I think we were able to keep a lot of the sense of what Bryan put together, ultimately 21:09:31 the ohter posts this week were the g11n one, and mattdm 's announcement about the revised release date 21:09:53 with that one, i tried to make the headline a little less negative in the social posts 21:10:04 "Fedora 23 release date revised" 21:10:11 rather than delayed :) 21:10:42 for the month, we are going to be less than last month, but still pushing 150,000 pageviews 21:11:02 yeah, and mattdm's take on it was really well done... it's hard to make a slip sound *good* but he did a great job explaining what the tradeoffs are 21:11:04 also sometime during this month we broke the 2million pageviews 21:11:24 and that's about it for this week 21:11:34 next week is going to be a big one though :) 21:12:05 ryanlerch: AWESOME! 21:12:19 yes, it certainly will -- hopefully sets the pace for a record-breaking November 21:12:36 Definitely! 21:12:54 All right, rolling ahead then... 21:12:56 #topic Week ahead 21:13:09 #info F23 announcement (DUH!) 21:13:19 Didn't see that one coming. :) 21:13:41 So in the past this has been copied in from the wiki... I was planning on doing that on Monday afternoon, at which point all the relevant info should be there. 21:14:05 At the same time, I'll have a watch on the wiki page so if it *does* change suddenly I can fix the FMag article to match 21:14:34 jzb: Does that work for you? Did you, or anyone, have other ideas about how to do this differently/better? 21:15:14 I have been a bit detached, honestly 21:15:21 but that seems workable 21:15:38 stickster: sounds good -- the wiki does need a little work 21:15:58 i did a small bit yesterday -- it was still talking about bete 21:16:11 jzb: No worries, I might be asking the wrong person. I'll post something to the list about it :-) 21:16:17 Thanks ryanlerch 21:16:38 #action stickster post to marketing ML to remind about F23 announcement and outline plan, look for any input/objectiosn 21:16:55 #info systemd next part 21:17:22 So on this note... I don't think we *have* a next part right now, although we do have later parts 21:19:21 * jflory7 nods 21:20:07 * stickster wondering if he's talking to himself 21:20:19 Bryan was also writing that one, right? 21:20:57 Would be nice to have something close to a final draft by Sunday, this week was definitely a time crunch. It worked itself out, it seems, but was definitely hurried there at the end 21:20:59 will the next part be part2-1? or the orignial part 3? 21:21:00 correct -- I can reach out to him to see if he's putting something in, but the point of having the drafts due early is to prevent an editing crunch. Perhaps a bit selfish since I figured on doing the editing for some of these :-) 21:21:35 stickster: not at all selfish 21:22:47 #action stickster mail Bryan to check status 21:22:51 ^ done just now, btw 21:22:56 Sounds good. 21:23:01 +1 21:23:35 ryanlerch: Your question above is a good one -- whether we want to use some of the other material Bryan wrote originally on some lesser-used units, or move ahead to dependencies 21:24:32 Other than next week's article, all of the others seem to be in good standing. 21:24:43 (and ordering.) I tend to think the lesser-used units would be good to save for a later post, because they're... well, less used. :-) However, ordering in systemd is actually REALLY cool and both more simple and more complex than you'd think 21:25:00 if those lesser used units are more obscure, it might not flow as well to have another article in there about units 21:25:06 jflory7: Yeah, I wouldn't be opposed to moving forward with something else now, and then giving some more time for the deps/ordering thing 21:25:15 it might work better towards the end of the series 21:25:40 ryanlerch: They are things like mount, automount, timer, and path -- some are quite *important* but they're not nearly as often used by humans 21:26:16 ah -- so then i reckon we skip them for now :) 21:26:24 keep the flow going 21:26:57 IMHO this series is just the scratch the surface overview :) 21:27:22 although there are some *great* topics we could explore without getting too complicated, like FAQ type thngs 21:27:44 jds2001: What would you think about us taking your article on converting SysVinit scripts next? 21:28:18 That would give me time to gear up either #3 on systemd ordering, or #4 on journal, in the midst of next week's hubbub 21:28:33 Hi guys, I'm keekri, a new volunteer who's applying for outreachy this time. Sorry for being late, but can I sit through the meeting too ? 21:28:45 keekri: welcome! 21:28:47 sure thing keekri :) 21:28:52 keekri: Sure thing 21:28:58 Thanks! :) 21:29:07 in fact, I have a bunch of meetings you can sit through :P 21:29:20 OK, in the interest of time, I can ask jds2001 about using his article offline/on list 21:29:38 stickster: the scripts conversion one would work in this order IMHO 21:29:48 It seems like it, especially since they're generally simple to do 21:30:08 Welcome keekri :) 21:30:09 and a good follow-on from the what is a unitfile post 21:30:15 #action stickster contact #5 author about using his SysVinit post next 21:30:40 #info OpenVPN post 21:31:10 oh wait, we'll get there 21:31:12 #undo 21:31:12 Removing item from minutes: INFO by stickster at 21:30:40 : OpenVPN post 21:31:18 #info Fedora Developer Portal 21:31:33 Hi everyone, I am bee.

