| silverlion | good evening | 17:12 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | silverlion: hey | 17:16 |
| silverlion | pleia2, that's coincidance | 17:16 |
| silverlion | I just sent that tweet seconds ago | 17:17 |
| silverlion | :D | 17:17 |
| pleia2 | I'm replying to your tweet ;) | 17:17 |
| silverlion | pleia2, I got a couple of questions regarding that Ubuntu Book that you wrote | 17:17 |
| pleia2 | ask away | 17:18 |
| silverlion | #1: If I understood that right, it's written every 2 years right? | 17:18 |
| silverlion | #2: The Work is done on LaTex, right? | 17:18 |
| pleia2 | every 2 years is the plan, but with publishing you never quite know (in fact, they weren't sure the 8th edition would happen at all) | 17:18 |
| pleia2 | no, it's done in .doc | 17:18 |
| pleia2 | we use libreoffice to edit | 17:19 |
| silverlion | ok, who do I have to talk to if I want to become Co-Author of the next edition? | 17:19 |
| pleia2 | I don't know, I'm friends with the author so he and I worked pretty casually together, he put me in touch with the editor and I submitted my published works (published articles, etc) for review | 17:20 |
| pleia2 | you might ask jose how get got involved | 17:20 |
| pleia2 | s/get/he | 17:21 |
| silverlion | ok, who is jose? | 17:22 |
| pleia2 | one of the contributing authors | 17:22 |
| pleia2 | he's usually on IRC | 17:22 |
| silverlion | right now he seems not to be online or he goes with a different nick | 17:22 |
| pleia2 | yeah, he ping timeouted aout a half hour ago | 17:23 |
| pleia2 | 09:54:52 -!- jose [~jose@ubuntu/member/jose] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] | 17:23 |
| pleia2 | he'll be back though :) | 17:23 |
| silverlion | kk. I'll give him a ping if I see him | 17:23 |
| silverlion | because I think with more authors the workload becomes a lot easier, am I wrong with that? | 17:24 |
| pleia2 | and we get paid less ;) | 17:24 |
| silverlion | so you don't want help? | 17:25 |
| pleia2 | I don't really know how it's decided how many authors a book has, 4 is a lot, but there's always a chance some of them won't come back | 17:25 |
| pleia2 | it's not my decision | 17:25 |
| silverlion | kk | 17:25 |
| silverlion | thanks anyway | 17:25 |
