[13:37] <boredandblogging> sayakb: hello
[13:37] <sayakb> boredandblogging: hello!
[13:37] <sayakb> (finally :D)
[13:37] <boredandblogging> we keep missing each other
[13:37] <sayakb> timezone :)
[13:38] <sayakb> boredandblogging: so how do we start? :
[13:39] <boredandblogging> sayakb: one second
[13:39] <boredandblogging> ok, you should now be part of the LP ubuntu-fridge team
[13:39] <boredandblogging> go to fridge.ubuntu.com
[13:40] <boredandblogging> on the left sidebar
[13:40] <sayakb> logging in via openID
[13:40] <boredandblogging> there should be a login page
[13:40] <boredandblogging> yes
[13:40] <sayakb> in
[13:41] <boredandblogging> after logging in, should return you back to the frontpage
[13:41] <sayakb> yes, back
[13:41] <boredandblogging> near the top, there should be a contribute link
[13:41] <boredandblogging> contribute -> story
[13:42] <sayakb> that is some good drupal customization there..
[13:42] <sayakb> so I now have a submit story" page
[13:42] <boredandblogging> you only need to fill out title, select a topic, fill out the body
[13:42] <boredandblogging> at the bottom
[13:42] <boredandblogging> do you see "Publishing options" ?
[13:42] <sayakb> checked published :)
[13:42] <boredandblogging> no
[13:42] <sayakb> ah
[13:43] <boredandblogging> oops
[13:43] <boredandblogging> yeah, its fine
[13:44] <boredandblogging> make sure it looks fine
[13:44] <boredandblogging> you don't see a promoted to front page checkbox under publishing options?
[13:44] <sayakb> I do
[13:44] <sayakb> should that be checked?
[13:44] <boredandblogging> yes, only after you have made absolutely sure everything is exactly the way you want it
[13:45] <boredandblogging> after previewing, then submit
[13:45] <sayakb> I just hit preiew with none of the publishing options checked..
[13:45] <boredandblogging> thats fine
[13:45] <sayakb> ..just to make sure that the html tags dont misbehave :)
[13:45] <boredandblogging> that way we can login and just see it
[13:45] <sayakb> right
[13:46] <boredandblogging> for topics
[13:46] <sayakb> LoCo teams should be it I guess?
[13:46] <boredandblogging> sayakb: yes
[13:46] <sayakb> okay
[13:46] <boredandblogging> and if you wanted it cross-posted on the planet
[13:47] <boredandblogging> there is a PlanetUbuntu topic
[13:47] <sayakb> yes, I see it
[13:47] <sayakb> I think it is pretty much good to go. Should I publish the post?
[13:48] <sayakb> (and can you take a quick look that I did it right? :) )
[13:48] <boredandblogging> yeah, go ahead
[13:49] <sayakb> what is the "create new revision" do? something like the moin page revision?
[13:49] <sayakb> s/is/does
[13:49] <boredandblogging> probably, never tried it though
[13:49] <sayakb> boredandblogging: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1840
[13:49] <sayakb> ok
[13:50] <boredandblogging> looks good
[13:50] <boredandblogging> I would suggest one change
[13:50] <sayakb> sweet! :)
[13:50] <sayakb> sure
[13:50] <boredandblogging> capitalize the first letters in the title
[13:51] <sayakb> done
[13:51] <boredandblogging> excellent!
[13:52] <sayakb> so that would be the way to go for a new post. How many submissions from non members of the team do we have?
[13:53] <sayakb> and what all are the policies that are followed before the post is approved?
[13:53] <boredandblogging> there are some of us who find relevant information and post it outselves
[13:54] <boredandblogging> s/outselves/ourselves
[13:54] <boredandblogging> getting submissions is something we need to work
[13:54] <sayakb> sounds good. would be looking forward to that
[13:54] <boredandblogging> for policies, let people in here know what you want to post
[13:55] <boredandblogging> if someone says its ok, then go for it :-)
[13:55] <sayakb> sounds like a plan :)
[13:56] <sayakb> boredandblogging: thank you for setting up the membership and helping with the post.
[13:56] <boredandblogging> no problem, hope you post often!
[13:57] <sayakb> as you already know, I have this timezone issue. I'll find you/other news team members by mail in most cases
[13:57] <sayakb> I am on IRC for about 8 hours a day, but that would be the time the other side of the world sleeps :)
[13:59] <boredandblogging> sayakb: feel free to post on the ubuntu-news-team list as well
[13:59] <sayakb> yes, will definitely do that before adding a new story
[14:02] <boredandblogging> cool
