| popey | yus | 01:43 |
| mdke | popey: is it ok if we open up the LP team for anyone to join, and have the people who can approve videos as "administrators"? I feel it would encourage more contributors, and it will give us an idea of who wants to get involved | 01:44 |
| popey | ok | 01:44 |
| mdke | cool | 01:44 |
| mdke | linuxphotogeek has expressed an interest :) | 01:44 |

| popey | email or blog post? | 01:45 |
| mdke | everything :) I've fixed blog post/fridge/forum | 01:46 |
| mdke | obviously, emails can't be fixed | 01:46 |
| linuxphotogeek | mdke: can't a link or forward be made from the screencasts... to screencast... | 01:48 |
| linuxphotogeek | all would be will then | 01:48 |

| popey | http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=speed+camera&btnG=Search+Images for example | 02:18 |

| somerville32 | You can never tell if they look good unless you try them | 02:21 |
| linuxphotogeek | maybe it should have been Screencasts | 02:21 |

| popey | edited | 02:22 |
| mdke | somerville32: we're keeping the admins thing for people who can approve screencasts, at the moment I'll leave it to popey to determine who those people are, he has exacting standards about screencasts | 02:22 |
| somerville32 | mdke: I'm just looking for temporary status at the moment | 02:22 |

| n1c0las | mdke: I just checked the Screencast Wiki. Is it OK to create some pages as reference on the Wiki by Alan? | 12:41 |
| n1c0las | Pages such as introduction to the Ubuntu Desktop | 12:42 |
| mdke | n1c0las: you mean requests? | 12:42 |
| n1c0las | Yes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/Requests | 12:42 |
| mdke | just follow the guide at the bottom of the page | 12:42 |
| mdke | oh, you mean for one which already exists? | 12:43 |
| n1c0las | Yep | 12:43 |
| n1c0las | e.g. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/Requests/AnIntroductionToTheUbuntuDesktop | 12:44 |
| n1c0las | THis page does not yet exist | 12:44 |
| mdke | n1c0las: I think you should ask popey whether he already has a specification for it, which maybe he hasn't added yet | 12:44 |
| n1c0las | I could create it and set up a user story | 12:44 |
| === mdke nods | ||
| n1c0las | popey, ping - would it be OK to setup the page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/Requests/AnIntroductionToTheUbuntuDesktop | 12:46 |
| jenda | guys - who is in charge of the screencasts? | 12:47 |
| jenda | popey? | 12:47 |
| jenda | I'd just like to point at ubuntuvideo.com - try to cooperate, not split efforts :) | 12:47 |
| mdke | jenda: uh, yeah, we're aware of ubuntuvideo.com, but 1. it doesn't host screencasts, it simply collects videos from the web (without any attempt at quality control), so a wholly different project; and 2. it's seriously unmaintained, last time we checked. | 12:50 |
| mdke | jenda: more relevant is ubuntuclips.org | 12:50 |
| jenda | ooh | 12:52 |
| popey | moo | 12:53 |
| jenda | mdke: 1) ok, good - just wanted to make sure you're aware, and you're right - it's a one man show, and that's rarely good, especially since he's really busy. | 12:53 |
| jenda | 2) didn't know that one. /me bangs head. | 12:53 |
| popey | on a pda | 12:53 |
| jenda | hey popey | 12:53 |
| mdke | popey: did you email the ubuntuclips guy? | 12:54 |
| popey | i am happy for anyone to edit /update requests | 12:54 |
| n1c0las | popey, thanks | 12:55 |
| mdke | popey: so all the specifications from your personal wiki have been transferred? | 12:55 |
| popey | i have only made a start on the ones i have my name on | 12:55 |
| mdke | so it's up to date | 12:55 |
| mdke | cool | 12:56 |
| popey | not yet | 12:56 |
| n1c0las | I presume you want a regular page structure such as https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/Requests/RunningDOSandWindowsPrograms | 12:56 |
| popey | will do | 12:56 |
| mdke | n1c0las: use the template (on the left) | 12:56 |
| popey | yas n1c0las | 12:56 |
| n1c0las | mdke: on the left? | 12:57 |
| popey | am at in-laws for lvnch | 12:57 |
| n1c0las | mdke: I see what you | 12:57 |
| n1c0las | mean | 12:57 |
| mdke | n1c0las: when you go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/Requests/AnIntroductionToTheUbuntuDesktop you see a relevant template on the left | 12:57 |
| n1c0las | :) | 12:57 |
| popey | mdke shall i make a standards page? | 12:58 |

