(16:16:48) frankl: and we had the State of the Project presentation last Thursday. Please find the presentation here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Renaissance:Presentations. We will blog about this later today.

(16:17:53) Modus (+o frankl ) von ChanServ
(16:18:44) mdamboldt: Anything else somebody wants to mention in todays round table?
(16:19:03) lizm: BTW, I blogged on GullFOSS and UX about the wiki usage survey, but if anyone knows of more places I should ask for participants, please let me know of feel free to post the link yourself. Thx!
(16:20:04) lizm: Could I put a link right on the main wiki page?
(16:20:35) Andreas_sun: OOo Wiki?
(16:20:44) lizm: Ooo wiki, yes.
(16:20:51) Andreas_sun: why not
(16:20:54) ambrin: Hi everyone. I am new here. I am a Designer/Project Manager from Atlanta. Work a lot with UX/UI. I went through the sign up process just have to catch up on the reading now.
(16:21:07) Andreas_sun: welcome!
(16:21:17) lizm: Of course I'd take the link to the survey away as soon as the survey is over. Welcome Ambrin!
(16:21:52) Andreas_sun: you didn't introduce yourself on the ux/ui lists yet, did you ambrin?
(16:22:30) ambrin: No -- I just signed up this weekend -- and that is on my list of things to do
(16:22:54) lizm: Hey Ambrin, Do you like analyzing data or would you rather use pixels? ;-) We would love to have you involved in any capacity you feel comfortable.
(16:23:05) rtimm: lizm: a link at the wiki entry page sounds fine. Just that the page is a bit chaotic - where to best put it?
(16:23:37) lizm: rtimm: yes, that is a problem. Hmmm. We'll have to look and see.
(16:24:37) lizm: ambrin: how is the weather in Atlanta? My parents are in CT and have snow.
(16:25:14) ambrin: lizm: They both sound appealing to me. We had snow yesterday -- it was nice.
(16:26:27) lizm: Snow in Atlanta, huh. I've got Georgia on my mind ;-) Seriously, the UX team is short-handed so we can use lots of hands. Hope you have two. ;-)
(16:27:26) lizm: After you introduce yourself on the list we'll know more about your areas of interest and enjoy throwing tasks your way. If you pick em up and run that's great. You choose what you want to do.
(16:28:05) ambrin: lizm: You are lucky I do. Okay great I will get that done today.
(16:28:09) lizm: Naturally you can also invent tasks for yourself and join in other already existing efforts. There is soooo much to do. You won't be bored!
(16:28:32) mdamboldt: Ok, anything else for the round table?
(16:28:32) mdamboldt: ambrin: I'm eager to read more from you. Hopefully you like this project and like spend some time on it with us.
(16:28:47) lizm: Great. Good to have you aboard! Ahoy!
(16:29:06) lizm: no, I'll be quiet now.
(16:29:32) mdamboldt: Ok, silence is taken as "nothing else for today" :)
(16:29:42) lizm: bye
(16:29:42) mdamboldt: So talk to you all again latest next week.
