Meeting log: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/07/14/%23ubuntu-manual.html#t19:10 Kevin Godby (godbyk) called the meeting to order at 19:10 UTC. == Attendance == In attendance were: * ajmontag * ChrisWoollard * commandoline * CrustyBarnacle * godbyk * hannie * PaddyLandau * TonyP == Review Precise cycle == Kevin compiled the responses from the mailing list thread that reviewed the Precise cycle. The compilation of responses can be views at <http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/UMP-Q-1stmeeting>. == Menubar / top bar / panel == Hannie wrote to the Ubuntu Manual and Ubuntu Docs mailing lists to ask about the proper terminology for the bar along the top of the screen in Unity. Should it be referred to as the menubar, the top bar, the panel, or something else? The Ubuntu Docs mailing list thread on this topic can be found at <https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2012-July/thread.html>. An Ubuntu forum topic was raised on the same issue: <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2022172> == Ubuntu 12.10 release schedule == The Ubuntu 12.10 release schedule is shown at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseSchedule>. Kevin has emailed the list with a proposed release schedule for Getting Started with Ubuntu 12.10 that coincides with the Ubuntu 12.10 release date. Please comment on the proposed release schedule in the mailing list thread: <https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/msg03415.html>. == Ubuntu Manual website == Kevin suggested that we redesign the <http://ubuntu-manual.org> website. Currently, releasing a manual to the website requires a lot of manual editing of files and is inefficient. In addition, it's difficult to update the translated versions of the website. PaddyLandau is exploring the possibility of using WordPress to drive the new site. commandoline is looking through the Drupal code that drives the test site at <http://test.ubuntu-manual.org/>. == Authors/Editors Spreadsheet == Hannie has created a new spreadsheet to use with 12.10 to track the authors and editors of each section of the manual: <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApS28NMLnYJXdHJIWllPb2hITGppZDBhaUNqRnBLZlE#gid=0> Please contact Hannie of c7p if you'd like to work on the 12.10 manual in your current role or if you'd like to take on a new role. == Any other business == No other business was brought forward. == Adjourned == The meeting was adjourned at 20:23 UTC. --Kevin Godby _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
