| LirazSiri | good morning y'all | 06:41 |
|---|---|---|
| tyche | ALLEZ, ALLEZ, ALLZINFREE!!! | 15:57 |
| tyche | It's time to show the world how a REAL team works. Hee hee | 15:58 |
| * myrtlebeachbums puts on his hip waders | 15:58 | |
| kennymc0 | what? you mean delegating all the work to the newest guy on the team? | 15:59 |
| kennymc0 | or is that how a normal team works and we are supposed to be a "real" team :P | 15:59 |
| * kennymc0 going to be quiet now | 15:59 | |
| johnc4510 | lol | 16:00 |
| tyche | But . . . but . . . but kennymc0, you passed it back UP the food chain. Just like a good virus. | 16:00 |
| kennymc0 | what i'm a virus now???? | 16:00 |
| kennymc0 | if i'm going to be called a virus i deserve a raise | 16:00 |
| tyche | Besides, giving the new guy all the dirty jobs is a time-honored tradition! How ELSE is the new guy supposed to learn what to avoid when he gains in rank. | 16:01 |
| tyche | (And yes, I suppose I am calling you "rank") Hee hee | 16:01 |
| tyche | As for the raise, you got that last week. | 16:01 |
| kennymc0 | that was for the upcoming events section | 16:02 |
| kennymc0 | and with what you are paying me you can afford to double my salary again | 16:02 |
| kennymc0 | lol | 16:02 |
| myrtlebeachbums | Yeah, aren't you making a billion times what you made on your first UWN issue now? I know I am. | 16:02 |
| tyche | What???!!!!???? You want me to double your pay AGAIN????!!!!???? | 16:02 |
| tyche | OK, 2 * 0 STILL = 0 | 16:03 |
| myrtlebeachbums | Exactly! | 16:03 |
| kennymc0 | See. that wasnt that hard | 16:03 |
| kennymc0 | lol | 16:04 |
| kennymc0 | hey........wait | 16:04 |
| kennymc0 | lol | 16:04 |
| tyche | The unmitigated gall of some new troupes. | 16:04 |
| tyche | Or is that Gaul. Hee hee | 16:04 |
| tyche | "All gall is divided into three parts"? | 16:04 |
| johnc4510 | tyche: did you read thru the UDW piece in GCN?? | 16:08 |
| tyche | I had read through the original. I haven't read your teaser yet. | 16:10 |
| johnc4510 | when you get a chance please, it was a lot of adlib i had to put in from sources | 16:10 |
| myrtlebeachbums | So tyche, about that bringing the one article for ITB up to the group.... You want the honors? | 16:10 |
| johnc4510 | myrtlebeachbums: what about it? | 16:12 |
| tyche | I hereby bestow upon johnc4510, by the authority vested in me through my B.A. in BS, the honorary degree of PHD (Piled Higher and Deeper). Hee hee | 16:12 |
| johnc4510 | so what are we discussing here?? | 16:14 |
| myrtlebeachbums | The ITB entry we spoke about. tyche proposed debating it here. | 16:14 |
| myrtlebeachbums | http://www.linuxinsider.com/rsstory/65877.html | 16:15 |
| johnc4510 | looking | 16:15 |
| tyche | That's the one you're supposed to be condensing down. | 16:15 |
| tyche | In a polite way. | 16:15 |
| johnc4510 | right | 16:15 |
| johnc4510 | it may make the final cut and may not. we'll see | 16:16 |
| myrtlebeachbums | Yep. I accepted that one. I'll stop procrastinating now and work on i.... OOOH! SHINY THING! | 16:16 |
| johnc4510 | i'm trying to get something in to make the community realize that flaming isn't wanted or needed | 16:16 |
| myrtlebeachbums | *nod* | 16:16 |
| johnc4510 | k | 16:16 |
| tyche | BTW, johnc4510, Nick's Ubuntu Podcast 18 is out now. | 16:19 |
| johnc4510 | tyche: ah ok | 16:20 |
| tyche | Hey johnc4510? What the heck is adsobtion? (Meeting Summaries, Mobile Team, first bullet point.) | 16:27 |
| johnc4510 | looking | 16:27 |
| johnc4510 | should probably be "absorbtion" i think | 16:28 |
| tyche | OH!!! OK, that makes sense | 16:28 |
| johnc4510 | :) | 16:28 |
| johnc4510 | change it if you could please | 16:29 |
| tyche | Yep | 16:29 |
| johnc4510 | ITP: Don't fear the penguin: nice job of the write up on that one :) | 16:32 |
| myrtlebeachbums | Thanks! | 16:33 |
| johnc4510 | kennymc0: can you correct the two typo's in the last sentence of the first article ITB "foudn taht" | 16:34 |
| johnc4510 | lol | 16:34 |
| kennymc0 | wow i made a mistake like that | 16:34 |
