2026-04-02 10:06:07 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Sorry for the late start. Lost track of time. 
2026-04-02 10:06:13 <@jflory7:fedora.im> How are folks doing today? 
2026-04-02 10:06:29 <@ekidney:matrix.org> no worries!
2026-04-02 10:06:43 <@jflory7:fedora.im> OMG yaaaaaaaasssssss
2026-04-02 10:07:01 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Three cheers to that 😂 
2026-04-02 10:07:14 <@jflory7:fedora.im> So, I confess that I have not had any time to catch up since the migration 
2026-04-02 10:07:15 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> !hi
2026-04-02 10:07:19 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I know there are lots of new tickets

2026-04-02 10:07:25 <@ekidney:matrix.org> also having a hectic week 😆
2026-04-02 10:07:29 <@jflory7:fedora.im> What should we prioritize for discussion today? 
2026-04-02 10:07:42 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> But boy o boy, the "AIpocalypse" in the Outreachy community application phase is real.
2026-04-02 10:07:42 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> For the first time ever, it has me discouraged from doing any mentorship :*(
2026-04-02 10:07:47 <@ekidney:matrix.org> i'm also having a hectic week 😆
2026-04-02 10:07:53 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Also, [@suve:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/@suve:matrix.org), did you join this Matrix room for this meeting and you have a ticket you want an update on? 
2026-04-02 10:08:22 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> The Fedora Council Strategy Summit 2026 action items can wait, to be honest.
2026-04-02 10:08:22 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> We have up until Flock 2026 to clear them so anything else can take priority.
2026-04-02 10:08:52 <@jflory7:fedora.im> OK, good to know. Which tickets should take priority? 
2026-04-02 10:09:00 <@jflory7:fedora.im> The last time I saw our ticket queue was on GitLab 
2026-04-02 10:09:26 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> good time to set up a project board on fogrejo/mindshare then? 🙂
2026-04-02 10:09:32 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> good time to set up a project board on forgejo/mindshare then? 🙂
2026-04-02 10:09:50 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Oh btw, thank you for moving us over from GitLab! 
2026-04-02 10:09:57 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> (tbh I am not serious here, for the way we work the ticket queue is enough)
2026-04-02 10:10:36 <@suve:matrix.org> Yeah, wanted to ask if I could get an update re/PIWO (#95), that one was originally discussed in January and then fell of the radar
2026-04-02 10:10:37 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Justin Wheeler: can we focus on closing or following up on the older event tickets? 
2026-04-02 10:11:24 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Gwmngilfen++
2026-04-02 10:11:25 <@zodbot:fedora.im> jflory7 has already given cookies to gwmngilfen during the F43 timeframe
2026-04-02 10:11:51 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> We should definitely discuss about this first.
2026-04-02 10:11:51 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> This seems scheduled for 30th May, one of the more earlier things to get to. 
2026-04-02 10:11:55 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> it wasn't especially hard, props to the Forgejo twam for making migrations easy 🙂
2026-04-02 10:11:57 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I mean, yeah actually. Something simple for a meeting planning board would be useful. We don't need to over-engineer anything but I do think a project board for the Mindshare org and meeting planning would be helpful
2026-04-02 10:12:00 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> it wasn't especially hard, props to the Forgejo team for making migrations easy 🙂
2026-04-02 10:12:18 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Good to know! Then, we will cover this ticket.
2026-04-02 10:13:23 <@jflory7:fedora.im> (But I know it won't prompt me again for a while)
2026-04-02 10:14:16 <@jflory7:fedora.im> OK, so… tickets #95, #104, #105…

2026-04-02 10:18:04 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Works!
2026-04-02 10:18:38 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> For at least one day, unless you switch off your laptop but if not, for a long while ;)
2026-04-02 10:18:56 <@jflory7:fedora.im> OK, great. Then… here we go!
2026-04-02 10:19:03 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Oh, maybe a quick thing---

2026-04-02 10:19:16 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Anyone have anything worth sharing or noting?
2026-04-02 10:19:49 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info Q1 is now officially over. We are beginning Q2. From a budget perspective, this means we now have access to new funding that is budgeted for this quarter.
2026-04-02 10:20:02 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> We could perhaps record our move from GitLab to Fedora Forge, but apart from that nothing else from my end.
2026-04-02 10:20:34 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info We officially moved from GitLab to Forgejo! Our GitLab workflow is deprecated. From this point forward, the Fedora Mindshare Committee will exclusively use Forgejo as our new home.
2026-04-02 10:21:03 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I'd mention the Fedora release party but I don't know what is happening here at the moment
2026-04-02 10:21:42 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info "After a full year of preparation, the Community Linux Engineering (CLE) team is excited to announce that Fedora Forge, powered by Forgejo, is ready for use! We are proud of this modern Open Source platform and what it means for the future of Fedora Infrastructure. While pagure.io has been a vital part of our community for many years, the time has come to retire our homegrown forge and transition to this powerful new tool."

