22:03:22 <stickster> best week since August
22:03:37 <ryanlerch> woo!
22:03:53 <stickster> #info October 2017 is already up from September and we have a few days in the month left.
22:03:59 <ryanlerch> we surpassed last years totla pageviews during the week!
22:04:10 <stickster> We need one more big/controversial post :-D
22:04:13 <ryanlerch> #bestyearevar
22:04:17 <stickster> \o/
22:04:50 <ryanlerch> averageing over 9K / day this month too!
22:04:59 <stickster> Yeah, rocking for sure
22:05:31 <stickster> #topic This week's schedule
22:05:40 <sub_pop[m]> another flatpak post? flatpak is pretty controversial
22:05:46 <ryanlerch> if we can do that for devember / november too, we will come very close to 3M
22:05:56 <stickster> sub_pop[m]: lol, bring it on
22:06:06 <stickster> we have modular server still to come, ryanlerch
22:06:30 <ryanlerch> morning sub_pop[m] !
22:06:36 <stickster> if langdon can get us some content, as I've asked, we can boost awareness and drive some good #s here
22:06:41 <ryanlerch> #chair sub_pop[m]
22:06:41 <zodbot> Current chairs: ryanlerch stickster sub_pop[m]
22:07:12 <stickster> I'm short circuiting the usual agenda so we can just jam out a plan for the week
22:07:23 <ryanlerch> stickster: sounds good!
22:07:42 <stickster> #info Oct 31 is *supposed* to be F27 GA but not sure whether we're going to make it -- so let's assume we post nothing on Tuesday for GA (or the "what's new in workstation" link)
22:08:20 <sub_pop[m]> heyo. not driving home yet
22:08:44 <stickster> ryanlerch: I saw you have a post on Overview improvements... I noticed when I looked at the title, I thought at first it was an overview *of* improvements
22:09:17 <stickster> would it be better to say "Shell Overview" or something like that in the title?
22:09:20 <ryanlerch> maybe search improvements?
22:09:34 <ryanlerch> ah +1 for shell overview
22:09:41 <ryanlerch> will change!
22:09:46 <stickster> yeah! Or GNOME Shell Search, I think having the GNOME title is helpful for us in general
22:10:08 <sub_pop[m]> i might try to write up a gnome 3.26 feature summary or something similar. i've been loving builder 3.26
22:10:27 <sub_pop[m]> need to solidify the pitch thiugh
22:10:35 <ryanlerch> sub_pop[m]: a article about builder itself would be good
22:10:35 <stickster> sub_pop[m]: I have an article lined up here: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=19145&preview=true
22:10:45 <stickster> sub_pop[m]: Something specifically on Builder would be AMAZING
22:10:51 <ryanlerch> i know that i did one when it was first starting out
22:10:51 <stickster> we need to cover that better for devs
22:11:13 <sub_pop[m]> ok. lemme see if i can come up with a builder topic
22:11:56 <ryanlerch> sub_pop[m]: sorta like a review of features would do well IMHO
22:12:09 <sub_pop[m]> yea
22:12:21 <ryanlerch> pitch approved IMHO :)
22:12:40 <stickster> +1 on that
22:12:51 <stickster> Builder is pretty darn cool honestly
22:12:59 <sub_pop[m]> yea
22:13:21 <stickster> #info approved proto-pitch on Builder from sub_pop[m]
22:13:34 <stickster> ryanlerch: OK, so we have your Shell Search for Friday, let's say
22:13:56 <sub_pop[m]> ok. i'm off.
22:13:57 <ryanlerch> stickster: +1 :D
22:13:58 <sub_pop[m]> o/
22:14:12 <ryanlerch> that is a great imrpvement IMHO
22:14:34 <stickster> ryanlerch: Dominik Turecek sent us another new COPR content article
22:14:45 <stickster> o/ sub_pop[m]
22:14:57 <ryanlerch> seeya sub_pop[m] !
22:15:03 <stickster> Do we have anything yet for Monday?
22:15:15 <ryanlerch> stickster: that could be a good possible monday one?
22:15:43 <stickster> sure
22:16:18 <ryanlerch> we do have the possible 3 for tuesday, so we could skip monday maybe
22:16:42 <stickster> ryanlerch: we'll know Thursday evening (USA)/Friday morning (AUS) what's up with release
22:16:53 <stickster> so let's call this contingency planning ;-)
22:17:01 <ryanlerch> stickster: goood idea
22:17:19 <stickster> ryanlerch: did we discuss holding the COPR articles to one a month?
22:17:31 <stickster> I have a hazy recollection on this
22:17:34 <ryanlerch> i recall something about that
22:18:17 <ryanlerch> the last one was 3 weeks ago it seems too
22:18:18 <stickster> best case scenario... GA is Tuesday, we hold COPR until next Thu or Fri
22:18:27 <stickster> so it's just into November
22:19:15 <stickster> We have an article on VSCode but it's only about 60% complete IMHO... needs more feature explanation, it's superficial as-is
22:20:56 <ryanlerch> stickster: more input needed from the author?
22:21:13 <stickster> ryanlerch: I emailed the author (and list I think?) asking for some changes/meat
22:22:12 <ryanlerch> monday might be a stretch for that one?
22:22:29 <ryanlerch> as a contingincy that is
22:22:59 <stickster> Yeah
22:23:18 <stickster> ryanlerch: Are you OK with an article on Audacious (music player)?
