New "job" openings for the 12.04 cycle (20:11 UTC) We still have some openings for authors and editors. You can view the current openings at <http://ubuntu-manual.org/jobs>. If you're interested in one of the open positions, please email <[email protected]>. Meet the new authors (20:14 UTC) A number of new authors and editors were in attendance at the meeting. Each meeting attendee introduced themselves and explained what part of the manual they were working on. See the meeting log for further information. Establish schedule for 12.04 release cycle (20:39 UTC) The proposed schedule for the release of Getting Started with Ubuntu 12.04 is as follows: May 31 – First draft completed: authors have updated and written new content; screenshots are in place. June 15 – Editors have edited and proofread content. June 22 – Release a draft for public comment and proofreading for one week. Incorporate changes as they are suggested. June 27 – Final draft is complete and all last-minute changes have been made. June 30 – The final PDF is released on our website and printed copies can be purchased via lulu.com. If you have any comments or objections to this schedule, please send a message to the Ubuntu Manual mailing list at <[email protected]>. Screenshots (21:02 UTC) While authors will be responsible for the obtaining original screenshots (as they know what they want to show), we will have one or two people retake all of the screenshots for the entire manual to ensure consistency throughout. Hannie and Kevin will write instructions for properly taking the screenshots and email the list soon. We will also explore reviving the Quickshot project <http://ubuntu-manual.org/quickshot> for use in the 12.10 edition. Kevin will contact the Quickshot developers to see if they are interested in reviving the project. If the original developers are unavailable, we will seek new developers to work on the project. The meeting was adjourned at 21:23 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
