[13:37] <boredandblogging> sayakb: hello |
|
[13:37] <sayakb> boredandblogging: hello! |
|
[13:37] <sayakb> (finally :D) |
|
[13:37] <boredandblogging> we keep missing each other |
|
[13:37] <sayakb> timezone :) |
|
[13:38] <sayakb> boredandblogging: so how do we start? : |
|
[13:39] <boredandblogging> sayakb: one second |
|
[13:39] <boredandblogging> ok, you should now be part of the LP ubuntu-fridge team |
|
[13:39] <boredandblogging> go to fridge.ubuntu.com |
|
[13:40] <boredandblogging> on the left sidebar |
|
[13:40] <sayakb> logging in via openID |
|
[13:40] <boredandblogging> there should be a login page |
|
[13:40] <boredandblogging> yes |
|
[13:40] <sayakb> in |
|
[13:41] <boredandblogging> after logging in, should return you back to the frontpage |
|
[13:41] <sayakb> yes, back |
|
[13:41] <boredandblogging> near the top, there should be a contribute link |
|
[13:41] <boredandblogging> contribute -> story |
|
[13:42] <sayakb> that is some good drupal customization there.. |
|
[13:42] <sayakb> so I now have a submit story" page |
|
[13:42] <boredandblogging> you only need to fill out title, select a topic, fill out the body |
|
[13:42] <boredandblogging> at the bottom |
|
[13:42] <boredandblogging> do you see "Publishing options" ? |
|
[13:42] <sayakb> checked published :) |
|
[13:42] <boredandblogging> no |
|
[13:42] <sayakb> ah |
|
[13:43] <boredandblogging> oops |
|
[13:43] <boredandblogging> yeah, its fine |
|
[13:44] <boredandblogging> make sure it looks fine |
|
[13:44] <boredandblogging> you don't see a promoted to front page checkbox under publishing options? |
|
[13:44] <sayakb> I do |
|
[13:44] <sayakb> should that be checked? |
|
[13:44] <boredandblogging> yes, only after you have made absolutely sure everything is exactly the way you want it |
|
[13:45] <boredandblogging> after previewing, then submit |
|
[13:45] <sayakb> I just hit preiew with none of the publishing options checked.. |
|
[13:45] <boredandblogging> thats fine |
|
[13:45] <sayakb> ..just to make sure that the html tags dont misbehave :) |
|
[13:45] <boredandblogging> that way we can login and just see it |
|
[13:45] <sayakb> right |
|
[13:46] <boredandblogging> for topics |
|
[13:46] <sayakb> LoCo teams should be it I guess? |
|
[13:46] <boredandblogging> sayakb: yes |
|
[13:46] <sayakb> okay |
|
[13:46] <boredandblogging> and if you wanted it cross-posted on the planet |
|
[13:47] <boredandblogging> there is a PlanetUbuntu topic |
|
[13:47] <sayakb> yes, I see it |
|
[13:47] <sayakb> I think it is pretty much good to go. Should I publish the post? |
|
[13:48] <sayakb> (and can you take a quick look that I did it right? :) ) |
|
[13:48] <boredandblogging> yeah, go ahead |
|
[13:49] <sayakb> what is the "create new revision" do? something like the moin page revision? |
|
[13:49] <sayakb> s/is/does |
|
[13:49] <boredandblogging> probably, never tried it though |
|
[13:49] <sayakb> boredandblogging: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1840 |
|
[13:49] <sayakb> ok |
|
[13:50] <boredandblogging> looks good |
|
[13:50] <boredandblogging> I would suggest one change |
|
[13:50] <sayakb> sweet! :) |
|
[13:50] <sayakb> sure |
|
[13:50] <boredandblogging> capitalize the first letters in the title |
|
[13:51] <sayakb> done |
|
[13:51] <boredandblogging> excellent! |
|
[13:52] <sayakb> so that would be the way to go for a new post. How many submissions from non members of the team do we have? |
|
[13:53] <sayakb> and what all are the policies that are followed before the post is approved? |
|
[13:53] <boredandblogging> there are some of us who find relevant information and post it outselves |
|
[13:54] <boredandblogging> s/outselves/ourselves |
|
[13:54] <boredandblogging> getting submissions is something we need to work |
|
[13:54] <sayakb> sounds good. would be looking forward to that |
|
[13:54] <boredandblogging> for policies, let people in here know what you want to post |
|
[13:55] <boredandblogging> if someone says its ok, then go for it :-) |
|
[13:55] <sayakb> sounds like a plan :) |
|
[13:56] <sayakb> boredandblogging: thank you for setting up the membership and helping with the post. |
|
[13:56] <boredandblogging> no problem, hope you post often! |
|
[13:57] <sayakb> as you already know, I have this timezone issue. I'll find you/other news team members by mail in most cases |
|
[13:57] <sayakb> I am on IRC for about 8 hours a day, but that would be the time the other side of the world sleeps :) |
|
[13:59] <boredandblogging> sayakb: feel free to post on the ubuntu-news-team list as well |
|
[13:59] <sayakb> yes, will definitely do that before adding a new story |
|
