[22:05] <wildnfree> tyche: Hello! I have some exciting news for you relating to Ubuntu :-)
[22:10] <wildnfree> james_w: Hello1 do you work on #ubuntu-news?
[22:10] <james_w> hi wildnfree
[22:10] <james_w> not really, no
[22:11] <wildnfree> james_w: They are not like a real news office here. In any normal newsroom if you yell "hot news" everyone wants to know what it is ;-)
[22:12] <james_w> :-)
[22:12] <james_w> I'm interested, but wasn't going to ask as you addressed someone specifically :-)
[22:15] <wildnfree> Tristan Jaimes (alias TJ and IntuitiveNipple - Ubuntu member) has joined the OpenShot development team to help package OpenShot video editor properly for Ubuntu.
[22:16]  * wildnfree waits for horde of reporters and editors to descend upon her! ;-)
[22:18] <wildnfree> @wiki editor

[23:05] <andv> nice, you should start writing an article about that then
[23:05] <wildnfree> andv: would you like me to write it up properly and concisely and email it to you?
[23:06] <andv> I would prefer you to send it to the whole ML
[23:06] <andv> so everyone can add a comment / suggestion on it
[23:06] <wildnfree> andv: That is what I meant ;-)
[23:06] <wildnfree> andv: what is the official email address to send it to?
[23:07] <andv> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-news-team
[23:07] <andv> subscribe here
[23:07]  * wildnfree starts running through subscription form
[23:11] <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. :-(
[23:12] <andv> wildnfree, take your time
[23:13] <andv> after sending your article you'll start receiving some feedbacks
[23:13] <wildnfree> yes?
[23:14] <andv> (hopefully yes9
[23:14] <andv> * (hopefully yes)
[23:14] <wildnfree> andv: what do I do then?
[23:14] <andv> fix if there is something wrong
[23:14] <andv> improve your work if neede
[23:14] <andv> * needed
[23:15] <andv> until a team member / more team members are satisfied
[23:15] <andv> with it
[23:15] <wildnfree> andv: then what happens?
[23:16] <andv> it will get added on the fridge or ubuntu weekly news
[23:17] <wildnfree> andv: I've never quite understood what the fridge is?
[23:17] <andv> http://fridge.ubuntu.com
[23:18] <andv> wildnfree, start having a look at news team wiki pages: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam
[23:19] <andv> wildnfree, get started with those documents
[23:20]  * wildnfree reading avidly :-)
[23:21] <andv> ;)
[23:22] <wildnfree> andv: Should I apply to join the team on launchpad?
[23:22] <andv> which team?
[23:23] <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
[23:26] <wildnfree> andv: I just found lots of templates for artwork :-)
[23:27] <andv> :)
[23:31] <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?
[23:32] <andv> wildnfree, nope
[23:32] <andv> wildnfree, ubuntu-specific contributions only
[23:33] <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 :-)
[23:34] <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
[23:35] <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
[23:36] <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!
[23:37] <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
[23:38] <andv> e.g finding a correct wiki page / doc regarding a particular team's informations
[23:39] <wildnfree> andv: My mail server just worked for a moment so I am now subscribed to the ML :-)
[23:41] <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 :-)
[23:42] <andv> good night
[23:42] <andv> and np
