| forestpiskie | I hope so dholbach - but I just saw the forecast lol | 06:48 |
| forestpiskie | I suppose april is the time of the year to have april showers ... | 06:48 |
| dholbach | we had snow yesterday and 17°C today | 06:50 |
| dholbach | typical April weather | 06:50 |
| nigelb | 17C. Woah. | 06:52 |
| nigelb | We have 31C :( | 06:52 |
| dholbach | nigelb, it was a bit colder in the days before :) | 06:53 |
| nigelb | dholbach: "a bit" hehe | 06:53 |
| forestpiskie | hi nigelb - long time - rarely seen :) | 06:54 |
| nigelb | forestpiskie: Heya! | 06:55 |
| nigelb | I'm around. But at sane time for my timezone :P | 06:56 |

| popey | /26/26 | 09:31 |
| popey | bah! | 09:31 |
| jono | morning all | 12:42 |
| dholbach | hey jono | 12:43 |
| jono | hey dholbach | 12:46 |
| jono | thanks for looking at the packaging | 12:46 |
| dholbach | de nada | 12:46 |
| jono | it looks like I managed to fix the GUI side of things | 12:46 |
| dholbach | let me know if there's anything more I can do | 12:46 |
| jono | I will take a look at your mergew | 12:47 |
| jono | thanks dholbach! | 12:47 |
| dholbach | I might have overlooked some other cases, but putting some path determination in place seemed reasonable to me - it should be easily extensible for other paths/files you might need to access | 12:47 |
| dholbach | jono, is it 5:51 over there or is my clock askew? | 12:52 |
| jono | yep thats right, dholbach | 12:52 |

| jono | :) | 12:52 |
| dholbach | I hope you have some strong tea/coffee | 12:52 |
| dholbach | or ice cold shower - whatever works | 12:52 |
| jono | hehe | 12:53 |
| jono | the coffee is doing its thing as we speak :-) | 12:53 |
| cjohnston | jono: Could you please take a look at the whiteboard of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-q-summit -- I think it may be a worthwhile topic, but I think it is misplaced in the Summit blueprint.. What are your thoughts? | 12:54 |
| jono | cjohnston, what topic? | 12:55 |
| cjohnston | Making UDS more beginner friendly would be the high-level topic | 12:55 |
| jono | seems like a good idea to me :-) | 12:57 |
| cjohnston | Ok.. I'll talk to him about it and get a session created for it. | 12:58 |
| jono | cool | 12:58 |
| cjohnston | I think its too broad of a topic to discuss in the summit session though :-) | 12:58 |
| jono | :-) | 12:58 |
| jono | dpm, mhall119 all set? | 12:59 |
| dpm | morning jono, mhall119, yep! | 12:59 |

| czajkowski | bodhi_zazen: hopefully this project will help make the process smooth https://launchpad.net/ubforums-2-ubwiki | 17:16 |
| bkerensa | jcastro: ok then :) /me goes to spend the loot | 17:31 |
| jcastro1 | Hello cloud folks! | 17:32 |
| jcastro1 | from my personal cloud at home and subway! | 17:32 |
| jcastro | jcastro1: really dude ... it's not that awesome | 17:32 |
| jcastro1 | heh | 17:32 |
| jcastro1 | bkerensa: ok so only thing I seem to be missing is like ssl support and stuff for the work IRC | 17:33 |
| jcastro1 | other than that, it seems more stable than before | 17:33 |
| forestpiskie | czajkowski: we know about that - guy doing it has been working with us, it's pretty awesome :) | 17:33 |
| marcoceppi | jcastro1: so subway is shaping up? | 17:34 |
| jcastro1 | yeah | 17:34 |
| jcastro1 | I'm going to switch to it for a while. | 17:34 |
| bkerensa | jcastro: Openphoto charm will be next | 17:35 |
| bkerensa | :D | 17:35 |
| jcastro1 | marcoceppi: ah, the reflow on window resize is still busted | 17:37 |
| jcastro1 | marcoceppi: hah, /nick doesn't seem to be implemented | 17:38 |
| marcoceppi | ha, jcastro1 yay early alphas! | 17:39 |
| bodhi_zazen | czajkowski: That LP page was started by the team that I am referring to here, part of the thread I shared with you the other day http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1949027 | 17:47 |
| bodhi_zazen | czajkowski: I am trying to coordinate that LP team with the doc team, looking for a contact | 17:51 |
| jbicha | bodhi_zazen: the docs team is rather small | 17:57 |
| jbicha | you'll probably end up having to recruit your own volunteer help as I don't think we have extra | 17:57 |
