18:24:49 * randomuser was distracted a bit there
18:25:27 <randomuser> zoglesby, here today?
18:28:33 <randomuser> mpduty, how are things with you?
18:29:12 <mpduty> would you take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Live_Image_Beat#NOTES
18:29:30 <mpduty> that much I could do till now
18:29:35 <randomuser> sure
18:30:11 <randomuser> good notes!
18:30:31 <randomuser> mpduty, is the split livecd thing going to happen for sure, or was it just proposed?
18:31:39 <mpduty> I am not sure, but there are many agreements on the list
18:32:40 <randomuser> desktop@ ?
18:33:52 <mpduty> the desktop live that people generally download from fedora site
18:34:08 <randomuser> I'm skeptical, there are *often* threads that equate to "the default installation should only include the packages I prefer and nothing I don't need" and that's not really a good reason to do something
18:34:20 <randomuser> mpduty, yes, but which list?
18:34:51 <randomuser> that image is going away to be replaced by Workstation if I understand correctly
18:38:54 * crantila lurks around the office hours
18:39:45 <randomuser> hey crantila!
18:40:00 <randomuser> I don't see you around here often enough
18:46:45 <crantila> don't see myself often enough either
18:47:10 <crantila> at least until the end of the summer, I have an IRC-friendly job, so maybe I'll even find some time to contribute a bit
18:47:25 <crantila> how have the office hours been going so far?
18:49:07 <randomuser> fairly well
18:49:42 <randomuser> it helps me be productive to have time blocked off, and a few new faces have taken advantage
18:50:10 <randomuser> if we start doing more things to increase our visibility in the community, i think it will get more popular
18:51:18 <crantila> agreed. I've been happy to see efforts like this and the Cookbook actually underway
18:52:10 <randomuser> yeah, we've needed something like the cookbook for a while
18:53:34 <randomuser> hoping for some more participation once we 'launch' it with the new site
18:54:18 <randomuser> crantila, what happens at the end of the summer? are you a contractor, or just moving on?
18:55:17 <crantila> for all I know, I may be staying... I guess I'm a contractor... a contractor-scholar-programmer...
18:55:24 <crantila> which sounds more interesting than it is :P
18:55:48 <randomuser> heh
18:56:03 <randomuser> it sounds self-directed enough that you can *make* it interesting
18:58:08 <crantila> that's the trade-off for job security, or so it seems right now
18:58:54 <randomuser> well, i hope it works out in your favor
19:00:45 <crantila> thanks!
19:01:04 <crantila> this reminds me, I was supposed to have responded to Leslie Satenstein by now...
19:02:13 <randomuser> yeah, how is that going?
19:02:44 <randomuser> I really didn't have the patience to examine ten page ODFs for one word changes, regardless of their merit
19:03:39 <crantila> well, I volunteered to review a couple of pages. I enjoy nit-picking(!), so it's not so bad
19:05:48 <randomuser> :)
19:06:22 <randomuser> feel free to nitpick anything I write when you're in the mood
19:06:43 * randomuser has a realistic perspective on his technical writing skills
19:07:49 <crantila> I guess it's almost time to start combing through the Release Notes again, isn't it?
19:08:16 <randomuser> we've already started
19:11:27 <crantila> then I'd better get my act together!
19:21:24 <zoglesby> randomuser: I was eating food with Sparks and jsmith
19:21:59 <zoglesby> physical meeting
19:22:04 <zoglesby> IRL!
19:24:08 <randomuser> docs_office_hours^2 !
19:30:35 * Sparks is here
19:31:05 <Sparks> zoglesby: Wait, how did you get back before I did?
19:31:26 <zoglesby> 97 -> 32 -> my office
19:31:38 <zoglesby> easy drive without the beach traffic
19:35:13 <Sparks> zoglesby: Okay, next time *I* get to pick the location
19:35:54 <zoglesby> Sparks: fine by me, I just wanted to eat Mexican and that seemed near equal distance
19:36:10 <Sparks> zoglesby: Well, equal for you and I.
19:36:26 <zoglesby> nothing will be equal for all three of us
19:36:39 <zoglesby> Sparks: but I did say that we could find another location
19:36:57 <zoglesby> We could have done *near* DC
19:37:06 <zoglesby> note: Not into, near
