Really, whatever you think is best would probably be fine; it just seems like a CC would add the least work to your day 14:16:14 ack 14:16:19 anyone else have questions about Beats or Changes or questions for jreznik before we move on to guides? 14:18:35 #topic Guide Status 14:19:33 Ok, let me start. 14:19:49 go ahead :) 14:20:15 I still need to make some changes to the Power Management Guide for Fedora 19, but I'll definitely do that tonight, so expect it to appear live later this night or tomorrow. 14:20:59 great! 14:21:24 As for the System Administrator's Guide, I'll see what I can do, but I would like to publish it soon. 14:21:55 anything we can do to help, jhradilek ? further review? 14:22:52 Reviews are very, very helpful. I know that the first couple of chapters need new screenshots and some edits, but the book is too big for me to try every single procedure and verify every single dialog window. 14:23:36 #info please help jhradilek identify where the system administrator's guide needs work 14:23:37 So yeah, I really encourage people to take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_Review_Table and either update the table, or file bugs. 14:24:25 jhradilek, it might be a good idea to try wrangling someone specifically for the remote auth section 14:24:38 ie someone that's active in gnome 14:25:05 pkovar: Any ideas? ^ 14:25:30 we will be covering authentication methods in the gnome sys admin guide 14:25:54 together with other topics on login / GDM 14:26:47 so i guess we should discuss this after the meeting :-) 14:27:25 Sounds good, thanks. 14:27:42 np, thanks for pointing this out 14:27:55 pkovar: We can/should also discuss the future of some of the chapters in the first part of the book. 14:28:06 sure 14:29:14 pkovar: Like configuring keyboard or managing users and groups. These thinks are better explained in the built-in GNOME documentation and are not really relevant for system administrators, unlike the command line tools like localectl or datetimectl that should definitely be documented. 14:29:41 agreed 14:29:49 *things 14:29:55 it definitely needs some coordination 14:31:33 Before I forget, Sparks, the db in web.git got corrupted; it is fixed now but the securityguide needs to be republished for f18 so the pdf is available 14:31:54 What is causing that? 14:32:07 * randomuser shrugs 14:32:27 I've seen some errors mentioning my guide, but I am not sure why. 14:32:42 Also, are we still supposed to use publican 2.8? 14:32:43 maybe that was it 14:32:50 (That's what I remember and what I used.) 14:32:58 yes, we should still be using publican 2.8 14:33:41 hrm... now I don't have that error in front of me and I can't find a broken link offhand 14:34:15 #info whoever publishes next, if you see an error about some other guide when running install_book, please report it to the list 14:34:35 Ack. 14:35:10 i was hoping to talk to lnovich about the virt guide, but i think she's afk 14:36:39 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_admin_tasks_for_new_contributors 14:37:11 #info Guide Owners, if you have tasks that are easy to pick up, please help out new contributors by adding them to the list 14:37:37 Capesteve: We should add the Docs Review Table there. 14:38:36 in other news, I've added info on creating USB media to readme-burning-isos 14:38:50 jhradilek: yes, will do 14:39:00 Including a script that shamelessly copies the content from the installation guide :) 14:40:52 I'm blind. Where can I find it? 14:41:01 Okay, that's it from me. anything else on guides? 14:41:11 The script I mean. :) 14:41:42 jhradilek, in the root of readme-burning-isos.git 14:42:25 nothing from me. Thanks for fixing the installation quickstart guide and the pdfs though. 14:42:53 no problem, nice work getting them out so soon 14:43:31 #topic Outstanding BZ Tickets 14:43:39 #link http://tinyurl.com/lbrq84 14:44:26 a couple stale ones here: 14:44:31 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755563 14:44:58 basically, how to use the DVD with yum; sysadmin guide, yum section? 14:45:39 Thanks for catching this, I'll change the component. 14:45:51 thanks 14:46:35 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707687 14:46:59 systemd in the sysadmin guide; there's been at least some progress there, i'm sure of it 14:48:25 i'm just picking on you because you're here, jhradilek :) 14:49:04 There has been, but I don't want to close this before systemd is fully documented, which not only means documenting the systemctl utility, but also the tools I mentioned above: hostnamectl, timedatectl, localectl, etc. 14:49:18 fair enough 14:49:53 there's quite a few here for the virtualization-guide; is that replaced by the VDAG?? 14:50:53 * randomuser suspects it is 14:51:02 any other bugs of import? 14:53:27 #topic Open Floor 14:54:32 * nirik arrives late, had one item 14:54:55 :D 14:55:08 welcome, nirik 14:55:27 https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3860 <- if folks could answer those questions or add to cc folks who can, we can try and move that forward. ;) 14:55:54 ehhh... Sparks ? 14:56:19 it's not urgent, just thought I would mention it. ;) 14:56:50 nirik, rudi is the driving force on that endeavor, fwiw; he's in australia so timing on irc doesn't sync up well 14:57:04 no worries. in ticket is fine... 14:57:07 carry on. ;) 14:57:45 #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3860 14:58:57 two minute warning, folks, get in your jabs while you can 15:00:04 okay, thanks for coming 15:00:08 #endmeeting
