[01:12] <scott_ev> hey
[01:12] <scott_ev> Dell cuddles Canonical for big Ubuntu fluffer love
[01:13] <scott_ev> that title really really needs to be changed......do you know what a fluffer is?
[01:23] <Pendulum> akgraner: scott_ev has a really good point there. is there any way to change the title slightly?
[01:23] <akgraner> we don't change the titles we report them as they are listed
[01:23] <Pendulum> *nods*
[01:24] <akgraner> brb
[01:24] <Pendulum> and I assume there are no other articles talking about the same thing?
[01:24] <akgraner> I can't see what anyone is typing
[01:24] <Pendulum> scott_ev: have you read the article?
[01:28] <akgraner> and there are other uses for the word fluffer as well - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluffing
[01:28] <scott_ev> no, I haven't read the article but a fluffer in the porn industry is the person that gets the man ready for his scene
[01:28] <scott_ev> aweful
[01:29] <scott_ev> akgraner: I see that my section isn't done....I can do it real quick if you want me to knock it out
[01:32] <akgraner> it's done
[01:32] <scott_ev> ok, I'm so sorry I didn't get it done earlier in the week before I quit my meds.  the withdrawls will be over before next week's release
[01:34] <akgraner> again no worries - I just hope you feel better :-)
[01:34] <akgraner> I'm just fixing the camelcases right now
[01:37] <scott_ev> I just noticed that there are only 2 brainstorms this week...bummer
[01:43] <akgraner> yep Can't add what isn't there
[01:44] <scott_ev> agreed
[02:13] <akgraner> The new edition of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available here:
[02:13] <akgraner> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue201
[02:14] <akgraner> I shortened the title I figured it's easier to get chewed on for changing the title rather than not changing it - sigh
[02:21] <Pendulum> *nods*
[03:06] <akgraner> hey all - highvoltage, internalkernel, holstein, nigelb, Pendulum and others work can begin on 202 - http://www.ietherpad.com/UWN and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue202  also THANK YOU very much for all your work on Issue 201! - Great Job!
[03:07] <internalkernel> thanks!
[03:08] <nigelb> didn't work on this fine, but I will work on next one :)
[03:09] <akgraner> also the gdoc has been cleared out and can be used as well :-)  https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en
[03:10] <akgraner> Have a great evening - need to get some rest before developer week starts tomorrow :-)
[03:13] <MTeck-ricer> akgraner: favorite issue yet - (except for the couple where i was mentioned :P)
[03:15] <akgraner> :-P
[05:26] <nigelb> MTecknology: whats with the new nick? ;)
[05:26] <nigelb> I agree with you - I community is what unites us all :)
[05:27] <MTecknology> nigelb: I've had that a while - I wear it sometimes when I start tweaking my kernel
[05:28] <MTecknology> or when I'm ricing some other part of my buntu system
[05:40] <MTecknology> maco: hey there babe
[05:40]  * maco blinks
[05:40] <maco> no.
[05:40] <MTecknology> :P
[05:40]  * nigelb blinks twice
[05:40] <MTecknology> maco: haven't talked to you in a while, how've you been?
[05:42] <maco> was doing fairly well after just hanging out with some friends. am now being a sourpuss
[05:42] <maco> thanks.
[05:42] <MTecknology> :(
[05:42] <MTecknology> I'm sorry..
[05:42]  * MTecknology feels like an a-hole now
[05:43] <Pendulum> MTecknology: it's not really appropriate to adress anyone as "hey there babe" unless you're in a rather close personal relationship with them
[05:43] <Pendulum> and is especially inappropriate in an Ubuntu channel, IMO
[05:44] <MTecknology> Pendulum: It's actually kinda common place around here
[05:44] <Pendulum> doesn't make it appropriate
[05:44] <nigelb> *NOT* appropriate even if you're in a relationship IMHO
[05:44] <Pendulum> and I really haven't seen that happen in many Ubuntu channels
[05:44] <MTecknology> anyway..
[05:44] <Pendulum> nigelb: well, I'm thinking that if my partner said it, I wouldn't be offended
[05:44]  * maco agrees with Pendulum
[05:45] <nigelb> Pendulum: yes, but unless everyone knows you're partners, they might go "what the..."
[05:45] <maco> nigelb: i think then youd get a PM asking whether you're partners :P
[05:45] <Pendulum> nigelb: fair enough :-) I don't generally date people who'd say such things on IRC anyway
[05:45] <Pendulum> (at least in public)
[05:45] <nigelb> maco: exactly
[05:45] <nigelb> haha
[05:45] <maco> ive "dear"d partners in channels before
[05:46] <maco> like "yes dear" or "thank you dear"
[05:46] <nigelb> thats okay
[05:46] <Pendulum> there are channels where I'll accept it a little more liberally, but none of them are Ubuntu channels
[05:46] <nigelb> I've deared people who're not partners when buttering them to do something for me :p
[05:57] <zkriesse> hahaha
[06:30] <pleia2> for next week: maybe mention the new UW logo?
[06:31] <pleia2> I didn't bother mentioning it since we have so many UW on the news team ;P
[06:32]  * maco grumbles about being dragged onto the news team lately
[06:32] <maco> i am officially not on this team! you cant make me!
[06:42] <nigelb> maco: haha

[16:25] <nUboon2Age> akgraner: never mind then ;)
[18:28] <pleia2> akgraner: can you look in the -news-team list queue and see if anything there is good for UWN? (I've left it there for a couple of days hoping someone with more expertise in this could determine :))
[18:29] <akgraner> pleia2, yep it's on my todo list :-)

[20:27] <akgraner> nUboon2Age, can you add the links to the ideas wiki page and I'll just look at them all at once :-)
[20:28] <akgraner> you don't have to worry about what section you can just add the to the In the press area if ya want  - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Ideas
[20:28] <akgraner> and I'll just move them as needed
[20:28] <akgraner> That way I won't have to search the logs for any of the links you post
[20:46] <pleia2> johnc4510: hey
[20:46] <akgraner> pleia2, I held off on the new logo b/c it wouldn't stand out with all the other news - but was going to include it with a post that includes your interview..
[20:48] <pleia2> akgraner: ok, I just figured it wouldn't really be "news" anymore after this week, it's already being remixed and updated everywhere
[20:48] <pleia2> just want to make sure it gets in sometime :)
[20:48] <nUboon2Age> akgraner: hi i just came back and saw your request. I'm assuming you're talking about for the future?  Right now i don't seem to have access to edit that page.
[20:49] <akgraner> hmm are you on Launchpad?
[20:50] <nUboon2Age> akgraner: yes
[20:50] <akgraner> you can also add them to the etherpad as well - http://ietherpad.com/UWN
[20:53] <akgraner> or you can add to the googledoc and just drop the links there as well
