Hey Roseline Bassey!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:38:05

Good afternoon :)

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:38:20

Good morning to you!

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:38:31

Good morning to you!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:39:04

I am not sure if Aoife Moloney is around right now

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:39:08

It might just be the two of us.

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:39:30

Yep, it seems so

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:40:14

OK. So, for today's agenda, here is what I am thinking.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:40:54

2. Brainstorming on recruiting more editors for the Community Blog.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:40:54

1. Pending article review.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:40:54

3. Picking a new meeting day/time for the roundtable.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:41:15

I think we should use some of the roundtable time to think about growing our membership of the editors too :)

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:41:36

And #3 would help me so I am not waking up just in time to join this meeting lol

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:41:43

Sound good for an agenda?

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:41:58

Yep, sounds good

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:42:05

Alright. Here we go!

First, an apology from me. I dropped the ball on my articles 😭 But fortunately, today, I think I can redeem myself because my day is not as meeting heavy

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:43:06

Okay

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:43:11

Let's see, I am counting four articles

11:45:28

So, I can take the CPE quarterly review article, like I was supposed to last week. I am already feeling super guilty about it 🫠 Sorry Zlopez for the ridiculous wait time for this. I own that!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:46:02

!action @jflory7 Review, edit, and schedule "CPE Quarterly Update Q2" for Wednesday, 25 September

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:46:09

I did review Adrain's report yesterday though

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:46:22

I am going to do that later this morning.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:46:34

Oh awesome!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:46:47

I spent some time with him 1:1 on it, but I have not reviewed the CommBlog version or worked on a featured image.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:46:52

Do you want to take that one Roseline Bassey?

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:47:17

I had a few suggestions, which I shared with him on the marketing room but I'm not sure he has seen it yet

<@roseline:matrix.org>

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:47:41

Got it. We can follow up later this morning with Adrian Edwards on it 👍️

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:47:53

I think targeting it for next week is good, though.

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:47:55

I'll do.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:48:09

We could do the "Announcing Webhook To Fedora Messaging" on Thursday, and then the DevConf US post next Tuesday.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:48:12

WDYT?

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:48:34

All good.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:48:40

OK, amazing.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:48:57

!action @jflory7 Review, edit, and schedule "Announcing Webhook To Fedora Messaging" for Thursday, 26 September

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:49:26

!action @roseline-bassey Review, edit, and schedule "Laptops, Badges, and a Pelican case of Swag: DevConf Event Report" for Tuesday, 1 October

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:49:37

And then that should clear out the backlog of articles.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:49:39

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:51:17

Hey Adrian!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:51:28

Since you are here, maybe we could chat about about the article feedback Roseline Bassey had for you?

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:51:40

Hey, Adrian 👋

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:52:06

Here is the feedback I see, not sure if there was more:

<@irradiated_lemming:matrix.org>

11:52:09

I must have missed it, is there a link to it?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:52:14

> Aside from that, the report is good, I even learned something new about the old XO PC.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:52:14

> This was a great read. I’ve gone through it and have a few suggestions. Since Fedora Ready is launching soon, it might be better to say "launching soon" instead of "recently launched" in the report, especially if the report will be published before the pending Fedora Ready magazine announcement article. Also, when mentioning the interns, it would be more accurate to credit Roseline Bassey, as Tosin Adesola worked on a different exciting project during her internship.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:52:14

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:52:21

Adrian: ^^

<@irradiated_lemming:matrix.org>

11:52:36

Nvm found it

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:53:19

Adrian: Think you can work on edits before the end of this week? Preferably Thursday evening US Eastern, so Roseline could tackle this and schedule it before the weekend.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:53:22

If it works out that way!

<@irradiated_lemming:matrix.org>

11:53:46

Yeah that works

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:53:53

Super.

<@irradiated_lemming:matrix.org>

11:54:27

Seems like the edits are fairly minor so far, just fixing a name and tense on fedora ready (although I told.people.at the conference it had launched whoops(

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:54:32

!action @moralcode Make edits to DevConf US article by Thursday evening US Eastern. Edits: Fedora Ready "launching soon" instead of "recently launched". Credit Roseline for Fedora Ready as her primary project.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:54:44

Adrian: I think that is alright, it is very nearly almost there :)

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:54:54

OK, I think this covers the author Q&A.

