| NRWlion | hi there | 12:03 |
|---|---|---|
| MrChrisDruif | Aloha NRWlion | 12:05 |
| NRWlion | the man who is always there | 12:05 |
| NRWlion | MrChrisDruif: | 12:05 |
| NRWlion | :D | 12:05 |
| NRWlion | hoe gaat die? | 12:05 |
| MrChrisDruif | Not always | 12:05 |
| MrChrisDruif | Pretty good | 12:05 |
| NRWlion | sounds great | 12:05 |
| NRWlion | i have some stress (work) to finish by tonight | 12:06 |
| NRWlion | so i am away now | 12:06 |
| MrChrisDruif | Well....GET TO IT! | 12:06 |
| MrChrisDruif | :P | 12:06 |
| NRWlion | just checking if akgraner had some new | 12:06 |
| NRWlion | s | 12:06 |
| NRWlion | hi matt! | 12:36 |
| ghoulmann | akgraner: sorry I missed you! left my client on at work all night, which was misleading. I'll be on day today. | 12:47 |
| NRWlion | ghoulmann: hi there ;) | 12:49 |
| ghoulmann | greetings, good to see you | 12:50 |
| NRWlion | vice versa ;) | 12:53 |
| NRWlion | how are things? | 12:53 |
| NRWlion | btw. MrChrisDruif you are allowed to participate in this convo ;) no lurking :P | 12:53 |
| MrChrisDruif | Where, what? | 12:54 |
| ghoulmann | NRWlion: so far so good, but it's still earlier and all could still go to hell :) I teach, so every day is an adventure and a stand up routine. | 12:54 |
| MrChrisDruif | What do you wanna talk about NRWlion ? | 12:55 |
| ghoulmann | i think i have a substantive question - what does the publication use as a style guide? | 12:57 |
| ghoulmann | ...that is, to where does it turn for matters of conventional grammar, usage? | 13:02 |
| Pendulum | ghoulmann: American English | 13:06 |
| Pendulum | I'm not sure we've ever gotten more specific than that, but usually I do stuff based off Chicago Manual of Style (mostly because that's what we used when I was working in publishing) | 13:06 |
| ghoulmann | ok. i'm happy with any, as long as there's consistency. | 13:09 |
| ghoulmann | Pendulum: thanks for the response | 13:09 |
| Pendulum | the big thing is American English | 13:12 |
| ghoulmann | ok, i'm set there. | 13:12 |
| Pendulum | otherwise I think I've been the final proofreader on several issues and I don't always think specifically for a style guide, just make sure it's consistant | 13:13 |
| ghoulmann | that's my priority as well. But when there's an inconsistency, it's nice to be able to appeal to single authority, regardless how arbitrary. | 13:14 |
| Pendulum | :) | 13:18 |
| * NRWlion waits for a response on his proposal to the list until he is able to continue work | 13:18 | |
| Pendulum | also, we don't correct spelling/punctuation mistakes inside quotations usually | 13:18 |
| NRWlion | ok now i know where i never would like to work inside this team ... proofreading cause my english is bad as hell regarding spelling & punctuation | 13:31 |
| ghoulmann | NRWlion: I teach rhetoric and comp. The last thing I want to do is correct petty errors unless they cause confusion. I prefer substantive revision and contributing to editorial decisions, but I have broad skills and a commitment, so I'll work toward being an asset in any way I'm useful. | 13:41 |
| Pendulum | heh | 13:43 |
| Pendulum | ghoulmann: where do you teach? | 13:43 |
| ghoulmann | a high school in maryland, Prior at WVU and Bethany College. | 13:46 |
| ghoulmann | literature primarily, but also advanced tech and writing. | 13:47 |
| Pendulum | nice :) | 13:48 |
| * Pendulum will be spending some time in Maryland later this summer | 13:49 | |
| ghoulmann | it is nice to go to work happy. | 13:49 |
| ghoulmann | Pendulum: let me know if you need a couch or a ride. | 13:49 |
| Pendulum | heh. I'll be down for surgery so will probably be in hospital for about 1/2 of it | 13:50 |
| ghoulmann | eeg. | 13:50 |
| Pendulum | but one of my other specialists is also in MD so I'm down every 6 months or so anyway | 13:50 |
| Pendulum | I'm thinking pre-surgery I might try to hold an Ubuntu Hour if I can get the MD LoCo interested | 13:51 |
| ghoulmann | they are great. | 13:51 |
| Pendulum | since when I was down last month I went to a DC LoCo meetup | 13:51 |
| ghoulmann | much more active than dc loco, from what i can tell | 13:51 |
| Pendulum | (I stayed with maco for part of my time down last month) | 13:51 |
| ghoulmann | cool. i don't see much action from dc, but a lot of pr and marketing from MD. | 13:52 |
| Pendulum | *nods* | 13:52 |
