[12:21] I managed to get good fonts in emacs [12:21] had to get emacs packages from theCore [12:22] hmm, I'll have to think about "screencast of terminal" vs "CLI log" [12:23] hmm, theCore has the goods ey [12:23] I will have to contact him and see what is so special about his [12:23] I have all of he syntax highlighting and what not. The Chicago GNU/LUG gave me a ton of pointers [12:23] PIZZAS HERE!!! [12:23] he compiles with some flage [12:23] and then I run emacs --enable-font-backend --font "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-12" [12:42] nixternal: you running edgy or fiesty? === poningru [n=poningru@adsl-074-245-140-197.sip.gnv.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === j1mc [n=j1m@adsl-75-21-84-63.dsl.chcgil.sbcglobal.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [01:25] LaserJock: feisty [01:26] hmm [01:26] I've got edgy .debs for emacs [01:27] No fonts match `Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-12' [01:27] that's what I get when I try to run it that way [01:28] yeah [01:28] you have to recompile it with some font support thing enabled [01:28] xfont support I believe [01:28] don't know why our package wouldn't have it [01:29] I think there might be a reason Debian doesn't do it, not sure [01:38] nixternal: the other thing is I usually run emacs in a terminal anyway [01:41] I was doing the same, but having it opened in another window is nice [01:42] I just use a seperate terminal window when I want to do that [01:42] the only thing is I'm not good enough with emacs to do without the menu for certain things [01:44] ahh, I remove the menus, scrollbars and what not from .emacs [01:44] it forces you to become proficient with the meta keys [01:44] Ctrl-x Ctrl-f to open a file [01:44] Ctrl-x Ctrl-s to save [01:44] Ctrl-x Ctrl-c to close [01:44] that is all I need right now :) [01:44] well, I can do those fine [01:44] it's just specialty menus that some modes add [01:44] oh, and Alt+q == hard word wrap === theCore [n=alex@ubuntu/member/theCore] has joined #ubuntu-doc [02:56] theCore: hi!

[10:17] philippbieber: rock on! [10:17] there are pleny of places to start. is there any one section that you are fairly proficient with? [10:17] I could offer translating the docu to German, is there any need for that? [10:18] there will be that need come next month for sure [10:18] March 8th is when we submit the docs to the translation teams [10:18] OK, I'll mark that date for me [10:19] From those points mentioned in your mails, I think I could do some work on Desktop Configuration [10:20] let me take a look and see what all needs some working there [10:20] OK! [10:21] hrmm, I need to remove a bunch of stuff from it, i.e., Networking, partitions and booting [10:21] when I think of "configuring your desktop", I think of customizing the look of it and what not [10:21] Wallpapers, Themes, Icons,... [10:21] me too [10:22] philippbieber: exactly [10:22] Also something like the 3D desktop? [10:22] there seems to be one section called "Desktop Tips" [10:22] 3d desktop? please don't say Beryl or Compiz :) [10:22] it's probably a good idea to cover that actually, it will be a popular task [10:22] mdke: when it works :) [10:22] I'd love to say Metisse, but yeah, that's what I had in mind ... [10:23] nixternal: there are lots of different degrees of "works" [10:23] I didn't have any problems with it ... =/ [10:23] mdke: true, if we document it, document it for NVidia cards only then [10:23] Beryl doesn't work with ATI, and works here and there with Intel [10:23] Then I'd be no good choice for 3D or I'd have to do something for INTEL [10:23] and with NVidia cards, they have to be of the newer generation cards [10:24] philippbieber: are you using Beryl on an Intel? === nixternal is using integrated Intel and was interested in playing with Beryl [10:25] but as it stands, I have 2 standalone desktops, 1 NVidia GF4 and 1 ATI Radeon 9700, Beryl will not run on either of those [10:25] I have a INTEL GMA 950 and it worked out of the box and flawlessly with Beryl (under Edgy [10:25] ) [10:25] rock on, I guess I am slowly working up the nerve to install it and configure it [10:25] the sad thing, the ATI issues with Beryl are ATI's fault for not allowing composite [10:26] It's not hard... I used the Beryl Upstream Repos