[19:38] <valorie> hmmm, I can't login to the website
[19:38] <valorie> need to get that article into News, but can't login
[19:40] <valorie> @sick_rimmit @rikmills @ahoneybun anyone know what's up?
[19:41] <IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> what are you trying to do?
[19:42] <IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> kubuntu.org/admin
[19:43] <IrcsomeBot> <Sick_Rimmit> Hmmm, am afk at present can take a look in about an hour
[19:46] <valorie> perfect, that worked
[19:46] <valorie> thank you @ahoneybun
[19:46] <valorie> I need to put the testing article online
[19:47] <valorie> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PVui1kB1JijGCoBPdkrg4P94LS4DozLtEJ37GKWga2E <-- written in conjunction with the other flavors
[19:50] <IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> \o/
[19:52] <valorie> https://kubuntu.org/?p=4384&preview=true
[19:52] <valorie> anyone available to fix the links?
[19:52] <valorie> I don't even see the editing tools
[19:52] <valorie> gosh, using chrome, no idea what's missing today
[20:05] <mparillo> There used to be a login link at the bottom of https://kubuntu.org/ so you could log in to Wordpress. Did it disappear in some of the website beautification?
[20:09] <mparillo> Oh, got it...you need the magic URL supplied above. And the page is locked right now.
[20:11] <valorie> I forgot to logout
[20:11] <valorie> have done so now
[20:11] <valorie> this pandemic tension is getting to me
[20:18] <valorie> mparillo: were you able to get in now?
[20:18] <mparillo> The link to the iso.qa.ubuntu.com points to the daily builds, but the Beta build test milestone is not up yet. The other link to the daily ISO is good.
[20:18] <valorie> might be fun to embed that video but in WP that is quite beyond me
[20:19] <valorie> imo there is no more "beta"
[20:19] <valorie> it's all dailies
[20:19] <valorie> we just call it beta test week because there used to be an actual beta
[20:19] <valorie> maybe they will do one this time because LTS
[20:19] <valorie> but I've not heard that
[20:20] <valorie> @RikMills might know more
[20:20] <mparillo> Ahh, in the past there was a separate testing series. In that case, both URLs look good.
[20:20] <valorie> have to say that my kubuntu work has not been top prio lately
[20:20] <valorie> you're right, but I guess if there is we can go in and change the URL?
[20:21] <valorie> I'd like people to get their VMs set up, etc.
[20:21] <mparillo> As does the youtube link
[20:21] <valorie> \o/
[20:21] <valorie> thank you for your magick, mparillo
[20:22] <valorie> how are you doing in this strange new world we all now inhabit?
[20:22] * valorie is getting cabin fever
[20:22] <jphilips> if you need any help valorie, i'd be glad to help embed the video into the page for you
[20:23] <mparillo> All I did was verify the links. They are bare URLs which some might say are ugly, but they have the advantage of being easy to inspect. jphilips go for it, I have exited.
[20:23] <valorie> jphilips: thank you!
[20:23] <valorie> jphilips: do you have the permissions?
[20:23] <jphilips> valorie: i would need access of course :D
[20:23] <valorie> I don't know how to grant access
[20:23] <valorie> @ahoneybun do you know?
[20:24] <valorie> wp is just sucky to me, and ours is like last century
[20:25] <jphilips> i presume it would be https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-website-administrators
[20:25] <jphilips> thats how it was for xubuntu
[20:25] <jphilips> but if @ahoneybun is around, i presume he would know how to fix it up
[20:26] <jphilips> i've request to join the kubuntu website admins
[20:26] <jphilips> alot of admins are there - https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-website-administrators/+members
[20:26] <jphilips> RikMills: got time to help with posting the announcement?
[20:28] <valorie> gosh
[20:28] <valorie> done
[20:28] <valorie> <--- DUH
[20:37] <valorie> jphilips: feel free to publish if it looks ready
[20:37] <valorie> I'll write to the lists and tweet
[20:37] <valorie> maybe put it on FB....(ugh)
[20:38] <valorie> mparillo: unless you want to do the social things and I write to the lists?
[20:42] <IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> That is how you can login to the site valorie
[20:42] <valorie> right, thus my DUH
[20:43] <valorie> how are you, Aaron?
[20:56] <jphilips> valorie: dont have access to do so, so you'll have to do it :D
[20:56] <valorie> ok
[20:56] <valorie> so it's ready to go?
[20:57] <valorie> I see no embedded video
[20:58] <valorie> and the links are not clickable
[21:01] <valorie> nevermind, making the links clickable and people will just have to click on it
[21:05] <valorie> done
[21:05] <valorie> https://kubuntu.org/news/testing-for-the-beta-help-needed/
[21:05] <valorie> please spread and report back here where you have shared
[21:11] <jphilips> let me know when its tweeted out so i can retweet it
[21:12] <valorie> devel and user done
[21:13] <jphilips> you should likely make the #ubuntu-quality clickable
[21:14] <jphilips> here's the link - https://webchat.freenode.net/#ubuntu-quality?nick=kbuntu-tester?w
[21:14] <jphilips> sorry - https://webchat.freenode.net/#ubuntu-quality?nick=kubuntu-tester?w
[21:15] <valorie> dunno how to do that, jphilips
[21:15] <valorie> I can barely manage to make bare links clickable
[21:15] <IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> @valorie, I'm good just working from home.
