| Mootbot-UK | Meeting started at 23:00. The chair is akgraner. | 00:00 |
| Mootbot-UK | Commands Available: [TOPIC], [PROGRESS REPORT], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] | 00:00 |
| akgraner | so who is here for the meeting? | 00:01 |
| pleia2 | o/ | 00:01 |
| akgraner | oh and welcome to the news team meeting :-) | 00:01 |
| popey | o/ | 00:01 |
| Moiso | o/ | 00:01 |
| akgraner | First let me apologize for not having a formal agenda | 00:02 |
| popey | [ACTION] Forumlate an agenda for the next meeting ;) | 00:02 |
| akgraner | :-) | 00:02 |
| akgraner | we have a page for that - I just forgot to add to it :-/ Fail on my part | 00:03 |
| akgraner | So here is the link to the new ubuntu-news site - http://ubuntu-news.org/ | 00:03 |
| akgraner | [link] - http://ubuntu-news.org/ | 00:04 |
| Mootbot-UK | LINK received: - http://ubuntu-news.org/ | 00:04 |
| akgraner | [topic] discuss new "fridge" site | 00:04 |
| Mootbot-UK | New Topic: discuss new "fridge" site | 00:04 |
| akgraner | thoughts | 00:04 |
| akgraner | there is still some tweaking to be done - but the goal is to go live on Sunday with the new release | 00:05 |
| akgraner | thanks to popey the old Fridge content has been added | 00:05 |
| akgraner | Nick Ali will be moving the image files over tomorrow | 00:05 |
| akgraner | and I'll be cleaning up the right hand side of the page with all the links | 00:06 |
| nhandler | I'm only here for a minute, but is there anything else that needs doing for the migration? | 00:06 |
| pleia2 | looks good :) | 00:06 |
| akgraner | nope - only adding the images to the new site | 00:07 |
| akgraner | so they aren't pulling from the old one | 00:07 |
| pleia2 | everything says posted by "admin" - is that how they will all show up no matter whose fridge account is used? | 00:07 |
| nhandler | pleia2: That is for the migrated posts | 00:07 |
| akgraner | nope | 00:07 |
| daker | haha my countdown | 00:07 |
| nhandler | pleia2: Normal posts will show up as being from the appropriate user | 00:07 |
| akgraner | nods | 00:07 |
| daker | looks good akgraner | 00:07 |
| pleia2 | cool | 00:07 |
| popey | we can change owner of posts too | 00:08 |
| popey | thats just how they came in imported, sorry | 00:08 |
| akgraner | I'll be emailing the Fridge editors list to see who still wants admin on the new site | 00:08 |
| Moiso | it's looking very good on opera mini | 00:08 |
| popey | Moiso: nice! | 00:08 |
| pleia2 | hmm, categories seems broken, it looks like everything uses "tags" but there is one "loco" category? | 00:08 |
| popey | hmm | 00:08 |
| akgraner | and blogging about people having the ability to submit original content to the fridge now | 00:09 |
| akgraner | hmmm | 00:09 |
| pleia2 | actually, everything is in the loco category | 00:09 |
| akgraner | DOH! | 00:10 |
| popey | Well.. | 00:10 |
| popey | thats part of the import it looks.. | 00:10 |
| akgraner | so what needs to be the action item on that? | 00:10 |
| popey | the quick fix is to rename the loco category to 'news' | 00:10 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 00:10 |
| popey | i can look at that | 00:10 |
| akgraner | [action] popey to fix loco category to news catergory | 00:10 |
| Mootbot-UK | ACTION received: popey to fix loco category to news catergory | 00:10 |
| pleia2 | should we even bother listing the "Categories" thing on the side bar if there is only one category? | 00:10 |
| highvoltage | eek, sorry I got distracted | 00:11 |
| popey | done :) | 00:11 |
| akgraner | I was hoping to have some more categories once new posts are added to this site | 00:11 |
| akgraner | don't you think we will need them? or will tags be fine? | 00:11 |
| pleia2 | tags seem to be doing the job | 00:11 |
| pleia2 | using tags and categories confuses my small brain :) | 00:12 |
