[02:26] Of course :) [02:27] shall we chat quickly about a script? [02:27] Sure. : ) [02:27] here is what I envision [02:27] your script parses the emails and then dumps the result out to be pasted into the wiki page [02:27] after that they are hand sorted as needed] [02:28] but here is the challenge with the script: it has to parse the body of the email, not just the subject line === theCore [n=alex@ubuntu/member/theCore] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [02:29] Hmm... [02:29] however, parsing isnt so bad [02:30] you need to search for any number of numbers, followed a - and then a 1 [02:30] So you only want new upstream releases, right? [02:30] yes === poningru [n=poningru@pool-72-64-197-83.tampfl.fios.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [02:34] Want it divided by repository? [02:34] nope [02:34] Section? [02:34] nope [02:34] that is done after [02:35] I mean repository section (ie. Science, Graphics, Gnome, etc.) [02:35] That way people can pick packages to talk about that they know something about (or help them to do that) === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [02:36] I mean repository section (ie. Science, Graphics, Gnome, etc.) [02:36] That way people can pick packages to talk about that they know something about (or help them to do that) [02:36] And we could also sort feisty changes by repository section [02:37] We kind of do already [02:38] yep [02:38] we could do that, see how it works === somerville32 nods. [02:38] So I'll get it to output in Wiki format [02:38] ie. [02:38] === Science === [02:38] by on [02:39] yep, that works [02:39] Burgundavia: was the gmail account created? [02:39] poningru: nope, going to try this instead [02:40] I can get it to try and pull an html link to put with it from the package description if you'd like [02:40] Most packages have a link in their long description [02:41] that would be good [02:41] what are we trying? [02:41] Magic [02:42] : ) [02:42] poningru: what timezone are you? [02:43] NA [02:43] EST [02:43] somerville32: what kind of timeframe are we looking at? can you test your stuff on 25? [02:43] 25th of December? [02:43] Oh [02:43] UWN 25 [02:43] ie: do I need to sort through my UWN queue to get 25 out? [02:44] tbh, I am little bit burnt out right now, mostly from work [02:44] poningru: which state? [02:47] florida [02:47] ah === Rinchen [n=Rinchen@ubuntu/member/rinchen] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [02:47] I go to uni of florida silly ;) [02:47] oh right, that [02:47] ufl ftw :p [02:48] Burgundavia: I would say no since we should get UWN 25 out ASAP and I most likely won't have it finished and tested tonight (I got the flu) [02:48] ah right [02:48] ok [02:54] somerville32: dude can you show me some of that magic? [02:55] poningru, lol, once I finish "casting" it, sure ;] [02:57] Burgundavia, Are you going to do Mark's letter and the Kurdish follow up? [02:57] ugh [02:57] we can the latter [02:57] somebody else can write the former :) === somerville32 knows very little about both. === Madpilot [n=brian@ubuntu/member/madpilot] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [02:59] somerville32: make sure your wand movements are good [02:59] and enunciate the spell [02:59] ;) [03:00] poningru, This is so going to be a hack job ;] === somerville32 grins. [03:02] Welp, I need to go to bed. === somerville32 goes to find a corner to die in. === somerville32 hates having the flu. [03:04] Burgundavia, i'll have a crack soon [03:04] ... [03:04] Burgundavia, I doubt I'm going to be going anywhere tomorrow with this flu so I'll code the script tomorrow and write the Mark's letter thinger. [03:12] sounds good [03:12] marks letter, we looking at 25 or 26? [03:12] 25 [03:12] We promised it in 25 [03:13] Alrighty deferred from 24 [03:13] *Already [03:13] better find some way to do it [03:14] tonyyarusso, I'm doing it tomorrow [03:14] We should also add a content freeze on 25 so that new content goes to 26 [03:14] right [03:15] I think I probably want to hand off the chief editor position at this point [03:19] I just need to find a good sucker [03:23] lol === elkbuntu hides [03:25] I was actually thinking somerville32 === somerville32 ponders. [03:27] Good be good [03:27] Alrighty, I'll do it. :] [03:27] Certainly not me - I'd get eaten alive :( [03:27] Hurrah for somerville32 ! [03:28] the king is dead, long live the king [03:28] lol [03:29] Gah, I don't even remember which issue is which anymore. [03:29] ok, I have a list for the feisty changes [03:29] 25 [03:29] shall I dump it into gobby and we can start work? [03:29] Do I still