[00:00] <akgraner> #startmeeting
[00:00] <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]
[00:01] <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/
[00:02] <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> :-)
[00:03] <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/
[00:04] <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
[00:05] <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
[00:06] <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 :)
[00:07] <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
[00:08] <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
[00:09] <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
[00:10] <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?
[00:11] <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
[00:12] <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...
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <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
[00:16]  * 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?
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <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
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <popey> you dont have to
[00:23] <popey> you can, but you dont have to
[00:23] <akgraner> ahh ok
[00:24] <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
[00:25] <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
[00:26] <akgraner> ahh that's right sorry I forgot
[00:26] <akgraner> popey thanks
[00:27] <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?
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <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)
[00:30] <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
[00:31] <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?
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <pleia2> :)
[00:33] <akgraner> pleia2, I am sure there is a way - just got find it :-)
[00:34] <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
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <akgraner> but that's not pressing atm
[00:36] <akgraner> so any other suggestions? thoughts? comments?
[00:37] <pleia2> great work to all the people who worked on it :)
[00:38] <akgraner> thanks- I'll send out thank you's on Sunday from the whole team.
[00:39] <akgraner> So the plan is to roll this out on Sunday with the new release..
[00:39] <akgraner> any objections?
[00:40] <akgraner> so all the "offical" stuff rolls out together
[00:41] <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
[00:42] <pleia2> not me :\
[00:42] <akgraner> UWN looks aweful with the new theme
[00:42] <akgraner> awful even
[00:43] <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
[00:44]  * zkriesse 's ears perk up at that word.....wiki....
[00:45] <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!!!
[00:46] <Moiso> yay!
[00:46] <Moiso> Tnx
[00:47] <akgraner> and people are missing getting it on Sunday
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <akgraner> thoughts?
[00:49] <akgraner> crickets...
[00:50] <akgraner> alrighty then
[00:51] <akgraner> no comments questions thoughts on UWN?
[00:51] <akgraner> anything else from anyone? before we end the meeting?
[00:53] <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?
[00:54] <akgraner> or something else?
[00:55] <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
[00:56] <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
[00:57] <Moiso> yeeeea like me
[00:57] <akgraner> nods
[00:58] <akgraner> I was trying to find a way to use them both
[00:59] <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 :)
[01:00] <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
[01:01] <akgraner> anything else or thoughts on anything before we end?
[01:01] <akgraner> well anything fridge or UWN related
[01:02] <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
[01:03] <akgraner> motion to adjourn or does someone have anything else
[01:04] <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!
[01:05] <pleia2> thanks akgraner :)
[01:05] <akgraner> you're welcome
[01:05] <akgraner> again - sorry about the slack agenda for this meeting
[01:06] <Moiso> tnx to all of you keep up the good work
[01:07] <Moiso> keep up the good work people
[01:07] <akgraner> Moiso, I hope you will enjoy being on the team
[01:07] <akgraner> :-)
[01:10] <Moiso> I'll for sure
[01:10] <Moiso> Bye
[01:10] <akgraner> Moiso, bye :-)  thanks for attending
[03:09] <nhandler> akgraner: Sorry for missing the meeting
[03:09] <akgraner> nhandler, no worries  - so was tonight your concert?
[03:10] <nhandler> akgraner: Yeah. It was the chorus concert, but they recruited about 8 brass players to play along with them for the final piece.
[03:11] <akgraner> great!  I did the final alterations on the color guard uniforms tonight
[03:11] <akgraner> 21 of them :-)
[16:09] <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 …"
[16:10] <newz2000> (copy and pasted from my other ping in #ubuntu-website)
[16:13] <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
[16:23] <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
[16:24] <popey> whoever set that up can point feedburner at the new feed url
[16:27]  * newz2000 wonders if he did that
[16:28] <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
[16:29] <newz2000> Not everyone is using the feedburner feed
[16:34] <newz2000> here's the feed stats: http://paste.ubuntu.com/508865/
[16:36] <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)
[17:55] <popey> planet pulls from fridge
[17:56] <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
[17:57] <popey> some of those are specific to releases, e.g. http://fridge.ubuntu.com/taxonomy/term/57/0/feed is the jaunty feed
[17:58] <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
[17:59] <popey> imo
[17:59] <popey> :)
[17:59] <popey> .76
[17:59] <popey> bah :)
[18:15] <akgraner> newz2000, hey
[18:15] <akgraner> sorry had to run to my kids school
[18:16] <akgraner> nick has the new rss feed set-up now
[18:17] <akgraner> also who set up the ubuntunews twitter feed as well
[18:17] <akgraner> nick thought he had access but he doesn't
[18:22] <akgraner> newz2000, I was just thinking blind re-direct
[18:27] <akgraner> also can someone add the new rss feed to the planet
[19:43] <newz2000> I suggest updating the feedburner feed and then submitting that to planet
[19:44] <newz2000> I don't know who did the twitter stuff, it wasn't me
[19:48] <akgraner> newz2000, ahh ok will do
[21:05] <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/
[21:06] <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
[21:07] <akgraner> and a new logo -:-) we aren't going with sub-zero but need something like Ubuntu News on The Fridge or something
[21:08] <pleia2> oh, I like "Ubuntu News on The Fridge"
[21:08] <akgraner> me too
[21:08] <akgraner> I keep coming back to that
[21:09] <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
[21:10] <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 :-)
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <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!
