[00:42] <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
[00:43] <pleia2> hehe
[00:43] <pleia2> er, how do I refresh a bzr branch?
[00:43] <nhandler> pleia2: Just bzr pull
[00:43] <pleia2> thanks
[00:44] <nhandler> Once you update, make sure you toss your login info into the fridge script (right near the top)
[00:45] <pleia2> there
[00:46]  * nlsthzn-at-work finds this movie boring... he can see the people talking but it is all foreign... back to work...
[00:47] <nhandler> Next, edit the wiki page to remove all of the comments, the WIP, and check for cammelcases that don't have ``
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <rww> oh good, you have LP set up properly. the Planet Ubuntu setup drives me nuts :P
[00:49] <pleia2> nhandler: done
[00:50] <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
[00:51] <nhandler> You will also have an issues/227 directory
[00:52] <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
[00:54] <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
[00:55] <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
[00:56] <nhandler> nlsthzn-at-work: The scripts are rather straight forward. Try running it yourself
[00:57] <nlsthzn-at-work> nhandler: will do as soon as I can drop the -at-work part from my name thanks :)
[01:01] <pleia2> nhandler: the forum posting has lots of whitespace between sections
[01:01] <pleia2> (yours last week did too, compared to earlier ones)
[01:03] <pleia2> replacing \n\n with \n fixes it
[01:12] <pleia2> The new edition of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue227
[01:13] <pleia2> (I really don't like spamming the other channels :P)
[01:14] <nhandler> pleia2: I've only been posting that announcement in here (not the other irc channels)
[01:14] <pleia2> me too
[01:15] <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
[01:16]  * pleia2 nods
[01:17] <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
[01:18]  * pleia2 does wiki stuffs
[01:19] <nhandler> I'm still hoping to find a more automated way for the forum.
[01:22] <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
[01:24] <pleia2> hehe
[01:25] <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
[01:26] <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 :-)
[01:27] <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
[01:28] <pleia2> rww: I think scripting a pleia2-based nagging-people-to-write-summaries bot would be easier
[01:29] <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
[01:35] <nhandler> rww: I started working on a daily newsletter that was 100% automated, but I never finished it
[01:36] <nlsthzn-at-work> I see a strange space in "In This Issue" on the wiki... 4 points, space then the rest... small issue...
[01:53] <rww> nlsthzn-at-work: the wiki style has odd spacing issues with bullet points for me
[01:54] <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 :)
[05:50]  * nlsthzn waves
[05:58]  * philipballew doesnt high five
[06:08] <nlsthzn> :p
[20:09] <pleia2> oops, should dmb restaffing email have gone to fridge?
[21:02] <nhandler> pleia2: Probably. Want me to toss it up?
[21:09] <pleia2> sure
