As long as you can log in to trac, you should be able to access trac tickets. 20:16:44 sorry FranciscoD I was looking for the ticket 20:16:44 ok doke 20:16:53 mitzie: I already have the trac list open :P 20:16:55 https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/report/1 20:17:14 Already added one from my country, will add more at the end of the meeting 20:17:43 I need to go on a press "rampage", as I call it, too. 20:17:48 I have a pretty comprehensive list together, but I'm not sure if I have wiki access 20:17:57 At least the US-based press hits 20:18:09 mitzie: I wanted to ask if we need to send them to the ML, like I did for F19? 20:18:22 Or should only problematic articles be sent to the list? 20:18:32 I can send it around to the list (unless Ruth already did, can't remember right off hand) 20:18:45 john_terrill: if you have an FAS account, you have wiki access :) 20:18:51 I don't know actually I guess just posting them on the list is ok 20:19:07 ah, okay - that makes sense 20:19:23 The idea was to keep people in the loop, and point out any inaccuracies so that someone could reach out to the authors (IIRC). 20:19:55 That brings up another question: Does someone "official" have to reach out to the authors, or can anyone from the community do it? 20:20:15 john_terrill: you also have to sign the contrib agreement I think 20:20:23 I'll crawl reddit/fedora and reddit/linux later and see if any are missing and need to be added 20:20:36 I think anyone can 20:20:42 thanks - i need to sift through my notes to see if i did already 20:21:09 It'll be be on your account homepage in fas 20:21:11 +1 with roshi 20:21:46 Ok. Good to know. 20:21:46 .fas john_terrill 20:21:47 nb: 'john_terrill' Not Found! 20:21:56 john_terrill, what is your username? 20:22:05 .fas jterrill 20:22:06 john_terrill: jterrill 'John Terrill' 20:22:09 there we go 20:22:09 .fasinfo jterrill 20:22:12 nb: User: jterrill, Name: John Terrill, email: jterrill@redhat.com, Creation: 2013-08-19, IRC Nick: None, Timezone: UTC, Locale: C, GPG key ID: None, Status: active 20:22:15 nb: Approved Groups: cla_done cla_fpca 20:22:21 john_terrill, yes, you have signed the FPCA 20:22:25 okay great 20:22:31 i can get some of these up on the wiki then 20:22:40 great then 20:23:10 anything else on F20? 20:23:40 There were a couple of tasks that are (partially) completed: 20:24:11 https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/141 -> Update generic flyer 20:24:42 I updated Zolthan's flyer. It needs review before it goes up on the wiki. 20:25:06 https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/139 -> Fedora 20 release flyer for home users 20:25:09 Also needs review 20:25:27 Once these are reviewed I'll send the ambassadors list a mail about them, so they can be used at events. 20:25:30 FranciscoD: define "review"? 20:25:32 Huge +1 from me, but I don't know if I am the right guy to review it 20:25:37 :P 20:25:46 FranciscoD: is there an established process? Or is anyone eyeballing it sufficient? 20:26:00 jzb: there isn't an established process as far as I know. 20:26:31 I don't know if previously flyers were reviewed at all, but I think at least one other person needs to eyeball them 20:26:38 Do you just want the copy proofread? I'm not familiar enough with Fedora to know what should/shouldn't be included but I can certainly copy edit/proofread for you 20:26:45 (Since they're going to be given out at events etc.) 20:26:59 sox3502us: There isn't a process. All comments are welcome :) 20:27:02 FranciscoD: I don't disagree, I'm just raising the point b/c we should make it clear what that means :-) 20:27:10 jzb: aye. 20:27:25 exactly-- like the technical accuracy etc. would not be something I can comment on just yet :) 20:27:27 We could have a sort of process if needed. I think it just hasn't come up yet. 20:27:43 can we get four or five volunteers that we can assign the ticket to when something like that is finished? 20:27:53 * jzb isn't sure if you can assign a ticket to multiple people. 20:27:57 I haven't had time to do the flyer for developers yet -> https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/140 20:28:14 jzb: I think you can CC multiple people, but not assign them. 20:28:34 We could have a "needs-review" flag + report if that'll make things easier 20:28:43 Why don't we sent it in the list so everyone can comment? 20:28:56 FranciscoD: that would be great 20:29:00 mitzie: I think that happened 20:29:05 mitzie: and ... it just fell on the floor 20:29:15 :D 20:29:20 mitzie: one of my favorite sayings "when everyone is responsible, no one is responsible." 