| rjian | hello beuno | 07:42 |
|---|---|---|
| rjian | hello guys | 07:51 |
| rjian | hello boredandblogging | 08:19 |
| Mirv | it'd be nice to get some real pieces of information.. whether the embargo is truly now lifted, and whether it's recommended to distribute the press releases now or on Thursday | 08:36 |
| hubuntu | is the release available in Spanish at the moment? | 10:14 |
| rjian | hello jenda | 10:39 |
| Mirv | hubuntu: there has been no feedback from the marketing team regarding which translations have been received or will they be made available somewhere | 10:40 |
| rjian | hello Mirv | 10:40 |
| Mirv | hello rjian, too | 10:41 |
| Mirv | I now also just noticed that we were provided with outdated press releases to be translated | 10:42 |
| hubuntu | Mirv, thanks.. I know there was a work for some languages, i guess the announcement will get posted on thursday in other languages... | 10:42 |
| Mirv | boredandblogging: should we update the outdated translations and send updated to you? | 10:42 |
| hubuntu | really? | 10:42 |
| hubuntu | older, not the like the one at ubuntu.com right now? | 10:42 |
| Mirv | well, looks like, looking at http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-8.04-lts-desktop - there are many quotes that were not in the texts that were sent to me at least | 10:43 |
| rjian | so everyone is busy for the translation :) | 10:43 |
| hubuntu | ok, I guess they changed it at the last minute | 10:43 |
| hubuntu | It's good to have it though as I am working on a presentation for next saturday | 10:43 |
| Mirv | there just has been no information at all to us about anything :( | 10:44 |
| hubuntu | but, come on, we all knew what the features were... They just wrapped it nicely in an announcement | 10:44 |
| hubuntu | ;) | 10:44 |
| Mirv | yep, but there was supposed to be some kind of co-operation and knowledge sharing about when something is released, and also regarding these translations | 10:45 |
| hubuntu | true, I thought it did, but as you said maybe not as 100% as some of us pictured ourselves it would be | 10:48 |
| * rjian does anyone know here about launchpad team "ubuntu media relation"? | 10:51 | |
| Mirv | ok, now I'd have up-to-date Finnish translations, and I'm planning on publishing those widely | 11:42 |
| Mirv | are other LoCoTeams planning it too? | 11:42 |
| hubuntu | boredandblogging, are we supposed to write the translation link into the main page of the UWN or just it the added translations link? | 12:08 |
| hubuntu | boredandblogging, hi :) | 12:08 |
| hubuntu | johnc4510 ? | 12:10 |
| Mirv | people are just too damn busy :) well, I'll spam boredandblogging once again when I put the stuff up at ubuntu-fi.org | 12:15 |
| hubuntu | ;) | 12:19 |
| hubuntu | Mirv, do you know of any resources for Ubuntu chics? | 12:19 |
| Mirv | chics as in women?-) mainly http://ubuntu-women.org/ | 12:19 |
| hubuntu | There are girls in Ecuador trying top get organized and i thought welcoming them to Ubuntu-EC would be a nice starting point for more collaboration | 12:20 |
| hubuntu | we REALLY need more women in this community | 12:20 |
| Mirv | hmm, yep, joining locoteam, and locoteam being receptive would be a good start. mentoring and fellow "chics" can be found from ubuntu-women.org | 12:20 |
| Mirv | hmm, fast one | 12:20 |
| hubuntu | in south America those groups use the term Linux Chix ;) | 12:22 |
| Mirv | hubuntu: after you left, I said: "hmm, yep, joining locoteam, and locoteam being receptive would be a good start. mentoring and fellow "chics" can be found from ubuntu-women.org" | 12:22 |
| hubuntu | that's what i though | 12:22 |
| hubuntu | but it would have to be in Spanish as most people there do not speak English | 12:23 |
| hubuntu | but maybe for those English speaking women is easier to get involed in women @ ubuntu and then use word-of.mouth guerrilla tactics ;) | 12:24 |
| hubuntu | anyway... I'll post that | 12:25 |
| hubuntu | thanks | 12:25 |
| Mirv | yep, there might be Spanish speakers there, too, if one just starts writing Spanish on the ubuntu-women forums or mailing list | 12:28 |
| hubuntu | yeah I have a friend in Spain that's into that I think | 12:30 |
| hubuntu | I'm gonna ask her ;) | 12:30 |
| Mirv | cody-somerville: can locoteams now start publishing our localized press releases. should we sent updated translations to both you and boredandblogging or only the other? | 12:57 |
| cody-somerville | The embargo has been lifted. | 12:58 |
| cody-somerville | And Canonical has published the English version. | 12:58 |
| cody-somerville | LoCo Teams may now begin to publish their translated editions. | 12:58 |
| cody-somerville | Feel free to post a copy on the wiki too if you'd like | 12:58 |
| hubuntu | NICE | 14:07 |
| hubuntu | anyone making it Spanish? | 14:07 |
| hubuntu | embargo? that remains so of my visit to cuba las t summer ;) | 14:08 |
| boredandblogging | think beuno was doing it | 14:12 |
| hubuntu | he seems to be gone or asleep ;) | 14:41 |

| alefteris | is the official cd artwork for hardy available somewhere? it would be nice to be able to print some cds with the official covers for the release parties. thanks | 17:25 |
| hubuntu | beuno no translation in Spanish then? | 17:30 |
| Mirv | Ubuntu Finland has released PDFs of the press release in Finnish :) http://www.ubuntu-fi.org/ (the three links in the top part of the page, two are server/desktop translations vs. ubuntu.com's releases, and the third one is our own) | 18:15 |
| Mirv | they're also been spread to various media in both pdf and txt forms | 18:16 |
| alefteris | Mirv, aren't those suposed to be kept secret till the final release time? | 18:45 |
| Mirv | alefteris: no, it was lifted:14:58 < cody-somerville> The embargo has been lifted. | 18:47 |
| Mirv | alefteris: the English releases are now at ubuntu.com and canonical.com, too | 18:47 |
| alefteris | oh sorry then :| missed that | 18:48 |
| alefteris | is't a bit strange to see release notes two days earlier.. | 18:49 |
| Mirv | alefteris: press releases / marketing works a bit different from eg. release notes.. actual release note will be done on mailing lists etc. of course only when it's really available | 18:50 |
| Mirv | still, I also find it a bit funny to read "8.04 desktop released" :) | 18:50 |
| juliux | alefteris, these press release is for the press so they can write about the real release | 18:51 |
| alefteris | exactly, should be something like "anounsing" | 18:51 |
| alefteris | yeah, those lovely journalist need to be prepared :) | 18:52 |
