| akgraner | highvoltage, nhandler pleia2 nigelb Pendulum (as well as everyone else) - Just talked to Jono about UWN - and some of the issues, not enough volunteers, etc - He is going to help promote UWN and help make the process easier etc... | 19:08 |
| akgraner | we went through the wiki pages and I'll be blogging later as well as email to the mailing list and some personal emails to folks | 19:09 |
| akgraner | Also I am concerned that maybe I have been to harsh, formal, ridged, in my expectations - sorry about that | 19:11 |
| pleia2 | thanks akgraner, I do worry that we'll get an influx of new volunteers that we'll find difficult to herd them, but hopefully the improvements to the docs and process will make this less of a problem :) | 19:12 |
| akgraner | I hope I never made anyone feel guilty or worried over no being able to help from one week to the next etc... | 19:12 |
| pleia2 | being able to point newcomers to a doc and say "ok, you do this" is superhelpful | 19:12 |
| akgraner | pleia2, jono and I talked about suspending publication til December | 19:13 |
| akgraner | re-org'ing the docs/wiki's | 19:13 |
| pleia2 | not a bad idea | 19:13 |
| akgraner | to make it easier for newcomers | 19:13 |
| akgraner | he also chuckled at my check list - I think it was hide that wiki from all but the publishing editors - even if it is all the steps that looks daunting | 19:14 |
| akgraner | (sorry about that - I was just trying to make sure no step was over looked or not explained) | 19:14 |
| akgraner | also rotating publishing editors - so no one person is always the one publishing it - but having someone just over see the process incase of a bus (or fire :-D) | 19:16 |
| akgraner | does all that make sense to you all? | 19:17 |
| cody-somerville | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_number <-- we need to increase our bus number. :) | 19:17 |
| akgraner | Jono and I also talked about making it Ubuntu Newsletter and making it a bi-weekly publication | 19:18 |
| akgraner | I told him I would blog about it and email the team and go from there | 19:18 |
| akgraner | I just want everything open and transparent as possible | 19:19 |
| pleia2 | all sounds good | 19:19 |
| akgraner | and newcomers know that this is an easy place to start should they choose to | 19:19 |
| akgraner | I need to get back to paid work for a while - but let me know if there is any input to these suggestions as I'll blog and email everyone after work | 19:23 |
| akgraner | Thanks y'all....:-D | 19:23 |
| akgraner | p.s - I'll try and remember to add all the suggestions from the blog post to the meeting agenda for December - someone poke me if I forget | 19:24 |
| akgraner | pleia2, nhandler et all - any reason you all can think of that Joeb454 can't just post and publish his community interviews straight to the Fridge/ubuntu-news.org | 19:33 |
| akgraner | with author status he can only manage his posts | 19:34 |
| akgraner | and it would eliminate an extra step of him posting to his blog the pleia2 reposting to the fridge | 19:35 |
| pleia2 | we would essentially be adding him as a fridge editor, I think he should go through the process the rest of us do | 19:35 |
| pleia2 | add him, but have one of us review them before posting | 19:35 |
| pleia2 | for the first few posts, at least | 19:35 |
| akgraner | ok I'll have him ping an editor to review them :-) | 19:37 |
| akgraner | thanks | 19:37 |
| nhandler | akgraner: I also don't think it is a bad thing having them posted elsewhere first (that is how most stories are done). That way, people can choose to follow those interviews without having to subscribe to the planet/fridge | 21:16 |
| akgraner | he was just trying to avoid posting twice since he is now doing to other interview series | 21:16 |
| akgraner | two even | 21:17 |
| akgraner | he just wanted to make sure they made it to the planet - this would also keep an editor from have to copy it all over - that's all :-) | 21:17 |
| nhandler | Well, I have no objections to him getting access (after some training), but I would still be in favor of posting them on both blogs | 21:18 |
| akgraner | as the goal of the new site was to allow for content posted to Fridge by trusted sources - I was thinking it would be a great test case for the contributor and author users | 21:19 |
| akgraner | since we are trying to make it easier for people to contribute :-) | 21:19 |
| pleia2 | I'd say it's ultimately up to Joe, we don't want to steal his interview series if he wants them on his blog | 21:20 |
| pleia2 | but if is goal has always just been to get them to planet, cool | 21:20 |
| akgraner | yep he asked me if that was ok...which is why I posted the question earlier | 21:21 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Well, even if we are a portal with a dedicated box that pulls the latest interview (do you think that might be useful?), I would still like the original version to be on his blog (but that is just my opinion). Like I said, I have no issue with him getting access after training to do the reposting himself if he wants | 22:17 |
| nhandler | And if he is interested, I have no problem mentoring him (I've worked with him before) | 22:17 |
| akgraner | it's not a big deal either way :-) | 22:30 |
| nhandler | Yep | 22:30 |
| akgraner | he's cool with posting in both places as well as poping in the channel and pinging an editor to review his posts | 22:31 |
