ChrisWoollard[TOPIC] Quickshot update20:21
MootBotNew Topic:  Quickshot update20:21
jenkinsIt functions enough to create the screenshots for the next release, I could do with a list as I have yet to install latex20:22
jenkins*list of screenshots20:22
godbyk(Okay, I've pasted the emails and resumes that we've received so far to http://kevin.godby.org/private/ubuntu-manual/jobs/.)20:22
ChrisWoollardgodbyk. We will come back to that.20:22
jenkinsI am trying to fix a bug  with the contributor details but not managed yet as flan did a rewrite20:23
godbykChrisWoollard: np.20:23
jenkinsI will get my head around it though.20:23
jenkinswe could do with some more people. Nothing much eles to say20:23
jenkinswhere did the website get to?20:24
ChrisWoollardjenkins: Is there any documentation on Quickshot?20:24
jenkinsno afraid not20:24
daker_jenkins, http://test.ubuntu-manual.org20:25
jenkinsdaker_ how about the quickshot one20:25
daker_it's almost complete20:26
jenkinsnice :)20:26
ChrisWoollardOkay. Maybe then we should collect a list of chapters and get volunteers to get a list of screenshots for that chapter?20:26
ChrisWoollardto spread the load a little20:26
jenkinsI will install latex in the mean while20:26
ChrisWoollardJenkins: What exactly do you need screenshot wise?20:27
jenkinsthe resolution we want the at, sicking with 1024x768?20:27
ChrisWoollardyes. for now.20:28
RawChidHey, I just fall into this, but what did you mean by < jenkins> we could do with some more people.20:28
jenkinsa description of them and the aplication20:28
jenkinsWell I dont have much time so people willing to code python and create docs for quickshot would be great20:28
RawChidOkay20:28
RawChidSo you need developers20:29
jenkinsyep, my python is basic at best20:29
dutchiei have been known to poke at python from time to time20:29
* dutchie downloads source code20:29
jenkinssounds good. shall we move to another topic?20:30
jenkinsls20:30

ChrisWoollard[topic] Feedback on jobs part 220:32
MootBotNew Topic:  Feedback on jobs part 220:32
ChrisWoollardjenkins: yes, installer, plus some app changes20:33
godbykI've pasted the text of the emails and the attached resumes/CVs here: http://kevin.godby.org/private/ubuntu-manual/jobs/20:33
godbykWe had two applicants for the project leader role and three applicants for the editor in chief role.20:33
dutchiewell i suppose the first thing is whether we leave applications open or not20:34
c7pgodbyk: the advertisement has been done through the uk podacast ?20:34
dutchiethen how we choose between applicants20:34
dutchiec7p: i believe so, yes20:34
ChrisWoollardplus the planet20:34
godbykChrisWoollard handled the advertising. We had an announcement on the UK podcast and also posted to Planet Ubuntu.20:35
godbykChrisWoollard: Were there any other adverts?20:35
c7pok thx20:35
ChrisWoollardthe mailing list20:35
godbykAh, right. And the Ubuntu Manual mailing list.20:35
ChrisWoollardI also believe I Tweeted it to #Ubuntu20:36
godbykNobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!20:37
dutchie@TheUbuntuManual didn't tweet it though20:37
manualbotdutchie: Error: "TheUbuntuManual" is not a valid command.20:37
dutchiecough20:37
dutchiesilly manualbot20:37
godbykdutchie: Yeah, I can't find the password for that account. I'll have to email Ben about that.20:37
ChrisWoollardno. I think we were looking for the logins for that20:37
ChrisWoollard[ACTION] Godbyk to e-mail Ben to get the logins to our Twitter account :)20:38
MootBotACTION received:  Godbyk to e-mail Ben to get the logins to our Twitter account :)20:38
jenkinsI think I may have the login some where20:38
c7pif the jobs are still open to new applicants then maybe we should update the facebook about the advertisements and also send a mail to OMG!Ubuntu guys, probably to Ben20:38
ChrisWoollardAny thoughts on the applicants20:39
godbykAction completed. :-)20:39
ChrisWoollard:)20:39
ChrisWoollardIf we are going to leave it open then the webpage should be modified20:39
ChrisWoollardto remove the date.20:39
c7pyes you are right20:40
jenkinsdoes that not imply we do not like any of the candiates that have appled so far?20:40
c7pno20:41
ChrisWoollardWe haven't heard any feedback yet20:41
godbykjenkins: Not necessarily. It'd be nice to have a larger pool of applicants, though.  And we should probably have advertised it more widely.20:41
c7pthe fact is that i didn't knew about the adv to promote it, maybe there are many other people out there that are also interested20:41
jenkinssure, just putting a thought out there20:41
ChrisWoollardWe should change it so that people know it is community and not paid ;)20:42
c7pi think the more options we have the better for the project20:42
ChrisWoollardagreed20:42
godbykIt sounds like most people think we should extend the deadline.  If so, what's the new proposed deadline?20:43
ChrisWoollardanother 2 weeks?20:43
c7ptwo weeks max20:43
ChrisWoollardgodbyk: can you adjust the dates on the webpage?20:44
godbykChrisWoollard: Sure.20:44
godbykSo the new deadline is Friday, 25 March?20:44

