2024-11-06 16:08:50 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I think we have enough of a quorum to go ahead and get started!
2024-11-06 16:08:56 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> thanks!
2024-11-06 16:08:57 <@jflory7:fedora.im> So, let's get into this agenda for today.
2024-11-06 16:09:20 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Apologies that I will have to log into the CommBlog and see the agenda as we go. I took last week off from work and I am still getting caught up on everything!

2024-11-06 16:10:12 <@jflory7:fedora.im> OK, first things first, let's see the pending queue.
2024-11-06 16:11:22 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I see two articles.
2024-11-06 16:11:43 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Aoife Moloney: Did you get a chance to tackle the CPE Q3 update? https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/review-publish-cpe-update-q3-2024/133883/3
2024-11-06 16:12:01 <@jflory7:fedora.im> We still need an editor for the Q3 Infra & RelEng article. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/review-publish-infra-releng-quarterly-update-q3/133882
2024-11-06 16:12:22 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Otherwise though, these are the only two pending requests.
2024-11-06 16:12:29 <@jflory7:fedora.im> So, not a bad backlog for today.
2024-11-06 16:12:37 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Anyone have some time to take on one of these articles?
2024-11-06 16:12:47 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Zlopez is a pro, so they should be easy :)
2024-11-06 16:13:33 <@jflory7:fedora.im> If anyone has questions about editing and what is required to do it, we can chat about that too!
2024-11-06 16:14:00 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I would raise my hand, but unfortunately, I have so much to do since I was off last week 😭
2024-11-06 16:14:13 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I won't have time this week.
2024-11-06 16:15:21 <@moralcode:fedora.im> i likely also wont have time this week (working on F41 party prep)
2024-11-06 16:16:27 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Adrian Edwards (use @irradiated_lemming:matrix.org): Understood and that is a wise call, sir!
2024-11-06 16:17:02 <@sumantrom:fedora.im> I can take up this week.. I have call for test days to publish and hof of f41
2024-11-06 16:17:04 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> i see that its an article for quarterly report of what the infra & releng team did right?
2024-11-06 16:17:04 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> 
2024-11-06 16:17:04 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> is it something that i can assist? (since its my first time to this meeting im unaware of wat going on)

2024-11-06 16:17:23 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> 
2024-11-06 16:17:35 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Sumantro Mukherjee: Thanks! Maybe you can take the CPE article since this one was up first? It would be good to get it out sooner than later.
2024-11-06 16:17:53 <@moralcode:fedora.im> having edited Matthew's post the other week, id say having someone new edit an experienced writers post could be good since relatively few changes are likely needed
2024-11-06 16:17:55 <@sumantrom:fedora.im> Yes sure
2024-11-06 16:18:05 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Yaash: Yes, it is 😎 If you want to try your hand at editing an article. We have some guidelines about how to do it. Also, two weeks ago, we had a video session that walked through the process start to finish. I can share that with you too.
2024-11-06 16:18:06 <@sumantrom:fedora.im> When do you need this published?
2024-11-06 16:18:27 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Yaash: Would you want to try editing the Infra & RelEng article to publish next week?
2024-11-06 16:18:39 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Sumantro Mukherjee: Either Thursday (tomorrow), or on Monday, I think.
2024-11-06 16:18:53 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> yeah sure :D
2024-11-06 16:18:59 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Adrian Edwards (use @irradiated_lemming:matrix.org): +1, and Zlopez is experienced 😀
2024-11-06 16:19:18 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Awesome! So, we have our editors for our article queue 🥳
2024-11-06 16:19:24 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Thank you Sumantro Mukherjee and Yaash!
2024-11-06 16:19:34 <@sumantrom:fedora.im> I can review this by tomorrow my first half 
2024-11-06 16:19:37 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Next, we will figure out the timeline for the publishing schedile.
2024-11-06 16:19:43 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Next, we will figure out the timeline for the publishing schedule.

2024-11-06 16:21:10 <@jflory7:fedora.im> OK. So, since we only have two articles, this is not so much.
2024-11-06 16:21:26 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Sumantro Mukherjee: If the first half of your day tomorrow works, do you think 08:00 UTC is a realistic target for tomorrow?
2024-11-06 16:21:38 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I don't want it to be a crunch if it does not have to be, but I leave the call up to you :)
2024-11-06 16:22:20 <@sumantrom:fedora.im> 0800 is realistic
2024-11-06 16:22:36 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Yaash: As for your article, I think Thursday, 14 November would be good. This gives you about one week and one more roundtable to get feedback before the article is published. What do you think about that? Is it enough time for you?
2024-11-06 16:22:52 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Yaash: Some helpful info about editing can be found here: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/editor-guidelines/
2024-11-06 16:22:57 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Sumantro Mukherjee: Excellent. Thank you sir.

2024-11-06 16:29:02 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> sooo, as an editor 
2024-11-06 16:29:54 <@moralcode:fedora.im> as an editor you help provide a sanity check and ensure the article meets the guidelines for publishing. you'll also schedule when it goes live
2024-11-06 16:30:03 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> 
2024-11-06 16:30:03 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> and im supposed to edit the article 
2024-11-06 16:30:03 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> i noticed it will be "infra and relend by zlopez" edited by Yaash
2024-11-06 16:30:03 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> in the above msgs 
2024-11-06 16:30:03 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> 
2024-11-06 16:30:03 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> so i assumed zlopez going to write the article 
2024-11-06 16:30:03 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> is that wat it means?
2024-11-06 16:30:16 <@moralcode:fedora.im> yep pretty much
2024-11-06 16:30:27 <@thisisyaash:fedora.im> oh, i see
2024-11-06 16:30:32 <@moralcode:fedora.im> the article is already written and the preview is here: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/review-publish-infra-releng-quarterly-update-q3/133882
2024-11-06 16:30:48 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Yaash: This is a good reminder that I need to give you editor permissions in the CommBlog.
2024-11-06 16:30:51 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Let me do that now.
2024-11-06 16:31:02 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Use your powers for good :)
2024-11-06 16:31:19 <@moralcode:fedora.im> if youre signed into the comminity blog wordpress site as an editor you should be able to go to the backend of that page and edit the contents (justin will give you access)

2024-11-06 16:32:32 <@jflory7:fedora.im> This is like the sacred book for the CommBlog :) https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/editor-guidelines/
2024-11-06 16:32:52 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Follow these steps and you should be fine!

2024-11-06 16:34:39 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info Administrative decisions to content, organization, and strategy. This is not about articles but about structure and organization of the CommBlog itself.
2024-11-06 16:35:26 <@jflory7:fedora.im> So, I have a longstanding topic that I want to talk about our old queue of drafts, and maybe work on cleaning up the old articles. But… I am not sure if today is the day or not for this. We have some editors with their hands full already, and then for those of us without articles to edit, we have a lot going on already.
2024-11-06 16:35:38 <@jflory7:fedora.im> So, I propose we skip this topic and go to open floor.
