<tyche> The Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter #141 was sent as an email to the mailing list.  Is there someone who can release it?
#ubuntu-news 2009-05-12
<thewrath> a web form; what specific needs do you guys need with this?
<nizarus> who is the moderator of the news mailing list ?? we have a lot of spam this last days :/
<boredandblogging> if people subscribe and send spam
<boredandblogging> not much we can do
<nizarus> boredandblogging, it's a spam about viagra and things like this :/ i think that it's an automatic spammer, no ?
<nizarus> a new one have just arrived :D
<boredandblogging> hmm, not sure how they are getting through
<boredandblogging> they aren't subscribed
#ubuntu-news 2009-05-13
<thewrath> anyone here?

<thewrath> -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
<thewrath> crap
<thewrath> disregard please
<thewrath> the web form you guys need is that a general one?
<boredandblogging> web form?
<nhandler> And thewrath, you should consider creating a new key and getting this one revoked. You wouldn't want someone to revoke it without you knowing
<thewrath> nhandler: all ready revoke
<thewrath> ?
<thewrath> nvm the ?
<thewrath> i was not scrolled down
<thewrath> boredandblogging: looking for the link
<thewrath> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge under tasks...
<thewrath> the first item
<boredandblogging> let me look
<nhandler> boredandblogging: I'll defer to you. I'm not sure how up-to-date that list is, especially with the planned fridge redesign.
<boredandblogging> thewrath: yeah, something like that would be nice
<thewrath> ok
<thewrath> what details would need to be on it
<boredandblogging> while at the same time not being completely full of spam
<thewrath> teh only spam i may put is in recaptcha
<boredandblogging> something like Subject, Link, Quick Summary, and email address
<thewrath> they would have to be logged in right?
<boredandblogging> no
<boredandblogging> but
<thewrath> so captcha okay?
<boredandblogging> that may be something we need to add later
<thewrath> ok so i can add captcha so "spam" gets added
<nhandler> You could use OpenID to eliminate the need for the captcha and email address
<boredandblogging> thewrath: are you thinking about doing this in php?
<thewrath> yes i
<boredandblogging> think the first version can be just captcha
<thewrath> k
<boredandblogging> but openid/LP integration would be the next step
<thewrath> true
<thewrath> i do not know how to do that i think ic an talk to paultag who is part of bt about that
<nhandler> boredandblogging: What would be the use case for something like this?
<thewrath> nhandler: has he made his bug tracker use that?
<nhandler> thewrath: I don't know. But OpenID is pretty well documented. It shouldn't be too hard to get it working
<boredandblogging> nhandler: sorry, use case for what?
<nhandler> boredandblogging: A form to submit news stories for the fridge. Since the form requires an email address, wouldn't it be just as easy to send an email to the list?
<boredandblogging> sending an email to the list requires subscribing to the list
<boredandblogging> someone might have a drive by idea
<boredandblogging> or a link they just saw
<nhandler> I thought non-subscribed users just had to wait for their message to go through the moderation queue
<boredandblogging> they can
<boredandblogging> its just an alternate way of submitting news
<boredandblogging> the web form is just an alternate way
<nhandler> But what would it accomplish? Unless the form changed the From field on the email before sending it to the list, it would still need to be moderated if the user was not subscribed.
<boredandblogging> yes, but the sender doesn't get a message saying their message is waiting for approval and all that
<nhandler> Why wouldn't they? The email would be listed as coming from them, so they would get the email.
<thewrath> so i can do it in php with recaptcha... boredandblogging who should i send it to?
<thewrath> i will zip it, encrypt and sign it
<boredandblogging> actually, I was thinking the email would be if we wanted to credit someone with the story
<boredandblogging> or need more info
<nhandler> So the form would send the idea to the list using its own email address?
<boredandblogging> yeah, we would need to probably send it using an email address that the list would let through automatically
<boredandblogging> with maybe a subject like "Fridge Submission: foo bar baz"
<thewrath> boredandblogging: who should i send my files to? what is the mailing list e-mail address?
<thewrath> i will need to know that to tet it
<boredandblogging> thewrath: can you check it in to LP?
<boredandblogging> thewrath: ubuntu-news-team@lists.ubuntu.com
<thewrath> sorry i am sucky dsl atm and have oen machien on my network doing udates

<akgraner> nhandler, ping
<akgraner> joey, ping can you take a look - see if this Calendar looks ok... http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/2038
<joey> Access denied
<joey> You are not authorized to access this page.
<akgraner> nhandler, that's what I was pinging you about earlier trying to figure out how to - but I think I figured it out...
<johnc4510> log in and it shows up
<johnc4510> :)
<akgraner> I had someone asking if we could go ahead and add the classroom Calendar before the switch to WP press.. so I created a new page :-)
<akgraner> johnc4510, can you check the links
<johnc4510> sure
<akgraner> thanks
<akgraner> the ical, xml, and html ones
<johnc4510> nods
<akgraner> make sure I didn't leave the Fridge ones in there
<akgraner> please :-D
<joey> what good is a public calendar that you have to first log into? You can get the rss then
<joey> but after logging in, it does look great :-0
<joey> :-)
<akgraner> maybe don't once it's published
<johnc4510> akgraner: xml and html work fine...the ical gives you the script but i'm not free to add it right now
<akgraner> I haven't published it yet - I'm still on probation for adding stuffs
<akgraner> :-)
<johnc4510> a preview
<johnc4510> :)
<akgraner> johnc4510, ok I'll fix it...:-)
<akgraner> johnc4510, yeah that's what I get to - from the gcal page
<johnc4510> it's the right one....says learning events
<akgraner> nhandler, can you take a look and fix it as necessary??
<akgraner> johnc4510, ok thanks.. then I'll publish it then...
<johnc4510> akgraner: don't you just plug that into your igoogle calendar?
<johnc4510> i think it's right
<akgraner> I think .. but I don't every use that.. :-/
<johnc4510> i'll try to find time later to test it
<johnc4510> up to my elbows at the moment
<johnc4510> :)
<akgraner> ok now if someone above my skillz can add it to the the left under Under Fridge Calendar so it will show in the list as an option that would rock.. :-D  http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/2038
<akgraner> or walk me through how to do it would be even better :-)
<akgraner> not under it  - but below it in the list
<johnc4510> akgraner: i don't have access to that i guess....it should be under administer>By Module...but it's not there so it must be restricted
<akgraner> ahhh ok
<akgraner> thanks...
<johnc4510> that's where it usually is with drupal as i remember
<johnc4510> sorry
<akgraner> no worries... :-/
<akgraner> nhandler, do you know?
<johnc4510> k
<joey> OK, the classroom calendar has been added
<joey> seems that only I personally can do that :-(
<akgraner> Joey - I'll email you the others we have 2 more - so ...:-)
<akgraner> but don't look for those til next week.. I still have to fix the blueprint
<joey> k
<joey> hopefully this "Joey super-cow-powers" thing will be fixed with Drupal
<joey> newz mentioned that it's an artifact of pre-openid days
<akgraner> joey, you mean WordPress :-P
<joey> er, right!
<akgraner> nm me today.. my todo list is getting done so I am happy happy happy...:-)

<ZachK_> oko
<highvoltage> ZachK_: we had some talk on the ubuntu-education list today about packaging up the moodle content that the ubuntu education team is working on

<highvoltage> I think that will be kind of cool
<ZachK_> ok and?
<highvoltage> ZachK_: well I thought it would be nice for ubuntu beginners
<ZachK_> highvoltage: well you'd have to talk to the ubuntu-beginners council for that
<highvoltage> yep, will do so as it gets in shape
<joey> akgraner!
<joey> akgraner: There's a msg in the news team submisison queue waiting for moderation.... that I just sent.... that YOU want to see.

