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

[21:20] yep look at the etherpad - I am making it a more personal welcome from the news team [21:21] it bugs me that the Welcome and In this Issue say the same thing.. [21:21] Pendulum, did you make changes yet? [21:21] i'm just finishing looking at it now [21:22] (I did just change something in the Welcome on the etherpad) [21:22] k.. let me know and I'll add the new welcome :-) [21:22] cool - me looks [21:22] yep I noticed that when I was reading it a loud - thanks [21:25] okay, I'm just sticking myself in the credits and then i'll be out [21:25] or, actually, i'll wait for you to be out :) [21:26] I'll add you and a couple of other people :-) [21:27] okay, then, all looks good to men :) [21:27] *me [21:29] added you, internalkernel, highvoltage and popey :-) [21:30] ok folks anyone wanna take one last look at the wiki?
