zkriessecjohnston: ping22:28
cjohnston?22:28
zkriessecjohnston: Can you kinda get/give me some pointers on this team?22:29
zkriesseI asked newz2000 but he/she said talk to you22:29
cjohnstonexplain what you mean22:29
newz2000hey zkriesse (I'm a he, my name is Matt Nuzum) ;-)22:30
zkriessenewz2000: Oh sorry22:31
newz2000No sweat ;-)22:31
zkriessenewz2000: I'm a tiny bit busy can you (if you remember that is) explain to cjohnston what you and I talked about/what my questions were?22:31
newz2000sure22:32
zkriessety22:32
zkriessenewz2000: ?22:47
newz2000hey zkriesse. We're doing some planning 1 on 1 to see what tasks are on our plate currently22:47
zkriessenewz2000: Ok I just was wondering what happened22:48
* zkriesse goes back to lovely ol' college homework22:48
cjohnstonzkriesse: ok.. heres something22:50
zkriesseja?22:50
cjohnstonGo through the bugs on lp..22:50
cjohnstonPlease don't touch anything that is against light-*-theme (* = base, django, drupal, wordpress)22:51
cjohnstonAny bugs that are no longer relevant.. tag them as obsolete, and one of us will go through and verify that they are obsolete and get rid of them22:51
cjohnstonThe problems right now are:22:52
cjohnstonWe don't have a webmaster... So we don't have anyone to fix something that isnt emergent22:52
zkriesseOk one, I was kinda just looking for info as I'm already involved with a few projects....but this sounds easy enough so...22:52
cjohnstonThere is a release in... 5 days.. so EVERYONE is busy with that22:52
zkriesseLP Page?22:52
cjohnstonubuntu-website22:53
zkriesseok22:54
zkriesseBack to bugs22:54
zkriesse(Requested to join btw)22:54
zkriesseOh and does this "team" have a wiki page?22:58
zkriessenm found the wiki page22:59
newz2000zkriesse: /Website22:59
zkriesseoi, does that ever need updating/re-formating ba22:59
zkriesse"bad22:59
cjohnstonThe team is a limited access team due to permissions it gives22:59
zkriesseunderstood23:00
newz2000zkriesse: we do most of our communication here and launchpad. If you want to add some organization work there, go for it23:00
newz2000as you can see, it was made in haste23:00
newz2000if you want to make a big diff, the launchpad stuff would be a huge help.23:00
cjohnstonbugs are more important23:00
newz2000Some of those bugs are quite old and we're short on resources. I suspect there are 30 − 50 that are obsolete now that we have the new site23:01
cjohnstonzkriesse: if you feel that something is SUPER important... (i.e. a critical bug), mark it needs-review and tell me about it23:01
zkriesseOk so what exactly do ya need/want me to do23:01
zkriesseJust check bugs and their repsective dates?23:01
newz2000If you start with the oldest ones and see if they're obsolete, then tag them and we can close them quickly23:01
newz2000Anything before May of this year is questionable23:02
zkriesseOk23:02
zkriesseWhat's the but page?23:02
newz2000bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website I think23:02
zkriesseI went to the bugs tab but there's like, one bug listed23:02
cjohnston183 bugs23:03
newz2000oh, I have 184. There must be a private one. :-(23:03
zkriesseProbably as Im not a member of the group23:03
cjohnstonzkriesse lookat a bug, find out if the bug is still valid.. if it is, move on, if its not, add the obsolete tag23:03
cjohnstonyou dont need to be23:03
cjohnstonhttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bugs23:04
cjohnstonI even have a freaking bug assigned to me23:04
cjohnstonboo23:04
cjohnstonlol23:04
zkriesselol23:04
cjohnstonand i have no permissions23:04
zkriesseHuh23:05
zkriesseWell I would eventually like to join the team. Like, really join the team23:06
cjohnstonJoining the team wont give you much as a non-coder..23:06
zkriesseI've got admin permissions on the /community docs and wiki.ubuntu.com so Ive got some knowledge or do's and dont's23:06
cjohnstonWe just can't give out access to all of our branches at random23:06
zkriesseCompletely understandable23:07
zkriesseJust a future endeavor23:07
newz2000zkriesse: You won't get much karma from ubuntu-website23:07
newz2000There are only a few people in the team and that only to do stuff like merge proposals23:07
zkriesseIf I cared about noteriety do you think Id be doing free-lance stuff? Lol23:07
newz2000You never know. I'm amazed at what some people will do for Karma. ;-)23:08
zkriesseI mean why do any of us do this stuff (Ubuntu work)? Because we want to23:08
newz2000indeed23:08
zkriesseAt least I do anyway...don't really care about the karma part23:08
newz2000and I appreciate greatly everyone who contributes23:08
zkriesseThat's just a number23:08
cjohnstonzkriesse: if you do truly contribute to the team, we can provide you with backing as far as your help.. which gets you more than just beign a team member23:09
zkriesseIndeed23:09
zkriesseOk so I'll take a look through the bugs, if they're really old mark them as Foo and if they're semi old but not WAY old mark them as?23:10
zkriesseJust want to do this right23:10
newz2000well, don't just go by the date, check if they're invalid23:10
cjohnstonif the bug is relevant.. leave it alone23:10
cjohnstonif the bug is irrelevant (i.e. the bug says a link doesnt work, but it does) add a tag "obsolete"23:10
newz2000the older they are the greater chance they'll be irrelevant now with the new site23:10
zkriesseHow do I know if the bug is relevant/irelevant?23:11
newz2000well, for example,23:11
newz2000it may say, "please add my russian community website ot the community page"23:11
newz2000but the community page no longer lists all the teams23:11
newz2000so it's invalid23:11
zkriesseso this bug 236154 is invalid?23:13
ubot4Launchpad bug 236154 in ubuntu (and 1 other project) "Database errors on www.ubuntu.com when searching (heat: 4)" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/23615423:14
newz2000yeah, good catch23:14
zkriesseOk think Im getting the idea23:14
zkriessesorry if Im annoying with the questions23:14
newz2000zkriesse: I'm happy to be annoyed in order to get some extra help with bugs23:15
zkriesselol23:15
zkriesse:D23:15
zkriesseOk Ill try to do some of this tonight/throughout the week23:15
newz2000thanks a bunch, that'll be a huge help23:15
zkriesseSure23:15
zkriesseOh and one more question23:16
newz2000zkriesse: sure, what's up?23:23
=== ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse
zkriessenewz2000: Sorry I disappeared like that23:30
zkriessenewz2000: My other question is may I edit/improve the Wiki page for this group?23:30
newz2000zkriesse: I have no problem with that provided you use caution. I especially want to keep the old countdown banner pages and the localization stuff23:31
zkriesseOf course23:31
zkriesseIt'd probably be just minor spell/sentence structure checks, adding proper section headers and so on23:32
zkriessehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuYouth is the team that' I've formatted23:32
zkriessegotta fly23:32
zkriesseback soon23:32
