[07:42] <rjian> hello beuno 
[07:51] <rjian> hello guys
[08:19] <rjian> hello boredandblogging 
[08:36] <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
[10:14] <hubuntu> is the release available in Spanish at the moment? 
[10:39] <rjian> hello jenda 
[10:40] <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 
[10:41] <Mirv> hello rjian, too
[10:42] <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 I now also just noticed that we were provided with outdated press releases to be translated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 boredandblogging: should we update the outdated translations and send updated to you?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?
[10:43] <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
[10:44] <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> ;)
[10:45] <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
[10:48] <hubuntu> true, I thought it did, but as you said maybe not as 100% as some of us pictured ourselves it would be
[10:51]  * rjian does anyone know here about launchpad team "ubuntu media relation"?
[11:42] <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?
[12:08] <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 :)
[12:10] <hubuntu> johnc4510 ?
[12:15] <Mirv> people are just too damn busy :) well, I'll spam boredandblogging once again when I put the stuff up at ubuntu-fi.org
[12:19] <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/
[12:20] <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
[12:22] <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
[12:23] <hubuntu> but it would have to be in Spanish as most people there do not speak English
[12:24] <hubuntu> but maybe for those English speaking women is easier to get involed in women @ ubuntu and then use word-of.mouth guerrilla tactics ;)
[12:25] <hubuntu> anyway... I'll post that
[12:25] <hubuntu> thanks
[12:28] <Mirv> yep, there might be Spanish speakers there, too, if one just starts writing Spanish on the ubuntu-women forums or mailing list
[12:30] <hubuntu> yeah I have a friend in Spain that's into that I think
[12:30] <hubuntu> I'm gonna ask her ;)
[12:57] <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?
[12:58] <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
[14:07] <hubuntu> NICE
[14:07] <hubuntu> anyone making it Spanish?
[14:08] <hubuntu> embargo? that remains so of my visit to cuba las t summer ;)
[14:12] <boredandblogging> think beuno was doing it
[14:41] <hubuntu> he seems to be gone or asleep ;)
[17:25] <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
[17:30] <hubuntu> beuno no translation in Spanish then?
[18:15] <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)
[18:16] <Mirv> they're also been spread to various media in both pdf and txt forms
[18:45] <alefteris> Mirv, aren't those suposed to be kept secret till the final release time?
[18:47] <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
[18:48] <alefteris> oh sorry then :| missed that
[18:49] <alefteris> is't a bit strange to see release notes two days earlier..
[18:50] <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" :)
[18:51] <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"
[18:52] <alefteris> yeah, those lovely journalist need to be prepared :)
