit within the community? | 06:06 |
| jono | rasman, I think it is important that our commercial side (Canonical and other people who make money from Ubuntu and Ubuntu services) have a solid connection with the community | 06:06 |
| jono | as an example, Christina Armstrong who is CJA in here, is our communications hero at Canonical - Christina is looking to work with the Ubuntu Marketing Team where possible to have a solid relationship | 06:07 |

| === rejden [n=rejden@193.87.19.130] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| === jarnoz [n=jarnoz@dsl-trebrasgw1-fe41fa00-38.dhcp.inet.fi] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | * Ubuntu is hugely popular, which means a lot of people will use it when using Jokosher | 06:09 |
| === effie_jayx [n=valles@190.37.159.143] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | * Ubuntu is representative of a typical desktop - no crazy of funky crack that confounds expectations | 06:10 |
| jono | * A good solid release schedule that is pretty reliable | 06:10 |
| jono | as such, Ubuntu provides a solid base for us to develop on, and a good roadmap for getting our app out there | 06:10 |
| jono | and the reason why we chose the ubuntu roadmap? | 06:10 |
| jono | because pretty much *all* our devs use ubuntu | 06:10 |

| jono | in some situations, these are temporary solutions to deep problems | 06:11 |
| jono | we actively encourage derivative distributions, as many of them serve a purpose that Ubuntu does not exclusively | 06:12 |
| jono | we also want to encourage that valuble aspect of free software - the ability to take free software and roll it your own way | 06:12 |
| jono | but, I think with great power comes great responsibility :P | 06:12 |
| === RadiantFire [n=ryan@unaffiliated/radiantfire] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Konversation] | ||

| jono | I am certainly keen to work with other derivs | 06:14 |
| jono | for many distros, Ubuntu offers a solid base that is built upon - take Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu etc | 06:15 |

| jono | <corstar> QUESTION: Have bounties helped in brining a wider userbase to Ubuntu or is that just some geek cred? | 06:16 |
| jono | bounties have their place, and when used correctly, yes they do help | 06:16 |
| jono | but bounties are not the only solution to getting people over to Ubuntu | 06:16 |
| jono | bounties work well for certain things with a specific and targetted problem to solve, and with a certain type of developer | 06:16 |
| jono | the problem with bounties is that they often don't offer up enough cash for people | 06:17 |
| === freakcode [n=freakcod@201-27-164-224.dsl.telesp.net.br] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | I think growing a userbase and developerbase is an advocacy problem, and advocacy cannot be performed with a single technique | 06:17 |
| jono | we need many feathers to our bows to get people over | 06:17 |
| jono | <rasman> QUESTIONS: What do you mean by Ubuntu roadmap? | 06:17 |
| === ryu [n=chris@unaffiliated/ryu] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Verlassend"] | ||
| === jarnoz [n=jarnoz@dsl-trebrasgw1-fe41fa00-38.dhcp.inet.fi] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | rasman, the roadmap is the plan for Ubuntu is moving forward - it is the feature set and direction we want to take | 06:18 |
| jono | this is usually done at a release level - dapper roadmap, edgy roadmap, feisty roadmap etc | 06:18 |
| jono | <brian_> QUESTION: back to apps, are there plans or a mechanism to put Ubuntu specific features into any of them? | 06:18 |
| jono | brian_, good question | 06:18 |
| jono | brian_, I am not the best person to answer this, as the distro team probably is | 06:19 |
| jono | but some apps have additional things rolled in, such as the help menu options that hook into launchpad | 06:19 |
| jono | we also customise apps and add specific support where it makes sense, such as using the GNOME VFS where it makes sense in Ubuntu | 06:19 |
| jono | with free software it often makes sense for upstream apps to build in the main features, and any specific integration additions are patched afterwards | 06:20 |
| jono | but we are certainly keen that upstream apps get those features that benefit all distros | 06:20 |
| jono | <sjoeboo> QUESTION: do you ever see some sort of "feature voting" taking place, allowing users and the like the ability to weigh in on specs when they are not able to attend the summits/confrences? | 06:20 |
| jono | sjoeboo, we have informal process of feature voting now, but it requires people to offer comments on features | 06:21 |
| === guebay is now known as silvermage | ||
| jono | I doubt we will have polls about features as polls are inexact techniques of determining popularity | 06:21 |
| jono | polls are just literally a popularity contest that can be stuffed by people with too much time on their hands | 06:21 |
| === urkurk [n=robert@87.96.172.54] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||

| === silvermage [n=gba@p5084B2F8.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Konversation] | ||
| jono | of course, you don't need to be at the summits physically to take part in this | 06:22 |
| jono | we are hoping to make this process easier as time goes on | 06:22 |
| === csatwork [n=csworkin@24-75-173-202-st.chvlva.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | <binary2k2> QUESTION: how important are LoCo teams to the ubuntu community? | 06:22 |
| jono | binary2k2, hugely | 06:22 |
| jono | binary2k2, LoCo teams are a key part of our community, and I am *really* keen to see them grow | 06:23 |
| freakcode | What about proprietary software? Will it come as bundle in edgy+1, or is the team working in some type of tool to install via apt-get, upon showing a disclaimer to the user? If not, I think this should be an ideia, because many users rely on proprietary software (drivers, codecs), so a tool like that (more simple than using synpatic) should be more human-like | 06:23 |

| jono | my first month of Canonical was largely spent on Loco teams and improving the structure we have there - improving the docs, better organising the site, building regular meetings, improving communication between teams etc | 06:24 |
| jono | <effie_jayx> QUESTION: how often do you talk to the different loCo teams... and why is the loCo team in my country in another irc server (unplug) | 06:24 |
| jono | effie_jayx, I try to talk to as many teams as I can, and I am always keen to get feedback from teams, by my time is fairly limited and spread across the entire Ubuntu community, so I don't get a chance to talk a lot to everyone | 06:25 |

