And i think QA said enough is enough, we need time to catch up our tooling 14:08:10 ...so if we wanted to invest our time in some sort of tooling for RNs, this might be a unique opportunity 14:08:49 That's pretty much it, a lot going into automation right now 14:09:05 * gomix is here.. ~ 14:09:06 For qa, that is 14:09:27 i heard there are to be different versions of Fedora 14:09:44 * zoglesby is late 14:09:58 how will that effect our work? 14:10:00 that's the idea, lnovich : workstation, server, cloud, others 14:10:13 lnovich, that's Fedora.next... http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora.next 14:10:26 are there any "others" planned right now? 14:10:31 it'll affect our work however we want it to, I guess 14:10:37 * pbokoc can't wait to rewrite the entire install guide 14:10:38 ciupicri, just spins afaik 14:10:50 so will each guide now have 4 flavors? 14:11:05 no, they all draw from the same repos still 14:11:20 lnovich, I think it's going to be similar to RHEL variants. You know, like RHEL is available as Server, Workstation, etc. 14:11:23 most all things will still apply to most all users 14:11:34 what about the software collections? 14:11:42 will some packages be available to some and not others? 14:12:38 I would encourage everyone interested in following development of these products to subscribe to relevant lists - devel@, cloud@, desktop@ server@ 14:12:47 Everything is still going to be available to everyone 14:13:17 and @env-and-stacks :-) 14:13:44 I've put this discussion on the FAD agenda, btw 14:13:55 good idea randomuser 14:14:19 we don't have the resources to push a member onto the WGs, so it's mostly a pay attention and see what happens game at this point 14:14:26 is the agenda available somewhere? 14:15:00 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_FAD_2014#Purpose 14:15:18 oh right, I'm just blind 14:15:27 hrmm.. at least I thought I put it in there somewhere 14:16:02 we should put an agenda together 14:16:13 randomuser: i am actually in one of the WGs - env -and-stacks 14:16:23 please do add to the wiki, lnovich :) 14:16:40 and there was a call for more docs people to join their WGs of interest 14:16:46 like I have any notion of what it should be? 14:16:49 pkovar, bah. shows how much I've actually been paying attention :) 14:16:50 when the WGs were forming last year 14:17:07 What's a WG? 14:17:13 but you can still join 14:17:23 any of the WGs if you want 14:17:25 lnovich, working group 14:17:30 oh ok 14:17:34 there are all open 14:17:42 is there a list? 14:18:05 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora.next :) 14:19:11 pkovar, is there anything coming for SLCs/rings/don't break my application, fedora ? 14:19:36 i know that was a big part pf Matt's proposal, but i'm missing the discussion on it these days 14:19:47 randomuser: yes, it's in the PRD: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Env_and_Stacks/Product_Requirements_Document 14:20:14 * randomuser needs to subscribe to the env-and-stacks list, didn't know it existed 14:20:26 Software Collections (SCLs) and much more :-) 14:20:27 ok I updated the wiki 14:20:42 once we have a list of topics we can make a more formal schedule 14:21:29 will there be any new writers attending the FAD? 14:21:53 not that i'm aware of, lnovich 14:22:53 If we can figure out how to record the sessions the writers in australia would love to see it 14:23:04 hey pkovar - have you gotten any push back from the people that have been maintaining the packaging wiki pages re: packaging guide? 14:23:17 ie "i don't want that info where I can't easily change it" ? 