| james_w | I'm interested, but wasn't going to ask as you addressed someone specifically :-) | 22:12 |

| wildnfree | andv: would you like me to write it up properly and concisely and email it to you? | 23:05 |

| andv | subscribe here | 23:07 |
| * wildnfree starts running through subscription form | 23:07 | |
| wildnfree | andv: You will have to wait until tomorrow for the article because the mailserver I use has been playing up all day and is broken again just now. :-( | 23:11 |
| andv | wildnfree, take your time | 23:12 |
| andv | after sending your article you'll start receiving some feedbacks | 23:13 |
| wildnfree | yes? | 23:13 |

| wildnfree | andv: what do I do then? | 23:14 |
| andv | fix if there is something wrong | 23:14 |

| andv | with it | 23:15 |
| wildnfree | andv: then what happens? | 23:15 |
| andv | it will get added on the fridge or ubuntu weekly news | 23:16 |
| wildnfree | andv: I've never quite understood what the fridge is? | 23:17 |
| andv | http://fridge.ubuntu.com | 23:17 |
| andv | wildnfree, start having a look at news team wiki pages: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam | 23:18 |
| andv | wildnfree, get started with those documents | 23:19 |
| * wildnfree reading avidly :-) | 23:20 | |
| andv | ;) | 23:21 |
| wildnfree | andv: Should I apply to join the team on launchpad? | 23:22 |
| andv | which team? | 23:22 |
| wildnfree | ubuntu-news | 23:23 |
| wildnfree | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-news | 23:23 |
| andv | it is an open team for every new contributor | 23:23 |
| andv | who wanna help out | 23:23 |
| andv | so ues | 23:23 |
| wildnfree | andv: I just found lots of templates for artwork :-) | 23:26 |
| andv | :) | 23:27 |
| wildnfree | andv: if I apply for full membership of Ubuntu - do they take account of all the non-ubuntu activities I have doen such as my work on Wikipedia and the LBC forum etc? | 23:31 |
| andv | wildnfree, nope | 23:32 |
| andv | wildnfree, ubuntu-specific contributions only | 23:32 |
| wildnfree | andv: I thought so. I will have to find plenty of things Ubuntu to do then, but I am not giving up the Wikipedia work :-) | 23:33 |
| andv | wildnfree, you don't have to give up your wikipedia work to contribute to ubuntu | 23:34 |
| andv | :) | 23:34 |
| andv | no one will ask you to give up anything | 23:34 |
| andv | they will encourage you instead | 23:35 |
| wildnfree | andv: Is there any Wikipedia work that Ubuntu needs doing? Because I am getting a dab hand at Wikipedia with publishing media with the correct licensing and cross referencing and validating things with correct references etc | 23:35 |
| andv | wildnfree, don't know, but I guess yes | 23:35 |
| andv | wildnfree, there are plenty obsolete pages | 23:36 |
| andv | which would require some love | 23:36 |
| andv | but you should ask someone else | 23:36 |
| wildnfree | andv: any idea who or where I should ask if Ubuntu needs Wikipedia skills | 23:36 |
| andv | maybe to the wiki team (subteam of the ubuntu-docs one, I guess) | 23:36 |
| wildnfree | andv: thanks! | 23:36 |
| andv | np | 23:37 |
| andv | you'll find all informations on the wikis | 23:37 |
| andv | it's a good way to start finding out what to search and where | 23:37 |
| andv | you'll need it for your next contributions | 23:37 |
| andv | e.g finding a correct wiki page / doc regarding a particular team's informations | 23:38 |
| wildnfree | andv: My mail server just worked for a moment so I am now subscribed to the ML :-) | 23:39 |
| andv | :) | 23:41 |
| wildnfree | andv: many thanks for your help. I am going to save this transcript now and then go to bed. Good Night :-) | 23:41 |
| andv | good night | 23:42 |
| andv | and np | 23:42 |
