| Rinchen | Re: Matt's fridge story - he's offline for the day so he'll probably fix that in the morning | 09:56 |
|---|---|---|
| Rinchen | if one of you guys wants to approve that after that line is rewritten, +1. | 09:56 |
| Rinchen | or if you find anything else that needs to be rewritten, +2 :-) | 09:56 |
| robitaille | Rinchen: I'll take a look at that article tonight | 10:50 |
| Rinchen | Thanks. | 10:50 |
| mdke | would be nice to get an article on the Dell story too | 10:51 |
| mdke | shall we mail the marketing team and ask them to contribute? might be a good chance to get them involved | 10:51 |
| Rinchen | At this point, Canonical employees cannot comment on Dell. | 10:51 |
| robitaille | hummm...planet.u.c doesn't seem to update. On the day where there is probably a bunch of blog entries about Dell-Ubuntu | 10:51 |
| mdke | robitaille: yeah, it was disabled. However, now that Canonical has announced the news, it should be reactivated again - I've asked the admins | 10:52 |
| robitaille | what? it was disabled because of the Dell story???? | 10:53 |
| mdke | yes, unfortunately | 10:53 |
| mdke | there was a leak, and it was blocked in a rather heavy handed way, at least that's the impression I got. | 10:54 |
| mdke | anyway, now the news is all live so we could write something | 10:54 |
| robitaille | I guess the leak was that Canonical employee who blogged about it...I see that his entry is now gone from the site | 10:56 |
| mdke | yes, 2 other community members linked to his story and were removed too; seems planet hasn't been updating since then | 10:56 |
| mdke | but the news has been public for quite a few hours now, no sure why it hasn't been restored | 10:57 |
| robitaille | I find all this a bit disturbing. it is one thing to control your direct employees...it is something else to remove entries of community members, and block the whole site for hours | 10:57 |
| mdke | yes, I agree. There was a bit of an overreaction... | 10:59 |
| robitaille | Interestingly my blog entry survived on planet...must be because it was clearled labelled a rumour | 11:00 |
| mdke | exactly, yes | 11:00 |
| robitaille | I have noticed in recent weeks that I making the decision on more and more posts of mine to not appear on planet...some sort of self-censorship; even for posts somewhat related to Ubuntu. I'm starting to think that maybe I should simply remove myself from the planet. | 11:05 |
| robitaille | going to a more complete freedom of expression :) | 11:05 |
| Rinchen | robitaille, I hope you don't. I like the fact that you are there. | 11:06 |
| robitaille | Rinchen: 90% of my blog posts don't make it on Planet already | 11:06 |
| mdke | post more to planet | 11:06 |
| mdke | I like your posts and won't read them unless they end up there | 11:07 |
| Rinchen | I've noticed but didn't think it was that high a percentage. | 11:07 |
| Rinchen | I've had to self-censor myself so now I only use my blog to post about ubuntu in general. The problem is, some of the stuff I really want to post on, I'm not in a position to comment on. :-) | 11:07 |
| robitaille | essentially anything tag "ubuntu" goes to planet, anything else stay on my blog. Too much non-ubuntu stuff on planet could be seen as spam | 11:07 |
| mdke | I think people should post everything on their blog to the planet | 11:08 |
| mdke | non-Ubuntu related stuff is interesting too, because the whole people is to find out more about contributors | 11:08 |
| mdke | obviously, if people don't want to, that's fine. I'm just saying that I like seeing it | 11:08 |
| Rinchen | Me personally, I like to see Ubuntu and related but not anything else except life announcements (e.g. "It's a boy!") | 11:11 |
| mdke | how come? | 11:12 |
| Rinchen | info overload | 11:13 |
| Rinchen | If I like someone's posts in general, I'll add their feed | 11:14 |
| Rinchen | otherwise, I like to hear the buzz on a particular topic, in this case, Ubuntu and related | 11:14 |
| robitaille | I know that I write 3-4 posts a day on my blog. if they all to planet, and 20 others members do the same, that's a very busy planet | 11:14 |
| mdke | robitaille: nothing compared to planet Gnome | 11:14 |
| Rinchen | planet mayhem you mean? ;-) | 11:15 |
| robitaille | mdke: and that's why I don't subscribe to planet Gnome...too busy and not focused enough :) | 11:15 |
| mdke | ah, I quite like it | 11:15 |
