I am up for doing summaries of the meetings. 20:10:11 croberts: that should probably be up to the beat folks 20:10:31 croberts: depending on the meeting, a summary could be awfully dull 20:10:45 Also wordpress allows us to create groups (eg. News junkie) etc so we could add the people in the right groups. (not that it gives you any privileges, but it help us get organized) 20:11:29 jzb: /that idea sounds good 20:11:38 Croberts, I could handle the EMEA ones, if we decide to make summaries 20:11:41 mitzie: does this involve a plugin? 20:11:50 No, don't worry 20:11:58 ;) 20:12:08 Very nice then :) 20:13:48 who wants to type up the email to the other mailing lists? I can do it if people dont mind? 20:14:15 I could step forward 20:14:19 before blasting it to the other mailing lists, send it to the marketing list to have it looked at 20:14:25 +1 mitzie 20:14:56 But I will have to refresh my memory on what we said about beats in our last meeting 20:15:22 I want to let people know that the site is back up and running and ready for content. I think with the magazine site down for the time it was. I think some people think the site is dead still 20:16:15 mitzie: in the last meeting me and jzb brought up the idea of creating beats for people to sign up and work on to get content to the site 20:16:27 I think #info is a start 20:16:38 But to what categories? 20:18:27 So actually it is more than assigning tasks, right? 20:22:14 did everybody fall asleep :-) 20:22:26 mitzie: are you asking about beat categories? 20:22:35 Yes jsb 20:22:42 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Magazine#Beats_Sections 20:22:44 *jzb 20:22:53 already defined for now 20:23:05 Ooohh sorry didn't noticed that 20:23:30 Ok I"ll send the mail - adding it as action 20:24:44 #action mitzie send out the mail for the beats 20:30:58 sorry i got pulled away 20:31:00 anything else? 20:31:04 looks like we're lagging here 20:31:12 anything else for the magazine? 20:31:37 Did we mention the new badge? 20:31:58 suehle: I don't think so 20:32:17 we got a new badge :) 20:32:20 Hey, we hasve badges! 20:32:25 Yay! 20:32:29 https://badges.fedoraproject.org/badge/extra%21--extra%21 20:32:46 Which we can now manually award to people who contribute to the magazine. 20:32:59 #info Fedora Magazine badge https://badges.fedoraproject.org/badge/extra%21--extra%21 20:33:01 That is awesome, that will help in getting people to contribute 20:34:30 that badge is awesome 20:35:17 wb miztie 20:35:19 Sorry for the disconnect 20:35:51 Mitzie did you want to write up the email? 20:36:16 Yeap, already added it as an action item 20:36:37 sorry getting pulled away had to reread before i left 20:36:40 ok cool :) 20:36:46 anything else about the magazine before we move on? 20:37:50 #topic upcoming tasks 20:38:17 Is there anything we need to start working on for F21 20:38:40 croberts: given the state of the 3 working groups, other than profiling what they're working on... 20:38:47 I know its super early still, but just seeing if there was anything we need to do 20:38:54 croberts: it may be too soon to really start promoting F21 or doing meaningful work there. 20:39:07 croberts: we should probably be thinking about how to promote F20 through its lifecycle. 20:39:12 through about, oh, May 20:39:32 maybe June, when F21 starts being closer to release. 20:39:41 sounds good jzb 20:39:58 topic #open floor 20:40:13 #topic open floor 20:40:20 my typing is awful today 20:42:33 how about social media? 20:42:44 currently we have the Fedora twitter account going rather unused. 20:43:04 I know the facebook one is going good, Do we have a google + one as well? 20:43:44 looks like... the last share on FB was Jan. 11 20:44:31 same with Google+1 20:44:38 er, Just Google+ 20:44:46 awesome do we have access to the twitter account? 20:44:47 apparently I now have + and 1 hardwired into my fingers 20:45:10 It would be nice to get some quick links to the magazine as we make important posts on there 20:45:12 croberts: I do 20:45:25 it would be a good way to drive traffic to the magazine 20:45:32 croberts: the problematic bit is that you can make people admins of Google+ or Facebook 20:45:42 Twitter requires something like either giving out the password (bad) 20:45:49 or using Hootsuite or similar to share access 20:45:55 which usually requires a paid subscription 20:45:59 and non-free software 20:46:09 (of course, all the networks themselves are non-free, so...) 20:46:13 ah well if we make important posts on the magazine, can we have you post them on twitter? 20:46:19 croberts: yeah 20:47:09 I'd like to also get keys to the G+ page 20:47:21 suehle: I think you added me to the Fedora FB page 20:47:26 suehle: do you have the keys to the G+ page? 20:47:38 jzb, I don't believe I do, or I'd have added you then. 20:47:44 suehle: good point 20:47:49 On G+, only the person who owns it can add managers. 20:48:04 that would be nice. Any way to drive more traffic to the magazine would be awesome. I think some people think its dead because of the downtime we had, and I want to get people going to it again. 20:48:25 suehle: do we know who that is? 20:48:36 I don't see any way to tell on G+ 20:49:04 Matthew Williams 20:49:05 * nirik has g+... you mean the fedora community, or the fedoraproject page? 20:49:19 https://plus.google.com/b/112917221531140868607/101542819146828378581/posts 20:49:32 About that croberts, what would you say if we write a post at tje mag informing the public that we migrated and now we are back? 20:50:16 suehle: thx 20:50:36 mitzie1: I wouldn't put that on the magazine for posterity 20:50:55 Mitzie: I did send emails to the marketing/magazine mailing lists 20:51:05 saying it was back up, so we should be fine there 20:51:11 mitzie1: I'd just shoot an email to the appropriate lists about contributing to the magazine and note that we've recently revised the site 20:51:23 Hi all 20:51:57 Now so much technical stuff but I think that it would be nice if we let the public know. But anyway 20:51:59 hi coffenia 20:52:29 I agree mitzie could you include that in your email about the beats? 20:52:34 croberts: about the site being back up... 20:53:02 *not so much technical stuff, sorry I am from my cell 20:54:14 *the public and not the contributors 20:54:50 jzb: no sorry 20:54:57 It's been already mentioned in the lists. Anyway if you guys think that it is too much, fine by me 20:55:33 mitzie: I think just an email about the beats and that we are looking for contributors would be nice. 20:55:43 croberts: I was going to say... 20:55:47 croberts: about the site being up? 20:55:55 croberts: it currently isn't. 20:57:08 jzb: hmm let me go look 20:57:26 its working for me 20:57:44 I'm just getting a blank page 20:57:47 I was getting a 503 20:58:01 hmm let me try with firefox 20:58:04 chrome its working fine 20:58:12 hrm 20:58:25 very weird 20:58:49 yeah with firefox its giving me a blank page 20:58:51 chrome works fine 20:58:56 I will get it fixed jzb: 20:59:06 croberts: that's even weirder 20:59:13 I'm getting the site in Chrome on Machine 1 20:59:21 croberts: not getting the site in Chrome on Machine 2 20:59:35 jzb: i will restart it and look at the logs after the meeting 20:59:55 we have been up and running for about 2 weeks now so that is good 21:00:23 gtg -- see you all later! 21:00:26 320108 21:00:35 take it easy suehle 21:00:38 anything else? 21:00:41 closing in 3 21:00:49 Nothing here 21:00:58 #endmeeting
