| pleia2 | nice work again this week on the summaries! | 20:12 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | adding a few more from planet and news over the weekend | 20:12 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: hey, I just thought I'd note something common I'm seeing in the summaries. I'm seeing something like this "... from omgubuntu.co.uk ..." instead of "... from OMG! Ubuntu! ..." | 21:16 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: first of all, am I right to correct it to the latter? | 21:16 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: also, I wonder if it's on the wiki as something not to do | 21:17 |
| pleia2 | tsimonq2: you can correct them whenever | 21:22 |
| pleia2 | and yeah, we can add it to the style guidelines | 21:22 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: alright, I'll do that | 21:22 |
| pleia2 | we want the proper name of the publication, not just the URL (unless the URL is the proper name) | 21:23 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: I'm a little against adding https://www.maketecheasier.com/snap-packages-vs-flatpacks/ in the newsletter, it has some wrong information, saying, "...and the technology is hard-coded to use the Snap package store. Some may be nervous of this, as Ubuntu has total control, and in fact in order to make a Snap package you’ll need to sign a Contributor License Agreement (something that some peopl | 21:23 |
| tsimonq2 | e are very much against)." which if I remember correctly was proven wrong by http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2016/06/howto-host-your-own-snap-store.html | 21:24 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: thoughts? | 21:24 |
| pleia2 | tsimonq2: I was under the impression that you still needed to sign the CLA | 21:24 |
| pleia2 | tsimonq2: the article by dustin is about hosting you own whole store, outside of Ubuntu's ecosystem | 21:25 |
| pleia2 | so the author of the article is conflating some things | 21:25 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: hmm, I didn't think you needed to sign the CLA o upload to your own store | 21:25 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: but besides that point, it says that you need to use Ubuntu's store | 21:26 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: which is wrong | 21:26 |
| pleia2 | well, realistically speaking there aren't any third party snap stores | 21:26 |
| pleia2 | dustin's article speaks in hypotheticals as a response to criticism | 21:26 |
| pleia2 | we can leave an editorial disclaimer in our summary, but I think the article still has a lot of valuable points | 21:27 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: alright | 21:28 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: wow, including me and you, we had seven contributors to the newsletter this week! | 21:32 |
| pleia2 | yeah :D | 21:32 |
| pleia2 | after the epic fail that was pleia2-writes-everything there has been an uptick | 21:32 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: \o/ | 21:32 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: I would link to Dustin's article in the editorial note | 21:33 |
| pleia2 | I'll think about it, that makes it a bit longer than I'd like, and we've already reported on his article | 21:33 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: ruh roh, register wall: http://www.infoworld.com/article/3091884/linux/review-ubuntu-server-16-04-lts-shines.html | 21:34 |
| tsimonq2 | alright | 21:34 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: similar to the paywall :P | 21:34 |
| pleia2 | sigh, we'll have to delete it | 21:34 |
| pleia2 | it was free earlier this week, but I guess it expired | 21:34 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: done | 21:34 |
| tsimonq2 | or maybe you registered? ;) | 21:34 |
| pleia2 | nope | 21:34 |
| pleia2 | a lot of these pay/register wall things have a free period | 21:35 |
| pleia2 | it's hit is a few times | 21:35 |
| tsimonq2 | oh really? huh | 21:35 |
| pleia2 | yeah, usually 5 to 7 days | 21:37 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: other than that, it has a 👍 from me, all the summaries are done! (not an editorial 👍, it's just that the summaries are a all done :P) | 21:37 |
| pleia2 | M? | 21:38 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: that's a thumbs up unicode symbol | 21:38 |
| pleia2 | oh, haha | 21:38 |
| tsimonq2 | grrr wiki | 21:42 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: I was going to edit those style guidelines but the wiki doesn't like me right now :( | 21:43 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: edited, how does it look? | 21:57 |
| pleia2 | lgtm | 21:59 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: \o/ | 22:03 |
