akgranerwhat is the link to the Share Ubuntu stuff?  anyone know off the top of your head?00:21
czajkowskiakgraner: do you mean spread ubuntu ?00:25

IdleOnescuse the up coming flood03:24
IdleOneCONTEXT:03:24
IdleOne[22:17:28] <IdleOne> could use a strong voice at UDS to get more support03:24
IdleOne[22:17:37] <pleia2> I had an hour long call with Amber last night about it and other related things03:24
IdleOne[22:17:44] <pleia2> and I hate phones :)03:24
IdleOne[22:18:01] <andrew> but.. your g1?03:24
IdleOne[22:18:03] <IdleOne> yeah I see wiki updates in my inbox several times a day :)03:24
IdleOne[22:18:13] <pleia2> she's been busy so I've been picking up the slack, but gosh I don't know anything about translations03:24
IdleOne[22:18:25] <pleia2> she's going to have a translations dude look at the howtotranslatewikis doc03:24
IdleOne[22:19:08] <IdleOne> pleia2: all you need to know right now is that informally we are kicking butt. Imagine what could happen with full support and people who know how to get this organized properly03:24
IdleOne[22:19:51] <pleia2> yeah :)03:25
IdleOne[22:21:01] <pleia2> I was actually more willing to let the translations slide than the language-based subteams03:25
IdleOne[22:21:15] <pleia2> those subteams could be awesome or awful03:25
IdleOne[22:21:46] <pleia2> and having a dozen spring up because people get excited would probably make things lean toward awful :)03:25
IdleOne[22:21:53] <IdleOne> I think I might need to put back the Translators page for someone else who can pick it up. I am getting a some extra hours at work03:25
IdleOne[22:22:07] <IdleOne> pleia2: I have to agree with that03:25
IdleOne[22:22:28] <IdleOne> unless there is strong leaders who are willing to get in there and work hard03:25
IdleOne[22:22:30] <pleia2> I am hoping that once we get the howto page done we can call it quits on the translations page (except for the signup bit, that will always change)03:25
IdleOne[22:22:44] <pleia2> akgraner suggested getting some loco teams involved03:25
IdleOne[22:22:54] <IdleOne> that would be best03:25
IdleOne[22:23:21] <IdleOne> loco's already have the team structure and can mobilize03:25
elkyCan I just say *SQUEE* to all this reeeeeeeeeeally overdue localisation stuff that's happening?03:26
IdleOnesure :)03:26
macohehe03:26
elkySQUEE! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D03:26
akgraner:-)03:27
pleia2hehe03:27
IdleOneSo anyway all you nice folks in LoCo's from all around the world, it would be awesome if you could get your people to start translating the wiki.ubuntu-women.org pages :)03:27
elkypleia2 would remember how we've tried to ignite this before, but our monolingualness has stalled it soooo bad03:27
macohmmm my loco mostly speaks english03:28
IdleOnemaco: your set then03:28
macoIdleOne: and nothing else03:28
IdleOnebut you do read/write russian03:28
elkymaco, *cough*Privilege*cough*03:28
pleia2elky: yeah, it's nice to have multi-language people around!03:28
IdleOnes/you/YOU03:28
* akgraner needs to learn some other language03:29
akgranermy German teacher told me  not to speak it  - to only demonstrate I could read and write it - she mumbled something about my Southern accent :-/03:30
IdleOnepleia2: in that HowToTranslate this wiki page. I think it would be good if we held on to the Ubuntu-Women term and not translate it03:30
akgranerbut I admire people who speak other languages -- I think that is so cool03:31
macoIdleOne: if you mean "look at cyrillic and pronounce but not understand it"...03:31
elkyI rather agree with IdleOne here. It's like a wordmark.03:31
IdleOneelky: exactly03:31
macoelky: i would think with more privilege they'd have gone to a school that taught them a second language...03:31
IdleOneand maco I didn't understand what you just said to me :/03:32
macoIdleOne: i can read russian into speaking-out-loud, but i wont know what it means03:32
elkymaco, English privilege: being able to get through lift not thinking about needing that stuff.03:32
IdleOnemaco: ohhh03:32
elkyer, s/lift/life/03:32
macoIdleOne: my russian vocabulary is only about 20 words nowadays, and 10 of them are numbers.03:33
IdleOneok so no russian translation for you03:33
IdleOneummm I am probably off the mark here but akgraner I apologize if I keep side stepping you and going to pleia2 with my ideas03:35
macoelky: i would put "doesnt know any foreign languages" in the "did not have the privilege of a good school" category, regardless where one lives03:36
pleia2s'just because IdleOne and I are drinking buddies03:36
IdleOnehaha03:36
pleia2(I drink, he listens :P)03:36
IdleOneI listen good03:36
IdleOneshe drinks better03:36
IdleOnelol03:36
pleia2haha03:36
akgranerIdleOne, don't apologize03:36
akgranerIdleOne, we are a team03:36
akgraner:-)03:36
IdleOneakgraner: :)03:36
elkymaco, I had the opportunity to learn Mandarin. I did not have the desperate need to do so for sake of succeeding in life.03:36
macoand? english isnt necessary to succeed everywhere...03:37
IdleOnemmm sake03:37
macosometimes our communities try to *make it so*03:37
elkys/try//03:37
macoi think this translation thing is proof that we're actively trying NOT to make it so03:37
akgranerIdleOne, I just keep track of the big picture and help facilitate where I can :-)03:38
elkymaco, Want a cookie?03:38
