| nhandler | akgraner, pleia2: Resolving that issue with all posts looking like they were made by boredandblogging was easier than I thought. I moved them to show up as being from 'Ubuntu News Contributor', which is probably the best we can do. Feel free to go through and edit your posts to show up as really being from you if you want | 03:45 |
|---|---|---|
| nhandler | akgraner: Also, should we change the admin email address to some address that we actually have access to (instead of boredandblogging's address) ? | 04:07 |
| akgraner | nhandler, :-) yep but can we hold off just a little bit...(insult to injury) | 04:38 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Yep, no problem. It isn't really used for much, and as long as we have access to the admin cp, we can always change it if necessary | 04:38 |
| akgraner | nods | 04:39 |
| nhandler | I also want to look into modifying the fridge to display the time in addition to the date of posts. I need to see if this is controlled by the theme (I think it is) | 04:39 |
| akgraner | nhandler, great - also could you modify it to where the links are the orange color and once read they turn purple | 05:08 |
| akgraner | Nick had fixed that for me but on new posts they are showing up gray now | 05:08 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Posibly. CSS/web design isn't my strong area, but I could probably figure that out (especially now that I can easily grep the theme files and modify them) | 05:08 |
| akgraner | nhandler, no worries.. I just manually change them right now so it's not a huge issue | 05:09 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Is that what you are doing? Be careful with that, it made a few links look really strange in an rss reader (where different style/formatting rules are applied) | 05:10 |
| akgraner | :-( sigh | 05:11 |
| akgraner | If links don't stand out on a page then I will never click them... | 05:11 |
| nhandler | akgraner: I'll try to fix the css to solve this problem the right way ;) | 05:11 |
| nhandler | But right now, I need to close irssi. Otherwise, I'll never finish this paper ;) | 05:12 |
| akgraner | hehe | 05:12 |
| nhandler | Night | 05:12 |
| akgraner | Night | 05:12 |
| alourie | akgraner: hi amber | 08:11 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: cool, looks good :) | 08:17 |
| akgraner | Good Morning :-) | 13:34 |
| highvoltage | good morning akgraner! | 13:38 |
| akgraner | alourie, highvoltage hey! | 13:39 |
| akgraner | Trying to get this ready my 10am my time - which is in about an hour and 20 minutes :-) I start my new job today so not sure what this day is going to bring - but I am excited | 13:40 |
| highvoltage | akgraner: \o/ yay | 13:42 |
| Pendulum | akgraner: ready for your first day of work? | 13:42 |
| akgraner | Ok I think I am just blind - can someone look here - http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon and see if you can grab the link to jono's broadcast on the October 13 - cause I am not seeing it | 13:42 |
| highvoltage | maybe they can do for you like they do for my job, they allocate a certain amount of hours a week for me to work on community stuff | 13:42 |
| akgraner | Pendulum, I dunno? Rikki and I have a call this morning | 13:42 |
| highvoltage | so when we plan my next week I know that there will be enough time for community commitments | 13:42 |
| akgraner | highvoltage, I'll have time this is just a part time gig :-) | 13:43 |
| highvoltage | akgraner: nice | 13:43 |
| akgraner | There are a few more summaries that need to be added and a few more links for sneak peek I'm adding | 13:43 |
| akgraner | Could you all check for spelling errors etc and double check the links in the Development team meetings and verify that the upcoming meetings and event times are correct, and IRC channels are correct b/c they all don't take place in -meeting | 13:45 |
| akgraner | that would be a huge help | 13:45 |
| alourie | akgraner: I've seen you already switched to 215 on etherpad and fixed ITP. Thanks for that :-) | 13:45 |
| akgraner | ps I'm in the wiki right now | 13:45 |
| akgraner | alourie yep - I find feeds that are for the next issue when I am double checking my feeds gotta have someplace to put stuff when I come across it before the next issue is published :-) | 13:46 |
| * highvoltage checks over before 9am meeting | 13:48 | |
| akgraner | popey, I love the titles you all have for the UK Podcast - adding it to UWN now :-) | 13:50 |
| akgraner | highvoltage, thanks | 13:50 |
| popey | :) | 13:51 |
| highvoltage | (added utouch description but it's not perfect yet) | 13:52 |
