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 pleia2: one of the posts in Launchpad News is out of date now (was looking for people to do testing last week), can I drop it?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

[05:45] <philipballew> what are you workin on in there?
[05:49] <alourie> I'll go for planet stuff, and move forward. You?
[05:54] <philipballew> do press and move forword as im almost done with planets
[05:54] <philipballew> unless you wanna do planets
[05:54] <alourie> oh, I don't care
[05:55] <alourie> no problem, I'll go for press
[05:55] <alourie> (that's what I did in the past anyway :-) )
[05:55] <philipballew> oh nice!
[05:57] <alourie> sure
[06:00] <alourie> philipballew: there are already one-liners in the doc. Should I ignore them?
[06:00] <philipballew> i guess if an article has a summery already continue on
[06:01] <alourie> ok
[06:03] <alourie> so I'm off to Blogosphere next
[06:58] <pleia2> alourie: thanks, make sure you add your name to the end of the file so we include you in credits
[06:59] <alourie> pleia2: of course
[07:13] <alourie> almost done with blogosphere
[07:16] <pleia2> cool, I'm finishing up planet
[07:20] <alourie> pleia2: done with blogosphere
[07:20] <pleia2> woohoo
[07:20] <pleia2> I think we're done :)
[07:21] <pleia2> 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] <alourie> ok
[07:22] <alourie> I may not be available to proof in 12 hours...
[07:22] <alourie> so I hope there will be enough proofers around :-)
[07:23] <pleia2> we have through monday to find people, so I think we'll be ok
[07:24] <alourie> oh, ok
[07:25] <alourie> I will be online tomorrow, about this time, maybe it'll be still ok
[07:25] <pleia2> ok cool
[07:26] <alourie> pleia2: ok, so I've added myself at the end

[08:44] <philipballew> seems easy
[08:58] <alourie> it is when there are a lot of people participating

[15:40]  * NRWlion waves back
[15:41] <nlsthzn> :)
[15:55] <nlsthzn> Oh cool... I see the summary writing for 224 is complete :)
[15:57] <NRWlion> nlsthzn: i hope to find my name on the credits as well ;)
[15:57] <NRWlion> had a little text about getting new participants (how they could help us etc)
[15:57] <NRWlion> hope that pleia2 has put it in as she told me
[15:58] <nlsthzn> Cool... I am just glad I could help do something constructuve... even if I did just write 3 sentences... "must do more next time" :)
[15:59] <NRWlion> nlsthzn: maybe i will be able to write some summaries too
[16:01] <nlsthzn> Why not... but you will have to be quick next time... or you will miss out :)
[16:13] <NRWlion> nlsthzn: depends on my workload for the week ;)
[16:13] <nlsthzn> Well, this only happens at week-ends so no excuses :p
[16:15] <NRWlion> nlsthzn: yeah but at the weekends i am doing work that had to be left aside during week
[16:18] <nlsthzn> Excuses excuses

[16:33] <NRWlion> ;)
[16:38] <nlsthzn> Having a look
[17:22] <pleia2> I'll look at this doc again in a bit, working on main newsletter now
[17:26] <pleia2> Andre_Gondim: you can add translation stats at any time: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue224
[17:26] <pleia2> we're releasing late tomorrow
[18:16] <pleia2> we are ready for reviewing! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue224
[18:23] <nlsthzn> Oh boy...
[18:23] <nlsthzn> :p
[18:24] <nlsthzn> Whats up with the issue number?
[18:24] <pleia2> that's why we have editors! fixed :)
[18:26] <nlsthzn> What is the best way to point out an issue... should I just mention it here?
[18:27] <pleia2> yeah
[18:27] <nlsthzn> The Planet - First link...Elizabeth talks about some of the work that goes into publishing the Ubuntu Weekly News (hey, that's us!) each week and does a call for volunteers who can help writing article summaries for links collected throughout the week.
[18:27] <nlsthzn> *should be ...write article...
[18:27] <nlsthzn> *write articles
[18:27] <nlsthzn> *write article
[18:27] <nlsthzn> doh
[18:27] <pleia2> :)
[18:27] <pleia2> yeah
[18:29] <nlsthzn> oh another thing I notice... In the Press... I put all my summaries below the links... while it seems standard to have the summary above the link
[18:29] <pleia2> oops
[18:29] <pleia2> I'll get that sorted too
[18:29] <nlsthzn> Blog Sphere too
[18:32] <pleia2> there we go
[18:32] <nlsthzn> Well thanks to Linux, Canonical, and the Team here for a chance to help out...
[18:34] <pleia2> thanks nlsthzn
[19:48] <nlsthzn> In the note: That’s why we are looking for you! Exactly! You readers can help us too. *I get the idea behind the "Exactly!" but it doesn't flow well and I suspect can be a bit confusing...
