[11:07] <NRWlion> hey there
[11:09] <NRWlion> pleia2: u there?
[14:06] <pleia2> good morning news friends
[14:19] <NRWlion> o/
[14:23] <pleia2> https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en_US is ready for summaries
[14:23] <holstein> woot
[14:24] <pleia2> and as always, comments welcome with regard to article selection
[14:26] <NRWlion> pleia2: just wanted to report off news-duty for this issue cause i am starting a new job in real life on monday
[14:26] <NRWlion> ;)
[14:27] <pleia2> no problem, everyone helps when they can
[14:40] <NRWlion> pleia2: i know but i hate it if ppl on my team dont give a note if they cant help and just go inactive
[14:43] <pleia2> it's prefectly fine here, if everyone who couldn't participate every week I'd be overloaded with "sorry, I can't help" messages ;)
[14:44] <pleia2> a lot of people work on the newsletter, it's fine if one can't participate one week
[14:51] <NRWlion> pleia2: kk
[14:52] <NRWlion> will stop those messages ... promised :D
[14:52] <pleia2> :)
[14:52] <pleia2> good luck with the new job
[14:52] <NRWlion> pleia2: thx. could use it :D
[15:53]  * nlsthzn just saw something... The summaries for the Ubuntu News Letter must be original content and not copied from the article... Oops... my bad :(
[16:00]  * nlsthzn waves
[16:39] <nhandler> nlsthzn: It is ok to quote something short from the article, but in general, paraphrasing is better (and safer)
[16:47] <nlsthzn> nhandler: ok... just in many articles the authors sometimes give very good descriptions on what they are going to be writing about I thought it worked perfectly (and it was a fast way of getting the news letter done)... But I can see how that can give issues so I will not do so again...
[20:27] <Pendulum> akgraner pleia2 nhandler: any idea who is best for me to poke about expiring UWN and ubuntu-news memberships?
[21:36] <nhandler> Pendulum: I wouldn't worry much about it for now. The teams aren't being used for anything. Once we get the leadership structure sorted out, we will sort out all of the memberships
[21:36] <Pendulum> okay, will just let everything lapse for now then
