greg-gquick question, for the Membership review board meeting summary, I still need to write that up and send it, when is the cut-off for this week's UWN?17:15
greg-g(I ask because there are other life things happening today that need to get done, and I'm trying to prioritize)17:16
Pendulumgreg-g: I think we're aiming for 5PM EDT17:24
greg-gPendulum: cool, I'll have it in before then, thanks!17:27

internalkernelshould I edit the Gdoc instead?18:05
akgranerholstein, are you working In other news?18:05
akgranerinternalkernel, nope you can add stuff there... the reason I use the google doc is so stuff can be written someone else and just dropped into the wiki  - but it's ok - I have other stuff to summarize - just let me know when you are out :-)18:06
akgranersome where else - not someone - jeez...18:06

akgranerawesome - that leaves in the Press if someone wants to work on those18:16
akgranerinternalkernel, yep - do do that or use gedit as well18:16
akgranerwhat ever works for you18:16
internalkerneltomboy is awesome...18:16
akgranerhowever I do put it in wiki mark-up so it's easier to just drop in18:16

akgranerholstein, thanks!18:19
akgranerhighvoltage, feel up to writing some summaries?18:19
highvoltageakgraner: I've been thinking about it all day!!!18:22
akgranerhehe :-)18:22
highvoltageakgraner: but have been doing all kinds of other stuff...18:22
akgranergotcha...18:22
highvoltageakgraner: what's the ETA on this week's UWN? would I still have some time left?18:23
akgraner5pm EDT for publishing18:23
highvoltageok that's another 3 hours or so, cool18:23
akgranerso the In the Press section needs some attention18:23
akgranerhighvoltage, more like 2.5 hours - hopefully it's published by 5pm :-)18:23
highvoltageakgraner: how does that work, do I just check my feeds and things like Google news for interesting stories and then write short summaries with links to them?18:25
akgranerhighvoltage, well for today I already went through feeds and added links :-)18:25
akgranerhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue19818:25
akgranerthey just need summarizing18:26
highvoltagegreat, so I literally just have to summarize18:26
Pendulumakgraner: ITB is done and in the wiki and I am out of the wiki18:26
highvoltageakgraner: do I do it on the wiki or is there a google doc again somewhere where I have to add it?18:26
highvoltage(or even better, gobby?)18:26
akgranerbut hopefully as people get more comfortable with their areas - people will be adding links and summaries - but it's a learning process for everyone18:26
akgranerhighvoltage, I would just grab the titles and links and write them on the googledoc - or tomboy or gedit what every works for you18:27
akgranerthat way you aren't in the wiki for a long period of time18:27
akgranerPendulum, thanks!18:27
akgranerhighvoltage, I also have an eitherpad open if you want to use that as well18:27
highvoltageakgraner: good idea18:28
akgranerhere you can see what I am doing ...18:28
akgranerhttp://ietherpad.com/UWN18:28
akgranerbut do it which ever way is easiest for you to get it done18:28
akgranerPendulum, once I get the LoCo and GCN added can you start your awesome proofing18:29
akgraner:-)18:29
Pendulumakgraner: yep, just let me know when18:30
akgranerI don't think we can ever have to many eyes proofing it as we all notice different things18:30
akgranerPendulum, thanks!18:30
akgranerbtw I am in the wiki now :-)18:31
akgraneroh also - make sure you check Trivial Change and Remove trailing whitespace from each line as well as add in the comment on the wiki what you added or did18:35
akgranerif you don't check trivial change then people like dholbach and others will end up will a million emails every SUnday18:36
akgranerPendulum, it's saving now..18:38
akgranerS-L-O-W-L-Y18:38
akgranerok I'm out now18:39
greg-gjust sent the email to the ubuntu-news-teams list18:46
internalkernelcan I edit?18:47
internalkernelyes I can...18:47
internalkernelsaving....18:50
internalkernelcool, planet is done... akgraner18:51
internalkernelgotta feed the little one... bbiab18:51
akgranerawesome!18:51
akgranergreg-g, ok - I'll add it to General Community news then :-)18:52
akgranerinternalkernel, you can add to wiki or google doc and I'll drop it in - which ever you want to do18:52
akgranerjust added the In other News summaries - waiting for the wiki to save now19:08
highvoltageakgraner: sheesh, just got *one* summary written (although I only started about 15 minutes ago)19:13
highvoltageakgraner: I have more appreciation for this kind of work now :)19:13
akgranerno worries :-)  the more you do it the easier it gets :-)19:13
akgranerI have errors  - then have to go back a clean up :-)  or I miss something that someone else sees that's why we ask everyone to take a moment to proof things as well :-)19:16
highvoltagearticles that use bullet points seem much easier to summarize19:17
akgranerthat they are :-)19:21
akgranerI'm in the wiki right now - adding the ubuntu member announcement one sec and I'll be out of it19:21
akgranersaving  the wiki now -19:26
akgranerok and I am out19:28
akgraner(of the wiki)19:28
highvoltageakgraner: In the Press section saved, I'll get better with this with each week, so feedback is welcome :)19:43
akgranerawesome! :-)19:44
* akgraner goes to look19:44
akgranerwow the wiki is really slow today19:49
akgranerhighvoltage, the in the press section is tricky sometimes - but if you look at say issue 180 to 198 - and look at where the articles have been pulled from - as well as places you know of you should be able to check daily and add content19:50
akgranerit's always better to have and not need all the links than to need and not have any19:50
akgranerOk so if everyone can start proofing - I am going to grab the raw information from the wiki and add to the etherpad so we all aren't waiting on each other  - and can make changes at the same time - so if you are editing  - edit on the etherpad  one sec and I'll have it all there19:53
akgranerHere is the link - http://ietherpad.com/UWN19:54
akgranerPendulum, did you see anything you thought needed changing?19:55
Pendulumakgraner: looking at it now, I was just waiting for most stuff to be up20:00
akgranerit's up and I just copied it all to the etherpad - so people could edit at the same time20:01
Pendulumnope, onlything I noticed was that I forgot to put my name on the list of contributors, but anyone can do that20:06
popeyakgraner: just edited the etherpad a bit20:06
popeyaround loco council20:07
