| nhandler | Yep akgraner | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| akgraner | nhandler, that reminds me is your how to contribute to the fridge guide ready to go to the wiki? | 00:00 |
| nhandler | akgraner: I have it on the wiki (link on the agenda). Can we bring up that agenda item? | 00:01 |
| akgraner | I wanted to include a link to the information in the meeting minutes - I am going to send out later tonight | 00:01 |
| akgraner | yep one sec and we will be there :-) | 00:01 |
| nhandler | :) | 00:01 |
| akgraner | [TOPIC] Revising Ubuntu News Team Wiki Pages | 00:01 |
| Mootbot-UK | New Topic: Revising Ubuntu News Team Wiki Pages | 00:01 |
| akgraner | so as some of you maybe painfully aware there is a new wiki theme - and as such some of the pages really need a facelift | 00:02 |
| akgraner | also some of the pages haven't been touched since 2008 | 00:02 |
| akgraner | many of the pages need to be consolidated or moved under a different page etc | 00:02 |
| akgraner | while none of the tasks are terrible hard - they are time consuming | 00:03 |
| akgraner | so I was thinking we need 1) a list of pages that need fixing so people can grab a task and just do it and 2) prior to that list being made come up with some sort of guidelines for how we want the team represented on the wikis | 00:04 |
| akgraner | thoughts? | 00:04 |
| cjohnston | I must go.. if something comes up that my input is needed (haha) call me | 00:04 |
| akgraner | cjohnston, thank you! and will do! | 00:05 |
| pleia2 | akgraner: presumably these are all the pages under and linked to /NewsTeam ? | 00:05 |
| nhandler | One thing that I noticed the other day is that a lot of stuff is clumped under the UWN namespace. I think we definitely need to try and use the NewsTeam namespace as much as possible | 00:05 |
| nhandler | pleia2: We have UWN and Fridge namespaces as well | 00:05 |
| * pleia2 nods | 00:06 | |
| akgraner | I agree | 00:06 |
| akgraner | I was just getting information on a page when I was updating stuff | 00:06 |
| akgraner | and figure it was easier for someone to change a namespace than create the wiki from scratch | 00:07 |
| nhandler | +1 akgraner | 00:07 |
| akgraner | nhandler, do you have time to work on News Team Wiki generic organization guide? | 00:07 |
| akgraner | so people who like working on wikis can see the suggested guide and know where they need to move stuff etc | 00:08 |
| nhandler | akgraner: I could create a basic guide | 00:08 |
| akgraner | or if someone is adding a page they sorta have a better idea of where something needs to go? Or maybe I am just making it to complicated and we just need a todo list? | 00:09 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Most of it should be self-explanatory, but cleaning up the namespaces (maybe moving Fridge and UWN below NewsTeam might help) | 00:09 |
| akgraner | nhandler, so let's go with an action item for you to cleanup namespaces and then go from there | 00:10 |
| akgraner | (I'll help where I can as well) | 00:10 |
| nhandler | Sounds good (and thanks) | 00:10 |
| akgraner | nhandler, thanks - hope that wasn't a terrible volun-told thing - sorry if it sounded that way | 00:11 |

| akgraner | [TOPIC] - How To Contribute to The Fridge Guide | 00:12 |
| Mootbot-UK | New Topic: - How To Contribute to The Fridge Guide | 00:12 |
| akgraner | nhandler, the floor is yours | 00:12 |
| akgraner | :-) | 00:12 |
| nhandler | I copied the draft I had made over to the wiki yesterday: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge/Submit | 00:13 |
| nhandler | [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge/Submit | 00:13 |
| Mootbot-UK | LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge/Submit | 00:13 |
| nhandler | We had talked about converting it to be more bullet list like (instead of paragraphs), but I haven't had the time | 00:13 |
| nhandler | It could also use more people looking it over and making corrections/suggestions where necessary | 00:13 |
| akgraner | nhandler, thank you so much for drafting this up. | 00:14 |