macofor anyone needing to interact with anyone else in a foreign country, being a monoglot is rather a disadvantage. it just depends what country you're trying to interact with.03:38
IdleOneakgraner: ok the big picture is ( as I see it ) concerning this translation project. We need everybody to help :)03:38
elkymaco, next time you come across keffie_jayx, ask him how english literacy is a privilege.03:39
akgranerIdleOne, yep :-)03:40
elkyDon't take my word for it, take the word of someone who lives in a country where it matters a hell of a lot.03:40
macowhere does he live again?03:40
elkyVenezuela03:40
macobut wouldnt someone who doesnt know spanish be at a disadvantage in venezuela?03:41
akgranerelky does 1200UTC work for you better than 2200 UTC?03:41
macoeven if they spoke english?03:41
akgranerfor IRC meetings?03:41
elkymaco, no.03:41
maco(i recall this being problematic for me in france)03:41
elkymaco, he describes to me how people who come to venezuela expect venezuelans to speak english, and translators are provided if the recipient audience is unable to. Venezuelans who visit the US are expected to speak english.03:42
akgranerdang that was phrased badly but I hope you know what I meant03:42
macoelky: hrmph. silly english-only people ought to be paying for translators, not having them handed to them free03:43
elkymaco, English Privilege.03:44
macosolution: stop providing free translation service03:44
elkyAnd this helps the 3rd world gain 1st world help how?03:44
macovenezuela's the third world???03:44
elkyPretty much.03:44
elkyThird world isn't just starving ethiopians.03:45
elkylatin american countries kinda hug the border between third world and developing nations03:46
elkybut still. It's not so easy as "stop handing the people with money incentives to invest in your local communities"03:47
valoriehttp://linuxgrandma.blogspot.com/2010/04/i-love-geeks-on-irc.html03:47
valoriehappy April Fools, everybody03:47
valorieI'm off to see my dad03:47
IdleOnelater valorie :)03:48
macoi tend to think of it more as "stop indulging the lazy americans who don't bother to learn at least one other language or even brush up on a few niceties before traveling abroad"03:48
valorieoops, that should have been in the other chan03:48
valoriesorry03:48
elkymaco, yeah, it's not like that.03:48
elkymaco, even in countries closer to the first world, english is a privilege. The shopkeeper in the tourist district that doesn't speak english is going to lose out to the other shopkeeper who does.03:50
IdleOneWhen I moved to PA I learned to speak the language, Spanish!03:51
elkyEven in situations like Germans visiting Spain for example, when the Germans speak English, they are going to fall back to that to try communicate.03:52
macoIdleOne: heh spanish started in kindergarden when i was in school there03:52
IdleOnewith 40+ million Spanish speaking people in the US I don't understand how it isn't an official language03:53
pleia2there are no official languages03:53
macooh there is no way a shop could survive here without at least someone there speaking spanish03:54
maco(in my neighborhood i mean)03:54
IdleOneeven in Canada where there are roughly 3-4 million French speaking people We have two official languages03:54
macothe US doesnt have an official language at all03:54
IdleOneyet it is english speaking03:54
pleia2you can get most federal documents in many languages03:55
macodepends where you are exactly03:55
macosome places are english speaking03:55
macosome, like miami, are not03:55
macoor are bilingual at least03:55
IdleOnewell the goverment uses English03:55
macoIdleOne: old white men. it'll change ;-)03:55
IdleOnehaha03:55
akgranerWhen Pete lived in Brno he learned Czech  - I even learned some as well (forgotten most of it now), but in Brno most people did not /would not speak English to us (the would speak German or Czech) but in Prague almost eveyone spoke English and you are right elky I tended to frequent those places that would speak English to me  - where as my kids and husband spoke enough Czech and German to get by almost anywhere  there03:55
maco(though one of my aunts down in florida says that she cant talk to people in her town pretty much at all because she doesnt speak spanish)03:55
* IdleOne is all for old white men in power to not be there anymore03:56
elkyakgraner, there are exceptions, sure.03:56
macothings i dont plan to do again: travel to non-english countries with my family03:57
maco(they seem to think "when in rome..." ends in "be obnoxious" instead of "do as the romans do")03:57
IdleOnelol03:58
maco(also: they *cannot* pack)03:58
IdleOnejust that is reason enough03:58
IdleOnenot being able to pack! OMG like WT..........03:58
IdleOnewait, I can't pack either03:58
macoi mean they can put stuff in suitcases...but they have to be BIG suitcases...and its far too much stuff03:59
akgranerso I am a big fan of learning the Language of where you are visiting - I told my kids they were not allowed to visit other countries and act like arrogant American brats - so they both pick up languages pretty quickly03:59
macoan italian man called my sister "bella" (beautiful) the first day we were there. she responded "prego" (you're welcome) instead of "grazi" (thank you)03:59
IdleOnemaco: I compensate with my lack of packing ability with ability to carry all the suitcases and not complain about it03:59
IdleOnemaco: that isn't so bad04:00
akgranerunlike their mother - :-/  I have a hard time with English at times :-)04:00
