=== kupesoft [n=dave@64.235.206.74] has joined #ubuntu-doc [01:20] nixternal: around? [01:22] yup [01:23] nixternal: did you see mdke's question to me about what items we want on the front page? [01:23] I seen something about it, but I didn't notice the specific items [01:24] are Ubuntu docs getting installed as well? [01:24] yes [01:24] ok, it would be nice to kind of keep their layout, but add like the 3 links to the Edubuntu docs [01:24] Handbook, Release Notes, and School Advocacy? [01:24] that is my opinion on it [01:25] what about About Edubuntu? [01:25] ooh, forgot that one, yes that too [01:26] School Advocacy is a little odd [01:26] then remove that. I wasn't sure on its status [01:27] well, I just think the name is weird [01:28] I think for Feisty+1, Edubuntu docs needs to go TBH, and either keep the handbook for PDF/HTML for say the Wiki or somewhere else, or get rid of it [01:29] they need to hurry up and open up translation for Feisty [01:29] we are coming down to a month left [01:30] I can already see the doc bugs, "docs are translated for my language, or some sections are and some aren't" [01:31] it's not much use to translate stuff if you're just going to have to translate it again [01:32] ok, so do you know how About Edubuntu and Release Notes are doing? [01:33] I never messed with them, so they are probably the same as they always have been [01:34] which means they need to be rewritten :-) [01:34] don't know about rewritted but possibly updated [01:34] can we do that with string freeze [01:35] well, I think it'd pretty large reworking [01:35] those docs are at least 2-3 releases old [01:36] actually with About Edubuntu you are looking at possibly and hours worth of work [01:36] and? [01:36] of about an hours worth of work [01:36] http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/about-edubuntu/C/ [01:37] brb === kupesoft [n=dave@64.235.206.74] has joined #ubuntu-doc === kupesoft [n=dave@64.235.206.74] has joined #ubuntu-doc [01:44] k, back [01:48] ok [01:48] so do you have any time to look at About Edubuntu and Edubuntu Release Notes? [01:50] nixternal: ^^ [02:03] yes [02:03] I am working on Mailody docs for KDE, just getting it started really. I am going to go get some ice cream and then I will work on Edubuntu docs. sound good? [02:04] good [02:04] good deal, I shall return then and get to work on it [02:05] should I work in trunk or feisty branch with this? [02:05] I think working out of the feisty branch will be fine [02:05] LP isn't even open for translations yet [02:10] yeah [02:10] I think Edubuntu won't get much translation this go around [02:10] I think it's more important for use to get decent docs === jjesse [n=jjesse@216.132.62.5] has joined #ubuntu-doc === xipietotec [n=jackfros@cpe-67-49-247-144.dc.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc [03:53] hiya jjesse [03:53] hiya rich [03:54] i think i just sent the last changes/fixes to the book [03:54] i hate hotel living :( [03:56] nixternal: i noticed you didn't have to change the whole universe/multiverse thing [04:00] jjesse: because when you told me about it, I went ahead and made all of the fixes then [04:03] cool [04:06] trying to figure out how i want to setup my laptop [04:06] hmm [04:06] decisions decisions ;-)\ [04:07] yeah unfortnately for work i need windows [04:07] so i need to calculate how i'm going to partition things === boredandblogging [n=asdfasdf@c-24-98-177-125.hsd1.ga.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [04:13] hi guys [04:13] can anyone point me to a non-technical description of Linux and Ubuntu? I would like to put it on our LoCo page. [04:15] the ubuntu.com website doesn't have enough [04:21] more along the lines of if someone doesn't quite know what linux is [04:28] LaserJock: when pronouncing Edubuntu is it ed-oo-boon-too or edu-boon-too [04:28] the proper way I guess [04:29] hmm, I think the 1st one [04:29] think? :) [04:40] hey, they dropped support for PowerPC didn't they? [04:44] official support [04:44] they are still making .isos [04:45] hrmm, I didn't see any for 7.04 [04:46] I think are there [04:46] hmm, I don't see Herd 5 [04:47] maybe it didn't make Herd5 [04:47] but the will be spinning CDs [04:48] ok, that is all I needed to know [04:48] I am almost done with the about doc [04:48] I think you could just say that PPC is community supported [04:50] none of the Edubuntu devs are paid are they? [04:50] Canonical just employs Ubuntu devs, and 1 Kubuntu dev [04:52] no [04:52] Edubuntu technically has more than Kubuntu [04:52] ogra is Canonical [04:53] K, well that is 1 :) [04:53] well, there's also RichEd and willdvl and rodrigo [04:54] OK, true :) [04:55] but ogra is currently the only Edubuntu dev [05:00] Ubuntu Documentation: nixternal feisty * r3968 /edubuntu/about-edubuntu/C/about-edubuntu.xml: complete - review [05:01] LaserJock: there is a new shell to work with, go through and see if you need more added/changed. I am thinking a little more "Education" info possibly [05:02] hrmm, the release notes shouldn't really be packaged should they? I thought that was what the website was for? [05:02] I feel like they should be both, but maybe that's just me [05:02] Ubuntu and Kubuntu aren't shipping release notes [05:03] well, then we can not if you want [05:03] I swore the release notes were supposed to get absorbed into some Ubiquity slideshow [05:03] LaserJock: it is up to you, the almighty Edubuntu and MOTU man [05:03] bah [05:03] haha [05:03] we should ask ogra about ubiquity === Madpilot [n=brian@ubuntu/member/madpilot] has joined #ubuntu-doc === bhuvan [n=bhuvan@ubuntu/member/bhuvan] has joined #ubuntu-doc [06:17] nixternal: hahaha @ planet [06:18] i saw that in akregator [06:18] expected a graphic...

