[00:23] <zkriesse> akgraner: you busy?
[05:23] <akgraner> zkriesse, just walked back in the door - what's up?
[05:23] <zkriesse> akgraner: well the other day you had wiki work for me?
[05:23] <zkriesse> akgraner: just wondering what that "Work" is
[05:24] <akgraner> zkriesse, some information I have on some google docs need to be moved to a wiki
[05:25] <zkriesse> links and i'll get onit
[05:26] <akgraner> zkriesse, great!  one needs to link from the checklist
[05:26] <zkriesse> "one" and "checklist" being?
[05:27] <akgraner> zkriesse, give me just a sec and I'll get that for you...
[05:27] <zkriesse> k
[05:29] <akgraner> I started working on this page  - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/EditingPolicies
[05:30] <akgraner> but this page - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/EditingPolicies/HowToEdit
[05:30] <akgraner> needs the information added from the following googledoc
[05:32] <akgraner> https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AtKZelXU8Y2LdFFxY0RhLVdaZU9xNk5zdTZIbFEyQVE&hl=en
[05:32] <akgraner> which is the howto from the checklist
[05:34] <zkriesse> so https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/EditingPolicies/HowToEdit needs the google info stuff
[05:35] <zkriesse> right?
[05:36] <akgraner> yep
[05:36] <zkriesse> ok I'll get on it soon
[05:36] <akgraner> I'll clean up the policies one next week some time
[05:36] <akgraner> I just wanted to get the checklist on there - then the howto for the checklist
[05:37] <akgraner> I'm also going to add some videos - on how to publish it as well - but life seems to get in the way of my Ubuntu Habit :-)
[05:37] <zkriesse> Ok
[05:38] <akgraner> well I gotta get some sleep so I can write some summaries and see what all needs to be trimmed for issue 198... see you all in the am...
[05:38] <akgraner> (well am for me that is :-)  )
[05:38] <zkriesse> akgraner: same here
[05:38] <zkriesse> akgraner: it's almost midnight for me
[07:06] <scott_ev> akgraner: I didn't get my section done today, but worry not - I'll get it done tomorrow without fail.
[12:35] <Pendulum> akgraner: do you have any idea who does the U1 blog?
[14:23] <Pendulum> akgraner: also, when you're around I want to talk to you about one of the things in ITB as I'm not sure it's appropriate for UWN
[14:59] <akgraner> Pendulum, I'm here for a few :-)
[14:59] <akgraner> I know there are a couple things that need to be pulled
[15:03] <akgraner> Pendulum, I am heading back to my house now should be there in about an hour....  which article in ITB were you thinking shouldn't be there?
[15:16] <akgraner> internalkernel, can you work on some ITP or ION summaries?
[15:16] <internalkernel> a bit later in the day I can for sure... I have some running around to do at the moment... when is the deadline?
[15:17] <akgraner> I am shooting for 5pm EST
[15:19] <internalkernel> ok, I need to drop off the lady and put the little one down for a nap - when she's sleeping I'll knock that out...
[15:21] <akgraner> thanks!
[15:21] <akgraner> I am on my way home from Charlotte - so I'll be knocking stuff out as well'
[16:15] <scott_ev> akgraner: I'm here. a little late but here and I'll have mypart done beforeya know it
[17:15] <greg-g> quick 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?
[17:16] <greg-g> (I ask because there are other life things happening today that need to get done, and I'm trying to prioritize)
[17:24] <Pendulum> greg-g: I think we're aiming for 5PM EDT
[17:27] <greg-g> Pendulum: cool, I'll have it in before then, thanks!
[17:39] <akgraner> greg-g yep 5pm EDT publish time...  - just ping when you send it to the list  and we'll get it added
[17:41] <greg-g> akgraner: awesome, writing it now
[17:41] <akgraner> thanks!
[17:46] <internalkernel> akgraner: is it me or does the GDoc for UWN seem empty... I don't see any of the posts I had put up earlier this week...
