11:38:49
Thank you.🙏🏽
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:39:14
This is the only pending article that I see. So I don't think we need to assign any reviews. Let's build the schedule.
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:39:36
!info FWD 2024 article edited and ready, and an Elections article is ready too.

11:39:55
So…
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:40:07
FWD on Wednesday, Elections on Thursday?
<@amoloney:fedora.im>
11:40:20
ok link created in workflow https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/elections/114858
<@amoloney:fedora.im>
11:40:28
and yep, I like that suggested schedule
<@amoloney:fedora.im>
11:40:53
Elections needs a featured image please and a review for grammar, etc would be appreciated :)
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:41:08
obazeeconsole: Does Wednesday work for the FWD 2024 article or is there another desired publish date?
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:41:14
obazeeconsole: Does Wednesday (tomorrow) work for the FWD 2024 article or is there another desired publish date?
<@obazeeconsole:matrix.org>
11:41:28
Can I work on this?
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:41:36
Ack. Maybe we just use the "Fedora community" featured image since this is a more official announcement.
<@amoloney:fedora.im>
11:41:47
absolutely! And thank you :)
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:41:57
Oh sure! You could create a featured image for the article versus the one I suggested too :)
<@obazeeconsole:matrix.org>
11:42:00
Tomorrow is fine by me.✅
<@amoloney:fedora.im>
11:42:03
I would need it by Thursday, is that timeline ok for you?
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:42:04
But, optional on the featured image
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:42:07
Let me show the one I meant
<@obazeeconsole:matrix.org>
11:42:25
Sure!
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:44:27
OK. Let me write a !proposed, and then let's vote +1/-1 on the schedule
<@amoloney:fedora.im>
11:44:32
amazing , thank you!
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:45:16

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:46:31

Anything else to cover on the schedule?
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:47:00
I don't think there is anything I missed here
<@amoloney:fedora.im>
11:47:15

11:47:35
!topic Author Q&A
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:47:41
!info If an article author is present, this is a chance for them to ask questions to the editors about their post.
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:48:04
Now is a good time to ask any questions as an author, or an editor, really.
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:48:36
obazeeconsole, Winifred Taigbenu: How are things going for both of you? Any doubts that you have that we could help clear up? Or everything is smooth?
<@obazeeconsole:matrix.org>
11:49:39
From an editors POV, are editors open to incorporating new ideas or they must follow the specified guidelines of the community?
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:50:19
Interesting question. I'm not sure I understand it though. How do you mean?
<@amoloney:fedora.im>
11:51:49
Im not sure I understand it either 😅
<@obazeeconsole:matrix.org>
11:52:37
I'm asking about introducing new content formats, and changing the structure of existing content?
<@amoloney:fedora.im>
11:53:04
If you're asking if editors of an existing article are open to new ideas for their article, I would say not really. Editing in this instance, as I understand it, is for spell check, readability (ie no sentence is too long, too short), bad grammar or a better phrasing of something
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:53:41
I see. Yeah, Aoife is right.
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:54:13
I mean, I do often edit for structure of content. Sometimes I edit or add headers. Generally, it is a good practice to not have more than 300 words without breaking it up with a heading
<@amoloney:fedora.im>
11:54:21
For new content, my instinct would be new ideas are welcome, once they are Fedora-themed
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:54:27
But I am not fundamentally changing the content or adding new things
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:55:16
Does this help answer the question?
<@obazeeconsole:matrix.org>
11:55:26
Thank you Justin W. Flory (he/him): Aoife Moloney: your responses were helpful.🙏🏽
<@obazeeconsole:matrix.org>
11:55:39
Yes, thank you!
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:55:41
Super. Of course!
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:55:58
Winifred Taigbenu: Any questions or doubts you have?
<@winifredtaigbenu:matrix.org>
11:56:23
No question from my end
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:56:32
OK, sure!
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:56:51

Any final thoughts, questions, anything from anyone before we wrap this show up?
<@amoloney:fedora.im>
11:57:50
nothing from me, thanks Justin W. Flory (he/him) Winifred Taigbenu obazeeconsole ! :)
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:58:12
Oh, maybe it would be wise to write up some of the actions for clarity before wrapping this
<@obazeeconsole:matrix.org>
11:59:05
Do we have any social media post or activity recognising May 1st ( World International Worker's Day)
<@jflory7:fedora.im>
11:59:46
Oh, that is an interesting idea. I don't think a post but I'm also not sure what we would say or what our message would be.
