gemapitti: I'd like to run those tests on our daily smoke testing for desktop15:14
mmrazikwe would need somebody to look/maintain autopilot-gtk15:14

thomiLetozaf_: how's your Gtk skills? perhaps you and pitti can work on this together15:15
mmrazikI think there are couple of bugreports, etc15:15
Letozaf_unfortunately I do not know much about gtk but I am willing to learn15:16
Letozaf_if this is not a problem for you guys15:16
thomiLetozaf_: you should be aware that the autopilot-gtk code is somewhat complex, but I'm sure we can assemble a team of pitti, Letozaf_, alesage, and myself15:17
Letozaf_I mean I am happy to learn new things and learn new stuff so if you think I can help I am here15:17
Letozaf_thomi: I can try15:17
Letozaf_thomi: then we will see if I am able to15:17
alesageLetozaf_, we'll all be learning from pitti, most likely :)15:18
gemaLetozaf_: keep in touch with pitti and thomi during this work they are talking about15:18
gemaand see if you feel like maintaining after it is up and running15:18
Letozaf_alesage: well it's an honour to learn from pitti15:18
alesageLetozaf_, indeed :)15:18
Letozaf_gema: sure15:19
alesagethere are also some internal clients thomi; e.g. webapps and thinclient15:20
alesagewe should coordinate with them to see if they're migrating away?15:20
balloonsahh.. interesting.. the age old legacy questions :-)15:21
Letozaf_:( sound is coming and going15:21
mmrazikalesage: thinclient still needs that15:21
mmrazikthere are some long-term plans to migrate to qt15:21
mmrazikbut its more like 14.0415:21

pitti(hangouts have never really worked well for me, sorry15:24
balloonspitti, :-( the little bandwith slider at the top right works well for me to slide down15:24

mmrazikyeah... unity 8 is probably also too new for this ATM15:25
alesagethen write more tests larsu and desrt ;)15:26
fisch246it's kind of insane that people are already running unity 8, even though it's so unfinished. bit off topic sorry.15:27
sergiusensfisch246: well we run it on the phones and tablet, so you'll have to be specific ;-)15:30
fisch246sergiusens: well they ran it on a mac, but it was basically the phablet os on a computer.15:30
sergiusensfisch246: that was a mir demo, nothing more15:31
alesageyou could even do it in python :)15:32
fisch246sergiusens: yea i know, still it's kinda crazy how people can use your stuff on just about anything. you guys have really started something. glad to be apart of it.15:33
balloonspoor pitti.. lag is no fun :-(15:33
Letozaf_looks like Europe has poor internet connections :D15:34
balloonsindeed.. It's common for it not to work so well in Europe it seems15:34

ptlit's over?16:45
delfgateAhh .. I've just relized it's Elizabeth from G+ .. I use Xubuntu .. but I'll leave that for another channel ...16:45
alecuptl: it seems so.16:45
alecuptl: I don't think there should be any impediment for somebody outside of canonical to lead a UDS session; they should just contact the leaders of each UDS track to get a session added.16:46
alecuptl: at least, that's how it worked at non-virtual UDSs.16:47
alecuptl: maybe dholbach has more info ^16:47
alecuptl: do you have any session in mind?16:48
dholbachsure, anyone can lead a session - it's just a few folks (the track leads) who can update summit16:51
dholbachand the ordinary g+ account can just deal with 10 people in the session, while the one used for canonical.com accounts can do 1516:51
dholbachbut that's not a real problem if you ask me16:51

