16:14:42

It is a US holiday week, some of our EMEA folks are out sick, and the APAC folks might be signed off for the night. So it might just be us for now!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:14:57

I think it is good to check in on the new proposal and look at publishing.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:15:10

I could work on a featured image for the post. I forgot if one is ready or not already.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:15:21

Are there any other topics for roundtable today?

<@Zlopez:matrix.org>

16:18:04

Here is the link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=14278&action=edit

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:18:25

Zlopez++ for helping get this published: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/review-publish-infra-releng-quarterly-update-q3/133882/6

<@zodbot:fedora.im>

16:18:27

jflory7 has already given cookies to zlopez during the F41 timeframe

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:18:32

Thanks!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:18:38

I don't see new requests for articles to edit.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:18:43

So we can just cover this one topic.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:18:51

!info Present: @jflory7 @zlopez

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:19:32

!topic Proposal discussion: Migrating the CommBlog to a new Fedora Discussion category

<@Zlopez:matrix.org>

16:19:49

I was the one submitting it, so I just helped with the publishing, the actual review was done by @thisisyaash:fedora.im I think

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:19:59

Zlopez: Could you share the public preview link here?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:20:09

I don't know if you have unsaved edits.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:20:19

Yaash++ Nice work and kudos on the editing!

<@zodbot:fedora.im>

16:20:21

jflory7 gave a cookie to thisisyaash. They now have 5 cookies, 2 of which were obtained in the Fedora 41 release cycle

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:20:29

Zlopez: Thanks for helping get it out the door :)

<@Zlopez:matrix.org>

16:20:56

Here it is https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/?p=14278&preview=1&_ppp=285b0892c0

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:21:32

I did have some specific revisions to suggest before publishing this.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:21:39

I have been thinking about the workflow and how to make it successful.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:21:46

Here are some specific ideas.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:22:13

1. Make the article title more direct, so mention something like "Proposal to move Community Blog to Fedora Discussion" so it is immediately obvious to reader what the article is suggesting.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:22:41

2. Make the proposal a new Fedora Discussion _category_, not a tag, to make the curated topic of news easier to discover and separate from Project Discussion and Ask Fedora content.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:23:03

3. Identify a new team of content curators to help us in collecting content to publish in Fedora News category on Fedora Discussion.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:23:04

~ fin ~

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:23:12

What do you think of these three additions, Zlopez?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:24:02

My motivation for #2 is that I find the tag-based system for Fedora Discussion difficult to navigate. And I think there is a significant advantage of creating a top-level category that represents Fedora news at the top-level.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:24:11

Having #3 makes the curated category more useful.

<@Zlopez:matrix.org>

16:24:53

I agree with all 3 points

<@Zlopez:matrix.org>

16:25:07

The category will be much easier to find

<@Zlopez:matrix.org>

16:25:26

Let me change the title right now

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:25:35

Super.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:25:48

I think with these more specific additions, it is ready for wider community input.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:26:03

I know Aoife had some feelings about this, and I want to make sure that she and others have time to give their feedback too.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:26:18

You were right to take this approach first Zlopez and start a wider discussion about it first :)

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:26:38

So, with the additions of points #1-3, I am +1 to publish

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:26:45

But probably better to publish next week

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:27:07

With the US holiday this week, the Americans are going to be in a food coma from Thursday onward. 😝

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:27:29

Next Monday or Tuesday would be a good target date. And I can come up with a quick featured image.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:27:33

WDYT Zlopez?

<@Zlopez:matrix.org>

16:29:30

I already added #1 and #2

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:31:09

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:31:31

Awesome. I am happy to publish on Monday, just so the word gets out a little sooner than later

<@Zlopez:matrix.org>

16:31:31

I will address the #3 now and we can schedule it

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:31:37

Perfect.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:32:05

!action @zlopez Make additions to CommBlog proposal for Fedora Discussion and schedule for Monday, 2 December

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:32:16

!action @jflory7 Create featured image for CommBlog proposal to Fedora Discussion

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:32:31

Honestly I think that sorts us for topics today.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:32:35

Is there anything else to cover?

<@Zlopez:matrix.org>

16:33:38

So it should be updated, I just added few more words to the move itself

<@Zlopez:matrix.org>

16:33:47

And changed the title

<@Zlopez:matrix.org>

16:37:01

I don't have anything else for today

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:37:34

Thanks for tackling this.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:37:48

Oh, maybe mention at the end, "and if you want to help as a curator, reply to this topic" etc etc

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:37:52

Some kind of call to action :)

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:37:56

But just a minor tweak :)

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:38:03

The rest looks great. Let's schedule it for Monday.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:38:07

I'll add the featured image soon.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:38:12

And we can wrap the meeting here.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:38:19

Thanks so much for your efforts here Zlopez! 🙏

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

16:38:24

And have a great rest of your week :)

<@jflory7:fedora.im>
