Here's the note I had: 16:16:43 In December, we began discussing the idea of a CommOps vFAD but were going to shelf until we grew some more and after the summer began. Now that we're getting into June, we began discussing this at our last meeting. A wiki page template was started for our vFAD. The next steps should be deciding the objectives and what we wish to accomplish for the CommOps vFAD. 16:17:11 The next step is really plotting out what goals and objectives we want to accomplish during this vFAD. 16:17:39 Sounds good :) 16:17:49 I think ticket cleanup would be a good one, for starters, to revisit some older topics that may have fallen a bit behind. On-boarding also seems like another major objective to me. 16:17:53 And maybe have a badge for this as well ;) 16:18:00 A badge would be nice :) 16:18:39 But other than on-boarding and tackling tickets, anyone else have ideas for what we could do to make our vFAD as productive as possible? 16:18:47 jflory7: Onboarding is definitely something we need to work through 16:18:52 jflory7: Can we look back on previously closed tickets to get some inspiration? 16:18:55 maybe some wiki organization and clean up 16:19:06 I think there are out dated things and it could be organized moar better 16:19:14 There's some guidelines on coming up with these types of goals on the wiki, but I feel like these two items mentioned previously are a lot bigger than they sound. 16:19:17 skamath: Agreed. 16:19:19 The wiki is a mess right now, yes. 16:19:20 do we have a date yet for vFAD ? 16:19:27 also if the commops pagure isn't orgnanized 16:19:30 dhanesh95: You mean for past actions? Sure, I see no problem with that. :) 16:19:49 meskarune: Yeah, cleanup would be a big item on my list. Curious, do you have any ideas off the top of your head about how we could improve organization? 16:20:04 you guys seem to have lots of git repos and etherpads without a list of where they all are and what projects they go to :P 16:20:09 jflory7: Past actions and also tickets similar to #10 which were shelved 16:20:28 bee2502: Not yet. The FAD guidelines say to propose a date after working on the objectives and goals, although it's a little bit different for us since this is a virtual event and not an in-person one. 16:20:35 meskarune: Yeah, that is a good point 16:20:37 jflory7: I would say take advantage of categories more and tags 16:20:57 jflory7: If you'd look at the Join page, it's overflowing with FAS Usernames. Maybe we should do something like the Status update that happens every month in infra. 16:20:59 #idea CommOps-related git repos and Etherpads could be organized more effectively for keeping tabs on information from IRC discussions, hack sessions, and meeting discussions 16:21:05 so people can find things easier and know if soemthing is outdated or needs work 16:21:19 #idea Wiki could take better advantage of categorization of pages 16:21:44 skamath: Hmmm, that's not a bad idea either, I think. To make sure everyone's interests are still engaged. 16:22:01 jflory7: Yes. It'll keep the wiki cleaner :) 16:22:11 also using the talk pages on the wiki to discuss stuff and have a sort of record 16:22:13 Or lets say, well gardened ;) 16:22:13 #idea Similar to the Infra team, have a monthly check-in for existing members of CommOps to see if they are still interested in contributing (see: CommOps wiki page members) 16:22:32 #idea Talk pages on wiki can be useful asynchronous discussion and having a record of logged actions for important pages 16:22:56 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CommOps#Interest_Areas 16:23:04 These are all awesome ideas and suggestions to get some brainstorming going on the vFAD :) 16:23:54 I think that I could try tackling writing the objectives for the vFAD for the wiki page, share with the list, get feedback, and then we could move closer to a date selection. 16:24:04 The date selection is one where we would want decause_otg to advise on 16:24:07 jflory7: +1 16:24:23 For now, though, I think we have some good material to work off for this ticket. 16:24:25 * skamath can help with that . +1 16:24:58 #action jflory7 Write a first draft of objectives / goals for the vFAD on wiki page, share with commops, get feedback, look at finding open dates (cc: decause) 16:25:03 Sound good? 16:25:10 +1 16:25:13 +1 16:25:14 +1 16:25:15 +1 16:25:26 Ticket #10, going once... 16:25:27 +1 16:25:32 Going twice... 16:25:41 Going thrice... 