| akgraner | Hey all - just wanted you all to know before the open letter to the list goes out - I am going to be stepping down as Editor in Chief for UWN and calling for nominations and more volunteers | 12:17 |
| akgraner | Due to personal circumstances beyond my control I just don't have the 15 hours per week (sometimes needed all in one day) right now - and don't foresee having that time until after Spring | 12:18 |
| akgraner | :-( | 12:19 |
| akgraner | I'll help anyone get up to speed and go over the processes personally with anyone - I am also going to email former editors to see if they will help in the interim | 12:20 |
| akgraner | You all are great - and deserve someone who can give the necessary time and attention to UWN as a whole - so stepping down is the only responsible thing to do - Thanks again! :-) | 12:21 |
| akgraner | stepping down email sent to the list - Pendulum nigelb highvoltage alourie johnc4510 nhandler | 13:15 |
| akgraner | feel free to email or ping me if there are questions - I am adding call for nominations to the meeting agenda as well as training needs | 13:16 |
| akgraner | We don't have a very open or transparent way to select a new Editor in Chief - in the past the Editor has picked their successor - I'd like to open it up for nominations and the Active UWN team members decide - if you all aren't open to that please make suggestions :-) | 13:22 |
| alourie | akgraner: oh, I'm sorry for that | 13:27 |
| alourie | are you still going to be an editor? That is - writing for it...? | 13:27 |
| akgraner | alourie, I'll still help where I can | 13:27 |
| akgraner | and I'll do whatever I can to help with the transition and shadow the new Editor in Chief until they are comfortable | 13:28 |
| akgraner | I won't leave anyone hanging | 13:28 |
| akgraner | and just disappear :-) | 13:29 |
| alourie | great | 13:29 |
| MTecknology | akgraner: hugs | 13:29 |
| alourie | thank you | 13:29 |
| akgraner | I want you all to have the opportunity to try out these positions and succeed in them | 13:29 |
| akgraner | MTecknology, thanks | 13:29 |
| akgraner | we've done some great things in the last year - making UWN processes more transparent, moving to publishing on Mondays so people don't give up their weekends, recruiting more new people, though more is needed... etc | 13:31 |
| akgraner | you all are great! | 13:31 |
| akgraner | I'll stick with getting the fridge migration to completion sense that is almost complete | 13:31 |
| akgraner | I'll finish fighting that battle :-) | 13:31 |
| MTecknology | akgraner: You've been holding that role for a year already? | 13:31 |
| MTecknology | It feels like yesterday | 13:32 |
| akgraner | nods | 13:32 |
| akgraner | well I've been working on UWN for a year don't think Editor in Chief is a year | 13:32 |
| akgraner | and I personally think the position should rotate each cycle - it will burn you out in a hurry if you are doing a lot of other stuff in the community and trying to have a balanced life | 13:33 |
| akgraner | I have been working hard to re-org UWN in a way that would not burn people out - not sure if it's working or not :-/ | 13:34 |
| akgraner | but I have tried | 13:34 |
| akgraner | I hate I can't do it all right now - but I am sure everyone will be awesome the UWN will improve even more | 13:36 |
| MTecknology | I gave up on a balanced life | 13:37 |
| akgraner | I'll get the survey results to everyone tomorrow | 13:37 |
| MTecknology | if I have down time I wind up doing things like this.... I've been up for almost 24hr and have nearly nothing to show for it.. | 13:39 |
| akgraner | MTecknology, yep I know the feeling - but working on the "burnout to balance" stuff - I was taking a hard look at things before the lightning/fire - that just reinforced what needs to come first for me | 13:43 |
| akgraner | I don't suggest lightning thought though :-D | 13:44 |
| akgraner | MTecknology, go get some sleep before you fall over | 13:48 |
| MTecknology | I'm trying to force myself through until tonight (~14hr) - I want to make myself get back on a normal schedule | 13:51 |
| akgraner | :-) gotcha | 13:51 |
| akgraner | remember "normal is just a setting on the dryer" :-D | 13:51 |
| MTecknology | By normal, I mean not taking an hour long nap while it's dark out and kissing my fiancee when it's light out (same walk) before she heads off for student teaching | 13:53 |
| MTecknology | or.. withing 8hr of the same sleep schedule | 13:53 |
| akgraner | yep - I knew what you meant - I was teasing you :-P | 13:54 |
| MTecknology | it was fun to explain though :) | 13:54 |
| akgraner | :-) | 13:55 |
| akgraner | time for work - thanks everyone - I'll blog later today about all this :-) | 13:56 |
| MTecknology | ttyl | 13:56 |
| MTecknology | I miss work | 13:57 |
| highvoltage | akgraner: just read your email, will you still be able to be editor for this week's issue? | 14:06 |
| highvoltage | (sorry if you already explained that, wnet to bed late last night so still a bit groggy :p) | 14:07 |
| akgraner | I've pulled items and written summaries - just need to add them to the wiki | 14:15 |
| pleia2 | thanks for your work akgraner :) | 17:28 |