2026-04-02 10:23:48 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info After an extended period of delay, the Fedora Code of Conduct Committee is publishing our 2023, 2024, and 2025 annual reports. These reports are a reflection of the case-load that the Committee received during these years, as well as transparency into an indication of actions we took during the year. 2023 is out now, 2024 and 2025 are coming very soon.

2026-04-02 10:24:04 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Let's hit the tickets
2026-04-02 10:24:34 <@jflory7:fedora.im> (I also followed up on the SCaLE ticket and also sent the organizers an email since I don't think they are on Forge yet)

2026-04-02 10:25:56 <@jflory7:fedora.im> suve: Alright! You are up first 😩 
2026-04-02 10:25:59 <@jflory7:fedora.im> suve: Alright! You are up first 😄
2026-04-02 10:26:37 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Oh!
2026-04-02 10:27:27 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> #95 seems an easy +1, adding mine to the existing ones 🙂
2026-04-02 10:28:15 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Agreed.
2026-04-02 10:29:12 <@jflory7:fedora.im> So, Emma Kidney and Luis Bazan voted here already too
2026-04-02 10:29:39 <@jflory7:fedora.im> And we discussed this before in January. As suve said, seems like it just got buried in the Q1 event noise.
2026-04-02 10:29:44 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I don't even think there is much to discuss here…
2026-04-02 10:29:53 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I think this is just a rubber-stamp 🙂 
2026-04-02 10:30:18 <@jflory7:fedora.im> suve: I'll update the ticket to indicate the approval. However, it is your responsibility to read the docs on reimbursements and make sure you understand this process. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/mindshare-committee/policy/reimbursements/
2026-04-02 10:30:34 <@jflory7:fedora.im> suve: Following this process is essential for making sure that you are reimbursed in a timely manner after the event concludes.
2026-04-02 10:31:33 <@jflory7:fedora.im> suve: Do you have any questions for us?
2026-04-02 10:33:19 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I'll give suve a minute to ACK, and write an `!info` and `!agreed` in the meantime
2026-04-02 10:33:20 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> The ticket does seem to have been opened quite a long time back. Is it something that's fine or would we want the tickets to be opened a little closer to the actual respective commencement dates?
2026-04-02 10:33:46 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> i would say earlier is better where funding is concerned
2026-04-02 10:34:12 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> q1 has been unusual with migrations and suchlike. lets see if Forgejo helps us do better before we mess with policy
2026-04-02 10:34:21 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info This ticket was first discussed in January. It received some votes then, but in the hectic pace of Q1 events, we may have forgotten to follow up, or we had planned to follow up once Q2 began. We are now in Q2, which is when this event is happening. A quick review since our last discussion in January indicates nothing has changed.
2026-04-02 10:34:43 <@suve:matrix.org> No, think I'm okay, especially since I have a second ticket that got approved recently, so I've been reading up on the reimbursement and swag request process already.
2026-04-02 10:35:05 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !agreed Ticket #95 approved for P.I.W.O. Poznań Free Software Fest in Poznań, Poland, on 30 May 2026. Approved budget of $150 USD.
2026-04-02 10:35:55 <@jflory7:fedora.im> OK, super! Well, you have our rubber-stamp now 🙂 Thanks for your interest in organizing the event! Let us know if we can do anything else to help out.
2026-04-02 10:36:02 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Good luck! 🚀
2026-04-02 10:36:07 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Let's move to the next ticket.
2026-04-02 10:36:08 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> This seems to have been opened back in Jan and would take place in May (i.e. 4-5 months of difference). The reason why I inquire about the triaging time is because the earlybirdness of the DevConf.IN 2026 ticket, which was opened back in Nov and took place in Feb (i.e. 3-4 months of difference) was discouraged. 
2026-04-02 10:36:41 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Akashdeep Dhar: Opening early is not an issue, but a ticket should be opened only when it is ready for a vote
2026-04-02 10:36:56 <@jflory7:fedora.im> The event proposal should be ready/complete by the time a ticket is opemned
2026-04-02 10:36:59 <@jflory7:fedora.im> The event proposal should be ready/complete by the time a ticket is opened
2026-04-02 10:37:09 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Also, small events are considerably less administrative backoffice work than Medium and Large Events
2026-04-02 10:37:36 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !topic Ticket #104: Migrate to Forgejo 
2026-04-02 10:37:39 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Agreed. Q1 always happens to be the one with a lot of events taking place, and with limited visibility on the actual budgeting available in that year. 
2026-04-02 10:37:42 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !link https://forge.fedoraproject.org/mindshare/tickets/issues/104
2026-04-02 10:37:56 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> afk a few
2026-04-02 10:38:08 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I triaged this ticket because I think it is an easy close 🙂 
2026-04-02 10:38:15 <@jflory7:fedora.im> But I did want to verify that we are fully ported over
2026-04-02 10:38:24 <@jflory7:fedora.im> From the ticket text:
2026-04-02 10:38:33 <@jflory7:fedora.im> > - The agreed-upon target deadline for this migration is February 27, 2026.
2026-04-02 10:38:33 <@jflory7:fedora.im> > - Migrate the home repository from GitLab to the tickets repository on Forgejo.
2026-04-02 10:38:33 <@jflory7:fedora.im> > - Migrate the docs repository from GitLab to the docs repository on Forgejo.
2026-04-02 10:38:33 <@jflory7:fedora.im> > - Update event request issue templates for events to link out to past event reports, if available.
2026-04-02 10:38:33 <@jflory7:fedora.im> > - @gwmngilfen has volunteered to handle the migration via the web UI.
2026-04-02 10:38:46 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> True. There's not much logistics to be taken care of when it comes to PIWO versus there are when more than one person in involved in a larger Fedora Project presence in general. 
2026-04-02 10:38:50 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Other than the deadline (which shifted from matters out of our control), I think we have done it all.
2026-04-02 10:39:27 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Any objections to closing out?
2026-04-02 10:39:37 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Are we calling Mission Forgejo a success? 🚀
2026-04-02 10:39:51 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Yass! 🎉
2026-04-02 10:40:02 <@jflory7:fedora.im> 🎆