godbykChrisWoollard: How's the note at the top of http://ubuntu-manual.org/jobs sound?20:48
ChrisWoollardThat should do it. :D20:49
godbykI tried to be as clear as possible. :)20:49
ChrisWoollardIt is probably so obvious that people won't see it20:49
c7pshould we add also editors, writters to the job list ? Natty release is near20:49
c7pChrisWoollard: haha20:50
ChrisWoollardAs we have Jenkins here, maybe he could review the quickshot job description20:51
ChrisWoollardc7p: do you have the link?20:51
c7phm just a moment20:51
godbykIf we get some Quickshot developers on board, we'll need to be able to send them to jenkins or flan or someone to get them started.20:52
godbykjenkins: Will you be able to help new developers get up to speed?20:52
ChrisWoollardI'll mail Ben and the Linux Outlaws people about the jobs20:52
jenkinsI can't explain the code very much faln did most/ all of it20:52

godbykYes?20:58
ChrisWoollardweren't you going to branch 10.10?20:58
godbykI can, yeah.20:58
godbykAre we effectively at a writing freeze there?  (i.e., is it a good time to branch, or should I wait?)20:58
ChrisWoollardat least then we can say to people that we can review and update the text20:58
godbykOr should we wait until we've made a decision re: docbook?20:58
ChrisWoollardI don't know.20:59
ChrisWoollardThere was an item to the mailing list about collaborating more with the doc team20:59
godbykYeah, it's still sitting in my inbox. I want to write Phil back.21:00
godbykI'm always up for collaboration.21:00
godbykOur last conversation just kind of petered out, I think.21:00
ChrisWoollardDoes anybody have views on branching now or waiting until maverick is complete?21:01
ChrisWoollardActually21:01
ChrisWoollardLets defer until next meeting.21:02
godbykOkay.21:02

jenkinsthanks, I will try to hang around a bit more21:18
ChrisWoollardJenkins: Can you write me a brief overview on quickshot. what it does, why it is so great, and maybe how to use it.21:19
c7pgodbyk: interesting21:19
jenkinsI will work on it ChrisWoollard, probably starting with how to use it21:20
ChrisWoollardI know you showed me a bit. but it didn't really help me understand it21:20
jenkinsnp I will endevor to create some instructions21:21
ChrisWoollardI want to try and get more people to understand it.21:21
jenkinsmakes sensecurrently there are 2 people who know how to me and faln21:22
ChrisWoollardIt seems that screenshots are the main hold up at the moment for the maverick manual21:22
jenkins:( sorry my fauk21:22
jenkins*fault21:22
ChrisWoollardNot totally. We as a team have neglected that side of things. So don't really know anything obout quickshot.21:23
ChrisWoollardSo, with any luck we can change that. and get us going again :)21:25
ChrisWoollardOn a seperate note. How are you? It has been a long time since you have been seen.21:25
