13:03:08 <stickster> #info --- mypy ---
13:03:21 <stickster> cverna++ for contributing another post!
13:03:59 <stickster> cverna: This looks great -- I'll take on the editing duty, and my plan is to publish it this Friday
13:04:17 <stickster> #action stickster edit/image for mypy, publish Friday 2018-03-09
13:04:21 <cverna> great :)
13:05:41 <stickster> #topic Drafts for review
13:05:45 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post
13:06:06 <cverna> nothing new here
13:06:13 * stickster is barrelling along here... 😁
13:06:37 <stickster> I need to check with gnokii whether he is ready for us to publish part 1 of his series
13:07:15 <stickster> #action stickster ping gnokii about series readiness
13:07:25 <stickster> He's made some updates since the last time we looked, that's a good sign
13:08:43 <stickster> Hmm, nothing new in pitches either
13:09:34 <stickster> #topic Rounding out the schedule
13:09:49 <stickster> #idea stickster can do another "3 videos from DevConf.cz" roundup, not difficult
13:10:13 <stickster> #link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmYAQDZIQGm_kPvemBc_qwg/videos - Channel for DevConf.cz videos
13:11:06 * stickster looks for another topic to pull together
13:11:42 <stickster> cverna: Any idea for a short "how to" that might be interesting for developers? Like a neat trick in ipython or something else?
13:11:52 * stickster uses ipython a lot
13:12:12 <pingou> bpython is nicer :-p
13:12:13 <stickster> well, "a lot" means here, the little bit I get to use Python, I am often using ipython to do it :-)
13:12:13 <cverna> I had an idea but can't remember it now :s
13:12:33 <stickster> haha
13:12:57 <stickster> I have the morning/not-enough-coffee blues, you may have the after-lunch blues :-)
13:13:06 <cverna> oh we could do an article on atop
13:13:15 <cverna> a tool similar to htop
13:14:15 <pingou> +1
13:15:15 <stickster> cverna: that does sound neat, are you interested to write it for a slot next Wednesday?
13:15:45 <cverna> stickster: sounds good :)
13:16:37 <stickster> cverna+++++++
13:16:45 <stickster> thanks for saving our bacon for next week's schedule :-)
13:17:04 * stickster needs to write a "We Need You" article for getting some more writers
13:18:15 <stickster> #action cverna write a "check out atop" article for publishing on Wed 2018-03-14
13:18:15 <cverna> yeah would be nice to have more people around
13:19:21 <stickster> cverna: We seem to be in a bit of a lull. I will also nudge cprofitt and some of our other regular contributors to find out if they're still around and able to write. The interviews have always been popular, so if cprofitt's not doing one, maybe we can get x3mboy[m] or someone else to send out questions to people
13:19:58 <cverna> yeah I always enjoy reading these
13:21:10 <stickster> Ah, I see we have a post on Python 3.7 beta
13:21:28 <stickster> This is a *really* esoteric post
13:21:59 <stickster> meaning... it's terribly detailed in a way that I don't think most Magazine readers are going to connect with
13:22:34 <stickster> It would be better if we could combine this with a number of other new software packages you can test now in Fedora
13:24:33 <cverna> yeah it is very python specific
13:24:52 <stickster> Like, "4 new software updates you can try"
13:24:53 <cverna> something like the rust article
13:25:23 <stickster> right -- that was more general, I wouldn't want to publish a "new features in rust 2.14beta3"
13:25:51 <stickster> That's useful for a Rust blog/magazine or SIG but not for a general audience
13:26:14 <cverna> agreed
13:26:41 <stickster> #action stickster respond to Petr Viktorin on list (done)
13:27:30 <stickster> OK, so for publishing, it looks like we have: Friday 2018-03-09 - mypy ; Monday 2018-03-12 - 3 videos ; Wednesday 2018-03-14 - atop ; Friday 2018-03-16 - ?? (maybe hypersonic part 1)
13:28:12 <stickster> My bet is we will have at least one submission next week -- jforbes was going to do something on kernel security issues
13:28:41 <stickster> sound good, cverna?
13:28:43 <cverna> I will try to think about pitch ideas and add them
13:28:54 <cverna> yes it works for me
13:28:56 <stickster> cverna: that would be great, even ideas you don't want to write are fine :-)
13:29:07 <stickster> #agreed PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: Friday 2018-03-09 - mypy ; Monday 2018-03-12 - 3 videos ; Wednesday 2018-03-14 - atop ; Friday 2018-03-16 - ?? (maybe hypersonic part 1)
13:29:13 <stickster> OK, that's it, I'll close out!
13:29:20 <stickster> cverna: thanks for being here!
13:29:27 <cverna> thanks stickster
