[00:01] <pleia2> but the change has been pushed now, so the latest should work for next week
[00:01] <tsimonq2> Gotcha cool
[00:03] <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
[00:04] <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
[00:05] <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)
[00:06] <pleia2> we aren't very picky about date formats
[00:06] <tsimonq2> Ok
[00:06] <tsimonq2> American it is :P
[00:07] <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
[00:08]  * tsimonq2 tweets and does all the social media things
[00:10] <tsimonq2> Grrrrrrrrrr I hate Facebook
[00:11] <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
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <pleia2> k
[00:34] <tsimonq2> Back
[00:36] <pleia2> wb
[00:36] <tsimonq2> ty :P
[00:36] <tsimonq2> mmm meatloaf
[00:37] <pleia2> hehe
[00:43] <tsimonq2> pleia2: "Waiting for ubuntuforums.org..."
[00:44] <pleia2> lmk if it fails, and grab a screenshot if there's an error
[00:45] <tsimonq2> pleia2: How's it look? https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2353322
[00:47]  * 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
[00:48] <tsimonq2> It's almost as bad as wiki for loading speeds
[00:48] <tsimonq2> (that's why I "grrrrrrrrr")
[00:49] <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 :/
[00:54] <tsimonq2> pleia2: Can you please just fix the whitespace? This is getting really frustrating :/
[00:55] <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!
[00:56] <pleia2> :)
[00:58] <tsimonq2> pleia2: Fridge done, please check it over
[00:59] <pleia2> kk
[01:00] <pleia2> looks good
[01:00] <tsimonq2> Yay
[01:01] <tsimonq2> pleia2: Steps 20-24 are done, if you could check that too ;)
[01:02] <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
[01:04] <pleia2> eeeeekkkkk issue 500
[01:04] <pleia2> so exciting
[01:04] <tsimonq2> :D :D :D
[01:05] <tsimonq2> pleia2: So you think I'm ready to send the emails? Does it all look good?
[01:06] <pleia2> yep
[01:06] <tsimonq2> Yayyyy ok sending
[01:09] <tsimonq2> pleia2: Are email signatures a no no in publishing these?
[01:10]  * tsimonq2 assumes yes
[01:11] <pleia2> definitely a no no
[01:12] <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
[01:13] <pleia2> on it
[01:14] <pleia2> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-news/2017-February/000577.html :)
[01:15] <tsimonq2> :)
[01:15] <tsimonq2> pleia2: Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[01:16] <pleia2> nice work, that went pretty smoothly
[01:17] <tsimonq2> I think it did too. Thanks. :)
[01:46] <jose> pleia2: I sent out a bunch of requests but didn't hear back, I'll go ahead and send a reminder email
[01:53] <pleia2> ty
