[09:37] <matthewrevell> Hey guys, I've had a story in the mod queue for over a day now ... anyone around to review it?
[10:48] <jono> hey all
[10:49] <matthewrevell> hey
[10:49] <matthewrevell> Just me atm, I think
[10:49] <jono> ahhh
[10:49] <matthewrevell> You sound disappointed. I am offended. You gimp
[10:50] <jono> I am gonna need to post some content to the fridge in the future, so can I join your secret club please?
[10:50] <jono> hehe
[10:50] <matthewrevell> Hmm, I'm not sure we want your sort
[10:50] <jono> heh
[10:50] <matthewrevell> I'll have to refer it to the secret command structure
[10:50] <matthewrevell> :)
[10:50] <jono> so how do I go about joining? I looked for an LP team and found nothing I could join
[10:50] <matthewrevell> Basically, post a message to fridge-devel saying you think it'd be useful if you could be an editor
[10:50] <matthewrevell> There is an LP team.
[10:50] <matthewrevell> Hang on
[10:51] <jono> ok cool
[10:51] <matthewrevell> https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-fridge
[10:51] <matthewrevell> Right, once your message is on the list, I'll reply to it saying of course you should join, and then Robitalle will add you to the list, provided no one objects :)
[10:51] <matthewrevell> I can set you up on the CMS
[10:52] <matthewrevell> We have an informal system where the person who writes a story doesn't publish it.
[10:52] <matthewrevell> So we, go for peer-review
[10:52] <matthewrevell> That is a pain some times - e.g. I've been waiting for over a day to have a story reviewed - but has helped in the past
[10:52] <matthewrevell> Mostly it's me, sladen and nixternal who are active atm
[10:53] <jono> there is no fridge-devel on lists.ubuntu.com
[10:53] <matthewrevell> nah, it's a secret list.
[10:53] <matthewrevell> That's another debate we've been having :)
[10:53] <jono> secret list?
[10:53] <matthewrevell> pop an email to fridge-devel@lists.ubuntu.com and it will get to the list, I promise :)
[10:53] <matthewrevell> Yeah
[10:53] <matthewrevell> You have to be invited to join
[10:53] <matthewrevell> Some of us are pushing to have it opened up
[10:53] <jono> thats nuts
[10:53] <jono> seems I wasnt joking about your secret club
[10:53] <matthewrevell> as it doesn't seem very Ubuntu-ish
[10:53] <matthewrevell> It's the way it was set up
[10:54] <jono> what is the justification for it to be secret?
[10:54] <jono> there is no reason why it can't be a closed list if needed
[10:54] <matthewrevell> The other guys are split roughly 50/50 between those who really want it to be open (like me) and those who don't really mind
[10:54] <whiprush> morning guys....
[10:54] <matthewrevell> Morning whiprush
[10:54] <jono> hmmm
[10:54] <jono> so do I just send a mail there and it will get moderated?
[10:54] <matthewrevell> Nah, anyone can post
[10:54] <jono> whiprush, hey dude :)
[10:54] <jono> good work on ubucon :)
[10:54] <jono> ok cool
[10:54] <whiprush> thanks
[10:54] <matthewrevell> But that's another thing for discussion, tbh
[10:55] <whiprush> should I approve you on the launchpad team?
[10:55] <matthewrevell> It results in a lot of spam
[10:55] <matthewrevell> whiprush: Can you add jono to the ml?
[10:55] <matthewrevell> Or is Robitaille the only one with privs?
[10:55] <whiprush> nope, daniel is the ML guy iirc.
[10:55] <matthewrevell> okeydoke
[10:55] <whiprush> I can do the launchpad thing though
[10:56] <jono> ok let me join the LP team
[10:56] <jono> done
[10:57] <whiprush> .. and done.
[10:58] <matthewrevell> welcome berado
[10:58] <matthewrevell> beardo, of course
[10:58] <whiprush> you guys are killing me
[10:58] <whiprush> new season please.
[10:58] <matthewrevell> recorded on Weds :)
[10:58] <matthewrevell> Out Monday
[10:59] <whiprush> If have to go on Ted Haeger alone I am going to go fucking insane.
[10:59] <matthewrevell> :)
[11:01] <matthewrevell> whiprush: Are you able to review/approve a Fridge story?
[11:02] <whiprush> yep
[11:02] <whiprush> are you not able to?
[11:02] <jono> ok sent the mail
[11:02] <whiprush> thought I gave you carte blanche for the CMS
[11:02] <jono> whiprush, :P
[11:02] <matthewrevell> Yeah, but I wrote it, so just wanted  someone to cast their eyes over it first
[11:02] <whiprush> matthewrevell: ok, I'll check it out.
[11:02] <matthewrevell> jono: Right, now I need to think of reasons not to let you in
[11:02] <matthewrevell> whiprush: Cheers :)
[11:03] <jono> matthewrevell, damn you, you little angry bastard
[11:04] <matthewrevell> Did you know Shuttleworth was considered for the South African version of The Apprentice?
[11:04] <matthewrevell> "You're fired, in a spirit of humanity"
[11:05] <matthewrevell> etc
[11:06] <whiprush> matthewrevell: posted. I put the quote in a blockquote
[11:06] <matthewrevell> thanks
[11:06] <whiprush> because our blockquote css rocks.
[11:06] <matthewrevell> Oh, it wasn't a quote tho :)
[11:06] <matthewrevell> It maybe shouldn't have been a bullet either.
