ligemegetIsn't #86 out?08:38
ligemegetAlso, I subscribed the DIY team to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/better-pr-for-new-releases - mostly because I couldn't find any marketing-team to subscribe08:38
Mirvboredandblogging: Hi. I sent the Finnish (fi) translation of the press release to your @ubuntu.com address now, GPG encrypted. Please ask if you have anything to ask regarding it.09:02
ligemegetWait.. Is the press release translatable?09:03
ligemegeti didn't think anything on ubuntu.com was directly translatable..09:03

ligemegetthanks09:10
ligemegetboredandblogging, I'm passing Mirv's link on to the ubuntu-dk guys. I think there may be some official ubuntu members amongst them. I, sadly, am not one :( - I'm just the translator guy09:19

Syntuxboredandblogging, Hey nick, I'd like to translate the PR into Arabic but I'm not ubuntu member yet.19:46
mdkehi21:55
mdkeI'm told that an Italian community member requested a copy of the press release for translation purposes but was denied21:55
mdkeboredandblogging / beuno - can you please remedy that21:55
mdkein an open community where the object is to spread Ubuntu to as many people as possible, that attitude is just silly21:56
beunomdke, I haven't rejected anyone,  :/   boredandblogging, do you know anything about it?21:57
mdkeit was cody, I'm told21:58
mdkeI mean, I understand a reasonable level of discretion is required, but to take things to the extreme of rejecting people who ask in good faith, is just silly21:59
mdkethese aren't state secrets21:59
mdkeso, can I perhaps have a copy? The Italian community has already prepared an official press release which has been approved, but it would be nice for reference22:02
beunomdke, on it's way22:03
mdkethanks22:03
beuno:)22:03
mdkesorry for venting, but excessive levels of secrecy bother me22:04
beunomdke, understandable, it's just that it's a bit delicate because if it gets leaked, we're going to loose whatever trust we've got from Canonical. But I agree, it's been too strict22:06
mdkebeuno: I can see from the email that quite a lot of pressure was put on, and I can see the reasons too. If this hadn't been an Ubuntu member who asked, it wouldn't have bothered me. But the whole point of ubuntu membership is to build a network of trusted contributors22:07
beunomdke, absolutely, the only condition was for it to be an Ubuntu Member, that was discussed22:09
beunonot sure what happened in the this particular case22:09
mdkebeuno: thanks for helping out22:15
mdkepassed on with suitable disclaimer22:16
beunomdke, np, sorry for all the confusion22:18
mdkebeuno: digging deeper, seems like the confusion was on my side - in fact cody gave it to an italian contributor but he refused to disclose it to other members; I had misunderstood the position.23:30
mdkebeuno: apologies to cody in his absence23:30
beunomdke, aaah, I'm glad then  :)23:30
* mdke clears the egg off his face and goes to bed23:37
beunomdke, don't worry about it, things tend to deform a bit when hoping over too many users and languages  :)23:38