We need to have it ready for tomorrow morning just in case the portal is ready to go then -- it's not clear that will be the case but would be good to be prepared :-) 21:34:05 stickster: I can definitely have that done, Fridays are good days for me 21:34:08 Any time in particular? 21:34:39 http://fedoramagazine.org/?p=10476&preview_id=10476 21:34:41 jflory7: Well, the portal guys are in Brno, CZ -- so they are UTC +1 right now (compared to my UTC -4 on East Coast, 5 hours ahead) 21:34:41 #info keekri (UTC+5.30) Interested in Storytelling, Wiki, Commops, Fedora Magazine and Fedora Comm Blog. 21:34:47 #action jflory7 Do final review / edits for Developer Portal article by Friday 21:34:54 I can have it done earlier tomorrow then 21:35:03 I'm usually up pretty early for US EST anyways. 21:35:11 jflory7: So if it's done tonight that would be ideal -- that way if they go live in the morning Europe time, Ryan can hit publish for them 21:35:19 Ah, I see 21:35:29 Will definitely look at it tonight then. 21:35:29 jflory7: i can work on the featured image too 21:35:31 #undo 21:35:31 Removing item from minutes: ACTION by jflory7 at 21:34:47 : jflory7 Do final review / edits for Developer Portal article by Friday 21:35:38 #action jflory7 Do final review / edits for Developer Portal article by later tonight 21:35:42 it is slightly the wrong dimensions 21:35:47 But I know that could be a big request -- jflory7, don't feel like we're chaining you to a keyboard! 21:35:58 stickster: Definitely not, I don't mind. :) 21:36:09 jflory7: You are AWESOME! 21:36:12 jflory7++ 21:36:13 stickster: Karma for jflory7 changed to 6 (for the f23 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 21:36:22 jflory7++ 21:36:23 YOU get a cookie, and YOU get a cookie... 21:36:28 :) 21:36:30 beees! 21:36:54 http://beesbeesbees.com/ 21:36:56 sorry 21:37:02 lol 21:37:27 Heheh. 21:37:40 Anyways, so anything else for the Portal article? 21:38:09 nothing I can think of 21:38:20 nothing from me 21:38:28 So with those in the hopper, it should be a decent week of publishing :-) 21:38:36 stickster: woot! 21:38:40 Awesome! 21:38:56 was thinking of drafting up a few extended articles about f23 features 21:38:56 That DNF upgrade article will finally see the light of day. :D 21:39:19 You're right jflory7! That needs to go out either later in the day Tuesday or Wednesday morning! 21:39:21 to complement the dnf update one by jflory7 21:39:43 ryanlerch: Was it decided in a previous meeting how to do that? 21:39:56 I mean, order/timing of publishing announcement vs. DNF upgrade article 21:40:13 stickster: i cant recall if we decided anything 21:40:16 Ooh. Actually, I need to go back and do a little context editing, I wrote it under the pretense that F23 was on the way 21:40:25 Hey guys, I know I'm new but is there something that I could do ? I've an important test on Saturday moring but after that, I'm free all week so... 21:40:38 #action jflory7 Update DNF upgrade article to reflect being published after F23 release 21:40:45 in the past it was after -- only because i only remembered to do it a day or so after, and not as oganized as jflory7 21:42:10 keekri: If you're tight for time, you could read the meeting minutes tonight, but I would start by signing into the Magazine with the FAS and adding your account to the Wordpress. Then I would send a short little intro to the marketing list and we can help get you started from there. :) 21:42:44 ^ Yup, what jflory7 said! Also keekri, if you have a sample of writing you've done that you could point us to, that would help us gauge where you could help :-) 21:43:08 personal blog, any online article you've written, whatever :-) 21:43:17 Sure thing! I mean, I could help with the DNF upgrade article if you don't mind getting it by tuesday/wednesday 21:44:54 So I think -- ryanlerch, correct me if I'm wrong -- it would be good to get the DNF article out in the magazine roughly the same time as the release announcement, but "pin" the announcement at the top of the feed for at least a few days 21:45:23 Oh yeah, I've a blog. It doesn't have the tech articles I write though, that's in other that I'm revamping. But the not tech is here ==> https://cutencrazyindie.wordpress.com/ 21:46:35 cool keekri -- thanks! 