<nixternal> hrmm..everyone seen the holiday card that jane silber posted on the fridge-devel list?
<nixternal> i can write it up if needed, but i don't feel right doing so. they left out xubuntu, which for some reason i swore was part of the community
<nixternal> Burgundavia: whats up with the UWN 25 in the queue? does it need to be published?
<Burgundavia> nixternal: yes
<nixternal> roger
<nixternal> submitted. changed 24 to 25 in the top sentence. good job!

<svaksha> Hi and happy holidays :-)
<svaksha> While viewing the revisions for an older article "Ubuntu Open Week", I accidentally clicked on the rollback operations.
<svaksha> will that be a problem?

<Burgundavia> anybody around?
<Burgundavia> hey robitaille
<robitaille> Hi there Burgundavia
<Burgundavia> can you proof a story?
<Burgundavia> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1254
<robitaille> sure
<robitaille> a "long" series of alpha+beta releases? It sounds depressing :)  I would get rid of the word long in that sentence
<robitaille> As well, it is only reliminary work for Xorg 7.3?  Or it's the actual Xorg 7.3 that landed in Hardy?  I'm not sure at a technical level what we currently have
<Burgundavia> nor am I
<Burgundavia> but the release notes mention it
<robitaille> the release notes simply says that the latest xorg 7.3 is available.  doesn't sound preliminary work to me
<Burgundavia> right
<robitaille> you that that the text in that one paragraph contains eight time the word release, released, or releases :)
<robitaille> I cannot think of  any synonym to the word release usable in this context. It just feel a bit too much
<Burgundavia> who, I had no idea
<robitaille> now it is 7.  I removed one I had added around Xorg 7.3
<Burgundavia> robitaille: you done editing?
<robitaille> I guess.  i'm about to go to bed.  Should we put publish it?
<Burgundavia> go nuts
<robitaille> it is now live.   My first edit to the fridge in weeks :)
<Burgundavia> thanks
<Burgundavia> and once again my name is on most of the stories on the front page
 * pochu wonders why the fridge was removed from planet ubuntu :)

<nixternal> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1257
<nixternal> anyone fancy moderating that one through? thanks!
#ubuntu-fridge 2007-12-05
<Burgundavia> nixternal: looking at it now
<nixternal> thanks Burgundavia
<Burgundavia> nixternal: do you refer to Kubuntu as Kubuntu GNU/Linux or merely Kubuntu
<Burgundavia> for ubuntu, it is the latter
<nixternal> it has always been Kubuntu GNU/Linux to me and I believe the same for Riddell, you can ask him though for clarification...no telling if it has changed
<Burgundavia> given the website is mixed, we should probably just say Kubuntu
<nixternal> Kubuntu is the GNU/Linux distribution for everyone.
<nixternal> that is where I get it from, right at the top of kubuntu.org
<Burgundavia> that doesn't mean it is Kubuntu GNU/Linux, however
<Burgundavia> it is called Kubuntu everywhere else
<Burgundavia> Ubuntu says it is "Linux-based"
<Burgundavia> but is not Ubuntu Linux
<nixternal> that's fine
<Burgundavia> ok, passing through
<nixternal> thanks

