| alourie | good morning | 09:16 |
|---|---|---|
| highvoltage | hi alourie | 19:58 |
| Pendulum | johnc4510: are you around? | 20:05 |
| highvoltage | so are we dead while akgraner is away? :( | 21:57 |
| Pendulum | highvoltage: that's what I'm trying to figure out. She sid she'd talked to johnc4510 about getting them out, but I've not heard anything from him. | 22:12 |
| Pendulum | if I knew how to get things done and out, I'd be happy to take care of it, but I don't know what needs to happen to release :( | 22:13 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: I was thinking that perhaps an impromptu release might be adequate in this situation? | 22:21 |
| highvoltage | as in, it probably doesn't have to be perfect. | 22:21 |
| Pendulum | right. I agree there. I'm just not sure what needs to happen in terms of how things get sent out, etc. | 22:22 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: I can help you figure it out, if you want | 22:22 |
| Pendulum | and I still have enough ubuflu that I'm a little nervous about messing that up | 22:22 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue215 is close to being finished, at least | 22:23 |
| highvoltage | would be nice and probably not that hard getting that out the door | 22:24 |
| Pendulum | do we still have an etherpad with links for that week? | 22:24 |
| Pendulum | becaues there's nothing in ITB | 22:24 |
| * highvoltage checks | 22:24 | |
| highvoltage | ITB? | 22:24 |
| Pendulum | in the blogsphere | 22:24 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/UWN | 22:25 |
| Pendulum | *nods* | 22:25 |
| highvoltage | ah, except that that's pretty empty :/ | 22:26 |
| Pendulum | i'm just worried aboutr finding links that are that old to stick in there | 22:26 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: imho even releasing it without an ITB section at this point will be better than not releasing | 22:26 |
| Pendulum | yeah. i'm thinking if we pull that section, come up with some quick GCN from what's there, and write an intro? | 22:27 |
| highvoltage | I don't think there's any rules against adding stuff in later editions that we've missed before either | 22:27 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: *nod* | 22:27 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: if you want, I can find *something* to put in there. it won't necessarily be exciting :) | 22:27 |
| highvoltage | (but there's lots of stuff in my feed reader(s)) | 22:27 |
| Pendulum | also we can pull launchpad news (which I have no qualms about pulling because it's not something we have all the time anyway) | 22:28 |
| Pendulum | nah. I think we can put in our intro that "we're sorry this is several weeks late, however, due to a personal emergency of our lovely fearless Leader, it has been delayed and is in a reduced form" | 22:29 |
| Pendulum | (or something of that effect that doesn't come out of the brain of someone with a fever ;-) ) | 22:29 |
| highvoltage | indeed! I think it's worth mentioning why it's late, and that it's just a temporary situation | 22:30 |
| Pendulum | yes | 22:30 |
| Pendulum | and then this week maybe we all work to get as much catch up and put 3 weeks into 1 UWN if we can? | 22:30 |
| highvoltage | I understand, I had a debilitating head-ache yesterday, feeling sick isn't easy :( | 22:30 |
| highvoltage | yep, sounds good | 22:30 |
| highvoltage | I was first going to suggest just finishing and releasing 215 | 22:31 |
| highvoltage | but stuff like old meetings that happened already needed to be cut | 22:31 |
| highvoltage | so it's probably best just making 215 for the last 3 weeks and including the most important stuff | 22:31 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: do you have permission to publish it? if not, I can take care of that if you want? | 22:32 |
| Pendulum | I do not have permission as far as I know | 22:32 |
| highvoltage | I don't have access everywhere myself, but I'm sure I can track down some friendly admins | 22:32 |
| Pendulum | pleia2: cjohnston nhandler can any of you help with this? | 22:34 |
| cjohnston | ? | 22:36 |
| cjohnston | I just happened to get on.. I'm sitting at JFK | 22:36 |
