Cheers, Pasi Sorry, I realized I wasn't specific enough. I meant creating a Getting Started with Documentation page. As of now, there doesn't seem to be a place that lists out all the different steps for getting going with documentation: signing the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, creating a public key, uploading the key to Lauchpad, installing Bzr and Docbook, etc. I'm proposing a single page that lists out all those different steps. That's a good point, thanks for pointing it out Ted! Since Xubuntu is technically part of the Ubuntu Documentation team, I think we tend to assume people will use the documentation there, ie: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/UbuntuDesktopGuide But I guess it's not very discoverable if you're not familiar with the community, and since Ubuntu switched over from DocBook to Mallard some of the instructions are no longer accurate for Xubuntu.

Also worthy of note, we offer 32 and 64-bit versions. 64-bit tends to take more RAM so we'll want to pay attention to that. Now, I'd like to propose the following testing plan that it would be great to see results from a few folks for to test a random smattering of CPUs and other factors: Test 1: 12.04 Alternate CD, 32 64-bit Our website claims you can install 12.04 Alternate on 64M of RAM, I'm skeptical but we should start here :) Use the 12.04 Alternate CD installer on a VM with 64M of RAM and a single CPU - I suspect the installer will finish but will it even boot? If not, add RAM by increments of 64M of RAM until you get a system that boots and you can log in to. Report results (remember, we say 512M once it's installed, so if it's slow that might be ok) Test 2: 12.04 Live CD, 32 64-bit Our website claims you can install 12.04 standard on 256M of RAM, this may be possible - let's try!

I mean protecting users from unwanted searches and unrequested Amazon suggestions or other similar steps. If users specifically want such capabilities, let them choose to install something. Let the OS do nothing to promote and instead do the opposite (discourage upsteam from building such features into DEs, exclude packages from default install that do such things, etc.). I understand the distro makes many choices but let those choices be guided by principles of freedom and privacy as much as possible. While this is not specifically mentioned in the Strategy Document, the components in Xubuntu do not do this, and if anything that does would be proposed for inclusion, it would need a thorough discussion. I think I can speak for the whole team that nobody wants such things in. However, it would be quite some work to get a well thought out strategy written, so I'm uncertain if we want to take the extra step unless we need to make a clear decision for or agaisnt such things. Ultimately, while security and privacy is important for us, we aren't exactly a security-focused OS, nor is it our goal to become one. There are other OS'es that do it better than us. (Again, this is not to say I think we shouldn't care about the privacy of our users.) +1 I will add that I really don't like adding reactionary things to our Strategy Document.

Getting started with the 12.04 Documentation Stable Release Update
Hi everyone, There has been interest in helping with the docs lately, so we wanted to get rolling with the Stable Release Update (SRU) to the 12.04 documentation. As Pasi explained here[0], we rewrote the documentation in 12.10 cycle and now wish to copy those changes back to our 12.04 documentation, which was never properly updated. This will require you to go through the documentation to find anything that is different between 12.10 and 12.04, for instance: in 12.10 we dropped GIMP and Gnumeric so we didn't cover it, but we did have them in 12.04 so we will want those applications mentioned. Another example would be some menu items having been moved around or have changed labels. Note that it is definitely OK to review and copy relevant parts from the old documentation to the new one. Pasi has gone ahead and created this new branch for 12.04 to work on: To get the new 12.04 documentation branch where we will push all the changes, run the following command: bzr branch lp:xubuntu-docs/precise xubuntu-docs-precise To get the old 12.04 documentation branch, run the following command: bzr branch lp:xubuntu-docs/natty-oneiric xubuntu-docs-precise-old This will leave you with two directories, xubuntu-docs-precise and xubuntu-docs-precise-old. You will be now able to compare the documentation where applicable. Just remember commit the changes to the new documentation branch. As with the regular documentation contributions Launchpad merge requests are more than welcome. If you aren't familiar with those but are willing to help, be in touch with us and we'll make the magic happen. Please feel free to discuss changes or questions here on the mailing list or on IRC in #xubuntu-devel. On IRC knome (Pasi) or pleia2 (myself) should be able to help you with your questions :) [0] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2013-July/009107.html -- Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph || Lyz || pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- xubuntu-devel mailing list xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel

