Pendulumdoes anyone know if the OMG!Ubuntu guys have an IRC channel?13:08
Pendulumakgraner: I've got about 1/2 of ITB done and in, however, I'm getting error messages when I try to go to anything on OMG!Ubuntu13:17
Pendulumdownforme says it's just me so I don't know if anyone else can do those articles13:17
Pendulumif not I suggest just leaving the links in without summaries for now as I'm sure the site and content will be back up within a day (if it's truly down)13:18
Pendulumakgraner: nevermind, now they're working so I'll get those done13:20
Pendulumakgraner: ITB is done13:29
akgranerGood Morning :-)14:32
Pendulumakgraner: ITB is done and on the google doc (because the etherpad seemed to be empty)14:43
PendulumI am heading out shortly to go ruin my shoulders at a historical museum with really really yummy cookies14:43
akgranerPendulum, thank you!14:44
akgranerHave fun - Happy 4th!14:45
Pendulumthanks! you too!14:55

akgranerhighvoltage, how goes the planet summaries  - internalkernel how goes in other news?16:07
nhandlerakgraner: I'm going to be out this afternoon, so I'll do the Team Reports in an hour. I just hope not to many teams were planning on doing their reports later today16:10
akgranernhandler, nods...  I plan on publishing around 5pm16:11
akgranernhandler, you always ask them to have them in on Saturdays iirc and remind them a week before - so if it doesn't go in  - it's not on you :-)16:12
akgranerto have it in on Saturdays (dang I am expecting you to read my mind)  sorry about that  - missing word fail there16:13
akgranerI am bummed the other past editors I asked to comment only one did :-( - I suppose life happens though16:20
internalkernelakgraner: gotta run out for a bit, but I'll hit other news when I get back... tanx!16:32
akgranernhandler, add what you have and just let me know which teams I should check on before I publish and I'll just add them manually..16:37
nhandlerakgraner: I'm not as concerned about the LoCos, I would have liked it if some of the Councils had finished their reports. I think I'll start sending my reminder to the team councils mailing list in the future. But the councils are the only teams I would check on16:55
akgranernhandler, gotcha - I'll check on the before I publish then16:56
nhandlerThanks a lot akgraner16:56
akgranernhandler, no worries  - and enjoy your afternoon! and Happy 4th!16:57
akgranernhandler, just let me know when you have added the reports :-) just so I know when you've done your thing - thanks!17:35
nhandlerakgraner: I'm running to the store, and I'll add them when I return. I've started formatting them, and just have to fix CammelCases17:35
akgranerawesome!  Thanks!17:36
highvoltageakgraner: shey!17:36
highvoltageoops, hey :)17:36
akgranerhey17:36
highvoltageI had lots of interruptions but I'm getting into the UWN stuff now17:37
akgranerok let me know if you need some help I'm finishing up a few things will be out of the wiki in just a sec17:41
akgranerok I am out of the wiki for anyone who needs to get in there for a few17:44
nhandlerakgraner: Team Reports are up18:31
akgranernhandler, thank you!18:31
nhandlerI've told people who looked like they might be working on reports to ping you and me in here when they are done18:31
akgranergreat!18:32
akgranerThank you!18:32
nhandlerAlso, I forgot that the upcoming meetings section was still done by hand. I could probably borrow some ClassBot code and automate that section. Would this help you scott_ev ?18:32
akgranernhandler, that would help all of us ;-)18:33
highvoltagenhandler: cool, I said to akgraner just last week it would be really cool if that was automated!18:33
nhandlerIf I remember after the holidays, I'll start looking into it.18:34
nhandlerhighvoltage: Yeah, it seems like a very tedious task (I must give scott_ev credit for doing that :) )18:34
akgranernhandler, if you have time then great!18:34
nhandlerakgraner: Most of the code is already written. I just need to modify it to display the output in wiki format18:35
akgraneroh cool!18:35
zkriesseakgraner: and I'll be writing the BT report here today18:46
akgranerBT report?18:46

zkriesseyup18:47
zkriessescott_ev: ya 'round?19:14
highvoltageakgraner: I sometimes have some trouble summarizing some entries because I'm not sure what angle the summary should take, or what the important parts are that should be emphasized19:39
highvoltagethis one is an example of that: http://blog.brettalton.com/2010/07/02/local-school-board-and-ubuntu/19:39
* akgraner looks19:39
highvoltageis the story here that they are warming up to Ubuntu, that 3 years desktop support is still short for some companies or that some 3rd party providers just suck at supporting their own products?19:40
highvoltage(or perhaps all of that?)19:40
scott_evzkriesse: mormnin19:42

scott_evzkriesse: mine is looking pretty good19:47
=== mohi is now known as zkriesse
highvoltageakgraner: ah, pros-and-cons angle... thanks!19:49
akgraneryep.. it's important for the developers to see how things are being used - and what happens when things aren't supported anymore19:50
akgranernot that it changes people's minds but lets everyone know what and how people are using Ubuntu19:50
scott_evwow, I've never seen etherpad before19:50
akgranerscott_ev, I like it  - it's like gobby19:51

czajkowskiIrish team report is a bit late so if too late we understand https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/TeamReports/10/June19:55
