Frields' 19:05:09 may I resume a bit the actual status? 19:05:34 december 9th is very near and we have 24 days to get webpages ready, tha last days after GOLD decision we need to do much other stuff, links, checksums, image sizes, torrent files and scripts, AMI IDs and and and....so no time for layout. We also must check all Infra script to work fine with the new domain (which is still not transfered to RH AFAIK). 19:05:44 #topic Status/plan ahead 19:05:58 oh sorry, yes right 19:06:03 actually we really need concrete text content, final layout and a clean and responsive bootstrap code. I think we have the final mockup and should just code it, and not sticking around anymore. 19:06:24 I think 24 days are enough to do that, but we need the content to do it, that means not only text content (think also about L10n), but also design (images, logos, icons). 19:06:48 that's the reason why we called also WG which are very important 19:06:49 so with l10n, how much time do we have for text content? 19:07:28 jreznik: the new webpage will not be as big as fedoraproject.org, but still lots of strings 19:07:32 jreznik: We'd like to give translators a few weeks before GA, I think... but also we have the ability to continuously roll out updates to the site, IIRC 19:07:42 jreznik: "a few" == 2 19:07:44 stickster: +1 19:07:48 Sorry to interrupt - I'm new! Am I right in thinking this is a new website for getfedora.org (where it now redirects to fedoraproject.org)? Is there a post somewhere with details of the new site? 19:08:06 stickster: yeah, a few means max two weeks now... 19:08:44 so what we need now is text content for the main brochure site 19:08:52 every single $PRODUCT site 19:09:00 and also for "take the tour" 19:09:13 ryanlerch: please interrupt if I'm saying something wrong here 19:09:22 we still want the _tour_ right? 19:09:25 robyduck, all sounds good from my end 19:09:31 ok 19:09:51 mattnix: I think you want to look back into October on the mailing list 19:09:57 so we'd need also concrete mockups from design for the product sites 19:10:06 mattnix yes, that's correct -- hold on a sec and I'll send you a link off-channel 19:10:07 stickster, thanks! 19:10:17 would be nice to have exact specification of what we want before going to WGs, robyduck sent me screenshots to have an overview how it's going to look like 19:10:18 mattdm, thanks too! :) 19:10:58 ryanlerch: I think 24 days are enough to code all the stuff, if we have imagesm text and icons we can write a clean and responsive code. 19:11:31 ryanlerch: robyduck: So that's really getfedora.org/ , gf.o/workstation , gf.o/cloud, and gf.o/server ? 19:11:35 if we have to work on the same page more times, then we are waisting time, and we can't waist any minute actually 19:11:44 stickster: yup 19:11:58 OK, agreed -- that's the text we want to hack today 19:12:07 stickster: that's also the reason why I wanted to run the pages ASAP 19:12:21 to show WGs and L10n where we will diplay which content 19:12:35 And then we'd want to take that text and check it with the WGs within a very short time, so they can give input and fixes 19:12:38 correct? 19:12:42 robyduck: screenshots are still good starting point 19:12:52 smooge says it should be all set for the new domain from our side, still need to transfer the domain to RH 19:13:03 jreznik: do you have them linked somewhere? 19:13:13 * robyduck needs to reproduce them otherwiser 19:13:16 robyduck: Right -- but that can happen in the background and it will be invisible to visitors 19:13:18 otherwise* 19:13:22 robyduck: not yet but will try later today/tomorrow in the morning 19:13:30 stickster: sure, in stg 19:13:43 robyduck: Sorry, I mean, the domain transfer can happen in the background 19:13:51 It doesn't really block us, AFAICT 19:14:22 stickster: you mean running them on another domain? 19:14:30 robyduck: No, running it on getfedora.org throughout 19:14:52 robyduck: I mean, transferring that domain to Red Hat should be easy to happen in the background. I suspect we'll have it done by GA without a problem. 