[00:08] nlsthzn: can you please not use the word 'retarded' it's offensive [00:08] pleia2: give me a sec to grab a snack and i'll do some [00:08] woohoo, thanks [00:08] https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en&pli=1 [00:08] in case you don't have it handy :) [00:10] yeah, just found it in logs :) [00:10] Pendulum: sorry about that (took me a few minutes to actually find what you where reffering too)... wasn't meant to be offensive... [00:11] nlsthzn: np. just wanted to mention it [00:12] is anyone working on the Launchpad news summaries? [00:13] Pendulum: Not me... I did a few news articles but it is 4 am here and my mind has shut down... [00:14] okay, i'll do them then :) [00:20] pleia2: one of the posts in Launchpad News is out of date now (was looking for people to do testing last week), can I drop it? [00:20] yeah, go for it [00:34] launchpad news summaries are done [00:39] * nlsthzn sees that Pendulum is fast at this... [00:47] nlsthzn: I used to do a lot of them [00:47] Well... I am sure I will be able to chip in a few every week-end to lighten the load... [02:17] cheers all... time to call it a day and head home... [03:39] sweet, looks like we only need summaries for planet and blogosphere sections [04:28] any help still needed on the summaries. I can type many more tonight if needed [04:32] philipballew: yep, The Planet and In the Blogosphere still need summaries [04:33] alright, I'll see if i can so at least either the planet or the blog tonight [04:35] if not ill do more tomorrow as well. they all need to be done by Sunday evening correct? [04:35] sunday morning [04:36] after that we need to add them to the wiki, get proof readers, and release by monday morning [04:36] (or monday evening, probably monday evening with my schedule) [04:44] haha. ill see what i can do. is it just me and you now? [04:45] hopefully some other people who aren't on IRC are pitching in too [04:45] hopefully. [04:45] but if not oh well [04:46] do you read the article before you type the summery? [04:47] how else could you write a summary? :) [04:48] so yes, I read through the full article and then write the summary [04:50] it is true. just making sure you didn't have some secret. i can usually make a brief outline in my head and then condense it [04:50] it'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 articles [04:52] true, there is no thesis statement in these articles [04:59] any info on this? https://sergioandresmeneses.wordpress.com/2011/07/12/ubuntu-colombia-en-la-campusparty-2011/ [05:01] i do not speak what i think looks like spanish? [05:04] anybody who does? [05:42] hello [05:42] good morning all [05:42] hello alourie [05:43] hi philipballew [05:43] working on summaries too, ha? [05:45] i am. you as well?

[05:57] sure [06:00] philipballew: there are already one-liners in the doc. Should I ignore them? [06:00] i guess if an article has a summery already continue on [06:01] ok [06:03] so I'm off to Blogosphere next [06:58] alourie: thanks, make sure you add your name to the end of the file so we include you in credits [06:59] pleia2: of course [07:13] almost done with blogosphere [07:16] cool, I'm finishing up planet [07:20] pleia2: done with blogosphere [07:20] woohoo [07:20] I think we're done :) [07:21] I'll move them over tomorrow and fill in all the stats we need, should be ready for review in about 12 hours [07:21] ok [07:22] I may not be available to proof in 12 hours... [07:22] so I hope there will be enough proofers around :-) [07:23] we have through monday to find people, so I think we'll be ok [07:24] oh, ok [07:25] I will be online tomorrow, about this time, maybe it'll be still ok [07:25] ok cool [07:26] pleia2: ok, so I've added myself at the end [07:27] thanks, I'll be sure that ends up in the credits of the final release [07:27] of course [07:30] hi [07:49] hi NRWlion [07:49] alourie: how is your sunday [07:49] ?
