[17:33] <popey> johnc4510: going to mention the announcement of Lucid Lynx = 10.04 in the LWN ? :)

[17:35] <popey> (although they got the rev no wrong)
[20:10] <nhandler> popey / johnc4510: It might be better to wait until sabdfl sends out his email officially revealing the name to the community before mentioning it in the UWN
[20:10] <popey> better for whom?
[20:11] <popey> given uwn frequenly links to news and opinion pieces..
[20:13] <tyche> popey: UWN ALWAYS links to news and opinion pieces.  It also always links to Security and Updates.  It also always links to interesting blogs.  So what's your point?
[20:14] <tyche> One thing UWN DOES try to do is to verify information - for example, does it come from a reputable source or is it just rumor?
[20:15] <popey> what, like everyone who saw sabdfl announce it at atlanta linux fest?
[20:16] <tyche> Got a video of him saying it?
[20:17] <popey> not personally
[20:17] <tyche> Then it's still rumor
[20:20] <popey> define reputable source?
[20:20] <tyche> Mark Shuttleworth
[20:20] <popey> he's the only source you trust for this?
[20:21] <tyche> He's the one that makes or approves the names.
[20:22] <popey> so even if everyone reports that they saw _him_ say it, its not good enough till he posts to ubuntu-announce or his blog?
[20:22] <tyche> Everyone could have misconstrued what he said.  I wouldn't stick MY neck out for something that might be a rumor.

[20:23] <popey> "Its official Ubuntu 10.04 is called Lucid Lynx announced by Mark Shuttlewoth at #atllinuxfest"
[20:24] <popey> think he'd risk his job over it?
[20:24] <tyche> Then I'll pass it by johnc4510, and/or discuss it with the other editors
[20:25] <popey> great
[20:26] <tyche> popey: What you probably don't see is the discussion that goes on about links that we receive that are proposed for the UWN.  Nor the times we bounce links for one reason or another.
[20:27] <wildnfree> Damn! I was hoping for "Loopy Llama" :-(
[20:27] <popey> Not sure why you're telling me that.
[20:27] <tyche> There's a lot of work that goes into putting it together.  And we try to be careful of what we do.  To us, it's a responsibility, much like a job.  We just don't get paid for it.  Our "pay" is in the satisfaction we get from doing a good, responsible job.
[20:28] <popey> ok
[20:28] <popey> Do you see where all I did was post a link and a smiley?
[20:28] <popey> and got an (IMO) quite rude response?
[20:29] <wildnfree> popey: A bit like the response you just gave me?
[20:29] <popey> i wasnt talking to you wildnfree
[20:29] <popey> my "not sure why" was in answer to tyche
[20:29] <tyche> You posted a blog link, then pushed it.  I can't OK something just on the strength of a blog that may not be factual.  Not about something like this.
[20:29] <wildnfree> Aah!
[20:29] <popey> I appreciate that, which is why I went looking for more evidence
[20:30] <popey> anyway, no need to continue beating this dead horse.
[20:30] <popey> I appreciate you have standards to keep, I wasnt trying to suggest you dont
[20:30] <tyche> Yes, and you gave me something.  Whether we can link to twitter or not is something that needs to be discussed.
[20:30] <popey> and wasnt suggesting you should take _my_ word for it
[20:30] <tyche> OK
[20:31] <tyche> Believe it or not, I'm not trying to give you a hard time, either.
[20:31] <popey> This experience does leave me with the feeling that I shouldn't bother posting links here, rather than that I should research them better.
[20:31] <popey> I doesnt feel that way.
[20:32]  * popey goes to make food
[20:32] <popey> hope the UWN goes well.
[20:32] <tyche> I'm sorry you feel that way.  Go enjoy your food.
