etchian_If we GFDL Ubuntu documentation derivative, would that meet your License criteria, Admiral_Chicago?03:02
etchian_I want to build on your documentation if the license allows it, but we gfdl our documentation.03:02
omgponiezloli'm definetly not the man to answer that question. as far as i know, doc work is CC SA license03:02
etchian_Ok.  I am no license pro either.  I just write doc.03:03
=== jjesse [n=jjesse@216.132.62.5] has joined #ubuntu-doc
omgponiezloli just proof read...lol03:03
etchian_I do that to :-)03:04
etchian_Looks like doc is pretty decentralized, in Ubuntu.  Am I right?03:05
tonyyarussoetchian_: well, there's the doc team coordinating it all, but things come in from all over, ya03:06
etchian_The doc team, is that Corey's department?03:07
jjessecorey does some work yeah03:07
etchian_Well, looks like Google will be the best line of attack...03:08
etchian_Thanks for the information, guys.03:09
nixternaletchian_: our docs are CC-by-SA, so in order to re-use our docs you would have to license your docs CC-by-SA as well03:13
omgponiezlolnixternal: in the kubuntu >> games doc, there is a link for planet tux racer03:15
omgponiezlolthe link was dead by last compile03:15

CIA-4Ubuntu Documentation: nixternal * r3928 kubuntu/basic-concepts/C/basic-concepts.xml: Freddy's patch03:27
nixternalAdmiral_Chicago: what are you working on now?03:27
Admiral_Chicagonixternal: games patch03:27
nixternalgames?03:27
Admiral_Chicagolast one for the night03:27
Admiral_Chicagoyea two small edits03:27
nixternalgames shouldn't be all that bad since it has been worked on by many03:27
Admiral_Chicagonope, it was a punctuation thing.03:28
nixternalhey, Kubuntu includes more than 1,000 pieces of software, it has access to over 20,000 :)03:29
Admiral_Chicagowhat did I say?03:30
Admiral_Chicagooh i see, hmm. either way, the fix was needed for one or the other03:30
Admiral_Chicagoi think03:31
nixternalAdmiral_Chicago: don't worry so much about word wrapping. grammar and spell checking is what needs fixing03:32
Admiral_Chicagookay, it looked all good to me. See me remove the "however" in one.03:33
nixternaladd-applications and about-kubuntu files didn't seem to have any grammar or spell checking really done on them03:33
nixternalya, I seen that03:33
Admiral_Chicagookay i'll keep that in mind.03:33
nixternalright now, it would be best to try and grab the super obvious03:33
=== Admiral_Chicago has a major test tomorrow
Admiral_Chicagoafk03:33
Admiral_Chicagowill do.03:34
nixternalalthough we need to take it up a notch because I know Caroline Ford is chomping at the bits to report bug after bug on these docs03:34
jjessenixternal: i'm finishing the chpt today03:34
jjesseso i can focus tomorrow03:34
jjesseright now i'm upgrading to feisty03:34
jjessehopefully it works03:34
jjesseonly 3 hours and 5 minutes remaining03:35
nixternalhehe, Feisty has been crashing for me the past couple of days, right in the middle of something as well03:35
nixternalI am sure it is probably residual leftovers from the updates during the entire dev cycle03:35
nixternaljjesse: as long as I have the xml2po's done by Thursday we are good :)03:36
jjessegood03:36
Admiral_Chicagonixternal: what time thursday?03:36
nixternalAdmiral_Chicago: when I say so I am thinking03:36
nixternalI can probably get an extra day or 2 out of it anyways as well03:36
jjesseso here's a fun fact, i got a note yesterday at the hotel that they will be doing maintenence and water will be unavailable from 10am to 4pm03:36
jjesseand the water is still off03:36
jjesse:(03:36
nixternalI will try to extend a week due to some of the herd releases being late03:37
nixternaljjesse: that sucks!03:37
Admiral_Chicagoi can help during the morning / early afternoon.03:37
nixternalI will be doing a little tomorrow, then I am gone all evening tomorrow03:37
Admiral_Chicagoor i'm on break this Friday. mucho tiempo para Ubuntu03:37
nixternalheh, Admiral_Chicago to bad the dev cycle is pretty much over with now :)03:38
Admiral_Chicagoeither way, msg me and I'll help03:38
Admiral_Chicagoya i was on break while it was starting and busy as a bee during the real work03:38
nixternalI am going to take classes through the summer, to bad IT wise their courses suck, so I am going to take an ASP.NET class, Java class, Philosophy and Ethics, and my 3rd class I haven't figured out just yet03:39
nixternalI was going to do the Advanced C++ course, but I am going to wait until the fall semester for that03:39
Admiral_Chicagoblah, .Net03:40
Admiral_Chicagomy first language...03:40
nixternaljjesse: hey, for that Konqueror Handbook bug that I thought I fixed, well it seems we reconfigure Konqi not to have Go and Window in the menubar, so if you want, you can create a patch against kdebase for Kubuntu03:40
nixternalthat is the only way to fix the problem, it isn't an upstream issue, which is odd, because SuSE and Fedora remove them as well03:41
jjesseumm i don't know how to create  patch03:41
nixternalso when I checked my other boxes and noticed the same thing03:41
jjesseso can you take the bug and do it?03:41
nixternalI can do it if you would like03:41
nixternalsure, I will rock out03:41
