[17:42] <skellat> Hunh
[17:42] <skellat> yano, where did jenni disappear to?
[23:01] <belkinsa> skellat, my Russian Blue ate jenni.
[23:01] <belkinsa> ;)
[23:01] <skellat> ?
[23:01] <skellat> "Russian Blue"?
[23:02] <belkinsa> The cat breed
[23:02] <skellat> Ah
[23:02] <belkinsa> It's a random joke
[23:03] <belkinsa> But I do have a Russian Blue
[23:03] <skellat> belkinsa: What do you think of the course of the u-c-t discussion of Jono's blog post?
[23:03] <belkinsa> I need to catch up, give me a few minutes.
[23:05] <skellat> Randall Ross said in a separate post somewhere that people are being passive-aggressive in the thread
[23:05] <skellat> I could have sworn I was being outright aggressive
[23:06] <belkinsa> Well, I know that we (as the Community) are lacking leadership training and even Aveem Ashfaq's idea of a "newbie outreach" is a good one.
[23:06] <belkinsa> But I think we also need the S.M.A.R.T goals
[23:07] <belkinsa> Get these going.
[23:08] <belkinsa> I guess my point is that I do agree that the CC needs to be proactive.
[23:08] <skellat> Much of it doesn't come down to the structures, though
[23:08] <skellat> Adding a new team doesn't really change anything
[23:08] <skellat> "Rooting out bureaucracy" doesn't really change much either
[23:09] <belkinsa> True, true.  But we do the Ubuntu Leadership team that needs to be rebooted.
[23:09] <belkinsa> That was two your adding a new team comment.
[23:09] <skellat> Did you read my last drop to the list?
[23:09]  * belkinsa is now
[23:13]  * belkinsa 's brain is dead.
[23:14] <belkinsa> I'm came from work an hour ago and I shouldn't logged on to catch up...
[23:14] <belkinsa> Or maybe need to think on what you said in that e-mail
[23:16] <skellat> What didn't make sense?
[23:17] <belkinsa> It's not that, I need to think more on what you said.  What you have said made sense.
[23:18] <skellat> Well, had you ever heard of the Plurk social network before I mentioned it?  I used to have an account there once upon a time.
[23:18] <belkinsa> I never did.
[23:18] <belkinsa> It was only Facebook, MySpace
[23:18] <belkinsa> But I get your point.
[23:19] <skellat> You only need look at this "AddThis" widget on some web sites to see the multiplicity of social networks out there
[23:19] <belkinsa> I see and yes, there is  way to many.
[23:19] <skellat> I should propose that with xubuntu-docs in DocBook we try a test export to EPUB just for the heck of it too
[23:20] <belkinsa> You should and I think also all of the those flavors too
[23:21] <belkinsa> -those
[23:22] <skellat> DocBook is set up to do such exports readily
[23:22] <skellat> I don't know about Mallard
[23:23]  * skellat is writing the e-mail to xubuntu-devel@lists.u.c to pose the question
[23:23] <belkinsa> Oh duh, I forgot.
[23:23]  * belkinsa facepalms
[23:24] <skellat> Hmm...Mallard can go to LaTeX which can then go to EPUB too
[23:24] <skellat> So mainline could do such too with a bit more heavy lifting
[23:28] <belkinsa> You are welcome to suggest that to the Ubuntu Doc team.  I'm a mod and I can approve it.
[23:29]  * dzho wonders if you'd find pandoc useful for any of this
[23:29] <skellat> I'm going to keep it within Xubuntu for the moment to see if we can test it
[23:30] <belkinsa> Alright
[23:30] <skellat> dzho: For DocBook, *maybe*
[23:30] <skellat> dzho: For Mallard, nope
[23:31] <belkinsa> Okay, it's shower/bath time.
[23:31] <skellat> Adios
