We have seen some new folks around too 14:18:17 victorybrown_[m], we are meeting if you would like to join 14:19:33 as a summary from the meetup, we want to move forward with two things. A long term strategy to improve the team overall, and moving from fedora womens day to fedora week of diversity. 14:20:02 <3 14:20:10 #topic tickets 14:20:15 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issue/195 14:20:32 I see some folks showing interest there, awesome :) 14:20:55 I feel the first step for Fedora Week of Diversity is choosing a theme or structure which will help inform how we plan the event 14:22:19 I really enjoy jwf's idea to highlight/capitalize on some of the things we already do 14:22:31 I am thinking of happiness packets, fedora appreciation week, and the contributor stories 14:23:36 I love contributors stories 14:23:43 would be amazing to see more of those 14:24:40 Agreed! 14:25:20 Part of our efforts could be to gather more contributor stories and/or promoting the happiness packets & FAW 14:25:37 I think that's the best way to do it. Put Fedora's best foot forward on the things we have done well. Show them strong, as part of building D&I back up. 14:25:54 I think we could potentially do something secondary with the content we get from those efforts 14:26:21 riecatnor, just wondering if we are thinking of reviving fedora happiness packet or just use *the* happiness packet 14:26:35 s/packet/packets 14:27:17 So say we working on promoting those efforts, got some traction, collected some content.. and then we took that in a variety of directions: thinking about the arts & crafts aspect, thinking about making videos/animations, maybe a play?? transforming these into stories that folks can engage in better than paragraphs of text 14:27:32 siddharthvipul, good question, I would need to look into where the project is at currently 14:27:52 I think it was hosted on communishift (which is gone unfortunately) 14:28:08 I see 14:28:09 jwf, do correct me if I am wrong (about where it was hosted) 14:28:52 oh, on fedora infra cloud 14:30:27 we could choose one story and work on making a video for it 14:31:46 OK, so I think we agree (the folks here today at least :)) that we should base our week of diversity on these projects that are already in existence. What we do with them is still in question 14:31:56 I'm excited I ended up with a holiday that Friday 😎 Orthodox Good Friday 14:31:59 Are we changing FWD from "Fedora Women Day" to "Fedora Week of Diversity"? 14:32:03 For the release party 14:32:21 x3mboy, yes, we made the decision at the d&i team meet up 14:32:26 I am +1 for that 14:32:27 nice jwf 14:33:24 since we kind of have a base for FWD, I think the next step is to look into the each of these and come back to the ticket with a status report 14:33:48 (if it is working, if it is active, if it needs some work to get going, etc) 14:34:22 siddharthvipul: No, you are right. FHP was going to be in Communishift, which never ended up happening 14:34:40 The project needs devops love, specifically on getting it into a secure production environment 14:35:04 There was a lot of good work we did with FHP… if it were live, we could even have badges for sending and receiving packets 14:35:13 Anyways, sorry for off-topic 14:35:34 +1 riecatnor, re: status report 14:35:38 not off topic actually :) 14:35:57 that is part of the status report we want hehe 14:36:02 @jwflory, thank you! it would be easy to have an aws ec2 instance if we still want it (wondering how much code base is deployment ready) 14:36:04 I am taking notes for the ticket right now 14:36:58 why ec2? because as much as I would love to see it in communishift, that's going no where for now (don't know how long it will take) and Fedora's Infra is limited 14:37:23 siddharthvipul: We're talking Django 14:37:31 We modernized so much of the code base from upstream Happiness Packets 14:37:39 Python 3, Django 2, etc 14:37:50 It should be ready to go for anyone that has ever deployed a Django site 14:37:57 We also have containerized it, I think 14:38:08 riecatnor, @jwflory, it could be a good thing to discuss with help with webdev sig.. if the code is ready, deployment shouldn't be much effort 14:38:12 We definitely did for local development, just trying to remember if our container was ready for production 14:38:29 siddharthvipul: yes, although not sure if that will manifest in time for FWD? 14:38:47 oh right, that's a different thing 14:38:52 It could. But we'd probably need to look at the Websites & Apps objective and what we are promising to do already 14:39:26 I don't want to burden them yet, they are working through some organizational things still :) 14:39:55 My thought is, since we have some skills here on the team :D we could do a hackfest to get it back up? 14:40:23 It is possible, although just want to be mindful of not biting off more than we can chew 14:40:38 so, jwf, do you think we shouldn' 14:40:41 t focus on HP 14:40:41 But it could be a weekend's amount of work, if we had an OpenShift expert 14:41:05 I think it is a big task. We could just use https://happinesspackets.io this year too 14:41:19 hmm, I know my way around openshift (or can also create an aws vm if needed), but no way an expert 14:41:22 And during this year, start thinking of how to get FHP deployed 14:41:31 @jwflory, what kind of thing (as in openshift expert) 14:41:44 Packaging and deploying a containerized Django web app. 14:41:50 With a database. 