#ubuntu-news 2010-05-20
 * akgraner looks
<akgraner> joey sweet!  I'm going to put the attachments on a public link and resend to the whole list :-)
<akgraner> Elaine rocks!
<nhandler> akgraner: Do you still need me (sorry for not being around the past week or so)
<akgraner> nhandler, no worries  - hope all is well?
<akgraner> nhandler, you gave me the opportunity to learn something new :-D  so it was all good...
<nhandler> akgraner: Yeah. Just some end of the year stuff.
<akgraner> oh yeah the school year ends soon :-)
<nhandler> akgraner: Yeah. I was playing catch-up for a few weeks due to missing class for AP exams ;)
<akgraner> nhandler,  how do you think you did?
<akgraner> I bet great!
<nhandler> akgraner: I'll probably get some credit for all of the AP courses I took (so 4s and 5s). I'll have to wait until July to see the exact scores
<akgraner> that's great  - you are looking forward to summer I hope
<akgraner> hey Fridge editors can one of you all take a look at this Bug Day Target Announcement Post please - http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/2039
<akgraner> nhandler, johnc4510 MTecknology can one of you all take a look at http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/2039 for me please :-D and Thank you
<nhandler> akgraner: Your lists are weird. Why do you use a different <ul> for each bullet?
<akgraner> cause the other way didn't look right either :-(
<MTecknology> akgraner: i'm not sure - but I think you should add a comma after Thursday in "Thursday 20th May 2010"
<akgraner> I thought I did ...hmmm
<akgraner> maybe I didn't save that
<akgraner> but yeah it needs it :-)
<MTecknology> akgraner: looks good - and fun
<nhandler> Yeah, besides the <ul> issue, I have no other issues with it
<MTecknology> akgraner: you're definitely an up beat person and it shows
<akgraner> I try :-)
<akgraner> nhandler, does it matter as long as it displays right??  just curious
<akgraner> I'll fix the spacing.. I didn't see that earlier
<nhandler> akgraner: Well, in my browser, the spacing in the list got a little messed up (which is how I noticed the issue). But this is really a minor thing. I would be interested in seeing what you had originally that didn't work
<nhandler> akgraner: But for now, I'm heading to bed. You have my +1 to post it when you are ready
<MTecknology> akgraner: i'd be interested in taking a peak at what you had originally too
<akgraner> I fixed it - refresh  :-)
<MTecknology> akgraner: thumbs up
<akgraner> I used these instructions - <ul> <li>First item</li> <li>Second item</li> </ul>
<akgraner> and it did the 2lines right but after that I got the solid black bullet point
<MTecknology> oh
<akgraner> so I just did them all like the 1st line.. but then I went back and just changed it til it looked right :-/
<MTecknology> any chance you missed a / in an </li>
<akgraner> so I dunno but I just fixed my notes so I'll get it right next time
<MTecknology> I've seen that happen a whole dang lot - sometimes has that effect with certain css
<akgraner> MTecknology, maybe - but I just cut and pasted
<akgraner> so I dunno
<akgraner> I never say never with me
<akgraner> :-D
<MTecknology> :P
<MTecknology> weird things happen in web :P
<akgraner> I learn something every time I post something :-)
<akgraner> and that's cool
<MTecknology> :)
<MTecknology> always good to learn
<akgraner> and on that note with the Forum link and the planet tag now added  - I am going to find my pillow :-)  Thanks!
<akgraner> looks like some great ideas coming from the website meeting...
<akgraner> :-)
#ubuntu-news 2010-05-23
<akgraner> The new edition of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available here:
<akgraner> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue194
<akgraner> johnc4510, can you take a look at http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/2040
<That_Wiki_Guy> Hey akgraner
#ubuntu-news 2011-05-17
<akgraner_> hey y'all...
<akgraner_> I should be back online this afternoon...
<akgraner_> talk chat more laters  - gotta go get this knee looked...
<MrChrisDruif> I don't know if any admins are around on this channel, but UBT Wiki FG meeting just started. Anyone who wants to join #ubuntu-meeting is welcome
#ubuntu-news 2011-05-18
<akgraner> HI all!
<akgraner> I'll take a look at all the action items and get started working on the ones I signed up for today...:-) pleia2 if there is something I've missed please let me know  - expect blog post later today..:-)
<akgraner> thanks for everyone who hangs out in the channel - please let us know what areas you would like to work on if you haven't done so already  - many changes coming along this cycle to make this whole thing easier....yay!
<MrChrisDruif> akgraner; How's it going?
<akgraner> better now :-)
<pleia2> morning akgraner
<akgraner> I'm home...and have new cap isn't dislocated anymore
<akgraner> pleia2, hey
<akgraner> knee even
<akgraner> jezz it's a Monday on a Wednesday
<pleia2> :)
<akgraner> pleia2, I'll blog today and link to the either pad and outline plan of action
<akgraner> unless you've already done that?
<MrChrisDruif> Good to hear your knee cap and the rest is better :)
<pleia2> akgraner: nope, I am just looking at the action items now
<akgraner> pleia2,  :-) awesome
<pleia2> akgraner: my action item is: [lyz] Migrate how-to to Jobs page
<akgraner> :-)
<pleia2> did we mean the 40+step document for how-to?
<akgraner> yep - so each step would be a job
<akgraner> or combination of steps would be a job
<pleia2> I'm thinking combination of steps
<akgraner> nods
<akgraner> :-)
<pleia2> so I'll create a /Tasks and reference step numbers
<pleia2> we can refine as needed
<akgraner> you know why I did those that way right
<akgraner> so that there would be one complete list of everything somewhere
<pleia2> yeah, it's good
<pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/EditingPolicies needs some love, it's got a lot of content and the flow isn't great
<akgraner> pleia2, yep - so how does this sound
<akgraner> I'll blog the changes atc
<pleia2> it's 6am, I think I've resigned to being on east coast time this week (going to florida on saturday, so makes sense right?)
<akgraner> etc
 * pleia2 hates jetlag :)
<akgraner> then we can find people to help clean up the wiki's
<pleia2> ok
<akgraner> and figure out who wants to be on the leadership team
<akgraner> and set the process for that once we've announced all the changes and re-launch date
<akgraner> pleia2, I know you didn't sign up for all thos extra work, but thank you for all you are doing
<akgraner> s/thos/this
<pleia2> just hoping we can get it all streamlined so someone else can take over :)
<akgraner> nods - so other people this will kill one person
<akgraner> johnc4510, needs to be sainted
<pleia2> akgraner: do you have some time later today for a call? I'd like to go through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/EditingPolicies/HowToEdit to see what we can move, remove, etc
<akgraner> yep
