[ubuntu-marketing] Ubuntu QA Members
As the owner of the Ubuntu QA team I wanted to start recognizing people who are approved as members of the QA team. I have seen similar things done for the approval of Ubuntu members. However, the approval of people joining Ubuntu QA is an ongoing activity rather than a regularly scheduled one. Perhaps we could list new QA members in the Bug Stats section of Weekly Newsletter and rename the section to Bug Information? Please let me know your thoughts and when I would need to submit new members by to them make it into the weekly report.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Ubuntu Weekly News: Issue #35
Matt: I'm terribly sorry about that mistake, it seems I misunderstood it. Due to the lack of contributors to the UWN, I'm not sure it's going to be possible to do anything else then be extra careful. This is a weekly effort and it's very hard to find people that can commit to such a schedule. Maybe someone else has a better idea, but again, I apologize for the mistake, I'll make sure I triple check the headlines reflect as accurately as possible what really is going on.

It is an experimental filesystem which was never part of Feisty in the first place; its authors recommend against using it for purposes other than development. Something similar happened with the compiz announcement, where in Issue #30 the headline was "No Beryl or Compiz for Feisty" when in fact Feisty brings great improvements in this area: compiz is installed by default and easier than ever to enable. I like the fact that UWN is informal and lightweight in its processes; it's perhaps the only way to keep pace with events in the project and in the community. However, I'm concerned about the effect of misleading headlines, especially when they are reprinted in publications which are read by people who don't follow project events first-hand. What do you think we can do to help avoid further problems like this? -- - mdz -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing

[ubuntu-marketing] Italian translation of weekly news
Hi there, I've noticed that there is a link on the UWN homepage to an italian translation. However, the Italian community already produces a version of the newsletter on its own wiki: http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/NewsletterItaliana This newsletter incorporates your weekly newsletter and adds Italian specific news. It would be better to link to that, rather than encouraging duplicated work by arranging for a separate translation in Italian on the main wiki.
