[18:57] <rickfosb> Hi hannie
[18:57] <Hannie> hi rickfosb, can you read my text? I'm having problems with Ubuntu
[18:58] <c7p>  hey rickfosb, i've just read your mail
[18:58] <rickfosb> telling the truth; I've not been on my home machine yet so its in my inbox waiting on me this evening;  I'll let you know if i have problems
[18:59] <Hannie> hi C7p
[18:59] <c7p> hey Hannie :)
[18:59] <rickfosb> thanks c7p;  Wife is driving,  I'm tring to type... :)
[19:00] <Hannie> I had a crash today, so I am a bit handicapped. Only a small part of Ubuntu is working at the moment
[19:00] <rickfosb> C7p: saw your email re the new outline for the desktop chapter;  I like it a lot;
[19:00] <c7p> rickfosb: hehe, i guess the whole situation is kinda weird :P. i hope you won't have any probs
[19:00] <c7p> thx
[19:01] <c7p> hey godbyk are you there ?
[19:01] <rickfosb> I'll be home in about two hours and will work on hannie's text and formalize you outlint into the spreadsheet if we all agree
[19:02] <Hannie> c7p, sorry I didn't stick to my part of the chapter. You can just keep your text, hand it in, improve it, whatever you like
[19:03] <rickfosb> I'll figure it out;  *rickfosb is 120 kph 70 mph... thank goodness for data cards
[19:04] <c7p> Hannie: no worries, since these 3 paragraphs are more relevant to your section, we can either modify it or use it
[19:04] <c7p> them*
[19:05] <Hannie> c7p, I'll send you my text as soon as I can reach Ubuntu again
[19:05] <c7p> Hannie: ok
[19:05] <rickfosb> I have a copy in my inbox; (assuming it hasn't changed) hannie
[19:06] <rickfosb> I can forward to c7p, or can do an edit and push?
[19:07] <Hannie> rickfosb, did I send you my text for the Desktop chapter? I do not think I did
[19:07] <c7p> rickfosb: whatever you want :)
[19:07] <c7p> i guess we should start the meeting soon, it's past 19:00 UTC already
[19:07] <Hannie> godbyk is not present yet
[19:08] <rickfosb> maybe my mistake;  I know i got a text submission from on of the team.   I thought was you...  :0
[19:09] <Hannie> rickfosb, I wished I had sent it to you. At the moment I cannot get at my documents, mailbox etc.
[19:10] <rickfosb> hannie; you are correct;  i got a text file from one ot the other members...
[19:10] <Hannie> Luckily I had synchronized with Ubuntu One, but even Ubuntu One is out of reach.
[19:10] <Hannie> Tomorrow I hope to have successfully restored my system
[19:11] <c7p> i think we have to proceed, maybe Kevin will come on the way
[19:11] <rickfosb> c7p: can you start the meeting?
[19:11] <Hannie> fine with me
[19:11] <rickfosb> or, we can keep this real informal
[19:12] <c7p> @ all, let's see how many are you here for the meeting ? raise your hands !
[19:12] <manualbot> c7p: Error: "all," is not a valid command.
[19:12] <Hannie> present
[19:12] <rickfosb> present
[19:13] <c7p> anyone else ?
[19:13] <Hannie> If we are just the three of us, perhaps we can discuss coordination of Desktop chapter?
[19:14] <c7p> sure Hannie
[19:14] <rickfosb> agreed
[19:14] <Hannie> I have a few questions:
[19:14] <Hannie> latex code: will this be checked by someone?
[19:14] <c7p> hm
[19:15] <c7p> the latex code if isn't correct syntacticly raises errors during manual compilation (latex => pdf)
[19:15] <c7p> so yes they are checked
[19:16] <rickfosb> c7p: based on your outline, and hannie's emails,  I could start getting the screenshots toghether while you guys work on the text if that would help
[19:16] <Hannie> for instance: what should launcher and dash be preceded by?
[19:16] <rickfosb> yes on latex: we'll see that during the build and final edits
[19:16] <Hannie> \application{Dash}?
[19:16] <c7p> Hannie: i use the \menu for launcher and  \application for dash, i think we should advice kevin for this
[19:17] <Hannie> I try to follow kevin's style-guide, but not everything is clear to me
[19:17] <Hannie> c7p, you are right. Kevin knows the answers to this
[19:18] <c7p> rickfosb: do you want as to send you the screenshots together with our sections ?
[19:18] <c7p> us*
[19:19] <rickfosb> I'm ok with that, yes;
[19:19] <rickfosb> I can then include them in the test build and push
[19:19] <c7p> cool
[19:20] <c7p> rickfosb: have you any feedback from the other co-authors ?
[19:20] <Hannie> rickfosb, since I do not have the English version of Natty, could I ask you to check a few things for me
[19:21] <Hannie> not now, but by email
[19:21] <rickfosb> hannie, c7p:  as soon as i get home,  I'll update the spreadsheet with the outline per c7p.  you can send me txt based on that outline and i'll compile.   I'll also work with the other writeres to clean this up.
[19:22] <c7p> ok
[19:22] <rickfosb> c7p: yes, I'm getting emails directly from some of the team,  Kartik, and the others
[19:22] <Hannie> I hope to finish my part in a few days, provided I get Ubuntu working again soon
[19:23] <rickfosb> I hate it when that happens to me... aside from the 'clean start'  i lose some of my 'stuff'.... thanks for ubuntu one thought
[19:23] <Hannie> yes, I need a shoulder to cry on
[19:24] <c7p> xD
[19:24] <Hannie> rickfosb, I will send you my text asap. Should restoring take too long, I will let you know
[19:24] <rickfosb> :)
[19:25] <rickfosb> hannie:  great!  thanks...
[19:25] <rickfosb> anything else?  *worried that i'll drop

[19:25] <Hannie> I think this is it
[19:25] <c7p> me too
[19:25] <Hannie> c7p, I cannot get on the internet
[19:26] <c7p> i guess meeting is postponed for the next weekend
[19:26] <c7p> Hannie: oh :/
[19:26] <rickfosb> Yes I use google docs... share with me once you get back and I'll drag it down to my project folder
[19:26] <Hannie> yes, see you soon. I am going to fight with my computer. Hope I win ;)