IdleOnehe knew what she meant :)04:00
IdleOneI called a lady Sir today on the subway :/04:01
macoIdleOne: or at least all the nurses did. the bust out laughing (we were in the "salud mentale" part of l'ospidale waiting for our cousin to show up since he's a doctor there)04:01
IdleOneI felt like such a jerk04:01
macoIdleOne: or Peppermint Patty04:01
IdleOneit was really completely innocent. See there was this man who was not moving out of the lady's way so she could move to a better standing spot and I was thinking of telling the man to " Sir please make some room" and it came out "Sir here take my seat" :/ but I was looking right at the poor women :(04:03
IdleOnewoman*04:03
macoso you accidentally gave away your seat?04:03
IdleOnehaha NO I accidentally made an ass of myself and probably insulted the lady04:03
IdleOnebut she smilled and took the seat04:04
IdleOnesmiled*04:04
* pleia2 nudges people back to -women04:05
* IdleOne nudges back04:05
pleia2oh gosh, after mentioning it at the meeting and everything I STILL forgot to do to the team report04:05
rwwpleia2: thanks for reminding me ;P04:06
pleia2:)04:06
pleia2neat, someone prettified our reporting page04:07
elkyYeah, I think akgraner and wikis are friends now.04:12
pleia2\o/04:13
elkyI told her the big secret of how to do wiki stuff. Steal it, with prejudice.04:13
IdleOneIn think the u-w wiki could use some flashy gifs04:14
IdleOne:)04:14
akgraner:-)  yep04:14
akgranerit's more love and so much less hate for wikis these days04:14
IdleOneand sparkles04:14
IdleOnelots and lots of sparkles04:14
elkyIdleOne, assuming you mean animated ones, I am now going to stare at you until you repent and beg for mercy.04:14
* elky commences glaring.04:14
akgranerIdleOne, I like clean lines but that is just me04:15
akgraner:-)04:15
* IdleOne glares back04:15
* IdleOne does not blink04:15
pleia2https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/ubuntu-women-project-m-goals is our current blueprint for -m, right?04:15
akgranerI think that is why I like our wikis so much04:15
IdleOneerrr elky is like a cat, she can stare down a statue :(04:15
akgraneryep I need to add the stuff in the right format04:15
akgranerpleia2, ^^^04:16
* IdleOne takes back the animated flashy gif stuff04:16
pleia2akgraner: ok thanks, just adding a link to our report04:16
elkyWhee!04:16
* elky hugs IdleOne04:16
* IdleOne hugs back04:16
akgraneryep I'll get it in before Saturday night04:16
IdleOnepleia2: should I do the little lower joke on elky?04:16
IdleOnelol04:16
akgranerso I don't have to worry about on Sunday as my Sunday's are all UWN these days :-)04:16
pleia2I was wondering, do we want ubuntu membership to be a requirement for team leadership?04:17
pleia2I think it sets a good example04:17
IdleOne:(04:17
IdleOnepleia2: for team leadership?04:17
pleia2IdleOne: our project encourages involvement, and to gain membership04:17
elkypleia2, I think so. We used to expect it for irc ops, but then a few declined despite eligability. I think for a leadership position though it should be.04:18
* pleia2 nods04:18
elkyespecially, as you say, one that wants to foster that exact action04:18
IdleOneprobably a good idea yeah04:18
akgranerI think so too but I was wondering as a side why do leaders not have to sign the leader CoC04:18
IdleOneguess I need to get my act together and go for membership at some point04:18
pleia2by signing the CoC you agree to the LCoC, it's at the bottom04:19
IdleOneakgraner: they should04:19
IdleOneops have to agree to it also04:19
akgranerI know but do you know how many "leaders" don't know about the LCoC04:19
pleia2"In addition to this Code of Conduct, we hold our community leaders (such as IRC operators, Forums staff, team leaders and LoCo coordinators) to an even higher standard which is documented in the Leadership Code of Conduct."04:19
elkyakgraner, mostly the ones that have been incumbent since last decade04:20
pleia2yeah, I wish people would actually read the CoC before signing it04:20
pleia2it's not just a TOS :)04:20
elky(tehehe, i love saying that)04:20
akgranerpleia2, I was just curious that's all and thought maybe it was just me that encounter that04:21
elkypleia2, ircland effectively declares it the ToS though. It's the only way we can enforce it.04:21
pleia2elky: fair enough, not "just" a ToS then :)04:21
elkypleia2, yeah. there's a difference between adopting it as such, and becoming a signatory to it04:22
IdleOneI had to sign a CoC for work :/04:22
IdleOnemade sure I read it completely04:22
* pleia2 nods04:22
IdleOneI didn't want to agree to anything really stupid04:22
IdleOneturns out that it was just a piece of paper and nobody really follows or enforces it04:23
pleia2heh04:24
IdleOneI have heard people tell racist jokes right to the face of black people04:26
IdleOneand it just passes like nothing04:26
IdleOneanyway not uw related sorry04:26
pleia2ok, in case I missed anything: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/ReportingPage04:28
IdleOneumm translation project?04:29
IdleOnenot discussed in any formal fashion04:30
pleia2it's on there04:31
pleia2linked to your email starting the discussion04:31
IdleOneohh haha I skipped right over it04:32
pleia2:)04:32
IdleOne:)04:32
IdleOnethen it is perfect :)04:32
* pleia2 bows04:32
pleia2;)04:32
pleia2oh, amber was on floss weekly!04:32
