MTeckIt has interest in the mailing list14:11
self-nttld-idiotoh, yes, I got that emial14:11
self-nttld-idiotI'm going to forward it to my LoCo and post it on our site in the news section14:11
MTeckI figure it has enough interest. It's about as relevant to Ubuntu as a Linux Fest.14:13
self-nttld-idiotgood point14:14
self-nttld-idiotit sounds like a sweet product if you need what it does14:14
MTeckI was thinking they should toss it in a PPA in launchpad14:15
MTeckself-nttld-idiot: you want to give this a review? http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/207714:17

MTeckok, it should be tidied up now14:27
self-nttld-idiotkk..brb again14:27
self-nttld-idiotgreat.  that is if my corrections are right14:28
akgranerself-nttld-idiot, and MTeck  - while I agree this is gaining interest - and I was going to include in UWN I am not sure it should have gone to the Fridge yet15:22
MTeckakgraner: want me to pull it?15:22
nhandlerMTeck: Too late, already hit all the RSS feeds. No point pulling it now15:23
MTeckok- sorry15:23
nhandlerMTeck: But as another note, don't forget to add the Forum discuss link before adding the Planet tag and to check the 'Promote to front page' box15:23
MTeckakgraner: You know how you're +o when you pop in? If you don't like that then /msg chanserv access #ubuntu-news akgraner -O15:24
MTecknhandler: I'll remember that for next time. Sorry. I feel like I screwed up now :(15:25
nhandlerakgraner: You might want to do the same for Rinchen as well15:25
nhandlerMTeck: No need for the :( you didn't know, no shame in that :) And https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge/EditorGuidelines  might help as well15:26
akgranerMTeck, no worries....15:26
MTeckIt will :) - I'll read it15:26
akgranerMTeck, yeah  - it only happens when my Bip Server decides to kick me out  - I need to fix that - thanks for the reminder (oddly enough it only happens in this channel not the others I am op'd in) weird15:28
MTeckakgraner: do you have +O in other channels? +O is a friend to +o in that it auto-ops same with +v and +V15:28
akgranerMTeck, I do  which is why the auto-ops in here is weird to me...15:29
MTeckthat is odd15:30
=== self-nttld-idiot is now known as sorta_idiotic
akgranerI know right - but you know I am odd too as my tag online on my blog suggests - "normal is just a setting on my dryer"  - I'll look into afterwhile gotta jump on a call atm - :-)  I may have to ping you or nhandler later if I can't figure it out myself...(just a warning :D)15:33
=== sorta_idiotic is now known as scott_ev
nhandlerakgraner: No problem. I'll be around most of the day15:34
scott_evakgraner: sorry bout that.15:34
akgranerscott_ev, no worries, not stressing about it and nether should you :-) - it's only an emergency if you can't breath...:-)15:35
scott_evoh, I never stress15:40
scott_evretirement is all about no stress and no drama15:40
akgraner:-)15:41
sladenwe should probably try to space original content for the Fridge out ... eg. spending an hour writing something, then pushing it off a couple of hours later (before of a multi-day gap) doesn't keep giving the impression of daily-updates17:24
sladenbuses, all at once17:24
sladenMTeck: waay to much jargon in that 2077 article.  It needs a pretty graph on the right-hand side, and an explanation of how it relates to Ubuntu17:26
sladenMTeck: is it a program?  can I find it in the Software Centre?  Is it going to help me?17:27
sladenMTeck: the licencing bit probably doesn't need that much prominence, software in Ubuntu has already passed the DFSG tests---the beauty of Ubuntu is that users can install software and use it without needing to worry about licencing issues or manual installing17:28
sladenMTeck: what the heck is "PSS/PASW"17:31
sladenMTeck: should I know, it's not even linked17:31
nhandlersladen: The issue with trying to space articles out is that we don't want them delayed. People want the news when it happens. We have the UWN and Team Reports which provide a summary.18:13
sladennhandler: aye, but content like Interview are be buffered18:16
sladennhandler: aye, but content like interviews /can/ be buffered18:16
sladennhandler: what I'm thinking here is +12 hours to at least spread things a little18:17
PendulumI think interviews could be buffered. Also anything that ends up on the fridge first before a personal blog, it'd be nice if it was delayed a bit on the personal blog18:18
nhandlersladen: I've actually thought about that. But we never know when news will happen. Some weeks, every day is filled with many stories, so holding off on something really doesn't help18:18
nhandlerI think there is also benefit to having many similar stories on the Plane at once. If I see 5 posts about the same topic at the same time, it usually encourages me to read through it (where as I might skip over an individual story)18:20
Pendulumsimilar yes18:22
Pendulumbut if it's the exact same post I feel like it's just there to look like there are a lot of similar posts18:23
zkriessescott_ev: PING19:08
akgranerthen interviews were already being held19:10
akgraneras I have 5 waiting to be published as it is19:10
akgranerWhile we try very hard to make sure that we get the mix right  - there will be some days when we will publish stories every few hours as needed - and other weeks were we may only have 2 stories during the whole week - which is the nature of developing news.19:13
akgranerThe interviews are scheduled about a week a part most of the time - There are MOTU, LoCo Team, and Translation Team interviews going on simultaneously and if they are held or buffered too long after a person gives the interview that is frustrating as well - plus  - we want some time between when it hits the Fridge, UWN, Ubuntu User and Full Circle for them to be spaced out so there is more to consider than just the timing on Fridge19:20
scott_evzkriesse: po9ng19:56
zkriessehey scott_ev getting ready for the meeting?19:56
zkriesseone hour to go19:56

zkriesselol20:05
scott_evif it wasn't during normal business hours there would be considerably more20:05
nhandlerRemember, it is quality, not quantity20:11
scott_evwell, my team leader and matt helmke would be considered quality to me20:17
scott_evplus all of my LoCo team mates are quality gents IMHO20:17
scott_evI choose to surround myself with quality individuals20:18