21:46:39 stickster: That sounds like a good plan to me. 21:46:48 :D! 21:46:59 ryanlerch: ^^ DNF timing/plan sound right to you? 21:47:22 stickster: yes! 21:47:50 sorry! was here, just missed that message :) 21:47:50 Awesome! 21:47:51 #agreed Publish DNF update article alongside F23 announcement, and pin the announcement at top for a few days (All The Hits) 21:48:11 If you want I get do a quick summary on the OpenVPN article. 21:48:16 Hi, Could you give me a quick overview of what topics can we write an article on for magazine ? 21:48:31 bee2502: I think there will be an open floor 21:48:45 jflory7: keekri: Why don't you guys agree to do editing volley on DNF -- keekri could check it on Sunday/Monday when jflory7 is done 21:48:49 sound good? 21:48:56 Sounds great to me! 21:49:05 hey bee2502! if you want to jump into #fedora-mktg after this meeting, we can all help you out! 21:49:13 same for you too keekri! :) 21:49:14 stickster: Great!

Didn't get done by today but it's technically a week ahead plus next week will be busy 21:50:24 ha! 21:50:27 jzb : What's an open floor ? 21:50:32 Not much else to say on it, hahah! 21:50:34 Anyways-- 21:50:41 <-- knows NOTHING about missing his own deadlines. NOTHING I TELL YOU 21:50:45 keekri: a time to ask questions not on the agenda 21:50:52 ;) 21:50:58 oh, got it! 21:51:16 so comminityblog is *liveish* 21:51:17 So -- the commblog is basically on the verge of going public i.e. soft launch 21:51:27 Awesome. 21:51:31 yeah, that. I added an article for you about an hour ago, by the way ryanlerch :-) 21:51:32 http://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/ 21:51:42 So, I guess is our question about whether we want to launch pre- or post-Fedora release? 21:51:52 still think we have issues with the permalinks though 21:52:04 Someone discussed where we discuss it, and I think jzb brought up a great point of keeping it on marketing@ list where we are gaining momentum/gravity 21:52:13 that is links like this http://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/?p=6 rather than the postname 21:52:15 Right. So we will need croberts to look at that? 21:52:19 Is there agenda that we can access? 21:52:23 need to see if i can get hold of him today 21:52:27 ryanlerch: Yeah, that should be simple enough to fix -- I think I know how to do it 21:52:28 keekri: See this. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Magazine/Editorial_meetings 21:52:38 Got it! 21:52:45 stickster: i turend it on in the admin interface, but it made posts 404 21:52:59 is there something on the serverside we need to do to fix it? 21:53:03 bee2502: ^^^ same for you too. 21:53:10 ryanlerch: Right, you also I believe need to have something flipped in .htaccess to allow mod_rewrite to do its thing 21:53:19 stickster: ah! :) 21:53:52 CHECK OUT THE BIG BRAIN ON PAUL! Like a broken clock, right twice a day usually :-) 21:54:22 Heheh :) 21:54:37 jflory7: to anwer your question of *when* -- IMHO as soon as possible 21:54:43 so we can get the content flowing 21:55:10 i expect it to be a ramp up effect 21:55:12 IMHO ? 21:55:20 in my honest opinion 21:55:22 ryanlerch: Did we want to wait for post-F23 for SSL to work properly for the site? 21:55:27 keekri: ^ :) 21:55:35 ryanlerch: I just tried and wasn't able to SSH in, so we will need croberts to fix this 21:55:42 Or maybe look at appealing the freeze? 21:55:46 oh. *newbie problems :(* 21:55:56 stickster: i think puiterwijk has access to it too 21:56:25 To what do I have access? 21:56:43 jflory7: i dont think magazine has https either tbh 21:56:48 puiterwijk: communityblog.fp.o 21:56:50 Uh-oh, we woke the android! 