| Rocket2DMn | "Changing the boot menu timeout" and "Changing the default operating system to boot" | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| XDevHald | Aye, Easy to change boot timeout and moving the default up or down. | 00:01 |
| Rocket2DMn | I havent fiddled with grub2 to write that documentation for grub2 | 00:02 |
| Rocket2DMn | I wonder if we might need a string freeze exception to get that stuff in there | 00:02 |
| Rocket2DMn | unless we can cram it in before the freeze | 00:02 |
| XDevHald | The freeze is on the 1st right? | 00:02 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah | 00:02 |
| XDevHald | If you can get or find me a landing page for Grub2 I can pull up the work and have it done before the 1st | 00:03 |
| Rocket2DMn | here's the bug i filed - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/437446 | 00:03 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 437446 in ubuntu-docs "Need documentation on Grub2" [Undecided,New] | 00:03 |
| Rocket2DMn | there is a link to the Grub2 page on the team wiki | 00:03 |
| Rocket2DMn | afaik, that is the only ubuntu documentation on grub2 right now | 00:04 |
| XDevHald | Yeah I see it. hmmm | 00:04 |
| XDevHald | They already have the Timeout added on the "Errors" sub-menu, pretty self-explanitory. They do not however have Error 15 | 00:05 |
| Rocket2DMn | I don't think we document troubleshooting grub errors in the system documentation | 00:06 |
| Rocket2DMn | there is also stuff about grub in the serverguide which needs to be added to. | 00:06 |
| Rocket2DMn | mdke, I thought you were going to change the title back to my version on the firewall document - "Firewall and network monitoring" | 01:24 |
| Rocket2DMn | not a big deal either way | 01:24 |
| XDevHald | Hey Rocket. I appreciate you guys letting me in the team but I will have to move on as this appears to not be my field of work anymore. | 01:55 |
| Rocket2DMn | XDevHald, sorry to hear that. Why do you feel that way? | 02:09 |
| XDevHald | I have tried to gather my work, and of course having a 1 year old boy and married it is very difficult to even think. | 02:09 |
| Rocket2DMn | XDevHald, if you can't get the grub2 documentation, that's ok | 02:11 |
| Rocket2DMn | we don't normally work in a time crunch like this | 02:11 |
| Rocket2DMn | There is other documentation type work you can do if you want | 02:12 |
| XDevHald | Yeah, I know which is why I found it weird for a gathered doc before freeze. | 02:12 |
| Rocket2DMn | don't worry about that then | 02:12 |
| Rocket2DMn | you can still make changes after string freeze, they just won't go into Karmic, they will go into Lucid | 02:13 |
| XDevHald | Sounds great Rocket. I haven't touched the wiki in 3 years, I'll need a little help (coding I am a guru at) but just guidance on what to do and what is need and where to go from there. | 02:13 |
| Rocket2DMn | you can also do wiki work if you want | 02:13 |
| XDevHald | I'll stick with the wiki work. | 02:13 |
| XDevHald | Sys I'll leave for you guys. | 02:13 |
| Rocket2DMn | sure, that's actually where I do most of my work | 02:13 |
| Rocket2DMn | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Wiki | 02:14 |
| Rocket2DMn | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tag | 02:15 |
| Rocket2DMn | we use tags these days to mark pages that need work | 02:15 |
| XDevHald | Excellent. Now how do I know what needs work and etc. Just need a starting point and I can go from there. | 02:16 |
| Rocket2DMn | each tag section has a link - "List of pages with this tag. " | 02:18 |
| korin43 | Hi, I have to write a short-ish manual for a technical writing class and i was wondering if anyone has an idea. I'm relatively good at this. I could write a manual on packaging, but the updates needed to the packing guide aren't enough to get a good grade in the class. I also thought about kernel compiling, which needs a better manual badly, but I think it would be too complicated for the teacher. | 05:53 |
| Savvy | hi guys | 07:20 |
| Savvy | im a newbie to linux i just wanted to know tht how can i edit my shell? | 07:23 |
| mdke | morning all | 08:42 |
| mdke | korin43: we have a list of current tasks here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/Tasks - if anything takes your fancy, then feel free to contact the mailing list. Some people might already be working on particular items so it's good to contact the list first | 08:44 |
| SpacePigeon | Hi | 08:57 |
| SpacePigeon | I am willing to join the documentation team. | 08:57 |
| SpacePigeon | Is there any project I can start helping on? | 09:00 |
| mdke | SpacePigeon: yes, there is always plenty to do. You should find information about tasks and how to contribute on the pages beginning at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam | 09:05 |
| mdke | SpacePigeon: but feel free to ask any questions if you have any, either here or on the mailing list | 09:05 |
| SpacePigeon | Ok | 09:05 |
| SpacePigeon | I am browsing a Taks wiki page under the DocumentationTeam link, thanks for pointing me to the right direction | 09:05 |
| SpacePigeon | mdke, so, I went into a launchpad bug page. Should I start working on only the "New" items? | 09:07 |
| SpacePigeon | or on the confirmed? | 09:07 |
| mdke | SpacePigeon: either is fine, as long as no one else is working on them | 09:09 |
| SpacePigeon | mdke, nice. Ill start right off.. | 09:10 |
| mdke | SpacePigeon: awesome! | 09:11 |
| SpacePigeon | mdke, is there some way I can filter english and spanish bugs only? | 09:12 |
| mdke | SpacePigeon: all bugs should be in English. If they aren't then we usually close them because we can't understand them as a team | 09:13 |
| mdke | SpacePigeon: the exception to that is bugs in translations which might be in the applicable language | 09:13 |
| SpacePigeon | oh ok... so all tasks for DocumentationTeam are in english... | 09:13 |
| mdke | yep | 09:15 |
| mdke | we also have a lot of translation if you are interested in that; that is managed by the Ubuntu translation teams | 09:16 |
| mdke | they translate Ubuntu software *and* documentation | 09:16 |
| SpacePigeon | Yeah I might join one of those | 09:17 |
| SpacePigeon | Tasks don't seem very well organized in the launchpad buglist | 09:17 |
| SpacePigeon | Yeah I think I might as well start translating documentation | 09:17 |
| mdke | they aren't that organised, unfortunately | 09:18 |
| mdke | the tasks I mean. | 09:18 |
| mdke | have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations for translation info | 09:19 |
| * mdke -> shower | 09:19 | |
| SpacePigeon | mdke, Because you are still here, I notify you that I was working on this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SuspendHowtoNew | 10:35 |

