"It is so nice when a grandfather takes their grandson to get a haircut" == said to me today 18:08:49 "that is my dad" my son says which got everyone laughing with a wink/wink at me. 18:08:59 ha 18:09:06 #topic old documentation 18:09:45 I think the only thing to do on translations is just to edit the main page and hope that translators will update the translation 18:09:48 So I started looking again at all the pages at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:EPEL 18:10:26 Many of the pages haven't been touched in 4-6 years 18:10:57 yep. I last poked the important ones, but I didn't mess with a lot of the obscure ones. 18:11:08 I would like to delete most of the obscure ones 18:11:37 The information in them just gets people confused and coming up with lines like "But it says on XYZ that I need to do this strange dance before I can get a package" 18:12:07 yep. Fine with me. 18:12:15 last time I did a reorg I tried to kill the FAQ... 18:12:22 but people kept re-adding and re-adding it. 18:12:48 My plan is to pull any useful information and put the stuff in the epel pagure docs. If people want to add/update stuff they can send pull requests 18:13:12 So that we don't have to deal with the war of the edits 18:14:02 I will go over the pages that I am looking to prune, send them to the list for people to comment, and then delete them after the next meeting. 18:14:08 I'm fine with nuking the obscure stuff that isn't linked to/used/hasnt been edited in a long time 18:14:14 +1 18:14:30 sure, go ahead 18:14:33 thanks. 18:14:50 #topic charter draft 0.0 18:15:05 OK I sent this out last night and don't expect people to have much takes on it 18:15:52 yeah, it seemed fine from a skim, but I need to actually read it through 18:15:58 I just wanted to raise it in the meeting for people to look at and then send me anything they would like added/removed/edited. I will put the docs up after next meeting 18:16:26 I saw it, but due to the aforementioned exam I haven't put much thought on it yet :( thanks anyway. 18:16:31 no problem 18:16:40 Best vision statement I've seen in a long time. 18:16:53 I understand completely.. it isn't like I haven't been saying I would write this for 6 months. 18:17:47 tibbs, thanks. Everyone of these docs has one but everything I came up with made me ill in re-reading so I just went with my gut before sending 18:18:12 I personally hate those damn things. But then again, I work for a living. 18:18:34 OK I am going to put this to open floor and then close out 18:18:40 #topic open floor 18:18:49 anyone have anything from the floor? 18:19:06 should we send anymore reminders about el5? 18:19:18 the sky is blue, the trees are having promiscuous sex and my eyes hurt 18:19:45 those filthy trees. :) 18:19:48 nirik, yes we should. You had mentioned that an article for Fedora Magazine or OpenSource.com might be useful 18:20:13 yeah, I think someone was working on one, but I cannot recall who. we could ask jwf or stickster 18:20:15 I don't care what they do in their woods.. but when their stuff gets all over my house.. 18:20:42 ok that probably went over the line on my part. my apologies 18:21:21 alright. I am going to try and get my various blog articles into something publishable and send it to jwf/stickster to look at. If bstinson or someone else gets theirs done first yay! 18:22:02 #info RHEL-5 ends of life on April 1st. EPEL-5 will be moved to archives on April 6th 18:22:21 if not sooner 18:22:32 ok I am going to close this meeting out. Thank you all for making it. 18:22:41 I wonder how many people will show up on #epel complaining about this.. it'll be fun. 18:22:42 #endmeeting