| Pendulum | cjohnston: this isn't an immediate, but do you know anything about publishing UWN? | 22:36 |
| cjohnston | Not much | 22:36 |
| cjohnston | What's the specific question. | 22:37 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: afaik the two biggest parts is putting it up on the site and sending it out via the mailing list | 22:37 |
| Pendulum | highvoltage: if we're going to try to cram 3 weeks into 215, maybe we should just make it 4 weeks and work on it all week rather than trying to get 3 weeks done in a day | 22:37 |
| cjohnston | highvoltage: I do agree.. and on fridge.. which is easy | 22:37 |
| Pendulum | what's the deal with the new html thing that we were trying? | 22:38 |
| cjohnston | No idea | 22:38 |
| cjohnston | I need to get back in.. Weekly is hard for me.. :-/ | 22:38 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: html news is still in discussion, we don't have to do any of that right now | 22:38 |
| Pendulum | ok | 22:39 |
| Pendulum | highvoltage: what do you think about my proposal as far as timing for 215? | 22:40 |
| Pendulum | it's mostly that I can't get 3 weeks of work done in the next 24 hours and I think unless we brought in an army it'd be pretty impossible | 22:40 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: I'm not that fond of putting it off too much. How about making issue 215 from October 17 to last week and publish that some time tomorrow/Tuesday. And then doing the rest of the backlog (also roughly 2 weeks) for later in the week? | 22:40 |
| Pendulum | okay, that could work | 22:41 |
| Pendulum | well 2 weeks from last week will get us up through the end of this week | 22:41 |
| Pendulum | so the 2nd one won't have to go out until next monday | 22:41 |
| Pendulum | I'm also going to suggest that we limit to maybe 2 articles per section, per week? | 22:42 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: *nod*, I understand. I have some time to dedicate to it as well, I'll get working on it so long, if you could add some parts and proofread (English is my 2nd language so I screw up with grammar now and again) then we should be able to release something reasonable tomorrow evening or tuesday morning | 22:42 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: I agree | 22:42 |
| Pendulum | I can definitely proofread | 22:42 |
| Pendulum | I don't know how much I can get done tonight, but I can get some stuff done tomorrow afternoon, for sure | 22:42 |
| highvoltage | we'll have to keep it to the important stories, our readers probably won't want to catch up on *too* much either | 22:42 |
| Pendulum | yeah | 22:42 |
| Pendulum | that's why I figured limiting number of things per week | 22:43 |
| Pendulum | for GCN I'll find one of jono's posts on Unity | 22:43 |
| Pendulum | and we can see what else looks important | 22:43 |
| highvoltage | awesome. I'll stay up a bit so feel free to poke me, I'll modify the dates on the UWN wiki page so long and make some changes that are required | 22:43 |
| highvoltage | ok | 22:43 |
| Pendulum | awesome | 22:43 |
| Pendulum | i'm going to go lie down for a little while because I'm feeling pretty dizzy, but i'll be back in an hourish | 22:44 |
| highvoltage | Pendulum: ok, hope you feel better soon! | 22:46 |
| highvoltage | anyone up for updating the meeting times to reflect the next week's meetings? | 22:50 |
| highvoltage | nhandler: are you around? | 23:23 |
| zkriesse | i don't think so... | 23:28 |
| zkriesse | i am though | 23:28 |
| highvoltage | zkriesse: could you give me access on the ubuntu-news site? | 23:41 |
| zkriesse | ah i don't think so... | 23:42 |
| zkriesse | i wish | 23:42 |
| highvoltage | zkriesse: the plan is to release 215 tomorrow(ish) for the period October 17-29th | 23:42 |
| zkriesse | ok | 23:43 |
| highvoltage | zkriesse: so if there's sections you can update, please do :) | 23:43 |
| zkriesse | i didn't know i can | 23:43 |
| highvoltage | zkriesse: have you contributed to UWN before? | 23:43 |
| zkriesse | ja | 23:44 |
| highvoltage | zkriesse: well, it's on the wiki, so you can :) | 23:47 |
| zkriesse | oh i thought you were taling about the ubuntu news site | 23:47 |
| highvoltage | aah | 23:53 |