<akgraner> when's a good time for you?
 * pleia2 thinks 4-6 can be removed, 7&8 moved down, other sections updated..
<pleia2> how's 1PM?
<pleia2> your time
<akgraner> yep that works
<MrChrisDruif> Ow, btw akgraner, sorry I mailed to your mailbox about the meeting. It got solved with help from pleia2 if I remember correct :)
<MrChrisDruif> And cjohnston
<akgraner> no worries :-)
<akgraner> it's all good
<akgraner> it will all sort it's self out
<akgraner> we are in a bit of a flux now  - with the re-launch and all but we'll get it worked out
<MrChrisDruif> re-launch?
<pleia2> of ubuntu weekly news
<MrChrisDruif> Alright...
<MrChrisDruif> Never heard about it....is it tweeted? Then I can retweet
<pleia2> akgraner will be blogging about it soon
<akgraner> MrChrisDruif, blog post today about it all - :-)
<MrChrisDruif> Alright, from where?
<akgraner> You'll see it on the planet from my blog then we'll add it to the fridge
<akgraner> oh my blog = akgraner.com
<pleia2> akgraner: ok, I tossed this draft together for a jobs page (we can rename it, and will need to be edited once we comb through the editing doc)
<pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Tasks
<pleia2> but it's a basic outline for now
<akgraner> thanks
<akgraner> looks great
<akgraner> pleia2, at some point should you all decided we can make the tasks match "industry" standard job descriptions but that can happen later
<pleia2> akgraner: yeah, I have no idea what those would be :)
<akgraner> pleia2, I have a list but that's something to worry about much later :-)
<pleia2> too busy to do it now? seems silly not to apply the terms from the beginning
<pleia2> akgraner: ok, 1PM was optimistic :) I'll touch base with you when I have time for a call
 * pleia2 busy at work
<akgraner> no worries
<pleia2> looks like you have a call with jono anyway :)
<pleia2> we'll catch up
<akgraner> pleia2, yeah - we'll catch up - need to put my leg up now for a few anyway - I'll ping you in a few
<pleia2> akgraner: ok :)
#ubuntu-news 2011-05-19
<pleia2> akgraner: have some time today?
#ubuntu-news 2011-05-20
<nhandler> FYI, in another week, I'll have a lot more time for the news team.
<akgraner> nhandler, great!
<pleia2> nhandler: still no luck with Interviews updates on the fridge
<MrChrisDruif> Interviews updates?
<pleia2> nhandler runs a script to automatically update the fridge when a new interview is posted to the interviews wiki
<MrChrisDruif> We've got an interviews wiki?
<pleia2> wiki.ubuntu.com/Interviews
<MrChrisDruif> By chance I noticed a not working link ;)
<MrChrisDruif> I'll update it in a minute
<MrChrisDruif> It's the link from omg interviewing Elizabeth
<MrChrisDruif> Ow....yeah...that's you :D
<MrChrisDruif> pleia2; A lot of the older links are broken -_-,
<pleia2> MrChrisDruif: yeah, that's just how the internet is :\ not much we can do about it
<MrChrisDruif> Hehe, behindubuntu.org is off the air it seems
<pleia2> the interviews are cross-posted on fridge anyway, we just use that list to scrape from to get them on the fridge
<MrChrisDruif> Alright...so the interviews can also be found on wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge or something?
<pleia2> fridge is the ubuntu news site, fridge.ubuntu.com
 * MrChrisDruif thought till this day that the Fridge only was for keeping track of the agenda for #ubuntu-meeting...>_<
<nhandler> pleia2: Could I possibly put the script on dagobah?
<pleia2> nhandler: sure
<nhandler> Also, for anyone who might care, I created a new fridge account. Login info went to editor.ubuntu.news@u.c. I plan to use this account for the interview script
<nhandler> akgraner: It also appears that we are unable to perform certain plugin updaes ourself (they can't remove the old plugin)
<nhandler> pleia2: I put it on dagobah in my home directory. But it will need WordPress::XMLRPC, utf8, and Text::Unidecode
<pleia2> utf8, the locale?
<pleia2> installed WordPress::XMLRPC and Text::Unidecode anyway
<pleia2> need to run out for a few, bbiab
<nhandler> pleia2: Looks like those other things ship with Perl. The script works. Thanks.
<nhandler> pleia2: I also made another attempt to get the Interview category to be applied
#ubuntu-news 2011-05-22
<NRWlion> morning!
<pleia2> g'day NRWlion
<NRWlion> pleia2: hi. i got an advice from Jono Bacon to come here
<NRWlion> he introduced me to akgraner but as i had no response from her till now i did a little digging myself to find intel
<pleia2> ok, interested in helping with news stuff or have some news to submit?
<pleia2> she dislocated her knee on her way home from UDS, it's been a rough week for her
<NRWlion> pleia2: i have worked as Real Life Journalist for 5 years
<pleia2> cool
<NRWlion> having experience in co-ordinating work in a newspaper, writing and lay-out
<pleia2> great, we're currently working on relaunching the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter (shooting for first week in June)
<NRWlion> cool
<pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter has details of the project, but we're in the middle of rewriting some of it so we can make it easier on volunteers
<NRWlion> coming from UBT after leaving from a very uncool event regarding my person (without my fault!) i asked Jono to advise me for other teams
<pleia2> sorry to hear that, hopefully we can find a place for you here :)
<NRWlion> well i can be honest (no need to hide as i didnt do anything wrong)
<pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/EditingPolicies/HowToEdit has the super detailed description of everything we do to release an issue
<NRWlion> there has been an accussation against me working for nokia spying on AI-Technology
<pleia2> yikes, well you're welcome to start fresh here
<pleia2> argh, a mosquito is trying to eat me for breakfast
<NRWlion> pleia2: this was so nasty because the accusing individual straight went public instead of coming to me and give me a chance to defend myself
<pleia2> NRWlion: sorry to hear that
<NRWlion> pleia2: is akgraner still in charge here? because jono sent her a mail 40 hrs ago and got no response
<pleia2> NRWlion: yes, but as I mentioned above she was injured on her way home from UDS so she's been unavailable a lot this week
<pleia2> doctors visits, etc
<NRWlion> oh ok, didnt get that
<NRWlion> :(
<pleia2> I can help you with questions though, we're a whole team :)
<NRWlion> is there any proceeding i need to step on?
<NRWlion> or just hang around here?
<pleia2> hang around here, subscribe to https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-news-team
<pleia2> we discuss all the planning here so as soon as we have a task we talk about it here
<NRWlion> ok, is there anything you might wanna know from me?
<NRWlion> :D
<NRWlion> cause i have no questions atm
<pleia2> not really, everyone just pitches in as they can :)
<pleia2> we're usually quite busy here, but you're joining as we're rewriting our docs so we're sorta in a reorganizing place right now
<pleia2> things will pick up as the weeks progress
