[22:28] <zkriesse> cjohnston: ping
[22:28] <cjohnston> ?
[22:29] <zkriesse> cjohnston: Can you kinda get/give me some pointers on this team?
[22:29] <zkriesse> I asked newz2000 but he/she said talk to you
[22:29] <cjohnston> explain what you mean
[22:30] <newz2000> hey zkriesse (I'm a he, my name is Matt Nuzum) ;-)
[22:31] <zkriesse> newz2000: Oh sorry
[22:31] <newz2000> No sweat ;-)
[22:31] <zkriesse> newz2000: 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?
[22:32] <newz2000> sure
[22:32] <zkriesse> ty
[22:47] <zkriesse> newz2000: ?
[22:47] <newz2000> hey zkriesse. We're doing some planning 1 on 1 to see what tasks are on our plate currently
[22:48] <zkriesse> newz2000: Ok I just was wondering what happened
[22:48]  * zkriesse goes back to lovely ol' college homework
[22:50] <cjohnston> zkriesse: ok.. heres something
[22:50] <zkriesse> ja?
[22:50] <cjohnston> Go through the bugs on lp..
[22:51] <cjohnston> Please don't touch anything that is against light-*-theme (* = base, django, drupal, wordpress)
[22:51] <cjohnston> Any 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 them
[22:52] <cjohnston> The problems right now are:
[22:52] <cjohnston> We don't have a webmaster... So we don't have anyone to fix something that isnt emergent
[22:52] <zkriesse> Ok 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] <cjohnston> There is a release in... 5 days.. so EVERYONE is busy with that
[22:52] <zkriesse> LP Page?
[22:53] <cjohnston> ubuntu-website
[22:54] <zkriesse> ok
[22:54] <zkriesse> Back to bugs
[22:54] <zkriesse> (Requested to join btw)
[22:58] <zkriesse> Oh and does this "team" have a wiki page?
[22:59] <zkriesse> nm found the wiki page
[22:59] <newz2000> zkriesse: /Website
[22:59] <zkriesse> oi, does that ever need updating/re-formating ba
[22:59] <zkriesse> "bad
[22:59] <cjohnston> The team is a limited access team due to permissions it gives
[23:00] <zkriesse> understood
[23:00] <newz2000> zkriesse: we do most of our communication here and launchpad. If you want to add some organization work there, go for it
[23:00] <newz2000> as you can see, it was made in haste
[23:00] <newz2000> if you want to make a big diff, the launchpad stuff would be a huge help.
[23:00] <cjohnston> bugs are more important
[23:01] <newz2000> Some 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 site
[23:01] <cjohnston> zkriesse: if you feel that something is SUPER important... (i.e. a critical bug), mark it needs-review and tell me about it
[23:01] <zkriesse> Ok so what exactly do ya need/want me to do
[23:01] <zkriesse> Just check bugs and their repsective dates?
[23:01] <newz2000> If you start with the oldest ones and see if they're obsolete, then tag them and we can close them quickly
[23:02] <newz2000> Anything before May of this year is questionable
[23:02] <zkriesse> Ok
[23:02] <zkriesse> What's the but page?
[23:02] <newz2000> bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website I think
[23:02] <zkriesse> I went to the bugs tab but there's like, one bug listed
[23:03] <cjohnston> 183 bugs
[23:03] <newz2000> oh, I have 184. There must be a private one. :-(
[23:03] <zkriesse> Probably as Im not a member of the group
[23:03] <cjohnston> zkriesse lookat a bug, find out if the bug is still valid.. if it is, move on, if its not, add the obsolete tag
[23:03] <cjohnston> you dont need to be
[23:04] <cjohnston> https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bugs
[23:04] <cjohnston> I even have a freaking bug assigned to me
[23:04] <cjohnston> boo
[23:04] <cjohnston> lol
[23:04] <zkriesse> lol
[23:04] <cjohnston> and i have no permissions
[23:05] <zkriesse> Huh
[23:06] <zkriesse> Well I would eventually like to join the team. Like, really join the team
[23:06] <cjohnston> Joining the team wont give you much as a non-coder..
[23:06] <zkriesse> I've got admin permissions on the /community docs and wiki.ubuntu.com so Ive got some knowledge or do's and dont's
[23:06] <cjohnston> We just can't give out access to all of our branches at random
[23:07] <zkriesse> Completely understandable
[23:07] <zkriesse> Just a future endeavor
[23:07] <newz2000> zkriesse: You won't get much karma from ubuntu-website
[23:07] <newz2000> There are only a few people in the team and that only to do stuff like merge proposals
[23:07] <zkriesse> If I cared about noteriety do you think Id be doing free-lance stuff? Lol
[23:08] <newz2000> You never know. I'm amazed at what some people will do for Karma. ;-)
[23:08] <zkriesse> I mean why do any of us do this stuff (Ubuntu work)? Because we want to
[23:08] <newz2000> indeed
[23:08] <zkriesse> At least I do anyway...don't really care about the karma part
[23:08] <newz2000> and I appreciate greatly everyone who contributes
[23:08] <zkriesse> That's just a number
[23:09] <cjohnston> zkriesse: 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 member
[23:09] <zkriesse> Indeed
[23:10] <zkriesse> Ok 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] <zkriesse> Just want to do this right
[23:10] <newz2000> well, don't just go by the date, check if they're invalid
[23:10] <cjohnston> if the bug is relevant.. leave it alone
[23:10] <cjohnston> if the bug is irrelevant (i.e. the bug says a link doesnt work, but it does) add a tag "obsolete"
[23:10] <newz2000> the older they are the greater chance they'll be irrelevant now with the new site
[23:11] <zkriesse> How do I know if the bug is relevant/irelevant?
[23:11] <newz2000> well, for example,
[23:11] <newz2000> it may say, "please add my russian community website ot the community page"
[23:11] <newz2000> but the community page no longer lists all the teams
[23:11] <newz2000> so it's invalid
[23:13] <zkriesse> so this bug 236154 is invalid?
[23:14] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 236154 in ubuntu (and 1 other project) "Database errors on www.ubuntu.com when searching (heat: 4)" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/236154
[23:14] <newz2000> yeah, good catch
[23:14] <zkriesse> Ok think Im getting the idea
[23:14] <zkriesse> sorry if Im annoying with the questions
[23:15] <newz2000> zkriesse: I'm happy to be annoyed in order to get some extra help with bugs
[23:15] <zkriesse> lol
[23:15] <zkriesse> :D
[23:15] <zkriesse> Ok Ill try to do some of this tonight/throughout the week
[23:15] <newz2000> thanks a bunch, that'll be a huge help
[23:15] <zkriesse> Sure
[23:16] <zkriesse> Oh and one more question
[23:23] <newz2000> zkriesse: sure, what's up?
=== ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse
[23:30] <zkriesse> newz2000: Sorry I disappeared like that
[23:30] <zkriesse> newz2000: My other question is may I edit/improve the Wiki page for this group?
[23:31] <newz2000> zkriesse: I have no problem with that provided you use caution. I especially want to keep the old countdown banner pages and the localization stuff
[23:31] <zkriesse> Of course
[23:32] <zkriesse> It'd probably be just minor spell/sentence structure checks, adding proper section headers and so on
[23:32] <zkriesse> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuYouth is the team that' I've formatted
[23:32] <zkriesse> gotta fly
[23:32] <zkriesse> back soon
[23:45] <daker> newz2000, bug 236154 is obsolete