| popey | categories are good if you want feeds separated | 00:12 |
| popey | i dont think you can have tag based feeds | 00:12 |
| popey | so if people only want to follow loco news... /category/loco/feed in their feedreader | 00:12 |
| popey | they should read all the news damnit! | 00:12 |
| akgraner | yeah what popey said... | 00:12 |
| pleia2 | well, if it was clear what we should use a category for and what we should use a tag for, I think it's ok | 00:13 |
| popey | thats the only reason I can think of | 00:13 |
| pleia2 | I've never really used tags | 00:13 |
| popey | separating content on different rss feeds | 00:13 |
| popey | e.g. the podcast uses categories _only_ to separate the mp3 and ogg feeds | 00:13 |
| popey | we use tags otherwise | 00:13 |
| highvoltage | tags are nice for adding lots of meta | 00:13 |
| popey | yeah | 00:14 |
| highvoltage | you don't want to add something to 100 categories | 00:14 |
| popey | +100 | 00:14 |
| akgraner | to we need to update wikis with when to use tags and when to use categories | 00:14 |
| highvoltage | adding as many tags as you want is usually harmless, and makes it easier to google and find | 00:14 |
| pleia2 | how does one add to the loco calendar? and can we add those directions to the calendar page? | 00:15 |
| pleia2 | oh, nm, on it's own page it has directions | 00:15 |
| akgraner | I need to blog about that - I think nhandler updated the page on how to do that | 00:15 |
| pleia2 | yeah, he did :) | 00:15 |
| akgraner | I was just waiting until the site was live to tell people about it | 00:15 |
| * pleia2 nods | 00:16 | |
| zkriesse | GOod! | 00:16 |
| zkriesse | I'm in time for the meeting | 00:16 |
| pleia2 | since this is a news site, for the LoCo Teams link, is the wiki link correct - or loco directory? | 00:16 |
| akgraner | So is there anything that you think needs to be removed or added besides the derivative distributions | 00:17 |
| akgraner | pleia2, probable not - all those links need to be verified and tested before Sunday | 00:17 |
| pleia2 | ok | 00:17 |
| akgraner | dang it I can't spell tonight | 00:17 |
| popey | akgraner: can you add a couple of actions, 1) need an akismet key (from a wordpress.com account maybe), and 2) someone needs to setup google analytics on a new google account and configure the site | 00:17 |
| akgraner | gotcha | 00:18 |
| pleia2 | we're missing the giant "SUBMIT NEWS" button :) | 00:18 |
| akgraner | [action] Nick Ali to 1) need an akismet key (from a wordpress.com account maybe), and 2) someone needs to setup google analytics on a new google account and configure the site | 00:18 |
| Mootbot-UK | ACTION received: Nick Ali to 1) need an akismet key (from a wordpress.com account maybe), and 2) someone needs to setup google analytics on a new google account and configure the site | 00:18 |
| pleia2 | one of the great things that omgubuntu does is make it dead simple to submit news | 00:18 |
| akgraner | [action] add submit news button | 00:19 |
| Mootbot-UK | ACTION received: add submit news button | 00:19 |
| akgraner | pleia2, where do want these submission to go to | 00:19 |
| pleia2 | maybe the -news-team mailing list? | 00:19 |
| akgraner | one of the reasons people don't submit is b/c they don't want it to go to the mailing list | 00:19 |
| akgraner | for some reason people hate submitting stories to the list :-( | 00:20 |
| pleia2 | well maybe when they click "submit news" they can be shown a link to the mailing list, or they can submit it via the form on the fridge editors page | 00:20 |
| akgraner | oh good idea | 00:21 |
| pleia2 | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-fridge/+contactuser | 00:21 |
| pleia2 | they have to be logged into LP | 00:21 |
| akgraner | comments will be turned on as well | 00:21 |
