    emus: I tried, but uploading files requires push access to the repository

  19. wurstsalat

    maybe we can start a link collection for potential images, and then someone with access pushes them?

    > maybe we can start a link collection for potential images, and then someone with access pushes them?

  32. peetah

    ok

  33. peetah

    so, for now, nobody has the possibility to upload images ?

    are there still images needed for the current issue?

  39. wurstsalat

    emus?

  40. peetah

    JSCX images are free to reuse for "reviews and similar", I'm waiting for permission to resuse screenshot from profanity since their blog does not have copyright notice, and wolfieanmmol gsocmblog does not have copyright notice either

  42. peetah

    emus, as an XSF member, could you join him to ask for permission to reuse the gif linked in the july newsletter ?

  43. wurstsalat

    for the 1.2 release of gajim we could use https://gajim.org/img/news/account-badges.png (which is CC-BY-SA, from the release post on gajim.org)

  44. SouL

    emus, regarding the other PRs that there are, no, none of the current ones apart from the newsletter belong to commteam, so don't worry

  57. peetah

    great

  58. Nÿco has left

  59. emus

    peetah: I think there is a right to quote someones publications?

  60. emus

    anyway I can contact them

  61. arnaudj has left

  62. peetah

    reusing images is not the same as quoting someone, and if there is nothing indicating the licence for republication, it is legally required to get an authorization first

  63. Nÿco has joined

  64. peetah

    so I guess it would be better to ask for it, if not for legal reason, at least for courtesy

    If I get all that managed by tonight I can do so otherweise I prefer to take it out and we do for the next version this procedure

  71. emus

    or we just drop our own screenshot... I mean that is allowed, right?

  72. peetah

    sure :)

  73. emus

    maybe that is the easiest way^^

  74. peetah

    then I'll do it

  75. peetah

    but it will have to be uploaded on the repo

    permission to reuse profanity screenshot granted

  81. peetah

    emus: sorry, when I said I would do it, for whatever reason, I had profanity screenshot in mind

  82. peetah

    the only image permission missing is now from wolfieanmmol gsoc-blog which I won't be able to reproduce

  83. emus

    Will ask them

  84. peetah

    thanks

  85. emus

    I cobtected him

    Hmm, formating is weird. It shows each picture twice

  145. emus

    things like this: <img src="https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/blob/master/content/images/blog/profanity090.png" width="500">

  146. emus

    are rendered twice

  147. emus

    waite

  148. emus

    wait

  149. emus

    ahh, omg the preview also renders the diff!

  150. emus

    that really weird

  151. peetah

    are you inserting the html directy inside the markdown ?

  152. peetah

    are you inserting the html directly inside the markdown ?

  153. emus

    ok lets see - the html think usually works in markdown. I need to resize the picture

  154. emus

    Muy bien: https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/714/files?short_path=83d5783#diff-83d5783deabe9450b0964958b7ab9da3

  155. emus

    so I will release now

  156. peetah

    you should not, because pelican won't understand

  157. emus

    Ah wait

  158. emus

    no tomorrow

  159. emus

    But I will close now

  160. emus

    Are you sure?

  161. emus

    wait, then I have to resize the picutre manually

  162. peetah

    you should use the markdown formating with: ![[profanity 0.9 screenshots](/images/newsletters/july2020/profanity09.jpg "profanity 0.9")

  163. peetah

    you should use the markdown formating with: ![profanity 0.9 screenshots](/images/newsletters/july2020/profanity09.jpg "profanity 0.9")

  164. peetah

    pelocan will look for the /images path according to its configuration and generate the appropriate html

  165. peetah

    pelican will look for the /images path according to its configuration and generate the appropriate html

  166. kikuchiyo has joined

  167. peetah

    and from the current pelican conf, /images is the /content/images path in the repo

  168. peetah

    there is one blog post that did exactly that... give me a sec to find it

  169. peetah

    https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/blob/master/content/posts/blog/Return_of_experience_on_XMPP_meetup_in_Krakow.md

  170. peetah

    an we should not put the newsletter related images into the blog directory

  171. peetah

    we should create a /content/images/newsletters/<monthYYYY> directory and store them there

  172. emus

    Okay wait

  173. emus

    ![Piotr Nosek from Erlang Solutions](/images/blog/Piotr_Nosek_MongooseIM.jpg) but they dont use the ending nameing

  174. emus

    pep. are you here?

  175. emus

    can you create a folder in here?

  176. emus

    https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/tree/master/content

  177. emus

    sorr in here: https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/tree/master/content/images

  178. emus

    "newsletter" ?

  179. peetah

    the text between double-quotes inside the parenthesis is the one used as the image title when you hover it

  180. emus

    ok

  181. pep.

    !

  182. peetah

    of course, the images won't be displayed in the github preview

  183. pep.

    emus, you can't "create a folder" in git

  184. pep.

    it doesn't make sense

  185. emus

    Okay, but how did they do 😀

  186. peetah

    git does not understand the "folder" concept

  187. peetah

    you have to create a file into that folder

  188. emus

    ah okay

  189. emus

    so that is that I do in the "name file" field on the top?

