[07:43] <dholbach> good morning
[16:00] <dholbach> #startmeeting
[16:00] <dholbach> oops :)
[18:42] <pleia2> not sure how I feel about http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/netflix-on-ubuntu-is-here.html UWN-wise
[18:42] <pleia2> (it's from a guy in my loco)
[18:43] <pleia2> it's kind of a big deal, but it's still hackish mush
[18:43] <pleia2> and since we don't even like including news about PPAs...
[18:43] <pleia2> akgraner: any thoughts?
[18:44] <Unit193> Technically, not a PPA yet. ;)
[18:44] <pleia2> I didn't say it was
[18:45] <pleia2> my comment was meant as "we don't include news about PPAs, let alone hackish mush that isn't even in a PPA yet" ;)
[18:49] <Unit193> Well, it is bigger news to some people, but....  I'd rather see that in the official wine PPA. :P
[18:50] <Unit193> This coming from a person that does not use Netflix, so doesn't matter. ;)
[18:50] <pleia2> I didn't even know wine had official applicatoin PPAs
[18:50] <pleia2> link?
[18:51] <Unit193> http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu
[18:52] <pleia2> that looks like for just wine itself
[18:53] <Unit193> That it is.  The idea is you have to patch and recompile wine, I'd rather see the "patches" fixed in the bugs and released there is what I was saying.
[18:53] <pleia2> ah, gotcha
[18:53] <Unit193> (I use wine for other things as well.)
[19:17] <akgraner> pleia2, reading now
[19:20] <akgraner> pleia2, my personal thought is no to anything that isn't official and requires users to compile anything
[19:20] <pleia2> ok, thanks Unit193 and akgraner :)
[19:21] <akgraner> what if we as the official news source is seen as endorsing it and it bricks someone's system
[19:21]  * pleia2 nods
[19:25]  * Unit193 detaches for a few days.
[19:26] <pleia2> what, everyone leaving me this weekend :)
[19:26] <pleia2> Jasna is off for the weekend from doing summary writing, I don't know what I'll do without her! (but I suspect what I'll be doing is more summary writin than usual ;))
[19:32] <Unit193> I can't do linkchecking for you either. :P
[19:32] <Unit193> (Though, I don't think I really helped on this Netflix matter. :P )
[19:42] <akgraner> pleia2, I'll be around
[19:42] <pleia2> \o/
[19:43] <SilverLion> Evening everyone *sad face*
[19:43] <akgraner> so it will be late Saturday but I'll jump in and write Saturday night so don't feel like you need to do them all - I can do the stats for you on Sunday as well
[19:45] <SilverLion> How is every one?
[19:49] <SilverLion> Nce nobody talks 2 me
[19:49] <pleia2> akgraner: thanks :)
[19:49] <pleia2> SilverLion: good evening
[19:49] <pleia2> (I'm at work, can't reply immediately)
[19:50] <akgraner> Hi SilverLion  - but I can't chat either at the moment just want pleia2 to know she wasn't all alone this weekend
[19:51] <SilverLion> Pleia just dont take me serious... Its pure frustration talking out of me
[19:52] <SilverLion> Akgraner: seems like I am not suitable forvany project
[19:53] <SilverLion> Had to quit another one 2day
[20:31] <pleia2> philipballew: I'm a bit busy at work right now, but can you ask fridge stuff in here so other fridge admins can see (and possibly help)
[20:32] <philipballew> yeah pleia2! work away!
[20:33] <philipballew> so I logged into the fridge wp site with my openid from lp and am ready to help with the fridge. What is needed for me to get started?
[20:38] <pleia2> philipballew: unfortunately the LP accounts won't allow you to use the scripts we have
[20:38] <pleia2> can you sign up with a regular password-based account?
[20:38] <pleia2> (that's why I asked for you to send me your username)
[20:39] <philipballew> yeah, I have a wordpress account I can use. I can do this later with someone pleia2 if your the only person. So you can work.
[20:39] <pleia2> we can associate your launchpad id later
[20:39] <pleia2> it's not a wordpress.com account, you need to create an account on this site at the URL I gave you
[20:39] <philipballew> alright, ill do that now
[20:40] <pleia2> I'll remove the launchpad one so you don't get errors about conflicts
[20:40] <philipballew> alright then
[20:40] <philipballew> no hurry since your working
[20:40] <nhandler> I can help for a little bit pleia2 and philipballew
[20:41] <nhandler> philipballew: Once pleia2 deletes the account, you will need to register on http://fridge.ubuntu.com/wp-login.php?action=register
[20:41] <pleia2> nhandler: cool, can you get him set up with a Contributor account and get his lp id associated with his password account? (needs password account for your scripts :))
[20:41] <nhandler> pleia2: Yep, no problem
[20:41]  * pleia2 back2work
[20:41] <pleia2> thank you!
[20:41] <nhandler> pleia2: I also don't see the need to publish that netflix thing at this point
[20:41] <nhandler> no problem
[20:42] <nhandler> philipballew: Poke me once you have created an account
[20:42] <philipballew> so do I just make a user name up and it sets me up nhandler ?
[20:43] <nhandler> philipballew: We'll need to adjust a few settings, but yeah, you can use any username
[20:43] <nhandler> (Ideally, something similar or the same as your LP/IRC name)
[20:44] <philipballew> nhandler, done
[20:45] <nhandler> philipballew: Alright, try going to http://fridge.ubuntu.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=your_openids
[20:45] <philipballew> there nhandler
[20:46] <nhandler> philipballew: You can add something like https://launchpad.net/~philipballew to get openid working
[20:47] <philipballew> alright
[20:47] <philipballew> do I apply it?
[20:47] <nhandler> philipballew: Yep. You should also be able to access http://fridge.ubuntu.com/wp-admin/post-new.php . If I remember the permissions correctly, you will be able to draft up a post, but not actually publish it. You will need to get a fridge editor to do that for you (just poke us in here)
[20:49] <philipballew> done nhandler
[20:49] <nhandler> philipballew: Are you able to access http://fridge.ubuntu.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=5441&action=edit ?
[20:50] <philipballew> no :(
[20:50] <nhandler> philipballew: Ok. Then I would suggest examining some of the posts on the normal fridge blog (not /wp-admin) to get a feel for when we use which categories and how we handle the html (and citations).
[20:51] <philipballew> how much html should I know nhandler ?
[20:51] <nhandler> philipballew: Other than that, just try your best. We will help you as you go, and feel free to ask any questions you might have.
[20:52] <philipballew> ill play with it this weekend
[20:52] <nhandler> philipballew: You don't need to know any. We usually just copy/paste the HTML from wherever the article is coming from. But knowing the basics does help (i.e. we sometimes convert ascii bullet lists to actual html bullet lists)
[20:53] <nhandler> philipballew: If you want to experiment, pick a random ML email or blog post and try and create a fridge post for it (bonus points if the post/email you pick is actually meant to go on the fridge). We can then help you review and revise it
[20:55] <philipballew> nhandler, alright. sounds good then
[21:40] <Silverlion_> akgraner: ping (i know u are busy but could you spare a few mins for a little call of mine?
