[01:11] <philipballew> anyone need help with articles?
[01:50] <pleia2> we need help collecting them :)
[01:50] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/LinkSuggestions
[01:50] <pleia2> if you go down to the "In the Press" section you'll see about a million links, look on those sites for ubuntu news
[01:51] <pleia2> then put the links in https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en&pli=1 under the "In the Press" section
[01:51] <pleia2> same for "In the blogosphere"
[01:51]  * pleia2 is doing The Planet
[01:52] <philipballew> alright. ill try that tonight. if i am confisued ill ask again in the channel pleia2
[01:53] <pleia2> sounds good, I'll be around (had dinner plans, but they were canceled at last minute)
[01:54] <philipballew> aww, i'm sorry pleia2 I know that can be sad
[01:56] <pleia2> actually I'm a little relieved, I don't know the couple we're meeting (friends of MJ) and I'm always shy and awkward at such dinners ;)
[01:56]  * pleia2 enjoys evening at home
[01:57] <philipballew> a friday night at home for you? you seem like the person out all night! haha I souppose they would not want someone who is shy at dinner.
[01:58] <philipballew> but you seem outgoing in a lot of way pleia2
[01:59] <pleia2> I am ok when I'm the leader, but mostly I am quite shy
[02:00] <philipballew> hum. we all have our places where we excell and dont in others. its what makes the world work
[02:01] <pleia2> :)
[03:51] <pleia2> gosh this list on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/LinkSuggestions is long
[03:51] <pleia2> adding what I can to my rss reader, but it's a chore :)
[04:55] <pleia2> ok, we could use more news and blogosphere stuff, but we have a pretty full issue so far https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en&pli=1
[05:05]  * pleia2 heads out to dinner

[06:18] <NRWlion> philipballew: The two names i gave you are fun and entertaimentparks in North-Rhine Westfalia (my Home State ;) )
[06:18] <NRWlion> in Germany
[06:21] <philipballew> oh nice. never been there
[06:25] <NRWlion> as i have never been over the big ocean ;)
[07:05] <pleia2> I've only ever visited german airports
[07:05] <NRWlion> pleia2: you really stop by these to parks ;)
[07:08] <pleia2> some day :)
[07:17] <NRWlion> hey pleia2 could you link me the google doc of the current issue of the newsletter?=
[07:18] <pleia2> https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en&pli=1
[07:22] <NRWlion> thx ... i have another one of my crazy ideas .... ;)
[07:35] <NRWlion> pleia2: do you have a gmail account? I'd like to have you a read on a google doc i just created (if you have time of course!==)
[07:48] <pleia2> NRWlion: you can share with lyz@princessleia.com (it's a google account)
[07:48] <NRWlion> pleia2: copy ... sharing in 2
[07:49] <NRWlion> ok u should have access now
[07:50] <pleia2> thanks :)
[07:51] <pleia2> cool, I might add a bit more text, thinking of sending this out with the next issue of Ubuntu Weekly News?
[07:51] <NRWlion> if it is usable pls feel free to do what ever you need
[07:52] <NRWlion> i might be able to provide these texts as "Editioral words" or what ever they are called ;)
[07:54] <NRWlion> pleia2: if you need those kinds of texts feel free to contact me ;)
[07:54] <NRWlion> cause this is what i am able to provide :D
[08:00] <pleia2> thanks :)
[08:01] <NRWlion> ok, i am getting back to my work now
[08:04] <NRWlion> hi jono
[17:11] <philipballew> pleia2, hey! so I found an interesting article. well to me... how do I determine where i put it or if it should go anywhere in google docs
[17:11] <pleia2> philipballew: you can paste it here
[17:12] <pleia2> we talk a lot in here as the weekend progresses
[17:12] <philipballew> http://ubuntu.igameilive.com/2011/07/what-orange-is-ubuntu-orange.html
[17:13] <pleia2> good one, but we already have the source article included (the canonical design post)
[17:14] <philipballew> i see, that makes sense. do they have to be on the list of websites or am I allowed to go "into the wild and look"?
[17:14] <pleia2> please go into the wild :)
[17:14] <pleia2> I've done a basic browse through the massive list of sites (added a bunch to my RSS reader)
[17:16] <philipballew> what level of computer knowledge ore we going after here?
[17:17] <pleia2> hard to say, but as long as it's related to ubuntu, it's worth looking at here at least
[17:17] <pleia2> so we don't want the latest kernel news (too generic linux), but "oneiric is shipping with $version kernel" is good
[17:18] <philipballew> makes sence. ill paste them here in a bit when i get 5 or 6
[17:19] <philipballew> i assume uds sponsorships is already been mentioned.
[17:19] <pleia2> yep
[17:20] <pleia2> the google doc has everything we're planning to include this week