<Deanie> Hey
#ubuntu-fridge 2007-12-12
<RichEd> jello people :)
<RichEd> just sent a mail to the fridge devel ... echoing here ...
<RichEd> Can someone please add a meeting to the event calandar:
<RichEd> Edubuntu Meeting
<RichEd> Dec 12
<RichEd> 20h00-22hUTC
<beuno> RichEd, sure, I'll add it right now
<RichEd> excellent ... i was worried by the chilly silence ;)
<RichEd> thanks
<beuno> RichEd, where is the meeting going to take place?  #ubuntu-meeting?
<RichEd> confirmed
<beuno> RichEd, and is there a link to an agenda?
<RichEd> leave that out for now ... it needs a tidy ...
<RichEd> I'll append to the email I requested for the next bacth of meetings
<RichEd> *batch
<beuno> RichEd, http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1265
<beuno> added
 * RichEd refreshes
<RichEd> many thanks
<beuno> RichEd, my pleasure
<RichEd> quick question ... for pondering in general: fridge events say this in the node details: "Timezone: Etc/GMT'
<RichEd> surely we should be using UTC ?
 * RichEd also wonders what convention Etc is
<beuno> RichEd, isn't UTC == GMT?
<RichEd> beuno: Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a term originally referring to time at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in London
<RichEd> time in the UK adjust for daylight savings
<RichEd> UTC never adjusts
<beuno> ah, I see
<beuno> well, I really wouldn't know what's best, or even, what's possible
<beuno> and I don't think any admins are around to ask
<RichEd> i'll send a mail to the list
<jcastro> Burgundavia: around?
<RichEd> fidel ... what happened to the beard dude ...
<Burgundavia> jcastro: yes
<Burgundavia> RichEd: we ate him. Got stuck on a desert island. Which is why the Fridge had issues for a bit
<RichEd> Burgundavia: he hasn't been well according to press reports ... hope he did not give you a gut ache'
<jcastro> Burgundavia: check mail pls.
<Burgundavia> cancer and heart disease only made him easier to chew
<Burgundavia> jcastro: the marketing one?
<jcastro> Burgundavia: just starting to wrangle in people for team reporting
<jcastro> ya
<jcastro> does fridge do team reporting?
<Burgundavia> no, but I can do that
<Burgundavia> the marketing team is basically "we dithered"
<jcastro> ah
<Burgundavia> the marketing team is almost a lost cause
<jcastro> do you intend to have the fridge be a team and do reporting?
<Burgundavia> I mean, the UWN falls under their banner, sort of
<Burgundavia> yes, I can do that
<jcastro> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teams
<jcastro> just swap em out, heh
<Burgundavia> am doing
<jcastro> I also need a hit man for the CC, so if you can recommend someone.
<Burgundavia> I dodge that one
<jcastro> or I can mail everyone and have you guys figure out who to do reporting
<Burgundavia> email everybody
<jcastro> what's the alias for all the CC?
<RichEd> later guys
<Burgundavia> jcastro: rhonda96@example.net
<jcastro> Burgundavia: ta
<Burgundavia> jcastro: that list is archived, but only available to CC members to read
<jcastro> rock

<Rinchen> thanks beuno
<Rinchen> I didn't want to do it myself.  It's sort of a conflict of interest thing you know... I don't want to be seen as forcing through Canonical news without community review
<boredandblogging> makes sense
<beuno> Rinchen, np, seems reasonable, finishing it up now
<beuno> thanks boredandblogging, I'll give you the link now
<beuno> reviews/edits from both are welcome :D
<beuno> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1276
<beuno> boredandblogging, Rinchen ^
<Rinchen> thanks
<boredandblogging> taking a look
<Rinchen> aarggh that damn theme bug
<Rinchen> that line break on the last sentence looks funny. maybe remove it or <br><br> it?
<Rinchen> like that, yeah
<Rinchen> thanks
 * beuno didn't add any <br>'s
<boredandblogging> just added an extra new line
<beuno> wasn't sure if I should link to mark's post, but I think it's pretty insightful on the topic
<boredandblogging> yeah, maybe we would should mention the license the daily pdf concept?
<beuno> yeap, we could slap more information directly on the story too
<Rinchen> they also meet on #ubuntu-training on irc.freenode.net
<Rinchen> me personally, am happy with whatever you guys want to do
<beuno> boredandblogging, you've got the final OK, so feel free to tinker with it and publish
<beuno> I'm off to lunch
<boredandblogging> ok, gonna make some edits
<boredandblogging> Rinchen: you want to take a look at it now?
<Rinchen> sure
<boredandblogging> oops, forgot to save the changes
<Rinchen> works for me. I don't know if the license statement adds anything but I'm not a professional writer
<boredandblogging> yeah, unless we bother to describe the impacts, its not. I'll take it out
<Rinchen> after the refresh, looks good to me...
<Rinchen> if you're happy with it boredandblogging, go ahead and pub it
<boredandblogging> published.
<Rinchen> sweet, thanks
<boredandblogging> np
