[00:39] <boredandblogging> newz2000: ping
[03:51] <newz2000> he boredandblogging
[04:04] <newz2000> wow, that didn't take long to rejoin
[05:23] <boredandblogging> newz2000: sorry, still around?
[05:23] <newz2000> yep
[05:24] <boredandblogging> newz2000: did you want to try out the thing with the fridge?
[05:24] <newz2000> yeah, would you log out of the fridge and then log back in
[05:24] <newz2000> and make sure you're still an admin
[05:25] <boredandblogging> logged out
[05:25] <boredandblogging> logged in
[05:25] <boredandblogging> newz2000: how do I still tell I'm an admin?
[05:26] <newz2000> does any thing appear different from before?
[05:26] <newz2000> I'll check on my end actually
[05:26] <newz2000> you're still an admin!
[05:27] <boredandblogging> cool
[05:27] <newz2000> cool, so when people sign in who are part of the fridge-editors group they get to be editors
[05:27] <newz2000> we can make specific users admins
[05:27] <boredandblogging> ok, so say we want to allow james to be able to submit a post
[05:28] <boredandblogging> what LP team does he join?
[05:28] <newz2000> the only lp team that matters for us is fridge-editors
[05:28] <newz2000> then he'll become an editor
[05:28] <newz2000> wait
[05:28] <newz2000> before we do that, let me take away your admin privs and see what happens
[05:29] <newz2000> ok, you're not an admin any more
[05:29] <newz2000> can you post and do things as you'd expect?
[05:29] <boredandblogging> let me log out and in
[05:30] <boredandblogging> ok, logged back in
[05:30] <boredandblogging> when I try to post, all I see is the submit button
[05:30] <boredandblogging> theoretically, that shouldn't post to the front page?
[05:31] <newz2000> I don't know actually :-/ I've never posted to the fridge before
[05:31] <newz2000> let me check the roles
[05:31] <boredandblogging> give me a sec, let me find the RC announcement and try posting it without admin rights
[05:31] <boredandblogging> so if it posts
[05:31] <boredandblogging> it will be a legit post
[05:32] <newz2000> I don't see any way to give or revoke the ability to publish to the homepage
[05:32] <boredandblogging> hmmm
[05:32] <boredandblogging> because that option was there before
[05:32] <boredandblogging> hold on
[05:34] <boredandblogging> awesome
[05:34] <boredandblogging> submitted it
[05:34] <boredandblogging> and it didn't post to the front page
[05:34] <newz2000> ah, cool
[05:34] <newz2000> do you want me to make you admin again?
[05:34] <boredandblogging> yes, please
[05:35] <newz2000> ok, done
[05:35] <newz2000> who else should be admins?
[05:35] <newz2000> I have you, me, joey
[05:35] <boredandblogging> john crawford
[05:35] <boredandblogging> he posts the UWN to the fridge
[05:35] <newz2000> any idea what his launchpad id is?
[05:36] <boredandblogging> johnc4510
[05:36] <newz2000> Hmm. He's not even an editor. He must not be in the fridge-editors group on lp
[05:36] <newz2000> but I've made him an admin, so he should be ok
[05:36] <boredandblogging> the LP team isn't https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-fridge?
[05:37] <newz2000> yes, that's it
[05:37] <boredandblogging> john's a member of that team
[05:38] <newz2000> maybe he hasn't logged in recently enough then
[05:38] <newz2000> he'll probably become an editor when he logs in next. Looks like he last logged in 5 days ago and I've reset things since then.
[05:38] <boredandblogging> hmm, he posted the UWN on the 19th
[05:38] <boredandblogging> ah, ok
[05:38] <boredandblogging> cool, this is gonna be extremely helpful
[05:39] <boredandblogging> thanks
[05:39] <newz2000> my pleasure. Great to see it working. Soon I'll use it more extensively.
[05:40] <boredandblogging> we'll try this set up with james_w and see how it works out
[05:46] <boredandblogging> newz2000: can you make martin an admin too?
[05:46] <newz2000> boredandblogging: is that beuno?
[05:47] <boredandblogging> newz2000: yes
[05:47] <newz2000> done
[05:47] <boredandblogging> newz2000: thanks