| nhandler | So the agenda item was mainly just to toss the link out and ask people to look it over and provide feedback and help make changes | 00:14 |
| nhandler | akgraner: No problem. Thank you and pleia2 for looking it over earlier | 00:14 |
| nhandler | Any comments/questions? | 00:15 |
| akgraner | [ACTION] - News Team needs to review https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge/Submit and give feedback | 00:15 |
| Mootbot-UK | ACTION received: - News Team needs to review https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge/Submit and give feedback | 00:15 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Once it is reviewd, it might be helpful to link to it from the actual fridge | 00:16 |
| akgraner | +1 | 00:16 |
| * nhandler has nothing else for this topic tonight | 00:17 | |
| akgraner | nhandler, can you email any questions, comments thoughts etc that I need to add to the list for IS about the test site? | 00:17 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Yeah. When are you sending that? | 00:17 |
| akgraner | Shooting for Monday | 00:18 |
| akgraner | is that doable for you? | 00:18 |
| akgraner | I can delay if I need too? | 00:18 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Should be. Just give me a poke over the weekend if I don't have it to you by then | 00:18 |
| akgraner | k thanks! | 00:18 |
| nhandler | If nobody else is around now, or if you want, we can bring some of my other agenda items to the ML | 00:18 |
| pleia2 | I'm still here, but ML is fine too | 00:19 |
| akgraner | [TOPIC] - Request for feedback on Interview Script on ubuntu-news.org/future fridge | 00:19 |
| Mootbot-UK | New Topic: - Request for feedback on Interview Script on ubuntu-news.org/future fridge | 00:19 |
| akgraner | nhandler, pleia2 yep was going to post these to ML as well :-) | 00:19 |
| internalkernel | im here too | 00:19 |
| akgraner | oh sorry internalkernel wasn't trying to leave ya out | 00:20 |
| internalkernel | lol... no worries | 00:20 |
| nhandler | The interview script parses https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Interviews for the most recent interview. If it is from a white-listed site, it is posted as a blog post to the fridge and added to http://ubuntu-news.org/interview/ | 00:20 |
| nhandler | One issue I still can't think of a good solution for is dealing with stuff like FCM (that uses a pdf) | 00:20 |
| akgraner | nhandler, so you are needing the team to review this as well right? | 00:20 |
| nhandler | I'd also appreciate some feedback on whether the team thinks this script is useful and if anything should be changed | 00:21 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Yep | 00:21 |
| nhandler | And making them aware of its existance | 00:21 |

| * sladen arrives, sorry for being late | 00:22 | |
| akgraner | hi sladen no worries - thanks for joining! | 00:22 |
| akgraner | so there are two more topics do you all want to discuss them now or just add them to the minutes from the meeting as ask for feedback there? | 00:23 |
| akgraner | I can stick around for about 10 more minutes then I have to run | 00:23 |
| nhandler | akgraner: It might be best to have them as separate threads on the ML to keep things organized | 00:23 |
| internalkernel | either way for me | 00:23 |
| akgraner | nhandler, yep - I'll list the minutes then note for discussion there are separate discussion threads | 00:24 |
| nhandler | Thanks akgraner. | 00:24 |
| akgraner | well it is late and we've gone about 30 minutes longer than normal - so here is the big question before we end the meeting | 00:25 |
| akgraner | who would like to be the 1st rotating publishing editor to publish UWN on Monday | 00:25 |
| akgraner | (I can help train on Sunday and get it all ready for Monday, but I am traveling for work on Monday) | 00:26 |
| akgraner | ok - I'll ask in the meeting minutes/notes as well :-) | 00:27 |
| akgraner | anything else from anyone before we adjourn the meeting? | 00:27 |
| nhandler | akgraner: I can "publish" monday, but I would not be able to do the actual writing of the sections the editor normaly does for UWN | 00:27 |
| internalkernel | I'll help do the sections - is there anythign up for Monday yet? | 00:28 |
