[07:02] <dholbach> good morning
[07:02] <Myrtti> moin
[07:02] <Unit193> Howdy.
[18:13] <pleia2> welcome passstab!
[18:13] <pleia2> so, each week we release an issue of Ubuntu Weekly News: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter
[18:14] <pleia2> we always need summary writers on Saturday and Sunday, and editors on Sunday and Monday to review the newsletter
[18:14] <pleia2> some folks also open the google doc during the week to write summaries while we're still collecting links: http://bit.ly/vDkJyf
[18:15] <JoseeAntonioR> welcome to the team, passstab :)
[18:19] <pleia2> passstab: if you're interested in being emailed each weekend for summaries or editing, please let me know
[18:19] <pleia2> or you can just hang out here, we announce needs here too :)
[18:37] <passstab> so i'm adding anything ubuntu related to that document?
[18:38] <pleia2> you want to help with collecting articles?
[18:40] <pleia2> if so, yes, we collect ubuntu-related articles from around the internet published in the time frame specified for that week (this one is April 2-8) and add them to that document, on Friday night/Saturday morning an editor goes through and makes sure they are in the right categories and reviews the articles for usefulness, might remove some if there are too many
[18:41] <pleia2> they should be news related (not how-to documents or the like)
[18:44] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Join has details of all the UWN jobs :)
[18:57] <passstab> cool
[18:58] <passstab> that does look like the role for me
[18:59] <JoseeAntonioR> passstab: we're still collecting links for the next edition, if you have anything to add go for it
[19:38] <pleia2> ok, since ~ubuntu-news isn't tied to any code or access, I've opened the team up
[19:39] <pleia2> I added join info to ~uwn (that one does have code attached, it can't be open and we do need to review who joins)
[19:39] <pleia2> and ~ubuntu-fridge is staying the way it is :) moderated and instructions for successful joining are already on the page
[21:13] <SilverLion> someone from the news team available?
[21:16] <bkerensa> SilverLion: Hello
[21:16] <bkerensa> :D
[21:16] <SilverLion> bkerensa, great to have you ;)
[21:16] <SilverLion> PM incoming
[21:16] <bkerensa> k
 I'm hoping someone on the news team can make a decent write up for that :)
[21:16] <SilverLion> the second part depends from the first one i pmed you ;)
[21:44] <pleia2> ?
[21:44] <SilverLion> evening pleia2 ;)
[21:44] <pleia2> hello
[21:45] <bkerensa> pleia2: Lubuntu folks would like us to write up a blurb about when their QA team was founded sometime around release date if possible
[21:45] <pleia2> if the post it to the lubuntu blog it'll be picked up in UWN
[21:45] <pleia2> bkerensa: is this for dev team news?
[21:45] <bkerensa> pleia2: I think just general
[21:45] <bkerensa> they wanted it on the fridge
[21:46] <pleia2> ok, once they have the post on the lubuntu blog we can cross-post to fridge
[21:46] <pleia2> we'll have to review it to make sure it's of interest to the whole community, but I don't think that'll be a problem
[21:47] <pleia2> (QA isn't just about one team, afterall :))
[21:47] <bkerensa> pleia2: yeah thats what I suggested to SilverLion
[21:48] <pleia2> SilverLion: you're welcome to talk in here rather than PM, we're all friends and then we don't need to repeat discussions
[21:48] <pleia2> input from the whole team is good!
[21:48] <SilverLion> pleia2, will do next time ;)
[23:27] <akgraner> pleia2, thanks - your responses are awesome
[23:32] <SilverLion> morning akgraner
[23:32] <akgraner> SilverLion, morning
[23:35] <akgraner> pleia2, so what happened to the script when I ran it?
[23:36] <akgraner> Could you figure out what broke it?
[23:36] <pleia2> your computers is broken :)
[23:36] <akgraner> hehe
[23:36] <pleia2> I have no idea
[23:36] <akgraner> well I have a new one now
[23:37] <akgraner> I got a Sandy Bridge HEDT now :-)
[23:38] <akgraner> I better not break this one
[23:39] <akgraner> pleia2, want me to pull stats and updates on Sunday?
[23:39] <pleia2> akgraner: ah yes, that would be very helpful :)
[23:39] <akgraner> ok put me down for that then
[23:39] <pleia2> we got lucky this week, there were no April security or updates when I pulled them last week, so no need to check them against the last issue
[23:39] <akgraner> Pete is traveling soooo I'll have time :-(
[23:40] <pleia2> aww
[23:40] <akgraner> and my kids now have their own social schedules that don't include moms
[23:40] <pleia2> have we talked to the translations folks about our translation stats lately? they mean nothing to me and it seems odd that we're including 2 translation strings for AU and not for some other languages
[23:40] <akgraner> Damn teenagers :-)
[23:40] <pleia2> lol
[23:41] <akgraner> pleia2, not lately - I asked dpm in Brussels to see what we could do better there
[23:41] <pleia2> ok, I'll have a look at the script this weekend to see what it's actually doing and maybe give him another nudge
[23:42] <akgraner> I know it doesn't really mean a lot to many people - but not being one who translates anything (sadly) I am not sure how to do that better
[23:42] <pleia2> yeah
[23:43] <bkerensa> akgraner: that chip is named after a place in Oregon
[23:43] <bkerensa> ;)
[23:44] <bkerensa> Sandy Bridge/ Sandy River = Sandy, Oregon
[23:44] <akgraner> but I've know we needed to do something different for a while - I just didn't know what would be helpful - so if you can nudge him next week - as we go head into the 12.04 release maybe by the week of the 26th we can figure out a new system
[23:44] <akgraner> bkerensa,  yep
[23:45] <pleia2> sounds good
[23:45] <pleia2> thanks :)
[23:45] <bkerensa> they name a good portion of their chips these days after things related to Oregon... I have a relative who makes the wafers at Intel's R&D
[23:45] <akgraner> :-)
[23:45] <bkerensa> or DX1 as its known
[23:45] <bkerensa> :D
[23:55] <SilverLion> akgraner, thx very much for your work with our friend ;)
[23:56] <akgraner> thanks - I was just the messenger - but glad to help
[23:56] <JoseeAntonioR> SilverLion, akgraner: Thanks to you two :)
[23:57] <akgraner> JoseeAntonioR, I think this would be a great story - the perspective of UDS from your point of view and what your dad thinks.  Will you talk it over with him?
[23:57] <akgraner> I'd be happy to get you questions in advance
[23:58] <JoseeAntonioR> well, I always speak with him about it, he's pretty up to date
[23:58] <JoseeAntonioR> and by that you mean an interview?
[23:59] <akgraner> JoseeAntonioR, yep
