Fedora was a part of it, and you can get a quick overview in this introductory article by x3mboy! 16:41:45 16:41:51 Anyone else have anything they'd like to throw out there? 16:42:20 Nothing from me 16:42:23 no 16:42:34 sorry guys i am late 16:42:54 (I went to just quickly pee but i saw imperfection in my makeup...) :D 16:43:18 AM I CONNECTED? 16:43:35 :D 16:43:51 Ok i think that it works... I never know when I lock the pc 16:43:54 * jwf waves to Rhea 16:43:58 #chair Rhea 16:43:58 Current chairs: Rhea bt0 jwf linuxmodder x3mboy 16:44:08 #topic Action items from last meeting 16:44:13 #link https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/commops/commops.2017-04-11-16.29.html 16:44:22 #info How This Works: We look at past #action items from the last meeting for quick follow-up. If a task is completed, we move on to the next one. If it isn't, we get an update and re-action it if needed. If no status, we'll try to get a quick update and move forward. 16:44:28 #info === [COMPLETE] jwf File ticket upstream with FAmSCo about Ambassador event reports === 16:44:32 #link https://pagure.io/famsco/issue/422 16:44:36 #info === [COMPLETE] jwf Assign ticket #70 to x3mboy === 16:44:40 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/70 16:44:46 #info === [COMPLETE] bee2502 File ticket #108 on geographic-based metrics :) === 16:44:50 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/109 16:44:56 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/109 16:45:02 #info === [IN PROGRESS] jwf Continue working on new editor guidelines for how folks can help with editing / scheduling articles === 16:45:09 #action jwf Continue working on new editor guidelines for how folks can help with editing / scheduling articles 16:45:15 #info === [COMPLETE] jwf Share the hack session details on the mailing list === 16:45:17 16:45:24 That was it for action items… :) 16:45:24 Justin had an action item "when do we hack thing again" 16:45:35 :D 16:45:50 Rhea: Yeah, we can likely throw one on again for this week… I think it would be helpful too. 16:45:52 #topic Tickets 16:45:56 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issues?tags=meeting 16:46:06 So, as a brief note here first— 16:46:26 (1) I didn't have a chance to really look at tickets before the meeting for what to cover or not in the meeting 16:46:56 (2) However, I think it would be more helpful to make sure some of the important tickets we're working on are assigned, and then leave it to the ticket assignee to choose whether to add it to the meeting agenda or not 16:47:26 (3) So I was thinking we can go through the two tickets on the agenda now, and then after, make sure some of our relevant tickets have a lead person working on them 16:47:28 16:47:37 Does this all sound reasonable? 16:48:25 yup 16:48:29 Hmm. 16:48:44 Mhm. 16:49:08 +1 16:49:17 Okay, cool. For the first ticket, #70, I actually think we do have some stuff we can cover now! 16:49:29 #info === Ticket #70: "FOSS Student Pack" === 16:49:33 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/70 16:49:42 * jwf takes a minute to do a mental CTRL+R 16:50:40 This one is mine 16:50:57 x3mboy: Want to take the floor for a quick update? 16:51:33 I roll out the survey in my FLISoL, I need to upload results, but I want to wait until FLISoL ends (There are some locations that relocate their event) 16:51:59 (like Mexico City :D) 16:52:14 Okay, cool. So still expecting some responses? Also, how much feedback are we looking at right now? 16:53:14 The feedback I hope from the surveys are the commonest packages of software used by students, and how they saw Linux and FLOSS 16:53:50 That would help us to create the first draft list about what software should be included inthe Pack 16:54:31 * jwf nods 16:54:33 Also, I want to run a survey inside the community, (probably through an CommBlog Article) about the Pack, most thinking on presentation of the pack 16:54:57 sounds good 16:55:05 With this 2 feedbacks we can discuss the final steps to follow 16:55:23 +1. Sounds like you have two action items here to keep momentum on this ticket. :) 16:55:40 I'm hoping end of June (sorry if it feels lfar away, but at the end of May I will be on vacations) 16:56:15 Also, anyone is invited to take the lead when it feels needed 16:56:43 I think you've got a good timeline here. :) 16:56:48 Let me take some quick notes for the minutes. 16:57:18 #info Survey was given out during FLISoL by x3mboy and bt0 (some still in progress, so not yet finalized). 