akgranerpleia2, yeah remind me to thank you for telling the whole wide world :-P04:34
pleia2:D04:34
IdleOnehaha04:34
pleia2gosh, we were busy in march04:35
IdleOneLet's keep it up!04:36
IdleOneidle hands and all that04:36
IdleOneI forgot that the mailing list is a formal discussion forum04:39
pleia2:)04:39
pleia2that's where we prefer to do it TBH04:39
pleia2meetings and irc here are grand, but we reach more people with the list04:39
IdleOneyes, gets more people involved04:39
akgraneryep and we can point more people to the list links04:39
IdleOneI think we got 3-4 people from the ML who started to translate and I know I got two people from the global jam04:40
pleia2:D04:41
IdleOneI'll be able to devote more time starting next week to translating. my schedule changed and I will be starting at 10am04:42
IdleOneI do my best work in the morning lol04:43
elkyakgraner, i had like thirty bajillion people tell me they heard my name mentioned on floss weekly :P04:55
akgranerelky, yeah I talked about ya :-P04:56
akgranerdid you not listen - that earns a kick :-P04:56
elkyI'm not sure they took a moment to think "oh, this person says she works on stuff with melissa, can't possibly have told her, i'd better clue melissa in"04:56
elkyI did. I'm still being told daily04:57
akgranerhehe04:57
akgraner:-P04:57
akgraneryeah so I tried to mention a ton of people as the UW Project is not about me but the team04:57
elkysofa_repo is um... trying to stir us up.05:00
macoyes05:00
macoim trying to rebuff without escalating05:00
macoand hope he gets bored05:01
svakshamaco: he doesnt seem to get the message05:04
akgranerhey all  - so we need to announce world play day before the next meeting - so elky and I were tweaking the proposed announcement - can you all take a look and see what you think?  http://etherpad.com/RjdKP1czI605:15
IdleOnelooking05:17
* maco cant read05:17
macoi thought you were tweeding the announcement05:18
macoas in, covering it with tweed fabric05:18
elky...05:18
* elky bops maco over the head05:18
macoVIOLENCE!05:18
akgranerhehe05:18
* pleia2 *likes* princess dolls05:18
pleia2:)05:18
elkypleia2, but you also like shiiiiiiiiiiny05:19
pleia2princesses can be hackers too! ;)05:19
pleia2not actually a critique, just sayin'05:19
akgranerhacker Barbie05:19
IdleOneSo umm why a womans T?05:19
IdleOneI admit I didn't read the whole thing05:20
pleia2IdleOne: because the entrants are female...05:20
akgranerbecause it will give to a girl05:20
akgranergiven05:20
macopleia2: oh right! i need to buy you your pink wiimote!05:20
macoakgraner: wait shouldnt it be children's T then?05:20
akgranerthey already sent it05:20
IdleOnewhat if a male wants to enter? /me read first, don't answer that05:20
pleia2why the no-derivatives license?05:21
akgranerand we went with least common denominator..05:21
pleia2IdleOne: the *point* is to get pictures of girls using computers, that's what we're showcasing ;)05:21
pleia2akgraner: that means we can't use them in a collage or anything05:22
elkymaco, at worst it goes to a female parent or an aunt, or whatever05:22
IdleOneok so it will be a T for the child05:22
IdleOnegot it05:22
pleia2I'd lean toward attribution05:22
macopleia2: we can get explicit permission for that, id think05:22
* IdleOne learns to think/read before shooting off at the mouth05:22
elkythis is all really project marketing stuff. laying the foundations to get eyes and contributors05:22
akgranerI just asked the question05:22
macopleia2: it means other random folks cant use them for random stuff they dont have permission for05:22
akgranerI wasn't saying no to the derivatives05:23
maco(im sure there are noncommercial uses their parents still wouldnt be ok with)05:23
akgranerI was asking if we wanted to limit it05:23
pleia2maco: sure, and neither can we, or random locos who do educational outreach and want photos of girls too05:23
elkyyeah, we should probably say 'for use by the ubuntu project'05:24
akgranerI am running the waiver/photo release past Canonical, mdke, and the CC05:24
* pleia2 nods05:24
elkyand a waiver is adequate for "remix" by the CC-nd-nc licences05:24
elkyafaik05:24
akgranerelky, how did I word that in the waiver05:24
* pleia2 winces at NC05:24
macowell right, its like a secondary license05:24
elkyakgraner, i forget, but we can change it. the surrounding words05:25
elkymaco, it's a waiving of rights05:25
pleia2did we explain to jono what random means?05:25
akgranergive my permission to the Ubuntu Project, which includes the Ubuntu Women Project05:25
* pleia2 grins05:25
elkypleia2, i think he might know that one this time05:25
pleia2hehe05:25
akgranerhehe yes he knows :-)05:25
pleia2anyway, looks good :)05:25
macooh hahah right05:25
elkyI really wanted to cry last time.05:25
=== JanC_ is now known as JanC
elkyi think i had lyz and amber convinced i /was/05:26
macopleia2: ive heard of people having images on flickr that their friends put up and they're in the pic and some corp takes the CC-BY photo and goes "great! we can photoshop in our project and use this for an ad!" and then they get Not Happy05:26
cleaverrootI made it05:26
akgranerhehe - well now that you mention it05:26
elkyhi cleaverroot05:26
macopleia2: s/project/product/05:26
elkycleaverroot, background: <akgraner> hey all  - so we need to announce world play day before the next meeting - so elky and I were tweaking the proposed announcement - can you all take a look and see what you think?  http://etherpad.com/RjdKP1czI605:27