2026-04-02 10:40:17 <@jflory7:fedora.im> 💝
2026-04-02 10:40:34 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Lots of love for this, because I really love seeing workflows move into Forgejo
2026-04-02 10:40:49 <@jflory7:fedora.im> And it was something that took maybe minutes to do, but months if not years of work to get us to this point 🙂 
2026-04-02 10:41:01 <@jflory7:fedora.im> So, this is a really happy thing to see.
2026-04-02 10:41:20 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Thanks Gwmngilfen for doing the actual work of migrating, and Akashdeep Dhar and the Forge Team members for the work on the migration workflow
2026-04-02 10:41:32 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Oh, wait
2026-04-02 10:41:40 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Gwmngilfen: Is everything archived on GitLab now?
2026-04-02 10:41:46 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I thought I remembered you saying something about that
2026-04-02 10:41:56 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I just wondered whether folks might check GitLab for updates still
2026-04-02 10:41:58 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> He did that this morning I think when 🇵🇱 | Nik Nikovsky [sickness round 2 it seems like] asked the same question ;P
2026-04-02 10:42:04 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Oh super
2026-04-02 10:42:08 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I thought I remember seeing that
2026-04-02 10:42:12 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> back
2026-04-02 10:42:14 <@jflory7:fedora.im> But my brain is so sleepy right now
2026-04-02 10:42:23 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> yes, both repos are archived with updated readmes
2026-04-02 10:42:32 <@zodbot:fedora.im> jflory7 has already given cookies to gwmngilfen during the F43 timeframe
2026-04-02 10:42:41 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> It's what 6 or 7 at your end? 
2026-04-02 10:42:44 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> although I believe I got a ticket comment email from Christian yesterday, not sure how that happened 🤔
2026-04-02 10:42:50 <@zodbot:fedora.im> ekidney has already given cookies to gwmngilfen during the F43 timeframe
2026-04-02 10:43:08 <@zodbot:fedora.im> t0xic0der has already given cookies to gwmngilfen during the F43 timeframe
2026-04-02 10:43:11 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info We quickly reviewed the ticket to verified that we have completed all of the necessary tasks for a full migration from GitLab to Forgejo. The repos have been migrated, the GitLab repos archived and redirected to Forge..
2026-04-02 10:43:38 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !agreed We concur, the Forgejo migration was a success! From this point forward, the Committee is Forgejo-exclusive for our workflow.
2026-04-02 10:43:45 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I think that's it. Let's do the last ticket.
2026-04-02 10:44:08 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Akashdeep Dhar: I think we will have time for open floor -- maybe a TL;DNR on the tickets you just opened would be helpful as a meeting closer. Telling you know so you have a bit of time to think/type it out 🙂

