[18:42] <pleia2> Pendulum: did you still want your article up on the fridge?
[19:23] <akgraner> pleia2, thanks!  I just haven't gotten back around to it yet :-)
[19:23] <akgraner> just walked back in the door   - playing taxi this week has me all out of sorts :-/
[19:34] <Pendulum> pleia2: yes! thanks!
[19:34] <pleia2> akgraner: I'll get it put on the fridge and you can review, if that's ok
[19:34]  * pleia2 does that
[19:34] <akgraner> awesome!
[19:34] <akgraner> Thank you
[19:34] <akgraner> my kids are running me ragged this week
[19:35] <akgraner> I am counting down the months til becca can drive herself and her brother
[19:42] <pleia2> akgraner: can you review real quick? http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/2084
[19:43] <akgraner> sure
[19:43]  * pleia2 adds link to accessibility team
[19:45] <akgraner> looks good :-) Thank you!!!
[19:45] <pleia2> k, thanks for reviewing :)
[19:49] <akgraner> pleia2, http://fullcirclemagazine.org/2010/07/15/full-circle-podcast-10-trawling-the-internet-for-a-goat-festival/
[19:50] <akgraner> they worked in the goat festival in the title :-)
[19:50] <pleia2> haha, excellent
[19:50] <akgraner> it's their podcast - I rambled but I had fun :-)
[19:57] <zkriesse> how's it goin newsies?
[20:25] <MichealH> zkriesse: Fine :)
[20:33] <MichealH> /cycle
[20:34] <MichealH> Ooops
[20:41] <pleia2> quick 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 ?
[20:43] <pleia2> (just want to make sure I'm doing it the right way :))
[20:44] <akgraner> pleia2, what every way is easier for them - :-)  I would prefer the ideas page though
[20:45] <pleia2> ok, thanks
[21:21] <akgraner> pleia2, I
[21:21] <akgraner> let me try this again
[21:21] <akgraner> pleia2, I'll remove the section titles
[21:21] <akgraner> so it confuse people where to put stuff
[21:23] <pleia2> akgraner: on the etherpad?
[21:24] <akgraner> the etherpad is just blank and when I read the links I move them to below a line
[21:24] <akgraner> the wiki ideas page was what I was thinking of
[21:24] <akgraner> let me show ya
[21:25] <akgraner> pleia2, here is the ideas wiki - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Ideas  (most people hate this)
[21:25] <pleia2> oh ok
[21:25] <akgraner> and they hate emailing the public mailing list
[21:25]  * pleia2 nods
[21:26] <akgraner> here is the etherpad - http://ietherpad.com/UWN-Ideas
[21:26] <akgraner> which is fine and probably easier for everyone
[21:27] <pleia2> yeah, 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] <akgraner> I check them all each sunday
[21:27] <pleia2> great :)
[21:27] <akgraner> and clear them all out when I publish
[21:27]  * pleia2 nods
[21:28] <akgraner> so we can start with a clean slate each week
[21:28] <akgraner> but here is the important paragraph though so no one gets their feelings hurt
[21:28] <akgraner> Let 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] <akgraner> Thank 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] <akgraner> We 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] <akgraner> Again, thank you in advance for your submissions!
[21:29] <pleia2> does this still work? https://spreadsheets0.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGVoUHFJdjg0OUo3UmpXTF9uTmtLTGc6MQ
[21:29] <akgraner> it does
[21:29] <pleia2> ok, cool
[21:29] <akgraner> some people have started submitting that way too
[21:30]  * pleia2 nods
[21:30] <akgraner> I 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 think
[21:31] <pleia2> ok, so we have here, mailing list, /Ideas, goog spreadsheet, ietherpad
[21:31] <akgraner> as well as personally emailing me which people do as well
[21:32] <pleia2> yeah, 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] <akgraner> I need to file an RT ticket to ask for news-editor@ubuntu.com or something and give people access to check that etc
[21:32] <pleia2> yeah, that would be nice too
[21:33] <akgraner> so 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 at
[21:33] <pleia2> although, people can submit stories to the fridge team via launchpad with: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-fridge/+contactuser
[21:33] <akgraner> yep
[21:34] <akgraner> I think that is plenty don't you?
[21:34] <pleia2> yep
[21:34] <akgraner> so OMG Ubuntu and the Fridge will be doing some cross posting
[21:34] <pleia2> my 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"
[21:35] <akgraner> as they don't get the interviews like we do - but sometimes we don't get the breaking stuff in a timely manner
[21:35] <pleia2> yeah
[21:35]  * pleia2 updates pad
[21:35] <akgraner> so I talked to benjamin and joey - and I asked to to poke us when they have those stories
[21:35] <pleia2> something like that :)
[21:35] <akgraner> :-)
[21:35] <pleia2> great
[21:36] <akgraner> perfect
[21:36] <akgraner> sometimes 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 choices
[21:37]  * pleia2 nods
[21:37] <akgraner> brb Pete on the phone one sec
[21:49] <akgraner> pleia2, sorry about that
[21:50] <akgraner> last chance to talk to him before he gets on a plane to Prague
[21:50] <pleia2> no problem, I'm at work anyway so probably should be doing that anyway ;)
[21:51] <akgraner> ping me when your day ends - if you feel like yakking for a few minutes
[21:51] <akgraner> I want to test out my new headphones  (now that I charged them) :-)
[21:51] <pleia2> hehe, ok
[21:52] <akgraner> A friend gave me the logitech USB ones :-) they seem really cool
