[02:30] 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] dendle: welcome, well the first step will be to subscribe to the mailing list, we have been pretty active recently :) [02:31] dendle: then pick up a task from the TODO list (I'll get you the link) or work on the wikis [02:33] dendle: here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/Tasks?action=show&redirect=DocumentationTeam/Tasks [02:34] Dhillon: sweet thanks for this. I have joined the mailing list, whew rather active. I will check out the link you mentioned. [02:36] 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] nice....be a while since I used IRC......will all come back though..... [02:37] dhillon-v10: opps [02:37] dendle: that's better :) [02:40] 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] *my [02:40] dendle: a new doc recruit, yay [02:41] starcraft-ntbk: what's up :) [02:41] die, ghelp links, die! [02:42] j1mc: lol, what if the links actually die would you feel bad [02:43] i doubt it [02:43] j1mc: :) [02:44] :) [02:45] j1mc: so how did the meeting turn out, I left after a while [02:45] dhillon-v10: it was pretty productive, i think [02:57] starcraft-ntbk: hey there :) [02:57] * starcraft-ntbk gives wave. [02:57] dhillon-v10: reviewing docs sounds like a great idea.... [02:58] dendle: see link I sent ya on getting started. Lots of good info on our homepage,nice and tidy. [03:00] starcraft-ntbk: coolness, will start looking there.... [03:00] dendle: sure, I'm around for questions, but not right now..... hockey game starting!!! [03:01] starcraft-ntbk: np's chat later... [03:01] dendle: sure, if ya got any qs see any members on doc team here or wikifg listed on that page. [03:01] dendle: follow what starcraft-ntbk tells you closely, you slowly get better at it and then start taking on more responsibilities :) [03:02] dhillon-v10: oh you give me too much credit. Ya did a lot on your own :) [03:02] starcraft-ntbk: nah, you are too modest :) [03:03] hehe [03:03] dhillon-v10 / starcraft-ntbk: will follow my pseudo-master closely :) [03:04] well later folks, ping if theres anything important. [03:04] starcraft-ntbk: bye :) [03:04] starcraft-ntbk: chat later [03:04] 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] dhillon-v10: that sounds like a good place to begin [03:07] dendle: how familiar are you with launchpad [03:08] shaunm: hi there :) [03:30] dhillon-v10: not very, however have used many svn based web reposotories before === rr72 is now known as zz === rr72_ is now known as rr73 [03:50] 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] dendle: in there go to the docs folder and start reviewing the contents I listed in the branch description :) [03:50] dendle: any questions ? [03:55] 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 === ubot4 is now known as Guest98561 === ubot4 is now known as Guest83668 === ubot4` is now known as Guest13559 [15:37] mdke, what do you think about bug 510318 ?
