sommerhey kgoetz02:25
AndrewTheArtwhich in turn tells me to go here02:26
AndrewTheArtI probably misread it02:26

sommerhey all, has there been any thought of the doc team doing a session at open week?18:00
LaserJocksommer: we did one I remember for the first open week, not sure about last time18:34
sommerah, I don't remember seeing one last time.18:43
sommerjust wondering since it seems there a lot of new mentees lately :-)18:43
LaserJockyeah, but we have to have somebody to run it18:43
LaserJockand really if we have mentees maybe we don't need open week so much?18:44
sommerheh, that has some logic to it18:44
LaserJockI doubt anybody in the doc team would object to a session, but I'm not sure if we really need it as bad as other teams18:47
awen_anyone know if it is too late for adding a new translational string? ... just came across a string that wasn't marked for translation22:56
crimsunmdke: ^22:57
crimsunawen_: I don't think it's too late, since you're referring to a KDE app, yes?22:58
awen_crimsun: kde-app, yes. guidance-power-manager to be exact22:59
crimsunawen_: I'd hang around for either mdke or LaserJock.  (See also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationStringFreeze and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline)23:00
LaserJockI'm not really sure either23:01
crimsunI don't think NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline is applicable here, since we're not speaking of a menu entry23:01
LaserJockwhat's the specific thing we're talking about?23:02
crimsun17:52        awen_ > ScottK: any reason why we are translating (i18n) "charging" but not "discharging" in g-p-m ... to late to fix that?23:02
awen_crimsun: but it wouldn't be a regression ... if it isn't translated it will appear in english (as in the code) right?23:02
awen_LaserJock: ^^23:02
LaserJockso that's in the g-p-m package right?23:02
crimsunawen_: correct23:03
crimsunLaserJock: correct23:03
LaserJockseems like that would be a low-risk bug fix23:03
LaserJockI wouldn't think there would be a freeze on that right now23:05
LaserJockyou aren't changing the documentation23:05
awen_i don't really know how the black magic works ... from using the i18n-function in python to the translation file23:05
LaserJockjust making  it available for translation23:05
awen_LaserJock: not in any way ... just adding i18n around a string23:05
crimsun(I guess technically it's the kde-guidance source)23:05
awen_crimsun: yeah23:05
LaserJockI certainly don't see anything wrong with fixing that23:06
LaserJockand you might want to email the ubuntu-translators list once the .pot has been imported to help get that string as well translated as possible23:07
awen_LaserJock: okay... i'll go ahead then23:07
LaserJockI think the relavent freeze here is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LanguagePackTranslationDeadline23:07
LaserJockcrimsun: would you agree?23:07
LaserJockwhich is the 17th23:08
crimsunLaserJock: that's what I would think23:08
awen_okay ... so no the translation teem should be aware of last minute changes like this, eg. no need to email them?23:09
LaserJockI would email them just to make sure23:10
LaserJockdoesn't hurt to give them a "heads up"23:10
awen_LaserJock: okay ... ubuntu-translation@l.u.c ?23:10
LaserJockawen_: I think it's ubuntu-translators23:25
LaserJockbut you can check lists.ubuntu.com to make sure23:25
awen_LaserJock: you were correct ... thanks for taking your time23:27
LaserJockno problem, thanks for looking into the issue23:29
