[01:18] <nixternal> mdke: rock on!!
[06:38] <tonyyarusso> nixternal: Do you know of good references for terms of FLOSS licenses?
[06:44] <LaserJock> tonyyarusso: what do you mean by terms?
[06:45] <tonyyarusso> LaserJock: True/False for allows modification, allows redistribution, allows commercial use, requires attribution, etc.
[06:45] <LaserJock> you'd have to look at the licenses themselves I think
[06:45] <LaserJock> they are pretty diverse
[06:45] <tonyyarusso> Righto
[06:46] <LaserJock> FSF is pretty good
[06:46] <tonyyarusso> That just confirms what I thought then.  I'm going to _attempt_ to change that - my goal is to make a tool where you select the checkboxes for the terms you want applied to your code, and it recommends a license.
[06:54] <tonyyarusso> LaserJock: Any thoughts/suggestions?
[07:14] <LaserJock> tonyyarusso: might be better as a webpage
[07:15] <tonyyarusso> LaserJock: I'm still pondering it's form.  Ideally there would be both web and onboard versions, which of course is twice as much work, but hey.
[07:15] <tonyyarusso> *its
[07:16] <LaserJock> well, I suppose if you wrote it as a python backend it'd be pretty easy to do web and app frontends
[07:16] <tonyyarusso> Yeah?  How do web frontends to python work?
[07:16] <LaserJock> you just use mod_python
[07:17] <LaserJock> revu is python
[07:17] <LaserJock> for instance
[07:18] <tonyyarusso> So as long as the web host has that enabled, it works.
[07:18] <tonyyarusso> hmm
[07:18] <LaserJock> well, there's web specific stuff that'd need to be written
[07:19] <LaserJock> but it's all done in python
[07:19] <tonyyarusso> Cool
[07:28] <Madpilot> The Creative Commons folks have a chooser like that - answer a series of questions about what rights you want to release/keep over the work, it'll suggest CC lics for you
[07:28] <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, ^^^
[07:28] <robotgeek> howdy folks
[07:29] <Madpilot> evening robotgeek
[07:29] <robotgeek> how you been, Madpilot ?
[07:29] <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: I saw that the other day - seemed to only include the CC ones though
[07:29] <Madpilot> robotgeek, good, busy, not doing any -doc stuff beyond hanging out here
[07:29] <robotgeek> i'm off too, work is too busy
[07:29] <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, yeah, it's CC specific - there is a CC'd GPL license, though
[07:30] <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: 'k.  I'm hoping to cover all 100 or so the FSF, OSI, and CC mention.
[07:31] <Madpilot> very ambitious!
[07:32] <tonyyarusso> Yep - expect it to take me a long, long time :S
[07:33] <Madpilot> I'm trying to gin up a script to scrape Transport Canada pages to create PDFs of the Aviation Regulations, actually... TC's site is a mess, though...
[11:11] <mdke> Laser_away: can you give me details of what docs should be included in the topics for edubuntu and where in the list they should appear?

[03:48] <mdke> Admiral_Chicago: no I believe kubuntu has that fixed
[04:06] <mdke> I've written to him off list to try and improve things
[04:06] <mdke> looks like he's keen to contribute so let's hope we can sort that out!
[04:07] <nixternal> mornin'
[04:07] <nixternal> Admiral_Chicago: no that doesn't affect us. thanks to Jonathan Jesse :)

[09:46] <nixternal> what is the trick to get the DRAFT removed? I made all docs status="complete" yet the DRAFT is still showing up
[09:49] <nixternal> nevermind, kubuntu-chunk.xsl has draft.mode set to yes instead of either no or maybe
[09:51] <CIA-4> Ubuntu Documentation: nixternal feisty * r3966 /kubuntu/libs/kubuntu-chunk.xsl: setting draft.mode to no - removes DRAFT from docs
