I don't want to go through the IG and change it everyhwhere and a week later find out that we're supposed to call it something else again 14:24:12 pbokoc, iirc, it was RFC to the marketing list, semi-official 14:24:42 * pbokoc nods 14:25:39 #action to find mail about 'flavor' vs 'product' jargon, get clarification from mattdm, mail docs list 14:25:57 #link https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-21/f-21-docs-tasks.html 14:26:36 We're at the end of the race now; time to cram in last minute adjustments, publish often 14:27:06 http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/immanetize/publican2/ can probably be used to publish 14:27:53 #help review release notes for missing content 14:28:33 I was going to ask devel@ for a look-over; anything to wait on ? 14:30:30 ok, I'll do that after making the edits zoglesby and I have planned 14:30:44 #topic Publican/Publishing 14:31:09 We've been discussing some tools to build the front end, including but not limited to publican 14:31:54 The idea is that something other than publican building the site index would allow other formats to be contributed 14:32:19 ...there's not a whole lot else to say; if you want to know more, get involved :) 14:32:42 #topic Guide Status 14:33:17 Where are we on guides? What needs to be done before release day, specifically? 14:34:07 how to download ISOs, create bootable media and boot the install - for the Install Guide. I have some other tasks to do but they don't really *have* to be done; they're somewhat less important. 14:34:41 I'll get some of it done this week, I can reuse some procedures from RHEL 14:34:56 and I saw randomuser make a few commits too 14:35:12 oh, yeah, and I need a bunch of screenshots :) 14:36:46 pbokoc, I struggled some of the thins in the prerelease section 14:36:52 things, even 14:37:39 like the 'how to download isos' - just go do it! 14:37:41 :P 14:37:56 randomuser, yeah, I know, some of it should be pretty obvious 14:38:13 but 14:38:23 that section should contain a link to the DL page 14:38:28 * randomuser nods 14:38:37 a note that you can also get spins and other products etc. - it's a bit hidden on the site 14:38:44 and a description of what the various images actually do 14:39:02 screenshots seem like an easyfix thing, especially if the context is set up already 14:39:45 randomuser, it's gonna be a bit complicated because afaik the current composes still show the "PRE-RELEASE/TESTING" thing in the top right corner, and the productname isn't final either 14:39:55 #help F21 installation screenshots needed for Installation Guide 14:40:00 oh, hrm 14:40:01 and styles might be missing too 14:40:02 #undo 14:40:02 Removing item from minutes: HELP by randomuser at 14:39:55 : F21 installation screenshots needed for Installation Guide 14:40:23 but I have an updates.img to fix that - it's just that anyone who wants to do it should talk to me first :) 14:40:30 nice! 14:40:44 #help F21 installation screenshots needed for Installation Guide - talk to pbokoc to get started 14:42:21 oh, one more thing for the IG 14:42:30 it doesn't have any info on ARM right now, and it should 14:42:49 I would like to also have the multiboot-guide out for F21, but no detailed progress report 14:43:25 jsmith has been playing with ARM things 14:44:04 * randomuser has tried, has a small pile of probably bricked android sticks to show for it 14:44:16 :-D 14:44:29 they sacrificed their lives for the greater good 14:44:59 pbokoc, it might be better to give an overview and link out to wiki pages that the ARM SIG is actively maintaining, due to the variety of devices and different procedures for them 14:45:16 although I know the ARM SIG probably wanted more than that 14:45:19 randomuser, yeah, I think that might be a good approach 14:45:22 randomuser, yep, they did 14:45:34 kinda dropped the ball on that I guess 14:45:46 pbokoc, well, I didn't see them send any patches, either 14:46:19 I have some install stuff in the arm-guide in git 14:46:47 zoglesby, docs/ARM-getting-started-guide.git? 14:46:55 yeah 14:47:00 its a work in progress 14:47:12 slow progress 14:48:05 mmmmm 14:48:19 zoglesby, are you planning on publishing it for F21? 14:48:42 pbokoc: not anymore, I have not had the time to work on it 14:49:18 I hope to have it ready published out of cycle 14:49:29 hmm 14:49:29 as in before F22 14:50:50 well, I'll try to figure something out 14:52:53 pbokoc, is the anaconda help updateable from some online source, or local only? 14:53:01 * zoglesby runs off to another meeting 14:53:20 randomuser, that kinda depends on how you' 14:53:23 re running anaconda 14:54:04 if it's from boot media (install DVD, netinst ISO, live image, etc.) then no, you're pretty much stuck with what's on the image unless you have an updates image 14:54:25 if you're running anaconda on an installed system, then normal updates to Anaconda can update the help too 14:54:41 but there's no way to run Anaconda and give it a parameter to fetch updated help files or anything like that 14:54:51 that would be a horrible PITA 14:54:53 Is there a use case for running anaconda on an installed system? 14:55:15 randomuser, yeah, mostly for installing to a disk image 14:55:23 if you want to do it manually or semi-interactively 14:55:43 ah... I haven't played with that in a while, almost thought they dropped it 14:56:22 https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/chap-disk-image-installation.html#sect-disk-image-installation-manual 14:56:46 pbokoc, I guess what I'm getting at is that it might be better to refer to the full IG for localized instructions; your RN implies that media might have translated content 14:57:34 hm 14:57:43 well, I guess I'll just remove the last sentence 14:57:58 so it only says "no l10n for you!" 14:58:01 #topic Open Floor 14:59:31 Voting on Council elections closes soon - don't miss your chance! 15:00:14 randomuser, got a link? 15:00:23 oh, nvm 15:00:43 https://apps.fedoraproject.org/voting 15:00:47 #endmeeting
