[07:25] <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
[07:26] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter is almost done, I just need tediously update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/EditingPolicies/HowToEdit
[13:41] <akgraner> pleia2, thank you - sorry about that - I wanted to include as many steps as possible when I wrote it...:-/
[16:32] <pleia2> akgraner: oh no, it's great! just needs to be updated since things changed a bit since it was written :)
[16:34] <akgraner> :-) glad it helps...I'm working on my session notes for my class in 30 mins now :-)
[16:36] <pleia2> \o/
[17:12] <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 :)
[18:01] <pleia2> akgraner: you just /msg classbot !q
[18:01] <pleia2> if you like the question, you /msg classbot !y
[18:02] <pleia2> if you don't like the question, /msg classbot !n
[18:06] <akgraner> k
[18:06] <akgraner> thanks
[18:25] <Myrtti> oh darnit, the classroom :-|
[18:25] <pleia2> haha, oops, I hit the wrong channel
[18:26] <akgraner> pleia2, so did I as you saw :-)
[18:26] <pleia2> irc is hard
[18:26] <pleia2> heheh
[18:27] <akgraner> hehe :-)
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <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! :-)
[18:32] <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!
[18:33] <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."
[18:34] <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
[18:35] <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
[18:37] <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
[18:38] <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
[18:39] <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
[18:40] <akgraner> sorry mind wasn't on wikis
[18:40] <akgraner> yep - I like the dev news it's a great service
[18:41] <akgraner> ubuntu-news-leadership seems long but it's not confusing and it's clear as to what it is
[18:42] <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
[18:43] <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
[18:44] <akgraner> s/that/they
[18:44]  * pleia2 nods
[18:44] <pleia2> did that work well?
[18:45] <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 :(
[18:46] <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
[18:47] <pleia2> ok, emailing dholbach (cc you and dpm) about moving things over to the new leadership team
[18:48] <akgraner> The cool thing was people learned styles to write for other publications - and I would recommend people for things etc
[18:49] <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!
[18:51]  * pleia2 nods
[18:53] <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!

[21:40] <Silverlion> pleia2: thx and bkerensa could too?
[21:40] <Silverlion> on his news site?
[21:41] <pleia2> you'd have to ask him :)
[21:41] <Silverlion> that was a kind of question in his direction ;)
[21:41] <Silverlion> that's why i highlighted him
[21:42]  * Silverlion had a live interview on national radio earlier today :D *happy*
[21:43] <pleia2> cool, what about?
[21:45] <Silverlion> there was a radio host in our city to promote an action to win a concert with Rea Garvey ;) he did a terrible mistake which made me kinda "freak out" and so he took the time to do an interview and invited me to ask all kind of questions ^^ he wanted me to proove that i could be a journalist too ^^
[21:45] <pleia2> :D
[21:45] <pleia2> congrats
[21:46] <Silverlion> we did like 20 Mins of talking and when i got home i had mail saying that it would be broadcasted on national radio
[21:46] <Silverlion> :D

[21:49] <pleia2> yay!
[21:50] <Silverlion> ;)
[21:50] <Silverlion> and all this coming from an overnight-duty on my job (where i am currently ... again)
[21:51] <bkerensa> Silverlion: Hmm?
[21:52] <Silverlion> bkerensa: i took over the task to promote the re-build of ubuntu-youth in ubuntu media
[21:52] <Silverlion> and i want you in ^^
[21:52] <bkerensa> Ahh yeah if I see it I can write something up on OMG
[21:52] <bkerensa> I read the entire planet almost everyday
[21:52] <bkerensa> :D
[21:58] <Silverlion> and another victory
[21:59] <Silverlion> i have launched a story about a little girl who playes table-tennis in a male team
[21:59] <Silverlion> and it became title picture and head story of the magazine!
[22:13] <pleia2> nice :)
[22:24] <bkerensa> I'm co-maintaining a debian package :P
[23:32] <pleia2> yay :)
[23:33] <Silverlion> pleia2: you seem to be happy ^^ mind to ask you local time?
[23:34] <pleia2> Sat Feb 25 15:34:04 PST 2012
[23:34] <Silverlion> so I am kinda 9 hrs in the future of you ^^
[23:35] <Unit193> Bummer that ctcp's are considered rude. :/
[23:36] <Silverlion> how can i display my local time for you?
[23:36] <pleia2> I'm using irssi, so I used /exec -o date
[23:37] <Silverlion> that command doesnt work on webchat
[23:38] <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
[23:39] <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> ???
[23:46] <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)
[23:48] <Silverlion> pleia2: i only have windows cmd line
[23:49] <pleia2> I know, I was just explaining the command :)
