| dendle | hi all, I am new to the group and am looking to work on Ubuntu documentation. I have a long history of document writing (in work life) and would like to use these skills for the Ubuntu documentation set. The BeginnersFAQ is a place where I could start. Can someone please let me know if I can just jump straight in or is there a formal process for working on a document etc | 02:30 |
|---|---|---|
| dhillon-v10 | dendle: welcome, well the first step will be to subscribe to the mailing list, we have been pretty active recently :) | 02:31 |
| dhillon-v10 | dendle: then pick up a task from the TODO list (I'll get you the link) or work on the wikis | 02:31 |
| dhillon-v10 | dendle: here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/Tasks?action=show&redirect=DocumentationTeam/Tasks | 02:33 |
| dendle | Dhillon: sweet thanks for this. I have joined the mailing list, whew rather active. I will check out the link you mentioned. | 02:34 |
| dhillon-v10 | dendle: really ?? we usually get like 3 messages per day, and IMHO for a doc. based list that's pretty good, and in IRC if you want to type a nick type the first few characters and then press tab to get their complete nick | 02:36 |
| dendle | nice....be a while since I used IRC......will all come back though..... | 02:37 |
| dendle | dhillon-v10: opps | 02:37 |
| dhillon-v10 | dendle: that's better :) | 02:37 |
| dhillon-v10 | dendle: a first task could be reviewing docs. for simple mistakes, that's how starcraft-ntbk got me started, and then I moved on to writing me own docs :) | 02:40 |
| dhillon-v10 | *my | 02:40 |
| starcraft-ntbk | dendle: a new doc recruit, yay | 02:40 |
| dhillon-v10 | starcraft-ntbk: what's up :) | 02:41 |
| j1mc | die, ghelp links, die! | 02:41 |
| dhillon-v10 | j1mc: lol, what if the links actually die would you feel bad | 02:42 |
| j1mc | i doubt it | 02:43 |
| dhillon-v10 | j1mc: :) | 02:43 |
| j1mc | :) | 02:44 |
| dhillon-v10 | j1mc: so how did the meeting turn out, I left after a while | 02:45 |
| j1mc | dhillon-v10: it was pretty productive, i think | 02:45 |
| dendle | starcraft-ntbk: hey there :) | 02:57 |
| * starcraft-ntbk gives wave. | 02:57 | |
| dendle | dhillon-v10: reviewing docs sounds like a great idea.... | 02:57 |

| dendle | starcraft-ntbk: coolness, will start looking there.... | 03:00 |
| starcraft-ntbk | dendle: sure, I'm around for questions, but not right now..... hockey game starting!!! | 03:00 |
| dendle | starcraft-ntbk: np's chat later... | 03:01 |
| starcraft-ntbk | dendle: sure, if ya got any qs see any members on doc team here or wikifg listed on that page. | 03:01 |
| dhillon-v10 | dendle: follow what starcraft-ntbk tells you closely, you slowly get better at it and then start taking on more responsibilities :) | 03:01 |
| starcraft-ntbk | dhillon-v10: oh you give me too much credit. Ya did a lot on your own :) | 03:02 |
| dhillon-v10 | starcraft-ntbk: nah, you are too modest :) | 03:02 |
| starcraft-ntbk | hehe | 03:03 |
| dendle | dhillon-v10 / starcraft-ntbk: will follow my pseudo-master closely :) | 03:03 |
| starcraft-ntbk | well later folks, ping if theres anything important. | 03:04 |
| dhillon-v10 | starcraft-ntbk: bye :) | 03:04 |
| dendle | starcraft-ntbk: chat later | 03:04 |
| dhillon-v10 | dendle: if you don't have a specific task atm, you can start reviewing my work, I actually needed someone to review it anyways :) | 03:04 |
| dendle | dhillon-v10: that sounds like a good place to begin | 03:07 |
