(I am a visual type person) 19:31:00 asrob: I'll see what I can do 19:31:07 stickster: thank you 19:31:15 #action stickster provide some sort of mockup for what we want to see from a FWN issue view 19:31:59 asrob: I'd like to learn something about Views as we go through this, so I imagine you could show me a thing or two in IRC 19:32:58 #topic Feeds 19:33:07 asrob: Tell us about Feeds :-) 19:33:12 ;) 19:33:30 #info this probably is connected to the "Packaging" topic (nudge, nudge stickster and Sparks_too) 19:34:28 as we know Paul and Pascal warn me about that we should use upstream drupal modules 19:35:34 that's why I am looking for the drupal modules' best combination 19:36:10 asrob: That's right -- upstream modules mean we don't have to take on special maintenance duty. 19:36:22 yeah 19:36:45 asrob: Also important to notice that each additional package we add means the package maintainer takes on additional duty too... in other words, getting a package into Fedora is one thing, then you have to maintain it, follow the upstream updates and security errata, etc. 19:37:14 so I am trying some modules from drupal.org in several combination 19:37:41 You've brought in a lot of new packages so far -- and that is *great*. At the same time, each of those packages means more for you to do on a regular basis to maintain those packages for the whole Fedora distribution and community over time. 19:37:54 So I want to make sure you're not overloading yourself too much :-) 19:38:21 stickster: I will maintain those packages 19:38:28 stickster: I don't think so ;) 19:38:44 asrob: OK then, that's awesome! :-) 19:39:35 asrob: Now just by way of reminder... the purpose of something like Feeds is to allow us to select specific things from RSS, and import them to nodes, do I understand that right? 19:39:38 Hi folks, sorry I'm late, meeting ran over 19:39:42 pcalarco: Welcome! 19:39:45 #chair pcalarco 19:39:45 Current chairs: asrob jsmith pcalarco stickster 19:39:50 stickster: yes, that's right 19:40:12 pcalarco: hi 19:40:54 asrob: So where are you in this process now, and do you have any particular problems or issues to report where you could use help, or need a question answered? 19:42:59 stickster: I am importing a lot of contents but these things are in "cache" 19:44:23 what RSS content do we expect to consume? Fedora Planet posts? Anything else? 19:44:43 pcalarco: Most of the things we might want to report are available via RSS feeds 19:45:09 stickster: great, thanks for confirmation 19:45:22 Things like security updates, Planet, maybe other info 19:46:05 asrob: Anything else you want to say about Feeds? 19:46:07 stickster: do we want to store on the site? 19:46:20 stickster: these contents 19:47:00 asrob: We don't want to store "testing" material permanently... but in production, yes -- we would want to have a node in Drupal for a story that's eligible for us to publish 19:47:16 asrob: Imagine that someone puts a really good show report, or a piece of interesting news, on the Planet. 19:47:38 We may want to select that story and republish it through Insight. But we don't want the whole Planet feed there, that already exists. 19:47:58 stickster: ok then this is the hard part of this process 19:48:07 Yes :-) 19:48:33 stickster: that's why I asked you about custom vs contrib modules 19:49:09 are all of the posts that appear in the Planet feed explicitly CC:BY licensed? Meaning, are we allowed to pick and choose that content to republish? 19:49:46 I'm not sure anyone agrees to a certain license when they sign up for Planet 19:50:13 They don't, we would need to seek the approval of the poster, if they don't explicitly license their content on their blog as either CC BY or CC BY-SA 19:50:24 okay, thx 19:51:33 There might be an argument to be made about how the CLA/FPCA and setting one's feed to publish to the Planet constitutes an agreement to let Fedora relicense, but that's a discussion I don't even want to get into :-) 19:51:52 :) 19:53:11 agreed :) 19:53:25 asrob: So regarding your earlier point about custom v. contrib modules -- to the greatest extent, we want to use "stock"/"contrib" modules for this functionality, and set them up as required. 19:54:03 stickster: I see 19:54:09 asrob: But if we need to have some custom code to do this properly, so be it -- but we need to be prepared to maintain that code ourselves. So if you run into a problem where that's required, that's an issue you would bring to the list so we can discuss it 19:54:45 stickster: ok 19:55:14 #idea We should also talk about packaging status 19:55:22 Sparks_too: thanks for helping with reviews of packages 19:55:37 stickster: Yeah, I can probably do another one or two this weekend 19:56:04 Sparks_too: I ran into some difficulties with at least one of the packages, which was missing dependencies among other issues 19:56:32 Sparks_too: One way to identify those is to look at the .info file in the module 19:57:12 stickster: Yeah, I'll have to take a closer look. 19:58:23 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658989 <-- that's the bug I filed, but I notice that we have this new package review bug available to help resolve it... 19:58:26 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659005 19:59:18 #action Sparks_too and stickster to continue working on open drupal module package reviews 19:59:31 I think that about does it for today, we're at the end of our hour 19:59:39 Shall we retire to #fedora-mktg for anything else? 19:59:45 nothing 19:59:52 thank you guys 20:00:20 As people have questions/issues, please use the logistics list to make them known! 20:00:22 sounds good! 20:00:25 Thanks everyone for coming :-) 20:00:30 #endmeeting
