Anything to follow up on with its author? 12:14:40 <stickster> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban 12:15:59 <stickster> Do we have jakfrost here? 12:16:33 <stickster> #info #108 is still being discussed/figured out 12:17:18 <stickster> #info #144 is in jeopardy, no mhddfs package in Fedora according to author 12:18:37 <stickster> #info #145 is also in limbo at the moment -- due to difficulty level of rclone, but gregbartholomew had a suggestion for an alternate method 12:19:52 <stickster> gregbartholomew: Is that different method something that will work with gvfs? 12:20:00 <gregbartholomew> I'm not sure that the other method would be any easier. 12:20:33 <stickster> gregbartholomew: I also wonder about how changes propagate back to gdrive in that case 12:20:33 <gregbartholomew> I don't know. Really I think I mis-understood the question as being that encryption wasn't supported with one of the tools. 12:20:46 <rwaltr> The big difference between using a luks container file and rclone is that the luks method is not a good user of the API 12:21:37 <rwaltr> I've done the exact setup the author mentions. Restic and Rclone on gdrive. 12:21:44 <gregbartholomew> Yeah, basically you would only get the benefit of the cloud storage and all the API would be bypassed. 12:21:47 <stickster> rwaltr: Maybe it's not such a bad idea to cover then. 12:22:57 * stickster leaves a comment and we'll see where it goes 12:23:14 <rwaltr> Both restic and Rclone have encryption. Restic by default. And Rclone with a "crypt" mount that actually sits on top of another Rclone mount 12:23:23 <stickster> I think users looking for this kind of solution are more used to some complexity and would trade it off for the security aspect 12:24:07 <rwaltr> If the author would like I can offer some help or I can take over the Rclone article. 12:24:28 <rwaltr> I agree. Linux land is full of people who want encryption in various ways 12:25:13 <stickster> rwaltr: Curt tends to write good articles and fairly efficiently -- let's give him a few days to decide -- I tagged you in the comment though 12:25:21 <gregbartholomew> I remember someone asking for more info about encryption in the comments of the partitions article. 12:25:27 <rwaltr> Sounds good 12:25:29 <stickster> You guys could just correspond there and decide to collaborate -- go ahead and jump in if you like :-) 12:26:15 <gregbartholomew> I think LUKS might be a good topic for someone to do a writeup somewhere along the line as well. 12:27:31 <rwaltr> gregbartholomew what about LUKS exactly, a general overview? 12:27:34 <stickster> gregbartholomew: Agreed -- do you want to open that on https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-proposals/issues ? 12:28:09 <gregbartholomew> I don't actually use it, so I'm probably not the best person to write about it. 12:28:13 <stickster> It looks like we're going to be brainstorming for some quick material today, so we might as well have that idea in the queue :-) 12:28:23 <stickster> #topic 4/ Articles to edit 12:28:28 <stickster> #info Looking at the 'to edit' column, assign an editor and a cover image creator. 12:28:32 <stickster> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban 12:29:09 <stickster> Unfortunately, nothing is ready to edit today. I do intend to get a nautilus/Gdrive article up, there was no way for me to do it timely for today but I can cover Friday 12:29:40 <stickster> #topic 5/ Publishing schedule 12:29:44 <stickster> #info Looking at the 'queued' and 'to edit' columns, decide the publishing schedule for the next week period. 12:29:51 <stickster> #info If there is not enough content, we might also need to look at the 'in progress' or even the 'article spec' columns come up with additional content. 12:29:58 <stickster> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban 12:30:27 <stickster> So Friday I can cover... any ideas for how to cover next week Mon/Wed? 12:30:33 <gregbartholomew> Didn't somebody ask about posting an announcement on the maillist recently? 12:32:13 <stickster> Oh! There's an update to the hellotux shirts article 12:32:24 <stickster> We should probably reschedule/rerun that to highlight the update 12:32:54 <stickster> #link Updated story: https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-shirts-and-sweatshirts-from-hellotux/ 12:33:41 <gregbartholomew> Also there is a request for a supplemental wallpapers for fedora 32 article. 