2026-04-02 10:44:27 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !link https://forge.fedoraproject.org/mindshare/tickets/issues/105
2026-04-02 10:44:39 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Err, s/Topic/Ticket/ but you get the idea 🙂 
2026-04-02 10:44:58 <@jflory7:fedora.im> So, this one is really interesting!
2026-04-02 10:45:01 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Have folks had a chance to read?
2026-04-02 10:45:08 <@jflory7:fedora.im> This is about a media sponsorship for Linux App Summit.
2026-04-02 10:45:31 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I did not see Sri's last comment: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/mindshare/tickets/issues/105#issuecomment-597275
2026-04-02 10:45:32 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Nope, sorry, reading now...
2026-04-02 10:45:38 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> i skimmed, whats the ask from us?
2026-04-02 10:46:05 <@jflory7:fedora.im> "We are looking for a partner who can help build mindshare about LAS. One of the challenges of LAS is building the kind of outreach needed to bring people to the conference. So we would be looking for content that would engage your audience to think about apps on linux and inspiring them to register and attend LAS. As such, we are also looking for building our media channels - getting more followers on bluesky and mastodon.
2026-04-02 10:46:05 <@jflory7:fedora.im> We could also contribute articles on the nature of what would make a successful app platform on Linux. The themes of digital sovereignty and AI and how it applies to applications are good stories especially by the people involved in writing apps."
2026-04-02 10:46:05 <@jflory7:fedora.im> 
2026-04-02 10:46:07 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Or are we simply to sponsor their event for some "advertisement"?
2026-04-02 10:46:07 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Do we have folks from our side who can drive conversations there?
2026-04-02 10:46:40 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> when i say "ask", I mean - are you asking us to approve the idea, or volunteer for writing?
2026-04-02 10:46:51 <@jflory7:fedora.im> We have discussed it a bit in the Fedora Council. Peter Boy (ServerWG, Docs) and bookwar are both in Germany, and Peter was just asking me about what our plan was for LAS, since we had talked about trying to send some Council folks who already happen to be in Germany.
2026-04-02 10:47:23 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I don't know for sure that we can send folks there, but we were going to try for low-cost attendance from folks in the region
2026-04-02 10:47:26 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> The CFP deadline seems to have passed.
2026-04-02 10:47:26 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> This is something Sri mentioned of so I am not sure just how actionable this is at the moment,.
2026-04-02 10:47:34 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> > Our CfP is almost ending so a few posts about getting their talks in between now. As well, would be good to promote our keynote speaker, our speakers at least those who you find interesting. (eg if they are fedora members etc)
2026-04-02 10:47:39 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I know for some of us in the US, it is the time of RH Summit, so it is bad timing for a few folks like me and Jef
2026-04-02 10:48:05 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Maybe the CFP has closed.
2026-04-02 10:48:13 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Here's hoping that would end up being a separate ticket.
2026-04-02 10:48:13 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> That makes sense. 
2026-04-02 10:48:18 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Good question 🙂 I don't think we can approve it without knowing who will do the work
2026-04-02 10:48:22 <@jflory7:fedora.im> This seems like a pre-req
2026-04-02 10:48:26 <@jflory7:fedora.im> We don't get many tickets like this
2026-04-02 10:48:27 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> fair
2026-04-02 10:48:28 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> It says March 23rd 2026 was the deadline.
2026-04-02 10:48:28 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> It has. 
2026-04-02 10:48:31 <@jflory7:fedora.im> But I think this is a good opportunity
2026-04-02 10:48:43 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> I just wished that we would have received it sooner.
2026-04-02 10:48:54 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> agreed, I like the concept, I can +1 it in principle, but I have no cycles for writing
2026-04-02 10:49:23 <@jflory7:fedora.im> This was an email to sponsors@fp.o that I redirected toward Mindshare
2026-04-02 10:49:34 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> But in all fairness, it is difficult for folks from outside the Fedora Project to find us.
2026-04-02 10:49:34 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Sri reached out to us in the right place so maybe if not for this year, we could see if there is something for us in there for the years to come?