| pleia2 | but I don't think that's a horrible issue | 00:21 |
| pleia2 | unfortunately when you go to +contactuser w/o being logged in it doesn't prompt you to log in :( | 00:22 |
| akgraner | well you have to use open id to log in I believe | 00:22 |
| popey | you dont have to | 00:23 |
| popey | you can, but you dont have to | 00:23 |
| akgraner | ahh ok | 00:23 |
| pleia2 | anyway, just some thoughts, old fridge always bugged me with it's non-simple/non-obvious way of submitting news | 00:24 |
| akgraner | so we need to verify that all submissions are moderated and reviewed before hitting the front page of the site | 00:24 |
| akgraner | pleia2, I agree | 00:24 |
| akgraner | pleia2, do you have time to add a button? | 00:25 |
| pleia2 | no, sorry :( | 00:25 |
| akgraner | no worries | 00:25 |
| * pleia2 flies out on saturday morning | 00:25 | |
| * popey is looking at it now | 00:25 | |
| akgraner | ahh that's right sorry I forgot | 00:26 |
| akgraner | popey thanks | 00:26 |
| akgraner | ok so any other thoughts | 00:27 |
| akgraner | on the Fridge as it is right now | 00:27 |
| highvoltage | oh yes it's wordpress | 00:27 |
| highvoltage | so it has feeds by tags :) | 00:27 |
| akgraner | well ubuntu-news as it is right now | 00:27 |
| Moiso | what's going to be in the about page? | 00:27 |
| akgraner | I need to move content about the site and team over | 00:28 |
| popey | http://ubuntu-news.org/ - see top right | 00:28 |
| Mootbot-UK | LINK received: http://ubuntu-news.org/ - see top right | 00:28 |
| popey | "Add News" | 00:28 |
| popey | its customisable, but that was just a quick test | 00:28 |
| popey | it submits for approval in a queue | 00:28 |
| pleia2 | oh, neat | 00:28 |
| popey | doesn't have to be _there_ of course :) | 00:28 |
| akgraner | cool | 00:28 |
| popey | just a test thats all :) | 00:29 |
| pleia2 | maybe a pretty button that goes to a full page that has those fields (so it's easier to type in) | 00:29 |
| akgraner | pleia2, do you think martin would make us a killer button | 00:30 |
| pleia2 | I hope so :) | 00:30 |
| akgraner | and Ubuntu News "that was easy" button :-) | 00:30 |
| pleia2 | none of us have such mad skillz | 00:30 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 00:30 |
| akgraner | [action] ask martin owens to help create a submit news button | 00:31 |
| Mootbot-UK | ACTION received: ask martin owens to help create a submit news button | 00:31 |
| akgraner | pleia2, great idea - popey do you know how to do that? | 00:31 |
| popey | yes | 00:32 |
| pleia2 | akgraner: can we make the RSS link a bit more prominent? | 00:32 |
| popey | I'd get martin to give the whole site the once-over tbh | 00:32 |
| pleia2 | excellent | 00:32 |
| popey | I'll remove that little submission box for now | 00:32 |
| popey | just wanted to show its possible | 00:32 |
| pleia2 | :) | 00:33 |
| akgraner | pleia2, I am sure there is a way - just got find it :-) | 00:33 |
| akgraner | so google analytics is in place | 00:34 |
| popey | have moved rss to the top | 00:34 |
| popey | needs a big fat icon though | 00:34 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 00:34 |
| akgraner | yep | 00:34 |
| akgraner | List of things to ask Martin is growing :-) | 00:35 |
| akgraner | Also we are going to give UWN it's own page so there is one click from the rss feed for it and you get the whole content | 00:35 |
| akgraner | but that's not pressing atm | 00:36 |
| akgraner | so any other suggestions? thoughts? comments? | 00:36 |
| pleia2 | great work to all the people who worked on it :) | 00:37 |
| akgraner | thanks- I'll send out thank you's on Sunday from the whole team. | 00:38 |
| akgraner | So the plan is to roll this out on Sunday with the new release.. | 00:39 |
| akgraner | any objections? | 00:39 |
