Fixing the jclouds blog
Hi All,
I wanted to write a blog post for jclouds.org/news<http://jclouds.org/news> about my upcoming jclouds workshop at Gluecon so I wandered over to jclouds.org/news<http://jclouds.org/news> first. When you get there you'll see the authentication dialog [1].
>From the page source I see it's pulling posts in from Tumblr. From the page source of the jclouds Tumblr blog I see some references to the old jclouds Google Code site (now deleted), which may be causing the problem.
Two questions:
1. Can someone with access to the Tumblr site remove the references to Google Code and see if that clears up the problem?
2. How can I write a blog post for jclouds.org/news?<http://jclouds.org/news?> Do I need access to Tumblr?
Thanks,
Everett

I viewed the rendered html and scrubbed all the googlecode links, so the
auth dialog won't pop up.
Basic suggestion wrt blog is to redirect blog.jclouds.org ->
www.jclouds.org/news(or blog). add your own blog entry there (statically
defined), and perhaps have a link to http://www.tumblr.com/blog/jclouds for
old content.
-A
p.s. food for thought on mini-blogs.
Real blogs are less maintenance, javascript/css to fix, etc. However, some
don't have apache or git auth, which is the current issue with tumblr.
If we don't want or can't find a suitable "real blog", I find the blog on
netflix easy enough: http://netflix.github.io/#blog
people just add a new file with minimal markup here:
https://github.com/Netflix/netflix.github.com/tree/master/blogs
then add a link to it into js/model.js like..
var blogs = [
new BlogSpec('mockwebserver', 'March 8, 2013', "Why mock servers that
don't mock matter"),
new BlogSpec('meetup-2', 'March 7, 2013', 'NetflixOSS Meetup - Season
1, Episode 2')
];
provided this is guarded with a jekyll validation, it is a short and
sweet alt to real blogs.

fwiw tumblr broke because we deleted the old jclouds project, which forced
all the old links to ask for authentication. I'm mainly in favor of
removing tumblr as it isn't easy to collaborate there.

I don't think it's the news.md that's the problem, and tumblr seems to work
fine for me. I don't have access to post on the jclouds blog though.
Seems like if this is so poorly maintained, perhaps it should just be
removed?

Hi, Everett.
I'd recommend sending a pull request to jclouds.github.com to replace
news.md with static content for now. There's no sense continuing
investment in tumblr.

Re: Fixing the jclouds blog

Hey Adrian,
When I go to http://www.tumblr.com/blog/jclouds/submit I just get kicked back to http://blog.jclouds.org/ with no chance to submit something. I signed up for a Tumblr account and that didn't have any effect.
The authentication dialog is still popping up for http://jclouds.org/news which is no good. The following Tumblr posts have references to http://code.google.com/p/jclouds
* jclouds 1.5.3 out the door
* fluency for paginated api lists
* jclouds 1.3 released!
* jclouds 1.2 released!
* Catching exceptions with less keystrokes
* jclouds-s3 beta released
I really think those refs need to be removed to stop the auth dialog from popping up.
Regards,
Everett
