[09:16] <alourie> good morning
[19:58] <highvoltage> hi alourie
[20:05] <Pendulum> johnc4510: are you around?
[21:57] <highvoltage> so are we dead while akgraner is away? :(
[22:12] <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.
[22:13] <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 :(
[22:21] <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.
[22:22] <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
[22:23] <highvoltage> Pendulum: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue215 is close to being finished, at least
[22:24] <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
[22:25] <highvoltage> Pendulum: http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/UWN
[22:25] <Pendulum> *nods*
[22:26] <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
[22:27] <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))
[22:28] <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)
[22:29] <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 ;-) )
[22:30] <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
[22:31] <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
[22:32] <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
[22:34] <Pendulum> pleia2: cjohnston nhandler can any of you help with this?
[22:36] <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
[22:37] <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
[22:38] <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
[22:39] <Pendulum> ok
[22:40] <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?
[22:41] <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
[22:42] <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
[22:43] <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
[22:44] <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
[22:46] <highvoltage> Pendulum: ok, hope you feel better soon!
[22:50] <highvoltage> anyone up for updating the meeting times to reflect the next week's meetings?
[23:23] <highvoltage> nhandler: are you around?
[23:28] <zkriesse> i don't think so...
[23:28] <zkriesse> i am though
[23:41] <highvoltage> zkriesse: could you give me access on the ubuntu-news site?
[23:42] <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
[23:43] <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?
[23:44] <zkriesse> ja
[23:47] <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
[23:53] <highvoltage> aah
