[00:20] <philipballew> pleia2, is there things I can do for ubuntu-news during the week. is finding news articles needed?
[00:20] <pleia2> philipballew: yep, you just add them to the google doc
[00:21] <philipballew> is there say like a catagory I need to sign up for that is my job to look for, or is it first come, first serve
[00:21] <pleia2> first come first serve
[00:22] <pleia2> whenever you find an article, just toss it in the doc
[00:22] <pleia2> at the end of the week we'll review them, move them around and delete duplicates or ones that don't really work for the newslette
[00:22] <pleia2> r
[00:24] <philipballew> sounds good. ill go to it this week
[00:25] <pleia2> thanks :)
[00:25] <philipballew> any time :) and do they have to be text articles or video articles?
[00:26] <pleia2> we've always done text
[00:28] <philipballew> alright. sounds good :)
[04:19] <holstein> pleia2: i might be back home by then... probably not though
[04:19] <holstein> ill probably be home about now tomorrow nite
[04:21] <pleia2> holstein: hm, would the next week be better?
[04:21] <pleia2> I won't be home by this time tomorrow (after release I need to run out the door)
[04:21] <holstein> pleia2: probably not :/
[04:21] <holstein> the monday nite thing is steady for me
[04:21] <holstein> i usually get in late-ish
[04:21] <pleia2> ah
[04:22] <holstein> i have a monday off every couple months
[04:22] <pleia2> btw everyone, we need editors: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue228
[04:23] <pleia2> not sure what my next monday looks like since I'll have company in town but I *should* be around late
[04:23] <pleia2> anyway, dinnertime :)
[04:56]  * nlsthzn waves
[10:30]  * NRWlion waves
[15:01] <nlsthzn_work> So what is the status... has the new issue been proof read enough times (I did scan it myself a few times and all looked well...)
[16:12] <pleia2> nhandler: another pair of eyes to proof-read would be good
[16:12] <pleia2> not sure anyone has really gone through it except me
[16:39] <akgraner> pleia2, have you gotten another proof reader?
[16:39] <pleia2> not yet
[16:39] <pleia2> oh, I meant nlsthzn_work above, not nhandler
[16:40] <akgraner> if not let me know I'll go through it once I finish my lunch...
[16:40] <pleia2> ah monday mornings :)
[16:40] <pleia2> akgraner: oh, please do!
[16:40] <akgraner> 20 mins give or take...
[16:40] <pleia2> take your time :)
[16:40] <akgraner> will do...
[16:40] <nlsthzn_work> pleia2: hehe... no prob I will also go through it once more... slowly... many eyes and things about bugs... ;)
[16:42] <nlsthzn_work> pleia2: that awesome site you used last time to test all the links already used?
[16:43]  * nlsthzn_work forgot to bookmark it :p
[16:46] <nlsthzn_work> OK, so ubuntu stats are still outstanding right...
[16:47] <nlsthzn_work> ... also top 5 questions...
[16:48] <pleia2> nlsthzn_work: yep I'm doing them soon
[16:48] <akgraner> still using the same scrips to pull those pleia2 ?
[16:48] <akgraner> oh wait do I have those on this machine?  /me wonders aloud....
[16:48] <pleia2> akgraner: there are scripts to pull the security and updates, not most stats afaik
[16:49] <akgraner> you're right  - I was thinking of ask Ubuntu...
[16:50] <akgraner> one sec let me look  - I'll give you a hand..:-)
[16:51] <pleia2> nlsthzn_work: it's http://validator.w3.org/checklink and I used it :)
[16:51] <pleia2> akgraner: no worries, I've got it
[16:51] <akgraner> k
[16:52] <nlsthzn_work> thanks :)
[16:59] <pleia2> k, all done
[17:11] <akgraner> reading it now...
[17:35] <akgraner> pleia2, finished..:-)
[17:35] <akgraner> way to many interruptions...
[18:49] <pleia2> akgraner: will you be around in 2 hours for newsletter release? (was planning on 8PM eastern for release, but my evening time is limited)
[18:50] <akgraner> yeppers
[18:50] <pleia2> ok cool :) I'll ping you around 5 eastern then
[18:50] <akgraner> someone else is picking up the kids at bandcamp so I'll be here...
[19:37] <zkriesse> akgraner: Hey! Nice to see you on irc :)
[19:37] <akgraner> zkriesse, thanks - it's just been a weird year...:-/
[19:37] <zkriesse> akgraner: :/ yeah tht kinda sucks
[19:37] <zkriesse> Glad things are going better for you finally though :)
[19:38] <akgraner> me too!  Thank you!
[21:02] <pleia2> akgraner: ping
[21:02] <akgraner> pleia2, pong
[21:03] <pleia2> do you actually want to do the publishing (please do!) or do you want to just learn the script?
[21:03] <pleia2> scripts
[21:03] <akgraner> yes
[21:04] <pleia2> ok, so first step is grabbing all the new scripts from lp:uwn
[21:04] <pleia2> if you already have an uwn/ from bzr you can just cd into that directory and do "bzr pull" otherwise: bzr branch lp:uwn
[21:04] <akgraner> ok I've never gotten anything from LP before - people would always just send me the scripts
[21:04] <akgraner> ahh ok
[21:05] <akgraner> ok one sec..
[21:10] <akgraner> ok so I had to install bzr - sudo apt-get install bzr
[21:10] <akgraner> then after that I ran: bzr branch lp:uwn
[21:10] <akgraner> now I am getting the following error - You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to
[21:10] <akgraner> write to Launchpad or access private data.  See "bzr help launchpad-login".
[21:11] <pleia2> but it said it branched it, right?
[21:11] <akgraner> ahh yes
[21:11] <akgraner> I got - Branched 16 revision(s).
[21:11] <pleia2> you don't need to write to it and there is no private data, so you can check it out anonymously without a problem
[21:12] <pleia2> do you have an uwn/ directory now?
[21:12] <akgraner> I do...
[21:12] <pleia2> ok, cd into that directory
[21:12] <akgraner> crap not on this machine I don't
[21:12] <akgraner> one sec let me create it - can you tell me how to do that from the command line
[21:12] <pleia2> the bzr command should have created it
[21:12] <akgraner> oh ok
[21:12] <pleia2> if it didn't then the checkout failed
[21:13]  * akgraner looks
[21:13] <akgraner> akgraner@windorf:~$ cd uwn
[21:13] <akgraner> akgraner@windorf:~/uwn$
[21:13] <pleia2> great :)
[21:13] <akgraner> yep it did..
[21:13] <pleia2> ok, now open up fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl
[21:14] <pleia2> on line 15 there will be place to put your fridge login name
[21:14] <pleia2> my $o = WordPress::XMLRPC->new({
[21:14] <pleia2>         username => 'akgraner',
[21:14] <pleia2> so put in your username and password for fridge, then save the file
[21:15] <akgraner> ahh ok so I need to edit the script then...
[21:15] <akgraner> one sec
[21:15] <pleia2> yep
[21:16] <pleia2> you don't need to do this every time you publish, this is just initial set up stuff
[21:17] <akgraner> gotcha - now I opened it from the gui - how would someone open the file from the command line..
[21:17] <pleia2> nano fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl
[21:17] <pleia2> nano is a pretty simple text editor that comes with ubuntu
[21:17] <pleia2> but editing with gedit is fine
[21:21]  * nlsthzn_work likes nano...
[21:23] <akgraner> pleia2, between response and content
[21:24] <pleia2> hm?
[21:24] <akgraner> line 15 including empty lines?
[21:24] <pleia2> it's the line just under
[21:24] <pleia2> my $o = WordPress::XMLRPC->new({
[21:24] <akgraner> I don't see that - one sec...
[21:25] <pleia2> says: username => 'FRIDGE USERNAME GOES HERE',
[21:28] <akgraner> pleia2, I don't think I am looking at the right script - I think I opened the one from my old UWN dir.. one sec let me move it..
[21:28] <pleia2> ok
[21:32] <akgraner> ok so I had to go into the Fridge folder then the right script was there
[21:33] <akgraner> ok edited
[21:33] <akgraner> and saved
[21:34] <pleia2> great
[21:35] <akgraner> sorry for the delay
[21:35] <pleia2> ok, now are you in the new uwn/ directory?
[21:35] <akgraner> yep
[21:36] <pleia2> ok, type: perl publish-uwn.pl 228
[21:37] <pleia2> we might need a perl or python module somewhere