| jono | <corstar> QUESTION: Is there a meathod of advertising that we can use to gain maximum bang for our buck to spread Ubuntu?Maybe something similar to "spread firefox" What other meathods have worked for Ubuntu in the past? | 06:26 |
| jono | corstar, good question | 06:26 |
| effie_jayx | jono so I heard... but they insist on using unplug | 06:26 |
| jono | this depends on how you frame the problem | 06:26 |
| jono | effie_jayx, get them over here :) | 06:26 |
| jono | corstar, I think this is an advocacy mission | 06:27 |
| effie_jayx | jono will try... | 06:27 |
| jono | I used to be a professional Open Source advocate in my previous job, and I spent some time trying different methods of getting people over to free software | 06:27 |
| jono | again, it needs a multi-faceted approach - a single technique will not cut the mustard | 06:27 |
| in_flames_666 | how can the ubuntu users get involved in the community? #ubuntu-classroom-chat | 06:27 |
| jono | advocacy generally needs a consistant, sustained approach - that is why spread firefox was so successful, they kept pushing and pushing | 06:28 |
| jono | but it also relies on having a solid understanding of your audience and what they need | 06:28 |
| tonyyarusso | in_flames_666: /join #ubuntu-classroom-chat, then ask there. | 06:28 |
| jono | firefox had a relatively simple audience - web users | 06:29 |

| === thomasbl [n=thomasbl@e179010069.adsl.alicedsl.de] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Da] | ||
| jono | I think a lesson we should *all* take from spread firefox is that freedom was *part* of the selling point - they also hammered home the feature and security benefits | 06:29 |
| jono | I personally think we need to stop the focus being 100% on freedom - the picture is MUCH bigger than just that | 06:29 |
| jono | <tonyyarusso> QUESTION: There has been some discussion about a one-vote per approved member system for certain things though, still very much in the mildly pondering stage, has there not? | 06:30 |

| jono | then the Ubuntu Community Manager position came up and I figured I would strike while the iron was hot :P | 06:36 |

| jono | <samgee> QUESTION: Is it important for an active community member to be on all relevant communication channels? What if you don't like IRC and/or mailing lists? | 06:41 |

| jono | <freakcode> QUESTION: Again about Cannonical... Many people, especially from other projects and distros, doubts about the Cannonical business plan, like "How can they ship CDs worldwide, for *free*?". Its obvious that Mark done the first step, but can Cannonical really profit only with the comercial support and third-party costumers? | 06:47 |

| sabdfl | it would have been better to focus on the opportunities to collaborate between the distros, which are also interesting | 07:05 |
| sabdfl | hopefully some opensuse folks are here, and those opportunities will get explored | 07:06 |
| sabdfl | i AM very concerned about the novell deal | 07:06 |

| sabdfl | (18:06:14) brent_cool: QUESTION: Would Canonical ever consider any kind of deal with Microsoft, after careful consideration of the impact? Or is *any* deal with Microsoft always completely out of the question due to Microsoft's past? | 07:08 |

| === joejaxx [i=jadaz87@ubuntu/member/joejaxx] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | they play a very hard game, and right now i think we are seeing the beginnings of a push back against linux | 07:09 |
| sabdfl | part of that push back is competition - office 12 is going to be very cool | 07:10 |
| sabdfl | good for them | 07:10 |
| sabdfl | they are stepping up | 07:10 |
| === Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/amaranth] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | part of it is community - i think they have been studying community, and working out how they can get some of that vibe into their own scene | 07:10 |
| sabdfl | hence the blogging, hence the open bug trackers, hence codeplex, hence their shared source licence | 07:10 |

| sabdfl | listening to Nat Friedman the other day, he said that Novell initiated the deal, and Microsoft then "just slipped in this patent idea" | 07:11 |
| sabdfl | well, that was naive | 07:11 |
| === [C] 167[_] is now known as [C] 167 | ||
| sabdfl | it's abundantly clear that this is a significant thrust back from microsoft | 07:12 |

Will ubuntu/canonical prefer to have similiar agreements with the IPR holders, or even cross-patenting with competition or you will prefer to stay on the other side (lets say the real 4 freedoms as defined by the GPL)? | 07:18 |
| sabdfl | its clear we need to take a more active stance on patents | 07:19 |
| sabdfl | we'll review the situation and make announcements in that regard when we're ready | 07:19 |

| Nat_ | I think it menas basically nothing for someone inside opensuse, except I hope it means that we get to hire more people to contribute to opensuse. | 07:53 |
| Nat_ | One of the things we asked Microsoft to put in the deal, and which they tried to put in, is a promise never to sue a person for their association with free software | 07:54 |
| sabdfl | (18:53:03) LoudMouthMan: QUESTION: NAT_ can you introduce your self and clarify your relationship with OPensuse and Suse/Novell ? | 07:54 |

| Nat_ | Oh, I'm Nat Friedman, I cofounded a company called Ximian in 1999; in 2003 we sold it to Novell; now I'm CTO of the Linux group at Novell. I live in Germany. | 07:54 |
| sabdfl | (18:53:27) Bourlotieris: QUESTION: "No real harm done" - do you believe that Balmer would make the UNACCEPTABLE announcement he did a few days ago if there was no deal with Novell? | 07:54 |
| Nat_ | Well, first I agree that Ballmer's statements were totally unacceptable | 07:54 |
| Nat_ | and our CEO published an open letter in which he said the same thing | 07:55 |
| sabdfl | (18:53:38) apokryphos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nat_Friedman | 07:55 |
| Nat_ | But, it doesn't take a lot of google searching to determine that he's been saying approximately those same things for years and years, independent of any dealings with Novell | 07:55 |
| Nat_ | So, yes, I think he would have been saying that stuff anyway. | 07:55 |
| Bourlotieris | Only now Novell is relished from that | 07:56 |
| === gheorghe [n=gheorghe@86.123.192.142] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Leaving"] | ||
| Nat_ | Novell is not released | 07:56 |
| Nat_ | Microsoft could sue Novell at any time, that's not prohibited in the contract | 07:56 |
| Nat_ | We would be protected by our own patent portfolio (which we could use to sue Microsoft back) and by OIN, which we helped create. | 07:56 |

| Nat_ | so if someone sues Canonical, or Red Hat, or Debian, over a Linux-related patent infringement, OIN will sue them back | 07:57 |

