| nhandler | akgraner: No problem ;) | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| nhandler | akgraner, pleia2: There is a nice interview with Henrik Omma, but it focuses entirely on his work with Canonical. It would probably be appropriate for UWN, but should we feature it on the fridge? | 12:20 |
| nhandler | Hmm...When/why did we change the ubuntu-news-team to default to reply to list akgraner / pleia2 ? | 12:22 |
| nigelb | gah, bug. Its happened to classroom list once | 12:34 |
| nhandler | nigelb: It is a setting | 12:35 |
| nigelb | nhandler: I know | 12:35 |
| nigelb | but it has changed randomly before | 12:35 |
| nhandler | Some people like it, but the real solution is to teach people to use 'Reply to all' | 12:35 |
| * nhandler changed it back to having replies go to the sender (the recommended setting) | 12:52 | |
| akgraner | nhandler, I have no idea why it was changed | 12:53 |
| akgraner | wasn't aware it was | 12:53 |
| akgraner | nhandler, yep just read the interview | 12:53 |
| akgraner | If you haven't added it yet I will in a few | 12:53 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Think it should go on the fridge or just in UWN? | 12:53 |
| akgraner | and yep I am adding it to UWN in ION | 12:53 |
| akgraner | both | 12:53 |
| akgraner | Yep - people are interested in what people do at Canonical | 12:54 |
| nhandler | akgraner: People are interested in lots of stuff, but that doesn't necessarily make it Ubuntu-related enough to go on the Fridge | 12:55 |
| akgraner | nhandler, sigh | 12:56 |
| nhandler | That is why I wanted a second opinion | 12:56 |
| akgraner | no worries :-) | 12:58 |
| akgraner | By default if someone who works on Ubuntu or related to Ubuntu and it's a good interview - it can be included | 12:58 |
| akgraner | and by good I mean doesn't sound like a conversation you would have in a bar | 12:59 |
| akgraner | and hints at professionalism | 12:59 |
| akgraner | then we should consider including it | 12:59 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Consider, I agree. My one hesitance was that this basically appears to be a "Canonical is a great place for me to work, you should get a job here" (which is partially confirmed by being on ubuntu-jobs and by the links they had at the bottom) | 13:00 |
| nhandler | But it is up http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/2117 | 13:01 |
| akgraner | well it did come through on the jobs mailing list :-) | 13:01 |
| akgraner | so of course they want it to sound like the "Bestest most awesome no other better than here" to work post | 13:02 |
| * popey doesn't think it's appropriate for UWN, unless it's a slow news week | 13:02 | |
| akgraner | I put it in In Other News | 13:03 |
| akgraner | which is where Canonical related topics go | 13:04 |
| akgraner | b/c it's other news | 13:04 |
| akgraner | popey, why do you feel that way? | 13:04 |
| popey | it's UWN not CWN | 13:05 |
| popey | and Henriks current role has very little to do with Ubuntu | 13:05 |
| akgraner | well we include other Canonical related things | 13:05 |
| popey | such as? | 13:05 |
| akgraner | but interviews to me are different for some reason - I like to read about people | 13:06 |
| akgraner | popey, look in ION the last 10 issues | 13:06 |
| akgraner | Canonical gets mentioned all the time in various ways - Enterprise stuff etc | 13:06 |
| akgraner | Landscape | 13:06 |
| akgraner | for one | 13:06 |
| popey | landscape is a product for managing Ubuntu machines | 13:07 |
| akgraner | I know | 13:07 |
| akgraner | but it is a paid for service | 13:07 |
| popey | so appropriate | 13:07 |
| akgraner | which I got gripped out for including | 13:07 |
| popey | i dont see that there's a distinction between paid / free information in UWN | 13:07 |
| akgraner | well you don't but some people do... just pointing that out | 13:08 |
| popey | going back over previous UWN, 207 and 204 mention canonical services which directly relate to ubuntu | 13:08 |
| * akgraner bangs head on my desk - ahhhhhhhh this is so not my day.... :-) Thanks popey I appreciate the feedback really... | 13:09 | |
| * popey shrugs | 13:09 | |