20:29:30 ++ 20:30:09 oh, I guessed I missed that mail 20:30:20 true, jzb 20:31:12 I also noticed that the "fedora cheat cube" is outdated. It isn't up to date to include info on firewalld and systemd 20:31:15 https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/308 20:31:41 I wasn't entirely sure who's responsible for the cheat cubes. I guess we could do the updating too. 20:32:15 Yikes. Looks like that one was already filed: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/267 20:32:18 FranciscoD: who did them initially? 20:32:35 jzb: not entirely sure. Looking. 20:33:16 Were uploaded to the wiki by nushio: https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=File:Fedora_Cheat_Cube_Users.svg&action=history 20:33:24 s/Were/Was/ 20:33:29 sorry, was distracted installing hw 20:33:36 what are we looking for volunteers for? 20:33:42 The design doesn't need tinkering with, it's the text that needs to be updated. 20:35:00 FranciscoD: how out of date is it? Just one or two things, or severely? 20:36:03 and do we have a standard cheat-sheet or just the cube? 20:36:14 jzb: Enough that they shouldn't be given out to users. I haven't made a list of the exact changes needed. 20:36:34 We don't have a cheat sheet as far as I know. 20:36:56 I'm probably not going to have time in the nearish future to do that. Anyone want to run with it? 20:37:56 Not sure how many cycles I'll have too. If I find nothing to do, I'll do it. 20:38:15 unfortunatelly I am very busy till May 20:38:34 mitzie: dang 20:38:42 mitzie: that's quite a while :-) 20:38:54 There are also tickets for a "cloud & virtualization" and "server" flyers. Don't think they're ready yet. 20:39:06 https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/136 , https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/137 20:39:23 ofcourse I have time for the project, but for tasks like these (which I am not very familiar with gimp) it's kinda hard :( 20:39:46 That's all I have from the "goodies for ambassadors" ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/138 20:39:49 FranciscoD: I finished a virt flyer for LinuxCon but probably could be revisited. 20:39:56 yeah jzb, reading again my sentence it sounds a lot :P 20:40:05 * jzb isn't a huge fan of flyers tbh 20:40:32 I have some plans for the magazine for now 20:40:32 s/flyers/flyers that need constant updating/ for me. 20:40:49 FranciscoD: well, they need constant updating + people ask for them, take them, and then... rarely read them. 20:41:12 jzb: we could do away with them if we have other thingys to give out.. 20:41:14 at least in my experience. Flyers are one of those things everybody says they want, but they don't get used nearly as often. 20:41:32 I wonder if thats a "too much text" thing. 20:41:35 agreed. flyers don't have much value. you look at them once and then punt them 20:41:50 What about bookmarks? 20:41:56 nb yes i think we should have flyers that can be printed if the event owner wants them 20:42:01 perhaps something more functional -- bookmarks is a good idea 20:42:20 if we had a Fedora bookmark that had URLs to main pages for downloads, etc. ? 20:42:24 maybe with some general features and a couple of easy to follow url? 20:42:28 nb like me i can print 10 per day 20:42:48 one side could be the four F's, the other could be some URLs to more info. 20:43:03 jzb: sox3502us : sounds good! 20:43:15 like a mini paper ad 20:43:21 instead of something with a bunch of info 20:43:22 right 20:43:30 but make it look kind of nice so people actually use it and keep it around 20:43:35 * nb thought about getting some printed by FAmNA to ship places 20:43:35 since we seem to have extra budget to spend 20:43:45 no one keeps a flyer 20:44:21 nb myself i think printing them is a waste because next release its a huge waste 20:44:35 if you did something that was not release specific 20:44:36 We'll need to file a ticket with the design team to start with 20:44:37 would be even better 20:44:39 we have budget? 20:44:44 Southern_Gentlem: indeed. So bookmarks could be around a long time. 20:44:44 and extra, at that? 20:44:57 sox3502us: Southern_Gentlem there is a generic flyer thats release independent 20:44:57 bookmark or something with the four f's on the front and the URL's that dont change on the back would carry over from release to release 20:45:01 jzb i was referring to the flyers 20:45:04 oh thats good 20:45:11 a non-release specific flyer could be ok 20:45:28 sox3502us: we have that 20:45:37 but as someone who deals with the event boxes they are a PITA 20:46:20 * mitzie is reading because he was away for a sec 20:46:43 Could someone please file a ticket with design for the bookmarks? 