nigel_nbdoctormo: ping03:59
doctormonigel_nb: pong03:59
nigel_nbi'm stuck at introduction to launchpad03:59
nigel_nbI've got 2 lines..."Launchpad is an open source suite of tools that help people and teams to work together on software projects. All our asciidoc lessons are hosted on Launchpad to allow everyone on the team to pull and make changes and also convert them to other formats."04:00
nigel_nbany suggestions as to what more?04:00
doctormonigel_nb: Launchpad is a project management site, it's free and open source software and allows free culture projects to be honsted there using the bazaar content version system.04:07
doctormonigel_nb: This includes not only code projects such as ubuntu it's self, but also creative projects like these learning materials.04:07
cprofitthey doctormo -- I need some help with thinking something through04:08
nigel_nbdoctormo: thats enough? :)04:09
doctormocprofitt: Thinking, hey I'm good at that!04:09
doctormonigel_nb: It's up to you, are we missing anything?04:09
nigel_nbdoctormo: nopes, but I am wondering if 2 lines are okay for a section...04:09
cprofittwell... I am looknig at http://www.ancestry.com/ and http://www.findagrave.com/ and wondering why someone has not made this an open project... like wikipedia04:10
nigel_nbdoctormo: btw04:10
doctormonigel_nb: Sure, but what is the section trying to teach? is it just a brief wikipedia style description of launchpad, or do you want to go into some details?04:10
nigel_nbu missed some stuff on your blog post04:10
nigel_nbits just an intro04:10
nigel_nbdetails come next class04:10
cprofittwhat do you think doctormo ?04:11
doctormonigel_nb: Sounds reasonable then.04:11
doctormocprofitt: It's an interesting project idea, let me think some more.04:11
nigel_nbdoctormo: u missed "bzr launchpad-login $lpusername" and brz whoami "<Name> <emailid>"04:11
cprofittI just look at ancestry using 'public' records and charging people $160/yr04:12
doctormonigel_nb: I did, but I did that delibratly.04:12
nigel_nbdoctormo: not needed?04:12
cprofittand findagrave allows for only one person to control the information04:12
doctormocprofitt: Aye, public records should be free and open, possibly even tired to open street maps so you can tie in references to locations.04:12
doctormocprofitt: But that sort of thing would need the dedication of a 5 man team about 2 years to get stable and some basis to get people on board I think.04:13
cprofittdoctormo: yeah they key is how to get people to contribute to such a project... and how it would be financed so it could afford servers/bandwidth04:13
cprofittit just irks me to see people contribute and have a company profit from free labor04:13
doctormocprofitt: If it's popular enough, some google adwords might work. If it's educational enough then people like biblio might run it, if it's governmental enough, the government might offer a grant.04:14
nigel_nbdoctormo: so that step is unnecessary?04:19
doctormonigel_nb: Aye?04:19
nigel_nbdoctormo: I did follow it... so what do I do now?04:19
doctormonigel_nb: Basic introduction is good, go with it.04:20
nigel_nbdoctormo: updated launchpad with work so far04:20
doctormonigel_nb: wonderful.04:21
doctormonigel_nb: what Rev?04:24
nigel_nbdoctormo: 10 I think04:24
doctormohmm it won't pull04:26
nigel_nbwhich branch are you trying to pull nigelbabu/ubuntu-learning-materials/nigelbabu?04:26
nigel_nblp:~nigelbabu/ubuntu-learning-materials/bazaar-introduction04:26
nigel_nbI renamed the branch the other day04:27
nigel_nbdoctormo: a user has to sign CoC to upload to launchpad?04:30
doctormoah04:30
doctormonigel_nb: do they?04:30
nigel_nbdoctormo: I have no clue... :P04:30
doctormonigel_nb: I don't think so.04:32
nigel_nbdoctormo: ok :)04:33
nigel_nbdoctormo: I'm stopping writing for the day...04:37
nigel_nbdoctormo: my minds gone blank..I think I should be done with it tomorrow04:37
doctormonigel_nb: wonderful, I'm looking at your five sections04:37
nigel_nbdoctormo: let me know if I've made any grave mistakes04:37
doctormonigel_nb: I'll let you know if i find any errors, but I'll test my script to see if it makes a pdf04:38
nigel_nbdoctormo: oh okay :)04:39