| mdke | n1c0las: I've clarified the point you raised on the page | 01:02 |
| n1c0las | thanks | 01:03 |
| jenda | mmm... ubuntuclips looks like a very well maintained and run site. | 01:03 |
| n1c0las | mdke: However there are many templates to choose from. Which one should i use for the screencast page? | 01:03 |
| mdke | n1c0las: the Screencast Team Request Template, of course :) | 01:06 |
| mdke | n1c0las: feel free to join the launchpad team too | 01:06 |
| mdke | jenda: yeah, it's good | 01:06 |
| === jenda smiles at the how to install easyubuntu clip :) | ||
| jenda | mdke: BTW, thanks for the doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing hosting - we're now working on a site to go with it, which would categorise and link to the files stored there. Here's a preview: diy.devubuntu.com | 01:07 |
| mdke | jenda: yes, I've seen that. The wiki wasn't good enough? | 01:08 |
| jenda | Nope, not really. | 01:08 |
| jenda | Just as it's not good enough for www.ubuntu.com | 01:08 |
| mdke | site looks good. Still, the wiki would have been better, more easily shared with other teams like locoteams | 01:08 |
| jenda | that's a point, indeed. | 01:09 |
| mdke | jenda: www.ubuntu.com is for the public, that site is a team thing, afaics | 01:09 |
| mdke | anyway, looks nice | 01:09 |
| mdke | you should probably plan to include your doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing stuff in that site | 01:09 |
| mdke | I don't know if it will continue to be available indefinitely | 01:10 |
| jenda | The new user is just as probable to want to get an ubuntu sticker or create a poster as anyone within the marketing or doc teams - or more. | 01:10 |
| jenda | So, it's for the public. | 01:10 |
| jenda | OK, that should'nt be a problem. | 01:10 |
| jenda | I'll prod MitchM about that :) | 01:10 |
| jenda | or, if the site gets finished first - Canonical. | 01:11 |
| n1c0las | popey: I created the first version of the Introduction page | 01:11 |

| mdke | no one do anything to the serverguide for the moment, plskthx | 04:26 |
| popey | mdke: should we have a mailing list 'at some point' or keep it to -doc | 04:26 |
| popey | i am having conversations all over the place | 04:27 |
| popey | repeating myself | 04:27 |
| popey | would be nice to centralise those conversations | 04:27 |
| mdke | popey: I was hoping it would be kept to -doc so that the coordination between documentation and screencasts can be close. Do you think a separate ML would help? | 04:28 |
| popey | possibly | 04:28 |
| mdke | hmm | 04:32 |
| popey | hmm indeed | 04:32 |
| mdke | popey: let's reevaluate after some time has passed, maybe try adding stuff to the faq for now if you are seeing common questions come up | 04:32 |
| popey | agreed | 04:32 |
| popey | glad we removed flash from the front page | 04:33 |
| mdke | yeah? | 04:33 |
| popey | was getting tired of answering that one ;) | 04:34 |
| dsas | Would the screencasts being in the repos be useful I wonder? I assume they're too big for the cd... | 04:50 |
| popey | thought that | 04:51 |
| popey | just the oggs | 04:51 |
| popey | have meta packages for categories | 04:52 |
| popey | and one for everything | 04:52 |
| dsas | maybe the docs could then have "to see a demonstration of how to do X; install ubuntu-screencasts and watch /usr/share/data/DoingX | 04:52 |
| popey | each could be in own package | 04:52 |
| dsas | or better yet, just launch totem with the file | 04:52 |
| popey | nobody would want to download them all to watch one | 04:53 |
| dsas | hmm, true. | 04:53 |
| dsas | I'd imagine the packaging would be easy enough for them anyway. | 04:53 |
| popey | yes | 04:53 |
| popey | need more made to make it worhwhile imo | 04:54 |
| popey | arguably | 04:54 |
| mdke | we can have links to the individual screencasts for downloading though, if all else fails | 04:55 |
| popey | yes | 04:56 |
| popey | one thing i may do is crate separate entries on the site to make rss enclosures work | 04:57 |
| popey | that way you could subscribe in a podcast client | 04:57 |
| popey | get videos delivered auomagically | 04:58 |
| popey | will play later | 04:58 |
| mdke | cool | 04:59 |