owe my beats for this issue, or are they done? [03:29] tonyyarusso, They are done but feel free to start on 26 [03:29] somerville32: Which releases when? [03:30] already done [03:30] 26 should release ASAP as well [03:30] Hmm, okay. [03:30] (ie. the 20th) [03:30] I am slowly trying to ween myself off of the "I need to do everything" mentality I sometimes get into [03:31] Burgundavia, I know what you mean ;] [03:31] because that is only going to burn me out [03:31] That I can do. The 19th is my last exam, so I can throw some things on as a break from packing. [03:31] Ok, lets try and get UWN 24 out tonight - I think we can do it. [03:31] If not tonight, for tomorrow for sure [03:32] you mean 25 [03:32] right :] === Madpilot [n=brian@ubuntu/member/madpilot] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [03:33] elkbuntu, Can you do the Turkish follow up? [03:33] somerville32, yeah [03:35] elkbuntu: there is a utah-ecuador link to be written about as well [03:35] Burgundavia, yeah [03:38] tonyyarusso, Can you help out with Feisty changes? [03:38] somerville32: Okay, what's it need? I haven't really been paying attention to how they're done lately. [03:39] Burgundavia, Can you throw it up on Gobby? [03:39] tonyyarusso, There are inline comments [03:39] somerville32: 25 is already up [03:39] tonyyarusso, Do you know how to connect with gobby? [03:39] somerville32: yep [03:39] be right there [03:40] Ok [03:40] I'll brt there in a sec too === Sg| [i=Sg_@74.92.218.113] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Sg| is now known as MitchM [03:43] MitchM: Want to help with UWN 25? [03:43] hey elkbuntu -- my 64.187.64.115 server is down. I do not know the cause; but am trying to contact my BW provider to see what the problem is. [03:43] k [03:43] somerville32: Sure. [03:43] somerville32: How can I help? [03:44] there are a few things up [03:44] the largest is the feisty changes [03:44] MitchM: There are three sections we're finishing up. Mark's Letter, Kurdish incident, and Feisty Changes. [03:44] also quick stories about the devel list split, herd 1 and a call for installer develoeprs [03:46] Well I would help where needed. I however; not producing much type-written stuff in a while may prove to be too behind-the-times to be of much help. [03:47] If you guys have a specific article you want me to write I will try and get on top of it [03:48] MitchM: You could help out with Feisty changes. [03:49] MitchM, fyi I sent you an email this morning. Might check your junk mailbo [03:49] x [03:50] hm k :) [03:50] Rinchen -- dont see a single thing. [03:50] Send again> [03:50] ? [03:50] mitch (at) kci.net [03:50] yep [03:50] MitchM: if that feels too much like diving into the deep end, you can write a few lines about the herd 1 release and the devel mailing list split [03:52] MitchM, resent [03:52] Rinchen: k [03:52] Burgundavia: When are the writings due? and does someone of "editorial" stance look over the submissions? [03:52] MitchM: due right now [03:53] eidtorial stance? in what sense? [03:54] proof-reading [03:54] Rinchen: Got the e-mail [03:54] ah, right [03:54] thanks. Figured I wasn't whitelisted still :-) [03:54] our policy, as chief-editor-emeritus, is for you to start writing and we will work with you if you style needs tweaking [03:54] Burgundavia, is there a gobby session id I could join to help? [03:55] gobby is up [03:55] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/EditingPolicies [03:55] somerville32: I'm on the phone, btw. Will start working when done with that. [03:56] Rinchen: I will have to fix ubuntu-rocks.org tomorrow. All my lovely ssh passwords/encrypted text lies on my 64.187.64.115 server. [03:57] Which is not talking to the world right now :) [03:57] anyway, I need to run to get dinner [03:57] back in about 30 minutes [03:57] MitchM, no worries. MDKE found it today and it's low priority. [03:58] Rinchen: K :) [03:59] Burgundavia: I believe I will have to pass up the opportunity to help tonight. I would really enjoy writing articles for the UWN if the opportunity arises again. [03:59] we are going to be here for a while [03:59] Gah [03:59] I can't login to the gobby session [03:59] ufl_ftw! right? [04:00] Burgundavia: At the moment though I think I have to get back to bed -- First day snowboarding yesterday; and I've slept 14 hours and still dont feel any better. [04:00] somerville32: @, not _ [04:01] Ah, yeah, sorry :] [04:01] RinchenL white-listed, take care :) [04:02] Mark posted an entire e-mail in UWN25? lol [04:03] nah, I did that [04:03] probably rip that out and put it on the help wiki [04:13] "Sony gets