| pleia2 | almost done with the massive wiki overhaul of 2012 \o/ | 07:25 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fridge are completely done | 07:25 |
| pleia2 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter is almost done, I just need tediously update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/EditingPolicies/HowToEdit | 07:26 |
| === Pendulum_ is now known as Pendulum | ||
| akgraner | pleia2, thank you - sorry about that - I wanted to include as many steps as possible when I wrote it...:-/ | 13:41 |
| pleia2 | akgraner: oh no, it's great! just needs to be updated since things changed a bit since it was written :) | 16:32 |
| akgraner | :-) glad it helps...I'm working on my session notes for my class in 30 mins now :-) | 16:34 |
| pleia2 | \o/ | 16:36 |
| pleia2 | ok, sent out the summary writers email | 17:12 |
| pleia2 | it's that time of the week again! we need summaries: http://bit.ly/vDkJyf :) | 17:12 |
| pleia2 | akgraner: you just /msg classbot !q | 18:01 |
| pleia2 | if you like the question, you /msg classbot !y | 18:01 |
| pleia2 | if you don't like the question, /msg classbot !n | 18:02 |
| akgraner | k | 18:06 |
| akgraner | thanks | 18:06 |
| Myrtti | oh darnit, the classroom :-| | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | haha, oops, I hit the wrong channel | 18:25 |
| akgraner | pleia2, so did I as you saw :-) | 18:26 |
| pleia2 | irc is hard | 18:26 |
| pleia2 | heheh | 18:26 |
| akgraner | hehe :-) | 18:27 |
| akgraner | pleia2, how are we on summaries? | 18:30 |
| pleia2 | I wrote a bunch this week when I was in a waiting room | 18:30 |
| pleia2 | but planet and below needs some love | 18:30 |
| akgraner | ahh ok - I've got some time so I'll look at them - sorry about last week | 18:31 |
| pleia2 | no problem, life happens :) | 18:31 |
| akgraner | In case I don't tell you enough - thanks for stepping up and being a driving force for UWN! :-) | 18:31 |
| akgraner | I think we have some awesome team members who in a short time will be able to take the reins :-) | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | now I just need to figure out how to for real get more people working on this | 18:32 |
| akgraner | yeah me too - I've been trying for what 3 years | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | going to show bkerensa the publishing procedure on monday | 18:32 |
| akgraner | pleia2, awesome! | 18:32 |
| akgraner | It's easier now than when I learned | 18:33 |
| pleia2 | oh, and I think we should stop emailing the translations list | 18:33 |
| akgraner | yeah - I don't think they do anything with it | 18:33 |
| pleia2 | I updated the UWN wiki to say: "Rather than translating summaries for English articles, we now suggest you work with a team in your local language to find articles and release your own newsletter." | 18:33 |
| akgraner | yep that was the goal and only have the GCN and stats used etc | 18:34 |
| pleia2 | I'll touch base with the -it team to get a link to theirs (I don't know how often they release, but I know they do something we can link to) | 18:34 |
| akgraner | yeah that's the other thing I don't know - I used to have it up to date but it's not anymore all the versions of who was producing Ubuntu News Locally | 18:34 |
| pleia2 | we should also get the teams sorted out soon, I'm still not part of ~uwn so I need nhandler to review any script changes since he is a member, not optimal :) | 18:34 |
| akgraner | even if they didn't all it UWN | 18:34 |
| akgraner | it's nice to have the links | 18:34 |
| akgraner | Maybe dpm can get that for us? | 18:35 |
| pleia2 | yeah, looks like anyone on the canonical community team will be able to transfer ownership | 18:35 |
| akgraner | hmm - yeah let's just set up a leadership team and have them transfer ownership to that | 18:37 |
| pleia2 | oh, we should link dholbach's dev news to the NewsTeam wiki too | 18:37 |
| akgraner | so it's not one person - I think during the -q cycle we should change up the LP teams and clean all that up | 18:38 |
