pleia2anyone else available for summaries?01:01
pleia2I think we'll drop Translations Stats (I don't know how they work, what release they are for, the fellow who usually does them didn't and never replied to my email asking about version)01:02
pleia2also drop Blogosphere and Other News01:02
pleia2so once we have summaries done we should be in good shape for release tomorrow01:03
pleia2so, anyone else want to help with summaries? :) https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en&pli=103:55

NRWlionworkflow isnt stopping ;)15:37
NRWlionjobs not in sight15:37
NRWlion:(15:37
pleia2good morning, team!17:01
pleia2we'd like to try to get UWN out the door today, so if people could help finish summaries that'd be great17:01
nigelbpleia2: is fridge up for you?17:07
nigelbYesterday I tried writing summaries for stuff on fridge, eventually gave up on those and wrote them for the mailing list posts below17:07
pleia2yikes, doesn't look like it17:07
nigelboh! Finally loaded :-)17:07
pleia2Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.17:07
nigelbokay, better luck for me17:08
* nigelb quickly writes summaries17:08
* pleia2 submits a ticket17:10
pleia2I forgot to cc: the editor email17:18
nigelbpleia2: oh, now its "Error establishing a database connection"17:18
pleia2yeah, I added that to the ticket17:19
pleia2I'd just skip those summaries for now17:20
pleia2no sense spinning our wheels on them when there are a bunch of others that need summaries17:20
nigelbsure, moving on17:21
nigelbpleia2: I've written and continuing to write a bunch of summaries, could you read through them when you have time? :-)17:37
pleia2yay, thanks, looking now :)17:42
pleia2anyone know Benoit Caron?17:42
pleia2someone gave his and highvoltages names to the forums folks to be added as admins and neither of them wanted it17:42
pleia2(I assume akgraner did this?)17:43
nigelbUnfamiliar name17:43
nigelbpleia2: I think everything but our fridge stuff is done.17:46
pleia2\o/17:47
pleia2ugh, stupid wiki!17:57
pleia2nigelb: btw it's `` not '' (backticks, not quotes) for escaping camel case18:00
pleia2quotes make things italic :)18:01
pleia2well, single quotes18:01
holsteinpleia2: actually, i did one of those18:01
* holstein looking to correct...18:01
pleia2oh, oops :)18:01
holsteingot it :)18:02
holsteini can never remember what to do with Camel``Cases :/18:02
nigelbpleia2: arg, sorry!18:07
pleia2nigelb: looks like it wasn't you, sorry :)18:08
pleia2nigelb: if you have time, can you work on the summaries for the first two "In The Press" articles?18:09
nigelbpleia2: yeah, sure18:09
pleia2or anyone can, I see holstein editing now :)18:09
holsteinpleia2: i was just dropping in some `` 's18:09
pleia2oh ok18:09
holsteini put my name in when im working on a summary... so we dont double the efforts18:11
pleia2ah, good idea18:11
pleia2the wiki is still being horrible, giving up on copying over these summaries for now18:13
pleia2wiki failure may make it so we release late, but at least we can get it to Done18:13
pleia2http://ubuntu-news.org/2011/06/16/ubuntu-11-10-development-update/ and http://ubuntu-news.org/2011/06/14/unity-contributor-report-for-14-june/ seem to be loading now, if slowly :)18:38
pleia2so if someone wants to do summaries real quick before they go away again18:38
pleia2nigelb: care to take a stab at it?18:58
* nigelb does18:59
pleia2and the first two in the press ones still need doing19:00
nigelbpleia2: I don't know how to compress unity contributor report19:07
pleia2nigelb: you don't need to include names or anything, just a generic "latest news from the unity community about new contributors, old contributors, blah blah and how to get involved"19:09
nigelbpleia2: Done19:15
pleia2\o/19:16
pleia2ok, let's see how the wiki is doing...19:16
pleia2so much for that19:19
pleia2wiki is usable for the moment \o/20:08
MrChrisDruifNo more internal server errors?20:10
pleia2for me, at the moment, no20:13
pleia2can we get some folks to review: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue22120:13

NRWlionholland ^^ oh, this was a different stage ;)20:17
NRWlionhi every120:17
MrChrisDruifI don't know what NRWlion meant with that holland remark20:25
MrChrisDruifpleia2; It's starts good with "in this issue" within two lines20:26
pleia2MrChrisDruif: "In this issue" needs to be completed still, it will be a whole listing of everything in the issue20:27
MrChrisDruifAlright, didn't know that...(I've never read it before, shame on me)20:27
nhandlerpleia2: Sorry for not being around much today. I can still help with publishing it if you need it.20:30
pleia2nhandler: no worries, if you could do publishing later today that'd be awesome20:30
pleia2we're doing editorial review now and need to add "In this issue"20:30

AlanBellalthough I didn't think an interview with me is *that* newsworthy21:19
AlanBellI do like the way I forgot my own age, but as it took a while to publish the article it ended up being released on my birthday thereby getting the age right in the end21:20
pleia2lol21:21
