[08:19] <kwwii> moin moin
[08:22] <Cimi> kwwii,  is south africa a good place?
[08:30] <kwwii> Cimi: it is certainly interesting
[08:31] <kwwii> everything is super cheap
[08:31] <kwwii> but the social climate is a bit wierd
[08:31] <kwwii> the difference between rich and poor is amazingly large
[08:33] <Cimi> also the diffusion of HIV should be very large
[08:42] <kwwii> yeah, from what I have read it is
[08:42] <kwwii> actually, cape town is apparently the "nicest" city, bein atourist town
[08:42] <kwwii> s/atourist/a tourist
[08:43] <kwwii> and we are in the area where mark grew up ;)
[17:06] <tretle1> when will themes be taken out of jaunty and replaced with the new pack with dust and newave
[19:12] <yharrow> tretle, its likely that there will be no new theme for jaunty.
[19:12] <yharrow> tretle, I've tried to get some info, but all I've found out that decision making on designs and themes is largely a closed process at this point.
[19:14] <yharrow> canonical is working on streamlining the design process though. So even if there is no new eyecandy for this release, I'd expect that we can look forward to some improvements in the next one Karmic Koala
[20:43] <dilomo> thorwil:  you here
[20:45] <thorwil> dilomo: yes
[20:46] <dilomo> i have found some time to revamp
[20:46] <dilomo> the text focus
[20:46] <dilomo> what do yo think
[20:46] <dilomo> http://img5.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=screenshotthewidgetfact.png
[20:47] <thorwil> dilomo: looks balanced no
[20:47] <thorwil> now, even
[20:49] <dilomo> thanks
[20:49] <dilomo> thorwil: what versioun of the theme do you think I should push to ubuntu?
[20:49] <dilomo> 0.7.3 or that you are seeing here?
[20:50] <thorwil> dilomo: you shouldn't ask that
[20:51] <dilomo> why
[20:51] <dilomo> I'm only asking becaues I'm not sure myself
[20:52] <thorwil> like i would know what changed and what reason could exist to push anything bu the latest
[20:53] <dilomo> so you say the latest
[20:53] <dilomo> ?
[20:53] <thorwil> dilomo: no, i'm saying you have to know yourself ;)
[20:53] <dilomo> I konw myself
[20:54] <dilomo> but the new scolls are not displayed good in oo
[20:54] <dilomo> and thus I have to make a special
[20:54] <dilomo> version for ubuntu with scoll arrows and
[20:54] <dilomo> dark menus istead of the default light because of firefox and oo
[20:58] <dilomo> ok
[20:59] <dilomo> I will go t bed now
[20:59] <dilomo> and tomorrow will deside what to do
[20:59] <dilomo> bb
[22:05] <adelie42> I just submitted a patch fixing several bugs, but I don't think I did it right. Anyone willing to help?
[22:06] <_MMA_> adelie42: Where did you submit it?
[22:07] <adelie42> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/example-content/+bug/342362
[22:09] <_MMA_> adelie42: Ahh... THe right people should see it. Unfortunatly, the 1 right person I can think of in here, isn't here.
[22:10] <adelie42> I was checking out this guide: http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr.dev/en/mini-tutorial/index.html and was checking out the source there, but the content was very different. For instance, the Ubuntu case examples are removed. The pdfd were 'broken' and that was part of what I fixed along with a number of typos.
[22:13] <adelie42> are the case uses being removed? I was planning on doing a presentation in the near future and was planning on using that stuff. Sad hear if they are deprecated, especially after taking quite some time to fix it (a lot of that being figuring out how to fix corrupted objects in pdf)
[22:13] <_MMA_> adelie42: See my previous statement.
[22:15] <adelie42> same problem, ok.  Who should I be looking out for if I want to check back later?
[22:16] <_MMA_> adelie42: kwwii is your guy. Maybe not directly but he has more info on that package. He should be around tomorrow.
[22:16] <adelie42> Ok, thanks
[22:16] <_MMA_> Though he appears here now, he is not.
[22:19] <adelie42> In general, if I wanted to be more involved in a project, get on the mailing list, and get the latest development version from bzr. Is that about right? I have been programming for a long time, but this is the first I have ever done more than solo projects for personal needs, so I am feeling kinda lost
[22:20] <_MMA_> adelie42: What exactly do you want to do?
[22:26] <adelie42> In general, I want to get more involved. I am working on developing and teaching a free "introduction to Ubuntu" class at my local library and was looking for help. I came by this package and being inspired by the case studies and noticing a few errors, and seeing a few on launchpad, I decided to take the initiative and fixed them. I would like to know that I put my patch into the right usable format as mentioned, but I would like to improve my p
[22:27] <_MMA_> adelie42: But /what/ do you want to do? :) Ubuntu is too big to be "generally" involved.
[22:31] <adelie42> ha ha, true. I would like to find a few projects within my current programming skill level, fix bugs triaged on launchpad, and use that experience to improve my programming skills. Fixing several broken pdf files and spelling errors was what I did today.
[22:35] <adelie42> Before this week I was spending a lot of time on ubuntuforums helping people. I love debugging. It is like a puzzle, and it is useful. But fixing bugs alone without getting a patch to anyone is not very useful to anyone.
[22:37] <adelie42> Is apt-get source foo only useful for fixing bugs for myself and bzr for development versions if I want to make an upstream contribution?
[22:37] <_MMA_> adelie42: Sorry, atm, I'm spending time with the fam. This doesn't seem the right channel for you but if you hang out I, or someone can point you in a better direction.
[22:37] <_MMA_> adelie42: Maybe ask a little in #ubuntu-devel.
[22:37] <_MMA_> But realize it's friday and alot of the world is on break time.
[22:38] <adelie42> thank you. I appreciate you taking some of your break time. I'll check out ubuntu-devel
