[00:42] <pleia2> nlsthzn: it's all the articles people added throughout the week, we can delete some if it's too much
[00:43] <pleia2> (the first couple issues lately were very, very sparse because we didn't have all the news sources)
[00:44] <nlsthzn> pleia2: hey... I will leave that to you qualified lot to do :) For now I wish I could have done more... It is as if the plant senses I want to do something else and acts up... But I will be available again in about 10 hours to try and do some more...
[00:48] <pleia2> who is qualified? I'm not even a member of this team! ;)
[00:49] <pleia2> I'll work on summaries and delete some articles though
[00:49] <rww> I've seen some blogs that use social bookmarking sites to collect links through the week and then select from them for linkspams. I wonder if UWN could do something similar.
[00:49] <rww> (well, it could. I wonder if it would be useful :)
[01:08] <nlsthzn> pleia2: well, it might only happen over week-ends but their seems to be enough work that goes into UWN for there to be a team :)
[01:08] <pleia2> nlsthzn: I meant the actual team in launchpad :)
[01:09] <pleia2> we certainly are a casual team here
[01:09] <nlsthzn> But we must become official, then we can demand dental care and lunch breaks...
[01:09] <pleia2> lol
[01:10]  * pleia2 switches to couch and netbook to write summaries
[01:10] <nlsthzn> Good idea... best to keep away from the disctractions here :D
[01:11] <pleia2> haha, still have distractions :) it's just more comfy here on the couch
[01:46] <pleia2> ok, I think summaries are done
[01:47] <nlsthzn> Wow... that was very fast (or did you delete half of them :) )
[01:47] <pleia2> haha, I only deleted one of them
[01:47] <pleia2> and not quick, 35 minutes!
[01:48] <nlsthzn> I hope it was the one with the broken link :)
[01:53] <pleia2> yeah, deleted that one too
[01:53] <pleia2> sad about that, it was a cool post
[01:55] <nlsthzn> it was... awesome Robots :D
[02:11] <nlsthzn> well... my turn to go home... cheers all
[02:13] <pleia2> later nlsthzn
[02:15] <nlsthzn> bai
[02:28] <pleia2> ok, we still need translation stats, but otherwise - review time! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue227
[02:28] <pleia2> probably will release in 20-24 hours, so there is plenty of review time :)
[13:25]  * nlsthzn-work waves
[15:59] <pleia2> anyone available for editorial review? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue227
[16:00] <philipballew> im avaible
[16:00] <philipballew> *available
[16:00] <pleia2> thanks :)
[16:00] <philipballew> but im not an editor haha
[16:01] <pleia2> you just read through and look for obvious errors
[16:01] <pleia2> make sure the grammar makes sense, no stray words or unclear summaries
[16:02] <pleia2> Pendulum: you around to take a look too?
[16:03] <Pendulum> pleia2: good timing, right before I take my next dose of meds :)
[16:04] <pleia2> :D
[16:04] <Pendulum> do we care about things being actual sentences?
[16:04] <pleia2> what do you mean?
[16:06] <Pendulum> 'Highlights from the recent Usability Testing done on both the Thunderbird and Evolution E-mail clients, handled by an external consultant at the Canonical offices in London.' is a description, but not a sentence
[16:06] <pleia2> oh ok, yeah it should probably be a sentence
[16:07] <Pendulum> okay, I'm going to go in and start editing
[16:09] <pleia2> thanks
[16:10] <Pendulum> btw, do we really want something in talking about Club Ubuntu considering the amount of controversy it's involved within the actual community?
[16:11] <Pendulum> (including definite instances of club ubuntu trolling namespace channels)
[16:11] <Pendulum> I just worry that it might really upset the IRCC
[16:13] <Myrtti> *ahem*
[16:13] <Myrtti> you said it out loud :-P
[16:14] <Pendulum> Myrtti: did I miss something in my drug induced haze this weekend? ;-)
[16:16] <Myrtti> Pendulum: nothing public :->
[16:16] <pleia2> Pendulum: it's part of an approved series of ubuntu interviews that the news team always supports (it's automatically posted to the fridge)
[16:17] <pleia2> I don't know that we really should be exercising editorial control here
[16:18] <Pendulum> ok
[16:18] <Pendulum> I just wanted to kinda put the heads up there
[16:18] <pleia2> yeah, we've been getting criticism for it all week
[16:18] <Pendulum> because I'm not comfortable with it (but I also don't think it's an interview that should have been done on something semi-official anyway)
[16:20] <Myrtti> well
[16:20] <Pendulum> but that's all I'll say about it
[16:21] <nlsthzn-at-work> Hmmm... so many issues in Ubuntu land (and FOSS in general)
[16:23] <Myrtti> in fact, it is all I'll say about the subject too
[16:24] <Pendulum> my editing changes are in
[16:24] <pleia2> I'm not insensitive to the issue, I left the channel myself following gender-based abuse that em thought was funny (see, she lives in a city unlike all us softies, and in cities people aren't nice like they are in suburbs)
[16:25] <pleia2> oh wait.