14:24:37 randomuser:yes, there have been some conversations with package maintainers recently 14:25:02 on env-and-stacks@ ? I'll read the archive 14:25:15 more like irl 14:25:18 at devconf etc. 14:25:25 aah 14:25:58 one think is people want to keep the packaging guidelines in Packaging namespace on the wiki - makes sense 14:26:48 an actual guide has more gravity though, and potential for much better presentation, translation, etc 14:26:51 but then there are plenty of more or less outdated and unmaintained wiki tutorials 14:27:03 that i would like to replace with the packagers guide 14:27:16 randomuser: absolutely 14:27:37 i tried to cover this in the env stacks prd 14:27:50 * randomuser shakes head 14:27:54 keep the official guidelines where they are 14:28:06 i need to do some reading 14:28:10 maintained by the p committee 14:28:44 and provide a new getting started document for fedora contributors on docs.fp.o 14:28:55 we could still use wiki pages for draft content 14:29:08 submitted by packagers, eg 14:29:44 but that applies to any other guide we write for fedora i think 14:29:51 * randomuser nods 14:30:07 you know, it might be nice to "watch" a wiki page via list 14:30:24 ie subscribe docs-qa@ to the packaging guidelines 14:30:33 it's not like we're using it for anything else 14:30:45 yeah, true 14:31:25 otoh the packaging committee is sending announce emails whenever they change the official guidelines afaik 14:34:14 so a guide to replace the first few levels of http://fedoraproject.org/join-fedora is also being discussed, pkovar ? 14:35:19 randomuser: not that i know of. that would be out of scope for the env stack wg 14:35:32 ok, I misunderstood then 14:36:39 we were really only talking about wiki pages 14:36:52 let's move on to the FAD 14:36:53 #topic Docs FAD 14:38:02 is funding secure? 14:38:10 as in all set 14:39:35 #chair lnovich 14:39:35 Current chairs: lnovich randomuser 14:39:38 lnovich, will you lead this portion of the meeting please? 14:41:06 ok - sure as far as I know there is funding available and those who need it should have asked for it already correct? 14:42:49 The agenda will be built once we know the topics to be presented 14:43:15 so please put your ideas/requests here -->https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_FAD_2014 14:44:38 if you are attending, make sure your name is on the appropriate list 14:45:18 Sorry - time got away from me 14:45:31 so far there are 5 attending in Brno and 7 in Raleigh 14:45:53 is anyone going whose name is NOT on the list? 14:46:14 jjmcd, you were thinking of bringing someone iirc? 14:46:43 I was going to call N3LRX - haven't done that yet - was out of town last week 14:47:07 And I have a radiogram to Eric asking whether we will have the assets we need 14:47:08 We will need a few more topics for the agenda so please put your ideas on the wiki! 14:47:27 jjmcd, i can bring a soldering iron - but i'll probably be dangerous with it :) 14:47:56 Well, my real concern is a radio and interface. A big part of what we need to do is document how to configure that 14:48:07 Its really tough trying to do it blind 14:48:32 I have got one radio mostly working here, but another brand would be a big win, and I think Eric is a Kenwood guy 14:48:36 <-- Icom 14:49:11 I had to ressurect a kludge I build prolly 15 years ago to test ;-) 14:49:40 ha! well, please sort it out sometime soon 14:49:54 Are there any more announcements/questions regarding FAD? 14:50:12 nb is trying to keep track of our budget, and sparks is getting rooms - one extra person can make things difficult for them on short notice, jjmcd 14:50:32 Yeah got that 14:50:52 Any plans for remote participation? 14:51:07 how remote? 14:51:42 zoglesby, one reason I'm dragging my feet is that I may be more productive remote 14:51:59 lnovich: my house 14:52:07 timezone? 14:52:13 EST 14:52:24 zoglesby, I can probably do some hacky webcam/irc stuff if the facilities don't accomodate 14:52:32 as in, i have a webcam 14:52:36 we could do google hangout 14:53:09 Half of what I need to do takes radios and other hardware. Not so sure building it there would be the best plan :) 14:53:16 * nb is here 14:53:26 But if Eric is bringing the stuff ... 