| popey | akgraner: the episode titles are very carefully selected | 13:53 |
| akgraner | I <3 them :-) | 13:53 |
| popey | the first season were Elvis songs, second season was Dr Who episode names.. | 13:54 |
| popey | this season.. :) | 13:54 |
| akgraner | hmmm - there is my something shiny for today :-P | 13:59 |
| akgraner | why is it every time I go to save the wiki I get internal sever error | 14:04 |
| akgraner | but it still saves it | 14:04 |
| akgraner | weird | 14:04 |
| alourie | akgraner: it just messes with you | 14:08 |
| akgraner | :-) | 14:10 |
| akgraner | it's gotta be a Monday thing | 14:10 |
| akgraner | Ok I'm going to finish these summaries :-) Y'all take a look and see if we are leaving anything out | 14:11 |
| akgraner | internalkernel, Thunderbird and I are not friends at the moment - when you get back the the Western NC area you gotta help show me what the heck I've done to my inbox | 14:15 |
| internalkernel | akgraner: lol, no worries... I just switched up to evolution again... it seems to have made some progress... | 14:22 |
| akgraner | internalkernel, I have it too but I can receive mail but I have the send stuff screwed up on evolution... SIGH | 14:24 |
| akgraner | talk about email fail | 14:24 |
| internalkernel | lol... you can always delete your ~/.evolution folder and just reconfigure everything, you use gmail right? | 14:24 |
| akgraner | I am about as screwed up a soup sandwich on switching from gmail to something else | 14:24 |
| internalkernel | soup sandwich - I haven't heard that one... | 14:26 |
| internalkernel | if I wasn't at work, I'd say just call me... but we can work something out a bit later today if your in need of getting it up and working | 14:27 |
| akgraner | well the expression is usually more em er how do I say it - colorful | 14:27 |
| akgraner | internalkernel, no worries - I still have gmail, Thunderbird is working but feels weird and well evolution can wait atm | 14:28 |
| internalkernel | cool... | 14:28 |
| akgraner | thanks though if I can't figure this out by Friday - I am riding to UDS with people who can help me during the 9 hour drive - muahahaha | 14:29 |
| internalkernel | lmao... forced tech support - but all geeks love it... | 14:30 |
| akgraner | of course they've already told me "Amber silence is golden, duct tape is silver!" | 14:30 |
| internalkernel | oooohhh, that's goin in the repertoire... :) | 14:30 |
| akgraner | ok I can't find the link to Jono's last Community QA last week - anyone else have any luck? I emailed jono about it yesterday as well.. | 14:32 |
| akgraner | I added names in Credits please check to make sure if you contributed to this week's issue your name is there | 14:33 |
| akgraner | I think I have all the summaries and there are no links with no summaries (except in Sneak Peek) can someone else review it please | 14:34 |
| akgraner | Pendulum, do you have time? | 14:34 |
| Pendulum | akgraner: yep, I'll look now :) | 14:35 |
| akgraner | Pendulum, thank you! | 14:35 |
| akgraner | We need a Debian/Ubuntu and GNOME/Ubuntu personal to help find a couple posts each week from those areas - suggestions on who I can go talk to see if they will contribute each week?? | 14:36 |
| Pendulum | I can't easily do summaries due to my hands, but I've found one thing without a summary so far | 14:39 |
| akgraner | Pendulum, no worries - which section I'll get it | 14:40 |
| akgraner | In the press right | 14:40 |
| akgraner | the school stuff :-/ I'm on it | 14:40 |
| alourie | yea, about school | 14:40 |
| alourie | akgraner: the rest seems fine | 14:40 |
| Pendulum | popey: is marK Johnson correct capitolisation for his name? | 14:41 |
| Pendulum | (it's how it's in the UUPC notes) | 14:42 |
| popey | its intentional | 14:42 |
| Pendulum | just double checking :) | 14:42 |
| popey | he is a KDE user :) | 14:43 |
| Pendulum | haha | 14:43 |
| akgraner | added saving now | 14:45 |
| Pendulum | akgraner: the only other thing I noticed is that in the summary about Duncan McGreggor's posts on uTouch, it should have his last anem | 14:45 |
| Pendulum | *name | 14:45 |
| * akgraner looks | 14:45 | |
| akgraner | on it | 14:46 |
| akgraner | saving now | 14:50 |
| akgraner | Anyone see anything else? | 15:00 |
| akgraner | ok I'll go back over it one more time and get this out the door - thanks y'all | 15:04 |
| alourie | akgraner: Jono's link missing, I'm on it | 15:09 |
| akgraner | alourie, yep - I can't find it - so I may just pull it this week | 15:09 |
| akgraner | it should be the 1st one in his list on the site but it's not there | 15:09 |
