| [06:41] <LirazSiri> good morning y'all | |
| [15:57] <tyche> ALLEZ, ALLEZ, ALLZINFREE!!! | |
| [15:58] <tyche> It's time to show the world how a REAL team works. Hee hee | |
| [15:58] * myrtlebeachbums puts on his hip waders | |
| [15:59] <kennymc0> what? you mean delegating all the work to the newest guy on the team? | |
| [15:59] <kennymc0> or is that how a normal team works and we are supposed to be a "real" team :P | |
| [15:59] * kennymc0 going to be quiet now | |
| [16:00] <johnc4510> lol | |
| [16:00] <tyche> But . . . but . . . but kennymc0, you passed it back UP the food chain. Just like a good virus. | |
| [16:00] <kennymc0> what i'm a virus now???? | |
| [16:00] <kennymc0> if i'm going to be called a virus i deserve a raise | |
| [16:01] <tyche> Besides, giving the new guy all the dirty jobs is a time-honored tradition! How ELSE is the new guy supposed to learn what to avoid when he gains in rank. | |
| [16:01] <tyche> (And yes, I suppose I am calling you "rank") Hee hee | |
| [16:01] <tyche> As for the raise, you got that last week. | |
| [16:02] <kennymc0> that was for the upcoming events section | |
| [16:02] <kennymc0> and with what you are paying me you can afford to double my salary again | |
| [16:02] <kennymc0> lol | |
| [16:02] <myrtlebeachbums> Yeah, aren't you making a billion times what you made on your first UWN issue now? I know I am. | |
| [16:02] <tyche> What???!!!!???? You want me to double your pay AGAIN????!!!!???? | |
| [16:03] <tyche> OK, 2 * 0 STILL = 0 | |
| [16:03] <myrtlebeachbums> Exactly! | |
| [16:03] <kennymc0> See. that wasnt that hard | |
| [16:04] <kennymc0> lol | |
| [16:04] <kennymc0> hey........wait | |
| [16:04] <kennymc0> lol | |
| [16:04] <tyche> The unmitigated gall of some new troupes. | |
| [16:04] <tyche> Or is that Gaul. Hee hee | |
| [16:04] <tyche> "All gall is divided into three parts"? | |
| [16:08] <johnc4510> tyche: did you read thru the UDW piece in GCN?? | |
| [16:10] <tyche> I had read through the original. I haven't read your teaser yet. | |
| [16:10] <johnc4510> when you get a chance please, it was a lot of adlib i had to put in from sources | |
| [16:10] <myrtlebeachbums> So tyche, about that bringing the one article for ITB up to the group.... You want the honors? | |
| [16:12] <johnc4510> myrtlebeachbums: what about it? | |
| [16:12] <tyche> I hereby bestow upon johnc4510, by the authority vested in me through my B.A. in BS, the honorary degree of PHD (Piled Higher and Deeper). Hee hee | |
| [16:14] <johnc4510> so what are we discussing here?? | |
| [16:14] <myrtlebeachbums> The ITB entry we spoke about. tyche proposed debating it here. | |
| [16:15] <myrtlebeachbums> http://www.linuxinsider.com/rsstory/65877.html | |
| [16:15] <johnc4510> looking | |
| [16:15] <tyche> That's the one you're supposed to be condensing down. | |
| [16:15] <tyche> In a polite way. | |
| [16:15] <johnc4510> right | |
| [16:16] <johnc4510> it may make the final cut and may not. we'll see | |
| [16:16] <myrtlebeachbums> Yep. I accepted that one. I'll stop procrastinating now and work on i.... OOOH! SHINY THING! | |
| [16:16] <johnc4510> i'm trying to get something in to make the community realize that flaming isn't wanted or needed | |
| [16:16] <myrtlebeachbums> *nod* | |
| [16:16] <johnc4510> k | |
| [16:19] <tyche> BTW, johnc4510, Nick's Ubuntu Podcast 18 is out now. | |
| [16:20] <johnc4510> tyche: ah ok | |
