[04:18] wow, this week we have LOTS of news [04:21] yeah [04:21] it gets that way around release time [04:22] I moved over a couple completed sections, but we have about 15 article we still need summaries on [04:23] basically, half of it is done [04:23] I'll see if I can write something [04:23] thanks :) [04:24] I copied over team meetings and added a link to the March 2012 team report too [04:26] great - would you like me to translate that bit of Spanish that is in the LoCo news? [04:30] yeah, go for it [04:31] ok, heading out to dinner [04:32] done :) [04:32] have a good evening! :) [08:08] mornin' from germany === JoseeAntonioR is now known as Guest65438 === Guest65438 is now known as JoseeAntonioR [16:58] good morning news friends [16:58] anyone around to write summaries? :) [17:01] pleia2: I think benonsoftware had some in his HDD, but he's at school right now [17:01] doh [17:01] sorry, he's sleeping :P [18:37] hey cprofitt [18:37] Howdy, pleia2. [18:38] Unit193: you should be our editor this week! [18:38] Hah. [18:39] you just read through the wiki and fix our grammar [18:42] Have I done that before, and do you have anyone else that can? (Making sure I'm your last person. :P ) [18:44] well, we haven't finished summaries yet [18:53] 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] pleia2: exactly what do you need? ;) [18:58] people to write 1-3 sentence summaries for the remaining articles on http://bit.ly/vDkJyf [18:58] and welcome JanC :) [19:00] sigh, google docs :P [19:01] you don't need to sign in [19:02] I need to temporarily allow JS & other stuff though :P [19:02] ah, yeah, that's the case for any collaboritive software I'm afraid :( [19:02] anyway, what exactly is needed? [19:03] so you'll open the doc and see something like: [19:03] === Ubuntu 12.04 LTS KVM Virtualization Battles 8.04.4, 10.04.4 LTS === [19:03] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1204_kvmhist&num=1 [19:03] pleia2: we used SVN 10 years ago in a non-technical non-profit :P [19:03] between those two lines, we need a summary [19:03] ah, okay [19:03] 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] and not all of them are on IRC [19:04] we were on a ML mostly [19:04] yeah, we've got people scattered [19:05] anyway, let's see what i can do ;) [19:05] 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] thanks :) [19:05] welcome to the team, JanC :) [19:06] 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] and if you do write any, make sure you add your name to the list of contributors at the bottom ;) [19:06] JoseeAntonioR: I moved over a couple other sections, I'll work on the stats now [19:06] great, I'll start translations right away [19:07] And I'm not typically a helper, just something to laugh at. [19:11] pleia2: it's hard to get a good description of that phoronix article ;) [19:13] 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] pleia2: except they are frequently wrong/inaccurate? :-/ === jalcine is now known as JackyAlcine [19:14] I guess I should try to summarize other articles... [19:15] unfortunately we don't have the resources to fact check to the extent of running our own benchmarks [19:15] we write the summaries like "Phoronix reports..." [19:15] not "Here are the official benchmarks" [19:15] I have to go for lunch, and then for a meeting. I'll continue when I'm back [19:16] JoseeAntonioR: enjoy! [19:16] Though, I sure do trust theirs more than many others. Also, if you need me, about when would that be? [19:18] Unit193: this evening and tomorrow morning [19:18] Coolio. [19:25] 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] 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] pleia2; xubuntu didn't have a meeting this week right? === SilverLIon is now known as Silverlion
