Discussion? 14:28:19 <randomuser`> I don't know anything about our sponsorship program 14:28:41 <sgordon> i dont think there is any reason it couldn't be done 14:28:44 <randomuser`> would sponsor banners on docs.fp.o increase revenue, and can it be done tastefully? 14:28:51 <sgordon> would be an update to the fedora-publican brand 14:29:28 <sgordon> only question with that is publican brands in 3.0 are a bit different to 2.x 14:29:46 <sgordon> so is it worth us updating the current brand if there will be a new version in the future that we need to do it again for 14:29:54 <randomuser`> i think we should presume working with publican 3.0 going forward 14:29:55 <sgordon> (near future that is) 14:30:00 <sgordon> yeah 14:30:21 <randomuser`> perhaps we should have a topic on that too.... 14:30:29 <sgordon> my understanding is most of our current sponsorship is hosting etc 14:30:37 <sgordon> so the docs site is in fact served from sponsor's hosting 14:31:45 <randomuser`> we don't have any obvious sponsor links on www.fp.o either... 14:31:52 <sgordon> yeah we do 14:31:57 <sgordon> the badge appears on the right 14:32:10 <randomuser`> ...aside from redhat banners 14:32:12 <sgordon> under Hosting Sponsor it shows colocation america for me right now 14:32:24 * randomuser` looks 14:32:25 <iambryan> ibiblio here 14:32:29 <sgordon> CTRL+R and now it's tummy.com etc 14:32:32 <randomuser`> okay, isee that 14:32:53 <sgordon> i dont see the harm in something similar on the left hand side below the menu as long as it can be integrated tastefully 14:33:14 <randomuser`> who would be able to make that happen? 14:34:23 <sgordon> i think we need the JS file mentioned in the bug 14:35:49 <sgordon> i *think* the actual brand update should be relatively simple, would like to touch base with rudi regarding publican 3.0 fedora brand 14:35:58 <iambryan> on the page itself is a "sponsor.js" however the var is configured in there 14:36:15 <randomuser`> needinfo the websites list? 14:37:09 <iambryan> the init.js loads an array of 3 banners 14:38:09 <randomuser`> so, at least possible 14:38:25 <sgordon> yeah 14:38:34 <sgordon> so i think all is required is including the js file in the brand 14:38:48 <sgordon> and editing the HTML for the sidebar 14:38:56 <randomuser`> is there anyone that is vehemently against sponsor banners? or, should we give them a chance oppose it on the list before wrangling someone to do the actual work? 14:39:05 <sgordon> (that *may* be generated via XSL but i suspect as part of the site structure it's just a HTML file) 14:39:20 <sgordon> might as well discuss it on the list to be sure to be sure 14:39:39 <sgordon> as above it would probably be done on the publican 3.0 brand so it's not going to drop until that does anyway 14:39:44 <randomuser`> sgordon, you seem to have a firm grasp of the topic, do you mind starting that thread? 14:39:48 <sgordon> sure can do 14:40:08 <randomuser`> #action sgordon to mail docs list to begin discussion of sponsorship banners at docs.fp.o 14:40:11 <randomuser`> thanks 14:40:29 <iambryan> sgordon: I am pinging the websites side to see if there are any pointers 14:40:47 <sgordon> thanks iambryan, if you get any detail just throw it in the bug 14:40:51 <sgordon> i will link it from the email 14:41:21 <iambryan> sure thing 14:42:32 <randomuser`> okay, we can continue this one on the list 14:42:44 <randomuser`> #topic Open Floor Discussion 14:43:18 * randomuser` facepalms 14:43:39 <randomuser`> Sparks_too, was there anything else you wanted to discuss in that part of the meeting? 14:43:42 <Sparks_too> Nope 14:43:59 <Sparks_too> If someone can take that ticket that would be helpful 14:44:54 <randomuser`> I'll herd it along, and take the ticket to show some activity 14:45:15 <randomuser`> If we decide to go forward with it, it'll have to be reassigned to whomever can do the work 14:46:58 <sgordon> i was wondering if anyone else is interested in attempting some kind of fedora related sprint at open help 14:47:55 * randomuser` is too far away, with inflexible $dayjob 14:48:12 <sgordon> yeah, i am biased because i can drive there 14:48:37 <iambryan> bcotton had mentioned reworking the user guide 14:48:51 <bcotton> i had indeed 14:49:17 <bcotton> iirc, it was last published before gnome3 was a thing 14:49:29 <Sparks_too> So a few things have changed? 14:49:34 * randomuser` wonders if we can get folks from the secondary DE sigs to do some of the heavy lifting 14:49:51 <sgordon> yeah 14:50:03 <nb> hi 14:50:04 <sgordon> i think current suggestions are 1) user guide 2) cloud guide 14:50:38 <iambryan> +1 to the user guide 14:50:41 <sgordon> rudi also suggested discussing the way the documentation is packaged for desktop delivery (particularly wrt release-notes) but im not 100% we will have the right people for that from a fedora perspective 14:51:08 <iambryan> I am able to help out from the internets 14:51:12 <randomuser`> i have a shiny new spec file that i think handles packaging docs fairly well 14:52:18 <sgordon> excellent :) 14:52:27 <randomuser`> unless I misunderstand the discussion points 14:52:47 <randomuser`> It would be easily portable to other guides as well 14:52:59 <sgordon> well i think what he is interested in is packaging more guides than we currently do for desktop delivery 14:53:15 <sgordon> and the fact that in Gnome3 each one shows up as the same icon etc listed as documentation 14:53:33 <randomuser`> #linkhttp://immanetize.fedorapeople.org/release-notes.spec 14:53:37 <randomuser`> #link http://immanetize.fedorapeople.org/release-notes.spec 14:54:43 <randomuser`> the gist there is that given a publish-ready release branch, `publican build` happens in koji, and the desktop file is built and localized in %build 14:55:56 <randomuser`> sgordon, so you think we should get someone to mock up unique icons for each guide? 14:56:14 <sgordon> "outcome hazy" 14:56:41 <sgordon> i think we're really talking about the whole mechanism for delivering the docs to the desktop 14:57:17 <randomuser`> ahh... 14:57:24 <sgordon> so don't expect anything too rapid 14:57:45 <randomuser`> I sometimes think we miss out from not having rudi at these meetings, it sounds like he would have much to add here 14:57:45 <sgordon> it's just something i was asked to keep an open mind to since open help is a good opportunity to evaluate and discuss what others do 14:57:51 <sgordon> yeah 14:58:02 <sgordon> he has a pretty full plate unfortunately =/ 14:58:24 <randomuser`> from my perspective, i don't understand what we would even talk about 14:58:34 <randomuser`> either the docs get packaged, or not 15:00:50 <randomuser`> anything else we want to talk about? 15:02:28 <randomuser`> okay, good meeting, thanks for coming everyone 15:02:33 <randomuser`> #endmeeting
