[12:51] <pips1> hi all
[12:52] <pips1> where do I find newz2000 ?
[12:52] <pips1> I mean, is he online in some other channel? :-)
[13:48] <newz2000> hey pips1, just a min and I'll be able to talk
[14:01] <pips1> newz2000: ah, good timing
[14:02] <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?
[14:03] <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
[14:04] <pips1> he has been volunteering lots of documentation for LTSP
[14:05] <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
[14:06] <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
[14:07] <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'
[14:08] <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
[14:09] <pips1> hmm
[14:09] <pips1> I'll ask RichEd, perhaps he knows.
[14:20] <pips1> newz2000: meet Nubae
[14:20] <pips1> Nubae: meet newz2000
[14:21] <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?
[14:22] <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
[14:23] <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)
[14:24] <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'
[14:25] <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
[14:26] <Nubae> right, with u so far
[14:26] <Nubae> release notes is just a new page right?
[14:27] <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
[14:28] <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 :-)
[14:40] <pips1> Nubae: i'm back
[14:41] <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.
[14:42] <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
[14:43] <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..
[14:44] <Nubae> ok, and these urls will be where?
[14:44] <Nubae> already linked in edubuntu.org?
[14:45] <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!
[14:46] <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 ;-)
[14:47] <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
