| MrChrisDruif | I'm fine, you? | 21:39 |
| Silverlion | Tired as hell... customers care for foreign people (dutch in my case) is very exhausting | 21:40 |
| pleia2 | The new edition of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue255 | 22:16 |
| Silverlion | pleia2 u are doin' a hell of a job in this team ... just so you know | 22:17 |

| pleia2 | Silverlion: thanks | 22:17 |
| pleia2 | and thanks everyone :) | 22:17 |
| MrChrisDruif | Credits due where credits due: both akgraner and pleia2 have busted their asses off last year or so to keep UWN afloat!! | 22:21 |
| Silverlion | that is why ;) | 22:21 |
| Silverlion | maybe we should get akgraner do an interview ;) | 22:21 |
| bkerensa | akgraner should be interviewed... she is always interviewing everyone else ;p | 22:45 |
| Silverlion | ;) | 23:21 |
| Silverlion | bkerensa feel free ^^ | 23:21 |
| bkerensa | Silverlion: oh no... I'm too busy :P as things stand I had to cancel a trip to seattle since release party is next month and conflicts :( | 23:22 |
| * Silverlion is off now to get some rest | 23:26 | |
| Silverlion | luckily my schedule tells me to have two days off duty :D | 23:26 |
| Unit193 | Howdy, Froyo. | 23:27 |
| nlsthzn-work | It's a trap! | 23:27 |
| IWantFroyo | Hello there. | 23:27 |
| IWantFroyo | -.- | 23:27 |
| IWantFroyo | Anyways, I've been thinking of joining the group. | 23:27 |
| IWantFroyo | Anyone willing to provide a link to some information? | 23:28 |
| pleia2 | IWantFroyo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam has details for all the stuff we work on | 23:28 |
| * Silverlion would do so but needs to head for the bed | 23:28 | |
| pleia2 | and welcome :) | 23:29 |
| IWantFroyo | Thank you. Heading over. | 23:29 |
| nlsthzn-work | pleia2: how can new peeps be added to your weekly call to arms? | 23:30 |
| pleia2 | nlsthzn-work: details here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Join | 23:30 |
| pleia2 | they can email editor.ubuntu.news@ubuntu.com to request to be added | 23:30 |
| nlsthzn-work | oh sorry... should have gone and checked it myself I guess... (just something about wiki's that I don't like) :p | 23:31 |
| IWantFroyo | Do I need to email editor.ubuntu.news@ubuntu.com for an editor position? Or is that just for the publishers and writers? | 23:33 |
| shever | hi all...nlsthzn-work suggested that I pop over here and basically just rip off exactly what IWantFroyo has said :) | 23:33 |
| pleia2 | IWantFroyo: to be an editor you just hang out here and when the newsletter is ready we ask people in channel to review the newsletter :) | 23:33 |
| pleia2 | usually happens on Monday | 23:34 |
| shever | so, if you need a second pedantic proofreader, then I'm happy to add my name to the list. On UF my nick is "lechien73", but for some reason XChat chose my secondary nick when I logged on! | 23:34 |
| pleia2 | welcome shever | 23:34 |
| nlsthzn-work | with many eyes all grammer mistakes are shallow... | 23:35 |
| pleia2 | nlsthzn-work: grammar ;) | 23:35 |
| shever | pleia2 - beat me to it :P | 23:35 |
| nlsthzn-work | lol | 23:35 |
| nlsthzn-work | glad I hadn't said anything about spellinh | 23:35 |
| nlsthzn-work | >.< | 23:35 |
| IWantFroyo | ... | 23:35 |
| nlsthzn-work | *spelling | 23:35 |
| pleia2 | we only send emails out for summary writing, since those take a couple of days to write | 23:36 |
| pleia2 | editing usually happens in a window of just a few hours, so IRC works better than email | 23:36 |
| IWantFroyo | Anyways, I joined the mailing list and the launchpad group. It'll be a pleasure to work with you chaps. My UF account, so we can get to know each other better:http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1212450. | 23:37 |
| IWantFroyo | Do they note the times for working sessions in emails? | 23:37 |
| pleia2 | I'm not a chap, but thanks for coming to help out :) | 23:37 |
| pleia2 | IWantFroyo: the email includes a link to a document, it's done when all the summaries are completed | 23:37 |
| pleia2 | so there isn't really a time | 23:37 |
| pleia2 | it starts when the email is sent, ends when all the summaries have been written | 23:38 |
| IWantFroyo | Okay. | 23:38 |
| IWantFroyo | Well, I got to go right now, but I'll be back and at it after the next email. | 23:38 |
| IWantFroyo | Good night! | 23:38 |
| nlsthzn-work | bai IWantFroyo | 23:39 |
| pleia2 | hm, they haven't sent an email to get added to the list :\ | 23:39 |
| nlsthzn-work | lol... perhaps in time... | 23:40 |
| shever | I've just requested to join the launchpad group (Matt Rudge is the real name) | 23:40 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I'll ask them the next time they join | 23:40 |
| pleia2 | shever: thanks, we need to sort out the launchpad groups soon (we don't use them right now, lots of pending people) | 23:40 |
| shever | could you let me know how to join the mailing list, please? I think I joined a little late in the conversation for that. | 23:40 |
| pleia2 | shever: the news team does several things, you can learn about them here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam | 23:41 |
| shever | pleia2: great, thanks :) | 23:41 |
| pleia2 | link to the mailing list is there :) | 23:41 |
| pleia2 | the list I was talking about is different - a list of individuals we email each week when we're ready to get article summaries written | 23:41 |
| pleia2 | specifically for Ubuntu Weekly News (one of the three things the news team works on) | 23:42 |
| shever | ok...I recently was approved for membership based on forums contributions, and want to help out more | 23:43 |
| pleia2 | great :) | 23:44 |
| shever | since I mentioned to bodhi_zazen that my particular..."interests" :) were coding and proofreading, I was pointed to here as a starting point | 23:44 |
| shever | I've proofread technical manuals, and also the "ZX Spectrum Book" by Andrew Rollings, so if you want an irritatingly pedantic old git to look over anything then, I'm ashamed to say, I could well be your man! | 23:46 |
| pleia2 | well, as I said we do proof-reading of the newsletter here on Sunday night - Monday (for this week, I asked for reviews 22 hours ago and then again 6 hour sago) | 23:46 |
| pleia2 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue255 is the latest issue, we ask for proof-readers to make sure the summaries make sense and don't have any obvious errors | 23:47 |
| pleia2 | (this one is already released, so no more editing needed) | 23:48 |
| nlsthzn-work | ... because butchers of the english language like nlsthzn hacked on it ... :p | 23:48 |
| shever | Grand...first glance says that "reoccurring" (under 12.04 Development Update) isn't a word - it should be "recurring" ;) | 23:51 |
| shever | But I'll pop back on Sunday evenings for proofreading fun :D | 23:51 |
| Unit193 | I'm always the one saying something went wrong the day or so after. :P | 23:51 |
| pleia2 | shever: see, too late for that issue, but I hope to have your help for the next! | 23:52 |
| pleia2 | Unit193 :P | 23:52 |
| shever | pleia2: no problem...I'll be in and out throughout the week, and back here on Sunday | 23:52 |
| Unit193 | You didn't disagree, but I've actually helped better before. :P | 23:53 |
| pleia2 | great, thank you :) | 23:53 |
| shever | in the meantime, it's nearly midnight here...which is my cue to go to bed before Ubuntu gets cited in divorce papers ;) | 23:54 |
| pleia2 | hehe, have a good night! | 23:54 |
| shever | you too :D | 23:54 |