  190. pep.

    hmmm, maybe you can enter slashes in there :/

  191. pep.

    yeah

  192. emus

    Yes ok

  193. emus

    but I dont need to add a file in that step, right?

  194. emus

    I just "commit" the new file (/../...)

  195. pep.

    what do you want to do? Add an image somewhere?

  196. emus

    in that location afterwards. but now it just has the editor look

  197. pep.

    I have no idea how to do that via github's interface

  198. emus

    ok

  199. emus

    I just try

  200. peetah

    if i remember correctly, there is a "upload file" button

  201. peetah

    add files > upload fil

  202. peetah

    add files > upload file

  203. peetah

    add files > upload files

  204. emus

    Yes, but there I cannot create an location 😕

  205. alacer has left

  206. alacer has joined

  207. pep.

    Have somebody else upload the first image? and upload the rest

  208. emus

    yes was wondering

  209. peetah

    I would go in the /content/images/ folder, then clich on upload files and proceed from ther

  210. peetah

    I would go in the /content/images/ folder, then clich on upload files and proceed from there

  211. peetah

    I guess it will ask for a file from your computer and a target folder

  212. pep.

    emus, wasn't there a desktop client for github? Maybe it's easier to use

  213. peetah

    but I can't say for sure since I just have a "File uploads require push access to this repository." message

  214. peetah

    can't you just clone the repo and commit the file from there

  215. peetah

    then push

  216. peetah

    ?

  217. emus

    Ok, now I know how it works

  218. emus

    give me another 5 minutes

  219. emus

    everything is ready, you can now commit resized (smaller sized) pictures to the new location: https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/tree/master/content/images/newsletter

  220. emus

    in the future

  221. peetah

    great ! thanks !

  222. emus

    Okay guys, we are close! Just the new linking missing ... 🏃‍♂️️

  223. emus

    ![profanity 0.9 screenshots](/images/newsletter/june2020/profanity090.png "profanity 0.9")

  224. emus

  226. emus

    Si?

  227. peetah

    I guess so

  228. peetah

    I'm looking for a way to limit image size via pelican conf

  229. emus

    ok, hmm Github is not rendering - are you sure I cannot use the full link?

  230. emus

    Shouldnt be a problem or?

  231. peetah

    if you want pelican to do its job, then I think it has to be this way

  232. emus

    Okay, then I ignore it and leave it like this

  233. emus

    ======= Redaction Closing for June 2020 XMPP Newsletter======

  234. emus

    🤸‍♂️️

  235. vanitasvitae

    emus, I guess you have to remove the leading "/" from the image link

  236. emus

    okay, but also for pelican?

  237. emus

    I focus on what pelican wants to see

  238. peetah

    no you have to keep the leading /

  239. emus

    ok

  240. peetah

    this is how the blog post linked above did, and it is perfectly rendered on the web site

  241. vanitasvitae

    okay, havent used pelican

  242. vanitasvitae

    just for markdown you'd have to remove the slash.

  243. peetah

    if images was in the same folder as the md, which is not the case

  244. peetah

    if "images" folder was in the same folder as the md, which is not the case

  245. emus

    we will see tomorrow

  246. peetah

    emus: you created the folder in "master" : should'nt have been created in newsletter-july2020 branch and then merged with the rest of your PR ?

  247. peetah

    I have absolutely no clue about the possible consequences

  248. emus

    fuck, I knew I did something wrong

  249. emus

    how was that possible 🙈️

  250. peetah

    not wrong, open to improvements :)

  251. emus

    but wait - in the master branch everything is fine?

  252. peetah

    it is

  253. pep.

    fwiw, if the image is meant to stay it might be best just to leave it there

  254. vanitasvitae

    Oh boy, dat commit history 😛

  255. pep.

    since it's a big binary file, otherwise you're gonna have git storing big diffs

  256. peetah

    I would have used "newsletters" rather than "newsletter" though

  257. pep.

    renaming should be fine

  258. pep.

    I think

  259. emus

    vanitasvitae: 🙄 I know I know

  260. emus

    I used newsletter because thats the general top term. details will come if you click it

  261. emus

    vanitasvitae: If you have well experience you can sqatsch the commits but I rather leave my hands of foe today 🤐

  262. emus

    vanitasvitae: If you are well experience you can sqatsch the commits but I rather leave my hands of foe today 🤐

  263. emus

    vanitasvitae: If you are well experienced you can sqatsch the commits but I rather leave my hands of foe today 🤐

  264. vanitasvitae

    squashing on master is a bad idea

  265. vanitasvitae

    guess for that it's too late.

  266. vanitasvitae

    In general, you should work in feature branches and merge those into master once you are ready.

  267. vanitasvitae

    It may be a good idea to make the master branch protected, so that nobody can directly push to it

  268. peetah

    can't we just reset master to the latest good commit ?