pleia2maco: yeah, but it also means your photo can't be used in a flier for an ubuntu class that doctormo charges $5 for to cover admin costs05:27
akgranerhi cleaverroot05:27
macopleia2: i have *clearly* been around FOSS too much if i think of everything that gets made as "project"05:27
cleaverrootelky: hi05:27
pleia2anyway, that's why I like attribution :)05:27
cleaverrootbrb then05:27
JanCI'm not entirely following this discussion, but in case of photographs of individuals, I suggest you restrict their usage somewhat05:28
pleia2JanC: yes, we are05:28
macopleia2: though i think if more entities paid attention to the fact that you need both A) a license to the photo and B) a model waiver... then i'd put NC in the rubbish bin.05:28
akgranercrap which reminds me I need to tell Markdude I used one of his pics for something (he told me I could I just need to let him know what)05:28
* maco looks back at last sentence05:28
macoi've been around british people too mcuh05:29
JanCotherwise it can be used for whatever (to promote cornflakes for example)05:29
elkyI think we might want to hear what mdke/CC say05:29
* pleia2 nods05:29
pleia2JanC: yes, that's been mentioned :)05:29
JanCpleia2: I didn't read all the scrollback yet  â˜º05:30
cleaverrootmaco: you started drinking tea too?05:30
IdleOneok folks 6am is coming up fast, good night05:30
akgranerright I'll send the concerns in the  email to see how the permission should be worded05:30
JanCin some countries commercial usage needs special permission by the model, but e.g. in the Netherlands that's not required05:30
elkyJanC, we're asking for a model release for all subjects of the photo05:31
cleaverrootIs that final copy?05:31
pleia2good night, IdleOne05:31
elkyJanC, did you see the link at all?05:31
pleia2cleaverroot: it's the discussion copy (we're discussing it now)05:31
akgranercleaverroot, nope we are tweaking it now05:31
macocleaverroot: i said "rubbish" instead of "trash"05:32
JanCelky: what I mean is that a model release is not required in the Netherlands05:32
elkyJanC, that's wonderful dear, i'm not in the netherlands.05:32
elkycanonical is not either.05:32
cleaverrootk, I think it's a little clunky. I might move first paragraph to second and re-write a first one05:32
elky:)05:33
macocleaverroot: i assume you mean the "Firstly, GO READ LINKS!" paragraph?05:33
cleaverrootno, I skipped that one I think that is fine05:34
cleaverrootlet me try to mock one up see what you think05:34
macoyour definition of "first" and my definition of "first" seem not to agree05:34
pleia2hehe05:35
pleia2no no, the OTHER first paragraph!05:35
pleia2:)05:35
elkyyour /other/ left.05:35
JanCI suggest you allow a non-commercial license, or maybe better a "non-commercial except to promote ubuntu" license05:35
elkyJanC, a waiver is a waiving of licence rights in the case of the waiver recipient.05:36
elkynot required does not mean not effective.05:36
akgranercleaverroot, do you want the paragraph that starts "It hurts"  and the links paragraph05:36
akgranerafter the links one I meant to say05:36
akgranergrrrrr05:36
akgranerI kinda like leading up the the heavy paragraph but what do you all think05:37
JanCwhat I mean is that with a photograph that's licensed as CC-BY-ND, every company can use that photograph, as long as they don't alter it05:37
akgranerdang  I *never* get to bed before midnight  - wow where does the time go?05:39
macoakgraner: its midnight? dang.05:39
macooh REALLY DANG05:39
akgraneryeah - can you believe it05:39
macohomework is due at 2am grrrr05:39
pleia2it's not even 10 :D05:39
elkyakgraner, i dont think this is going out before tomorrow anyway hon05:39
macoand takes like 6 hours05:39
macoim screwed05:39
akgranerelky, yeah - I'll get the email out the the CC, Canonical and mdke for feedback and we can shoot for Monday05:40
elkymaco, eep, damn how that gastro bug knocked you around tonight isnt it.05:40
akgraneris that cool05:40
* elky winks at maco05:40
elkyakgraner, i think we can cope with monday, yeah05:40
macoelky: what what?05:40
elkyakgraner, but im not sure easter weekend is going to work quite like that05:40
elkymaco, email now saying you've been sick since after dinner. or whatever.05:41
akgranerdang I knew I forgot something today -05:41
macoelky: had a week to do it. he'll just say i shouldve done it yesterday05:41
elkymaco, :(05:41
macoakgraner: to buy baskets?05:41
elkythen stop yapping, start tapping.05:41
pleia2and bunnies!05:41
akgranerno Mass..05:41
pleia2oops05:41
elkyakgraner, oops!05:41
akgraneryeah - no wonder my kids were confused  *mom fail*05:42
akgranerthey did not protest too much though :-/05:43
akgranerhmmm05:43
akgraneranywho so Tuesday may be the better target date05:43
elkyyeah05:43
akgraneron my TODO list and with that I am running away - catch you all laters :-)05:44
macoakgraner: ooh holy thursday?05:44
elkynini05:44
akgranermaco, yep elky night05:44
macosunday... that means NEW DOCTOR WHO!05:44
pleia2yaaay!!05:44
JanCmaybe I should put it somewhat clearer: in the Netherlands, a photo released under a CC-BY-ND license by its photographer could be used by a neo-nazi party as the primary picture for their election campaign05:46
JanC(in the Netherlands)05:47
JanCthat's why I want you to allow NC05:47
