| andyrogers | hi, does anyone know if there has been any progress, talks etc within the Ubuntu News team about taking on additional volunteers? | 19:37 |
| andyrogers | I threw my hat in the ring earlier this week with an offer to help, but have not heard anything back so far? | 19:37 |
| andyrogers | i don't want to miss the opportunity to help out in the Ubuntu Community. | 19:37 |
| holstein | hey andyrogers | 19:37 |
| holstein | can you hang out in here for a bit? | 19:38 |
| holstein | this is the place :) | 19:38 |
| holstein | and im sure your contribution would be welcome | 19:38 |
| andyrogers | cheers | 19:38 |
| andyrogers | Ill hang around for a bit, is something meant to be happening? | 19:39 |
| holstein | not really | 19:39 |
| holstein | the folk you need to talk to are here though | 19:39 |
| andyrogers | ok thanks | 19:40 |
| andyrogers | holstein, what are your experiences with working in the Ubuntu News Team? (I presume you are a member/make contributions) | 19:44 |
| holstein | i was more active in the past | 19:45 |
| holstein | i got a little busy | 19:45 |
| holstein | which is good :) | 19:45 |
| holstein | work picked up, and i needed it | 19:45 |
| holstein | i was reading articles | 19:45 |
| holstein | and writing summaries | 19:45 |
| holstein | thats probably what you could do that would be helpful | 19:45 |
| holstein | and easy to get started with | 19:46 |
| andyrogers | yeah, im looking at something along that line to get me into the swing of things. | 19:46 |
| holstein | andyrogers: looks like there is a meeting thursday | 19:46 |
| holstein | andyrogers: it used to be sundays that folk would be in here | 19:46 |
| holstein | getting summaries and doing work | 19:46 |
| holstein | might be mondays now | 19:47 |
| holstein | i think you'll want to talk to highvoltage and/or akgraner` | 19:47 |
| andyrogers | who is highvoltage? what is their role? | 19:47 |
| holstein | im not sure, ive been out too long :/ | 19:49 |
| holstein | if you dont catch someone today | 19:49 |
| holstein | try and make the meeting | 19:49 |
| andyrogers | so is monday like the deadline day then? | 19:49 |
| andyrogers | what time is the meeting? | 19:49 |
| andyrogers | i presume in here? | 19:50 |
| holstein | Meeting: Thursday, December 2, 2010 @ 2300UTC | 19:50 |
| holstein | yup | 19:50 |
| holstein | in here :) | 19:50 |
| holstein | andyrogers: not sure about the deadline | 19:50 |
| holstein | i think that can be flexible | 19:50 |
| holstein | depending on schedules | 19:50 |
| holstein | check out http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/UWN | 19:51 |
| andyrogers | i should hopefully be up still at that time. | 19:52 |
| holstein | seems a bit out of date | 19:52 |
| holstein | but that is the idea | 19:52 |
| holstein | the links get filled in there | 19:52 |
| holstein | to the articles | 19:52 |
| holstein | and you would go and read an article | 19:52 |
| holstein | ad summarize it | 19:52 |
| holstein | and* | 19:52 |
| holstein | andyrogers: where are you? | 19:53 |
| holstein | EST ? | 19:53 |
| andyrogers | im still here, GMT | 19:53 |
| andyrogers | UK | 19:53 |
| holstein | AH | 19:53 |
| holstein | yeah, thats late for you then ;) | 19:53 |
| andyrogers | i can be upto 01:00 -02:00 UTC sometimes | 19:53 |
| holstein | andyrogers: are you in the #ubuntu-uk channel? | 19:53 |
| andyrogers | i can be, but not logged into their yet before. | 19:54 |
| andyrogers | im newish to using the IRC channels, so not sure of all the room names yet | 19:54 |
| holstein | Daviey is a UK'r :) | 19:54 |
| andyrogers | ah cheers | 19:55 |
| andyrogers | so basically with that link, will that be the actual atricle that would eventually get published? | 19:55 |
| holstein | nah | 19:55 |
| holstein | that would be where you would grab the link to the article | 19:55 |
| holstein | and put your summary in | 19:55 |
| andyrogers | who puts the links on their in the first place | 19:55 |
| holstein | and then there are proof reading ad editing and publishing steps | 19:56 |
| holstein | andyrogers: you could probably help with that to | 19:56 |
| holstein | finding the links | 19:56 |
| holstein | i didnt do that though | 19:56 |
| andyrogers | is that where akgraner does the editing? | 19:56 |
| holstein | so i dont know about that process | 19:56 |
| andyrogers | i mean proof reading etc | 19:56 |
| holstein | andyrogers: theres a wiki page | 19:57 |
| holstein | i think akgraner` or highvoltage or someone would grab the stuff from there | 19:57 |
| holstein | and work in the WIKI | 19:57 |
| andyrogers | so basically with this link, someone (or I can put a link on their) and then the UWN team read and summarise it. | 19:59 |
| andyrogers | before it gets read & edited before being published as weekly UWN letter | 19:59 |
| holstein | in theory | 20:00 |
| holstein | i would make sure about the adding links part | 20:00 |
| holstein | maybe a higher-up adds those | 20:00 |
| holstein | i dont think just anyone can willy-nilly add links | 20:00 |
| holstein | OR should | 20:00 |
| andyrogers | don't worry I won't be doing anything before getting the approval of joining the team first | 20:01 |
| holstein | i remember seeing some trusted sources talk recently | 20:01 |
| holstein | maybe last meeting? | 20:01 |
| andyrogers | talk about what? | 20:01 |
| holstein | what blogs to get news from | 20:01 |
| holstein | blogs or sites | 20:02 |
| andyrogers | ah that's good then | 20:07 |
| holstein | andyrogers: are you a member of https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-uk ? | 20:08 |
| andyrogers | ill double check, not sure if i did join the group | 20:09 |
| holstein | pretty sure thats a very active community | 20:09 |
| holstein | the podcast is great :) | 20:09 |
| holstein | http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/ | 20:10 |
| andyrogers | how much of a summary do u usually have to write? a couple/few of line's giving a general summary of the stork | 20:11 |
| holstein | yeah | 20:11 |
| holstein | 3 or 4 sentences maybe | 20:11 |