[11:07] <matthewrevell> I'll grab the actual quote and update it
[11:07] <matthewrevell> Thanks for approving that.
[11:07] <matthewrevell> I've got a load more to go in the queue :)
[11:08] <whiprush> matthewrevell: dude you guys have been rocking and rolling the fridge, I am going to buy you so many beers at the next LRL.
[11:08] <matthewrevell> :-D
[11:08] <matthewrevell> I admit that I posted the Apprentice story mostly because the bloke who actually took the role is called Tokyo Sexwale
[11:09] <whiprush> that name is comedy gold.
[11:09] <matthewrevell> :-D
[11:09] <jono> haha
[11:09] <whiprush> matthewrevell: the link to my page is wrong on the ohiolinux story, I'm going to fix it
[11:10] <matthewrevell> Ooh, that's a pain
[11:13] <whiprush> I wonder if that forbes story will make it to their print edition
[11:14] <matthewrevell> Is Forbes *the* business mag in the States?
[11:14] <whiprush> it's big one
[11:14] <whiprush> that and Fortune
[11:16] <whiprush> jono: will you be coming to the gnome summit in october?
[11:19] <jono> whiprush, unlikely, I am only holiday for part of it
[11:19] <jono> I would love to go though
[11:20] <jono> I might ask Mark when I speak to him next
[11:37] <whiprush> jono: next year then
[11:37] <jono> whiprush, yeah! :)
[11:37] <jono> whiprush, good work on the Offical Ubuntu Book btw, its kicking ass :)
[11:37] <jono> is there a fridge post about the book?
[11:38] <whiprush> there's been a few.
[11:38] <whiprush> not recently though
[11:38] <jono> incidentally, part of the reason why I am applying for fridge editorial kudos right now is that I need to post something soon to get more submissions for an update to the community chapter in the book to be shipped with edgy
[11:38] <jono> I will write up a post to give to you guys soon
[11:38] <whiprush> I met debra at linuxworld.
[11:39] <whiprush> I've got two guys chomping at the bit to do some work for her
[11:40] <matthewrevell> jono: While you're waiting for your Drupal account, send the story to the fridge-devel list.
[11:41] <jono> whiprush, :)
[11:41] <jono> matthewrevell, cool, need to get some other stuff done first, then I will :)
[11:42] <matthewrevell> jono: no rush dude :)
[11:42] <jono> :)
[11:43] <whiprush> jono: debra is great, she took me and corey (and three of our friends) to a nice fancy sushi place as thanks for working on the book. It was great.
[11:43] <whiprush> she sent me a stipend too, which was nice, I guess silbs forgot to mention that I would have done it for free, heh.
[11:47] <jono> :)
[11:47] <jono> she is awesome I love her to bits, she does a great job :)
[11:52] <matthewrevell> whiprush: would it be a pain for you to look another Fridge story?
[11:54] <whiprush> matthewrevell: rock me dude. On it.
[11:55] <matthewrevell> Cheers :)
[11:56] <whiprush> matthewrevell: linkage to some of the speakers would help
[11:57] <matthewrevell> whiprush: Fair point.
[11:57] <matthewrevell> whiprush: I'll bung some in.
[11:58] <whiprush> An ubuntu printing guy too, lets hope he never quits.
[12:11] <matthewrevell> whiprush: much linkage now :)
[12:16] <whiprush> matthewrevell: off to work, bbiab
[12:40] <sladen> morning guys.  ahhh, jono, good to see you aorund these parts
[12:40] <jono> hey sladen :)
[12:41] <jono> sladen, hows tricks pal ?
[12:41] <sladen> nice to see you doing some work for a change :P
[12:41] <jono> heh
[12:41] <jono> sladen, you know, you can go off people... :P
[12:41] <matthewrevell> sladen: hey
[12:42] <sladen> matthewrevell: is it worth expanding that Forbes one with the inaccuracies  (see http://lwn.net/Articles/198459/)
[12:42] <matthewrevell> /me check lwn
[12:42] <sladen> matthewrevell: I like the way took the Apprentice line
[12:42] <matthewrevell> Icouldn't resist Tokyo Sexwale
[12:43] <sladen> jono: 04:58 <imbrandon> sladen, when is a good time for you to hash out some podcast ideas and schedule some times to recored, i really wanna get that rockin BEFORE the edgy release
[12:44] <matthewrevell> sladen: The LWN comments don't really raise anything I hadn't noticed. I mean, the article itself (the Forbes one) isn't really that exciting, it's just The Apprentice bit that's interesting.
[12:44] <sladen> jono: do you think you could hash out something with him.
[12:44] <sladen> matthewrevell: yup indeedie
[12:44] <matthewrevell> If you think it's important, please say :)
[12:44] <jono> sladen, sure, I was thinking of doing some interviews ready for release :)
[12:46] <sladen> jono: if you get can sort interviews, I'm happy to fire up audacity and edit them
[12:46] <matthewrevell> sladen: Is this the buntudots (as was) podcast?
[12:46] <jono> sladen, whatever is easiest - I can always record and edit them here if needed, I can record phone calls here y'see :)
[12:46] <sladen> jono: edit as in, remove the 'buts', 'umms', pauses... I would like a really quality result
[12:46] <jono> yeah :)
[12:46] <sladen> jono: even if that means cutting a 20 minute interview down to 5
[12:47] <jono> :)
[01:41] <imbrandon> moins fellas
[01:54] <jono> imbrandon, hey :)
