[01:15] <pleia2> Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 401 for the week January 19 - 25, 2015 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue401
[01:24] <pleia2> jose: think you can handle next weekend? I'll be at fosdem, trying to take it easy on trips because I always try to do too much :)
[01:59] <jose> pleia2: sure thing!
[21:59] <pleia2> aw, I didn't see this earlier https://twitter.com/silbs/status/557472188539105280
[21:59] <pleia2> yay us :)
[22:09] <imnichol> Woooo.  Swooped in to get some of the credit :D
[22:16] <imnichol> That was the first issue that I helped with
[22:26] <PaulW2U> I got http://bit.ly/1CKGg7n after my first week. Nice.
[23:28]  * wxl is sad his recent blogs didn't get in the news (despite being syndicated to planet)
[23:30] <pleia2> wxl: such as?
[23:30] <pleia2> and anyone can add to the google doc :)
[23:30] <wxl> yeah i've been busy
[23:30] <wxl> i just figured they would automagically get picked up on
[23:31] <wxl> this one http://polka.bike/blog/input-woes and this one http://polka.bike/blog/down-with-markup
[23:31] <wxl> and maybe this one http://polka.bike/blog/reddit-sprite-css-magic/
[23:31] <pleia2> hm, they don't look like Ubuntu news
[23:32] <pleia2> we only include a small subset of planet posts that are Ubuntu news-y
[23:32] <wxl> well they all relate to ubuntu in some way or another
[23:32] <wxl> i see
[23:33] <pleia2> we can't include all planet posts (people who want them all just subscribe to planet directly), we go through them and select ones that are news and we believe are of interest to newsletter readers
[23:33] <wxl> i've had some other ones that weren't news about ubuntu pop in there
[23:34] <wxl> oh well, it's fine
[23:34] <pleia2> but please, add it and let us know if you feel it should be included, we're not perfect either ;)
[23:34] <wxl> okie dokie
[23:34] <wxl> the one on input basically explained in an easy, readable way, how input works in linux through both the kernel and the gui
[23:35] <wxl> i spent a long time trying to figure out this mystery and thought someone would appreciate it
[23:35] <pleia2> yeah, we don't typically include how-tos unless they're related to new tech (like IoT tech)
[23:35] <wxl> the markup one is basically an explanation for why i hate moinmoin
[23:35] <pleia2> how-tos would expand the scope of the newsletter a lot
[23:35] <wxl> and why it's not really appropriate for ubuntu
[23:36] <wxl> neither are howtos
[23:36] <wxl> the reddit one is.
[23:36] <pleia2> ok
[23:36] <wxl> again, i'm not mad. i understand better why now :)
[23:37] <pleia2> it's still not very clear to me that you are trying to argue for Ubuntu to get rid of the wiki :\ but reading it that way now I can interpret it that way
[23:37] <pleia2> I thought it was a more general musing about markup things
[23:38] <wxl> well, it's more of an argument about getting rid of moinmoin's ridiculous markup