| internalkernel | I'll be available on Sunday for working with you akgraner | 00:28 |
| akgraner | nhandler, awesome! internalkernel nope but I'll get it all set up for everyone | 00:28 |
| internalkernel | if your gong to be at the wnclug on sat, we can go over some stuff there... | 00:29 |
| akgraner | internalkernel, I'll see what I can do.. | 00:29 |
| akgraner | Do we need to meet again this month or Just wait til January? | 00:29 |
| akgraner | (promise my last question) | 00:30 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Wait until January (we have the holidays). But we might want to try and use the ML a bit more to keep everyone on the same page | 00:30 |
| * nhandler is at fault there a bit | 00:30 | |
| akgraner | nhandler, agree - I am guilty as well. | 00:30 |
| akgraner | [TOPIC] Next meeting January 6th, 2011 | 00:31 |
| Mootbot-UK | New Topic: Next meeting January 6th, 2011 | 00:31 |
| akgraner | who wants to chair the meeting? | 00:31 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Might be best to sort that out a bit closer to the meeting (things have a habit of coming up last minute for people here) | 00:32 |
| akgraner | not a problem just wanted everyone to start thinking about it :-) | 00:32 |
| nhandler | :) | 00:32 |
| akgraner | ok thanks everyone! Great Meeting! | 00:32 |

| nUboon2Age | Ubuntu Manual Officially Recognized By Canonical [Updated]; (& Ubuntu Dev Manual too) http://www.muktware.com/n/02/2010/547 akgraner | 11:27 |
| cjohnston | nUboon2Age: thats not completely correct | 11:30 |
| nUboon2Age | cjohnston: the article? | 11:30 |
| nUboon2Age | well the url is there if you want to update the update. :-) cjohnston | 11:31 |
| cjohnston | This is Dinda's post: http://dindafoss.wordpress.com/2010/12/02/ubuntu-developer-manual-project/ | 11:33 |
| cjohnston | Was something talked about quite a bit at UDS | 11:33 |
| nUboon2Age | cjohnston: well the url i gave is the one that popped up in a google news search, so that's the one most people will see, but thank you for the better url | 11:35 |
| cjohnston | there have been a ton of posts about it.. one of the things I love.. just like the rolling release thing.. people were still posting that ubuntu is going to a rolling release even after sabdfl posted that it isnt | 11:36 |
| cjohnston | nUboon2Age: she makes it clear in the (current) top comment that it isnt the same | 11:37 |
| nUboon2Age | yeah, that's the nature of 'news' :-) cjohnston | 11:38 |
| cjohnston | no sense in us using invalid info tho | 11:40 |
| nhandler | They updated the article based on popey's comment | 12:35 |
| akgraner | FYI - working on the email to the list from last nights meeting - I updated the UWN Archives page to reflect which issues weren't published and I'll have the new template up shortly reflecting the issue we should been on. - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Archive | 12:51 |
| akgraner | whew - information from last night's meeting sent to mailing list - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-news-team/2010-December/001216.html | 14:13 |
| akgraner | logs from meeting can be found at - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Meetings/20100506/Log | 14:14 |
| akgraner | template and stuff will be a little while yet... (sorry) | 14:15 |
| Mirv | hi. first of all maybe in slight bigger letters on fridge.ubuntu.com that "please go to ubuntu-news.org", since the forwarding apparently takes some time | 14:24 |
| Mirv | secondly, since the news wasn't actually on hold, did my interview got lost or were my answers too poor? :P (mainly pointed at akgraner which I also pinged some time ago) | 14:25 |
| Mirv | not that it matters that much to me but I did spend some time with writing the answers, of course | 14:26 |
| akgraner | Mirv - I thought it was posted - one sec let me check something | 14:31 |
| akgraner | Mirv, sorry about that - Joeb454 added it dpm, reviewed it but, no-one (to include me) clicked Publish. Thank you so much for letting us know. I am so sorry about that | 14:36 |
| Mirv | ok, good that it got resolved :P | 15:20 |