[21:15] <jphilips> RikMills, @ahoneybun: can either of you guys add the link
[21:16] <valorie> @ahoneybun stay safe and happy
[21:17] <valorie> @ubuntu @Xubuntu, @UbuntuStudio, @LubuntuOfficial, @Ubuntu_Kylin, @Ubuntu_MATE, @UbuntuBudgie <-- did I leave anyone's twitter out?
[21:19] <valorie> https://twitter.com/kubuntu/status/1243286387366846464 done
[21:19] <IrcsomeBot> <ahoneybun> It looks like someone pushed it.
[21:26] <jphilips> retweeted
[21:27] <jphilips> you can retweet the ubuntu studio tweet if a few hours - https://twitter.com/ubuntustudio/status/1243218023898472449
[21:27] <jphilips> tweet in* a few
[21:31] <valorie> I usually logout from kubuntu and then retweet some from my personal
[21:32] <valorie> which I'm doing now
[21:36] <mparillo> Facebook and https://www.reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/comments/fpk6u1/testing_for_the_2004_beta_help_needed/
[21:36] <valorie> \o/
[21:36] <valorie> mparillo: <3
[21:37] <mparillo> Looks as if nobody has done Twitter from the Kubuntu account, right?
[21:37] <valorie> commented and upvoted
[21:37] <valorie> yes I did twitter
[21:37] <valorie> https://twitter.com/kubuntu/status/1243286387366846464
[21:38] <valorie> and RT'd all the other flavs I saw
[21:38] <valorie> masto?
[21:39] <valorie> hmm, which FB did you do?
[21:39] <valorie> there are like three
[21:39] <valorie> which is unfortunate
[21:39] <mparillo> Strange. I can follow your link, but when I look at the Kubuntu Tweets in a list I cannot see it.
[21:39] <valorie> I'll post on https://www.facebook.com/linuxkubuntu/
[21:40] <valorie> hmmm
[21:40] <mparillo> I think I saved them somewhere on phab
[21:40] <valorie> well, it was a half hour ago
[21:42] <valorie> ah, a "visitor post"
[21:42] <valorie> gosh fb sucks
[21:43] <mparillo> According to this (https://phabricator.kde.org/w/kubuntu/social-media/) I must have posted to the kubuntu.org FB account
[21:44] <valorie> cool
[21:44] <valorie> well, commented on two pages and one group
[21:45] <valorie> now I feel all dirty
[21:45] <valorie> lol
[21:45] <mparillo> I use a live USB, and probably have not been on FB since 19.10
[21:46] <valorie> well I use it for some genealogy groups and to see photos of my grandson
[21:46] <valorie> twitter is better
[21:46] <jphilips> might want to remove google+ from that page :D
[21:47] <valorie> even that gets me down after 20 minutes
[21:47] <valorie> what page, jphilips?
[21:47] <valorie> I thought we purged that everywhere
[21:47] <jphilips> phabricator page
[21:47] <valorie> ah
[21:47] <valorie> hm
[21:48] <jphilips> would be good to post also on the kubuntu forums
[21:48] <valorie> done, thanks
[21:49] <valorie> hmmm, I wonder if they fixed my login yet
[21:49] <valorie> and why isn't that in our phab
[21:49] <valorie> sheesh
[21:51] <mparillo> In general, we were using that phab page for semi-official accounts, not personal ones. Or is there a semi-official Kubuntu account on KFN?
[21:53] <valorie> true that
[21:53] <valorie> nope
[21:53] <valorie> but my personal one - I couldn't login for awhile even though I paid
[21:55] <jphilips> got the link to the forum post, as i cant find it
[22:03] <RikMills> sorry. a little distracted today
[22:03] <RikMills> hope things are sorted
[22:07] <jphilips> the IRC link on the page still needs to be added
[22:10] <valorie> sheesh, finally able to login to kubuntuforums
[22:11] <mparillo> I think they had a spam problem a few years ago, and they fought back, making the site just too difficult for me afterwards.
[22:20] <valorie> ok, posted
[22:20] <valorie> gosh, lots of hoops to jump through there
[22:26] <jphilips> guess you guys dont do this that often :D
[22:29] <valorie> well, not a full-court press
[22:29] <valorie> twice every six months I guess
[22:30] <valorie> and I dunno about you, but to me every day now seems like a week
[22:30] <valorie> every week like a month
[22:30] <valorie> and I can hardly remember "normal"
[22:30] <valorie> and like SEEING PEOPLE
[22:31] <jphilips> well you have gsoc students to deal with, so definitely it must be stressful
[22:31] <jphilips> have a good night all and stay safe
[22:34] <valorie> I just heard we have new proposals, so yeah
[22:34] <valorie> my fun stuff keeps getting shoved to around midnight
[22:34] <valorie> not very good for my sleep!
