And we still have some more time to get that record up even higher. 22:07:02 <jflory7> I take it that's the transition to pitches? :) 22:07:29 <stickster> jflory7: Actually, I want to hit schedule for next week first 22:07:30 <stickster> #topic Schedule for next week 22:07:40 <stickster> #info Tuesday: Wayland testing 22:08:31 <stickster> #info Wednesday: systemd next-part 22:08:54 <stickster> I believe that's on unit dependencies and ordering. I don't expect Bryan S to help here, so it will need someone to pick it up 22:09:27 <stickster> cydrobolt: We have a systemd article you've been working on -- which is about template unit files 22:09:56 <stickster> But I think you need more time.

Probably was going to draft it this weekend anyways. 22:40:03 <jflory7> Heheh. 22:40:08 <stickster> jflory7: Boom! 22:40:25 <stickster> #agreed Picard says make it so 22:40:28 <jflory7> #action jflory7 draft Picard article for intended publication date of November 30 22:40:30 <decause> lolz 22:40:37 <decause> picard++ 22:40:58 <stickster> Guys, talk amongst yourself for a second 22:41:04 <stickster> I need to see what my dog's whining abuot upstairs 22:41:26 <jflory7> So I think that wraps up all the pitches. 22:42:24 <stickster> back 22:42:31 <jflory7> I actually am not sure what other things we have to cover as far as posts go 22:42:34 <stickster> #topic Drafts 22:42:44 <jflory7> Just the systemd stuff on deck. 22:42:53 <stickster> Really, there's not much to cover here -- we need to get the above stories ready (see schedule topic earlier) 22:43:00 * jflory7 nods 22:43:11 <stickster> I'm a bit concerned about lining up stuff for Thanksgiving week but without more authors I don't know what we can do there, really 22:43:29 <jflory7> I want to have that interview ready ASAP, with the lasers... just depends on the timeliness of my interview subject. :) 22:43:40 <jflory7> I'm going to try to work towards first week of December 22:43:48 <jflory7> But I can't make a solid promise on that one 22:44:29 <decause> stickster: can we "recycle" any content? Do a "greatest hits" or something that doesn't require us to do any greenfield? 22:44:35 <decause> "re-runs" 22:44:42 <jflory7> I'm sure I'll also come up with another idea or two the next week. If I have something that comes to me, I'll just try to draft it up and have it ready for that December week 22:44:48 <stickster> decause: That's a very good idea, just need to find something useful 22:44:59 <jflory7> decause++ 22:45:07 <decause> stickster: we /are/ going to have a bunch of election interviews 22:45:11 <decause> stickster: actually 22:45:16 <decause> one of the new commops members 22:45:17 <stickster> Those will be on commblog, though, correct? 22:45:20 <decause> cprofitt 22:45:34 <decause> stickster: yeah, those will be, was just thinking out loud 22:45:38 <decause> but I got another idea 22:45:46 <decause> it's not actually my idea, it was cprofitt 22:45:47 <decause> but 22:46:09 <decause> He's doing a "Community Appreciation" series of posts on his personal blog right now 22:46:17 <decause> and since it is Thanksgiving 22:46:37 <decause> we could be "thankful" and do some profiles of people in the community, or projects we are thankful for 22:46:49 <decause> we could ask people to send us thank yous, and then we publish them? 22:47:20 <decause> ? 22:47:47 <stickster> decause: All those things do not solve the "not enough people" problem though. 22:48:14 <stickster> decause: But I like the idea of an article that thanks our community -- maybe point to a wiki page where people can put in "Thank you" thoughts 22:48:15 <decause> stickster: if we have a template, and we allow people to respond via email, then we can just copy/paste the best 10 or so into an article? 