akgranernhandler, thank you13:16
akgranernewz2000, yep - we'll do what we have to make this as smooth as possible - nhandler thank you!13:18
akgranernhandler, people can do both as far as submitting news I think...13:18
akgranerwould it be that big of an issue to have them do it that way13:19
akgranerThanks everyone - sorry I wasn't in here yesterday much - my kids had a band competition and early this morning I was at the hospital - seems I was dehydrated and I have a lovely case of strep - I'll do what I can today but will be relying a little heavily on everyone for the next couple of days - Again sorry :-(13:26
akgranernhandler, ok I'll send it to ubuntu-news if you haven't already13:37
akgranernhandler, ok I see you have already - thank you!!!13:38
akgranerPosting the release announcement now on  ubuntu-news13:53
akgranerDid anyone add ubuntu-news.org feed to the planet yet?13:54
akgranernhandler, do you know if someone as added ubuntu-news.org  to post on the Forums yet?14:13
nigelbLOL, I just updated the fridge feeds on planet, ironically, my name comes up as "By Nigel Babu <nigel@debian>" on the log :p14:19
akgranerso if I publish something on the old Fridge and not sent it to the front page - will it show up on the forums?14:29
akgranerI don't want it going to the front page but I would like it to hit the forums until the new feed "Fridge Discussions" is up and working14:30
akgranerguess I'll try it and see  :-)14:30
akgranerThere are two links in the header of Ubuntu-news that need to be changed - Anyone have time?15:23
akgranereek we need to get the Fridge editors add as editors to the ubuntu-news.org15:24
akgranerok those links are fixed now15:47
akgranertake a look at ubuntu-news now and see what else you all think needs to be fixed15:48
akgranerlet me add a wiki for a todo list we can all add too15:48
akgranerHere is a link to the todo's that still need to be done  - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge/ToDo16:14
akgranerha I guess that is what a todo list is - items that still need to be done - DOH!16:14
popey15:32:49 < popey> there are some duplicate links on the right of the site16:20
popeystill there16:20
=== bn7t is now known as se7enBN
=== se7enBN is now known as _7bn
akgranerpopey, yep I'm pulling those now16:39
popeythe whole 'more resources' section should go imo16:39
nhandlerakgraner: I just updated the 10.10 announcement. No need for the <pre> tags, and you need to unwrap the email. I also used <cite> tags for the citation16:44
akgranerok16:46
akgranerbut in Wordpress why use the cite tag?16:46
akgranerWordpress makes it so you can just add stuff highlight it and drop in the link16:46
akgranerMore resources I changed to More Sites16:47
akgranerand added links to various Ubuntu related sites16:47
akgranerexcept it's not showing up yet16:47
akgranergrrrr16:47
akgranernhandler, I am just wondering why use <cite> that's all - does it do something behind the scenes you don't see visually16:48
nhandlerakgraner: That is just what the <cite> tag is designed for, showing citations. We could also adjust the css to format the citations different (which I think we should do)16:50
akgranerpopey, ok so I changed the resources but they aren't showing up16:50
nhandlerIt also keeps us consistant with all the old posts that have it16:50
nhandlerakgraner: Did you hit save?16:50
akgraneryep16:50
popeyit is here16:50
popeyi see resources and other sites16:50
nhandlerakgraner: Also, I took a bunch of todo items. Feel free to steal some. Otherwise, I will take care of them16:50
akgraner:-) nhandler that's awesome - thanks16:51
nhandlerakgraner: Were you trying to remove resources?16:51
akgranerhmm wonder why I don't16:51
akgranernope16:51
akgranerjust update some stuff16:51
akgranerok now I see it16:51
akgranernhandler, can you update the css or does nick need to that16:52
nhandlerakgraner: I believe we can update it ourselves. We would need to talk to a website person to get it pushed back to the bzr branch though16:52
akgraneroh yeah - wanna add that to the list of todo's16:53
popeyor take a copy locally and push it back16:53
akgranerso when we make changes we need to push those back to bzr16:53
popeyno need to actually push from the server16:53
popeynot necessarily16:53
akgranerok so I need to get nick to do that then?16:53
popeyno16:53
popey:)16:53
popeysee all the above lines starting "no"16:53
popey:)16:53
nhandlerakgraner: We don't need to push it back. I think it is just nice to share changes we make to the theme with other people using it.16:54
popeysure, but whoever makes the changes can take a copy of the css and bzr push from their local machine16:54