16:57:39 #info Most feedback about the most common software used by students and how they see Linux and open source 16:57:44 question, Mexico is in NA or Latam? 16:57:52 bt0 Latam 16:57:58 Heh, interesting question, but I guess LATAM 16:58:01 Yeah 16:58:14 in the ambassadors is listed in NA 16:58:24 can we get some of these surveys on a someplace like google or some other site that all of us can use for events 16:58:30 Hmmm… probably needs to be clarified. 16:58:35 bt0, its latam 16:58:44 ok, :) 16:58:46 x3mboy / bt0: How did you distribute the surveys? Google form? 16:58:49 clarified many times 16:59:17 jwf I did manually 16:59:21 can see something like this to be coming out of marketing 16:59:34 I have to upload the results in the GForm 16:59:47 o.o 17:00:05 Southern_Gentlem, It is at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf0vm8MOoCc05Nyv_fXBBBsKHroeYzzUUkidSSv3WHwuteWiA/viewform?usp=sf_link 17:00:31 #info Next steps are to create draft list about what tools in Fedora would be helpful to include and also running a survey to Fedora community about how to present the pack 17:01:00 #info Once this feedback is collected, a first draft of what this looks like can be expected around end of June 17:01:15 bt0: Curious, where did you see Mexico referred to as part of NA? 17:01:43 jwf there are some older docs that need to be weeded 17:01:45 Just a random thought based on discussion i had earlier about something else... what about physical pack? 17:01:51 x3mboy: Okay, cool. A spreadsheet would probably be easiest to process, but we can probably deal with that once you have it all collected. :) 17:02:04 :D 17:02:05 Southern_Gentlem: Probably. If we have a place to update it, might as well do it now. 17:02:11 * bt0 here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/MembershipService/Verification?rd=Ambassadors/CountryList 17:02:23 Rhea: I think that would require budget that we're not yet in a place to request or work with. 17:02:50 bt0: Ooh, that page… that's managed by a script in Infra that uses literal continents / regions for grouping Ambassadors. 17:02:52 physical pack - could be just a flyer with a bunch of short links, such as the six different locations to download Fedora (workstation, spins, labs, cloud, server, arm) and then list of the tools and stuff 17:02:54 bt0, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Ambassadors_Latin_America_(FAMLATAM)?rd=Fedora_Ambassadors_LATAM here is listed as LATAM 17:03:23 Not sure how we could go about updating that specific page, but you're right, that is confusing. 17:03:33 Ok :) 17:03:34 place where to - easy - universities, random students/ambassadors can get them printed locally, and deliver to university where they can ba randomly placed in the hall, chill place, etc 17:03:36 libraries 17:04:22 Rhea, https://x3mboy.fedorapeople.org/StudentPackSurveyEN.pdf 17:04:46 Rhea: This sounds a bit like a press kit that Marketing might try / is trying to produce, to help assist Ambassadors with these in-person kinds of advertising / promotion. :) 17:04:51 I'm pretty sure the email is in both list (Ambassadors LATAM and CommOps), but glad to share it here 17:05:00 well maybe, i dont know about those things... 17:05:12 i'm just thinking of student-targetted 17:05:17 * jwf nods 17:05:37 Rhea, maybe QR Codes??? 17:05:49 Maybe publicize the Play Store Apps??? 17:06:12 o.o 17:06:30 Rhea: I understand what you mean. I think this is a ball we'd want to leave in Marketing's court, since this is more of their area, particularly with flyers / promotional material / etc. Ideally, we'd want to coordinate with Marketing once we have this idea finished out a bit. 17:07:30 +1 17:07:36 Okay, so— 17:08:03 I have 2 actions with this ticket 17:08:08 Should we move on??? 17:08:27 x3mboy: I think we can action you for two things here, no? One, to collect feedback from the surveys and begin working on a draft once you have it collected, and two, putting together a CommBlog article to try to poll the community on how they would like to see this pack presented? 