kotuxbut I want to be part of the doc team.  how about you?19:12
srinathme too19:12
srinathanyway i can help19:12
dholbachsrinath, what would you like to help with? the "getting started" docs?19:12
kotuxdholbach, where can interested people get started?19:13
srinathanything is fine by me19:13
ballockI have some Ubuntu enterprise desktop docs I wanted to create anyway19:14
kotuxpleia2, yeah!19:14
GunnarHjAs I said a few weeks ago on the list, I'd be happy to work with a minimal "getting started tutorial" to make it easier for new contributors.19:15
ballockYou can treat me as a volunteer for a getting started guide, would need that anyway.19:16
srinathme too19:17
kotuxlet me mention that askubuntu and ubuntuforums has far more information than the documentation.  There are many nuggets of knowledge that could be in the official one.19:19
srinathwhat is the state of documentation for developers??19:19
dholbachsrinath, you mean for writing apps for Ubuntu or for hacking on Ubuntu itself?19:20
srinathwriting apps19:20
godbyksrinath: The developer documentation is handled by a different team.19:20
srinathok19:20
dholbachsrinath, that lives in a separate place - it's http://developer.ubuntu.com/19:20
srinathoh..19:20
srinathright the developing team maintains it19:21
srinathmy bad19:21
dholbachno worries :)19:21
srinathone simple question what is it that we are supposed to have in documentation??19:21
srinathi mean we can have a zillion things19:22
kotuxdocumentation should be treated like software.19:22
srinathbut what are the most sensible things to add??19:22
GunnarHjThere seems to be a lack of input from developers, package maintainers etc., i.e. the doc team seems to be on their own. Is that an issue that should be dealt with?19:23
dsmythiesHelp.ubuntu.com does not update by utself. I have bene doing it.19:23
srinathdsmythies wow19:24
kotuxdsmythies, that's a lot of work for one guy.19:24
srinathya there should be someone kind of coordination between teams regarding the documentation being generated19:24
godbykdsmythies: Okay, that's good to know.  How do you know when to update help.ubuntu.com?19:24
dsmythiesNo. it is not. It's almost automatic from the master files.19:24
dsmythiesI was just rerring to an earlier comment that help.ubuntu.com wasn't updated.19:25
dholbachany more questions, concerns or agenda items from irc?19:25
dholbachor missing work items?19:25
pmatulis_hey dsmythies o/19:25
YoBoYperhaps we can plan to put some eyecandy on the frontpage of the documentation, to highlight the last docs, and put the community doc with a clear text of what it is (something with boxes, big buttons, or something else…)19:26
dholbachhttp://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1305/meeting/21693/community-1305-doc-planning/ if you haven't reviewed it yet19:26
pleia2https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Wiki/Tasks#Tagged_Pages19:27
pleia2https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tag19:27
kotuxwe can try breaking categorization into chunks.19:27
* YoBoY have connexion problem and lost the feed :]19:28
ahoneybunhello?19:28
pmatulis_bkerensa: i've always been in favour of promoting community docs to the official docs.  there is a lot of overlap.  copy & paste in both directions19:28
kotuxhey ahoneybun19:28
ahoneybunis this the uds for docs?19:28
kotuxyes19:28
ahoneybuncool19:29
ahoneybunwill there be any talk about the kubuntu docs or just ubuntu docs?19:29
=== hikiko-uds is now known as hikiko
YoBoYofficial documentation dont cover everything19:31
dsmythiesOften the community documentation is up to date whereas the offical is not.19:31
kotuxYoBoY, agreed. the official one should be the ultimate reference.19:31
ahoneybuncurrently I am working on getting the kubuntu-docs moved to a wiki19:32
ahoneybunwith valorie19:32
YoBoYOn the french documentation, we have one rule "don't rewrite what exists somewhere else", and we follow this simple rule pointing the good docs everywhere19:32
pmatulis_ideally both community and official docs would be in the same place.  the community stuff would consist of added commentary to the official stuff, and potentially merge it to the official docs later19:32
kotuxtakes clear process.19:33
pmatulis_having them in different places is fundamentally broken19:33
srinathelse we can just have19:34
srinathlinks in the official docs to community docs19:34
ahoneybunI pulled the branch from kubuntu-docs on lp and copying it but also editing it on the spot, and updating the images19:34
ahoneybunyou are echoing btw19:34
srinathi may be off topic19:36
srinathbut are there any docs  for new contributors19:36
srinathto ubuntu??19:36
kotuxwhat tools are essential for the doc contributors?19:36
ahoneybunkotux: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam19:36
