Sparks, did you find out why the Installation Guide was erroring out earlier? 14:14:30 pbokoc: I think it was the problem that randomuser fixed but we'll just have to build and see. 14:14:37 which should fix the IG and any others 14:14:38 randomuser: Is the artwork and CSS fixed? 14:14:44 ok then 14:15:18 I will defer presentation questions to rkratky 14:16:54 sorry to say that, but i don't understand that website at all. i wasn't even able to get it working locally. so, i'm fiddling around with my idea of what the site should look like, but i have no idea how to fit it to the existing code. 14:17:36 * lnovich enters the room and runs to the corner 14:17:55 rkratky: You are RH? 14:18:02 Sparks, yep 14:18:21 rkratky: I'll send you a link to the internal engineering site. 14:19:00 Sparks, thanks 14:20:20 rkratky, I can *probably* help with setting it up locally, whenever you have time for it 14:20:57 Sorry, we aren't allowed to publish internal URLs publically. 14:21:18 BUT, basically this is a publican in-house we use for engineering documentation. 14:21:25 that's sensible 14:21:53 rkratky: There's a little CSS there and then the banner images at the top. 14:22:25 rkratky: I suspect the CSS isn't in too bad a shape but I wonder if we can get at least one banner image. 14:22:35 Sparks, i'll try to get my head around that and holler if needed. thanks! 14:22:52 the banner image currently comes from a jcarousel script and include 14:23:07 rkratky: Awesome. I don't know who created it in RH but maybe we could find out and offer them cake for doing it for us? 14:23:09 (the javascript seems to hang, but maybe that's because of missing files?) 14:23:20 Sparks, +1 14:23:26 I would contribute to a cake fund 14:23:26 Sparks, that sounds good 14:23:38 rkratky: Or, you know, we can give you cake. 14:23:39 :) 14:23:48 * lnovich will bake it but delivery will be hard 14:24:14 lnovich: just send him the recipe. :) 14:24:22 Sparks, if i ever get to understanding that mess^cough... code... 14:24:38 its a secret - bakers dont share recipes - that is one thing I don't open source 14:25:16 lnovich, or better yet, just senda picture :-) 14:25:36 to whom? 14:25:39 i have tons 14:25:47 lnovich: Luckily you can't copyright a recipe so you must hold it as a trade secret. 14:26:26 randomuser: Okay, so back on topic... 14:26:30 ywah 14:26:41 what's our action plan for publishing this week? 14:26:42 randomuser: Do we need a 'fest or do we just need a drop dead date? 14:27:18 Sparks, both? I thought that getting a time people could commit to might help participation 14:27:56 true. 14:28:01 Sparks, rkratky - for the CSS, maybe we should start defining things like "acceptance criteria" 14:28:14 so we can know when we get to a point that's good enough 14:29:37 I think the CSS should be similar to the changes the web site is contemplating - have you seen their proposal? It looks nice! 14:29:47 I don't think we're going to get buy-in from websites or design, and it isn't fair to stack everything on rkratky 14:30:12 randomuser, so far, i'm afraid we're having the opposite problem - defining what's the least we need to do. 14:30:18 randomuser: When does websites and design meet? 14:30:26 no what i mean is, the same font, same color, etc. and incorporate these items into the CSS 14:30:54 lnovich, which proposal is that? 14:31:15 Sparks, not sure they do 14:31:33 i saw a proposal for a new Fedora website - don't remember where ATM...but it was a much needed improvement 14:33:21 well, i like the idea in theory 14:33:32 of matching up the main site's color scheme and fonts 14:33:39 and have already done a little of that 14:33:57 randomuser: That's really part of the trademark and branding so we should try to be in step with that. 14:34:09 indeed 14:35:25 that's what i was aiming at. do you know of any up-to-date designs to match? 