=== Madpilot [n=brian@ubuntu/member/madpilot] has joined #ubuntu-fridge === LaserJock [n=mantha@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #ubuntu-fridge [07:04] anybody alive in here? :-) [07:05] never [07:05] what do you need? === Madpilot sends the resident zombies to savage LaserJock [07:05] uh oh [07:05] you guys know Vid Ayer? [07:06] yes, good people [07:06] she(?) sent me an email about Behind MOTU [07:07] it is a she [07:07] asking if I'd be interested in becoming a fridge editor and perhaps doing Behind MOTU there [07:08] so I thought I'd drop by and see what you were up to [07:09] we would love more editors [07:09] does being a fridge editor require more than some knowledge of drupal and sticking to the CoC? [07:09] don't even need an drupal [07:10] well, I'm running drupal on laserjock.us so I have some experience with it [07:10] cool [07:10] more MOTU news would be absolutely great :D [07:10] also for UWN [07:10] fire an email to fridge-devel asking for editing prvis [07:10] indeed [07:11] OK, I'm more than happy to help out, especially with MOTU/Develpoment related stuff [07:11] LaserJock: if you can handle it, we can add new a section to the UWN about MOTU related stuff === beuno slowly steals LaserJock for UWN [07:12] hehe [07:12] I think MOTU stuff is a perfect match for UWNs public [07:12] I need to take things slow [07:12] I've got a lot on my plate (currently trying to make core-dev) [07:13] but I'll see what I can do [07:13] aaalright, I'll just ping you every week and try to squeeze something out of you :p [07:13] I'm hoping to get MOTU to do more reporting in general [07:13] beuno: that's a bit easier ;-) [07:13] I like the idea of having devs more involved in UWN :D [07:14] yes, it does help [07:14] every once in a while I see some things that could use some technical correction/clarification [07:14] but in general I think UWN is great [07:15] I'm glad to hear that, although I do agree it can improve a lot [07:16] as everything [07:16] it's the nature of our community [07:16] there's *always* more to do [07:17] that's what keeps me up til 3am on a sunday :D [07:19] mhm [07:20] and I'm excited about having a holiday tomorrow so I can work on Ubuntu [07:20] Burgundavia: ok, email sent. I'm not subscribed yet so it may need moderation [07:22] LaserJock: it went through [07:23] ok great [07:28] so who are fridge admins? [07:29] LaserJock: I'm not sure who the admins are... Burgundavia and Vid for sure, but I don't know who else has super powers [07:30] some of us are editors :D [07:30] Madpilot and nixternal, for example [07:30] yo yo [07:30] what do you need mr. Jordan? [07:30] I recently had editorship descend on me. Still not quite sure what to do with it, though [07:31] nixternal: *cough* editorship *cough* [07:31] +1 [07:31] Burgundavia: ? mdke_ ? [07:31] that was easy :D [07:31] I am sure they will say yes anyways :) [07:31] Madpilot: write, I guess ;-) [07:31] haha [07:31] +1 from me too, if that wasn't clear enough :D [07:32] oh ya, bueno is a fridge goof with us now ;p [07:32] I'm new to it myself :D [07:32] hm, should be possible to have catagories in Fridge [07:33] wouldn't it be fun to have "Shelfs" in the fridge :-) [07:33] LaserJock: it does have categories, although I'm not sure they are shown in any way on the actual page... [07:34] hehe, just got an email from Vid, "The ed's hang out on #ubuntu-fridge, so [07:34] see you there" === LaserJock looks around [07:38] that's odd... [07:38] many of us are, yes. [07:38] I've added an event to the fridge [07:38] the end dates are correct [07:38] but something just isn't right: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event/2007/06/28/month/all/all/1 [07:39] nixternal: any ideas on why that happened? [07:40] hehe [07:40] suddenly we have a VERY long meeting [07:41] http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/996 [07:41] start and end dates seem correct [07:41] sweet, I'm in [07:41] LaserJock: welcome :D [07:44] gotta use etc/gmt for the times [07:45] you just found a drupal bug for the timezone you selected [07:45] heh, aaaalrighty then [07:45] maybe I should report that to drupal... [07:45] thanks :D [07:46] make sure you set those times correctly though for etc/gmt [07:47] 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 [07:48] 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] (specially since it ends up being July 1st) [07:49] er, june 1st [07:49] hehe [07:49] try to set the time again to the other timezone and see if it happens again [07:49] UTC confuses in entertaining ways [07:50] yes, I never get tired of people entering a channel and asking if the meeting is over 9 hours later [07:56] LaserJock: you already go an account on the fridge and I just approved you on the list [07:56] go? s/go/got which is wrong, should be have === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-fridge [08:11] nixternal: I've got the account and the list approval [08:14] 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 === beuno eyes Madpilot and nixternal [08:16] yo yo === nixternal looks === Madpilot pokes around cautiously in the Fridge's innards [08:18] is "approve" or "promote" the right command? what's the difference? [08:19] approve [08:19] actually [08:20] "published" would be the correct option [08:20] brb, dog needs to do his thing [08:21] published [08:30] nixternal: thanks [08:30] no prob..thank you for the write up === robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-fridge [09:09] ok, so are there any general Fridge guidelines laying around? [09:11] LaserJock: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge/EditorGuidelines === mdke [n=matt@80-47-141-162.lond-th.dynamic.dial.as9105.com] has joined #ubuntu-fridge [11:52] nixternal: hi? === svaksha [n=svaksha@unaffiliated/svaksha] has joined #ubuntu-fridge === svaksha pings Laserjock [07:19] svaksha: pong [07:25] morning LaserJock [07:27] morning/afternoon/evening to you :-) [07:29] ...night is more like it :) actually [07:30] k, wasn't sure how that worked over there [07:30] india [07:30] I'm used to Australian and European times [07:30] though I'm in the US [07:31] -12 for me, [07:32] I'm -7 [07:32] utc ? [07:32] -12 would be nice, same time, just am pm changes [07:32] eastern? [07:32] Pacific [07:32] oh [07:33] pacific == west coast, right [07:33] yep [07:34] seattle /CA or is it texas [07:34] time [07:34] I'm almost in California, Reno, Nevada [07:34] yea, forgot the 5 timezones us has [07:34] i remember eastern and texan times well [07:35] ok, so I had a question or two about Fridge [07:35] I don't want to flood Fridge and bump stuff down too fast [07:36] shoot [07:36] but there are interesting things often in MOTU [07:36] how "big" should a story be to make it on fridge? [07:36] and you want to write about it ? [07:36] about 2 short para's with a link to the bigger story. [07:37] and my other question was where does that bigger story go? [07:37] it should not be 500 lines that kills every other entry on the fridge :) [07:37] is it ok to have a node in Fridge for the bigger story [07:37] if you have that on you BM blog, its just fine. [07:38] see the story i linked to was a blog , http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/991 [07:38] after you write a story keep it in the queue and mail the list about it [07:38] a second ed will do a onceover and post it [07:38] that is the current procedure [07:39] probably a node, but how big will it be ? [07:44] not very big [07:44] the thing in MOTU is there are often things going on that are just like a little email [07:52] svaksha: ok, so here's what I'm working on, so you can tell me if I'm nuts [07:52] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Meetings/2007-05-25 [07:52] the section "Regular MOTU Q&A sessions" [07:53] 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] is that outside the scope of Fridge? === svaksha [n=svaksha@59.182.29.58] has joined #ubuntu-fridge === beuno [n=martin@ubuntu/member/beuno] has joined #ubuntu-fridge === svaksha [n=svaksha@59.182.29.58] has left #ubuntu-fridge [] === beuno [n=martin@ubuntu/member/beuno] has joined #ubuntu-fridge [09:16] ok, so I'm adding my first event [09:17] do I need to add it to the submission queue? [09:19] LaserJock: yeap, you have to leave it on queue and notify another editor [09:20] I'll take a peak [09:20] just a sec, I haven't added it yet [09:20] LaserJock, beuno: you don't need to leave events in the queue, you can just add them [09:20] okidoke [09:21] it's stories that you should ask for review [09:21] so event's don't need review? [09:21] *events [09:21] that's right. They are only two lines, after all :) [09:22] oooh, sorry, I completely ignored the "event" part [09:22] just do what mdke says :D [09:22] the page we have for guidelines about stories is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge/EditorGuidelines [09:22] mdke, btw, great idea on unifying everything under ubuntu-news :D [09:22] it's a bit outdated though, we should work a bit on documenting [09:23] beuno: thanks for the positive response, I was a bit worried that it would get negative feedback [09:23] mdke: is there a clear statement of the scope of Fridge? [09:23] LaserJock: no, that page is the best we have right now, afaik [09:23] I think it would solve a lot of problems, and it's what really makes sense after all... [09:24] cool [09:25] if people generally approve, I'll try and write up a spec to plan it out [09:25] great, if you need any help, I'll be glad to give you a hand [09:26] thanks a lot [09:26] I will :) [09:26] ok, I'm creating an event called "MOTU Q&A Day" does that sound ok? [09:26] mdke: I think a spec would be good [09:26] sounds fine to me