| akgraner | so all the "offical" stuff rolls out together | 00:40 |
| akgraner | alrighty then | 00:41 |
| akgraner | [topic] Ubuntu Weekly newsletter | 00:41 |
| Mootbot-UK | New Topic: Ubuntu Weekly newsletter | 00:41 |
| akgraner | how many people have looked at the wiki pages with the new light theme | 00:41 |
| pleia2 | not me :\ | 00:42 |
| akgraner | UWN looks aweful with the new theme | 00:42 |
| akgraner | awful even | 00:42 |
| akgraner | which is one of the reason for giving UWN it's own area on the Fridge | 00:43 |
| akgraner | the layout is still being worked on and suggestions are welcome | 00:43 |
| akgraner | we'll still have the wiki page as some people love reading it from there | 00:43 |
| akgraner | but - we need a prettier version | 00:43 |
| * zkriesse 's ears perk up at that word.....wiki.... | 00:44 | |
| Moiso | yep it looks outdated, even more with the new news site been so great | 00:45 |
| akgraner | also I am working on a survey to go out with issue 213 which was due for Monday but as you can see that just didn't happen - but I'll get 213 tomorrow with the survey and 214 will be back on schedule | 00:45 |
| akgraner | oh and everyone welcom Moiso he is the newest volunteer to the team :-) Thanks Moiso!!! | 00:45 |
| Moiso | yay! | 00:46 |
| Moiso | Tnx | 00:46 |
| akgraner | and people are missing getting it on Sunday | 00:47 |
| akgraner | but unless we can get everything in place on Saturday then Sunday won't work - I can't ask anyone to give up every weekend | 00:48 |
| akgraner | thoughts? | 00:49 |
| akgraner | crickets... | 00:49 |
| akgraner | alrighty then | 00:50 |
| akgraner | no comments questions thoughts on UWN? | 00:51 |
| akgraner | anything else from anyone? before we end the meeting? | 00:51 |
| Moiso | Is there a link to the news site from ubuntu home? | 00:53 |
| akgraner | I'll add it to the News team wiki | 00:53 |
| akgraner | Moiso, do you mean Ubuntu.com? | 00:53 |
| akgraner | or something else? | 00:54 |
| Moiso | Yep, it's were people heads to | 00:55 |
| akgraner | we can request it | 00:55 |
| akgraner | [action] request ubuntu-news link be added to Ubuntu.com | 00:55 |
| Mootbot-UK | ACTION received: request ubuntu-news link be added to Ubuntu.com | 00:55 |
| akgraner | ok so do you all want to keep it the fridge or Call it Ubuntu News | 00:55 |
| akgraner | people tell me "the fridge" confuses them - I am just asking to see what you all think | 00:56 |
| akgraner | I'll add this question to the survey as well | 00:56 |
| pleia2 | I'm quite fond of fridge historically, but it's not obvious to newcomers | 00:56 |
| Moiso | yeeeea like me | 00:57 |
| akgraner | nods | 00:57 |
| akgraner | I was trying to find a way to use them both | 00:58 |
| Moiso | I mean people just google ubuntu news, it could be in some for of meta tag | 00:59 |
| pleia2 | if we can find a way to use both, that'd be nice :) | 00:59 |
| akgraner | Ubuntu News: (something Fridge) | 01:00 |
| akgraner | [action] tagline for new site using fridge and news | 01:00 |
| Mootbot-UK | ACTION received: tagline for new site using fridge and news | 01:00 |
| akgraner | anything else or thoughts on anything before we end? | 01:01 |
| akgraner | well anything fridge or UWN related | 01:01 |
| akgraner | Oh I know - after UDS I wanted to do weekly training sessions on how to produce and publish UWN - so think about what you would like to know and when would be good times for people | 01:02 |
| pleia2 | cool | 01:02 |
| akgraner | motion to adjourn or does someone have anything else | 01:03 |
| akgraner | Next meeting November 4th - I'll send out a doodle poll to find out the best times again now that we have new people | 01:04 |
| akgraner | thanks everyone! You rock! | 01:04 |
| akgraner | #endmeeting | 01:04 |
| Mootbot-UK | Meeting finished at 00:04. | 01:04 |