16:25:44 Sold! 16:25:47 #info === Tickets #34, 49, 69 === 16:25:52 #info #39: "[Onboarding Series] [MASTER TICKET] Creating sub-project on-boarding badge series" 16:25:57 #info #49: "[Onboarding Series] Infrastructure" 16:26:03 #info #69: "Fedora Modularity onboarding" 16:26:09 #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-commops/ticket/34 16:26:11 #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-commops/ticket/49 16:26:12 #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-commops/ticket/69 16:26:17 These tickets have been around for a while, heh 16:26:18 #info CommOps Team Onboarding Steps > Badges Team Missing Badges > Hubs Team Badges Tracks and Widgets 16:26:21 Yeah, they have been. 16:26:48 So, the next step for now will be skamath filing a ticket in the Badges Trac for a CommOps on-boarding series (i.e. the actual badge). 16:26:58 * skamath nods 16:27:02 I think we already have a lot of the background context discussed on all of these tickets in the big picture 16:27:14 nod nod 16:27:21 So I believe it's ready to move onto pitching the badges, getting the art assets, and writing the rule files for the badges 16:27:36 Art assets is going to be the biggest problem 16:27:46 Many meetings ago, we discussed wanting to have CommOps be first so as to do a first run and get a feel for how ours went before tackling other sub-projects 16:27:59 So for that reason, I think CommOps will be the best one to make a badge proposal for first. 16:28:12 sounds like a plan 16:28:15 Art assets might take a little bit of time, but I think they're doable. 16:28:43 I think one big thing we can probably help out with is the rules files for the badges, as that requires a decent understanding of fedmsg, datagrepper, and knowing what is an expensive or inexpensive calculation. 16:29:04 decause_otg was also bootstrapped with pushing badges recently, so he might be able to assist us in that regard. 16:29:14 * skamath has been working with datagrepper for quite a while now 16:29:32 Then that's definitely somewhere you might be able to help contribute with for these tickets :) 16:29:34 I think linuxmodder mentioned something about that too 16:29:47 Oh, yeah, I kind of have a vague recollection too 16:29:55 * dhanesh95 would like to get a hold of datagrepper and fedmsg data 16:30:18 dhanesh95: You should check out #fedora-fedmsg if you haven't yet to get a feel for just how much data is passing through fedmsg at any given time. :D 16:30:23 Although be warned, it is super noisy. 16:30:40 * skamath just quit that channel for good :P 16:30:44 jflory7: Thanks! 16:30:50 So I think skamath, once you file a ticket for the on-boarding series, dropping a note in the IRC channel or mailing list would be a good idea 16:30:58 jflory7: Roger that. 16:31:07 So then we can try to have some discussion about it at a hack session, moving forward on how we can help the Design Team on it, and so on 16:31:21 Great! 16:31:27 So I think for now, this should cover it: 16:31:47 Sounds good :) 16:32:10 #agreed skamath will file a ticket for the CommOps on-boarding badge in the Badges Trac, will drop a line in IRC / mailing list about ticket, we will revisit then to work on how we can help the Design Team move forward on this (Badge YAML, sysadmin side, maybe artwork too depending) 16:32:12 Sound good? 16:32:16 +1 16:32:27 +1 16:32:47 Yes, thank you :) 16:32:50 ++1 16:33:10 Ticket #34 and related, going once... 16:33:20 Going twice... 16:33:25 Going thrice... 16:33:30 #info === Ticket #71 === 16:33:36 #info "Centralizing Ambassadors / Events resources and utilities" 16:33:40 #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-commops/ticket/71 16:33:44 Feedback was asked for on the Design Team, and a few replies were given back this morning. Some efforts were already started to centralize the resources, but the Design Team has a strong preference on Ambassadors consulting with Design Team members first before printing (as compared to self-producing). This helps ensure the quality of the final product and that it properly represents the Fedora brand. Maybe an alternative to original problem in 16:33:44 the ticket is making a more clear and guided process for what Ambassadors should do to request design assets? 