<jdub> lca2007.linux.org.au/Programme
<jdub> some interesting ubuntu-relevant stuff there
<jdub> might be ripe for fridge pimping
<jdub> now that the programme is out and regos are open
<jdub> *swoosh*
<jdub> oh, and the new drupal is quite cool
<jdub> would improve some fridge things upgrading to it

<robitaille> I have added in the queue small articles for UbuntuNews #20, and the Behind Ubuntu interview of raphink.
<robitaille> but for the later  I can't seem to be able to display a picture in the story  There must be a trick, but it escape me this late in the evening...

<nixternal> we need to get something from Mark concerning the recent partnership of Microsoft and Novell, that gives Microsoft direct access to SuSE to help work with Windows and to also offer support to SuSE...is this a move that could hurt Novell and SuSE in the open source arena, and possibly help Ubuntu succede in a new market?

<nixternal> new article in the queue for review!
<nixternal> damn you robitaille, i think we did it at the same time
<nixternal> hahahahaha
<nixternal> nm, you did an "In The Press"..i did a write up of that same thing...
<robitaille> nixternal:  at least yours has good quotes in it.  I'm reading it at this moment...will approve soon
<robitaille> then delete mine
* Burgundavia realized he needs to get going on this weeks UWN
<nixternal> ya, i just whipped that up
<nixternal> i read the post from jdub and liked the artile
<nixternal> no, yours is a link
<nixternal> or did i miss something?
<robitaille> not really...I think we try not too have duplicate of stuff.
<nixternal> robitaille: you are good, you did a weblink..so they can go hand in hand
<nixternal> when are the release dates for the UWN nowadays?
<nixternal> weekends, tuesday, thursdays, anyday?
<robitaille> Burgundavia: ^^^
<nixternal> yes, but that weblink will last longer on the front page though, after a few stories goes by, the article isn't on the front page, but the weblink is..and that is a good interview that needs to brew for a while ;)
<Burgundavia> nixternal: normally Tuesday, but I kind of got behind this week
<robitaille> nixternal: it's up
<nixternal> rocking!
<nixternal> was the english in it decent?
<nixternal> i have been in a very raw writing mind lately
<robitaille> nixternal:  you are asking someone whose english is not his native tongue :)
<robitaille> look fine from here...
<nixternal> heh, mine is native, and i still suck at it ;)

<Burgundavia> robitaille: are you an admin on the fridge machine itself?
<Burgundavia> can you see why password reset emails are failing?
<robitaille> Burgundavia:  yes I am an admin.  Not sure why that would fail.  Let me look
<robitaille> oh...you mean the server, not the mailing list.  I'm just an admin on the ML
* robitaille remember  jdub resetting manually my password a long time ago because of that same problem
<robitaille> do you want me to reset your password? it seems I can do it
<Burgundavia> thanks
<Burgundavia> robitaille: fridge is pure html, correct?

