Or at least, understand enough :P 17:45:43 <tg-fedmindshare> <bt0dotninja> The usual answer is no (I think) 17:46:26 <jwf> :D 17:47:19 <jwf> Oh I just saw the Etherpad, that looks good. Maybe move the Pagure ticket link to the top and ask people to comment there, and then send it out 17:47:32 <jwf> x3mboy++ 17:48:17 <x3mboy> .moar cookies 17:48:17 <zodbot> x3mboy: (moar <an alias, 2 arguments>) -- Alias for "echo here $2, have some more $1". 17:48:24 <x3mboy> .moar jwf cookies 17:48:24 <zodbot> here cookies, have some more jwf 17:48:45 <sumantro> x3mboy++ 17:48:45 <zodbot> sumantro: Karma for x3mboy changed to 8 (for the current release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 17:48:54 <x3mboy> sumantro o/ 17:49:07 <sumantro> o/ :) 17:49:11 <tg-fedmindshare> <bt0dotninja> Hi sumantro 17:49:25 <sumantro> hi bt0 17:51:34 <jwf> sumantro: o/ 17:51:46 <sumantro> bex I just voted on #141 17:51:57 <jwf> bexelbie: What do you think, are there other actions for this ticket? 17:52:00 <sumantro> jwf, o/ 17:52:04 <tg-fedmindshare> <bt0dotninja> So let me work it a little and I will ask you here (telegram/IRC) for your opinion, wdyt? 17:54:09 <jwf> @bt0dotninja: Sounds reasonable to me :) 17:54:16 <tg-fedmindshare> <bt0dotninja> Cool 17:54:51 <bexelbie> sorry - one sec - I have to be active in the other meeting :( 17:54:58 <bexelbie> they called my name and everything 17:57:51 <bexelbie> jwf for the ticket under discussion - I think we just need input from any ambassadors and then to have a final proposal 17:58:18 <x3mboy> +1 17:58:25 <jwf> I was thinking, maybe a good idea to time-box feedback 17:58:34 <jwf> So people have a definite date to give feedback by 17:58:35 <x3mboy> 5 minutes 17:58:44 <jwf> lolol. 17:58:54 <x3mboy> So they have time to read and no regret about missing the email 17:58:58 <x3mboy> :D 17:59:08 <bexelbie> 2 weeks? 17:59:16 <jwf> But if people weigh in on the ticket with some constructive feedback, I would consider that a win :) 17:59:27 <x3mboy> 2 weeks sounds reasonable 17:59:49 <x3mboy> For 2 weeks, this could be closed just before Flock? 17:59:58 <jwf> +1 from my POV 18:00:53 <jwf> x3mboy: I would guess some other steps are needed to smooth over docs and wiki pages to point at Advocates docs 18:01:06 <tg-fedmindshare> <jaredsmith> 2 weeks sounds OK for me too 18:01:07 <tg-fedmindshare> <jaredsmith> +1 18:01:27 <sumantro> +1 18:01:47 <tg-fedmindshare> <bt0dotninja> +1 18:02:24 * x3mboy think that ambassadors will chase Mindshare's members at Flock if we kill the title before the event 18:02:40 <x3mboy> With torches and forks and everything 18:02:46 <jwf> I am more optimistic personally :) 18:03:00 <jwf> Honestly I would be really curious to hear negative feedback about the proposal 18:03:08 <jwf> Silence is more scary to me 18:03:25 <x3mboy> I think negative feedback could be solved with the emeriti proposal 18:03:37 <tg-fedmindshare> <bt0dotninja> in part 18:04:22 <jwf> Perhaps. But one small step at a time. :) 18:04:52 <x3mboy> Also, I was thinking a lot about it 18:05:28 <x3mboy> I think I read more than once: "I've been promoting Fedora without funding, a title, or help from the project" 18:06:00 <x3mboy> I think removing this and focusing on Advocates will ensure that this situation got reduced a lot 18:06:15 <x3mboy> I'm not sure about my English there, hopefully you understand 18:06:25 <jwf> I agree :) 18:06:29 <jwf> Your English is excellent 18:06:44 <x3mboy> Gracias 18:06:45 <x3mboy> :D 18:06:47 <tg-fedmindshare> <jaredsmith> I've got some negative feedback, but am trying to type it up in a way that doesn't sound hostile... 