| EricThibault | Is there an admin online? | 17:31 |
| UndiFineD | hello EricThibault | 17:33 |
| EricThibault | Hi | 17:33 |
| EricThibault | I would like to join the team :) | 17:33 |
| UndiFineD | great, we could use a few more active people | 17:34 |
| === UndiFineD changed the topic of #ubuntu-tour to: The Ubuntu Tour Project! | http://ubuntutour.org | Join https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-tour | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTour/Todo#List | Let's finish the writing ! | ||
| UndiFineD | in this topic are all the links | 17:34 |
| EricThibault | I'm a 17 years old student, just discovered Ubuntu about 3 months ago, did massive learning on this OS, including Desktop and Server | 17:34 |
| EricThibault | Okay, I just read : Send us an email or stop by the #ubuntu-tour channel on irc.freenode.net to ask us a question, introduce yourself, or get to know the other members of the team. | 17:35 |
| EricThibault | I thought it was an essential step to join the team | 17:35 |
| Omega | I'm here | 18:53 |
| Omega | damn | 18:53 |
| Omega | he left | 18:53 |
| UndiFineD | Omega, into assimilation modus ? | 19:41 |
| Omega | Hmm? | 19:47 |
| EricThibault | Hi Muscovy! | 22:11 |
| Muscovy | Hello EricThibault. | 22:13 |
| EricThibault | I just read the email you sent me | 22:14 |
| EricThibault | So, your team is about showing people how Ubuntu can be amazing and used everywhere, right? | 22:14 |
| Muscovy | Yep. | 22:14 |
| EricThibault | And how do you proceed? | 22:14 |
| Muscovy | As in from our current progress? | 22:15 |
| EricThibault | Yeah | 22:15 |
| Muscovy | We're hoping to finish writing some stuff on Evolution, Firefox, and Rhythmbox, | 22:15 |
| Muscovy | then we'll start packaging the tour, and ask people for opinions. | 22:16 |
| Muscovy | On how understandable it is, if we've missed topics, etc. | 22:16 |
| EricThibault | Let's say I'm a windows standard user, and I don't even know the words Ubuntu, Linux, OpenSource. How will I land on your website, if you have one? How will you try to convince me to leave 30 years of windows utilisation to get on Ubuntu? | 22:16 |
| Muscovy | Well, I don't think we're using the website as anything other than a developer portal at the moment. | 22:16 |
| EricThibault | By the way, I read that you are an high school student! I just graduated last year, im 17! | 22:16 |
| Muscovy | Ah, same age as me. :D | 22:17 |
| EricThibault | Are you using a CMS for the website? | 22:17 |
| Muscovy | Wait. | 22:17 |
| Muscovy | Nope, just from scratch. | 22:17 |
| EricThibault | Or it's all javascript, html and css? | 22:17 |
| Muscovy | ANd some php. | 22:17 |
| Muscovy | I used php for a few ease-of-editing stuff. | 22:17 |
| Muscovy | We do hope to have an online version of the tour. | 22:18 |
| EricThibault | Because it's pretty basic. I know you don't know me much, but I just completed a DEP in Quebec, Canada, which is, if i translate, Professionnal Studies Diploma, thats almost like college. | 22:18 |
| Muscovy | Ah. | 22:18 |
| Muscovy | Yeah, the website does need some updates. | 22:18 |
| EricThibault | And I'll finish it in 3 days. Since I've started it, i've made 1800hrs, focused on programming, and a bit of networking. | 22:19 |
| EricThibault | So i'm pretty good with the web, and did you know that CMS are a lot easier to work with, and give better results in less time? | 22:19 |
| Muscovy | I didn't. | 22:20 |
| EricThibault | You know what's a CMS? | 22:20 |
| Muscovy | I learned this morning actually. | 22:20 |
| EricThibault | Content Management System. Those allow you to do like 95% less code. | 22:20 |