[07:27] nixternal: i really wasn't going to but LaserJock told me to... [07:27] its out of my hands now... [07:27] lol [07:31] 1...6... [07:31] nah i wont because I am asking him a favor === nixternal shuts off phone === LaserJock must find out nixternal's address [07:35] 1600 Pennsylvania Ave [07:35] lol [07:35] haha [07:35] you wish [07:36] 1:30 already [07:36] argh [07:39] (nuts, man. That would be a horrendous address.) [07:39] you could do it! [07:40] imagine the junk mail that goes _there_ [07:40] I want to see Ubuntu dev /President [07:40] no kidding [07:40] I'm guessing the bug reports can be a little more urgent as well ;-) [07:40] err, I have lecture in <4 hours [07:41] blah for not sleeping [07:41] \o? [07:41] err. [07:41] \o/ [07:41] crimsun: what class? [07:41] operating systems [07:42] do you like teaching it? [07:43] fun. they offered that at my school, didn't take it..yet [07:43] yeah, quite fun even if the hour is ungodly [07:43] 8 AM? [07:43] yeah === LaserJock wishes he could teach CS classes [07:44] I don't want to get another PhD though [07:44] one would be quite sufficient [07:44] c'mon, everyone loves insanity [07:44] 8 AM, i forget that hour existed before this semster [07:45] the dept. sys admin ( a CS grad student) wants to teach a "CS for Chemists" class with me [07:45] but we'd need to get people interested [07:46] pizza, semester/quarter stipends, and promises of removing FORTRAN should do it [07:47] FORTRAN rocks [07:47] almost everything we do is Fortran [07:47] it does, but not for Ubuntu ;) [07:48] but we need info on shell scripting and stuff like using python to analyze data [07:48] the sys admin wrote a simple bash/perl script and saved a grad student like a weeks worth of work [07:48] just needed to randomly move some H atoms === Admiral_Chicago [n=Admiral_@adsl-69-209-56-99.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [07:49] Fortran rocks is what i wanted to say [07:51] in it's own way [07:52] not so great for GUIs, IMO [07:52] fortran? get out of here [07:52] c++ rocks [07:53] ocaml [07:53] stuff like that [07:53] Python (once I learn it better) [07:53] definetly not, we have a GUI problem that I'm hacking on right now...that's my break [07:53] fortran is easy and fast [07:53] LaserJock: the 1970's called and said they want their programming language back [07:53] but I prefer my Fortran as a python library [07:53] our grid computer running FORTRAN will destrou you [07:53] oh I forgot, you are a scientist [07:53] yes [07:53] LaserJock: what field? [07:54] fortran was probably the first thing I started to learn in the early 80's [07:54] Physical Chemistry [07:54] nuclear physisisisist at area 51 [07:54] lol [07:54] close [07:54] P Chem, cool. [07:54] BizMgt > all of um [07:54] i half expected "psychology" [07:55] well LaserJock I am thinking of PhD, either CompSci (doubt it), Electrical Engineering (possible), Business (more than likely) [07:55] haha. that's not a science...(people get really mad when I say that) [07:55] do business nixternal! [07:55] more than likely I will [07:55] then go around trying to get people to let them operate on you [07:55] I already have 2.5 degrees in it [07:56] yuck [07:56] I'm doctor nixternal. let's see that pancreas.

I sit here and yell "LOL" all day long [07:58] dude, those text editoes hate dvorak [07:58] jeesh [07:58] yes, they certainly do [07:58] I remember using dvorak for the first time with vim [07:58] that was a nightmare [07:59] yea I just stay away from vim / emacs...thats the final frontier to all out geekdom [07:59] that and Star Trek [08:00] I don't like star trek, and Kate > Emacs && Vim [08:01] gedit FTW!