<NRWlion> ok, subscription is pending
<NRWlion> subscription done
<NRWlion> ;)
<NRWlion> so i am ready, arent I?
<pleia2> yep, just hang out here and you'll see how things work here
<NRWlion> kk
<NRWlion> is there any specific team structure ?
<pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Tasks is our work in progress "jobs" list, but as I said we're currently rewriting a lot so it's being changed as we speak
<NRWlion> pleia2: whats your job if i may ask?
<pleia2> we rotate all the tasks
<pleia2> so all of the key members of the team have pitched in everywhere
<pleia2> these "jobs" are a new thing, it used to be just one huge checklist that an editor would go through and manually do themselves or find volunteers for, we're trying to make it easier for volunteers to pick things they want to do themselves
<NRWlion> ok, how to become a "key" member?
<pleia2> we don't really have a formal team structure, everyone just contributes, if you contribute a lot you get more responsibilities
<NRWlion> ok that was what i wanted to know :)
<NRWlion> but i will not be able to attend the meetings at 23.00 utc :D that i 1 am at my place ;) and i need to get up at 5 am again on friday
<NRWlion> :D
<pleia2> we'll probably revisit meeting times, when we do we'll send a mail to the list asking people to tell us when is best for them
<pleia2> can't always accomodate everyone though, we are all on different time zones (23:00 is 4PM my time, I'm at work during it)
<pleia2> like most teams meeting items can always be discussed after meetings though, it's just an attempt to get a few of us together to discuss some things
<NRWlion> ok
<NRWlion> when is main activity here?
<NRWlion> means from wihich time zone are the most contributors here?
<pleia2> europe and us
<NRWlion> cool.
<NRWlion> << Europe too
<pleia2> but as I mentioned, things are quiet now since we're rewriting a lot
<pleia2> things will pick up again when we're back to publishing
 * pleia2 is usually not awake now :) but is currently traveling
<NRWlion> yeah i calculated your time should be around 7 and 8 am now at your place, right?
<pleia2> it's 4:20AM back home, 7:20 where I am now
<NRWlion> may i ask where you go now?
<pleia2> I'm in florida visiting family
<pleia2> usually am in california
<pleia2> everyone is still sleeping :) I got up early to enjoy the sunrise and beach
 * NRWlion watches the old Baywatch Series from Malibu California :D
<pleia2> hah, I live in northern california, too cold for beaches there
<pleia2> (we have beaches in northern california, but people don't swim, too cold)
 * NRWlion lives in a city with no beaches
<NRWlion> just flat next to flat
<pleia2> btw all, renamed /Tasks to /Jobs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Jobs
<NRWlion> g2g. lunch is waiting
<NRWlion> cu
<pleia2> enjoy
<NRWlion> back
<NRWlion> hey there
<NRWlion> good evening from Germany
<NRWlion> hi nizarus
<nizarus> hi NRWlion
<NRWlion> nizarus: how are things?
<nizarus> NRWlion, fine thx, i think we are not in the right place to chat, join me in #ubuntu-tn
#ubuntu-news 2012-05-14
<pleia2> still need blogosphere summaries written if anyone is around
<dholbach> good morning
<Unit193> Howdy.
<JoseeAntonioR> Hi, guys!
<JoseeAntonioR> dholbach: how was your flight?
<dholbach> JoseeAntonioR, great - how was yours?
<JoseeAntonioR> dholbach: a little bit uncomfortable, but good
<JoseeAntonioR> dholbach: I couldn't say goodbye on friday :(
 * dholbach hugs JoseeAntonioR
<dholbach> it was great to meet you :)
<JoseeAntonioR> same over here
<dholbach> :-)
<JoseeAntonioR> dholbach: I'll get more pisco for you next uds
<dholbach> JoseeAntonioR, at this UDS I think I had more than enough :-P
<JoseeAntonioR> dholbach: then it'll be the same
<JoseeAntonioR> dholbach: let me tell you, I miss UDS
<dholbach> I had a great time too :)
<pleia2> ok, I bulled-pointed the blogosphere and other news sections, anyone around to edit?
<Unit193> Ran both checkers, only one picked up a false positive.
<Unit193> I recommend changing the OpenStack link directly to http://www.openstack.org/
<pleia2> thanks, it shouldn't be a link at all, just auto-linked because of CamelCase
<Unit193> Got it.
<Unit193> Makes sense if you don't know/remember what it is though. :P
<pleia2> :)
<pleia2> yay, mrudge is doing editorial review \o/ I'll publish after work (3 hours from now)
<silverlion> hi there!
#ubuntu-news 2012-05-15
 * pleia2 gets to publishing
<pleia2> The new edition of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue265
<Unit193> Checked again, just https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lucid-changes/2012-May/012873.htm
<pleia2> ah, lost an
<pleia2> "l"
<JoseeAntonioR> pleia2: I'm so sorry for not getting translated editions on time :( I will try to translate them anyway, so they can be in the archive
<pleia2> JoseeAntonioR: no worries, it's a miracle we got it released at all with UDS :)
<JoseeAntonioR> :P
<pleia2> I had another volunteer collecting links all week, and I just bullet-pointed a bunch of articles
<JoseeAntonioR> yep, I saw that
<JoseeAntonioR> I think these weeks are being pretty busy+tiring
<pleia2> sure are!
<JoseeAntonioR> if there is anything I can help with in the meantime, just let me know
<JoseeAntonioR> I think I'll translate the newsletter while flying, as soon as I get to Peru they'll get posted :)
<pleia2> have fun visiting family?
<bkerensa> akgraner: are you around?
<pleia2> bkerensa: hope that link got you sorted, took me like 10 minutes to find it (I knew it existed, ah wikis :))
 * pleia2 wiki archaeologist
<bkerensa> pleia2: yeah :) now if I can just get akgraner to answer some formatting questions
<bkerensa> :P
<bkerensa> otherwise I will have to blindly send off this article to Rikki and wish for the best :P
<pleia2> it's sleepytime in akgraner land!
<bkerensa> ahh
<bkerensa> >.<
<bkerensa> ok then :)
<pleia2> (I haven't talked to her, but it is 1:30AM :))
<bkerensa> I guess it is the job of an editor to "edit stuff" :)
<pleia2> I'm sure they'll help you out with it being one of your (or the?) first articles
<bkerensa> my first article for Ubuntu User yeah
<bkerensa> they have some interesting formatting styles though
<bkerensa> like @V:
<bkerensa> ^ no idea
<pleia2> ah
<dholbach> good morning
<JoseeAntonioR> Hi, dholbach!
<dholbach> hola JoseeAntonioR
<JoseeAntonioR> how's it going?
<dholbach> good good - how about you?
<JoseeAntonioR> pretty tired, about to go to sleep
<dholbach> then sleep tight :)
<akgraner> bkerensa, you around now?
<silverlion> evening here as well
#ubuntu-news 2012-05-17
<pleia2> AlanBell: shall I x-post the IRCC call to fridge like we've done in the past? (I assume you'll put it on the blog so I won't x-post to planet)
<Unit193> http://ubottu.com/ircc/ Didn't, think he should though.
<pleia2> ah, good
<AlanBell> literally just hit the submit button on the blog post
<AlanBell> but yes, putting it on the fridge too would be great
<Unit193> Hah, figures...