16:33:48 #link https://pagure.io/designassets/tree/master 16:34:05 I haven't had a chance to read the full emails but I saw the comment on the ticket for this one 16:34:27 I think the feedback we're getting is super good to have because it seems like maybe we approached this ticket the wrong way based on the Design Team's workflow 16:34:44 oh, that is good info to have 16:34:53 To me, it seems like they have a strong preference for being contacted ahead of time for an event or getting art assets together by Ambassadors or anyone else requesting artwork 16:35:10 yeah, I think having good documentation on the process ambasadors should follow is a good idea 16:35:22 So maybe we need to help make the process for Ambassadors more clear by having a "I'm an Ambassador and I need art assets! What do I do now?" sort of thing. 16:35:25 * jflory7 nods 16:35:30 meskarune: Exactly. 16:35:35 and maybe the design team can work on centralizing all of their resources 16:35:46 meskarune: Isn't it already? 16:35:53 Seems like mleonova has done some awesome work on it so far. :) 16:36:01 not sure if it's finished or a work in progress still. 16:36:06 I think there are somethings spread out into git repos and tickets skamath 16:36:17 * skamath nods 16:36:46 Yeah, there probably are a few more things scattered around. Maybe we could also see if there's a way that other contributors could help with this (i.e. defining a process for someone to "add" something to the repo if it lives somewhere else). 16:36:50 Like contributing guidelines, per say 16:37:04 yeah 16:37:13 jflory7: That leads us to indexing, as we discussed in the last meeting 16:37:21 jflory7, they can do pull requests to the designassets repo 16:37:35 \o mizmo 16:37:36 #idea Design Team strongly prefers being contacted ahead of time by Ambassadors or others for artwork assets - maybe better aim is to help define the process better for Ambassadors for how to get artwork and printed / final products for events 16:38:11 mizmo: Hi! Yeah, definitely. Do you think it would be helpful to have any kind of guidelines or contributing rules for someone, say an Ambassador, to follow if they had a resource they found that was not in the repository? 16:38:19 I haven't looked too closely yet if something like that already exists. 16:38:55 jflory7, these are the standard fedora design guidelines for anything submitted to us - is that kind of what you were thining? https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/wiki/GeneralGuidelines 16:39:03 * jflory7 reads 16:39:15 Yes, perfect. 16:39:19 #link https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/wiki/GeneralGuidelines 16:39:56 we also have the ones that are in the repo currently because they have been checked and vetted for quality and adherence to those and the logo usage guidelines 16:40:18 * jflory7 nods 16:40:21 we didn't include everything that's out there beacuse not all of it is the same level of quality and/or it was too specific to a given event to be reusable 16:41:39 mizmo: From your eyes, is there anything that you think we could help the Design Team out with for this? Do you think improved communication to Ambassadors about how to request and use the existing tools for artwork requests or print requests is all? 16:42:09 i dont know where it'd live, if in the design team or in ambassadors 16:42:23 i feel like if the docs/comms lived with ambassadors maybe it'd be more likely to be followed? 16:42:36 That's what I was thinking too 16:42:42 part of the workflow involves interacting with vendors too - and that's not really design team's wheelhouse but we need to know about it. and different ambassadors seem toa pproach that differently 16:42:50 so it might be nice for the ambassadors to have more organization around that 16:42:59 for example, a list of vendors we've used before and had good luck with by region 16:43:15 that would make life way easier for design team bc right now the vendors we have to work with are all over the place 16:43:30 #idea Part of workflow involves vendor interaction (not really a Design Team responsibility), but Design Team should be in the loop. 16:43:36 it might be nice for ambassadors to have regional experts on ordering swag too 16:43:49 #idea Different Ambassadors / regions approach this differently - more organization around that would be useful and helpful 16:44:17 #idea Centralizing the vendors that Ambassadors use would also be extremely helpful for the Design Team and help make their life easier 16:44:22 if you go in the design team ticket queue and make a swag request, the ticket template asks you pretty much everything we need. we run into issues tho when people dont fill in all the details 16:44:43 offtopic, I have to leave (work lunch with colleagues), was interesting listening to you. I'll be back on one of the next meetings. bye 16:45:03 augenauf: Thanks for coming :) 16:45:08 mizmo: I think now the Ambassadors will have that, a specific person handling those kinds of things. There are logisticians in all regions now that would be useful to keep in the loop for this (this just happened not too long ago). 