akgranernhandler, :-) yeah I do to - I just don't know how to do that part  - (insert whining here)16:54
popeythere's _no_ requirement to push directly from the server16:54
popeyakgraner: delegate16:54
akgranerahh ok16:54
akgranerpopey, ok can you push the css stuffs then :-)16:55
nhandlerakgraner: We'll handle that when we have changes to actually send back ;)16:55
popey+116:55
akgranerpopey, I was just whining b/c it's something I would like to know how to do16:55
akgranernot that I want to be the one to do it :-)16:55
popeysure, learn, but i dont think thats priority one :)16:55
akgraneranyone else having trouble getting to ubuntu-news.org17:04
akgranerbefore I call nick17:04
nhandlerakgraner: Wow17:04
akgraner???17:04
nhandlerOh, nm. I did ubuntu-news.net . Yeah, I'm having problems17:04
nhandlerChances are, it is due to all of the people viewing the announcement post17:05
popeyrouting loop17:05
akgranerpopey, what does routing loop mean17:05
popeymeans you cant get to the box17:05
popeyhang on just one mo17:05

akgranerwonder if we go the slashdot effect here?  and how can you tell?17:15
akgranerno sure I like ubuntu-news.net with the google ads and not the right theme and stuff...17:16
akgraner:-/17:16
popeyunlikely17:18
popeyI would be _very_ interested to know what actually happened, this very issue happens to my blog sometimes17:18
popeyand i want a fix!17:18
popeyand i am running the same version of wordpress/php/ubuntu I suspect17:18
akgraner:-)  email nick and ask him17:18
* popey does this17:19
akgranerok is there away to have some redundant system where if one goes down another server just picks it up and poof it's back online?17:19
popeyhehehe17:20
popeyanything is possible ;)17:21
akgranerpopey, are you making fun of me :-P17:21
popeyheh17:21
popeynot intentionally :)17:21
akgranerhehe17:21
popeybut /10917:23
popeybah17:23
akgranerI was thinking like a script or something  - notice there is a problem comes in - you run a script - and within minutes you are back up  - presto chango  - like magic17:23
popeythis is a very common request17:24
akgranerpopey, is it doable request17:27
highvoltagehey all!17:31
highvoltagenew news site = nice!17:31
highvoltageI haven't had time to do my UWN section yet, been a crazy week!!! (but will do so today)17:31
akgranerhighvoltage, no worries - I have to combine last weeks and this weeks17:32
akgranerthis should be a joy17:32
highvoltageakgraner: how so?17:32
akgranersarcasm :-)17:33
akgranerso issue issue 213 will 2 weeks worth of stuff...17:33
akgranerunless I say 213  - not published17:34
akgranerwhich I won't do ;-)17:34
akgranerand wednesday the new wiki theme goes live17:36
akgranerUGH17:36
highvoltageaaaah17:36
highvoltagethe light-theme that's been selectable already?17:36
highvoltagethat was quite horrible the last time I looked at it, so I hope it's not that :)17:36
akgraneryep that's it17:37
akgranerAlanBell has been hacking on it - to make it better17:37
akgranerbut the markup we'll have to add to make it look good in that theme - makes it look not so good on the wiki's for kubuntu and edubuntu17:37
alourieakgraner: I just added few more links for the UWN 213. Hope it's not too late :-)17:38
akgraneralourie, no not this week :-)17:38
akgranerit's been  but nuts17:39
alourieyea :-)17:39
akgranerblah  - it's been a bit nuts I meant17:39
alouriegotcha17:39
akgraner:-)17:39
highvoltageheh17:42
akgranerpopey, nhandler etc all - should we have links to CC, LC, FC, IRC, and membership board wiki's17:55
popeyi dont think so18:05
popeyi dont think anyone will click any links anyway18:05
highvoltagesomoen just asked me what's up with the ubuntu-news site? (currently showing It works!)18:38
akgranerhmmm they are working on it...18:44
akgranerI'll have a better explanation in a little while18:45
akgranerhighvoltage, hmm not sure it's working  - we're rebuilding it from a backup at the moment...18:57
highvoltageit's not, it just says "It works!" ;)18:57
akgranerahhh ok18:57
akgraner:-)18:58
akgranersorry - :-(18:58
akgranerin a few  hours we'll have that redundancy I was asking about earlier18:58
highvoltagecool.19:00
akgranerThis the worst day ever- seems like everything that can go wrong is19:04
akgraner:-(19:04
akgranerboo19:04
highvoltageakgraner: it will work out in the end19:10
nhandlerakgraner: I agree with popey, the links to the various councils aren't necessary. We should focus on the news, not trying to be a portal for the entire community19:28
akgraner:-)19:31
nhandlerakgraner: I'm moving loco events from the fridge calendar to the loco calendar. I've copied them, should I remove them from the fridge calendar as well?21:11

* highvoltage is kind of confused :)23:23
