From YouTube: Ignite talks - Twitter as code

Description

Brief talk highlighting how the memkins account allows us to use "Twitter as Code" to share memes related to Jenkins

A

B

Okay, goodbye so again thanks everyone uh who joined our sessions. I hope you like the breakouts uh I participated, maybe in six breakout sessions, all of them were awesome with a lot of discussions.

B

We will have a closing session with some follow-ups, but before that the idea was to have a session of ignite talks and the idea for this ignite talks actually to just again share any kind of experiences and to chat a lot.

B

So have you already seen the agenda for ignite talks?

B

Okay, then I'll screen share just second, I need to close a few tabs so that I see something in my tabs.

B

Okay, so we are recording anyway right, uh so I'm showing my screen. Do you see it uh so before we start one of the things, I want to say that uh you have a feedback form. So if you haven't uh seen the link yet again kind reminder feedback is welcome and yeah this time this sponsors t-shirts.

B

So if you want a special t-shirt like that, uh you can just submit feedback and that's all you need to do and yeah, uh let's continue with actually unite talks, so what we have on the list.

B

So the current idea that we will basically go through the list, and if you have some ideas, then please just put them in the bottom of the list, so we will be continuing them until we either run out of time or out out of sessions and yeah. What we have next uh first twitter has code application for life at data science with honest: how sheet git credentials is? How should here yes yeah?

B

Then we have a session about the inputs of naming angelic is not here, but I will briefly pitch it. So it's the topic we are able to do then celebrating contributions and uh highlighting contributors and launching jenkins from caffon again, if you just have time, because why not?

B

Okay and again, if you have ideas, just put them here, uh so this one is a rather fun event, that's something so I will use it only if nobody wants it to present anything more useful. So, first of all twitter s code who did participate in our session yesterday, we were doing uh a broad feeder together with mark.

B

Did everyone participate? Okay, do you like mems and joke.

B

So good news that, if you like them, we have a special twitter account for you now. This twitter account is called uh mempkins. It was created a while ago um and what we have here- yeah nice logo, of course inspired by mementos and well when it finally loads, because I'm not sure what happens, you will see a lot of images, uh okay, yeah, so something like that. Some memes are related to jenkins.

B

Some are not here's, for example uh our slide from uh presentation with mark, because why not is definitely something about mems and yeah like that, and for example, yesterday, when I was doing berserj, uh I posted this uh tweet and actually what I wanted to show. You is, of course, not a mems channel, but how it actually works under the hood, because it's actually twitter's code, at least for some posts.

B

uh So there is a repository called jenkins and mementos or sorry mempkins, and this is a repository actually powered by github actions, and this repository uses twitter together. So it's a standard, github action created for posting twitter and it was created by one of it sorry github employees. It works pretty well and I was experimenting uh we started to for making all uh jenkins twitter accounts managed by code, and I still intend to do that, but yeah I needed playground, hence memphians and yeah.

B

So if you're interested how it looks like so, there is some pull request, template, etc, and there is also a pipeline which basically does two type things. Firstly, it allows doing previews and when you create pull requests, and secondly, it allows tweeting when you actually do something more useful and you can see that it accesses twitter as a app. So you need to register it, but after that you can use it as an action and here, for example, uh yeah.

B

Well, basically, it's all we have in this repository- and this is tweets so this, for example, what I created uh uh uh last time, hello, world mems, are coming and yeah just a link to the repository. So there are some limitations right now. It supports only open graph. You can embed the images which is a kind of fatal flaws for memphians, so I wanted to actually a combine and there is another tool which can generate mems from some text and the images.

B

So I wanted to create a github action for them and create a chain, so we define ms code and then it generates image and posts the image, but I haven't got to that yet so maybe it will be a topic for my break in the coming weeks because yeah I'm taking a break from the jinx community, and I will definitely do something awkward like that. But yeah, let's see uh so, let's actually see how it works in practice.

B

um Does anyone want to post something.

B

Okay, so how it works u.s contributor here we can create a new file. Actually, it's not may anymore it's june and, for example, here what what we could keep with mems, etc. I'm not sure.

B

B

So how we can do that zoom bombing.

B

So what I would be looking for is that basically any article which has embedded.

B

Open graph, so something like that: uh okay, let's try! So we have an article from new york times and I'm gonna do something weird, because that's why we have a slide because slack resolves opening graphs so how I usually test it, something like that zoom bombing!

B

Well, actually they are boring so register. So if you want something on.

B

Ok, so I assume that the register has a cool open graph as usual right zomboven attacks, texas sounds fun right. What.

B

Was another another fun right.

B

You had one job at the register.

B

Okay, so yeah, I think that uh let's uh stop. uh uh Thank you that uh okay, I can adjust the delete within the worst case right. So let's take this the register.

B

Oh no, let's, let's take the boring one right.

B

And yeah, where we have so we put the link and what's the detail on boring when the video conferences go wrong,.

B

B

B

Okay with this ignite talks, we will definitely use all the time right, but well jenkins, contributor summit uh goes wrong so and then we create requests because we'll test preview, I think okay, it's about the name right, so we create the repository.

B

uh Currently, I believe it has code owners configured or maybe not. I believe that at least I was interested to configure them.

B

Let's see, no, I don't so if you want to join memphians copy editors, please let me know so here what you can see that we have tweet and you can see that there is a bunch of things uh triggering and there is preview.

B

It took just one second, because everything is cached quite well and his preview, but it doesn't actually embed uh open draft. So it's not really helpful anyway, for this particular use case anyway yeah.

B

So, let's assume that somebody reviews it and then we just post it- and here you see that branch was automatically deleted, etc and then what do we get here?.

B

Yeah, it takes some time because, after the match, uh what happens? Actually there is another github action being triggered. It takes a bit longer because it actually needs to connect to twitter api. So I was a bit optimistic and here you can see that the result should actually feedback that it was tweeted, so it even uh puts the status on the text. You just go to the hyperlink and and.

B

Done so well, yeah, assuming that you have open glass, it's nice and we can automate that, but I think that would be a good engine for things like release, announcements, request, announcements, because github page deletes actions uh automatically now sorry open graphs. So if you use github, you can actually do a lot of cool stuff. Basically, we could automate the jenkins releases, uh especially when github supports open graph for releases.

B

We could highlight people requests basically with zero effort, so let's say it uh which is five likes and we automatically generate a pull request for jenkins releases or for gen pci, which has highlights this tweet sorry a pull request, and then we just review it. Maybe added some text and the push to that. So we can leverage this twitter as code for a lot of content. We can, for example, automate the tweeting from a community jenkins io.

B

By putting triggers, we could automate tweeting releases of jenkins for plugins in our pipelines, so as an engine twitter code is very promising, and I think that we should actually keep exploring that and the new accounts I will be creating, for example, for french speaking community. I will be connecting them to twitter's code right away. I'm looking for contributors, which is more difficult than automating, as you know, but yeah I will be doing it as well.

B

So yeah it wasn't exactly internet talk, but I hope you enjoyed it and you're welcome. Try it out. So it's all open source.

A

That was a live demo that you actually, you know, made an entertaining post from. That's. That's! That's! No joke! That's not the easiest task, all right like well! I.

B

Find it a meme just like got it yeah, it was completely unprepared stay tuned for my last live demo when I will be creating a tweet in french and prepared. This is worse.
