[16:17] <nhandler> akgraner: Not sure if the "we" in your comment referred to the fridge/news team, but to be clear, we "whitelist" certain interview blogs that have been proven to write good Ubuntu interviews. A script then parses the Interviews wiki page and publishes new interviews to the Fridge. We (news team/fridge) aren't the ones doing the interview, and by posting all of the interviews, we aren't endorsing anyone in particular imo.
[16:18] <akgraner> the we was the Ubuntu Community - I guess I should have been more clear - Maybe I am just jaded due to past interaction with members of that group
[16:19] <akgraner> you can delete the comment if you want as I will freely admit it was made with emotion
[16:20] <pleia2> and in general you should probaby follow up with the orginal poster (melissa left a comment in s-fox's journal too)
[16:20] <nhandler> akgraner: I'm staying out of this as much as I can ;) Feel free to delete your own comment if you want though. I also think many of us are aware of the history of the channel and individual. I was actually somewhat glad that certain things were left out of it. I'm also hoping that someone does another interview soon ;)
[16:21] <pleia2> nhandler: +1
[16:21] <akgraner> :-)
[16:21] <akgraner> gotcha
[16:21] <akgraner> +1 pleia2
[16:21]  * nhandler notes ubuntu-user is whitelisted ;)
[16:21] <akgraner> :-)
[16:22] <akgraner> my role there is up in the air atm
[16:24] <akgraner> since Rikki left - waiting to find out my future :-)
[16:28] <nhandler> akgraner: You might be pleased to know that we've automated a large portion of the UWN release process. You now run one script which will prepare a folder of files for you to copy/paste. It will also take care of running a script to prepare a draft UWN post on the fridge for you to review.
[16:31] <akgraner> I heard and I think that is freaking awesome!
[16:31] <akgraner> you all are rocking and I love it!
[17:36] <pleia2> so, collecting links every week is too much work for me every week
[17:40] <pleia2> (and in general, all of this is too much work)
[17:40] <pleia2> we need more volunteers
[17:41] <holstein> pleia2: agreed

[18:52] <nhandler> Out of curiosity, how does everyone here follow news sites? I personally use google reader through their site most of the time. I was wondering if having a small bookmarklet (or a custom sharing option for greader) would make this easier
[18:56] <pleia2> I took akgraner's list of news sites and put them in a shared google reader thingy
[18:56] <pleia2> but it's like 700 updates/day
[18:57] <pleia2> http://www.google.com/reader/bundle/user%2F03745008358098373620%2Fbundle%2FUWN-News
[18:57] <pleia2> it's kind of insane