| jordi | Rosetta's aim is to make translation of Free Software as easy and | 08:02 |
| jordi | non-technical as it can get. The Rosetta team has been working on | 08:02 |
| jordi | creating an interface which hides the specifics of the Gettext PO | 08:02 |
| jordi | file format, which is the standard for translating Free Software, | 08:02 |
| jordi | thus lowering the barrier so anyone with a reasonable knowledge | 08:02 |

| tonyyarusso | Neonightmare: /join #ubuntu-classroom-chat | 08:03 |
| jordi | Rosetta is the main translation system of Ubuntu Linux, and is | 08:03 |
| jordi | the source of all translations which appear in the Ubuntu | 08:03 |
| jordi | releases, and in the frequently updated langpacks. Rosetta is | 08:03 |
| jordi | also designed to help program authors getting their applications | 08:03 |
| jordi | translated. | 08:03 |

| === mattl [n=mattl@gnu/webmaster/mattl] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jordi | Most of the software in your desktops use a standard translation | 08:03 |
| jordi | interface called GNU gettext, which is in charge of showing the | 08:03 |
| jordi | applications in the language the user has chosen. Application | 08:03 |
| === theller [n=chatzill@www.tascon-gmbh.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jordi | programmers need to take care of marking all the user-visible | 08:03 |
| jordi | messages (or strings, as the initiated tend to call them) with a | 08:03 |
| jordi | special marker which can be extracted to plain text ".po" files. | 08:03 |
| jordi | We translators use these files to translate the applications. | 08:03 |
| jordi | Let's look at how a PO file looks. I've put some examples in | 08:03 |
| jordi | http://pusa.informat.uv.es/~jordi/ubuntu-school/ | 08:03 |
| jordi | Have a look at the ubuntu-school.pot file. A POT file is a "PO | 08:04 |
| jordi | Template", that is, an empty PO file ready to be translated. | 08:04 |
| jordi | Looking at the contents of the file, you can see the format is | 08:04 |
| jordi | pretty straight forward: each original string in English (a | 08:04 |
| jordi | msgid) has its corresponding translation (msgstr). While simple, | 08:04 |
| jordi | the po format is quite fragile. One missing quote, and your | 08:04 |
| jordi | entire application build will fail with a syntax error. There are | 08:04 |
| jordi | several very popular PO file editors which help the editing | 08:04 |
| jordi | process: KBabel, PoEdit, GTranslator, Emacs PO-mode... | 08:04 |
| jordi | Rosetta goes one step further in easing the translation of these | 08:04 |
| jordi | PO files, using a clean, web-based interface which hides the | 08:04 |
| jordi | format, presenting only sets of string/translation pairs that you | 08:04 |
| jordi | can fill up. Once the work is done, it's stored in its database | 08:04 |
| jordi | where the information can be exported or shared among other | 08:04 |
| jordi | projects. | 08:04 |
| === CJA [n=christin@217.205.109.249] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Ex-Chat"] | ||
| jordi | Rosetta is, as hinted before, divided in two main branches: one | 08:05 |
| jordi | serves to translate the applications of the people who request | 08:05 |
| jordi | it. For example, the Gobby collaborative editor is being | 08:05 |
| jordi | translated by Rosetta contributors, after its authors requested | 08:05 |
| jordi | us to set it up for them in Rosetta. On the other hand, Rosetta | 08:05 |
| jordi | is the platform from where Ubuntu gets all its translations. | 08:05 |
| jordi | We'll focus on Ubuntu a bit more now. | 08:05 |
| jordi | Ubuntu translations revolve around the Ubuntu translation teams, | 08:05 |
| jordi | which coordinate and produce the translations which get shipped | 08:05 |
| jordi | with every new version. | 08:05 |

| jordi | part of one of the translation teams grants you "write" access to | 08:09 |
| jordi | every translation for that language in Ubuntu. Still, if you're | 08:09 |
| jordi | not a member of your language's team, you can still go ahead and | 08:09 |
| jordi | translate. Your contributions will be also stored in Rosetta's | 08:09 |
| dudanogueira | tuxub, ok... anyway :) | 08:09 |
| jordi | database as "suggestions", but won't appear in Ubuntu's language | 08:09 |
| jordi | packs until a member of the team reviews and validates them. | 08:09 |
| jordi | Rosetta offers a long list of applications that can be | 08:09 |
| jordi | translated. Taking the French team as an example, | 08:09 |
| jordi | https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/edgy/+lang/fr | 08:09 |
| jordi | we can have a look at how their translation status is for the | 08:09 |

| jordi | Rosetta presents us a list of applications which are ready to be | 08:10 |

| jordi | you see, the French have done their homework and there's barely | 08:10 |
| jordi | no red bars, meaning "untranslated". See the bottom of the | 08:10 |
| jordi | page for the meaning of the bar colours. | 08:10 |
| jordi | Let's see how we'd translate an application. Close to the top of | 08:10 |
| jordi | the list is "launchpad-integration". We'll pick this one as it's | 08:10 |
| jordi | easy and short. | 08:10 |

| jordi | https://translations.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/edgy/+source/launchpad-integration/+pots/launchpad-integration/fr/+translate | 08:11 |
| jordi | If instead of French you want to have a look at your own | 08:11 |
| jordi | language's translation, simply replace "/fr" in the URL with the | 08:11 |
| jordi | corresponding ISO 639 code. You can find the code for your | 08:11 |
| jordi | language here: | 08:11 |

| === Inash [n=inash@202.1.207.231] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jordi | Rosetta will present us with a few interesting bits in the main | 08:11 |
| jordi | body of the page. The most important one is the original string | 08:11 |
| jordi | and the translation field where you'll store your translation. | 08:11 |
| jordi | (oh, please tell me if I'm going too fast, I'm trying to speed up things so there's more time for q+a than on Monday) | 08:12 |
| jordi | In our case, the first string is "The Launchpad helper | 08:12 |
| jordi | application failed", which is already translated to French as | 08:12 |
| jordi | "L'assistant Launchpad a chou". Below the accepted translation | 08:12 |
| jordi | there is a list of alternative translations suggested by other | 08:12 |
| === mj [n=martin@p3EE2DDAD.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jordi | people. You can quickly navigate through the translation fields | 08:12 |
| jordi | using the tab key. Once you have completed all the strings in a | 08:12 |
| jordi | page, you want to save your work: hit "Save & Continue" at the | 08:12 |
| jordi | bottom, and if there are more strings to do, Rosetta will then | 08:12 |
| jordi | show them to you. | 08:12 |

