| Saj0577 | hi jlmc | 00:42 |
| shaunm | j1mc: hey | 00:49 |
| j1mc | hi all | 00:53 |
| j1mc | shaunm: i'm going through some DITA stuff, just checking out sample files. It's not no-brainer kind of stuff. | 00:53 |
| shaunm | j1mc: have you talked to nixternal lately? | 01:11 |
| j1mc | shaunm: he sent me a message today - saying that you and paul were interested in getting people together in august | 01:19 |
| j1mc | he had to run, though, so we didn't get to talk about it. | 01:19 |
| shaunm | j1mc: yeah, so I've gotten a surprisingly decent amount of interest | 01:27 |
| j1mc | cool - what kind of interest? | 01:27 |
| shaunm | so what I'm proposing is bringing maybe 10 people to champaign august 21-23 | 01:28 |
| j1mc | i think i would be free then. | 01:29 |
| j1mc | so you're getting interest from KDE folks? | 01:29 |
| shaunm | well, nexternal was interested | 01:29 |
| shaunm | who else should I be talking to from KDE? | 01:29 |
| shaunm | I talked to the fedora doc team. there was interest there | 01:29 |
| j1mc | oh, no . . . i'm really not sure. ah, ok. that's what i was wanting to know about. | 01:30 |
| shaunm | and I talked to romanofski, who does the gimp help | 01:30 |
| j1mc | what other groups are interested | 01:30 |
| j1mc | cool | 01:30 |
| j1mc | i'm just getting into it, but the DITA stuff . . . it seems pretty complex. | 01:32 |
| shaunm | who else should I be talking to? I thought about opensuse, but I don't know how to get in touch with them | 01:33 |
| j1mc | you know... i think i looked up who packaged DITA for opensuse. maybe that would be someone to start with if we can't find anyone via normal means. | 01:34 |
| j1mc | opensuse's installation of DITA uses the windows scripts for the sample files. | 01:36 |
| j1mc | runbuild.bat | 01:36 |
| j1mc | [echo].... | 01:36 |
| j1mc | shaunm: maybe get in touch with this woman? http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/06/18/open-source-xml-editor-in-sight/ | 01:39 |
| j1mc | hi adamw | 01:39 |
| j1mc | shaunm: this guy seems to be a core doc guy with the opensuse doc team: http://en.opensuse.org/User:Keichwa | 01:46 |
| j1mc | i think all of these folk live in foreign lands, though. | 01:46 |

| ubu-noob | Anyone here to help with a question about the Ubiquity installer slideshow? | 01:51 |
| j1mc | hi ubu-noob ... sorry, i'm not involved with that project. Feel free to just ask your question, though. | 01:53 |
| j1mc | If someone is around to answer, they will. :) | 01:53 |
| ubu-noob | j1mc: thanks, here it goes | 01:53 |
| ubu-noob | I was talking to one of the devs on it | 01:54 |
| ubu-noob | and he feels the slides should be kept to a small size - in terms of screeen real estate | 01:54 |
| ubu-noob | I was wondering why the slides can't be larger | 01:54 |
| ubu-noob | He says it's because the slideshow should work on smaller screens, like netbooks | 01:54 |
| ubu-noob | But they are designing the slides in html/css | 01:55 |
| ubu-noob | so I can't see why you can't use CSS to create a slide style for larger screens, and one for smaller | 01:55 |
| ubu-noob | I myself use the Alternate installer, so I don't even know if the Ubiquity installer itself occupies only a tiny bit of screen real estate | 01:56 |
| j1mc | ubu-noob: sorry i can't help . . . i actually have to go, too. | 01:58 |
| j1mc | they're closing the coffee shop. | 01:58 |
| j1mc | have a good night. :) | 01:58 |
| ubu-noob | j1mc: goodnight | 01:59 |
| ubu-noob | So, anyone else up to answering my question? | 01:59 |
| ubu-noob | Actually, nevermind, I think I found the answer | 02:01 |
| ubu-noob | the Ubiquity installer itself appears in a small window, which they are not wanting to make larger | 02:01 |
| ubu-noob | so that it will still display well on smaller screens like netbooks | 02:02 |
| ubu-noob | that's why even though the slideshow could appear larger | 02:02 |
| ubu-noob | it can't unless the installer spawns a second window | 02:02 |
| ubu-noob | or launches firefox, and opens the slideshow that way | 02:02 |
| adamw | dsas: i saw your comments on my earlier question, thanks. one further question - you said most important stuff should be on help. not wiki. , does that mean the Debugging Procedures pages I was actually interested in should more properly be on help. ? | 08:10 |
