Did Glen make it in? 14:08:57 or maybe kvaldivia ? 14:10:12 probably not :) I think we can move on 14:10:24 #info New Contributors, keep in touch! The group, or a mentor, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_mentors , are always available for questions 14:10:37 #topic Publican/Publishing 14:10:51 #info randomuser has no news on this subject 14:11:22 we did have an interesting discussion about... formats and stuff during last week's office hours, but nothing actionable 14:11:52 #topic Release Note Beats 14:12:34 urm, well, it's on the schedule... not much to say on this one, besides that I should clear out the beats so people can start whiteboarding in them 14:13:14 yeah, it's way too early 14:13:17 #topic fedora.next 14:13:40 It's not really to early to plan ahead, though 14:14:09 we're planning? I thought the plan was "write the friggin' relnotes" :)) 14:14:17 I sent an email about needing volunteers to follow the deliverable-oriented working groups around 14:15:15 there haven't been any replies to the email yet 14:16:17 even a "I don't have time for that" is a valid reply :P 14:16:45 where did you send it? SIGs? 14:16:55 so far, it looks like there's not going to be anything earth-shattering; probably some new roles, probably a new version of gnome 14:17:10 no, to the docs list 14:17:14 should I send it further? 14:18:10 weird, I must have missed it... but anyway, I don't think fedora-docs is the place to do it. I mean, at least some people on that list already contribute, it's preaching to the choir 14:18:35 we should probably look for volunteers elsewhere 14:19:06 ugh... I thought I sent it 14:19:23 now I'm looking at the archive and don't see it 14:19:32 yeah, it's not in my inbox either :) 14:20:07 it's in my outbox, usual address, 12 Han 14:20:16 12 JANUARY. that's weird 14:21:16 okay, moving on hten 14:21:21 #topic Guide Status 14:21:37 btw, before F21 there was a call for volunteers for relnote beats published in Fedora Magazine, I don't remember who published it but we should ask him to do it again 14:21:51 good call 14:22:06 yeah, Ben Cotton contributed to the IG and fixed all references to yum -> dnf 14:22:12 on the right branches, too :) kudos 14:22:30 #info kudos to bcotton for his installation guide contribution 14:22:57 #action pbokoc to add the privileges section to the sysadmin guide like he promised Capesteve a week ago 14:23:22 * randomuser shakes head 14:23:32 I know, the shame is burning 14:23:44 you're supposed to reward yourself with the beer *after* you do the writing, not just for volunteering to do the writing 14:24:12 yeah, I wanted to have one to get in the mood, and it kinda went wrong after that 14:24:29 * randomuser chuckles 14:24:40 "I'll just have one" is one of the biggest Czech lies, along with "This is my last one" and "I'm never drinking again" 14:24:50 anyway, I don't have anything else on guides I think 14:25:02 I think I will publish the multiboot guide as just a really simple FAQ for now 14:25:15 yeah, it's better than nothing 14:25:23 I watch Ask Fedora for those kind of questions, and the same avoidable problems come up over and over 14:25:51 once a week there's even a question that's just "please reassure me that dual booting is possible" 14:25:59 hehe 14:26:27 alright, when you publish it I'll see if I can find some places to refer to it from the install guide 14:26:38 ugh 14:26:51 I forwarded that mail, pbokoc, and now I see both copies in the archive 14:27:05 that's mildly embarrassing 14:27:23 OH 14:27:40 anyway, guide stuff? 14:28:09 jsmith, since we were talking about formats and such, maybe a good start would be to ask the Cloud SIG how we can enable them 14:28:24 Yes, I'll do that 14:28:32 we have this cloud guide, what needs to happen for you all to maintain it, etc 14:28:59 I've asked before, but there doesn't seem to be much interest in the Cloud Guide -- but I'll ask again 14:29:07 There is some new blood in the group :-p 14:29:11 :) 14:29:57 There's a big difference between sharing notes and contributing to upstream sources, we should be able to meet halfway 14:31:43 #action jsmith to ask Cloud SIG how we can enable them 14:32:10 I suppose it doesn't even have to be the cloud guide per se 14:32:28 any other guide related topics we should go over? 14:33:14 Capesteve has been contributing to the sysadmin guide a lot, so it might need republishing 14:33:26 yes, soon 14:33:26 unfortunately he disappeared 14:33:33 oh, apparently he hasn't 14:33:35 #info randomuser plans to publish mostly non-procedural multiboot guide 14:33:36 nevermind :) 14:34:14 sure, ping when ready, Capesteve 14:35:05 oh, Changes, that's what I was going to bring up for the RNs section 14:35:08 next time 14:35:33 we can do it after pbokoc does his push 14:35:50 oh damnit :)) 14:36:53 #topic Outstanding BZ Tickets 14:37:00 #link http://tinyurl.com/lbrq84 14:37:27 #info If you're looking for something to do, the bug list is a good place to start 14:39:42 oh, pbokoc, did you find someone that knows about efi netbooting? 14:39:58 ah, I forgot about that, sorry 14:40:19 when you do, ask them about creating efi boot entries for a network device too 14:40:19 what about it? 14:40:55 haha nice 14:41:10 pjones, in general, we want to make sure the installation guide is correct. If you have a few minutes to hang around #fedora-docs after the meeting, that would be awesome 14:41:30 efibootmgr -i eth0 -l '\foo.efi' -L 'boot foo from eth0' 14:41:32 ^ should work 14:41:40 ! 14:41:44 sure, just get my attention when you're ready 14:42:09 (I have *zero* confidence the firmware side of that won't kill it during reboot, but...) 14:42:27 that's crazy simple, `man efibootmgr` - or something similar, had some black magic about ACPI device paths 14:43:51 #topic Open Floor discussion 14:46:08 now's your chance for that question you've been holding back 14:48:00 radio silence 14:49:04 https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/8UTIwhI-0xIUEznGzxMpLIguCb05pKHsCf9E42KUjbM 14:49:21 ("Watch out, the enemy is listening" on an old military radio) 14:49:44 Well since the floor is open, I would like to introduce myself and say Hello 14:49:57 aha! 14:50:12 welcome, grundbloom, glad you could make it 14:50:18 hello grundblom 14:51:29 So, I am pretty new, and reading the documentation over and over so I can get an understanding how I can contribute 14:51:40 but thanks for having me 14:51:50 but, I mean so... so thank you for having me 14:52:07 grundblom, do you have some time to hang around? we can go over some things in #fedora-docs, it will probably take more time than our meeting window allows 14:52:37 Sure 14:53:16 cool 14:53:34 did you have any questions about the things covered in the meeting since you joined? 14:54:30 Nope, not yet 14:55:00 okay, let's move over to that other channel and talk about getting started 14:55:13 thanks for coming, everyone 14:55:17 #endmeeting