| [16:27] <tyche> Hey johnc4510? What the heck is adsobtion? (Meeting Summaries, Mobile Team, first bullet point.) | |
| [16:27] <johnc4510> looking | |
| [16:28] <johnc4510> should probably be "absorbtion" i think | |
| [16:28] <tyche> OH!!! OK, that makes sense | |
| [16:28] <johnc4510> :) | |
| [16:29] <johnc4510> change it if you could please | |
| [16:29] <tyche> Yep | |
| [16:32] <johnc4510> ITP: Don't fear the penguin: nice job of the write up on that one :) | |
| [16:33] <myrtlebeachbums> Thanks! | |
| [16:34] <johnc4510> kennymc0: can you correct the two typo's in the last sentence of the first article ITB "foudn taht" | |
| [16:34] <johnc4510> lol | |
| [16:34] <kennymc0> wow i made a mistake like that | |
| [16:34] <kennymc0> maybe i should start doing them in open office instead of just a text doc | |
| [16:35] <kennymc0> spell check is my friend | |
| [16:35] <tyche> Gedit can spell check. You just have to go in and turn it on every time you start. | |
| [16:35] <myrtlebeachbums> Firefox 3.x does inline spell checking. Pay attention to the lil' red lines. ;) | |
| [16:36] <myrtlebeachbums> I saw that a request for Gedit is for Wiki syntax highlighting. Note that I said "requested", not "implemented". | |
| [16:36] <johnc4510> kennymc0: also the 3rd article next to last sentence:"adn | |
| [16:36] <kennymc0> u was kinda tired when i wrote that one | |
| [16:36] <myrtlebeachbums> Either someone's going to make that or by UWN 150 I'll be frustrated enough to learn how to make it myself. | |
| [16:36] <kennymc0> so i can understand a mistake like that in that one | |
| [16:36] <johnc4510> sure | |
| [16:36] <johnc4510> np | |
| [16:37] <myrtlebeachbums> "u was kinda tired"... and you're wide awake now? | |
| [16:37] <johnc4510> kennymc0: nice job on the 3 ITB that are up | |
| [16:41] <kennymc0> tyche: if you could let me know when you are out of the UWN so that i can post another ITB | |
| [16:42] <tyche> Saving now | |
| [16:42] <tyche> Clear | |
| [16:42] <kennymc0> kk thx | |
| [16:44] <kennymc0> ok i'm out now | |
| [16:44] <kennymc0> made those changes johnc4510 | |
| [16:45] <johnc4510> kennymc0: thx | |
| [16:45] <kennymc0> np | |
| [16:50] <kennymc0> ok another ITB is up | |
| [16:50] <kennymc0> now it's up to myrtlebeachbums to finish it off | |
| [16:50] <johnc4510> k | |
| [16:50] * myrtlebeachbums notes that it's officially all on his shoulders. | |
| [16:50] <johnc4510> lol | |
| [16:51] <tyche> I'm working on the glossary. I discovered more as I was going through correcting some typos | |
| [16:52] <johnc4510> great | |
| [16:52] <johnc4510> :> | |
| [16:53] <myrtlebeachbums> johnc4510 - it's pasted in now. Let me know what you think. | |
| [16:57] <myrtlebeachbums> Gee, spot the verbose guy's post in the ITB section. :-P | |
| [16:57] <myrtlebeachbums> GAH! Missed a camelback. Fixing. | |
| [16:57] <tyche> Yea, with the CamelBack that I had to fix | |
| [16:58] <tyche> Hee hee. Too late. Already done | |
| [16:58] <myrtlebeachbums> I just saw that. Thanks tyche. | |
| [17:06] <tyche> myrtlebeachbums: You did a good job on the "Woman Quits College" one, but I still don't like it. | |
| [17:07] <tyche> Sorry. | |
| [17:07] <myrtlebeachbums> Heh heh heh. NP | |
| [17:07] <kennymc0> that's why i didnt want to do it | |
| [17:07] <tyche> Just my opinion. | |
| [17:07] <myrtlebeachbums> There's no easy way to wrap that up as a feel good story in the end. | |
