pleia2bkerensa: when you have a chance, it would be great to have a meeting in the near future to learn about your hand-off plans (will you be around to work with a volunteer through the docs building+submitting&release process? or at least document it for us?)19:04
bkerensapleia2: I will document what I know but jbicha still knows some bits that are not shared19:17
bkerensapleia2: I already reached out to jono's team and encouraged them to allocated some of their time to helping continue to grow docs19:18
bkerensamhall119: ^19:18
bkerensapleia2: for the most part Doug and the Server Doc Folks know the process19:18
pleia2bkerensa: well, the docs freeze is sept 19th, so I wasn't sure if you'd be around to handle that19:19
bkerensaits basically running the scripts19:19
bkerensapleia2: Hmm19:19
bkerensapleia2: yeah I will be there my last day is Sept 3019:19
bkerensa:)19:19
pleia2yeah, wasn't sure if you had made time for it or what19:19
bkerensathen I will turn into a pumpkin at midnight19:19
pleia2is progress being made on the 13.10 docs?19:20
bkerensapleia2: a lot of work has been done yes19:20
pleia2great19:20
bkerensapleia2: we still need that script fixed and it seems to be a issue not being addressed19:20
bkerensaideally it would be nice if someone at Canonical fixed it19:20
pleia2the screenshot one, or something else?19:20
bkerensayeah the screenshot one19:21
bkerensaupdated screenshots would be nice19:21
pleia2bkerensa: can you send a mail to the list showing exactly what script it is and how it doesn't work?19:21
mhall119pleia2: bkerensa: I don't know how much time my team will have to contributing to writing docs, but I think we can try and come up with some technical or process solutions that will make it easier to identify when they break and need to be updated19:21
pleia2then we can share it around to see if we can find someone to work on it19:21
bkerensaI think were three cycles behind on screenshots19:21
pleia2right now I think people don't know how to help19:21
bkerensapleia2: So I have never used the script.... the last person to use it was jbicha19:22
mhall119bkerensa: screenshots are an example of something that could be automated19:22
bkerensaHe says it just doesnt make the screenshots anymore19:22
bkerensamhall119: It was automated19:22
bkerensa:)19:22
bkerensabut the script broke19:22
bkerensa:D19:22
bkerensaor Ubuntu broke it19:22
pleia2bkerensa: is there any way you can find time to test it and see what's wrong?19:22
bkerensapleia2: surely19:22
mhall119bkerensa: I meant when Unity gets a new commit, when it kicks off autopilot tests it could also kick off the script to get new screenshots19:22
bkerensapleia2: I will test it this coming Monday19:23
mhall119put docs into our continuous integration and testing workflow19:23
pleia2bkerensa: great19:23
bkerensamhall119: or Sumo19:23
bkerensaSumo is now mature enough19:23
bkerensa:)19:23
bkerensamhall119: oh and Moz might fork Summit19:23
mhall119bkerensa: wasn't it decided that sumo wouldn't work for us?19:24
bkerensamhall119: Yes but that was a cycle or two ago19:24
bkerensamhall119: Mozilla has since hired a large group of people to work on Sumo19:24
pleia2bkerensa: you were really the sumo champion, seeing as we can barely manage to handle the docs we have and you're leaving, I don't see it as a viable option at this point19:24
bkerensaso19:24
pleia2we really need to focus on getting back on track with what we have and ramping up new contributors19:24
bkerensahmm yes19:24
bkerensawell getting started is done19:24
bkerensaso19:24
bkerensaon boarding is now possible19:25
bkerensa:)19:25
pleia2maybe in a year or so we'll have a team that's robust enough to take on new challenges19:25
mhall119bkerensa: forking summit causes a lot of engineering work, cjohnston put a lot of work into it a year or two ago to make it flexible enough to run UDS, Linaro Connect and the Linux kernel conference19:25
pleia2bkerensa: can you follow up with Doug's comments about the placement of the getting started guide? I don't want to share the link too widely until that's sorted19:25
mhall119bkerensa: I would encourage Moz to try and make it work as-is first19:25
bkerensayes19:25
pleia2ok, used up my quota of voluntelling for the day, thanks bkerensa :)19:27
mhall119oh no, there's quotas on that?19:27
pleia2lol19:27
bkerensanot for Canonical19:27
bkerensa:)19:27
pleia2now now19:27
* bkerensa ducks and hides19:27
mhall119damn, suddenly I realize I have a lot of debt19:27