 * silverlion waves
<silverlion> hi there
<silverlion> pleia2: ping ;)
<silverlion> hey nlsthzn
<nlsthzn> Hello silverlion
<silverlion> nlsthzn: how is your weekend starting?
<nlsthzn> Mine is ending... starting work tomorrow...
<nlsthzn> but it has been good for now
<silverlion> nlsthzn: so do I
<nlsthzn> such is life :)
<MrChrisDruif> So we all have a free day?
<MrChrisDruif> I have to work tomorrow as well...
<silverlion> MrChrisDruif: is supposed to do gardening this afternoon
<MrChrisDruif> I planned to do the laundry today...
<MrChrisDruif> I don't even know when my next free day will be =(
<silverlion> but after sports tonight code-work waits for me that will keep me up nearly all night :(
<MrChrisDruif> Just my "rant" about UDS-Q recordings: https://plus.google.com/106033033450183217180/posts/3cqj3mNJXpU
<silverlion> MrChrisDruif: +1 for your link ;)
<MrChrisDruif> Thanks, maybe it could be included in the next UWN? pleia2 ^
<MrChrisDruif> Ow.. and akgraner ^
<MrChrisDruif> Probably not "official" or "bloggy" enough, but I'd like to get some awareness for these subjects, because it's been awful for years now
<silverlion> MrChrisDruif: send it to letters@fullcirclemagazine.org
<silverlion> ;)
<akgraner> MrChrisDruif, it's fine there- did you check our blip.tv link for the html5 issue - the sound and camera angles have always been issues - for a host of reasons.
<MrChrisDruif> Yeah popey also commented on that on the post itself
<akgraner> I think it's worth discussing and mentioning - what might be better is to see if we can get comment from Sean in IS about the logistical issues etc and include your points and why things are the way they are right now, then combine all that into one balanced post to see if there are solutions to the bigger logistical issues - but that's just my thoughts
<MrChrisDruif> akgraner; but if I might add that youtube is vastly more popular and if possible we should support it, right? I don't know what blip.tv requires for html5 vids, but the vids didn't loads with me on youtube
<MrChrisDruif> Sean in IS? Who is he and what is IS?
<akgraner> did you go to blip.tv to see them yet? A lot of people don't know about the blip channel I don't think
<silverlion> akgraner: hi amber ^^
 * silverlion hates gardening :(
<MrChrisDruif> Yeah, I checked it out
<akgraner> silverlion, hi
<akgraner> MrChrisDruif, IT/IS (Information Technology/Information Security) Sean is one of the guys who helps set everything up and keeps it running at UDS - not sure if he is back in the office or not - I'll drop him an email and CC you on it. :-)
<MrChrisDruif> Thanks Amber ^_^
<akgraner> no worries - email sent
<MrChrisDruif> akgraner; you've still got my old address ^_^
<akgraner> can you give me the new one - I'll add it to the thread
<akgraner> sorry about that
<MrChrisDruif> chrisdruif@ubuntu.com
<MrChrisDruif> ^_^
<MrChrisDruif> Alright, I just logged into blip.tv but apparently I can't subscribe to ubuntudevelopers...
<MrChrisDruif> So +1 for youtube still
<pleia2> akgraner: thanks for passing that along to sean (certainly more appropriate and effective!)
<akgraner> pleia2, you're welcome
<MrChrisDruif> Good $TimeOFDay everyone
<silverlion> good evening
#ubuntu-news 2012-05-19
 * s-lion sets a fresh brewed can of coffee in the middle of the room
<pleia2> email sent off to summary writers
<Unit193> Geez, need to have UWN/current symlink to the current, and UWN/WIP to dev one. :P
<pleia2> summaries are always written in the google doc anyway, the WIP one isn't populated until sunday
<silverlion> good evening every 1
<JoseeAntonioR> akgraner: ping ping, novacut has already released a Mark interview in their channel, I think we should move it to ubuntudevelopers
<silverlion> JoseeAntonioR:
<JoseeAntonioR> silverlion: hi!
<silverlion> JoseeAntonioR: sup my friend? how was uds?
<JoseeAntonioR> silverlion: UDS is a great experience, it's much much different when you're there
<JoseeAntonioR> I absolutely loved it
<silverlion> JoseeAntonioR: i am no developer ^^
<silverlion> i am editor ^^
<JoseeAntonioR> silverlion: me neither :)
<silverlion> JoseeAntonioR: i am totally busy with my work over at #fullcirclemagazine ;)
<JoseeAntonioR> silverlion: and I am with school, I have lots of exams this week
<silverlion> JoseeAntonioR: crossing fingers for you :D
<JoseeAntonioR> silverlion: thanks!
#ubuntu-news 2012-05-20
<akgraner> JoseeAntonioR, they have access to post it there
<pleia2> moved over completed summaries, but we still need the blogosphere ones
<pleia2> I'd really rather not have to bullet-point them again
<MrChrisDruif> Oh, I didn't update Lubuntu's meeting link
<pleia2> I haven't moved those over yet, so there is still time!
<pleia2> any other flavors meetings?
<MrChrisDruif> I saw a ping for Xubuntu meeting time? So no meeting yet?
<pleia2> no meeting yet
<MrChrisDruif> I can't think of any other flavors having meetings
<pleia2> ok, thanks :)
<MrChrisDruif> And I'll take a quick look at those blogosphere ones right after updating that Lubuntu link
<MrChrisDruif> ...if I can check the link...<_<"
<MrChrisDruif> Did you know the Lubuntu team had a meltdown?
<pleia2> I heard about the resignations
<pleia2> it's early in the cycle and they still have a lot of contributors, they should be ok :)
<MrChrisDruif> I'll keep my eye on them (even thou I was one of the resignations)
 * silverlion is one of them too
<MrChrisDruif> silverlion; you resigned LONG TIME ago if I remember correct?
<silverlion> MrChrisDruif: to be correct i steped down from team-leadership the time you mention but i still was a consultant behind the scenes for phillw
<MrChrisDruif> Ah, k
<MrChrisDruif> My bad >_<
<passstab> why did you resign?
<silverlion> re
<silverlion> passstab: well that is internal stuff << to answer the question from before my disconnect
<MrChrisDruif> silverlion; passstab wants to know why you resigned ^_^
<silverlion> MrChrisDruif: i answered him one line above :p
<MrChrisDruif> Yeah, just 2 secs before ;-)
<silverlion> great... i like people not responding to what i write
<pleia2> this isn't really the place for lubuntu discussion anyway ;)
<silverlion> pleia2: you are right ^^ but i answered a question ;)
<pleia2> ok, I finished up the summaries ;)
<MrChrisDruif> Wooh O_O
<pleia2> ok, ready for editorial review: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue266
#ubuntu-news 2013-05-13
<dholbach> good morning
<pleia2> got some complaints from editors that they weren't being emailed, akgraner & JoseeAntonioR - can you confirm you have access to the editors-to-email doc? if not, I can reshare
<pleia2> oh, and I'm back :)
<pleia2> (getting caught up on work today though, won't be back in news loop until issue 317)
<JoseeAntonioR> pleia2: hey! last issue we had to run and do it ourselves, but I'm working on moving articles and emaling them now
<JoseeAntonioR> btw, my ISP is giving me a hard time :(
<pleia2> JoseeAntonioR: thanks :)

