pleia2quick question, the proper way for *us* to suggest things now is not -news-team or mentioning it here or using that loco form to the google doc, but using http://ietherpad.com/UWN-Ideas ?20:41
pleia2(just want to make sure I'm doing it the right way :))20:43
akgranerpleia2, what every way is easier for them - :-)  I would prefer the ideas page though20:44
pleia2ok, thanks20:45
akgranerpleia2, I21:21
akgranerlet me try this again21:21
akgranerpleia2, I'll remove the section titles21:21
akgranerso it confuse people where to put stuff21:21
pleia2akgraner: on the etherpad?21:23
akgranerthe etherpad is just blank and when I read the links I move them to below a line21:24
akgranerthe wiki ideas page was what I was thinking of21:24
akgranerlet me show ya21:24
akgranerpleia2, here is the ideas wiki - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Ideas  (most people hate this)21:25
pleia2oh ok21:25
akgranerand they hate emailing the public mailing list21:25
* pleia2 nods21:25
akgranerhere is the etherpad - http://ietherpad.com/UWN-Ideas21:26
akgranerwhich is fine and probably easier for everyone21:26
pleia2yeah, just want to make sure if we're using all these things they're all being checked and we know which is preferred (so if someone drops by here I know where to pop their recommendation in to)21:27
akgranerI check them all each sunday21:27
pleia2great :)21:27
akgranerand clear them all out when I publish21:27
* pleia2 nods21:27
akgranerso we can start with a clean slate each week21:28
akgranerbut here is the important paragraph though so no one gets their feelings hurt21:28
akgranerLet us know what is going on in the Ubuntu world. Please do not use this as a place to get hits on your website, as we do not pimp for google ads. Sorry.21:28
akgranerThank you for taking time to add content to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter the current newsletter in progress is - Issue 202 July 11th - 17th, 2010 - and it will be published on Sunday, July 18th, 2010. After this issue is published we will review the ideas page clear all content that either has been included or is Overcome by Events.21:28
akgranerWe wish we could include all content submitted, but that is not always possible. If your submission is not included, please know this is not a personal - it is a matter of time and content and what is relevant for each issue.21:28
akgranerAgain, thank you in advance for your submissions!21:28
pleia2does this still work? https://spreadsheets0.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGVoUHFJdjg0OUo3UmpXTF9uTmtLTGc6MQ21:29
akgranerit does21:29
pleia2ok, cool21:29
akgranersome people have started submitting that way too21:29
* pleia2 nods21:30
akgranerI really wanted to have as many ways as possible for people to submit ideas too - as I don't want to limit them - but I think I am at the limit of too many choices right now  - what do you think21:30
pleia2ok, so we have here, mailing list, /Ideas, goog spreadsheet, ietherpad21:31
akgraneras well as personally emailing me which people do as well21:31
pleia2yeah, it's good to strike a balance between "make it as easy as possible to submit" and "oh no I have to check a dozen different places for submissions each week, and if I miss one people are sad"21:32
akgranerI need to file an RT ticket to ask for news-editor@ubuntu.com or something and give people access to check that etc21:32
pleia2yeah, that would be nice too21:32
akgranerso if you look on the etherpad - I have a line on it - (the ideas one) and when I read it  - I move it below the line so people at least know the submission has been looked at21:33
pleia2although, people can submit stories to the fridge team via launchpad with: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-fridge/+contactuser21:33
akgraneryep21:33
akgranerI think that is plenty don't you?21:34
pleia2yep21:34
akgranerso OMG Ubuntu and the Fridge will be doing some cross posting21:34
pleia2my brain doesn't like the chat box, maybe put a note at the pop of the ietherpad saying "please put new stories above the line, they will be placed below the line once they have been reviewed"21:34
akgraneras they don't get the interviews like we do - but sometimes we don't get the breaking stuff in a timely manner21:35
pleia2yeah21:35
* pleia2 updates pad21:35
akgranerso I talked to benjamin and joey - and I asked to to poke us when they have those stories21:35
pleia2something like that :)21:35
akgraner:-)21:35
pleia2great21:35
akgranerperfect21:36
akgranersometimes I read the stories then as I add summaries from everyone - it's great to know if we need more content or something else is more pressing we have choices21:36
* pleia2 nods21:37
akgranerbrb Pete on the phone one sec21:37
akgranerpleia2, sorry about that21:49
akgranerlast chance to talk to him before he gets on a plane to Prague21:50
pleia2no problem, I'm at work anyway so probably should be doing that anyway ;)21:50