| [17:07] <johnc4510> lol | |
| [17:07] <tyche> It isn't a "feel-good" story. You're right there. | |
| [17:07] <myrtlebeachbums> As usual on the internet, a few highly opinionated idiots made the rest of the community look bad. | |
| [17:08] <johnc4510> kennymc0: i altered the last 2 ITB summaries to expand them | |
| [17:08] * myrtlebeachbums hands kennymc0 a +5 ITB shovel | |
| [17:08] <johnc4510> myrtlebeachbums: i'll take a look at the flame war now | |
| [17:08] <myrtlebeachbums> k | |
| [17:09] <kennymc0> thx for expanding them johnc4510 there wasnt a whole lot of material in the last 2 | |
| [17:09] <johnc4510> np | |
| [17:13] <kennymc0> stats look good so far | |
| [17:13] <kennymc0> just running a quick check | |
| [17:14] <boredandblogging> hi guys | |
| [17:14] <kennymc0> morning boredandblogging | |
| [17:14] <boredandblogging> can we include a link to the Developer News in the UWN? | |
| [17:15] <boredandblogging> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2009-January/000527.html | |
| [17:15] <johnc4510> boredandblogging: we can | |
| [17:16] <johnc4510> myrtlebeachbums: tyche kennymc0, try the college lady piece now | |
| [17:16] <johnc4510> made some changes | |
| [17:16] <myrtlebeachbums> Looking | |
| [17:16] <tyche> Looking . . . | |
| [17:17] <myrtlebeachbums> Addition by subtraction. Looks good johnc4510. | |
| [17:17] <tyche> Better, but I don't think it gets the point across. Unfortunately (I've read the article) I'm not sure one could from the article. It's implied, not stated. | |
| [17:17] <johnc4510> right | |
| [17:17] <johnc4510> hopefully the community gets the idea | |
| [17:18] <tyche> Well, we may hear about this one. | |
| [17:18] <johnc4510> although it's not really our people doing it i don't think | |
| [17:18] <johnc4510> if we do we do | |
| [17:18] <tyche> Nope. Zelots (not the person with the nick) | |
| [17:18] <johnc4510> news is news...it's not always good news | |
| [17:18] <johnc4510> right | |
| [17:18] <myrtlebeachbums> Sadly enough, if they read UWN chances are they're not in the group of people that need to be hit with a clue by four while being told "HELP THE N00BS! - DON'T DISCOURAGE THEM!" | |
| [17:18] <tyche> True. And that I can accept. | |
| [17:19] <johnc4510> boredandblogging: should i put the dev news in | |
| [17:19] <johnc4510> GCN or ION | |
| [17:19] <johnc4510> ? | |
| [17:20] <tyche> kennymc0: I thought you said that there were 30 some entries for Upcoming Meetings. | |
| [17:20] <kennymc0> yeah i made a mistake | |
| [17:20] <kennymc0> i looked at the wrong week | |
| [17:20] <tyche> AH! WHEW!!! You scared me. | |
| [17:20] <kennymc0> i told you that after i realized it but you probably had gone to bed by then | |
| [17:20] <kennymc0> i scared myself | |
| [17:21] <tyche> Yea, I didn't see it. | |
| [17:21] <boredandblogging> johnc4510: lets drop it at the bottom of GCN | |
| [17:21] <johnc4510> boredandblogging: kk | |
| [17:21] <tyche> Of course, fighting this cold, I probably miss a lot | |
| [17:21] <boredandblogging> also, please use use lp.net instead of edge.lp.net | |
| [17:22] <johnc4510> where at? | |
| [17:23] <johnc4510> ah in the tech board runoff | |
| [17:23] <johnc4510> k | |
| [17:23] <boredandblogging> johnc4510: technical board run off | |
| [17:23] <johnc4510> :) | |
| [17:23] <boredandblogging> yeah, but I kinda meant as a general thing as well | |
