humphreybchttps://edge.launchpad.net/practical-programming00:16
* dutchie remembers why he is supposed to do translations daily00:17
dutchieit takes ages if you leave it longer00:17
humphreybcomg they use latex too00:17
humphreybcour head of department has 344 karma on launchpad, i have like 28,000 :P00:18
jamindaydutche: looks like it's working now00:19
jamindaythanks for the heads up00:19
humphreybcthis is awesome. i was already going to talk to them next week about UMP, but now they'll totally know about bzr and latex already.... sweet!00:19
dutchiejaminday: cool00:19
jamindayjaminday thinks humphreybc sounds a little bit excited00:21
jaminday;-)00:22
humphreybcseriously it's so cool, it means that my comp sci department will allow me to spend lots of time on UMP00:24
humphreybcbecause it's all in the same direction as what they teach anyway00:25
humphreybcand the paper, COMP150, is a python paper - and surprise surprise, Quickshot is written in python :P00:25

jamindayhumphreybc: hehe btw classic video you posted last night. I just twittered and facebooked it so all my friends can share the love00:30

godbyk[OT] Does anyone know of any 3-way video conferencing software that works on Linux, Windows, and OS X?07:18
dutchiegodbyk: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2010-February/022912.html maybe?07:19
dutchiesee rest of thread too07:20
godbykLooks like OpenMeeting (http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/) may do it.. I have to read their web page more thoroughly. None of the others mentioned seem to do three-way webcams, though.. just desktop sharing.07:23
godbykI'm surprised it's not a common feature by now.07:23
godbykIf you can send my voice to multiple conference attendees, why can't you also send me video feed?07:23
godbykthorwil: I just wrote to the mailing list about the edition/revision stuff. Let me know what you think.10:25
godbykI'm guessing the vast majority of people don't care and are just tossing in their opinions because we asked. :)10:25
thorwilgodbyk: bike-shedding, as it looks like a trivial issue10:44
thorwilgodbyk: i thought it would be good to show that i'm very willing to revise decisions. but a number of repliers obviously didn't understand the issue10:48
godbykseems that way, yeah.10:54
godbykwhat do you think of my proposal?  edition on the cover (other than first), and Version x.y on the copyright page?10:54
thorwilgodbyk: i'm ok with your suggestion, although i would still consider to use "Second Release" and so on10:55
thorwilgodbyk: seeing Ben's reply, the case is closed :)10:56
godbykthorwil: Ha! Guess so.10:57
ubuntujenkinsdo we have a meeting tonight? its on the wiki as last week but that was cancled14:54
godbykubuntujenkins: I haven't heard any mention of a meeting this week.15:00
godbykAFAIK, nothing's been scheduled.15:00