[17:38] <pleia2> thanks philipballew :D
[17:39] <pleia2> everyone: I sent the doc out to summary writers, so we're in summary writing mode now :)
[18:18] <holstein> pleia2: i'll try and get to a few this evening, but im going out of town tomorrow morning
[18:18] <holstein> *if* i have interwebs where im staying, i'll check in and do some work
[18:18] <holstein> otherwise, i'll have to miss this week :/
[18:20] <pleia2> holstein: ok, thanks for checking in, enjoy your time away :)
[18:33] <philipballew> 4 articles summarized, will get to more after I run Saturday errands
[18:33]  * holstein high-fives philipballew :)
[18:34] <philipballew> I need to figure out how to do the irc thing with the * sometime
[18:34] <philipballew> haha
[18:34] <pleia2> /me high-fices holstein
[18:34] <holstein> :)
[18:34] <pleia2> fices!
[18:34] <pleia2> typing fails me today :)
[18:35] <holstein> philipballew: you say "/me whatever"
[18:36] <philipballew> do i actually say me or would i type philipballew
[18:36] <philipballew> im a forms person mostly
[18:36]  * philipballew whatever
[18:36] <philipballew> sweet!
[18:36] <holstein> yeah :)
[18:43] <pleia2> heading out to meet up with some friends for lunch, bbl :)
[21:25] <nlsthzn> Hey...quick question on the summary writing... how brief are you guys aiming for ... on the google doc, is "Run Ocelot, Run!" done for instance?
[21:31] <philipballew> nlsthzn, i would do 2. 3 sentences max
[21:31] <philipballew> i did the summery for run ocelot and its done
[21:32] <nlsthzn> philipballew: OK cool... so it is really a quick condense look at the basic idea of the story... cool thanks... (Will see if I can chip in...)
[21:32] <philipballew> basically. thats what i was told
[21:33] <holstein> nlsthzn: they get looked at a lot
[21:33] <holstein> if you get an idea, and its short, go for it
[21:33] <holstein> it can always be edited
[21:33] <holstein> i think the shorter and more conscise the better
[21:34] <nlsthzn> ok, thanks :)
[21:45] <nlsthzn> ... ok, this may sound retarded in this day and age but I have never used Google docs... ever... after making an edit... do I simply hit the save button? (man, do I feel stupid asking this...)
[21:46] <holstein> nlsthzn: no worries
[21:46] <holstein> it *should* auto-save
[21:46] <MrChrisDruif> Indeed
[21:46] <holstein> i usually put my name in the article im working on
[21:46] <holstein> so no one else starts working on it too
[21:46] <holstein> sometimes it doesnt auto-save and you need to hit the button
[21:47] <holstein> the issue is, how to tell...
[21:47] <MrChrisDruif> In the top right corner you should see a grayed-out rounded-down rectangle with "Saved" in it
[21:47] <holstein> yeah ^^ and its mostly functional
[21:48] <nlsthzn> oh yes... I see it now :p thanks... it says saved...
[21:49] <nlsthzn> I was expecting an autosave... it makes sense... but didn't want to bet on it and loose anything :)
[22:09] <NRWlion> morning america
[22:09] <philipballew> its 3pm here
[22:10] <philipballew> noon in Hawaii

[22:15] <nlsthzn> Good morning Vietnam!!!
[22:16] <nlsthzn> btw, never saw the movie but did watch the live events... why would morning america be a quote from Invictus?
[22:17] <philipballew> never seen any of those movies. i must suck
[22:17] <NRWlion> nlsthzn: i just wanted to fool philipballew a bit
[22:18] <nlsthzn> Ah... seems easy enough to do :D
[22:18] <nlsthzn> ;)
[22:20] <NRWlion> btw philipballew you should try to get a dvd of "good morning vietnnam" its a MUST SEE in my opinion