| ghoulmann | i'm trying to get 12.04 release party hosted at my school. | 13:52 |
| Pendulum | :) | 13:53 |
| Pendulum | not 11.10? | 13:53 |
| MrChrisDruif | 12.04? That's next year | 13:54 |
| ghoulmann | confused and hasty. I expect the next release to be during summer (without figuring it out. too hasty, yes 11.10 | 13:55 |
| ghoulmann | !s/expect/expected/ | 13:55 |
| Pendulum | s'ok | 13:55 |
| Pendulum | releases are every 6 months :) | 13:55 |
| Pendulum | so April and October | 13:55 |
| MrChrisDruif | Indeed | 13:55 |
| Pendulum | (with the exception of Dapper which was delayed until June when it came out, but that was before my time) | 13:55 |
| * ghoulmann nods | 13:55 | |
| MrChrisDruif | Before any of use /me thinks | 14:11 |
| NRWlion | aloha | 17:14 |
| pleia2 | akgraner: did you submit an rt ticket about the caching problems on ubuntu-news.org? I didn't see anything go to the editor account | 18:30 |
| pleia2 | I can submit the ticket if needed | 18:30 |
| pleia2 | it's really bad :\ | 18:32 |
| nhandler | pleia2: What is getting cached? | 18:37 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: I never see new posts when I go to ubuntu-news.org (and www.ubuntu-news.org is even worse) | 18:38 |
| pleia2 | I have to refresh a bunch of times, even then it doesn't always work | 18:38 |
| pleia2 | different browsers, different computers, akgraner said she saw similar behavior | 18:38 |
| nhandler | pleia2: Ah, ok. I clear my cache rather frequently, so I haven't noticed. | 18:38 |
| pleia2 | even on a browser I've never gone to it on I get the ubuntu open week post from a month ago as the top post, nothing recent | 18:40 |
| pleia2 | you're not seeing this behavior at all? | 18:41 |
| nhandler | Nope. I get jcastro's recent unity post | 18:41 |
| pleia2 | I can't see that at all :( | 18:42 |
| * nhandler makes a note that we need to finalize some content guidelines for the fridge still | 18:42 | |
| pleia2 | all I see is the latest ocelot post | 18:43 |
| pleia2 | I can see it if I go to the direct url though | 18:45 |
| pleia2 | 10:41:35 <&pleia2> can someone go to ubuntu-news.org and tell me the top post they see? | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | 10:45:55 <@jedijf> Ubuntu Open Week: May 2-6 2011 | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | 10:46:02 < jamalta> pleia2: open week | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | 10:45:55 <@jedijf> By akgraner | Published: 2011-05-02 | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | yeah, it's broken | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | 10:46:26 < sn9> Ubuntu Open Week: May 2-6 2011 | 18:46 |
| nhandler | pleia2: Out of curiosity, are you logged in to the site right now? | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | it says I am, but that's cached too, let me log in again | 18:47 |
| pleia2 | when I'm logged in I can see new posts | 18:47 |
| nhandler | pleia2: I just tried connecting while not logged in, that gives me the Open Week post. Could it be a permission problem? | 18:49 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: possibly, but I've never seen this before and I don't know what changed | 18:50 |
| nhandler | Neither do I. But it is definitely worth noting that being logged in shows the newer posts. | 18:51 |
| pleia2 | looking at individual posts there aren't any obvious difference between old and new posts | 18:52 |
| nhandler | Yeah, and I'm not seeing anything under Settings that would cause this | 18:53 |
| pleia2 | alright, I'm going to assume akgraner didn't submit the ticket and I'll go ahead and submit one now | 18:53 |
| pleia2 | I'll cc the fridge editors gmail account | 18:53 |
| nhandler | pleia2: Thanks. | 18:54 |
| pleia2 | ok, we have ticket 17242 | 19:04 |
| pleia2 | akgraner: what's the ticket number for the openid problem? | 19:04 |
| * nhandler really wishes there was a way to use the ubuntu login to add CCs to a ticket | 19:05 | |
| pleia2 | that would be nice | 19:05 |
| pleia2 | it's interesting that they use rt at all rather than lp | 19:06 |
| nhandler | pleia2: LP really doesn't work well for tasks. The permission settings also don't allow as fine grain control. | 19:13 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 19:13 |
| nhandler | They were also using rt before lp was around, so it would require a change in workflow | 19:13 |
| NRWlion | hi every1 | 20:46 |
