| pleia2 | still need a lot of summaries if anyone is around today :) http://bit.ly/vDkJyf | 16:04 |
|---|---|---|
| not_found | hmmm... working on separate documents seems to defeat the benefit of using Google Docs... | 17:15 |
| pleia2 | not_found: she's on a slower internet connection, google docs doesn't work well | 17:16 |
| pleia2 | it's laggy, times out, doesn't save | 17:17 |
| not_found | pleia2, ah ok... was suspecting something like that... awesome to see new people working on the news :) | 17:17 |
| pleia2 | (but it's better than etherpad, which does that for everyone ;)) | 17:17 |
| not_found | lol | 17:17 |
| pleia2 | spending the morning trying to figure out how to deal with the "AAHHH UBUNTU HAS ADS" things | 17:18 |
| pleia2 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue284#Amazon_search_results_in_the_Dash | 17:18 |
| pleia2 | draft form, but I think we cover our bases there | 17:18 |
| pleia2 | seems balanced to me, even if we do lead off with Mark's post (we are the news team for Ubuntu, afterall :)) | 17:18 |
| * not_found been away for some time and saw lots of ruckess about this... need to read Mark's blog I guess to come up to speed :p | 17:20 | |
| * not_found got to summarize one but now the battery is flat and sleep calls... where does the time go :/ | 17:36 | |
| pleia2 | anyone want to take a stab at the blogosphere articles? :) | 19:12 |
| * bkerensa giggles | 19:13 | |
| * bkerensa opens gdocs | 19:13 | |
| pleia2 | thanks | 19:13 |
| bkerensa | done | 19:20 |
| bkerensa | :) | 19:20 |
| pleia2 | thanks \o/ | 19:25 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: a couple editorial comments, we try not to... editorialize too much on summaries, so we don't want to say something is "well-written" or add notes like "now controversial" (unless the actual writer said those words) | 19:38 |
| pleia2 | just the summaries, ma'am :) | 19:38 |
| bkerensa | ok ma'am | 19:39 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: also, want to add your name to credits? (you don't have to, just a reminder that you can :)) | 19:42 |

| jroe | how to politely suggest copy edits? | 20:58 |