19:15:02 robyduck: It won't interfere with deploying the site 19:15:29 At least, AFAIK -- someone tell me if I'm wrong :-) 19:15:29 stickster: ah no, sure, it's still happening and should be done soon 19:15:52 it's all fine also if we have it transfered one day before release date 19:15:54 OK, moving on... sorry for detour :-) 19:16:40 so, as WG are around, we should think about a content and features we want to promote for each product 19:16:54 robyduck: +1 19:17:08 So we should figure out a place we can take these notes to make it easier to grab content later :-) 19:17:17 anyone disagree? 19:17:21 stickster: +1 19:17:33 ryanlerch: Also, you called this meeting and I didn't mean to steal any thunder :-) 19:17:33 yessir 19:17:47 * stickster has no magic gavel :-) 19:17:52 stickster, happy for you to chair :) 19:17:53 Or rather, we all do :-) 19:18:20 * mattdm grabs a gavel, pounds it 19:18:23 #topic Assembling content today -- where? 19:18:41 Is everyone here comfortable with gobby? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Gobby 19:19:00 stickster: set Gobby free. 19:19:04 oh, wait 19:19:18 never used it, but yeah, it will be fine! 19:19:49 stickster: yeah, I'm good. Just tell me where to connect... 19:20:03 jzb: All instructions are in the wiki page above 19:21:47 I just got to Gobby, and I made a starting doc called 'getfedora.org' (go figure) :-) 19:22:31 #action we will use gobby (starting doc is getfedora.org) to continue after this meeting for collaborating on the new websites content, install it! 19:22:37 is this ok? 19:22:59 robyduck: perfect! 19:23:12 robyduck: Although hopefully we will get to text very quickly, and can get it to WGs tomorrow 19:23:22 ok nice 19:23:23 oh wait 19:23:25 #undo 19:23:25 Removing item from minutes: ACTION by robyduck at 19:22:31 : we will use gobby (starting doc is getfedora.org) to continue after this meeting for collaborating on the new websites content, install it! 19:23:30 the earlier we have it the better 19:23:31 lol 19:23:38 #agreed we will use gobby (starting doc is getfedora.org) to continue after this meeting for collaborating on the new websites content, install it! 19:23:46 +1 19:23:53 Otherwise zoddie will think "we" is someone who does that :-D 19:24:07 sure 19:24:10 #topic Working on text -- keep conversation here 19:24:23 So we can work on text in gobby, but let's keep the discussion here for logging :-) 19:24:34 how much text are we looking for in each product's case? 19:24:45 we should have 100 word descriptions or something for each product somewhere that we developed for the design team. 19:24:49 jreznik: have the links? 19:24:58 jzb: Let me do a screenshot of the space, so you can see how it looks live 19:25:40 robyduck: yep 19:25:43 mmh let me forward a mail to you all 19:25:47 #link https://jreznik.fedorapeople.org/websites.next/download-page-sample.png 19:25:50 ok, cool 19:25:55 #link https://jreznik.fedorapeople.org/websites.next/main.png 19:26:04 #link https://jreznik.fedorapeople.org/websites.next/workstation.png 19:26:24 so we have a $product page (as workstation you can see in the link) and a download page 19:27:00 every single product also will have a sort of "TOUR", where the WGs should guide users through the features of server, workstation or cloud 19:27:05 jzb: could we just use what we have now for beta for each product? it looks good, it's translated... 19:27:20 jzb: To answer your question, look at 'main.png' above and look for the three 'lorem ipsum' sections 19:27:36 jreznik_: yes we can use for sure what we have, and I used it in the download example for cloud 19:27:37 stickster: that's about 25 words 19:27:42 jzb: The doc I've started in gobby is just for the main page 19:27:57 We can make separate docs for each of the other pages, so it's easier to grok 19:28:01 *nod 19:28:26 jzb: yes, it shouldn't be longer, we can have longer descriptions in the product page or in the tour 19:28:49 robyduck: +1 19:29:29 on the main page we should just place some short slogans, to make people understand what each product will be roughly 19:29:45 stickster, what server do we connect to for the gobby doc please? 19:30:08 mattnix: Refer to this wiki page for complete instructions: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Gobby 19:30:42 thanks, also as an aside, I think it would be good to feature DevAssistant on the Workstation page, it's a great and unique tool for us! 19:30:54 mattnix: Agreed, speaking as the WS liaison ;-) 19:31:03 ;) 19:31:39 aboute the features I really don't know, is docker really to place under workstation as mizmo did? 19:31:58 maybe the features also should go under "take the tour", what's your thought here ryanlerch ? 