12:35:54 <stickster> Oh, I see it 12:36:14 <stickster> #link Supplemental wallpapers question: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/magazine@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/SKWKP36LNSMMCI7EL3E3STODA2MIT3TK/ 12:36:31 <stickster> #action stickster respond to Zach about supplemental wallpapers article 12:36:44 <gregbartholomew> It looks like he wants it sooner rather than later ... maybe that one should even be pushed to Friday? 12:36:49 <stickster> anyone have the link handy for previous? 12:36:57 <stickster> Yeah, if Zach can write it quickly 12:37:09 <stickster> sorry, for previous supplemental wps article 12:37:11 <gregbartholomew> Sorry, I don't have it. 12:37:45 <stickster> Clue: I'm using https://fedoramagazine.org and use search bar on right for 'supplemental wallpapers' 12:38:00 <stickster> #link F31 supplemental wallpapers: https://fedoramagazine.org/submissions-now-open-for-the-fedora-31-supplemental-wallpapers/ 12:40:09 <asamalik> sorry all, I messed up my DST calculation, for me this was in UTC but it turns out it sbofted with the US time 12:40:32 * asamalik is on a phone, in a tram, coming back from his dentist 12:40:47 <stickster> oh whoops 12:40:51 <stickster> no worries asamalik 12:41:04 <stickster> we only have to put up with this mismatch for a few weeks 12:41:12 <asamalik> thanks stickster for chairing! 12:41:22 <asamalik> yep that's fine! 12:42:18 <stickster> OK, I'm not sure whether we'll have Zach's article by Friday, but if so we can easily slot it in. 12:42:48 <asamalik> I can give another try to a desktop article 12:42:51 <stickster> We need one more article to be sure of covering things up through the next meeting. Anyone else have ideas or time to contribute? 12:43:18 <asamalik> gregbartholomew: thanks again for pushing that one today! 12:43:23 <stickster> gregbartholomew++ 12:43:29 <gregbartholomew> no problem. 12:43:33 <stickster> glb++ 12:43:34 <zodbot> stickster: Karma for glb changed to 3 (for the current release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 12:43:36 <asamalik> glb++ 12:44:25 <stickster> I suppose one possibility is if rwaltr and cwarfield get agreed on the rclone article, but maybe we don't want to 100% count on it 12:44:25 <rwaltr> I actually need to submit a topic 12:44:48 <rwaltr> Problem is that it's a tool that isn't in fedoras repos. So I have been hesitant 12:45:20 <asamalik> rwaltr: that is not a deal breaker necessarily 12:45:52 <rwaltr> It's called Chezmoi, it's a dotfilemanager that's templateable. The author does have a RPM package on their GitHub. 12:46:02 <asamalik> all you need to do is to package it! </lame-joke> 12:46:28 <rwaltr> Well. I was thinking of using it as a chance to try packaging... 😁 12:46:36 <asamalik> oh! 12:46:47 <asamalik> that sounds interesting indeed 12:47:03 <rwaltr> But yeah. I'll submit an issue for it later today 12:47:31 <asamalik> I'd give you a +1 right here 12:48:34 <stickster> rwaltr: We have at least one other issue in the hopper in same situation -- github provided RPMs 12:49:15 <asamalik> exiting the tram, so need to disappear, probably won't make it before the end 12:49:25 <asamalik> can write a desktop one for wednesday 12:49:40 <asamalik> thanks all! 12:49:51 <gregbartholomew> thanks asamalik! 12:49:56 <asamalik> (it's raining so need to put phone away) 12:53:41 <stickster> No worries 12:54:04 <stickster> Sorry for delay, I was reviewing some issues on the repo 12:55:21 <rwaltr> For some reason or another, my phone is having hell of a time finding the Fedora magazine issues page. I'll do it on my desktop once I get to it 12:56:25 <stickster> #proposed #agreed Publishing schedule: Fri Mar 13, nautilus/gdrive (stickster) -- Mon Mar 16, F32 supplemental wallpapers (snydez, edit/image TBD) -- Wed Mar 18, rclone (cwarfield/rwaltr, image stickster/asamalik) 12:56:39 * stickster has to depart in 2 min so this is last item today 12:57:09 <stickster> and sorry for late start and distractions. Unfortunately work is pretty brisk by this point in the morning :-( 12:57:23 <rwaltr> It happens! 12:57:28 <stickster> ^ asamalik gregbartholomew rwaltr +/-1? 12:57:54 <gregbartholomew> +1 12:58:11 <rwaltr> +1 12:58:13 <stickster> #agreed Publishing schedule: Fri Mar 13, nautilus/gdrive (stickster) -- Mon Mar 16, F32 supplemental wallpapers (snydez, edit/image TBD) -- Wed Mar 18, rclone (cwarfield/rwaltr, image stickster/asamalik) 12:58:30 <stickster> OK, that's it for today!