16:45:24 one thing that worries us on design team 16:45:30 augenauf++ Thanks for coming by! Feel free to come back later in #fedora-commops or introduce yourself on the mailing list too :) 16:45:30 jflory7: Karma for augenauf changed to 1 (for the f23 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 16:45:37 there are some ppl we have regular contacts with so we trust them when we file tickets for them 16:45:57 but sometimes people will file tickets for a random swag idea they have, but they have no funding or it seems no approval from ambassadors to produce them, and we dont know what to do in design 16:46:19 #idea Design Team Trac tickets have templates for filling out, but not all fields are always filled - this slows down the process and makes it harder for the Design Team to do their work 16:46:47 so having some kind of swag experts identified for ambassadors would be good, if they could be the point of contact for when these odd tickets come through 16:47:03 #idea Sometimes an Ambassador will file a ticket for a random swag idea (without funding or prior discussion by others in region), so it is a difficult situation to resolve for the Design Team 16:47:35 mizmo: I think incorporating the new Logisticians into this will be something that should help take a lot of the extra figuring out for some of these requests off of the Design Team. 16:47:43 yes! im hoping so! 16:47:45 That's something we can definitely take advantage of, I think 16:47:52 mizmo: All of this feedback is *awesome* 16:48:04 This is exactly what I think we needed to figure out how we can best help the Design Team on this :) 16:48:12 mizmo++ 16:48:33 \o/ 16:48:40 So I think the next steps for CommOps will be to begin putting together some kind of plan / strategy for getting this information out to the Ambassadors. 16:49:20 Be it a wiki page of information, a Community Blog post highlighting where to find it, or anywhere else we want to use, I think this is where our discussion should lead to next. 16:49:33 jflory7: Agreed 16:49:34 +1 16:50:01 I think for now, it would be best to fire up a mailing list thread on this to get feedback and ideas from the rest of CommOps on putting together something. I think a wiki page might be the best place to start. 16:50:14 I'm always reluctant to say wiki for important information, but I can't think of where else to put it in this case... 16:50:30 jflory7: Wiki is often forgotten :( 16:50:33 We'll just have to make sure it is properly socialized with the rest of the Ambassador resources once it's ready 16:50:57 Agreed, that's my concern. I wouldn't want to spend the time on it now in 2016 only for us to come back to the same place in 2018, or something similar. 16:51:02 Fortunately, we have time to discuss this one 16:51:15 16:51:16 I'll be sure to post to the list to get some discussion and thoughts from this one 16:51:22 you guys should just have monthly clean ups to keep on top of the trac and wiki 16:51:27 or every 2 months or something 16:51:37 so you don't have to do major cleanups 16:51:58 jflory7: The best thing to do is make wiki pages and index them in Pagure - maybe under the CommOps repo (if there is one?) 16:51:59 #action jflory7 Post to the CommOps mailing list about Ticket #71 about creating the Ambassador guidelines for artwork assets based on m izmo's feedback 16:53:17 meskarune: The wiki is a bit bigger of a monster than something that could be cleaned up in even a weekend, I think... it's an been an issue for many years in the project as far as I can tell. Devising some kind of strategy for how we could do long-term cleaning up on the wiki would be a good idea. Our Trac, however, is much more manageable in terms of something we could focus on every couple of months to avoid the major cleanup. 