20:46:50 need to drop off, will read the meeting log later. I'll sign up to help keep an eye out for news articles and to help proof-read copy for whatever. (non-technical though, not up to speed yet enough to weigh in there) 20:47:12 thanks all 20:50:27 FranciscoD: I guess I'll take bookmarks 20:50:44 jzb: great :) 20:50:49 #action jzb file ticket for Fedora bookmark with design folks. 20:51:01 do we have anything else? We're about 10 minutes away from the 1-hour mark. 20:51:01 jzb: can non chair people use these commands? 20:51:10 FranciscoD: I dunno. :-) 20:51:13 * FranciscoD has nothing 20:51:14 yeap! 20:51:15 nope 20:51:20 FranciscoD: someone want to chair me, pls? 20:51:23 jzb: I guess we'll find out XD 20:51:24 you have to chair people for commands 20:51:26 * nirik wonders what the status is on images on fedoramagazine? 20:51:26 mitzie: ^ 20:51:42 it's generally a good idea to chair someone else in case you drop connection :) 20:51:45 #chair jzb FranciscoD 20:51:45 Current chairs: FranciscoD jzb mitzie 20:51:49 otherwise things get stuck til you get back 20:52:05 we just chair *everyone* during apac meetings, just to be sure :P 20:52:20 #action jzb file ticket for Fedora bookmark with design folks. 20:52:22 roshi true, I always did that but I hadn't chair a meeting for some time now 20:52:22 I have nothing else, we can move on to magazine tasks 20:52:25 FranciscoD: that's usually how we do it. 20:52:36 * FranciscoD sees nirik just asked a question about it 20:52:37 FranciscoD: go for it. 20:53:26 I don't know much about the workings of the magazine. Someone who knows more will have to answer that :/ 20:53:34 #chair roshi nirik nb 20:53:34 Current chairs: FranciscoD jzb mitzie nb nirik roshi 20:53:38 fire it up! 20:53:50 CHAIR ALL THE THINGS! 20:54:12 xaxa :P 20:54:15 nirik: I think that croberts sent a note about this to the list just before the meeting. 20:54:31 yeah... just wondering if there was any eta, etc? several folks have asked about it. 20:54:39 nirik: "The only thing I have to bring up though is that the Fedora Magazine will be working shortly I have identified the issue with the migration and now am just working through fixing it." 20:54:48 nirik: so... shortly is the ETA. 20:54:59 ok, cool. 20:55:07 yeah nirik, I spent like 3 days on Christmas to fix it 20:55:09 but no luck 20:55:30 is croberts the only on with the keys to the magazine? 20:55:42 no roshi, several people have access 20:55:50 * roshi wasn't sure 20:55:54 mitzie: what's the actual issue you're struggling with? 20:56:05 We could shutdown the magazine till it's done, because it doesn't look nice 20:56:11 The issue with the pictures 20:56:23 the banner? 20:56:41 ahah 20:56:51 it's all images... perm denied 20:56:56 was it ever discovered if it was that plugin or the mix of plugins we use? 20:56:58 you can't view any pictures in the front page (nowhere actually) and you can't upload new 20:56:58 ah 20:57:39 We haven't touched a thing after the migration, just the update to the new wordpress update, which after it everything was the same 20:58:08 Although I noticed it after I returned from holidays 20:58:25 it may need fixing in the git repo, not via wordpress... dunno tho 20:58:33 I kow what is causing it, but I haven't find a way to fix it 20:59:04 mitzie: what's causing it? 20:59:31 mitzie: just wrong perms on the uploads directory? 20:59:32 I searched the problem and I found out that wordpress doesn't have the correct permissions on the media folder 20:59:41 you got it 21:00:01 ftp'ed on the magazine but no luck after changing the permissions 21:00:20 mitzie: what'd you ftp to? 21:00:49 to the magazine app, to correct the directories permissions 21:00:59 I remember setting it up on my host, but the service provider had "softaculous" that set it all up 21:01:39 yeap, with cpanel is sooo easy ;) 21:01:51 ++ 21:04:02 OK, anything else? 21:04:06 Anyway we will see what croberts will find out 21:04:43 Not from me. 21:05:02 one sec pls 21:05:42 * roshi has nothing 21:05:56 We also have a plugin for daily backups but had problem to set it up on the new site (conflict ip) -- Anyway contacted support and 'unlocked the account' so we can set it up again once everything is ready 21:06:13 *and they unlocked the account 21:06:15 #info cheat cubes need updating 21:06:25 mitzie: have we asked in #openshift about this permissions issue? 21:07:07 Nope..