pleia2JanC: we're working to restrict usage within the ubuntu project, NC makes it so loco teams who charge admin fees for events can't use them, and in general NC is messy business in the US anyway05:48
JanCor at least restrict to commercial use involving Ubuntu; people wanting to use that photograph for good purposes can always ask05:48
JanCright05:48
elkyok, that is clearer. I still want to hear what mdke and the rest of the CC say first05:48
JanCI mention this because there is some well-known case-law in the Netherlands about people used in commercials without their permission  ;)05:49
JanCand I don't live in the Netherlands, and don't agree with those laws, but they seem to be real...  :-/05:50
elkycan you cite cases that the legal folk might be able to refer to?05:53
cleaverrootk, wrot a short paragraph where do you want me to upload it to05:53
JanCI can find a blog post in Dutch05:54
elkycleaverroot, etherpad can rewind edits, you can put it right there in the etherpad document itself :)05:55
cleaverrootelky: ty05:55
JanCelky: http://blog.iusmentis.com/2008/07/03/geen-portretrecht-bij-op-straat-genomen-foto/05:58
JanChttp://translate.google.com/translate?hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&sl=nl&tl=en&u=http://blog.iusmentis.com/2008/07/03/geen-portretrecht-bij-op-straat-genomen-foto/&prev=_t06:00
cleaverrootk, put in my 2 cents :)06:01
JanCbasically, in the Netherlands you have to prove your portrait is of commercial value  (which I find odd, as the mere fact that it's used commercially should prove that, but apparently dutch judges don't agree with me...)06:02
JanC(and the English translation by google is *really* bad :P )06:05
elkyJanC, yeah.06:05
cleaverrootenglish translation by google on anything is really bad but eh06:05
elkyyes, but this particular one is exceptionally so06:06
cleaverrootlol06:06
JanCcleaverroot: actually, hebrew->english seems to work a lot better than english->dutch  :P06:06
cleaverrootJanC: really06:06
JanCat least as far as my experience goes06:07
JanCit's the first time I tried nl->en06:07
elkythe spanish stuff isn't too bad06:08
cleaverrootdo you think that is because more emphasis has been put on that by google or that it is more easily translated into english?06:08
JanCmaybe it's used more06:09
cleaverrootJanC: good point06:09
cleaverroothas everyone tried 10.04 yet06:10
elkyyes. I want my tooltips back.06:10
cleaverrootlol06:11
nigelbme too06:11
JanCI've been running it on 2 systems for soem time06:11
cleaverrootso far I'm super happy with it06:11
elkyalso, this is a non-project discussion, so we should take it back to the regular #ubuntu-women channel :)06:11
cleaverrootsorry06:11
JanCand I want something to flash/move when I get an IM message back  ;)06:11
cleaverrootdid you guys like my redo of the intro paragraph?06:12
JanCresponding to my jabber buddies after 1 day because I didn't see earlier is embarrassing  :-/06:14
elkycleaverroot, im looking at it. I think you have some points. I'll see how I can integrate it with the current paragraph06:15
cleaverrootelky: cool, I wasn't trying to say anything new just rephrasing trying to make it less clunky06:16
cleaverrootdon't know that I did any better :-)06:16
elkythanks for the help :)06:25
cleaverrootmeant to say it here: anytime :-)06:29
elkyyeah, that was my fault, i noted my edit in the wrong channel ;)06:29
cleaverrootelky: and I didn't pay attn; so my fault too06:32
cleaverrootI'm new to this irc thing :)06:32

czajkowski10.10 announced10:22
etali1elky; Ah, sorry.  I think I completely misread what he said anyway.  Just got up and not coffeed yet.10:22
elkyand already twitter has the monkey one :(10:23
etali1I'd been really hoping for Moose, but the reasoning behind Meerkat sounds good, I guess.10:23
elkymoose is too elegant for a post-lts release, really10:26
elkytypically it's a post-lts release we'd be doing crazy stuff like vast UI changes and trialling the dropping of features, but hey, whatever.10:27
etali1With Maverick in the name, the next few months could be interesting...10:28
czajkowskihmm I really should get up and drive10:29
czajkowskibut now the rain has started ugh10:29

pleia2ooh, http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/It has begun!19:18
IdleOne:)19:19
IdleOne[14:16:20] <IdleOne> issyl0: it is going great from what I can tell. We got a lot of response from people adding theself to the sign up page19:19
IdleOne[14:17:18] <nigelbabu> pleia2, I dont think you look too overweight.  you look perfect :)19:19
IdleOne[14:17:33] <issyl0> IdleOne: ah, brilliant.19:19
IdleOne[14:17:35] <nigelbabu> (judging from the photos I've seen recently)19:19
IdleOne[14:17:44] <Pendulum> I was thinner, but I wasn't really eating at that point. And then I started eating again, but had completely messed my metabolism up.19:19
IdleOne[14:17:58] <Tm_T> pleia2: ah, I tend to fight against those social pressures, otherwise I would be something totally else what I am19:19
IdleOne[14:18:11] <elly> ==!19:19
IdleOne[14:18:43] <IdleOne> ubuntu-qc has myseld and two other people doing translation and estelle I saw add to the French wiki also. Italian,Spanish,Brazilia pages are started19:19
pleia2IdleOne: did you get permission to paste that?19:19
IdleOne[14:18:49] <IdleOne> myself*19:20
IdleOne[14:19:12] <pleia2> if you guys could take the translations talk into -project so it's logged that'd be awesome :)19:20