| akgraner | whew! | 01:04 |
| pleia2 | thanks akgraner :) | 01:05 |
| akgraner | you're welcome | 01:05 |
| akgraner | again - sorry about the slack agenda for this meeting | 01:05 |
| Moiso | tnx to all of you keep up the good work | 01:06 |
| Moiso | keep up the good work people | 01:07 |
| akgraner | Moiso, I hope you will enjoy being on the team | 01:07 |
| akgraner | :-) | 01:07 |
| Moiso | I'll for sure | 01:10 |
| Moiso | Bye | 01:10 |
| akgraner | Moiso, bye :-) thanks for attending | 01:10 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Sorry for missing the meeting | 03:09 |
| akgraner | nhandler, no worries - so was tonight your concert? | 03:09 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Yeah. It was the chorus concert, but they recruited about 8 brass players to play along with them for the final piece. | 03:10 |
| akgraner | great! I did the final alterations on the color guard uniforms tonight | 03:11 |
| akgraner | 21 of them :-) | 03:11 |
| newz2000 | akgraner: hey, got a question for you on the redirect for the fridge | 16:09 |
| newz2000 | The IS team hasn't said "no" but they have wondered if you want a blind redirect | 16:09 |
| newz2000 | vs. maybe creating an interstital page that says, "the fridge has changed, now it's …" | 16:09 |
| newz2000 | (copy and pasted from my other ping in #ubuntu-website) | 16:10 |
| newz2000 | Also, IS says that a lot of the site visitors are htting the rss feed, so whatever is done it may be a good plan to redirect to the new feed | 16:13 |
| popey | can we get a mod-rewrite? | 16:23 |
| popey | also note that the rss feed at the top left of old fridge actually uses feedburner | 16:23 |
| popey | whoever set that up can point feedburner at the new feed url | 16:24 |
| * newz2000 wonders if he did that | 16:27 | |
| newz2000 | ooh, it was me | 16:28 |
| newz2000 | but how could the feed be so popular on the fridge then, it should only be a few hits a day | 16:28 |
| newz2000 | Not everyone is using the feedburner feed | 16:29 |
| newz2000 | here's the feed stats: http://paste.ubuntu.com/508865/ | 16:34 |
| newz2000 | updating feedburner will not affect those subscribed using these feeds | 16:36 |
| newz2000 | (keep in mind that this is less than one day's worth of numbers) | 16:36 |
| popey | planet pulls from fridge | 17:55 |
| popey | however that goes direct | 17:56 |
| popey | that needs fixing | 17:56 |
| popey | http://fridge.ubuntu.com/planetubuntu/feed | 17:56 |
| popey | is where planet gets its fridge news from | 17:56 |
| popey | some of those are specific to releases, e.g. http://fridge.ubuntu.com/taxonomy/term/57/0/feed is the jaunty feed | 17:57 |
| popey | i would point _all_ of them at the main http://ubuntu-news.org/feed/ url myself | 17:58 |
| popey | thats only a few lines of mod-rewrite and you're done | 17:58 |
| popey | imo | 17:59 |
| popey | :) | 17:59 |
| popey | .76 | 17:59 |
| popey | bah :) | 17:59 |
| akgraner | newz2000, hey | 18:15 |
| akgraner | sorry had to run to my kids school | 18:15 |
| akgraner | nick has the new rss feed set-up now | 18:16 |
| akgraner | also who set up the ubuntunews twitter feed as well | 18:17 |
| akgraner | nick thought he had access but he doesn't | 18:17 |
| akgraner | newz2000, I was just thinking blind re-direct | 18:22 |
| akgraner | also can someone add the new rss feed to the planet | 18:27 |
| newz2000 | I suggest updating the feedburner feed and then submitting that to planet | 19:43 |
| newz2000 | I don't know who did the twitter stuff, it wasn't me | 19:44 |
| akgraner | newz2000, ahh ok will do | 19:48 |
| doctormo | hello | 21:05 |
| pleia2 | oh good, akgraner is around :) | 21:05 |
| akgraner | yep | 21:05 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: secret new fridge http://ubuntu-news.org/ | 21:05 |
