I don't know what that means 14:14:22 maybe we want to continue with this on the ML? 14:14:25 #action randomuser to start thread on mailing list to ask rkratky and yruseva what then need to know 14:14:31 right :-) 14:14:34 heh 14:15:02 I wonder if they talked to web@ or design@ 14:15:28 zoglesby, publishing sprint thursday, then? 14:15:37 randomuser: Sure 14:16:15 #info 12June Office hours will be a publishing sprint, please attend 14:16:26 randomuser: beat me to it 14:16:36 zoglesby, want to send out an invite on the list? 14:16:42 :( taking wife to Dr then 14:16:43 randomuser: sure 14:17:16 #action zoglesby to send out invite to publishing sprint on the 12 June 14:17:23 Anything more on this topic? 14:18:04 * randomuser has to step out briefly to check on another meeting 14:18:16 #topic Fedora.next Product Updates 14:18:38 will be traveling on Thu, but will try do do my part later 14:18:55 I have no new news for Server. jsmith or randomuser do you have anything? 14:19:30 no news for eng and stacks either :) 14:19:38 env, rather 14:20:33 still watching the package discussion 14:20:38 pkovar: Sorry! 14:20:53 randomuser: I am doing the same 14:21:00 zoglesby: np :-) 14:21:14 I expect it to start ramping up soon. 14:21:26 there's an interesting school of thought held by some that Workstation doesn't need to include extra apps by default, because there is an application installer 14:22:10 #topic Guide Status 14:22:17 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Docs_Project_tasks 14:22:26 * randomuser brb 14:22:42 Any updates on guides? 14:23:42 nothing for the install guide 14:24:06 well, except for the fact that I'm thinking about scrapping the current one and starting from scratch 14:24:29 pkovar: that sounds fun 14:24:45 The Secure Development Guide has seen some input as of late. 14:25:20 I'm also working on a TLS guide that will replace lots of text elsewhere. 14:26:04 Sparks:will that be stand-alone or a part of the cookbook? 14:26:36 damn, pbokoc, that sounds dire 14:27:01 randomuser, I think it's better than trying to patch the current thing up. We'll see. 14:27:13 the idea is to make it way shorter, and move advanced topics to the wiki 14:27:22 ugh 14:27:24 like, PXE booting, Kickstart, VNC, etc. 14:27:25 randomuser: tag in? I need to take a phone call 14:27:34 zoglesby, tag 14:27:38 thanks 14:28:18 pbokoc, I know there's some bloat, but I don't like the idea of moving things to the wiki 14:28:38 zoglesby: It'll be a stand alone article. 14:29:00 zoglesby: It's pretty indepth. 14:29:38 pbokoc, are you wanting to remove those things specifically, or just trim down the guide in general ? 14:30:05 randomuser, the latter. I haven't really given it that much thought yet, it's just something I've been thinking about 14:30:14 ack 14:30:54 pbokoc, I'll throw some ideas out for you later 14:31:18 when I have some spare time I'll sit down and try to design a new structure - what should stay, what should go to the wiki, or other guides, etc. 14:31:24 all right, input is always welcome 14:31:35 (also: jhradilek gave me the idea, so blame him) 14:31:39 heh 14:32:19 oh and even if we keep everything in the guide as it is, it still needs restructuring from the backend side - the "800 xmls" thing is horrendous 14:32:44 and it makes even less sense here than in the RHEL version which talks about 3 separate architectures... 14:32:47 the GRUB questions are constant and people seem to want answers specific to their context, so I've done a little to cover that in the gestating multiboot-guide 14:32:52 for example 14:34:10 pbokoc, what do you think about branching for the trim, and using master for maintenance updates for the f21 timeframe? 14:34:43 randomuser, definitely. I'm not going to start writing it from scratch on master, don't worry :) 14:35:02 * randomuser smirks 14:35:39 * mpduty is here 14:35:39 pbokoc, i was more worried about the schedule than your methodology 14:36:24 Anything else on guides? 14:37:07 * pbokoc has a quick question about publishing 14:38:05 pbokoc, yes? 14:38:21 there's a mention on the wiki page saying that release engineering needs to add every guide manually... so, did anyone make a batch request for all published books, or do I need to do it? 14:38:34 * Sparks notices pbokoc just got a failed build 14:38:40 yeah, that's why I'm asking 14:38:48 the error in build.log isn't exactly helpful 14:38:52 pbokoc: There was a batch add done already. 