16:30:15 #startmeeting 16:30:23 #meetingtopic IRC Support SIG 16:30:30 #topic Init process 16:30:37 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 One line should not be considered as spamming :) 16:35:13 I wouldn't think so, but perhaps it's just us. ;) 16:35:24 anyhow, I guess we can go ahead and get started. 16:35:30 nirik: you bot spammed, so I came :) 16:35:36 boah 16:35:37 your* 16:35:38 cool. See! It worked. ;) 16:35:47 same here. 16:35:51 #topic Weekly stats 16:36:06 stats as always at: http://theglaserfamily.org/ircstats/fedora-weekly.html 16:36:37 seems to have been a pretty normal week from what I can see... 16:37:00 +1 yep 16:37:04 anyone have anything on the stats? I don't see any new urls coming up or anything... 16:37:30 #topic mirror issues 16:37:40 One thing we have going on this week is mirror issues. ;( 16:37:52 Looks like finally solved. 16:37:54 Luckily I don't think any of the remaining issues now are very user visible. 16:38:19 sadly, no... it's still not fixed, but enough mirrors have current updates that users aren't seeing issues. 16:38:32 ok.. 16:38:35 but pushing out new content is not happening very much right now, so updates may be delayed. ;( 16:38:51 just something to be aware of. 16:38:54 hah.. thats why updates-testing is so silent =) 16:39:23 yeah. Hopefully it will be finally fixed in the next few days... they have a possible cause now. 16:39:48 #topic Obligitory Classroom Plug 16:40:05 #info still looking for people to teach classes. ;) Please see me if you are interested at all. 16:40:16 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom 16:40:58 #topic Open Floor 16:41:14 hehe.. fast meeting 16:41:14 Thats basically all I had off hand... any suggestions/ideas/comments/improvements 16:41:26 that it was 16:41:35 yeah. ;) Unless some other topics come up... anything anyone else can think of to discuss? 16:41:51 nirik: quick touch on the classroom thing ... 16:41:59 sure, shoot... 16:42:31 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 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 basically anything fedora related. It doesn't have to be an advanced topic. 16:43:43 sounds real easy when you phrase it like that :P 16:43:59 it could be: "resources for fedora users" and talk about fedorasolved/the wiki/etc. 16:44:18 or pick a chapter of rute and teach on that. 16:44:33 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 Our new users could check out this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRC/Classroom including classroom archive 16:44:38 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 so I was curious if there was something similar to help out new users in the irc scene 16:45:06 maxamillion: that would be a lovely class to teach. ;) Sign on up. 16:45:23 thomasj: yeah, also true... archives are good for that. 16:45:53 nirik: I might, just need to sort out my scheduling problem (its unfortunately rather inconsistent) 16:46:12 maxamillion: yeah, feel free to sign up for anytime that works for you. 16:46:51 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 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 Maybe we need more "spam" about the classes in #fedora again 16:48:11 why not spam it like you did for this meeting 16:48:12 thomasj: well, I think that might get more students... doesn't seem to help with getting new teachers tho. ;( 16:48:22 nirik, true 16:48:27 sijis: yeah, we could do that... just before classes. 16:48:54 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 I will blog about the teachers wanted. 16:49:19 excellent. 16:49:50 i never knew there were classes until just now 16:49:52 anyone have anything else on any other irc support related issue? 16:50:01 no ical feed for classes? 16:51:07 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 also, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom_Help_Wanted 16:52:12 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 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 i think that's the website. http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-help 16:54:31 anyhow, my thought was a little more promotion might make some folks be aware and step up as teachers. 16:55:02 I agree with that, awareness and popularity will definitely get people interested 16:55:45 +1 16:56:06 sijis: yeah, we can ask the websites team about adding a note there... 16:57:01 cool. it is a form of 'help' :) 16:57:52 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 nothing else here. 17:01:35 * nirik will close the meeting in 60sec. 17:02:31 #endmeeting