| kennymc0 | maybe i should start doing them in open office instead of just a text doc | 16:34 |
| kennymc0 | spell check is my friend | 16:35 |
| tyche | Gedit can spell check. You just have to go in and turn it on every time you start. | 16:35 |
| myrtlebeachbums | Firefox 3.x does inline spell checking. Pay attention to the lil' red lines. ;) | 16:35 |
| myrtlebeachbums | I saw that a request for Gedit is for Wiki syntax highlighting. Note that I said "requested", not "implemented". | 16:36 |
| johnc4510 | kennymc0: also the 3rd article next to last sentence:"adn | 16:36 |
| kennymc0 | u was kinda tired when i wrote that one | 16:36 |
| myrtlebeachbums | Either someone's going to make that or by UWN 150 I'll be frustrated enough to learn how to make it myself. | 16:36 |
| kennymc0 | so i can understand a mistake like that in that one | 16:36 |
| johnc4510 | sure | 16:36 |
| johnc4510 | np | 16:36 |
| myrtlebeachbums | "u was kinda tired"... and you're wide awake now? | 16:37 |
| johnc4510 | kennymc0: nice job on the 3 ITB that are up | 16:37 |
| kennymc0 | tyche: if you could let me know when you are out of the UWN so that i can post another ITB | 16:41 |
| tyche | Saving now | 16:42 |
| tyche | Clear | 16:42 |
| kennymc0 | kk thx | 16:42 |
| kennymc0 | ok i'm out now | 16:44 |
| kennymc0 | made those changes johnc4510 | 16:44 |
| johnc4510 | kennymc0: thx | 16:45 |
| kennymc0 | np | 16:45 |
| kennymc0 | ok another ITB is up | 16:50 |
| kennymc0 | now it's up to myrtlebeachbums to finish it off | 16:50 |
| johnc4510 | k | 16:50 |
| * myrtlebeachbums notes that it's officially all on his shoulders. | 16:50 | |
| johnc4510 | lol | 16:50 |
| tyche | I'm working on the glossary. I discovered more as I was going through correcting some typos | 16:51 |
| johnc4510 | great | 16:52 |
| johnc4510 | :> | 16:52 |
| myrtlebeachbums | johnc4510 - it's pasted in now. Let me know what you think. | 16:53 |
| myrtlebeachbums | Gee, spot the verbose guy's post in the ITB section. :-P | 16:57 |
| myrtlebeachbums | GAH! Missed a camelback. Fixing. | 16:57 |
| tyche | Yea, with the CamelBack that I had to fix | 16:57 |
| tyche | Hee hee. Too late. Already done | 16:58 |
| myrtlebeachbums | I just saw that. Thanks tyche. | 16:58 |
| tyche | myrtlebeachbums: You did a good job on the "Woman Quits College" one, but I still don't like it. | 17:06 |
| tyche | Sorry. | 17:07 |
| myrtlebeachbums | Heh heh heh. NP | 17:07 |
| kennymc0 | that's why i didnt want to do it | 17:07 |
| tyche | Just my opinion. | 17:07 |
| myrtlebeachbums | There's no easy way to wrap that up as a feel good story in the end. | 17:07 |
| johnc4510 | lol | 17:07 |
| tyche | It isn't a "feel-good" story. You're right there. | 17:07 |
| myrtlebeachbums | As usual on the internet, a few highly opinionated idiots made the rest of the community look bad. | 17:07 |
| johnc4510 | kennymc0: i altered the last 2 ITB summaries to expand them | 17:08 |
| * myrtlebeachbums hands kennymc0 a +5 ITB shovel | 17:08 | |
| johnc4510 | myrtlebeachbums: i'll take a look at the flame war now | 17:08 |
| myrtlebeachbums | k | 17:08 |
| kennymc0 | thx for expanding them johnc4510 there wasnt a whole lot of material in the last 2 | 17:09 |
| johnc4510 | np | 17:09 |
| kennymc0 | stats look good so far | 17:13 |
| kennymc0 | just running a quick check | 17:13 |
| boredandblogging | hi guys | 17:14 |
| kennymc0 | morning boredandblogging | 17:14 |
| boredandblogging | can we include a link to the Developer News in the UWN? | 17:14 |
| boredandblogging | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2009-January/000527.html | 17:15 |
| johnc4510 | boredandblogging: we can | 17:15 |
| johnc4510 | myrtlebeachbums: tyche kennymc0, try the college lady piece now | 17:16 |
| johnc4510 | made some changes | 17:16 |
| myrtlebeachbums | Looking | 17:16 |
| tyche | Looking . . . | 17:16 |
| myrtlebeachbums | Addition by subtraction. Looks good johnc4510. | 17:17 |
| tyche | Better, but I don't think it gets the point across. Unfortunately (I've read the article) I'm not sure one could from the article. It's implied, not stated. | 17:17 |