| akgraner | we need you to look over the site :-) | 21:06 |
| akgraner | and give some thoughts | 21:06 |
| akgraner | we need a Submit news button | 21:06 |
| akgraner | something that stands out - yet goes with the site | 21:06 |
| akgraner | and a new logo -:-) we aren't going with sub-zero but need something like Ubuntu News on The Fridge or something | 21:07 |
| pleia2 | oh, I like "Ubuntu News on The Fridge" | 21:08 |
| akgraner | me too | 21:08 |
| akgraner | I keep coming back to that | 21:08 |
| akgraner | keeps "The Fridge" element for nostalgia and uses news for those who are confused by what the Fridge means | 21:09 |
| * pleia2 nods | 21:09 | |
| akgraner | and associates news and fridge for people | 21:09 |
| akgraner | so hopefully Ubuntu News and The Fridge will mean the same in people's minds | 21:10 |
| akgraner | doctormo, is that too tall of an order? | 21:10 |
| akgraner | oh and we go live on Sunday :-) | 21:10 |
| doctormo | akgraner: Working on it. | 21:11 |
| pleia2 | I think I'm going to need to send doctormo a christmas card stuffed with cash for all the work I've asked him to do this year :) | 21:11 |
| akgraner | doctormo, you rock!!! thank you! | 21:11 |
| akgraner | pleia2, I was thinking beers at UDS :-) | 21:11 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 21:11 |
| doctormo | pleia2: I'm happy to help, akgraner: Make that a good sweet wine, hard liquor or just a good non-alcoholic drink. | 21:12 |
| akgraner | :-) we can arrange that! | 21:12 |
| popey | of course one reason for the high number of hits on the rss feed is that twitter.com/ubuntunews grabs it | 21:22 |
| doctormo | akgraner, pleia2: http://imagebin.ca/view/SEPFfMm.html | 21:23 |
| akgraner | oh I like it :-) | 21:23 |
| pleia2 | nice :) | 21:23 |
| doctormo | Also available in square | 21:24 |
| akgraner | I like the rounded edge - but what do you think pleia2 (or anyone else) | 21:25 |
| pleia2 | I think rounded is good | 21:25 |
| akgraner | makes it just different enough to stand out without looking tacky :-) | 21:25 |
| doctormo | http://imagebin.ca/view/2I4aldnB.html | 21:27 |
| akgraner | I like that too, but the rounded one even better | 21:27 |
| pleia2 | I like rounded better | 21:28 |
| doctormo | OK | 21:29 |
| popey | here's a thing | 21:40 |
| popey | ubuntu-news is (allegedly) "official" news isnt it? | 21:41 |
| doctormo | This isn't what you asked for: http://imagebin.ca/view/zRmaKO.html | 21:41 |
| popey | we should know whats going on | 21:41 |
| akgraner | hey newz2000 look at http://voices.canonical.com/ is that list supposed to over the posts? | 21:41 |
| popey | does it give people the wrong impression if we're asking for news? | 21:41 |
| newz2000 | akgraner: if seems reasonable considering those images are huge | 21:42 |
| akgraner | ahh ok | 21:42 |
| akgraner | just looked weird to me :-) | 21:42 |
| akgraner | popey, well - we'll have to tell people we reserve the right to verify all articles and story suggestions | 21:43 |
| akgraner | and we ask for news now too | 21:43 |
| popey | sure | 21:43 |
| akgraner | it's just not as noticeable | 21:43 |
| akgraner | but I think the only time people see the submit news ideas is for UWN | 21:44 |
| akgraner | but we really want the community helping us find the news b/c we aren't everywhere | 21:45 |
| akgraner | I guess that can go on the about page - suggestions and guidelines for stories - with a link to the wikis for a more detailed explanation | 21:47 |
| doctormo | The background is there for show only: http://imagebin.ca/view/6vaNdbD7.html <- pleia2, akgraner and popey | 21:48 |
| akgraner | doctormo, can the circle be the "circle of friends" with the newspaper in it? | 21:50 |
| akgraner | I like though | 21:50 |
| doctormo | I tried that, it looked very awkward | 21:50 |