| === silbs [n=jane@217.205.109.249] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jordi | There are other bits that can help the translators while they | 08:13 |
| jordi | work on a translation: you might want to see what the translators | 08:13 |
| jordi | to a language similar to yours used in a string that is hard to | 08:13 |
| jordi | translate, for inspiration. You can get such information using | 08:13 |
| jordi | the "Make suggestions from" widget at the top of the string list. | 08:13 |
| jordi | Also, you'll be more interested in seeing the strings that need | 08:13 |
| jordi | work instead of those which are translated already. You can | 08:13 |
| jordi | filter the kind of messages you want to see using the "Show" | 08:13 |
| jordi | widget, where you can select from "all", "unstranslated", | 08:13 |
| jordi | "translated" and "needs review". | 08:13 |
| jordi | While the web interface has allowed many Ubuntu users help out | 08:14 |
| jordi | with the translations to their language, there's certainly | 08:14 |
| jordi | die-hard, old-time translators who will prefer using their own | 08:14 |
| jordi | tools (obscure emacs modules and weird command line tools!) to | 08:14 |
| jordi | work on their translations. Or there might be people who cannot | 08:14 |
| jordi | afford to be online during the whole translating session. | 08:14 |
| jordi | To help them, Rosetta has an import/export mechanism, which | 08:14 |
| jordi | allows you to easily upload translations you have worked on | 08:14 |
| jordi | offline, using your own ways, but you still want to see | 08:14 |
| jordi | integrated in Rosetta, and download your finalised files so you | 08:14 |
| jordi | can do whatever you want with them: back them up, send them to | 08:14 |
| jordi | your team's mailing list, send them to the upstream author so | 08:15 |
| jordi | they get included in the next release... | 08:15 |
| jordi | Importing and exporting is easy: to download your work, use the | 08:15 |
| jordi | "Download" and "Upload file" links in the left-side box when | 08:15 |
| jordi | viewing a translation template. | 08:15 |
| jordi | When requesting a download, Launchpad will prepare the file for | 08:15 |
| jordi | you and will email you the location of the desired export. | 08:15 |
| jordi | Importing is similar. Just fill in the field with the location | 08:15 |
| jordi | path to your file, and rosetta will integrate it in the database | 08:15 |
| jordi | -- note the file upload mechanism is disable right now due to | 08:15 |
| jordi | technical reasons, we expect to be able to resume normal | 08:15 |
| jordi | operations very soon. | 08:15 |

| jordi | The Rosetta team get asked a few frequent questions regularly. I'll try to | 08:18 |
| jordi | address a few of them before moving to the Q+A slot. | 08:18 |
| jordi | Rosetta has a limitted workforce behind it, and people wonder how | 08:18 |

| jordi | sabdfl has explicitly expressed his desire to free chunks of | 08:18 |

| jordi | People always ask us for this or that feature they'd really want | 08:18 |
| jordi | to see in Rosetta. The best way to request them is to file bugs | 08:18 |
| jordi | against Rosetta in Launchpad, so they can be tracked by the | 08:18 |
| jordi | Rosetta developers. You can have a peek at what the team is | 08:19 |

| jordi | Ubuntu in particular has built an impressive community in 2.5 years. If Canonical pulled the plug and the Ubuntu Foundation didn't get any funding, the many community members would surely kkep developing it | 08:22 |
| jordi | there'd be changes, but it would continue, I'm sure. | 08:22 |
| jordi | Back to rsetta now :) | 08:22 |
| freakcode | jordi, LaunchPad and Rosetta is crucial to Ubuntu model of development. So, how can it be integrated in Ubuntu desktop (tools)? | 08:22 |
| jordi | Another source of FAQs is how to deal with the fact that sometimes, Rosetta and upstream projects (such as GNOME or KDE) end up with divergent sets of translations. This is due to the fact that Ubuntu translators can change/fork the translations coming from upstream sources in Rosetta, or even create them before they exist in CVS | 08:23 |

| sabdfl | jordi: +1, LP would be freed if Canonical died, and the Ubuntu Foundation would carry Ubuntu forward | 08:25 |
| === j^ [n=j^@e178048093.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| kiko | well, that's an interesting question. I can assure people that Canonical would provide Launchpad would a decent exit strategy if it was considering going out of business, but to be honest that is not on the discussion board right now -- nor has it ever been. we are growing! :) | 08:25 |
| jordi | We're working on measures to make it easy to revert it, but it is also important to have Ubuntu translators understand that they need to work closely with upstream so these situations are rare, not th enorm | 08:25 |

| jordi | during the last company meeting, the rosetta developers spent quite some time discussing it and how to improve workflows to avoid them | 08:33 |
| jordi | The biggest source of problem is oversized teams | 08:33 |
| jordi | right now, any member in a translation group has rights to translate... or tamper with any translation of any package in main. | 08:33 |
| jordi | This is good, it opens the door for many people to contribute, but in some cases it has caused problems as teams would be accepting basically anyone who knocked at the door, not even knowing if they knew just a little bit of English | 08:34 |
| === neversfelde [n=neversfe@p54943DE5.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jordi | the results were that some languages were seeing a few bad translations in some areas. | 08:35 |
| jordi | We recommend that team leaders be very careful about this now, and some teams have developed some guidelines and internal rules that are working well for them | 08:35 |
| jordi | for example, the Italians and Brazilians are working through a mailing list, and newcomers basically are "tested" to see if they can be trusted to do good translations, or need some training | 08:36 |

