16:30:30 <nirik> #topic Init process
16:30:37 <nirik> who all is here for the meeting?
16:31:19 * thomasj 
16:33:23 * nirik will see if that gets some more folks here. ;) Hopefully the spamming of channels is ok.
16:34:22 <thomasj> One line should not be considered as spamming :)
16:35:13 <nirik> I wouldn't think so, but perhaps it's just us. ;)
16:35:24 <nirik> anyhow, I guess we can go ahead and get started.
16:35:30 <maxamillion> nirik: you bot spammed, so I came :)
16:35:36 <thomasj> boah
16:35:37 <maxamillion> your*
16:35:38 <nirik> cool. See! It worked. ;)
16:35:47 <sijis> same here.
16:35:51 <nirik> #topic Weekly stats
16:36:06 <nirik> stats as always at: http://theglaserfamily.org/ircstats/fedora-weekly.html
16:36:37 <nirik> seems to have been a pretty normal week from what I can see...
16:37:00 <thomasj> +1 yep
16:37:04 <nirik> anyone have anything on the stats? I don't see any new urls coming up or anything...
16:37:30 <nirik> #topic mirror issues
16:37:40 <nirik> One thing we have going on this week is mirror issues. ;(
16:37:52 <thomasj> Looks like finally solved.
16:37:54 <nirik> Luckily I don't think any of the remaining issues now are very user visible.
16:38:19 <nirik> sadly, no... it's still not fixed, but enough mirrors have current updates that users aren't seeing issues.
16:38:32 <thomasj> ok..
16:38:35 <nirik> but pushing out new content is not happening very much right now, so updates may be delayed. ;(
16:38:51 <nirik> just something to be aware of.
16:38:54 <thomasj> hah.. thats why updates-testing is so silent =)
16:39:23 <nirik> yeah. Hopefully it will be finally fixed in the next few days... they have a possible cause now.
16:39:48 <nirik> #topic Obligitory Classroom Plug
16:40:05 <nirik> #info still looking for people to teach classes. ;) Please see me if you are interested at all.
16:40:16 <nirik> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom
16:40:58 <nirik> #topic Open Floor
16:41:14 <thomasj> hehe.. fast meeting
16:41:14 <nirik> Thats basically all I had off hand... any suggestions/ideas/comments/improvements
16:41:26 <maxamillion> that it was
16:41:35 <nirik> yeah. ;) Unless some other topics come up... anything anyone else can think of to discuss?
16:41:51 <maxamillion> nirik: quick touch on the classroom thing ...
16:41:59 <nirik> sure, shoot...
16:42:31 <maxamillion> nirik: are there any classroom topics that are being re-done such as intro material so that our ever growing user base of new users can come to them?
16:43:16 <nirik> I would have no problem with re-doing past classes again... that would be fine. Or redoing a topic that was already done. Or doing an intro topic of your choice. ;)
16:43:37 <nirik> basically anything fedora related. It doesn't have to be an advanced topic.
16:43:43 <fenris02> sounds real easy when you phrase it like that :P
16:43:59 <nirik> it could be: "resources for fedora users" and talk about fedorasolved/the wiki/etc.
16:44:18 <nirik> or pick a chapter of rute and teach on that.
16:44:33 <maxamillion> I was mainly just wondering because that's something I generally do with my Campus Ambassadoring (is that a word?) is that every fall I do a "What is Fedora, and why you should care" presentation each Fall semester for the incoming Freshman computer science majors
16:44:35 <thomasj> Our new users could check out this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRC/Classroom   including classroom archive
16:44:38 <nirik> fenris02: it's really not very hard. It's just typing about material you know for an hour and answering questions on it. ;)
16:44:50 <maxamillion> so I was curious if there was something similar to help out new users in the irc scene
16:45:06 <nirik> maxamillion: that would be a lovely class to teach. ;) Sign on up.
16:45:23 <nirik> thomasj: yeah, also true... archives are good for that.
16:45:53 <maxamillion> nirik: I might, just need to sort out my scheduling problem (its unfortunately rather inconsistent)
16:46:12 <nirik> maxamillion: yeah, feel free to sign up for anytime that works for you.
16:46:51 <maxamillion> awesome, I'll poke back over my old slides and see if I can't find a time slot that will work out
16:47:00 <nirik> that would be great.
16:47:21 * nirik is signed up for 2 classes coming up... would love to see more than 1-3 people giving all the classes.
16:47:51 <thomasj> Maybe we need more "spam" about the classes in #fedora again
16:48:11 <sijis> why not spam it like you did for this meeting
16:48:12 <nirik> thomasj: well, I think that might get more students... doesn't seem to help with getting new teachers tho. ;(
16:48:22 <thomasj> nirik, true
16:48:27 <nirik> sijis: yeah, we could do that... just before classes.
16:48:54 <nirik> I have also been mailing out monday mornings a list of all upcoming classes and links to the logs from ones the previous week. Might help. :)
16:49:07 <thomasj> I will blog about the teachers wanted.
16:49:19 <nirik> excellent.
16:49:50 <sijis> i never knew there were classes until just now
16:49:52 <nirik> anyone have anything else on any other irc support related issue?
16:50:01 <fenris02> no ical feed for classes?
16:51:07 <nirik> sadly, no. If someone could look into how to create and publish them that would be great.
16:51:22 * thomasj looks at fenris02
16:51:24 <nirik> also, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom_Help_Wanted
16:52:12 <sijis> nirik: i don't see the classrom link in the fp.o/get-help section, unless its somewhere else.
16:52:15 * Southern_Gentlem here
16:52:49 <nirik> sijis: oh? is that on the website? or wiki?
16:52:56 * thomasj isn't sure if classes are part of "get-help"
16:53:16 <sijis> i think that's the website. http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-help
16:54:31 <sijis> anyhow, my thought was a little more promotion might make some folks be aware and step up as teachers.
16:55:02 <maxamillion> I agree with that, awareness and popularity will definitely get people interested
16:55:45 <thomasj> +1
16:56:06 <nirik> sijis: yeah, we can ask the websites team about adding a note there...
16:57:01 <sijis> cool. it is a form of 'help' :)
16:57:52 <nirik> yeah, agreed.
17:00:42 * nirik will close out the meeting in a few here if nothing else comes up for discussion.
17:01:05 <sijis> nothing else here.
17:01:35 * nirik will close the meeting in 60sec.
