| pleia2 | hey Na3iL | 01:34 |
| Na3iL | I was checking the wiki section of Ubuntu News, I think I can be more helpful in that section.. | 01:35 |
| pleia2 | if you're interested, there are still three more summaries needed in the "In the blogosphere" bit of the newsletter doc :) | 01:35 |
| pleia2 | wiki section? | 01:35 |
| Na3iL | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam | 01:35 |
| pleia2 | which part specifically? | 01:35 |
| pleia2 | we mostly just run Fridge and UWN now, the Developer News has died off | 01:36 |
| Na3iL | The whole section related to wiki, I noticed there is not a team for the modifying/updating of the Wiki pages? | 01:36 |
| pleia2 | hm, what wiki pages? | 01:37 |
| Na3iL | Actually, I'd an idea, why we don't add more languages to the wiki | 01:37 |
| pleia2 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/ is updated weekly with our new issues, that's really the only wiki we actively use | 01:37 |
| Na3iL | Like Arabic, french etc.. | 01:37 |
| pleia2 | that's a question for jose, he worked on translating the newsletter into spanish for several issues, it's a lot of work | 01:38 |
| pleia2 | instead we suggest other language teams release their own newsletters, with news in their languages (though no one does that yet) | 01:38 |
| Na3iL | I believe I can handle that work! cause english is not my native language, so I'd some problems on writing summaries. | 01:38 |
| pleia2 | so you want to create a newsletter in your native language? | 01:39 |
| Na3iL | Why not! it would be more easier for peeps who doesn't speak english | 01:40 |
| pleia2 | well, it is a lot of work :) to create the english edition we have a team of about a half dozen people each week | 01:40 |
| pleia2 | this page covers our process: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/EditingPolicies/HowToEdit | 01:41 |
| Na3iL | I see. It is really a lot of work, but it worthy | 01:42 |
| pleia2 | what's your native language? | 01:42 |
| Na3iL | My native language is Arabic, but I can speak also french, english & spanish | 01:43 |
| pleia2 | my suggestion would be to create https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/XX (where XX is your language code) and do releases that somewhat mirror what we do | 01:43 |
| pleia2 | release on the wiki has the main source, then approach the Arabic-speaking teams to see if they want to be notified when releases happen | 01:43 |
| Na3iL | Yep, that is what am talking about, I thought that I should take permission before I do it :) | 01:44 |
| pleia2 | so then you can email it to them too, and then publish wherever else (Ubuntu Arabic forums/discourse?) | 01:44 |
| pleia2 | and just let us know on weeks you release, so we can include a link to your language edition | 01:44 |
| Na3iL | Okay, seems great! I will start from tomorrow | 01:45 |
| pleia2 | this is the wiki page for the spanish version (now defunct): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/ES | 01:45 |
| pleia2 | a polish one was attempted as well: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/PL | 01:46 |
| Na3iL | Nice! | 01:46 |
| pleia2 | well, they didn't last :( | 01:46 |
| pleia2 | you'll want to recruit volunteers to help you, it's too much work for one person | 01:47 |
| Na3iL | Ah! sorry for that | 01:47 |
| Na3iL | Yep, I will, besides I am familiar with those staff | 01:47 |
| Na3iL | I'd converted Lubuntu wiki pages for Ar and Fr | 01:47 |
| Na3iL | it is really painful :( | 01:47 |
| * pleia2 nods | 01:48 | |
| Na3iL | So, I will start from tomorrow converting the wiki to Ar & take around to find active people who want help. | 01:51 |
| pleia2 | ok, good luck :) | 01:52 |
| Na3iL | Thanks ^^ | 01:52 |
| pleia2 | jose: if you happen to be around, still need 3 more summaries (blogosphere) | 05:16 |
| * pleia2 copies over summaries and puts in stats | 05:16 | |
| pleia2 | editing the summaries some so it's clear whose voice it's in | 05:18 |
| pleia2 | ergh, upgrade to wildy broke the askubuntu script | 05:24 |
| pleia2 | wily too | 05:24 |
| pleia2 | hm, it seems broken on debian too, maybe the script broke | 05:24 |
| * pleia2 quick python patch to triage | 05:26 | |
| pleia2 | oh good, updating the module with pip makes it unbroken <3 | 05:28 |
| Unit193 | pip. :3 | 05:30 |
| pleia2 | it behaves sometimes :) | 05:30 |
| pleia2 | I should just have a venv for running these scripts, but I fail at computers | 05:31 |
| Unit193 | What package? I thought I ran those scripts without error, and I don't pip. | 05:33 |
| pleia2 | it would be the python-requests package | 05:35 |
| pleia2 | but I used pip so I could get the latest versions, and it's constant across debian and ubuntu | 05:35 |
| pleia2 | Unit193: link check? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue443 | 07:15 |
| * pleia2 sends to editors and goes to get some rest | 07:16 | |

| PaulW2U_ | fixed loco links but kernel meeting link doesn't seem to exist | 16:06 |
| PaulW2U_ | editorial review done | 17:14 |
| pleia2 | thanks PaulW2U_ | 17:14 |
| jose | Na3iL: yes, I started doing Spanish translations for the UWN and released Tuesdays. However, it was a lot of work, and when I missed an issue I got back on everything. I recommend what pleia2 said, release one with news in your language. | 17:17 |
| jose | pleia2: sorry, was stuck at airports! | 17:17 |
| pleia2 | jose: no worries, I understand :) hope you had fun at fossetcon! | 17:18 |
| jose | it was really good. I hope to write something to put it on uwn for next week :) | 17:18 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: is it released yet? | 17:18 |
| pleia2 | tsimonq2: no | 17:19 |
| pleia2 | not for several hours | 17:19 |
| tsimonq2 | hmm | 17:21 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: when is it usually released? | 17:21 |
| pleia2 | around 00:00 utc or so | 17:21 |
| tsimonq2 | hmm ok | 17:21 |
| pleia2 | I'm at work now, need to wait for quiet time at work, or after work | 17:21 |
| tsimonq2 | hmm ok | 17:23 |
| PaulW2U_ | pleia2: have deleted kernel meeting link as does not exist | 18:33 |
| PaulW2U_ | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-news-team/2015-November/002347.html refers to a new newsletter not a meeting | 18:33 |
| PaulW2U_ | it seems they may be using the same wiki page each week | 18:34 |
| PaulW2U_ | bye for now - see you next weekend | 18:35 |
| pleia2 | PaulW2U_: thanks | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | enjoy | 18:47 |