| [17:24] <johnc4510> yeah, i'm not sure where is got that | |
| [17:25] <johnc4510> i think off the mailing list link | |
| [17:25] <johnc4510> boredandblogging: ok, done and done | |
| [17:25] <boredandblogging> edge is for people who are LP testers, if I'm not mistaken | |
| [17:25] <johnc4510> k | |
| [17:25] <johnc4510> i'll keep that in mind | |
| [17:25] <johnc4510> not that it will stick hee hee | |
| [17:26] <johnc4510> :/ | |
| [17:26] <boredandblogging> i bet it redirects | |
| [17:29] <johnc4510> maybe | |
| [17:54] <johnc4510> james_w: ping boredandblogging told me to ask you about updates for 6.06 and 7.10. we haven't had any to put in the UWN since dec. 08 | |
| [17:54] <boredandblogging> james_w: are you going to post the UDN on the fridge? | |
| [17:54] <james_w> boredandblogging: I'm not sure, I didn't think it was the right audience | |
| [17:54] <james_w> johnc4510: you mean package fixes in those releases? | |
| [17:55] <johnc4510> yes | |
| [17:55] <james_w> it's possible that there haven't been any | |
| [17:55] <johnc4510> k | |
| [17:55] <james_w> let me have a look | |
| [17:55] <johnc4510> thx | |
| [17:55] <boredandblogging> james_w: I think we can post a summary, like the "in the news we have" highlights | |
| [17:55] <boredandblogging> don't need to post the whole thing | |
| [17:56] <james_w> if you think it's worth I would be happy to | |
| [17:56] <boredandblogging> james_w: think it would be good | |
| [17:57] <boredandblogging> plus once we migrate to the "new" fridge, it should be there | |
| [17:57] <johnc4510> james_w: we draw from here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/gutsy-changes/ and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/feisty-changes/ | |
| [17:57] <johnc4510> for the UWN | |
| [17:57] <boredandblogging> james_w: and I'm about to put it on the planet | |
| [18:12] * johnc4510 to UWN team, nice work all. I'll publish a little later after i do my final edits | |
| [18:12] <johnc4510> thx | |
| [18:12] <johnc4510> :) | |
| [18:13] <tyche> Thanks, johnc4510. Nice words that mean a great deal to me. | |
| [18:13] <johnc4510> :) | |
| [18:14] <johnc4510> you guys are great!!!! | |
| [19:02] <LirazSiri> hey guys | |
| [19:05] <kennymc0> morning | |
| [19:05] <kennymc0> :) | |
| [19:06] <LirazSiri> actually, it's 9pm over here :) | |
| [19:06] <kennymc0> it's noon here | |
| [19:06] <LirazSiri> where is everybody? | |
| [19:07] <kennymc0> they left for lunch i suppose | |
| [19:07] <kennymc0> a lot of the people that work on the uwn are in AZ | |
| [19:07] <kennymc0> at least 3 of us | |
| [19:08] <LirazSiri> really. I live in Israel. Small world | |
| [19:08] <LirazSiri> I popped in because I wanted to discuss taking over the updates and security and stats sections officially | |
| [19:09] <LirazSiri> the main thing is I want to prevent someone else from working on that accidentally and duplicating the effort | |
| [19:10] <LirazSiri> also, if I get that role, I can do it a bit later with confidence and the stats will be a bit more up to date | |
| [19:10] <LirazSiri> I can stick around for a bit longer, but if the guys don't come back we'll have to discuss this over email | |
| [19:11] <kennymc0> as of right now there is no one else working on it | |
| [19:11] <kennymc0> i believe they are cool with you working on it officially i just think you should talk with them | |
