scott_evbrb again01:06
akgranerk:-)01:07
akgranerscott_ev, I just added some planet articles can you review them - the items in italics are direct quotes... you'll see what I am talking about - Feel free to re-work/re-word them if you want...01:27
akgranerscott_ev, one sec and I'll be out of the wiki :-)01:28
akgranersaving now :-)01:30
akgranerok I'm out of it now01:30
nigelbakgraner: you still want those meetings? they're not on wiki02:19
akgranernhandler, whenever you add the monthly reports let me know - I need to step away for a few minutes...02:19
akgranernigelb, if they aren't on the wiki don't worry about it02:20
akgranerif you look at ISSUE 196 you'll see what I am including now :-)02:20
nigelbaha, I went hunting for irc logs :)02:20
akgranernigelb, sorry if that was rude02:20
nigelbnah02:20
akgranerbrb in just a few  - I need to walk away from the computer for a minute :-)02:21
akgranerok deep breath - and a soda :-)02:38
akgranerI feel much better02:38
akgranernigelb, can I ask a favor or you?02:38
nigelbakgraner: ask away :)02:39
akgranerthanks - If I get you all the scripts we use for UWN can you put them into bzr?02:40
akgranerNathan suggested that last week - but I just now had time to sit down and go through the todo list02:40
nigelbsure02:41
akgranerok - I know there is work that needs to be done on them - but they work well enough for now  - I just need to get them someplace where they can be accounted for and stuff02:41
akgranerand that everyone is not using a rouge version and no one knows what is coming from where etc02:42
akgranerI'll do that next week :-) - thanks02:42
nhandlerakgraner: Let me do the report now. I ended up being out longer than I thought. And I would be glad to help you with the scripts if you need it02:44
akgranernhandler, great!  I'll let you and nigelb handle that02:45
akgranerI'll send you both the email tomorrow and you all can work it out and document it - if you don't mind :-)  cjohnston has been using the script as well so I will CC him as well02:46
nhandlerakgraner: Sure thing. I don't know if nigelb is a member of the UWN LP team, so he might not be able to actually push them. But I bet he could be a huge help with getting propper documentation for the scripts prepared02:48
akgranernhandler, ahh ok02:49
akgranerlet's look at all that next week02:49
akgranerno hurry - it's been this way for a while so what's another work02:49
akgranerweek02:49
akgranerI mean02:49
akgraner:-D02:49
nigelbnhandler: I can't push them, but we can work around it :)02:50
nhandlernigelb: Yeah. You can push to your personal branch and I can merge them into the team branch or something02:52
nigelbyup :)02:52
nhandlerakgraner: How many scripts are there? Do you think it would be worth creating a project on LP for them?02:52
nigelbnhandler: I'm +1 for project like we did for reviewers02:52
akgraner3 or 4 iirc02:52
nigelbjust a collection point would be nice, especially for bugs, etc02:53
akgranerI'll get everything to you all next week - there was 8 of them02:53
akgranerbut leann rewrote them for me02:53
nhandlerAlright. nigelb, we can talk it over a bit more once we see the scripts.02:53
nigelbnhandler: ok.  Just poke me over the week during your mornings02:54
akgranerI'll get them out to you all sometime in the am02:54
akgranerThank you all so much!02:54
nhandlernigelb: That might be a problem. I have a summer course that will kill my mornings. I'll be around Friday morning though. As well as in the afternoons/evenings02:54
nhandlerakgraner: Thanks a lot. Also, do we have proper licensing/copyright info for them ?02:54
nigelbnhandler: ok, around this time would be ok, but I'll have only little time (30 to 40 mins)02:55
akgranernhandler, thank you - I am not the expert on all that - you all are just let me know what you will need from me02:55
nhandlernigelb: That will be plenty.02:55
akgraner:-)02:55
nhandler:)02:55
scott_ev_sorry akgraner the parents got home from the cabin and I had to talk to them wahile03:07
akgranerscott_ev_, no worries :-)03:08
scott_ev_is there anything else?03:09
akgranerif you have time to proof now feel free :-)03:11
akgranerI had to take care of another issue that popped up03:11
akgranersooo...03:11
akgraner:-/03:11
akgranerscott_ev_, nhandler let me know when you are out of the wiki and I'll add a few more summaries :-)03:11
nhandlerakgraner: I'm not editing the wiki right now.03:12
nhandlerI'm fixing a few CammelCases, and then I'll add the reports03:12
scott_ev_I'm not in03:14
akgranerok :-) thanks03:17
akgranerahh ok03:17
akgranerI just want to add some links I need to drop the summaries in for03:17
akgranergive me 5 mins03:17
akgranersaving now :-)03:17
nhandlerakgraner: Can I add the reports? Or should I wait for you to fix the issue?03:18
akgranerI'm out now03:18
akgraneryou can add them :-)03:18
nhandlerakgraner: Done. I am sorry for getting them to you so late.03:23

akgranerthis is one of those issues - I still have a few more summaries :-)03:25
=== scott_ev_ is now known as scott_ev
akgranerIn case anyone asks - I'll publish the newsletter in a few hours  - I need a nap :-)06:07
YoBoYhi06:24
=== MTecknology is now known as MTeck-ricer
scott_evakgraner: OK, this is beyond rediculous.  Next week isn't going to be like this.  My contribution will be doing the meetings during the week like I should have these last 2 weeks.  Oh, and I saw the changes you or someone applied to my work.  That won't happen again now that I fully understand waht needs to happen.  So, be thinking about what else you'll assign me.07:38
=== ZachK_1 is now known as ZachK_
akgranerscott_ev, what are you talking about - I didn't change anything...11:09