| SpacePigeon | mdke, hi again | 18:19 |
| Zachk18 | hello SpacePigeon | 18:19 |
| SpacePigeon | hi Zachk18 | 18:21 |
| SpacePigeon | yeah, I submitted some documentation draft yesterday, do you want to check it? | 18:21 |
| Zachk18 | ah sure...are you on a doc team? | 18:21 |
| SpacePigeon | http://help.ubuntu.com/community/SuspendHowtoNew | 18:21 |
| SpacePigeon | not yet | 18:21 |
| SpacePigeon | I am volunteering | 18:22 |
| Zachk18 | are you on any teams? | 18:22 |
| missaugustina | SpacePigeon: send an email to the ubuntu-doc mailing list please. | 18:22 |
| SpacePigeon | oh ok | 18:22 |
| SpacePigeon | thats how it works, nice | 18:22 |
| missaugustina | SpacePigeon: Anytime you want to work on something, send an email to the list to let people know. | 18:22 |
| SpacePigeon | Oh I sent one? Maybe the system did | 18:22 |
| missaugustina | SpacePigeon: Someone else might already be working on it. | 18:23 |
| Zachk18 | SpacePigeon, i'll still review it for you. and i'll let you know.. | 18:23 |
| SpacePigeon | missaugustina, yeah, I went into the launchpad tasklist and assigned myself to the bug (is that the correct thing to do?) and then that sent an email to the list | 18:23 |
| missaugustina | SpacePigeon: I didn't see an email from you but I will check again. | 18:23 |
| SpacePigeon | yeah, i'm wolter | 18:23 |
| === SpacePigeon is now known as Wolter | ||
| missaugustina | SpacePigeon: Check with the list before assigning yourself a bug. | 18:23 |
| Wolter | missaugustina, will do | 18:24 |
| missaugustina | Wolter: the only reason I say that is because I've done that before, assigned myself a bug only to find out that there are other folks working on something related to what I wanted to work on. | 18:25 |
| Wolter | Yes, I perfectly understand :) | 18:25 |

| missaugustina | This is the wiki page for the Docteam - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/ | 18:27 |
| missaugustina | This is the info on the mailing list - https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc | 18:27 |
| Wolter | missaugustina, thanks | 18:27 |
| missaugustina | Wolter: np :) | 18:28 |
| missaugustina | The wiki is especially challenging because several people could be working on one thing and not know it. | 18:28 |
| missaugustina | We use the list as the main point of communication to avoid situations like that. | 18:28 |
| Wolter | Oh oops yeah I joined the team yesterday at launchpad | 18:29 |
| Wolter | good to know | 18:29 |
| missaugustina | Yeah lots of areas, it can be confusing to keep track of ;) | 18:29 |
| missaugustina | I filter my emails so anything to the ubuntu-doc list is labeled one way and launchpad bugs are labeled somewhere else. | 18:30 |
| missaugustina | Sometimes LP bugs can be high traffic especially this close to a release, so people might miss if you are assigning yourself a bug. | 18:30 |
| missaugustina | Wolter: what is the bug that you assigned yourself? | 18:35 |
| Wolter | missaugustina, a bug about SuspendHowto being a deprecated document | 18:36 |
| missaugustina | Is there a bug id#? | 18:36 |
| missaugustina | This was in Launchpad, right? | 18:36 |
| missaugustina | I was looking for the notification in my email, but can't find anything. | 18:37 |
| missaugustina | Wolter: Thanks for helping out! Just be sure to email the list and let folks know about your submission :) | 18:49 |
| Wolter | missaugustina, yeah I just did | 18:49 |
| Wolter | haha | 18:49 |
| Zachk18 | shaunm, Gwaihir hello | 19:52 |
| Gwaihir | hi | 19:53 |
| Zachk18 | so...welcome if it's your first | 19:54 |

| Zachk18 | Wolter, hey | 20:02 |
| Zachk18 | Wolter, anything you need? | 20:02 |
| Wolter | Zachk18, just wondering if you saw my draft yesterday | 20:03 |
| Wolter | I understand if you have no time for it, I already linked it in the mailing list | 20:03 |
| Simone1 | Ciao volevo sapere se c'รจ Alessio Treglia in questa chat avrei bisogno di parlargli in pvt | 21:52 |
