* SilverLion is working in RL02:31
pleia2bkerensa: if you have a moment, could you pop into the google doc and write a quick summary for the dev update this week? http://bit.ly/vDkJyf02:48
pleia2beyond that we really just need summaries for the Cloud and LoCo sections :)02:50
SilverLionpleia2: would help if i had the possibility ;)02:54

bkerensacheers04:37
pleia2thanks bkerensa :)16:18
pleia2copying over sections now, then we'll need some editors17:57
pleia2ok, we need editors: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue25618:10
pleia2akgraner will be adding Ubuntu Stats later so no need to look at those sections just yet, mostly need editing of content for summaries and general stuff :)18:10
sheverHi all...thanks for the reminder pleia2 :)18:15
pleia2sure! welcome back :)18:16
sheverI'm taking a read through UWN now...what's the best way of proposing edits? Making them myself, or suggesting them here?18:17
pleia2you can make them yourself, just mention here that you're editing the doc so we don't have conflicts18:17
sheverOk, then I'm just about to make a couple of grammar changes to the Ubuntu User Survey section :)18:18
pleia2(the wiki is supposed to warn when someone else is editing, but we haven't found it to be actually that reliable)18:18
=== jalcine is now known as webjadmin_
pleia2shever: oh, and please do add your name to the Credits at the bottom of the doc :)18:25
sheverOk, thanks :) changes made to Ubuntu User Survey, ...for human beings, and a minor edit (enclosed in []) to Jono Bacon's comment18:26
pleia2great18:27
* nlsthzn had yet another distro meltdown (several)...18:27
nlsthznremember kids, beta software isn't your friend18:27
pleia2lol18:28
=== webjadmin_ is now known as jalcine
sheverTrying to re-work this sentence in the "Ubuntu is changing lives in Zambia" section: "Adam Oxford of Tech Radar does an in-depth report of work being done by several organizations in Zambia using open source software to increase communication through broader availability of Internet access and computer labs, computer training and other services to their developing communities."18:42
pleia2feel free to hack away at it, it does seem to have gotten a bit unweildy (and I'll admit to having written it :))18:42
sheverOk...thanks! "Unwieldy" was the word I'd thought of too...I think it's just the "to the developing communities" bit...which I think should be in there, I'm just not sure where!18:43
sheverNo offense :D18:43
pleia2none taken, we really appreciate this review18:44
sheverJust wondering if there's a lockdown time, where no more changes are permitted?18:54
pleia2I'd say 00:00 UTC18:55
pleia2it's 19:00 now18:55
pleia2ish18:55
pleia2so 5 hours from now18:56
sheverDublin time is the same, so that's no problem :)18:56
pleia2:)18:57
sheverI've read through a couple of times, and made some edits. I'll leave it for an hour or so now to let other people correct the mistakes that I undoubtedly introduced :D19:01
* jalcine waits :)19:03
pleia2shever: you rock, thank you!19:06
sheverYou're welcome :) it's handy to find a use for a cranky pedant!19:25
sheverA couple more minor edits made ("has" changed to "as", "if" to "of" and so forth)20:40
sheverI'm now going to re-seal my shower so that I can stop smelling like a landfill site tomorrow :D20:40