| akgraner | ahhh ok | 21:51 |
| akgraner | :-) | 21:52 |
| doctormo | akgraner: Besides this way it shows ubuntu in the news rather than news just for the inner circle ;-) | 21:56 |
| doctormo | If you'd like me to come up with more designs, I could always pinch some ideas from thorwil, he's great *dreamy eyes* | 21:58 |
| akgraner | I like it.. :-) but if you want to run it past someone else that would be fine to - but will go with it as it is right now | 21:59 |
| akgraner | doctormo, can I send the link to the News image as is or is there another file that I should send to have it added to the banner? | 22:01 |
| akgraner | doctormo, nm - you said background was for show | 22:05 |
| doctormo | akgraner: Yea the background is from what you already have, so what I will give you is a bunch of svg files. | 22:06 |
| doctormo | Second design: http://imagebin.ca/view/zlvJ1-rn.html <- pleia2, popey, akgraner | 22:07 |
| akgraner | hmmm | 22:11 |
| akgraner | I think I like the 1st one | 22:11 |
| doctormo | http://imagebin.ca/view/DF_gaME.html slight texture change | 22:13 |
| popey | do/6 | 22:18 |
| popey | bah | 22:18 |
| popey | .6 | 22:18 |
| akgraner | newz2000, here is the rss feed to the new site - http://ubuntu-news.org/?feed=rss2 | 22:23 |
| akgraner | doctormo, thank you!!! | 22:26 |
| akgraner | logo and news button - done :-) thanks doctormo again | 22:27 |
| akgraner | nick is adding those now | 22:28 |
| akgraner | (I think) | 22:29 |
| akgraner | nhandler, hey did you set up the twitter feeds? | 22:29 |
| akgraner | also how to to whom do we need to talk to to get this forwarded to the Forums | 22:30 |
| doctormo | akgraner: You guys are welcome, happy to help. | 22:31 |
| newz2000 | akgraner: ok, thanks | 22:31 |
| akgraner | see ya in a week! | 22:31 |
| akgraner | doctormo, I mean 2 weeks | 22:32 |
| akgraner | ugh - all the days are running together | 22:32 |
| akgraner | heck 3 weeks even | 22:32 |
| akgraner | whatever see ya at UDS - blah! | 22:32 |
| popey | akgraner: technically thats not the feed url | 22:33 |
| nhandler | akWhat twitter feeds? | 22:33 |
| popey | http://ubuntu-news.org/feed is | 22:34 |
| nhandler | akgraner: If we are ready, I can get the forum link taken care of. I already poked someone about that a few weeks ago | 22:35 |
| akgraner | UGH | 22:35 |
| nhandler | akgraner: But what twitter feeds were you talking about? The UDS ones? | 22:35 |
| akgraner | the ones that get posted to twitter when something is posted on the Fridge | 22:36 |
| akgraner | popey, so the rss feed that newz needs is? what you listed above for the feedburner re-direct | 22:37 |
| nhandler | akgraner: What account is that? I know I setup a few rss2twitter accounts, but I'm not sure if I did that one | 22:37 |
| popey | 22:34:05 < popey> http://ubuntu-news.org/feed is | 22:37 |
| akgraner | newz2000, ^^^^ | 22:37 |
| akgraner | nhandler, ubuntunews | 22:39 |
| akgraner | we'd like to keep ubuntunews as the twitter account | 22:41 |
| nhandler | akgraner: I didn't register it. First post I am seeing is from December 24, 2007. I'm not sure who registered it. Maybe boredandblogging ? | 22:49 |
| akgraner | he said he didn't | 22:50 |
| akgraner | hmmm | 22:50 |
| nhandler | Well, I just did a forgot my password for that account. So everyone, just check your inbox ;) | 22:56 |
| akgraner | thanks | 22:56 |
| akgraner | doctormo, can you change the "send news tip" button to "submit" news tip? | 23:01 |
| popey | the worst thing would be if that account was setup with an @ubuntu.com address for someone who is no longer a member | 23:09 |
| doctormo | akgraner: yes | 23:10 |
| doctormo | akgraner: But so could you, either with inkscape or a text editor. | 23:10 |
| akgraner | oh really :-) I'll give it a try then :-) woo hoo! | 23:11 |
