Hi everyone, Sorry I didn't make it to the meeting, I slept in! Was up quite late last night studying for my exams next week.
I've read the logs and looks like you guys survived fairly well without me which is fantastic. Here's some stuff that I'll fill in: === 48 Hours of Ubuntu Manual Learning === Nice work on organizing this. I've read the etherpad stuff and updated the wiki with the proposed times. I've also added installation instructions for Lernid and a link to the Lernid homepage for more information. If you could install this and familiarize yourself with it in the next week that would be great, especially for session teachers. Also, we need to finalize the times by about Wednesday. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual/48hours === BETA Release === "In this release, the content of the manual should represent what it will look like in the final release - all references, links and images should be in place, and final formatting, color scheme and styles should start to take shape. Translations should be well on their way to completion." That's more or less true - apart from the images. We can only start getting images on the 3rd of March (which is the Lucid User Interface freeze I think). There's no way we'll be able to get 30+ screenshots in 40+ languages in 15 days. That's 1200 screenshots! For BETA emphasis and priority is on writing and editing. Fine tune the content - remember on the 18th of March we release beta and *freeze the writing* so the translations can catch up. === Global Jam === You guys got the idea more or less. Have a look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual/Jam Basically we want to participate if we can. If there is a global jam event near you, go along in person and act as a "manual representative" to spread the love... obviously also fix bugs and things for the manual. Most of it will take place over IRC. The main things we want to fix are: - Niggly bugs in formatting for the languages - Small changes to style and colour - Optimization of file size - Cleaning unused or obsolete files from the bzr branch - Removing or re-wording obsolete information on the wiki - Re-targeting blueprints and updating specifications - Enhancing our profiles on the social sites, like Facebook, Twitter, identi.ca etc === Artwork Icons === The "artwork icons" topic was basically to discuss icons for everything... the title page, the warning ones, and chapter heading icons. who's going to make them, what they'll look like, where they'll go and how many we need. You guys got the right idea, if the design team could create an icon for each chapter, then that would be swell. === T-T-Title Page! === This was just to discuss the title page. It'll be deferred to the next meeting. Cheers, and keep up the good work everyone! -- Benjamin Humphrey Ubuntu Manual Project Leader Dunedin, New Zealand https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual www.interesting.co.nz
