missaugustinadholbach: I have started work on editing the Complete Packaging Guide on the wiki.17:23
dholbachmissaugustina: yeah, I saw it - great work - let's talk about it on the list :)17:31
dholbachI'm on the phone right now, which is why I didn't directly reply17:31
missaugustinadholbach: no problem. Nathan is currently reviewing it and offering feedback for me.17:31
dholbach:-)17:31
dholbachcool17:31
missaugustinaI don't know anything about packaging in ubuntu ;) So I was starting from scratch17:32
missaugustinaI worked as a Release Engineer for about 8 months for InDesign, so I have some experience with packaging17:32
missaugustinaNathan's feedback has been great. I mainly want to make sure the information is accurate and consistent with how you actually do things.17:33
dholbachcool17:49
dholbachI appreciate your good work on this!17:49
dholbachmissaugustina: maybe you send another mail to the packaging-docs list about your work so we can all have a chat about it?17:51
missaugustinadholbach: no problem! Packaging is a really great way to get folks involved with Ubuntu and currently it's pretty difficult to get started.17:51
missaugustinaYeah I can do that :)17:51
dholbachpackaging is the bread and butter of Ubuntu - even if you just want to work on small fixes, you have to know a bit about it17:52
dholbachso any way in which we can speed up things is going to be great17:52
dholbachI have a bunch of others ideas already and it's great to have a forum for that now17:52
dholbachand some motivated people! :)17:52
missaugustinaI'm glad you put together the list, I felt like I was fumbling around in the dark ;)17:52
missaugustinaI really like writing and helping people that way (hence why I'm on the doc team)17:53
dholbachI'll try to get some more people involved in this as I feel there's more and more demands17:53
missaugustinaI will put together an email describing what I've been working on and send it out today :)17:53
dholbachlike upstream people that just want to know about our release schedule and how to "push the right buttons to get something done"17:53
dholbachor people who packaged something in a PPA and want to get it in Ubuntu now17:53
dholbachcool17:53
