[17:12] good evening [17:16] silverlion: hey [17:16] pleia2, that's coincidance [17:17] I just sent that tweet seconds ago [17:17] :D [17:17] I'm replying to your tweet ;) [17:17] pleia2, I got a couple of questions regarding that Ubuntu Book that you wrote [17:18] ask away [17:18] #1: If I understood that right, it's written every 2 years right? [17:18] #2: The Work is done on LaTex, right? [17:18] 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] no, it's done in .doc [17:19] we use libreoffice to edit [17:19] ok, who do I have to talk to if I want to become Co-Author of the next edition? [17:20] 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] you might ask jose how get got involved [17:21] s/get/he [17:22] ok, who is jose? [17:22] one of the contributing authors [17:22] he's usually on IRC [17:22] right now he seems not to be online or he goes with a different nick [17:23] yeah, he ping timeouted aout a half hour ago [17:23] 09:54:52 -!- jose [~jose@ubuntu/member/jose] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] [17:23] he'll be back though :) [17:23] kk. I'll give him a ping if I see him [17:24] because I think with more authors the workload becomes a lot easier, am I wrong with that? [17:24] and we get paid less ;) [17:25] so you don't want help? [17:25] 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] it's not my decision [17:25] kk [17:25] thanks anyway
