hi all! :) late <_Nicola_> hello! hi <_Nicola_> a great philosopher once said: "lets get this party started!" hi _Nicola_: indeed :) england's macht is so boring.. so i decided to be here instead of watching it macht = match ok, first thing: Gutsy * mrmonday prepares for his hanging 2:0 :D Gutsy is released in October and our #5 and #6 is release before and after the Gutsy release so i'm thinking about putting in an extra article just to talk about and show the new stuff in Gutsy... any objections?? sounds good <_Nicola_> that sounds good to me ronnietucker, I was thinking of doing that for the flavour of the month mrmonday: because you haven't written one yet? :P you want to do the article for me :)? ronnietucker, meant after fluzbuntu *x i've sent a message to the Marketing Team mailing list asking for a link to a definite list of new features and screens if possible... <_Nicola_> sooner or later there won't be anymore flavors of Ubuntu to talk about! if we get a nice list of features and screens then i could write this up as the FotM for #5 then use fluxbuntu for #6 mrmonday? if you like _Nicola_: you'd be surprised at the amount of *buntu derivitives! 8O 's up to you mrmonday ... I can add the Gutsy thing as a one off extra feature type thing... ? well I was thinking I'd do fluxbuntu for #5 then a features thing for gutsy for #6 but I don't mind _Nicola_: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/derivatives <_Nicola_> ! wow ronnietucker, I though there were loads more than that? by #6 you could be doing a Gutsy install! :D mrmonday: there are but those are the kinda 'official' ones... that list doesn't have some of the smaller ones like Wubi. what the heck... lets put the fluxy and Gutsy thing in #5 hm?? so I now have to do 2 articles? or would you be doing the gutsy thing? no no, i'll do the Gutsy one :D :) unless someone else wants to do it?? * topaspv|laptop prepares for the 20mb download of #5 <_Nicola_> maybe they could just be shorter ones focusing on the main points of difference the Gutsy article will just be a few pages talking about 'whats new'... nothing too long... ronnietucker, could you maybe rather than writing it as an article, have each feature separate, and scattered through the mag? king of like a gap filler thing *kind then just have a page with the rest of the features possibly... but the reader might wonder why these boxes - not relevant to the article - keep appearing? :D and hopefully with word counts (etc) we won't have any extra space :D I think that unless that is something that is a convention that happens every issue from now on, it would be very disorienting i'd find it quite off putting... :/ anyway... there'll be Gutsy stuff in #5 :D yaaaay :D next: who wants to volunteer a photo of their PC for MyPC???... someone must want to show off their PC?.... :D i guess you're gonna have to buy yourself a new one alternatively remove the MyPC section.... :/ no takers for myPC then?... :( <_Nicola_> id do it, but my computer is not very exciting <_Nicola_> in fact, it is pretty boring doesn't have to be exciting... just a photo of it and 150 words... myPC sold to _Nicola_ ... NEXT! :D 3:0 <_Nicola_> !? <_Nicola_> hehe articles... two people in particular................ (i correct myself... THREE people) * mrmonday ducks it's not me. hurrah thats one mrmonday: still owes me Q&A and Fluxy install..... * TheDead1 pulls mrmonday back out * mrmonday hides in the cube while finishing his articles would mrmonday like to explain to the class why his homework isn't done? :D hehe faemir - you too... website of the month? sampbar (not here) - Ubuntu Youth... I started them... get the ruler out and was gonna finish them yesterday but I had a headache :( ruler nothing... when i was at school it was the belt... plus I've had a busy day today... sorry :( this all brings me to: 1) the /docs wiki needs updating a bit quicker. I know it's a bit of a pain and all but even after one week I had to put up the Top5 and Review articles... seven days of proofing lost :( * mrmonday would like an easier way of uploading images to the wiki if possible a mass upload option 2) people are waiting too close to deadline to write articles *cough* faemir and sampbar too *cough* the longer the article is up on the /docs wiki the more proofing it can get and it makes my life a bit easier... <_Nicola_> what about just an upload of a tar or something? <_Nicola_> the images don't need to be on the text in the wiki, do they? _Nicola_: has to be editable for the proof-readers <_Nicola_> yeah, a tar along side the normal text <_Nicola_> ? still need to put up the text either way... defeats the purpose of the tar? <_Nicola_> nono, the tar would just be for the images * linuxgeekery (n=ubuntu@fullcirclemagazine/webmaster/linuxgeekery) left irc: "Lost terminal" convenient ;P :P _Nicola_: possibly, yeah. mrmonday: would that be easier? a lot easier ok, sold. :) but you said to me no tars can i buy some thing :p if it means you guys will update the /doc wiki then fine, have your tars! :D but only the images go in the tar! text must be editable :) :) second last: any questions for the OpenFont Library guys?... what is the openfont library? what inspired you to make it? openfontlibrary.org how long did it take you to make it? they've agreed to be interviewed ronnietucker, i can't talk now, however I have been really really busy in the last 2 weeks, but i will do the article tonight. what purpose does it serve? etc the 'mrmonday book of default questions' then? ;P faemir: ok :) I'm good at making up Qs it's quite simple :) except when it's Q&A! lol and lastly (from me) - we seem to have two proofers AWOL so we're down to 4 proofers at the moment... lol <_Nicola_> hehe do we get to shoot them :) :P awol? unless i hear otherwise, they are deserters... :D AWOL = Absent With Out Leave thx topaspv: Army term, means they've ran off and deserted... :D i'm german. i should be the army guy here which reminds me of.. OH NO! :) and... i'm done. Anyone want to ask anything?? are there enough people here to decide if we should become official? hi all <_Nicola_> what would the difference be if we were official? <_Nicola_> hi sampbar ronnietucker, need to have a word with you! pm? official how? sampbar: please do :) michaelramm (n=michael@adsl-17-145-233.bhm.bellsouth.net) joined #fullcirclemagazine. hello to all before we decide we'll need to find out what being official means... ie: benefits/losses... ? hello to you <_Nicola_> jwill, i think it means as in: FCM, the official ubuntu magazine, an affiliate hi michaelramm oh ok <_Nicola_> it would mean more responsibility! as far as i was told by Jono Bacon it wouldn't affect us at all... <_Nicola_> that's good news then as in; there'd be no censorship etc cool cool? anything else would be ridiculous <_Nicola_> we will never stand to have our voices silenced! Sing with me! but i'll check into it more... bbs any other things? how can I sign up as a proofreader? jwill: ok, you're in :D haha <_Nicola_> but first you must answer these questions three... jwill: just send me an email and i'll get back to you with details k, will do ronnie@fullcirclemagazine.org anything else? going... Last message repeated 1 time(s). goi... was that a question?... :D *crickets* <_Nicola_> so in conclusion, im doing the mycomputer? <_Nicola_> err...my pc <_Nicola_> ? gone.... _Nicola_: yep :) <_Nicola_> ok, just wanted to be sure nice of you to volunteer :D <_Nicola_> hehe thanks _Nicola_ :) bk remember to clean the desk and dust before the photo :D <_Nicola_> : P well... unless there's any last things from anyone, this meetings done! :)