[21:22] <popey> of course one reason for the high number of hits on the rss feed is that twitter.com/ubuntunews grabs it
[21:23] <doctormo> akgraner, pleia2: http://imagebin.ca/view/SEPFfMm.html
[21:23] <akgraner> oh I like it :-)
[21:23] <pleia2> nice :)
[21:24] <doctormo> Also available in square
[21:25] <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 :-)
[21:27] <doctormo> http://imagebin.ca/view/2I4aldnB.html
[21:27] <akgraner> I like that too, but the rounded one even better
[21:28] <pleia2> I like rounded better
[21:29] <doctormo> OK
[21:40] <popey> here's a thing
[21:41] <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?
[21:42] <newz2000> akgraner: if seems reasonable considering those images are huge
[21:42] <akgraner> ahh ok
[21:42] <akgraner> just looked weird to me :-)
[21:43] <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
[21:44] <akgraner> but I think the only time people see the submit news ideas is for UWN
[21:45] <akgraner> but we really want the community helping us find the news b/c we aren't everywhere
[21:47] <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
[21:48] <doctormo> The background is there for show only: http://imagebin.ca/view/6vaNdbD7.html <- pleia2, akgraner and popey
[21:50] <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
[21:51] <akgraner> ahhh ok
[21:52] <akgraner> :-)
[21:56] <doctormo> akgraner: Besides this way it shows ubuntu in the news rather than news just for the inner circle ;-)
[21:58] <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*
[21:59] <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
[22:01] <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?
[22:05] <akgraner> doctormo, nm - you said background was for show
[22:06] <doctormo> akgraner: Yea the background is from what you already have, so what I will give you is a bunch of svg files.
[22:07] <doctormo> Second design: http://imagebin.ca/view/zlvJ1-rn.html <- pleia2, popey, akgraner
[22:11] <akgraner> hmmm
[22:11] <akgraner> I think I like the 1st one
[22:13] <doctormo> http://imagebin.ca/view/DF_gaME.html slight texture change
[22:18] <popey> do/6
[22:18] <popey> bah
[22:18] <popey> .6
[22:23] <akgraner> newz2000, here is the rss feed to the new site - http://ubuntu-news.org/?feed=rss2
[22:26] <akgraner> doctormo, thank you!!!
[22:27] <akgraner> logo and news button - done :-)  thanks doctormo again
[22:28] <akgraner> nick is adding those now
[22:29] <akgraner> (I think)
[22:29] <akgraner> nhandler, hey did you set up the twitter feeds?
[22:30] <akgraner> also how to to whom do we need to talk to to get this forwarded to the Forums
[22:31] <doctormo> akgraner: You guys are welcome, happy to help.
[22:31] <newz2000> akgraner: ok, thanks
[22:31] <akgraner> see ya in a week!
[22:32] <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!
[22:33] <popey> akgraner: technically thats not the feed url
[22:33] <nhandler> ak	What twitter feeds?
[22:34] <popey> http://ubuntu-news.org/feed  is
[22:35] <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?
[22:36] <akgraner> the ones that get posted to twitter when something is posted on the Fridge
[22:37] <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, ^^^^
[22:39] <akgraner> nhandler, ubuntunews
[22:41] <akgraner> we'd like to keep ubuntunews as the twitter account
[22:49] <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 ?
[22:50] <akgraner> he said he didn't
[22:50] <akgraner> hmmm
[22:56] <nhandler> Well, I just did a forgot my password for that account. So everyone, just check your inbox ;)
[22:56] <akgraner> thanks
[23:01] <akgraner> doctormo, can you change the "send news tip" button to "submit" news tip?
[23:09] <popey> the worst thing would be if that account was setup with an @ubuntu.com address for someone who is no longer a member
[23:10] <doctormo> akgraner: yes
[23:10] <doctormo> akgraner: But so could you, either with inkscape or a text editor.
[23:11] <akgraner> oh really :-)  I'll give it a try then :-)  woo hoo!
[23:11] <akgraner> brb
[23:18] <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
[23:19] <popey> Corey Burger
[23:19] <popey> I'll drop him a mail
[23:20] <popey> done
[23:21] <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
[23:22] <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!
[23:23] <popey> nick has lots of identi.ca ones
[23:23] <akgraner> doctormo, your were right  - I used inkscape and changed it :-)
[23:24] <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
[23:25] <akgraner> ok so what else  are we missing?
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <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?
[23:29] <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
[23:30] <popey> y'know there's like two days in the entire year which are least best for them :D
[23:31] <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
[23:32] <popey> *hugs*
[23:32] <doctormo> akgraner: All part of the job of encouraging self sustainablity.
[23:32] <doctormo> popey: yet
[23:32] <akgraner> :-)
[23:34] <akgraner> newz2000, let me know if there is anything else I need to do to nudge people in that direction
[23:35] <akgraner> not that I have influence... but will help where I can
[23:37] <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
[23:38] <akgraner> so I can send all their information to Nick
[23:46] <nhandler> akgraner: Once we release the new fridge, we should probably do a mini Q&A/training session in here for editors
[23:48] <akgraner> nods
[23:51] <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
[23:52] <akgraner> and the about page needs to be updated
[23:54] <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.
[23:58] <akgraner> one sec phone
