| jjesse | to fix a bug automatically what is the syntax in the bzr commit | 15:06 |
|---|---|---|
| jjesse | is it fixes bug # or what ? | 15:06 |
| jpds | bzr commit --fixes lp:NNNNN | 15:48 |
| Shane_Fagan | mdke: any low hanging fruit not being worked on? | 18:08 |
| mdke | jjesse: as with what jpds said except it's --fixes=lp:NNNN | 19:13 |
| mdke | Shane_Fagan: I'm not sure, to be honest. The best I can suggest is to scour the bug reports :) | 19:14 |
| Shane_Fagan | mdke: Ah I looked but didnt find any that arent being looked at. So I just thought id ask | 19:15 |
| mdke | Shane_Fagan: there might be some more substantial things to get your teeth into; I know that we need better bluetooth documentation, if you happen to be a bluetooth guru :) alternatively perhaps you could help out with Kelvin's newtoubuntu plans | 19:16 |
| * bencrisford__ would like some low hanging fruit too mdke :) | 19:18 | |
| Shane_Fagan | mdke: the newtoubuntu stuff sounds right up my alley | 19:18 |
| Shane_Fagan | KelvinGardiner: Is there anything I can help you with the newtoubuntu docs? | 19:19 |
| mdke | awesome | 19:19 |
| mdke | Shane_Fagan: if he isn't around on irc, maybe send an email | 19:19 |
| Shane_Fagan | Ah whats the address? | 19:19 |
| KelvinGardiner | I'm here | 19:20 |
| Shane_Fagan | Oh good | 19:20 |
| bencrisford__ | the mailing list is at ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com | 19:20 |
| bencrisford__ | but i see you dont need it now :) | 19:20 |
| KelvinGardiner | Shane_Fagan: I've put a draft spec at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KelvinGardiner/NewToUbuntuDocs (I was just getting the address) | 19:20 |
| bencrisford__ | KelvinGardiner: I'll help out too if you like | 19:21 |
| KelvinGardiner | Have a look a let me know what you would like to do. | 19:22 |
| Shane_Fagan | KelvinGardiner: Thanks ill have a look | 19:22 |
| KelvinGardiner | bencrisford__: cool | 19:22 |
| bencrisford__ | so its a section of the system docs for karmic | 19:22 |
| bencrisford__ | ? | 19:22 |
| Shane_Fagan | bencrisford__: Yes | 19:23 |
| KelvinGardiner | bencrisford__: Yes. Its all the docs for new users. Some other section of the system docs may need expanding as well. | 19:23 |
| bencrisford__ | ah, cool | 19:23 |
| bencrisford__ | KelvinGardiner: How does a section about emulation software sound to you? | 19:25 |
| bencrisford__ | because I could do that | 19:25 |
| KelvinGardiner | One thing I'd like to sort out is the structure of the moving from windows / os x to Ubuntu pages. I think a FAQ will be best. | 19:25 |
| KelvinGardiner | bencrisford__: wine? | 19:25 |
| Shane_Fagan | KelvinGardiner: I could do 6.1 Commons Applications+ | 19:25 |
| bencrisford__ | KelvinGardiner: For using windows applications in ubuntu | 19:26 |
| Shane_Fagan | bencrisford__: Thats wine | 19:26 |
| bencrisford__ | i know | 19:26 |
| bencrisford__ | thats what im explaining :) | 19:26 |
| bencrisford__ | lol, im confused :P | 19:26 |
| KelvinGardiner | Shane_Fagan: ok. Can you add yourself on the wiki page. | 19:26 |
| Shane_Fagan | KelvinGardiner: Sure will do | 19:27 |
| bencrisford__ | KelvinGardiner: Want me to have a look at the moving from windows sections? | 19:27 |
| KelvinGardiner | bencrisford__: A short page on wine would be good. | 19:27 |
| bencrisford__ | i could put about wine in there | 19:27 |
| bencrisford__ | as a sub-section | 19:27 |
| KelvinGardiner | bencrisford__: I'd like to get a list of issues for the moving from windows pages (looking a the forum etc) before starting it. Put if you have any ideas add them to the wiki. | 19:28 |
| bencrisford__ | ok | 19:28 |
| mdke | I think wine is likely to be for more advanced users | 19:28 |
| KelvinGardiner | bencrisford__: I've had a quick chat with the beginners team about the winodws page and want to talk to them again. | 19:29 |
| mdke | it's not so much for people who are new to Ubuntu | 19:29 |
| bencrisford__ | ok | 19:29 |
| bencrisford__ | well if there is any section you want me to help with, im always on here | 19:29 |
| KelvinGardiner | bencrisford__: ok, keep an eye on the mailing list. I'll be sending updates to it. | 19:31 |
| bencrisford__ | olk | 19:31 |
| bencrisford__ | ok* | 19:31 |
| Shane_Fagan | KelvinGardiner: I may need some help with the mac OS equivalents of the programs | 19:34 |
| KelvinGardiner | Shane_Fagan: ok, I have a macbook, but I've not used os x for some time. I can boot it and check the names of the apps. | 19:36 |
| Shane_Fagan | KelvinGardiner: Cool | 19:37 |
| Shane_Fagan | KelvinGardiner: Ill make a table with columns for ubuntu windows and mac. Ill list the programs and their equivalents on each platform. I have one question though. Should I include Banshee in the list or should I just mention the default programs? | 19:46 |
| KelvinGardiner | Shane_Fagan: I think it best just include default apps. But, I think there is session on including Banshee as the default music player at the Karmic UDS. | 19:48 |
| Shane_Fagan | Id be a +1 for that but I cant go :( | 19:49 |
| Shane_Fagan | Ok its in progress I might have some of it done by tomorrow | 19:49 |
| KelvinGardiner | Shane_Fagan: Are you writing it in docbook? If so I've set up a bzr branch on lp you can push to. | 19:51 |
| Shane_Fagan | KelvinGardiner: Yep, ill research it first and then write it up in docbook. Whats the lp branch ? | 19:52 |
| KelvinGardiner | Shane_Fagan: https://code.launchpad.net/~kelvingardiner/+junk/newtoubuntu | 19:53 |
| KelvinGardiner | Shane_Fagan: I've not hosted a branch on lp before. I think I have to approve the push. If it doesn't work let me know. | 19:54 |
| Shane_Fagan | KelvinGardiner: Ok ill get back to you when I have something | 19:54 |
| KelvinGardiner | ok, thanks for helping out. | 19:55 |
| mdke | KelvinGardiner: if the branch is owned by you, which it is in that case, then only you can push to it | 19:57 |
| KelvinGardiner | mdke: Can I not subscribe someone else to it? | 19:58 |
| Shane_Fagan | KelvinGardiner: Even if you subscribe to it you cant upload to it unless you own it | 19:59 |
| mdke | KelvinGardiner: in launchpad subscribe just means that they get emails with the changes that are made, not a right to push to it | 19:59 |
| mdke | KelvinGardiner: you could change the ownership of it to ~ubuntu-doc, but see my email of today about that | 19:59 |
| KelvinGardiner | mdke: What about if I get patches and apply them to my branch. Is this a better solution? | 20:01 |
| Shane_Fagan | That would work | 20:02 |
| mdke | KelvinGardiner: that would probably work better because then you can review the patches, and you will be a kind of gatekeeper for contributions to the work | 20:02 |
| mdke | then, all we need to do is to review the quality of the end product | 20:02 |
| KelvinGardiner | mdke: ok, sounds sensible, thanks. | 20:03 |