16:53:39 I think our Trac is becoming a little bit heavy in tickets, so going back and knocking out some of these on a semi-regular basis would be a very good idea I think 16:53:59 skamath: There is a CommOps team - I think just decause_otg has permissions there as far as I know. 16:54:08 We've never used it before yet. 16:54:49 #link https://pagure.io/group/CommOps 16:55:00 Anyhow, I'm feeling like we have a lot of information for this ticket now and we have some material to work on and get back to the Design Team and Ambassadors. I think we're good to move on. 16:55:03 Found it. 16:55:08 Anyone else have anything they want to add on to this ticket? 16:55:10 skamath++ 16:55:18 Ticket #71, going once... 16:55:28 Going twice... 16:55:33 Going thrice... 16:55:38 And now, speaking of wiki... 16:55:42 #topic Wiki Gardening 16:55:47 #action commops New members, make sure you add your timezone / interests on CommOps wiki [ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CommOps ] 16:55:59 Any specific pages anyone wants to point out or think needs addressing? 16:56:15 nfm 16:56:57 The interest areas page, as I mentioned earlier/ 16:57:00 I don't have anything pressing from my side either. 16:57:02 Right. 16:57:05 Apart from that, nothing. 16:57:17 I think there is some work on the PyCon 2016 page, but decause_otg is aware of and/or already on it. 16:57:26 nod nod 16:57:35 jflory7: oh ok cool 16:57:51 I think we can move on to the Community Blog next then, if there's not any specific pages we have to mention now. 16:58:02 * skamath goes to get popcorn 16:58:28 meskarune: If you do have ideas on ways we could approach the wiki cleanup in the big picture, though, that's definitely something that I think has not yet been approached. :) 16:58:34 #topic Community Blog 16:58:41 #info How This Works: There is a quick blast of information about what was published in the past week with some metrics, followed by posts that are being drafted. After the information blast, the floor is opened for any Community Blog-related discussion. Here we go! 16:58:51 #info === This Week in CommBlog === 16:58:56 #info (1) "Fedora CommBlog Keeps it 100" 16:59:00 #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/commblog-keeps-100/ 16:59:05 #info Total Views (June 2 - June 7): 53 16:59:09 #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=stats&view=post&post=1582 16:59:14 #info (2) "Fedora Cloud FAD 2016" 16:59:19 #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-cloud-fad-2016/ 16:59:23 #info Total Views (June 4 - June 7): 39 16:59:28 #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=stats&view=post&post=1618 16:59:33 #info (3) "OSCON 2016 Expo Hall Booth Report" 16:59:38 #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/oscon-2016-expo-hall-booth-report/ 16:59:42 #info Total Views (June 6 - June 7): 40 16:59:47 #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=stats&view=post&post=1558 16:59:53 #info (4) "Fedora Design Team lead Máirín Duffy wins O’Reilly Open Source Award" 16:59:58 #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design-team-lead-mairin-duffy-wins-oreilly-open-source-award/ 17:00:03 #info Total Views (June 6 - June 7): 71 17:00:06 I think the biggest thing with wiki stuff is removing redundancy so there is less to maintain, using categories and tagging things as stub, outdated, etc so other can find and fix them and having good titles/table of contents 17:00:07 #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=stats&view=post&post=1615 17:00:16 kk I have to go \o 17:00:25 meskarune: Okay, thanks for coming by!

Not sure if deliberate or just that they didn't find it worth the effort. Who knows. :P 17:02:28 hah, Permissions ;) 17:02:41 I know puiterwijk has been working on Basset like mad, so perhaps it is something that is already taken care of. Not quite sure. :) 17:02:53 basset++ 17:03:12 * decause_otg comes up for air 17:03:20 Yeah, so glad that we made it so people who first register can't publish by default... otherwise we would have had a bunch of embarrassing cleanup to do about Netflix support hotlines on the CommBlog... 17:03:21 jflory7: anything I can answer directly? 17:03:31 decause_otg: Hold on, yes, I think 17:03:34 * jflory7 scrolls back really fast 17:03:55 jflory7: I haven't added wordpress to Basset yet. That's still waiting on a major change I'm working o nright now 17:04:17 wow, that's redic 17:04:20 puiterwijk++ 17:04:24 decause_otg: Ah, there were some things on the centralization of Ambassador resources, but that might take longer than you have the time for. I think there is something you can give a 101 on really fast, though. 