| jordi | they are pointed at the glossaries, style guides, etc which are relevant for the translations they'll focus on, and they are also taught to contact upstream translators if any, so they can cooperate | 08:37 |
| jordi | this avoids crappy translations, and duplicate translations between upstream and ubuntu | 08:37 |
| jordi | also, we want to help get rid of the "divergence" problems by making it easy to identify what strings have changed in Ubuntu with respect to the originals, so they can be corrected in Rosetta, or in upstream CVS, whatever applies | 08:38 |
| jordi | and also, there's talk about introducing a new level of membership in teams, as outlined before | 08:39 |
| === Nat_ [i=nat@nat/suse/x-2ec1b76da23dd69d] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jordi | 20:35 < alefteris> QUESTION: Would you advice translating a few parts of ubuntu, like gnome, upstream to avoid regressions and use rosseta for ubuntu specific packages only? Is it possible to block the translation of specific packages in in rosseta and get translations only from upstream? | 08:39 |
| dand | sounds great, thanks jordi :) | 08:39 |
| jordi | alefteris: this more or less overlaps with what I explained above | 08:39 |
| jordi | but no, we don't want to lock upstream translations in rosetta | 08:40 |
| jordi | this is by design. | 08:40 |
| jordi | Upstream translations are notperfect, and one of the great, unique features in ubuntu is the ability to update translations not even after upstream has shipped their tarball | 08:40 |
| jordi | but also after ubuntu itself has shipped a final CD release, via the langpacks system I explained before | 08:41 |
| === freakcode [n=freakcod@201-27-164-224.dsl.telesp.net.br] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Leaving"] | ||
| jordi | so, if there's a big, ugly typo in your Bulgarian gnome-panel, the Bulgarian translators can fix it in dapper after the release even, and won't have to see the typo during the next 3 years. | 08:42 |
| jordi | what I explained before applies: even if these changes can be made, we encourage the ubuntu translators notify upstream translators about the problems they find, so these changes swim upstream too | 08:42 |
| jordi | this way, everyone wins: ubuntu gets instant updates via langpacks, the rest of GNOME users will see the ubuntu fixes with the next GNOME release. | 08:43 |
| jordi | 20:39 < mruiz> QUESTION: hello. Currently I have an horrible translation bug for nm-applet. (spanish -> still there!) What's about QA translation in Rossetta? | 08:43 |
| === ferox [n=ferox@d83-176-110-119.cust.tele2.it] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jordi | mruiz: I'm not sure I get your idea. If there's a bug in nm-applet, it can be easily fixed in Rosetta so next month it won't be there anymore. | 08:44 |
| jordi | We are working on a "Review mode", if you mean this | 08:44 |
| === cmvo [n=cmvo@unaffiliated/cmvo] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| mruiz | ok | 08:44 |
| jordi | This would ease reviewing the already done translations. This feature is top priority right now, should be in Rosetta very soon. | 08:45 |
| mruiz | jordi, how usually do reviews are made? | 08:45 |
| === mark_610 [n=mark@pool-70-110-227-113.phil.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jordi | mruiz: it entirely depends on the teams. If a team is well organised and schedules a "review squad" every now and then, the benefits can be very visible | 08:46 |
| jordi | but that requires a lot of manpower, and unluckily, not all th teams have it | 08:46 |
| mruiz | I proposed many fixes to spanish translations... I must coordinate with spanish team? | 08:46 |
| jordi | how did you propose them? | 08:47 |

| jordi | 20:47 < adrian3> QUESTION: [practical] I have a question about some translations... some are a kind of "O_pen..." How do I translate them ? ( "open" for example in italian language is "apri" and in romanian language is "deschide"), but what to do with that underscore ? | 08:48 |

| jordi | Be careful not to use a letter that was already used by another item of the same menu, though | 08:50 |

| mdke | Download our repository, and start getting familiar with the markup language by reading and editing some existing documents. We have a validation tool included which will tell you where there is an error in the document markup. If you are confused, you can ask in #ubuntu-doc or on the mailing list, and you will generally get some help, but you should be patient! | 09:04 |
| mdke | Low hanging fruit for those wishing to get involved: | 09:05 |
| mdke | Proof reading is a good way to get involved. Also, we have a number of bugs open about typos, errors, omissions, which you can try and fix. See [WWW] https://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-doc/+bugs and [WWW] https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bugs (in the latter link substitute ubuntu-docs with xubuntu-docs or kubuntu-docs if interested in that variant!) | 09:05 |

| mdke | We have some key tasks we want to look at for the next release of Ubuntu | 09:06 |
| mdke | these are: | 09:06 |
| mdke | 1. Improving the navigability and readability of the help ([WWW] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TopicBasedHelp). | 09:06 |
| mdke | that's our major specification we're working on right now | 09:06 |
| mdke | 2. # | 09:06 |
| mdke | 2. Incorporating material from the Official Ubuntu Book into appropriate sections in the system documentation, amending the style accordingly. | 09:06 |
| mdke | 3. Addressing areas which are missing from the documentation, in particular by reviewing material on the wiki/forum/mailing lists and converting it to docbook for inclusion in the system documentation (there is a good tool for doing this conversion). | 09:06 |
| mdke | 4. Updating existing information which is no longer valid due to inclusion of new features in Feisty. | 09:07 |
| mdke | so that's a whistlestop overview of the system documentation. Does anyone have some questions specifically on that aspect of the documentation? Afterwards I'll talk about the community-driven wiki | 09:08 |
| === paracetamolo [n=paraceta@81-174-12-172.f5.ngi.it] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| mdke | but let's have a few questions now, otherwise I feel like I'm talking to myself... | 09:08 |
| kudzubane | i've got one in -chat | 09:08 |
| mdke | can you ask in in here? | 09:09 |
| mdke | it* | 09:09 |
| kudzubane | QUESTION: Is the HTML non-wiki documentation generated from DocBook as well? | 09:09 |
| === richardb [n=richard@81-178-72-1.dsl.pipex.com] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| mdke | yeah. The material you see at https://help.ubuntu.com is simply an HTML version of our system documentation | 09:09 |
| kudzubane | Question: Is the documentation project also responsible for the Ubuntu book? | 09:09 |
| === DenisTheMenace [n=denisthe@p57A0C988.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| Burgwork | kudzubane: no, the official ubuntu book is done by Prentice Hall and Canonical | 09:10 |
| === DenisTheMenace [n=denisthe@p57A0C988.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| Burgwork | however, as mdke points out, it is under a free license | 09:11 |
| jonathan_ | join ubuntu-classroom-chat | 09:11 |
| mdke | ok, the tools question now | 09:11 |
| kudzubane | i seem to remember reading the book is done voluntarily | 09:11 |
| mdke | kudzubane: no, that's not correct: the authors are private individuals who are paid for it, but they are also community members | 09:12 |
| mdke | but the documentation team isn't involved | 09:12 |
| kudzubane | thx | 09:12 |
| mdke | so, the tools. As I say, the markup is called docbook xml, which uses tags a bit like HTML | 09:13 |

