How is that right-click desktop menu done in xubuntu? xfce doesn't have it by default 10:14 fijam sorry if this is offtopic 10:14 sacater anyone know somewhere I can post a screenshot? 10:14 sacater fijam: easy 10:14 Admiral_Chicago imageshack.us 10:14 sacater go to xfce settings 10:14 sacater Admiral_Chicago: ty 10:14 j1mc sacater: yes, xubuntu does have a different menu layout than other Xfce-based distros, but that doesn't mean we're bad. 10:14 sacater and then do 'right click menu' or something 10:14 j1mc or that it's a wrong approach. 10:14 sacater j1mc: never implied that 10:15 fijam sacater: yes, but it is customized.

I think that this topic is something that could get added to our "ways to contribute to Xubuntu" list. 10:41 Admiral_Chicago definetl 10:41 j1mc noted. 10:41 j1mc :) 10:41 Admiral_Chicago i'm looking to make this a team effort, not a "Let Freddy hack on it all the time" 10:42 j1mc ok... === hoora_ [i=ariel@gateway/tor/x-211e0908f4c2ccff] has joined #ubuntu-meeting 10:42 j1mc sacater: Jester45 you all still here? :) 10:42 Admiral_Chicago latest panel too..plans to include 4.4.2 10:43 Admiral_Chicago not as a commit, but works in progess 10:43 j1mc one of the things that came up at the last meeting was ways for people to contribute to Xubuntu in whatever way they can. 10:43 j1mc i'm curious to know how others might want to contribute to Xubuntu... what interests them. 10:44 j1mc Jester45: I know I see you providing great support in #xubuntu all the time. 10:45 j1mc ... ok, maybe they stepped away. 10:45 Admiral_Chicago xubuntu art has been uploaded, what does that mean mr_pouit? 10:45 mr_pouit xubuntu art? 10:46 mr_pouit iirc, jmak hasn't finished yet 10:46 Admiral_Chicago you can ignore me then... 10:47 Admiral_Chicago I'm thinking that we can do a "look forward to section" 10:47 j1mc mr_pouit: it looks like you uploaded a change in the xubuntu-artwork package that fixed a bug: Fixed xubuntu-artwork-usplash.prerm to update-initramfs -u on package 10:47 j1mc remove.(LP: #83410) 10:48 mr_pouit j1mc: ah yes 10:48 mr_pouit Admiral_Chicago: sorry, you were right :P 10:49 j1mc well, seeing as we have myself, Admiral_Chicago and fijam here... shall we talk a bit about documentation? 10:49 Admiral_Chicago hehe, i think we can stop talking about the release noted 10:49 Admiral_Chicago lets 10:50 j1mc well, we're slowly making progress, uploading our first real patch yesterday, but we should probably have a timeframe mapped out to make sure we don't get too rushed at the end. 10:51 j1mc and maybe we can assign each other specific sections to focus on... 10:51 Admiral_Chicago agreed.
