pleia2bkerensa: congrats on the bug finding ;)04:03
pleia2akgraner: still around this evening? I can write the dozen or so summaries left and release, but I'd rather not do that all myself editorial-wise04:03
bkerensapleia2: You work too hard04:13
bkerensa:P04:13
pleia2I played all day :)04:14
bkerensapleia2: I see the zoo photos nice... I added two more summaries and will *try* to pop back in in about 10 mins and do more if my fiancee allows me04:18
bkerensa:D04:18
pleia2thank you :)04:20
pleia2and the zoo was awesome!04:21
pleia2sf zoo doesn't have elephants04:21
pleia2I wrote the last launchpad summary we needed and am working my way up from the bottom04:30
pleia2just two more left, I'm going to start moving stuff over if someone has time to jump in before I finish that'd be great :)04:46
* pleia2 finishes up04:57
* Unit193 finds 3 more things to add.04:58
pleia2:P04:58
Unit193Couldn't help it. I thought in joke about having a "Bad headlines". "Poor articles" or something like that section. :P04:58
pleia2Unit193: can you help me with editorial review? :)05:00
pleia2(this is what you get for talking)05:00
pleia2just read through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue253 and point out glaring errors05:01
Unit193Yeah.... Figured I'd get flack for talking out of line.05:01
Unit193Date.05:01
pleia2doesn't matter what you said ;)05:02
pleia2the date is correct05:02
pleia2we cover news on those dates, release date is different05:02
* pleia2 didn't write 2011 this time \o/05:03
Unit193Deadlink https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompizConfig05:03
Unit193Or, right, sorry.05:04
pleia2it's just CamelCase, fixing...05:04
pleia2oops, dev meetings are all squished together05:05
pleia2ok, I think I got all the camels05:05
pleia2(I saw camels today! http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/6912344111)05:06
Unit193Weird to have links directly next to each other as in Cprofitt05:08
pleia2thanks, fixed05:09
pleia2launchpad had that issue too, fixed05:09
pleia2needed an extra newline so they weren't squished together05:09
Unit193"shortlist"?05:11
pleia2should it be "short list"?05:12
pleia2yeah05:12
Unit193And there is no summery for "Shuttleworth remixes Ubuntu... for biz users"05:14
pleia2oh yeah, I wanted to delete that one05:14
pleia2(duplicate subject matter)05:14
Unit193One below that too, link.05:15
pleia2hm, which?05:15
pleia2maybe refresh, I added the summary for top distros last05:15
Unit193https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LinuxQuestions05:16
pleia2yeah, I fixed that camel case too05:16
Unit193(It had been refreshing for the last minute or so, tried again)05:16
pleia2ah, broken thing05:16
Unit193"Chris7mas"? Heh.05:17
Unit193(I did note that it's right)05:18
pleia2heh, yeah05:18
pleia2I made a 10 second effort to find out if they had a real name in their profile ;)05:18
pleia2nope. using nym05:18
Unit193"Other Articles of Interest" Another link.05:19
pleia2ah, good catch05:19
Unit193"See here for the team report for June 2011"05:21
pleia2aha!05:21
pleia2I should fix that in the template to say MONTH YEAR so it's not so sneaky05:22
Unit193Wouldn't it be better to put the calendar directly to the link?05:22
Unit193"...calendars at fridge.ubuntu.com: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendars/" can be kinda funny. :P05:22
Unit193But your choice.05:22
pleia2probably, but I'll let it go this time05:23
Unit193Just pointing at what I see. Done.05:24
pleia2thank you!05:24
Unit193Sure, but I thought you knew better then to pick me. ;)05:25
pleia2you were was very helpful, I wouldn't have been able to release tonight without a reviewer :)05:27
Unit193Well, glad I could help a little!05:27

akgranerThanks everyone - all plans to help last night shot to heck with a kid and then work issue.../me is sorry16:35
Unit193akgraner: Hope it went well, and it's ok, she grabbed me.16:52
akgranerThank you!16:53
Unit193Yeppers, wasn't the harder part either.16:54
pleia2bkerensa: a lot of the /community pages need updating :( you can check out their tagging system to mark a page as outdated or whatever and in need of review: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tag17:07
Unit193Aye, *quite* a few are outdated.17:07
pleia2hm, I guess they don't have an "update content" tag17:09
pleia2so I'm thinking we may need to reduce the number of summaries we do17:10
pleia2in UWN17:10
akgraner+1 pleia217:10
akgranerwe used to have a "rule" a couple years ago about summaries - no more than 6 in GCN and keep the other sections to 4 or less17:11
akgranerthe only exception was planet - and then we always tried to see if they could fit into other sections17:11
pleia2articles, or summaries?17:11
akgranersummaries17:12
pleia2so would other articles just have title and link?17:12
akgraneryep17:12
pleia2ok, I think we should see about going down that path then17:12
akgranerand that's where we put all the extra stuff we wanted to include but made UWN too big17:13
pleia2we have a lot of people who have signed up for writing summaries but only a fraction participate and even they can usually only do 1 or 2 each17:13
akgranerwhen we had 2 or 3 people per section who were reliable it was easy not not so easy17:13
pleia2it's not sustainable, I'm getting tired17:13
akgranerpleia2, I understand17:13
akgraners/not/now17:14
akgranerso basically we'd dump all the articles we liked in then cull them (which is why we had the clause about understanding that your summary may not be included) line17:15
* pleia2 nods17:15
Unit193pleia2: At least I'm living up to my commitments, no? ;)17:15
akgranerpleia2, +1  on the size decreasing.  I'll see what I can do on Fridays, b/c weekends and Mondays are crazy for me...17:16
pleia2Unit193: careful, I might start having expectations!17:19
akgraner:-)17:35
Unit193...Expectations? How bad...17:36
akgranermuahahaha17:37
bkerensaakgraner: Thanks for the Kernel Team responses :)23:11
akgranerbkerensa, you're welcome23:11