[17:46] <akgraner> internalkernel, I moved them to the wiki
[17:46] <akgraner> :-)
[17:47] <internalkernel> oh lord... scared the bahjeezus out of me
[17:47] <akgraner> hehe
[17:47] <akgraner> :-)
[17:47] <akgraner> always check both places :-)
[17:47] <akgraner> I am going to work on the loco section summaries.. anyone wanna take the planet?
[17:49] <internalkernel> I'll start there after I call my pops...
[17:56] <akgraner> I can't get to this link - can someone else try just so I can make sure it's not just me - http://www.screenage.de/blog/2010/06/16/ubuntu-berlin-linuxtag-2010-pickings/
[17:57] <zkriesse> akgraner: it's broken
[17:57] <akgraner> just double checking :-)
[17:57] <akgraner> thank you!
[17:58] <zkriesse> yup
[18:04] <akgraner> internalkernel, let me know when you are out of the wiki please :-)
[18:05] <internalkernel> should I edit the Gdoc instead?
[18:05] <akgraner> holstein, are you working In other news?
[18:06] <akgraner> internalkernel, 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] <akgraner> some where else - not someone - jeez...
[18:06] <akgraner> typing fail :-)
[18:06]  * zkriesse will be right back
[18:06]  * zkriesse restarting KDE
[18:07] <akgraner> I've got the General Community News and LoCo Summaries ready to go in- looking at the LP section now
[18:07] <internalkernel> ok, I'll grab the links and create summaries and drop them in later then too... didn't realize I'd locked others out when I editied it...
[18:07] <Pendulum> akgraner: should I stick stuff directly into the wiki or is there a google doc?
[18:07] <internalkernel> and I'm out...
[18:07] <akgraner> Pendulum, you can put them in the wiki
[18:08] <akgraner> internalkernel, is out now
[18:08] <Pendulum> do you want to stick your stuff in first?
[18:08] <internalkernel> ohhhh, she says that... but beware the wrath!
[18:08] <akgraner> hehe
[18:08] <akgraner> Pendulum, you can add yours I am searching the LP blog now :-)
[18:08] <holstein> hey akgraner
[18:08] <akgraner> holstein, hey!
[18:08] <holstein> i wont make 5pm
[18:09] <holstein> i was planning on the normal midnight-ish time
[18:09] <akgraner> holstein, no worries - I'll summarize them this week :-)
[18:09] <akgraner> holstein,  no worries - that's why we have a team!
[18:09] <holstein> i'll be back aourd 6ish though and ping you
[18:10] <holstein> if the fit hits the shan ;)
[18:10] <akgraner> well there is nothing for the LP blog or Forum's section this week so that was easy :-)
[18:10] <akgraner> holstein, roger that!  thank you!
[18:10] <holstein> akgraner: you feeling better?
[18:10] <holstein> i was at barleys last night
[18:10] <akgraner> starting to..
[18:10] <akgraner> taking a break helped a lot
[18:11] <akgraner> we were at the skynyrd, bret michaels and 38 special concert
[18:11] <holstein> AH
[18:11] <holstein> cool
[18:11] <akgraner> it felt good to just relax for a few
[18:12] <akgraner> anywho - ping me when you get back and let's see where we are - hopefully it will be published by them - but just incase  check back
[18:12] <holstein> will do :)
[18:15] <akgraner> I am working on in other news... internalkernel which section are you working on now?
[18:15] <internalkernel> Planet - Im on NIcolas Barcet link
[18:15] <internalkernel> I'm just writing summaries into a Tomboy note - then Ill post them when I'm done with Planet
[18:16] <akgraner> awesome - that leaves in the Press if someone wants to work on those
[18:16] <akgraner> internalkernel, yep - do do that or use gedit as well
[18:16] <akgraner> what ever works for you
[18:16] <internalkernel> tomboy is awesome...
[18:16] <akgraner> however I do put it in wiki mark-up so it's easier to just drop in
[18:17] <akgraner> using the [18:17] <internalkernel> right...