<Burgundavia> anybody around?
<beuno> yup
<Burgundavia> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1209
<beuno> looking
<beuno> and, btw, Burgundavia, thanks for working so hard on reporting  :D
<Burgundavia> no worries
<Burgundavia> I hope people are reading it
<beuno> is it ready to go live?
<Burgundavia> yes, if you proof it
<Burgundavia> remember to clear the time stamp
<beuno> Burgundavia, done and done
<Burgundavia> thanks
<beuno> Burgundavia, np, get some rest!
#ubuntu-fridge 2007-11-02
<Burgundavia> another alive?
<beuno> Burgundavia, yeap, hey
<Burgundavia> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1211
<Burgundavia> jsut a quick check and it can go live
<beuno> Burgundavia, looking
<Burgundavia> are these reports helping you feel more like youare involved and it is less opaque?
<beuno> Burgundavia, wasn't exactly what I had in mind (video is really unsubstitutable), but it does give a general idea on what is going on. My main concern was understanding *why* certain decision here made, the rest you can gather from blueprints
<beuno> but I do apreciate your work, and a lot of people are happy about it too
<Burgundavia> that is good
<Burgundavia> try and get the readership up
<beuno> the UDS is much more then jono sleeping this time  :D
<beuno> are you having a good time?
<Burgundavia> yes, but I am sick
<beuno> oh...  how unfortunate
<Burgundavia> I usually don't get sick, so this sucks
<Madpilot> s/sick/hungover
<beuno> I can imagine...  I got sick at debconf too, but an unhealthy amount of drugs helped me through it  :D
<beuno> heh, hey Madpilot
<Burgundavia> hey Madpilot
<Burgundavia> no, I am actually sick
<Burgundavia> running nose, etc.
<Madpilot> take drugs. then drink beer.
<Madpilot> repeat as needed.
<beuno> Burgundavia, live
<Burgundavia> Madpilot: ype
<Burgundavia> beuno: thanks
<Burgundavia> as per usual
<Burgundavia> we need to get more fridge editors
<beuno> Burgundavia, np!
<beuno> Burgundavia, aren't we like 15 editors?
<Burgundavia> please look at the first 3 pages
<Burgundavia> how many editors do you see?
<beuno> 2 very nice editors
<Burgundavia> 3, actually
<Burgundavia> myself, you and nali
<beuno> right, although I'm sure boredandblogging will eventually get involved beyond UWN, it took me a while too
<Burgundavia> well, tbh, I want to keep boredandblogging happy with the UWN, so it doesn't die again
<beuno> you're in the US, send him candy  :D
<Burgundavia> I could do that
<beuno> you should, it's inexpensive, and will get him through a good 2 months of UWNs
<beuno> I do think at least one more person should start working on UWN
<beuno> to keep up the pace
<Burgundavia> right
<Burgundavia> yes, we need that
<beuno> maybe a nice post on the fridge about UWN looking for contributors and Fridge for editors might stir things a bit
<Burgundavia> yep
<Burgundavia> write one up and put it in the queue
<beuno> I might draft something up tomorrow if I have time, run it by you guys
<Burgundavia> we can post something like that post UDS
<beuno> :D
<beuno> ok, time to sleep
<beuno> hope you get better Burgundavia!
<Burgundavia> I will
<Burgundavia> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1219
<Burgundavia> please proof and make live
<beuno> Burgundavia, live
<Burgundavia> anybody alive?

<Burgundavia> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1222

<beuno> Burgundavia, cool, feeling better?
<Burgundavia> somewhat
<Burgundavia> hey Madpilot
<Madpilot> hi Burgundavia
<Rinchen> drat I missed burg
#ubuntu-fridge 2007-11-05
<Burgundavia> hmm, it is said to see the slow devolution of the Freespire board
<Burgundavia> sad, rather
#ubuntu-fridge 2007-11-06
<Burgundavia> hey Rinchen
<Rinchen> howdy Burgundavia
<Burgundavia> how is allhands?
<Rinchen> Burgundavia, busy :-)
<Rinchen> but at least we have fun breaks
#ubuntu-fridge 2007-11-19
<Rinchen> nixternal, do you get the fridge-devel moderator messages?  I go in and clean them up a few times a week
#ubuntu-fridge 2007-11-20
<nixternal> they keep getting marked as spam, that's why I don't get them
<nixternal> I had to make the ubuntu-marketing list as spam so I would stop getting the messages from it since Burgundavia lost his pw for that list :)
<nixternal> and since I set it to spam, I miss a lot of the mod messages
<Burgundavia> nixternal: sorry
<Burgundavia> I also need to dig out my gpg key
<nixternal> haha, oh ya, your old desktop is burried
<Burgundavia> pretty much
#ubuntu-fridge 2007-11-26
<Burgundavia> anybody alive?
#ubuntu-fridge 2007-11-29
<jcastro> hi guys!
<Burgundavia> hey
<Burgundavia> just wondering what exactly you wanted to post in the calendar
<jcastro> I thought daniel wanted to have a MOTU Q+A session this friday
<jcastro> but I am unsure if it's supposed to be there because he wanted to do one weekly or if he wanted to do them explicitly.
<jcastro> unfortunately he's long asleep, but I will ask right away first thing tomorrow
<Burgundavia> right, ok
<jcastro> Burgundavia: my loco asks for official status tomorrow! big day!
<Burgundavia> guess I will have to vote against that
<jcastro> that would be awesome
<jcastro> "jorge should be killed, denied."
<Burgundavia> "clearly just another example of Canonical interfering the community"
<jcastro> clearly
<jcastro> ironically, our Loco was jammq, me, and other people
<jcastro> it was stricly a social thing
<jcastro> basically, "new ubuntu, time to go to the bar."
<jcastro> then we got flooded by new people
<jcastro> who had ideas about doing actual work
<jcastro> quite disturbing
<Burgundavia> did I tell you about the email I got, attacking Ubuntu for being nothing more than a drinking club?
<jcastro> (they've rocked since then)
<jcastro> yeah
<jcastro> I got that
