I usally like to send patches if possible rather than long emails with "replace 'teh' with 'the' in the 4th paragraph" 19:12:43 #info installation guide was rewritten (still some TODOs) and integrated into anaconda 19:12:51 jzb, hey, I like patches - but I don't want someone to read and think "it would be better if this topic was expanded more in this direction, but I don't have time for a patch, so I'm not going to say anything at all" 19:12:53 randomuser: it might be worth having something about how you should use the Server netinst for Workstation network installs (and generally that the 'Server' netinst is really generic) 19:13:08 randomuser: anaconda has grown a whole bunch of Help screens, yup. 19:13:13 nice job on that 19:13:16 adamw, if that's not in there, I need to refresh 19:13:26 randomuser: it may be, i didn't look yet 19:13:31 just the first thing that came to mind 19:13:39 the help screens are all from pbokoc, who has been a juggernaut this release 19:14:02 randomuser: ack 19:14:28 thanks for all work randomuser and rest of the team, anything else? 19:14:55 thanks, and nothing else from me 19:15:12 #topic FESCo 19:15:23 section 2.2.2 - it reads "Fedora Documentation Server", it should read just "Fedora Server" 19:15:28 nirik, sgallagh, mattdm: anything from FESCo? 19:15:42 nope. we should be all good to go. 19:15:54 danofsatx-work, -docs would be better, but thanks 19:16:01 np 19:16:14 I have nothing 19:16:21 #info FESCo is all good to go 19:17:31 I'm going to skip Fedora Engineering Manager, stickster is off-site today 19:17:41 #topic Fedora Project Leader 19:17:52 mattdm: anything from FPL for F21 release? 19:18:08 I expect release announcement for you will be ready on Monday 19:18:31 jreznik: that's correct, but that's under mktg, yeah? ;-) 19:18:49 jzb: it is, just heads up for mattdm 19:19:46 other question I have are elections, we're now almost post release but I'm not sure it makes sense to start it before holidays, Jan seems more doable 19:19:58 me wakes up :) 19:20:07 good morning sir! 19:20:08 jreznik: didn't we just have one? 19:20:09 Yes I think the announcement is in hand. 19:20:18 also reviewing red hat press release 19:20:31 good idea 19:20:37 jzb: There was a Council election, but FESCo and others are still upcoming 19:20:43 ah, right 19:20:49 jzb: council but we have fesco, fosco and env and stacks coming 19:20:50 mattdm: I'm butchering it as well, er reviewing 19:20:54 I think january makes sense for fesco and famsco (possibly fosco?) 19:21:12 jzb: cool. I was mostly concerned with the fpl quote :) 19:21:35 we are usually tight to release + max one month but it this case I'd say let's start early Jan (also to have a gap between council and this elections) 19:21:51 anything else mattdm? 19:23:19 I don't think so 19:23:30 thanks, moving on 19:23:33 but if anyone has something they want me to do or know, please tell me :) 19:23:44 #topic Design 19:23:51 omzim: thanks for coming! 19:23:58 sorry about my time zone issues 19:25:08 omzim: np, tz are standard meetings killer 19:25:15 the only design issues that were of any risk or concern that im aware of was the product specific branding (Bz 1155228) which looks like it's resolved as of rc1 19:25:22 the other was the wallpaper, which is more complicated 19:25:52 so there is this one on the wallpaper, which should be fixed 1143981 19:25:58 omzim: I can confirm RC5 looks good, there were some issues with colors and usability but sgallagh was able to fix it 19:26:04 then there was the one where we're overlaying the logo on top of the wallpaper via a gnome shell plugin 19:26:09 i dont know the status of that 19:26:16 omzim: Actually, there's one issue with 32-bit, but we decided to run with it anyway 19:26:37 For some reason, the 32-bit Server installer is using the "generic" Fedora branding, rather than the Fedora Server branding. 19:26:38 jreznik, sgallagh - does the fedora logo appear on the wallpaper in rc5? 19:26:44 sgallagh, ugh that's annoying 19:26:49 sgallagh, any idea why? 19:27:11 We haven't figured it out yet. We're not heavily promoting the 32-bit version, so it's low-priority. 19:27:17 We assume a compose hiccup of some sort 19:27:32 makes sense 19:27:39 other than that, i've got nothing to report :) 19:27:40 The 64-bit works fine, so... 19:28:02 omzim: I tried only kde image, no extension and for generic theming I have one issue - black title on top of dark blue background is hard to read 19:28:13 did anyone try 32-bit live, btw? 19:28:24 I did 19:28:31 worked fine, installed fine 19:28:41 I did on RC2 I think 19:28:44 roshi: Did it have the Product branding? 