| johnc4510 | right | 17:17 |
| johnc4510 | hopefully the community gets the idea | 17:17 |
| tyche | Well, we may hear about this one. | 17:18 |
| johnc4510 | although it's not really our people doing it i don't think | 17:18 |
| johnc4510 | if we do we do | 17:18 |
| tyche | Nope. Zelots (not the person with the nick) | 17:18 |
| johnc4510 | news is news...it's not always good news | 17:18 |
| johnc4510 | right | 17:18 |
| myrtlebeachbums | Sadly enough, if they read UWN chances are they're not in the group of people that need to be hit with a clue by four while being told "HELP THE N00BS! - DON'T DISCOURAGE THEM!" | 17:18 |
| tyche | True. And that I can accept. | 17:18 |
| johnc4510 | boredandblogging: should i put the dev news in | 17:19 |
| johnc4510 | GCN or ION | 17:19 |
| johnc4510 | ? | 17:19 |
| tyche | kennymc0: I thought you said that there were 30 some entries for Upcoming Meetings. | 17:20 |
| kennymc0 | yeah i made a mistake | 17:20 |
| kennymc0 | i looked at the wrong week | 17:20 |
| tyche | AH! WHEW!!! You scared me. | 17:20 |
| kennymc0 | i told you that after i realized it but you probably had gone to bed by then | 17:20 |
| kennymc0 | i scared myself | 17:20 |
| tyche | Yea, I didn't see it. | 17:21 |
| boredandblogging | johnc4510: lets drop it at the bottom of GCN | 17:21 |
| johnc4510 | boredandblogging: kk | 17:21 |
| tyche | Of course, fighting this cold, I probably miss a lot | 17:21 |
| boredandblogging | also, please use use lp.net instead of edge.lp.net | 17:21 |
| johnc4510 | where at? | 17:22 |
| johnc4510 | ah in the tech board runoff | 17:23 |
| johnc4510 | k | 17:23 |
| boredandblogging | johnc4510: technical board run off | 17:23 |
| johnc4510 | :) | 17:23 |
| boredandblogging | yeah, but I kinda meant as a general thing as well | 17:23 |
| johnc4510 | yeah, i'm not sure where is got that | 17:24 |
| johnc4510 | i think off the mailing list link | 17:25 |
| johnc4510 | boredandblogging: ok, done and done | 17:25 |
| boredandblogging | edge is for people who are LP testers, if I'm not mistaken | 17:25 |
| johnc4510 | k | 17:25 |
| johnc4510 | i'll keep that in mind | 17:25 |
| johnc4510 | not that it will stick hee hee | 17:25 |
| johnc4510 | :/ | 17:26 |
| boredandblogging | i bet it redirects | 17:26 |
| johnc4510 | maybe | 17:29 |
| johnc4510 | james_w: ping boredandblogging told me to ask you about updates for 6.06 and 7.10. we haven't had any to put in the UWN since dec. 08 | 17:54 |
| boredandblogging | james_w: are you going to post the UDN on the fridge? | 17:54 |
| james_w | boredandblogging: I'm not sure, I didn't think it was the right audience | 17:54 |
| james_w | johnc4510: you mean package fixes in those releases? | 17:54 |
| johnc4510 | yes | 17:55 |
| james_w | it's possible that there haven't been any | 17:55 |
| johnc4510 | k | 17:55 |
| james_w | let me have a look | 17:55 |
| johnc4510 | thx | 17:55 |
| boredandblogging | james_w: I think we can post a summary, like the "in the news we have" highlights | 17:55 |
| boredandblogging | don't need to post the whole thing | 17:55 |
| james_w | if you think it's worth I would be happy to | 17:56 |
| boredandblogging | james_w: think it would be good | 17:56 |
| boredandblogging | plus once we migrate to the "new" fridge, it should be there | 17:57 |
| johnc4510 | james_w: we draw from here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/gutsy-changes/ and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/feisty-changes/ | 17:57 |
| johnc4510 | for the UWN | 17:57 |
| boredandblogging | james_w: and I'm about to put it on the planet | 17:57 |
| * johnc4510 to UWN team, nice work all. I'll publish a little later after i do my final edits | 18:12 | |
| johnc4510 | thx | 18:12 |
| johnc4510 | :) | 18:12 |
| tyche | Thanks, johnc4510. Nice words that mean a great deal to me. | 18:13 |
| johnc4510 | :) | 18:13 |
| johnc4510 | you guys are great!!!! | 18:14 |
| LirazSiri | hey guys | 19:02 |
| kennymc0 | morning | 19:05 |
| kennymc0 | :) | 19:05 |
| LirazSiri | actually, it's 9pm over here :) | 19:06 |
