[18:25] <notgary> Hey, how are people doing tonight?
[18:26] <notgary> Anyone checked the mailing list today? There are a couple of new threads I've started that you should all read
[18:27] <notgary> The first meeting of the paper cuts team will be held at the start of next week
[18:27] <notgary> The two threads are to organise a time that is suitable for as many people as possible, and to discuss the agenda

[18:43] <notgary> W00t! No more tumbleweeds :)
[18:44] <notgary> How's it going?
[18:45] <notgary> \waves
[18:45] <notgary> Hmm
[18:46] <notgary> How do you type it so it shows up as you performing an action rather than you saying something?
[18:48] <bryceh> say /me foo
[18:48]  * notgary waves
[18:48] <notgary> Awesome. Every day's a school day
[18:49] <bryceh> :-)
[18:50] <notgary> Thanks again for writing v0.1 of the paper cut progress reporter.
[18:52] <bryceh> notgary, sure thing.  how are things going finding volunteers to work on papercuts?
[18:53] <notgary> Got a few, which is a few more than we once had :)
[18:53] <notgary> The best thing is that a couple of them are programmers
[18:53] <notgary> Gtk programmers to be precise
[18:53] <notgary> One of them has sent a couple of patches upstream to both Gtk apps and Gtk itself
[18:54] <notgary> Another is currently talking a bug in Rhythmbox regarding ignored files that I thought would be a huge pain to take on, which I think he is finding to be the case but he's ploughing on with it anyway.
[18:55] <notgary> A couple more have volunteered their services (both programmers) but I've not really seen them active on bug reports, which is a shame since they had a good spread of programming knowledge between them
[18:55] <notgary> And a couple more are working on finding and triaging bug reports
[18:56] <notgary> Which is always incredibly useful given the number currently filed against Ubuntu :)
[18:56] <notgary> But it's early days yet
[18:56] <notgary> And i wasn't expecting a massive influx on day one.
[18:56] <notgary> Instead...
[18:57] <notgary> I'm expecting people to join us when we start publicising the bugs we fix during the cycle
[18:57] <notgary> and they realise that these are ones that have been troubling them for years
[18:57] <notgary> and that they have other paper cuts they want fixed
[18:57] <notgary> so they'll bring them to us
[18:57] <notgary> and help us fix them :)
[18:58] <notgary> Hopefully :P
[18:58] <notgary> :0
[18:58] <notgary> :)
[19:41] <bryceh> excellent
[19:42] <bryceh> yeah that's a good plan.  Build on actual successes rather than on promises of success.