| mdke | however the best way to work is to simply open up an existing document and explore that. | 09:20 |
| === somerville32 [n=ubuntu@fctnnbsc15w-156034073180.nb.aliant.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| mdke | one very important thing to emphasise | 09:21 |
| mdke | if people don't understand how to use docbook, we'll accept input from anywhere: bug reports, mailing list, wiki articles, and so on | 09:21 |
| mdke | that brings me on nicely to the wiki material, so I'll explain that, then take more questions | 09:21 |
| mdke | so this is the wiki at https://help.ubuntu.com/community | 09:22 |
| mdke | to contribute: | 09:22 |
| mdke | Simply log into the wiki (using your launchpad account), and correct errors you find in documents. Read existing documents to become familiar with the wiki markup, which is very simple. Above anything else, read the wiki guide: [WWW] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide. | 09:22 |
| mdke | a good guide to our wiki markup is at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HelpOnEditing | 09:23 |
| === Neonightmare [n=neonight@211.122.76.83.cust.bluewin.ch] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| mdke | it's very simple. | 09:23 |
| mdke | Low hanging fruit for those wishing to get involved: | 09:23 |
| mdke | One way of becoming familiar with the material and how we work is to begin reading it and checking it for accuracy. Report any bugs at the above links! | 09:23 |
| mdke | A number of more substantial "wiki-tasks" (as well as a list of pages that need serious attention) are listed on [WWW] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiToDo. | 09:23 |
| mdke | The key tasks for improving the wiki over the next release are: | 09:24 |
| === jonathan_ [n=jonathan@cpc2-cbly1-0-0-cust255.glfd.cable.ntl.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| mdke | 1. Improve the self-maintainability of the wiki by introducing easy tools for quality assurance ([WWW] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpWikiQualityAssurance). This spec needs ideas, discussion and eventually some code! | 09:24 |
| === vyoman [n=andre@80-195-189-177.cable.ubr05.croy.blueyonder.co.uk] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Konversation] | ||
| mdke | 2. Once we have a nice system in place, doing quality assurance to ensure users are given reliable information and can quickly identify how reliable a page is. | 09:25 |
| mdke | 3. Improving existing material and adding new material to the wiki, in particular drawing on the immense resources offered by the forums ([WWW] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/forum) | 09:25 |

| === Morte1 [n=morten@e179197020.adsl.alicedsl.de] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| mdke | 4. Clarify the license of material on the wiki by convincing the Community Council to approve the year-old specification ([WWW] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WikiLicensing). | 09:26 |
| === jonathan_ [n=jonathan@cpc2-cbly1-0-0-cust255.glfd.cable.ntl.com] has left #ubuntu-classroom ["Konversation] | ||
| mdke | (there are quite a lot of links in this presentation, I'll make some notes available so that people can read over them and take in the pages I've linked to with a bit more time) | 09:27 |
| mdke | A long-term goal (at least for me) is to bring the system documentation and the online documentation closer and closer together, so that eventually it is easy for the system documentation to draw on contributions via the wiki, | 09:27 |
| mdke | and (the other side of the coin) users to browse and search all of the available documentation via a single interface, be it via the online website or the system help viewer. This goal is rather a large one, and is essentially waiting on the right tools to come together. | 09:27 |
| === eboogie_ [n=evan@204.193.132.7] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| mdke | Ok. That was a quick summary of the wiki documentation material we have. I've come to the end of my prepared presentation, so we can dedicate the rest of the session to questions. | 09:28 |
| mdke | feel free to post questions in here, but please wait until I've answered the previous question. Who's first? | 09:29 |
| mihakriket | To edit the documents on the wiki, do you need to be a member of the docs team? | 09:30 |
| mdke | mihakriket: absolutely not. You need to log in, and then you can go ahead and edit. If you are making structural or seriously large changes, it's a good idea to discuss them on the mailing list, but otherwise, basically free reign at this time | 09:31 |
| === KHatfull [n=keith@64.89.123.242] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| mdke | no, that should be on "installation-guide" | 09:34 |
| daxelrod | Ah, OK, thank you. I'll change that. | 09:34 |
| apokryphos | <kudzubane> Question: Is the documentation project also responsible for the Ubuntu book? | 09:34 |

| mdke | KHatfull: no, we don't have any system documentation about that. It would be a nice thing to include. There may be material on the wiki, if so, then maybe it can be tidied up and transformed into something that can be included in the system documentation | 09:37 |
| mdke | KHatfull: if you're interested in working on that, that would be great. If not, you can open a bug and hopefully someone will be inspired to look at that area | 09:38 |
| KHatfull | Thanks... | 09:38 |
| daxelrod | QUESTION: What level of expertise are assumed of the reader of documentation? Or does it depend on what is being documented? | 09:38 |
| mdke | good question | 09:38 |
| mdke | yes, to some extent it depends on what is being documented. We tend to try and assume the level of expertise is something around what we envisage as being the level of the average Ubuntu user | 09:39 |
| === walron [n=walron@HSI-KBW-082-212-039-181.hsi.kabelbw.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| mdke | so we try and make it as easy to understand as possible, even for someone who is new to Ubuntu | 09:39 |
| mdke | but we tend to assume some experience with computers | 09:39 |
| Burgwork | we also assume that the reader is more familar with and more comfortable with graphical tools | 09:39 |