Thank you for taking the time to write this! I've been super swamped with work lately so just getting to reply to this now... I propose that there be a Desktop of the Week screenshot gallery in Xubuntu.org. It doesn't have to be center-stage for all Xubuntu screenshots but it would be nice if it could sit right on the homepage. Not the entire gallery but just the particular desktop for the week. It should occupy the same space that the official Xubuntu screenshots is now occupying. If not, the gallery could be placed in this page: http://xubuntu.org/screenshots/, right next to the official Xubuntu screenshots gallery. As to how to gather the needed screenshots, we'd first have to gather some from you guys, the Xubuntu dev team, then the general Xubuntu community. Before the first of the feature is ever published, we need to be able to gather up enough images, then we can keep going. If there's a different person required for maintaining this gallery besides the person already maintaining the official screenshots, I would gladly volunteer. Thank you. I think this is a great idea, some comments about what I think we'll need: 1. Submission method This can be flickr, deviantart, email so-and-so - or a combination of these things. This would be a submission for review, not something that would automatically be put up on our site. 2. Submission guidelines Some people put some pretty offensive stuff on their desktops as their backgrounds :) We'll want to write up some guidelines to make sure people know their screenshots should Safe For Work and make sure those who volunteer to review understand these guidelines. Also included in this should be a license, confirmation that they have permission to share the background image (either they own it or the license of the image allows it to be shared as part of a screenshot) and their agreement that we can use their screenshot on our website. 3. At least 2 people who can volunteer to review submissions and commit to providing submissions to the web team for putting them up on the site in a timely manner.

Is this 30 minutes of work that would have to be done every time a new iso is spun up (so, daily for dev images)? Are you include time to test these in the 30 minutes? And does it require editing of the .torrent file that the release team publishes? I'm wondering if this is a discussion better held Ubuntu-wide rather than just being done for a single flavor, with the maintenance overhead falling solely upon us. I'm also wondering on our end if we're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist, and spending precious time doing it (even if we only update them upon release, release day is already quite insane with us for the number of things we have to update and limited people power!). I haven't seen evidence that a lot of people download a .torrent and believe it's an .iso image (or how this would solve that - an error if they don't have a torrent client? wouldn't that cause them to believe they can't download it at all?) As an aside, since I run all my Ubuntu torrents on a headless server I prefer access to the .torrent link so I can just wget it on my server.

Re: Articles needed for a special edition of a magazine about Ubuntu Flavors
Hi everyone, Just got notes back from the magazine editor, we can begin writing! I liked Jackson's idea for collaboratively editing them all. Each of us will still write our own, just have it available as a collaborative document either with Google Docs or pad.ubuntu.com just in case we get busy/pulled way or whatever we'll at least have a start (if you aren't a member of the team that can edit things on pad.ubuntu.com you can request to be added, I'm an admin of the etherpad launchpad team). Each article should be 2 to 8 printed pages, each page should expect to have have 2500 characters and 2 screen shots/images. For reference, he also wrote: Please remember to keep community and technical subjects wisely balanced. First, we'd like to convince people to Xubuntu. When they find this OS exciting - we can show them a community path. Anyway, I consider an article Experiences, challenges and the reasons I settled on Xubuntu as a technical one :) As a reminder, here's the list of articles: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Marketing/Magazine2013 If you see one that's Unassigned please volunteer to write it!

Xubuntu Website Sprint on Saturday November 19th at 22:00 UTC
Hi everyone, This weekend, on Saturday, November 19th, at 22:00 UTC the Xubuntu website team will be hosting a Website Sprint in #xubuntu-devel on irc.freenode.net The current site runs on Drupal and we will be moving to a WordPress-based site soon. This sprint is intended to be a full, community-involved, review of the current site content before we move and to work through any issues we may have with the staging site running on WordPress before we go live. So, during this sprint we will: - Review todo list at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Website - Submit bugs regarding content to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xubuntu-website - Discuss and review new WordPress theme and pages staged at http://wp.xubuntu.org Unable to attend? We'll be updating https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Website/Sprint throughout the week to provide a full list of tasks we wish to get to during this sprint so even if you're not available during the IRC-based sprint itself we invite you to review that page to see what tasks we have available and outstanding. -- Elizabeth Krumbach // Lyz // pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- xubuntu-devel mailing list xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel

I'd suggest either It works well on older hardware too. or It works quite well on older hardware too. Actually, can we get rid of it entirely? On the old site we worked to remove references to Xubuntu being optimized to run on older hardware because there are concerns about how well it actually does out of the box - too many reviews were being written with this is supposed to be light-weight, and it's not slants that weren't painting the distro in a great light. I think it would be good to focus on how great of a multi-purpose distro it is in general rather than mentioning older hardware and possibly setting folks up for disappointment, particularly if their definition of older differs from ours. -- Elizabeth Krumbach // Lyz // pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- xubuntu-devel mailing list xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel

