[09:54] <NRWlion> good morning
[09:55] <MrChrisDruif> Aloha NRWlion , had a nice sleep in?
[09:56] <NRWlion> honestly i am at work atm
[09:56] <NRWlion> so i have been awake since 7 am
[09:57] <MrChrisDruif> Alright
[09:59] <NRWlion> told you about the thing with the civil protection didnt i?
[09:59] <NRWlion> this kept me awake for the last 50 hrs
[10:10] <MrChrisDruif> The last 50 hours....you should sleep, you know?
[10:14]  * MrChrisDruif is still tired...
[10:28] <NRWlion> MrChrisDruif: i know but my duties are not working by themselves
[10:28] <NRWlion> so i have to be pressent
[10:28] <NRWlion> -s
[10:28] <MrChrisDruif> But didn't you have time to sleep?
[10:28] <MrChrisDruif> Being awake for 50 is also not productive
[10:30] <NRWlion> MrChrisDruif: i layed down a couple of times for an hr or 90 mins but was not able to get much of relaxation
[12:33] <NRWlion> hi there
[12:59]  * MrChrisDruif hopes he can sleep tonight.....restoring files from HDD running a LiveCD.....IN MY BEDROOM!
[12:59] <NRWlion> MrChrisDruif: i cross fingers for you
[12:59] <NRWlion> i will take some extra hrs tonight
[12:59] <MrChrisDruif> Thanks....for estimation wasn't positive.....but it seems to become about 5h
[13:00] <MrChrisDruif> So should be done before I go to bed...and the CD stopped spinning heavily already :)
[13:01] <MrChrisDruif> 3.5h already =-O
[13:08] <MrChrisDruif> Ahhh...just a mere 2 hours :D
[13:52] <ghoulmann> akgraner: good morning (?) this is rik goldman, one who contacted you via email
[13:54] <NRWlion> hey rik this is jens from the team
[13:54] <ghoulmann> good to meet you, jens
[13:55] <ghoulmann> I contacted Amber after a Tumblr call for community involvement.
[13:55] <NRWlion> ok, may i ask if you have any journalistic background?
[13:56] <ghoulmann> I want to learn more to see if it's the right fit. I'm experienced for leadership, am an experienced writer, copyeditor and editor, and tech writer. My journalism background is all in a self-published zine that's been around for 10 years or so.
[13:57] <ghoulmann> not true: i've also published culture reviews for print and online publications.
[13:58] <ghoulmann> i'm not sure I can commit to writing, but I can commit to copy editiing and higher level editorial tasks for sure.
[13:58] <NRWlion> ghoulmann: great to hear about this ;) we could use people like you
[13:59] <ghoulmann> (i'm not an efficient writer, so deadlines weigh to heavily on me in that domain). The end product is something I'm happy about, but my process is enervating.
[13:59] <ghoulmann> NRWlion: great to hear it.
[13:59] <ghoulmann> can I learn more aobut your mission, so I know we're right for each other?
[14:00]  * NRWlion has experience in writing after working as freelancer for a Real Life newspaper for seven years and now running a press office
[14:00] <NRWlion> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam << try this one!
[14:01] <ghoulmann> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/rikgoldman
[14:01]  * ghoulmann reading
[14:04] <ghoulmann> I think the privileged position of the CoC in the editorial process is the most powerfully compelling aspect to me to so far.
[14:06]  * NRWlion doesnt understand
[14:06] <NRWlion> but i am at work now so my mind is a little bit drifted ;)
[14:07] <ghoulmann> I like that abiding by the CoC is first on the list in vetting submissions
[14:09] <ghoulmann> So it looks to me, that given my skillset, this is where I can be the strongest asset to the Ubuntu community. I feel the fit is good, and would be interested in how to follow through, for sure. I teach, so I've got the summer to work out how I can substantively contribute and still manage my time.
[14:11] <NRWlion> ghoulmann: dont worry, i have two jobs, my studies and my duties as medic in my freetime. when there is a will to contribute there will be a way to do so ;)
[14:11] <MrChrisDruif> Indeed
[14:12]  * MrChrisDruif continues to lurk
[14:12] <ghoulmann> excellent. Do I lurk until there's a task to take on?
[14:13] <MrChrisDruif> There is a mailing-list, other then that I don't know how it works here... NRWlion was doing a fine job
[14:13] <MrChrisDruif> I was just backing him up with his comment
[14:14] <ghoulmann> ok. I'll subscribe.
[14:14] <NRWlion> ghoulmann: i did take the list to a short introducting of mine
[14:14] <NRWlion> so i would recommend for you to do the same