| dnkorte | if someone wanted to get involved in proofreading, whom does he contact? | 09:41 |
| violot | I'd be interested maybe in some docs. | 09:41 |
| lazywanker | QUESTION: sorry if this has been covered already. how are k/x/ed/ubuntu specific docs integrated with the ubuntu (read: gnome) docs. is there a section for the ubuntu-common stuff that covers all distros? | 09:41 |
| mdke | dnkorte: our mailing list is a great place to start. and diving in :) | 09:42 |
| mihakriket | Yes. | 09:42 |
| dnkorte | where to signup for mailing list? | 09:42 |
| mdke | lazywanker: some material is common between the distributions. For example the server material, packaging guide, and the desktop based material is kept as similar as possible | 09:42 |

| violot | QUESTION: Where do you need help in the docs the most? | 09:43 |
| violot | Or what do you need help on... etc. | 09:44 |
| mdke | violot: that rather depends on whether you are interested in contributing on the wiki or to the system documentation | 09:44 |
| lazywanker | mdke: wrt to previous question. surely then you're going to get alot of overlap and/or people having to hunt in two places for an answer? | 09:44 |
| mdke | I mentioned some key tasks during the presentation. I won't repeat them here, but I'll make my notes available on the mailing list, on the wiki and on my blog | 09:45 |

| === lorenzo [i=Ubuntu@cpe-065-190-203-005.nc.res.rr.com] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| somerville32 | Xubuntu makes use of the Xfce4 desktop | 10:07 |
| somerville32 | and is shipped with top quality packages from the Ubuntu archives. Xubuntu will use, as far as possible, GTK2 applications, ensuring maximum efficiency. | 10:08 |
| somerville32 | However, since Ubuntu is built on the Ubuntu base, you can also install your KDE and Gnome applications. | 10:08 |
| somerville32 | It is a common misconception that Xubuntu is only suitable for low-end desktops. | 10:09 |

| somerville32 | Xubuntu IS ideal for old or low-end machines, thin-client networks, and also for those who would like to get more performance out of their hardware. | 10:11 |
| somerville32 | Our aim is to provide the best desktop experience possible we can and we're working towards that goal. | 10:12 |
| somerville32 | So, what kind of things are we working on? | 10:13 |
| somerville32 | The Xubuntu Team is assisting upstream development - Thunar, Xfce4, etc. | 10:13 |
| somerville32 | We've also taken responsibility for some of the light-weight, alternative software on launchpad | 10:14 |

| somerville32 | I know when I first tried linux | 10:26 |
| C_Mooney | Will you ever impose a limit on Xubuntu - ie when will it become *too* bloated? | 10:26 |

| fzap | Q: what is the minimum hardware requirement for running xubuntu. | 10:27 |
| NeilW | Yes, I think that's my feeling too. You don't need everything but a few games make a nice entry to using a new machine. And for while waiting for the printer.... | 10:28 |
| somerville32 | C_Mooney: We're constantly supervising and re-evaluating our goals to ensure things are kept in check. | 10:28 |
| maxamillion | jeanvial: no, it would still be a little heavy for something like a pocketpc, there are projects for pocketpcs that use gui toolkits geared for embedded systems | 10:28 |
| somerville32 | C_Mooney: However, the end-users are the real check and balance. If people start complaining then we're ready to listen and to respond. | 10:29 |

| TLE | < tictacaddict> QUESTION: Xubuntu seems to get left out sometimes in news updates, how-to's, wiki entries, etc. People will mention Ubuntu and Kubuntu but leave out Xubuntu. Is that because it's relatively new? Because people don't like XFCE? What? I feel like it isn't getting the coverage it deserves. | 10:35 |
| maxamillion | 15:26 < bruenig> QUESTION: What sort of criteria is used to weigh efficiency and productivity. Are there applications that you rule out because they are just too resource intensive even if they provide a significant productivity boost. And are there things you include because of productivity even though they are more resource hungry than lighter alternatives. Ideally you would | 10:35 |
| somerville32 | hehe | 10:35 |

| somerville32 | One at a time please :) | 10:35 |
| maxamillion | 15:26 < bruenig> ht but how do you weigh those two things when they are in conflict to make a decision on what to include? | 10:35 |
| somerville32 | tictacaddict: It isn't because people don't like Xfce, just that Xubuntu is still new | 10:35 |
| somerville32 | I've been making a personal effort to get people more Xubuntu aware. | 10:36 |
| somerville32 | To get Xubuntu the coverage, people need to show interest | 10:36 |
| TLE | < jjtec1> QUESTION: are any language skills better than others in Xubuntu? | 10:36 |
| somerville32 | bruenig: Thats a major concern for us too. | 10:37 |
| somerville32 | bruening: For example, Xubuntu doesn't include open office by default | 10:37 |

| apokryphos | [21:46:54] <fliegenderfrosch> QUESTION: Is there a list anywhere with features planned for feisty? | 10:49 |
| somerville32 | We're currently still working on drawing up most of the initial specifications. | 10:49 |
| somerville32 | However, Feel free to check out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Specifications | 10:50 |
| somerville32 | And you can even contribute by sharing your ideas for improvements to Xubuntu Feisty Fawn on the wiki | 10:50 |
| somerville32 | Xubuntu is still young | 10:51 |
| somerville32 | Xubuntu is still developing | 10:51 |
| somerville32 | We're currently looking for dedicated individuals who'd like to help | 10:51 |
| somerville32 | And we're constantly trying to make sure that the process of getting involved is as easy as possible (and it is easy). There is so many leadership positions that need filling, so much that people can get involved with. | 10:52 |
| TLE | < TLE> QUESTION: Newbie question here. Will installing a non GTK2 app slow the system down (on low-end machines) even when it is not run because extra stuff have to be loaded at boottime or something like that? | 10:52 |
| somerville32 | TLE: Good question. | 10:52 |
| somerville32 | IT really depends on what you install | 10:52 |
| somerville32 | Some applications start at boot | 10:52 |
| somerville32 | And they WILL slow things down | 10:53 |
| somerville32 | However, other applications will only slow things down when running | 10:53 |
| maxamillion | it will slow the machine down only when using that application because the libraries required for it will be used but once the application has terminated, the memory used to support it and the loaded libraries will be reclaimed by the system | 10:53 |
| somerville32 | There is the option of enabling gnome and kde services within the control panel | 10:53 |
| somerville32 | Some applications require these | 10:53 |
| somerville32 | Some won't run without them | 10:53 |
| somerville32 | But for sure they'll slow your system down | 10:53 |
| somerville32 | And also make the applications take longer to load at times if the nessary libs aren't already loaded. | 10:53 |

