[16:52:01] <sakana> STS301, yes [16:52:11] <STS301> hmm, want do I wanted to say, well yes [16:52:57] <+HeliosReds> I'm using SUSEnews for our translation now. ;-) [16:53:10] <+HeliosReds> Any progress ? [16:53:11] <STS301> I finished the BETA in Juli, uploaded already somebugfixes, thanks to sakana, HeliosReds and |saigkill| [16:53:17] <sakana> We(zh_tw) too [16:53:47] <STS301> yes, as you might see on my twitter page, I was recently working on the ProxySettings [16:54:09] <STS301> For thoose who don't know how it works, I'll explain [16:55:26] <+HeliosReds> javier_: Are you translating weekly news into spanish ? [16:55:50] <javier_> nope, from to time to i review the translations [16:56:05] <javier_> that's what i do [16:56:28] <+HeliosReds> So all translators sub team here know how to use SUSEnews, right ? [16:56:52] <STS301> it downloads the translate.ini from here (http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/Translations#INI-Files), it replaces the words into the wanted language and writes an output where you can easier translate [16:57:10] <javier_> interesting [16:57:39] <STS301> so you don't have to replace the titles and so on by yourself, just the translate.ini has to be written into the wanted language [16:57:51] <sakana> STS301, I will write down the step by step with traditional Chinese and Englsih on my blog and wiki [16:58:07] <+HeliosReds> SUSEnews is also available via OBS. http://software.opensuse.org/search?p=1&baseproject=ALL&q=SUSEnews [16:58:25] <STS301> sakana: ok, thanks, please tell me if it is finished [16:59:14] <STS301> swyear and saigkill also uploaded SUSEnews into the OBS, (I was never able to upload it, I did always some kind of mistake) [16:59:29] <sakana> STS301, okay, I will have some day off next week~~ I will do it :-) [17:00:38] <|saigkill|> I've made you've made an good piece of software. I like it [17:01:13] <+HeliosReds> Since the format of original newsletter is updated a little, we have to update our translate.ini, though. ;-) [17:01:38] <|saigkill|> How many Languages we have ATM in the INI? [17:01:49] <STS301> you can also download the source from here (http://linux301.wordpress.com/2009/07/11/susenews-0-1-beta1-released/) and compile it, also a link to the susenews mailinglist is there, where you will be informed about any bugs or releases [17:02:08] <STS301> HeliosReds: 9 [17:02:21] <STS301> ähh, saigkill [17:02:27] <|saigkill|> Aha. :-) [17:03:01] <+HeliosReds> http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/Translations#INI-Files [17:03:22] <+HeliosReds> Some of them are not updated frequently. [17:04:05] <STS301> yes, if the application doesn't replace anything right, please see if something isn't ok with your translate.ini, the only char witch isn't allowed is "\", because they are needed for the translation script from jan (dl9pf) [17:05:35] <STS301> things who are not working are the statistics (because I have problems logging on into ichain), uploading the news and uploading the "Translation not finished sign" from HeliosReds [17:06:35] <sakana> heliosReds any tool to sync gobby docs ? [17:06:39] <STS301> I think that was it [17:06:51] <sakana> heliosReds rsync ? [17:06:56] <|saigkill|> STS301: Thanks for your statement [17:07:54] <|saigkill|> HeliosReds: If you would like, you can make your Topics [17:07:58] <STS301> 1.2.1) Load sharing of editing original en newsletter during Jan's 'vacation from newsletter'. [17:08:23] <+HeliosReds> OK. [17:09:15] <+HeliosReds> Since Jan is busy ATM, and Sascha has to work hard, I wnated to help him, [17:09:25] <+HeliosReds> wanted to [17:10:50] <+HeliosReds> Imagin, if Sascha will catch a cold, Weekly News won't be published any more. [17:11:29] <sakana> heliosReds Agree ~~ [17:11:37] <STS301> HeliosReds: I make the Tips/Tricks from #86 again [17:12:29] <+HeliosReds> If someone is busy, then others will help him -- that's the TEAM. [17:13:33] <sakana> Yes, ^^ [17:13:34] <+HeliosReds> So, |saigkill||, are there any other things we can help for editing newsletter ? [17:14:56] <|saigkill|> HeliosReds: an good thing to do is the Events Section. I thought that we could create an new Job. And this guy collects Events from new.o.o and Ambassador/Events and the Minutes from the Events. What are you meaning? [17:15:35] <STS301> I thought you will take hofi for that? [17:15:47] <|saigkill|> Some events aren't in the news.o.o so our guy can collect Meettings in Mailinglists [17:16:06] <STS301> let him do that ;) [17:16:18] <|saigkill|> STS301: Thats an good Idea. I'll ask him [17:16:28] <+HeliosReds> STS301: Who is he ? [17:16:45] <|saigkill|> An new guy, who wants to translate to de [17:17:01] <+HeliosReds> That's a good idea. [17:17:35] <|saigkill|> HeliosReds: And i'm very happy that you prepare some posts in the dashboard. It is a great help [17:18:15] <STS301> Okuro is his name I think [17:18:26] <|saigkill|> Is okuro an japanese Name? [17:18:29] <+HeliosReds> |saigkill|: Bitte, Schön. ;-) [17:18:53] <sakana> |saigkill|, HeliosReds -- I think the point is .....tell us .....what can we do and how can we do, Right ? ^++^ [17:18:57] <+HeliosReds> Maybe some anime characters name. [17:19:27] <STS301> saigkill: yes, he took his nickname from a japanese astronome or physiker [17:20:07] <+HeliosReds> sakana: That's right. [17:20:19] <|saigkill|> I would say, that we all can collect articles. We (HeliosReds) had prepared an page with the same sections. If we all post there i can just make copy & pase [17:21:12] <+HeliosReds> Dashboard: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/Dashboard [17:21:12] <sakana> |saigkill|, the method for collect articles is the most import point^^ [17:22:30] <|saigkill|> I collect my Articles via RSS. If you would like i can publish my opml File for import in Akregator ;-) [17:22:56] <STS301> me too [17:23:16] <sakana> I collect via RSS too [17:23:34] <|saigkill|> In my view the easyest way [17:23:37] <sakana> so.....an idea is.......use google to share RSS ? [17:23:38] <+HeliosReds> Just upload the articles you found interesting as candidates. [17:24:06] <|saigkill|> If you format that in Dashboard like in our weekly news, that would be great [17:24:13] <sakana> I remember Google Reader can share to the other [17:24:54] <+HeliosReds> Then Sascha will do some screening which to use/not to use. All right ? [17:25:20] <|saigkill|> sakana: I'll try it out [17:25:49] <|saigkill|> HeliosReds: Yes, i thinkt so too [17:26:21] <|saigkill|> Then Satorus next Topic: 1.2.2) Introducing the upcoming events all over the world (e.c. Nicaragua/Opensuse Day@UCA from Ambassador/Events). New corner ? In "Upcoming Events/Meeting" corner ? [17:26:56] <+HeliosReds> Is it related to AI 1.3) Creating New Job: Past/Upcoming Events with Ambassador/Events ? [17:27:03] <STS301> one could create an RSS Collection and export and upload it [17:27:19] <|saigkill|> STS301: Good Idea [17:27:39] <|saigkill|> HeliosReds: I think this is the same... [17:27:51] <STS301> but I don't know if Akregator and some GNOME Clients use the same filetype [17:28:43] <mrmoneyc> STS301: opml ? [17:28:44] <+HeliosReds> STS301: Will you volunteer to search the good way ? [17:28:50] <|saigkill|> I think GNOME uses opml too [17:29:24] <mrmoneyc> Liferea also uses opml [17:29:52] <|saigkill|> mrmoneyc: Is Lifearea from GNOME? [17:30:02] <mrmoneyc> |saigkill|: yes [17:30:34] <+HeliosReds> For "Upcoming Events", we need to call Ambassdors to upload their local events to Ambassador/Events page agian and again. [17:30:54] <sakana> heliosReds Yes [17:30:57] <|saigkill|> HeliosReds: That is right. [17:31:28] <+HeliosReds> Even if the event is small, it might be uploaded. [17:31:32] <sakana> HeliosReds Maybe all Ambassador must have plurk/twitter and share to each other ^^ [17:33:48] <|saigkill|> sakana: then we need a guy, that follows twitter for Ambassador events [17:34:25] <+HeliosReds> The problem is: who will be 'the guy'... [17:34:33] <sakana> |saigkill|, I use plurk everyday [17:34:49] <|saigkill|> sakana: What is plurk? [17:35:14] <sakana> http://www.plurk.com/sakanamax/invite [17:35:26] <soyines> plurk....easy and popular [17:35:50] <sakana> Like twitter ~~ It also can publish to twitter and facebook [17:36:37] <|saigkill|> sakana: Hmm very interesting. Maybe we can put this to our SocNet Site [17:36:45] <mrmoneyc> maybe plurk only popular in Taiwan [17:36:53] <soyines> haha [17:36:54] <|saigkill|> I've never heard about that before [17:37:23] <+HeliosReds> Maybe we need to have Ambassadors meeting in the near future, so that we can discuss these issues with other Ambassadors. [17:37:58] <sakana> heliosReds Yes, we should have meeting ~~ But the point is Zonker is very busy [17:38:46] <sakana> Plurk is relative easy to twitter .....