| popey | just my opinion, thats all | 13:09 |
| akgraner | I know and I really appreciate it :-) | 13:09 |
| akgraner | Maybe I'll just add it as a sneak peek link then | 13:10 |
| popey | welll.. | 13:10 |
| popey | there is a precident | 13:10 |
| popey | you put the interview with sil in ION in ep 200 | 13:10 |
| popey | did you get flak for that? | 13:10 |
| akgraner | nope | 13:10 |
| popey | so put henrik in then :) | 13:10 |
| akgraner | just on Landscape and Ubuntu one official announcements for the services off the Canonical site | 13:10 |
| * akgraner needs to get the survey about UWN finished - I really want to know what people want and don't want to read about etc | 13:13 | |
| popey | heh | 13:14 |
| popey | I expect you'll get a lot of replies telling you what to do and zero offers of help doing it | 13:14 |
| * nigelb thinks so too | 13:16 | |
| nigelb | popey: for uupc, you're looking for someone physically in UK? | 13:17 |
| popey | well, I haven't said we're looking for someone yet :) | 13:17 |
| nigelb | :D | 13:17 |
| popey | its some way off yet | 13:17 |
| popey | however if we continue as we are then yes, we'd need someone geographically close | 13:18 |
| nigelb | hm :) | 13:18 |
| popey | we record all in the same room, we don't do it remotely with skype/sip | 13:19 |
| akgraner | popey and nigelb I suspect you are correct - but I also want to know what sections do people read first which ones they never look at and why etc | 13:20 |
| akgraner | however, most people won't take the time to give that detailed of feedback so it's gotta be a check a box kinda thing | 13:21 |
| nigelb | true | 13:21 |
| nigelb | popey: that does make it rather painful :( | 13:21 |
| popey | i do wonder sometimes how many people actually _read_ UWN | 13:22 |
| popey | I dont think i have ever read one 'cover to cover' | 13:22 |
| akgraner | :-( | 13:26 |
| akgraner | but good to know | 13:26 |
| popey | i guess I'm not target market, thing is most of the news I will have seen via planets or somesuch | 13:26 |
| akgraner | nods | 13:26 |
| akgraner | it's just a consolidated recap | 13:26 |
| popey | same problem we have with news on the podcast | 13:26 |
| akgraner | and a snapshot in time of what was happening in and related to Ubuntu | 13:27 |
| akgraner | However I really want at some point to get the archives set up in a web-based searchable fashion off the Fridge | 13:28 |
| akgraner | and I am hopelessly stalled on the new fridge at the moment | 13:28 |
| akgraner | we need the SSO stuff added | 13:29 |
| akgraner | and the content migrated over | 13:29 |
| akgraner | without breaking the links | 13:29 |
| akgraner | and more content links added - this is on my todo list for the weekend - but the other two items I need others to help with (above my skill level at the moment) | 13:31 |
| popey | i did that for popey.com when i moved from drupal to wordpress | 13:31 |
| akgraner | popey, I can give you access to the development site - do you have time to help? | 13:32 |
| popey | yeah, sure | 13:32 |
| akgraner | ok one sec | 13:32 |
| popey | is this the one hosted on jonos host? | 13:32 |
| akgraner | popey, which email address do you want associated with this | 13:32 |
| popey | alan@popey.com | 13:32 |
| akgraner | k we can always change it if need be for the SSO stuff later :-) | 13:33 |
| popey | ok | 13:33 |
| akgraner | dang SSO has been added - thanks nhandler (I think) | 13:34 |
| popey | so you want to migrate all posts from existing fridge to new fridge and keep urls? | 13:34 |
| akgraner | yes :-) | 13:35 |
| akgraner | please and thank you!! | 13:35 |
| akgraner | I'll work on getting all the tags and stuff added | 13:36 |
| akgraner | does it need to be done before you do that | 13:36 |
| popey | no | 14:10 |
| akgraner | okie dokie | 14:11 |
| akgraner | how in the world did I manage to schedule IRC meetings 3 nights in a row | 23:06 |
| === akgraner changed the topic of #ubuntu-news to: Next Meeting: September 2nd, 2010 @ 2300UTC | The Ubuntu News Channel - You report it, we publish it! Serving the Fridge, Ubuntu Weekly News, and other fine publications. | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam | ||
