[00:08] <holstein> nhandler: you want a new thread?
[00:10] <holstein> actually, i dont have permission either :/
[01:28] <nhandler> holstein: Thanks. I'll try and get this sorted out
[01:29] <holstein> nhandler: lemme know if i can do something
[01:29] <nhandler> holstein: Will do
[01:29] <nhandler> Right now, it is mainly a game of IRC tag :)
[10:43] <dholbach> hiya
[10:43] <dholbach> I'm just writing an article on ubuntu-news.org
[10:43] <dholbach> but it seems like I can't add pictures?
[10:44] <dholbach> do I have to upload the picture somewhere else and edit the HTML myself?
[10:48] <NRWlion> hi there
[11:22] <dholbach> if somebody could review my ubuntu-news post, I'd appreciate it
[14:31] <dholbach> can somebody please review my ubuntu-news post?
[14:35] <holstein> dholbach: sure
[14:36] <dholbach> thanks holstein!
[14:36] <holstein> dholbach: where is it?
[14:36] <dholbach> holstein, oh, I think you need to be a reviewer of ubuntu-news.org to be able to review and shove it through
[14:37] <dholbach> hum, I'm not sure who all can do that
[14:40] <holstein> i thought that was a forum thing
[14:40] <holstein> i dont think i have any control over there...
[15:17] <dholbach> nhandler, pleia2: ^? :)
[15:54] <dholbach> popey, Pendulum: are you ubuntu-news reviewers as well?
[15:55] <holstein> dholbach: is this for something you are trying to get in the newsletter?
[15:55] <Pendulum> dholbach: nope, sorry
[15:56] <dholbach> holstein, no, on the ubuntu-news.org blog
[15:56] <dholbach> Pendulum, no worries :)
[16:01] <pleia2> looking now
[16:02] <pleia2> dholbach: where?
[16:02] <dholbach> pleia2, I guess it's a draft in ubuntu-news.org?
[16:02] <dholbach> pleia2, I clicked "submit for review"
[16:03] <pleia2> yeah, not seeing any drafts, hmm
[16:03] <popey> i looked earlier
[16:03] <popey> it is there
[16:03] <pleia2> yeah, there it is
[16:03] <dholbach> super! :-D
[16:04] <popey> i also upgraded wordpress whilst I was there
[16:04] <popey> but didnt have time to properly read your post, sorry
[16:04] <dholbach> popey, no worries
[16:04] <dholbach> to be fair most of the post is what Abhinav wrote about his experience, which I mostly just quoted :)
[16:05] <dholbach> he just rocks
[16:05] <dholbach> popey, do you know if there's a way to include pictures? or is it "upload somewhere, edit post's HTML"?
[16:06] <pleia2> dholbach: published
[16:06] <pleia2> dholbach: let me get you an account set up (openid is broken, but I can set you up with a regular account for now that you can link later
[16:06]  * dholbach hugs pleia2
[16:06] <dholbach> pleia2, you rock!
[16:06]  * dholbach dances the crazy I've-become-a-reporter dance
[16:06]  * popey steps away from the nutter
[16:07] <dholbach> haha
[16:07] <dholbach> it never was my intention to become a reporter :)
[16:08] <nigelb> Don't worry, we're glad you found your life's calling :P
[16:08] <pleia2> dholbach: you should receive an email w/ passwd
[16:08]  * dholbach coughs
[16:08] <dholbach> thanks pleia2
[16:08] <pleia2> sure
[16:08] <dholbach> pleia2, got it - thanks muchly
[16:11] <pleia2> we submitted a ticket last week about openid not working, once that is again we can link your account to your lp account so you don't need to bother with the password (and http auth)
[16:12] <dholbach> sweet
[16:13] <nhandler> pleia2: Do we want to put dholbach through the process of being assigend a "mentor" to review his posts before they go live?
[16:13] <Daviey> I don't think he can be trusted. :)
[16:14] <pleia2> nhandler: he can just ask in here for review, I don't think any of us has to be a specific mentor
[16:14] <dholbach> I'm happy for you to review :-)
[16:15] <nhandler> pleia2: Yeah, I meant more putting him through the process of requiring all posts get reviewed before being posted for a while
[16:15] <nigelb> Daviey: Did dholbach steal your tea? :P
[16:15] <pleia2> nhandler: yeah, he's just an "author" for now, we'll bump him up to editor in a couple weeks
[16:15] <nhandler> pleia2: Ah, perfect
[16:24] <nhandler> Is the fridge crawling for anyone else today?
[16:34] <pleia2> it was fine earlier
[16:34] <pleia2> but yeah, now it's a bit slow
[16:40] <nhandler> I had Spads give it a poke so I can get the americas rmb post out
[16:51] <pleia2> nhandler: btw, Technoviking is the one that set up the forum mods, might want to give him a nudge re: uwn on forums
[16:51] <pleia2> (if you haven't already)
[17:09] <nhandler> pleia2: Yeah, I poked him about that yesterday. He said it should have been working (and I do have access to the moderation tools for existing threads). I poked him saying holstein couldn't post a new thread either
[17:10] <pleia2> ok, cool
[20:10] <pleia2> nhandler: interview script WIN! :)
[20:16] <nhandler> pleia2: Did you add the interviews category? Or did the script finally work?
[20:16] <pleia2> it finally worked :)
[20:17] <nhandler> \o/
