pleia2putting together the "other stuff" in the newsletter now, hopefully my blog post will lure in some more summary-writing volunteers03:59
zkriesse_pleia2: need more writers eh?04:01
pleia2zkriesse_: yeah, need people to write article summaries on https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en&pli=104:02
pleia2a bunch are done, just need a few more04:02
holsteini should have some time in the AM04:03
pleia2thanks holstein :)04:03
holsteinbut, i dont want to be the only one writing them04:03
* pleia2 nods04:03
pleia2I'll work on some after I finish populating the other stuff04:03
holsteinill try and recruit as well :)04:03
holsteinfolks can do it that are *not* on the irc04:04
holsteinits just a bit challenging to know when they are working on them04:04
holsteinwhen i was grabbing articles, i just went ahead and summarized them as i went04:04
holsteinthat would be ideal04:05
holsteinassuming its not just you grabbing a bunch at once04:05
pleia2when I'm grabbing links I'm just doing my regular rss reading, stopping to do summaries wouldn't work for me04:05
holsteinyeah.. not ideal04:06
holsteinwe'll get some more help04:06
pleia2oh nice, you can actually log into the wiki in a timely manner these days04:08
* pleia2 hadn't logged in on this computer since before the upgrade04:08
holsteinthats great04:08
holsteinits usually slooooow04:09
pleia2nhandler: do you remember where you got "unconfirmed" bugs number? it's way higher when you pulled it than in any other issues lately04:24
pleia2I think the rest of us had just been using "new" for that04:25
pleia2ok, I wrote some summaries and moved several sections over to the wiki04:54
pleia2and now everything with completed summaries is moved over, just need 8 or so more summaries05:08

NRWlionhi cheri12:39
nhandlerpleia2: Yeah, I thought it was a bit strange. I think the comment for that section said to use the number of 'new' bugs15:11
pleia2yeah, new is what should be used, and that's been hovering around 49k16:01
nhandlerpleia2: Ah, I see what happened. I was logged in to launchpad at the time, and I can see more bugs. If I'm not logged in, I get a number similar to what we have had in the past16:11
* nhandler goes to update the non summary sections16:11
nhandlerOr did you do them already?16:12
pleia2yeah, I did them16:12
* nhandler hugs pleia2 16:13
pleia2ok, for new bugs we can just do "since last issue"16:13
nhandlerThat works.16:13
pleia24 people emailed to help \o/16:45
pleia2still need those 8 summaries on https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en&pli=116:45
pleia2ok, once we get the rest of these summaries we will have it in an editable state, should be good to release this evening16:53
* pleia2 > work16:54

pleia2I'll review the suggested new template this week and see about transitioning to it (I'm manually doing some edits to the current template, which feels silly17:21
holsteinpleia2: well... i cant say its done, but i can say im done ;)17:28
holsteinbbl...17:28
pleia2thanks holstein!17:28

Garethpleia2: howdy :)18:18
pleia2https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue223 is what we're reviewing :)18:18
* Gareth looks18:18
GarethIn the "Get ready for Ubuntu Developer Week" section, "sometimes of presentations" doesnt sound right to me.  Seems like it should be "sometimes as presentations"18:21
pleia2yeah18:23
Garethpleia2: went through the rest, couldn't find any issues.  Looks good.18:27
pleia2thanks :)18:28
Garethnp18:28
