| LaserJock | anybody alive in here? :-) | 07:04 |
|---|---|---|
| Burgundavia | never | 07:05 |
| Burgundavia | what do you need? | 07:05 |
| === Madpilot sends the resident zombies to savage LaserJock | ||
| LaserJock | uh oh | 07:05 |
| LaserJock | you guys know Vid Ayer? | 07:05 |
| Burgundavia | yes, good people | 07:06 |
| LaserJock | she(?) sent me an email about Behind MOTU | 07:06 |
| Burgundavia | it is a she | 07:07 |
| LaserJock | asking if I'd be interested in becoming a fridge editor and perhaps doing Behind MOTU there | 07:07 |
| LaserJock | so I thought I'd drop by and see what you were up to | 07:08 |
| Burgundavia | we would love more editors | 07:09 |
| LaserJock | does being a fridge editor require more than some knowledge of drupal and sticking to the CoC? | 07:09 |
| Burgundavia | don't even need an drupal | 07:09 |
| LaserJock | well, I'm running drupal on laserjock.us so I have some experience with it | 07:10 |
| Burgundavia | cool | 07:10 |
| beuno | more MOTU news would be absolutely great :D | 07:10 |
| beuno | also for UWN | 07:10 |
| Burgundavia | fire an email to fridge-devel asking for editing prvis | 07:10 |
| Burgundavia | indeed | 07:10 |
| LaserJock | OK, I'm more than happy to help out, especially with MOTU/Develpoment related stuff | 07:11 |
| beuno | LaserJock: if you can handle it, we can add new a section to the UWN about MOTU related stuff | 07:11 |
| === beuno slowly steals LaserJock for UWN | ||
| LaserJock | hehe | 07:12 |
| beuno | I think MOTU stuff is a perfect match for UWNs public | 07:12 |
| LaserJock | I need to take things slow | 07:12 |
| LaserJock | I've got a lot on my plate (currently trying to make core-dev) | 07:12 |
| LaserJock | but I'll see what I can do | 07:13 |
| beuno | aaalright, I'll just ping you every week and try to squeeze something out of you :p | 07:13 |
| LaserJock | I'm hoping to get MOTU to do more reporting in general | 07:13 |
| LaserJock | beuno: that's a bit easier ;-) | 07:13 |
| beuno | I like the idea of having devs more involved in UWN :D | 07:13 |
| LaserJock | yes, it does help | 07:14 |
| LaserJock | every once in a while I see some things that could use some technical correction/clarification | 07:14 |
| LaserJock | but in general I think UWN is great | 07:14 |
| beuno | I'm glad to hear that, although I do agree it can improve a lot | 07:15 |
| LaserJock | as everything | 07:16 |
| LaserJock | it's the nature of our community | 07:16 |
| LaserJock | there's *always* more to do | 07:16 |
| beuno | that's what keeps me up til 3am on a sunday :D | 07:17 |
| LaserJock | mhm | 07:19 |
| LaserJock | and I'm excited about having a holiday tomorrow so I can work on Ubuntu | 07:20 |
| LaserJock | Burgundavia: ok, email sent. I'm not subscribed yet so it may need moderation | 07:20 |
| beuno | LaserJock: it went through | 07:22 |
| LaserJock | ok great | 07:23 |
| LaserJock | so who are fridge admins? | 07:28 |
| beuno | LaserJock: I'm not sure who the admins are... Burgundavia and Vid for sure, but I don't know who else has super powers | 07:29 |
| beuno | some of us are editors :D | 07:30 |
| beuno | Madpilot and nixternal, for example | 07:30 |
| nixternal | yo yo | 07:30 |
| nixternal | what do you need mr. Jordan? | 07:30 |
| Madpilot | I recently had editorship descend on me. Still not quite sure what to do with it, though | 07:30 |
| LaserJock | nixternal: *cough* editorship *cough* | 07:31 |
| nixternal | +1 | 07:31 |
| nixternal | Burgundavia: ? mdke_ ? | 07:31 |
| beuno | that was easy :D | 07:31 |
| nixternal | I am sure they will say yes anyways :) | 07:31 |
| LaserJock | Madpilot: write, I guess ;-) | 07:31 |
| nixternal | haha | 07:31 |
| beuno | +1 from me too, if that wasn't clear enough :D | 07:31 |
| nixternal | oh ya, bueno is a fridge goof with us now ;p | 07:32 |
| beuno | I'm new to it myself :D | 07:32 |
| LaserJock | hm, should be possible to have catagories in Fridge | 07:32 |
| LaserJock | wouldn't it be fun to have "Shelfs" in the fridge :-) | 07:33 |