<@irradiated_lemming:matrix.org>

11:55:02

How important is it to make the SEO and grammar bots happy

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:55:44

Adrian: It does help to get a green score with the Yoast SEO scores, but don't feel like you have to re-architect the article to get the scoring right

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:56:01

SEO is probably more important than readability here, and the keyword should likely be "DevConf US"

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:56:27

Ideally, we can get the article to show up in the first page of results for DevConf US in online searches

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:56:37

Moving on, we have only a small amount of time left!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:56:40

!topic Administravia

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:56:44

!info Administrative decisions to content, organization, and strategy. This is not about articles but about structure and organization of the CommBlog itself.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:56:57

I am going to skip the new meeting time discussion, because we can do that async.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:57:06

But I would like to briefly chat on how to recruit more editors.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:57:13

I think we need to grow our numbers :)

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:57:23

yep

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:57:24

I had some ideas on how to do this, but I am curious if y'all have any thoughts too.

<@irradiated_lemming:matrix.org>

11:57:55

Do we have a kind of good first issues, or fed badges integration?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:57:57

Some ideas I had were to run monthly editor training workshops. So once a month, anyone who wants to become an editor could join an audio/video call training, learn how to do it, ask questions, and maybe get assigned to an article if there is one available

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:58:18

Another idea would be to promote our editing queue and roundtable with the #join:fedoraproject.org folks.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:58:30

There is a badge series for authorship on the CommBlog, but not for editing.

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:58:54

sounds good.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:59:25

I could help run the workshop. But I could use help to promote the workshops and advertise them.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:59:41

Roseline Bassey: Does either running the workshop or doing some promo content for the workshops sound interesting to you?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:59:52

I am flexible, I can do either.

<@irradiated_lemming:matrix.org>

12:00:54

*Justin's job description is forever expanding*

<@roseline:matrix.org>

12:01:00

Also, if Adrain is granted editorial permission, that will add to our number👀

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:01:14

Adrian: Do you want to become an editor? :)

<@irradiated_lemming:matrix.org>

12:01:26

__Justin's job description is forever expanding__

<@irradiated_lemming:matrix.org>

12:01:40

*Justin's job description is forever expanding*

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:01:53

lolol. Although TBH, community contribution workshops like this feel more firmly in my job description than… some of the other things I do 🫠

<@irradiated_lemming:matrix.org>

12:02:16

I'm not sure what I'd do with that access given most of my time, until November is already pretty thoroughly accounted for.

<@roseline:matrix.org>

12:02:36

doing promotional content

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:02:36

Fair… I know your time is pretty packed.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:02:45

No pressure.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:02:52

It is okay to say no, trust me on that :P

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:03:07

OK! Awesome. So, we are over time… here is what I am thinking for next steps.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:03:12

I can create two new Rallly polls.

<@irradiated_lemming:matrix.org>

12:03:15

I can read/give feedback on articles and happy to get access if it'll help, but can't promise I'll do anything with it

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:03:23

One for the CommBlog editor roundtable meeting, and another for a CommBlog editor workshop.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:04:10

Roseline Bassey: You can come up with some promo content for the workshop poll. I think we can start with Fedora Discussion and #news:fedoraproject.org for the poll. Once we have a good day/time, then we can do a mini CommBlog article to promote the editor workshop date and time.

<@irradiated_lemming:matrix.org>

12:04:12

I can read/give feedback on articles and happy to get access if it'll help, but can't promise I'll do anything with that access, especially if I'm the gatekeeper of what goes public

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:04:12

WDYT?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:04:57

At the next roundtable, we can make the next steps for the workshop plan.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:06:28

!action @jflory7 Create two new Rallly polls: Community Blog editor roundtable, Community Blog editor training workshop

<@roseline:matrix.org>

12:06:41

Do we really need an article for the workshop?

<@roseline:matrix.org>

12:06:41

I was thinking dropping a message on the channels and discourse would do.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:07:11

Roseline Bassey: Maybe not. The CommBlog does get some visibility that other channels don't, though. The article could even be one paragraph, like a "save the date" kind of post.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:07:36

But the article would come after the poll

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:07:40

Once we have a date/time picked

<@irradiated_lemming:matrix.org>

12:07:41

I wonder if putting a little meta-section in the sidebar of the commblog Site specifically for how to get involved and team announcements. That might be a good way to help both get people involved and announce the new time.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:07:52

Adrian: That is a good idea

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:08:04

!idea More callouts for how to contribute as an editor in the CommBlog site navigation

<@roseline:matrix.org>

12:08:05

good one!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:08:26

!idea "Save the date" type of post after the meeting day/time is selected?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:08:36

With that though, we are over time and I want to yield the channel for anyone else who might need it :)

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:08:42

Thanks folks for being here!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:08:46

Have a great rest of your week!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:08:50

Stay tuned for those polls.
