joeyhey james_w - is there any way the UWN team can help you out more with the dev news?19:24
joeyI realize I'm volunteering other people here :-)19:24
james_whey joey19:24
james_wI'm not sure what the workflow is19:24
james_wperhaps we could pool items where they overlap19:25
tycheYES you are, joey.  LOL19:25
johnc4510i'm here for questions james_w joey19:25
james_whey tyche, johnc451019:25
johnc4510hey19:25
james_wwhat do you guys think?19:25
james_wIs there anything in your current work that would help?19:25
johnc4510i've been watching the dev mailing list19:25
johnc4510and just picked up the dev news issue #2 last wk19:26
tycheHey, johnc4510.  I think we ought to put joey on the UWN staff, and have him do the security and updates, and stats and upcoming meetings the OLD way.19:26
johnc4510lol19:26
johnc4510other than that, i would need to know where to look19:26
tycheThen, after about 3 months, show him how we do them now.  LOL19:26
johnc4510or be sent items via -news-team mailing list19:26
johnc4510james_w: any ideas ??19:27
james_wjohnc4510: if you watch the dev mailing list then forwarding things of interest to the news-team list would be great19:28
joeyoh god now tyche19:28
joeys/no/now19:28
johnc4510lol19:28
joeyjames_w, my question is really just verbal exploration. I'm not suggesting anything.  It just occurred to me that we have these guys who do a great job and maybe we can leverage that19:29
joeyI think we need two separate pubs19:29
tycheIsn't that the appropriate way of dealing with "supervisors" that don't know what the job really is?  Hee hee19:29
joeythey serve different audiences19:29
johnc4510james_w: ok, i watch that every week for info, not being a dev, something of importance might slip by me19:29
johnc4510:(19:29
james_wjoey: yeah, I'm wary of putting even more work on the UWN team, you have enough as it is :-)19:30
johnc4510joey: right19:30
james_wjohnc4510: that's no problem, I'll still be looking, and others hopefully.19:30
johnc4510james_w: it's easy for us if it's either sent to the -news-team mailing list or in the devs mailing list archive19:30
johnc4510for an example, we were having a problem reporting hug day because they sent the email within the wk it happened19:31
johnc4510so i just asked them to send it to the news-team list on the sat. before19:32
johnc4510so, anything _you_ want in the next issue needs to be to me by saturday if possible19:32
johnc4510:)19:32
tycheYea, it really hurts when we publish, then 2 days later something that we SHOULD have covered comes out.19:32
johnc4510we're more than willing to publish anything dev, or ubuntu related19:32
tycheDespite my kidding around, we really do want to "serve the community" by supplying the information.  We just need to have it by the Saturday BEFORE it's going to happen.19:33
johnc4510joey: have you heard anything about a new countdown script for Jaunty to use on our blogs?20:19
johnc4510should be about time for one20:19
johnc4510i think20:19