and from there I installed the current version [10:26] as for NVidia, they made a lot of their cards like the GF4 and older part of the legacy driver, which Beryl won't support [10:26] I installed it, launched it and it worked [10:26] nice [10:26] on my girlfriends laptop it was the same [10:26] I guess I will work on trying it out here one of these days [10:27] but I'm afraid, its not too productive [10:27] ... [10:27] ya, that is the one thing I dislike about it [10:27] You can always disable it ;-) [10:27] right now, I am having issues with VMware and installing vmware-tools, and I was going to try Virtualbox but that doesn't work either [10:28] Can't help you on that one.. I was planning to do that when I got some spare time... [10:29] Oh, one question for the documentation: Should I take the 6.10 documentation and addapt it to 6.14 or rewrite it? [10:31] https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk [10:31] that is all of the 7.04 documentation [10:31] it was branched/created from the 6.10 documentation === jenda [n=jenda@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-doc [10:32] OK, I'll use that as a basis and the adapt it to 6.14 [10:32] *7.04 [10:32] heh, ya, 7.04 [10:33] 'Till when should I turn in the results? [10:33] whenever you have something really, we have less than a month to go now, so the sooner the better [10:34] OK, I'll take my time this week! [10:34] cool, if you need help, I am around quite a bit, plus there are others in here that can offer a hand [10:35] Mon-Thu I am in school all day, but I check in from time to time [10:35] But I gotta go now (have to get up early tomorrow) [10:35] brb, need to take the dog out so he will leave me alone :) [10:35] cool philippbieber, I really appreciate the offer!

[11:20] well, mostly I like the idea of not being so tied to the ubuntu-docs release schedule [11:20] if I make the packaging guide release neutral it really shouldn't matter [11:21] maybe I'm just being lazy ;-) [11:21] you mean in terms of string freezes? [11:21] would a lot change from relase to release for the packaging guide [11:22] I don't see that there is any release schedule that applies to ubuntu-docs that doesn't also apply to the packaging guide, tbh [11:22] jjesse: I hope to make it very release neutral. Basically it should reflect the "this is what we are doing right now" [11:22] mdke: well, that's fairly true [11:23] but I don't know that it makes sense for me to have a "edgy" packaging guide or "feisty" packaging guide [11:23] rather packaging guide version 1.2 or 2.3, etc. [11:23] at least that's how the Debian docs are done [11:23] can't you do that with a single source package? [11:24] except I'm tied to the ubuntu-doc releases [11:24] really? in terms of numbers? [11:24] I can't make a release of the packaging guide without making a release of ubuntu-docs [11:24] well, ubuntu-docs releases are just time snapshots [11:24] I don't see that being a problem still [11:25] well, it depends on how we treat it [11:25] if I get the developer's reference going it would probably work fine [11:25] the thing I'm finding is that we need more policy/reference type documentatoin [11:26] and that needs more version contol, IMO [11:26] if I just had the "learning how to create Debian/Ubuntu packages" that wouldn't be bad [11:26] once it's basically done it shouln't change much [11:26] ok, so maybe a separate package. It sounds like a shame though, we already have too many debian directories [11:27] it would be nice to have em all single source :) [11:27] yes, I honestly hadn't thought of just building a seperat binary from the ubuntu-docs source [11:28] I actually think that would be the way to go [11:28] and *if* needed split off the source down the road [11:29] I tend to think I'll (or somebody anyway) be working on another seperate policy doc [11:29] and we can shift some material to that [11:29] what would go into the separate policy doc? [11:30] anywhere certainly it would work for the server guide? [11:30] anyway* [11:30] I think a lot of this stuff we have on the wiki [11:30] SRUs, etc. [11:30] the server guys didn't respond to my appeal on the bug report to make us a package, and my post to the -server mailing list has never been moderated through the queue. [11:31] crimsun: we *should* have