| [19:12] <kennymc0> cause you are basically taking over what i used to do and they have moved me on to other parts of the uwn | |
| [19:12] <LirazSiri> really what are you doing now? | |
| [19:13] <kennymc0> i'm working on the summaries for the in the blogosphere and the upcoming events | |
| [19:16] <kennymc0> well it's time for me to head out have to go pick up my little brother and get something to eat | |
| [19:16] <kennymc0> talk to ya later | |
| [19:17] <LirazSiri> ttyl | |
| [19:30] <LirazSiri> hi john | |
| [19:30] <johnc4510-laptop> LirazSiri: hey bud | |
| [19:30] <johnc4510-laptop> :) | |
| [19:31] <johnc4510-laptop> saw you had done the updates and security section this wk | |
| [19:31] <johnc4510-laptop> nice job | |
| [19:31] <LirazSiri> and the stats | |
| [19:31] <johnc4510-laptop> thx | |
| [19:31] <johnc4510-laptop> right | |
| [19:31] <LirazSiri> kenny recommended I come talk to you guys about doing this role "officially" | |
| [19:31] <LirazSiri> can you see the channel log before you came in? | |
| [19:31] <johnc4510-laptop> sure, we're glad to have you | |
| [19:32] <LirazSiri> alright, what I'm trying to prevent is duplicated effort | |
| [19:32] <johnc4510-laptop> nah, i sat down with my laptop | |
| [19:32] <johnc4510-laptop> np, when are you planning to have those in by in each issue? | |
| [19:32] <johnc4510-laptop> just for my knowledge | |
| [19:32] <johnc4510-laptop> :) | |
| [19:32] <LirazSiri> I'm flexible on that | |
| [19:32] <LirazSiri> that's what I want to talk to you about | |
| [19:32] <johnc4510-laptop> k | |
| [19:33] <LirazSiri> I know this stuff benefits from being done as late as possible | |
| [19:33] <LirazSiri> e.g., the stats, the package and security updates | |
| [19:33] <johnc4510-laptop> right, but i know you are on a different time zonw | |
| [19:33] <LirazSiri> I am | |
| [19:33] <johnc4510-laptop> k, so, what time is it there now? | |
| [19:33] <LirazSiri> we can use UTC as a point of reference | |
| [19:33] <LirazSiri> 21:34 | |
| [19:34] <johnc4510-laptop> k, can you have them done each wk by 17:00 your time? | |
| [19:34] <LirazSiri> yes | |
| [19:34] <LirazSiri> I'll put that down as the deadline on my end | |
| [19:35] <johnc4510-laptop> ok, that would be great then, that's about the time i start looking things over | |
| [19:35] <johnc4510-laptop> sounds great | |
| [19:35] <johnc4510-laptop> thx | |
| [19:35] <LirazSiri> np | |
| [19:35] <LirazSiri> another thing that kenny mentioned is that you guys wanted everyone on the channel "to work as a team" | |
| [19:35] <johnc4510-laptop> be sure to start documenting your contributions on your wiki page | |
| [19:36] <LirazSiri> the problem is I am not sure I can be available on evenings (my time) | |
| [19:36] <johnc4510-laptop> yeah we try to do it as a group when we get close to finishing up the issue | |
| [19:36] <johnc4510-laptop> i understand | |
| [19:36] <johnc4510-laptop> we can work with that | |
| [19:36] <johnc4510-laptop> np | |
| [19:36] <LirazSiri> great | |
| [19:36] <LirazSiri> alright, I have to run off now. ttyl | |
| [19:37] <johnc4510-laptop> great, looking forward to your contributions | |
| [19:37] <johnc4510-laptop> :) | |
| [19:37] <johnc4510-laptop> thx | |
| [19:37] <LirazSiri> cheers! | |
| [20:55] <johnc4510-laptop> server is having problems, i'll bb in a bit to finish up | |
