I thought we had a plumbed room. 17:25:26 #link https://riot.im/app/#/room/#freenode_#fedora-join:matrix.org -> use riot to hang out in #fedora-join 17:25:37 #info FranciscoD send out logs to ML, update wiki page - was DONE 17:25:59 #info x3mboy will search on other onboarding processes on other teams -> I'm not sure what the context was, will revisit later when x3mboy is around 17:26:22 That looks like everything we had planned last tme 17:26:37 #topic New items 17:26:54 Would anyone like to help skamath_ with classroom sessions? 17:27:05 Having a single point of failure, as we're seeing now, is not ideal 17:27:17 I think I'll file a ticket for this 17:27:36 FranciscoD: What kind of help? 17:28:03 dhanesh95: it's mainly the admin side - get in touch with instructors, schedule the session, help with the magazine post etc 17:28:31 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom#Help_wanted -> we need more help with classroom sessions 17:30:01 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Fedora-Join/issue/40 Make a classroom management team to help the Classroom lead 17:30:05 FranciscoD: I would like to help but it'll be better if we have couple more people 17:30:20 Yeh, should we all make a little more noise about this? 17:30:29 #idea x3mboy do a podcast on the classroom sessions 17:30:44 #idea everyone blog about Fedora Classroom - make sure your blog appears on the planet 17:31:07 dhanesh95: any other ideas on recruitment? 17:31:31 FranciscoD: Blog sounds good. How about another Community Blog post? 17:31:45 #idea Another community blog post on the classrooms 17:31:55 #idea x3mboy do a podcast with someone from Security Team 17:32:06 And let's also share all these posts over Mastodon, Diaspora*, Twitter, et. al 17:32:10 I think we'll have to wait until skamath_ is back and we have another season of classroom sessions scheduled for another commblog post 17:32:30 dukeBarman: i think x3mboy could use some help with the podcasts too - he's a one man team at the moment 17:32:48 #idea discuss with x3mboy how we can build a podcast team if one isn't around already 17:33:15 #idea Share classroom related posts on all social media platforms Fedora is present on 17:33:27 OK, lots of ideas. Awesome! 17:33:35 FranciscoD, more karma to x3mboy :) It's a great work! 17:33:38 The only ticket we have this time is this one: 17:33:52 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Fedora-Join/issue/34 Should we promote https://fedoraproject.org/easyfix/ more? 17:34:10 bexelbie send a nice long post with some ideas too 17:34:24 FranciscoD: Can you give me a quick brief about the classroom sessions? What's the current status and what are we aiming for? 17:34:26 #link https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/commops@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/FQFLE3KOALMGC6XD4S54WUEQF6XPNREJ/#FQFLE3KOALMGC6XD4S54WUEQF6XPNREJ Easyfix + whatcanidoforfedora 17:34:51 dhanesh95: we have a few instructors ready to take them: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom#Help_wanted 17:35:00 gah, the top of the page, not the help wanted section 17:35:15 but since skamath_ has been unwell, we haven't had a manager to help with the setup 17:35:44 We use either IRC, or a video platform - whatever the instructors prefer 17:36:10 The archives of past sessions are also available on the wiki page, at the end 17:37:09 For those that are not aware 17:37:31 #link http://fedoraproject.org/easyfix/ is a list of simple tasks that new folks can work on (hence the "easyfix" name) 17:38:01 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Easyfix -> current documentation on how to add your project to the Easyfix list 17:38:26 So, if you have ideas, please comment on the ticket 17:38:38 these are really good tasks for new folks to sink their teeth in 17:38:47 #action FranciscoD mention easyfix in #fedora-join again 17:39:23 I think I should get in touch with "mindshare" to see what we can do with mentoring 17:39:40 #action FranciscoD Get in touch with the mindshare group to see if we can get mentoring back on track 17:40:03 I haven't anything else to say today, and the agenda is over too. Open floor? 17:40:32 FranciscoD: There are some great ideas from bexelbie on the thread and I can't think of anything else that can add value at the moment. So with the ideas we have currently, how much of the complete implementation falls under Fedora Joins jurisdiction? 17:40:56 s/Joins/Join 17:41:20 hrm, well, I don't know who is "in-charge" of Easyfix as a team. Given that it'll help us help new folks get started, I think we should improve it as much as we can 17:41:31 so, we can volunteer to help implement the changes 17:42:02 it had started off as something the infra team had set up iirc, and now of course, commops wants to help make it better 17:42:20 There aren't a lot of things in Fedora that belong to a single SIG XD 17:42:23 Lots of overlaps 17:42:30 I just want to be sure that we're not stepping on each other's toes. 17:42:56 dhanesh95: ah, no, we can keep the discussion on the commops list if you prefer? 