Pendulumyeah, just found it in logs :)00:10
nlsthznPendulum: sorry about that (took me a few minutes to actually find what you where reffering too)... wasn't meant to be offensive...00:10
Pendulumnlsthzn: np. just wanted to mention it00:11
Pendulumis anyone working on the Launchpad news summaries?00:12
nlsthznPendulum: Not me... I did a few news articles but it is 4 am here and my mind has shut down...00:13
Pendulumokay, i'll do them then :)00:14

Pendulumnlsthzn: I used to do a lot of them00:47
nlsthznWell... I am sure I will be able to chip in a few every week-end to lighten the load...00:47
nlsthzncheers all... time to call it a day and head home...02:17
pleia2sweet, looks like we only need summaries for planet and blogosphere sections03:39
philipballewany help still needed on the summaries. I can type many more tonight if needed04:28
pleia2philipballew: yep, The Planet and In the Blogosphere still need summaries04:32
philipballewalright, I'll see if i can so at least either the planet or the blog tonight04:33
philipballewif not ill do more tomorrow as well. they all need to be done by Sunday evening correct?04:35
pleia2sunday morning04:35
pleia2after that we need to add them to the wiki, get proof readers, and release by monday morning04:36
pleia2(or monday evening, probably monday evening with my schedule)04:36
philipballewhaha. ill see what i can do. is it just me and you now?04:44
pleia2hopefully some other people who aren't on IRC are pitching in too04:45
philipballewhopefully.04:45
philipballewbut if not oh well04:45
philipballewdo you read the article before you type the summery?04:46
pleia2how else could you write a summary? :)04:47
pleia2so yes, I read through the full article and then write the summary04:48
philipballewit is true. just making sure you didn't have some secret. i can usually make a brief outline in my head and then condense it04:50
pleia2it's been suggested that to save time we just take the first paragraph, but in this world of blogs it doesn't work like it might have once with newspaper articles04:50
philipballewtrue, there is no thesis statement in these articles04:52
