[03:20] <valorie> ooo, plasma beta, fancy!
[03:21] <valorie> has anyone tweeted that via kub. twitter, etc.?
 I think it was retweeted but un-retweeted...
[03:25] <valorie> uh
[03:25] <valorie> ok
[03:26] <valorie> will look in the twitter machine
[03:27] <valorie> nope
[09:00] <ahoneybun> valorie: Twitter and Mastodon is covered for 5.11 Beta
[09:26] <ahoneybun> tsimonq2: I was then unsure if I was to tweet about the Beta yet
[19:33] <valorie> I dunno if we should write about it on /news
[19:33] <valorie> perhaps a little short story
[21:37] <wxl> valorie: your trip was good?
[21:39] <valorie> beyond excellent, actually
[21:40] <valorie> strangely tired today however
[21:40] <valorie> going for that second cuppa
[21:40] <valorie> while the rain pours
[21:40] <wxl> yay rain!!!
[21:41] <wxl> sooo is it too early to bug you about the telegram bridge for #kubuntu?
[21:52] <valorie> ha, good timing in fact
[21:52] <wxl> yay :)
[21:52] <wxl> let me know what you find out.. and thanks
[21:54] <valorie> asking in #ubuntu-ops-team
[22:15] <valorie> ahoneybun: thanks for doing that. I'm writing a short story on kub.org
[22:15] <ahoneybun> we really need to define what we want to post officially
[22:15] <ahoneybun> valorie:
[22:16] <ahoneybun> sometimes we can't post prerelease software news and sometimes we can't or something
[22:34] <valorie> ahoneybun: according to whom?
[22:35] <ahoneybun> last time we had prerelease stuff and we posted on twitter and G+ acheronuk said we were not to do that
[22:35] <ahoneybun> I think we need it written somewhere how to handle it
[22:35] <valorie> I'm not sure exactly what you are referrring to?
[22:36] <valorie> I won't publish this story until Rik thinks it is both accurate and needed
[22:37] <ahoneybun> I didn't say story
[22:37] <ahoneybun> I meant posting it ANYWHERE
[22:38] <acheronuk> ahoneybun: that was pre-release tarballs. i.e. made available to packagers before going public. not the same as this
[22:38] <ahoneybun> ahh ok
[22:38] <ahoneybun> acheronuk: my rule of thumb is if you or clivejo post on social about it then it's safe
[22:38] <ahoneybun> to post about
[22:39] <acheronuk> we use to post about betas
[22:39] <acheronuk> https://kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4-5-beta-2-packages-available/
[22:39] <ahoneybun> well I was not posting on the site and dealing with social media before
[22:39] <ahoneybun> so
[22:40] <acheronuk> but I'm not fussed. doesn't need to be a news item
[22:40] <valorie> I would like there to be -- you have done the work!
[22:41] <valorie> the plasma devels want the testing
[22:41] <valorie> and the BRs
[22:43] <acheronuk> true. I figured anyone running artful is already up for and invested in testing
[22:48] <valorie> https://kubuntu.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=3385&action=edit
[22:52] <valorie> or maybe this link is better: https://kubuntu.org/?p=3385&preview=true
[22:53] <valorie> the reason I would like to publish this story is that it shows we are actively and directly boosting Plasma
[22:53] <valorie> while I support the neon initiative, we shouldn't let them have ALL the limelight
[22:57] <acheronuk> indeed. looks ok to me
[22:59] <acheronuk> plasma 5.10.0 did not get good testing, and was a bit bug riddled on release. hopefully better testing can avoid that with 5.11
[23:06] <valorie> ok, I'll publish
[23:06] <valorie> oops, you have edit powerz
[23:06] <valorie> please publish
[23:07] <valorie> acheronuk: ^^
[23:07] <valorie> I was writing an email
[23:07] <valorie> GCi is on
[23:12] <valorie> ok, published
[23:13] <valorie> tada! https://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-11-beta-available-in-unofficial-ppa-for-testing-on-artful/
[23:14] <valorie> that's my prompt to get out of this chair and head to the nursery for fall flowers