<pleia2> there's a pcworld article and the ubuntu uk podcast that need summaries (uk podcast writes a blog post about their thing, no need to listen, just write something short based on that)
<skellat> pleia2: UUPC done.
<pleia2> thank you, feel free to review the summary written for your blog post too :)
<skellat> pleia2: I'm cool with it
<pleia2> great
<skellat> Now I gotta quit stalling and starting scripting out the first Burning Circle in 2 weeks
<pleia2> woohoo :)

 * pleia2 gets in some editorial review
<pleia2> thoughts on this article? http://indiaeducationdiary.in/Shownews.asp?newsid=29204
<pleia2> it's not a great piece and I kind of wonder about its origin, but it's not /bad/
<jose> pleia2: checking...
<jose> not sure if it's an 'authentic' article
<pleia2> yeah
<pleia2> and it looks pretty patched together
<jose> this time it's a -1 on my side for that article

<silverlion> hi there

<jose> sorry for the delay, been out all day
<jose> The new edition of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue367
<PaulW2U> Just for the record removed link to https://01.org/linuxgraphics/ from the working document. Clearly not Canonical news or current news as far as I can see!
<jose> PaulW2U: thank you!
#ubuntu-news 2014-05-15
<jose> pleia2: I can make sure to set up mtg-2 and announce it on the fridge, maybe?
<pleia2> jose: already on setting it up, want to update the TB calendar entry?

<pleia2> thanks :)
<silverlion> hey there
<PaulW2U> hi silverlion
<silverlion> hey PaulW2U i was wondering if the ubuntu news team could assist the lubuntu comms team by spreading the word of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Marketing/Lenny ?
 * PaulW2U looking
<PaulW2U> does that appear on a current blog anywhere or as an announcement on a mailing list? that's what would generally be included in the newsletter
<silverlion> not yet
<silverlion> but we can make this happen
<silverlion> what is more appreciated? blog or mailing list?
<PaulW2U> it doesn't matter as long as we can link to the story/announcement - blog or mailing list archive
<silverlion> PaulW2U: we are working on a final announcement mail as we speak ;)
<PaulW2U> ok, so post in here or send an email to ubuntu-news-team@lists.ubuntu.com stating where the announcement can be found
<silverlion> PaulW2U: great. will do
#ubuntu-news 2014-05-16
<DiegoTc> hi pleia2, I send you an email for adding me to the editor list. Wondering if you receive it
<pleia2> DiegoTc: jose replied to you and asked what email address to add to the weekly list, can you reply to him?
<pleia2> once you reply, we can add you :)
<DiegoTc> pleia2: I have no reply
<DiegoTc> isn't in spam
<pleia2> DiegoTc: did you get a reply from Paul?
<pleia2> anyway, what email address do you want us to use? we can add you to the weekly summary writers list, we email everyone on Saturday
<pleia2> DiegoTc ^^
<DiegoTc> thanks pleia2 I send it via PM
<pleia2> alright, all sorted
<PaulW2U> DiegoTc: I think we'll *really* need you this weekend. A busy news week with lots of summaries to write!
<pleia2> I'll ask around this weekend for help too, need to wake more folks up before we burn out poor PaulW2U
<PaulW2U> I don't know. Find links. Write summaries. Proof read my own work!    :o)
<DiegoTc> haha
<DiegoTc> pleia2, PaulW2U I will do my best. english is not my native language. But I will to my best
<PaulW2U> DiegoTc: a phrase that I like to use is "Every little helps" because it really does
<DiegoTc> :)

<tsimonq2> or...a fake, living llama? like battery powered or something? XD
<pleia2> well, I used to go to a sweat lodge pretty regularly, we once had a guest from Peru once who brought an alpaca fetus for part of a ritual he performed prior to going into the lodge

<pleia2> social media all done
<pleia2> and just finished wiki tasks
<tsimonq2> fridge posted
<pleia2> ok, all emails are out
<pleia2> we're not going to do discourse anymore, since it seems it'll be shut down
<tsimonq2> yeah
<tsimonq2> forums is taking long because I can't install apps on Unity 8 due to a bug and so I have to copy/paste from less
<tsimonq2> which, I have it now, but still
<pleia2> haha
<pleia2> let me know if you need any help
<tsimonq2> why so many empty newlines... >__<
<pleia2> the source looks ok WRT new lines
 * tsimonq2 blames less
<pleia2> want me to take care of it?
<tsimonq2> nope, I got it
<tsimonq2> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2324836&p=13490538#post13490538
<pleia2> ok, make sure to stick that thread and unstick issues 464 too
<pleia2> looks like still a fair amount of whitespace, but it's good enough
<tsimonq2> >__<
<tsimonq2> :P
<pleia2> I use gedit for copy/pasting from, but I guess that's not in ubuntu by default these days (ever?)
<tsimonq2> well I can't install it either way
<tsimonq2> Unity 8 has been torture so far
<pleia2> heh
<tsimonq2> the things that Michael say work in his blog post seem to break in my system
<tsimonq2> :P
<tsimonq2> anyways, yay, another UWN! :D
<pleia2> :D
<jose> ahoneybun: yep, I will
<ahoneybun> nice jose
<ahoneybun> pleia2 I never saw my blog post in the UWN lol