18:06:56 <tg-fedmindshare> <jaredsmith> I'll try to get that finished up ASAP 18:07:15 <jwf> @jaredsmith: Cool. If you see some holes, you are almost certainly not the only one 18:07:32 <x3mboy> Actually what I'm seeing now IN mindshare, it's what I expect to happen in the ticket 18:07:32 <jwf> Looking forward to reading :) 18:08:06 <x3mboy> 2 parties discussing about it: Old-school long-time Ambys vs New-Fresh people that is just waving in 18:08:45 <tg-fedmindshare> <jaredsmith> That being said, if anyone at Flock wants to discuss, I'm happy to put on an asbestos suit and take the flames 😊 18:08:56 <tg-fedmindshare> <jaredsmith> (Heaven knows I got plenty of experience with that while being the FPL) 18:09:04 <x3mboy> And I totally understand both points 18:09:22 <x3mboy> @jaredsmith You'are our armour 18:09:24 <x3mboy> :D 18:09:45 <jwf> x3mboy: Yeah, that is a fair analysis. But cannot have one without the other :D 18:09:58 <jwf> Well, actually if you do, that is a bigger problem :P 18:10:43 <x3mboy> Well, just let's use the Metallica Approach: Wipe them all! (the titles, just in case) 18:11:16 <jwf> @jaredsmith: Honestly I hope people will care enough to have a thoughtful discussion about it. :) But I.R.L. conversations are totally different from IRC and ticket discussions too 18:11:43 <tg-fedmindshare> <jaredsmith> I wouldn't expect anything different 😊 18:11:56 <bexelbie> woo - that call ended 18:12:07 <x3mboy> bexelbie, welcome back 18:12:09 <jwf> Since bexelbie is traveling through different meeting dimensions, x3mboy maybe you can write up an action item for ML post? 18:12:12 <jwf> Ah nvm :D 18:12:57 <bexelbie> I am very ok with delaying a final decision until after Flock if we ahve a reason to believe we will get get input there 18:13:06 <bexelbie> if we are just doing it to avoid people, that is not optimal 18:14:07 <x3mboy> bexelbie, Actually I was thinking on having finished up before. But actually a IRL discussion if logged, could be benefitial 18:14:29 <jwf> Personally I feel a lot of folks who would have a lot of feedback will not be at Flock. But maybe for transparency, not a bad idea to just wait until Flock. It's only a month out anyways 18:14:33 <x3mboy> logged/recorded/transcripted 18:14:42 <bexelbie> as we haven't scoped this for Flock, the right people may not be tehre (yes, what jwf just said) 18:14:48 <bexelbie> only reason to hold is if we have real belief 18:14:55 <bexelbie> we don't need more conversation, we need input, if that makes sense 18:15:05 <x3mboy> Actually, how many ambassadors willbe at Flock 18:15:15 <x3mboy> bexelbie +1 18:15:25 <jwf> I have a case of Schrödinger's belief :D 18:15:33 <x3mboy> So, how we should proceed? 18:15:58 <jwf> Right now, only folks who are very tuned into Mindshare probably even know this discussion is happening 18:16:00 <x3mboy> Just let's @b0dotninja (since he offers himself) to finish the draft and send the email? 18:16:07 <jwf> x3mboy: +1 18:16:56 <x3mboy> @bt0dotninja ^ 18:16:57 <tg-fedmindshare> <bt0dotninja> +1 :D 18:17:01 <x3mboy> :D 18:17:23 <jwf> I think it is fair to keep call for feedback open (virtual or I.R.L.) open until Flock ends. There is not enough data to know what the response will be like yet 18:17:36 <jwf> Then Mindshare can leave Flock with a more clear plan of how to proceed 18:20:02 <tg-fedmindshare> <bt0dotninja> sounds fine for me 18:24:04 <bexelbie> jwf this is fine, but we need to make sure we are saying up front that we are making a call after Flock 18:24:14 <bexelbie> otherwise we can keep blocking on consensus forever 18:24:25 <bexelbie> I think this is where we have been for a whiel now 18:24:41 <jwf> Yep, agreed 18:25:00 <x3mboy> bexelbie, true, as you said before, input no convo 18:25:03 <tg-fedmindshare> <jaredsmith> WORKSFORME 😊 18:27:41 <x3mboy> Ok, action? 18:28:00 <tg-fedmindshare> <bt0dotninja> yeah 18:28:27 <x3mboy> I have something to Open Floor, but also I'm hungry (lunch time and no breakfast today) 18:28:34 <bexelbie> #topic openfloor 18:28:39 <bexelbie> x3mboy, :D 18:28:48 <nb> I am here now 18:28:49 <x3mboy> bexelbie you didn't action last point 18:28:51 <x3mboy> :D 18:28:54 <bexelbie> #undo 18:28:54 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Topic object at 0x7f6d2d468b90> 18:28:57 <bexelbie> x3mboy, can you action it 18:28:58 * nb had work meeting 18:29:11 * bexelbie got called away in other call - so I skimmed back and saw we had reached a good point 18:29:23 <x3mboy> #action bt0 will finish the draft and send email to ML with the feedback of the meeting 18:29:44 <nb> I'm trying to think of what I think. 18:29:59 <nb> I'm kinda -1 with doing away with ambassadors title, but I don't really have a good reason that I can think of yet 18:30:00 <x3mboy> nb, I was there 2-3 days ago 18:30:15 <nb> So I guess I should be more +0 or something 18:30:32 <x3mboy> Ok, Open Floor!!! 