<@nishachandila:matrix.org>

12:04:25

!topic Open floor

<@nishachandila:matrix.org>

12:04:53

any questions

<@misc:ephaone.org>

12:04:57

so, I am wondering if anyone have a idea to unblock: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/review-publish-call-for-volunteers-regarding-the-fedora-username-change-project/150185

<@misc:ephaone.org>

12:05:09

(a idea that is not "you are admin on the blog, just force publish")

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

12:05:25

maybe Justin Wheeler

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:05:47

Ahhh CommBlog review? 😅

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:06:08

I'm not sure who is helping with editing now, but maybe we could get Sumantro Mukherjee|off2dinner to help publish it?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:06:19

I'm just spread super thin, but maybe I can try to look at it today

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:06:26

Oh, are you could ask Zlopez

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:07:01

*or you could

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:07:26

He has helped with them before

<@misc:ephaone.org>

12:09:23

I guess I will just abuse my powers, if people are spread too thin to make a review

<@nhanlon:beeper.com>

12:10:07

my 2c (and not a knock to the idea, it's a good one)... changing usernames is _hard_ from a technical perspective 😕

<@nhanlon:beeper.com>

12:11:15

/me will put it on his list to follow and maybe help with

<@nishachandila:matrix.org>

12:11:47

Today is Fedora social hour do join it

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

12:12:45

<@nishachandila:matrix.org>

12:13:23