22:48:39 <stickster> decause: That would also make it easy -- much better 22:48:55 <decause> we could use a hastag even ;) 22:48:58 <decause> embed the tweets 22:48:58 <stickster> decause: Can I put you in charge of that? 22:49:02 <decause> talk to bkp about it 22:49:07 <linuxmodder> +1 for thank you article / wiki redirect 22:49:22 <decause> stickster: yeah 22:49:41 <decause> #action decause reach out to bkp about "thankful" series during t-giving week 22:49:43 * jflory7 could also lend a hand with this especially, will have a lot more time while classes are winding down 22:50:54 <jflory7> Anyways, sounds like an agreement to me. 22:51:04 <stickster> decause: So if we curate a set of tweets from a hashtag... that sounds awesome 22:51:17 <decause> wouldn't say embed the whole stream, jsut announce a hastag, and then cherrypick some choice ones 22:51:33 <decause> nod nod nod 22:51:37 <decause> I will talk to bkp about it 22:51:40 <stickster> decause: Right -- exactly. I dread the "auto-pull" thing because... well, you never know. 22:52:03 <decause> stickster: on no way, the troll potential is too high 22:52:06 <decause> :P 22:52:21 <stickster> "I used to believe in the goodness of man 22:52:21 <stickster> But not anymore since I became one of them 22:52:24 <stickster> " 22:52:31 <decause> nod nod nod 22:53:05 <stickster> #action decause to talk to bkp about a "thankful" tweet based post for next week 22:53:29 <stickster> decause: I would target this for Thursday specifically -- can you write a brief 2-3 sentence intro for it? We now can schedule posts properly thanks to Patrick 22:53:38 <jflory7> puiterwijk++ 22:53:44 <stickster> Oh, don't wake the robot!!! 22:53:58 * puiterwijk wonders what I did to earn cookies this time 22:53:59 <decause> stickster: nod nod, assign action plz 22:54:08 <jflory7> Hahah! 22:54:09 <puiterwijk> But, thanks :) 22:54:37 <stickster> #action decause start the article now, draft 2-3 sentence intro into which he can insert tweets from bkp and set to schedule/auto-publish 22:54:49 <stickster> #action decause ping stickster tomorrow morning to tidy up any further details 22:55:02 <jflory7> Awesome awesome 22:55:04 <decause> stickster: thanks 22:55:05 <stickster> #topic Open floor 22:55:15 <stickster> OK, < 5 min -- anything else? 22:55:15 <jflory7> I have only one thing to add 22:55:17 <stickster> go! 22:55:17 <decause> #action jflory help keep this on the decause/commops radar 22:55:25 <decause> :) 22:55:41 <stickster> jflory7: Here's my ex-FPL official cattle prod, please bring it back in working order 22:56:00 <jflory7> Sadly, I may not be able to make the meetings from January - May, with the exception of a handful. 22:56:09 <stickster> O noez 22:56:13 <jflory7> stickster: Hahah - I will take it with responsibility! 22:56:21 <jflory7> Yeah. :( 22:56:23 <stickster> jflory7: If we need to reschedule to get you, we just may do that 22:56:31 <linuxmodder> if they stay at / close to this time I can take over jflory7 in that interim 22:56:44 <stickster> Is it a case where a morning may work for you whereas evening doesn't? 22:57:33 <jflory7> Okay, as far as my hours will go, I'll generally be fairly flexible. Monday mornings are looking good for me -- let me take a second look at my schedule 22:57:59 <decause> stickster: quick question: for the thankful series, are we extending it to upstream projects too? I know we're Fedora magazine, but the more love/thanks we can show to our Friends, the wider this will spread, IMHO 22:58:13 <jflory7> Actually, Tuesday or Thursday mornings after 9am US EST would work well for me 22:58:23 <stickster> jflory7: With the no-DST right now, if we do a morning 9:00am EST (just an example) we can easily get ryanlerch here too 22:58:37 <jflory7> mornings++ 22:58:41 <decause> ryanlerch being here would be a big bonus, yeah 22:58:54 <stickster> jflory7: Let's discuss on list and see if we can set up a new time. I'll figure out where I can carve out morning tiem. 22:59:00 <decause> Tuesdays are my busy meeting days in the morning 22:59:04 <decause> but I can adjust likely 22:59:10 <stickster> #action jflory7 start thread on marketing@ to talk about adjusting meeting time 22:59:12 <decause> whenisgood.net poll incoming :) 22:59:13 <stickster> jflory7: ^ cool? 22:59:16 <jflory7> stickster: Yeah, sounds good.
