holsteinhow official do you want that to be?15:27
holsteinim sure that would be appreciated by lots of folks15:27
JoseeAntonioRholstein: Well, I'd like to translate the issue one day before it's sent, so people can read it, both in en and es15:27
JoseeAntonioRAnd maybe create a mailing list for UWN-es15:27
holsteinnice15:28
JoseeAntonioRJust translating the news, the links should be in English though15:28
JoseeAntonioRholstein: ^15:29

pleia2I'm going to add a "Welcome New Members" section under "General Community News" to our template so we remember to add it along with stats and stuff17:52
pleia2JoseeAntonioR: unfortunately the newsletter isn't ready one day before release, we're still doing edits hours before release :(19:09
pleia2we've tried to work with translators before, but it simply doesn't work because of the time constraints19:09
pleia2instead we recommend finding news already written in your language and creating a newsletter of your own (the Italian team does this), or selecting just choice parts of our newsletter after we release to translate and share19:10
pleia2we used to email the ubuntu translations list when we released so they could work on it, but there hasn't been one done in years so we stopped emailing19:11
JoseeAntonioRpleia2: Hey! Are you here?21:35
pleia2JoseeAntonioR: yep21:37
JoseeAntonioRI just got here from school, wanted to talk about translations21:37
JoseeAntonioRBrb, urgent phone call21:37
pleia2I'm at work right now, but I'll reply as I can21:38
JoseeAntonioROk :)21:38
pleia2(I might get calls, etc while we talk, so if I drift off, that's why ;))21:39
JoseeAntonioRNo prob with that :)21:39
JoseeAntonioRWell, I see you've been having problems with translators, but I can do a simple thing21:41
JoseeAntonioRCheck every single day for changes, and if there are any, translate them21:41
JoseeAntonioRAnd the day before, I can check up to one hour before it's sent to translate it21:42
JoseeAntonioRSo, in that way, we can have both sent the same day, at the same time probably21:42
pleia2we can see how it goes, but we rarely even have all the summaries done a day before publishing21:43
pleia2and since we cover through Sunday and publish on Monday, we're even adding articles until Sunday 00:00 UTC21:43
JoseeAntonioRno prob with it, I can check even before it's sent to see if I miss something21:45
JoseeAntonioRwe can try it for the next issue, to see if it's suitable to continue21:45
pleia2ok :)21:45
JoseeAntonioRare there any mailing lists for UWN in Spanish?21:46
pleia2no21:46
pleia2I think in the past they were just sent to their language list or loco team21:46
pleia2if you find you can do it, you can either set up a launchpad team and use a list there, or put in a formal request with canonical IS for a lists.ubuntu.com mailing list, but I think it's a bit early for that21:47
JoseeAntonioRyep, let's just try for this week, and link to the Spanish version in the English one21:48
pleia2we can link to it at the bottom of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter21:48
JoseeAntonioRgreat21:49
JoseeAntonioRi'll start translating the summaries that are in the doc, should I use google docs?21:49
pleia2use whatever works well for you, there is no requirement21:50
pleia2you can use a wiki, or etherpad somewhere21:50
pleia2we just use google doc because it works well for us right now21:50
JoseeAntonioRhmm, ok, I'll create it and link it to you21:51
JoseeAntonioRat what time is it sent to suscribers?21:54
pleia2what time do we publish to the world?21:55
JoseeAntonioRyep :)21:55
pleia2we try to get it out some time on monday, lately it's been anywhere from 21:00 - 00:00 UTC21:56
JoseeAntonioRgreat :) the link to the doc I'm editing is http://bit.ly/w3jsHL, I have already started translating it21:57
pleia2ok, we haven't yet gone through and pulled out extra articles, so you'll have to have a look tomorrow morning and remove the ones that we aren't keeping21:57
pleia2(we're still just collecting links right now, we always collect too many and have to delete some)21:58
JoseeAntonioRok, no prob :)21:58
JoseeAntonioRi'll try to do my best on it21:58
JoseeAntonioRpleia2: Ok, it's 90% translated :)22:26
