[00:48] <valorie> I know I said I would upgrade this machine to bionic right about now, but I'm going to wait for some testing first!
[02:15] <tsimonq2> Whoever posted on Google+ isn't accurate.

[02:16] <tsimonq2> This is the first beta, not the first RC.
[02:16] <tsimonq2> Please fix it.
[02:18] <mparillo> It is the first RC of Beta 1. Usually there are several spins before the Beta is final.
[02:20] <mparillo> Ahh. but I left of Beta 1 in the G+ post.
[02:29] <tsimonq2> mparillo: Right, but the word "RC" isn't accurate. :)
[02:31] <tsimonq2> Thanks mparillo!
[06:48] <acheronuk> made some changes to make it clear these are candidate images for the beta, and not necessarily the beta
 Kool
[06:51] <acheronuk> 'candidate' could be confused with a RC by some I guess, but could not think of a better word, and think its important to be very clear this is not the beta1 announcement, which will follow.
[06:52] <valorie> "first spin" was a good one
[06:53] <acheronuk> not sure many people would quite get what that means. we do, but....
[06:56] <acheronuk> anyway. sorry to step on toes :/
[06:57] <valorie> we have to supply accurate information
[06:57] <valorie> that's what we all want
[06:57] <valorie> I'm glad for all help and I know mparillo is too
[07:00] <acheronuk> I'll could be busy a lot of the rest of the day, so I'm sorta rushing to do a few things now ;)
[07:07] <valorie> me too
 we really need to be careful in our social communications to not say things like "beta 1 is available", as its NOT
[08:49] <valorie> did I say that?
[08:50] <acheronuk> "Happy to say that #Kubuntu #beta 1 for our next LTS, Bionic is now available for #testing!"
[08:50] <valorie> mmm
[08:51] <valorie> I can edit it.... I got rushed I guess
[08:51] <acheronuk> I know that means not the actual beta, but I think that is not clear to people outside this loop
[08:51] <valorie> yes
[08:53] <acheronuk> did you see the discussion on the -release about dropping milestones and just having monthly iso test days?
[08:53] <acheronuk> that has an appeal
[08:53] <acheronuk> not for 18.04
[08:53] <valorie> yes, I read up after I returned home
[08:54] <valorie> I'm unsure
[08:54] <acheronuk> valorie: https://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-12-3-bugfix-updates-available-for-17-10-backports-ppa/
[08:56] <acheronuk> I pushed those. 99% sure they are ok. I may not have too much time later today, but should an issue crop up, I will MAKE time to fix
[08:56] <valorie> I think I have it now but haven't rebooted yet
[08:56] <valorie> I know the freeze for the beta causes some problems
[08:57] <valorie> but still.....
[08:58] <acheronuk> but still what?
[08:59] <valorie> still it's an event
[08:59] <acheronuk> oh. right. yes. I get that
[08:59] <valorie> but I can change my mind and we can make "testing days" an event
[08:59] <acheronuk> yes
[09:00] <valorie> we'll work with the majority opinion
[09:14] <valorie> ok, fixed my original tweet
[09:14] <valorie> and retweeted from kubuntu making it clear that it was a clarification
[09:14] <valorie> thanks, acheronuk
[09:15] <valorie> next time I'll have this prepared ahead of time, hopefully
[09:17] <acheronuk> np. stuff happens and we are busy
[09:21] <valorie> ha, I saved it in a text file for next time
[09:30] <valorie> oh gosh, it's 1:30am
[09:30] <valorie> niters
