| akgraner | did UWN go out yet? | 00:37 |
|---|---|---|
| nhandler | Hmm...I don't recall seeing a UWN for this week. johnc4510 tyche: ^^^ | 00:56 |
| tyche | akgraner and I are discussing it, now. | 00:56 |
| nhandler | :) | 00:58 |
| akgraner | nhandler, I think UWN is ready to go can you push it to the Fridge? | 01:39 |
| akgraner | nhandler, yep is ready just went to -news | 01:41 |
| akgraner | The current issue of Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter Issue 176 is available: | 02:02 |
| akgraner | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue176 | 02:02 |
| nhandler | Yeah, I can put it on the fridge. But wasn't there a script that johnc4510 normally used to format it? | 02:25 |
| akgraner | nhandler, see pm pls :-) | 02:29 |
| akgraner | nixternal, sorry didn't mean to hit you in pm oops :-( | 02:29 |
| nixternal | akgraner: haha, that's alright, as I have no clue what you were talking about :) | 03:05 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Alright, thanks | 04:30 |
| nhandler | Alright, the UWN is on the Fridge. I also sent an email to ubuntu-news-team@ . For the fridge post, I stuck with johnc4510's template, but I did notice several mistakes in it (I'm not sure where the best place to make note of this would be) | 04:50 |
| tyche | nhandler: We're going to make you proof it before it goes out. At LEAST 3 sets of eyes went over it. What did we miss? | 05:04 |
| nhandler | tyche: It isn't the wiki version. It is only the Fridge version. Read through http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1966 and you should see what I mean | 05:07 |
| tyche | Looking | 05:08 |
| tyche | The node you sent me to was for UWN175, and was sent by johnc4510. This is the current one: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue176 | 05:09 |
| nhandler | tyche: I know. But he uses the same template for all of his fridge posts. Notice the first and last sentences | 05:10 |
| tyche | They look the same to me, except for issue number and date in the first sentence, which I would expect. Especially since it's taken from the Wiki template. | 05:13 |
| nhandler | tyche: The first sentence is grammatically incorrect. It would be fine without the "Welcome to" or without the "is available" but having them both is wrong. The last sentence states the license twice | 05:16 |
| nhandler | (the second issue could also be fixed on the wiki) | 05:17 |
| tyche | Sentence 1, replace the comma with a period. | 05:18 |
| tyche | I'll give you the last sentence on grammer. But the first one is a punctuation error. | 05:19 |
| tyche | Actually, I think the last sentence may also be an HTML error, as in johnc4510 isn't comfortable with HTML tags. | 05:20 |
| tyche | Even wiki HTML tags. :-) | 05:20 |
| tyche | Here's how I did it on my blog: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License. | 05:22 |
| tyche | And the whole thing, on my blog, is a hyperlink | 05:23 |
| nhandler | :) | 05:26 |
| tyche | I'll see if I can change them in the wiki template. But don't hold your breath, I'm only an editor, not chief editor. | 05:32 |
| tyche | Ah, I see why the first sentence is messed up. In the wiki it's right, but does not have the words "is now available". johnc4510 simply took the first sentence and added the words to it without looking at the punctuation. | 05:34 |
| tyche | There's nothing I can do about that except let him know, if I ever get to talk to him again. | 05:35 |
| tyche | Last sentence, in the wiki, is: "Except where otherwise noted, content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License", followed by the CC logo, and that followed by the link. | 05:36 |
| tyche | See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/IssueTemplate | 05:36 |
| tyche | So the observed errors are not something under my control. | 05:37 |
| nhandler | tyche: I think he said he has a script to prepare the UWN for the Frdige. We just need to poke him to a) release the script and b) fix these issues in it ;) | 05:38 |
| tyche | It's talking to him that's rough. The only time I see him now is on Sunday morning in the UWN. | 05:46 |
| tyche | And things are crazy enough, then. | 05:46 |
| akgraner | tyche, I guess we got it out the door, thanks to nick and nhandler :-) thanks nhandler! | 11:17 |
| jamalta | akgraner: this the right place? | 14:25 |
| jamalta | hmm.. looks like it | 14:25 |
| akgraner | yeppers | 14:25 |
| akgraner | what's up | 14:25 |
| jamalta | So, whenever I get a UWN in my inbox, I always try to look for a link to the website. I prefer the structure on the website for some odd reason, so I wanted to suggest if it was possible to start adding it. | 14:26 |
| jamalta | I think it would be helpful for people to quickly get a link of it | 14:26 |
| jamalta | In case they want to send the link to someone, blog about it, post it on a microblog, etc. | 14:26 |
| jamalta | What do you think? | 14:26 |
| akgraner | I'll bring that up to the editor and see what we can do to add to the template | 14:27 |
| jamalta | akgraner: thanks! :) | 14:27 |
| akgraner | but which website are you referring to? | 14:27 |
| jamalta | The link to that issue, for example, the one from last week https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue176 | 14:27 |
| tyche | You can always reach the current issue with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Current | 14:28 |
| akgraner | yep that is the wiki | 14:28 |
| jamalta | tyche: Ah, I did not know that | 14:28 |
| akgraner | jamalta, there is also an RSS feed | 14:28 |
| tyche | Apparently, a lot of people don't. | 14:28 |
| jamalta | hehe :) I guess that works too | 14:28 |
| jamalta | Thanks! | 14:28 |
| akgraner | tyche, can we add that to the template | 14:29 |
| tyche | I think that would be something to talk to johnc4510 about. | 14:30 |
| akgraner | tyche, of course I guess I was asking more - it is possible to do that | 14:34 |
| akgraner | not to just go ahead and ad it without talking to him | 14:35 |
| akgraner | :-/ | 14:35 |
| tyche | I don't see a problem with adding it. I'm just not sure he wouldn't feel it was a duplication of effort. | 14:43 |

| johnc4510 | nhandler: ping | 17:06 |
| johnc4510 | there is no script for putting the UWN on the fridge | 17:07 |