  269. emus

    vanitasvitae: Yeah, I wonder actually why that is not the case

  270. vanitasvitae

    peetah, sure, but maybe someone/something already pulled and will then have to deal with merge conflicts and stuff

  271. emus

    but on the other side we need someone to continuiously manage this

  272. vanitasvitae

    protecting the branch is a good thing imho

  273. vanitasvitae

    that way you can only contribute to it via merge requests

  274. emus

    yeah

  275. pep.

    yeah maybe ask iteam. It's also good to do that just to avoid common mistakes

  276. vanitasvitae

    yup

  277. emus

    Now I ruined it for everyone 😄

  278. pep.

    haha

  279. emus

    No fun anymore guys ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  280. vanitasvitae

    quick! hide it under a ton of good commits!!!

  281. peetah

    :D

  282. emus

    Haha - actually I wonder how I commited to the wrong branch. it is hard in the Github interface 🤔

  283. vanitasvitae

    😀

  284. emus

    Enough crazy commits for today. Thanks everyone for helping out and create the release for tomorrow. The new draft PR is already open. From now on only wonderful perfect commits 🙂

  285. peetah

    thanks emus for your work on this new newsletter

  286. emus

    Sure - now we all dance XMPP like YMCA:

    interesting. So dino sends [person gesuring no][join][male symbol][emojify][emojify] This makes sense to some degree, but [emojify] is often not needed. [male symbol] = ♂ [male symbol][emojify] = ♂️ [person gesturing no] = 🙅 [person gesturing no][join][male symbol] = 🙅‍♂ [person gesturing no][join][male symbol][emojify] = 🙅‍♂️ [person gesturing no][join][male symbol][emojify][emojify] = 🙅‍♂️️ [person gesturing no][join][male symbol][emojify][emojify][emojify] = 🙅‍♂️️️

    Hi. I think it would be much easier for the team if the commteam would have an own repository where they can work. Maybe it's possible to give just access to this reposiory and the team would be able to work on master for the daily work.

  345. emus

    DebXWoody: yes, I think we try to keep it easy. I will wait if there is any outcome of the Gitlab question. But lets keep that in mind fir the september release

  346. DebXWoody

    question?

  347. DebXWoody

    What is the question?

  348. emus

    DebXWoody: jonas was evaluating if Gitlab is interesting for XSF

  349. DebXWoody

    Ah,... +1, this would be nice. I would also start to help on some topics for XSF.

  350. peetah

    I'm not sure if being interesting is really the question… the real question is rather what burden will it bring and who is going to administrate the beast.

  351. DebXWoody

    administrate the beast?

  352. pep.

    peetah, it's not gitlab but gitlab.com

  353. pep.

    So same as github.com

  354. pep.

    "same", admin-wise

  355. peetah

    I mean , being independent vs depending on a microsoft owned closed source forge => no brainer

  356. peetah

    ahhhh I thought we were talking about an independant instance of gitlab

  357. DebXWoody

    I think is not requiered to have an own server. gitlab.com would be fine.

  358. pep.

    DebXWoody, well.. moving from github.com to gitlab.com because you want to stop depending on Microsoft is somewhat missing the point :p

  359. peetah

    not for me: I've been there and fled when they changed their ToS to include sharing data with third parties

  360. pep.

    There are other reasons to do this move, but this is not really one IMO

  361. DebXWoody

    pep.: It's not only Microsoft. GoogleAPI, closed software, etc. I prefer codeberg.org, but gitlab has more features and is also quite nice.

    what is codeberg ? I see several projects moving there, but I did not take the time to gather information about this platform.

    Suggestion: I think the "Help us to build the newsletter" part would fit better in the end of the newsletter. It's rather long and has a rather narrow target group. With the current layout, everything I see when opening the newsletter is not actually news content. I'd also consider moving the "Subscribe to the newsletter" to the end - after the reader has seen how great the newsletter is and not before. ( cc emus )

  390. emus

    Okay, interesting point. I would be okay to change this. Other opinions?

  391. pep.

    Yeah I think I agree with both points

  392. pep.

    I'd be interesting to know if putting "subscribe to the newsletter" at the top is actually efficient in terms of getting people to subscribe, and also in terms of getting people to read the article (not close it because "pff I don't want to subscribe" or similar)

  393. emus

    ldkjgoiwe: Lets see if most agrees or have other suggestion - then - if you want create a PR and suggest the actual changes. Would that be possible for you?

    pep.: I think that does not really happen. people have educated good filters for stuff they dont care about in the internet

  397. emus

    But I think its okay to first give peopl what they wanna read

  398. wurstsalat

    emus: I'd put the 'help us' part at the end as well. don't know about the subscribe part

  399. emus

    ok, I think both is fine. most have subscribed anyway and if they want to they likely will fine it there aswell. so we dont both readers with stuff they know

  400. pep.

    Tbh I'm not subscribed to it as I'll see it anyway either here or on mastodon or.. I wonder what is the target of the newsletter really, and who actually subscribes :p

  401. pep.

    Talking of Mastodon, did Nyco share credentials with anybody else in commteam?

  402. pep.

    Nÿco, ^

  403. pep.

    It's very inactive at the moment

  404. Nÿco

    Nope

  405. pep.

    Is it possible?

  406. emus

    pep.: there are people subscribed
