=== zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse [17:00] highvoltage, will you have time for a call today? === SuperHark is now known as MichealH [19:08] 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... [19:09] 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 [19:11] Also I am concerned that maybe I have been to harsh, formal, ridged, in my expectations - sorry about that [19:12] 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] 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] being able to point newcomers to a doc and say "ok, you do this" is superhelpful [19:13] pleia2, jono and I talked about suspending publication til December [19:13] re-org'ing the docs/wiki's [19:13] not a bad idea [19:13] to make it easier for newcomers [19:14] 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] (sorry about that - I was just trying to make sure no step was over looked or not explained) [19:16] 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) [19:17] does all that make sense to you all? [19:17] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_number <-- we need to increase our bus number. :) [19:18] Jono and I also talked about making it Ubuntu Newsletter and making it a bi-weekly publication [19:18] I told him I would blog about it and email the team and go from there [19:19] I just want everything open and transparent as possible [19:19] all sounds good [19:19] and newcomers know that this is an easy place to start should they choose to [19:23] 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] Thanks y'all....:-D [19:24] 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 [19:33] 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 [19:34] with author status he can only manage his posts [19:35] and it would eliminate an extra step of him posting to his blog the pleia2 reposting to the fridge [19:35] 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] add him, but have one of us review them before posting [19:35] for the first few posts, at least [19:37] ok I'll have him ping an editor to review them :-) [19:37] thanks [21:16] 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] he was just trying to avoid posting twice since he is now doing to other interview series [21:17] two even [21:17] 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 :-) [21:18] 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 [21:19] 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] since we are trying to make it easier for people to contribute :-) [21:20] 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] but if is goal has always just been to get them to planet, cool [21:21] yep he asked me if that was ok...which is why I posted the question earlier [22:17] 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] And if he is interested, I have no problem mentoring him (I've worked with him before) [22:30] it's not a big deal either way :-) [22:30] Yep [22:31] he's cool with posting in both places as well as poping in the channel and pinging an editor to review his posts
