[09:42] <akgraner> (I get email on my phone)
[09:42] <nigelb> ok, I'll take a look at it post lunch
[09:43] <akgraner> I'll need about a week before I can even think about anything else - and just wanted you all to know  what was going on and that you all rock - if in doubt what needs to go where please look at back issues

[09:44] <akgraner> nigelb, thanks!
[12:04] <alourie> akgraner: oh,
[12:22]  * alourie hugs Amber
[13:05] <alourie> akgraner: I hope you get the house back
[13:06] <nhandler> +1 alourie
[13:06] <nhandler> But I'm glad everyone is safe
[13:10] <akgraner> alourie, nhandler thanks!
[13:11] <akgraner> we are supposed to have a News Session at UDS this afternoon at 1700 EST
[13:11] <akgraner> not sure if that is still going to happen or not but I'll let everyone know
[13:13] <akgraner> big thing for today is to get johnc4510 to publish 215 for us if he will
[13:13] <akgraner> :-)
[13:13] <akgraner> I'm sorry this is the "bus" issues I was trying to prepare for :-/
[13:13] <akgraner> we'll get there and this is a great use case :-)
[13:24] <buxy> nhandler: do you know who is behind the @Ubuntu_OS twitter account and who has admin right on the official ubuntulinux facebook page?
[13:44] <nhandler> buxy: They are only official because people call them that. Someone just decided to start them up (we have other twitter/facebook stuff as well). But no, I don't know who actually has access to them or if they are still around
[13:46] <buxy> Well, I don't mind some bazar-like organization but wouldn't it be good to have some consistency and group management under the UbuntuNewsTeam umbrella?
[13:47] <alourie> buxy: true, but UNT is not a mafia group. If someone without connection to UNT had created those pages, we only can hope it is done "the right way"
[13:48] <buxy> A facebook page with 250000 subscribers is official no matter who started it and deserve some care IMO and the way it has been (ab)used to kick off @Ubuntu_OS seems unprofessional to me, I wanted to see how we can improve this
[13:49] <alourie> buxy: what's the link again?
[13:49] <buxy> http://www.facebook.com/ubuntulinux
[13:50] <highvoltage> akgraner: eek! I hope things will be ok!
[13:50] <buxy> and the page got misconfigured to show all wall posts by default, which is also a mistake IMO
[13:52] <alourie> yea
[13:52] <alourie> buxy: well, maybe someone around Jono will know
[13:53] <buxy> alourie: yeah, I mailed him last week, still waiting an answer, pinged him today about this
[13:53] <alourie> buxy: don't forget, it is a UDS week, so don't expect too much in the near future
[13:54] <alourie> I'm sure he's quite busy
[13:54] <alourie> nhandler: are you at UDS?
[13:54] <buxy> I know, I'm not in a hurry but I mailed before UDS :)
[13:57] <nhandler> alourie: No.
[14:08] <highvoltage> akgraner: I just read your blog entry. really sorry to hear it and glad that you're all safe!
[16:51] <pleia2> the ubuntu_os twitter account was started by someone on -marketing, he was actually asking for help with it the other day
