[04:51] <akgraner> pleia2, just sent you the MA LoCo interview... :-)
[04:52] <holstein> hey akgraner :)
[04:52] <akgraner> pleia2, well the link to it -  I should have said
[04:52] <akgraner> holstein, hey!
[14:09] <MTeck> Anyone think PSPP should be up on the fridge?
[14:10] <self-nttld-idiot> what's pspp?
[14:11] <MTeck> statistical analysis tool
[14:11] <self-nttld-idiot> ah
[14:11] <MTeck> It has interest in the mailing list
[14:11] <self-nttld-idiot> oh, yes, I got that emial
[14:11] <self-nttld-idiot> I'm going to forward it to my LoCo and post it on our site in the news section
[14:13] <MTeck> I figure it has enough interest. It's about as relevant to Ubuntu as a Linux Fest.
[14:14] <self-nttld-idiot> good point
[14:14] <self-nttld-idiot> it sounds like a sweet product if you need what it does
[14:15] <MTeck> I was thinking they should toss it in a PPA in launchpad
[14:17] <MTeck> self-nttld-idiot: you want to give this a review? http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/2077
[14:21] <self-nttld-idiot> sure
[14:21] <self-nttld-idiot> brb
[14:22] <self-nttld-idiot> first sentance - did you mean opensource and not onensource
[14:23] <self-nttld-idiot> first line, second paragraph should read several types of data...
[14:24] <self-nttld-idiot> 3rd paragraph - cross platoform should be cross-platform
[14:24] <MTeck> You think I should make that into a ul?
[14:25] <self-nttld-idiot> make what into a url?
[14:25] <MTeck> ul
[14:25] <self-nttld-idiot> url
[14:25] <MTeck> unordered list
[14:25] <self-nttld-idiot> sorry
[14:25] <self-nttld-idiot> oh
[14:25] <self-nttld-idiot> sorry
[14:25] <self-nttld-idiot> nah
[14:26] <self-nttld-idiot> I think it reads OK as it
[14:26] <self-nttld-idiot> is*
[14:27] <MTeck> ok, it should be tidied up now
[14:27] <self-nttld-idiot> kk..brb again
[14:28] <self-nttld-idiot> great.  that is if my corrections are right
[15:22] <akgraner> self-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 yet
[15:22] <MTeck> akgraner: want me to pull it?
[15:23] <nhandler> MTeck: Too late, already hit all the RSS feeds. No point pulling it now
[15:23] <MTeck> ok- sorry
[15:23] <nhandler> MTeck: 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' box
[15:24] <MTeck> akgraner: You know how you're +o when you pop in? If you don't like that then /msg chanserv access #ubuntu-news akgraner -O
[15:25] <MTeck> nhandler: I'll remember that for next time. Sorry. I feel like I screwed up now :(
[15:25] <nhandler> akgraner: You might want to do the same for Rinchen as well
[15:26] <nhandler> MTeck: No need for the :( you didn't know, no shame in that :) And https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge/EditorGuidelines  might help as well
[15:26] <akgraner> MTeck, no worries....
[15:26] <MTeck> It will :) - I'll read it
[15:28] <akgraner> MTeck, 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) weird
[15:28] <MTeck> akgraner: do you have +O in other channels? +O is a friend to +o in that it auto-ops same with +v and +V
[15:29] <akgraner> MTeck, I do  which is why the auto-ops in here is weird to me...
[15:30] <MTeck> that is odd
[15:33] <akgraner> I 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)
[15:34] <nhandler> akgraner: No problem. I'll be around most of the day
[15:34] <scott_ev> akgraner: sorry bout that.
[15:35] <akgraner> scott_ev, no worries, not stressing about it and nether should you :-) - it's only an emergency if you can't breath...:-)
[15:40] <scott_ev> oh, I never stress
[15:40] <scott_ev> retirement is all about no stress and no drama
[15:41] <akgraner> :-)
[17:24] <sladen> we 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-updates
[17:24] <sladen> buses, all at once
[17:26] <sladen> MTeck: 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 Ubuntu
[17:27] <sladen> MTeck: is it a program?  can I find it in the Software Centre?  Is it going to help me?
[17:28] <sladen> MTeck: 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 installing
[17:31] <sladen> MTeck: what the heck is "PSS/PASW"
[17:31] <sladen> MTeck: should I know, it's not even linked
[18:13] <nhandler> sladen: 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.
[18:16] <sladen> nhandler: aye, but content like Interview are be buffered
[18:16] <sladen> nhandler: aye, but content like interviews /can/ be buffered
[18:17] <sladen> nhandler: what I'm thinking here is +12 hours to at least spread things a little
[18:18] <Pendulum> I 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 blog
[18:18] <nhandler> sladen: 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 help
[18:20] <nhandler> I 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)
[18:22] <Pendulum> similar yes
[18:23] <Pendulum> but if it's the exact same post I feel like it's just there to look like there are a lot of similar posts
[19:08] <zkriesse> scott_ev: PING
[19:10] <akgraner> then interviews were already being held
[19:10] <akgraner> as I have 5 waiting to be published as it is
[19:13] <akgraner> While 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.
[19:20] <akgraner> The 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 Fridge
[19:56] <scott_ev> zkriesse: po9ng
[19:56] <zkriesse> hey scott_ev getting ready for the meeting?
[19:56] <zkriesse> one hour to go
[19:56] <scott_ev> there's nothing really to get ready
[19:57] <scott_ev> introduce myself and answer questions
[19:57] <zkriesse> meaning are you pumped/excited
[19:57] <scott_ev> ah, of course
[19:57] <zkriesse> Oh come on dude it's Ubuntu Membership!@
[19:57] <scott_ev> it's like a job interview only fun
[19:57] <zkriesse> It's like, HUGE!
[19:57] <scott_ev> I have a crowd showing up I think
[20:01] <zkriesse> lol
[20:02] <zkriesse> I can see it now, "Is anyone here wishing to support scott_ev?" 50 hands raise
[20:05] <scott_ev> I'm expecting maybe 10
[20:05] <zkriesse> lol
[20:05] <scott_ev> if it wasn't during normal business hours there would be considerably more
[20:11] <nhandler> Remember, it is quality, not quantity
[20:17] <scott_ev> well, my team leader and matt helmke would be considered quality to me
[20:17] <scott_ev> plus all of my LoCo team mates are quality gents IMHO
[20:18] <scott_ev> I choose to surround myself with quality individuals
[20:34] <scott_ev> zkriesse: now you gone and done it.  I'm almost nervous.  On purpose I wasn't thinking about this today......
[20:38] <zkriesse> lol
[20:38] <zkriesse> sorry dude
[20:47] <scott_ev> no prob.  I can regain my composure

[21:17] <akgraner> Pete Graner and David Mandala have been giving several talks / QA
[21:17] <akgraner> QA's at various Linux Fests this year about Ubuntu on Arm
[21:20] <akgraner> and with the announcement of Linaro  - there are some great things happening
[21:23] <newboon2age> akgraner: on the ubuntu port to HTC HD2, I thought that was the best actual blog entry even though some of the others had clearer titles announcing the port.
[21:24] <newboon2age> akgraner: so there are others out there and maybe you'd prefer another...
[21:24] <newboon2age> akgraner: i got it off news.google.com
[21:24] <akgraner> I'll add in the summary basically - looks like someone ported Karmic to the HTC HD2 phone.  To find out all the details go to... or something like that...