an Ubuntu Developer's Reference [11:31] why does it seem like it is so hard to get developers respond to *-doc requests? [11:31] I'm not sure how much actual policy that would have, but we don't have an Ubuntu Policy planned that I know of [11:31] jjesse: it's not; it's hard to get developers to respond to any requests; that's open source, to some extent [11:32] but they respond quite well to -doc requests, in general. that's my experience [11:32] it shouldn't be hard [11:32] mdke: just noticed your frustration w/ the server mailing list, geting that launcpad bug fixed and a couple of other issues the team has had [11:32] I just don't know if FF would apply [11:32] jjesse: because no curriculum or best practices has emphasized strongly enough the integration of documentation in design and implementation [11:32] it's just that the -server mailing list seems to be totally dead [11:32] jjesse: the server developers are a bit worse than the main ones :) [11:33] LaserJock: who would I ask about that? [11:33] I'll mail fabio maybe [11:33] crimsun: that's too bad [11:33] LaserJock: was there a technical reason we couldn't have just modified Debian's? [11:33] I would tend to think since we are just splitting ubuntu-docs into ubuntu-docs server-guide and packaging-guide [11:33] it wouldn't be a prblem [11:33] right [11:33] no new source, just binary NEW [11:34] crimsun: that was the plan [11:34] yes. I'll take it up with someone tomorrow [11:34] crimsun: although I wanted to do it in docbook rather than debiandoc [11:34] crimsun: there is a docbook version of the DDR but the maintainer doesn't seem to care too much about it [11:35] right, I remember that as the "technical" issue. [11:35] well, back in August I thought it was going to be a wait of a month or two [11:35] LaserJock: we have a few scripts and bits in debian/rules and so on which all depend on having an updated list of the documents that we are shipping; since the topics occasionally change and the list shifts slightly, it would help to be able to have a central file in which to store this list of documents. Is there a simple way to get all the scripts to call from such a list? [11:35] nixternal: ping [11:36] nixternal: what exactly is going to happen w/ kubuntu release notes [11:36] they are going on the website [11:36] ok [11:39] Ubuntu Documentation: mdke * r3793 ubuntu/translate.sh: uploading work-in-progress slightly better translate.sh script [11:39] mdke: ping [11:39] nixternal: (In case I'm not around at the moment, please provide a bit of information about what you want and I will respond when I get back) [11:40] heh [11:40] that was quick [11:40] doh [11:40] I am sorry for that, I forgot about your script [11:40] note also that I said something 5 minutes ago, so I'm likely to be around [11:40] mdke: anywho, you are requested in #ubuntu-meeting [11:40] ok, if it's quick [11:40] whats going on in #ubuntu-meeting [11:41] that would mean I would have to scroll up :) [11:41] jjesse: loco meeting [11:41] oh === MatthewV [n=MatthewV@202.183.115.95] has joined #ubuntu-doc === jenda [n=jenda@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-doc [11:43] mdke: should be easy, maybe put a file in common/ or something with the list [11:44] mdke: in a script you should be able to do something like for doc in `cat ../../common/ubuntu-list` do blah [11:46] LaserJock: and should the doc names be space separated in the file or on a different line? [11:46] I *think* space seperated [11:47] although either might work, but you might have to do it a little differently [11:47] my shell knowledge isn't the best [11:47] crimsun would know [11:51] mdke: either way works [11:51] wow, cool [11:51] I'll pursue that definitely [11:51] we may be edging slowly towards implementing that spec [11:52] mhm, I'll help if I can, just can't promise much these days :/ [11:52] gotta run [11:52] thanks Laser_away === jenda [n=jenda@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-doc === jenda [n=jenda@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-doc === jenda [n=jenda@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-doc === ubuntu_newgal [n=ks@adsl-69-109-255-92.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === jenda [n=jenda@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-doc
