[00:00] Hmm...Looks like we might have lost akgraner :( [00:00] yeah [00:00] well, we can probably get started anyway [00:01] Did you want to start pleia2? Or should I? [00:01] you can, I already chaired one meeting today :) [00:01] #startmeeting [00:01] Meeting started at 00:01. The chair is nhandler. [00:01] Commands Available: [TOPIC], [PROGRESS REPORT], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] [00:02] [TOPIC] Rotate all UWN Tasks [00:02] New Topic: Rotate all UWN Tasks [00:02] I've been meaning to get an email out about this, but that has gotten delayed a bit. [00:02] Basically, publishing UWN is a pretty large task. Even splitting up the various sections still requires a lot of work from people [00:03] so we're thinking of taking this and chopping it up a bit? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/EditingPolicies/HowToEdit [00:03] nope I'm here [00:03] I'm wondering how much of this we can further automate [00:03] pleia2: Basically. People would sign up to handle various parts of that list on a per-issue basis (instead of for all issues) [00:04] that would be awesome if people would :-) [00:04] it was kind of silly how long it takes to do: Updates and Security and Upcoming Meetings and Events [00:04] I think we can link to those [00:04] but that's just me [00:04] there are scripts for these, but humans still need to do stuff [00:04] nods so we link to the calendar [00:04] pleia2: Upcoming Meetings and Events is hard to automate due to recurring tasks (they make it rather hard to parse) [00:05] and link to the update archives [00:05] akgraner: yeah, maybe we just do that [00:05] I also think the team reports can just be a link to the wiki page [00:05] Out of curiosity, is anyone else watching besides me, pleia2, akgraner, and holstein ? [00:05] b/c they make it LONG [00:06] akgraner: *nod* [00:06] akgraner: I've shortened them down to only including the councils and mentioning the teams that had reports [00:06] and people who read it on a mobile device complain about it's length [00:06] and i gotta run like its my birthday... and it is :) [00:06] holstein, happy b-day [00:06] Happy Birthday holstein [00:06] happy birthday holstein :) [00:06] thanks [00:06] i'll look back over the meeting though [00:06] I know I was supposed to roll out a new template... [00:06] I am less concerned about length and more concerned about man power at this point (I like that it's long, but it's too tedious) [00:07] but that that got put on the back burner [00:07] +1 pleia2 [00:07] pleia2, that's always been the issue..:-/ [00:07] changing 19-21 into simple links makes things that much easier [00:07] I think if we get a signup page and email out, we could probably get a few new faces (I don't know if they'll stick around or not) [00:08] we have some same links on a page [00:08] I'll have to find that wiki... [00:08] we can just link to the wiki that has the various sample links for those [00:08] if you'd like [00:09] akgraner: I'm not sure if I'm sure what page you are talking about [00:09] do we want to continue to highlight the minutes of Weekly Ubuntu Development Team Meetings? [00:09] one sec I'll find it... [00:09] nah [00:09] we can pull that [00:09] Agreed [00:10] we can toss important stuff in General Community News [00:10] I had people ask why we didn't add more development stuff so I said I would try that approach [00:10] we tried it and clearly it wasn't as needed as some thought [00:10] but you don't know if you don't try [00:10] If people are really interested in a specific dev team, there are much better ways to stay up-to-date [00:11] * pleia2 nods [00:11] then just pull it.. [00:12] Well, I can finish up the email. If someone can get a wiki page put together (or modify an existing one) so that people can sign up to do a certain step for a particular issue of UWN, that would be helpful [00:13] don't we have one we just need to modify? [00:13] looks like Liraz is continuing to do the bug and brainstorm stats, so they can stay :) [00:13] akgraner: We might from when we were trying to set this up for rotating editors [00:13] I'll look [00:13] when does it need to be done by? [00:14] akgraner: Whenever you get a chance. [00:14] pleia2, yep I'll let him know we are going to just provide links to Updates and security archives [00:14] so there will be no need to run the script to pull all the updates anymore... [00:14] akgraner: that's different than the updates