11:33:56

I think we might have some other folks join in a bit later too.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:34:13

I'm hoping to build up our editorship of the CommBlog!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:34:41

I was shadowing how the Magazine onboarded editors, and they, well… just did it.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:34:48

Maybe we can follow that lead :)

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:35:07

cool sounds good

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:36:02

Hi folks!

<@fhrp:matrix.org>

11:36:29

Thank you Justin W. Flory (he/him) I'm really enjoying the Magazine

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:36:32

!info Present: @amoloney, @jflory7, @farribeiro, @tffhrtp, @roseline-bassey

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:36:46

You've been doing great there! 🙌

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:37:00

OK! So, let's go ahead and dive in to the agenda today.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:37:09

We _do_ have a few articles stacked up, actually.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:37:10

!topic Pending article review

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:37:15

!info What We Do: Review the pending queue of Community Blog articles and assign pending posts to an editor.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:37:18

!link https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/workflows/community-blog-review/79

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:38:07

I see three review requests, although one of them is a Magazine article I think!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:38:31

And then there is the Strategy post, which I think is also ready for review.

<@fhrp:matrix.org>

11:39:16

I think https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/pitch-butane-to-ignition-how-to-automatically-configure-fedora-coreos/111878/5 was intended to be Magazine, I'm not sure how it got to be Comm

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:39:17

Let's look at the first one

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:39:27

!info === "Fedora @SCaLE Linux Conference [21x / 2024]" ===

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:39:33

!link https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/review-publish-fedora-scale-linux-conference-21x-2024/112267

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:39:53

Perry has written for us before on SCaLE, he writes very thorough event reports!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:40:12

I have not combed through this yet, but we definitely want to publish this.

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:41:12

skimming now

<@kanyin:matrix.org>

11:41:12

!hi

<@zodbot:fedora.im>

11:41:14

Oluwakanyinsola Obadeyi (kanyin) - she / her / hers

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:41:22

Lots of great photos! It does make me think that the WordPress theme does not do a great job of organizing lots of photos.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:41:28

Oluwakanyinsola Obadeyi (Kanyin): Hello, welcome! 👋

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:41:35

!info Present: + @kanyin

<@obazeeconsole:matrix.org>

11:41:59

!hi

<@zodbot:fedora.im>

11:42:01

Consolation Obazee (obazeeconsole) - she / her / hers

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:42:09

I think this article would be a light touch by an editor. It is pretty thorough and already follows a lot of our guidelines.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:42:16

Hi obazeeconsole, welcome! 👋

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:42:25

!info Present: + @obazeeconsole

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:43:02

!idea Some photos could be a gallery instead, so they could be clicked through without making the article length longer. Longer articles can lose engagement and a gallery can make the article load more quickly on low-bandwidth.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:43:09

!idea A featured image is still needed for this post.

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:43:25

yeah I totally agree with the gallery comment

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:43:36

I like the piece a lot though

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:43:39

Overall though, it is a thoughtful post and I don't see too much editing work here.

<@fhrp:matrix.org>

11:43:42

!idea Think the post would benefit from a gallery, too

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:43:47

So, I think we have two opportunities for contribution here!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:44:17

1. We need an editorial pass, ideally turning some images into a gallery. 2. We need a featured image created.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:44:39

We have editor guidelines here, on what we look for generally: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/editor-guidelines/

<@obazeeconsole:matrix.org>

11:44:54

Can I contribute (hop on the) featured image?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:44:55

Is anyone interested in taking either one of these two actions up?

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:45:00

Im going to create issues for those tasks in the ticket tracker

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:45:03

Yes!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:45:12

Aoife Moloney: Oh awesome! Yeah, that works :)

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:45:16

will assign to the (lucky) volunteers then :)

<@kanyin:matrix.org>

11:45:19

Can I work on the first one?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:45:31

Oluwakanyinsola Obadeyi (Kanyin): Sure!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:45:45

Oluwakanyinsola Obadeyi (Kanyin), obazeeconsole: You both can collaborate together on this one :)

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:46:00

Aoife Moloney: Thinking of the schedule this week… what would be a good day for this one?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:46:12

I assume we have a Strategy post coming tomorrow (Wed).

