[04:18] <JoseeAntonioR> wow, this week we have LOTS of news
[04:21] <pleia2> yeah
[04:21] <pleia2> it gets that way around release time
[04:22] <pleia2> I moved over a couple completed sections, but we have about 15 article we still need summaries on
[04:23] <JoseeAntonioR> basically, half of it is done
[04:23] <JoseeAntonioR> I'll see if I can write something
[04:23] <pleia2> thanks :)
[04:24] <pleia2> I copied over team meetings and added a link to the March 2012 team report too
[04:26] <JoseeAntonioR> great - would you like me to translate that bit of Spanish that is in the LoCo news?
[04:30] <pleia2> yeah, go for it
[04:31] <pleia2> ok, heading out to dinner
[04:32] <JoseeAntonioR> done :)
[04:32] <JoseeAntonioR> have a good evening! :)
[08:08] <Silverlion> mornin' from germany
[16:58] <pleia2> good morning news friends
[16:58] <pleia2> anyone around to write summaries? :)
[17:01] <JoseeAntonioR> pleia2: I think benonsoftware had some in his HDD, but he's at school right now
[17:01] <pleia2> doh
[17:01] <JoseeAntonioR> sorry, he's sleeping :P
[18:37] <pleia2> hey cprofitt
[18:37] <Unit193> Howdy, pleia2.
[18:38] <pleia2> Unit193: you should be our editor this week!
[18:38] <Unit193> Hah.
[18:39] <pleia2> you just read through the wiki and fix our grammar
[18:42] <Unit193> Have I done that before, and do you have anyone else that can? (Making sure I'm your last person. :P )
[18:44] <pleia2> well, we haven't finished summaries yet
[18:53] <pleia2> still need 10 summaries, I'm thinking we may just need to bulletpoint those this week because we don't have enough volunteers
[18:55] <JanC> pleia2: exactly what do you need?  ;)
[18:58] <pleia2> people to write 1-3 sentence summaries for the remaining articles on http://bit.ly/vDkJyf
[18:58] <pleia2> and welcome JanC :)
[19:00] <JanC> sigh, google docs  :P
[19:01] <pleia2> you don't need to sign in
[19:02] <JanC> I need to temporarily allow JS & other stuff though  :P
[19:02] <pleia2> ah, yeah, that's the case for any collaboritive software I'm afraid :(
[19:02] <JanC> anyway, what exactly is needed?
[19:03] <pleia2> so you'll open the doc and see something like:
[19:03] <pleia2> [19:03] <pleia2> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1204_kvmhist&num=1
[19:03] <JanC> pleia2: we used SVN 10 years ago in a non-technical non-profit  :P
[19:03] <pleia2> between those two lines, we need a summary
[19:03] <JanC> ah, okay
[19:03] <pleia2> svn is not real time collaboration, we need that for this because we have people coming in all weekend to work on it
[19:04] <pleia2> and not all of them are on IRC
[19:04] <JanC> we were on a ML mostly
[19:04] <pleia2> yeah, we've got people scattered
[19:05] <JanC> anyway, let's see what i can do   ;)
[19:05] <pleia2> some on irc here, some on irc elsewhere (dragged in some volunteers from another network too), some on -news-team list, some I just email on saturday morning to remind them it's available
[19:05] <pleia2> thanks :)
[19:05] <JoseeAntonioR> welcome to the team, JanC  :)
[19:06] <pleia2> you can look at a past issue if you want some idea of how we word things: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue260
[19:06] <pleia2> and if you do write any, make sure you add your name to the list of contributors at the bottom ;)
[19:06] <pleia2> JoseeAntonioR: I moved over a couple other sections, I'll work on the stats now
[19:06] <JoseeAntonioR> great, I'll start translations right away
[19:07] <Unit193> And I'm not typically a helper, just something to laugh at.
[19:11] <JanC> pleia2: it's hard to get a good description of that phoronix article  ;)
[19:13] <pleia2> JanC: a tip with phoronix is at the end of their articles they tend to write their own summaries, so if they did that I tend to draw summary writing inspiration from that
[19:14] <JanC> pleia2: except they are frequently wrong/inaccurate?  :-/
[19:14] <JanC> I guess I should try to summarize other articles...
[19:15] <pleia2> unfortunately we don't have the resources to fact check to the extent of running our own benchmarks
[19:15] <pleia2> we write the summaries like "Phoronix reports..."
[19:15] <pleia2> not "Here are the official benchmarks"
[19:15] <JoseeAntonioR> I have to go for lunch, and then for a meeting. I'll continue when I'm back
[19:16] <pleia2> JoseeAntonioR: enjoy!
[19:16] <Unit193> Though, I sure do trust theirs more than many others.  Also, if you need me, about when would that be?
[19:18] <pleia2> Unit193: this evening and tomorrow morning
[19:18] <Unit193> Coolio.
[19:25] <JanC> Unit193: I'm sure phoronix tests are accurate for what they test (if you know all test parameters), but what they test is a quite artificial subset of what matters...   ;)
[19:30] <Unit193> Aye, I find liquorix kernel to be faster for what I do, but I figure how they compared Xfce/LXDE/Openbox/KDE/Unity/etc and Lubuntu/Xubuntu/Kubuntu/Ubuntu to be helpful. Two different uses.
[21:04] <MrChrisDruif> pleia2; xubuntu didn't have a meeting this week right?