[18:17] <holstein> tomboy is for tomboy's
[18:17] <holstein> ;p
[18:19] <holstein> alright... i'll check in later :)... bb
[18:19] <akgraner> holstein, thanks!
[18:19] <akgraner> highvoltage, feel up to writing some summaries?
[18:22] <highvoltage> akgraner: I've been thinking about it all day!!!
[18:22] <akgraner> hehe :-)
[18:22] <highvoltage> akgraner: but have been doing all kinds of other stuff...
[18:22] <akgraner> gotcha...
[18:23] <highvoltage> akgraner: what's the ETA on this week's UWN? would I still have some time left?
[18:23] <akgraner> 5pm EDT for publishing
[18:23] <highvoltage> ok that's another 3 hours or so, cool
[18:23] <akgraner> so the In the Press section needs some attention
[18:23] <akgraner> highvoltage, more like 2.5 hours - hopefully it's published by 5pm :-)
[18:25] <highvoltage> akgraner: 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] <akgraner> highvoltage, well for today I already went through feeds and added links :-)
[18:25] <akgraner> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue198
[18:26] <akgraner> they just need summarizing
[18:26] <highvoltage> great, so I literally just have to summarize
[18:26] <Pendulum> akgraner: ITB is done and in the wiki and I am out of the wiki
[18:26] <highvoltage> akgraner: 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] <akgraner> but hopefully as people get more comfortable with their areas - people will be adding links and summaries - but it's a learning process for everyone
[18:27] <akgraner> highvoltage, I would just grab the titles and links and write them on the googledoc - or tomboy or gedit what every works for you
[18:27] <akgraner> that way you aren't in the wiki for a long period of time
[18:27] <akgraner> Pendulum, thanks!
[18:27] <akgraner> highvoltage, I also have an eitherpad open if you want to use that as well
[18:28] <highvoltage> akgraner: good idea
[18:28] <akgraner> here you can see what I am doing ...
[18:28] <akgraner> http://ietherpad.com/UWN
[18:28] <akgraner> but do it which ever way is easiest for you to get it done
[18:29] <akgraner> Pendulum, once I get the LoCo and GCN added can you start your awesome proofing
[18:29] <akgraner> :-)
[18:30] <Pendulum> akgraner: yep, just let me know when
[18:30] <akgraner> I don't think we can ever have to many eyes proofing it as we all notice different things
[18:30] <akgraner> Pendulum, thanks!
[18:31] <akgraner> btw I am in the wiki now :-)
[18:35] <akgraner> oh 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 did
[18:36] <akgraner> if you don't check trivial change then people like dholbach and others will end up will a million emails every SUnday
[18:38] <akgraner> Pendulum, it's saving now..
[18:38] <akgraner> S-L-O-W-L-Y
[18:39] <akgraner> ok I'm out now
[18:46] <greg-g> just sent the email to the ubuntu-news-teams list
[18:47] <internalkernel> can I edit?
[18:47] <internalkernel> yes I can...
[18:50] <internalkernel> saving....
[18:51] <internalkernel> cool, planet is done... akgraner
[18:51] <internalkernel> gotta feed the little one... bbiab
[18:51] <akgraner> awesome!
[18:52] <akgraner> greg-g, ok - I'll add it to General Community news then :-)
[18:52] <akgraner> internalkernel, you can add to wiki or google doc and I'll drop it in - which ever you want to do
[19:08] <akgraner> just added the In other News summaries - waiting for the wiki to save now
[19:13] <highvoltage> akgraner: sheesh, just got *one* summary written (although I only started about 15 minutes ago)
[19:13] <highvoltage> akgraner: I have more appreciation for this kind of work now :)
[19:13] <akgraner> no worries :-)  the more you do it the easier it gets :-)
[19:16] <akgraner> I 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 :-)
[19:17] <highvoltage> articles that use bullet points seem much easier to summarize
[19:21] <akgraner> that they are :-)
[19:21] <akgraner> I'm in the wiki right now - adding the ubuntu member announcement one sec and I'll be out of it
[19:26] <akgraner> saving  the wiki now -
[19:28] <akgraner> ok and I am out
[19:28] <akgraner> (of the wiki)
[19:43] <highvoltage> akgraner: In the Press section saved, I'll get better with this with each week, so feedback is welcome :)
[19:44] <akgraner> awesome! :-)
[19:44]  * akgraner goes to look
[19:49] <akgraner> wow the wiki is really slow today
[19:50] <akgraner> highvoltage, 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 content
[19:50] <akgraner> it's always better to have and not need all the links than to need and not have any
[19:53] <akgraner> Ok 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 there
[19:54] <akgraner> Here is the link - http://ietherpad.com/UWN
[19:55] <akgraner> Pendulum, did you see anything you thought needed changing?