22:23:30 <stickster> it's actively maintained, fwiw
22:23:49 <ryanlerch> stickster: yeah a +1 from me
22:24:29 <stickster> #agreed Audacious pitch approved
22:24:41 <stickster> #action stickster email the author/list with a go-sign
22:25:59 <stickster> Wow, precious little in the backlog :-(
22:26:46 <ryanlerch> yeah :/
22:27:24 <ryanlerch> any news on the next HDYF?
22:27:33 <stickster> ryanlerch: none yet, I pinged cprofitt since I saw him online
22:28:13 <stickster> ryanlerch: maybe I need to start assigning articles to team members :-D
22:28:23 <ryanlerch> :D
22:29:30 <stickster> ryanlerch: How about this... we have Fri covered with your Shell search. I'll try to whip something up for Monday. Wednesday we could do the COPR article if there's no release. Friday we'll wing it
22:29:54 <ryanlerch> stickster: sounds like a plan
22:30:06 <stickster> ryanlerch: maybe we should have members of the Fedora team do the HDYF, that way we can ensure cprofitt gets answers :-D
22:30:08 <ryanlerch> for the release, i'll stage up the upgrading srticle
22:30:16 <stickster> ryanlerch: that sounds bonzer
22:30:27 <stickster> ^ not even sure that's correct slang
22:30:33 <ryanlerch> that is an easy one -- mainly a s/26/27
22:30:36 <stickster> *nod
22:30:42 <stickster> it's important to have but yeah, dead easy
22:30:44 <ryanlerch> it's "correct"
22:30:51 <stickster> just awkward?
22:30:54 <ryanlerch> but not really something we say anymore
22:30:56 <stickster> lol
22:31:06 <stickster> I need to stop reading Outback restaurant menus
22:31:17 <ryanlerch> hahah
22:31:17 <stickster> Is that like saying "swell" here in the USA?
22:31:46 <ryanlerch> stickster: i think it is more analogolus to awesome
22:31:49 <stickster> ha
22:31:54 <stickster> I say awesome all the time though :-(
22:31:59 <stickster> what's a better colloquialism for "awesome"?
22:32:01 <smooge> next up Fosters
22:32:06 <ryanlerch> i did have a blooming onion for breakfast tho
22:32:11 <stickster> lol no you didn't
22:32:33 <ryanlerch> well, we can't call them that TM
22:32:36 <stickster> ha
22:32:38 <ryanlerch> haha
22:32:40 <stickster> no wait, you really did?
22:33:03 <ryanlerch> yeah, its a pretty normal australian breakfast
22:33:30 <ryanlerch> haha no. i had never seen anything like a bloomin onion before going to the states
22:33:42 <stickster> wow
22:33:59 <stickster> yeah, I figured you were pulling my leg
22:34:11 <stickster> I was like, why the heck would anyone eat that for breakfast
22:34:46 <stickster> #proposed #agreed SCHEDULE - Fri Oct 27: Shell search (ryan) ; Mon Oct 30: TBA (paul, if no F27GA) ; Wed Nov 01: COPR (paul, if no F27GA) ; Fri Nov 03: TBA
22:34:51 <stickster> ^ what do you think?
22:35:00 <ryanlerch> smooge: i think the last time i saw fosters here was in the "imports" section of the bottleshop
22:35:35 <ryanlerch> stickster: +1
22:35:40 <stickster> #agreed SCHEDULE - Fri Oct 27: Shell search (ryan) ; Mon Oct 30: TBA (paul, if no F27GA) ; Wed Nov 01: COPR (paul, if no F27GA) ; Fri Nov 03: TBA
22:35:51 <stickster> #topic Open floor - all other business
22:36:18 <stickster> I have an idea for that Monday article, but it may be better as a series. I first need to make things work on a Fedora box ;-)
22:36:24 <ryanlerch> proposal: next magazine IRL meeting at an Outback
22:36:37 <stickster> if that falls through, I'll just write something up on e.g. RHEL devel subscription on new Boxes
22:36:54 <ryanlerch> stickster: the subscription thing +1
22:37:12 <stickster> OK, it's a plan.
22:37:25 <ryanlerch> feel free to ping me for images!
22:37:29 <stickster> ryanlerch: for sure
22:37:47 <ryanlerch> i'll get the 3 images for the release posts done today and uploaded
22:37:47 <stickster> ryanlerch: I feel like we should have a discussion about comment moderation, but I'd rather have x3mboy[m] and other interested folks around
22:37:56 <stickster> ryanlerch: sweet, thanks!
22:38:10 <ryanlerch> we also may have to chase up mattdm about the announcment status too
22:38:12 <stickster> ryanlerch: I did one for the What's-New, hope it was OK, but feel free to kill it if you don't like it.
22:38:27 <stickster> ryanlerch: Oh crap, I just realized, mattdm is traveling starting tomorrow to the UK
22:38:34 <stickster> he's only getting back Monday night.
22:39:28 <ryanlerch> sounds like a blocker bug to me :D
22:40:18 <stickster> lol
22:40:25 <stickster> "This isn't the release you're looking for"
22:40:32 <stickster> ryanlerch: It sounds like I may be doing that tomorrow ;-D
22:40:46 <stickster> fortunately I have a couple hours in the afternoon without meetingsx
22:41:14 <stickster> #action stickster handle the F27 release announcement unless he finds out someone is magically doing it alreayd
22:41:28 <stickster> Anything else for tonight (this morning)?
22:42:04 <ryanlerch> stickster: i'll see if i can get a start on it today
22:42:19 <stickster> ryanlerch: oh, an alley-oop would be most awesome.
22:42:19 <ryanlerch> stickster: nothing from me!
22:42:22 <stickster> OK then