akgranerscott_ev, no it's not beyond rediculous, if continue to things the scenes like little elves, then NO ONE will realize the herculean efforts it takes to get UWN out the door.  We can miss publishing by a few hours, but giving up weekends and not showing all the things that needs to happen, then more and more people will burn out...11:12
akgranerI would rather  - miss publishing by a few hours, then go back and review the product to ensure a quality product makes it out to the public.  That's all... wow!!!11:13
akgranerI am re-arranging things now and I'll have this out in an hour or so...  I'll also have the email asking for more volunteers going out to the list today...  I full expected things to hit some snags when we moved all UWN discussion to the -news channel and started making changes, but it will get better - I have no doubt :-D11:18
akgranerThe new edition of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available here:12:29
akgranerhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue19612:29
akgranergrrr and now I am beating myself up I left in 2 lines of ##   oh well it happens - give me about an hour folks and I'll send the info to the list about what help is needed where  :-/ :-D12:47
YoBoYhow to add things in "Upcoming Meetings and Events" section of the weekly newsletter ? this is open to the locoteams events/meetings/... ?13:17
akgranerYoBoY, did you see my messages earlier??  just making sure...  I was lagging14:35
YoBoYakgraner: after my question?14:36
YoBoYakgraner: your last sentense was "[13:47] <akgraner> grrr and now I am beating myself up I left in 2 lines of ##   oh well it happens - give me about an hour folks and I'll send the info to the list about what help is needed where  :-/ :-D"14:40
akgranerYoBoY, ahh ok - sorry for the delay in answering my mom stopped by with vegetables ...14:45
akgranerso to answer your questions about the upcoming events14:45
akgraner it's pulled from the Classroom Calendar and the Fridge Calendar14:45
akgraner is there an event you think should go there?14:45
akgranerAll LoCo team information will be moved to a LoCo Calendar in the upcoming weeks - just so you know :-)14:45
akgranerthat was what I posted earlier that didn't make it to the channel...:-/14:46
YoBoYok thanks :) i asked becaus DC-team events are listed in this section, but a loco calendar is better ^^, the only event i should think about who feat in this calendar is our future locoteam meeting at the end of the month, but it's not really important14:54
akgranerYoBoY, yeah - the DC team has had their meeting on their for a while- so once we have the other calendar in place we'll move it from there and send out messages to the other loco teams etc14:57
akgranerok the wiki for Issue 197 has been created - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue19715:10
akgranerI'll start adding links this afternoon :-)15:10
akgranerscott_ev, will add the upcoming meetings15:11
akgranerPlease don't edit a section for someone without talking to that someone15:11
akgranerthanks:-)15:11
=== MTeck-ricer is now known as MTecknology
akgranerThe reason I say that is - if things get fixed but no-one talks to the person who has taken ownership of that part of the newsletter - then it creates frustration on so many levels.. I know I would want someone to nudge me, so I could at least know why something wasn't right - :-D  Hope that makes sense and thanks in advance everyone!15:13
akgranerhighvoltage, are you still up for writing some summaries this week?15:14
akgranerholstein, Pendulum and nigelb are  you all up for some summary writing as well?15:14
highvoltageakgraner: I remember I agreed to doing so and got the Google Doc from you, but I need some guidance on which parts need work/summarizing, I didn't do any last week15:17
highvoltageakgraner: but would be glad to do so this week!15:17
akgranerhighvoltage, yep getting all that ready now :-)  Thank you!15:19
highvoltageakgraner: great!15:19
akgranerif we can work during the week  - I don't think we'll need the googledoc, but it's a safe place to put things and work on things outside the wiki - so I'll keep it active for now if that's ok with everyone?15:20
akgranerhighvoltage, if you could summarize the planet section as I add links there that would be great.  - I'll add a couple of links their today and if you want you can write the summaries and ask me questions etc...unless there is another section you would rather work on?15:21
Pendulumakgraner: yep, I can do work during the week mostly :-)15:21
highvoltageakgraner: well, I follow the planit avidly so that would be perfect15:22
akgranerPendulum, awesome!  still ok for the blogoshere section?15:22

akgranerhttps://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en21:42
akgranerwhere do the days go?21:42
akgranerwow21:42
highvoltageakgraner: sheesh, I ask myself that every few weeks when I realise that a few weeks have passed already instead of 3 days21:42
scott_evakgraner: I'm glad that my section was edited so that now I see how it really shuld look22:48
scott_evI didn't know that I had to make the time conversions to UTC if they hadn't done it in the fridge calendar22:49
akgranerscott_ev, the fridge calendar is in UTC23:17
akgranernow I am confused :-)23:17
akgranerbut that is easily done these days  - hehe23:18
scott_evOK< then all soomeone did was add UTC to where I had am/pm23:23
scott_evsimple enough23:23
scott_evit was a minimal change and unnecessary except that it's obviously the prefered format for the newslettet23:24
akgraneryeppers :-)23:24
akgranerscott_ev, I left the meetings on the google doc since some are re-occurring23:24
akgranerI thought it might be easier to just double check them but you do whatever is easier for you :-)23:25
scott_evon another note:  there i no  way that you should be working past early afternoon on the uwn23:26