| jcastro | What's blocking the move from happening? | 17:59 |
| jcastro | "I guess I'll have to move to Howtoforge... " | 18:03 |
| jcastro | hah | 18:03 |
| jcastro | come on, seriously | 18:03 |
| bodhi_zazen | jcastro nothing blocking us, we will go forward, we just want to coordinate with community, not duplicate effort, etc | 18:05 |
| jcastro | the big list on the wiki page of articles looks like a good start | 18:06 |
| bodhi_zazen | I think I have 2 or 3 very solid people willing to contribute, so will move forward with some team contributing to community wiki | 18:06 |
| jcastro | when I helped the mythbuntu guys | 18:06 |
| bodhi_zazen | jcastro we are working on a script to semi-automate the transcription process | 18:06 |
| jcastro | a good number of those old articles just didn't need to be moved | 18:06 |
| jcastro | so we just removed them | 18:06 |
| * jcastro nods | 18:07 | |
| bodhi_zazen | yea, the list / wiki needs some love | 18:07 |
| jcastro | I wish we had mediawiki or something better. :-/ | 18:07 |
| bodhi_zazen | Do you know if we can use #ubuntu-wik for coordination of effort ? | 18:08 |
| bodhi_zazen | s/ #ubuntu-wiki | 18:08 |
| jcastro | sure, just snag it, ask someone in #ubuntu-irc to register/log it for you | 18:09 |
| jcastro | bodhi_zazen: I have the same problem of Ask Ubuntu | 18:10 |
| jcastro | We need to move the list questions to the wiki | 18:10 |
| jcastro | but doing so is basically a kiss of death | 18:11 |
| jcastro | so we have these sort-of open-but-we-don't-want-new-ones list questions we can't put anywhere else | 18:11 |
| bodhi_zazen | jcastro can we start with the forums, then recruit from askubuntu ? | 18:11 |
| jcastro | what do you mean recruit? | 18:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | recruit or transcribe great answers to wiki | 18:12 |
| jcastro | the appropriate ones, sure | 18:12 |
| jcastro | but we try to enforce using official docs on AU, so ideally an answer would answer the question, quoting the right section of the doc, and then leaving a link to the right page | 18:13 |
| bodhi_zazen | I would probably contact askubuntu or meta for coordination of effort or identification of answers they would like to see transcribed | 18:13 |
| jcastro | I can tell you which ones | 18:13 |
| jcastro | all the list ones | 18:13 |
| jcastro | "list of application indicators", etc. | 18:14 |
| bodhi_zazen | jcastro let me get back to you on that when we are ready | 18:14 |
| jcastro | I am blocking on a markdown -> moin script anyway | 18:14 |
| marcoceppi | jcastro bodhi_zazen http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/software-recommendation | 18:15 |
| jcastro | and I've already asked people if they want to do them by hand, which of course they were like "no thanks." | 18:15 |
| marcoceppi | err, http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/software-recommendation?sort=votes | 18:15 |
| bodhi_zazen | jcastro I have someone who can probably script it | 18:15 |
| bodhi_zazen | scripting makes it much easier | 18:15 |
| jcastro | also, mhall119 was prototyping SUMO for wiki stuff, but I don't know how that's coming along | 18:15 |
| jcastro | bodhi_zazen: AU has an api too, we can probably just point it at a tag, have it generate a bunch of moin pages, and then just copy them over. | 18:16 |
| bodhi_zazen | jcastro sounds great | 18:17 |
| bodhi_zazen | let me build a community wiki team and get started on some of this stuff | 18:17 |
| czajkowski | I dont think we need more teams bodhi_zazen | 18:18 |
| czajkowski | we dont need a community wiki team, we have a community people will get involved | 18:18 |
| czajkowski | and we have a doc team | 18:18 |
| bodhi_zazen | I respectfully disagree czajkowski | 18:19 |
| czajkowski | ok | 18:19 |
| bodhi_zazen | wiki takes some coordination and doc team is focused on official documentation as far as I can tell | 18:20 |
| czajkowski | fair enough | 18:20 |
| pleia2 | the documentation team does have a team that works on /community wiki specifically | 18:21 |