19:28:46 jreznik, i dont nkow who maintains / selects the kde theming? but design team doesn't 19:28:46 saw no issues - and I think satellit did as well for RC5 19:28:53 iirc it did 19:28:55 jreznik, was this an issue in anaconda or kde? 19:28:59 omzim: I mean in anaconda 19:29:00 * roshi checks - still has the vm 19:29:25 there shouldn't be titles on top of the theme artwork for anaconda 19:29:29 I tried RC5 Could version 64, all the desktops and options available there, not like Server version. 19:29:35 "Fedora" is on the desktop 19:29:42 *Cloud 19:29:48 "fedora" is on the desktop but we're talking about anaconda right? 19:29:52 * omzim is very confused now 19:29:54 #info product specific branding (Bz 1155228) is fixed with some sort of issues in 32 bit server 19:30:39 branding looks good in 32bit anaconda as well 19:30:46 does that answer the questions? 19:30:49 32-bit live workstation does have the branding, just 32-bit server dvd/netinst that doesn't. huh. 19:30:51 omzim: I mean titles/labels in spokes (there's blue background in header)... I don't have screenshot and that's not a big deal, with generic fedora branding on kde live 19:31:01 we're going to work with releng and anaconda team to solve this in a better way for f22 so whatever went wrong with 32 bit server is academic at this point. 19:31:10 yep 19:31:20 jreznik, ohhhh weird. that's probably a css issue, easy to fix, is there a bug for it? 19:31:29 anyone can confirm logo overlay went into gnome? 19:31:32 obvs not a blocker but we should get it fixed at some point 19:31:35 omzim: I'll report it tomorrow 19:31:38 did for me jreznik 19:31:41 32bit 19:31:49 adamw, Even 64 it doesn't have. 19:32:12 jalalsfs: i don't think you're talking about the same thing as the rest of us. 19:32:13 adamw: workstation/server difference is easy to explain because the livecd is an entirely different (kickstart hack!) process 19:32:20 mattdm: ah, k. 19:32:57 _that_ one turned out to be the easy one-liner I was expecting. server/cloud turned out to be hellish rabbit hole 19:33:25 so we still have some work to polish branding for f22 but it's mostly there and looking great 19:33:55 anything else that's still needed from design team as last minute call? 19:34:22 anyone? bueller? bueller? 19:34:32 task add "file f22 feature for improving differentiated branding (lorax, pungi, anaconda, design team, working groups, oh my)" 19:34:51 that's a good task 19:35:08 deadline: alpha. 19:35:50 #action file f22 feature for improving differentiated branding (lorax, pungi, anaconda, design team, working groups, oh my) with alpha deadline 19:36:06 ok, if there's nothing else, I'll move on, thanks omzim 19:36:12 o/ 19:36:16 sure 19:36:29 #topic Marketing 19:36:34 jzb: your turn 19:36:38 woot 19:36:56 Release announcement is pretty much done. Need to formatize it for Fedora Magazine and email 19:37:20 We should try to produce a cloud, server, and workstation article for Fedora Magazine as well 19:37:29 #info release announcement is pretty much done. Need to formatize it for Fedora Magazine and email 19:37:38 not necessarily for F21 release date but in the following week 19:38:06 so we are all green on the mktg side unless there's something I'm forgetting. 19:38:09 EOF 19:38:38 jzb: do you want to do the magazine post or do you want me to do it? 19:38:53 jreznik: I'll take care of it - I'm sure you have enough on your plate :-D 19:39:09 jzb: thanks! 19:39:28 moving on 19:39:29 #topic Infrastructure 19:39:41 nirik: are you around?

We are still working on it but I'm sure all bits will be in place for tuesday ;) 19:45:13 (as opposed to adamw's fine work figuring out how to do it outside of the distro itself.) 19:45:21 * adamw looks at the 'make an f21 final-ish release of fedlet' item on his personal todo list 19:45:34 oh come on, adamw, you cant expect me to keep up with every joe's blog 19:45:41 pjones: that's an insult to all fine things. 19:45:54 adamw: I think I'm okay insulting all fine things. 19:46:11 i didn't get to testing the 32-on-64 stuff yet :( hopefully i'll be able to slot it into the pre-f22 'quiet' time. 19:46:15 adamw, joking aside, I do regularly refer these kind of questions to your blog 19:46:17 er, 64-on-32. 19:46:17 randomuser: hey 19:46:20 ykwim. 19:46:22 #info websites had some bugs to fix, because our scripts didn't work as expected on the new website, but we should be done now (hopefully).