[21:40] <pleia2> hmm
[21:41] <akgraner> what does that mean in laymans terms
[21:41] <pleia2> let's see what else needs to be installed here
[21:41] <pleia2> missing another perl module
[21:41] <akgraner> ahh
[21:41] <akgraner> sorry
[21:41] <akgraner> :-)
[21:41] <pleia2> sudo apt-get install libcrypt-ssleay-perl

[21:42] <akgraner> BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl line 5.
[21:42] <pleia2> ok, unfortunately this one we need to go to cpan for
[21:43] <akgraner> what does that mean?
[21:43] <pleia2> at the command line, type: cpan
[21:43] <akgraner> k
[21:43] <akgraner> in that directory still
[21:43] <pleia2> yeah, anywhere is fine
[21:43] <akgraner> k
[21:44] <akgraner> ok it's doing something
[21:44] <pleia2> just let it do it's think, say "ok" or hit enter to whatever it asks
[21:44] <pleia2> cpan is like apt-get for perl modules
[21:45] <pleia2> let me know when you get to a prompt like: cpan[1]>
[21:45] <akgraner> the curser is blinking after: cpan[1]>
[21:45] <pleia2> great
[21:45] <pleia2> type this: install WordPress/XMLRPC.pm
[21:45] <pleia2> answer yes to whatever it asks until you get back to a prompt
[21:46] <akgraner> um I got a bad luck
[21:46] <akgraner> and cpan[2]>