17:04:26 puiterwijk++ 17:04:32 jflory7: yes 17:04:37 I saw the thread 17:04:40 puiterwijk: No worries - they don't have the permissions to post, so it's under control on both the Magazine and CommBlog for the time being :) 17:04:45 so, my read on this: 17:04:55 decause_otg: m izmo came by and added a *lot* of feedback jsut a bit ago 17:05:17 we don't want people *creating* resources, so much as we want to use the resources we've created and make them available 17:05:28 printing is a non-trivial thing, believe it or not 17:05:41 her and gnokii's feedback was spot on, it is easy to mess up the colors or sizes 17:05:45 and each job is custom 17:05:51 * jflory7 nods 17:06:17 I think that *digital* resources (icons, banners, fedoramagazine-images) would be easier to share across channels 17:06:47 #topic Tickets - Ticket #71 (revisiting temporarily) 17:06:49 hu 17:07:03 I think indexing what already exists is more of what you folks are asking for 17:07:08 #info Printing is a non-trivial thing, it's easy to mess up colors or sizes 17:07:25 decause_otg: It does, mleonova tackled it earlier on, there's a repo with many different things already :) 17:07:39 jflory7: well good 17:07:40 :) 17:07:45 on pagure? 17:07:48 #idea Digital resources (icons, banners, fedoramagazine-images, etc.) would be easier to share across channels 17:07:53 decause_otg: Yeah! I'll grab the link. 17:07:57 solid 17:08:00 #link https://pagure.io/designassets/tree/master 17:08:04 great 17:08:05 mleonova++ 17:08:17 decause_otg: One more thing to get your thoughts on, specifically about this week 17:08:21 kk 17:08:26 #topic Release Schedule 17:08:30 #link https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-24/f-24-key-tasks.html 17:08:31 yeah, the announce 17:08:33 decause_otg: Yep 17:08:42 Anything we should be aware of or can help out with on this one? 17:08:48 #chair decause_otg 17:08:48 Current chairs: bee2502 decause_otg devyani7 dhanesh95 jflory7 jflory7_ meskarune skamath 17:08:51 mattdm is here in Rollywood, and we've got the start of a narrative 17:09:22 we've got a fork of the wiki page, and bkp is involved in the construction, hopefully in the same place 17:09:51 * skamath will be right back 17:10:00 when is the deadline? 17:10:05 next friday? 17:10:13 decause_otg: If I recall, there was a want for it by this Friday 17:10:17 To be in time for Tuesday 17:10:24 But I don't have a source on that on-hand 17:10:25 yeah, /me is still catching up on pycon-calendar 17:10:29 that makes sense 17:10:35 so, by Friday, we need our working draft 17:10:43 I think that's the safest bet. 17:10:46 which makes GA announce a top-prio for decause this week 17:10:54 Gives us the weekend + Monday to polish and get ready for The Big Day 17:11:08 and since I will be going to SELF, that means by Thursday 17:11:37 * jflory7 nods 17:11:38 #action decause ship "final" version for review by EoB thursday of F24 GA Release Announcement 17:11:55 decause_otg: With that in mind... do we want to schedule a hack session this week? Or will it be a little too hectic for that? 17:11:56 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-mktg 17:12:03 ! 17:12:11 jflory7: no, hackession on thursday probably makes sense 17:12:13 or wednesday 17:12:17 * jflory7 nods 17:12:21 Wednesday works well for me 17:12:23 gnokii: you can jump in whenever :) 17:12:32 jflory7: aright, let's schedule wednesday then 17:12:46 jflory7: after mktg meeting, where we'll hopefully pick up a few extra folks 17:12:55 Okay, so 22:00 UTC? 17:13:00 we need WG input by wednesday though, so we should ping the lists today EoB 17:13:08 jflory7: wfm 17:13:23 just to add, a repo with source doesnt solve a problem it creates one, the ambassdors dont see the difference between 90dpi or 300dpi what would be needed for printing 17:13:25 One of these days, we'll have to schedule one early in our mornings for the IST folks. ;) 17:13:46 so if they run with such a pic to the printer it will be a mess what comes out 17:13:47 gnokii: we want to be clear about that, yes 17:14:00 this would be more about digital resources than printed ones 17:14:01 gnokii: The solution we discussed earlier was having more clear documentation for how Ambassadors should go about requesting art assets and interacting with the Design Team. 17:14:26 We were hoping to improve the communication of the process and work with regional Logisticians on this information so everyone is all on the same