14:39:09 aha, so it's something else then 14:39:13 pbokoc: I'll need to investigate. Can you hit me up on #fedora-docs post meeting? 14:39:20 Sparks, sure thing 14:39:21 releng trac if needed, right Sparks ? 14:39:44 * zoglesby is back 14:39:57 pbokoc: I believe the problem is that you aren't in the system as an allowed user. 14:40:09 warning: user pbokoc does not exist - using root 14:40:21 huh 14:40:23 Oh, no that's not it 14:40:31 that sounds pretty standard for mock 14:40:36 build.log says warning: Could not canonicalize hostname: buildvm-15.phx2.fedoraproject.org 14:40:43 I have no idea what that means :) 14:40:44 that too 14:40:45 No, the error is: Error: No Package found for publican-API = 4.1 14:41:00 I've not heard of a publican-API package. 14:41:50 i think that message means you need a publican 4.1 package 14:42:06 that API part is confusing, though 14:42:19 Okay, we can work on this post meeting 14:42:35 let's take a minute to look at bugs 14:42:46 #topic Outstanding Bug Tickets 14:42:53 http://tinyurl.com/lbrq84 14:42:58 * rkratky is sorry he had to bolt before 14:44:54 and bugzilla is telling me to please stand by 14:45:23 yeah, there was an update recently 14:46:50 If it's working for anyone else, do they see a bug worth discussing? 14:48:10 there doesn't seem to be a lot of new stuff 14:48:30 No, but it seems to be way faster than it used to be 14:48:35 randomuser, also you probably need to disable some script-blocking addon, or enable javascript, or something 14:48:52 * randomuser checks 14:48:58 yeah, it's significantly faster... it went from "glacier" to "molasses" :) 14:49:21 ;) 14:50:00 hmm.. i don't think I have anything like that on this laptop 14:50:03 surprisingly 14:50:34 in that case... install noscript and then disable it :)) 14:50:44 hehe 14:51:49 anyway, there doesn't seem to be anything too interesting filed recently, just something about translation for the FreeIPA guide 14:52:10 oh, that reminds me 14:52:30 zoglesby, tag 14:52:45 #topic Open floor discussion 14:52:55 randomuser: tag 14:53:11 Anything else before we end? 14:53:23 fedocal shows meeting docs office hours on sunday? 14:53:46 mpduty: we have office hours on thrusday and sunday 14:53:54 I mean office hours on sunday at 13h00 UTC? 14:54:40 mpduty: that sounds correct to me 14:54:51 ok, but there is nothing on thursday? 14:55:16 mpduty: no, we have thursdays as weel 14:55:18 well 14:55:33 diffrent times for diffrent parts of the world 14:56:05 * jsmith is back online, sorry 14:56:31 * randomuser back 14:56:33 jsmith: welcome to the end 14:56:49 zoglesby: "The End is Near"? 14:56:55 * jsmith ducks and hides 14:57:04 i was reminded that maybe we need to change the default assignment for the free-ipa guide 14:57:06 REPENT! 14:57:14 FWIW, I spoke to the Cloud folks in their cloud meeting last week 14:57:30 They agreed that they need to get their act together and communicate with us on their expectations for Cloudy documentation 14:58:11 Sounds like they want to at a minimum work on basic documentation for their three deliverables 14:58:18 we're building up a nice todo list, i hope people show up 14:58:42 Yeah... they understand that we can help with formatting/publishing, but that they're the subject matter experts, and we need them to do a lot of the actual writing 14:59:09 jsmith, would it help to, say, mirror the cloud guide on github and take PRs? 14:59:09 lots to write, so little time. 14:59:10 Long term, we might revisit the Cloud Guide as well, but that's in the hand-wavy future 14:59:48 randomuser: Sure, if that's the workflow that works best for people... personally, I'd rather re-visit the Cloud Guide outline and do some slash-and-burn first, though 15:00:00 * randomuser defers 15:00:07 Please move to #fedora-docs, as we are out of time. 15:00:15 randomuser: I doubt they're going to show up and write things in DocBook -- so I suggested just wiki pages or something like that for the short term 15:00:16 * jsmith moves 15:00:19 #endmeeting