17:08:42 Yes 17:08:43 Well my point is also that everyone who does these things never includes all the locations to download fedora, and the getfedora page doesnt have them all, it's hidden-as-F**** 17:08:48 Not all of these to be completed by next week, of course, but just as two bigger visions here :) 17:08:52 six different download pages 17:09:02 Rhea: With the Spins / Labs pages, you mean? 17:09:03 getfedora lists two or three 17:09:22 workstation, server, cloud, arm, spins, labs 17:09:38 #action x3mboy Work on collecting FLISoL feedback to use for putting together a first draft of what to include in Student Pack 17:09:44 And don't forget about alt 17:10:01 alt? 17:10:19 * x3mboy didn't know about its existence until last week 17:10:24 #action x3mboy Begin drafting a Community Blog article to poll community on ways they think the student pack should be presented 17:10:28 Rhea, https://alt.fedoraproject.org/ 17:10:38 x3mboy: One more thing—do you think it makes sense to bump this off the meeting tag until you have news to share? 17:10:47 okay lets make it seven (i did know about this page but it doesnt bring anything new to the table, does it?) 17:10:50 So then, once you need feedback or want to discuss, you can add the meeting tag back. :) 17:11:16 jwf, open to hear feedback and opinion, but nothing more from me 17:11:24 * jwf nods 17:11:47 x3mboy: Okay, cool. So whenever you want to hear feedback or get thoughts of others, just add the meeting tag back in Pagure. :) 17:11:50 Rhea, the minimal and netinstaller 17:12:06 #agreed Meeting tag will be removed from this ticket until there are more updates, but x3mboy will add it back when feedback / thoughts are needed 17:12:26 #info === Ticket #92: "Start a yearly Fedora Appreciation Day" === 17:12:27 and the cloud / nightly images jwf Rhea 17:12:33 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/92 17:12:53 Okay, so this ticket is mostly an "oops" for me, because I finished my re-write of this ticket, but it's not yet done 17:13:04 I'm strongly pushing for this to be done in the next week and it's a high priority item for me 17:13:31 #action jwf Finish rewriting Fedora Appreciation Week ticket based on feedback from old ticket, comments in Diversity WG Pagure, and in-person discussions 17:13:51 I don't have many other comments to add in here right now, though 17:14:02 Past week or two has been a little crazy 17:14:51 However, unless anyone has something they want to put out for Appreciation Week, this does leave us a little time to take a moment to look at other tickets in the big picture 17:15:10 Not for now 17:15:54 And a typo above that I missed, * because I never finished my re-write, rather. :P But it is started. 17:16:06 Anyways… 17:16:13 #info === Looking at other tickets === 17:16:47 So, this is an idea that I think would be helpful for us in the long run, and also, might make it a little less intimidating to chair some of the CommOps meetings. :P But basically… 17:17:59 #idea Every active ticket should have an owner or assignee, and during meetings, it is the ticket assignee's responsibility to give updates or ask for feedback, if it's needed. Otherwise, if the assignee doesn't have anything to share, the ticket can be kept off of the meeting agenda until feedback is needed. Tickets without assignees can be brought up during meetings to find out how to move forward. 17:18:34 Hmm, maybe I should have split that up in multiple lines, but hopefully that makes sense still. 17:19:00 #idea if a ticket get more than a X time (fixed and voted for the team), can be taken by other to work on 17:19:14 OH just off topic - x3mboy i forgot, atomic has its own page as well, that makes it 8 download pages :D 17:19:24 x3mboy: Ah, so you mean if there hasn't been any progress or updates? 17:19:32 jwf, yeap 17:19:38 x3mboy: +100. 17:19:41 Rhea, :S 17:19:46 jwf, +1 17:20:01 x3mboy,+1 17:20:25 About this thing jwf did you work on F-appreciation day/week? (new ticket) 17:20:48 Rhea: Heh, see above… not yet, but it's on my high priority list for this business week 17:21:03 Got jumbled up somewhere along the way into this week. :P 17:21:10 oh sorry i missed that item 17:21:38 okay, when you do you can assign it to me if you want 17:21:48 No worries. There's a lot of "jwf" lines above, sometimes it looks like a little sea of text, heheh 17:22:02 Rhea: Okay, cool, that's good to know – I'd be happy to pass it off to you while I'm away 17:22:46 Anyways, bt0, I see you have #109 on geographic-based metrics (and also saw that Pagure repo pop up), so I think you're making progress there. :) 17:23:00 Was there anything worth bringing up now, or is it still a work-in-progress? 