| nhandler | Hey everyone. What can I do to help with the UWN today? | 14:07 |
| tyche | Morning, nhandler. You're up early today. | 14:19 |
| tyche | Well, at the risk of causing some confusion, there's a couple of entries in "The Planet" section. | 14:20 |
| tyche | johnc4510's not contacted me yesterday or this morning, so I think it's possible that he doesn't have electricity or a network hookup in Joplin. | 14:21 |
| nhandler | So should I just sumarize those blog articles? | 14:21 |
| tyche | Oh, and don't forget to put your name in the credits at the bottom of the UWN. | 14:21 |
| tyche | Yep. | 14:21 |
| nhandler | :) | 14:22 |
| tyche | Holler if something confuses you. | 14:23 |
| tyche | And thanks. | 14:23 |
| tyche | With johnc4510 out, it means that I've got to act like an overseer and end up publishing this myself. | 14:23 |
| * nhandler looks through his inbox to try to find the last time someone other than johnc4510 sent out the email | 14:28 | |
| tyche | You're going to have to look a LONG ways back. | 14:29 |
| tyche | I've had to do this twice, now, and was never really trained for it. All I've got is a cheat-sheet to go by. And THAT'S scary. Hee hee | 14:30 |
| nhandler | tyche: Dustin's blog post has 2 lists that have some important information in them. However, if I include them in list form, they make the article look a little long. Should I convert them to sentence form instead? Or can I leave them as they are? | 14:38 |
| tyche | I haven't left you alone. I'm looking. | 14:39 |
| tyche | Explaining the name change I don't think needs to be put in the summary, other than noticing that he has his reasons | 14:40 |
| tyche | The "In the byobu 2.x series" section can be included as a list. | 14:41 |
| tyche | The Updating Links can be noted, but I don't think it needs to be actually included. | 14:41 |
| tyche | Any of that make sense? | 14:41 |
| nhandler | Yeah, most of that is what I did (see the UWN wiki). I'll convert the links to sentence form since I think they should be included for people following the project | 14:42 |
| tyche | I know johnc4510 calls them summaries. I've always called them teasers. The purpose is to get people to go to the link for the rest of the information. You just have to give them enough to be excited about it. | 14:43 |
| tyche | Yep. I don't think that'll be too long. | 14:43 |
| nhandler | I haven't seen this too much in Ubuntu, but on Planet Debian, almost all of the developers are switching to more secure gpg keys (2048 instead of 1024). Do you think it is worth mentioning this somewhere? | 14:45 |
| tyche | Only if it comes up in an article. | 14:46 |
| nhandler | It has been in a LOT of blog posts on Planet Debian, just not on Planet Ubuntu | 14:48 |
| tyche | I've no doubt. We're in a strange position, though. First, our thrust is Ubuntu (at least for the UWN). That doesn't stop us from reporting about others, but it's usually as how they impact or contrast with Ubuntu. | 14:49 |
| tyche | Second, we don't really editorialize. We've talked about it a few times (John, Nick and I) and felt that it would cause more problems than it would solve. | 14:50 |
| nhandler | I guess you might be right. Although this does impact Ubuntu since we also use GPG keys on Launchpad to verify identities | 14:51 |
| tyche | then get someone to blog about the joys of 2048 strong gpg keys. Hee hee | 14:52 |
| tyche | That's one other thing about the UWN. We don't usually put in entries or articles that we've generated ourselves. That way, no one can say that we're trying to blow our own horn or are using the UWN for our own purposes. | 14:54 |
| tyche | It's a thin line we walk. But a fun one. | 14:54 |
| nhandler | The mrooney article is up | 15:11 |
| tyche | Just read it (I've been busy in other areas. Sorry) Looks good | 15:20 |
| tyche | The only thing I might do with the Dustin Kirkland article is to bullet point the links. Yes, it might make it look larger, but I think they need to be isolated out more. | 15:20 |
| tyche | Want to handle that for me? | 15:21 |
| tyche | (I know, I said not to before. But on looking at it I realized my mistake) | 15:21 |
| nhandler | Sure, I can revert that change ;) | 15:23 |
| nhandler | Done | 15:24 |
| tyche | Just got back to looking. VERY good. Thanks. | 15:51 |
| tyche | You're catching on to this very quickly. I'm impressed. | 15:51 |
| nhandler | Thank you tyche | 15:53 |

| nhandler | tyche: How is the UWN coming along? Need any last-minute help? | 22:59 |
| tyche | Yea, I can't post to the forums. I have the file available, but am not authorized to add it. | 23:00 |
| tyche | And THANKS for asking. Hee hee | 23:00 |
| nhandler | tyche: I know a few moderators, send me the file and I'll get it added | 23:01 |
| tyche | OK. Do I have your address? I don't think so. PM me it, if you would please. | 23:02 |
| tyche | Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter 141 is published. A BIG thanks to the UWN Team for all it's support and help while johnc4510 was out of contact. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue141 | 23:52 |
