scott_evmorning13:53
scott_evI guess I need to get offa my hump and do my part of this issue13:53
scott_evakgraner: sorry I didn't do upcoming meetings & events over the weekend. I'll get it done this morning13:54
Pendulumscott_ev: I think we're all behind so I wouldn't worry so much13:55
scott_evunderstood.  it doesn't take me long to do my part; I've done it long enough to get pretty efficient13:56
akgranerGood Mornng!14:29
akgranermorning even14:29
akgranerwe'll get it out today :-)14:29
akgranerwe are going with 1-3 sentences and we are going to narrow most of the sections a bit - I am thinking no more than 5 really good inclusions for each section  - if you think we need more we can talk about it14:30
Pendulumakgraner: sounds good to me14:31
akgranermdz has been helping me refine some things and since he is a long time supporter and consumer of UWN he offers some great suggestions14:32
scott_evakgraner: meetings & events is complete and in the wiki14:40
scott_evand in the google doc14:40
akgranerscott_ev, thank you!14:42
akgranerhey just thought you all might want to know -  I just got and email from the Debian News folks - looks like we are going to be doing some cross-collaboration with them15:02
akgranerwho is active in the Debian community as well as ubuntu that would like to maybe be another point of contact for them?15:03
akgranerany fridge editors around?15:06
akgranercan someone work on adding the multitouch announcement15:06
akgranerhttp://blog.canonical.com/?p=41415:06
akgranerand this afternoon I'll have a story on AppArmor with some quotes from various folks - so we'll get that announcement up as well15:07
nhandlerI can add the multitouch thing now15:22
nhandlerakgraner: What type of collaboration with Debian?15:22
akgranernhandler, thanks15:22
akgranerjust us giving them stories for their newsletter15:23
akgranerand they giving us stories to include in ours15:23
akgraneralso if original content needs to be written working together to get the right people giving quotes etc - details are still being working out but that's sorta it in a nutshell15:24
nhandlerDid we figure out how content would get shared? IIRC, they use an svn branch that all DDs can contribute to15:24
akgranersince we often point to standing on the shoulders of giants and Debian is one of those giants - how can we help people gain knowledge of the ways Ubuntu and Debian work together as well as how people can contribute to both15:25
akgranerwhat do you mean *how* it would get shared - simple they shoot us an email - or I (or someone else) send them and email saying here's what was important this week that relates to you all15:26
akgranerbut I guess I can talk to partick and see what all we can work out on that - I'll get back to you on that one15:27
nhandlerakgraner: If their workflow is that people submit to the SVN branch and then their editors simply look through it for stories that need cleaning up, I would hate to see our articles get lost in the cracks for not following that workflow and sending them via email15:27
akgranercrap I meant - Jeremiah15:28
akgranernhandler, well I told him  - I am not a developer :-)  so let's see what he comes back with - this also lends itself to how they can incorporate non-technical/non-developers who want to help with Debian15:29
akgranerbut I'll find out more information15:29
akgraner:-)15:29
nhandler:)15:30
Pendulumakgraner: I'll get to stuff in a little bit, I'm just having a slow day of mentally waking up15:56
akgranerPendulum, it's cool - I haven't added many links  - so we'll get to it I am sure15:57
akgraner:-)15:57
akgranernot stressing about it15:57
* nhandler kicks the forum16:00
Pendulumnhandler: what're you kicking it about? (I've been kicking it myself this morning)16:01
nhandlerPendulum: My fridge post isn't showing up16:01

akgranerdpm, thanks!17:15
zkriesseBoo!!17:16
akgranerOnce I publish it  - I'll add the forum link then publish to the planet17:16
nhandlerakgraner: You will need to wait for the forum issue to get resolved before you can add the link. I'm still waiting to add it to my story17:18
akgranernhandler, UGH!17:19
akgranerok well we can at least get it published to the planet :-)17:20
nhandlerYeah, I just posted the multitouch thing without the discuss link. No point in continuing to wait17:22
akgranernods17:23
akgranernhandler, any idea what's up with it?17:23
akgraner(since you are the answer go to guy :-)  )17:24
nhandlerakgraner: Nope. It got reported to the sysadmins though17:24
* nhandler has no access on the forum17:24
dpmakgraner, ok, I've reviewed the Spanish team interview at http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/2102 - I just linkified a couple of links and fixed a couple of typos in the answers. It's all yours to publish now. Thanks again for the awesome work!17:26
akgranerdpm, thanks!17:26
akgranerI'll do that now  - and we will send to planet once the forums stuff gets fixed17:27

akgranerugh the forums still aren't fixed :-(21:30
Pendulumouch21:33
Pendulumakgraner: there's no sign of when they will be fixed, either21:33
akgraner:-/21:34
Pendulumit's a DB error and I'm not sure if the one person who can fix it has been reached yet21:35
nhandlerPendulum: I haven't heard anything about them being able to contact him21:38