| Zach | and create a Uniform intro | 06:02 |
| Zach | for all of the new Ubuntu Screencastsa | 06:02 |
| Zach | But, i dont run linux right now, because well... The adobe support is less than nill... | 06:03 |
| dsas | cool, I guess popey is the person to talk about with that. If he's not around and you run out of time you could always drop a mail to the list. | 06:04 |
| Zach | Yea i dont think he is here, i sent him a pm just a second ago | 06:04 |

| Zach | Popey: any ideas for what you want in it | 06:54 |

| tonyyarusso | mdke: why's that weird? | 07:45 |

| mdke | ah, there he is in pm | 07:51 |
| tonyyarusso | heh | 07:52 |
| tonyyarusso | that's amusing | 07:52 |
| mdke | it seems that there is no way to reply to a support ticket without closing it... | 07:53 |
| popey | there is | 07:53 |
| popey | follow the first link inthe mail | 07:53 |
| mdke | popey: is it "Add information request"? | 07:55 |
| popey | what ticket number? | 07:56 |
| mdke | popey: it's not specific to a particular number | 07:56 |
| mdke | (I think) | 07:56 |
| popey | first link i have in my mails from the support tracker merely have a link to the ticket | 07:56 |
| mdke | right, but once you get there, and insert a comment, it seems you mark the ticket as "answered" by commenting on it | 07:57 |
| popey | someone else answered it? | 07:57 |
| popey | not you | 07:57 |
| mdke | I filed it, someone else commented on it, and it got closed | 07:57 |
| mdke | so I had to reopen it | 07:57 |
| popey | when they "commented" they will have had the option to add answer or add info request | 07:58 |
| popey | if they add answer then when you come to it you are adding comments | 07:58 |

| fergus | hey there | 08:59 |
| mpt | hey ho | 09:00 |
| fergus | really interested in getting involved with the doc. side of things... should i dive straight into the wiki to start off? :) | 09:04 |
| mpt | That's an easy way to start, sure :-) | 09:05 |
| fergus | can u have a look at something i did today and tell me what you think? :) | 09:06 |
| mpt | Take care not to rename or delete pages without taking care of all those pages that link to them | 09:06 |
| mpt | and maybe consult the doc mailing list before making major changes | 09:06 |
| mpt | but otherwise, any improvements welcome :-) | 09:06 |
| fergus | i think i'll start off with adding stuff at first rather than removing things :) that way i cnt mess things up! | 09:06 |
| mpt | fair enough | 09:07 |
| fergus | still kinda getting to grips with the open nature of everything | 09:08 |
| mdke | fergus: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide - and welcome aboard | 09:09 |
| fergus | thanks :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OfficeApplications?highlight=%28OfficeApplications i added the abiword bit today | 09:10 |
| fergus | i just followed what was there for the other apps but tbh they could all do with some fleshing out so i might take a look at that later | 09:11 |

