[09:16] good morning [19:58] hi alourie [20:05] johnc4510: are you around? [21:57] so are we dead while akgraner is away? :( [22:12] 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] 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] Pendulum: I was thinking that perhaps an impromptu release might be adequate in this situation? [22:21] as in, it probably doesn't have to be perfect. [22:22] right. I agree there. I'm just not sure what needs to happen in terms of how things get sent out, etc. [22:22] Pendulum: I can help you figure it out, if you want [22:22] and I still have enough ubuflu that I'm a little nervous about messing that up [22:23] Pendulum: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue215 is close to being finished, at least [22:24] would be nice and probably not that hard getting that out the door [22:24] do we still have an etherpad with links for that week? [22:24] becaues there's nothing in ITB [22:24] * highvoltage checks [22:24] ITB? [22:24] in the blogsphere [22:25] Pendulum: http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/UWN [22:25] *nods* [22:26] ah, except that that's pretty empty :/ [22:26] i'm just worried aboutr finding links that are that old to stick in there [22:26] Pendulum: imho even releasing it without an ITB section at this point will be better than not releasing [22:27] 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] I don't think there's any rules against adding stuff in later editions that we've missed before either [22:27] Pendulum: *nod* [22:27] Pendulum: if you want, I can find *something* to put in there. it won't necessarily be exciting :) [22:27] (but there's lots of stuff in my feed reader(s)) [22:28] 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] 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] (or something of that effect that doesn't come out of the brain of someone with a fever ;-) ) [22:30] indeed! I think it's worth mentioning why it's late, and that it's just a temporary situation [22:30] yes [22:30] 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] I understand, I had a debilitating head-ache yesterday, feeling sick isn't easy :( [22:30] yep, sounds good [22:31] I was first going to suggest just finishing and releasing 215 [22:31] but stuff like old meetings that happened already needed to be cut [22:31] so it's probably best just making 215 for the last 3 weeks and including the most important stuff [22:32] Pendulum: do you have permission to publish it? if not, I can take care of that if you want? [22:32] I do not have permission as far as I know [22:32] I don't have access everywhere myself, but I'm sure I can track down some friendly admins [22:34] pleia2: cjohnston nhandler can any of you help with this? [22:36] ? [22:36] I just happened to get on.. I'm sitting at JFK [22:36] cjohnston: this isn't an immediate, but do you know anything about publishing UWN? [22:36] Not much [22:37] What's the specific question. [22:37] Pendulum: afaik the two biggest parts is putting it up on the site and sending it out via the mailing list [22:37] 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] highvoltage: I do agree.. and on fridge.. which is easy [22:38] what's the deal with the new html thing that we were trying? [22:38] No idea [22:38] I need to get back in.. Weekly is hard for me.. :-/ [22:38] Pendulum: html news is still in discussion, we don't have to do any of that right now [22:39] ok [22:40] highvoltage: what do you think about my proposal as far as timing for 215? [22:40] 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] 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] okay, that could work [22:41] well 2 weeks from last week will get us up through the end of this week [22:41] so the 2nd one won't have to go out until next monday [22:42] I'm also going to suggest that we limit to maybe 2 articles per section, per week? [22:42] 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] Pendulum: I agree [22:42] I can definitely proofread [22:42] I don't know how much I can get done tonight, but I can get some stuff done tomorrow afternoon, for sure [22:42] 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] yeah [22:43] that's why I figured limiting number of things per week [22:43] for GCN I'll find one of jono's posts on Unity [22:43] and we can see what else looks important [22:43] 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] ok [22:43] awesome [22:44] 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] Pendulum: ok, hope you feel better soon! [22:50] anyone up for updating the meeting times to reflect the next week's meetings? [23:23] nhandler: are you around? [23:28] i don't think so... [23:28] i am though [23:41] zkriesse: could you give me access on the ubuntu-news site? [23:42] ah i don't think so... [23:42] i wish [23:42] zkriesse: the plan is to release 215 tomorrow(ish) for the period October 17-29th [23:43] ok [23:43] zkriesse: so if there's sections you can update, please do :) [23:43] i didn't know i can [23:43] zkriesse: have you contributed to UWN before? [23:44] ja [23:47] zkriesse: well, it's on the wiki, so you can :) [23:47] oh i thought you were taling about the ubuntu news site [23:53] aah
