[00:00] <pleia2> akgraner: I sent an email a couple weeks ago (May 22nd), re: Created SuggestedHowToEdit, can you take a look and give some feedback?
[00:00] <pleia2> also, since we're postponing the meeting (which was supposed to be now?) are we still going for this weekend as relaunch?
[04:28] <NRWlion> morning!
[04:30] <NRWlion> nobody awake ?
[05:11] <nhandler> akgraner, pleia2: Sorry for not being able to attend the meeting. I had graduation
[05:12] <nhandler> akgraner: Are you still planning on sending out that second email or blog post about the leadership team?
[05:15] <pleia2> nhandler: congrats :)
[05:15] <pleia2> I think the meeting was canceled anyway
[05:16] <nhandler> Thanks pleia2

[05:19]  * nhandler hugs pleia2 
[05:20]  * pleia2 hugs :)
[14:37] <akgraner> nhandler, I'll use most of the information you added to the wiki and see what else from this week can be added to GCN and write an intro/explanation about the re-launch and move it over to the new template
[14:38] <akgraner> and see what still needs to be done before tomorrow and we alert the translation teams
[14:38] <akgraner> nhandler, thanks for all your awesome work btw...

[16:25] <NRWlion> akgraner: understood your point ;)
[16:32] <NRWlion> akgraner: just a short question regarding the meeting you mentioned yesterday: is there one or is it canceled?
[16:32] <akgraner> NRWlion, at some point today - I'll see who is around and we will have an informal meeting
[16:32] <akgraner> that's about all I can do for ow
[16:32] <akgraner> now
[16:33] <NRWlion> akgraner: dont feel pushed from me ;)
[16:33] <NRWlion> i was just asking because i planned to go out tonight and visiting a concert
[16:34] <akgraner> NRWlion, do your thing there will be a log of anything discussed
[16:34] <akgraner> and I'll send it out
[16:34] <NRWlion> akgraner: willco
[16:40] <zkriesse_> Well hello Mrs. Graner!
[16:40] <NRWlion> cu folks. paperwork's waiting ...
[16:40] <zkriesse_> And how are you?
[18:02] <NRWlion> leaving now wishing you all a great evening
[18:02] <NRWlion> !
[18:52] <akgraner> email that I sent to the list has now been added to my blog and posted to the planet
[18:53] <akgraner> I'll outline the leadership team roles and team organization suggestion next per nhandler's request
[18:53] <pleia2> akgraner: and my email from a couple weeks ago?
[18:54] <akgraner> pleia2, ummmm.....
[18:54] <akgraner> I may have  missed that
[18:54] <pleia2> 16:00:13 < pleia2> akgraner: I sent an email a couple weeks ago (May 22nd), re: Created SuggestedHowToEdit, can you take a look and give some feedback?
[18:54] <akgraner> oh that
[18:55] <akgraner> sorry - I remember that now...I liked it - will give you feedback asap
[18:55] <pleia2> thanks :)
[18:55] <akgraner> that wasn't the org I was going to describe in this next post though
[18:55] <pleia2> ok
[18:56] <pleia2> well this is pretty important, and I spent a lot of time on it, so I'd rather not see it be ignored
[19:02] <akgraner> pleia2, not ignoring it  - promise..just had an emergency come up
[19:03] <pleia2> sure, I mean moving forward, we should review it soon
[19:03] <akgraner> nods...will do that before the weekend is over (promise :-D)
[19:14] <akgraner> so I was thinking nhandler and pleia2 for the fridge....
[19:15] <akgraner> holstein, NRWlion, nigelb, and highvoltage to handle UWN
[19:16] <akgraner> until the team can vote on a team
[19:23] <akgraner> I've reached out to jcastro and jono in a pm to ask that I temp assign ownership of the related news teams to the community team until the re'org and leadership team is decided upon
[19:24] <akgraner> I'll give my ideas and suggestions, turn over ownership, then back away and let you all work your magic as a team
[19:25] <nhandler> akgraner: It might be easier (at least if you are still going to be online) if you keep ownership until the leadership team
[19:26] <nhandler> akgraner: I also have no issue helping out with getting UWN out the door (especially if we are no longer aiming for weekly releases) now that school is done
[19:26] <akgraner> nhandler, not sure I will be on IRC much
[19:26] <akgraner> we want to aim for weekly again
[19:28]  * nhandler thinks wehavegone full circle now
[19:28] <nhandler> * we have gone
[19:38] <akgraner> nods
[19:38] <akgraner> I just want to make sure UWN is not tied to a person but a whole team
[19:38] <akgraner> and that's more open etc
[19:39] <akgraner> so I'll finish blogging today about the vision I had and see who all can run with things
[19:39] <akgraner> and I think jono and his team will be willing to help as well
[19:40] <NRWlion> hey there
[19:48] <holstein> holstein: o/
[19:49] <akgraner> I'm working on the email and blog now ...
[19:49] <akgraner> and I'll have a call with jono shortly
[19:50]  * NRWlion will be in the background working on his other machine
[19:50] <NRWlion> but if needed, just ping me after i return
[19:52] <akgraner> will do
[19:53] <NRWlion> for now i am taking some "me" time and get dressed for the evening @ home
[19:54] <NRWlion> cu laters!
[20:03] <akgraner> spoke to highvoltage hopefully he'll be helping again soon as well :-)
[20:05] <akgraner> and for the record as I told him - I was completely wrong in how I handled many parts of the UWN session at UDS and  how I responded to highvoltage for that I apologize to everyone for my actions hurt, discouraged, or frustrated....
[20:06] <akgraner> for my actions that hurt....
[20:06] <akgraner> now on to get all this worked out :-)
[20:16] <NRWlion> lets see: coke, ice-cream, my machine... yep, i am ready ;)
[20:32] <NRWlion> afk
[20:52] <NRWlion> hi
[22:03] <akgraner> so jake edge from LWN sent me a great email with some wonderful suggestions I'll pass along to the team as well
[22:08] <NRWlion> akgraner: sounds good
[23:16] <NRWlion> returned
[23:56] <akgraner> so the UWN, Fridge Editors, and Newsletter Translations teams will be owned by the news team and the ownership of the news team will be temp owned by the community team
[23:56] <akgraner> (these refer to the LP teams)
[23:57] <akgraner> in order for the news team to no longer be associated to an individual but as and to a team I'm making these ownership changes
[23:58] <akgraner> once the team elects/selects it's leaders the news team in LP will be owned by the news team leadership team
[23:59] <akgraner> the community team will be available if there are any pressing issues that come up once I have stepped away from the team