[16:26] <pleia2> thanks Pendulum :)
[16:26] <Pendulum> pleia2: for me it's mostly that I've actively seen them encourage minor trolling in -women
[16:27] <Myrtti> to be young and innocent like you ;-)
[16:27] <pleia2> yeah, I'm surprised freenode hasn't shut them down for their channel raids
[16:28] <pleia2> anyway, I don't know, it's a tough call
[16:28] <pleia2> maybe we should pull it, having it xpost to the fridge was enough
[16:29] <Myrtti> I approve the descicion if it comes to that
[16:29] <Myrtti> atleast #ubuntu-offtopic has had it share of their visits this weekend
[16:30] <pleia2> done
[16:30] <Myrtti> decision, even
[16:30] <pleia2> I am the decider!
[16:30] <Myrtti> oh boy, where did the time go
[16:30] <Myrtti> I've not eaten today and it's 1930
[16:30] <nlsthzn-at-work> yikes
[16:30] <pleia2> I did that the other day
[16:31] <nlsthzn-at-work> not good for your health people
[16:31] <nlsthzn-at-work> :)
[16:31] <Myrtti> what health...
[16:31] <Myrtti> anyway
[16:31] <pleia2> it's not intentional :P
[16:31]  * pleia2 just had a stupid busy day at work
[16:33] <Pendulum> if I were taking my meds the way they want me to, I'd be missing a lot of meals right now
[16:33] <Pendulum> luckily I think it's more important for me to spend some time each day conscious and to get food in than it is for me to be doped up to keep pain down
[16:33]  * pleia2 nods
[16:34]  * nlsthzn-at-work is alergic to pain\
[16:35] <Pendulum> nlsthzn-at-work: I had 2 major surgeries last week. It's not really an option for me atm
[16:38] <nlsthzn-at-work> Pendulum: sorry to hear... hope you recover soon!
[16:39] <Pendulum> it'll happen eventually :)
[16:45] <nhandler> I have no issue leaving the interview out of UWN. We don't publish all interviews anyway. While I personally would not have done the interview in the first place, I still think that it would have been wrong for us to stop it from going to the Fridge
[16:45] <nhandler> holstein: You still up for publishing today?
[16:46] <nhandler> Looks like we still need translation stats
[16:48] <pleia2> yeah, I haven't seen andre
[16:48] <pleia2> do you know how to do them? otherwise I'd say drop them this week
[16:48] <nhandler> pleia2: I can figure it out. Give me a couple of minutes
[16:50] <nhandler> Looks like it is just being pulled from the untranslated column on https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/
[16:51] <Myrtti> hold on
[16:51] <Myrtti> what in earth is that title
[16:51] <Myrtti> "Translation Stats Lucid"
[16:51] <Myrtti> :-D
[16:52] <pleia2> before my time
[16:53] <nhandler> The template is wrong. The heading section has been manually modified in the past
[16:53] <pleia2> ah
[16:54] <pleia2> I don't understand translations, I don't know what release we're supposed to be tracking for this
[16:55] <nhandler> pleia2: They have been doing 11.10 (which makes the most sense to me)
[16:55]  * pleia2 nods
[16:56] <nhandler> One thing that might cause problems is if the top 5 languages change between releases (it would make it difficult to do the +/- since last week)
[16:56] <pleia2> yeah
[16:59] <nhandler> Translation stats done.
[17:00]  * nlsthzn-at-work would like to later find out more of the ins and outs that make up the UWN and assist even further...
[17:00] <nhandler> nlsthzn-at-work: Great. We can always use more help
[17:04] <nlsthzn-at-work> are you guys using a mailing list or just the IRC to communicate?
[17:04] <pleia2> just irc
[17:04] <pleia2> pretty much just right here :)
[17:05] <holstein> nhandler: i dont think im going to have time today :/
[17:05] <holstein> im out for a meeting, and then a have a gig
[17:05] <holstein> busy weekend... which is good for me
[17:05] <holstein> i'll try and catch up if i get a few minutes
[17:05] <pleia2> nhandler: if you can wait until 00:00 I'd like a quick run through of the new process
[17:15] <nhandler> pleia2: Yeah, I can wait. I might be out until 00:30 for dinner though.
[17:16] <pleia2> nhandler: that's fine, then I might run out at 00:00 for some errands real quick but we'll touch base sometime once we're both back
[17:17] <nhandler> Sounds good. Next week, I'll have just moved in to my new dorm, so I am not sure what my availability will be like