godbykTo whomever wrote 'standardize tools', what did you have in mind?19:37
YoBoYthanks19:37
* pleia2 needs more comfortable headphones19:37
godbyksrinath: What do you mean by 'contributors'?  Contributors to the documentation or developers or something else?19:38
ahoneybunwhat does cadence mean19:38
ahoneybungodbyk: this is about docs19:38
pleia2ahoneybun: regular flow19:38
srinathi mean contributors to developers19:38
pleia2srinath: that documentation tends to be maintained by each team19:38
ahoneybunidk what needs to be done there19:39
pmatulis_deleting community docs is ok but you run the risk of making some people angry as they may intend to keep updating the community page but now will probably stop due to the large barrier to official docs19:39
godbyksrinath: See http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved/developers19:39
godbykpmatulis_: Hopefully we can reduce the barrier to entry for the official docs.19:39
pleia2srinath: http://www.ubuntu.com/community has links to a few resources, and we're currently working on a new, improved page for that (had a session about it last hour)19:39
srinathoh...19:40
kotuxwhat tools should contributors use to edit and merge docs?19:40
srinathdid not know that19:40
srinathmy bad19:40
kotuxgodbyk^19:40
godbykkotux: We'll be updating the documentation on that soon. But at the moment, you only need a text editor and bzr.19:40
kotuxright, that's what I thought.19:40
kotuxmost importantly, the team needs an agenda for this release cycle.19:40
kotuxand make sure that the work doesn't end up being a one-man show.19:41
pleia2kotux: there are several folks with work items now (take a look at the etherpad)19:41
pleia2we'll have regular meetings to check in on things19:41
pmatulis_php documentation is an example of how the 2 can be merged.  but yeah, bit undertaking.  http://www.php.net/manual19:43
pmatulis_*big19:43
ballockI can't find the mailing list, it doesn't seem to be on launchpad19:43
godbykballock: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc19:44
kotuxpleia2, at the moment, where can prospective contributors start? The session today suggested we begin review of the raring docs19:44
pleia2pmatulis_: that's similar to the sumo software, do you know if what php.net uses is open source?19:44
godbykkotux: A great place to start would to be to review the current documentation and suggest improvements.19:44
pmatulis_pleia2: no, i don't know19:44
godbykkotux: If you can offer specific textual changes to be made, that'd be best.19:44
knomegodbyk, it would be great if that was documented19:45
ahoneybunkotux: right now the kubuntu-docs is like a 2 man show19:45
godbykkotux: You can do this by emailing the list or submitting merge proposals.19:45
ballockgodbyk: thanks19:45
kotuxgodbyk, can you define merge proposals?19:45
pleia2kotux: if you don't know about MPs, you might just want to review and send changes to the mailing list, defining and explaining merge proposals is part of what we (bkerensa will be documenting)19:46
godbykkotux: To create a merge proposal, you'd use bzr to check out the current docs code. Modify your copy.  Then, via Launchpad, you can create a merge proposal that sends notification of your modifications to the docs team so we can merge them in to the main bzr branch.19:46
godbykkotux: As pleia2 mentioned, we'll be working to document this process more clearly soon.19:47
godbykkotux: If you subscribe to the ubuntu-doc mailing list, I'll post there when we have updated instructions and you can help us test them out.19:47
godbykkotux: In the mean time, if you notice anything that's out of date or incorrect with the current documentation, you can email the list or file a bug.19:47
epikvisi0ngodbyk, sure thing.  Thanks!19:48
godbykepikvisi0n: No problem. Thanks for volunteering to help out!19:49
epikvisi0nWhat are some essential knowledge that a documentation volunteer should have?19:50
ahoneybunepikvisi0n: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam19:51
godbykepikvisi0n: Most importantly, you should be able to write clearly and explain how to do something or how something works.19:52
epikvisi0nahoneybun, is documentation writing essentially technical writing?19:52
godbykepikvisi0n: Knowing all the tools and markup languages isn't quite as important at the moment.19:52
godbykepikvisi0n: Essentially, You want to ensure that the documentation you've written can be understood by a fairly general audience.19:53
epikvisi0nah, ok.19:54
godbykIt looks like our time is up here.  If you'd like to continue to discuss documentation, you can join us in #ubuntu-doc.19:56
godbykThanks for coming, everyone!19:56
kotuxthank you godbyk19:56
kotuxthanks pleia2 and bkerensa19:57
ahoneybunbkerensa: thanks for the help19:58
