nixternaloh wow, I am totally in disbelief about the Ubuntu Forums05:17
nixternali cannot believe this, they want their own CC or what not, they consider themselves the office ubuntu forums, however they have the power to temporarily lock a thread in order to transfer the information to the UDSF database05:19
=== theCore [n=alex@ubuntu/member/theCore] has joined #ubuntu-doc
Madpilotnixternal, the forums have always been their own little universe...05:32
nixternalwell, they just fell below Gentoo on my useless heirarchy05:34
nixternalthey are pushing windows05:34

Kamping_Kaiserhi09:13
somerville32mdke: Is there anyone leading the Xubuntu documentation effort? Or any contacts?09:14
Kamping_Kaisermdke, can i get just dapper doco from svn, or do i have to wget -mnp it from the web?09:18
mdkesomerville32: well, there is only one contributor. Called luzi09:22
mdkeKamping_Kaiser: yes, "svn checkout url"09:22
Kamping_Kaisermdke, thanks.09:22
somerville32mdke: Someone else will be able to commit if I send in patches, right?09:23
=== poningru [n=poningru@pool-72-64-211-211.tampfl.fios.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkesomerville32: yes09:23
mdkewould be good to get some more contribution09:24
somerville32How many patches would I have to send in before I could get svn access?09:24
Kamping_Kaiserare the dirs like this: UbuntuDapperDocsSVN/ubuntu/desktopguide/ja localised versions?09:24
mdkesomerville32: not many, enough to show you can write English and won't commit anything that breaks09:25
mdkesomerville32: but sending patches is a pretty effective way to contribute already09:25
mdkeKamping_Kaiser: yes09:25
Kamping_Kaiserta09:25
somerville32mdke: Should I use the stuff at http://docs.ubuntu.com/xubuntu or pull ro from svn?09:26
mdkesomerville32: get it from svn and use "svn diff" as described on our wiki pages. The documentation on doc.ubuntu.com is not the source09:29
mdkesomerville32: definitely read our wiki pages, they describe how to ensure what you send is valid docbook, that's very important too09:32
=== somerville32 nods.
mdkesee you later09:32
somerville32Thanks :] 09:32

mdkeLaserJock: hi?09:04
LaserJockmdke: I'd like to request svn access for Pete Savage (cbx33)09:05
LaserJockhe worked with me on some Edubuntu docs09:05
LaserJockhe's an Ubuntu member and MOTU and sent several patches to the mailing list09:05
mdkeI don't remember the patches, were they ok?09:05
LaserJockI'm pretty sure, let me just check my emails real quick09:07
LaserJockyep, he's a pretty good writer and does docbook fine. He wants to get cracking on Edubuntu stuff again09:08
mdkeok09:08
LaserJockI think there will be some more people in the future wanting to get access09:08
LaserJockbut they need to send patches first09:08
mdkegood news09:08
LaserJockwillvdl is working on heading up Edubuntu docs as a part of his employment09:09
mdkeworking on? I thought he *is*09:09
LaserJockwell yeah09:09
willvdlthat would be contrary to open development :)09:10
LaserJockwell, where I come from we'd say he's "riding herd" on Edubuntu docs09:10
LaserJock;-)09:10
willvdlI'm trying to get the ball rolling again in tune with UDP movements. In a month I'm going to be sweating in Nigeria so my time is short09:12
mdkehow long are you in Nigeria?09:12
willvdlnot sure yet.09:14
willvdlprobably only two weeks09:14
mdkeah09:14
willvdlbut then I'm in Argentina for March09:15
mdkeblimey09:15
mdkerockstar stuff09:15
willvdlnothing glamorous about his work :)09:15
willvdl*this09:15
willvdltrust me09:16
LaserJockmdke: are you ok to request svn access for cbx33 or should I do it? I'm not sure if they'd listen to me :-)09:16
mdkeI don't mind09:16
=== rob [i=RobertSt@freenode/staff/rob] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkeLaserJock: so what's the verdict? am I requesting, or are you?10:09
LaserJockyou are :-)10:38
mdkeok10:39
mdkeLaserJock: Pete Savage/cbx33 has no search results on launchpad. Can you tell me his LP name, and ask him to remedy that?10:40
mdkeah, forget the first bit of that10:41
LaserJockyeah, he's hard to find on LP10:41
LaserJockmdke: got it now?10:42
mdkeyes, but still.10:42
LaserJockbut still what?10:43
mdkebut still, he should fix it10:44
mdkebtw LaserJock, willvdl: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31778610:44
LaserJockwhat is there to "fix" he can't just change his LP id I don't think10:44
=== nixternal [n=nixterna@ubuntu/member/nixternal] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkeLaserJock: he could use his real name10:46
mdkeinstead of a joined up name10:46
LaserJockohhh, on Display Name10:47
LaserJockI got it10:47
mdketo be fair,  a search on "savage" doesn't even turn him up, which must be launchpad's fault10:48
willvdlmdke, ogra will be pleased :)10:49
LaserJockthat's what I've always assumed10:49
mdkewillvdl: or horrified, one or the other10:49
willvdlhttps://launchpad.net/people/petesavage10:49
mdkeyeah, I found it from his wiki page10:49
LaserJockI always go to one of the teams he's on10:50
LaserJockbut then I already know what teams he's on10:50
mdkeonly 2 clicks required to fix it10:51
LaserJockI've got him10:51
LaserJockgimme a min10:51
LaserJockmdke: done10:53
mdkealso, we should go through LP and enforce a "LP username = irc handle" rule10:54
LaserJockbah10:54
LaserJockmake LP search for IRC nick10:54
mdkeI tried that.10:54
mdkeand failed. So now, the hard approach10:54
willvdlmdke, not everyone on LP is on irc10:54
mdkewillvdl: we'll enforce that too10:54
LaserJockhehe10:55
LaserJockwell I'm not changing my @ubuntu.com just for you ;-p10:55
mdkeisn't irc supposed to be done through launchpad anyway?10:55
willvdlI work with many people who cannot use irc...firewalls etc.10:55
willvdlyou mean channel maintenance?10:55
LaserJockmdke: hmm? IRC and LP are orthogonal I believe10:56
mdkeI'm just joking around10:56
LaserJockI see10:56
mdkedon't you get the "orthogonal" bug too10:56
LaserJockwell in my case I had an LP account before I had an IRC nick10:56
LaserJockI suppose I could change my nick10:57
willvdlsigh, my humour is fading with my fatigue.10:57
willvdloutahere10:57
LaserJockbut then I'd have to buy another domain :-)10:57
mdkewillvdl: probably mine is at fault here10:57
LaserJockcya willvdl10:57
=== willvdl [n=will@196.36.161.235] has left #ubuntu-doc ["No]
LaserJockI wondered ... silly brits10:57
LaserJockmdke: why the heck does Novell have Edubuntu docs11:00
LaserJockweird11:00