21:56:54 Oh commblog. Yes I do have access 21:56:58 ryanlerch: Yeah, it doesn't. 21:56:58 One second 21:57:04 and i only had to say his name once 21:57:15 So on that note probably something we could add after launch? 21:57:15 not the mythical 3 times 21:57:22 jflory7: I would think so 21:57:30 Sounds good to me. 21:57:31 jflory7: note that fedora magazine is different 21:57:36 #info https == not critical pre-F23 21:57:49 For magazine it's not needed because that's a separate domain. 21:57:55 Because comblog is under fedoraproject.org, you need https 21:58:00 puiterwijk ah 21:58:04 Ooh. 21:58:20 The problem is taht we have HSTS for *.fedoraproject.org, requiring users' browsers to use HTTPS 21:58:31 We are running out of time, I guess I just wanted to establish what, if anything, is needed from folks here, and that people are OK with discussing commblog on marketing@ list -- I surely am, let's keep things together where we have lots of eyeballs 21:58:57 If you need any help or anything done for it, please ping me 21:59:11 okies -- to #fedora-mktg :) 21:59:14 stickster: +1 21:59:25 would I be able to slip in a pitch, briefly? 21:59:28 jzb: Thanks for the suggestion, gravity++ 21:59:30 jzb: GO! 21:59:37 stickster: I think it would probably make the most sense with regards to the Magazine also being a marketing thing 21:59:58 short version: Would like to write up a version of my "Marketing is not a spectator sport" talk for Magazine to encourage people to promote F23 22:00:02 #agreed keep commblog discussions (material, etc.) on marketing@ with FMag for now, we can help 22:00:02 to run Monday 22:00:11 (from Flock, sorry) 22:00:15 jzb++ 22:00:15 jflory7: Karma for jzb changed to 1 (for the f23 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 22:00:22 I thought that was an *awesome* talk 22:00:28 I liked it too 22:00:29 jflory7: thanks! 22:00:41 (that was in my "Irish Spring" accent" 22:00:42 ) 22:01:00 :) 22:01:08 any objections? 22:01:23 I think it was an excellent talk that would have good publication value 22:02:01 +1 from me! 22:02:06 I think this is a talk that has enough appeal outside core community (here's something you can do for open source) that it makes sense to me too +1 22:02:24 It's not quite as esoteric as e.g. test days, or WG minutes 22:02:25 OK, will have it in shortly 22:02:29 right 22:02:36 everybody can play 22:02:46 thanks all 22:02:49 #agreed marketing post from jzb is good to go 22:03:00 #action jzb get draft in for a Monday publication pre-F23 22:03:41 jzb: I'm going to be out of touch this weekend, so might not be able to edit. However, I also think you're one of those experienced folks who can Just Do It. 22:03:48 stickster: :-) 22:04:02 stickster: I never object to a second pair of eyes, but I am also OK working without a net. 22:04:06 * stickster notes for the onlookers, jzb has a long CV of journalism/writing 22:04:11 go4it! 22:04:18 And with that, I need to run, friends 22:04:28 stickster: thanks for running the meets 22:04:33 * jzb also prepares to run 22:04:34 Does someone want to take over an open floor, or just move to #fedora-mktg? 22:04:36 well, walk 22:04:37 jzb: happy to do a featured image for this too, if you have any ideas 22:04:47 stickster: jzb: Bye guys! 22:04:48 I know we're tight on time, but I also wanted to ask for thoughts about the Community Blog article and whether it should be any longer. 22:04:49 ryanlerch: I'll try to think of something 22:04:57 ryanlerch: A shot of a crowd at a World Series game :-) 22:04:59 timely! 22:05:01 ryanlerch: visual things ... I'm not so good at. 22:05:26 jzb: if i'm not online, just open a ticket in the design team queue and assign to me :) 22:05:41 ryanlerch: ack 22:05:42 with ideas :) 22:05:53 damn 22:06:02 otherwise you might just get a kangaroo or something 22:06:10 haha 22:06:20 ryanlerch: a kangaroo PLAYING BASEBALL 22:06:44 keekri: bee2502: i live in Australia, hence the kangaroo joke :) 22:06:54 OK, on to #fedora-mktg if you have further questions/input!