IdleOne[14:19:14] <IdleOne> really exciting to see how many people jumped in and started helping :)19:20
issyl0IdleOne: ??19:20
IdleOne[14:19:24] <Tm_T> good point there19:20
IdleOne[14:19:31] <pleia2> a lot of our translators aren't on IRC, they may depend on logs19:20
IdleOneerrr19:20
nigelbabuIdleOne, what just happened?19:20
IdleOne:( sorry I didn't ask19:20
issyl0IdleOne: you spammer :P19:20
pleia2IdleOne: please dont re-post from -women unless ou have permission19:20
* pleia2 is not entirely pleased that her weight talk got pasted :(19:20
* pleia2 sighs19:20
IdleOnePendulum: Tm_T elly I am very sorry19:20
IdleOnepleia2: I did not think before I did it19:20
IdleOneI am very very sorry and it will NEVER happen again19:21
* nigelbabu isn't very happy either about the weight talk being pasted19:21
pleia2oh well19:22
IdleOnenigelbabu I apologise to you also19:22
nigelbabu:/19:23
Tm_Tbut but, translations !19:24
pleia2yes, the Italian folks have started theirs!19:25
pleia2hey Dolasilla :)19:25
Dolasillahi pleia2! :)19:25
Dolasillahere is a piece of Italian folks! ;)19:25
pleia2IdleOne: how did you reference the images on Fr? did you add them as attachments?19:25
raghswhere am i ?19:26
raghsin ubuntu- women channel ?19:26
pleia2raghs: this is #ubuntu-women-project19:26
IdleOnepleia2: umm I believe I did19:26
IdleOnelemme look19:26
nigelbabuI heard a lot of good things about the italian team19:26
nigelbabueven TV interviews about Ubuntu19:26
Dolasillapleia2: I didn't have much time today, but I fear I'll have to re-upload the images to show them in the italian version19:27
Dolasilla:d tnx nigelbabu, tv interviews are due to Flavia, our press-office ;)19:28
nigelbabuDolasilla, wow :)19:28
pleia2Flavia is great19:28
Dolasilla:) yes she's doing a great job!19:28
IdleOnethere is a way to reference to the images. for the Header use <<Include(UWMenuHeaderXX)>> where the XX is the language code19:29
Dolasillamm ok IdleOne, and then how can I modify the UWMenuHeaderIT part? to translate it?19:29
IdleOnethe header also needs to be translated a little and the images uploaded but then you can use <<Include on other pages19:30
IdleOneDolasilla: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/UWMenuHeader is the english version19:30
IdleOnetranslate it and create a wiki page for It19:30
Dolasillaok, so as I include the IT version in my page the new wiki page will be automatically created, right?19:31
IdleOnethen  <<Include(UWMenuHeaderIt)>> at the top of your wiki pages19:31
Dolasillak19:31
raghs both are same ?19:31
IdleOneDolasilla: you will have to upload the Images to the wiki.ubuntu-women.org/It/UWMeneHeaderIt page19:32
Dolasillaso I have to download them from the english page and then re-upload them19:32
Dolasillaisn't there a way to directly reference the english page's ones?19:33
IdleOneDolasilla: if there is I don't know how :/19:34
IdleOneakgraner: might know19:34
IdleOnenigelbabu: ^^^?19:34
IdleOnemaybe nigelbabu knows19:34
* nigelbabu reads scroll back19:34
Dolasillaok, IdleOne, otherwise, nevermind, it was just not to upload duplicated stuff19:35
nigelbabuyou can copy pages and copy to the new page :)19:36
nigelbabuMore Action > Copy Page19:36
IdleOnenigelbabu: the thing is to have the images referenced but the text in the banner needs to be translated19:36
Dolasillauh? I copied the content of the page, with the reference to images, but they aren't shown..19:36
IdleOnedon't think it can be done19:36
IdleOneDolasilla: which page exactly?19:37
nigelbabuIdleOne, you can save the text elsewhere and then paste into the english one19:37
Dolasillaok, thanks a lot for the instructions!19:37
nigelbabuonce you copied the page into the IT version19:37
DolasillaIdleOne: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/It19:37
IdleOneok, gimme a minute have to fix something here on the windows machine19:39
Dolasillahihihi19:41
IdleOneok I see what you mean19:44
IdleOneummm if you like I will upload the images for you I already have them saved to this computer19:44
Dolasilla:) I've translated the top menu in the meanwhile19:45
Dolasillawell, don't worry, I can do it19:45
IdleOneI already started :P19:45
Dolasilla:D thanks a lot!!19:46
IdleOnedone :)19:46
IdleOnelooks pretty now :)19:46
DolasillaThanks a lot! :D19:47
IdleOnemy pleasure Dolasilla19:47
IdleOneor should I say Prego!19:47
Dolasilla:D grazie, then! ;)19:48
Dolasilladinner-time in Italy, thanks again IdleOne, goodnight everyone! :)20:00
IdleOneGood night Dolasilla, buona cena20:00
IdleOnethink I spelled that wrong lol20:00
pleia2IdleOne: fwiw, the mentoring pages probably shouldn't be translated yet, they're not accurate21:13
IdleOnepleia2: want to remove them ?21:13
pleia2I'll try to go through the wiki tonight and update http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/WeShouldFix21:13
IdleOneand just link to the original version for now?21:13
pleia2maybe21:13
IdleOneok I will take it of the ToDo page21:14
pleia2it's just not worth the effort to translate since they'll be completely overhauled21:14
IdleOnemakes sense21:14
pleia2which is the ToDo page for Fr?21:14
IdleOneAFaire21:14
pleia2ok, thanks21:14
pleia2I'll make it so WeShouldFix will be an index of pages that are bad/inaccurate/whatever so translators can know (and we can fix them, the original purpose of that page!)21:15
