I'm working from MIT's campus today, sitting in Walter Bender's office on Mass Ave. 15:12:40 We're working on one page release notes and what we really need is a list of features that need highlighted, anyone think they can help here? 15:15:02 DEiben: I'd recommend popping into #fedora-mktg - i can help you with that question there. 15:16:48 We're working on a spin page for SoaS and have some questions on the context for the page, specifically the support section. Is there someone that could help with that? 15:18:43 johnsog: what's your question? 15:21:37 ke4qqq: I saw that there is a support section on the wiki page and I was wondering if what is listed there is what the spin page should have as well? 15:21:56 johnsog: link to the wiki page you are referring to? 15:22:28 ke4qqq: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Sugar_on_a_Stick#Sugar_on_a_Stick 15:24:02 would someone walk me through changing the text on a webpage? 15:24:08 morinoa: sure 15:24:14 johnsog: yeah that looks good 15:24:43 ke4qqq: ok thank you 15:24:57 ke4qqq: mel showed us how to open and save the file as a text file, and then change the words, but when I try to open it in a browser the text is not changed 15:25:12 maybe I've got it wrong, could we go from the beginning? 15:25:14 morinoa: whats the page you are trying to change 15:26:28 I tried to change the instructions for the desgin spins page. It doesn't matter really what I try to change, I just want to get the hang of it. Maybe we could work with the design templates? idk where those are though 15:26:36 ok 15:26:47 so you have a fas account right? 15:26:52 .fasinfo morinoa 15:26:55 ke4qqq: User "morinoa" doesn't exist 15:27:01 idk what is a fas account? 15:27:42 have you gone to admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts and created an account - I think you'll have to have one to get your edits to take 15:27:48 mchua: ^^ 15:27:59 mchua: did you have them do that so they had edit perms on wiki? 15:28:40 I think I only joined a mailing list, but I'm not sure if we got permission for an account that or not 15:29:39 morinoa: You'll still need to make an FAS account (at the link ke4qqq just put above) to get wiki edit access. 15:29:45 Mailing list signup is separate from that. 15:29:58 ke4qqq: Not everyone has a FAS account yet. 15:30:17 mchua: ok I'll do that now 15:30:32 morinoa: I can walk you through signing up as well - but doubtyou need that. You do need to have the account and 'sign' the CLA but that's about it 15:32:02 morinoa: it sounds like you guys may want to ask jadudm for a wiki tutorial. 15:42:16 ke4qqq: Ok, so I have an account, and I signed the CLA, step two? 15:42:35 morinoa: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wiki may be a helpful resource on how to get started with wiki editing. 15:42:41 morinoa: go to the wiki page you want to edit 15:42:42 jadudm: Are you/Darren around? 15:42:55 jadudm: I think some local buffering on wiki editing might be super helpful right now 15:43:04 morinoa: click the "Log in" link in the upper right corner 15:43:27 put your creds in - and click "Log in" 15:43:37 beep beep beep 15:43:54 is someone doing wiki editing? 15:44:09 someone wants to, does that count? 15:44:13 sure 15:44:14 :) 15:44:18 is that morinoa 15:44:19 ? 15:44:21 morinoa and company 15:44:22 yes 15:44:26 she's right here. 15:44:29 :D 15:44:31 I'm a riot! 15:44:41 kk - we'll do some ninja wiki training. 15:44:44 I am right here. talking behind my back doen't quite work when I can see what you type lol 15:44:48 jk 15:45:16 morinoa: just wait til you have 50 channels open and can't watch them all at once..... lol your ears start burning and you don't know why :) 15:59:36 oh... can't wait 15:59:39 lol 16:00:45 ke4qqq: matt helped me learn how to edit my user page wiki for my fas account. I want to use it to create my content for the potential design spin webpage so that other can see ti and make comments. good plan? 16:01:04 yes very good plan 16:01:30 ke4qqq: great! Now all I need to do is play around on the fedora design spin so I can figure out some content 16:01:50 morinoa: so I saw your blogpost - did you ever get that working?? 16:02:09 if not, let me know when you have some time and we'll work to get something going for you 16:02:53 jadudm: did you see the vm probs?? the collective 'wisdom' from afar is that it might be a memory issue....but.... we don't know. 16:03:15 ke4qqq: here's another question for you, I had a bug last week when I tried to install the design spin to my virtual box. I haven't gotten a chance to do anything about it, but I saw your posts 16:03:41 morinoa: yeah so my first question is - what amount of RAM have you allocated to that VM? 16:03:54 ke4qqq: could we work on that at like 1? 16:04:13 morinoa: yep works for me - just ping me or anyone else around 16:04:21 we'll get you squared away 16:07:32 I have a VM problem.. The fedora live cd loads, but when it is supposed to load the desktop it only shows a black screen.. any help? 16:07:40 sdziallas: see my /msg? 16:07:54 I 16:07:57 brankf: what VM software are you using? 16:07:58 ke4qqq: reply incoming ;) 16:08:03 sdziallas: thanks 16:08:38 I've been having the same problems with fedora loading on my computer (same as brankf) if someone could let me know too it be nice. 16:09:08 sdziallas: can you address brankf and kohnem (and graduate and all of that too) while I correct my mistake 16:09:32 * sdziallas looks above 16:10:07 brankf, kohnenm: ayup - so which VM software are you using, and which kind of Fedora (what mchua distributed? something else?) 16:10:32 yeah the beta.. and i'm using virtualbox, the newest secure version 16:10:38 ohhh yeah - was there a video bug at one point with one of the beta RC 16:10:58 ke4qqq: actually our design spin group will be meeting at 7:30 tonight, and we will be trying to catch everyone up to spped with virtual box, installing the spin, and getting fas accounts, would you be available? 16:11:25 brankf: the beta that got released today or what Mel distributed? 16:11:48 what Mel distributed, i am currently downloading the dvd version to see if that will fix my problem 16:11:50 mel's 16:11:56 ah, okay! 16:11:59 brankf: I'm available at 7:30pm today. What are you trying to do? 16:12:00 morinoa: I will be - but you should know that I am aesthetically incompetent 16:12:07 * mchua reads up 16:12:09 and design as well :) 16:12:09 ke4qqq: heh, my fault for causing incoherent version numbers ;) 16:12:25 brankf: Actually, getting the VM to work - that's something that Matt and Darren are better equipped to handle locally. 16:12:28 ke4qqq: haha that's not a problem, we've got the aesthetics down, just none of the tech parts 16:12:40 It may be that the livecds won't work on some computers - not enough RAM, etc. 16:13:08 yeah i worked with matt briefly but the problem still exists.. i'm going to try to download the beta and burn the iso and run it to see what happens 16:13:09 #task ke4qqq to find out what perms needed to commit to s.fp.o 16:13:20 ill do my best to be back at 7:30 after our baseball game 16:13:22 or someone who is chair repeat that #task? 16:13:34 mchua: okay I'll talk to Matt and see if he can help, thanks. 16:14:23 .any ricky 16:14:23 ke4qqq: I have not seen ricky. 16:15:03 morinoa: The SoaS spin - I think that starting the conversation on the mailing list (if you have the 3 things we discussed on Thursday night) is more important than getting the spin to run in a VM right now. 16:15:44 morinoa: A running VM is not a prerequistite for starting that conversation, and Matt and Darren can help you get the VM running anytime, whereas we folks in the community can't do *anything* to help y'all until you start that conversation on-list. 16:15:49 ok thanks mel 16:19:36 ok 16:19:38 we're out for now 16:19:43 more later, mel... we're going to have to run 16:19:53 #endmeeting