| kennymc0 | it's noon here | 19:06 |
| LirazSiri | where is everybody? | 19:06 |
| kennymc0 | they left for lunch i suppose | 19:07 |
| kennymc0 | a lot of the people that work on the uwn are in AZ | 19:07 |
| kennymc0 | at least 3 of us | 19:07 |
| LirazSiri | really. I live in Israel. Small world | 19:08 |
| LirazSiri | I popped in because I wanted to discuss taking over the updates and security and stats sections officially | 19:08 |
| LirazSiri | the main thing is I want to prevent someone else from working on that accidentally and duplicating the effort | 19:09 |
| LirazSiri | also, if I get that role, I can do it a bit later with confidence and the stats will be a bit more up to date | 19:10 |
| LirazSiri | I can stick around for a bit longer, but if the guys don't come back we'll have to discuss this over email | 19:10 |
| kennymc0 | as of right now there is no one else working on it | 19:11 |
| kennymc0 | i believe they are cool with you working on it officially i just think you should talk with them | 19:11 |
| kennymc0 | cause you are basically taking over what i used to do and they have moved me on to other parts of the uwn | 19:12 |
| LirazSiri | really what are you doing now? | 19:12 |
| kennymc0 | i'm working on the summaries for the in the blogosphere and the upcoming events | 19:13 |
| kennymc0 | well it's time for me to head out have to go pick up my little brother and get something to eat | 19:16 |
| kennymc0 | talk to ya later | 19:16 |
| LirazSiri | ttyl | 19:17 |
| LirazSiri | hi john | 19:30 |
| johnc4510-laptop | LirazSiri: hey bud | 19:30 |
| johnc4510-laptop | :) | 19:30 |

| LirazSiri | and the stats | 19:31 |
| johnc4510-laptop | thx | 19:31 |
| johnc4510-laptop | right | 19:31 |
| LirazSiri | kenny recommended I come talk to you guys about doing this role "officially" | 19:31 |
| LirazSiri | can you see the channel log before you came in? | 19:31 |
| johnc4510-laptop | sure, we're glad to have you | 19:31 |
| LirazSiri | alright, what I'm trying to prevent is duplicated effort | 19:32 |
| johnc4510-laptop | nah, i sat down with my laptop | 19:32 |
| johnc4510-laptop | np, when are you planning to have those in by in each issue? | 19:32 |
| johnc4510-laptop | just for my knowledge | 19:32 |
| johnc4510-laptop | :) | 19:32 |
| LirazSiri | I'm flexible on that | 19:32 |
| LirazSiri | that's what I want to talk to you about | 19:32 |
| johnc4510-laptop | k | 19:32 |
| LirazSiri | I know this stuff benefits from being done as late as possible | 19:33 |
| LirazSiri | e.g., the stats, the package and security updates | 19:33 |
| johnc4510-laptop | right, but i know you are on a different time zonw | 19:33 |
| LirazSiri | I am | 19:33 |
| johnc4510-laptop | k, so, what time is it there now? | 19:33 |
| LirazSiri | we can use UTC as a point of reference | 19:33 |
| LirazSiri | 21:34 | 19:33 |
| johnc4510-laptop | k, can you have them done each wk by 17:00 your time? | 19:34 |
| LirazSiri | yes | 19:34 |
| LirazSiri | I'll put that down as the deadline on my end | 19:34 |
| johnc4510-laptop | ok, that would be great then, that's about the time i start looking things over | 19:35 |
| johnc4510-laptop | sounds great | 19:35 |
| johnc4510-laptop | thx | 19:35 |
| LirazSiri | np | 19:35 |
| LirazSiri | another thing that kenny mentioned is that you guys wanted everyone on the channel "to work as a team" | 19:35 |
| johnc4510-laptop | be sure to start documenting your contributions on your wiki page | 19:35 |
| LirazSiri | the problem is I am not sure I can be available on evenings (my time) | 19:36 |
| johnc4510-laptop | yeah we try to do it as a group when we get close to finishing up the issue | 19:36 |
| johnc4510-laptop | i understand | 19:36 |
| johnc4510-laptop | we can work with that | 19:36 |
| johnc4510-laptop | np | 19:36 |
| LirazSiri | great | 19:36 |
| LirazSiri | alright, I have to run off now. ttyl | 19:36 |
| johnc4510-laptop | great, looking forward to your contributions | 19:37 |

| Tumie | Loves conquers all things except poverty and toothache | 21:20 |