[21:48] <pleia2> oh wait
[21:48] <pleia2> I know what's wrong
[21:48] <akgraner> ok

[21:51] <nlsthzn_work> :)
[21:51] <pleia2> once we know all the things to install
[21:52] <pleia2> akgraner: can you type this again: install WordPress::XMLRPC
[21:52] <akgraner> yep
[21:52] <pleia2> see if you get the same error

[21:58] <akgraner> ok
[21:58] <pleia2> we can ask nhandler later

[21:59] <akgraner> Terminal does not support GetHistory.
[21:59] <akgraner> Lockfile removed.
[22:00] <pleia2> alright, now in uwn/ open up publish-uwn.pl
[22:00] <pleia2> the last line of the file should be: system("fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl $issue");
[22:00] <pleia2> put a # before that, so it looks like:
[22:00] <pleia2> #system("fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl $issue");
[22:01] <pleia2> that will comment out running of that script, which is not working for us right now
[22:04] <akgraner> ok
[22:04] <pleia2> once that's done, run the publish script again: perl publish-uwn-fridge.pl 228
[22:04] <akgraner> ok have a prompt now
[22:04] <akgraner> :-)
[22:05] <pleia2> ok, that will have created uwn/issues/228
[22:05] <pleia2> so cd into issues/228/
[22:05] <pleia2> cd issues/228/
[22:05] <akgraner> akgraner@windorf:~/uwn/issues/228$
[22:05] <pleia2> in that directory you'll find all the files you need for publishing :)
[22:06] <akgraner> ahh ok
[22:06]  * akgraner looks
[22:07] <akgraner> So now it's just copy and paste then?
[22:07] <pleia2> the one thing we haven't fixed yet is forum.post
[22:08] <pleia2> so open forum.post in gedit
[22:08] <pleia2> then go to Search > Replace
[22:08] <pleia2> search for \n\n
[22:08] <pleia2> replace with \n
[22:08] <akgraner> gotcha
[22:08] <akgraner> but everything else is cut and paste...
[22:08] <pleia2> then replace all
[22:08] <pleia2> yeah
[22:10] <pleia2> and might want to eyeball them all to make sure everything looks ok
[22:13] <akgraner> pleia2, I'm not seeing /n/n
[22:13] <pleia2> \n\n
[22:13] <akgraner> DOH
[22:13] <akgraner> nm
[22:15] <akgraner> ok also is this when you remove work in progress?
[22:15] <pleia2> oh, doh :(
[22:15] <pleia2> we should have done that first
[22:15] <akgraner> ok I'll fix the copies
[22:15] <akgraner> :-)
[22:15] <pleia2> but it's ok, we can run the scripts again
[22:15] <akgraner> so you would remove it from the wiki and just run the scripts again
[22:16] <pleia2> yeah
[22:16] <akgraner> k
[22:16] <akgraner> just getting that detail noted :-)
[22:17] <pleia2> oh, and add your name as a volunteer
[22:20] <akgraner> nah..no worries :-)
[22:20] <pleia2> akgraner: did you want to do that and remove comments?
[22:20] <pleia2> I can do it if not
[22:21] <akgraner> I can remove the comments
[22:21] <akgraner> one sec
[22:21] <akgraner> is that the only manual part?
[22:21] <akgraner> removing the work in progress and comments
[22:22] <pleia2> and making sure the publisher is added to credits ;)
[22:22] <pleia2> yes
[22:24] <akgraner> hehe - ok
[22:26] <akgraner> ok done...publishing now - in what order are you publishing them now
[22:26] <akgraner> mailing list, Fridge, Forums, other mailing lists?
[22:27] <pleia2> just a general comment - it's fine to run the publish-uwn.pl script a bunch of times with the fridge section commented out, but if the fridge part isn't commented out only run it once
[22:27] <pleia2> all the rest of the scripts just dump things in issues/228, but the fridge script actually logs into the fridge and creates a draft, if you run it a bunch of times it'll make a bunch of drafts, no good :)
[22:28] <pleia2> akgraner: we're following your old release format
[22:28] <pleia2> so yeah
[22:28] <pleia2> whatever order you always did :)
[22:28] <akgraner> ok
[22:28] <pleia2> the only change is that we don't announce it in a bunch of channels anymore, just here
[22:28] <akgraner> got from here then lets see if I forget anything
[22:28] <akgraner> :-)
[22:28] <pleia2> yay, thanks!
[22:28] <akgraner> pleia2, yw
[22:28] <pleia2> oh! the fridge part
[22:28] <akgraner> thanks for letting me help
[22:29] <pleia2> I ran the fridge script
[22:29] <akgraner> oh ok..cool
