| nhandler | pleia2: Let me know when you are ready | 00:42 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | nhandler: now is good :) | 00:42 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | sounds scary | 00:42 |
| * nlsthzn-at-work watches | 00:42 | |
| nlsthzn-at-work | popcorn ready | 00:42 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 00:43 |
| pleia2 | er, how do I refresh a bzr branch? | 00:43 |
| nhandler | pleia2: Just bzr pull | 00:43 |
| pleia2 | thanks | 00:43 |
| nhandler | Once you update, make sure you toss your login info into the fridge script (right near the top) | 00:44 |
| pleia2 | there | 00:45 |
| * nlsthzn-at-work finds this movie boring... he can see the people talking but it is all foreign... back to work... | 00:46 | |
| nhandler | Next, edit the wiki page to remove all of the comments, the WIP, and check for cammelcases that don't have `` | 00:47 |
| pleia2 | oh right, for the audience: all the scripts used by the team are available at: https://code.launchpad.net/~uwn | 00:48 |
| nhandler | bzr branch lp:uwn | 00:48 |
| rww | oh good, you have LP set up properly. the Planet Ubuntu setup drives me nuts :P | 00:49 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: done | 00:49 |
| nhandler | rww: That is mainly due to the fact that the branch was around before a lot of improvements were made to LP code, and nobody has bothered to fix it | 00:50 |
| nhandler | pleia2: Run the publish script with 227 as an argument | 00:50 |
| nhandler | You should get the URL for the fridge post as output | 00:50 |
| nhandler | You will also have an issues/227 directory | 00:51 |
| pleia2 | elizabeth@r2d2:~/uwn$ ./publish-uwn.pl 227 | 00:52 |
| pleia2 | http://fridge.ubuntu.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=3977&action=edit | 00:52 |
| pleia2 | elizabeth@r2d2:~/uwn$ | 00:52 |
| nhandler | You should then be able to copy/paste the files the script generated to the appropriate places | 00:52 |
| pleia2 | cool | 00:52 |
| pleia2 | alright, these look good - off to start publishing! | 00:54 |
| nhandler | Thanks pleia2. Let me know if you have any problems/questions | 00:54 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | Using scripts make things easier... but for those (like myself) that have never really used them it sounds daunting | 00:54 |
| nhandler | I really should add support for a config file that specifies the login credentials for the different sites | 00:55 |
| nhandler | I also should find a nice way to interact with the forum | 00:55 |
| nhandler | nlsthzn-at-work: The scripts are rather straight forward. Try running it yourself | 00:56 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | nhandler: will do as soon as I can drop the -at-work part from my name thanks :) | 00:57 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: the forum posting has lots of whitespace between sections | 01:01 |
| pleia2 | (yours last week did too, compared to earlier ones) | 01:01 |
| pleia2 | replacing \n\n with \n fixes it | 01:03 |
| pleia2 | The new edition of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue227 | 01:12 |
| pleia2 | (I really don't like spamming the other channels :P) | 01:13 |
| nhandler | pleia2: I've only been posting that announcement in here (not the other irc channels) | 01:14 |
| pleia2 | me too | 01:14 |
| nhandler | pleia2: I'm also not sure what the extra whitespace is from. The publish script just uses reformat.py. I could easily add a regex to replace \n\n with \n, but I'd like to determine why that is necessary | 01:15 |
| * pleia2 nods | 01:16 | |
| pleia2 | I just did the search/replace in vim for now, was all good | 01:17 |
| pleia2 | might be good to have some stdout that spits out some info | 01:17 |
| pleia2 | like for forums you need to do some sticky steps | 01:17 |
| * pleia2 forgets where that's documented | 01:17 | |
| * pleia2 does wiki stuffs | 01:18 | |
| nhandler | I'm still hoping to find a more automated way for the forum. | 01:19 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | sweet... thanks for all the hardwork in getting another edition out... (downside form me iis I have basically read everything already) :0 | 01:22 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | :p | 01:22 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 01:24 |
| nhandler | Thanks a lot for handling the publishing pleia2 | 01:25 |
| pleia2 | thanks for writing these awesome scripts :) | 01:25 |
| pleia2 | akgraner may just come kill you for not doing it sooner | 01:25 |
| pleia2 | :D | 01:25 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | yes shame... :p | 01:25 |
| pleia2 | release in 30 minutes, we haz it | 01:26 |
| pleia2 | (really, more like 20) | 01:26 |
| akgraner | hehe - no nhandler's will be killed - I am just glad the team has the power of nhandler's awesome scripts now :-) | 01:26 |
| akgraner | see another GREAT thing to come from moving everything to the public channel...yay! | 01:27 |
| pleia2 | elizabeth@r2d2:~/uwn/issues$ ls 227 | 01:27 |
| pleia2 | forum.post microblog.txt ubuntu-news-team.email | 01:27 |
| pleia2 | loco-contacts.email ubuntu-news.email ubuntu-translators.email | 01:27 |
| pleia2 | ^^ you just copy stuff! | 01:27 |
| pleia2 | well, you need to sanity-check a little :) | 01:27 |
| rww | now we just need to wait for nhandler to write scripts to scrape planet and the popular aggregation sites, autogenerate summaries... | 01:27 |
| * nlsthzn-at-work ponders a countdown timer... one that you can get excited about once a week rather than once every six months | 01:27 | |
| pleia2 | rww: I think scripting a pleia2-based nagging-people-to-write-summaries bot would be easier | 01:28 |
| akgraner | sweeeetttt! | 01:29 |
| pleia2 | I'll just write an irssi script to post the google doc in channel 6 times every weekend begging for summaries ;) | 01:29 |
| rww | hehe | 01:29 |
| * nlsthzn-at-work can see a lot os spam in the future | 01:29 | |
| pleia2 | template should be up to date now too | 01:29 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | *of | 01:29 |
| nhandler | rww: I started working on a daily newsletter that was 100% automated, but I never finished it | 01:35 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | I see a strange space in "In This Issue" on the wiki... 4 points, space then the rest... small issue... | 01:36 |
| rww | nlsthzn-at-work: the wiki style has odd spacing issues with bullet points for me | 01:53 |
| pleia2 | yeah, that happens when you have a camelcase word, or pretty much anything even slightly unusual | 01:54 |
| pleia2 | the theme is a bit of a disaster :) | 01:54 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | yes, it seems to be only a wiki issue :) | 01:54 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | not the biggest issue at least :) | 01:54 |
| * nlsthzn waves | 05:50 | |
| * philipballew doesnt high five | 05:58 | |
| nlsthzn | :p | 06:08 |
| pleia2 | oops, should dmb restaffing email have gone to fridge? | 20:09 |
| nhandler | pleia2: Probably. Want me to toss it up? | 21:02 |
| pleia2 | sure | 21:09 |