18:30:35 <nb> but yeah, i'll try to think it through soon (before flock at least) 18:30:52 <nb> Why does the ambassador list not allow open subscriptions? 18:30:55 * x3mboy think he should take breakfast at home 18:31:33 <nb> I am thinking we should open it to allow anyone to subscribe 18:31:49 <bexelbie> #topic Open Floor 18:32:00 <jwf> bt0++ 18:32:02 <zodbot> jwf: Karma for bt0dotninja changed to 6 (for the current release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 18:32:06 <bexelbie> let's come back to that nb 18:32:16 <bexelbie> x3mboy, your open floor topic? 18:32:30 <x3mboy> Hi, I'm coming to you because it has been a long time since I try to get a website to the podcast 18:32:36 <jsmith> nb: I think it was for historical reasons... we had some trolls in times past that weren't ambassadors, but wanted to harass the grouip 18:32:40 <jsmith> group, that is 18:32:40 <x3mboy> And I'm wasting project resources 18:32:58 <bexelbie> x3mboy, is this the only blocker for new episodes? 18:33:10 <x3mboy> (Simplecast and SoundCloud subcriptions fees to be more precise) 18:33:15 <bexelbie> the website is actually in track - it just got pushed behind the magazine and commblog migration which was unexpected 18:33:16 <x3mboy> bexelbie, partially yes 18:33:27 <bexelbie> see the email from infra about changing their responsibilities 18:33:52 <x3mboy> I have 3 edited that I will sent you to translation soon enough (on Friday probably) 18:34:18 <bexelbie> perfect 18:34:22 <bexelbie> and that is transcription, not translation 18:34:22 <x3mboy> But I think these should be taken as "Season 2" so having the site up its a great marketing strategy for the "season" 18:34:29 <x3mboy> Oh, yeah 18:34:33 <x3mboy> Sorry, my mistake 18:34:33 <bexelbie> let's get those ready and launch them for that 18:34:49 <bexelbie> can you also email Jason Brooks and let him know we need to see if we can priortize your site? 18:35:15 <x3mboy> Sure, I was thinking in use the magazine thread he opened about the new magazine instance to test 18:35:29 <x3mboy> But not sure if it better to send him a new email about it 18:35:50 <bexelbie> new email is probably better, but both work 18:36:18 <x3mboy> Sorry for the little silly grammar mistake, it's been 18 hours since my last meal 18:36:51 <bexelbie> no worries 18:36:57 <bexelbie> grammar mistakes are generally non-issues 18:37:50 <jwf> Being hungry is an issue :D 18:37:53 <x3mboy> Ok, so I will proceed with the email to Jason, and then continue with editing. I'm already planning on new episodes, just need to figure it out if my plan is not outdated and then I have a proposal, and I think of you to ask for it 18:38:24 <x3mboy> I have a plan to make a less edited, in-between interview releases episodes for the podcast 18:38:47 <bexelbie> I think it is important for you to focus on generating content 18:38:54 <bexelbie> if we need to try to find editing help, I'd like to look for that 18:39:04 <bexelbie> the podcasts have been well received and have a lot of potential 18:39:11 <bexelbie> but it is hard for you to do by yourself 18:39:14 <x3mboy> More like a "live podcast" in the terms of being recorded and released without too much edition, that will allow to be more current with the content 18:39:21 <x3mboy> bexelbie, sure, I know 18:39:37 <x3mboy> But actually I'm not sure on how to proceed to release some work on it 18:39:47 <x3mboy> I have already an intro and outro that I love 18:39:54 <x3mboy> Even when people don't like it too much 18:40:02 <x3mboy> But after that, the edition is wasy too hard 18:40:13 <x3mboy> Even when I'm becoming faster with Audacity 18:40:23 <bexelbie> I can probably get us some editing help, in at least the short term - let's chat about it directly 18:40:31 <bexelbie> do we have more details for the mindshare meeting? 18:40:39 <x3mboy> But I think, that we can discuss that on Pagure or another instance 18:40:43 <x3mboy> Not from me 18:40:45 <tg-fedmindshare> <bt0dotninja> not from me 18:40:46 <x3mboy> EOF 18:41:31 <bexelbie> otehr topics for open floor? 18:42:06 <bexelbie> Thank you all 18:42:11 <bexelbie> sorry again for being triple booked 18:42:16 <bexelbie> #endmeeting
