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

[21:45] 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] :D [21:45] congrats [21:46] 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] :D [21:46] nice [21:48] pleia2: you got a pm with a link ^^ go to picture 5/12 [21:48] there you will find me ^^ [21:49] yay!

[21:52] bkerensa: i took over the task to promote the re-build of ubuntu-youth in ubuntu media [21:52] and i want you in ^^ [21:52] Ahh yeah if I see it I can write something up on OMG [21:52] I read the entire planet almost everyday [21:52] :D [21:58] and another victory [21:59] i have launched a story about a little girl who playes table-tennis in a male team [21:59] and it became title picture and head story of the magazine! [22:13] nice :) [22:24] I'm co-maintaining a debian package :P [23:32] yay :) [23:33] pleia2: you seem to be happy ^^ mind to ask you local time? [23:34] Sat Feb 25 15:34:04 PST 2012 [23:34] so I am kinda 9 hrs in the future of you ^^ [23:35] Bummer that ctcp's are considered rude. :/ [23:36] how can i display my local time for you? [23:36] I'm using irssi, so I used /exec -o date [23:37] that command doesnt work on webchat [23:38] I don't know, sorry [23:38] you can run "date" in a terminal and paste it here ;) [23:38] i am on windows ^^ my employer rejects to install linux at all [23:39] ah [23:39] I think it's date -R that I bind. [23:39] Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:39:16 -0500 [23:39] date -R [23:39] ??? [23:46] 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] pleia2: i only have windows cmd line [23:49] I know, I was just explaining the command :)