page 17:14:30 gnokii: I know the pain personally, and I know how much work goes into it. We don't want people just printing things willy-nilly 17:14:38 I think the changes we made last year to the trac to fill out are clear but still they dont provide 17:15:05 this is why we wanted to talk to the design team 17:15:10 you folks know best about the process/challenges 17:15:17 One example m izmo used earlier was of when a lone Ambassador files a ticket but doesn't seem to have funding or support from their region - the Logisticians would make a good point of contact for these instances. As for the information in the Trac, we can communicate more clearly that the information is required and not optional. 17:15:33 the challenge is they mostly dont search the cooperation 17:15:55 gnokii: I think if we integrate the new leadership for each region, we can help make the cooperation more of a foundational part of the process. 17:16:20 gnokii++ 17:16:35 gnokii: All of this feedback is super useful and it's great having this input from the Design Team. 17:16:43 gnokii++ 17:17:03 decause_otg: I'll aim for putting a hack session on the calendar for Wednesday, 22:00 UTC. 17:17:08 With that... 17:17:08 I remember giving him a cookie for Fedora A-Z svg :) 17:17:22 #topic Open Floor 17:17:25 well lets say this this ¨an"Ambassador came last year at flock with this and I explained him for nearly two hours that it is problematic and 4 hrs later he came again 17:18:12 Hmmm. At that point, I think the best advice would be to have the Ambassador consult with other members of his region before formulating the proposal and make sure he has the support and funding of the region. 17:18:59 Making sure that is possible to produce (Logistician), it fits in with the overall objective of promoting Fedora and free and open source software (Storyteller), and ensuring the funds are available for the region to produce the items (Treasurer) 17:19:12 At least, that's how I'm envisioning it in my eyes at the moment. 17:19:24 yeah this ambassador doesnt participate that much in his region, I think the centralized production in EMEA works very well 17:19:47 timecheck: +20 mins 17:19:50 :P 17:19:55 I think that's something we could check out too to get an idea of EMEA handles production, as an example for other regions. 17:19:58 we should continue the convo in #fedora-commops 17:20:04 decause_otg: We're officially an extra 30 minutes now. :) 17:20:11 We technically have another 10 minutes. 17:20:13 decause_otg: Meeting is 90 minutes now :0 17:20:16 * :) 17:20:16 orly! Great! 17:20:20 commops++ 17:20:23 But we should probably aim to wrap up. I think skamath has something he wanted to talk about! 17:20:27 wasn't sure if that passed or not :P 17:20:29 jflory we tried now second year to do that in APAC to it worked for dvd ut not for swag so far 17:20:36 * decause_otg is excited to hear more from skamath also 17:20:51 * skamath waits 17:21:10 gnokii: Hopefully this is something we can help alleviate for both Design and the Ambassadors. We'll get back to the Design Team with some feedback about an Ambassadors guide soon. :) 17:21:14 skamath: Take the floor! 17:21:17 * jflory7 hands over the baton 17:21:37 Okay, So I have been working on this stats-tool for a while with bee2502 and decause guiding me all along. 17:21:49 Thought I'll shar the tool as it is pert of Commops 17:21:50 jflory that depends a bit on second credit card for APAC 17:21:51 *shre 17:22:02 #info === skamath: summer-coding stats tool === 17:22:19 skamath's keyboard isn't cooperating :P 17:22:29 dhanesh95: Yes. New one. 17:22:32 This tool basically pulls data from datagrepper and generates meaningful data in a lot of formats - Some of the formats supported include SVG, PNG, Markdown, Text, CSV and JSON. 17:22:53 Python++ 17:23:00 I am working on generating an HTML report and will hopefully complete it by this week. I have compiled up the results on my blog. Do take a look if you are interested. 17:23:06 #link https://sachinwrites.xyz/2016/06/06/digging-deep-into-datagrepper-more-statistics-features/ 17:23:25 I have uploaded the SVG's and text in the blog. PNG'd look like the static images in the blog while csv will look something like : 17:23:31 #link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KzVhspdYYclWcpEmqyyup9PKGW7FWRJn2MaRXcwswFY/edit?usp=sharing 17:23:34 ^This 17:23:51 The README has exhaustive information regarding this tool, take a look.