14:35:38 http://stg.fedoraproject.org/ :/ 14:35:46 That's not it. That can't be it. 14:36:05 and i bet there was 200 people that told me the website suxed this weekend and i told them to report it the websites team and gave them the lonk 14:36:20 Southern_Gentlem: Which website? 14:37:53 fedoraproject.org 14:38:06 Southern_Gentlem: Okay, so that's not us. :) 14:38:12 heh 14:38:57 lnovich, I have a suspicion you're referring to a mockup done in inkscape that was put forward as a "wouldn't it be nice if someone else did this" 14:39:29 maybe? i don't know it was a while ago 14:39:39 * randomuser subscribes to the websites list 14:40:46 okay, their git repo has a branch for fedora.next 14:40:53 that is worth looking into 14:41:02 great - can we steal their CSS? 14:41:04 randomuser, good idea, i'll do that too 14:41:06 yes 14:41:11 opps i mean borrow 14:41:22 they encourage that 14:41:48 rkratky, try to do a better job than I did of commenting :) 14:41:49 so as long as our html output matches we're ok 14:42:17 randomuser, commenting what? 14:42:44 rkratky, the CSS; it just occurred to me i didn't comment very well at all to show what values came from where in the websites css and what they apply to 14:43:30 randomuser, i didn't know it was you who did the css in the first place 14:43:33 it might be self-apparent to some, but it wasn't for me and I'll probably have to play catchup now 14:44:00 rkratky, i added some things to site-overrides.css, basically just to add colors and fonts to match the main site 14:44:09 quite crude 14:44:28 ahem 14:44:41 so, let's get some actions out of this discussion please 14:45:08 #action randomuser to initiate whenisgood poll for publishing party 14:46:35 that's it? 14:47:08 * zoglesby is here 14:47:19 well, my action could be 'stop being lost in the code', but i'm not sure i can commit to that ;-) 14:47:23 heh 14:47:53 #action rkratky to investigate publican web frontend code 14:48:09 randomuser, very diplomatic :-) 14:49:17 bah 14:49:21 let's move on 14:49:28 #topic outstanding bugs 14:49:36 http://tinyurl.com/lbrq84 14:49:40 We have bugs 14:49:55 randomuser: There seems to be a bug WRT closed-source software being mentioned in the Release Notes but it's really old. 14:50:09 randomuser: I think it's opened against rel-notes. 14:50:11 oh? 14:50:22 the rpm, Sparks ? 14:50:25 .bug 1036843 14:50:28 Sparks: Bug 1036843 x2go section of Fedora 20 Release notes says "Closed Source" and infers x2go is based on closed source - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1036843 14:50:45 Oh right... what that says. 14:50:49 eh.. it seems like i rephrased that form them 14:51:00 Anyway, maybe you can address it and close it or fix it? 14:51:16 Sparks, it seems to be closed already? 14:52:04 randomuser: Hmm, you are correct. I'm wondering why I'm getting a nag email about it. 14:52:18 those nag emails are fun, eh? 14:52:55 i haven't figured out the pattern in which ones it chooses to nag about 14:53:15 randomuser: Ahh, the review flag is set on the patch. I'm guessing that patch got used? 14:53:28 I think so 14:53:49 Sparks, you *do* have commit privs to RNs, btw 14:54:05 randomuser: Oh do I? :) 14:55:29 randomuser: I'm pretty sure I was holding that out for QA 14:55:59 randomuser: But you closed it so I marked the patch as being reviewed positively. The nags should stop now. 14:56:03 ok 14:57:40 #info open floor in #fedora-docs 14:57:57 randomuser: Shouldn't that be #topic? 14:58:13 it's a bit late to start a new topic :) 14:58:18 #topic open floor 14:58:34 I have something, but we can talk in docs 14:59:11 #action zoglesby to talk about priority of docs 14:59:15 #undo 14:59:22 sad face :( 14:59:45 randomuser: action that, but add 'on the list' on the end 15:00:28 #action zoglesby to start discussion of docs priority on the list 15:00:36 #endmeeting