[20:00] <Pendulum> akgraner: looking at it now, I was just waiting for most stuff to be up
[20:01] <akgraner> it's up and I just copied it all to the etherpad - so people could edit at the same time
[20:06] <Pendulum> nope, onlything I noticed was that I forgot to put my name on the list of contributors, but anyone can do that
[20:06] <popey> akgraner: just edited the etherpad a bit
[20:07] <popey> around loco council
[20:08] <akgraner> ok it's you changing it :-)
[20:11] <akgraner> popey, please read over the other LoCo information as well
[20:11] <akgraner> see if there is anything else...
[20:29] <akgraner> Pendulum, I am going to add the in this Issue and Welcome the replace with is on the wiki -
[20:29] <akgraner> it will be about 20 minutes.. before that is complete
[20:46] <Pendulum> akgraner: just let me know when it's ready and I'll tkae a look
[20:53] <akgraner> Pendulum, wiki is saving now - but I am going to re-do the welcome... but other than than take a look...
[20:54] <Pendulum> where should I look?
[20:55] <akgraner> wiki now
[20:55] <akgraner> I just added everyone's changes at once
[20:55] <akgraner> now that that is done  - I am not worried about everyone saving the wiki at once
[20:56] <akgraner> Pendulum, well as soon as it saves
[20:56] <akgraner> DOH!
[20:57] <akgraner> I just lost the whole page
[20:57] <akgraner> grrrr
[20:57] <akgraner> one sec
[20:57] <akgraner> ok there it is
[20:58] <akgraner> sometimes these wikis have jokes - wow
[20:58] <akgraner> Pendulum, I'm out
[21:19] <Pendulum> akgraner: you said the welcome is going to be redone, yes?
[21:20] <akgraner> yep look at the etherpad - I am making it a more personal welcome from the news team
[21:21] <akgraner> it bugs me that the Welcome and In this Issue say the same thing..
[21:21] <akgraner> Pendulum, did you make changes yet?
[21:21] <Pendulum> i'm just finishing looking at it now
[21:22] <Pendulum> (I did just change something in the Welcome on the etherpad)
[21:22] <akgraner> k.. let me know and I'll add the new welcome :-)
[21:22] <akgraner> cool - me looks
[21:22] <akgraner> yep I noticed that when I was reading it a loud - thanks
[21:25] <Pendulum> okay, I'm just sticking myself in the credits and then i'll be out
[21:25] <Pendulum> or, actually, i'll wait for you to be out :)
[21:26] <akgraner> I'll add you and a couple of other people :-)
[21:27] <Pendulum> okay, then, all looks good to men :)
[21:27] <Pendulum> *me
[21:29] <akgraner> added you, internalkernel, highvoltage and popey :-)
[21:30] <akgraner> ok folks anyone wanna take one last look at the wiki?
[21:30] <akgraner> well as soon as this thing saves
[21:30] <akgraner> grrrrr
[21:31] <akgraner> well found a wiki link ...let me fix that
[21:33] <akgraner> also 'Contents' was showing up twice on the table of contents - I think I have that fixed now
[21:36] <akgraner> Ok it's saved and I am out of it - going to walk away from it for a few then re-read it and publish it...
[21:36] <akgraner> Thanks everyone for all your hardwork today!