2026-04-02 10:49:43 <@jflory7:fedora.im> The media sponsorship was something I thought up since we did use to do those, and I likely don't have any real sponsor money to give right now
2026-04-02 10:50:02 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> TIL we have that email address too. (Scratches chin)
2026-04-02 10:50:24 <@jflory7:fedora.im> It can be confusing, but that email is for Flock sponsorship. (Sometimes we get people emailing there about infrastructure and hardware.)
2026-04-02 10:50:57 <@jflory7:fedora.im> (Or LAS 😄)
2026-04-02 10:51:17 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Oooh, if we could take the requirement and then check with our documentation folks, or with the folks looking into the Digital Ambassadorship side of things (because I see that is where it fits the best), we could definitely facilitate the work instead of doing it ourselves.
2026-04-02 10:51:23 <@jflory7:fedora.im> This ticket is not about travel or getting to the event, but just some media promotion
2026-04-02 10:51:30 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Social media, maybe a Fedora Magazine article or two
2026-04-02 10:51:54 <@jflory7:fedora.im> This is where having the Marketing voice on Mindshare helps. But I also know Joseph is taking a few steps back from Fedora and retiring from his role as lead of the Marketing Team
2026-04-02 10:51:56 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> right, this feels like something we'd want Magazine input on
2026-04-02 10:52:10 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> well, Marketing, yes
2026-04-02 10:52:16 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> If I understand correctly, that means that we could still action things, for this iteration of the event
2026-04-02 10:52:16 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> After all, there is no difficult logistics to take care of etc.
2026-04-02 10:52:22 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I think the Magazine is a "yes" but they are the editors, not the authors
2026-04-02 10:52:41 <@jflory7:fedora.im> (I think on speak on your behalf here GLB and rlengland, in case you are reading later 😉 
2026-04-02 10:52:48 <@jflory7:fedora.im> (I think on speak on your behalf here GLB and rlengland, in case you are reading later 😉)
2026-04-02 10:52:58 <@jflory7:fedora.im> So, here is what I think—
2026-04-02 10:53:09 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Ahh I see. Sad to hear that but more power to him for wherever he heads next ♥️
2026-04-02 10:53:13 <@jflory7:fedora.im> We can do this, but we need a ghost-writer to do the content, since we are down on our Marketing Team
2026-04-02 10:53:26 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> right. we could approve the *concept* and move forward on some concrete ideas for articles/media
2026-04-02 10:53:32 <@jflory7:fedora.im> "We could also contribute articles on the nature of what would make a successful app platform on Linux. The themes of digital sovereignty and AI and how it applies to applications are good stories especially by the people involved in writing apps."
2026-04-02 10:53:45 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Maybe let's take a vote on this.
2026-04-02 10:53:53 <@jflory7:fedora.im> One sec. I'll write a `!proposed` and then we take a vote
2026-04-02 10:54:02 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> A part of me wants to task this to our applicants to see what they can churn up ;P
2026-04-02 10:55:31 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !proposed The Fedora Mindshare Committee approves the intent and concept for the media sponsorship of Linux App Summit 2026. Due to the near-term immediacy of this event in May, we request that the requestor/GNOME helps provide base content for us to submit on the Fedora Magazine and Fedora social media channels. We will promote on the Fedora Magazine, Mastodon, LinkedIn, and possibly Instagram.

2026-04-02 10:56:22 <@jflory7:fedora.im> OK, that covers it – but I do want to quickly touch on that open floor 😄 
2026-04-02 10:56:28 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Anything else to add here before changing over?
2026-04-02 10:56:37 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> this feels like a opportunity to get people talking, eg around Flatpaks etc. definitely some scope
2026-04-02 10:56:42 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Obviously some follow-up is needed, I'll also email the ticket-opener to let them know we moved over from GitLab to Forge
2026-04-02 10:56:45 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> but we can discuss ideas on-ticket
2026-04-02 10:56:57 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !action @jflory7 Email Sri to inform him of the ticket migration from GitLab to Forgejo
2026-04-02 10:57:10 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Agreed
2026-04-02 10:57:17 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Jef Spaleta will be happy 😄

2026-04-02 10:57:33 <@jflory7:fedora.im> (Is that an American-ism slang?)
2026-04-02 10:57:53 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Akashdeep Dhar: Want to do a lightning round update on what folks should know about your new tickets? Feel free to write it out or use `!info` directly too.
2026-04-02 10:57:58 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Sure