| EricThibault | And the visual effects are way better | 22:21 |
| Muscovy | Would you recommend a particular one? | 22:21 |
| EricThibault | As an example, this is one of our school's website. Took like 5 minutes to do + adding the text : http://lepisc.com/intranet/ | 22:22 |
| EricThibault | I know it's in french, just for you to see the result! | 22:22 |
| Muscovy | I use Chrome, so I translated it. | 22:22 |
| EricThibault | Ok, cool | 22:23 |
| Muscovy | Yeah, I see what you mean. | 22:23 |
| EricThibault | Tell me if you think I'm too fast, I know we don't know each other yet. You could make me a subdomain, I could build up the website, because I have a lot of free time, and then, if you like the result, we can easily switch it to the primary domain | 22:24 |
| Muscovy | That or I could give you the code (it's in a bzr branch) and you could do it locally. | 22:24 |
| Muscovy | My webhost locks ftp accounts like crazy. | 22:25 |
| Muscovy | In the creation of the site we had a lot of issues there. | 22:25 |
| EricThibault | Yeah, doing it locally, on a small LAMP server could work pretty well. | 22:25 |
| EricThibault | I'd show you the results with some screens | 22:25 |
| EricThibault | Just a question! What time are you usually logged on, and what time is it where you live? So I could easily contact you on the IRC channel! | 22:26 |
| Muscovy | On weekdays I'm on from about 11:30 PM to 5:00 AM UTC. | 22:28 |
| Muscovy | On and off. | 22:28 |
| Muscovy | Feel free to email me or the email list too. | 22:28 |
| EricThibault | Good | 22:29 |
| EricThibault | Where do you live? | 22:29 |
| Muscovy | West coast of Canada. | 22:31 |
| EricThibault | Im near Montreal! | 22:31 |
| EricThibault | Which explains why I'm a frenchie | 22:32 |
| Muscovy | Indeed. | 22:32 |
| Muscovy | I keep meaning to update the site, so I'll play with it during the next week. | 22:35 |
| Muscovy | There's a sync of it here: https://code.launchpad.net/~muscovy/+junk/ubuntu-tour-site | 22:35 |
| Muscovy | The sync excludes a few things like the IRC logs. | 22:35 |
| EricThibault | What's a branch? | 22:35 |
| Muscovy | Oh. | 22:35 |
| Muscovy | Ever used something like Git or SVN? | 22:35 |
| EricThibault | Sorry, I'm new to launchpad | 22:35 |
| EricThibault | Nope | 22:35 |
| Muscovy | We use Bzr (Bazaar), a version Control SYstem. | 22:36 |
| Muscovy | VCS are systems that intelligently upload/sync project files. | 22:36 |
| Muscovy | They deal with merges and so on. | 22:36 |
| EricThibault | Ok | 22:37 |
| Muscovy | http://ubuntutour.org/contribute/branch/ explains the basics of using it. | 22:37 |
| Muscovy | Most the the page stuff it setup. | 22:37 |
| EricThibault | thanks, ill check that | 22:37 |
| EricThibault | Hi again! | 23:37 |
| EricThibault | I have a question! Do you want the website of Ubuntu Tour to be similar to Ubuntu.com, or just a nice sleek finish, with many nice options? | 23:38 |
| Muscovy | EricThibault, we're trying to go with the Ubuntu style. | 23:41 |
| Muscovy | So it doesn't need to mirror it, but the same conventions would be nice. | 23:41 |
| EricThibault | What do you mean by conventions? | 23:41 |
| Muscovy | The same general colour schemes and so on. | 23:42 |
| Muscovy | http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ might be useful. | 23:42 |
| EricThibault | Is Ubuntu design (like ubuntu.com) open source, because i'd just copy the pictures, and build something really awesome, no wordpress, just with some js and jquery | 23:46 |
| Muscovy | I think it is. | 23:52 |
| EricThibault | So I can copy the images, and just change the text? | 23:53 |
| Muscovy | I believe so. | 23:54 |
