[17:12] <silverlion> good evening
[17:16] <pleia2> silverlion: hey
[17:16] <silverlion> pleia2, that's coincidance
[17:17] <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
[17:18] <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
[17:19] <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?
[17:20] <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
[17:21] <pleia2> s/get/he
[17:22] <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
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <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 ;)
[17:25] <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