| alourie | yea | 15:10 |
| alourie | I see that | 15:10 |
| akgraner | I think sept is the last one listed | 15:10 |
| alourie | give me 5 more minutes | 15:10 |
| akgraner | k | 15:10 |
| akgraner | thanks | 15:10 |
| alourie | akgraner: the last one is from sep 29th, there's no other after that | 15:11 |
| alourie | so I'd suggest we push it to the next week | 15:11 |
| akgraner | k thanks I'm pulling it for this week | 15:12 |
| akgraner | he'll do another one on Wednesday | 15:12 |
| akgraner | I'll remind him to post the links :-) | 15:12 |
| alourie | akgraner: great | 15:12 |
| alourie | I hope he does, sometimes he misses a week or so | 15:12 |
| akgraner | yep that he does - for example I know he'll miss the one at UDS | 15:13 |
| akgraner | unless we can talk him into doing one from UDS | 15:13 |
| akgraner | ohh there's an idea | 15:13 |
| alourie | that's actually a really good idea | 15:15 |
| alourie | there's also a company that will video everything in HD, right? | 15:15 |
| akgraner | I'll work on that | 15:15 |
| akgraner | depends if they are their or not this time - I haven't gotten confirmation | 15:16 |
| akgraner | But we'll have access to HD equipment | 15:16 |
| alourie | great | 15:19 |
| akgraner | crap I missed the Developer Board people - let me see who we need to welcome - :-) - stupid email filters | 15:21 |
| alourie | oh :-) | 15:21 |
| akgraner | wasn't there a Kubuntu Membership meeting as well | 15:22 |
| akgraner | was Valerie the only new Kubuntu Member last week? | 15:22 |
| akgraner | also I am beginning to get comments from developers in response to various ITP/ION/ITB posts - I guess we are going to need an editorial area at some point | 15:24 |
| Pendulum | akgraner: nice to know they're reading :) | 15:27 |
| akgraner | yep it is | 15:27 |
| akgraner | I was supposed to crank out an interview based on the comments last week - but I ran out of daylight | 15:28 |
| akgraner | With Pete traveling for almost 5 weeks straight even little things around the house and with the kids get to be a logistical issue :-/ | 15:29 |
| alourie | akgraner: :-) | 15:31 |
| alourie | maybe u-news will become something more | 15:31 |
| akgraner | alourie, that's what the hope is | 15:32 |
| akgraner | :-) | 15:32 |
| alourie | sure | 15:34 |
| akgraner | with each new personality and contribution combine with each new idea and tweak - it only gets better and better | 15:35 |
| akgraner | brb | 15:35 |
| akgraner | surprising result from the survey so far over 50% said they prefer Monday to get the newsletter - whew | 15:38 |
| akgraner | I'm so glad... | 15:38 |
| alourie | so, nothing needs to be changed :-) | 15:39 |
| akgraner | unless more responses shift that this next week | 15:42 |
| akgraner | I'm going to keep the survey open for another week to give 2 full weeks for people to respond | 15:43 |
| alourie | sure | 15:50 |
| alourie | akgraner: I've been thinking | 15:51 |
| alourie | how would we let people know news about UWN itself? | 15:51 |
| alourie | or ubuntu-news.org? | 15:51 |
| akgraner | alourie, let me publish this and we can talk about that | 15:51 |
| alourie | akgraner: sure | 15:51 |
| akgraner | thanks | 15:51 |
| akgraner | The new edition of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available here: | 16:23 |

| akgraner | thanks | 16:29 |
| akgraner | I'll get all the new members from last week and this upcoming week combine on issue 215 | 16:34 |
| akgraner | in case anyone asks - I'd still be looking up links :-/ | 16:34 |
| akgraner | hey popey is there a way we can set up the podcast links to automatically update when you all have a new cast? | 16:48 |
| akgraner | automatically update on ubuntu-news.org that is | 16:48 |
| popey | hmm | 16:49 |
| popey | possibly, lemme think about it | 16:49 |
| akgraner | k thanks - I just don't want to forget about updating it | 17:06 |
| akgraner | pleia2, et al - what do you think about including the links this way on the UWN announcement - http://ubuntu-news.org/?p=2869&preview=true | 17:07 |
| alourie | akgraner: you should update your signature to askubuntu.org :-) | 17:08 |
| akgraner | it was but I have to change them all | 17:08 |
| alourie | :-) | 17:08 |
| pleia2 | I like it | 17:08 |
| akgraner | I'll go with it and see what feedback we get | 17:09 |
| alourie | akgraner: I must run now, we'll speak tomorrow then :-) | 17:09 |
| akgraner | alourie, yep. | 17:09 |
| akgraner | thanks for all your help! | 17:09 |
| alourie | akgraner: sure, but I'm just doing a small part :-) | 17:13 |