| Genius16 | hello | 11:28 |
| Genius16 | im interested in making a contribution to the screencast section of the ubuntu documentation. | 11:31 |
| popey | excellent | 11:31 |
| popey | welcome | 11:31 |
| popey | have you seen our wiki pages? | 11:31 |
| Genius16 | yeah. im skimming a bit now. | 11:31 |
| Genius16 | taking a look at the /requests | 11:32 |
| popey | cool | 11:32 |
| popey | excellent | 11:32 |
| popey | if you think of any that you think we might make, by all means add them as per the instructions at the bottom of that page | 11:32 |
| Genius16 | im an enlightenment guy myself, but on my laptop im using ubuntu with xfce. would you perfer me to create screencasts with gnome and/or kde? | 11:32 |
| popey | not at all | 11:33 |
| Genius16 | im a bit more interested in creating said screen casts, if possible. | 11:33 |
| popey | we need xfce people :) | 11:33 |
| Genius16 | thatd be me. no different than gnome really. | 11:33 |
| popey | I only really know gnome, not xfce | 11:33 |
| Genius16 | its basically the same, uses the gtk libs. | 11:34 |
| Genius16 | without most of the bulk. though still bulky. check out enlightenment sometime. its great. | 11:34 |
| popey | I have seen E17 | 11:34 |
| popey | It's not my thing :) | 11:34 |
| popey | I can see why people like it though | 11:34 |
| Genius16 | yeah its not some problems. a few bugs. cant wait till it goes into release status | 11:34 |
| Genius16 | yeah e16 is super stable. when e17 gets that way that will bore a new era of linux desktops | 11:35 |
| Genius16 | most of the "to allocate" sectioned screen casts i have the knowledge to complete myself. | 11:36 |
| Genius16 | the ones that need specifications, im fairly sure i could write specs and complete them as well. | 11:36 |
| Genius16 | but, im not a part of your team so i wouldnt know if it would be correct. nor know where to submit it. | 11:36 |
| mdke | Genius16: you are now | 11:37 |
| popey | That's great that you feel you have something to offer | 11:37 |
| popey | I'd love to see all those specs written | 11:37 |
| Genius16 | it'll look good on my resume:) | 11:37 |
| popey | but equally I would love to punch out a load more screencasts | 11:37 |
| Genius16 | yeah. | 11:38 |
| popey | I just don't have the time to do both, which is where people like you come in :) | 11:38 |

| mdke | sure | 11:38 |
| Admiral_Chicago | mdke: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/ChangeDefaultOS | 11:39 |
| Admiral_Chicago | not sure how to fix it I read the formatting page and I've fixed other wiki heades | 11:39 |
| Admiral_Chicago | headers* | 11:39 |
| Genius16 | pope: im here all night. ill see if i can work on some specs of the non spec'd screen cast ideas. id have to submit them to you (or whoever) in plain text. my html skills died in the days of notepad. | 11:40 |
| mdke | Admiral_Chicago: what's the problem? | 11:40 |
| mdke | oh, i see | 11:41 |
| Admiral_Chicago | the headers are wrong aren't they? | 11:41 |
| mdke | you need the same number of = signs on each side. so | 11:41 |
| mdke | = First Level Heading = | 11:41 |
| mdke | == Second Level Heading == | 11:41 |
| mdke | and so on | 11:41 |
| Admiral_Chicago | well finding the line for one. | 11:41 |
| mdke | also, don't leave any spaces after the = sign at the end of the line | 11:41 |
| mdke | and you should be all set | 11:42 |
| Admiral_Chicago | yes I know, but if i do = first level = and such...maybe it's the spacing | 11:42 |
| mdke | I can see you've got the wrong number of = signs there | 11:42 |
| mdke | = Open in a Text Editor == <-- | 11:43 |
| Admiral_Chicago | yes, I edited those now, can you take a look at the actual code now | 11:43 |
| Admiral_Chicago | code/ wiki formatting whatever its called | 11:43 |
| mdke | looks fine now, doesn't it? | 11:44 |
| Admiral_Chicago | okay, one more question. Does the wiki show a box with headers only on pages with multiple header levels | 11:45 |
| mdke | you mean a table of contents? | 11:45 |
| Admiral_Chicago | yes | 11:45 |
| mdke | (these are headings by the way, rather than headers) | 11:45 |
| mdke | you need to insert the table of contents yourself | 11:46 |
| mdke | you can copy the code from another page | 11:46 |
| mdke | popey: I've had several pingbacks so far btw, the news is spreading the net | 11:47 |
| popey | yeah | 11:49 |
| popey | we made the front page of digg | 11:49 |
| popey | I told you that i think, sorry | 11:49 |
| popey | I repeat myself quite a bit :) | 11:49 |
| popey | is there a way to dump out the current scroll buffer in irssi to a file? | 11:50 |

| Admiral_Chicago | the last thing I saw was "i can grab the code of another page" before my computer rebooted on it's own. | 11:54 |
| mdke | right, that was the answer yeah | 11:54 |
| Admiral_Chicago | the Contents was created when I did multiple headings | 11:55 |
| Admiral_Chicago | on the /Responses pages. | 11:55 |
| mdke | no, it's created by this code: | 11:56 |