19:32:38 robyduck: well, docker could be feature for all three products and even more :) 19:33:09 Docker is ... complicated. :-D 19:33:12 eheh, I have also troubles where to place the image :) 19:33:20 jzb: yup :D 19:33:25 we can be a container, run a container... 19:34:18 can we have own tours for interesting projects - not for ga, but later? docker would be nice for it 19:34:31 jreznik_: That's something we could look into for F22. 19:34:46 jreznik_: yes we can and I think we *should* 19:34:54 robyduck: +1 19:34:56 robyduck: As I understand it, when you "Take the Tour" it sends you down the page 19:35:02 but for GA we should start with product tours 19:35:05 ryanlerch: ^ is that right? 19:35:44 stickster: good point, that would be easier but also confusing on the main product page 19:35:58 i thought the idea behind the tour was to have more detail than just the 4 or so features on the main product page... 19:36:02 robyduck: Right -- the tours are on each specific product, not the main page 19:36:32 stickster: yes, main (product) page ;) 19:36:48 +1 19:36:50 sorry, need to be more precise 19:37:10 * stickster would recommend, let's all use URLs to avoid confusion :-) 19:37:28 ryanlerch: was the idea to have a separate page? 19:37:57 like gf.o/product/tour ? 19:37:59 yeah, that's my question too. ryanlerch, that's fine if so, but it does make me wonder if we are biting off even more pages and content to do 19:38:25 robyduck, stickster that was my impression -> a seperate page. 19:38:59 ryanlerch: that would be better, because the main gf.o/product page would be cleaner 19:39:14 so the features should go there together with other stuff 19:39:16 ryanlerch: robyduck: jzb: *: What if we concentrate for right now on finishing the four pages we absolutely do know about, as they appear now, and go on to tour pages after that? 19:39:33 Otherwise we run the risk of discussing until we've used up all our time for making text :-) 19:40:22 ok, let's follow that proposal, we need to have from WGs something to put into the tour, but we can discuss this also on gobby 19:40:32 stickster: wfm 19:42:05 other question then. Is there anything WG need on websites we actually not have on the pre-release pages? 19:42:26 s/not/don't 19:42:38 robyduck: I haven't seen anything from Workstation POV that is missing. 19:43:21 * stickster notes we may not have Server represented here today. sgallagh could not attend -- he asked a few people to substitute, but I don't see them. So I will work on their pieces, and the WGs can correct it, rather than leave it blank :-) 19:43:31 cool, my plan also is to do all the pages asap, we should have 10 days for fine tuning with WGs to fix stuff 19:43:32 robyduck: probably more featured stuff for tour? but we can join forces with release announcement and use the same feature set/text 19:43:40 #info stickster will do stuff for Server today, so we have something to present 19:43:43 jreznik_: absolutely 19:43:45 stickster: happy to also help there, I think I grok some of server stuff 19:43:52 jzb: Much appreciated as always 19:43:53 cool 19:44:32 robyduck: so I'll try to push folks working on release announcement earlier, I know workstation guys had very nice content ready month ago etc. 19:44:52 jreznik_: yes that would be helpful, thanks 19:44:56 jzb: what do you think? 19:45:25 would it makes sense to sync announcement with features featured on tour page? 19:45:51 it's a bit different content but not that much, we can reuse screenshots etc. 19:46:20 jreznik_: about pushing the release announcement earlier? 19:46:26 jreznik_: how much earlier? :-) 19:46:28 i don't have an opinion about it, it doesn't need to be synced imho, but it could if WG agree on it. 19:47:01 jzb: 2 weeks or 10 days? 19:47:33 robyduck: 10 days before release? 19:47:34 we can start to do I18n and let L10n folks work on the other pages in the meanwhile, tour stuff could be the last 19:47:36 or ...? 19:47:48 yeah, too early I guess, right? 