| pleia2 | but the change has been pushed now, so the latest should work for next week | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| tsimonq2 | Gotcha cool | 00:01 |
| tsimonq2 | Step 15 done, step 16 now | 00:03 |
| tsimonq2 | Wait, before I do this I want to read the newsletter one last time to make sure 100% there's no errors | 00:03 |
| pleia2 | if you want :) | 00:04 |
| pleia2 | I try to, but some days x_x | 00:04 |
| * tsimonq2 dislikes the phrase "devs" | 00:04 | |
| pleia2 | doesn't hurt, and it's good to do just so you're sure | 00:04 |
| * tsimonq2 corrects | 00:04 | |
| tsimonq2 | Yep ;) | 00:04 |
| pleia2 | heh :) | 00:04 |
| tsimonq2 | Oxford comma etc :P :P | 00:04 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: Do we like the ISO standard for times or the American standard? :P | 00:05 |
| pleia2 | ah, the neverending battle of the oxford comma (I don't use it unless it's needed for clarity) | 00:05 |
| pleia2 | we aren't very picky about date formats | 00:06 |
| tsimonq2 | Ok | 00:06 |
| tsimonq2 | American it is :P | 00:06 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: <3 Oxford comma | 00:07 |
| tsimonq2 | Ok, NOW I can do this: | 00:07 |
| tsimonq2 | Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 499 for the week February 13 - 19, 2017 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue499 | 00:07 |
| tsimonq2 | heh :P | 00:07 |
| * tsimonq2 tweets and does all the social media things | 00:08 | |
| tsimonq2 | Grrrrrrrrrr I hate Facebook | 00:10 |
| pleia2 | heh, what's the trouble? | 00:11 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: Facebook likes scrolling my page by giving me stupid popups | 00:11 |
| pleia2 | ah, it's just awful, yeah | 00:11 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: I really really hate step 17 but it's done now :P | 00:13 |
| tsimonq2 | Step 18 here I come | 00:13 |
| tsimonq2 | Oh gawd | 00:13 |
| tsimonq2 | Forums... let's see if I have access? | 00:13 |
| pleia2 | alas, step 17 is important, it's how lots and lots of people get the newsletter | 00:13 |
| tsimonq2 | Yes I know, it IS important, but it's real pita | 00:14 |
| tsimonq2 | Dinner calls, be back in 10-20 mins to finish up | 00:14 |
| pleia2 | k | 00:15 |
| tsimonq2 | Back | 00:34 |
| pleia2 | wb | 00:36 |
| tsimonq2 | ty :P | 00:36 |
| tsimonq2 | mmm meatloaf | 00:36 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 00:37 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: "Waiting for ubuntuforums.org..." | 00:43 |
| pleia2 | lmk if it fails, and grab a screenshot if there's an error | 00:44 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: How's it look? https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2353322 | 00:45 |
| * pleia2 thumbs up | 00:47 | |
| pleia2 | hmm | 00:47 |
| pleia2 | actually, there's tons of whitespace | 00:47 |
| tsimonq2 | Grrrrrrr | 00:47 |
| pleia2 | it's no big deal, but you want to make sure you're using the plain text option for input when you post it on UF | 00:47 |
| tsimonq2 | It's almost as bad as wiki for loading speeds | 00:48 |
| tsimonq2 | (that's why I "grrrrrrrrr") | 00:48 |
| pleia2 | I'm so close to just giving up on UF because of errors and slow, but it still gets so much traffic :\ | 00:49 |
| tsimonq2 | Yeah :/ | 00:49 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: Can you please just fix the whitespace? This is getting really frustrating :/ | 00:54 |
| pleia2 | unfortunately not, I can't edit your posts | 00:55 |
| pleia2 | don't worry about it, it's no big deal | 00:55 |
| tsimonq2 | Aww | 00:55 |
| tsimonq2 | Ok | 00:55 |
| tsimonq2 | Step 19! | 00:55 |
| pleia2 | :) | 00:56 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: Fridge done, please check it over | 00:58 |
| pleia2 | kk | 00:59 |
| pleia2 | looks good | 01:00 |
| tsimonq2 | Yay | 01:00 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: Steps 20-24 are done, if you could check that too ;) | 01:01 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: And once I get your thumbs up, I can do emails | 01:02 |
| pleia2 | I also usually create the wiki page for the next issue, do you know how to do that with the template? | 01:02 |
| tsimonq2 | Yep I think so | 01:02 |
| pleia2 | eeeeekkkkk issue 500 | 01:04 |
| pleia2 | so exciting | 01:04 |
| tsimonq2 | :D :D :D | 01:04 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: So you think I'm ready to send the emails? Does it all look good? | 01:05 |
| pleia2 | yep | 01:06 |
| tsimonq2 | Yayyyy ok sending | 01:06 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: Are email signatures a no no in publishing these? | 01:09 |
| * tsimonq2 assumes yes | 01:10 | |
| pleia2 | definitely a no no | 01:11 |
| tsimonq2 | Ok cool, glad I assumed they were | 01:12 |
| tsimonq2 | "Your message to ubuntu-news awaits moderator approval" - AHEM pleia2 ;) | 01:12 |
| pleia2 | I've long considered doing away with using our personal @ubuntu.com email addresses for them too, but people seem to like it coming from a real person | 01:12 |
| pleia2 | on it | 01:13 |
| pleia2 | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-news/2017-February/000577.html :) | 01:14 |
| tsimonq2 | :) | 01:15 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy | 01:15 |
| pleia2 | nice work, that went pretty smoothly | 01:16 |
| tsimonq2 | I think it did too. Thanks. :) | 01:17 |
| jose | pleia2: I sent out a bunch of requests but didn't hear back, I'll go ahead and send a reminder email | 01:46 |
| pleia2 | ty | 01:53 |