| bodhi_zazen | pleia2: is the doc team active on community wiki ? If so, I have a few team members to send their way | 18:22 |
| bodhi_zazen | If not, I would like to try to get it active again | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | bodhi_zazen: yep, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Wiki | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | the link I gave you yesterday has details for joining the wiki team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Organization#Requirements_for_Ubuntu_Documentation_Wiki_Administrators | 18:23 |
| bodhi_zazen | some of hose wiki pages seem to need a little love pleia2 | 18:24 |
| pleia2 | yeah, but I think continuing to work on those pages is a better way forward than creating a whole new team outside of docs | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | there are active members of that wiki docs team | 18:25 |
| czajkowski | indeed like I just said already :/ | 18:25 |
| daker | anyone can points me where i can fill bug about this issue https://plus.google.com/101694416703170881163/posts/2G3egDWvXCL ? | 18:29 |
| bodhi_zazen | I am not looking to create a whole new team | 18:30 |
| bodhi_zazen | I am looking for a contact on the docs team | 18:30 |
| pleia2 | it's ashame no one on the -doc list replied to your email, maybe be more explict about your want to contact wiki admins specifically? | 18:30 |
| bodhi_zazen | I've no answer on #ubuntu-doc or to my post to the docs mailing list, so I am asking here for assistance in contacting docs team | 18:30 |
| pleia2 | and you can just start working on things on help.ubuntu.com/community/ and then ask for specific assistance as needed (they may respond to that better) | 18:31 |
| bodhi_zazen | I am noticing work here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Wiki/Tasks/Forum/import | 18:31 |
| bodhi_zazen | which I have a group of people wanting to help with | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | unfortunately they are used to people coming to them with proposals and never actually following-through, so I'd recommend putting some work in | 18:32 |
| bodhi_zazen | pleia2: That is what I am proceeding with, which is very different form starting a whole new team | 18:33 |
| pleia2 | what is the barrier? | 18:33 |
| bodhi_zazen | I do not see one | 18:33 |
| pleia2 | help.ubuntu.com/community/ is open for editing, just have people start editing :) | 18:33 |
| pleia2 | wiki admins are only really needed for things like deleting pages | 18:33 |
| pleia2 | when they run into trouble, they can ask for specific help on the -doc list | 18:34 |
| bodhi_zazen | That is how we shall proceed pleia2 | 18:34 |
| bodhi_zazen | you and czajkowski are the two who have voiced concerns | 18:35 |
| pleia2 | I think your initial email was sufficient for letting the team know your plans, if they had any concerns I think you would have heard | 18:36 |
| bkerensa | bodhi_zazen: Did you get your doc-team matter addressed? | 21:33 |
| bodhi_zazen | bkerensa: looking to coordinate with doc team | 22:43 |
| bodhi_zazen | seems the consensus is to move forward | 22:44 |
| bodhi_zazen | Have a team in interested people starting in #ubuntu-wiki | 22:44 |
| bkerensa | bodhi_zazen: I'm on the Doc-Team.... Sometimes our leads are hard to get a hold of but jbicha is the guy | 22:45 |
| bkerensa | :D | 22:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | Great | 22:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | we are not looking to re-invent the wheel, just contribute | 22:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | bobweaver is working on a script to transcribe high quality forums post -> wiki pages | 22:46 |
| bodhi_zazen | The discussion is scattered, see this thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1949027 | 22:46 |
| bodhi_zazen | All of the people who have contributed to tutorials on the forums, who have objected in that thread, I have had personal contact and they now seem more willing to assist | 22:47 |
