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