| c7p | this is how we'll introduce ourselves 1) we say things about ourselves 2) we say that we have finished 3) quesions from others | 21:17 |
| c7p | Paco wasn't assigned to any section specifically, right pfjapPaco ? | 21:18 |
| pfjapPaco | Yes, sorry about the wait, I just went to check myself | 21:19 |
| herat | I am Herat and I am from India. I am working on Using Ubuntu Center. | 21:19 |

| senthil_prime | I am senthil. I am from India but right now I am in the US. I have been using Ubuntu for a little over 1 year now. I am working on the microblogging section of the manual. | 21:21 |
| c7p | i'm John, i'm following the project since the begining, i step down to help for the greek translation of it and then i started contributing for the main manual. I'm author of the Ubuntu Desktop chapter, specifically on the sections that touches Dash, Launcher, etc | 21:21 |
| c7p | hey Chris :D | 21:22 |
| ChrisWoollard | evening | 21:22 |
| ChrisWoollard | I forgot. Sorry | 21:22 |
| c7p | no worries we introduce ourselves | 21:23 |
| s0rceress0 | I'm S0rcy, I've been using Ubuntu for about a year now and still learning about it. I'm an editor and am not yet assigned any particular work yet. | 21:23 |
| peredo | Hello, I'm Brian. I live in California and I will be writing the Viewing and Editing Photos section. I've been using Ubuntu since Breezy. I plan on finishing the section today. | 21:23 |
| hannie | I'm Hannie. I am a member of Ubuntu Dutch Translators. And I work for the manual als an author (ubuntu-desktop) an editor (Prologue and learning more) | 21:23 |
| hannie | hi ChrisWoollard | 21:24 |
| ChrisWoollard | Right...... Ok..... ermm...... | 21:24 |
| hannie | Are you all familiar with this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ | 21:24 |
| ChrisWoollard | I am Chris. | 21:24 |
| pfjapPaco | Hello Chris. | 21:25 |
| ChrisWoollard | I have been invloved with this project since lucid e1 | 21:25 |
| ChrisWoollard | I know a bit of Latex. I tend to do editting. and fixing things that are broken in the bzr branch | 21:26 |
| ChrisWoollard | What else do i do? | 21:26 |
| ChrisWoollard | Generally whatever in | 21:26 |
| ChrisWoollard | i thank | 21:26 |
| ChrisWoollard | s/thank/think | 21:26 |
| c7p | ok i think we are done, or not ? anyone else who wants to introduce his/her self ? | 21:27 |
| hannie | c7p, is there an aneiric sheet instead of this one: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?authkey=CNDambUJ&key=0AtkeORuPIMxsdGtWRXlvdHB4bktTNkF5LTNwWU5KQnc&hl=en_US&authkey=CNDambUJ#gid=0 | 21:28 |
| hannie | *oneiric | 21:28 |
| hannie | I think every author/editor should be able to access and it | 21:29 |
| hannie | *change | 21:29 |
| c7p | this isn't for oneiric, but yes there is a simple sheet with assignments: http://bit.ly/ok0sKk | 21:29 |
| hannie | c7p, nice! | 21:31 |
| c7p | eveytinh is in there :P | 21:31 |
| c7p | well almost | 21:31 |
| che__ | I don't see s0ceress0 listed as an editor? | 21:31 |
| c7p | yeah | 21:31 |
| c7p | many editors are on another sheet "available editors" | 21:31 |
| che__ | ah ok | 21:32 |
| c7p | those editors aren't assigned to specific chapter or section | 21:32 |
| hannie | Why aren't these sheets accessible for everybody? | 21:32 |
| c7p | when we assign them work, they 'll be added too :) | 21:32 |
| c7p | cause it contains e-mail addresses :D | 21:32 |
| c7p | i don't think this sheets should be accessible | 21:33 |
| c7p | to the generall public | 21:33 |
| hannie | If you save those addresses somewhere else everybody can see what progress is made by others | 21:33 |
| pfjapPaco | Well, there is a way to protect sheets so that only specific people can see them | 21:34 |
| c7p | this is a solution, but we have to spend many time on sheets | 21:34 |
| c7p | edit sheets for public, for private use etc | 21:35 |
| c7p | even this sheet was time consuming | 21:35 |
| hannie | at this moment I cannot add anything to the Oneiric sheet, but I could in the Natty sheet | 21:35 |
| c7p | btw if you want to discuss this subject let's leave it for the end of the meeting | 21:35 |
| hannie | c7p, ok | 21:35 |
| c7p | [TOPIC] Basic outlines on how the project works | 21:36 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Basic outlines on how the project works | 21:36 |
| c7p | firstly the project is always open to new members | 21:36 |
| c7p | any member can contribute as it cans/wants | 21:37 |
