ChrisWoollardGoodnight all. Until tomorrow.00:59
godbykG'night, ChrisWoollard.01:02
ChrisWoollardwell done.01:03
ChrisWoollardg'night.01:03
brandonjis the maverick branch ready to go?02:19
brandonjI suppose not02:29
=== Zeike is now known as brandonj
ChrisWoollard_godbyk: Is there a way to update all to bugs for lucid-e2 with a status of fix commited to have a new status of fix released?07:38
godbykIf there is, I'm not aware of it.07:38
godbykI was looking around a bit earlier for it and didn't see one.07:38
godbykWe need to bump some of the blueprints from lucid-e1 and -e2 to maverick as well.07:39
ChrisWoollard_I notice that on https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/+series it says active development07:41
ChrisWoollard_is there a way to change the status?07:42
godbykI updated that.07:43
godbykI don't know if it takes time for the change to take effect or what.07:44
godbykI'll play with it more tomorrow. I'm off to bed now.07:45
godbykHey, thorwil.07:45
ChrisWoollard_laters07:45
thorwilmorning!07:45
ChrisWoollard_morning07:46
godbykthorwil: I'm off to bed, but if you have thoughts on any book design changes we should look into for the maverick edition, shoot me an email or leave me a message here.07:46
godbykg'night!07:46
ChrisWoollard_i'll go through and change the status of the bugs07:46
godbykthanks, ChrisWoollard07:47
ChrisWoollard_Hmmm, launchpad is not happy08:30
ChrisWoollard_I'll have to finish working on it later08:34
ChrisWoollardSorry about all the e-mails.09:24
ChrisWoollardmorning thishumphreybc09:46
thishumphreybchi09:47
ChrisWoollardcan you add a comment to me wiki http://wiki.ubuntu.com/cwoollard09:48
ChrisWoollardmy09:48
ChrisWoollardIs the meeting happening on Sunday?09:49
ChrisWoollardyou are going through a lot of tunnels09:53
nisshhthishumphreybc: is there a team meeting this sunday?10:05
thishumphreybcshit wireless10:06
nisshhheh10:07
ChrisWoollardI noticed, i thought you kept going through a tunnel10:07
nisshhChrisWoollard: a tunnel?10:07
ChrisWoollardeither that, or you kept popping in and out of existence in a doctor who kind of way10:07
nisshhlol10:08
ChrisWoollardnissh: his line kept dropping10:08
nisshhyep10:08
ChrisWoollard_How come the maverick branch is not known as lp:ubuntu-manual/maverick but is instead known as just lp:ubuntu-manual10:37
dutchiebecause it's the dev focus10:37
ChrisWoollard_fair enough10:44
ChrisWoollard_that does make sense. To be honest though, that was a stupid question. I could have guessed that myself.10:46
ChrisWoollardhttp://www.weebls-stuff.com/songs/Narwhals/14:28
nisshhChrisWoollard: i saw that thismorning :)14:30
nisshhbeen stuck in my head ever since14:30
ChrisWoollardI think it is genius (at the moment).14:30
nisshhheh14:34
thorwilgodbyk: looking at page 33, i think all the bold terms ("Properties", "General") should be italic. or just sans, if that stands out enough.16:22
thorwilgodbyk: looks a bit like the hyphenation patterns don't suffice16:22
thorwilgodbyk: lots of quotation marks on page 43 :(16:24
thorwilgodbyk: the warning icons such as the one on page 45 should sit lower. like drop-caps over 2 lines should be about right16:27
thorwilgodbyk: looking at the list below 9. on page 49, there seems to be a vertical gap before the first bullet point. that gap shouldn't exist16:29
thorwilgodbyk: (icons for notes that fit on a single line should keep the current alignment)16:33
dakergodbyk, i didn't see any announce concerning the second edition16:50
dakerin facebook, twitter or the ML16:51
ChrisWoollardI just gt a notice saying that my print manual has been shipped. :)16:57
godbyk-android2daker: I haven't sent a notice yet. I was waiting for the website to get updated first.17:47
dakergodbyk-android2, when your have time you can check the website17:47
dakers/your/you17:48
godbyk-android2I'll do that in just a few minutes. Thanks!17:49
dakeroki17:49
godbykdaker: Looks like the site's working great now.  Thanks for working on that!18:00
godbykI'll write up an announcement.18:01
godbykWhat changes did we make in e2?  Anything besides bug fixes?18:01
MuscovyNot that I'm aware of.18:01
godbykthorwil: Thanks for the notes.  I'll add those to the list.  Feel free to let me know of anything else you find.18:02
godbykthorwil: What do you think about ragged right vs. justified?18:02
thorwilgodbyk: justified would help the screenshot placement to become clearer. can only hope it won't rip too many/wide holes18:04
godbykthorwil: It might make the screenshot placement look even more odd.  If you have a screenshot that's just slightly too wide to fit in the main text block and it gets centered across the page, it may look more out of place.18:05
godbykGuess we'll try it and see what happens.18:05
godbykIt's easy to switch it back. :)18:05
