[07:43] good morning [16:00] #startmeeting [16:00] oops :) [18:42] not sure how I feel about http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/netflix-on-ubuntu-is-here.html UWN-wise [18:42] (it's from a guy in my loco) [18:43] it's kind of a big deal, but it's still hackish mush [18:43] and since we don't even like including news about PPAs... [18:43] akgraner: any thoughts? [18:44] Technically, not a PPA yet. ;) [18:44] I didn't say it was [18:45] 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] Well, it is bigger news to some people, but.... I'd rather see that in the official wine PPA. :P [18:50] This coming from a person that does not use Netflix, so doesn't matter. ;) [18:50] I didn't even know wine had official applicatoin PPAs [18:50] link? [18:51] http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu [18:52] that looks like for just wine itself [18:53] 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] ah, gotcha [18:53] (I use wine for other things as well.) [19:17] pleia2, reading now [19:20] pleia2, my personal thought is no to anything that isn't official and requires users to compile anything [19:20] ok, thanks Unit193 and akgraner :) [19:21] 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] what, everyone leaving me this weekend :) [19:26] 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] I can't do linkchecking for you either. :P [19:32] (Though, I don't think I really helped on this Netflix matter. :P ) [19:42] pleia2, I'll be around [19:42] \o/ [19:43] Evening everyone *sad face* [19:43] 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] How is every one? [19:49] Nce nobody talks 2 me [19:49] akgraner: thanks :) [19:49] SilverLion: good evening [19:49] (I'm at work, can't reply immediately) [19:50] 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] Pleia just dont take me serious... Its pure frustration talking out of me [19:52] Akgraner: seems like I am not suitable forvany project [19:53] Had to quit another one 2day [20:31] 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] yeah pleia2! work away! [20:33] 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] philipballew: unfortunately the LP accounts won't allow you to use the scripts we have [20:38] can you sign up with a regular password-based account? [20:38] (that's why I asked for you to send me your username) [20:39] 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] we can associate your launchpad id later [20:39] it's not a wordpress.com account, you need to create an account on this site at the URL I gave you [20:39] alright, ill do that now [20:40] I'll remove the launchpad one so you don't get errors about conflicts [20:40] alright then [20:40] no hurry since your working [20:40] I can help for a little bit pleia2 and philipballew [20:41] philipballew: Once pleia2 deletes the account, you will need to register on http://fridge.ubuntu.com/wp-login.php?action=register [20:41] 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] pleia2: Yep, no problem [20:41] * pleia2 back2work [20:41] thank you! [20:41] pleia2: I also don't see the need to publish that netflix thing at this point [20:41] no problem [20:42] philipballew: Poke me once you have created an account [20:42] so do I just make a user name up and it sets me up nhandler ? [20:43] philipballew: We'll need to adjust a few settings, but yeah, you can use any username [20:43] (Ideally, something similar or the same as your LP/IRC name) [20:44] nhandler, done [20:45] philipballew: Alright, try going to http://fridge.ubuntu.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=your_openids [20:45] there nhandler [20:46] philipballew: You can add something like https://launchpad.net/~philipballew to get openid working [20:47] alright [20:47] do I apply it? [20:47] 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] done nhandler [20:49] philipballew: Are you able to access http://fridge.ubuntu.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=5441&action=edit ? [20:50] no :( [20:50] 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] how much html should I know nhandler ? [20:51] 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] ill play with it this weekend [20:52] 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] 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] nhandler, alright. sounds good then [21:40] akgraner: ping (i know u are busy but could you spare a few mins for a little call of mine?
