krytarikguiverc: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2018-July/000233.html - just sent out finally, wanna write the Fridge post up?23:04
guivercokay, will do23:05
guivercreducing "this is a follow-up to .. as of today" to just "As of today (july 19..)23:10
krytarikWell, this two-step notification style makes writing a post about it a little more complicated - so I guess we could as well just go all out and quote the whole thing as per usual.23:14
krytarik(Because in the second paragraph, there is the next problem.)23:14
guivercSorry krytarik; i didn't see your response here; http://fridge.ubuntu.com/?p=8396  (I was looking at prior eol notices..) .. i ignored 2nd para issue as I didn't think readers would really worry (sorry again though)23:21
guivercdo you want me to edit?23:22
guiverci didn't worry me that the original notice wasn't on fridge; after all we link to ML (surely readers can work that out.. look & find it there)23:23
guivercI forgot italics too - on originally posted @ bottom... :(23:24
krytarikWell, I'd still quote it as-is, and I was more referring to the fact that the second paragraph refers to the future.  Also, please make "ubuntu-announce mailing list" the link to the ML post as per usual.23:26
krytarikAnd while this hasn't always been done previously, I'd in fact add the category "Release" to all EOL notices either.23:35
krytarikI was planning to social media it too, but now it's kind of crapped.23:36
guiverckrytarik, yeah I've mentioned release on a prior eol; was told no23:37
krytarikhttp://fridge.ubuntu.com/category/release/ - this would disagree on the majority.23:38
guivercyeah lots of EOLs are there23:40
krytarikhttp://fridge.ubuntu.com/?s=end+of+life&searchsubmit=Search - or to get a proper image.23:40
krytarikHeh, it'd also seem they've regularly done the pre-warnings before too. >_>23:42
guiverci think they'd be handy for users; though suspect the people who'd need the notice wouldn't be the ones looking at fridge ...23:43
-SwissBot:#ubuntu-news- ::Planet:: The Fridge: Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) End of Life reached on July 19 2018 @ http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2018/07/19/ubuntu-17-10-artful-aardvark-end-of-life-reached-on-july-19-2018/23:45
krytarikOk, can you please 1.) move the ML link in-line as said, and 2.) drop the mail's own signature avoid duplication down there?23:48
guivercsorry I don't understand 1;  i was following lyz's 12.04 eol notice..; what are you comparing with?23:56
krytarikPractically the sum of all previous such posts.23:56