<ahoneybun> I was just making a comment lol
<tsimonq2> :)
<ahoneybun> I'll have an article for next week
<tsimonq2> awesome :)
<ahoneybun> tsimonq2 some Ubuntu Touch news :)
<sbc> lyz, Goodevening. The danish team (especially the local team from Aarhus) had a great day at the Aarhus library on April 23. We talked about Ubuntu, helped a few people install Ubuntu, and send others home with either DVDs or USB sticks. Pictures here: https://ubuntudanmark.dk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20891&p=148433#p148433 Let me know if you need further info :)
<pleia2> sbc: thanks for letting us know!
<pleia2> adding to the newsletter for next week :)
<pleia2> sbc: was this a release party, or...?
<sbc> pleia2, We called it a releaseparty, but it was target at new users. The library is very "open space" so some people just walked by, and had a chat, others showed up with their old laptops for install help.
<pleia2> wonderful, thanks
<sbc> (I'm not from Aarhus, but it is also my understanding that the Library is using Ubuntu on some (all?) of the guest computers.
<pleia2> cool
#ubuntu-news 2016-05-20
<pleia2> haven't been able to make time to add links to the doc yet this week, if anyone else is around and has things to add, please do :)
<pleia2> otherwise I'll work to make sure it's done by sundown pacific
#ubuntu-news 2016-05-21
 * pleia2 gets to adding articles
<pleia2> slow news week
<pleia2> sent off to summary writers
#ubuntu-news 2017-05-15
<jose> things going well for this week?
<tsimonq2> urghhhhhhhhhhhh /o\
<tsimonq2> jose: This right here is why pushing it back a day would be so so awesome
<tsimonq2> jose: In fact, I vote we do it for this issue.
<tsimonq2> jose: Because I don't want a 3 week issue@
<tsimonq2> jose: And it looks like the only option at this point, for the time being.
<jose> then let's publish tonight?
<tsimonq2> Well
<jose> I don't understand what the problem is.
<tsimonq2> There's a LOT of work to be done
<tsimonq2> A LOT
<jose> 'urgh' doesn't tell me anything.
<tsimonq2> We don't even have all the summaries done I don't thing.
<tsimonq2> *think
<tsimonq2> jose: "urgh" means "I forgot"
<jose> then let's work on them later, get a quick editorial review, and send it off.
<jose> we can't keep pushing things forever, and need to address issues from the root on.
<tsimonq2> I really don't have the time at all tonight /o\
<jose> then start delegating.
<jose> we can't take everything on ourselves, otherwise we'd all burn out in a few months.
<jose> I'll have it release when I get home.
<tsimonq2> I can't delegate when there's nobody around to help except me and guiverc_t... And now you're here for what I recall being the first week in a while :|
<tsimonq2> Sorry if I sound grumpy, but I'm frustrated
<tsimonq2> The problems leading up to today:
<tsimonq2>  1. Not enough people.
<tsimonq2>  2. I keep forgetting on Sundays as I'm recovering for the weekend.
<tsimonq2>  3. Besides you, I'm the only person active at the moment who can publish.
<tsimonq2> (I define "active" as contributing recently)
<jose> well, I had to deal with real life but I already told you I was back. I'll get it done later today and then we'll figure it out.
<tsimonq2> Ok.
<tsimonq2> I can send out to editors if you can publish a bit later.
<tsimonq2> Unless you want to skip editors?
<jose> I'll take care of all of it when I get home.
<tsimonq2> jose: All of it?
<jose> missing summaries, editiorial rewiev and publishing.
<tsimonq2> I'll tackle missing summaries... that'll save you some work.
<jose> as you wish.
<tsimonq2> Urgh... didn't get to it, sorry...
<jose> no worries.
#ubuntu-news 2017-05-16
<jose> guiverc_t: around?
<guiverc_t> yeah jose - screen had blanked & was using another
<jose> guiverc_t: no worries, had a quick question but sorted - thanks!
<guiverc_t> :)
<jose> about to release, need to take care of something from school, should take me 10mins
<jose> Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 507 for the week  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue507
<Unit193> jose: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-arizona/, http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ve/3549, and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/Security/20170509 are dead links.
<Unit193> (Another site didn't seem to be up right now, but meh.)
<jose> wat, I reach 20170509 a sec ago
<jose> blargh
<jose> sorry for not link checking, no-sleep brain tonight
<jose> oh fml was 08
<Unit193> Nah, 'tis fine.  I just saw a link so ran a check on it.
<jose> thank you.
<jose> should be fixed in the wiki - nothing I can do for email.
<jose> okay, 507 released. I just need to get it on twitter as soon as I find the password.
<jose> guiverc_t: do you happen to have access to twitter to post the snippet?
<jose> can't find the password and I believe it's in my other hdd (which I accidentally left at a friend's house)
<guiverc_t> post with your own twitter id; then re-tweet with official account when you have passwd maybe?
<jose> eh, I'd prefer not. if tsimonq2 has access, it'd be amazing.
<tsimonq2> jose: I have Twitter access ;)
<tsimonq2> jose: DOne
#ubuntu-news 2017-05-19
<guiverc_t> uwn:  are kernel updates news worthy ??  - i see them as bug fixes & not news
<guiverc_t> uwn: plan 4, canon 4, press 2 (+2 grouped), blogp 3(+1 grouped), vid 2
<guiverc_t> ps: i included NO articles [again?] about ubu/fed/sus on w10 - to me not ubuntu-y enough
#ubuntu-news 2017-05-21
<jose> guiverc_t: mind if I add my blog post about social media mgmt vs. community mgmt?
<guiverc> jose, you don't need my permission.
<jose> I don't, but I like for my peers in a project to have voice.
<guiverc> yep, perfectly understood & thanks jose
<tsimonq2> I'll take a look at UWN a bit later and send out to editors.
#ubuntu-news 2018-05-14
<krytarik> Tbh, since the issue 1.) is usually ready Sunday night already, and 2.) only covers the week until Saturday, I begin to wonder why we don't publish it then already too.
<Wild_Man> I know the more experienced people seem to think the M/L needs to be done tomorrow afternoon, that is what I understood but I still do not know why
<krytarik> Of course, it would become an issue if it isn't always ready then, and starts flipping between the two days.
<krytarik> Well, that includes the various mailing lists in the same way.
<krytarik> I.e. there is no technical or other reason to not publish it earlier.
<krytarik> Everybody please update their local copy of the script repo. >_>
<Unit193> SwissBot: rss watch uwn-commits https://git.launchpad.net/uwn/atom/?h=master
<SwissBot> Added RSS https://git.launchpad.net/uwn/atom/?h=master named uwn-commits
<SwissBot> okay
<krytarik> Thanks, dude.
<krytarik> guiverc: Btw, apart from that I had already drafted the UWN post on the Fridge last week, it seems the way you pasted the content into yours caused all empty lines to be dropped.
<guiverc> sorry I didn't notice (blank lines), as I recall text was sent to me via irc (privately), I copy/pasted all (from hexchat) into editor & removed :%s/<name> //'s then copy/pasted into fridge/wwp..  (i didn't notice draft - very sorry [i didn't look sorry])
<krytarik> Oh wow, that's even worse - nvm then.. :P
<tsimonq2> Nyeh: https://twitter.com/LubuntuOfficial/status/995860510653534209
<tsimonq2> https://lubuntu.me/this-week-in-lubuntu-development-5/
<tsimonq2> Can haz inclusion in the newsletter? ;)
<krytarik> Too laaaate, duuude! :P
<tsimonq2> Awww maaaaaaaan.
<tsimonq2> You seriously can't open the gates? I need to get on this flight, duuude.
<tsimonq2> >_>
<krytarik> Hahaha. :D
<krytarik> guiverc: The actual way to do (just) it is like: 1.) git clone git+ssh://git.launchpad.net/uwn; cd uwn 2.) fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl 527 3.) cat issues/527/fridge.post
-SwissBot:#ubuntu-news- ::Planet:: Lubuntu Blog: This Week in Lubuntu Development #5 @ https://lubuntu.me/this-week-in-lubuntu-development-5/

 * tsimonq2 pokes krytarik with a stick.
<krytarik> O_-
<tsimonq2> hehe
<krytarik> Try and do your posts on Saturday and you're in! :P
<tsimonq2> That's too simple. :P
<krytarik> Aww. :(
<guiverc> okay (doing laundry & house stuff), what does the script (publish-uwn-fridge) do - just load it up 'as a draft?' needing validation (checking links etc), then click publish on browser??  (this would fit my vid from simon moons ago)
<krytarik> Yes, a little validation there would be nice, because the script is rather trusty wrt HTML entities and link generation.. >_>
<krytarik> Otherwise yes, just drop what it generates into a new post.
<guiverc> thanks krytarik ((I only did up to wiki.paste & editor-email steps in past))

<krytarik> pleia2: Now that we've moved the call for summaries from individual to the team mailing list, I've copied the text used for it from the separate Google Doc to the main one (for now at least), and would like to get rid of the first that also contains the email address list used previously - since it now poses a privacy risk for no good reason anymore.
<pleia2> ok
<krytarik> pleia2: That means as the owner you'll have to do the dropping bit then. >_>
<pleia2> alright, I
<pleia2> 'll see what I can do ;)
<pleia2> done
<krytarik> Thanks.
<Wild_Man> krytarik, you ready for me to send the summary writers email out?
<krytarik> Yeah, only I've moved the mail text to the main Google Doc at least for now, and dropped the summary helpers one.
<Wild_Man> That is a lot easier in the gdoc and there is no reason for it not to be there since we do not have to worry about peoples email privacy, I sent it!
<Wild_Man> Have you hear from Bashing-om in the last two days? I am wondering how his daughter is doing
<krytarik> No, haven't spoken with him for a few days now either.

