[08:04] <dholbach> good morning
[08:20] <bkerensa> dholbach: https://secure.flickr.com/photos/bkerensa/6986715363/in/photostream/ <-- my dinner :D
[08:20] <dholbach> that looks good :)
[08:21] <bkerensa> dholbach: The rum & cokes and Heinekens that accompanied made it perfect :P
[08:21] <dholbach> coke?
[08:21] <bkerensa> dholbach: Coca-Cola?
[08:21] <bkerensa> :D
[08:21] <dholbach> :-P
[08:30] <bkerensa> dholbach: I learned a major company is getting ready to move all of their servers from Debian to Ubuntu LTS
[08:30] <bkerensa> :D
[08:30] <bkerensa> 12.04 LTS even
[08:30] <dholbach> nice :)
[08:30] <bkerensa> they apparently hired someone from Canonical recently to help them in this process :p
[08:32] <dholbach> don't you wonder where bkerensa always gets his first hand information from :)
[08:32] <bkerensa> dholbach: Why over a beer and the fine sushi above ^
[08:32] <bkerensa> :D
[08:32] <dholbach> :)
[08:32] <bkerensa> with two VP's and a Co-Founder :P
[15:23] <JoseeAntonioR> Someone from the UWN team here?
[15:23] <holstein> JoseeAntonioR: whats up? .. i might have an answer
[15:24]  * nlsthzn lurks in the shadows
[15:26] <JoseeAntonioR> holstein: I'd like to know if I can translate the issues to Spanish
[15:27] <holstein> well, sure... you can physically do whatever you like with it
[15:27] <holstein> how official do you want that to be?
[15:27] <holstein> im sure that would be appreciated by lots of folks
[15:27] <JoseeAntonioR> holstein: Well, I'd like to translate the issue one day before it's sent, so people can read it, both in en and es
[15:27] <JoseeAntonioR> And maybe create a mailing list for UWN-es
[15:28] <holstein> nice
[15:28] <JoseeAntonioR> Just translating the news, the links should be in English though
[15:29] <JoseeAntonioR> holstein: ^
[15:30] <holstein> i mean... theres nothing keeping you from doing that
[15:30] <JoseeAntonioR> I got to got, I should be back in a few hours.
[15:30] <holstein> not sure where to go to find out how official that can be, though i cant imagine there being an issue since you are proposing doing the work
[15:30] <holstein> OK.. just check back here, and  we'll find who to go to :)
[15:31] <JoseeAntonioR> I'll check later, so I can make it as official as possible
[15:31] <JoseeAntonioR> Thank you!
[16:03] <bkerensa> JoseeAntonioR: You can send your request to ubuntu-news-team@lists.ubuntu.com
[17:52] <pleia2> I'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 stuff
[19:09] <pleia2> JoseeAntonioR: unfortunately the newsletter isn't ready one day before release, we're still doing edits hours before release :(
[19:09] <pleia2> we've tried to work with translators before, but it simply doesn't work because of the time constraints
[19:10] <pleia2> instead 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 share
[19:11] <pleia2> we 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 emailing
[21:35] <JoseeAntonioR> pleia2: Hey! Are you here?
[21:37] <pleia2> JoseeAntonioR: yep
[21:37] <JoseeAntonioR> I just got here from school, wanted to talk about translations
[21:37] <JoseeAntonioR> Brb, urgent phone call
[21:38] <pleia2> I'm at work right now, but I'll reply as I can
[21:38] <JoseeAntonioR> Ok :)
[21:39] <pleia2> (I might get calls, etc while we talk, so if I drift off, that's why ;))
[21:39] <JoseeAntonioR> No prob with that :)
[21:41] <JoseeAntonioR> Well, I see you've been having problems with translators, but I can do a simple thing
[21:41] <JoseeAntonioR> Check every single day for changes, and if there are any, translate them
[21:42] <JoseeAntonioR> And the day before, I can check up to one hour before it's sent to translate it
[21:42] <JoseeAntonioR> So, in that way, we can have both sent the same day, at the same time probably
[21:43] <pleia2> we can see how it goes, but we rarely even have all the summaries done a day before publishing
[21:43] <pleia2> and since we cover through Sunday and publish on Monday, we're even adding articles until Sunday 00:00 UTC
[21:45] <JoseeAntonioR> no prob with it, I can check even before it's sent to see if I miss something
[21:45] <JoseeAntonioR> we can try it for the next issue, to see if it's suitable to continue
[21:45] <pleia2> ok :)
[21:46] <JoseeAntonioR> are there any mailing lists for UWN in Spanish?
[21:46] <pleia2> no
[21:46] <pleia2> I think in the past they were just sent to their language list or loco team
[21:47] <pleia2> if 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 that
[21:48] <JoseeAntonioR> yep, let's just try for this week, and link to the Spanish version in the English one
[21:48] <pleia2> we can link to it at the bottom of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter
[21:49] <JoseeAntonioR> great
[21:49] <JoseeAntonioR> i'll start translating the summaries that are in the doc, should I use google docs?
[21:50] <pleia2> use whatever works well for you, there is no requirement
[21:50] <pleia2> you can use a wiki, or etherpad somewhere
[21:50] <pleia2> we just use google doc because it works well for us right now
[21:51] <JoseeAntonioR> hmm, ok, I'll create it and link it to you
[21:54] <JoseeAntonioR> at what time is it sent to suscribers?
[21:55] <pleia2> what time do we publish to the world?
[21:55] <JoseeAntonioR> yep :)
[21:56] <pleia2> we try to get it out some time on monday, lately it's been anywhere from 21:00 - 00:00 UTC
[21:57] <JoseeAntonioR> great :) the link to the doc I'm editing is http://bit.ly/w3jsHL, I have already started translating it
[21:57] <pleia2> ok, 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 keeping
[21:58] <pleia2> (we're still just collecting links right now, we always collect too many and have to delete some)
[21:58] <JoseeAntonioR> ok, no prob :)
[21:58] <JoseeAntonioR> i'll try to do my best on it
[22:26] <JoseeAntonioR> pleia2: Ok, it's 90% translated :)