^^ It can take close to each other [17:39:10] <|saigkill|> HeliosReds: Joe told me that he focus the Ambassadors in the next year. :-) [17:39:29] <sakana> HEliosReds |saigkill| Oh My God ~~ [17:39:32] <+HeliosReds> OK. [17:40:20] <|saigkill|> I think we motivate all Ambassadors to post his Events on news.o.o. So all can see that [17:40:33] <sakana> HeliosReds |saigkill| I have a question -- Does Joe ~~ one of Novell's employee? [17:40:55] <+HeliosReds> sakana: Yes, ATM. [17:40:55] <|saigkill|> sakana: Yes. He is the Community Manager from Novell [17:41:37] <sakana> My friend at Novell Taiwan ~~ Can't find his name in their system [17:41:56] <|saigkill|> Joe Brockmeier aka zonker [17:42:42] <sakana> ok [17:42:45] <|saigkill|> I think we can go to our next topic, right? [17:43:01] <sakana> Because I ask some resource from Novell Taiwan like http://lh3.ggpht.com/_2LkeEOoxyf0/SkcE6N_jkNI/AAAAAAAAOI8/8gQZwp86Twc/s640/DSC02195.JPG [17:43:05] <+HeliosReds> He also has a mail address jbrockmeier@novell.com [17:43:50] <sakana> heliosReds Thanks you [17:43:50] <|saigkill|> Now HeliosReds next statement :-D 1.2.3.) Categorize articles in 'Tips and Tricks' and 'On the Web' into sub-categories. [17:43:58] STS301 [n=STS301@opensuse/member/STS301] heißt nun STS301_not_there [17:44:29] <+HeliosReds> Yes, that's an idea that I came up to. [17:46:02] <+HeliosReds> Since the numbers of the articles have been increased, I think it better to sub-categorize "Tips and Tricks" and "On the Web" coener. [17:46:41] <+HeliosReds> See for example: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/Meetings/Topics_current#Meeting_22_08_09 [17:46:43] <soyines> yes, that's easy to search [17:46:46] <|saigkill|> I've just seen you proposal. And i think Sub categorizing is an good idea [17:47:39] <+HeliosReds> How do you think about those sub-categories ? [17:47:54] <+HeliosReds> Are there any good ideas ? [17:48:34] <+HeliosReds> *any other good ideas ? [17:48:45] <|saigkill|> Yes i like it. We can add the new Subcategories to our template [17:49:01] <sakana> I like it too [17:49:12] <+HeliosReds> :-) [17:49:38] <|saigkill|> HeliosReds: What do you mean with "warning"? What's the content? [17:50:36] <+HeliosReds> I mean, security related issues, that are not yet anounced via -security-announce list. [17:51:03] <STS301_not_there> how are they code snippets in Tips and Tricks, do you think they are reasonable [17:51:05] <|saigkill|> Security holes? [17:51:43] <+HeliosReds> Yes. For example: New vulnerability was found in Acrobat Reader... [17:52:12] <|saigkill|> HeliosReds: aha. ok. [17:52:25] <|saigkill|> We can just vote for that. [17:52:33] <|saigkill|> My choose: +1 [17:52:43] <STS301_not_there> -1 [17:53:15] <+HeliosReds> STS301_not_there: What makes you against ? [17:53:27] <sakana> +1 [17:53:52] <STS301_not_there> uha, just read Adobe Reader, sry : +1 [17:54:01] <|saigkill|> Hehehe [17:54:58] <|saigkill|> Any other votes? [17:55:08] <+HeliosReds> STS301_not_there: I think code snippets are suitable for "For Developers and Programmers". ;-) [17:55:19] <soyines> +1 [17:55:21] <Welong> +1 [17:55:25] <mrmoneyc> +1 [17:55:25] <sakana> mrmoneyc, How about u? [17:55:28] <sakana> ahah [17:55:33] <mrmoneyc> hehe [17:56:01] <|saigkill|> Hmm. I think without counting it is clear :-) [17:56:17] <STS301_not_there> HeliosReds: yes, it avoids the combination of normal users and programmers [17:57:13] <|saigkill|> I think too. We can place it in "For Developers and Programmers" [17:57:37] <|saigkill|> Who would like to change our Template? [17:57:58] <STS301_not_there> me, but I don't know how ;) [17:58:10] <+HeliosReds> |saigkill|: OK. I'll do that. [17:58:28] <|saigkill|> HeliosReds: OK. Thats your spoup ;-) [17:58:28] STS301_not_there is away now, if anyone would like to send me a message, twitter, mail or write me directly on [17:58:42] <+HeliosReds> For the next issue, OK ? [17:59:06] <|saigkill|> Yes. ATM I'm using Template1 in our Folder [17:59:30] <|saigkill|> http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/NewTemplate1 [17:59:55] <|saigkill|> Maybe we can change our "Light" Template too... [18:00:08] <+HeliosReds> Should I modify the template, or make new one ? [18:00:27] <|saigkill|> You can modify the present template [18:01:17] <+HeliosReds> OK. Then I'll revice both Full and Light versions. [18:01:22] <+HeliosReds> revise [18:01:28] <|saigkill|> OK. Thank you very much [18:01:47] <|saigkill|> Before we close our Meeting i would ask for any questions? [18:03:30] <sakana> ^^ [18:03:43] <soyines> no [18:03:47] <Welong> no [18:03:48] <sakana> how can we get close?
