Need any help? 00:14:08 I know it's early yet 00:14:13 I took AG last release, but I haven't had a chance to look at it this time yet 00:15:04 Gearoid, I suspect it will be pretty simple. Shouldn't be huge changes 00:15:36 Anything else about guides? 00:15:40 yeah, I hope so. The major difficulty I had last time, was that a lot of the accessibility tools don't like my hardware 00:15:55 i have continued to fail at actually putting some content into the cloud guide 00:16:02 hoping to do it now my lca talk is out of the way 00:16:11 If there isn't much to do on it, I might be able to help out in other areas 00:16:36 I continue to chip away at the ARG, but its just a bit at a time 00:17:03 OK, anything else on guides? 00:17:47 Now, surprise topic courtesy of shaunm 00:17:51 #topic Open Help Conference 00:18:00 shaunm, would you like to tell us about this 00:18:09 Sure 00:18:49 I'm putting together a conference for people working on help and documentation in open source and community-based projects 00:18:54 http://openhelpconference.com/ 00:19:04 #link http://openhelpconference.com/ 00:19:23 And I like Fedora, so I like inviting you to everything :) 00:19:41 there is hackfest space available as well, if you're interested 00:20:17 I went to the "Desktop Help Summit" last year and, other than the snow, it was great meeting folks from other projects 00:20:34 depending on how many people, etc, we may be able to get famna/famsco to sponsor fedora contributors 00:20:41 I'm hoping for no snow in June 00:20:47 Probably little risk of snow in the wueen city in June 00:20:54 queen city - sheesh 00:21:07 * Gearoid loves snow 00:21:15 If anyone is interested in going, let me know 00:21:44 #info possibility of Fedora sponsoring contributors to attend Open Help Conference, contact nb if interested 00:21:48 shaunm, will there be space for, like, an ambassadors booth? 00:21:57 #chair nb 00:21:57 Current chairs: jjmcd nb 00:22:11 jjmcd, well, we could do that, or we can sponsor contributors just to attend events that will be helpful to their area of fedora 00:22:15 jjmcd: I'm not planning on having booth space 00:22:23 OK 00:22:35 It's bigger than the Desktop Help Summit, but smaller than some of the huge conferences you might have been to 00:22:36 like i think codeblock is going to python conference 00:23:12 If you do want to do a hackfest though, I'd like to know by the beginning of March 00:23:30 I think most of the folks here right now are from far away, but hopefully folks will read the notes 00:23:37 because I have to reserve extra rooms, and the venue already thinks I'm crazy 00:24:28 Do you anticipate we'll see many of the perps from Chicago? 00:25:06 jjmcd: Most of them, yeah 00:25:26 I haven't heard from Rich in a long while, and Paul is pretty busy these days 00:25:41 But I'm pretty sure Phil, Milo, and Jim will be there 00:25:45 Seems like Jim shows up everywhere 00:26:10 But it sounds like I better get in practice. Seems like Cincinnatti has bars 00:26:25 Besides that, I've got folks from FreeBSD and Mozilla coming so far 00:26:36 good deal 00:26:40 We have bars, yes 00:26:54 though sadly no blues clubs 00:27:07 * jjmcd gave his first "professional" paper in Cinci 00:27:35 OK, any questions on the help conference? 00:28:22 Thanks Shaun 00:28:26 Moving on 00:28:28 #topic Outstanding BZ Tickets 00:28:40 #link http://tinyurl.com/lbrq84 00:29:44 I'm being slow getting to that page.