14:41:55 I think it uses Postgres. 14:41:55 that shouldn't be too complex 14:42:21 FHP? 14:42:30 That's the ask :) I know FHP, but my container and OpenShift knowledge is super rusty. 14:42:30 Oh wait, no I get it now, back on track 14:42:32 i sense siddharthvipul is going to try getting this up?!? 14:43:04 riecatnor, haha, since I am not familiar with code, if there is any issue there, might not be able to help :P 14:43:06 Mouse: all good :D FHP == Fedora Happiness Packets for any other confused folks 14:43:08 when i wrote "HP" i thought harry potter? hewlet packard? 14:43:11 lol 14:43:14 Lolol 14:43:25 https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/fedora-happiness-packets 14:43:34 That whole thing. 14:43:37 HPMoR, not I need to read it (my favorite fiction) 14:43:43 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/fedora-happiness-packets 14:43:48 siddharthvipul: the code is not an issue, there might be small things we need to update but most of the work to-do should be in the container 14:44:02 We got far on the code in Outreachy 2019 14:44:12 Just underplanned on the deployment part of the timeline 14:44:20 Harry potter, big part of my life, .....horrible author v.v. Anyway, don't want to start tangent there. 14:44:32 Mouse: :D relatable tho 14:44:35 oof, yea. I think a lot of us have those feels 14:44:52 so, this convo seems productive, tho I am wondering if someone can sum it up in the ticket? 14:44:54 pagure.issue.comment.added -- riecatnor commented on ticket fedora-diversity#195: "Future of FWD: Fedora Week of Diversity Planning" https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issue/195#comment-727474 14:45:21 siddharthvipul: do you want to take this one or me? 14:46:02 @jwflory, I would like to help but as I am totally unaware of where it's at (hearing you makes me feel it's not very far), I am still not sure if I can commit 14:46:13 can I take some time to explore and deploy in a test openshift over the weekend? 14:46:27 Oh I just mean the ticket comment lol 14:46:35 oh lol, sure! 14:46:40 I think we need one more meeting to plan requirements 14:46:42 Before leaping in 14:47:21 riecatnor: Alright, we'll take it to the ticket until next time 🙂 14:47:38 great! Looking at contributor stories rn 14:47:40 siddharthvipul++ for taking the follow-up ticket comment 14:47:45 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/contributor-stories 14:47:50 Anything in particular about them? 14:48:01 Oh, actually I guess a lot of folks here might not know about them yet? 14:48:34 well, just wondering how that works, and how we can make it work in relation to FWD 14:48:39 reading the repo now :)O 14:48:47 #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/contributor-stories/ 14:48:49 there is also this 14:49:01 Maybe do a call for stories in the Magazine? 14:49:18 I think it may be more effective on the comm blog 14:49:28 and also more informal social platforms 14:50:07 During Fedora Appreciation Week, new Community Blog posts will be published daily with excerpts or copies of the stories. 14:50:19 pagure.issue.comment.added -- siddharthvipul1 commented on ticket fedora-diversity#195: "Future of FWD: Fedora Week of Diversity Planning" https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issue/195#comment-727475 14:50:47 And...new book mark. So much to learn about fedora ;) 14:51:10 jwf, question, did FAW happen in 2019 or 2020? 14:51:31 (last FAW thing on commblog shows a date of 2018) 14:51:56 No 14:52:02 Just 2018 14:52:07 ok ok 14:52:36 did you coordinate that? did you find it to be a lot of work? 14:55:35 maybe we can chat more about that later jwf or if you have reflections on FAW or contributor stories and what needs to happen to get those going, feel free to add to the ticket. 14:55:53 I was one of the coordinating folks but it was really a team effort. 14:56:20 Most of the hard work was on communication. Getting folks to know this is a thing we are doing, where and how to submit stories, when they can expect to see things go live, etc 14:56:52 The execution was fairly simple to me. For the CommBlog posts, I made a template and then copy-pasted things from Pagure into the CommBlog 14:57:01 (during Appreciation Week, I mean) 14:57:52 cool, i captured that feedback 14:58:06 we are running short on time, jwf can you provide a quick piece of feedback on FAW overall? 14:58:20 was it made up of contributor stories and FHP? 14:58:33 were there additional aspects? 15:01:20 guess jwf had to go for now :) 15:01:23 as do i! 15:01:35 thank you folks for the good brainstorm 15:01:42 #endmeeting