19:47:55 robyduck: no, that's fine. 19:48:10 jreznik_: ^^^^ Yup, I worked on WS content to have it early for this purpose too :-) 19:48:20 robyduck: there's really no reason we can't have the release announcement on hand 10 days early 19:48:27 \o/ 19:48:40 I mean, there's always the possibility we have to change something last minute but generally it should be nearly locked. 19:49:01 actually it's a good idea to have it earlier :) better than day after release (yeah, once I wrote it day after :))) 19:49:18 jzb: simple edits are not that big deal 19:49:29 sure, but last minute changes are not so important I guess, the main content of the product features should not change that much 19:50:00 jreznik_: hey, I know we had it at least the day before release last time! 19:50:32 jzb: with you, yes, before, we had one incident :) 19:50:40 ok, so lets try to get the content apart from the tour pages locked in 19:51:08 ryanlerch: yes, can we mark an action for that? 19:52:00 robyduck: No need, we're all doing it on Gobby right now :-) 19:52:03 ryanlerch: +1 19:52:07 * stickster already working over there 19:52:09 oki 19:52:23 copy/paste from pre-release? :) 19:52:43 ryanlerch: anything specific we need for the main brochure site gf.o? 19:53:25 or can we use what we have in the mockup and add the four foundations as on the actual fpo website? 19:53:57 I mean under the three product columns 19:54:11 do we have text placeholders for the /cloud /server pages? 19:54:16 robyduck: jzb and I have written up text on the gobby doc for that 19:54:22 jzb: no we don't 19:54:32 for the main page, the reader should really get the message that fedora now is 3 products. and prominently feature them for the user to get to the product pages 19:54:35 robyduck: Come join us on gobby :-) 19:54:42 stickster: ok cool (I need to get into it later) 19:55:00 stickster: children are complaining here :D 19:55:01 robyduck: 'yum install gobby' and you can join it using instructions on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Gobby 19:55:04 robyduck: Ah, OK 19:55:27 robyduck: We are writing up text right now for placeholders seen in the getfedora.org site currently available in git 19:55:44 nice :) 19:55:49 robyduck: I have four docs set up, one for each of gf.o, gf.o/cloud, gf.o/server, gf.o/workstation 19:56:20 robyduck: I can provide patches/git commits at least for some of these shortly :-) 19:56:21 stickster: wow 19:56:34 ryanlerch++ 19:57:16 ryanlerch: for design, I know you all have much stuff to do also for WP, software ecc ecc 19:57:57 might help if I knew how big the text holes I'm plugging were :-) 19:58:11 robyduck, my focus at the moment is gf.o, so ping me if you need a graphic, and i will do it 19:58:23 what about providing just the images, icons and colors we should use? You did a really great work and if you can continue it would be nice, but we need to use just bootstrap 19:58:24 that goes for anyone else too 19:58:31 cool 19:59:10 ryanlerch: I saw mo's commits on workstation, we have 7MB images there and it uses new classes which we have on bootstrap 19:59:30 jzb: Hey, you're git friendly, right? 19:59:36 stickster: sure 19:59:55 ryanlerch: is it a problem if we rewrite that a bit? but we need other images to code it better 20:00:21 I understood the layout we would have, but let's make it easier, same layout, less code 20:00:32 jzb: Do this then. Find a suitable directory on your box, and run: git clone ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/fedora-web.git 20:00:44 jzb: (or https:// if for some reason you're not permitted) 20:00:54 jzb: and be patient, the repo is *really* large 20:00:58 robyduck: +1 20:01:21 jzb: Once done, run: cd fedora-web && git checkout getfedora 20:02:04 jzb: then cd getfedora.org and 'make en test' 20:02:09 stickster: sure, I've already got that locally 20:02:14 stickster: I submitted patches for alpha 20:02:16 hehe 20:02:21 jzb: Awesome 20:03:11 jzb: OK, with a git pull you should have all the latest. Once you run 'make en test' as above, you can point your browser at http://localhost:5000 and see the test site currently in dev 20:03:24 That will give you an idea of space 20:03:40 jzb: Also, if you feel something else is needed 20:03:47 er, whether 20:04:18 Oh, look at the big brain on Paul: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_fix_bugs_on_the_Fedora_Project_website 20:04:22 Ha, I remember writing that ;-) 20:04:33 ryanlerch: do I hurt anyone if I revert the last commits? I'll take a screenshot and rewrite it. 20:04:52 robyduck, which commits? 