Merging two team account in launchpad
On 2009-06-13,
I’ve requested the merge of two teams:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-my with https://launchpad.net/~malaysianteam to be https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-my.
We just want it to be more official Ubuntu Loco team as ~ubuntu-my already been approved as subteam of Ubuntu Local Community Teams and Approved LoCo team rather than ~malaysianteam. It easier to manage ~ubuntu-my such as contact for loco team and LoCo Directory.
So i create a question at launchpad here
After about a month, my question get solved then i manage to merged the two team with the help of Launchpad Team for solving this bugs on Launchpad and also thanks to Andreas Moog for his helpful script and his effort.
So here i would like to share amoog script:

newteam = “ubuntu-my”
def connect_lp():
# For now, use the staging environment
try:
from launchpadlib.launchpad import Launchpad, EDGE_SERVICE_ROOT
from launchpadlib.errors import HTTPError
from launchpadlib.credentials import Credentials
except ImportError:
print(“ERROR: it seems that python-launchpadlib is not installed”)
exit(1)
launchpad = None
# the credentials and cache-dir used by py-lp-lib
lp_cred = os.path.abspath(‘./lpbinding/moveteams-lplib-cred’)
lp_cache_dir = os.path.abspath(‘./lpbinding/cache’)
# load stored LP credentials
try:
print(“Get Launchpad Settings”)
lp_cred_file = open(lp_cred, ‘r’)
credentials = Credentials()
credentials.load(lp_cred_file)
lp_cred_file.close()
launchpad = Launchpad(credentials, EDGE_SERVICE_ROOT, lp_cache_dir)
except IOError:
launchpad = Launchpad.get_token_and_login(‘moveteams’, EDGE_SERVICE_ROOT, lp_cache_dir)
lp_cred_file = open(lp_cred, ‘w’)
launchpad.credentials.save(lp_cred_file)
lp_cred_file.close()
if launchpad is None:
print(“Something bad happened: I can’t connect to Launchpad
.”)
print(“Launchpad connection is working”)
# TODO: Implement support for arbitrary projects
return launchpad
launchpad = connect_lp()
members = launchpad.people[oldteam].members
for member in members:
print “Adding %s to the team” % member.display_name
try:
launchpad.people[newteam].addMember(person=member, status=”Approved”)
except HTTPError as error:
print “The error %s has occured” % error
Thanks also to Ubuntu-MY LoCo Member for their support and VOTES
Launchpad read-only 22.00-23.00 UTC, 22 July 2009
Launchpad will be in read-only mode for an hour on Wednesday, 22nd July
while we roll out new code.
Going read-only:         22.00 UTC, Wednesday 22 July 2009
Expected back to normal: 23.00 UTC, Wednesday 22 July 2009
There will be a couple of minutes around 22.00 UTC during which
Launchpad is unavailable while we switch into read-only mode, and then
another couple of minutes again when we switch back to read-write.
Note that’s “UTC”. Actual time in your time zone may be different, and
remember Britain is in BST right now, which is 1 hour later than UTC.
Watch this list for details of the new release later this week.
Best,