17:43:06 and update the ticket on our pagure when need be 17:43:08 It'll be a waste of time and resources if two SIGs are focusing on the same task. 17:43:32 OK. Should I give a shout to the commops team and "take ownership" of this then? 17:43:34 FranciscoD: We'll go with whatever you suggest here. I'm a bit out of touch to comment on this one. 17:43:45 But we've got to make sure we do find the time to work on it then 17:44:03 oh, here's one that would help us all in general: 17:44:13 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/6579 Fedora hosted survey software 17:44:18 any openshift gurus here? 17:44:36 FranciscoD: How about an OpenShift noob? :P 17:44:39 having limesurvey setup will really help us get feedback over different things. We have no feedback mechanisms here 17:44:46 dhanesh95: do you want to take a crack at it maybe? 17:44:48 FranciscoD: +1 17:45:09 there's an outdated quickstart available: https://github.com/openshift-quickstart/limesurvey-quickstart 17:45:22 FranciscoD: I'm sorry but I'll have to let this one go. There's too much on my plate right now. :P 17:45:28 if someone can get it running on a local openshift, we can ask infra to work on it 17:45:43 #action FranciscoD announce the openshift task on #fedora-join 17:45:54 yeh, same here, not enough time to work on anything big :( 17:45:57 * dhanesh95 has been hacking on a CommOps ticket since last few weeks and still hasn't managed to get anything fruitful out of it :( 17:46:11 #topic OpenFloor 17:46:24 #action FranciscoD send out logs, ready next meeting page 17:46:32 Anyother random ideas? 17:46:41 Hold on, wait. I'm confused. 17:46:51 dhanesh95: about what? :D 17:46:57 What do we do about easyfix? 17:47:15 Hrm, so improvements can be made on different fronts 17:47:33 1. How it works - bexelbie shared some ideas on improving how the easyfix list is populated 17:47:48 currently, one uses the "easyfix" tag on github or pagure, and the ticket shows up on the list etc 17:48:13 but that can be improved to make the list more helpful to newbies - by including what skills a ticket needs, for example 17:48:35 2. Making easyfix more popular - adding it to website footers, that sort of thing 17:49:04 dhanesh95: think of it as a refactor I guess? 17:49:30 Maybe better to write article about first easyfixing? Step-by-step 17:49:34 oh, of course: link easyfix better to wcidff 17:49:42 FranciscoD: I understand that. How do we get around to implementing these ideas? 17:49:57 And who will do it? 17:50:01 Idea about footers is good too 17:50:05 dhanesh95: well, there are no concrete plans yet- it's all in the air 17:50:05 CommOps + Join + Infra? 17:50:12 yeh, pretty much 17:50:39 i think we first need to decide on the detailed tasks we need to carry out, file tickets for them, and then work on them one by one 17:51:18 I'd written this a long time ago, and we'd mentioned easyfix here: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/where-point-newcomers-fedora/ 17:51:30 FranciscoD: What I think we should do is start with what we have currently. bexelbie has listed some very helpful ideas. More ideas will keep flowing. Thoughts? 17:52:05 Yeh, you mean convert some of his ideas into tix and get started on them? 17:52:12 Yes 17:52:25 #idea Go over bexelbie 's post and extract actionable items from it 17:52:33 Tasks which can be easily done by Fedora Join 17:52:46 Those which need Infra or CommOps, we can file tickets on their Pagure. 17:52:53 dhanesh95: makes sense 17:53:03 do you want to look for infra related tasks? 17:53:09 I can look at fedora-join related ones 17:53:13 and we can file tix 17:53:17 that's some division of labour 17:53:24 How about CommOps related tasks for me? :P 17:53:27 sure 17:53:39 excuse me, I was distracted, which bexelbie post? 17:53:42 should we do it over an etherpad first, before we file them tix? 17:53:46 * dhanesh95 is an Infra noob. :P 17:53:50 FranciscoD: Excellent idea! 17:53:55 alciregi: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/commops@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/FQFLE3KOALMGC6XD4S54WUEQF6XPNREJ/#FQFLE3KOALMGC6XD4S54WUEQF6XPNREJ 17:54:50 dhanesh95: do we know a free etherpad instance 17:54:58 or should I just use the first one I find? 17:55:11 pad.disroot.org is what I know of 17:55:23 I found one gnome hosts. Let's use that XD 17:55:29 FranciscoD: That works too 17:55:38 FranciscoD, I use hackmd.io 17:55:59 #link https://etherpad.gnome.org/p/Easyfix-tasks -> etherpad where we list action items from bexelbie 's post on Easyfix 17:56:15 #action dhanesh95 extract action items that commops can work on 17:56:27 #action FranciscoD extract action items that fedora-join can work on 17:56:28 Anyone else is welcome to join us here ^^ 17:56:41 there are probably tasks that infra or websites can do 17:56:52 This can give you a very good idea of how teams in Fedora Project work 17:57:11 #action Announce the task to folks in #fedora-join 17:57:13 #undo 17:57:13 Removing item from minutes: ACTION by FranciscoD at 17:57:11 : Announce the task to folks in #fedora-join 17:57:19 #action FranciscoD Announce the task to folks in #fedora-join 17:57:43 Ok, I think we should close the meeting. 3 minutes to the hour, and we must develop a habit of not going over! 17:57:57 alciregi: if you have any ideas on that post, drop us a ping in the channel please 17:58:09 Let's head back to #fedora-join 17:58:15 If there's anything urgent, please bring it up in the channel or the ML 17:58:19 #endmeeting