<@obazeeconsole:matrix.org>

11:46:16

Alright!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:46:35

Aoife is probably prepping the GitLab issues :)

<@kanyin:matrix.org>

11:46:36

Great!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:46:52

So, I think next Monday, 15 April is a good target date

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:47:00

That gives the week to edit this article and get the featured image ready.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:47:11

So, some nice buffer for a first-time editor :)

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:47:52

Oluwakanyinsola Obadeyi (Kanyin), obazeeconsole: Is Friday OK as a deadline for both of you? We can schedule the article for publishing on Monday morning.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:48:25

!idea Also, the article title should include the year/edition of the conference to not get confused with prior editions

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:49:18

sorry was creating the issues

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:49:28

I figured, all good :D Thanks for that.

<@obazeeconsole:matrix.org>

11:49:46

No problem, I can work with this.👍

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:50:08

OK, I think this is a workable plan then :)

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:50:33

they live here, Oluwakanyinsola Obadeyi (Kanyin) obazeeconsole could you make sure you have a GitLab user account created please so you can self-assign, or I can assign you to the tickets you have selected to work on please?

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:51:06

Thursday?

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:51:16

nv,

<@kanyin:matrix.org>

11:51:21

Yes, it is.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:51:23

11 April or 18 April?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:51:28

ahh

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:51:34

nvm, didnt scrll through the whole convo

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:51:46

!action @kanyin due:2024-04-12 Take an editorial pass on the SCaLE article by Friday, follow up with the author on Fedora Discussion to confirm scheduling the article for Monday, 15 April

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:51:47

All good!

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:51:51

next week is fine to give people time to execute on tasks

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:52:17

!action @obazeeconsole due:2024-04-12 Create a featured image for the SCaLE article using the Community Blog images template

11:53:02

Oluwakanyinsola Obadeyi (Kanyin), obazeeconsole: This should be enough for both of you to get started. If you have questions along the way, ask in #marketing:fedoraproject.org :)

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:53:11

We are running short on time though, I want to keep pressing forward!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:53:48

This one is ready from my POV. And yeah, I am biased :)

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:54:04

But it would be nice to have another editor take a look and review. It should be a light pass. It could go out on Thursday.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:54:08

But it would be nice to have another editor take a look and review. It should be a light pass. It could go out on Thursday, 11 April.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:54:17

Any takers for this one?

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:54:47

How come its a magazine article and not blog post?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:54:58

Hmm??

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:55:11

It looks CommBlog to me: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/?p=13477&preview=1&_ppp=a8a5b28527

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:55:43

oh I think I misunderstood the title then, the brackets have {Article proposal] - I took that to mean Magazine Article

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:55:45

I’d like to edit this…

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:56:02

Oh, hah… yeah, there is not a precedent for the prefixes.

<@fhrp:matrix.org>

11:56:11

Roseline Bassey: got to it before I did

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:56:12

I went with that originally because when I posted, I wanted feedback from the DEI Team first.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:56:22

All good!

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:56:32

ah gotcha - sorry for the confusion!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:56:48

Roseline Bassey: You can take this one up!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:57:00

The deadline is tighter but the touch is also lighter too, I think.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:57:11

As before, you can always ask for guidance in #marketing:fedoraproject.org too with the CommBlog :)

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:57:21

Let's aim for having it prepped and done by tomorrow.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:57:40

Work for you Roseline Bassey?

<@roseline:matrix.org>

11:57:59

Yes

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:58:03

👍️

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:58:25

Aoife Moloney: Could you also help prep an issue for that one too? Or because it is so soon, should we just go for it?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:58:57

!action @roseline-bassey due:2024-04-10 Take an editor pass on "Fedora DEI Team 2023 Q4: Appreciation Week and new members" for publishing on Thu, 11 April

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

11:59:02

I think just go for it for that one and maybe take a leaf out of your book and just comment under the draft when its been reviewed as 'ready'?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:59:22

Makes sense to me!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:59:39

OK. Phew. We are at the end of our half-hour slot.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

11:59:44

The time always goes so fast!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:00:03

We did not get to other parts of the agenda. But I'm okay with that. This is the first time we have welcomed more editors into the mix!

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

12:00:08

I know! 😅

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:00:14

Matthew Davis: We don't have something for you this time, but next week will be better :)

<@fhrp:matrix.org>

12:00:26

Okie dokie

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:00:30

I feel good about today though, this is a nice change of pace from the usual roundtable :)

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:00:35

Thanks everyone for being here!

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:00:41

We'll be back, same time and same place, next week.

<@fhrp:matrix.org>

12:00:46

Justin W. Flory (he/him): thanks!

<@amoloney:fedora.im>

12:00:59

Thanks everyone! Cya next week 😊💙

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

12:01:04

Have a wonderful rest of your day, folks! See ya next time. Thanks Aoife Moloney for the help on the admin/GitLab end too :)