Ubuntu running a PS3" <-- So thats what the Developers are wasting their time with ;] [04:15] For the Mark's letter thing, maybe the best option would be to summarize what happens and then just provide those links? [04:16] That way people can get informed and we can stay unbiased [04:25] Did we ever report on the Novell + Microsoft dela? [04:25] *deal === somerville32 can't remember. [04:27] I don't think we really needed too - enough was said already [04:29] yep, that probably works [04:29] a few sentences on what happened and then the link [04:29] s === Rinchen agrees. === tonyyarusso reaquaints himself with the universe, since he's clearly off-kilter === zenrox [n=zenrox@pool-71-115-219-183.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [04:42] also quick stories about the devel list split, herd 1 and a call for installer develoeprs <-- Did they happen during UWN25 or UWN26? [04:43] 25, because they happening during that timeframe [04:43] k [04:44] I didn't see any loco stories this week. Mel, did you get any? [04:44] eating dinner, write in a sec [04:55] tonyyarusso, How is it coming? [04:55] somerville32: not much yet [04:55] I'll get more productive as the night wears on [04:55] Alrighty [04:55] especially now that I realized we were talking about the next issue [04:56] Rinchen, when various latin americans stop talking to me, i might get around to using gobby [04:56] I think it would most likely best for me to get to bed [04:56] tonyyarusso: We're talking about UWN 25 right now [04:56] somerville32: I'm so confused....speak to me slowly [04:56] tonyyarusso, kk :) === tonyyarusso blames the solar flare [04:57] Tonight we're going to (try) and do the Fesity Changes section and the Kurdish section in UWN 25 and then release it [04:57] elkbuntu, lol [04:57] Rinchen, its hardly funny, i speak precisely 0 spanish : [04:57] Then, starting tomorrow, we'll get UWN 26 finished and released on the 20th [04:58] que? :-) [04:58] o.O [04:59] i still havent memorised that one [04:59] i can say gracias, that's about all [04:59] or even, muchos gracias [05:00] hehe I wonder, are we both working on the team south of the USA? [05:01] Rinchen, the venezuela and dominican republic teams are currently sapping my knowledge and time [05:01] elkbuntu: sparklehistory on Freenode speaks high school level Spanish. [05:02] elkbuntu, yep, same teams. see loco team chan [05:02] tonyyarusso, hehehe there's many bilingual people on freenode, i just fail to be one of them [05:02] elkbuntu: That's what "connections" are for ;) [05:03] tonyyarusso, the problem is not lack of understanding, as they are able to speak english, it's more that i keep throwing in things like 'bbs' and confusing the crap out of them [05:03] hence needing to be verbose with everything and repeat alot [05:03] elkbuntu: aaaah [05:03] elkbuntu, lol...you? talk a lot? lol === Rinchen going to get slapped for that one. [05:04] lol [05:04] nah, i'll find a less violent way to seek vengence [05:06] or at least more sneaky [05:06] indeed [05:07] which basically means, i cant be bothered : [05:11] JOEY!!! [05:12] Hiya Richie [05:12] we're talking shop over on locoteams [05:13] come join the fun! === elkbuntu points to this as a reason why she's not done UWN stuff [05:13] heh, marketing shmarketing..i just took a quick job with the Chicago Cubs as a "Business Aspects & Marketing" teams consultant [05:14] FREE TICKETS!!! [05:14] w00t! [05:14] oh ya baby...they better goto the world series this year :) [05:15] Not if I can help it! [05:16] hehe [05:16] gah === tonyyarusso doesn't really care, but roots for the Twins when feeling ambitious [05:16] I'm over in gobby working hard and you guys are fooling around === somerville32 gets out the whips. [05:16] hehe [05:17] we're not fooling 'round [05:17] Ah, yes... serious marketing biz - it can hard to tell the difference sometime ;] [05:17] lol [05:18] somerville32, oh, i thought you were calling loco stuff fooling [05:19] lol - well, loco stuff is crazy ;] [05:19] heh [05:19] somerville32: welcome to being chief editor [05:19] whoa, you stepped down Burgundavia? [05:20] nixternal: yep === somerville32 notes that elkbuntu told him that loco means crazy in some language and hence that was what we call an "inside joke". [05:20] Burgundavia, lol, we're making the transition right now? [05:20] somerville32, loco is crazy in spanish, iirc feminine form though [05:20] somerville32: less talking, more working on that UWN... Burgundavia and myself are going for a drink :) === somerville32 giggles. [05:21] loco == masculine && loca == feminine...que no? [05:22] i seriously