| akgraner | brb | 23:11 |
| popey | i reckon I know who regsitered the twitter :) | 23:18 |
| popey | bit of detective work | 23:18 |
| popey | going back through all the stories on the old fridge, i found one published on the 23rd | 23:18 |
| popey | Corey Burger | 23:19 |
| popey | I'll drop him a mail | 23:19 |
| popey | done | 23:20 |
| nhandler | Nice job popey. I thought most of the older fridge posts all showed up as coming from a dummy editors account, which is why I didn't look | 23:21 |
| popey | they did, but he put his name on one :) | 23:22 |
| popey | http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1279 | 23:22 |
| popey | not damning evidence, but good enough | 23:22 |
| akgraner | popey thanks! | 23:22 |
| popey | nick has lots of identi.ca ones | 23:23 |
| akgraner | doctormo, your were right - I used inkscape and changed it :-) | 23:23 |
| popey | akgraner: is nick _sure_ he didn't, he made twitter.com/planetubuntu | 23:24 |
| akgraner | I told him to check his email | 23:24 |
| akgraner | :-/ | 23:24 |
| popey | heh | 23:24 |
| akgraner | ok so what else are we missing? | 23:25 |
| akgraner | logo's are going in | 23:26 |
| akgraner | new links will be added | 23:26 |
| akgraner | we have identified rss feeds and newz2000 will fix that redirect | 23:26 |
| akgraner | Ok I guess one of us needs to post to the old fridge - and just mention we are moving so s#$t might break | 23:27 |
| newz2000 | akgraner: I'm getting non-commitall answers from IS | 23:27 |
| * akgraner bangs my head on my keyboard | 23:27 | |
| akgraner | on the re-direct? | 23:28 |
| nhandler | popey: Hmm...I should talk to him about @planetubuntu. I have @planetubuntu on identi.ca | 23:28 |
| akgraner | newz2000, what else do they need? | 23:28 |
| popey | we should unify these accounts | 23:29 |
| newz2000 | akgraner: Just time to think about it, I suspect | 23:29 |
| popey | have them in escrow | 23:29 |
| popey | we have so many accounts all over the place | 23:29 |
| akgraner | ugh - they've had a whole cycle | 23:29 |
| popey | worst day to flip the switch though akgraner to be fair to them | 23:29 |
| popey | y'know there's like two days in the entire year which are least best for them :D | 23:30 |
| akgraner | yeah I know - but other Canonical people thought it was a great idea for it to go live with the new release | 23:31 |
| popey | of course :) | 23:31 |
| akgraner | hmmm | 23:31 |
| popey | ideas don't write mod-rewrite rules though :) | 23:31 |
| akgraner | I know | 23:31 |
| popey | *hugs* | 23:32 |
| doctormo | akgraner: All part of the job of encouraging self sustainablity. | 23:32 |
| doctormo | popey: yet | 23:32 |
| akgraner | :-) | 23:32 |
| akgraner | newz2000, let me know if there is anything else I need to do to nudge people in that direction | 23:34 |
| akgraner | not that I have influence... but will help where I can | 23:35 |
| akgraner | you told them the get full access to the server and all that jazz right? | 23:37 |
| akgraner | I just need to know who needs it | 23:37 |
| akgraner | so I can send all their information to Nick | 23:38 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Once we release the new fridge, we should probably do a mini Q&A/training session in here for editors | 23:46 |
| akgraner | nods | 23:48 |
| akgraner | so we need a Welcome to Ubuntu News on The Fridge post linking to the about page - and we need a post on the old fridge saying we're moving | 23:51 |
| akgraner | and the about page needs to be updated | 23:52 |
| doctormo | akgraner: How would I become a source of Ubuntu News? How would I be able to automatically feed ubuntu-related announcement blog entries directly there? For the art community etc. | 23:54 |
| akgraner | one sec phone | 23:58 |
| akgraner | brb | 23:58 |
