[02:30] <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
[02:31] <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
[02:33] <dhillon-v10> dendle: here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/Tasks?action=show&redirect=DocumentationTeam/Tasks
[02:34] <dendle> Dhillon: sweet thanks for this.  I have joined the mailing list, whew rather active.  I will check out the link you mentioned.
[02:36] <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
[02:37] <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 :)
[02:40] <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
[02:41] <dhillon-v10> starcraft-ntbk: what's up :)
[02:41] <j1mc> die, ghelp links, die!
[02:42] <dhillon-v10> j1mc: lol, what if the links actually die would you feel bad
[02:43] <j1mc> i doubt it
[02:43] <dhillon-v10> j1mc: :)
[02:44] <j1mc> :)
[02:45] <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
[02:57] <dendle> starcraft-ntbk: hey there :)
[02:57]  * starcraft-ntbk gives wave.
[02:57] <dendle> dhillon-v10: reviewing docs sounds like a great idea....
[02:58] <starcraft-ntbk> dendle: see link I sent ya on getting started. Lots of good info on our homepage,nice and tidy.
[03:00] <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!!!
[03:01] <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 :)
[03:02] <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 :)
[03:03] <starcraft-ntbk> hehe
[03:03] <dendle> dhillon-v10 / starcraft-ntbk: will follow my pseudo-master closely :)
[03:04] <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 :)
[03:07] <dendle> dhillon-v10: that sounds like a good place to begin
[03:07] <dhillon-v10> dendle: how familiar are you with launchpad
[03:08] <dhillon-v10> shaunm: hi there :)
[03:30] <dendle> dhillon-v10: not very, however have used many svn based web reposotories before
[03:50] <dhillon-v10> dendle: sorry for the delay, working on something else, alright so here's my branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~dhillon-v10/kubuntu-docs/dhillon-v10
[03:50] <dhillon-v10> dendle: in there go to the docs folder and start reviewing the contents I listed in the branch description :)
[03:50] <dhillon-v10> dendle: any questions ?
[03:55] <dendle> dhillon-v10: not yet, but I am sure there will be....he he....still bouncing between pool and computer so will look into the docs folder over the course of the afternoon

[15:40] <jpds> Rocket2DMn: Err, sorry, my fault.
[15:40] <Rocket2DMn> lo np, just an extra ubot4 lying around :)
[15:41] <jpds> Yeah, and I can't seem to kill it.

[15:43] <jpds> There we go.
[15:44] <Rocket2DMn> cool, thanks
[15:44] <Rocket2DMn> btw, why is it called ubot4 and not ubotu ?
[15:44] <jpds> Because it's a clone #4 of ubottu.
[15:44] <Rocket2DMn> ah, i see
[22:47] <fagan> any docbook people around?
[22:47] <fagan> I have a little problem
[22:48] <fagan> mdke: you around?
[22:49] <fagan> I need to have a < in the text of a doc
[22:49] <fagan> but it gives out an error
[22:50] <fagan> because its an unclosed tag not a string which is what I want
[22:55] <fagan> I think ill check the ascii table