can't remember the verbage...been 20 years almost since i took it in high school [05:22] loca sounds feminine to me [05:22] well, ricky martin say livin' la vida loca which is all feminine i believe [05:27] :] [05:28] nixternal: Will you recap heard 1 for me? [05:29] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyFawn/Herd1/Kubuntu [05:29] I mean in UWN 25 ;] [05:32] what needs to be recapped? some packaging got done, it was released unbroken, this is what we have to look forward to? [05:32] i can do that im sure [05:32] it was also released a week late :) === somerville32 nods. [05:34] Nixternal: Can you complete that right now? [05:34] point me in the right direction [05:34] ooh..i need to install gobby really quick [05:35] ok, that is done [05:35] nixternal: Do you know how to connect? [05:35] yup [05:35] as long as i have the correct ip of course [05:43] what server are we connecting to? [05:44] see the wikipage of the editing policites page [05:45] tonyyarusso: there are no plans to replace rb with banshee [05:45] Burgundavia: Okay [06:10] alright, brief write up completed for the Herd 1 Recap [06:11] excellent [06:12] i wouldn't call it excellent, but it is definitely brief :) [06:25] had an interesting thought about the distrowatch data [06:25] and people's unhealthy obsession with it? [06:26] create a page that shows the data graphically, via svg icons of the distros, scaled based on their hit counter [06:26] So....no more Isle of Man on that map. [06:27] not geographically, visually [06:27] you would see a page with all the icons, ala this page": [06:27] ah [06:27] http://www.gridter.com/linx/linux.html [06:27] but scale the icons based on the distrowatch hits [06:28] or any data, really [06:29] so you'd have huge Ubuntu & Suse icons, and a bunch of 1pxX1px icons for most of the rest [06:29] basically [06:30] you could use svg animation to show you across a good timescale as well === jalrnc_ [n=joao@ip68-0-221-147.ri.ri.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [06:55] anybody still alive? [06:59] yeah [07:00] barely [07:00] Up, but still feeling not so good [07:01] ok, still plugging away, but pretty tired myself [07:03] This is disgusting. I slept 16 hrs and just got up around dinnertime. And want to go back to bed. [07:03] because you overslept [07:05] elkbuntu: No, I've been exhausted for weeks. [07:05] docs have any explanation? [07:05] ey? [07:07] elkbuntu: "No manual entry for life" [07:07] tonyyarusso, i mean docs as in medical professionals [07:09] elkbuntu: Ooooh, duh. I'm going to try to figure out how those work when I get back from break. No time between now and Wednesday when I go home. [07:11] I am going to copy back from gobby [07:12] Burgundavia, oh ok [07:13] i was just about to do the kurdish bit... are we going to fix up towsonu's mess and take it back to what was published, or leave it as it is now? [07:14] UWN is far from ready to be published [07:14] im talking about the mess he made of 24 [07:16] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2006-December/000890.html [07:17] rightg [07:17] what was sent via email was correct [07:17] he editing the wiki afterwards and then reverted it [07:17] yes [07:17] er no [07:17] sec [07:18] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue24?action=diff&rev2=39&rev1=38 [07:18] see that edit [07:18] and then see the next one === zenrox [i=zenrox@pool-71-115-219-183.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [07:18] oh, wait, you are right [07:18] of course i am [07:19] I thought I had sent before he made that edit === Burgundavia sticks his tongue out at elkbuntu [07:19] no, you had not [07:19] hence, we now have egg on our faces over that [07:19] eh, people get things wrong all the time [07:19] we trust our writers [07:20] i cant even see how he perceived it as dropped, tbh [07:20] he got wrong information [07:20] thats not the point i was asking about though.. do we fix up the uwn24 in the wiki? [07:20] uwn24 has already been fixed int he wiki [07:21] if you notice [07:21] but it's not the same wording [07:21] as what was sent out [07:21] what im asking is... shoudl the wiki and the -news archive be identical or not [07:22] hmm, good point [07:23] i believe yes for major story changes [07:23] I have generally reverted changes, but in this case I think we should leave the original wording and then add an "update" big [07:23] k [07:24] bit, rather [07:27] What was the change? === tonyyarusso is too lazy to look [07:28] claiming charges were dropped, when they were not [07:29] Ah [07:30] ya, i remember seeing that and was like OH GOOD!