20:05:22 mo's and the ones we did afetr it to unbreak the other pages 20:06:17 robyduck: Is this not something we can just modify? 20:06:26 Or is there something wrong with all those commits? 20:07:14 we can also modify it, it's the same. there are classes in the app.css we shouldn't have on bootstrap 20:07:27 Yeah, let's just modify then 20:07:53 "revert" has a specific implication not really intended here :-) 20:08:12 robyduck: Will we have bootstrap available in time for deployment? 20:08:15 no need to specify width or percentage, we have a nice grid which is repsonsive. And the images are too big (7MB), we should display them in another way to keep it with the same layout but much lighter 20:08:22 aslo for mobile 20:08:34 stickster: yes it's already all bootstrap 20:08:42 and it's all responsive 20:08:53 OK, cool -- I couldn't remember if there were still any packaging or other difficulties 20:09:18 no I worked on that time ago and have the sources I compiled on github (IIRC) 20:09:59 stickster: OK 20:10:08 * mattdm got pulled into something else and is not paying attention very well. ping me if needed please? 20:10:11 stickster: when do we need patches in? 20:10:12 jzb: did that all work out for you? 20:10:19 I'm about to get pulled into a different content discussion. 20:10:42 jzb: ASAP; the idea is to give something to WGs to review over next few days, so we can preserve L10n time 20:10:59 stickster: +1 20:11:21 jzb: So don't worry about the patches being perfect -- I would recommend, put in content now, make screenshots using above fedora-web instructions, and post to WGs for feedback 20:11:25 robyduck: ^ ? 20:11:26 sound good? 20:11:38 * robyduck will also close the fp.o L10n source and open the getfedora.org source as soon we have the first strings to translate 20:11:48 stickster: sounds very good 20:12:03 robyduck: So, we will want to open to translators after we have WGs check text, correct? 20:12:08 yes 20:12:10 robyduck: That way they don't do work twice either :-) 20:12:12 Cool 20:12:32 jzb: Do you want to take first stab at Server? 20:12:39 yes, and they also wouldn't get a 'big drop' but slowly dive into the new strings 20:13:23 stickster: I can but not for the next bit - I'm also working on site refresh for Atomic right now. :-( 20:13:29 ryanlerch: And the idea is that get.fp.o -> getfedora.org, correct? 20:13:33 jzb: I'll take it then, no worries 20:13:35 like is tomorrow morning too late? 20:14:09 oh I have another question for all: do we have some agreement or why we promote lenovo as laptop on the workstation page? 20:14:36 robyduck: It's not right now -- I believe newest icon is Samsung 20:14:58 really? 20:15:20 robyduck: Are you looking at latest git? 20:15:36 stickster: https://jreznik.fedorapeople.org/websites.next/workstation.png 20:15:38 lenovo 20:15:54 robyduck: jreznik_: That appears to be an older mockup? 20:16:10 no it's the one we have on git 20:16:15 it's what robyduck sent me in the morning 20:16:16 samsung was the older one 20:16:25 I think there was some discussion on the marketing list about using a modern, nice looking laptop and removing the branding 20:16:37 Oh, maybe no one's committed the new picture yet 20:16:49 The Samsung up there now is a sleek ATIV 20:16:55 Is the Lenovo something nice too? 20:17:18 ryanlerch: can we have a new image for the main workstation page? In the jumbotron? 20:17:37 robyduck, other than my laptop? 20:17:51 jreznik_: robyduck: Why do I see something totally different in git? 20:17:55 it would be the best if we do it like you did before, a clean image we can place on the right, not a 3600px background 20:18:16 stickster: did you pull^ 20:18:18 ? 20:18:33 lenovo is more developers laptop than samsung, just don't put carbon there, it's pain to use it now with fedora :) 20:18:53 jreznik_: really? I have a Carbon and it works fine. Except the trackpad sucks. 20:19:06 jzb: trackpad sucks, hidpi too 20:19:20 robyduck: OH! All my fault.