| beuno | LaserJock: it does have categories, although I'm not sure they are shown in any way on the actual page... | 07:33 |
| LaserJock | hehe, just got an email from Vid, "The ed's hang out on #ubuntu-fridge, so | 07:34 |
| LaserJock | see you there" | 07:34 |
| === LaserJock looks around | ||
| beuno | that's odd... | 07:38 |
| Madpilot | many of us are, yes. | 07:38 |
| beuno | I've added an event to the fridge | 07:38 |
| beuno | the end dates are correct | 07:38 |
| beuno | but something just isn't right: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event/2007/06/28/month/all/all/1 | 07:38 |
| beuno | nixternal: any ideas on why that happened? | 07:39 |
| nixternal | hehe | 07:40 |
| beuno | suddenly we have a VERY long meeting | 07:40 |
| beuno | http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/996 | 07:41 |
| beuno | start and end dates seem correct | 07:41 |
| LaserJock | sweet, I'm in | 07:41 |
| beuno | LaserJock: welcome :D | 07:41 |
| nixternal | gotta use etc/gmt for the times | 07:44 |
| nixternal | you just found a drupal bug for the timezone you selected | 07:45 |
| beuno | heh, aaaalrighty then | 07:45 |
| beuno | maybe I should report that to drupal... | 07:45 |
| beuno | thanks :D | 07:45 |
| nixternal | make sure you set those times correctly though for etc/gmt | 07:46 |
| nixternal | because as it stands, it interferes with the kubuntu meeting, which doesn't matter since the channels are different..but switching the timezone would make those times incorrect | 07:47 |
| beuno | ok, I'll move it to the actual time it's going to take place GMT, although that will bring all kinds of confusion | 07:48 |
| beuno | (specially since it ends up being July 1st) | 07:48 |
| beuno | er, june 1st | 07:49 |
| nixternal | hehe | 07:49 |
| nixternal | try to set the time again to the other timezone and see if it happens again | 07:49 |
| Madpilot | UTC confuses in entertaining ways | 07:49 |
| beuno | yes, I never get tired of people entering a channel and asking if the meeting is over 9 hours later | 07:50 |
| nixternal | LaserJock: you already go an account on the fridge and I just approved you on the list | 07:56 |
| nixternal | go? s/go/got which is wrong, should be have | 07:56 |
| === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-fridge | ||
| LaserJock | nixternal: I've got the account and the list approval | 08:11 |
| beuno | ok, sent the UWN release story to the fridge, if any editor could review and approve it, I can go to bed a happy ubuntero | 08:14 |
| === beuno eyes Madpilot and nixternal | ||
| nixternal | yo yo | 08:16 |
| === nixternal looks | ||
| === Madpilot pokes around cautiously in the Fridge's innards | ||
| Madpilot | is "approve" or "promote" the right command? what's the difference? | 08:18 |
| beuno | approve | 08:19 |
| beuno | actually | 08:19 |
| beuno | "published" would be the correct option | 08:20 |
| beuno | brb, dog needs to do his thing | 08:20 |
| nixternal | published | 08:21 |
| beuno | nixternal: thanks | 08:30 |
| nixternal | no prob..thank you for the write up | 08:30 |
| === robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-fridge | ||
| LaserJock | ok, so are there any general Fridge guidelines laying around? | 09:09 |

| LaserJock | svaksha: pong | 07:19 |
| svaksha | morning LaserJock | 07:25 |
| LaserJock | morning/afternoon/evening to you :-) | 07:27 |
| svaksha | ...night is more like it :) actually | 07:29 |
| LaserJock | k, wasn't sure how that worked over there | 07:30 |
| svaksha | india | 07:30 |
| LaserJock | I'm used to Australian and European times | 07:30 |
| LaserJock | though I'm in the US | 07:30 |
| svaksha | -12 for me, | 07:31 |
| LaserJock | I'm -7 | 07:32 |
| svaksha | utc ? | 07:32 |
| LaserJock | -12 would be nice, same time, just am pm changes | 07:32 |
| svaksha | eastern? | 07:32 |
| LaserJock | Pacific | 07:32 |
| svaksha | oh | 07:32 |
| svaksha | pacific == west coast, right | 07:33 |
| LaserJock | yep | 07:33 |