17:23:09 yeah 17:23:22 work in progress 17:23:31 * jwf nods 17:23:50 I need the bee and skamath review 17:24:15 #info #109 (Metrics based on Geographical location in FAS) is still a work in progress. bt0 is working through this ticket, needs review by bee2502 / skamath 17:24:30 :D 17:24:49 hey lovely people, i'm gonna bail on you because i need to be somewhere else before my next meeting! 17:25:00 * Rhea disappears in a poof of smoke 17:25:14 Rhea: Okay, makes sense – see you around. :) 17:25:17 * bt0 lol 17:26:00 Okay, looking through everything else, I think it's pretty clear what we're all up to. Hopefully in future meetings, we can try to lean a little more on ticket owners to take the floor for some of their topics. :) 17:26:20 I feel like we're all pretty clear on what's going on right now, though… is anyone confused on what to work on or need clarification on anything? 17:26:29 Otherwise, I think we're good on tickets for the time being 17:28:30 Tickets, going once… 17:28:40 Going twice… 17:28:46 And thrice… 17:29:01 #topic Community Blog 17:29:04 #info Skipping for this week, will pick up in time next week! 17:29:06 jwf-- :P 17:29:10 #topic Open floor 17:29:37 Okay, so… anything else we want to cover here for open floor? 17:29:57 Yes 17:30:07 x3mboy: Floor is yours! 17:30:17 * jwf also digs for his laptop charger in the meanwhile 17:30:43 I think we can/could/should schedule another hacking session 17:31:02 Like the one we did 2 weeks ago 17:31:51 Oh, yeah, we were going to talk about that too! 17:32:28 Is there any other day / time than Thursday that works for you all? As of a few hours ago, I had my entire Thursday crossed off for free time… 17:32:38 I'm partially flexible for Wednesday and Friday 17:33:40 Friday is good for me (because I don't have social live) 17:33:49 :D 17:35:05 :) 17:35:16 Okay, Friday afternoon here is good for me, let me check the specific times… 17:35:29 Friday works for me 17:37:12 Between 14:30-16:00 CEST works for me, so that's 12:30-14:00 UTC, and 8:30-10:00 US ET. 17:37:37 Or, I could maybe do 19:00-20:00 CEST too 17:38:28 19:00-20:00 CEST == 17:00-18:00 UTC == 13:00-14:00 US ET 17:38:28 Any of these times open for either of you? 17:39:45 12:30-14:00 UTC 17:41:20 bt0: That's preferable for me :) 17:41:34 We can ping on the mailing list to see if this works for more folks, but let's tentatively aim for then 17:41:52 ok, fine 17:42:11 #agreed Tentatively aiming for Friday, 2017 April 28, 12:30-14:00 UTC hack session 17:42:24 #action jwf Get feedback about proposed hack session time on mailing list 17:42:28 Okay, cool. :) 17:42:32 Anything else to cover here? 17:42:55 Hi guys! Let me ask, how can I find more about this hacking session? :) 17:43:11 resilva87: Hiya! 17:43:22 resilva87: Did you catch the details of the last one or is this new to you? 17:44:00 jwf I'm kind of following your conversation but I don't know what this is about :P 17:44:15 resilva87: You can see more about what a hack session is here. :) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Hack_session 17:44:23 great :D, ty 17:44:36 resilva87: They're mostly times for us to all sync up in audio/video calls to work on tasks, ask questions, and collaborate. :) 17:44:55 resilva87: Sometimes they can be noisy, other times, we're all quietly working on things until someone has a question or wants to bring something up. :) 17:45:23 In an international setting, it's the best we can get to working in the same office or building, and leaning over to ask a neighbor a question on something. 17:45:51 Or at least, that's kind of how I've thought about them. Other times though, they can be quite talkative if we have something to discuss. :) 17:46:33 resilva87: If you happen to be free at that time, you're definitely more than welcome to join! We either use a BlueJeans instance or Google Hangouts. 17:46:49 hehe that sounds cool, a bit chaotic though :P 17:47:06 jwf sure, I think 12:30 utc is fine for me 17:47:29 Sometimes, but we usually do get work done. There's a light agenda prepared ahead of time too, but maybe we can have an open Etherpad or doc somewhere for people to put what they want to work on. 17:47:35 Actually, I think this would help a lot 17:47:55 #action jwf Create Etherpad and put out open call for what folks want to work on specifically before the hack session 17:48:02 Will include this on the mailing list post :) 17:48:20 Anything else we want to cover before closing? Comments, questions, concerns, ideas? 17:49:10 Going once… 17:49:17 nop 17:49:20 Going twice… 17:49:26 And thrice… 17:49:38 Okay, folks, thanks for coming out today! Until next time… :) 17:49:40 #endmeeting
