philipballewpleia2, hey! so I found an interesting article. well to me... how do I determine where i put it or if it should go anywhere in google docs17:11
pleia2philipballew: you can paste it here17:11
pleia2we talk a lot in here as the weekend progresses17:12
philipballewhttp://ubuntu.igameilive.com/2011/07/what-orange-is-ubuntu-orange.html17:12
pleia2good one, but we already have the source article included (the canonical design post)17:13
philipballewi see, that makes sense. do they have to be on the list of websites or am I allowed to go "into the wild and look"?17:14
pleia2please go into the wild :)17:14
pleia2I've done a basic browse through the massive list of sites (added a bunch to my RSS reader)17:14
philipballewwhat level of computer knowledge ore we going after here?17:16
pleia2hard to say, but as long as it's related to ubuntu, it's worth looking at here at least17:17
pleia2so we don't want the latest kernel news (too generic linux), but "oneiric is shipping with $version kernel" is good17:17
philipballewmakes sence. ill paste them here in a bit when i get 5 or 617:18
philipballewi assume uds sponsorships is already been mentioned.17:19
pleia2yep17:19

nlsthznHey...quick question on the summary writing... how brief are you guys aiming for ... on the google doc, is "Run Ocelot, Run!" done for instance?21:25
philipballewnlsthzn, i would do 2. 3 sentences max21:31
philipballewi did the summery for run ocelot and its done21:31
nlsthznphilipballew: OK cool... so it is really a quick condense look at the basic idea of the story... cool thanks... (Will see if I can chip in...)21:32
philipballewbasically. thats what i was told21:32
holsteinnlsthzn: they get looked at a lot21:33
holsteinif you get an idea, and its short, go for it21:33
holsteinit can always be edited21:33
holsteini think the shorter and more conscise the better21:33
nlsthznok, thanks :)21:34
nlsthzn... ok, this may sound retarded in this day and age but I have never used Google docs... ever... after making an edit... do I simply hit the save button? (man, do I feel stupid asking this...)21:45
holsteinnlsthzn: no worries21:46
holsteinit *should* auto-save21:46
MrChrisDruifIndeed21:46
holsteini usually put my name in the article im working on21:46
holsteinso no one else starts working on it too21:46
holsteinsometimes it doesnt auto-save and you need to hit the button21:46
holsteinthe issue is, how to tell...21:47
MrChrisDruifIn the top right corner you should see a grayed-out rounded-down rectangle with "Saved" in it21:47
holsteinyeah ^^ and its mostly functional21:47
nlsthznoh yes... I see it now :p thanks... it says saved...21:48
nlsthznI was expecting an autosave... it makes sense... but didn't want to bet on it and loose anything :)21:49