and security [00:14] right [00:14] [ACTION] nhandler to draft rotating-postions email [00:14] ACTION received: nhandler to draft rotating-postions email [00:14] I know [00:15] he does all of those [00:15] [ACTION] akgraner to take care of finding/editing signup wiki page [00:15] ACTION received: akgraner to take care of finding/editing signup wiki page [00:15] oh [00:15] :-) [00:15] well if he's doing them there is no need for us to get rid of those sections :) [00:15] if we have a volunteer who is willing, keep! [00:16] we does but he also overrides them each week [00:16] * nhandler nods [00:16] ok, let's keep all those sections then [00:16] these will turn into links: [00:16] Weekly Ubuntu Development Team Meetings [00:16] Monthly Team Reports: [00:16] Upcoming Meetings and Events [00:16] so someone will need to verify that they are all there from the last publication [00:16] b/c they will only be the last week [00:17] pleia2: I'm still not sure about the Team Reports. I'd like to play with a few ideas I have (I think we need to somehow recognize teams that do them) [00:17] nhandler: ok [00:17] nhandler, that's you're baby so however you want to do it [00:17] akgraner: We can sort that out when we finally get in a position to release a new UWN again [00:17] [TOPIC] Fridge Migration [00:17] New Topic: Fridge Migration [00:18] other than the feedburner what else is broken? [00:18] Do we have any information on when we will finally have fridge.ubuntu.com point directly to the server instead of just redirecting to ubuntu-news.org? [00:18] nope not yet...but I can follow up on that [00:18] Thanks [00:19] We were also wondering if you remembered the reasoning for using feedburner rather than the native WP rss feed [00:19] nope - I emailed Nick as I am sure there was a reason I just don't remember what it was.. [00:19] Thanks akgraner [00:20] but I'll see him this weekend so if he hasn't answered the email I'll ask him in person [00:20] (cornering in person)++ [00:20] :) [00:20] :-) [00:21] pleia2: I know we talked briefly about this a few weeks ago, but have you noticed any other problems with the interview script? [00:21] * nhandler isn't sure if we've had new interviews since then [00:21] I don't think we've had a new one [00:21] but other than the tagging, it seems fine [00:21] pleia2: I /think/ I got the tagging working (but I can't test to confirm) [00:22] * pleia2 nods [00:22] 7 [00:23] The rotating positions thing was my main topic, any other topics people want to discuss? [00:23] I think that's it [00:24] should we propose a next publish date for UWN? [00:24] pleia2: I think that would probably depend on when we get the call for help out (or when we find ourselves with a very free weekend) [00:24] nhandler, pleia2 thank you all so much! You all have taken on so much in the last four months [00:25] nhandler: *nod* ok, we'll talk about that once we have our ducks lined up :) [00:25] pleia2: My goal would be early April though [00:25] ok [00:25] I like the April Idea [00:25] Thanks for coming everyone, and I'll try to get the email out asap [00:25] I'll be moved by then [00:25] #endmeeting [00:25] Meeting finished at 00:25. [00:26] akgraner: I'd also like to do a News thing at UDS (I can put together a blueprint once we start writing such things) [00:27] drag some other community folks in to help and give input [00:27] +1 [00:27] pleia2, I can help with the BP if you want [00:27] great :) [00:27] Can we do that next week once I get back from PyCon? [00:27] sure [00:28] awesome...then Monday or Tuesday we can just knock it out [00:29] in the meantime I'll find those wiki pages and update then etc [00:29] * nhandler hugs akgraner [00:29] * pleia2 hugs all around [00:30] thanks akgraner and nhandler :) [00:30] :-) I <3 y'all! [00:45] nhandler: can you log in to ubuntu-news.org w/ LP? [00:45] I haven't been able to lately [00:45] Let me try [00:46] it sends me to LP, I say "yes, sign me in" and end up with "OpenID login failed: Server denied check_authentication" [00:47] so if SSO is broken I need to include that in my email [00:47] pleia2: I just had the same error. [00:47] ok, akgraner please include this :) [00:48] * nhandler goes to see if our plugin is outdated [00:48] will do :--) [00:49] Hmm...It says that we don't have libcurl support for PHP or the XRDS-Simple plugin [05:34] feedburner working again \o/ [12:50] pleia2: Great. Did we figure out why we are using feedburner yet?
