PiciHi! A user in #ubuntu just asked why the UWN wasn't syndicating on planet ubuntu anymore.  I did some digging around and it looks like the UWN posts on the Fridge aren't being tagged with 'PlanetUbuntu', which would put them on the rss feed that gets syndicated to the planet.00:39
nhandlerakgraner: ^^^00:40
PiciAlso, I'm not sure if this is under your control, but the list of tags for each post on the fridge is under each story in such a place where it looks like they actually belong to the next story.00:41
nhandlerPici: We are moving to Wordpress shortly, so that should get fixed in the transition00:41
Picinhandler: great.  I usually read stuff from my feed reader, so I hadn't noticed it until now.00:42
pleia2the PlanetUbuntu thing is an oversight on some recent posts, thanks for mentioning it, Pici00:47
Picipleia2: sure thing00:47
pleia2and it looks like the latest issue hasn't made it to planet yet at all (it was just published 3 hours ago)00:48

zkriesseakgraner: ping02:09
nhandlerakgraner: Can you s/Freenode/freenode/ in the ~ubuntu-fridge team description?02:13
scott_evakgraner: after I do upcomming meetins and evenrs should I be learning somthing else?  Or do you have everything covered?02:57
scott_evnhandler: do you have a min or two to look at my wiki to give me any pointers if it needs any changes> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/j.scott.gwin02:59
scott_evI would really like to make it past committee the first time if at all possible.03:00
zkriessescott_ev: hey i don't think she's there...this for ubuntu membership?03:00
scott_evyes03:01
zkriesseI'll take a look...wiki is my big thing03:01
zkriesseif you'd like of course03:01
nhandlerscott_ev: Nice wiki. Remember for the Team Memberships area that it is quality, not quantity03:01
scott_evI think it's looking good, but another set of eyes is always good03:01
scott_evtrue enough03:01
nhandlerscott_ev: Focus on emphasizing the quality of the contributions you make on those teams instead of the number of teams03:01
scott_evnh, OK, I see, there's plenty of stuff I can asdd03:02
scott_evthanks for thie time03:02
zkriessescott_ev: I agree with nhandler in the fact that you need a bit more description while thinning down the list of actual memberships03:02
zkriesseIf they want to know more they can always ask...which gives you the opportunity to talk about what you do...if you put it all up front then they probably wont ask you a thing...03:03
scott_evok, I actually don't do much if anything tangible with some of those teams because of time restraints03:03
zkriessescott_ev: I just went through the process myself so memories are still fresh03:03
nhandlerscott_ev: Also try and diversify the testimonials you have. Maybe add one from someone who can talk about your bug work03:03
scott_evgreat pointws03:03
zkriesseAlso I'd try and get a couple more testimonials for other areas in which you're involved...03:04
scott_evnhandler: I used to do tona og bug work and had !6500 karma and dropped out to focus more on my LoCo03:04
scott_evok, makes sense03:04
scott_eva problem of mine is I have a a hard time saying no ans get streatched out too fqat03:06

newz2000Hi, is there still a drive to switch to wordpress? I'm just curious how things are progressing15:49
pleia2newz2000: yes, but I'm not sure where things are with that17:55
newz2000pleia2: ok. There's a draft of the new community wordpress theme with the new branding17:56
newz2000maybe later this week we'll have something usable17:56
newz2000then we can built a prototype site and begin testing imports17:56
pleia2great :)17:56
newz2000should we aim for the end of the month going live?17:56
pleia2I think at UDS it was proposed that canonical deliver a test fridge system in july, we get to try it out, and launch for real sometime after that17:57
pleia2but the time table may have changed, I am not sure17:57
newz2000I*'ll talk to my boss to confirm the times I mentioned. He's interested in gettign this moving though17:58
pleia2good, we are too :)17:59
pleia2akgraner: is someone working on the fridge post? I can take a stab at it if not, Pici was in here yesterday ask about it18:02
pleia2for UWN18:02
akgranerpleia2, hey!18:26
pleia2hello :)18:26
akgranerhey newz200018:26
akgranerpleia2, I meant to get up early and post to the Fridge - but as you can see18:26
akgranerso if no-one has I'll go ahead18:26
pleia2akgraner: nope, no one has18:27
newz2000hey akgraner18:27
akgranerI'll do that now... :-)18:27
akgranerpleia2, yep those timetables are the ones that were set at UDS18:27
akgranermid-july with a 3 week test18:28
pleia2akgraner: so we're just waiting on canonical to set things up, right?18:28
akgranernods18:28
akgranerwe want to post to it  - and allow original content (peer reviewed) to also be allowed18:29
pleia2akgraner: don't mean to be a nag, but can you add the PlanetUbuntu tag to that fridge post?19:37
akgranerpleia2, we send it out on personal blogs - about to send it now19:39
pleia2it's been somewhat inconsistant, and Pici's comment yesterday was from someone who was disappointed in not seeing it hit planet19:39
akgranerone sec and I will give you the reason behind it19:39
pleia2ah, any reason we do it that way?19:39
pleia2k19:39
pleia2some of the fridge posts have PlanetUbuntu tag, some don't19:39
akgranerI'm also going to blog about the changes19:40
pleia2s/fridge/UWN fridge19:40
akgranernods19:40
akgranerok it's on the fridge and planet putting on the the Forums next19:58
akgranerI am going to record some howto's this week19:58
akgranerpleia2, we can tag it with the planet and it will go there  - it already gets added in two places on the Forums when we send it out - which is fine19:59
akgranerhowever, letting the Editor-In-Chief add it to the planet seems to have been the tradition to let people know both who the editor is and just a perk.. but I could be wrong and have nothing against changing it and letting it come from The Fridge...20:00
pleia2ah, it's no big deal, it's just that personal blogs go away over time, fridge links stick around and helps prevent hit-by-a-bus access problems20:07
nhandlerakgraner: I believe John used to do both: post it to the planet via the fridge and via his blog.20:29
zkriessescott_ev: ping20:42
akgranernhandler, no worries :-) that's an easy fix to do then from now on :-)22:22
nhandler:)22:22
akgranerI am working on getting all the howtos to the wikis this week as well as making a couple of videos...22:24
akgranerscott_ev, per your question earlier - yep I'd like to show you a couple more things  - if you don't mind23:01
