Snicksiehiya :)17:36
pleia2are you familiar with the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter?17:36
Snicksiei guess so :p17:36
pleia2well here's the last issue: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue24217:36
pleia2essentially what we do at this point in the week (well, we like to do it on saturday!) is write all those summaries you see17:37
Snicksieokay :)17:37
pleia2so we have this google doc here that just has titles and links: https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfODlkODNxNnRnZA&hl=en17:37
pleia2what we need folks to do is visit the URL, read the article and then write 2-3 sentence description about what the article talks about17:38
pleia2try to be accurate, but perfection isn't required, they're all reviewed :)17:38
Snicksieokay, just 2-3 sentences shouldn't be too hard :)17:38
pleia2great, thank you!17:38
pleia2you can go through and just do ones that are interesting to you if you want, or pick a section, or whatever17:38
akgranerpleia2, yep - but I'll be back to back for 3 hours working on summaries when I finish my day (which is around noon your time)17:40
MrChrisDruifAhh, it was Thanksgiving-weekend right?17:41

pleia2I'll write an example one for the UDS Photo article17:43
akgranerpleia2, thank - I'll let you know when I jump in...17:43

pleia2I can do review later17:46

pleia2you will see an article title and a link, we need people to write the summary for said article18:25
MrChrisDruifpleia2; it does? =D18:26
MrChrisDruifMaybe you could share your experiences about it some day with me?18:26
pleia2MrChrisDruif: it's a higher end Samsung, it has a whole OS so it can do built-in netflix, hulu and more, runs an old redhat kernel and busybox, you can even view the GPL through the television interface :)18:27
MrChrisDruifgreg-g; if you summaries an article, add your name to the bottom of the file18:27

MrChrisDruifGreat, I'll have a more detailed look at that tv later.18:29
* greg-g did one!18:29
MrChrisDruifGreat, full-name or nickname at the bottom18:30

greg-gsweet, someone fixed the CC license statement oddity at the bottom of the issue18:32
pleia2yeah, I think we took your suggestion verbatim18:34
greg-gthat's always a good thing to do when it comes to CC licenses :P18:35
pleia2:)18:35
* greg-g isn't conceited, promise18:35
greg-gfor those playing at home: I work for Creative Commons :)18:36
pleia2that reminds me, we should talk about jobs in that space at some point (not specifically at CC, but tech and freedom-related)18:37
greg-gpleia2: sounds good18:39
MrChrisDruifSounds good indeed20:13