Re: Xubuntu.org Website Review - Part2
indentation. The fourth bullet point should link to https://launchpad.net/xubuntu-docs, not https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-docs. Indeed! Fixed. The fifth bullet point should link to the wiki in question (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu?). I don't think the wiki in question is Xubuntu and I really don't know how wiki documentation translations work. Can someone else chime in here? In the sixth bullet point there are two links to the LoCoTeams wiki, but the second one results in the message Redirected from page LoCo being displayed at the top of the page. I suggest that we use the URL from the first link in the second one as well. This is a recent change for that link, it now redirects to loco.ubuntu.com - I've put that link in instead. Programming and Packaging (http://xubuntu.org/contribute/development) In the third bullet point, it refers to both ... an Xubuntu developer ... and ... a Xubuntu developer Which is correct depends on how you pronounce Xubuntu (is there an official way to pronounce it, I didn't see anything on the website?), but we should stick to one or the other, as they can't both be correct. I pronounce it Zoo-buntu, so would say that ... a Xubuntu developer ... is correct, but I've also heard people call it Ex-ubuntu, which would make the other one the correct version. Good catch! It's Zoo-buntu so a Xubuntu is correct. In the fifth bullet point, the list of bounties linked to (http://www.ubuntu.com/community/bounties) doesn't exist any more. We need to update the link or drop the bullet point. As far as I know these don't exist anymore. Does anyone else have an update on this? I'm thinking we just drop it but I haven't yet in case someone else has something to add. Other Is it right that Canonical own the copyright to the website's content? I know they own the copyright to the name Xubuntu, but do we have to assign copyright for the website content to them, or could we hold it ourselves? Good question, Kubuntu uses: © 2010 Canonical Ltd. and the Kubuntu community. So I'm inclined to do similar. Hope that helps. It helps a ton! You rock! Thanks so much for doing this :) I'm happy to proof-read the WordPress version of the site before it goes live, if that's needed. Excellent. Once we have the theme completed we'll start moving content over (most of it will just be duplicated verbatim) and will have a big, formal review then. -- Elizabeth Krumbach // Lyz // pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- xubuntu-devel mailing list xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel

There is a confirmed bug for this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xubuntu-website/+bug/797600 It's actually the last outstanding bug for the site. I do understand that keeping multiple languages on a same site that updates frequently is hard, so I wonder if it won't be possible to use the google translate tools to add a simple you are welcome, sorry we don't have a better solution feeling. I don't have experience with translating sites and so we're exploring our options for translation support in Wordpress when we move to that later in the cycle. At the very least we'd like to do some kind of revision control for pages so if translators want to do a translation in their language they can base it upon a specific snapshot in time of the site. This is also part of why we're doing this review, we want everything updated so when we get to the point where we want to translate we don't need to make many changes. A Google translate option sounds like it's worth pursuing too. -- Elizabeth Krumbach // Lyz // pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- xubuntu-devel mailing list xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel

This far Elizabeth (pleia2 at IRC) has been creating most of the screenshots, but I'm sure others can help as well. There is actually an outstanding site bug related to screenshots: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xubuntu-website/+bug/784158 To fix this bug we need screenshots of a more recent upgrade, currently it has screenshots of synaptic in intrepid and an jaunty to karmic upgrade, which is getting a bit stale :) Of course in order to get this screenshot you need to install a Maverick system and get screenshots of upgrading to Natty, which I haven't gotten around to yet.

Hi everyone, Over the past couple months I've been working with the team to get all our pages on xubuntu.org up to date. Most of the content bugs have been fixed but we need more eyes reviewing the site. In particular, we need to go through the pages linked here to make sure everything is accurate: http://xubuntu.org/contribute I worked with Charlie to update the Quality Assurance, Bugs and Testing New Versions section, but for those of you active in the other four areas if you could take a quick look at your sections to make sure 1) the information is accurate 2) the information is complete.

Traditionally this package has been maintained in a bzr branch here: https://code.launchpad.net/xubuntu-docs but since your upload of 9.10.2 the bzr branch is no longer up to date. I'd be happy to create a maverick branch and update it if you could send me a patch or bundle on the latest lucid branch with your changes. At present as I understand it there is no one in the Ubuntu Docteam taking care of xubuntu-docs. I wonder if you have any ideas about whether you or any other members of the Xubuntu team would be interested in contributing. If so I would be happy to help to facilitate this or answer queries about how the docteam works.

It's still small enough to not be a bureaucratic hassle, but tends to give good representation of the community, healthy discussions with several viewpoints that hold official weight and doesn't put strain on the council time-wise - in a 5 person council, it's ok if two members are unavailable, quorum can still be met so decisions can be made and the project moved forward.