<krytarik> Wild_Man: Good job at copying the "Subject:" into the.. subject. :D
<krytarik> Eh, and it's also double spaced again for some reason.
<Wild_Man> krytarik, I tried to copy something to post here and it posted the last thing I had copied into the gdoc
<Wild_Man> Will the undo button fix that?
<Wild_Man> If what I accidentally pasted did not replace something , which I do not think it did I can simply remove it
<krytarik> Yes, undo should work.
<Wild_Man> krytarik, is does nothing from my computer
<krytarik> Well, if you reloaded the document since, it won't work indeed.
<Wild_Man> does it look like it replaced anything?
<krytarik> Yeah, just scrolled through the "new changes" - but merely the title of the post, I'll fix it.
<Wild_Man> that is what I just saw as well
<Wild_Man> I was trying to copy that title to ask you if that is what you were referring to when you said " Good job at copying the "Subject:" into the.. subject." I did not copy it, I wrote it myself but to me there is not much I can say to sum up that link
<krytarik> I was referring with both to the Call for Summaries you've just sent.

<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: ping ?
#ubuntu-news 2019-05-19
<Wild_Man> Bashing-om, hello, you pinged me
<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: Uh HUh .. Gdocs : guiverc has some queries we need to settle before the WIKI .. and also what are yalls thoughts on additionally including: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=mds-zombieload-mit&num=1 ?
<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: guiverc Away for about 15 minutes .. take care of the other half :)
<Wild_Man> Okay, I am looking at the link
<wildmanne39> Bashing-om, since an update is available for the issue, I do not think we need to include the bench mark testing Performance Impact Of MDS / Zombieload, others may think differently though
<Bashing-om> wildmanne39: Sounds good to me - guiverc Thoughts ? I am all for leavaing the Gdoc summaries as is.
<wildmanne39> I was in the middle of typing that message above and I lost internet connection for some reason Bashing-om
<Bashing-om> wildmanne39: Internet connection: I am in the midst of thunderstorms - I may cut an run with no notice :P
<wildmanne39> Bashing-om, that happens with thunderstorms here as well
<Bashing-om> wildmanne39: I hate when there is also a loss of power . that feeling that all may not be all right with the file system.
<wildmanne39> Indeed, me too
<wildmanne39> Bashing-om, have you seen a link to where the microcode cam be updated?
<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: I run AMD so not paid a lot of attention to MDS - but I did get a microcode update from our repo.
<Wild_Man> Bashing-om, that is what I was thinking that it will be pushed through the repo's
<Wild_Man> Bashing-om you pretty sure the update will come through the repos for the microcode as well as the patches Canonical is pushing out?
<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: To the best of my knowledge the patches have been pushed out. We can check the CVE releases.
<wildmanne39> Bashing-om, I think the patches have but what about the microcode from Intel
<Bashing-om> wildmanne39: I would think that Intel would push the patches to us for inclusion in the repo, no ?
<wildmanne39> Not sure I am trying to find out
<wildmanne39> Bashing-om, I am going to reboot and see if that helps my internet issue, I am the only one in the house having problems
<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: Found this: " At the time of writing, only Red Hat and Ubuntu have announced fixes in their distro."
<Wild_Man> Bashing-om, Thanks!
<Wild_Man> I hope I can stay connected now
<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: And our patching of the CVEs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/MDS.
<Wild_Man> Thanks Bashing-om
<Wild_Man> Bashing-om, I made some suggestions on the gdoc, I will finish going over it in the morning
<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: Kay - I look at then .. Keep in mind after church tomorrow I make up the WIKI.
<Wild_Man> Okay Bashing-om, I need to sleep before I continue
<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: :) Sleep is good.
<guiverc> sorry Bashing-om & Wild_Man, i had grabbed my bang-sticks & heading to the range -empty on term here (putting gear away now)
<Wild_Man> no apologies necessary guiverc we all have lives outside of here
<Wild_Man> Hope you had a good time
<Bashing-om> guiverc: Think we have settled to leave Gdoc as you have it ,, with some minor edits to my summaries.
<Bashing-om> guiverc: But what thinks : https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=mds-zombieload-mit&num=1 ?
<guiverc> i'll look in ~20 mins; locking away stuff; yep thanks Wild_Man :)
<guiverc> re: article, it's not Ubuntu specific, but I've seen a number of questions about zombieland & ubuntu on askubu so it'd be interestng to readers I suspect
<Bashing-om> guiverc: Well, we could put it too in other news and not worry over making up a summery.
<guiverc> Bashing-om, if you want a summary; I can whip one up (my generic type)..  but I wouldn't start it for another 20mins  (gotta walk my old pup, & i need the walk too)
<Bashing-om> guiverc: As it is not ubuntu specific - does not warrent a summary ??
<guiverc> sorry, walked the pup (~5hrs late)  .. yeah I like idea of other news :)
<Bashing-om> guiverc: Will do,

<guiverc> Bashing-om, read thru complete; looks good.
<Bashing-om> guiverc: Outstanding on our part :P
<guiverc> :)   (now reading a forums post listed in uwn that may have clues for something I've been ignoring..)
<Bashing-om> guiverc: We do glean some from what we do :D
<Wild_Man> Bashing-om, it looks good to me
<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: Then I declare - good to go ! :P
<Wild_Man> Okay
<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: guiverc :: Bear in mind I will be absebt next week Thursday on through the weekend.
<guiverc> Thanks for reminder. with some luck Wild_Man & I together will achieve all that you normally accomplish :)
<Wild_Man> guiverc, I think it will take both of us, I did it the first time by myself mostly but it was a very long process and difficult and I had more time then
<Wild_Man> A long time ago
<Wild_Man> I can do all the other publishing easily

<Wild_Man> Bashing-om, I have been on hold for two and a half hours with a credit card company, long wait times because of the virus if I get off the phone and no one has published to the fridge and social media I will do it
<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: Thanks - Guess there is no big rush - take care of what is importanat :P
<Wild_Man> It is ridiculous trying to get things done these days, I would do it while I am on hold but the music is playing in my ear and I might make a mistake
<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: Understand that - I have a one track mind myself :P
<Wild_Man> I use to be able to do many things at once but that was a long time ago
<Wild_Man> The hold music is driving me insane
<Bashing-om> Wild_Man: Makes one want a speaker phone :(