IdleOnethe mentoringFAQ is almost done just need to look it over and make sure it is accurate21:15
pleia2mentoringfaq is going to be completely rewritten too21:16
pleia2none of the mentoring stuff is right21:16
IdleOnewell jack spent a lot of time working that one :/21:16
pleia2it's a maverick blueprint goal21:16
pleia2sorry :(21:16
IdleOneno problem. things happen :)21:16
pleia2that's the trouble with springing this translations project on us! ;)21:16
pleia2we weren't prepared21:17
pleia2it's great, but it's not going to go super smooth21:17
IdleOneyeah, but look at all the cool work I gave you to do now :P21:17
pleia2hah21:17
IdleOnenever expected it to go smooth21:17
IdleOnewould of been nice though21:18
* pleia2 work &21:18
IdleOnepleia2: I am going to leave them on the page and put DO NOT TRANSLATE instead of removing21:18
IdleOnewith a short explanation as to why21:19
IdleOnethis way the people who have worked on the page won't be like WT...21:19
IdleOneif they are just gone21:20
akgranerpleia2, I'll work on a spreadsheet/checklist so we can see what has been done and what still needs to be done21:20
akgranergotta get a good view of things21:20
akgranerif that hasn't been done yet21:20
akgranerthen I'll share so those who are working on the translations can add commentary about progress and stuff21:21
IdleOneok updated AFaire21:22
pleia2akgraner: can you work on http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/WeShouldFix rather than a spreadsheet?21:22
IdleOnewould be great if we could have one page for all the translations that need to be done (for all the languages)21:23
IdleOnethis way we would all have one central place to keep up to date and easier for the team to keep track of, instead of 20 different todo pages21:23
IdleOnea suggestion21:24
IdleOne:)21:24
pleia2or maybe a spreadsheet for *everything* but put your "need to be fixed" stuff up on http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/WeShouldFix so everyone can see it :)21:24
akgranerhehe yeah21:24
* pleia2 just added the mentoring pages to WeShouldFix21:24
akgraneryep  - I was going to add it to the wiki21:24
pleia2I was planning on working on this some tonight too, do you want to handle it instead?21:25
akgranerbut just quickly get a spreadsheet up then add a table on the wiki ie pages in english on the left  - languages across the top21:25
akgranerthen checks for whats done21:25
akgraneror block out what to hold off on21:26
akgranerthat's kinda what I was thinking21:26
akgranergive me about an hour I'll get something up so you all can see21:26
pleia2ok :)21:26
akgranermight be hard to picture21:27
* IdleOne sits on the edge of his chair21:27
IdleOne59 minutes 26 seconds left21:27
IdleOne:)21:27
pleia2lol21:28
IdleOnehmm maverick21:28
IdleOnenot so crazy about that21:28
IdleOneleast not for a lts21:28
pleia2it's not for an lts21:29
IdleOneohhh that's right21:29
pleia2lucid lynx is the lts :)21:29
IdleOnelol21:29
PendulumI hate to say it, but every time I hear "Maverick" I think of John McCain :-/21:29
IdleOnewell then it ROCKS!21:29
IdleOnePendulum: I think of TopGun21:29
IdleOnewait McCain was a pilot21:29
Pendulum(not because I think he is one, but because he used the word so much and I think it was his Secret Service code name or something)21:29
* pleia2 likes meerkats a lot, isn't bothered by the qualifier21:31
PendulumI do like the meerkat21:32
issyl0pleia2: sure21:36
pleia2thanks :)21:36
pleia2a lot of the translations folks don't use IRC so may depend on logs to keep up, so it's especially important to keep it in the logged channel21:36
issyl0OK :)21:38
IdleOneok http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Fr/Contacter is done21:43
issyl0IdleOne: I just fixed some minor errors (probably typos) on the main wiki page.21:53
issyl0Hmm, gonna start on one other page now.21:53
IdleOneissyl0: yup got it in my inbox21:54
issyl0IdleOne: ah, nice.21:55
IdleOneissyl0: I am subscribed to all the Fr pages21:55
issyl0Poor you :P21:56
IdleOnefigured out my evolution filters so it all gets sorted nicely21:56
IdleOne:)21:56
issyl0Ah, that's alright then.21:57
IdleOnehaha funny you are translating the mispelling of english word on the French pages :)22:02
issyl0:)22:02
issyl0They just got confused, that's all :)22:03
IdleOneyeah was me22:05
IdleOne:P22:05
issyl0Oh well, that kinda thing happens :)22:10
IdleOneissyl0: remeber to add your name to the AFaire page if you decide to take on a page :)22:11
IdleOneremember*22:11
issyl0IdleOne: yep!22:11
IdleOne:) btw you rock for helping out!22:11
IdleOneI'll be back22:11
issyl0Thanks!22:15
issyl0I'll try and do some more tonight, fixing any minor errors I see and then next week or tomorrow morning (that's dedication isn't it?!) or Sunday morning I'll start translating more pages.22:16
issyl0Good work so far!22:16
akgranerwow there are *a lot* of pages - this will take a few more mins but I am working on it :-)22:27
akgranerdang this is tedious - but you can get the idea of what I am taking about here  - http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/PagesNeedingTranslated23:32
akgranerpleia2, I'll move it but that is the idea and we can just add colors and links the the ones that are complete23:32
akgranerIdleOne, I'll let you know when I have it filled out a little more with the ones that are complete added so you can see what I am talking about a little easier23:35
