[00:39] <j1mc> hi all
[00:42] <Saj0577> hi jlmc
[00:49] <shaunm> j1mc: hey
[00:53] <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.
[01:11] <shaunm> j1mc: have you talked to nixternal lately?
[01:19] <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.
[01:27] <shaunm> j1mc: yeah, so I've gotten a surprisingly decent amount of interest
[01:27] <j1mc> cool - what kind of interest?
[01:28] <shaunm> so what I'm proposing is bringing maybe 10 people to champaign august 21-23
[01:29] <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
[01:30] <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
[01:32] <j1mc> i'm just getting into it, but the DITA stuff . . .  it seems pretty complex.
[01:33] <shaunm> who else should I be talking to?  I thought about opensuse, but I don't know how to get in touch with them
[01:34] <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.
[01:36] <j1mc> opensuse's installation of DITA uses the windows scripts for the sample files.
[01:36] <j1mc> runbuild.bat
[01:36] <j1mc> [echo]....
[01:39] <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
[01:46] <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.

[01:51] <ubu-noob> Anyone here to help with a question about the Ubiquity installer slideshow?
[01:53] <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
[01:54] <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
[01:55] <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
[01:56] <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
[01:58] <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. :)
[01:59] <ubu-noob> j1mc: goodnight
[01:59] <ubu-noob> So, anyone else up to answering my question?
[02:01] <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
[02:02] <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
[08:10] <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. ?
