20:00:37 <nirik> morning
20:00:43 <pgreco_> hello
20:00:44 <tdawson> Hi nirik
20:00:47 <tdawson> Hi pgreco_
20:01:21 <pgreco> better now, didn't know my nick had changed ;)
20:01:44 <tdawson> Hi pgreco ... with the new name :)
20:01:55 <carlwgeorge> .hi
20:01:56 <zodbot> carlwgeorge: carlwgeorge 'Carl George' <carl@redhat.com>
20:02:04 <tdawson> Hi carlwgeorge
20:03:19 <tdawson> I haven't seen michel or davide today ... has anyone else?
20:03:41 <tdawson> I also can't remember david's new irc nick.
20:05:00 <tdawson> OK, let's get started.
20:05:04 <carlwgeorge> fyi centos is having an open board meeting right now
20:05:16 <carlwgeorge> that's where davide is (and me too)
20:05:37 <tdawson> Ah, that would explain davide ... and michel is still on maternity leave if I remember right.
20:05:56 <tdawson> So, packagers SIG is now it's own topic, so we'll get to that later.
20:06:07 <tdawson> That brings us to epel-next
20:06:19 <tdawson> carlwgeorge: nirik: How is epel-next going?
20:06:30 <carlwgeorge> no change since last week
20:06:41 <nirik> yeah, nest then bigger fires...
20:06:51 <tdawson> Understood.
20:06:54 <carlwgeorge> i need to get with mboddu/nirik to set up the koji build target, hopefully soonish
20:07:26 * nirik notes this friday is a 'recharge day'
20:08:05 <tdawson> Sounds like it's possible that will get done this week, but don't be surprised if it doesn't.
20:08:52 <tdawson> Sounds good.   We'll check in next week.
20:09:23 <tdawson> Moving on to badges and logo's ... and mascotts.
20:10:02 <tdawson> I didn't get any negative feedback on the logo on any of my presentations.
20:10:23 <tdawson> Nothing negative is a positive to me
20:10:38 <pgreco> +0 ;)
20:10:43 <tdawson> :)
20:11:15 <tdawson> There was also a little movement on the mascot.
20:11:34 <tdawson> But beyond that, I think we weren't the only group that was putting alot of time into nest.
20:12:22 <tdawson> moving on to default bodhi time
20:12:38 <tdawson> nirik I know this was a busy week, were you able to change the bodhi time for EPEL?
20:14:23 <tdawson> Hmm ... ok, I'll move onto documentation
20:14:23 <nirik> oh no, I clean forgot. Will do it today
20:14:51 <tdawson> nirik: Not a problem, that's why I have it on my list of things to bring up. :)
20:15:54 <tdawson> I started working on the new documentation, though all I got to was setting up my branch so that it could build the example documentation, and have it say EPEL instead of Pizza.
20:16:31 <tdawson> I'm hoping to get a few pages transfered over this week, just into my branch for now.
20:17:19 <tdawson> So, my estimate is two weeks and we'll have some of the stuff transfered over into the real fedora docs area.
20:17:28 <pgreco> nice
20:17:59 <pgreco> it's hard work and rarely appreciated
20:18:29 <tdawson> Once we get it started, then it should be fairly easy for any of ya'll to take your favorite page and either update it (cuz I already did it) or move it over.
20:18:58 <tdawson> wiki's are such a love / hate thing for me.
20:19:41 <tdawson> I think that's it for old business ...
20:19:50 <tdawson> #topic EPEL-7
20:20:12 <pgreco> it's a hate/hate for me, so you're one step ahead
20:20:15 <tdawson> I didn't see anything this week for EPEL7 ... did anyone else?
20:20:18 <tdawson> Ha!
20:21:05 <pgreco> nothing I can think of
20:21:19 <tdawson> #topic EPEL-8
20:22:16 <tdawson> Although I was working on EPEL8 stuff all week, I believe it was all KDE related .. and not really much I need to bring up here.
20:22:49 <tdawson> Did anyone see any EPEL 8 stuff this week.
20:23:25 <tdawson> I keep thinking EPEL macros ... but I think that was last week.
20:24:00 <pgreco> that was merged, right?
20:24:06 <tdawson> #topic EPEL-Packaging-SIG
20:24:14 <tdawson> Ya ... it got merged, and I think built.
20:25:33 <pgreco> good
20:25:50 <nirik> which? epel-rpm-macros? yeah... it's already stable
20:26:16 <tdawson> So for the SIG, I've had two missing -devel packages progress in their bugzilla's so that they on in Verified ... although they still haven't made it into RHEL8 CRB, so I can't get rid of my <package>-epel packages.
20:27:18 <tdawson> So... almost something has almost happened. :)
20:27:24 <pgreco> which packages? just for reference
20:27:33 <tdawson> flatpak-devel
20:27:42 <pgreco> movement is good, I think
20:27:43 <tdawson> and mobile-blahblahblah-devel
20:28:38 <pgreco> original name...
20:28:41 <tdawson> Both of them the package maintainers were excited to get them into CRB.
20:29:00 <tdawson> mobile-broadband-provider-info-devel
20:29:15 <pgreco> ok, that's good
20:29:39 <pgreco> hopefully this will be easier in 9
20:29:57 <nirik> we can always hope
20:30:08 <tdawson> Right now, it's the same steps for 9.
20:30:24 <tdawson> But, once it's in 9, then it should automatically be there for 10.
20:30:31 <carlwgeorge> i think it will help having epel9-next ready, because we can start showing demand for -devel packages sooner, and the rhel devs are a lot more flexible adding/removing at this stage
20:30:53 <tdawson> Yep
20:30:56 <pgreco> yeah
20:31:11 <nirik> +1
20:31:26 <tdawson> Anything else for the SIG?
20:32:12 <tdawson> #topic General Issues / Open Floor
20:32:49 <tdawson> I just wanted to say that I think EPEL was very well represented at Flock/Nest
20:34:10 <tdawson> I know we were just a little bit in the metrics in the State of Fedora ... but we litterally were in both the first, and the last talk of Nest.
20:34:12 <nirik> yeah, some excellent talks... kudos to all who did them
20:35:04 <tdawson> Yep
20:35:21 <tdawson> Do we have anything else for Open Floor?
20:35:36 <tdawson> If not, this might be one of the shorter meetings we've had.
20:35:52 <pgreco> I have nothing
20:36:10 <rsc> Oh, it's that late already.
20:36:11 <pgreco> let's say thanks to the CentOS Board Meeting for these 25 minutes
20:36:31 <tdawson> Ha! :)
20:36:42 <tdawson> rsc: It is ... did you have anything you wanted to bring up?
20:37:09 <tdawson> rsc: Most people were in another meeting, so things went fast.
20:37:34 <carlwgeorge> also didn't make any progress on epel9-next this week :P
20:37:35 <rsc> tdawson: No, I've nothing to bring up. Saw your presentation at Nest :)
20:38:13 <tdawson> Yep, between the other meeting, and nest taking alot of people's time, not much to report this week.
20:38:38 <tdawson> I'm going to close early, and next week should be much busier.
20:39:05 <tdawson> Thank you all for coming, and for all your work in EPEL.  It is appreciated.
