[00:51] <nhandler> akgraner: I'll add that script to the bzr branch
[00:57] <nhandler> akgraner: Does http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/290/can-someone-whip-up-a-quick-script-for-uwn/483#483 actually work for you?
[01:31] <akgraner> nhandler, I haven't tried the new one
[01:31] <akgraner> the old one did but gave me some weird errors
[01:32] <akgraner> I'll try the new in just a few minutes
[02:15] <nhandler> akgraner: Get a chance to try it?
[02:16] <akgraner> I knew I forgot someone  - one sec let me change it out
[02:18] <nhandler> akgraner: Hmm...Installing xsel made it run. I thought he removed that part from the code. Let me look
[02:20] <akgraner> yep it works
[02:21] <akgraner> I just the last one and it's working
[02:22] <akgraner> I named it stackstats.py on my machine but you can call it whatever
[02:22] <nhandler> akgraner: I figured out the issue.
[02:22] <akgraner> awesome :-)
[02:22] <akgraner> thank you
[02:23] <nhandler> They didn't have a shebang line, so running it without 'python' failed
[02:24] <akgraner> hmm wonder why it worked for me
[02:25] <akgraner> I know why - I left it in from the old script
[02:27] <nhandler> akgraner: It is now in lp:uwn
[02:27] <akgraner> AWESOME!!!!!
[02:28] <nhandler> :)
[02:28] <akgraner> nhandler, in your band do you all have a "pit crew"
[07:43] <alourie> good morning
[13:32] <alourie> hello
[13:48] <akgraner> Good Morning :-)
[13:54] <nigelb> Morning akgraner
[13:55] <akgraner> Good Morning
[23:01] <newz2000> hey, just relaying a message:
[23:01] <newz2000>  > stas: ok, btw, if somebody knows whom to ping about ubuntu-news.org, could you ask them to upgrade to lates wordpress theme
[23:03] <newz2000> stas can often be found in #ubuntu-website. He says there's an update to the theme framework.
[23:04] <nhandler> newz2000: Is the latest in the bzr branch? If so, I can do the update
[23:04] <newz2000> nhandler: would you mind hopping on #ubuntu-website and giving him a ping?
[23:04] <newz2000> he's there now
[23:15] <pleia2> hm, looks like the by line on old posts needs to be updated? (it was "admin" before but now they are all showing up as "boredandblogging")
[23:15] <pleia2> admin was better :)
[23:18] <nhandler> pleia2: boredandblogging posted them from his account. He has the username of 'admin' and set his account so that shows up. When I cleaned up the accounts, I changed it to 'boredandblogging' so that it is clear when he posts stuff (mainly in the future). Sadly, there isn't an easy way to set the old posts to a dummy account/the real accounts afaik
[23:18] <pleia2> :\
[23:19] <pleia2> could the old posts just be from a separate account like "fridge" or something?
[23:20] <nhandler> pleia2: Probably, but I'm not sure if we can easily transfer them other than deleting and re-importing them.
[23:20] <pleia2> ah, sucks
[23:20] <pleia2> maybe give boredandblogging a new account and keep this as legacy?
[23:21] <pleia2> just seems to do a pretty grievous disservice to all the folks who have contributed over the years, giving someone else credit
[23:22] <pleia2> a generic account at least shows a line in the sand for a migration
[23:22] <nhandler> pleia2: Does WP give the first user (admin) any additional special access?
[23:24] <pleia2> nope
[23:24] <pleia2> not like drupal
[23:26] <akgraner> hey all  - I just got off the phone with elmo and charlieS
[23:27] <nhandler> Any news akgraner ?
[23:27] <akgraner> Both of them will have SSH and Admin to ubuntu-news.org
[23:28] <akgraner> per elmo and charlie - they would like the opportunity to see if it will work for us (Fridge Team) on a Canonical Server - I expressed the pain points we had before and they are willing to work with us to overcome those issues
[23:28] <nhandler> akgraner: Might I ask what there reasoning was for having it on a Canonical server?
[23:29] <akgraner> so that no one can just up an run off with the keys to the kingdom
[23:29] <akgraner> or shut the site down etc
[23:30] <akgraner> they also said that it is not their policy to direct an ubuntu.com address to a site not hosted by Canonical
[23:30] <akgraner> so the workaround is - they will set up a test site - we review it - then they go live with it - we will still keep ubuntu-news.org up as well
[23:31] <akgraner> if we feel restricted or we aren't able to do what we need to do  - then we'll go back to ubuntu-news.org with the blessed re-direct
[23:31] <pleia2> cool
[23:31] <akgraner> that sounded like a win-win solution for us and Canonical
[23:32] <akgraner> I'm drafting the email now of my understanding after the call - is there anything I need to ask about or add
[23:33] <akgraner> also we will have a POC from CharlieS team throughout all of this - so we aren't let feeling  like we are hanging out in the cold
[23:33] <nhandler> akgraner: Besides having it hosted on a Canonical server, what changes to the fridge itself or the way we interact with it will change?
[23:33] <akgraner> s/let/left
[23:33] <akgraner> nothing
[23:33] <akgraner> or so they told me
[23:34] <akgraner> they don't want to limit the content we add  - the only issue will be widgets and plugins
[23:34] <akgraner> those will have to be blessed by the security team
[23:34] <akgraner> if they haven't been already
[23:34] <nhandler> akgraner: And have they inspected the current fridge yet to make sure we are good?
[23:35] <akgraner> I am giving the access in just a few minutes
[23:35] <akgraner> so in the meantime we keep doing what we are doing now on ubuntu-news.org
[23:36] <akgraner> so they can look at it from the code perspective... and let us know
[23:36] <nhandler> Alright. Thanks for the heads up akgraner. Please continue to keep us updated :)
[23:36] <pleia2> thanks akgraner :)
[23:38] <newz2000> good news akgraner, good work
[23:38] <akgraner> nhandler, pleia2 newz2000 I'm trying :-)
[23:38] <nhandler> akgraner: You are doing a nice job too :)
[23:38]  * nhandler will get the fridge theme updated once LP is back online
[23:38] <akgraner> thank you!
[23:39] <akgraner> also 100+ have replied to the survey
[23:46] <akgraner> about UWN
