| pips1 | I mean, is he online in some other channel? :-) | 12:52 |
| newz2000 | hey pips1, just a min and I'll be able to talk | 13:48 |
| pips1 | newz2000: ah, good timing | 14:01 |
| newz2000 | hey pips1 | 14:02 |
| pips1 | hi | 14:02 |
| newz2000 | I'm back, what's up? | 14:02 |
| pips1 | how is it going? | 14:02 |
| newz2000 | oh busy, fun, exciting, that type of stuff. :-) | 14:02 |
| newz2000 | and you? | 14:02 |
| pips1 | I'm organising someone from the edubuntu volunteers to help out with updating edubuntu.org for release tomorrow. Unfortuately, I busy with work all day tomorrow :-( | 14:03 |
| pips1 | looks like i found someone to help out | 14:03 |
| newz2000 | ok, cool | 14:03 |
| pips1 | his nick is nubae | 14:03 |
| pips1 | he has been volunteering lots of documentation for LTSP | 14:04 |
| pips1 | He can give RichEd a hand with publishing the release notes, etc. tomorrow | 14:05 |
| newz2000 | ok, my plan is that we'll update your include file so that the download page's links get updated automatically | 14:05 |
| pips1 | great | 14:05 |
| pips1 | if you keep the same name, you won't even need to login to drupal on our site | 14:06 |
| newz2000 | thats what I'll do then | 14:06 |
| pips1 | btw, I noticed a new user account in drupal with siteadmin rights.. this is news to me.. have you been in touch with anyone / know of someone new to look after the edubuntu.org site? | 14:07 |
| pips1 | his user name is 'tirion' | 14:07 |
| newz2000 | no, I don't know what that is | 14:08 |
| newz2000 | that is concerning | 14:08 |
| pips1 | perhaps this user is https://launchpad.net/~tirion | 14:08 |
| pips1 | hmm | 14:09 |
| pips1 | I'll ask RichEd, perhaps he knows. | 14:09 |
| pips1 | newz2000: meet Nubae | 14:20 |
| pips1 | Nubae: meet newz2000 | 14:20 |
| pips1 | :-) | 14:21 |
| Nubae | hi newz2000 | 14:21 |
| newz2000 | hi Nubae, nice to meet you | 14:21 |
| Nubae | same | 14:21 |
| pips1 | newz2000: Nubae has kindly agreed to help out for tomorrows release updates on edubuntu.org | 14:21 |
| newz2000 | cool. do you have everything you need to login to the site and get it updated? | 14:21 |
| pips1 | I'll talk him through it, but in case he needs some expert help, I just thought i'd introduce the two of you | 14:22 |
| Nubae | ok, Im logged in to the edubuntu.org site | 14:22 |
| pips1 | Nubae: I just promoted you to siteadmin :-) | 14:22 |
| newz2000 | I'm happy to help | 14:22 |
| Nubae | seems quite straight forward... | 14:22 |
| pips1 | right | 14:22 |
| Nubae | so Ill create 2 new pages, one for download, another for release notes | 14:23 |
| Nubae | right? | 14:23 |
| Nubae | I guess I can copy the old ones and base them on that | 14:23 |
| pips1 | Nubae: I normally create a new page and prepare all html there, and then once everything is ready and the official release announcement mail on the mailing list is ready to go, I change the /Download alias to point to the new page (node) | 14:23 |
| Nubae | ok, sounds good | 14:24 |
| pips1 | are you familiar with the 'path alias' settings screen in drupal? | 14:24 |
| Nubae | link? | 14:24 |
| pips1 | '/admin/build/path' | 14:24 |
| pips1 | http://www.edubuntu.org/admin/build/path | 14:25 |
| Nubae | ok got it | 14:25 |
| pips1 | it's number four in the list | 14:25 |
| pips1 | just change the node number to the new page node number | 14:25 |
| Nubae | right, with u so far | 14:26 |
| Nubae | release notes is just a new page right? | 14:26 |
| Nubae | and I guess there is also news/release, or is that a link to releasenotes? | 14:27 |
| pips1 | release notes is just a new page, correct | 14:27 |
| Nubae | ok news/releasenotes and realeasenotes seem to be different pages | 14:28 |
| pips1 | you will have to create a new alias with a url that will be part of the announcement mail... riched needs to tell you what that url is... it should be coordinated with the other sites ubuntu.com, kubuntu.org etc | 14:28 |
| pips1 | brb my son is unhappy | 14:28 |
| Nubae | ok :-) | 14:28 |
| pips1 | Nubae: i'm back | 14:40 |
| pips1 | so RichEd will send you the release notes as plain text by email, and then you dress it up as html adding the links, etc. | 14:41 |
| pips1 | now, for the download page: you can really already get started on that. just copy over the current one and change the release number, etc | 14:42 |
| Nubae | ok | 14:43 |
| Nubae | gonna go eat and then I'll dive in | 14:43 |
| pips1 | Nubae: there is a section that has lots of links to download mirror sites.. this list is created by a script on the server that newz2000 wrote for us. newz2000 will update that script on the server so it will have the new release urls.. | 14:43 |
| Nubae | ok, and these urls will be where? | 14:44 |
| Nubae | already linked in edubuntu.org? | 14:44 |
| pips1 | so basically, don't worry about the mirror links, they will appear as long as you keep the bit of code that includes the script from newz2000. | 14:45 |
| pips1 | it starts with "<!-- BEGIN MIRROR LIST --> <?php ..." | 14:45 |
| Nubae | ah ok, gotcha | 14:45 |
| pips1 | that will include all those links dynamically. | 14:45 |
| pips1 | Nubae: thanks a lot for helping out! | 14:45 |
| Nubae | no probs... | 14:46 |
| Nubae | I've been meaning to update some of the content anyway, thats the reason why I orginally got the editor account | 14:46 |
| Nubae | lots of stuff talks of 5.10 and 6.10 ;-) | 14:46 |
| pips1 | great | 14:47 |
| Nubae | till when is dapper supported? | 14:47 |
| pips1 | In case you want to get in touch with me: https://launchpad.net/~philipp.schroeder | 14:47 |
| Nubae | ok bookmarked | 14:47 |
| pips1 | enjoy your meal! I'll try to get in touch tomorrow, as soon as i'm done with my work meetings, etc | 14:48 |
