I'm typing up the info I got from the Anaconda team for the installer section 14:14:21 I don't have anything specific, just looking what's going on as it's Beta time and if you need anything from me :) 14:14:46 randomuser, are you going to build and publish the thing for tomorrow? 14:16:02 I will, yes 14:16:06 #action randomuser to build and publish release notes before Beta announcement 14:16:22 randomuser++ 14:16:59 #info thanks to everyone who helped write RNs so far, especially pbokoc 14:17:46 * pbokoc swoons 14:17:58 :) 14:18:10 #topic Guide Status 14:18:44 Capesteve, iirc you were taking on DNF for the sysadmin guide, how goes it? 14:18:52 * Capesteve is working on DNF chapter, still nned to test dnf config-manager 14:19:17 the plugin section will be harder, lots of changes 14:19:40 * randomuser notes, anecdotally, that dnf repoquery is frustratingly different 14:19:47 Capesteve, how can we help? 14:21:08 try to figure out what plugin are just not implemented vs, those functions now in plugin core 14:22:34 I have add some "security issues" last week which have put me behind where I was hopping to be with this task 14:23:01 hmm, ok. you have a pad or wiki page running, right? 14:23:15 http://piratepad.net/fO3wDDEf2I 14:24:09 alright, I'll try to catch up with you in the next few days 14:24:19 ta 14:24:27 #info Capesteve is working on DNF content for sysadmin guide, ping him to assist 14:24:44 any other guides we should review today? 14:26:28 #chair pbokoc 14:26:28 Current chairs: pbokoc randomuser 14:27:26 ok, we'll move on then 14:27:36 #topic Publishing 14:27:45 an ever-popular topic 14:27:54 :) 14:28:23 I've been looking for feedback on the metadata proposal and the proposal to only publish relatively current releases 14:28:41 last meeting we were going to take the discussion to the list, but nobody showed 14:29:03 are there any new thoughts? 14:29:39 * pbokoc forgot 14:29:57 I’d say my dog ate my email .. but htat is too lame 14:30:01 it was just a busy week 14:30:15 regarding metadata 14:30:16 sharktopus ate my mail 14:30:22 archive anything older than Fed20 unless there is nothing to replace it ? 14:30:26 I know that we have been talking about using jenkinscat or something similar — at times 14:30:34 it has a metadata file that may contain some of what we need ... 14:30:36 (sorry, pkovar, I only just now saw your reply) 14:30:51 randomuser has an instance running... did you make it public yet, btw? 14:31:04 bexelbie, I've been working on something similar to jenkinscat, only with buildbot, because java is scary 14:31:13 agreed on java 14:31:25 pbokoc, I have not, because I want to get authentication into a semi-functional state first 14:31:25 but soon 14:31:25 but perhaps we should take the file format if we can 14:32:20 ugh … double meeting time for a few min sorry 14:32:24 I was looking over the stuff publican creates, and '--embed-toc' basically does an include of a generated toc.html 14:32:55 so I'll create the toc.html and drop it in :) 14:35:04 otherwise... I need some design ideas 14:35:15 so then it's going to build something that looks like a docs website? :) 14:35:31 * bexelbie is back 14:35:37 building guides is good, but to generate a docs website, I need an idea of what we want a docs website to look like 14:35:42 I mean, if you get that sorted, then it's just a matter of dressing it up a bit, right? 14:35:51 * randomuser was hoping ryanlerch would jump in there 14:35:57 randomuser, that is a deep question 14:36:10 it opens up issues related to the stronger variants we are seeing in Fedora … 14:36:11 imho 14:36:45 * lnovich is here - sorry was busy 14:37:10 bexelbie, indeed. It's not something I'm enthusiastic about making an executive decision on, especially when there's an opportunity to unify the site design with other Fedora stuff 14:37:58 randomuser, I suspect we won’t get it all done at once 14:38:13 I suggest that we move forward with a listing of all current book editions and an archive area 14:38:18 regarding design - couldn't we just reach out to the Fedora design team, or SIG, or whatever the name is? 14:38:23 realistically taht is likely to come out if people like me ever bother to answer their email 14:38:41 they have some interesting things they are developing called hubs 14:38:48 #actiun bexelbie to bother to answer email 14:38:54 as far as I'm concerned it could be a completely unstyled page, I'd be fine with that... or even just a directory listing 14:38:59 :D 14:39:24 bexelbie, I'd like to at least have some of the categorization bits in place 14:39:29 Building an unstyled page and then using whatever boostrapper the rest of Fedora is using would have significant advantages 14:39:40 I even ran into something that actually had an Apache directory list instead of a documentation splash page :-D 14:39:47 i think that when it comes to finding content we have enough to keep us busy for a long time - maybe we should get the design team to do their magic and give us a facelift? 14:40:30 I suppose I could do something more formal to ask for help from the design team, like a trac ticket 14:40:42 +! 14:40:47 s/!/1 14:41:10 #action randomuser to request design assistance for anerist via design team trac 14:41:10 randomuser, did you ask them before? 14:41:32 yeah, I've discussed the ideas with mizmo and ryanlerch on IRC 14:41:40 right 14:42:00 but please, help me iron out this metadata thing 14:42:17 I don't want to move forward with that not implemented 14:42:53 once we have a general template agreed on, we need to make up lists of acceptable values 14:43:32 well, I'm not very creative, I'm afraid 14:44:14 oh, I should also see if puiterwijk can be cajoled into getting buildbot to work with FAS 14:44:47 randomuser: I am willing to. have already once offered to do that 14:45:02 but I was told that a new buildbot is going to be out real soon that rewrites a lot of the internals 14:45:38 so just let me know if you want the current one patched with FAS support 14:45:50 puiterwijk, awesome! what can I do to help make it happen? 14:46:10 randomuser: tell me you want it and some more info ;) 14:46:26 but looks like you're in a meeting, so you probably want to ask that in another channel ( don't want to take over the meeting) 14:46:33 I'll be in touch :) 14:49:41 maybe the best thing I can do to further this discussion is to make my work more accessible to everyone, so it can be better discussed 14:50:24 one step at a time... 14:50:34 #topic Outstanding BZ tickets 14:50:41 #link http://tinyurl.com/lbrq84 14:50:56 Any bugs you'd like to discuss specifically? 14:53:18 I don't think there have ever been any :3 14:53:41 #topic Open Floor Discussion 14:54:28 gotta go, sorry to bail early 14:56:28 grundblom, bye 14:59:52 randomuser: can you #endmeeting ? 14:59:57 #endmeeting