| maxamillion | < jjtec1> QUESTION: is GTK2.0 used for xfce? | 10:55 |

| apokryphos | [21:55:02] <JKnife> QUESTION: why the different names for eatch DE? | 10:56 |
| === daky is now known as shaky | ||
| somerville32 | Welp, the different desktop environments use different names to help distinguish themselves. If all the DE shared the same name, it would cause confusion for sure. | 10:57 |
| apokryphos | JKnife: to differentiate them. | 10:57 |

| somerville32 | It uses the QT lib, yup. | 10:57 |

| === rulus [n=roel@d54C0B472.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| maxamillion | < JKnife> How can I get involved in Xubuntu documentation? | 10:58 |
| TheSheep | auralavi: I don't really know much about wdm. Gdm has been tweaked to remove the gnome dependencies, and after that is pretty light. | 10:58 |
| somerville32 | Currently we feel gdm is the best option because of the feature set plus because it is support by the Ubuntu team. | 10:59 |

| somerville32 | important | 11:00 |
| somerville32 | Unfortunatly, Xubuntu is sort of lacking in this department. | 11:00 |

| maxamillion | hello MacSlow | 11:00 |
| somerville32 | I would recommend getting involved with the ubuntu docs team and focusing your efforts on documenting Xubuntu. | 11:01 |
| somerville32 | You'll also find contact information on the wiki and at http://xubuntu.org/devel | 11:01 |

| apokryphos | ok, it's 10 o'clock now, but since there's no other session after feel free to carry on 8) | 11:01 |
| TLE | < TLE> QUESTION: Could you tell us a little bit about the common desktop app's that is part of Xubuntu. What they can and how good they are compared to their GNOME/KDE counterparts | 11:01 |
| MacSlow | hi maxamillion | 11:01 |
| somerville32 | TLE: Good question. | 11:02 |
| somerville32 | We constantly trying to improve the set of applications we install by default | 11:03 |
| somerville32 | We look at performance, feature set, alternatives, etc. | 11:03 |
| TheSheep | Iw ill try | 11:03 |
| somerville32 | It is always improving. | 11:03 |
| === carlos [n=carlos@214.Red-88-17-197.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| somerville32 | Personally... I enjoyed the set of applications installed by default because I know they'll be lightweight enough that I don't end up pulling my hair out. | 11:04 |
| JKnife | Will Xubuntu ever get shipit support? | 11:04 |
| TheSheep | TLE: Thunar is the file manager -- it's very fast compared to Nautilus, but has most of the important features | 11:04 |
| somerville32 | Good example, TheSheep | 11:04 |
| somerville32 | Personally, I prefer Thunar to Nautilus. | 11:04 |
| Burgwork | JKnife: that depends on Canonical | 11:04 |
| TheSheep | TLE: Abiword is the text processor -- it's a little simplier than OO Writer, but also supports .doc and .rtf files | 11:05 |

| TLE | QUESTION UPDATE: How about IM, and internet browser, and multimedia apps ? | 11:05 |
| somerville32 | JKnife: We're working to get shipit support. | 11:05 |
| TheSheep | TLE: mousepad is the plain text editor -- compared to gedit2 it's very simple -- no syntax highlighting, etc. -- just text editing | 11:05 |
| === gustavol1 [n=gustavo@201.37.115.208] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| JKnife | IM uses gaim, Web browser is firefox as the same with ubuntu, and i can not remeber what multimedia apps it comes with | 11:06 |
| TheSheep | TLE: we use firefox for internet browsing and gaim for im, just like ubuntu | 11:06 |
| === chris2048 [n=chris@adsl-213-249-184-48.karoo.KCOM.COM] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| TheSheep | TLE: there are no alternatives with similar feature set, or at least we coudn't find any | 11:06 |
| TLE | Nice.! my two favorite apps ;) | 11:06 |
| === gustavol1 [n=gustavo@201.37.115.208] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| somerville32 | Btw, Installing Xubuntu from Ubuntu is very easy | 11:07 |
| TheSheep | TLE: we use Thunaderbird instead of Evolution though | 11:07 |
| somerville32 | apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 11:07 |
| somerville32 | :) | 11:07 |
| tictacaddict | xubuntu comes with gxine for multimedia, correct? | 11:07 |
| maxamillion | or aptitude install xubuntu-desktop for those who prefer aptitude | 11:07 |
| somerville32 | In Edgy, yes. | 11:07 |
| TheSheep | < jjtec1> QUESTION:Thanks you listed the #irc, did I just miss the mailing list? | 11:07 |
| maxamillion | tictacaddict: correct | 11:07 |
| tictacaddict | xfmedia in daper | 11:07 |
| tictacaddict | dapper | 11:07 |
| no1z | And the player is xfmedia in Dapper | 11:07 |
| stani | QUESTION: How about samba/network support? | 11:07 |

| somerville32 | Stani: Thats something we hope to improve for Feisty. :) | 11:08 |
| TheSheep | < tictacaddict> QUESTION: Why the switch from xfmedia to gxine anyway? They are a little different but xfmedia seemed to work okay. | 11:08 |
| === foxtrot__ [n=chatzill@wnpgmb01dc2-134-90.dynamic.mts.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| stani | Great, it is the only thing for still needing nautilus from time to time. | 11:08 |
| maxamillion | stani: that is actually our biggest area of fallback at the moment, there are ways to create samba shares and such, but to browse them you must follow tutorials found in the forums because it is not yet a feature of Thunar | 11:08 |
| JKnife | 07:08 <tictacaddict> QUESTION: Why the switch from xfmedia to gxine anyway? They are a little different but xfmedia seemed to work okay | 11:09 |
| somerville32 | tictacaddict: xfmedia isn't as mature as gxine and it uses a better backend. | 11:09 |
| === Schnorg [n=peter@dslb-084-056-009-068.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| maxamillion | stani: and if you really feel the need you can install xffm4 which is the old xfce file manager before thunar and that has samba browse support | 11:09 |