| akgraner | it's a mess | 18:38 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 18:38 |
| pleia2 | ~ubuntu-news-leadership ? -eic ? | 18:39 |
| akgraner | link to it on UWN or the Fridge or both? | 18:39 |
| pleia2 | I was thinking link it on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam | 18:39 |
| pleia2 | as a third thing the news team does | 18:39 |
| akgraner | that will work | 18:39 |
| akgraner | sorry mind wasn't on wikis | 18:40 |
| akgraner | yep - I like the dev news it's a great service | 18:40 |
| akgraner | ubuntu-news-leadership seems long but it's not confusing and it's clear as to what it is | 18:41 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 18:42 |
| akgraner | which I think is important - and between now and 12.10 release we can figure out a structure | 18:42 |
| akgraner | so people can clearly see the progression etc | 18:42 |
| pleia2 | ok, let's just go with ubuntu-news-leadership | 18:42 |
| pleia2 | I'll add myself, you, and dholbach for now | 18:42 |
| pleia2 | we can remove you later ;) | 18:42 |
| akgraner | I think that is part of the problem everything is so vague right now | 18:42 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 18:42 |
| akgraner | works for me | 18:42 |
| akgraner | it used to be we have specific people who were responsible for the various sections and if someone didn't do it we knew who to contact | 18:43 |
| akgraner | and people felt like that had ownership and a stake in the final product | 18:43 |
| akgraner | s/that/they | 18:44 |
| * pleia2 nods | 18:44 | |
| pleia2 | did that work well? | 18:44 |
| akgraner | I think it's important to empower people and give them a stake in it , as well as the responsibility and accountability for it. | 18:45 |
| akgraner | it did - but when we moved it to the open people hated the criticism they often got in the channel | 18:45 |
| pleia2 | ah :( | 18:45 |
| akgraner | so I started being top cover and had people address issues with me | 18:46 |
| * pleia2 nods | 18:46 | |
| akgraner | which was fine, but then well you know the fire etc | 18:46 |
| akgraner | and well - things went south | 18:46 |
| akgraner | so it's time to get it all back in place - and the leadership team can be top cover and not just one person | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | ok, emailing dholbach (cc you and dpm) about moving things over to the new leadership team | 18:47 |
| akgraner | The cool thing was people learned styles to write for other publications - and I would recommend people for things etc | 18:48 |
| akgraner | so by helping here they could 1) help with the project, 2) build sustained contribution 3) real world skills | 18:49 |
| akgraner | pleia2, thanks! | 18:49 |
| * pleia2 nods | 18:51 | |
| pleia2 | ok, email is off, off to the gym now before I give myself something else to do ;) | 18:53 |
| pleia2 | have a good one! | 18:53 |

| Silverlion | pleia2: you seem to be happy ^^ mind to ask you local time? | 23:33 |
| pleia2 | Sat Feb 25 15:34:04 PST 2012 | 23:34 |
| Silverlion | so I am kinda 9 hrs in the future of you ^^ | 23:34 |
| Unit193 | Bummer that ctcp's are considered rude. :/ | 23:35 |
| Silverlion | how can i display my local time for you? | 23:36 |
| pleia2 | I'm using irssi, so I used /exec -o date | 23:36 |
| Silverlion | that command doesnt work on webchat | 23:37 |
| pleia2 | I don't know, sorry | 23:38 |
| pleia2 | you can run "date" in a terminal and paste it here ;) | 23:38 |
| Silverlion | i am on windows ^^ my employer rejects to install linux at all | 23:38 |
| pleia2 | ah | 23:39 |
| Unit193 | I think it's date -R that I bind. | 23:39 |
| Unit193 | Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:39:16 -0500 | 23:39 |
| Silverlion | date -R | 23:39 |
| Silverlion | ??? | 23:39 |
| pleia2 | Silverlion: that's the command he puts in the terminal -R changes the output format (notice it's a slightly different format than mine) | 23:46 |
| Silverlion | pleia2: i only have windows cmd line | 23:48 |
| pleia2 | I know, I was just explaining the command :) | 23:49 |