| c7p | even if you follow the project you are member of the project | 21:37 |
| c7p | now | 21:37 |
| c7p | the project uses bazzar to share its work | 21:38 |
| ChrisWoollard | We will always do our best to help each other out. | 21:38 |
| c7p | we have a branch for every series on bazzar | 21:38 |
| c7p | although on this release we also give the option to authors to commit/share their work though UbuntuOne | 21:39 |
| c7p | this on how we share our work | 21:40 |
| c7p | now the process of releasing a manual is the following | 21:40 |
| c7p | 1) get the contributors 2) writing process (we are on it) 3) proofreading of written material 3) release of the manual | 21:41 |
| hannie | You can always ask questions using the mailing list: ubuntu-manual@lists.launchpad.net | 21:42 |
| c7p | the manual built from LaTeX code, Kevin (godbyk) is our Texician who faces all tex issues, fixes bugs, and helps us to get the manual out | 21:43 |
| ChrisWoollard | I also know Latex a bit :) | 21:43 |
| c7p | new authors that work on UbuntuOne and edit LibreOffice docs, of cousre aren't writing tex code | 21:43 |
| c7p | yeah and Chris helps a lot on fixing syntax issues etc | 21:44 |
| c7p | (@ new authors) Chris and Kevin are very core members of the project :) | 21:44 |
| c7p | so as i was saying new authors that work on UbuntuOne and edit LibreOffice docs, of cousre aren't writing tex code | 21:45 |
| c7p | when you finish your work, we (me, Chris, Rick, Hannie and others) will mark your text with tex code so we can build the manual | 21:46 |
| c7p | btw Rick is our Editor in Chief | 21:46 |
| ChrisWoollard | If you want to edit via Bazaar and Latex, we have a style guide http://files.ubuntu-manual.org/style-guide.pdf | 21:47 |
| c7p | hannie, ChrisWoollard: have i missed anything ? | 21:47 |
| ChrisWoollard | I can't think of anything | 21:47 |
| hannie | I don't think so. Maybe there are questions on what you said? | 21:47 |
| ChrisWoollard | If you have questiosn. Just ask or send them to the mailing list. | 21:47 |
| c7p | ChrisWoollard: +1 | 21:48 |
| pfjapPaco | So we'll be editing in libreoffice? | 21:48 |
| pfjapPaco | primarily that is | 21:48 |
| pfjapPaco | correct? | 21:48 |
| c7p | hm | 21:49 |
| ChrisWoollard | At some point that will be converted to Latex and commited to the bzr branch | 21:49 |
| senthil_prime | And can screenshots be placed on the libreoffice docs as well? | 21:49 |
| pfjapPaco | ok, thank you | 21:49 |
| c7p | senthil_prime: it could be could to be added on a seperate folder, but there are some issues with screenshot resolution when added with latex. | 21:50 |
| ChrisWoollard | If you don't know Latex / Bzr then you don't need to do that. | 21:51 |
| che__ | So should we leave out screenshots in Libreoffice or put them in? | 21:51 |
| ChrisWoollard | That would be for somebody like the editor in Chief | 21:51 |
| s1m0nsk1 | I think authors should be putting them in. | 21:52 |
| c7p | place the screens in the docs | 21:52 |
| hannie | It's a good question about the screenshots. I think we should let Kevin or rick explain about this on the list | 21:53 |
| che__ | ok | 21:53 |
| senthil_prime | got it..thx | 21:53 |
| c7p | let's leave the screenshot issue for the next meeting, if you are ok with that | 21:53 |
| che__ | sure | 21:53 |
| c7p | but of course you will place sreenshots in docs ! | 21:53 |
| senthil_prime | ok | 21:54 |
| c7p | any question we haven't answered ? | 21:54 |
| senthil_prime | if we decide to do latex, do we upload the tex file or the pdf? | 21:54 |
| che__ | Do we have a deadline? | 21:54 |
| ChrisWoollard | tex | 21:54 |
| hannie | senthil_prime, tex files, not pdf | 21:55 |
| ChrisWoollard | the pdf gets generated from the tex | 21:55 |
| c7p | actually you get the branch to your local machine, and edit the tex file of your section | 21:55 |
| c7p | then you simply commit changes to the branch | 21:55 |
| senthil_prime | okay | 21:55 |
| c7p | if i remeber write you work on UbuntuOne ? | 21:56 |
| ChrisWoollard | before commited to bzr you should run make on the branch to make sure the main.pdf builds without error | 21:56 |
| senthil_prime | yeah, I am working on UbuntuOne. You have shared a tex file and a doc with me. | 21:56 |
| c7p | ok work on that | 21:56 |
| senthil_prime | cool | 21:57 |
| c7p | it's the tex file of the bazzar branch | 21:57 |
| c7p | on setting dealines we will talk a bit later | 21:57 |
| c7p | [TOPIC] Assignments and status of sections | 21:58 |