thorwilgodbyk: the just slightly to wide shots should be left-aligned, perhaps18:06
godbykAlso, the ragged right does let us get away with having lines that are slightly too long and too short without having to worry about rivers and hyphenation and whatnot as much.18:06
dakergodbyk, nop18:06
thorwilgodbyk: it's also great for identifying wannabe-typhophiles :)18:07
godbykHey, ChrisWoollard_.. thanks for filling my inbox with bug report change notifications. ;-)  (Actually, thanks for updating them all -- it's a pain to do!)18:07
* godbyk hides from the wannabe typophiles!18:07
godbykWhy's the maverick branch so much larger than the lucid-e2 branch?18:15
ChrisWoollardSorry about those e-mails. There should only been about 200 :P18:33
godbykChrisWoollard: Yeah, there were 200 and some odd of 'em.18:38
ChrisWoollardWell.... At least it is done. I talked to the launchpad people and they said there was no way to do the whole lot in one go through the web interface18:40
brandonjWhere do I go to purchase a printed copy?18:41
godbykYou'd think that by telling launchpad that a series has been released that it would automatically flag all the fix-committed bugs to fix-released.18:41
dakerbrandonj, go to website then hit "buy the book"18:41
godbykbrandonj: Go to ubuntu-manual.org, then click on the star overlaying the page images.18:41
brandonjoh duh18:41
brandonjI was looking all over the website for that =P18:41
brandonjguess I didn't sleep enough last night18:42
godbykChrisWoollard: We should also review any outstanding lucid-e1 and lucid-e2 bugs and, if they still exist, retarget them for maverick.18:42
ChrisWoollardApparently there is an api to script it.18:42
ChrisWoollardAlso there is an outstanding feature request for it in the web interface18:43
godbykI see.18:43
dakerChrisWoollard, the launchpadlib18:44
ChrisWoollardI think so.18:44
ChrisWoollardApparently there is a script in the source tree also. But i couldn't work out which one it was.18:44
dakerChrisWoollard, can you explain to me what you want to do ?18:45
dakeri can help18:45
godbykdaker: When we release a manual (say, lucid-e2), we'd like to take all of the lucid-e2 bugs that have status "Fix Committed" and change the status to "Fix Released".18:45
dakerthat's all18:46
daker?18:46
ChrisWoollardNothiong now/18:46
godbykdaker: Well, that's the first thing, I guess. :)18:46
godbykWe've already done it manually for lucid-e2.18:46
godbykBut if we had a script, we could use it when we release maverick.18:46
ChrisWoollardWhat i was trying to do was get all the fix commited bugs to change to fix released18:46
ChrisWoollardbecause it doesn't do it automatically18:47
dakeri'll take a look18:48
ChrisWoollarddo  you think we can close this now. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/+bug/49965718:49
manualbotLaunchpad bug 499657 in ubuntu-manual "Manual is incomplete" [Critical,In progress]18:49
godbykChrisWoollard: yeah, I saw that. I think it's supposed to be like the ultimate meta bug for our project. But I don't like open bugs. So I vote for closing it. :)18:51
ChrisWoollardAnd quite frankly. We have released 2 editions. So it better be complete.18:52
godbykI concur.18:54
ChrisWoollardOk. It is going to be closed.18:54

ChrisWoollardevening19:11
jenkinsI passed crane training, but am still unsure when i will every use it. I can now move up to 15 tons around the factory, as I am in an office it helps :P19:13
flan_jenkins, pong.19:13
jenkinshey flan_ can we decide to use the logo I showed you last night if we adjust the colours of the dekstops?19:14
ChrisWoollardYou could have a lot of fun with a crane :)19:14
jenkinshttp://www.foopics.com/showfull/4a0a3d709163b46dd879aee55ddd5f1b19:14
flan_I don't see why not.19:14
jenkinsright so that is the new logo then19:15
flan_Yay. Progress.19:15
jenkinsthorwil:19:15
jenkinswe have a decision19:15
flan_Time 'til Internets: 67 hours,19:15
jenkins:-D19:15
jenkinsso what distro desktops should we use for the three pictures flan_?19:16
jenkinsopen suse for the ked19:16
jenkins*kde19:17
thorwiljenkins: cool :) still *icon*, not so much logo19:17
ChrisWoollardslackware, gentoo & whatever is the bottom to the distrowatch list :D19:17
jenkinswell an icon is a start, I would like it to not just be ubuntu releated19:18
thorwilsince distro branding is *so* sophisticated, i just need to hit certain ranges of blue or green for it to stand for suse or fedora :)19:19
ChrisWoollardand probably likely to change19:20
jenkinsthorwil: yep that sounds good19:21
thorwilChrisWoollard: actually i think bottom-linux, last-will-winnux and leetnix are at the bottom of the distrowatch list. nothing with more than 5 users can exost there19:23
jenkinsok 11.04 will be called Natty Narwhal19:27
thorwilnaturally19:31
MuscovyNatty is a cool word. :D19:33
thorwilright, not nutty or nitty-gritty19:36