14:53:31 morning, nb 14:53:39 the only person i know of yet that we have plans from is me and randomuser 14:53:59 i think we really need to get them made like *now* so they can maybe be in this fiscal year 14:54:34 hrmm 14:54:34 Bah - Randy isn't in #Fedora-Hams 14:54:55 i see him around #fedora* in the evenings jjmcd 14:55:01 jjmcd, he is in texas i think it is, until 2/20 or 3/20, i forget which 14:55:08 ack 14:55:10 nb, etc - anyone heard from crantila? 14:55:16 * nb can grep his logs later 14:55:20 randomuser, let me look 14:56:31 randomuser, he never responded to my email i sent out asking if people were still going 14:57:02 * randomuser frowns 14:57:14 nor my second email telling people to book their plans 14:57:28 zoglesby, did you find out if you could attend? 14:57:44 nb: I will know on Wed 14:57:46 ok 14:58:01 i think we can safely assume Sparks will be there 14:58:09 nb: but I am not going to ask for funding if I come 14:58:15 oh ok 14:58:23 randomuser, yeah, i think so. 14:58:30 :) 14:58:47 jjmcd, are you coming to raleigh? 14:59:07 nb, trying to figure out whether it is better to work from here 14:59:18 I have asked Eric what he can bring 14:59:31 jjmcd, if you need ot bring stuff, we can either reimburse you for a checked baggage fee, or I can make you a UPS label that bills Fedora 14:59:35 same goes for Sparks 14:59:40 But without radios, interfaces, TNCs, tough to document stuff you can't run 14:59:49 jjmcd, it depends on how high of a priority the ARG is compared to the rest, no? 15:00:03 randomuser, yeah, I suppose there is something to that 15:00:18 i mean, if the whole thing is an ARG hackfest, i'll be useless 15:00:26 my main hope is to get the publican/koji website going 15:00:37 nb: I think that was a main goal 15:00:37 Well, I assumed me and Sparks would focus on that. 15:00:47 nb, yes I would like to see that 15:00:52 and prolly help, too 15:01:27 but we called for the FAD because of concerns about participation in the group, so that needs to be a main focus 15:01:36 * randomuser checks the meeting schedule - nothing encroaching 15:01:43 zoglesby, +1 15:01:49 #info we have a sysadmin-docs FAS group now, which is for the people who need SSH access for docs-backend01.phx2.fedoraproject.org 15:02:16 that is my primary priority, discuss participation, improve process docs, improve process 15:02:19 discuss deliverables 15:02:22 we be out of time! 15:02:52 nb: didn't we have that group already? 15:02:52 Yeah, net is starting 15:02:59 lnovich, have you made your travel plans yet? 15:03:00 jjmcd, ? 15:03:10 working on them 15:03:21 * nb is tryign to get people reimbursed before the end of the month/fiscal year if possible 15:03:24 MACS 3.952 15:03:33 may stay in Brno a few days more if the office will approve 15:03:53 but will book flight this week 15:04:16 lnovich, ok 15:04:52 I hate to say this but do we have a "snow day" plan 15:04:57 zoglesby, no we did not, we used sysadmin-web 15:05:06 ha! 15:05:08 which gives access to app* proxy*, etc 15:05:19 nb: yeah I just looked at that 15:05:24 sysadmin-docs only gives us access to docs-backend01 15:05:56 nb: so if we are in sysadmin-web do we still needed added to sysadmin-docs? 15:06:28 zoglesby, yes 15:06:34 ok 15:06:41 zoglesby, you would like added? 15:06:43 * nb can do 15:06:50 nb: yep 15:07:15 I am the only docs sponsor for sysadmin, rudi/rlandmann and I are both sponsors for sysadmin-docs 15:08:34 okay, let's wrap this up 15:08:36 <fedmsg-bot> fas.group.member.apply -- nb applied for zoglesby's membership in the sysadmin-docs group 15:08:36 <fedmsg-bot> fas.group.member.sponsor -- nb sponsored zoglesby's membership in the sysadmin-docs group 15:08:43 .members sysadmin-docs 15:08:44 nb: Members of sysadmin-docs: immanetize @nb +rlandmann sparks zoglesby 15:08:51 randomuser: to get this back on track, I think we need to talk about the docs participation issue and get the publican stuff figured out as priorities for the FAD 15:09:25 zoglesby, keep it up, and I'll start nagging you to attend more 15:10:08 randomuser, FYI, last week I got yet another task.