| svaksha | seattle /CA or is it texas | 07:34 |
| svaksha | time | 07:34 |
| LaserJock | I'm almost in California, Reno, Nevada | 07:34 |
| svaksha | yea, forgot the 5 timezones us has | 07:34 |
| svaksha | i remember eastern and texan times well | 07:34 |
| LaserJock | ok, so I had a question or two about Fridge | 07:35 |
| LaserJock | I don't want to flood Fridge and bump stuff down too fast | 07:35 |
| svaksha | shoot | 07:36 |
| LaserJock | but there are interesting things often in MOTU | 07:36 |
| LaserJock | how "big" should a story be to make it on fridge? | 07:36 |
| svaksha | and you want to write about it ? | 07:36 |
| svaksha | about 2 short para's with a link to the bigger story. | 07:36 |
| LaserJock | and my other question was where does that bigger story go? | 07:37 |
| svaksha | it should not be 500 lines that kills every other entry on the fridge :) | 07:37 |
| LaserJock | is it ok to have a node in Fridge for the bigger story | 07:37 |
| svaksha | if you have that on you BM blog, its just fine. | 07:37 |
| svaksha | see the story i linked to was a blog , http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/991 | 07:38 |
| svaksha | after you write a story keep it in the queue and mail the list about it | 07:38 |
| svaksha | a second ed will do a onceover and post it | 07:38 |
| svaksha | that is the current procedure | 07:38 |
| svaksha | probably a node, but how big will it be ? | 07:39 |
| LaserJock | not very big | 07:44 |
| LaserJock | the thing in MOTU is there are often things going on that are just like a little email | 07:44 |
| LaserJock | svaksha: ok, so here's what I'm working on, so you can tell me if I'm nuts | 07:52 |
| LaserJock | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Meetings/2007-05-25 | 07:52 |
| LaserJock | the section "Regular MOTU Q&A sessions" | 07:52 |
| LaserJock | so I'd like to add an event to the fridge calendar for it and I'd like to do a write up so people know about it | 07:53 |
| LaserJock | is that outside the scope of Fridge? | 07:53 |

| === beuno [n=martin@ubuntu/member/beuno] has joined #ubuntu-fridge | ||
| LaserJock | ok, so I'm adding my first event | 09:16 |
| LaserJock | do I need to add it to the submission queue? | 09:17 |
| beuno | LaserJock: yeap, you have to leave it on queue and notify another editor | 09:19 |
| beuno | I'll take a peak | 09:20 |
| LaserJock | just a sec, I haven't added it yet | 09:20 |
| mdke | LaserJock, beuno: you don't need to leave events in the queue, you can just add them | 09:20 |
| beuno | okidoke | 09:20 |
| mdke | it's stories that you should ask for review | 09:21 |
| LaserJock | so event's don't need review? | 09:21 |
| LaserJock | *events | 09:21 |
| mdke | that's right. They are only two lines, after all :) | 09:21 |
| beuno | oooh, sorry, I completely ignored the "event" part | 09:22 |
| beuno | just do what mdke says :D | 09:22 |
| mdke | the page we have for guidelines about stories is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge/EditorGuidelines | 09:22 |
| beuno | mdke, btw, great idea on unifying everything under ubuntu-news :D | 09:22 |
| mdke | it's a bit outdated though, we should work a bit on documenting | 09:22 |
| mdke | beuno: thanks for the positive response, I was a bit worried that it would get negative feedback | 09:23 |
| LaserJock | mdke: is there a clear statement of the scope of Fridge? | 09:23 |
| mdke | LaserJock: no, that page is the best we have right now, afaik | 09:23 |
| beuno | I think it would solve a lot of problems, and it's what really makes sense after all... | 09:23 |
| mdke | cool | 09:24 |
| mdke | if people generally approve, I'll try and write up a spec to plan it out | 09:25 |
| beuno | great, if you need any help, I'll be glad to give you a hand | 09:25 |
| mdke | thanks a lot | 09:26 |
| mdke | I will :) | 09:26 |
| LaserJock | ok, I'm creating an event called "MOTU Q&A Day" does that sound ok? | 09:26 |
| LaserJock | mdke: I think a spec would be good | 09:26 |
| mdke | sounds fine to me | 09:26 |
